probable that the whole bunch will
stretch hemp, if they are caught.
The Charleston authorities are main
tanning strict vigilance in the su-
burbs for the suspects, and if caught,
they will be turned over to the Col
Teton County authorities.
The negroes in the bottom lands
in the suburbs of the city do not take
kindly to the search for the suspected
negroes of the Ravenel tragedy and
they are behaving ugly. Capt. Mar
tin is, however, the wrong man for
them to run up against, as they have
found out in the prompt dispatch of
the posse today to the phosphate
settlement. His instructions were
positive and the deputies have gone
prepared to preserve the peace and
do their full duty.

Havoc.
THE State, 17th.

The Chattanooga Times a few
days ago contained the following:
"The recent storms have caused
much damage to the handsome South

sists of huge bronze palmetto tree
on marble base. The winds
and storms have stripped the
bronze leaves and broken off three
limbs of the tree. Part of the brouze
is lying on the ground by the mon
ument, while the rest of it has evil
deutly been carried away. The mar
bic esplanade around the monument
has also been cracked and seriously
damaged. Unless repairs are made
at once the handsome monument
erected only short time ago will be
ruined"
The Governors attention has been
called to the matter, and has taken
it up with Gen. Walker and other

SKETCHES OF HOSPITAL LIFE.

| I wish 1 was competent to write of
the kind ladies of Charlottesville, but
I feel that I am incompetent to do
them justice. I will speak of them
any way. There was Miss Carrie
Randolph, Miss Lizzie Davis, two
Misses Bosses, Misses Bailey, Miss
Susie Brown, Mrs. Alexander, Miss
Lucy Jones and Mrs Montgomery,
of Baltimore All these ministered to
our wants day by day, bringing US
from their own homes, eggs, chick
ems, Strawberries and other delicacies.
There were other ladies whose sweet
faces remember but whose names
have forgotten, who read to us,
| wrote letters home for US, looked
| after our beds being kept in order,
&c. I can only say, God bless them
for their kindness to the poor sol
diers. Then the little girls would come
| in and sing for US. Then our grand
corpse of physicians. How we'll DO
/ remember their kind faces. How
kind and attentive they were to US,
doing all in their power for our wei
fare. DR.. 1. L. Cabel, physician in
charge; DR.. ]. S. Davis, division sur
geon; DR.. Bronaugh, our ward sur
geon. Drs. Davis, Cabel and Bron-
augh have long ago passed over the
river, but DR.. Haws is now noted
physician living at 745 Lexington
avenue N. Y. Then we had jolly
set in the ward. We had only two
officers in our ward. Lieut.. Camp
bell, now treasurer of Richland coun-
ty, since dead, and a handsome lieu
tenant from Charleston. Then what
set of boys we had with us. Many
died, but as | was swung up to the
ioist for weeks, they would gather
around my bed and how we would
enjoy our pipes and talk. DR.. Bird,
of Clinton, died by my side, Thorn.
ton, of Georgia, shot through the
bowels, lived for weeks but finally
passed over the river. An IrishmaD,
just in front of me, shot through the
lungs, soon recovered. What fun we
had with a member of the 37th Va.
Battalion for complaining so much
over a slight wound in the hand. l
arrived home in October, and in Feb
ruary, 1855, was sent papers to be
put on the retired list. I had to 60
to Columbia to be examined, the
| doctors refused to retire me, but
tried to keep me in Columbia. I re-
fused to stay and got Captain of
the 9Th regiment to get my papers.
The railroad had washed away and |
left Columbia just few days before
Sherman arrived, on Mr.. Wade Har-
mons wagon. Just before we left the
main road to Prosperity two citizens
of Newberry passed US in carriage
and I asked for ride with them to
Prosperity. They refused. was
left at very wealthy mans house by
Mr.. Harmon few miles below
Prosperity. [ was sent to him by his
two sons in Columbia. He refused
to send me to Prosperity and would
not let me spend the night and |
had to walk on crutches several
miles to Prosperity. A few days
later this mans house was burned
by the yankees and did not shed
tear over it. At Prosperity I was
taken in by Rev. Bailey, my wound
was dressed, and was given nice
supper and that night placed on the
train and sent to Newberry and my
trouble was over.

