A Georgia Renegade co Help Pros
ecute Our Fellow Citizens?
Let the Hearts and Hands of alt Edge
field Men Be Open!
We had almost said a nasty, dirty, filthy
dog. And so he is. And what is the use
of gentility or logia in such a case as this?
HU name is Emory Speer, a North Geor
! "gia renegade who tried to play the role of
Mahone in onr sister State, but had not
weight enough to carry through his traitor
ous schemes." In lieu of playing Mahone
in Georgia, he is now coming to South
Carolina to work with Sara Melton-and
. with drilled witnesses and packed juries
in the effort to convict honest and honora
ble South Carolina citizens.
This man Speer-he is of Athens if we
mistake not-has been tendered by Attor
, hey-General Brewster the position of spe
cial United States Attorney in the South
Carolina election cases; and he has ac
cepted. He is now in Washington study
ing the cases-cs prepared by Butter
worth, the special United States Attorney
of last spring, and will arrive in Colombia
.TTThe latter part of the present wetk
The preparation of the cases on the part o
the government is said to be complete
and it now looks cs if the trials will be
began on Monday next. -
And now let the hearts and hands of all
Edgefieid men-yea, and women-be open
The stirring appeal of Coonty Chairman
Bettis is before you. Hasten forward with
your contributions, and teach Emory Speer
and all other wretched renegades that the
people of Edgefieid stand by their fellows
through thick and thin, and scorn to trem
ble before Melton, Speer, or any or all
minions of the Radical Federal Adminis
tration. .
Proud and Emphatic Success of the
State Fair.
The State Fair in Columbia, which clos
ed on Friday afternoon last, after continu
ing four davB, verified all predictions, and
showed the most splendid exhibition and
tie vastest crowd any South Carolina Fair |
h ut ever had. A simple statement wilj
prove the latter assertion. On Thursday
-the great day-the gate receipts were
$3,800, demonstrating a pay attendance of j
7,000 adults. Making a just allowance
for children at half price, there were 8,000
.tickets sold. The exhibitors, attendants
and members of the Society added at least
a thousand to the list. A crowd of 9,000
people is large. And notwithstanding the
crowding thousands that came from every
quarter, everybody was provided for, and
no one had cause to complain. Columbia
spread herself for once in the way of fur
nishing hospitable and generous accommo
dations, and we think all will concede her
fall and satisfactory success in the main.
The mechanical and machinery depart
m?nt was very full, and attracted a large
others. The process of ginning cotton by
improved machinery 6eemed to excite gen
eral interest.
VThe stock exhib?s was more than fine;
Jjt -?ww>ia.Uj magnificent- The Jersey
cattle attracted much attention and were
universally admired. The number of this
'kind of stock is increasing and its valne
and superiority were fully exemplified at
this Fair.
The poultry department was particular
ly fine and extensive. The number and
quality of fowls placed it in advance of j
anything of the kind that has preceded it.
The variety seemed almost endless, and all
were surprised and delighted at the mag
nificent display. The varieties exhibited
by CoL A. P. Butler, of Edgefieid, and
Mr. Pelham-Clinton, of Richmond, Va.,
received their just meed of praise.
But it is vain for us to essay a protract
ed account of this great Fair. To do it
justice would require the whole of a daily
paper for one solid week.
All of the amusements were eminently
beautiful and successful-the Governor's
Guard 3 Hop, the Promenade Concert, the
State Ball, the Japanese Pyrotechnics, the
Grand Fire Works, the German of the
South Carolina Club.
All South Carolinians may well feel
proud of the State Fair just closed.
Chi
Carolina, Cumberland Gap and
cago R. R.
The annual meeting of the Board of |
Directors of the Carolina, Cumberland
Gap and Chicago Railroad was held in
Aiken on Tuesday of last week. The
meeting of the Stockholders was held on
the following day. In our next issue we
hope to be able to state definitely what
was done at these meetings and to add
something hopeful as regards the prospect8
of the early completion of the road. We
learn that there are new and promising
schemes a?oo?.
