WAR "REMINISCENCES
Stonewall Jackson at the First Battle
of Bull Run.

CHARLEsroN, s. g., July 10. The
News aud Courier publishes u long
letter from Gen. Wade Hampton cor
recting the errors In the recent articles
OF Gems. Johnson and Imboden,
touching the fret battle Of Manassas
or Bull Run.
Gen. Hampton shows that the
Hampton legion, 500 strong,
arrested the victorious columns OF
Sherman aud Keyes, who were drlv-
lug the Confederate forces back, and
that the legion 40 delayed the Federal
advance rs TO enable the reinforce
ments to be brought up.
The News and Courier gives an elab-
crate review of the battle, the history
OF which IL claims must now
be rewritten. It's conclusion Ia
that Hampton was to jackson
at Manassas what Jackson was to the
whole Confederate left. Hampton
sived StonewRll Jackson az jackson
saved the army and IL was the meg
nificent fighting Of the legion under
the terrible odds that gave Jackson
time 10 bring bis troops into
position. Had he not had an
opportunity TO form the Vir
| giniahs, Who Afterwards stood like
stone wall the battle would have
bsen irretrievsbly lost The opportu-
nifty to form those Virginians was
given 10 Jackson by Hampton and bis
men and was given by them alone.

Enthusiasm.

There are some religious teachers who
are always preaching down enthusiasm,
and preaching what they call a sober
standard of feeling" in matters of reli-
gion, by which, in nine cases out of ten,
they mean precisely such tepid oondi-
tion as is described in much less polite
language, when the voice from heaven
says, Because thou art neither cold nor
hot / will spue thee out Of my mouth. "
That is the real meaning of the sobrie-
ty" that some people are always desiring
you to cultivate. l should have thought

Christian church in the nineteenth cen.
fury needed was a refrigerator. A poker

Newton and Voltaire on
Prophecy.

1t is remarkable fact that Sir Isaac
Newton, in his work on the prophecies of
Daniel and Revelation, said that if they
were true it would be necessary that a
new mode of travelling should be invent
ed. He said that the knowledge of man
kind would be 80 increased before Ger.
tain date, or time erminated-namely,
one thousand two hundred and sixty
years-that they would be able to travel
at the rate OF fifty miles an hour.
Voltaire got hold of this, and true to
the spirit of soepticism of all ages, said /:
=" Now, look at the mighty mind of New
ton, who discovered gravitation, when
he became an old man, and got into his
dotage, he began to study the book called
the Bible, and it seems in order to credit
its fabulus nonsense we must believe that
the knowledge Of mankind will be so in
creased that we shall be able to travel at
the rate OF fifty miles an hour. The poor
dotard."
The self complacency of the philoso-
phic infdel made his friends laugh, but
If he should get into railway train even
sceptic to-day would have to say,
Newton was wise philosopher, Voltaire

Double Wrong.

A church-member once said to her pas
tor: When my Affections came we did
not attend the church as we ought, and
we were ashamed to ask you to come to
us in our trouble. We were not able to
pay the pew-rent and we were ashamed
to come" How much mischief we In
hict upon our own souls and Christ
cause by false pride The church lost
the pew-rent, it is true but this was her
lightesi loss. She lost the presence and
helpfulness Of two of her members, and
they lost the joys of Gods salvation. The
humility thaH kept them away rested on
the basis that one wrong compels anoth-
er. The continued presence of those two
members was of far more value to Christ
and his Church than the twenty i've
cents week they had been paying
Their absence also involved SANDER on
the church. 1t could be justified only
uron the assumption that the relation of
church members to the church is one OF
money alone. There were in every mo-
ment of their absence a dozen of mem
bers who would have been happier and
better for the opportunity Of paying that
pew-rent for the sake Of the presence OF
two worthy members, and their presence
would have encouraged the pastor. 1t
would have been continuous testimony to
the world Of the preciousness Of the Chris
tian religion.-We Presbyterian.

Red Heyl'S Trial.

The trial of Red Heyl was continued yester-
day in the Criminal Court Max Chandler, the
bell boy at the Circle House, who saw Heyl on
the third floor at the time of the robbery, readily
identified the defendant as the party he. met on
the landing. Notwithstanding vigorous cross
examination, the boy made a good witness for the
State. Superintendent Lang described the means
by which Heyl entered Millers room County
Jaier Long corroborated the statement of Max
Chandler, that Heyl wore, the night of the
robbery, light suit, by identifying the light
coat which the prosecutor exhibited as the one
which Heyl wore when incarcerated in the jail
This goes to prove that Heyl traded suits with a
fellow prisoner in order to escape Identification.
1t now looks like the State has made good case
and that Heyl will be convicted.

Murphy Did Not Consult His Colleagues and
C0ttrell Wants Him Deposed

Yesterday there were evidences of another
eruption in the Police Board 1t seems that Mr.
Cottrell and Mr.. Morrison felt somewhat ag-
grieved at the arbitrary course pursued by
Chairman Murphy in promulgating the recent
Fourth of July edict without having consulted
them in the matter, each regarding the failure as
discourteous act Mr.. Cottrell was espe-
cially pronounced in his denunciation of the
presidents course, and went to the State officers
to make complaint. He said that Mr. Murphy
had seen fit to ignore the other members, and he
wanted advice as to the best course to pursue to
get even He suggested that if MIR. Morrison
would agree to resent the insult by combining
with him (Cottrell). deposing Mr.. Murphy from
the Craftsmanship and placing himself (Morrison)
at the head of the board, it would be n deserved
rebuke to MIR. Murphy, and this suggestion is
reported to have been favorably received by the
State officers. The proposition was submitted
to Mr.. Morrison and a meeting was called for
o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Central Sta
ton. For some reason the meeting was not
held, however, Mr. Cottrell being the
only member present at the hour
stated. From the fact that the two commits
sloners We're generally known to be offended, 1t
was expected that the meeting might be pro-
ductlve of decidedly sensational results, but as
1t was postponed until this evening the public
will have to await developments Mr. Morrison
stated last night, when interrogated by Jour
nal reporter, that he not in sympathy with
Mr.. Cottrells plan and would not lend himself to
any scheme to depose Mr.. Murphy. 1t Is be-
lieved that the State officers doing what
they can to bring about consummation of Mr..
Cottrell's little plan, and that they would then
