LEESVILLE LETTER,

In many respects Capt. A. II. West
is very remarkable man. But this
sketch is designed to give a brief his
tory of Company b. of the 18th. Regi.
ment. This Company was organized
at Mt. Willing, Aug. II. 1861. Can't
west was unanimously elected at the
first organization and retained that
position through the whole War.
He has now in his possession the
original muster roll and pay roll. The
pay roll Is made up OF names and
time of service with very little pav.
In 1873 this Company held reunion
at Mt. willing and has met every dlv
since. 1t is asserted that this was the
first reunion of Confederate soldiers of
South Carolina.
Company was sent to Camp But.
Ter or Aiken county immediately after
organization. Their first service was
at Pocataligo. The assignment Of
duty there was Of very dangerous
nature. Considerable fighting result
ed in the loss of o men of the Com
pany. After this service the regiment
was ordered to Virginia. To give
history OF Company b from this time
on until the end Of the War, wonld
be to give the history the l4th Rcgi-
ment. The Company was in all the
fights around Richmord and cxcry
light in which the regiment vas en-
gagged.
Company n marched from Mt. VIII
ling with l43 men and surrendered
with Al. Every one OF these II could
show wounds on his person.
The following is complete roll o,

MASSACRE AND DESTRUCTION
Russian Cities Being Burned and
the Inhabitants Slaughtered.
Foreign Residents nDd Better
Classes of Bnku Flee to Sea
From Danger.

Balu, CauCasia, tept. S.-The situa-
tion shows no signs of amelioraton 1t
could hardly be worse The terror
stricken inhabitants are fleeing from
the city, knowing that the garrison IS
utterly inadequate TO protect them;
and although the worst scenes OF fire
and massacre have not vet occurred IN
Baku itself, none dare think how far
the excess may proceed.
The entire oil and commercial quar-
ters of Balakhan, Sabunto and Nomanl
have been wiped out by fire, and the
inhabitants remaining behind were
massacred and thrown onto the flames,
Bibebat continues to burn, and is
threatened with the same fate as Balak-
han.
The consulates. banks and admins
tration buildings in Baku are guarded
by troops All of the English resi-
dents and almost all of the better
classes have boarded to sea to escape
from danger. All available steamers
have been employed for this purpose.
Dispatches say several thousand
we're killed or wounded in the fighting
at Balakan, where the Tartars were in
trenched in forts, and more than held
their own for time against the
troops.
A whole army of hungry workmen,
driven in from the burned suburbs, has
nocked into the city There is the
greatest destituton, and measures for
transporting the workmen from the city
are imperatively necessary
