riie Press and Banner A.3UKVILLE, S. O. Wednesday, Jan. 26, 1881. The Wont'er. Tho weather for the last month ha* be< i Without a precedent in this section of th< State. Since tho heuintiin^ of the Christina? holidays we have lia l but ocensianal days o sunshine, while the fall of ruin, sleet. nn<i snow ha* he t> greater than for any similai period within the leeollection of "the o.ile-i B inhaMtant." At times the ground has heen I so froze i and covered with snow ns iiiniiw i< I cause a temporary suspension ?>t" business in I town. Farmers noil others whose oceupa1 tlons ordinarily call them Into the open air, | a* a rule, have been forced lo suspend ih<>i? I every day labors, and direct tlu-lr undivided 9 energies to the Important business of provid itig fuel with whleh to save themselves and their families from free/ins; with the eold, In spite of I lie efforts at the business of keepIg leg warm, we presume that there has been 1 at least some discomfort felt by various famlr lb-sin the country on aeeouut of iin Insutll clcney of tl e-wood, while we know that some of our citizens in Abbeville have bordered on that condition to describe which might perhaps require a stronger word than "discomfort.'" The public, highway* of the enmity have never beer, in a worse condition than at tl is time, nnd it uiiuht be truthfully sjiid. that the roa is leading into the towns are now almost . Impassable for vehicles. Owing to this fact, together with the increased demand for fireWood, our citizens have cvperi. need great difficulty In procuring the necessary fuel, even at greatly enhanced prices. At present any wood t'*at comes on the street is eageily I soiiptit after at prices heretofore unknown to ^ uk. A small loud of wood will now readily t command from .<1.0) to Last Fall the demand for loads of ful 1 lialf-cord was not viual to the supply. The nnpropltious weather has not only diminished Hie business of the commercial poitlon of the community, but farm-work for a month has been absolutely at a standstill, work of any kind has be . done, and except tor the advantages which we have in tlie stoek-luw. we won'd ind-;ed be sadly behind. Under the new order of things, however, we have 110 new fences to build, or old ones to rep iir, and as soon as the weather permits, we can commence plowing. Down In Kdtierield County, though, where they build fences mound their farms, and ptita rock In one end of their meal bags to ha lance t'i?> "horse turns" which arc scut to mill, lliey are In a lamentable tlx. I.Monday at twelve o'clock snow was precipitated, and continued to fall uniil the c ose of the day, but owing to the warmer temperature of the ground at the time, by far Hip iHfi!er purt ot it meiuxi as sum u n-n, and yesterday morning there were but frw traces of It to be s-en anywhere.

Lee. ; Editors Pkkss and Kannek: j In your interesting addenda to the Atlanta I Constitution's article a* to the whereabout* anil oeeunatioiiK of Confederate (.'eneritls now j living, I think you have fallen Into several errors of fael, especially In regard to Gen. Stephen D. Lee. Let mequoie what yon said: ".Stephen D. Lee, a nativeof Anderson coun"t.v, but who went to the war from the State of "Mississippi, was a Major-fieiieral of cavalry. "The war left him penniless but afterward he "married a rich widow In .Mississippi, and is | "now In comfortable circumstance*." I 1. I think (Jen. Lee i? not a native of Anderson county, but that he was born lit Charleston. and his father moved to Anderson, where he lived for many years. I am not sure of I this, however. i 2. Hp did not enter the Confederate army i from Mississippi. He was a Graduate of West Point, an oliieer of the United states army, I serving in tlie West, and whenSouth duo inn I seceded. he resinned the position and lmmedtjately entered the service of theS'tatc In imuI i around Cimileston. afterwards Joining the ; Hampton I,c; Ion, anil from that eommand he i rose in the artillery branch of Hie scrviee. in . I which he "won his spurs" at the second battle . of Manassas. When he Was promote I to Hrlg.! adicr-Ueneral. he was sent to Mis-l-stppl, and I served chietly in that region until tlie war > closed. r 3. He was uota Major-Oeneral of cavalry at the close of the war, although he may have commanded cavalry while he held that rank, . hut his promotion to I.leutenant-G< neial guvc - him a corps in the Western at my. 4. He did not marry a "rich widow." His f | wife was a Miss Harrison,daughter of an enii 1 nent lawyer, I believe, wliolives at Columbus, c | Mia is 5. At present Gen. Leo Is the President of - the Mississippi Agricultural ('nlleue. e j With the exception of the Inaccuracies c | pointed out, I bellevoyour statement is tolerably correct In regard to Gen. Lee, only that | he was not penniless when the war closed. if i It Is meantto convey the idea that he was a ny ' poorer than thousands of others without reaily money or occupat ion; He was about oi' ! a par with other Confederates, w ho came back to their families In 18T>, for Gen.

He engaged in planting and lost " heavily, then was in the lite Insurance husl" ] ness for awhile, and last year was called lo !|; preside over tue Agricultural College. Let us . \ add that Stephen I). Lee is an exemplary p I Christian, and one of the purest, noblest of " | South Carolina's contribution to the galaxy ''of Confederate Generals. His modestv and " i meritare too littie known tothe people of his p I native State, and I am rot surprised that so ; little of his life's h'story lit familiar to the cd' j I tors of one of our most prominent new spaj pers.

Kvery week we hear or' ! some one losing a horse. On Sunday night, January 2. l^Sl, I had a mu'e stolen from me, | and did not hear of it in two weeks, when I | heard that Home one ha I taken a mule from a negro twelve miles below Edgefield Court | House. I went to see it. and found it to be I my mule. It was taken from n negro hoy 011 ! Monday, 3 Janu iry. He had r d leu over sixty miles, when he stopped to warm and cat. He then offered to trade, and was soon caught telling lies about his home, where he was from. Ac. Altera few short words with the gentleman who took the mule fom him, he threatened to kill him, and drew a pistol, but it would not shoot. He then run of! toward f Abbeville, and was followed a few miles, but t not ciuglit. The same night a horse was stolen in that neighborhood, and tracked toward Abbeville. So it may he well enough for us to look out for such a fellow, and keep 11 our horses locked up tit night. The thief re 1 furred to Is :i hoy. is or 51 years old: was raised aboutPue West, and lived the-o until inst 11 year, wheli ho rati iuvay to Anderson.