Berckmans at Our State Pair.
Mr. P. J. Berckmans, of the Fruitland
r Augusta, made a splendid
fruit and ornamental trees,
o showed 46 varieties of evergreens, 74
varieties of apples, 46 varieties of pears, 31
varieties of peaches, besides quantities of
pl un?s,' apricots, cherries, almonds and
nectarines and Japanese persimmons, with
the fruit of this tree also.- He showed a
tree of tho Japanese persimmons only one
year old bearing fruit. This is something
very remarkable. No one raises the ever
greens so extensively as Mr. Berckmansi
and His collection here could not be sur
passed in the United States. He was
awarded eight premiums-one for the
b2st collection of fruit trees, and best
collection of apples, of peaches, of Japan
ese persimmons, of pears and of miscel
laneous fruits ; one premium for the larges!
collection of evergreens and one for the
best fruit of Japanese persimmons. In
fact, Mr. Berckmans, as usual, took about
all the premiums he contended for.
Osceola.
" Osceola," the Jersey bull exhibited at
the State Fair by our young friend, Mr
W. T. Butler, of the Hamburg section,
was awarded the first premium in bis
class ; and some of the very finest stock in
South Carolina was shown against him.
He is a magnificent animal, and would
win first premiums anywhere.
The Philadelphia Times says :
u The two parties art now facing each
other for the great conflict, with near
ly even chancee of success. They are
both on. trial, the Republicans with
theiPresident and the Senate, and
the Democrats with the House, and
the party that serves the couti try best
wiU best serve itself in the election
of the next President."

For the A0.verl1p.3r,
Hi si orv of company B, Sixth 8.
Ci Cavalry ny rapt. J. J.
Boneo.
The writer having been solicited by some
of the members of Co. B, 6th S. C. Caval
ry, to write a brief history of said compa
ny, rwdially committed himself to under
take this, to him very .onerous task
onerous because he feels entirely incom
petent to do justice to this command that
made for itself a name which it has just
cause to be proud of.
We hope we will be pardoned if we
here give a brief account of ourselves du
ring the months of the late war, prior to
our becoming a member of Co. B.
Early m May, 1 SGI, the writer proceed
ed, with the Edgefield Hussars, Capt. M_
C. Butler, as ?st Lieut, to Columbia 8.
C., to join and become a part of the Hamp
ton Legion. Remained with this lamons
command until the May following. Our
term of enlistment having ended, and our
presence being much needed at home, we
returned. In the month of July follow,
ing, found ourselves a member of Capt. J.
B. Holmes' Co. of State troops. In No
I ve m ber were ordered to Charleston, was
offered and accepted the position of Or
derly Sergeant of said Co., which was let
ter C, of the 7th Regt S. C. Reserves,
Col.'Thoa, G. Bacon. . '
This Regiment servedits* term of 90
days near Jacksonboro, in Colleton Co.
The writer on the disbanding of this Reg
iment, offered, and was accepted, as a mem
ber of Co. B, 6th S. C. Cavalry, Capt,
Lewis Jones. Capt. Jones is toa well
known in Edgefield to require any com
ment from ?B. In the service of bis
country, as in his State and County, he
exhibited that same firm, decisive charac
ter, and to the writer was ever kind and
courteous. James J. Gregg was 1st Lieut.
Lieutenant Gregg held himself too much
aloof from his men to be popular with
them. He, however, spared no pains in
providing everything possible in the way
of equipments, clothing and provisions foflj
both men and horses, and hie own pleth
oric purse waa always accessible to the
humblest of bis men, for which he certain
ly deserved the gratitude of the entire com
mand. And, like the^maternal branch of j
his family, he had plenty of " pluck.
John Ward was 2d Lieut, and was
suspended from tbe Company at the time
we joined it.
