CHAPTER ii.
AN HEROIC DEED.

The British infantry were not at all dis
couraged by the second repulse of the
cavalry. Indeed, it was known by all
parties that the conflict was an utterly un
equal one, and must eventually end in the
retreat of the small Wing force before the
British army. 1t was matter of enraged
surprise on one side and wondering exul-
tation on the other that the conflict had
been maintained so long and with such
unexpected results. The English infan-
try determined to decide the battle, which
was so humiliating to them, and made
another forward rush on Graham's men on
the right. These again gave way after
fighting bravely; and Davie at the court
house, found that he was being hanked, a
condition of which good soldier never
permits if he can help 1t. Therefore,
above the rattle of musketry was heard a
shrill bugle sounding "retreat."
But retreat did not mean flight. 1t was
only hasty rush of all the dismounted
men for their horses, while those who mad
no mount followed more slowly, keeping
the enemy in check. Burton, Angus and
George Graham found both their horses
and young Zach Wilson equally impatient.
The latter had been chatting at the inact-
i've duty assigned to him, but had been
faithful to his duty in spite of the excit-
ing and terrible sounds of battle. He was
speedily delighted to find that Davie and
Graham were preparing for another con-
hict rather than for a hasty retirement. A
line was formed on high ground in partial
shelter east of the village. The dismount-
ed Wings we're allowed to pass through
and seek cover in the forests beyond, from
which they made their way to their homes,
or to some place of shelter and conceal
ment. Their comrades now that they
we're in the saddle, felt redoubled conf
dence in awaiting another attack from the
enemy. 1t soon came. CORVALLIS him
self rode up to his twice defeated cavalry,
and while he chided them, he also inspired
by reminding them of the reputation won
on other fields. Again they advanced to
the charge, but in this instance kept
abreast of the still advancing infantry.
Davies and Graham's men coolly sat still
on their horses until the command "Firew
ran down the line. Again the bullets sped
like scorching, whitening flame, and the
whole British line was thrown into con-
fusion, which might have easily been de-
veloped into a rout were il not for the
heavy supports which were now coming
up.

SPIRIT IN THE SENATE

bhltllnore sun.
The partisan spirit shown so constant
ly by the republican majority of the SEN
ate cropped out again in the rejection of
Mr.. Goode as solicitor-general. If this;
act stood alone some Importance might
be attached to it as an honest exercise of
the power vested in the senate. But
coupled as it is with line of conduct,
showing the greatest animosity towards
the executive in the matter of appoint
ments, it will be regarded, as it deserves
to be, ais an uncalled-for reflection upon
an intelligent and worthy gentleman,
whose substantial offense is not his con-
nection with Attorney. General Garland,
but his services to the democratic party.
Thers is strong reason to believe that GER
tain vindictive spirits in that exalted body
remember with resentment the fate Of
VIM. L. Chandler when he was nominated
for the same Office by President Garfield
in 1881. So reckless had his course been
in politics, and notably during the period
of the electoral count, by which Hayes was
created "throned and sceptered fraud"
that the democratic party would have been
false to every profession of political re-
form if 1t had overlooked his perform
ances during that period. Mr.. Chandler
was therefore turned down, as he ought to
have been, not because he was an offensive,
partisan in the sense Of an active worker,
bnt because he was one among those Bit
ter and uscrupulous partisans who had
been largely instrumental in defeating the
expressed will of the pc ople in presiden-
tial election. Mr.. Goodies case was
wholly different, and although the oft-re-
peated charges against him may sooth the
consciences of those who have been guilty
of grave wrong to his reputation, il will
surely return to plague those who have
had hand in it. Really the dainty sensi-
bilities of these republican senators is
something amazing. We read that ora

both engaged in, the Virginia senator saw

ate who has figured more barbed and

The News and Courier, in speaking
of the passage of the Blair bill by the
Senate. says:
"This will be gratifying news to the
thoughtful people of. the entire coun-

1t is to be inferred, therefore, that
those who are opposed to the Blair bill,
including Senators Butler, Cockrell,
Coke, Maxey, Harris and Representa-
tives Aiken, Tillman and Dargan, are
not "thoughtful" people. 1t strikes us
that if our esteemed cotempoary were
more "thoughtful" himself, he would