Men Sleeping in the CITY OF Tents
12,O90 breakfast at One Time
Opening Exercises.

Confederate reunion officially II
hours old and unoficially considera-
bly, older, it is estimated that there
are 125,0O0 visitors in Dallas. From
early this morning until late tonight
the streets were thronged, as it is
said by men in a position to base
close calculations that there were 30,
900 visitors at the camp in the fair
grounds alone.
The crowd is too large TO COM
mand', said Col. Slaughter to an AS
sociated Press representative today.
"Thousanos who have no right to do
SO are sleeping at the camp and eat
ing at the stables. Some of the old
veterans had to fight for their places,
but they seemed to be as capable of
tussle as they we're years ago. We
will have affairs better in hand to-
morrow"
An additional influx of visitors
is expected tomorrow, the attraction
being the Kaliphs parade.
Tonight the. younger element and
many of the veterans rounded out
the days pleasure with q ball at the
camp. The function was given by
the Sons of Veterans and an i'm
mense crowd-too great for comfort
were present.
While thousands of visitors did
not leave the business section of the
city, Camp Johnston, two miles dis
tant, where the opening exercises
were held, was crowded to the limit.
Delegation after delegation from the
four corners of the country reported
snd were assigned to their divisions
in the vast city of tents.
The great mess shed, seating II,
900, was opened at 10 o'clock. An
army Of cooks and walters worked
like beavers, while the veterans, with
hunger born of anight in the oPen'
did their best in an able manner to
keep the cooks busy.
DIDN'T WAIT FOR COMMANDER.
The convention was compelled to
open with Gen. Gordon, the COM
mander in chief absent.
Hon. John NJ. Allen, the orator
of the day, was not present when
the convention began. Gov. Say
ers and the Hon G.. B. Gerald, how
ever appeared at the last moment
and were vociferously cheered.
Among those on the stage were
Judge John H. Reagan, the only
surviving member of the Davis
cabinet; W. L. Cabell; Gen. Steph
en- D. Lee, a cousin of R. E. Lee;
Gov. Heard, of louisiana; Mayor
Capdeville of New Orleans; Col. Lee
Crandsll, who was on "StoneWall
Jackson's staff Miss Lucy Lee Hill
Of Chicago, the spencer in chief, and
Miss Virginia Paddock of Fort
Worth, Tex, the chief maid of hon.
or.
When the convention opened the
veterans, mauy of them comparing
the bounteous plenty of heir break
fasts with the starvation they were
often called upon to endure during
the war, were in high good humor.
The building seating about 5000
people, was filed to the topmost row,
soon after the convention was called
to order by Gen. K. NJ Van zandt'
president of the Texas Reunion as
sociation. From pillar to post hung
bunting and flags and pictures OF

THE OBJECT WAS ROBBERY.

Ihe 0Olect or the muroeI was
clearly robbery. Mr.. Jones the Sec
tion master, had been paid off only a
few days. After the crime the trunks
10 the house were found broken open
and the robbers left with a pistol,
razor and gold watch and chain.
DR.. J. 7. Taylor in his testimony,
declared that Mrs. Jones was not as
saulted. It is thought that Jim
Black, 8 notorious negro in this COM
munity, is the murderer and that
Ford knows something of the crime.
One witness today testified that he
saw Jim Black near the scene of the
murder, hurrying through the woods
with a pistol. Deputy Sheriff Ar
nett and the citizens of the commu-
nifty will leave nothing undone to
capture the guilty parties.
ON ANNIVERSARY OF MARRIAGE.
MFR. ana Mrs. Jones were married
one year ago yesterday, and before
the former started to his work i'll the
morning, he gave his wife the gold

and is almost distracted with grief

CAIN FORD ARRESTED.

Cain Ford, colored was arrested
last night on suspicion of completely
in the murder of Mrs, Jones and was
today brought before Magistrate
Behling. Never have the people IN
this section been more aroused than
they were today. About $50 per-
sons were present at the coroner's
inquest over the remains of the dead
woman and several tim9s it seemed
that the negro would be taken from
the officers and lynched, but cooler
heads prevented this, and Deputy
Sheriff Arnett was allowed to, carry
the prisoner to jail at Walterboro.
If the testimony against Ford had
been at all positive he would have
been swung to limb in very few
minutes.
