served and CticriNticd,
General'TVodo Hampton, was complimented
• with a serenade at tils hotel In Charleston, ■on
Saturday evening, the 25th inetnnt. About two
>;- thousand persons were present, nnd tho Utmost
enthusiasm prevailed. Wo copy from tho report
In the Courier of the 27th: General'Hampton,
offer repeated calls, made his appcaranco, and
was balled with long and continued shouts of ap
plause. “Dixie” was again called for, and with
the shouts that almost drowned the notes, was
kept up for fully flvo minutes, during which time
Gen. Hampton was standing on tho balcony,
waiting to bo heard. Silence at length being re
stored, ho said:
Fellow Citizens— Your kindness is 60 great
and overpowering on tills occasion that it makos
mo a bankrupt in thanks. As many of you who
heard mo last night know, I am suffering from a
severe cold; to-night my voice is in a worse con
dition than on last night; still, ns you are here,
many of you my old comrades and fellow-sol
diers, I will endeavor to recall some of tho mem
„ptiwjt»f. .the past..that...now.rush upqnjne.__He_
then said that he had hot forgotten how many
gallant soldiers Charleston had furnished him. It
was here that he raised his first company—
[cheers I—and ho could not forgot them. [A
voice “"No.” | He could not forget that this com
mand of his gave more gallant officers to the
cause than any other in the service. There was
Conner—fehccrsl—Garey,Logan—| cheers']—you
remember him—[A voice, “We do !J—and But
ler. the brave, generous Butler.
A Voice—Not tho Beast.
General Hampton—No!
A voice—Threegroans for the Beast.
These were given with effect.
A voice—Three cheers for General M. C. Butler.
General Hampton then alluded to the dis
tinguished services of Captain Stephen Leo,
whom he said was the first captain who left this
place for the seat of war, and paid a glowing
tribute to the memory of the brave and lamented
Pettigrew. Thc6o he’ said were some of the offl
. cers given by his command. Of the soldiers he
need not speak. Tho history of their deeds will
speak for them. He had commanded many men
during the war,but there were none whooccupied
a higher place in his affections, none more en
deared to him than those brave soldiers who first
went outwith him; [Cheers. ] He then alluded to
• the fall of the cauee aDd the subsequent sufferings
of the country. He told them that ho had in his
possession the flag, shattered and torn, which
they loved so well and under which they had
fought so long and gallantly. He had preserved
it from the general wreck; he had cherished it.
| Great applause.] And he intended to keep it
until we had a State again, to whoso keeping he
would commit it as one of the most cherished
' memories of our unfortunate cause. Ho alluded
to the brave troops trora this city commanded by
Colonels Rutledge, Davis and other brave officers
furnished by Charleston. Ho well remembered
When an attack was made on Charleston, he
asked leave from tho Secretary of War
to call in the members of his legion
who were on furlough. He obtained leavo, and
as fast os his telegrams reached tho men they
came in. All obeyed and came in one by one and
in detachments to the dofenco Of old Charleston.
He had come down here to 6ee his old comrades.
He had been gratified, and he felt, he said, like, a
son who had, after a long absence, come home
and received a double welcome. It was to
Charleston that be first came to raise troops for
the war. It was to Charleston that he now came
after the war was over and the prospect of peace
apptared. His sword, he trusted, was never
stained by dishonor or cruelty. [A voice,
“Never.” | It had been drawn in defence of his
State. He trusted it had been sheathed in
honor. And he hoped that it might never be
drawn again; but if ever his State needed his sor.
vices again, in whatever land he might be, and at
any time and under any circumstances, his life
was at her disposal. | Cheers. | He thought,
however, that the coming victory of the Demo
cratic party would restore the South to her rights
in the Union, under the constitution of our fore
fathers. We must work faithfully, earnestly,
zealously. He trusted tnat the groat demonstra
tion last night would wake up ' the State to vic
tory at the approaching election. In conclusion
he said: Believe mo, fellow citizens, I am more
touched by tho kindness you have shown me
than I can ex press. This occasion will always
be cherished as one of the happiest memories of
my life, and I trust that you may all be happy,
prosperous and free.
General Hampton retired amid the most en
thusiastic shouts, tho band, as if catching the
inspiration,struck up “Auld Lang Syne,” nnd for
a few moments the wildest excitement prevailed.

