NOT "JCDGE" EWABT YET. He Did Hot Receive m Quorum Vote la the Senate The Judicial Krmlae a LonK Way Oft Yet. Kewi and Observer, June 22., On reference to the Senate Journal, page 342, the vote for H. G. Ewart for Judge; for Robert A. McCall for Solicitor, and Wm. H. Wilson Clerk of the Court of Jones's district, stood 22 ayes, names being given, White of Alexander, excused from voting. It took 26 to make a quorum. Judge Starbuck decided that there would be no election if there were no quorum. The point decided by the Su- picmc vouri was simply mat me Legislature had a right to elect. It may be, to be perfectly fair, that Judge Starbuck's opinion rested on the additional fact that the point of "no quorum" was made, which does not here appear, but the lawyers can work that out. Meanwhile the fact remains that Ewart did not receive a rum vote in the Senate. Feb Hill Stobiks. No. 8. A STORY OF TilEHOyE GUARDS. Written for Tub Moboaxtom IIbbald, BY J.

A wag, when told that George Wash ington threw a dollar over the natural bridge of Virginia, replied that a dollar went further in those days than now. The wag, though witty, was wrong ; for a dollar never went so far as now, if it be invested in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which is universal ly acknowledged to be a specific for consumption, bronchitis and all wast ing diseases.

It was late in the summer or the fall of the year 1864 that the regi ment of Home guards to which I was attached, lay in camp in a pleasant and healthful .spot, on a pine ridge in the eastern part of the Palmetto State. There were no young men in cur ranks. We were all presumed to be men above the age of forty five, and conse quently unfitted for the exacting duties and severe hardships of an active campaign. When drawn up in line, I must say that the ar ray of beards sprinkled with gray, showed that, on the score of age, we were pretty well entitled to the exemption from active service ac corded us. Yet nowhere could there have been gathered together a hardier set of men than com posed our regiment. Most of them, by their previous mode of life at home, by their toils on the farm and the discipline of sylvan sports, had been so hardened by exerise in the open air, that they were capable of undergoing hard ship's and privations that would have broken down the young recuits who were called to the "front. We had but fer 'soldierly duties to perform. To answer to our names at roll call, to mount guard around the ramp, and to undergo the daily drill of one or two hours, was all that was required of us in ourpresent situation. Time would have hung heavy on our' hands but for the fact that the regiment was drawn altogether from the adjoining counties, and each of us found himself associated with old friends and neighbors with? whom he had for years lived on terms of friendship and intimacy. Now and then, by some means. a stranger whom no one among us knew, was enrolled in our regi ment, and had a place assigned him in some one of its companies. Generally, such new-comers soon found friends and associates and became' known to us all. One day at the roll call a new name, that of Jacob Grier, caught my attention ; and as he responded to the call, turning to notice this late accession to our company. I saw a man slightly built, but vig orous and active in appearance, only four or five files away. His face was one of a type which fre quently occurs among the back woodsmen of the Souththin, swarthy, with coal-black lank hair a well formed aquiline nose, firmly set lips, and small, keen, steady btack eves, under a projecting brow. It was by no means a bad face; cm the contrary it was rather prepossessing, and made me feel that one could trust him, in the most desperate emergency, to stand by a comrade unflinchingly to the last. His expression was calm and composed, but standing there in line with some five or six hundred other men, he seemed isolated and alone, as if he was utterly un conscious of their presence and had no part or lot with them. For him they did not seem to exist. And yet he did not seem to be abstracted or lost in a reverie. His was not the face of a man to be drawn away from things around him and to lose himself in thought. I felt assured that he had by na ture such a mental constitution as would prompt him to notice every thing about him with a keen and lively interest ; and that nothing around him now attracted his at tention or seemed in the slightest "degree to interest him, so.ncwhat puzzled me. During the days that followed, I saw but little of him. He seemed to keep aloof from all, and to have fellowship with none. -I never heard the sound of his voice but when he answered to his name at roll call. No one knew who he wa, or whence he came. About ten days after Grier joined our regiment, some little matter'of business, connected with my military" duties, called me to our C6lonel's tent just after dress parade. He was busily eogaged in writing out instructions to some officer, and an orderly stood in waiting to receive and deliver them. I seated myself on a camo ches: and awaited till he should be at leisure to attend to the affair between us. As he finished writing out his instruction? and handed them to the orderly, Jacob Grier, our new recruit presented himself at the ta ble before him. Colonel Gresham looked up enquiringly. ."Colonel" said he, coming at once to the business in hand, "I want a leave of absence from camp." "I can't grant you leave of ab sence but