and it was impossible for me to leave
my place to go to the city, three miles
away, to send you what you desired.
We have now gotten virtually bro

smoothly on in the appointed way.
We had a rather rough trip, but not
so bad as we anticipated. We had a
special cnr'to Savannah, and quite a
number took the sleeper at Du l’ont,

the car to make themselves comforta

The Committee Meets.
The committee of ladies invited by
the Hussars to meet at the Library
yesterday afternoon to confer with a
committee from the Hussars, in re
gard to the programme, and the most
important part of it, of the 4th of
July Tournament was a success.
There was not a full attendance of the
ladies, hut the number present was
quite enough to start the hall in mo
tion. The lady friends of the Hus
sars will serve the public with dinner
and supper 011 the 4th, and it may
lie inferred from the reputation of
the ladies that have the matter in
charge, that the public has cause to
congratulate itself. A committee of
youilg ladies was appointed to make
canvass of the city; and they

AVednesdny morning of a poor white
man that had been sent here from
Washington county Fla., AVilliam
Mathias by name. He was taken
to the Four House Tuesday afternoon,
lint his deadly disease had fastened
itself too strong.sy on him, and lie died
Wednesday. The poor fellow told
a pitiable tale of his brother's cruelly
and hcartlcssness, and while it seems
almost incredible that one brother
could treat another so, it seems as
unnatural to suppose that a mail
would go out into the great unknown
with falsehood in his heart, and on
his lips. It seems that when the
father of the two brothers died lie left,
them quite a comfortable property,
hut the elder one took it all, and w hen
disease fastened itself 011 the poor
fellow that ilied here, his brother
kicked him out, and sot him adrift,
Let us hope that he lias gone where

and that the inhumanity he suffered
here may recoil on the man that
practiced it.
