Foreign Missions.

Foreign Missions.
Watson's Magazine for March,
which is the successor to Watson's
Jeffersonian Magazine, will contain
another editorial on Foreign Mis-
sions, and also an eloquent defence
of the present system. Every one
has been waiting, watching and
hoping for another word from Mr.
Watson on this subject.
Tom Watson says. Christians
of America! The cry of the child
rem of this land rises loudly and
bitterly against you. The infant
lies at your door. And in large,
national, racial sense, it is your
child! And you are leaving it there,
to die of criminal neglect, while
you rush wildly to Europe, Asia,
Africa, Oceanica and Latin Ameri-
ca, to save the strangers child. On
that great day, when the earth and
the sea shall give up their dead, and
men shall troop toward the Great
White Throne, to give an account
of the deeds done in the body, what
will you say? Oh, what can you
say, when you are accused by the
little ones for whom you are respon-
sible, and whom you allowed to go
to Death or the Devil?"
Again, he says: you fetter the
future of your country with the
foul bonds of the Harlot. In your
mad zeal to compel other races to
change their religions, you betray
Christ in your own country. The
Laymen's Movement really means
the world for the Trusts With
the craftiness of Satan himself, the
wolves of the Trusts are donning
sleeps clothing. In the name of
God, they are setting up, through
ont the heather world, their own
golden altars."
Read about Little Dora" the
negro child that the missionaries
want to buy, and then about the
little white slaves of Colorado, who
toll from dawn to dark for their
japanese masters.
Watson's Magazine is 10 cents a
copy at any newsstand, one dollar
year. Subscriptions may be sent
direct to Watson's Magazine, Thom-
son, Ca, or will be accepted in club

LICENSE TO PLUNDER
and BURN.
A LETTER DESCRIBING INCL.
DENTS OF SHERMAN'S RAID
IN CAMDEN.

letter concerning Sherman's raid was
found on Hobkirk Hill. by an old
coiored woman just after Camden
was raided by Sherman. The old
colored woman brought this letter
to lady at Camden, who is now
living in Charleston.
The pitcher referred to is sup
posed to have been taken from Maj
John M DeSaussure.
The letter was written by a Federal
officer while in Camden. and is
printed Just as written:
Feb. 26th, 1865.
Dear Wife,
| have no time for particulars, we
have had a glorious time in this
State. Universal License to burn
and plunder was the order of the
day.
The chivalry have been stripped
of most of their vaiuables and fine
gold watches, Silver pitchers, Cups,
SPOONS and forks and etc., are as
common in camp as blackberries.
The valuables procured we esti-
mate by companies-each company
is requested to exhibit the result OF
It's operation at any given place, one
fifth and first choice falls to the
share of the Commander in Chief
and staff, one fifth to field officers
of regiment and three fifths to the
Company. Officers are not allowed
to join these expeditions without
disgusting themselves as privates.
One of our Captain Commander,
borrowed a suit of citizens clothes
from one of our men and was sue
cessful in this place. he got a large
quantity of Silver, among other
things an old time Silver milk
pitcher and a very fine gold watch
from a Mr. DeSassure at this place.
DeSassure is one of the F F H Of S
C., and was made to fork over
iberally.
Officers over the rank of Captain
are not made to put their plunder
in the estimate for distribution.
This is very unfair and for this rea-
son in order to protect themselves
subordinate officers and privates
keep back everything that they can
carry about their persons such as
rings, earrings, breast-pins-of
which if | ever live to get home.
