IjSCA PE.- As the train on the West Point
Point last evening was approaching Me-.
Wright's Station, a few miles below
Fast point, the cow-catcher knocked off a
bar of iron eighteen feet long, which
had b ecu laid across the track, and two
miles further on the ’ same train was
greeted with a shower of stones and
pieces of rock, one of which came through
the window striking a passenger on the
arm. A lamenable disaster was providen
tially frustrated. Tho human fiend who
thus willfully places in peril the lives
of men and innocent women and children
may escape direct punishment for their
misdeeds, but their future punishment
must be left to their consciences. We
hope however to see them brought to
speedy justice.— Era. 2 d.
Agricultural Meeting.
The meeting of the Agricultural Club,
at the Court House on ‘Tuesday, was
not so fully attended ;:s it should have
been ; vet considering the time that hap
been lost on account of rain, it was well
that the farms should recieve attention
on such days as Tuesday.
The question, “ as to the best mode
of cultivating corn and cotton,” was
pretty thoroughly discussed, and novel
ideas and suggestions advanced, relative
t» the selection of seed corn. They
will doutless awaken thought, and in
duce experiment.
We are inclined to the opinion that
the fanners of our county will, by scien
tific cultivation, realize in their grain
products, and in the culture of clover
and the grasses, far greater sources of
revenue than they can, by any method
of cultivation, realize from cotton. Our
soil and climate, we think, are not pe
culiarly adapted to the growth of the
staple; and, besides too much of it is
raised anyhow, to be a product of profit
to the planter. Let the people abandon
their mania for cotton, and turn their
whole attention to the growth of grain
and grass crops, and raising stock, and
they will be a great deal better off. As
far advanced as wo may think wo are to
ward a proper cultivation of our lands,
in order to the full dcvclopement of their
latent richness, we are still very far be
hind. Our.soil, it is well known, is pe
culiarly fitted to the growth of clover.
Deep tillage is essential to the healthy
developement of any, especially root
crops. Clover, while esteemed an at
mospheric plant, penetrates deep and
It is through eiiemthc'
eies are carried into the earth, reviving
its exhausted productive ties. The only
essential to a very abundant clover crop,
and a c msequent increased fertility of
your land, is deep, deep plowing.* You
cannot plow too deep.
Coosawattee Bridge.
Wc understand that a petition signed
by many citizens of the County; is to be
presented to the Craudjurv at this term
of the Court, aching that they recom
mend the building of a County bridge
across the t ’osawattee river somewhere
between the mouth of the SiLquoy creek
and New Town ferry. This we are
inclined to think is a right step in the
right direction, and a public enterprise
that eminently deserves the favorable
consideration of the Grand jury. Every
facility of access to the commercial cen
ter of a County offered the public re
dounds to the interest of all the people
in the County. From information wc
have recivcd. we believe the people can
not too strongly urge the matter t ill a
bridge is built. What will the Grand
jury say? Let us hear.

