being genuine stone, but it is never.

Of piece of India rubber. When
taken in the hand and shaken in tue
direction of it's fat surface it would
bend back and forth with q dull,
mufled sound. The movement was
more Of a lag;ty in the adhesion ap-
parently than an elasticity. When
held horizontally by one end the
other would drop and remain in that
position. With the two ends sup.
ported on rests, the free center could
be pressed half an inch below the
middle line. With one end held
firmly on the other end could be bent
over an inch. The movement was
not confined to the one direction
in the plane of the fat surface--bnt
the entire stone seemed to be con.

A Just Sentence.


At the recent term Of Court in
Chesterfield two white men were
convicted Of carrying concealed wca-
pons, and were fined $50 each and
costs. This looks like tho juries over
there were disposed to do their duty.
As far as we can learn. only poor
white men and negroes are punish
ed for such offences over this way,
although some Of the most Intelligent
and prominent men in tho county are
Teportea rs being in the habit Of
carrying them. But it may be. as
some have already remarked, the
law was not made to effect gentle
men(?) It is only to punish the poor
and ignorant. If this is mistake !;
we would like some of our knowing
ones to cite al instance where pro-
mincnt white man has been punished
for tic cferse. Facts may be dis
puted by the guilty, bat they stand

How They Fought.

Not very long ago the Washington
Press made some sneering allusion to
the South Carolina mode of fighting.
Why the Press should SO continually
allude to South Carolina we cannot
imagine.
As it was stated that South Car.
olina left the bnlk of the fighting to
he done by other states. we will sub.
init some statistics lately brought to
our attention.
OF the twenty six Confederate re-
eiments which sustained the heaviest
losses in any engagement during the
late war, six were South Carolina
regiments. four were Georgia regi.
ments and four were from Tennessee,
three from Texas, Alabama and
North Carolina, two from Virginia
and one from Mississippi
OF the five regiments which sus-
tanned The heaviest loss, the First
Texas stands at the head of the liet,
with loss " per cent. at the Dattle
of Antietam; the Twenty first Geor.
gia takes the second place, with a loss
Of 76 per cent at the battle of Ma,
na, sas; the Eighth Tennessee stands
third, with Il loss Of GO per cent. at
Tie battle of Stone River. and the
Seven centh aud Twcntythicd South
Carolina stand respectively fourth
and fifth at the battle of Manassas
with loss of 81 and &C per cent.
The Eighth Tennessee went into
action All strong. and lost 3OG in
killed and wounded; the Seventeenth
South Carolina went into action with
2S4 strong, and lost lS9 killed and
wounded.
In tue light of these figures what
becomes ofthc sneer of the Washing.
ton Press!
