LAST WEEK IN WAGNER.
LOONTINUED FROM PAGE ONKL
The parapet cf the salient was gone,
and the ditch at that point filled with the
drifs. It seemed that the bomb proofs
would soon succumb to this destructive
fire. A portion of our signal corps had
been specially detailed to observe the
signals of the enemy. Every dispatch
signalled between Gen. Gillmore, ot the
Federal army, and Admiral DAhlgren,
of te navy, was transmitted by out
signal officers to Gen. Beauregard in
the city, and such as he desired us t<
kuow were then sent to Col. Kiett for
his lutormation and guidance. One o
these dispatches, which was read by Col
Kcitt to a few of us who were in b
confidence, detailed the plan of an attac
on Battery Gregg which had been agreec
upon between Gillmore and D.thlgren

ered way he.dinag intom the sjalitentI was
entirely ciruc1ed y the sand drifts
causced by the enlenla 's shiot anti shcel I.
The bomrbardmenuit was a repetitlion of
yesterday. Men I elIl en every side aned
the lctter-bcerers arnd surrgeonis hcad as
much as thcey coueld tir. It waes thce
custom t) send the wondced ril to the
city at night. Ouccr oleportuin ities pmr
mitted us to remove'. very fe w of the
dep.dI from the island ducring the laitter
days of the siegu. Thie suc l erimce of the
tmen was some what allayed by d igginig
wells in thce homb-proofs. Tolerable
water was thus ob)t aIned, buut not inc
suflicienrt quanictie is. The heat was in-*
tense arid the air ini tihe bomb-perooefs
became very I ol acnd hardly supported
life. 'rThe light, of Ine lamps, kept cont
stantly buirnirng, coreld( hardly penetrate
the gloom. The liCey. A. F. Dickson,
our Worthy andl( efficient chaplain, held
the usual Sunday's religions services,
and the Voices of the men, singing the
praises of God, could be heard amid
the screaming of solid shot and burst
lng of shells.
A bout 2 o'clock P. Mi. Col. Harris and
Capt. F. I). Lee, of the engineer corps
came down from the city to inspect the
fort and report its condition to Gee.
Beauregard. They were of the opinion
that It could not be held much longer.
The work was, in their judgment, un-*
tenable. Under the directions of Capt.
Lee the damnages done by the enemy's.
gun had been promptly repaired tilll
the last parallel of the besiegers was
completed. It was then no longer pos
sible, and it was very hard to keep
from being entirely buried by the sand
drifts occasioned by the bursting shells.
The parapet of the sailient was now
entirely gone, and Ute ditch in front
filled for a apace of flity feet or more.
At dark the enemy's sap reached the
ditch at a point to the east o)f t nia fill.
About 4 o'clock, after C'l Harris and
Capt. Lee had made t,heit repQrt, we
reoeivedthe order of Gen. Beauregard
through the sirnal corps to evasuate
the fort. The plan of evacuation ha
been talked over and agreed upon b
Oul. Keitt and the officers commandin
regiments, in anticipation of receivin
the order. No one of us can claim ftc
himself the honor of its arrangemen
The order of Gen. Beauregard did nc
lix the details, and our plans were ic
changed. In the event of our failur
to receive the order to evacuate, as w
could not successfully resist an assaull
as we resolved to make a sortie, an
throw our coanmand upon the enoi
in their last parallel. We were resolve
to sell our lives as dearly as possible
and I have no doutbt that our assault o
the enemy would have beei a very hon
orable death struggle.
In accordance %thi our plan ot' eva

to Cuimming's Po nt was a perilomt
trip: shells were falling and bursting
atroundl and over us. We kept in the
shadow cast bay the fort. The cailim
light, of the enemy lighted up out
works as brillianty as ont the previomt
night. The shadow of Waguter exteinded
nearly to Cumming's Point. The sail
ors of the Confederate tronclad gun
boats were thte oarsmen who ro wed ahi
boats upon which we embarked. Wi
were carried to steamers in waitini
just above Fort Sumter. An oticer o1
tihe navy commanded each of the small

touched or interfered with each other.
The bombardment of Wagner by tha
enemy was still goining on after wa

been discovered that the work had beer)
evacuated. The boats returned tot

they came back we heard firing of smnai
arms in the direction of Cumming's
Point. Great fears were entertainet
that the brave captain and his detach

