Editorial Correspondence.
Charleston, S. 0 May 9. 8;15 p,
m CamD 213 arrived without
event, gay and jolly, all hods level
Yes, there were ever. t; Sheriff Peok,
0 F Walter, S W White and Daniel
Stiller got relieved of surplus cash.
Tne pickpockets failed on O E
Ritchie.
The Confederates have captured
Charleston for a fact and tbe city
bows to the inevitable.
Vast arrangements are made and
tture are few privations. But it ie
night and we can tee litt'e of the
city. We arrived at 5;o0 but have
been busy getting supper, etc. There
has been some unayoidable confusion.
But the nocturnal shades bave
gathered upon us and the weary
frames of tbe veterans are stretched
out for a night's repose from whiob
they havq no fear of the "long roll"
beat.
We think and think, what will
Charleston reveal to us and what
dreamy fancies that we bave been
entertaining will be realized and
even surpassed, While thus we muse
we take up the histcrio telescope and
peer into the past and trace Bome of
tbe steps by which the noble city
has attained her proud heights.
We see the primitive forests as
they are ranged by tbe bear, the
wolf, the panther, the catamount
and, little more, the savage red man,
till 1670 there came a colony and
took up their abode on tbe west
banks of tbe Ashley river, but in
1780 it picked up and planted itself
between the Ashley and Cooper
rivers.
Many French Huguenots cast in
their lots and Charleston was a
growing, thriving settlement.
Her importance was felt in the
Revolutionary War, for an English
fleet of 50 vessels attacked it. Col.
Moultrie had constructed, out of
palmetto logs, the famous fort that
bears his name and tbe English fl:et
f mnd itself more than matched.
'Twas here and then that a British
ball nut off the fhg stuff and tbe
Stars and Stripes fell outside tbe
wall, when the fearless Jasper sprang
over, caught it up and hoisted it
high. For this be was offered a
oommission but declined. The flag
given by the Charleston women to
the regiment was firmly held' in bis
grasp when he fell at Savannah in
1779 when Gen. Linooln and D'Ei.
tang made that terrible bnt fruitless
attack. This flag become the wind
ing sheet of the lamented Jasper.
But Charleston fell into the hands
of the British on May 12, 1780, af
ter a four month's siege and tbe
gallant Lincoln had to band over bis
sword to Qen. Cornwallis, a humili
ation atoned for wben assigned by
Geo. Washington to receive Ccrn
wallu' sword on October 19th, 1781
at Yorktown, Va.
It was here in 1860 that that tborn
n the flesh, negro slavery, formed a
wedge that split the Democratic
party and Stephen A Douglas, with
Squatter Soyereinty plan,'' walked
no more with nig lormer political
household. The results are well
known. With two Democratic tick
eis.- one Whig ticket and one Re
publican ticket, tbe anti-slavery or
abolition party came into power.
Secession followed. Here it took Its
birth and the ordinance was passed
on Deoember 21, I860.
It was Charleston that first heard
the crack and bellowings of that ter
rible war wben Gen. Beauregnard
commanded to fire at 4:30 o'clock
Friday morning, April 12tb, 1861.
Could a canvass rise and stretch
across Charleston bay with a patio-
ratrjio pioture of the grief and suf
fering that followed the echo of that
tot, we would hide our faces from
the soene and hie us homeward. But
sre are not here to see the dark side
of tbe pioture.
Robert iS Lee, famed for engineer
iDg skill in the Mexican wax, set tiu
defenses in order here before he
ook bis place at tbe bead of the
arinj of Northern Virginia, His
work told, and with Gen. Beaure
gard in command Charleston defied
all the Federal naval hosts. Ad
miral Dupont with a fl et of iron
olads attempted to dash past the
forts as Farrago t did in tbe Miss
sissippi but found it more than a
hornets nest. Tbe Keokuk was
gunk and an officer, after getting out
of tbe range, deolared that the shots
from tbe Confederate forts kept
time with the tioks of his watch as
they I ailed upon his ve sel. Tbe
"Il'bs"got the guns from tbe sunken
ship. But Gen. Gilmore Bnoceeded
n netting Battery Wagoner. The
enemy, too, had euo'ed on a plat,
form on driven piles the famous gun
known as "The Swamp Angel,"
which burled its shots fire mile,
landing them in the city. But joy
to the Charlestonians, it burst at the
36 -b shot.
Many of the 8th regiment remem
ber these stirring scenes when For
Sumpter was reduced to a mere mass
or pile of brickbats which Major
