That some serious trouble or disaster was iny tending could in theifan5thm»nrc«. |The central' figure' of ? the group, whose weather-beaten appear ance and dingy uniform told of much exposure and hard ship, was the general in com mand of the town. For mouths Lynchburg had been used a de pot fi r the collection of supplies and at this especial time there was still on hand a large sup ply of stores. Richmond gone and the war practically ended, there was no longer need of supplying troops, and the authorities at the time of which we write were making arrangements for the systemat ic distribution of provisions 10 the people of the town. L T u- bapily these arrangements were uot yet completed. While the the war lasted no privations— neither hunger, cold, nor bodi ly pain—was too hard to bear, j^ith fathers, brothers and sons at the front, the women and girls at home, wholly depend ent on themselves, had suffered without a murmur. But now the sight of store houses filled with soldiers who would no longer need to be fed, and the thought of their famished condition, was more thau their weak tiesfi and blood could eudur?. Inflamed and excited by a few leading spirits, an immense throng—mostly of wocueu and children—had crowded into the street, «£. that come into their hands, and with shouting and clamor, were rushing towurd the officers. ‘Bread ! Bread ! We are starving!” was their cry, and u glance at their distorted aud de termined faces showed that they would stop at nothing to secure their uid. On they came, their number swelling every moment, and their yells mid cries filling the' air. The general, knowing the terrible results likely to follow the capture of the stores by the mob—there being liquors as well as food in the warehouses and coneious that what was done must be done at once; turned to one of his companions and said, “Captain, order your company here, sir, as quickly as possible, and if that crowd does licit scatter when I give the word, fire upon them.” The young officer, his face flushing as he saluted, replied, “General, my men do not fight women and children, and, even are ready.” “Have them load their with ball cartridges, ca and when I give thg* w; it ‘heeq^ipg qW^j^qiry T them to.fife lou>,T»ut(dnre. understand,"wt’" ^ “Yes, general.” The latter theji rode toward the advancing mob. and tbf of ficers drew' on one side, looking upon the scene with mingled feelings of shame and dread.

I shall give you five minutes in which to disperse. If, at the ex piration of that time you have not started you will be shot down where you stand.” “Now, captain, be ready.” The rioters looked dazed for an instant, but seeing only a handful of boys to back the bold words, returned to their howling and throwing stones. The general sat calm and out wardly unmoved. As the min utes passed he told them* off aloud, the increasing noise ren dering his voice almost inaudi ble at times. “One!”—“Two!”—“Three!” No sign of retreat in that mud crowd. “Four minutes!

No doubt a diet of rich Northern blue blood will be very acceptable to our sea- coast mosquitoes and sand-flies. The Atlanta Constitution says: Receiver Fink, of the East Ten nessee road, has bongnt 15,000 tons of steel rails for the refit- ing of his entire line. Business is said to be unusually-heavy and the receiver will spend a half million dollars this year in new rails, bridges and depots. The change of guage in the Cen tral and Richmond and Danville roads will costa half million for each system. Here we have three southern roads spending a million and a half in better ments.

The shout from Charleston could be heard three miles across the water as the flag fell. After that red hot shots were thrown into the doomed fort (Sumter,) ami by 1 o’clock the white flag was raised, and the steamer from Charles ton started for Fort Sumter to receive the Yanks, who had in such a short time been compell ed to vacate this stronghold. On this steamer was young Lieut. Haskill, who on reaching the fort was presented with a piece of slate by a Northefner, that was broken by the first shot of the aar. This he fimde into a heart, and gave it to a young lady. This valuable memento is now in Athens, in the posses sion of the writer. When we glance back at the number of years, and consider that the no ble Khett, of Charleston, with a lew staunch men, held this fort under the heavy tires of the iron sides and the 2D steel monitors, with her broken walls of brick patched up with sand bags, we are loath to be disgusttd with the wanton boast of the North ern writers about their skill and war engineering.

This, with the heavy concussion of the guns, and the noise of the cannons, made it a scene never to be forgotten, and as my mind reverts to those, it seems to me as some horrid chapter from the noble old writer of fiction.— J.

Upon her return to this country she will apply for a divorce. The marriage took place at a hotel in Jersey City, Dec. 17, in opposi tion to the wishes of all her friends. The couple were on a trip through Mexico with a company. The lady was the wife of the late Wil liam 0,Dale Stevens, a well known circus manager.