Letter from Hon. Nelson Tift.
Albany, Ga., March 21, 1871.
To five (dibit ni < f the 2 d Contfrctsional
District:
When I accepted yonr nomination as
the candidate of the Democratic party
for election, to represent you in Con
gress. it was with a purpose single to
your interests and my duty, and the
course which I now adopt is dictated by
the safne motives.
In December last, as shown by the of
ficial returns, l was elected to the 41st
Congress by a majority of 500 votes,
and to the 42d Congress by a majority
of SUA votes. By means which have
been explained in House Miscellaneous
document, No. 68, parts Ist 2d aud 3d,
41st Congress, 3d session, certificates of
of election were issued by Governor
Bullock, to my opoonet, It. 11. Whiteley.
for both the 41st and 42d Congress, up
on which he has been seated.
1 gave notice of contest for the scat
in the 41st Congress, and subscquctly
for the 42d Congress, while there was
yet bops that the law would be vindi
cated. After much delay and difficulty,
T procured and placed before the Com
mittee of Elections, certified copies of
the election returns, convincing them
that 1 was elected, and that the certifi
cate was wrongfully issued to Mr White
ley. But a majority of the committee
declined to report the facts, and permit
ted the wrong to be continued in the
41st, and 42d Congress.
This is but a repetition of the injus
tice of the Radical majority in cases
from other States whore Radical Gover
nors have usurped the rights of the peo
ple and given certificates of election Jto the
minority candidates of their own party —
they have been seated arid retained their
seats in spite of contests which have shown
that they were not elected,
Judging from my experience and
these facts, and from the facility which
has already been shown by our oppo
nents in Sumter and Pulaski counties
in procuring salsa testimony to suit their
purpose —as shown in the document
above referred to —it would, in my opin
ion, be a waste of time and means to
again prove by respectable citizens what
has been already demonstrated, only to
be denied by unscrupulous Radical par
tisans whose testimony would again, as
heretofore, be taken as a sufficient pre
text to justify the wrong which has been
committed.
With this conviction, I cannot wil
lingly subject our people to the excite
ment. loss of time and means, and loss
of labor from the crops which a long
contest in the different counties in the
district would necessarily involve, with
no prospect of redress. I regret the of
ficial demoralization and wrong which, in
my judgment, makes this course proper.
But sucli wrongs find tlueir compensa
tion iii arousing the people to the dan
gers which threaten their institutions,
and will thus aid the movement now in
progress, which in 1872 will drive the
Radical party from power, regenerate
the Government and bring peace and
prOSpOrHy to eouutry
In again taking my place in the
ranks by your side. I desire to say, that
during my brief official career, next to
the consciousness of having performed
my duty faithfully, according to the
best of my judgment and ability, your
confidence and approval has been my
best reward, and will ever be remem
bered with gratitude.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Nelson Tift.

THE SO NO HA DEBATE.
BY E. B. L.
Last Saturday night ’Lwas April first.
And the Sonora folks were merry.
Entertained by Bob and George
And John and fat Frank Puryear.
The Speaking was about as fine
As men might wish to hear;
But Bob and George got badly beat.
By John and fat Frank Puryear.
The ladies were out and looking fine.
With rosy cheeks and silken hair
To be admired by all the boys
As well as by fat Frank Puryear.
Now Bob and George must not give up,
Nor once think of despair ;
But renew the fight and see if they
Can’t beat old fat Frank Puryear.

when 0. A. Beeves reported for the
""”Mr7Sonneeven'daSetter TFolfi .7TT. nnr-'
nett.proposing to meet the Gordon County
Agricultural Society in May or June,
and addacss the Society. After which
the Society proceeded to the discussion
of the question, which is as follows:
“ V> hat is the best method of planting
and cultivating corn and cotton,” which
was fully discussed.
Mr. W. R. Rankin and J. D. Tinsley
were added to the list of members.
Question for discussiou orr the first Tues
day in May as follows: What is the
best mode of raising grasses and saving
them.
James Doggers. Pre'st.,
J. W. Swain. Sect’y., Pro Tan.
Wanted. —A boot for the foot of the
stairs, a handkerchief for the nose of a

the earth in. n hat to lit the head of the
class, table covers for the railway time

Poultry. —A gentleman recently
asked Mr. Greely which was the great
est poultry-raising State, as lie was anx
ious to engage in that branch of agricul