f , CRIME.
THE ITIILLICAIV BIOT.
Particnlais of lUc Slaughter.
A correspondent of the Memphis Post writes
from Texas full details of tho tragedy at Milllcan,
now a station, and formerly tho torminus of the
Texas Central Railroad, which has a population
of 25 to 75 whites, and from 800 to 600 blacks.
The place has but, two or three, stores. The ne
groes la and about Milllcan have had several
colored orators among them lately, together with
other mon of no character whatever, who have
stirred them up-to a spirit of revenge upon tho
whites for tho sum total or their many and
manifold misdeeds and mistreatment in times
past. These men, during tho past throe
months have been (and until lately) si
lently engaged in drilling tho colored men,
who are all armed cither with doublo-barrolcd
shot-guns or revolvers, or both, nnd sometimes
more than one revolver. Recently one Holliday
has been under a great deal of suspicion of having
been concerned as a'ringleader in tho hanging of
a negro man, who was found in tho contiguous
woods to Milllcan and in the Brazos bottom, and
for which suspicion or murder nothing had been
done by thewhltes. It further appears that either
to prevent tho escape of one of tho Hollidays im
plicated in the murder, or, as acknowledged by
some of the black men who were taken prisoners
by the whites, it was resolved to avenge thoir
comrade’s death. To that end tho negroes, last
Tuesday, tho 14th instant, to the number of from
fifty to sixty, all Bplendidly arqied and riding
horses,dashed boldly into and through the town of
Milllcan with the public avowal thal they were
going down to Holliday Brothers’ place—two
miles from town—to hang Holliday; also saying
that they had enough men to kiU every white
man in tho county. The negroes proceeded od
their way, but did not find Holliday, and started
to return. In tho meantime Deputy Sheriff Pa*-
tlllo, who happened to bo in Millican, saw the
negroes depart, and apprehending the conse
quences, called together, and, “in the name of tho
law,” pressed 20 or 25 willing men, most, if not
all, of whom were ex-rebel soldiers, and immedi
ately started in pursuit of tho negroes, who had
done no more as yet than I have here related. De
puty Sheriff Patillo and party met the negroes a
short distance from the town. A'few words of par
ley ens»ed. The Sheriff,it is said,ordered them to
deliver their arms and return to their homes. The
negroes refused, and, as Bryan, the Bureau offi
cer, remarked, “one of the damn fool niggers ac
cidentally allowed his gun to go off.” This was
all that was wanted, it was but' an instant, and
in the next the whites had emptied their guns
and charged upon tho now terror-stricken ne
groes, who, leaving five of their dead on the road
across which the Shoriff halted them, instantly
formed into, lino of battle. Beveral of tho
negroes -Were wounded, and many of
Iheir hordes were killed and wounded.
The fight" was not kept up, and, as ij was
getting dark, the command of whifq men,
which had been considerably augmented by this
time by old men, boys, and others who could
get arms, returned to Millican. Messengers were
immediately sent up to Bryan, a distance of six
teen miles, and to Navasota.a distance of only ten
miles, and by ono o’clock an express train came
down from Bryan, bringing about 250 white men.
who were all well armed, and looked as though
they were going to a frolic. Guard, pickets and
reliefs were appointed oh both sides, and within
hearing distance of each other. The pnncipal
leader of the negroes—who numbered, according
to the prisoners’statements, between 600 and 800
colored men of all shades of color—at that time
wsb Parson Brooks, who has lived in Millican
many months, officiating as preacher, school
teacher, and President of the Loyal League. It
teems that he wished to compromise, but on
Wednesday another skirmish took place, and
shortly slier night upward of 20 negroes were
dead. The number of wounded has not been as
certained, as the negroes carried off their wound
ed. Flags of truce passed between the parties a day
Jong; and under the same, permission was given
the negroes to bury their dead, which they did
to the number of nine bodies. On Wednesday
evening 50 or 60 of the Bryan people returned
borne. On Thursday, the 16th, your correspond
ent and his brothers left the cl ;y of Hempstead
for the scat of war. On the same train a com
pany of the 26th United Stateß regulars arrived
there, and as our party, about 30 men (including
soldiers), got off, we were heartily welcomed, as
information had been received from negro spies
—against the rioters—that unless soldiers came
upon the train the negroes, to the number of 600,
under “Parson” Brooks and three other negro
captains, would attack the town and the people
in it—men, women and children.

