The fact that Congressman James J. Beden Of

McCrady's History.

General McCrady has just issued the first
volume Of his History of South Carolina.
Our daily exchanges inform us that the book
includes the History of South Carolina under
the Proprietary Government which ended
In 1719. This book has given perfect satisfac.
ton. and is being written Of In the most graf
flying manner. The General had plain sail
ing away back yonder, where all the actors
are dead.
The brethren OF the press are now trying to
lure him on to writing other volumes. and
perhaps to bring the history down to the
present time. Gen. McCrady may write his
tory covering another period OF about q hun
dred years, with perfect impunity, but let
him, II he dares. undertake to write history
Of Notification, the cause of the war, and
give detailed accounts OF the historic events
during that struggle, and on down TO the
present time.
If he touches on these things, and doesn't
bring about bis head such a storm as to make
him wish that he had not been born, we are
greatly mistaken.
It's a great thing to write the history OF
ones country, but the wise historian will stop
before he gets down to the dates and things to
which there are SO many living witnesses.
If Solomon had been with US, and took an
active part in politics before the war, and had
fought the country's battles at the front Of the
contending hosts, he would not now write a
history Of those times. If he did SO, he would
lose his splendid reputation.
This generation must pass away before any
accepted history Of Slavery and the Rebel
lion can be written. There are now too many
living witnesses.
