of Hardee's corps retreated with that corps
to North Carolina where junction was made
with Johnstons army. Their conduct during
that trying march ELECTED the warmest
praise from all who witnessed it and especi-
ally from their heroic brigade commander,
who said on one occasion: "When the dan

when the danger is in the rear put the ca

could have been paid them. In March,

informed that large parties of Federal cav.
airy were threatening the upper part of the
State, requested Gen. Johnston to send him
troops to protect the principal mountain
passes. Ia compliance with this request

pressly included II bias been stated on good
authority that when the cadets surrendered
"they were the only body of troops in arms

liant corps, which fred the first shotted gun
of the war, was probably the last command

COMMUNICATED,

Ex-Governor Thompson of South Carolina,
Gov. Thompson is graduate of the South
Carolina Military Academy, which ia located
in Charleston, and at the beginning CT the
war, he was professor in that institution
with the rank of captain. 1t was the hope
OF the people of the State that this institu-
ton in which thsy felt great pride, would
become after the war the West Point OF the
Southern Confederacy. Every effort there
fore was made to retain the officers in the
service ofthe State. Early in tbs war, at
the request of the State authorities, the
Confederate War Department accepted the
CORPS of cadets as part OF the Confederate
army, the officers though retaining their
State commissions, to take rank according
to the date of commissions with the Coined.
crate officers of the same grade with whom
they served. 1t WAS detachment OF cadets
who fred the first shotted gun of the war
upon the Star of the West" as she
was endeavoring to convey supplies
! to the garrison at Fort sumter on
the 9th OF January, 1861. The battery
manned By the cadets was an unfinished
earth work In easy range of Fort Sumpter.
| Had Major Anderson chosen to do 30, he
could have demolished this battery in few
moments. The conduct of the cadets on
this occasion showed the people OF South
Carolina aud of the Confederacy the value
OF this corps of trained artillerists and dis
cip!insd soldiers. Subsequently the cadets
| saw 10 active service until the beginning OF
the siege of Charleston in July, 1868. From
that time until the evacuation of Charles
ton. they were engaged in its defense.
Though pursuing their academic oganiza-
| ton. they discharged in Charleston and in
the surrounding islands, every duty required
| of soldiers, and received the wsrmest COM
mendations OF the different commanding
| Generate, especially of Generals Beauregard,
Sam Jones and Ripley. In the fall OF 1864
they were sent on the line of the Charleston
and Savannah r. R., then seriously threat
ened by the enemy. The preservation of
| this line of communication WAS indispensa-
BILE to the defense of Charleston
There, it is safe to say, the cadets
saw service as hard as that endured by SOL
diers during the war. While responding to
every call of duty, they were especially dis
lineuished ON two occasions, when by their
promptness and gallantry they prevented
the capture of the railroad In the face OF
largely superior forces of the enemy. Of one
of the engagements in which they took
prominent part, a distinguished writer
says: "Their conduct was such as to excite
the commentator of the veteran troops, by
whose side they fought, and to call forth the
approval of the commanding General.
When the line of the railroad was abandon.
ed In December 1864. the battalion was or.
dered to James's Island. near Charleston,
and assigned to the brigade commanded by
Cen. Stephen Elliott. This officer had
immortalized himself by his defense OF Fort
sumter, and by his conduct at the explo-
sion of the mine at Petersburg, he bsing in
command at that time in that part of the
lines at which the expl ,sion occurred. After

A LARGE number of white democrats
charged with viol alton OF the election law
were before the U. S. Commissioner at
Danvlle yesterday, but there being no EVIL
dsnce against them, all but two were dis
missed. The two referred to were sent on

which was that one had told voter The

that the other had said, "any man who
voted that ticket was no better than dog"
