Captain Samuel E. White, Of Fort
Mill, received, a few days ago from Ma
jor John Poindexter, Of Canton, Mis-
sissippi, an interesting souvenir that
he values very highly. It is a small
brass staple that Major Poindexter re-
Gently pulled from the wreck OF the
Star of the West" now lying In the
Yazoo river, near its mouth. The star
Of the West" will be remembered as
the vessel which attempted to provis-
ion Fort Sumter and which the Citadel
cadets helped drive away. In 1862 1t
was a part of the Federal fleet that
ascended the Mississippi river, and was
destroyed by the Confederates near
Vicksburg. A rotten hulk Is all that
now remains of 1t. The brass staple
received by Captain White Is only
about one-eighth Of an inch In thick
ness at the bend, and the prongs are
each an inch and half in length.
Captain White will no doubt have 1t
mounted in some way suitable for Its
proper preservation.
