Dorsey has utterly dumbtounded the
politicians who played the Indiana
came with another blast, which APP
pears i'm the REGISTER TO day, in which
he saws that the article in the Sun a
few weeks ago was correct in almost
every particular. He pOrtrays in its
true light the hOOdwinking and chican-
ery practiced by the New York pollti-
clans and tells how he was urged TO
accept a Cabinet position. He says
that champagne and idiocy was the
ruling spirit in the Empire state, while
greeubacks alone carried Indiana. This
must indeed be cOnsOling and tattering
to the members OF the grand old par
tyn who tried to punish one Of their
flock, and who escaped between the
rails ofiustice and stands on the outside
of the fence revealing TO the world not
"what l know about sheep raising
but "what know about the political
tricksterS and money bags OF my former
associates" 1t would have been far
better for the grand old party" to have
shielded DORSEY than To have perse-
cuted him. In the former event they
might have carried Indiana in 81, but
it is too late to repent when man dies
in sin. For such is the virtue of Justice

while in the service; one out of every
fifteen was captured or reported miss.
ing; one out of every ten was wound ed
in action; one out of every seven cap
tured died in captivity.
The total Of deaths from violent causes
during the war was 93,969. The total
of deaths from disease during the same
time was 1925, and from unknown
causes, 24,ls4. 1t therefore appears
that disease killed more than twice as
many as bullets, shells and bayoness.
The largest number Of deaths from dis
ease was the result Of typhoid fever ard
chronic dlarrhea, and close upon them
in order Of fatality was Inflammation
of the lungs. Between 900, 900 and 1885,
600 men were discharged during the
war, the stronger probability resting
with the larger estimate. Consumption
was the cause OF discharge of 10000
cases, this coming after gunshot
wounds Rheumatism claimed no
fewer than $4,000 victims, and heart
disease nearly 1900, while diarrhea
and debility between them accounted
for 81, 900 discharges.
The Provost Marshal General in 1866
made report of the casualties in the
Union and Confederate armies during
the civil war. The figures as to the
Union army are as follows:

Died OF wounds.

In the same statement the number OF
Confederate soldiers who died of wounds
or disease is given at 3,S2l; but this
is obviously incomplete.

MCDONALD.

TX. SenatOr MCDONALD has strong
hopes of Democratic success i'll Iowa
this fall, and is arranging his business
affairs in Indiana in order to speak for
the party upon the great questions in
VOWED in the campaign. He is also
announced to make few speeches for
the Ohio Democracy. When asked
whether he did not think it wise for u
man so much talked about in connec-
ton with the Presidency to keep quiet
ard retire until after his party cOnven-
lion had chosen its nominee, he said:
NO, sir. My party can have my opin-
ions and my services at any and at all
times" "a fine character is MCDON-
AIDS" says the Washington Capital,
''sound, strong and consistent. He has
always been loyal to revenue tariff,
honest money and the Federal Union.
Loyalty is his chief characteristic. 1t
was loyalty to his friend HENDRICKS
at Cincinnati i'm 1850 that kept No
DONALD off the Democratic National
ticket aud nominated HANCOCK and
ENGLISH. But MCDONALD, serene
in the possession of the best practice
and one of the handsomest wives in lu-
diana, waits cheerfully for 81"

THE REIMBURSEMENT.

The editor of the Intelligencer, ac-
knowledging that he cannot make u
case that would obtain ahearing in any
court against the ro-asseSSment act, he
now proposes to carry the case to the
polls. AT this tribunal he hopes that
INSTRUMENTATION and differences will be
accepted as facts; but he will find that
the voters of West Virginia are not the
ignoramuses that Republican editors
are in the habit Of holding them up to
be.
The public is periodically treated to
an array of statistical tables, by the In
telligencer and other Republican papers
exhibiting a terrible density of ignO-
rance among the people of West Nir-
ginia, and presuming on the state of
facts they represent to exhibit, they
straightwsy proceed to try to stuff this
ignorant population with stories of
how they are being swindled,
robbed, and tax-ridden. \ few
years ago, Mr.. y. w. CAMPBELL
editor of the Intelligencer, went all the
way to Philippi to deliver a speech
made up of laudations Of the superior
educational requirements and smart
ness Of the Yankee citizens of the New
England States over the ignorant peo-
pie Of West Virginia. But when the
latter people came to give their verdict
at the polls, it was discovered that they
knew about as we'll what they were
about as any other voting population Of
similar numbers.
So the editor OF the Intelligencer will
discover it to be in this ease.

A MIDSUMMER STORM.

