paraued through the streets creating n great
disturbance, and when the Sheriff attempted to
arrest the ringeaders they assaulted him, but
nc succeeded in nrresting them and lodging
them in the guard house. Chatfeld, in behalf
OF the radicals, promised that if these negroes
were liberated no white citizens of Aiken Coun-

known by all.
Several more arrests have been made by Uni

There are some Of the most rabid Radicals
spending the season here. They seem to take
great interest in the proceedings, always siding

is man named Rice, from Vermont who is one

has written very bitter letter to n Vermont
paper, in which he abuses our people. He saws
publicly that if we would treat the negroes as
gentlemen there would be no more trouble in the
South, and that the United States government
has made great mistake in not DISTINGUISHING
nil the white people of the South for twenty
years. do not think our young men should
be blamed if they give him a genteel cowhidinp.
1t Is such men as Rice who keep the uuthipkinp o

Ignorant negroes and cause them to do many
deeds of violence that they would not otherwise

you allow us space in the columns OF your
widely-circulated journal to chronicle at this
late date the death and burial of Lieut.. ]. p.
Roland, Of the Third Arkansas, Wheeler's corps
of cavalry, who was killed at Rivers's Bridge,
Barnwell County. s. c., February the 1lth, 1866,
while calamity fighting to impede the march of
Sherman's troops? After the clash of arms had
ceased, about nightfall, n noble friend and COM
rade-in.arms searched for and found his BODY
placed it upon the back of the dead soldiers
faithful steed and conveyed it eight miles from
the scene OF action, where, by torchlight with
che assistance of solitary negro, it was laid,
with "boots aud spurs on meath the sod, with
only ON oil.oloth and gray blanket as wind
ing sheet, and with only the mournful music Of
the Southern pine to chant the funeral dirge.
Here the mortal remains of the noble martyr
rested until the late great struggle was over,
when through the suggestion of some true
hearted ladies of the vicinity they were dsin-
terred from their watery bed, removed u short
distance, nicely cofned and carefully re inferred
in q beautiful spot beneath q hickory grove,
where decorations Of white flowers and ever
green's were placed by the tender hands of those
who knew that far, far away beyond DeSoto' $
waters fond friends and kindred dear were
mourning the lost one of a Lost Cause.
Should any Of the kith and kin of departed
Roland read this feeble record in some Western
| exchange, may it be some source of consolation
to them to be Informed that as each memorial
day of the Southland rolls round n visitation is
made to the hallowed spot. The debris of de-
caying leaves and fallon limbs is cleared away,
then tender hands place wreaths and garlands
upon the lonely mound, and sympathizing souls
drop tears of sorrow for the absent loved ones
"And there he sleeps his long, las, sleep;
Ills battles now are DER;
The clash of arms, tho noise Of war,
Shall never wake him more
Nor can the shouts of victory
Fer reach his leaden ear
Nor thunder -pealing cannon loud
He ever more shall hear.
Nor does the sculptured marble there
Uprear its stately head,
To tell tie passing traveller
''lIere sleeps the noble dead"

The VICE PRESIDENT ELECT AN ALrES.-The
suspicion that Vice President elect Arthur was
not born in this country, and is therefore not
eligible to the position to which he has been
elected has gained considerable ground in the
past few days. New York lawyer has made
an elaborate examination Of the facts, and it
appears that the records show that his parents
did not reside in aay of the Counties Of Yer
mont, where he is alleged to have been born, at
the time Of his birth. His own statements as to
where he was born do not agree any more than
DO the statements of the year. His brother
was born in Fairfield, Vermont but not the Vice
President elect, Chester Allen Arthur. When
admitted to practice law in New York he claimed
to have been born in 1880, but the records show
that that interesting event could not have oc-
cured earlier than 1882 or 1888. 1t is stated
as further fact that since he was first informed
OF the proposed hunting up of his genealogy he
has been writing letters endeavoring to make
old residents recall things that did not occur in
order to establish his birth in Vermont, but
without success The developments in the case
are so startling and rest upon strong foundation
OF apparent truth that they demand serious and
instant attention. If it should be shown that
English, after all, is entitled to preside over the
Senate, what blow to Conking's hopes il will
prove. Fickle fortune will sometimes desert
even its most favored votaries, and if Arthur
be not Vice President, one great prop of an ever
lasting ambition has been Knocked away.-Bal-
