with the warlike tread of 100000 men,
be sprang into the contest, and headed
one of the first regiments that went from
South Carolina. He participated in all
of the bloody scenes of the Western
army, and his gallantry upon the field of
Chickamauga can be pointed to by his
friends as one of the most brilliant pieces
of heroism of the war. On this bloody
field large body of the Confederate
forces were commanded by him as briga.
dier.general. After the war be engaged
in planting, and has done much to pro-
mote the interests of the agricultural
classes in the lower counties. He was
in every way peculiarly fitted for the
position of Adjutant- General of the
State. He referred, be said, to Gen. Ar
thur NJ. Manigault, of Georgetown.
Mr.. James Walsh seconded the nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Massey, of York, placed in nomi-
nation Capt. Willie Jones, of Columbia,
young man who would reflect, he said,
as much credit upon the State as adju.
tant-general as he had reflected upon
himself as commander of the Governor
Guards.
Mr.. Andrew Crawford, Of Columbia,
seconded the nomination. Mr.. Jones, he
said, was q representative of the young
men of South Carolina, and his nomina-
ton would be but just recognition of
their unselfsh and patriotic devotion to
the State since 1861.
Mr.. George D. Bryan, of Charleston,
young men of South Carolina, and as
one who had the honor to be at the head
of one of the military companies of Char.
lesion composed OF young men of the
State, he rose to second the nomination
of Gen. Manigault, man whose great
experience in military affairs rendered
him peculiarly fitted for the task of reor-
ganizing and elevating the condition of
the military of the State. Such man
was needed by the young men of the
State at this time, and ii was in their
behalf that be advocated the nomination
of Gen. Manigault.
Mr.. Dibble nominated Col. A. D.
Goodwin, of Orangeburg, one, he said,
we'll qualified by long and faithful ser.
vice in the tented field to discharge the
duties of adjutant and inspector-gene
He had served the State with rare devo.
tion from the firing of the first gun to
the close of the disastrous struggle, and
had earned for himself an enviable record
as gallant soldier at the battle of Ma.
nassas.
Mr.. Mellichamp, of Oraugeburg, and
Gen. Prince seconded the nomination of
Col. Goodwin.
Nominations were then closed, and a
vote was taken with the following re-

gentleman who is in thorough accord
with the Democratic party in South Car
olina and in the United States upon
every principle which actuates it-a gen.
tleman who needs no encomiums at my
hands-the Hon. James N. Lipscomb, Of
Major G. Lamb Buist stated that he
took great pleasure in seconding the
nomination Of Col. Lipscomb. He had
rendered invaluable service to the State
in the past. he was representative of
a portion of the State which otherwise
would be given no representation on the
State ticket, and he was one of the mi.
nority in the Convention which had op-
posed nominations at this time. These
three considerations, aside from his great
personal qualifications, rendered him
peculiarly fitted for the nomination.
Mr.. I. D. Witherspoon nominated Col.
r. III. Sims, who was, he said, the cour.
teous and efficient incumbent of the Office
at the present time. As o soldier snd
civilian Col. Sims had already made an
enviable record. He had proved himself
an efficient officer, and bis friends claim
ed that it was due to him that this Con.
vention and the people of the. State
should recognize the efficient and faith.
full service he had rendered as a public
officer.
Mr.. John B. Erwin seconded the non-
ination of Col. Sims.

And if the people of his County, in their
sovereign capacity, should see fit to rati.
fy the action of the Convention he would
cheerfully and heartily acquiesce.
Mr.. Murray withdrew the motion say

Mr.. Johnstone renewed the motion of
Mr.. Murray to make the vote unanimous.

A CORRESPONDENT of the .9mef:caa Poui-
try Journal gives the following directions
for keeping sitting hens free from parasitic
vermin: When about to set a hen, take a
nail keg and soak it until water-tight; saw
it in halves, and put in two inches of water /;
into the water put one-half ounce of oil of
sassafras, and one-half ounce of solution
carbolic acid. Close to the surface of the
water fit thin piece of perforated board !;
put over this piece of flannel, and then
put in fresh earth enough to shape a nest
and line with cut straw. Now put a few
drops of oil of sassafras about the nest, put
in your eggs and hen, and over all put a
barrel with an arched opening on one side.
By this method eggs may be safely hatched
in January or February, even in very dry,
warm room-the water beneath furnishing
all the necessary moisture. l raised $50
game chicks last year without seeing sim
gle parasite.

9th, party consisting CT fourteen cou-
pie Of youug people, met at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Joseph Watt on Third
street, to make the necessary arrange
ments for a sail four miles up the

place where our boat was waiting for u.s.
After all were comfortably seated, at
$50 the Captain gaTe orders fer the
Ii. u NJ. to hoist her sails, which was
done amid many hugzahs from the large
crowd which had gathered on the canal
bridge to see the boat start on the ''per
ilOus voyage" to Macedonia, there to
spend the day in genera! sport. We
arrived at our defamation at ll:30 A.
NJ, the trip having been very plea
saut one, except a little nervousness
felt in going through the locks, and a
feeling of wearInes5 caused by sitting
so long In the boat. The lemonade
committee served faithfully, FOR they
had sonic of the best lemonade that
was ever made in the shade, and We ap-
preciated the cool and delicious drink,
as the heat was intense about noon.
A. 1870 p. VI. we were summoned to
partake of { bountifnl repa5t, Thich
had been prepared by TIE ladies', and |
for one must say the ladies know how
to prepare a picnic dinner, for the
ground "fairly groaned " under the
weight of the good things. After the

supper. The evening was the most
pleasant time. When the sun .as sink
ing behind the hills and Its rays fell no
more on our pleasant party, then it was
that we enjoyed ourselves the best; but
to orr great disappointment the order
came that all we're to prepare to return
home; as We had neglected to bring
nighthawk along, aud it would be some
what dangerous to 90 through the locks
without light; so at 8 P. NJ. We re-
luctantly tobk our departure from the
place where the scenery was SO mag
nifcent, and whefe the day had been
spent So pleasantly. We arrived at

to our several homes, pleased with the
