II have not the slightest doubt that there
would have been very serious trouble at
Kearse's had our squad not arrived
promptly on the field. The news that aid
had been sought and was coming was soon
ditfused, and the negroes, if they at any
time had desperate intentions, have abau-
doned them. for the present at least. The
show of determination on the part of the
whites of the county has, it is thought by
all, had It's effect upon the negroes, and no
further trouble is anticipated"
WORK RESUMED.
The negroes have all returned to their
work. Eleven negroes ambushed several
young white men. but they have all left
the county of their own accord. The body
of Grant, the negro who was riddled with
bullets, was viewed by many of the negroes.
There is no excitement in the neighborhood
The colored women, who are generally the
most boisterous, talk quietly about
the conflict. If possible, the ambushers
will be arrested. Several white men were
wounded, but are getting along as we'll as
could be expected. Mr.. Kearse is probably
fatally wounded. Medical assistance from
Charleston has been telegraphed for the
wounded

at was near noon of the Goth Of May, 1864,
that our train came to stop, in a clearing of
the pine forest. We had been all expectation
for an hour or more, strainiug eager eyes to
catch some glimpse Of our stopping place. 1t
was here before us. Looking from our position
upon the railroad toward the southeast, at the
extreme end of the clearing, some 300 or 400
yards away. a cloud of smoke was curling up
ward from rectangular, substantial-loOking
pen. Upon inquiry we were told, That's
where you Yanks will put up!'
We bad little time for thought before q
round-shoudered, clustering little man upon
white horse rode the length Of the train and
with many a curse and oath ordered us all out.
During our exit from the close, cramped quar-
ters we had occupied so long fresh guard came,
in the widest confusion and unmilitary order,
from the direction of the smoke, and after much
clustering and eursing we were formed into
two lines, giving room for US to pass between,
four deep. After some more swearing the Off
Ger on the white horse placed himself at the
head Of the column and ordered us to march.
This was Wirz. our prison keeper, and unhap-
PLY our first introduction to him was not our
last Upon reaching the inclOsure we halted
while a part of our number were formed into a
detachment, and the remainder were ordered
to be placed upon the rolls of the oder detaCh-
ments already in the pen.
"I have hesitated thus far to pronounce the
word Andersonville We knew nothing, or had
heard nothing, of the place, so we had not a
moments notice of the life we were about to
enter upon. These many years after, the word
'AndersOnville' excites the same curiosity that
it did before we entered upon the months Of
suffering that cannot be told This then, was

As we passed within the doors were closed

The attempt 20 picture our mental depression

condition OF those who had entered before US,
would be futile.

As we were driven like sheep into the sspckade
they crowded about us, making inquiries faster

Con fusion IS 10 Divine GnIdanee.
lSan Francisco Argonar,lI

In the early days of Maine Methodism it was
the custom for young ministers to consult their
presiding elders before taking a wife. Once
during camp meeting in eastern Maine a
young minister approached the presiding elder
and said he wished to be married.
Whom do you propose TO marry?" asked
the elder.
well" said the young man. "the Lord has
made known TO me very clearly that should
marry sister Mary Turner"
II know her we'll, said the elder; she is a
fine girl. / will see you again before the meet
ing closes"
. During the week four other young ministers
consulted the presiding elder on the subject OF
marriage. Each of them gave the name of the
young woman 10 whom he proposed to offer
himself They had all prayed over the matter
o great deal, and each was certain that 10 was
the Lords desire that he should marry the
person named. Neither of the five young men
knew that anyone else had consulted the elder
ON that subject. On the last day of the camp
meeting at noon, the elder called the FIVE
young ministers to his tent to receive his
opinion. He said
Now, brethren, il may be the will of God
for you TO marry but it is not Ills will that FIVE
Methodist ministers should marry little Mary

only explanation for this phenomenon is the
presence of sui phnr in the diamondiferous soil.
Another indication is the presence of iron
stones. i might 90 on indefinitely, but as l
intend to give you geological lecture on the
formation Of the kimberley mine, l must cry
quits and change my subject.
Tho soil formerly covering the Kimberley
mine, which has an average depth of six feet,
Is bright red ferruginous sand, composed of
fnc grains of quartz. Next is found layer of
calCareOus tuft, and then follows a layer of
lamnated trap or blue whn, which varies in
thickness. A very even layer of light 5haleS,
% feet thick on an average and very soapy to
the tOuch, comes next These shales are of va
rious colors, such as pale blush white, yellow,
gray. olive, etc. In these shales many fossils
have been found, some of which are beautifully
preserved. Beneath these we have a vast layer
OF blacklsh Carbonifsrous shale, scanned with
iron. IL is curious fact that when these shales
have been exposed to the weather for some
time, and the rain water penetrates to any dis
tance, the pyritcs become dccomposed which
causes such rapid combustion that the shaIe
becomes redhot. Tho sulpLurous acid gas
evolved from this combustion rises during the
night. forming a strange sight. As miner
remarked to me; We're getting down close
tu the Old Nick? DO yon smell himP" The
smell certainly reminded one of FIRE and brim-
stone, aud / was informed that Dutch farm
ers on being told this tale fastened away, pale
with fright. The rock Immediately under tho
back shalo IS a light-gFay volcanic rock about
three feet thick. This strata is freely studded
with agates, jasper. etc, Of all sizes. Next
comes hornhlcndic rock of deeper gray, and
then basaltic trap.
will now produce rough sketch of the
transverse section of the Kimberley mine,
which may give you some idea as 10 the geo.
logical distribution of the various stratas.
