Camp life teen* to be very demor alizing to the mind, character an-> morals of men. Of the men who were raised up moral, a good many remained so, and many who belonged to the church turned ou; to be desperately wicked, whih some who professed to be religious were good men and held out to ibe last. We had preaching in ramps, and one or two revivals u| to date, and several were added ti the church. The Rev. Mr. Emory was Chaplain of tlie 27th Gx reg -iment, and we loved him. The soldiers, or * great many of tliera thought more of a game n{ cards than they did of preaching, ami sec met I to think very lilll. about their souls or future welfare after death, though few would go into a fight with cards in their pockets, and we would destroy*', our letters also. 1 mention these tilings principally to show the rising generation how demoraliz ing a camp or war life is to uicn.

There were regular officers in command here, and they made .heir men toe the mark, but could not make us volunteers do that way. It was a rule when a aiek man went in before a doctor for him to lake his hat off, but we did not do it. We remained ia the Fort 10 tlaya, and were then re tiered and sent hack to camps on James Island. Fort Sumter is about one mile from Charleston. and Sullivan Islands, nnd about half a mile from Morris Island.— With Fort Johnson on James Is land, a good many batteries on Sullivan Island, and some very large guns at Charleston, (one light, as the boys called it, which was Ika These who liked eye lers could go down to the. heart and get them. fife made out a great deal better than the hoys ia Virginia, and were satisfied to stay hei . About the 10th of December sev eral of us were sent back to Fort Sumter, but had nwt been there maay day* before the magazine caught Are and blew up thing* terribly. The commissary and magazine were close together, and they had to keep a lighted lamp or candle in there all the time, and one morning about sunrise the commissary man was issuing ra lions, and it was supposed while drawing whiskey it caught from the caavlle, spread to the magazine sod blew it op, netting the Fort on fire. We never did find the sion kilMd several and wounded a good many. It was very exciting, and the Fort burned until near 12 o'clock before we coaid put it out.

We took the train a: Goldsboro, ( which i* also a small place), our next stopping place being Wilmington. Our brigade divided here, two regiments went to Charleston, S. C'., aud the rest of us marched down on Tapsill Sound, and here wa saw another sight—the ocean. We inarched down near the coast and cain|>cd. remaining about a week. Ween joyed our stay here for several reasons, one being that we could catch a great many fish, nnd be sides it was a pleasant place. A great many winter or summer houses had been bflillfor northern visitors, hut were all vacated at that time, only as some one was employed to look after them. The saml flies worried ua a great deal, and it was almost impossible to get rid of them. We captured a blockade runner loaded with goods while here. Receiving orders to move, we went back to Wilmington, crossed the river, and taking the cars soon landed in Charleston, 8. C. We marched up in town, when we were conducted to the Soldiers' Home, where we got supper am! campad during the night. This is not a very pretty city, being al most surrounded bj- water.

When troops were sent there and taken away, they always went between Fort Sumter and James Island, but that uight the ! captain of the boat went between Fort Sumter and the enemy, and iu front of Sullivan Island. The batteries on this island called for the countersign, but the captain kept on without giving any, and ; four bottles, ’.he result was his boat was fired into and sunk. Barges were sent to them as soon as possible, hut most of the men jumped off as she was sinking, thinking they would save their lives by swimming to Sumter or Sullivan, distant about half a mile. The 23<1 Georgia made for Sumter, and the moat of them got there safe. They lost the most of their clothing and shoes Some of them say they swam till they give out, and quit making any effort to save them selves and commenced sinking, when they found the water only three or four feet deep. The tide being down they could walk a good |>ortion of the way, and by tlie providence of God all escaped. The officers sent off anil drew hats, clothes and shoes for tiioae need ing them, and they all went back to camps next day. We stayed in the Fort about ten days, and wc drew short ratioas.

