Biographical Sketch of Colonel
Withers.
Colonel Robert E. Wither?,, the
Virginia gentleman who heeii
thus honored by the representatives
of. the Old Dominion in the Getaeral
Assembly, was born in Osunpbell
county, Vjv.. iu 1821. He graduated
at the University of Vifgini, and be
came ft practitioner of medicine, to
which he devoted himself exclusive
ly for nineteen years. He resided
first in Campbell and then in Dan
ville, going to the latter place in 18
53, and there remained until the
late civil war.
Colonel Withers entered the war
at its beginning, and in April, 1861,.
came to this city in command of a
battalion. Hare he was nined by
Governor LetcWs to the command
of the Eighteenth Virginia regiment.
He participated in the battles of
First M amuses, Seven Pines, and
(Jaine's-Mill. In the hint-named he
fell dreadfully wounded while lead
ing his regiment in the final - charge,
in which the enemy was routed. He
received wounds through the right
lung, the pelvis, and arm. together
w,kha. wound iu the scalp- 8 fear
&irV indeed, was he wounded that
his recovery was considered almost
hopeless. He, however, so fur re
recovered as to feel that he coujd re
turn, to the field. Several times he

in the" active service, but was so
much disabled that each trial was
found to be in vain. Colonel With
ers' indeed, has not yet been entire
ly restored from the eii'eets of h s
fearful wounds.
He was before the close of the war
assigned to the prison post at D.m
villev and held it until he surrendered
to General Wright on the 22d of
April. 18t5.
When. thfi war ended he was too
much of a cripple for the country
practice of medicine, and seeking
some pursuit better adapted to the
physical condition, he became edit
or, first of the Linehbmg News, and
afterwards of the Richmond Enqui
rer. The Colonel showed readiness
and facility as a writer, and wrote
with. vigor and force, and we can say
that for this honorable,, fair, and
manly conduct as an: editor he was
an ornament of the profession.
In the fpr'mg oflStf3.be was nom
inated for the omce of Governor, and
canvassed the Sjate against the Rad
ical party and the then pending Un
derwood Constitution. He so
a roused, public opinion against the
Constitution that the military au
thority (General Can by.), foaiatig, it
rejection, postponed the vote upon
it.
Before the campaign was over the
' Liberal movement," as it was then
called, was set on foot. It contem
plated a union of Liberal Republi
cans and Democrats, and Colonel
Withers being rather ultra, it was
tihought, for that time, the State
Uaiug; still out of the Union he
yielded to the wishes of many friends
and withdrew. Governor " Walker
was then nominated upon thefi-shmn
ticket, and the grand triumph
of that ticket followed, whjc'n. is fa
miliar to all the readers otue Dis
Hitch. For Colonel With ire rs's
magnanimity at that time it has
been generally thought that he
(Should have been honored with
some prominent position, and hi
friends thought it a good opportuni
ty, and nominated him as Lieutenant-Governor
in August last. Gen.
Kemper was nominated over him by
the Conservative Convention, and
all parties combined to bestow upon
him the second place, which he ac
cepted under a sense of duty, in
spite of his just pride and self-ros-pect.
In every relation in life Colonel
Withers has proved his loyalty, val
ur, truth, and, virtue; and as Senator
from this Commonwealth will howor
the office he-has be$n placed, in.
. Gen. Gordon's Speech on the Sal
ary Bill. Washington,'. Jan. 12.
The speech f General Gonlo.i. of
Georgia, in the Senate to day on the
'salary' question was listened to with
great attention, especially that por
tion of it which partook of the na
ture of a personal explanation, and
which referred to the surrender of
General Lee at Appomattox. Mr.
GoRkvn made it because, he said, he
had been charged with "being influ
enced by personal prejudice against
the Administration.
He said he,was one of those who
held a command in the Confe iera te
army when it surreuderd to General
Grant at Appoiwattox, and until that
time he had never known what grief
was. The negotiations occupied
four days and four nights, and dur
ing all that time rtot one word of
exultation escaped the lips of the
Federal commanders. In fact, they
evaded all conversation relative to
battles in which the Union arms had
been successful, and spoke onlv of
those engagements in which they
bad been defeated. It sank deep
nto his heart, and he mentioned the
fact to'prove that he was not person
ally hostile to President Grant.