The second session of Clemson Col
loge will begin on thursday February
15, 1894. There are about one thousand
boys in the State who want to become
students in the college, but only 600 of
them can get places. In fact. it is not
likely that more than from 200 to 300
new applicants can onter, There is room
for (00 boys, that number having been
present at the last session, but the
Board of Trustees estimate that a great
many of them will not return. They
will leave vacancies for a number
which is yet unknown.
The Board of Trustees decided at the
last meeting that future applicants
must undergo examination, As many

entitled to enter the college at the ooen
iog of the session of 1895, on the t6ird
Thursday of February.
".tudents under fifteen years of age
are not to be admitted except were two
brothers apply, one being'over fifteen

"For those desiring to enter the
Freshman el ass a thorough proficiency

IAglish gramimer, geography an(I his
tory of the United states is required.
Applicants not prepared to enter the
college classes will be admitted to the

Tlie following resolutions regarding
the admission of students were adopt
ed by the Board of Trustees:
"Resolved, That the admission of
students other than those already in
attendance at the college be upon the
following conditions:
"1. Stutlents must undergo *a medical
examination and no person will be ad
nitted who is not healthy and free from
contagious diseases, including con
sumption.
"2. Students will be appointed among
tWe counties in proportion to represen

ies, is the following. Practical work4
in mechanics, eight hours per week;
physical laboratory work, four hours

In addition to the uniform students
rmay provide themselves with work
clothes as they desire.
l ich student will be required to
bring with him four sheets, two blank
ets, a comfort, six towels, one pillow
anal two pillow cases.
Trhe expeins"s for one sesson of ten
month are as follows:

$108 75
TI"uition, $40 a session, is charged to
stud(enits whose parents are worth
$53e, above all indebtedness. Before
(enit'eing the college, astudent must pay
for umiforms, $23 75; for one month's
boanil and washing, $7.50; for medical
fee, 82.50; for incidental fee, $2.50--in
al 6s3I.25. No deviation, whatever,
from this rule will be made. The
amount that must be paid for each
month following the first will depend
upon the quality.and quantity of labor
p)erformed by the student.
A gricultural students are paid 8 cents
per hour for productive labor-twe
hours per day.
Mechanical students are required tx
work two hours daily, and are paid ac
cording to the value of wvork-nevei
over 8 cents per hour.
li"nce, a student may make by labol
about $4 a month, and thus reduce
board and washing to $3.50 per month
In short, a poor boy may pass one ses
sion of ten months at Clemson College
f or about $80-allowing $10 for books
and stationery, which are sold to the
stud(ents at actual cost.
No reduction in board will be made
for students who come in after the
opening, nor for those who are absent
during the session for a period of lesi
than one month.

d The world'a FAir Fire.
- CnicA0o, Jan. 9.-Last night's ilro
in the Worll's Fair grounds produced
e greater changes in the appearance of
Chicago's famous pleasure park than it
was expected would be made by six
a month's removing of buildings. The
i Casino, where thousands spentdelight
3 ful houri watching gay scenes upon
e and about the grand basin, was wholly
- destroyed. The Peristyle, once illumi
d nated with thousands of incandescent
L- lights and Greek fire, furnished Greek
1- fire, and nothing remains. Its arches
are burned away and its stately col
unins, half burned and charred, lie in a
confused mass on the promenade
r which surrounds it. Colossal figures
1 which surmounted it., toppled to the
ground when their supports burned
away and are broken in pieces. Co
)fluimbus andl his heralds with their wai
y horses and chariot, are an unrecognlizi
ble mass of ruins. The Music Hall
:e likewise is a melancholy heap 'of ashei
save here and there where twisted iron
girders protrude. Not a portion of 1t
was savcd from the flames. All about
n the walks are strewn with debris
t charred brands which the wind blew
fr om the burning buildirags and little
a piles of white ashes where some of the
Sbrands were consumed after falling.