John Bau gk et was junior 2d Lieut
Lieutenant Bausket was a member of the
Edgebeld Hussars when we^were connect
ed with it, and we bad tested bis qualities
as a soldier while he was a private in the
Hussars. As an officer he was frank, im
pulsive and gallant to a fault He was
very kind to his men and freely shared all
their hardships and privations. But we
expect hereafter, in these papers, to have
much more to say of him. Samuel G
Cot h ran was Orderly Sergeant ; and a most
excellent officer and gentleman be was.
On tbe 27th February, 1863, we, in
company with several others, reported to
Co. B. for dnty, and was formally muster
ed into service. At this time the Com
pany was encamped about one mile south
of Jacksonboro, a station on the Charles
ton and Savannah Railroad, and a few
???a'r?d^?rcls^?s^nSo'^
remainder of the Regiment were stationed
at or near Adams' Run.
Company B. did picket duty at Ben
nett's Point, at the jonction of Ashepoo
River and Musquito Creek, the latter tx
stream of Edisto River. "The Point'
was 15 miles or more from camp. Six
teen privates and two non-comeisaioned
officers composed the picket, who remain
ed on duty a week at the time. The re
serve picket were quartered at the aban
doned residence of a Mr. Mathews, called
the White House, and the plantation was
known as '. Bear Island." On the 4th of j
March, in company with Capt Jones, Lt
Bausket and three enlisted men, I made
my first visit to the " While House."
We went down the Edisto in a small boat
to take rations to the pickets, found them
without provisions; they were roasting
and eating corn.
The land on " Bear Island" not being
is cultivation the year previous, bad
grown up, unmolested, in the most loxo
nent and extravagant manner, in weeds
and grass. The marsh grass was fonr to
six feet high. On our return to camp
next day, we saw heavy clouds of smoke
rising, and the greedy flames too mount
ing high in the air, rushing madly on this
exceedingly combustible matter, pushed,
it appeared, willingly by a vigorous March
wind. It was a grand sight and must
have been a fair representation of a fire
on a western prairie.
On the 8th of March was my first trip
to Bennett's Point on picket James
Briggs andi were on post from 1 o'clock
P. M. until 12 at night I quote from a
letter of the 10th written at the "White
House." "A strong wind prevailed,
which caused the waters to be much agi
tated, and during the long hours that we
were on watch we heard no sound save
the rushing wind and angry waves madly
washing the banks. Al 12 o'clock we
were relieved and tried to sleep, bnt our
)ed (a plank) soon became very hard, and
he wind began to slacken. Then we were
?esieged by a swarm of sand flies, so called
tere. But they appear to be the same in
ect that we call " black gnats," These
nsects were annoying in the extreme. One
night roll himself up in a blanket, or any
hing else, as close ag possible, and they
rould yet penetrate and find bis blood,
s ot bing bnt smoke or a heavy wind would
Irive them away. On light nights and
londy days they were very numerous and
onoying. IJ
Beside these, there were countless num-1 ]
jtrs of mjfquitoes, ticks, fleas and red
tugs. No one could find time to be idle j {
lany moments, day or night I can im
gine now that I see W, H. M. "fleaing'' |1
is blanket, which he was certain to do |
ach day. So if we did not meet with the
,'ankees often, we bad to combat all these '
isects, and also the miasma of the swamps. 3
0 this add our heavy picket duty, and (
ur pleasures were quite limited.
