thetf eyrjont beetnie isba &
that they were scarcely to be had.
The cubic iooh of fat pork flaog to
each as his daily ratios of meat was
carefully saved from day to day
until some member of ihe mess was
fortunate enough to procure a few
heads of 'greens' or a hat-full of
little, hard, spindling turnips. And.
then what preparations for the long
delayed and hungrily anticipated
feast! The bittered and dig used
camp-kettle was joyfully brought
forth from its retirement in the
wagon and carefully scoured with
water from the nearest ditch or pud-
die. Every collard leaf was care
fully examined, with eager eye3
and busy Sogers, that no lurking
green worm might, by any accident,
become incorporated with tho sa
vory mtis. The little squares of
pork Wi.re dug out from the mealy
depths of the greasy haversacks and
the skin sides scraped to free them
Irorn t'se filth and grime accuoiula

in raiKcar and army wagon. 27ow
their hury eyes would sparkle and
dance as tho little specks of grease,
like bird's eyes, began to rise to the
surface cf the gradually heating
water, and how eagerly they would
snuffle up the stead, P3 the pot be
gan to boil, and cast up th jJttlc
white cubes to tho surface, to be
again swallowed up as they rolled
over toward the centre of the ket
tle ! Then tho greens were (.laced
in the boiling water, every frag
ment of a leaf was carefully skim
med op in the hand and thrown in
to the foiling pot and mashed down
with a stick or bayenet until there
was on'y room for tho dumplings,
.whose wonderful lu;i;ps of boiled
corn meal dear to tha palate of qv
ery true Tarheel,
DuriDg the time occupied in
cooking, each one was busily em
ployed in manufacturing a fork
from anything that came handiest,
from a fence rail to a small sap iag,
and when it was declared "done"
and the kettle taken from the fire
and placed on some convenient spot
on tho ground, where they could all
easily assemble around it, how rav
enously they fell to and attacked it
with their improvised forks, but
scarcely ever until their favarita
officers had bea coorteoujly and
cordially invited to partake of the
rare delicacy.
Loyal and leal to his country and
her cause, none knew better than
the Tarheel soldier how to resent
an injury, fancied or real, or to re
turn a kindness. At all times re
spectful and obedient to his supe
rior officer, yet he nsver, at any
time, let an opportunity pass of
showing to such as had treated him
unkindly or harshly that he remem
bered the hurt and cherished it.-No
nobler, braver, or more eelf-sacri
ficing set of men ever lived on the
earth than the private soldier in the
late Confederate army, and among
them 6tood pre-emminent,in rags and
dirt, unshaven and unshorn, batt'.e
searred aud grasping hi3 trusty rifle,
t'iO Tarheel. 1 knew theoi at homo,
where they left ilioir wives anl lit
tle onc3 unprotected aa-i unprovi
dod.for, toilmg almost day and
mht for a scanty subsistence on
tht coarsest fare, and I knew them
in battle, where they becama trans
lormud iiota mere ordiLury "mortals
ana became men of iron and steel,
;a irrebistible in the charge as tho
thunderb t from heaven.
Tar HrEL ! There is no reproach
in the r ame ; it has become the
synonym for Loyalty t Fortitude
and Bravery. History has not
withheld her tribute to his prow
ess, nor failed to record the story
of his deeds. Ah well ! JRevenoua

to no purpose, so far as any of us
could discern, beyond frightening

ing and eating began.' One Or two
servants were attached to almost
every officers mesa, whose! duty it
was to look ont for their baggage,
attend to the cooking and procuring
fuel an 1 to do the foraging gener
ally. About nine o'clock on the first
nighji of our arrival in camp, one of
the negro servants attached to our
mess came in with a bag fall of col
lard greens on his baek. A9 soon
as it was known that there was a
prospect of some greens to eat, ev
ery one was up, and as busy as a
bee, making the necessary prepara
tions for the feast. The camp-keS
tlo was uns'ung from the coupling
tongue of the wagon, where it had'
idly swung for many dya past,
filled with water and placed over
the fire, and it was not a great while
before a small ham from our scanty
store, the greens and the inevitable
dumplings were seething and bub
bling before our very eyes. Stretch

et?, with our wet feet to the genial
fire, we related to sob other oar
several experiencts, told amusing
stoiies and laughed and jested, bat
always with an eye to the pot, and,
now and then, our lips to the mouth
of a canteen filled . with something
we were led to believe the good peo
ple of Eclgecombo prized very high

In a speUr;Tr,dici i-; That the de-
lenaantmaae the affidavit on which
Smith Naa arrested, r charging him
wjth'befog e same person who
had committed s norder in Senth
Carolina ; that he went with the of
ficer to whom ihe warrant was issued
for. the purpose , of iadentifying the
pertonj described j . that 1 thef person
arrested wae the person intended to
he arresfed. Br the defendant, bat

ted the znarder in' 80'ath Caroliua,
On this "special verdict tho Court
adjudged the defendant guilty, and
ordered him to pay a fine of one
hundred dollars and the costs of the
prosecution : and the defendant ap
pealed. Held, The guilty or innocence of
a party charged with crime, or the
false evidence on which the precept
for Lis arrest was based, cannot im
pair the authority which the precept
conveys to make the arrest. And
the protection which it affords is not
restricted to the officer to whom it
is directed, but equally extends to
all who may aid him in its execus
tion. If a warrant issues from com
petent authority, the justification is
full to the officer and all who co
operate with him, and no enquiry is
admissible into the circumstances
under which it waa issued. Obedi
ence to the command of a lawful
precept cannot itself be an offence.
Whatever redrew the prosecutor
may have again3t defendant for ma
licious prosecution, or whatever pun
ishment may be inflicted for his false
evidence cannot impair the protec
tion afforded by the warrant to those

The plaintiff in this case is mort
gagee of lands conveyed to secure
certain notes, and brings this action
to foreclose the- mortgages. The
defence is based upon the ground
that the notes secured had been
paid in 'hole or in part, or that the
plaintiff, as administrator of the
principal obligtr, had or ougnt to
have, assets iu his hands sufficient
to pay off the entire debt. Pend
ing the suit, tha .plaintiff on notice
moved for the appointment of a re
ceiver, on the allegation that tne
property wai inadequate security,
and that . N. Fairly, one ef the
mortgagors, waa receiving the profits
and was insolvent, whereby he Was
in danger of irreparable loss as to
the rents and profits., The receiver
was appointed and the defendants
appealed.. - ;