A heavy wind and rain storm occurred in
the west last Friday night, inficting con-
siderable damage over a large extent of
territory. The storm passed over st. Louis,
Mo-, unrooting thirteen of the best business
houses in the city, and otherwise doing
heavy damage. The court house and Jail
were injured, and the City Hall and Presby-
terian church are almost total wrecks. The
storm traversed not only large part of
Missouri, but covered various sections Of
Kansas, Iowa and Illinois. The velocity Of
the wind at ST. Louis was fifty miles per
hour, and it came apparently from nearly
all directions, but mainly from the north
and northwest.
The storm was damaging at various points
in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Da-
kota and in portions Of Pennsylvania. Kan
sas sustains the severest injury to the crops.
A late dispatch from Benton, Mo-, says:
During the storm on Friday q mill was
blown into Grand River and completely
wrecked. Loss $4,000. The Presbyterian
church was destroyed, causing loss Of
$4,000. Many other buildings were badly
damaged 4 special from Atchison, Kan
sas, says late information shows that Fri

THROUGH TRAINS.

The first passenger train on the Chester
and Lenoir Railroad from Chester to New
ton, n. c., passed through last Saturday
evening on schedule time, and the trains
commenced running regularly last Monday
morning on schedule conforming to the
completion of the road to Newton. The
schedule from Newton to Chester is printed
on the fourth page ofthis paper. Thetrains,
however, now run from Lancaster to New
ton, passing each other at Chester The an
nual meeting of the stockholders will be
held in Newton on Thursday the2nd OF Au-
gust.
Speaking Of the "effect of the much need
ed connecting line between the great cotton
belt of South Carolina and the grain-produc-
ing section Of North Carolina" the Newton
Enterprise says:
1t will give our people the most direct
and profitable market for most oftheir home
products flour, corn, bacon, beef, fruits, &C.
The passenger traffic on the road will un-
doubtedly be great, as it opens up direct
route between the scOrching sands OF South
Carolina and the rocks and cliffs of our own
Eldorado. 1t will benefit the people Of
South Carolina in various ways. 1t will de-
velop our country, especially the country
through which it passes, by giving the peo,,
pie market for their products. The road
will raise up new towns all along the line
and give old ones lasting boom. There
fore it is not surprising that the people of
the Piedmont section of our State take such
Il deep interest in the enterprise.

NOTES FROM BETHEL.

BETHEL, S. c., July 1.-THE weather now
is very favorable for killing grass in the
cotton and corn, and we are all busy haul
ing in our wheat and oats, preparing for the
annual visit of the threshers, which is a sort
of festival among the workers for although
the work is very hard, the quantities OF
fried chicken, chicken pie and other dain-
ties which they get, compensate very well
for the hard labor performed. Nobody is
better prepared to say who are the good
cooks in the country than are the men who
make the annual rounds with the threshing
machines.

Mr.. D. NJ. Johnston, of "the Point" section,

LETTER FROM UNION.

UNION, S. c., July 16-Not great deal
is heard now of the Union, Gaffney City
and Rutherfordtor Railroad. There is to
be a meeting of the corporators at Gaffney
City, on the 21st July, I believe, but wheth-
Union (town) will be represented or not, is
more than I can say at present. No doubt
it will be perfectly safe to say that her rep
resentatives will not be in attendance, as
she has done nothing whatever towards the
building of the U. G. G. and R. r. r:
Unions heart is not set on that project, and
/ don't think she would subscribe as much
as dried apple toward the building of the
road in the way of taxation; 1 mean Union
town and Union township only, because two
townships in this county are strongly in
favor of the road, and Union ought to be,
but she is not. Your correspondent asked
one day, how it was that Union appeared
first in the style of the corporation? "Why
because it was thought then, Union would
take the lead in this enterprise, subscribe
largely to it and push the matter right
ahead" was the reply. If that was the in
tention in putting Union at the beginning
of the name Of the corporation, those who
did SO were sadly mistaken in SO doing.
We should like very much to see the rail
road built from here to RutherfOrdtOn, n.
c., and then from this place to Newberry,
Edgefeld and Barnwell to Port Royal, 5.
G.; but we fear it will be a long while yet
before it is done, if ever.
A big ball is booked for the 25th of July,
to be given by the young people Of Union,
at the Union Hotel, which promises in some
respects tC be quite brilliant affair. The
invitations are out now, with great long
list of names of managers and committee
men on them. If the weather does not
change before then, it will be particularly
hot for dancing, en-?
A few of our people have gone Oft for a
little summer recreation, and more OF them
will go later.
The crops are not very promising this sea-
son. They have been worked very well too.
In some sections of the county, however,
there has been much more rain than in other
sections and where there has been rain the
crops are better. In town and vicinity there
had been but little rain for nearly three
weeks until Saturday when a nice showerfell
which extended over nearly all the county.
The cotton crop is somewhat belated, owing
to the late Spring, consequently it is small,
but it looks tolerably well. Corn in the dry
sections on up-lands will not make more than
a half crop if the seasons are favorable for
it from this time on. 1t is too soon to pre-
dict any thing about the bottom lands yet.
Wheat crops were very good, but the oat
crop was only ordinary. Business is pretty
dull now and our town aWfully quiet except
on Saturday. NICCOLO.
