To the editor the HsRALD.
There is liv ng ia this county gentleman
who. in the stirring times of the past, &C.
cupied many prominent positions in the
making of tho history of this state, and was
an important factor 10 the making up Of
lis most serious events. We refer to Hon.
John NJ. Crockett, eI>lieutenAnt governor of
the state, who's, retiring modesty has, in
these latter days, kept him too much in the
back, aground. We append few incidents
Of his life, thinking them appropriate at this
time, and trust you will publish them in
view OF the approaching great re- union OF
Missouri ex-confederate soldiers in this city,
seeing that he is taking such great interest
in the preparations for their entertainment.
Governor Crockett WAS among the esrli-
est immigrants to this city and has been one
of the most consistent citizens A demo-
crst and a South Csrolinian, he was thorough
ly disguised with the uufrendly and uhdig-
niied course of northern politicians toward
the south. and he Was ripe for secession. He
Is not of hasty temperament and took IN all
tho circumstances. He knew the wrongs
done the south were unproyoked aud that
the insults we're TOO gross to be borne. He
believed it WAS all intended ss menace to
the firm of government and the liberties of
the people and should be repealed.
Ca the evening of the day that brought
the news OF Mr. LN9eoln's election ne collect
