CALIFORNIA TO TENNESSEE

left Fresno, Calf, Friday morning,
Oct 30th at 8;14 a. m. over the Sante
Fe road. for visit to my old home in
Tennessee, after an absence of thirteen
years. The thought came to me, why
not write up this trip for friends to
read.
warm rain, the first in seven months.
After few miles we ran into a heavy
fog, so thick that you could not see
SO feet ahead. It took all the curl
out of my heir, also out of the feath-
ers on my hat, but after awhile the
fog lifted and hoe pretty everything
looked after the rain. Through YIN
yards and orchards and on into the
grain section, hundreds of acres in
grain, mostly wheat and barley, sup.
pose about six inches high, perfect
sea Of green. Miles on and the scene
changes. We are now passing Chi
nese garden. 1t makes a fellow hun
cry just to look at that winter garden
of lettuce, onions, peas, and radishes.
Miles on and we are in Merced, with
such prett little park at the depot,
with so many flowers, and such beau
tiful roses in bloom. So many of the
depats> of the West have beautiful
parks near and how they are appreci-
ated by the weary traveller Now into
fog bank again. After a run of per-
haps thirty miles the fog is gone. |

The Injunction Petition.-The pc
tition comes from Newberry county,
and the man whose name is used in
the injunction proceedings says he
does not drink liquor: that he is a pro-
hibitionist and will vote for prohi-
bition in case the injunction is not
granted. Strange position for a citi-
zen to occupy! But he is within his
rights of course. 1t is well known that
Mr.. Chappell is not drinking man;
but il is news that he is a prohibition
ist. He has been associated with the
side i'm politics that favors the dis
pensary and was himself county dis
penser for some time-the last dis
penser Newberry county had holding

voted out He was county supervisor
when the attempt was made a year
ago to get up a petition to try to vote
the dispensary in again; but it is only
fair to say that he acted then. i'm hav-

Praaga were the water mains dam
aged by explosions.
The Russians retired in such haste
at the last moment that they omitted
to carry out many measures they had
planned. A whole park full Of auto
mobiles and carriages which had been
collected for removal was left behind.
The order to carry off the church
bells was only partly executed and
many bells were left hanging.
Most Of the Polish residents declined
to follow the order to leave, generally
escaping deportation by keeping out OF
sight.
The scenes on the night Of the
evacuation were dramatic. At 10
o'clock a series Of extraordinary heavy
explosives were heard. signalling the
destruction of the forts. The sky fam
ed red from burning military buildings
and railway shops. The bridges were
jammed with retiring troops or flooded
with columns Of artillery.
At 5 o'clock the next morning pio-
neers destroyed three Vistula bridges.
An hour later two German officers
rode coolly through the city in an au-
tomobile to the town hall, where they
met the chief Of the citizens commit
tee. A few minutes afterward patrols
of cavalry appeared, their lances deck
ed with flowers, and the men singing,
Die Wacht Am Rhein."
From the scenes. in the streets it
might have been thought the event was
city festival. Crowds in gay sum-
mer attire thronged the thorough
fares, cheering the entering soldiers,
while many offered them flowers.
Meanwhile from the river front and
overhead came the noise Of exploding
shrapnel shells and the whiZ Of speed
ing bullets. Many casualties occurred
in the city and ambulances were busy
the entire day transporting the
wounded.
Municipal affairs are in the hands Of
a citizens committee under the control
Of which a volunteer citizens police
force has been formed to preserve or
der.
The destruction Of the railroad bridge
was poorly executed. The middle
spans were wrecked and dropped into
the river, but the piers were left stand
ing so that it will take only a COM
paratively short time to rebuild the
structure and reopen railroad COM
munication.

Soldiers From York.

Believing that this district and
state would gladly perpetuate in some
form the names of those who fell in
the late struggle. we design opening
in The Enquirer at an early date,
roll for this purpose. To affect this
object we ask the assistance Of all Of
ficers who commanded companies and
others able to furnish any information
in furtherance Of this design.
To all commanding officers Of COM
panies from this district who are will
ling to assist us, we would say, send us
the name of the company and the regi-
ment to which it belonged, including
the names of those killed, the battle
in which they fell and the Same Of
those who died from wounds received

In action-name also those who died
from disease in service-in each in
stance giving dates. The roll should,
as far as practicable, be a condensed
history Of the company from its or
ganization to the close Of the war. We
will either publish the roll in full or
such facts from them as will be inn
portant to perpetuate.
We earnestly ask the assistance Of
the officers Of this district in this
work. The objects are important and
nearly every family treasures the men,
ory Of some name that should live In
the future. The roll will be historic
record Of the soldiers Of this district
and as a matter Of reference alone will
be invaluable. Give uo your help.

ed hopes in the country that no one
entertained a few weeks ago. In ad-
dition to this the prompt response Of
large portion of the northern people
in endorsing that action and the con-
sequent confusion Of the Republican
ranks lead us to hope that the day Of
deliverance from military rule Is not
far distant.
We need not fatter ourselves, how
ever, that the struggle is over or even
decided. The opposition have strong
forces in the field and a tenacious
grasp on the government. Their
strength Is not broken. Confused and
disconnected in one scheme they will
speedily fall upon others equally radi-
cal in their effects upon the south.
The president holds no check upon
the constitutional amendments and II
southern representatives can be kept
out long enough the old instrument
will soon be turned into a legislative
code by which to govern the rebel
lious states" When all these amend
ments are perfected and the constitu-
ton thus altered we may expect con-
gress to open it's doors to the southern
delegates. This is the present design
and strong efforts will be made to car
ry it into effect.
The south has an interest in the
legislation Of the present congress that
she has never felt before in any such
body. Her hands are tied, however,
and words or argument cannot effect
the result. They are as Intellectual as
whispers before a hurricane. 1t be-
comes her therefore, to remain a silent
spectator Of the struggle between the
administration and congress. Noisy
discussion and resolutions Of support
or congratulation to the power that
vindicates her cause can be Of no avail
They will do harm. All praise to
President Johnson Is balanced by an
equal amount Of calumny from a Sec
ton where it will have power and in
Huence. Here it has none. Let us
abstain from it entirely until events
so shape themselves as to render our
good opinion Of weight in the balance.
There is too great a tendency with
the press to claim the president as the
special champion Of the south. He
disclaims any such motives. We
should also disclaim them. The presi-
dent is no party man, but as the advo-
cate of right and justice is worthy Of
support. He is not of our clan. His
principles and ours have been widely
divergent and it is only because he
has exhibited an amount of good sense
and justice in the administration that
the south has failed to find elsewhere
that we have been led to embrace him
as nur Snecial Nemesis

A Hay Fever Cure.-Now that the
hay fever season is coming on, the de-
luge of hay fever remedies begins.
From an Oxford, Md, man formerly
a chronic sufferer, comes this sugges-
ton:
dissolve n teaspoonful Of bicarbo-
nate of soda in a glass Of warm water
and sniff it up the head repeatedly,
keeping up the treatment for week
or more
Not in fifty summers, he says, has
he been so free from the ailment, and
he attributes his relief solely to this
simple prescription. - Spartanburg
