circumstance that thc nnti-Mcbnurin

"What wo started to show, however,
was the systematic offerts on tho part, of
Mid.aluin's enemies to conceal what ho
does do that will meet w ith tho people's
approval, and to magnify, and contort
into misrepresentation such acts as they
think Will bo disapproved Of, Tho Mccord

matters pertaining to the reunion of
tho (V)nfederate Veterans next

to a special meeting between tho
Tederals and Confederates:
While tho Confederate Kennion
committee aro arranging for the big
Kennion of all Confederates who
will como lo Louisville in May, vari
ous individuals aro arranging for
minor reunions of special parties.
Several blue and gray reunions will
be held, among which ia ono that is
of especial interest to South Caro

Palmetto Sharpshooters and tho
10th Michigan. Those two regi
ments fought each other at Gaines's
Mill, on .lune 27, lSll'J.

regiment will bo present. If feasi
ble I wish to arrange a place of meet
ing on an evening that may be
agreed upon, when we can have the
camp lires lighted again and both
sides can be heard from in amity.
Possibly we might want a banquet
or something to eat just as a start
ing point for getting together. Tho
isseinbly may bo very small, not
aver a hundred in any event, I would
suppose. I am in correspondence
with some ofliccrs of the ?Michigan

which is a great deal lo ask of you.