for a very short time, "returned the Colonel in his quiet manner, "Only for a few hours." Grier stood meditatively a few seconds before he spoke. "A few hours will do me." "I can only make it twelve hours. You must return to an swer the morning roll call. Where do you wish to go?" Grier hesitated perceptibly be fore he answered : "Georgetown." That will be a trip of fifty miles, and in something less than twelve I hours!" said Coloner Gresham, looking up in surprise. "Very well I can make it," re turned Griersententiously. The Colonel made out his leave and handing it to Grier, saying: You must be in your place at morning roll call." "I hall be here," replied Grier. "And, Colonel, I would wish the loan of this till I return, and he touched a heavy revolver that lay on the rode table. "You can have it, but don't lose it by the way, and be sure to re turn it tomorrow. Grier's face lighted up with a grim smile of satisfaction. He eagerly seized the revolver, thrust it into his belt and expressing his thanks, left the tent hurriedly as one who has not a moment to lose. "Can -you trust that man with your revolver Colonel?" asked I, when Grier was beyond hearing. "May he not play the deserter and appropriate it as his own ? "No danger of that "returned Gresham confidently, "I wrote to his former Captain in Virginia, making enquiries about him, and find he is a brave and trusty fel low ; and, besides that, he has a good, honest face that is the best of all recommendations." I said no more, but almost im mediately left the tent on my way to my own quarters. Ia passing along I saw Grier issue from a clump ot small oaks, leading out his pony. It was a dark chestnet animal scarcely twelve hands in height, its smoth coat profusely flecked with white. I recognized it at a glance, as belonging to that small breeu of horses that are found wild on the islands and marshes of the sea coast, fleet, hardy and unflagging creatures, that for a long rapid journey can scarcely oe equalled. I watched Grier as he mounted this beauti ful pony, and rode of! oc his way, in the dusk of the evening, to a town somewhat more than twenty five miles away. I thought it a strange freak that he should un dertake this night ride of fifty miles, when he could tarry but a few minutes at most in the town to w hich he had set out. It would be midnight before he could reach that point and he would find all doors closed and every one abed. What could he want in the old town at that still hour of the night? Unless he intended to de sert, or to carry information to some spy or runner in the pay of evemy it was a strange mystery. In spite of the favorable report ot his character received by our Col onel, I did not expect to see him in camp again. The next day, in the gray of the morning, when we were taking our places in line, I saw a man ride up, hurredly dismount, and securing his horse to a sapling in a grove of oaks, near to the spot where our company was forming, step forward and take his place ia the line, just 10 time to answer to the roll call. The company ser geant, perhaps not hearing the response, called out the name a second time, and looking up en quiringly, seemed a little surprised to see Jacob Grier in his usual place. His face was as sad, per haps even sadder than usual, very pale and stern, and there was a stare in his eyes that gave him a distressed look. His sleepless night and ride of fifty miles cer tainly told upon him. He disap peared from my sight when the company was dismissed, and I saw him no more that day. About three days later there was a riple of excitement in the camp. About three o'clock in the afternoon a small squad of men well mounted and armed, alighted at our camp and made their way in haste to Colonel Gresham'a quarters. In camp rumors fly fast. In a few minutes quite a crowd was gath ered at the Colonel s tent, it was noised abroad throughout the camp, that on the Wednesday night previous a double murder had been committed in an adjoin ing county, and that the sheriff of that county, with his posse and a warrant, had come for the arrest of the murderer. There was a little excitement in the camp as the person charged with crime was said to be a member of our regiment. I soon made my way through the crowd massed around the tent and, gaining admittance, was startled at the disclosures made by the officer who came to make the arrest. It was beyond all dispute that a murder had been committed about midnight of that very day when Jacob Grier had obtained bis leave of absence from the camp. A woman, the wife of Grier who bad been absent from home two years serving with his regiment in Vir ginia, was one of the victims. The other was a stranger who had taken up his abode with her, at her humble home some three or four months previously. She was said to be a handsome and prepos sessing woman for her station in lite; but the demoralizing effects of the war the long absence of her husband and the uncertainty that he would survive to return home, all contributed to efface from her mind those tender recollections of mutual affection which might have saved her from guilt and degrada tion. The serpent crept into ber humble paradise, and she became a fallen creature, no more hoping, 1 ? - e . . longing, praying lor me return 01 the husband she had wronged, but dreading that event and trembling with terror at the thoughtof meet ing him again. A terrible retribution, however, as sudden as severe, had fallen upon her and her guilty pai amour.