For one year I was com [wiled to use crutches. I tried various reme dies, especially avery sort of lini ment, hut none of them did ine any good. I saw in the newspa- |iers an adreitiseuieat of Swift's Specific for rheumatism, and re solved to try it. I have taken After I bad taken it awhile I was enabled to throw away my crutches. I commenced using Swift's Specific last Novem ber, and have had ao further use for crutches, and only anfirr a Httle at times aow, and would not have suffered at all if I bad con tinued to lake life medicine. My experience with liniments ia that they are of but little benefit, and that only temporary. The dis ease it io the blood aad mutt be eradicated, and that is the reason I took S. S. S.

The pretty girls of Fort Valley —and then are a number of pret ty ones there, to our certain knowledge- are all the prettier frees the fact that they take a practical, common sense view ot -female education.” They areas well-up in books nnd the extras aa the girls in other cities and towns; bnt they are decidedly ahead of moat of them in Un practical details of housekeeping. They have a “cooking dub,” In means of which aomeot them— moat of them, likely, have acquir cd the great accomplishment nl cooking. It is the only acquire A on which healthful and economical household admisislra lion can be based, and in perfect ing themselves in it. they have given evidence of both industry and good venae. It ia t ot an ac- waflhtosal tar a girl to i-e ig norant of the difference between the “damper” and the stove key of a store. There are girls in Albany just aa weltpoated in the culinary dc partment of housekeeping as their Fort Talley sisters, haring had the advantage of home tuition in that great science. They are to be specially commended for their attainments in that line; but if they had a cooking club, like that of ihe Fort Valley girls, it wonld enable them tu have a little inno cent amusement along with the somewhat dry details of the art preservative of huigan digestion. It is a blessed thing these days for people to understand, in all its varied phases and relations, the true meaning of the word “self- help.” It is as glorious a thing to he independent of outside “help’' and its attendant robberies and vexations, in the different depart mrntaof household labor, as it is to be politically independent of the exactions, oppressions and robberies of a foreign foe. It is not less the duty o( women to for get their ease ami assert their in dependence, health permitting, iu their little home kingdom, than it is fer men to “put their hands to the plow” and look not hack— with ail that the injunction may imply. Tlie new era that dawned upon our section, twenty-mid years ago, waa one of toil and pri ration, bnt it was bravely met. Since then, bands that were not accustomed to labor hare learned many of the minutest details of active lifework; and children who, otherwise, would have been brought up in ignorance have learned the details of honse work, farm work and many of the ine chanical pursuits. It is a solemn duty which parents owe to those aow growing up, to fit them to liil the hard stations in life as well as the soil ones, to battle with ad versity ns well as to beautify the peace of pro*|ieritv; for parents do not live always, and children must some day he cast off u|H>n only ■uch resources as arc derived from native jowers—sharpened by parental instruction.—Albctay Newt. came oace a week with them, and j lering ao much aad waa ao fretful I was always willing to help ua ; that we had no rent night or day. load it, aa I generally made it Wc consulted other physicians £ P.

I grew worse and worse until it was ahuoM impossible for me to lie down and sleep at night for 1.4 months, owing to the severity of tfce cough. The only way I could sleep was in a chair, my head resting upon a pillow on a table. Was treated bv two differ- Mt physicians, and tried'a number of Patent Medicines, all of which did no good. After having despaired of ever getting well, niv wife consulted you by letter. You sent me two bottles of your Dyspeptic Elixir; in less than three days I could lie down and sleep as w ell as I ever could in my life ; a few bottles cured me perfectly.