An Unknown SnDp,

We seem to have been steered against
an unknown snag, by an unknown per-
son and in an unknown way. In the
last number of THE ORANGEBURG
TIMES AND DEMOCRAT there is string
of questions in the shape Of a COM
munication signed "Paysan." AS well
as we can understand these questions,
they are intended to show that every
body in this State except the interlocu-
tor is profoundly ignorant of the tariff.
TO our great establishment and be:
wilderment we find the last two to be-
"Can level headed brother Williams
Of the Greenville News define free
trade?
"Does level headed brother Will
liams of the Greenville News know
that when seventy staunch free traders
tackle the average Congressman they
are not tacllling very big potato?'
We do not know what we have done
to "Paysan;" neither do we understand
the why or whereof of his illusions to
the editor Of the News, or exactly the
meaning Of the adjective-supposed to
be descriptive-applied to that in
dividual. But we suppose he wants
answers, and therefore venture:
Question 1.-Yes.
Question 2.-Depends good deal on
who the seventy staunch free traders
are; likewise on what an average Con-
gresham is. We should think any
seventy staunch free traders could 90
down into the black district and tackle
Smalls very successfully and credi-
tably.-Greenville News.

Yours truly,

We have no idea who wrote the above
letter, but we hardly think that the
members of the Agricultural Society
will bear out the assertion it contains
that "the reported discussion that en-
sued is an unreliable and feeble version
of the sentiments expressed" Our re-
porter tried to report the meeting as
fully as the space at his command
would permit, and that he did his duty
fairly and truthfully, we have no doubt.
Our columns are open to this CORES
pondent to show wherein "the report
ed discussion that ensued is an unrelia-
BILE and feeble version of the sentiments
expressed" The action of the Society
may not have been what this CORES
pondent desired, but the cold facts are
that it did exactly what is reported
above, and this correspondent or no
one else cannot deny it or disprove it.

from the faithful agent. Mr.. G. Gavin.
The cars make much better time than
formerly. No stopping at stations and
fooling on the way, to detain the way

'Orangeburg in about two hours. Great
improvement! Upon descending from
the cars heard the cry: Edisto House?
Orangeburg Hotel? "What is the
fare?" Nothing, sir; get in, sir, said the
cabman. Improvement again, thought
I. Entered the cab, enjoyed a free ride
up to the Orangeburg Hotel, kept by

ter of Uncle Billy Dukes; and, in brief,
l may say that whoever stops here will
soon be convinced by the good living
that there is improvement in the hotel

to get the advantage of somebody, but
to help me to do unto others as would

ed to put new life in the attorney, and
we went to work in earnest, searching
for papers, &c. And, as always, when
men 60 to work in the fear of God,
found our records and some money
where we did not expect it.
Repaired to the Office Of Judge Pro-
bate Izlar, satisfied his mind and
was delighted to meet his venerable
father, the friend Of my own father of
former years.
Made a short visit to the grave of my
father and brother, across the street
from the Court House, in rear, of the
church, and oh! how memories of boy
hood days crowded upon my mind and
heart.
"Yet there Is mercy in every place,
And mercy's encouraging thought
Gives even afiiction grace,
And reconciles man to his lot."
It was cheering comfort as I Wend-
ed my way from this mournful spot to
meet, at every step, the descendants of
my fathers contemporaries, and the
bosom friends of my brother. Here
were the Salleys, McMicheals, Izlars,
Dantzlers, Glovers, Dibbles, Andrews,

DEAR SIR:-Your favor of I'd is at

Gen. Lees College being what I most
desired to read. On receipt of your
previous letter, I promptly visited
some of our leading planters, Several
of whom heard your speech at Bennett
ville( and after a careful review of all
your published articles, taken in con-
junction with that speech, we were
forced to the conclusion that your po-
sition was in antagonism with the en-
tire State Administration and could
not be endorsed by a conservative
spirit. Under these circumstances we
decided to lay the matter before our
Agricultural Society without comment
and the reported discussion that ensued
is an unreliable and feeble version of
the sentiments expressed. The fact
was plainly developed that such a COL
lege was earnestly desired, but many
like myself were skeptical of the plan
by which it was to be secured. Since
our meeting the sentiment of the mass
of producers outside Of the society has
