Mn. EDIToR Ten Of the so-called rescuers
In the @. G. Hill case-witnesses and all-
started for tho United States Court ut Green
willie, on Sunday, the 4th inst. In the COM
pany was Mr.. o. d. II. Graham, one of the
Grand Jurors. Mr.. G. being resident of your
town, wished to travel through tho country to
see the changes, &c., and was we'll pleased for
his trouble. We arrived at Spartanburg about
sunset and stopped with Mr.. Kelley. Our stay
was to bc short, as we had to take the night
train for Grcenville. Our much esteemed
friend, Mr.. Carrier, sent round one Of his
buses and gave US all free ride to tho depot.
may ms 5nasSM nSser gFs lsss and his sss
about o'clock A. M. Monday. We then took
the street car to the Moselcy House, about ono
hundred yards from the Court House, and 1
must not forget to mention that tho Colonel
and his better-half knows how to fix up all
things right to suit their guests. Tho fare is
good and cheap, and would recommend oil Of
my Union friends when they visit Green yille TO
give Col Moselcy q call.
Col. I. G. McKissick arrived on Tuesday
morning. Tho weather was very warm and the
crowd so large that there were but little pleas
uro during the day. The streets were crowded.
The night was pleasant and cool.
Tuesday was the day set apart for the con-
test drill of certain volunteer companies They
were four in number. All were dressed in
gray, and with much taste. The prize was twen-
ty-fve dollars and beautiful flag The drill
came off at o'clock 2. N. Col. j. P. Thomas,
of Charlotte, was judge of the contest. To an
eye witness, who knew nothing about the
volunteers, it would have been hard to dis
criminate; but not SO with Col. ]. p. Thomas.
He noted all errors, and so reported. The
maximum was good for all, bat the Butler
Guards received. .ths. prise. Short addresses
were delivered by COL ]. 7. Thomas anl Gen.
Capers. ,...,.,. stt if o3
Greenviile is quite delightful and enter
prising city. The merchants oil complain of
hard times, and say they have lost money.
Goods arc cheap; some soy they are selling for
cost or less, as they are over-stocked.
As TO the Unitsd States Court have but little
to say as yet, as am someOhat concerned, but will
speak Of II at some future day. Judge Bryant
and District Attorney Northrop were at their
posts. The ainnestylpower was in full force for
Nil the Illicit distillers, &c. On Tuesday heard
that l46 came up and confessed their sins, and
promised TO sin no more. 1t was tHought there
would be about 800 by Monday night next.
This was great camp meeting shower Of grace
TO the mountaneers. What time we will have
now. Either shower Of whiskey, or the sup
ply stopped forever. We will wait and see.
Ne met many Of our old friends we hsd not
sSeo1 1or- years, and brought to mind the past.
A. 70 what will be done with the so-called
Union Rescuers we cannot yet say, as the case
was SO exaggerated in the beginning that tLo
with the case. They have become convinced
that there were moro gass than reality, and,if il
was not for pablo opinion there would be no
more trouble about II, for any thinking man
knows the charges, as they now stand, to be un-
true; for Union County is o law-abiding county,
as mach so rs any in the Htstc. Her citizens
cherish peace and not persecution. You have
seen the result rs to tho Ladd murderers.
II is not necessary for mo to say what the feel
ings Of Greenvills is,, as you will see ero this.
We all started homo Friday night from Green
yille at half-past r. M. Arrived ut Spartan.
burg at IL p. NJ. vent to our friend Carrier
and got q twelve O. clock passenger coach, and
lon Spartanburg for home ct IL NJ. Arrived at
home at half-past s A. NJ. Our friend put us
through for half price. II yon could have seen
the crowd about Glenn Springs IL would have
been anu sing, about two.thirds nodding and tn,
other onothird trying To keep them awake
We hal hard time oft. Arrived home SAFE
and found all well, but sorry 10 soy We hav,
dry weather. Crops failing, as the old woman

buttsrmilk. Whep my trouble Is over on viii