v Our Princely Printing.
The editor of the Port Ro)-al Com
mercial, a Republican paper, but one
apparently as sincerely opposed to
the frauds anaextravsigances f the
State government fs the Conserva
tive sheets are,' ha? written to a num
ber of treasurers of wealthy 'Northern
States, to ascertain the expenditures
for public printing lat year, with a
view of comparing them with urs.
He has , received replies , from the
States of .Iowa, Massachusetts, Penn
sylvania, Ohi and Maryland. The
sum total of the cost of public print
ing in the five States was $385,135.
95. The total amount appropriated
by South Carolina was $450,000,Go,
yr nearly $79,000 more than the five
wealth States combined.
In Iowa the printing cost $121,068.
including the publication of the
laws in all the papers if the State,
which expense, tbe Tfrtwsurer says,
will now be avoided by abolishing
the cnst'im.
In Massachusetts the sum paid
was $8'J,70tf.'i0, including some ex
traordinary work amounting to
about $20,)00.
In Pennsylvania the amount paid
was $73.37774.
In Ohio .$02,923.83.
In -Maryland, the only Democrat
ic State heard from, the cost ivas on
ly $38,000.
The aggregate population of these
five States is between nine and ten
millions, or more than twelve times
greater than that of Souih Carolina,
and the aggregate assessed value of
their property more than thirty
times that of this State.
These are facts and figures which
should make our corrupt rulers
p..u-e, and impel our taxpayers to
take speedy steps for the rescue of
the State ere we be entirely undone.

COL. PIATT'S ESCAPE.
The President's Son and Brother in law
Calling at his Home Armed with
Heavy Sticks An Assault Contem
plated. Washington, Jan The state
ment telegraphed from here last
night iu regard to a card published
iu yesterday's Capital was incorrect.
I learn from General Banning, who
is stopping at Col. Piatt's hoime,
that the persons who called there
ana asked Jr Col.' Piatt were Jim
Casey and Lieut.-Col. Fred Grant.
As Col. Piatt was absent Gen. Ban
ining, on being told, that the men re
fused to give their names, went to
the door, whereupon the two took
their departure. The way the as
sault was planned showed that se
rious injury was intended Col. Piatt.
Ulhen the servant went to answer
i he beil he found young Grant at
the door accompanied by another
large man, both being armed with
heavy sticks. They asked if Col. Pi
att was in, and the servant replied
that he would see, and asked what
iirtines. Fred Grant said that did
not matter. The servant went down
stairs to the Colonel's library, and
not finding the Colonel, in to'.dGen.
oannmg mat there were two men
at the trout door who wanted to see
Col Piatt and refused to give 'their
names.
"Who are they ?" asked the Gen
eral.
'I think one is young Mr. Grant,"
replied, the servant.
General Banning hurried up stairs
the Colonel's library is in the
basement and on reaching the hall
he was met by Casey and rred.
Grant,, who had entered the house
and placed themselves in a position
to knock the Colonel on the bead.
As soon as he appeared, finding the
wrong man in, they took a hurried
leave. What makes this piecte of
mlffcinisin all tike- worse is the fact
that Mrs. Piatt is in feeble health
and any excitement would probably
prove fatal. Col Piatt spends most
of his time at his offce. He passes
the White Howse twice a day, and
it was not necessary to go like as-
assins to his house if the two
brave champions of the Adminis
tration wished to attack him. Gen.
Banning savs if the President is en
titled to two assassins he is anxious
to know how many a Congressman
is allowed.
