From the Chester Standard. OmnRssion of London Jones, freed. man. In giving the following- confession of the above named notorious robber and warderer, it is necessary that I should state that I have given the facts as nearly as I can, in his own words, and that I assume no responsibility, as to the truth folness of his statements. They were made to me voluntarily on his part, and with the knowledge tbt it was my in tention to make them public. He says : "I was born in Newberry District, S. C., and am now about twenty-two years of age. My mother is living, as also my wife. I have no children. I formerly belonged to Mr. Lambert Jones, of Newberry District. I knew Belton Gline from a boy, and regard him as wanting in good sense. I joined the Methodist Church, South, some years -go, under the ministry of the Rev. J. R. Pickett, bat being hired out to persons, who treated me roughly, I soon lost all religious concern and became reckless. 1a"1864, I went into the army with my young Master and remained with him o- 'bthe close of the war. About the 1M of April I moved to Columbia. But -' before that, on the Monday night before It Ubristmas, I helped to kill Jis. Gure n, My gun was near his body when I red. He died a few days afterwar1s, nd if it was but shFt that killed him, then I am the man 4-hat killed him, for gun was loaded -with buckshot.

Belton Cline brought Morris to me in Columbia, and thiongh #ir per uasion, I agreed to go to Ches ~'; to job Mr. A. D. Walker. This was Pi'Piday night before the murder of Mr. 1' ca&e r. I never saw Morris until that b h. It was not our intention to kill r.i'WIker, but only to rob him. We - eiinaon Sunday night by the train fiom , dnmbia.

SAMUEL LEARD. SurM ry wr Ma.

COLUMBIA, S. C. November 29, 1866. To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives. As soon as post ofices began to be re-established in the State, the collecting of the names of our deceased soldiers was resumed. In quiries in Richmond and Washington led to the conclusi >n that no Government records, containing lists c,f such names, had been saved or captured, and that the only source of information left was at home. Appeals through the newspapers for the desired information have been but partly successful, and I am engaged in writing to company officers for lists of the dead. The extensive loss of papers in the army occasions delav'n obtainitig such lists, which, in many instances, perhaps in most, h9ve to t>e made up frol memory. But I look furwaald to iarge resuilt fr-cm the interest manifested by the officers to nf him appeals bare been made. Lists of the dead, complete or in part, have been received from nirety three companies. From such sources, and from letters trom relatives and friends, five thousand five hundred and twenty names have been reco:ded. In consideration of the loss of papers, and lest the name <f any soldier should be for:otten in the naal record, I have collected, in a separate volume, from published reports of Adjutants and other utlicers, at the time of the casualties, and from lists from buri:d places in Virginia ana elsewhere, and from other sources, about three thousand five hundred ad ditional names. These are not entered upon the record. I have thus, in all, about nine thousand names. It is not the name only that is sought, but the District to which each soldier belonged, his rank, company, regiment and arm of service, the date of his death, the cause and place of death and his age. Du ing the coming year, in addition to corresponden)ce with company officers, blank forms will be furnished the Tax Collectors, and it is hoped that in this way many names may be gathered that would not otherwvisc be sent in. As sistance is also expected from the Soldiers' Meiori:d and Charitable Asso niations forming in various parts of the State. It is my duty to report that. of the large collection made for the State by my predecessor in this Agency, amount ing to more than seven thousand names, nothing has been delivered over to me. It is impossible to avui.l errors in such a work. Even parents and company officers sometimves give very different reports of the same solier. In order to secure as great accuracy -and comp!ete ness as practicable, it may be necessary hereafter to verify the record by publica tion, .so that in each District correc tionsT may be made and umi mons sup plied before the final mtanuscript copy shall he prep'ared for the archives of the State. The pho~ of ding this, and of the arrangement of nanies in the record, and of the introduction and prefix of statistics that naturally belong to such a record, it is unnecessatry to report upon at this time, as the collection of na:nes cannot be finished till the close of another year ot least. What has been done is readt for in spection, and also the account of expen diture, which, from the recent date of the appropiaition for this purpose, is of smaUl amouzt, and is therefore niot em bodied in this report. - Respectfuly~ suhmitted. WILLIA M J. RIVER~S, Rega(rding Agent. Major Walker, commandling at Aikez', S. C., has issued an order reciting that, "in order to carry out the verbal in tructionsof t he Major General Command ng Department, to protect the homes of 'milies an:d the rights of the freedmen, Lient.

The guard, which formerly attended him, in the daytime, and the sentinel whlo a-atched him at night, have been permanently removed, mand he is now stated to be as well situated as a pirisoner could hope to be. In exchanges rec-eived from nearly every part of the older Southern- States, are recorded the observations of men wh'o have viei:ed portlins cf South Ameica, Mexigo, and tshe western States for the pumrpose of obtaining information with refcerce to the titness of those re gionsas himes for themselves and neigh bors.

