| WEEP NOT FOR rAfLEY.-Ibe CoIumuIt
Rcyi.ter is still harpiDg on "the gallant Hugh
l.. Farley" and INDUCED yesterday in the
following outburst Of hysterical sentiment :
"The State is full Of men of military
experience who have gone through tho
| whole war. Many Of them occupy promi-
nenr positions in tho militia which they have
been helping % keep up for years. Among
them the prcscnt Adjutant General can be
numbercd. No matter how promising he
may be, j, it not an outrage to put boy Il
years # age, who has never rendered any
services to the State whatever, in the militia
or out of t. except rs beneficiary of the Git
nlcl Academy, over veterans OF the m'litts
and army
If public sentiment in South Carolina had
rctured to its normal condition and IL other
things were equal, wo should say that II
would be can outrage to put boy II years
OF uge over veterans Of the militia and
army" but we have high authority for say
ing that gratitude doe. not prompt "busi
ness based ON Kindness and charity" and it
will bo ontiroly in keeping with the policy

years Of age, who had rendered no service
to tho State in war and mono in pence, save
the service of dividing the white people o

veterans, Watc Hampton. Nor would the
elevation Of young Dixon over the grizzled
nnd battlcscarred Farley he half so much OF
an outrage ~ was the elevation of Is. X