John Johnston, now Reotor of en
Episcopal church here, we belieye,
so munipula'ed as to make it still
impregnable. What a defense that
was at Charlie on in tbe GO's, end it
was only wh-n Gen, Sherman ap
proacbed it from the rear that it
was evacuated od February 18, 18C5
But what was the war with all its
horrors, drawiug out four years,
compared with tbe next and greatest
of all events in ber history, the
seismio oonvuleioos of August 31,
1886, when ber 50,000 people were
threatened with instant destruction.
Truly Charleston is riob in her
collection of historic events. But
there is a time for all things and
Charleston has killed the fatted calf
and has musio and dancing now,
THE RALEIGH GREETED
Tboiixands WIMjwm tits "Irene Amid
the Booming of Csnnon-Ths Roll
of the Idlcmni from This l amp.
Charleston, May 10, 8 p. m. The
day has been frought with intensity
of emotion. The decorations are
enormous and the enthusiasm ie
all that fancy can conceive.
It is doubtlees known already
that the Raleigh was grounded
Tuesday evening. The reception,
therefore, took plaoe today.
The Colfax and the Wistoria
went out and saluted the Raleigh
at 9 a. m. Sumpter fired salutes
and tbe grand old ship steamed
slowly into tba bay in graceful cir
cle and rested about a half mile
from tbe wharf. On the escort was
the First Artillery band playing
merrily, "There'll Be a Hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight," "Amei
io," and other airs. Then IheNaval
Roserves on the battery fired 21
guns and dipped their flag when
the Raleigh returned the salute of
21 shots. The Raleigh still has on
her war paint and we felt that had
Captain Coghlan and his men had
on their fighting humor, it would
be a pity for Charleston and her
protegee.
The writer soon took passage on
a row boat, and landing on the
Raleigh, found Captain Coghlan.
and was pleasantly received. By
the way, when asked whether tbe
Raleigh had fired the first gun in
the great battle, he said bo. Ou
passing into the bay a battery fired
on the Raleigh and she re turned
the fire. In this she fired the firni
shot in the campaign on '.he Amer
ican side, but not the first shot in
the battle of Manila. Perfect free
dom was extended on the boat, ave
in tbe officers' quarters, and tin
wiiter had the exquisite satisfaction
of seeing how tbe modern naval
gun Ib manipulated, especially the
operation of breech-loading; also
the operation of tbe torpedo. Ad
officer was asked whether the wa'.le
of the Raleigh would resist such
shots as it sends. He aswered not
any more than a sheet of paper.
The men on the ship took the
keenest interest in visitors, and
seemed to never tire at showing at ii
answering questions. Capt, Cogh
lan and bia t flicera are of course
lionized here.
Tbe program of tbe Raleigh of
course delayed the exercises of Me
morial Day till afternoon. This was
brilliant in the march only. There
was delay and worry in getting the
procession in moving order. It toon
about three hours, to the wearing
out of strength and patience of the
old "Vets."
Tbe formation was made along
Meeting street and we passed up
Hazel street, along Kiog street, then
down Calhoun street to Meeting
street and through Marion Square,
where we paased between Gen. Gor
don on the right aud the statue of
John C Calhoun on the left, then
along King to Calhoun again to
Rutlege to the auditorium, which
seats about 7,000 people.
Tbe grand old Go don could here
be heard probably all over the Ims
mense ball but no one else The
occasion was literally crushed by its
ponderous proportions.
The gathering along the line was
amazing and it is estimated:
that 60,000 people were to be seen
on and along the streets today.
This ends the first great day of
the reunion.
The Confederate fUgs that had
been in the battle we noted as fol
lows: Eighth, 51st, 25th, 69tb, N. U,
together with that of tha 1st N. C.
Batallion, made from silk dresses by
the ladies of Yadkin county.
South Carolina had tbe flags of
the 7th, 3rd and 12th regiments and
one of Hampton's Legion.
Georgia furnished that of the 6th,
Sth, 53rd and 42nd.
Virgiuia showed the colors of the
33rd, Stout wall Jackson's original
regiment.
The Louisiana Batallion of Ar
tillery also had its colors.
The 20th N. C. was not on the
perage.
We may have missed some but
anyway there was a fine array.
The writer took in, or rather
viewed, the venerable St. Michael's
church aud sat in the pew in which
Gen, Washington sat.

