GEN. DANIEL MORGAN.

AT the unwilling of the Statue OF Gen.
eral Morgan, last week, ut Cowpens, ,.
C.. Judge Christian of Lynchburg, Va,
who delivered the address, mentions the
following incident in the life of the great
hero, which we reproduce, as it's familiar
10 many of our oldest citizens and the
starting point of that famous ''bee-line 10
Boston" was from well known spring
in this vicinity
s'As soon rs the Revolutionary war
broke out, Gen. Morgan, then living In
Winchester. Va, raised company oi
hardy m0untainiers, numbering 96 men
and called the Morgan Rifles. lhelr
uniform was hunting shirt, on the breast
of which were stitched in letters, by thelr
wives. mothers, and Swcet-hearts, the
words. Liberty or Death With this COM
many he marched to Boston where Gen.
Washington was then i'll command u the
Continental forces.
Arriving near Boston late in the even
ing. his company were resting, after their
long march, when Morgan SAW Washing
ton riding out alone. He drew up his
men into line rs Washington approached
and, saluting Lin, said: Genl, come QUO
miles from the right bank OF the Potomac
and bring to you these gallant men, ev-
crvone of whom knows how to shoot
r.fle and everyone knows how to dle lCr
liberty: for YOU see, sir, that each man
bears his banner upon his breast-Liberty
or Death.
History says that the great Washington,
dismounting, went down the line and
shook each man by the hand, while tears
f.
iac, he rode away without saying word.
The famous order given by Morgan to
his men the night before the attack upon
Tarleton at Cowpens, is i'll these words
1.-The old WAGNER will crack his whip
over Ben Tarlrlon in the morning as sure
rs lie lives. Just hold up your heads,
bows: three fires, three cheers and
charge and you are free. Then, when
Won return 10 your homes how the old
folks will bless you and the girls kiss You
for your gallant conduct"

eY" The LATEST SwINDLE.-The latest
sign-your-namc dodge is reported from q
neighboring county in Maryland, where
it was successfully worked. a farmer
was called upon one evening recently by
well dressed, gentlemanly looking
stranger who asked the privilege of STAY
ing over night, which was granted. In
the morning he offered topay his bill, but
the farmer refused the protlered compen-
sation. Profuse in his thanks for the
kinduess bestowed upon him he asked his
host TO favor him with his signature,
which he unsuspcctingly complied with,
and in few days the farmer received no
ticc that a note was held against him for
800, the signature Of which he could not
deny. This beats the phosphate or corn
shelter dodge considerably.

disease Of the heart. Col. Burch

Time, and visited the springs in
Tennessee, believing that they
would prove beneficial to him,

ease, and accepting the advice of
the resident physician, at the
springs, he came North, hoping
to find relief in northern waters.
He was accompanied by faith

III a weaker condition than was
at first supposed, the journey had
to be broken into stages. He ar

called in, upon examining the pa.
tent, found that he was in very
dangerous condition, suffering
from organic disc ase of the heart
and other complications, and said
It was very important that his
family should be summoned
home at once. Mrs. Burch and
her daughter were sojourning in
Pennsylvania, and the sad news
was Immediately sent them by
telegraph. They arrived here
on Tuesday morning. Col. Burch
knew his wife but was unable to
speak. DR.. Baxter informed her
of the condition OF her husband
and that death WAS liable TO oc-
cur at any moment. She ordered
that another physician be called
in for consultation, to which the
doctor asscnted, and DR.. Wales
was named by her as the consult

made an examination it was evil

WedI G day, takes occasion in
IN article on "The New South"

The extension Of railroad facil-
Tics IN The South and Southeast
is going on at rapid rate yet,
with the full promise Of success
and profit The field Of railroad
enterprise has for the time being
been transferred from the North
west to the Southeast, and the lat

no one familiar with the vast re
sources Of the Southeast will CUES
ton the advantage Of pushing
railroad development iii that sec
ton. The country possesses
wealth; has immense productive
resources; is thickIy populated.
and has a number of important
commercial centers which hereto
fore have been almost isolated
The railroads that are now being
completed are now opening up a
vast territory which possesses
innumerable advantages over any
similar extent Of country which
has lately been the field Of rail
road en- erprise. The railroads
are simply pushing on to points
where enormous business awaits
them, ready ut hand. There is
no speculation regarding the pos
sibility of the roads getting bust
ness, it is simply a question
whether the roads now projected
will answer the demands Of the
country even for a short time.
For a long time it has been ap-
parent that the South was suffer
ing for cheap and rapid transpor-
tation, and that its ability to pro
duce wealth WAS restricted by
lack of communication with the
outside world. Despite It's disad-
vantages it has made gigantic
strides toward prosperity, and
now that it is being supplied with
the necessary railroad facilities
its future becomes most prom
Using. The railroads that are
building up this section Will
share handsomely in the profits
are not only certain but they will
be immediate.

APPLICATIONS F0R PARDON.
The Rules Only By which Commnta-
tons o. Ps9d0us will be Granted by
the ciUYcrnor.

Coy. Hawkins has adopted the fol-
lowing rules with reference to the APP
piications for pardon:
I. The fate Of each application
must be determined by its merits as
disclosed by properly authenticated
documents. Section 1888 Of the Code
provides: Gle CHE GOVERNOR shall
cause to be entered in a book for that
purpose, his reasons for granting par
dons or committing punishment and
preserve on fileGll documents on which
he acted, and submit the same to the
General Assembly when called on"
Therefore, while every citizen VIII be
respectfully and patiently heard in any
verbal statement touching the merits
or dement's Of any pending applica-
,ion, yet no representation of facts can
be considered.or weighed either for or
against an application unless reduced
to writing and signed by the party ma
king it.
2. The application must, in ali
cases, be reduced to writing, setting
forth distinctly the reasons why the
convict should be pardoned, or his
punishment committed, and verified
bv the oath Of one or more credible
persons.
3. a certified copy Of the indict-
ment and final judgement Of convic-
ton, together with a certified copy Of
the evidence on the final trial, if the
same was reduced to writing, must IN
each case accompany the petition.
4. When the evidence, upon which
the prisoner was convicted, is not
furnished, the petition must be sub
United, if practicable, to the Judge
and Attorney General Of the court in
which the conviction was had, for such
statement Of facts or such reccommen-
dation as they may deem proper to
make, touching the same.
5. While these rules will be rigidly
adhered to, such other terms and con
ditions will be imposed as each case
may appear to merit.