the best of feeling. The impression left on tho
minds of all was happy, nDd Lafayette Is nearer
titan over to the hearts of all.
—Robert Prutz, an eminent German poet and
critic, says: “Not a few German critics are sur
prised that the American reading public should
take so much interest in Louisa Miihlbach’s pub
lications. If they merely like her books on
Frederick tho Great, Joseph thoHecond and Na
poleon, we do not wonder, for those works are,
whatever may be thought of their artistic value,
quite readoble; but if they derive any pleasure
from such unmitigated trash ub L. Miibdbach’s
late works on the period of Storm and Stress, on
Schiller and Goethe, and her Prince Eugene are,
then the American public must stand much lower
and be by far less cultivated than we thought it
was.” •
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 30 1868.
Distillery Burned.— Last night about twelve
o’clock a fire broke out in the of WIT
liam Murray, Nos. 128 and 130 Dock street. The
buildings are of brick, four and a half stories in
height'. The flameß originated on. the first floor
of No. 128, and spread rapidly through tho build
ing. Tho structure was completely wrecked,
nothing remaining but the walls. The greater
portion of the machinery, apparatus and fixtures
were destroyed. There was not much wlxlsky or
material on hand. The engine and boil
ers are in prettv good condition. The

times, hut, by tho exertions of the firemen, was
prevented from doing any BCrious damage thore.
The machinery was tomowhat injured by water.
Mr. Murray values his property at $14,000 and
has upon it an insurance of $5,800—53,000 in tho
Philadelphia Insurance Company and tho balance
in Baltimore companies. The loss cannot bo
ascertained, but the insurance will not bo suffi
cient to cover it. The buildings belong to Henry
Bndd, and are damaged to the oxtont of $5,000,
which is insured in the Royal and the County In

The furniture establishment of F. A. Weiss, on
Second street, suffered -Bomowhatrby-TVatcnn ■

The fire was caused hv tho vapor escaping from
the motor box igniting from a gas light. At the
timo there wore three men in tho room. They
were engaged in running off a small quantity of
mash which was on hand. Whon tho flames
appeared above tho meter box the men attempted
to extinguish them, but tho burning liquor ran
into the cistern and caused it to explodo with a
loud noise. The explosion sent tho fire through
the building and tne workmen barely escaped
with their lives, getting out through the coal
hole.
While the fire was raging fiercely the heavy
mash tubs and other appurtenances fell from the

temporary panic among tho firemen.

Raskin describes In bis volume entitled Tho
Two Paths, the wild region of Scotland Inhabited
by the Clan Grant; and finds In its rocks and
mountains tho sources of that steadfastness of
character for which the clan was dlstlngnlshed,
and which has been Illustrated by the best repre
sentative of tho race In our timo. We quote the
following extract: .
“In ono of the loneliest districts of Scotland,
where tho peat cottages are, darkest, just at the
western foot of that great mass of the Grampians
which cncirclorfhe sources of the Spey and Dee,
the main road of which traverses the chain winds
round the foot of a broken rock called Crag or
Craig Ellaebio. There is nothing remarkable in
cither its height or form; it is darkened with a
few scattered pines, nnd touched along Its sum
mit with a flush of heather; but it constitutes a
kind of headland or leading promontory In tho
group of hills to which' it belongs—a sort of in
itial letter of the mountains; and thus stands in
the minds of tho inhabitants of tho district the
Clan Grant for a type of their country, and of
_lhe_inflnenco-of. that-countryrtipon-themselves.-
Their fcenso of thisls beautifully Indicated In tho
war cry of tho clan, ‘Stand fast, Craig Ellachlc.’
Yon may think long over those fow words with
out exhausting tho deep wells of feeling and
thought contained In them—the love of their na
tive land, the assurance of their faithfulness to it;
the subdued and gentle assertion of indomitable
courage—l may need to bo told to- stand,
but, if I do, Craig Ellachlo does. You
could not but nave felt, had yon passed be
neath it at tho time when so many of England's
dearest children were being defended by the
strength of heart of men born at its Coot, how
often among the delicata Indian palaces, whoso
marble was pallid with horror, and whoso ver
milion was darkened with blood, tho remem
brance of Its rough gray rocks and pnrplo heaths
must have risen before the sight of the Highland
soldier; how often the hailing of tho shot and
tho shriek of battle would pass away from his
hearing, and leave on the whisper of the old pino
branches—‘Stand fast, Craig EUochie!’ ”