WALHALLA IN MAY, 1152.
A FULL ACCOUNT OF REV. OH. L. MUL
LER'S FIRST VISIT TO OUR TOWN.
TIME HHS WROOGHTMIIMY CHANGES
All Bul Two or Throe ol tho Oidor People
Montionod Havo Passed Over tho River.
(From Hov. Dr. !.. Muller's Diary, which
ho kept from 1840 to 1852.)
May 28, 1852.-Yesterday I re
turned from my journey to Walhalla,
8. C. The Lord lias attain shown
me, during tho same, that Ile ?8 able
and willing to help and to save. I
have boon several times in the great
est danger of my life, and each time
Ile has mercifully warded it off.
The impression which 1 have received
of my journey is an extremely favor
able one ; especially did thc impres
sion of Walhalla do mc good, l?ttt
I lind it diilloult to express in words
all the images which stand before
my mind ; will, therefore, make only
a short sketch.
On May 17th, at 8.30 A. M., 1
took the train for Columbia ; spent
thc night there ; had time to call on
Franks and Recklings. Also saw
Krieger, Voltger's brother, child and
others. These latter are quito happy
in beautiful Columbia.
Next morning (18th) I went by
rail by way of Newberry, where I
once attended Synod, as far as thc
cars run, to station Ninety-Six. Ar
rived there about noon ; half an hour
later continued thc trip ?II a covered
wagon towards Anderson. Tongue
of the wagon broke on the way.
Was often in the greatest danger of
life, because one of thc horses would
always rear and try to run away ;
jumped about ball a dozen times
from the wagon to escape thc dan
ger of falling into ".oi\\o abyss with
it. Had to drive through thc whole
night, almost froze to death ; bad
not', provided myself with winter
clothing. Cot to Anderson stiff and
numb at half past four in thc morn
ing, 56 milos from station Ninety
Six. A very pretty, pleasant and
nourishing country town. Would
not mind living in that region. A
veritable corn garden. Slept only
two hours ; started at 8 o'clock, on
tho 19th, for Pendleton. Had to
wait there the whole day for the
team promised from Walhalla, be
cause my lotter had arrived too late.
In thc evening, finally Biomann
came, glad to lind mc there; next
morning wo drove to Walhalla (18
milos from Pendleton, and the latter
14 miles from Anderson), where wc
arrived at lt) o'clock.
Tho fi rsl impression was not very
encouraging. A broad, long street,
cut through the middle of thc origi
nar forests, and but few houses there,
lo the righi and left still mostly the
venerable oaks, which bad already
80011 cont m ies. First on tho left
Smith Briggcmntlll ; secondly, Shoe
maker Brem or (whose old sign from
tho corner on Broad street mot toy
view); next on the light Furniture
makor Meyer; then on thc loft Hie
mailli's Hotel, a line, largo and
stately house. There I lodged dur
ing tho time of my stay.
Wc lost no time. After dinner
wc started to make calls. Madame
rodo with mo, as ber husband was
too much occupied with some build
ings be was erecting. Tho women
up there all ride very well. Vi si tod
first I lonekon, then Thodo ; got lost
in tho woods for a while, because
Madame Riemann had failed to turn
into a side road at thc right time ;
came to liullwinkel's mill ; then
Cappolmann's, then Wcndolkin's
farm. The people themselves we
found busy trying lo koop from their
fences a lift; they bad kindled to
clear a house-place from the bushes.
All were very glad to se?! mo. Thc
morning after my arrival I was with
Madame liullwinkol, who formorly
livod in Melding street. She lost
her husband and first child by an
accident.
Next morning, tho ?1st, I went
with llonckon to Kalb's land, which
I wished to buy for Wilhelm. (Dr.
Muller's hr< thor, still living in At
lanta.) A splendid, forest, nothing
else (boro, but tin? main thing is a
grand waterfall of about 2f> or o<>
feid ; water enough to build a mill.
If I can manage il, I will buy it of
Kalb. Thoiu ?asomo bottomland in
the I If? acres. If I mistake not ho
gave #500 for it ami will bo glad if
we take it off bis hands. There is a
good beginning in Walhalla for a
saw mill, later furniture works, wood
turning, etc. I only want to sec my
dear wife first, before I lake it.
In tho afternoon I rode alone to
Schroder's, as I had already seen hit;
I iiouse on thc way. Mo was very
cordial, also his wife. Madame
Kleinbeck, whoso husband is dead,
was there. They already were bak
ing cake for thc baptism and wed
ding on Sunday. With Schroder I
rode the same afternoon to bia mill,
Kleinbeek's mill ; then to Wahl's ;
then to his (Schroder's) brother; to
Gissol's, and back to Schr?der'?.
Saturday, the 22d, I made another
excursion, alone, to Kalb'? waterfall.
I discovered still more than I bad
seen with llenckcn. Tho first time
wc saw only thc third part of the
falls, about 12 feet. Now 1 saw
further dow ti several larger ones,
and 200 or .'100 steps from it, oil
another arm of tho same brook, ano
ther immense fall ; one can scarcely
imagine anything more beautiful,
covered over all around with bloom
ing trees. My ! what a fine country
there ! If we could live, there !
Again in thc old lltiiithousc Forest !
Vet-as thc Lord wills ; the heart of
man designs his way, (Jod alone
causes it to continue. I had heard
that farther down there was a still
liner fall. 1 went along the course
of the brook. Suddenly there was a
rustling in the grass and leaves, and
a snake about four or live feet long
came across tho path about six or
eight steps from mo and ran into the
brook. I might have boldly gone on,
but, not knowing how to manage
these animals so very well, I thought
it most advisable to take to my heels.
It is a pity that on this account I
did not sec thc other falls. In flu:
afternoon I visited, alone, I,adey and
C. Wendel ken. Those are thc real
backwoods folks of Walhalla, about
a mile below Kalb's land, a wild, ro
mantic region; rooks, which form
real mountains ; waterfalls, lo vol y
vales, Bloop heights. Living springs
everywhere. Ob, if we only had
such here !
Tho 28d was Sunday. Wc drove
to church. All the Gorman's were
there. Thc church, a neat building,
belongs to Col.Graham, from whom
the Company bought the land. The
church was entirely lilied. There
were also many Americans there ;
stiil more than half were Gormans.
I preached to them from I Thessa
lonians, 5: 18: "lu everything give
thanks ; for this is thc will of God
in Christ .Jesus concerning you," In
thc introduction I touched upon thc
mightiness of this day and its power
of appeal to our emotions, to the
people hero as well as to mc; after
so long paration and their being
deprived of Christian worship I am
enabled again to proclaim tho gos
pel to my dear old parishioners,
important for this reason, thal to
day tho spiritual foundation-laying
of the German congregation, thc
first German sermon. Yes, bc
thankful for that. Thoma : Kxhor
