BATTLE OF DIHGLE'S Mill.
The Official Report Which Has Never
Before Been Published.

The following official report of the
battle of Dingle's Mill has never been
published before. The report is in
the hand writing of the late Col.
George W. Lee, Col. of the Goth Regi-
ment of So Ca. Militia who was iu
command at Dingle's Mill until the
arrival of Col. Caldwell, the ranking
officer. The report will be interesting
to many of our citizens:
Sumter S. c., 81 April, 1865.
Genl. A. G. Darlington.
Adjt. & Insp. Genl.
The Goth Regt., S. C. M. which was
ordered into active service, on 4th
inst, was by consent of the Governor
furloughed until 11th inst. On the
7th it was ascertained that the enemy
were advancing from Georgetown on
the south side of Black River and or
ders were issued for the Regiment to
rendezvous Immediately at Sumter.
On the evening of 9Th, the enemy en-
tered the town of Manning and during
the night repaired and crossed over
the bridges on Pocotaligo at Manning
which had been destroyed by the Clar-
endon Militia under Col. Connors. On
the 9th they advanced rapidly on the
town of Sumter by the way leading by
Dingle's Mill.
There was no organized Confederate
force in this section of the State; but
as soon as the advance Of the enemy
was known preparations were made to
make all the resistance practicable.
Col ]. F. Pressly of the Confederate
army had collected about one hundred
men, furloughed soldiers and 9th
ers, and was following the enemy up
Black River, and destroying the bridges
so as to prevent them from crossing,
and the militia of Clarendon were re-
treating, in small force, before the
enemy.
By the exertions of Capt. Cullum
three detachments were organized
from furloughed soldiers and conva-
lescents, one under 1t. W. A. Nc
Queen and one under 1t. Pampera
and one under E. E. Durham to man
three pieces of field artillery which
were at Sumter, and small company
of convalescents from the hospital
were organized under 1t. McGregor as
Infantry.
Capt. A. Colclough who was the en-
rolling officer at Camden arrived at
Sumter with company of 100 men,
convalescents and light duty men on
the night of Sth.
1t. Col. Thomas R. Brown of the
reserves had collected small portion
of his Battalion about so men and
armed them for service. On the even
ing of Sth Col Caldwell of 9th Ken
tucky Mounted Infantry arrived at
Sumter from Nelson s Ferry on Santee.
His command numbered about 120
effective men. Col. Calwell being the
senior officer assumed the command.
Our forces were as follows. viz.

"UncIe Josh SDruceby,"


The Reading, Pa, Daily ReoieD
has the following to say nbout the
Uncle Josh Spruceby' company
which comes to Oakland Opera House
for one night only Saturday, Noyem-
Der 10th:
A treat was in store for those who
attended the performance of Uncle
Josh Spruceby'' last night, for instead
of seeing an old worn out play Uncle
Josh Spruceby" proved to be one of
the most pleasing rural comedy
dramas that has visited Reading in
many a day. Both the production
and the company presenting it are
far above the average and Judging
from the continued applause the play
certainly gave entire satisfaction.
The piece is staged with every atten-
tion to detail, the saw mill scene in
the third act being particularly re-
ahstic and the thrilling climax was
Several clever specialties were intro
duced during the first and second
acts and were of a high order. The
orchestra with this company is fine
one and their music is of the highest
class. Uncle JOSH is an unusually
pleasing performance, bright, brim
full of roaring comedy and thrilling
situations.
The parade, rs advertised, will not
take place OH account of the late ar
rival of the company.

