bers to the command of armies the officers
Of the corps were charged with important
labors in connection with the defenscs of

the reconnaissance of positions held by the
enemy; the investment of cities and towns

roads; the construction of offensive and
defensive Notifications necessary to the

The Importance of retaining III the field
as many as possible of these experienced
organizations was evident.
40 effect this scheme was prepared
and submitted BY me for the reen!iStment
of three-years men still in service, having
less than one year longer to serve, and of
men enlisted for nine months or less, who
had less than three months to serve.
This plan was not carried into effect
until late in the Autumn of 1858. when the
great campaigns of that year had closed,
and the troops. resting from their labors
and looking forward to Il season of COM
parative inactivity, were most anxious to
visit their homes. That privilege was
guaranteed to them by your General Or

SIGNAL SERVICE.
This valuable adjunct to the army was
composed in 1863 of 102 officers. GO acting
officers. ST non-commisisoned officers,
and 1.266 privates, with labors extending
to the use of the portable field telegraph
fines, aerial telegraph and telescope re-
connoissancc. In some departments the

Ter, guide aid, and secret-service duties.
1t was particularly valuable in observ-

| branches of the service to act as Il unit.
| OftentimeS the services were of vital i'm

could not have been had otherwise, nota-
! bly,. as referred to by Gen. Sherman, as
follows:
when the enemy had cut our wires and
actually made lodgment on orr railroad
about Big Shanty, the Signal Officers on
| Winnings Hill. Kenesaw, and Ailatoona sent
my orders to Gen. Corsc at Rome, where
by Gen. Corsc was enabled to reach Al

A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.
Baxter Mclean Has a Close Call for
His Life.

Messrs. Allen Freeman, John Stone,
will Nicely and Baxter Mclean lett Co
lumbia Monday morning to spend three
or four days camping on the river.
A bout noon they crossed the river ear
the mouth Big Bigby, about three
mi es below Williamsport. and soon af-
ter they reached the bank, Mclean
reached for his rifle to shoot at bird.
In some unknown manner the gun was
discharged and the bullet struck him
on tho left idc of the meek, passing ell
tirely through. AS his companions
could not tell the extent of his injuries
they hurriedly took him to Williams
port, and found Dr.. l.. E Ragsdale, who
examined the wound and found that
the ball had missed the main arteries
and vein of the neck by bare fraction
of an inch. The young man was then
brought here and taken to his home on
18th street, where DR.. j. & Williamson
has been attending him. The wound is
not thought to be serious and Mr.. Nc
Lean will be out in few days, after an
exceedingly narrow escape.

Carry Your Cross With Him

There are wrongs that cannot be
righted
There are crosses that must be borne
There are duties that cannot be slig hi ted,
There are thorn crowns that must be
worn.
There are griefs that cannot find COM
fort,
Aud wounds that cannot be healed
There are sorrows so deep in the human
heart
They cannot be half revealed.
Butch; let us carry our crosses
We carry them not alone
Let us tread over earth's rough places
Even as Christ has done.
Let us bury our bitter sorrow
Deep in his sacred heart,
And think what blessed thing it is
TO have in his sorrow part.
Let us think of the wrongs he suffered;
Let us think of the cross he bore;
Let us think of his many journeys;
Let us think of the crown he wore.
Surely the pain and the anguish
Christ chose for himself must be best.
Let us follow him, then, in the way OF
the cross
Twill lead unto heavens sweetest rest.

The Kelics Of a Tragedy.

A mysterious find was made Monday
by Tom Witherspoon, who is mining
phosphate on the VOORHEES, place near
Goodwin. Mr.. Witherspoon bong hit a
part of this farm at the sale OF the
American Phosphate Co., and while
removing the over burden found few
crumbling human bones. which had
evidently lain under three or four feet
of soil for many years. The locality is
a lonely one and has never been used as
a burial ground. Until a few years ago
it was surrounded by dense thicket,
and is several hundred yards from any
road. The strangest feature of the case
is the fact that there were found IN the
grave two axes of a primitive pattern,
which were evidently home made.
This leads to the belief that an effort
was made to conceal crime. III so, the
effort was successful, for there is no
recollection OF any occurrence in the
communitv which the discovery Will
explain 1t is most p obab that a
murder was committed ~ that the
perpetrator hid the body his vict III
and the discriminating "H ron 10 the
same grave, and kept his ST cret to the
end.
