Hattie.

Hattie.
Thirty years ago last Monday, July 10th
1851, the Confederate gOvernptent was or
ganizcd at Richmond with Jefferson Davi
as President. On the day following tn
first pitched battle Of the war was fought
1st Manassas two great sections Of tb
United States met with n clash of arms ant
began struggle that was destined to muk
the world stand aghast The North learn
ed on that day that the South mcnt bust
| ness, and instead of reaching Richmond il
one days march, as had been predicted
| they were to learn that il was four years
| journey over u very rough road.
On that July morning, thirty years ago
as the revilhe aroused the soldiers from
their slumbers each and every one felt the
| hour had arrived when their metal woult
be tried, and all were determined that the,
would not be found wanting. In that bat
tie two hundred and fifty of tho flower OF
the youth of Pickens county took part, and
right well did they acquit themselves and
for the next four years they did more thar
their share of hard fighting. AS one old
soldier remarked: "Whcn we went out We
were afraid the General would keep us in
the back ground because we were from the
mountains, but before VIC got to AppOmat-
tOx we found that the mountain boys al
ways got front seat when hard fighting
was to bc done" AS far as we have been
able to learn there was only one soldier
from this county killed on the field that
day, William Young. Of EaSlcy township.
Elisha Ferguson of Co. l ilh rcgimcHt was
fatally wounded. The volunteers from
this county belonged to Co. IL 4,h regiment
Capt Il. Y. ii. Griffin, and Co. 4tl rcgi-
mcnt, Capt. Wylic nollingsworth, and Co.
ID, Hampton Legion, Capt ii. j. Smith,
OF Anderson county. The names Of those
who took part in that engagement and still
live in this county are given below and
also the names of those who surrendered at
hppoma,tox. We hope that at no distant
day these vets will meet and organize an
association and make record of the part
they took in the war for Southern Indc.