WHEREAS, The President of the

quired by statute, in many instances
placing the party designation as TO be
very confusing, to-wit, nominee of
the Republican party" and remov-
ing it far away from the square in
which the voters mark is placed and
putting it hard by and close up to
the names of the candidates. Then,
again, ballots were printed in type
in which no capitals were used, not
even for names of the candidates or
of party, and style of type dissimilar
from that in ordinary use-in fact,
some of it has not been used in many
decades.
Sixth. The premeditated disfgure-
ment of the ballot by those who had
charge of printing them, and in at
least one county placed opposite the
name of the Prohibition candidate
the party appellation Republican, -
for the distinct purpose of confusing
the voter and having two Republican
candidates under one group for the
office of Comptroller of the Treasury,
and which, should both Republicans
be marked, would nullify the ballot
Seventh. After the closing Of the
polls the systematic and premeditated
manner of the Democratic judges in
throwing out all ballots that had any
marks on them when they themselves
had delivered them to the voter, and
which character of votes so rejected
and thrown out amounted to more
than 10000. as above stated, and
which resulted in the counting out of
over % to 30 Republican members of
the General Assembly and the count
ing in of many Democrats whom the
voters of Maryland had defeated at
the polls. A more gigantic steal than
this, open and barefaced, has never
been known in the annals of political
history
The Republican party promises the
people of Maryland that this matter
is not ended, and we shall follow the
perpetrators of these criminal acts
through the courts until they shall
have been punished.
The Republican party in Maryland
is stronger and more determined this
hour than ever in its existence, and
from now on it will strive to restore
to the citizens of this State the price
less heritage of manhood suffrage.

ESAU BUCK AND THE BUCKSAW.


The Bucksaw, the Seesaw and the Buck
That Saw Esau Saw-A Weird Tale.
An old farmer of Arkansas whose
sons had all grown up and left him
hired a young man by the name of
Esau Buck to help him on his farm,
says the Hartford Times. On the
evening of the first day they hauled
up small load of poles for wood and
unloaded them between the garden
and the barnyard.
The next morning the old man said
to the hired man: "Esau, l am going
to town today and while | am gone
you may saw up that wood and keep
the old ram out of the garden
When the old man had gone Esau
went out to saw the wood, but when
he saw the saw he wouldn't saw it.
When Esau saw the saw he saw that
he couldn't saw it with that saw.
Esau looked around for another saw,
but that was the only saw he saw, SO
he didn't saw it. When the old man
came home he said to Esau: "Esau,
did you saw the wood - Esau said:
81 saw the wood, but | wouldn't saw
it; for when | saw the saw | saw that
| couldn't saw with that saw, so |
didn't saw it." The old man went
out to see the saw and when he saw
the saw he saw that Esau couldn' t
saw with that saw. When Esau saw
that the old man saw that he couldn't
saw with the saw Esau picked up the
AK and chopped up the wood and
made seesaw. The next day the old
man went to town and bought new
bucksaw for Esau Buck, and when he
came home he hung the bucksaw for
Esau on the sawbuck by the seesaw.
Just at this time Esau Buck saw the
old buck in the garden eating cab
bage, and when driving him from the
garden to the barnyard Esau Buck
saw the bucksaw on the sawbuck by
the seesaw, and Esau stopped to ex-
anime the new bucksaw. Nov, when
the old buck saw Esau Buck 10, Sing
at the new bucksaw on the sawbu, Is
by the seesaw, he made dive TO.
Esau, missed Esau, hit the seesaw,
knocked the ssesaw against Esau
Buck, who fell on the bucksaw on the
sawbuck by the seesaw. Now, when
the old man saw the old buck dive at
Esau Buck and miss Esau and hit the
seesaw and knock the seesaw against
Esau and Esau Buck fall on the buck
saw on the sawbuck by the seesaw, he
picked up the ak to kill the old buck,
but the buck saw him coming and
lodged the blow and countered on
the old mans stomach, knocked the
old man over the seesaw onto Esau
Buck, who was getting up with the
bucksaw off the sawbuck by the see
saw, crippled Esau Buck, broke the
bucksaw and sawbuck and seesaw.
Now, when the old buck saw the
completeness of his victory oyer the
old man and Esau Buck and the
bucksaw and the seesaw, he quietly
turned around, went back and Jump
ed into the garden again and ate up
what was left of the old mans cab
bages.