The to and telliper (of Congress, as ex hibitsi in the speches at thle public welcome yesterday and by the proceed. mngs of both branches thus far, are rai caly radical.

In Mr. Chase, the travelling community will find a aost as kind and considerate of their wants as he 1 i polite and affable in manners. MAGI.-Prof. Carlo G--affo, in his series of wonderful entertainments here last week, made much people laffo. At first we feared it was somewhat on the humbuggo, but fi nally ventured our respectable presen:e in 4o the precincts of the professor's charmed circle. We have seen Signor Blitz, and Wy man, and the celebrated Wizard of the North, Anderson, and a host of others of corresponding magnitude, in days past, and we pronounce prof. Carlo Graffo, equal to, and in some things aheado in his feats of presto. WHO "SA-Ur'" THAT FLUID?-The other day a little darkie-dirk as the ace of spades, or the shades of Erehus-stood before us in our sactuin with a huge glet of some, r thing in solution, and nothingmore. Queried him whence he came, what he had, etc , to all of which he replicd, "do'no, sab!" Find ing him a perfect know-nothing, and fe:tring lest the contents of the tankard should prove a lqu'd infernal machine, we tried to smell Sfor brimstone, but a bad cold had c!osed the portals. In this dilemima, we poured a little OUt-Ter-y sulphurous lookintg,-and tasted gently. It was delicious corn beer. Who, ever the kind friend was, he will please ac cept our thanks for his remembrance of us. SAn, vErt,--Our sympathies have been largely drawn upon in the last week, and had not our fountains been long ago sealed, di jed, tears would h'ave been copiously shed, at the misfortune of our dear friend Dr. T. Gonin. It was an accident, however, alto gether unooked for by him, but not by us, we feared just such a result from the first. It appears from what we have seen and heard, that anticipating a hrnge holiday trade, the Dr. had laid in a heavy stock of goo's, andi Jimmy, his help, made su:ch a grand diep'ay, so attractive and temnpting, that, the stock.was brnoken into last week, and :ear:y all cairried off by -anm appreciative pumblic, anid long cre tihe holidlavs had arrived. We are pleased to inform the publie how ever, that an imnmediatte order was sent off for a fresh supply, many of w.hich goods hav already 'arriv-ed, so that theore need be Ino apprehension of a failure on his part to meet the pressing demand, and that fronm th;is time ho will be prepared for all emer -gencies in ChrLtma, mee fancies, or every day goods. APoLoGWr!c.-We offer hearty apologies to the sheriffelty candidates, who took ex ceptions to our niot ice last week, which said that they invited their friends home to dine' with them. It wais all a flight of fancy, we thought so, and that they did not was no fal fours, and a nitter of regret to the uninvited. The cnstom of stuffing voters with somewha t to eat atnd to drink, is time -honored in the observanc'e, and we appeal to the worldl if these gentlemen had the Iright to make us out a story, or disappoint Ithe hiungry voters. They sty they did not even dine themselves on the occasion alhu ded to, nmuch less extend an invitation to their friends to dine. To say the least it1 was a bad come off and shows little skill itn electioneeriag. Can didates may shak-e our hands fromt mornt till eve, and we stand firm in out princeiples and shoes, n e are not to be ought ini so paltry a style; sha:ke and smile again and aga n, we stand true to our inde perdecel'. An imnvitationi to dinner, how ever, the viands good, and well cooked, and served,, is another thing, and might have effects of the htappiest ebiaracter. Men are like alligators, Mrs. What's-her-inane says, and must be approached through the stom ach. We wish you s uccess gentlemen, and beCg von to be sensible that soft words won't begin to go as far as collards and baeon. THE 110G.-A Stranger comling into our midst must surely think that the one idea pervading every miind now is the hog ques ion, t hat nothing else is thought or spoken -of. Mr. Porker is Lord Paramount ; cold weather andI fat hogs; sausiges, spare' ribs, back bones, latrd, the thoughtt by dayv and the dream by night. Meet a friend on the Istreet, rubbing hands together, 'oublcd up) n 'ith the cold, blue ntose and thin brecechies, and hazard the remark, "its a- cold day," Sand you'll he sure to hear.-"cold as blazes, just the thing for hogs, killed this morning.' Two fair ones meet, listen as they stop and Iexchange ideas, "good morning, dear how cold, killed yet? no, why we killed vester -day, and the fattest hogs, it would do you good to see,-you'll kill this evening-and such lovely, white lard ,glad mty trouble is over, good bye, good bye."