A DAY OF RECONNOITERING,
The view of Nslillpra Laid aside Bad
(he Dajr Taken lp la Viewing
Charleston's BUee.
Editorial Correspondence.
Charleston, 8. C, May 12.
Charleston is best seen in a bird's
eye view from the dome of St.
Miobael's ohurcb, which costa yea
10 cents and a olimb as wearyiag
and tedious as mouLting fame's lad
der is for tbe average man. It is
oompaotly built with very, very nar
row streets. Much of it is covered
by good, floe buildings and we have
at least not found the squallor and
slums that we expected and that we
suppose do exist.
The United S'atea custom bouse,
cos ing 3,000,000, we believe, is a
marvel of beauty, durability and
general grandeur.
The post office oontains about as
much beauty and magnifJoeooe as
tbe mind can well conoeive of.
The Oatholio Cathedral was start
ed to outstrip all the plaoe? of wort
a lip in the oity, costing, we learn,
mire than $100,000 and is standing
in wasting appearance for as much
more to finish with.
Tbe Washington Light Infaa ry
has parpetuated is memory with a
beautiful monument and park. The
incoriptiong are elaborate 'o weary.
Tbe South Carolina Military In
stitute has a beautiful park of good
size for the heart of a great oity.
We bad the pleasure of seeing the
boys playing war Thursday evening
as they advanced and fired by battels
lion, by volley aud by battle order.
It had more of tbe true ring in it
than the chimes of St. Miohael's
church tower. That we found by
tbe ear to be badly out of chord and
much wanting in time, best under
stood when we saw that instead of
dock work that we thought struck
the time it was simply a very ordi
nary looking negro that wai pulling
leavers to make the strokes. It is
needless to say that this writer ie
much disappointed with St. Mi.
chael's ohime.
Mt, Pleasant is a fairly nioe little
town and desirable as a quiet refuge
from oity bustle. The Lutheran
Theological Seminary is neat and
apparently well built aa well as well
situated.
Sullivan's Island ia considerably
built up along the front, Fort
Moultrie looks weird and suggestive
of former military orudeness. The
magazines are most interesting to
the writer and were explored as far
aa the watery floors allowed with
out actually wading through dark
and gloomy recesses that had to be
traced as the blind do without guide.
The new part of the fort, where
tbore mighty disappearing guns
rest, being great concrete massi i,
cannot be approached by outsiders.
This one battery seema to be snf
Bcient to protect Charleston.
Not a garden vegetable seems to
be produced on Sullivan's Island.
The salt water cedar is pretty and
forms one of its best ornamental
trees, live oak exoeli for dense
shade. It is beautiful for its even-,
ness and dense foliage, making a
pleasing impression from a distance.
The Ield of Palms is taken by
all tourists. There's the ocean in
all its grandeur, the sand hills al
most mountain high, the palm in its
high beauty only as you attach
sentimentaliam with it. But the
Ferris wheel is there aa is the whirl
iag trapeza aud imitation race track
for the dummy steeds. The im
monse pavallion is there where, on a
faultless floor, hundreds of the gay
may skip and tip the light fantastic
toe to the enchanting musio. It
the veritable counterpart of the oity
of delight in the story of Ben Hnr
The whole trip from Charleston to
M.t. Pleasant and ever the islands of
Sullivan and Palm and back oosta
20 cents if you don't get boat lines
mixed.
The oemetery, known by different
names, aa you cross lines not well
defined to a stranger, ia graud be
yond anything the writer has yet
seen, it ib amazing what time, labor
and wealth is bestowed on the dead
w'lora we can't help while neglect
of the living often shames our oivi
lization. But it is ennobling senti
mentaliam that attf.ohes beauty and
order to tbe external marks of the
presenoe of the dead .
The many hundreds of little tots
that stick out their heads at the
Charleston Confederate Veteran's
Orphanage indicate that a vast numv
ber of the heroio Southern women
fell in the struggle to build up their
broken fortunes and the old yoemen
in tbeir unwisdom sought marital un
ions with young women only to start
great families and then die, leaving
burdens too great to be borne even
by tbe young mothers in widow
bood, and ohildren strangely small
are waifs.
Cahnrrne Men at Top. -
Camp 212, our people, carries off
the prize at Charleston. This ia no
surprise, but it is a pleasure to pub
lish it.
A fine iron safe was offered far
the camp going to Charleston with
the largest delegation. This dis
tinction fell to Cabarrus, and in
addition to this the 65-year-old
boys who left here last Tuesday
marched at the head of the grand
procession in Charleston. You
I in't down good people. We feel
s ) sorry for Charlotte.
Mlllloue Ulven Away.
It is oertain ly gratifying to tbe
public to know of one concern in
tbe land who are not afraid to be
generous to the needy and Buffer

