Speaking of the arrival of the First
South Carolina Regiment of Volun-
teers at Chickamauga Park, the Chat
tanooga Times says: "Whatever this
regiment may have lacked in the way
of equipment, they made up for in dis
cipline, which was far better than that
of any volunteer regiment now at the
park. Their manner of leaving the
train and receiving coffee reminded
one of the regulars, and it is SAID that
if not better than the regulars. The
conn panies act like parts of machine,
responding readily and easily to every
command.

Prof. F. n. X. Bailey has been in our
town for several days and has made a
most favorable impression, in fact our
people are delighted with him. He
impresses one with the conviction that
he is Christian gentleman first, and
after that, that he is born hustler, a
school builder, and town builder.
Shall we hold up his hands? Yes, as
high as the sky! Next week or later
we shall enter more into details as to
the South Carolina Co-Educational
Institute, now located at Edgefield,
and of Prof. Bailey's personally and
lineage. We knew. his father and
mother for twenty-five years, aud
know that they were of the noblest and
best of Gods creation.