1 notice in one of my letters that I was
a duty five nights out of nine. "On Son
ay the boys killed an alligator 6} feet
>ng ; they saved the hide for leather,
leard to-day that there was some light 1
rirmishing in camp yesterday (the 9;b) *
etween Lienta. Gregg and Ward ; nolb- 3
jg serious, however. r
On the 14th, whilst dissecting a bee- a
ree that tbe energetic Holder bad found, |
courier carno along in great baste, saying 0
ley bad detained three men who were 6
it sing down Ashepoo River. One was
[cGee, the famous scout, whom Gen. g
Live Oak") Walker bad sent down to ll
iconnoiter the different islands. Our pick- M
s were instructed to allow no one to a
iss; hence they were detained until in
ructions from Headquarters ordered their
lease. They were provided with a good
ap of this State and ol this coast conn
y, which most of us were mncb interest
in studying. South-west of os, acroes
sbepoo river, we learned was Hutcbin
son's Island, and to the East, acrofs Mus
quito Creek, was Forge'reon's. After in
specting the captured ecoats, we returned
to finish up tie bee tjee. The bees were
very spiteful, but our rations were out,
and we were not to be thwarted by trifles,
BO we succeeded in getting pretty well
sweetened. My sweet, however, was made
bitter by getting a laige hole burned in
my coat-quite a calamity !
Returned to camp on Sunday, 15th, feel
ing quite "wolfish," as we had been with
out meat for 48 hours."

[Special to the News andOourier,]
SUMTER, November 15.-At 7:30
to-night the fire alarm struck in Ward
No. 4, corner of Liberty and Main
street. The wind was blowing from
the northwest and the Ure rapidly
spread. . The burnt district includes
on Main street Barret's store, occu
pied by M. F. Hewson ; Morris's
clothing store; Pate, general mer
chandise : Hoyt, jewelry ; Scaffe,
hardware; Mason, jewelry ; Delorme,
druggist ; Snares, furniture; Bogin,
general merchandise ; and on Liberty

O'Connor, bakery and residence, and
Maxwell, general merchandise.
At this writing, 10 p. m., the fire is
still raging. Already the loss will
reach some $40,000. I cannot yet
estimate the insurance or indicate
how far the fire will extend, o. K.
A Conflagration tn Laurens.
[Special to the News and Courier.]
LAURENSVILLE November 15 -
The Continental Hotel, with its
furniture and three stores of the
Traynbam & Dial block, were burned
down this morning, the alarm being
given at 6, a. m. Br. Martin's stock,
under the Continental Hotel, was con
sumed. The stock of Reedy & Bleak
ley, McGhee & Gilkerson and Trayn
ham & Dial were partially saved.
There was partial insurance divided
&B?ween eight companies. The cauee
of'the fire is unknown, but it began
in Martin's store. Praise of the col
ored men's work is on every tongue.
Toe Georgia '< sapphira."
Mr. Emory Speer, says the News &
Courier, who is to assist Mr. Melton
in the political prosecutions, is known
in hie own State as Sapphira Speer,
and the Macon Telegraph has this to
eay about him :
"Of course 'Sapphira' will go, and
' Sapphira' may return with hie
pockets loaded, but with much of the
conceit taken out of him. There are
gentlemen at the South Carolina Bar
capable of taking care of the impu
dent ' Sapphira.'
" When Congress meets some Caro
lina member will inquire into this
business of Set jy and ' Sapphira.'
The question will be raided as to why
an officer appointed to attend to pub
lie business in Georgia, and paid tor
the same, is sent to South Carolina,
where there ie a District Attorney ot
ability and experience. And it will
be the doty of some Representative
from Georgia to see that a clause ?B put
in the Appropriation bill to keep Be nj y
t/CBl'dMhUl.ng the public ?UuJa
with free hands to bis particular pets.
" To the Bar and gen* ral public of
South Carolina we can commend
1 Sapphira* as being eminently un
worthy of their respect and attention.
Daring the last session of Congress
a correspondent described the touch
ing scene of the inebriated Benjy
Brewster and the truculent 1 Sapphira'
embracing on the floor of the ti ouse.
This is the sequel."

Mie tendency of the human mind
to underestimate the cotton crop is a
curious discussion in commercial jour
nals. Underrating the cotton crop
has cost Southern speculators many
millions of dollars, and the end is

Mr. Barnum reluctantly coufesaes
that the profits of " the greatest show
on earth" last year were $700,000.
The circus businees is coming up, and
will soon rival journalism as a pro