As considerable inquiry is made about the qualities of this new pen ia the higher regions than Flori la. from whence it is now being distributed, the following wilt In interesting from Mr. J. II.. Alex ander, of Augusta, Gx, to the Home and Firm: “This year I seen red something more than a pint of seed, which I planted, two peas in a place four to six feet apart, covering nearly .i half acre. I got the seed neat the middle of June, and . having then no unoccupied ground, I put them in with my crop of white vel vet okra, which I was growing for seed. The okra was already well -tarted and the pens were put iu rows between the stalks and to fill missing places,of which there were a good many. The rains were abundant all the early summer and until first of Angust The peas appeared promptly, but did not g.-ow rapidly at first, and I sup |H>se were retarded some by tlie okra, which being dwarf and com pact growth, shaded the land too much for the peas. In August, however, the vines began to make freely and by September the land was as densely shaded with [ica- . vines, as if a bushel and a half nl common field or clay peas had been sown on it. Vines 15 to 20 feet long were very common, anti this soil being thin, light, sandy loam and not fertile, I readily be lieve that on good, strong land the vines would extend 50 feet or nnre. The Conch pea is a small white pea, very like what we call Lady pea. For the table they arc deli eate anti tender—a very accepta blc dish. The vine is a very low creeper, lies close to the soil and J suppose could not be cut with mower on that account At the joints it has a tendency to take fresh roots. The foliage is abuu dant, and I believe it will be the bestof all peas to shade the land from our summer sun, and fur nish humus for enriching the land I observed very few blooms du ring August, aud not until late in Sept cm Iter was there any sitow ol a good crop of seed from these vinex Near Octolter 1, there came an immense crop of peas, al most as if by magic. They bore right along abundantly and but for frost overtaking them, woidd have yielded a large' return As it is, I got about two bushels o seed from the first planted, and there scented to he as many killed by fiost as I had gathered. I ain inclined to think this pea will do more to enrich our lands than any other sort, because they make such vines and foliage. A quart of seed carefully distributed over an acre will occupy the lantl as fully as two bushels of clay or red | eas nnd protect it as well from the sun. The economy in seed would lie quite an item. A mowing machine blade would nol run under these vines; but if it is desired to save forage the vines could be cut off at the root and pulled around into wiudrows to cure, as easily as a horse rake would take up the common sort of Aa Old War Heme. In Schley county there i* an oM mare, belonging to a Mr. Hobbs, that -has never forgotten the training which she received during the late disagrecableness. When a filly her master loaned iter to his son, who rode her du ring four years of the war. She passed, unscathed, through many hard fought battles, and at the end of the war her gallant rider returned her to his father, who has kept her ever since. Although she is old in years, the spirit of her youth remains, and at the re port of a gun or pistol, she will jump into position at once, so strong is the habit of early train ing engrafted upon her “horse knowledge.”—Americas Record er. A Specific Far liiccunglt. Dr. Henry Tucker recommends, in the Southern Medical Record, the following very simple treat ment of hiccough: Moisten gran ulated sugar with good vinegar.

The Boys and the Alligator, or the Alligator and the Buoy.— Soiae Florida Boys who had a swimming Hole along the Banks of the St. John River, were often driven out of the Water by n very large Alligator who came to sam pie them. At last they Hit n|ioa a Little Racket to Got Even with Him. They constructed a Buoy, the exact size, shape, aad shade of an ordinary Boy, and filled it with Kitro Glycerine, and took n Pole and Pushed it out a little Way from the Shore. Pres ently the Alligator came up with hia Mouth wide open, like Steel Trap, and in oue Bite be took in, ^ . ... over half of the Buoy, who just CIiest ’ “ ,l Lungs, yield at once at that Juncture went off and nnd blew him Tail First about He Compromised. Nearly everybody in Georgia knows Paul Howes, the drummer. He • was recently traveling in South Carolina nnd with a fellow traveler purchased a thousand mile ticket. Tlie conductor re fused tlTallow but one of them to ride on the ticket, saj'ing that while it could be issued to two or more parties only one person could ride on it at one time. Mr. Howes was put off the train about four miles from Wades boro, anti gave notice at once that lie would •uc the road for damages, lie employed an attorney, but it was not long before the authorities of fered to compromise. The offer was accepted anti Mr. Howes came off 81 000 better off. His walk of four miles to WadesIkjio netted him just $250 per mile. Aa Impsrtaut Discovery.

When you hear a man sneering at the local pajier because they are not as big, cheap and newsy as other pajiers, you can safely bet that he does not squander his wealth in assisting to make them’ better, and that generally tils papers huve done more for him 1 than he has for them. The man who cannot see the benefit arising ta a towu from the newspapers hasn't the sense of an oyster, and lie is about us much value to a town as a delinquent tax list. The New York Sun deserves credit for the following: “Fnsh- iouable Wile—Did you notice, Icar. at the party last evening how grandly our daughter Clara- swept into the room?
