A WAN Of Nerve.

The recent death OF Mr.. Albert Mel
len at Dallas, Texas, recalls O striking
incident of the war of rebellion. Al
bert Mellen was a man of Delve He
was taken prisoner by She Federal ar
my at Vicksburg in 1854, when he was
"a years Of age. He was ordered ont
for f~ortifcation work, under o negro
guard. He claimed exemption as a
prisoner, and refused to go. A squad
of negro soldiers, under a white lieu
tenant was sent to coerce him with bay
onets. He looked a moment at the
SQUAD and saw that they meant to i'm
pale him If he did not obey the order.
His situation demanded quickness and
decision. He seized o Ratchet. lying
near--as Vlrginius snaiches q hatchet
from the butchers stall-and suddenly
kneeling down on the floor of bis prison
laid ont his left arm. and with two
brave strokes severed his hand CONS
pletely from the arm. He then rose
and shook the bleeding stump iE the
face of the lieutenant. He did not go
to the fortiRcatiOn. He beat the
lieutenant and his negroes, and what Il
more, he never regretted the act, which
made him . permanent cripple.-Es.
We were acquainted with the
deceased, and he was at all times q man
of nerve. He had an iron hook placed
on the stump Of his left arm. and it
was surprising with what facility ho
could use it.

JACKSON. MISS, July 18th, 1878. g

The vicksburg Herald regrets that
Mr.. Davis made the speech he did at
. Mississippi City. on 10th day Of
July, on the occasion Of n ~presenta-
ton to him. by the ASSOCIATION of the
army of Tennessee, of q gold badge, as
a mark of respect. The Herald thinks
the North will take it mp and make
capital of it. No doubt such On at>
tempt will be made. but the effect will
a lount to but little. As the Mobile
Register observes the speech was well
considered, mild, statesmanlike. and
very generally correct in it's proper
tons. r'a
The New Orleans Picayune remarks
tina: Mr.. Davis said nothing which
properly understood could excite the
least uneasi less in the mind Of the
most ardent friends of the Union, eve
if his sentiments be accepted as those
Of the entire Sonth. The right Of Sc
cession has been formerly and sincere
~ abandoned, and abandoned forever.
Still il would be q mistake to suppose
that its issues belong altogether to the
past. The sovereignty of the several
States IN all matters pertaining to their
private concerns was tie real issue in>
-olved, and the necessity Of that sover
eighty has been the logic of events
since the war, despite the results of the
war. Mr.. Davis distinctly disa.
vowed any attention to excite hos
tility towards the Union as now consti-
tuted, and argued the duty Of accept
ing the situation as it has been c
cepted. This conclusion bears more
heavily upon him than upon any
other mar i'll the world, and yet he de.
clares it.
For the rest, the speech was little
more than q eulogy upon the heroes
and achievements of the Army of Tens
~nessee, pronounced with that forcible
eioqnence which was to have been ex-
pected from a man distinguished in so
many spheres Of public duty and 80
long eminent in the camps and coun-
ellis Of the nation.

Bishop M:ryeira has written the
Nashvi le Christian Advocate a letter
concerning a rec mt tour through Ms
sissippi, ana among other things has the
following to say of Al i SIT zion hat
hOnors Bruokheyen, honcrs Mississippi
and honors the ca ,.ch which foun ed
it: s..
Whitworth Coli .ga. sine, the Presi-
dency of the Rev. Fl. T. Johnson be-
gan. eleven years age, has hid a debt
of S., 600, ald added thles times as
much in value to its real est tie and ia
~cilities for instruction, and is 10 ont
OF debt, with a larger number of board
ers and pupils than l have seen else
where. The financial result is from the
income of the institution-not of cub
scription, gift or agency. Several DAYS
spent in the delightful college family
at Brookhaven left me in no doubt as to
how this succrs, has beer achieved. The
location is good, the management bet
ter. The order is exceptional in the
commencement exercises. The crowded
audience receive the essays and other
performances with pl asure, but with
ont boisterons applause. Tlis rule was
violated once only-wheu President
johnson took occasion to express his
intention to abide with the college. and
conduct it forward to still larger sue
cess. / know not where a station of
equal influence for good conld be
found; and his loss would be ire
parable.
Long will I remember the morning
hvmns at chapel prayers. The must
cal performance was grand, when. m
der Prof. Eckhardt's wand, ten pianos
were going at once. two pair OF hands
to esch-in accord. But these girls can
do better than that. to my liking. Be
sides 'Zampa." and ames de Sc

Ship of Zion" in real camp meeting
style.
Another fact noteworthy was the
plainness of dressing-neat. tasteful,
but plain. Calico was the style reg
nant, and not much fringe or furbelow
with that. Dav after day | looked for
the evil of the times to crop out-ex-
travagant dressing; but it came not,
and it is by rule repressed.
I enjoyed the essays. music and rec
itatives more than the cGatdta and
charade performances. though the lat.
ter seemed to be slightly in excess of
popularity. These things, even when
well done are easily overdone, and it is
we'll to guard the tendency in that di-
rectiou.

The Primary System.

Mr.. Editor
Allusion is sometimes made to a
Court House Ring. Whether such a
thing is reality or myth is not
the question under discussion.
Suffice it to say, if such Ring is
only remote possibility, the adop-
ion of the primary system Of nomina-
tions would be the surest safeguard
against it.
BY Court House Ring I moan
no disparagement to the Democrats
of the town of Orangeburg. The
Democrats there are as pure and
patriotic rs any in the County.
But | refer to the possible cont ng-
cncy of n secret combination between
prominent Republicans and Demo
crats, under tho shadow Of the Court
House, to manipulate politics to
personal ends
Such thing is not impossible, and
why be squcamish about guarding
against it.
Wherever there is concentration
of power there is danger Of rings and
monopolics.
What is the cause Of the despotism
which hus cursed the United States
for the past fifteen years?
The Capitalization of power in the
Washington.
Opposition to this Capitalization is
the key note and grand mission of
the Democratic party.
Conventions ccntralize power.
Primaries restore it to the people
where it properly belongs.
Conventions, nllording more Sec
recy, furnish the opportunity for log.
rolling, wirc.pulling and intriguing.
Orangeburg times. [volume] (Orangeburg Court House [S.C.]) 1877-1881, 1878-05-25

ly to let every registered Democ
vote at primaries.
Besides, Mr.. Editor, the advantage
that there can Jc no fusion IN the prtu,
aries, which is at least posi- BILE in
conventions, [ would state another
which | have not yet mentioned.
It will have tendency to brin e
recruits to the party from among
the colored people, which seems
to have failed under the pre-
sent system. For instance, in many
cases they will have n preference
from among the candidate before the
people, and will want to express it by
voting, The answer will be: register
as Democrat, and you can vote.
Every one W ho votes will thus be
committed, and in this way we may
get Il large accession to our vote in
the general election against the com
mon enemy.
This Mr.. Editor is the last hope
that you will hear from your "crriny
brother" on this subject. I now leave
it with the people resting satisfied
with their decision, having no person
al interest in the matter whatever.
In conclusion allow ME to express
my appreciation Of the pleasant man
ner in which Hampton Democrat"
has so far conducted the discussion
on his side.