two days he had come to the conclusion
that New Hampshire was the most noted
for raising poultry, as lie couldn't pick
up a paper from that State but was full
of -‘rooster;-.”
[know the £uiiw OiWhu* j
Lee After Gettysburg.
*‘.L St cm jhat a Historical Eu inter
. might icelf Immortalize.
GEN. .T. O. IMBODEX IN THE GALAXY.
When night closed upon the grand,
scene, our army was repulsed. Silence
and gloom pervaded our camp. We
knew that the day was gone against us.
but the extent of the disaster was not
known except in high quarters, 'ihe
carnage of tho day was reported to
have been frightful, but our army was
notin retraat, and we all surmised that
with to-morrow’s dawn would come a re
newal of the struggle; and we knew that
if such was the case those who had n >t
been in the fight would have their full
share in the honors and dangers of the
next day. All felt and appreciated the
momentous consequences of final defeat
or victory on that great field. Those
considerations made that, to us, one of
those solemn, awful nights that every
one who fought through our long war
sometimes experienced before a great
battl 3.
Few camp-fires enlivened the scene.
It was a warm summer’s night, and the
weary soldiers were lying in groups up
on the luxuriant grass of the mead avs
we occupied, discussing the events of
the day, or watching that their horses
did not straggle off in browsing around
About 11 o’clock a horseman approach
ed and delivered a message from Gen.
Lee, that he wished to see me immedi
ately. I mounted at once, and accom
panied by Lieut. McPhil, of my' staff,
and guided by the courier, rede about
two miles towards Gettysburg, where
half a dozen small tents on the
roadside were pointed out as General
Lee’s Headquarters f>r tho night. He
was not there, but I was informed that I
would find him with General A. P. Hill,
half a mile further on. On reaching
the place indicated a flickering, solitary
candle, visible through the open front
of a common tent, showed where Gen
erals Lee aud hill were seated on camp
stools with a county map spread upon
their knees, and engaged in a low and
earnest conversati in. They e axel speak
ing as I approached, and, after the or
dinary salutations, General Lee directed
me to go to his headquarters and wait
for him. He did not return until about
1 o’clock, when he came riding alone at
a slow walk'and evidently wrapped in
profound thought.
There was not even a sentinel on du
ty, and no one of his staff was .about
The moon was high in the heavens, shed
ding a f.ood of soft livery light, almost
as bright as day, upon the scene. When
he approached and saw us.he spoke,rein
ed up his horse,and essayed to dismount.
The effort to do so displayed s.a much
physical exhaustion that I stepped for
ward to assist him, but before I reached
him he had alighted. He threw his
arm across Ills saddle to rest himself,
and, fixing his eyes upon the ground,
leaned in silence upon his equally wea
ry horse, the two forming a striking
group, rs motionless as a statue Tim
moon shown te.ir upon Tils na s!~e rea-
t tirc-s, and revealed an expression of sad
ness 1 had never seen upon that fine
countenance before, in any ol’ the vicis
situdes of the war through which he
had passed. I waited for him to speak
until the silence became painful and em
barrassing, when, to break it, and change
the current of his thoughts, I remarked
in a sypathetic tone, and inallusicn to
his great fatigue :
“General, this has been a hard day
on you.”
This attracted his attention. He
looked up and replied mournfully :
“Yes, it has been a Wd. sad day to
us.” and immediately relapsed into his
thoughtful mood and attitude. Being
unwilling again to intrude up; n his re
flections, 1 said no more. After a min
ute or two he suddenly straightened up
to his full height, and turning to me
with more animation, energy, and ex
citement of manner than 1 had ever
seen in him before, he addressed me in
a voice tremulous with cinotUn, and
said :
“General I never saw troops behave
more magnificently than Pickett’s divi
sion of Virginians did to-day in their
grand chnjgc upon the enemy. And if
they had been supported as they were to
have been—but for some reasons not
yet fully explained to me, they were not
—we would have held the position they
so gloriously won at such a fearful loss
of noble lives, aud the day would have
been ours.”
After a moment he added in a tone
almost of agony:
“Too bad ! Too bad 1 Oh. too bad !”
I never shall forget, as long as I live,
his language and his manner, and his
appearance and expression of mental suf
fering. Altogether, it was a scene that
talize, had one been "Tori'an at eVy pr¥sc4iT
to witness it.
In a little whilePhe called up a ser
vant from his sleep to take his horse;
spoke mournfully by name of several of
his friends who had fallen during the
day, and when a candle had been light
ed invited me alone into his tent, where,
as soon as we were seated, he remarked :
“We must return to Virginia- As
many of our poor wounded as uossible,
must be taken home. I have sent for
you. because your men are fresh, to
guard the trains back to Virginia.”
