Col. Jno. B. Davis Of Killiaas. Being
72 years Of age and quite infrm, be
wss compelled to give up the Office,
although he loves the regiment well,
and will still hold allegiance.
At the outbreak of the war between

Company I, First regiment South
Carolina volunteers, Col. Grsgg. This
regiment enlisted for six months,
State service, and remained around
Charleston until the fall of Sumter
and then went to Virginia to serve
ovt the balance of the six months. At
the end Of that time the regiment " as
disbanaed. Capt. Davis then, in three
weeks, raised a company for the
Fifteenth South Carolina, Col. De-
Saussure, assigned to Drayton's bri-
gade. This brigade wss engaged at
Booresbsro and Sharpsburg under
Gen. Drayton, and was then trans
ferred 70 Kershsw's brigade. Pickett's
charge was no more glorious than that
of Ksrshaw at Snodgrass Hill, Chicka-
msuga. In that bsttle Capt. Dsvis
distinguished himself for gallantry.
Assin At Knoxville his bravery was
conspicuous, and Gen. Kershaw made
him colouel OF the regiment, pro.
noting him oyer the lieutenant co lionel
and major, "for valor and skill on the
battlefield
Col. Davis is West Pointer, and
this training added efficiency to his
gsllsntry and courage. But the in

and he thought it best to leave the

he made fourteen bales of cotton,

farming. It demonstrates that the
white people Of this country eau, by
perseverance and industry, make
farming remanerative. In my opinion
those who can, like Mr.. Taylor, make
the greatest yield with the least e1-