New Discovery for Consumption,

Later This afternoon at 3 30
his mother and other relatives
were summoned to his bedside,
his couditiou being considered
well nigh hopeless. He has been
unconscious since 11 this morn

that he is sinking rapidly.
It is most distressing, and the
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to his wife and l datives.
Only ten days ago he appeared to

Mr. Schenck was operated

Tribute to Bavid Nchenok, Jr. ,m
In the Greeneboro Eeoord we
find the following beautiful
tribute, by Col. John N Staples, a
brother attorney, to David
Sjhonok, Jr., who died Wednes
day night :
"He stood looking into the
break of the morning, full of
hope, and inspiration born of
genius 1 behind him were the
sepulchers of noble anoestry,
around him were the shrines ot
domestio love, and before him
the beckoning muses of great
achievement and professional re
nown; but, alas I the shadows be
gan to fall around him, the voices
of evening called him and ere the
meridian splendors of his day on
earth began, he vanished into the
night.
"Then, (let us) bew before this
last Decree of God. who leadetb
all that have
"Their being from naught, yes, all that
e er ulmll live,
Unto their end and oertain destinv.
Though we may fail to comprehend his
plan.
" 'From the bounds of time and
space set free,' who knows
whither may roam his immortal
spirit i c torn contention and
strife, and the environments of an
earthly life, he yentures out into
the unknown Beyond where let
us hope, his morning, begun on
this earth, may burst into the
effulgence of an eternal day,
whose brightness shall never fade,
and whose sun shall never set."
A Change in Hie Nail Nervlce.
Seeing and hearing the numerous
complaints offered by the people of
Concord on account cf the mail
saoks beiig torn to pieoes at tbe
depot these nights when thrown
from No. 35, the Southern has
changed its service in that respeot.
Instead of throwing it at night
now it is brought back on the early
morning train. ThiB change pre
serves our mail and gets to the peo
ple as early, and the morning
train is never late as it is made up
at Charlotte. This much has been
gaiaed by our "kicking."

Can Coninell Vaccination.
There seemed to be some
doubt about the constitutionality of
au ordinance concerning vaccina
tion. The fcllowinar from today's
Ilaleigh News and Observer sots
the matter at rest :
Some sixty or seventy people
in Raleigh, principally negroes
and the more ignorant class of
white peoplo, have refused to be
vaccinated.
They will at once be compellad
to comply with the law. They
would already have been dealt
with, but for the fact that Mayor
Powoll has been waiting to get
the opinion of emmieut lawyers
as to the validity of the ordinance.
They were unanimous in the
opinion that the law is constitu
tional and will stand the test of
the courts.
As soon as these opinions were
