A County to Which White Men and Women Have uo Rights Against Blacks. ?T Cor. of the N. Y. Sun. RICHMOND, Sept. 29.-Mecklen burg county is in what is known as the Black Belt of Virginia, the ne groes largely outnumbering the whites, and Mahon e's great strength is in this district Since his advent the blacks have become so insolent and riotous that many whites speak of leaving the county. A letter from a man in Mecklenburg says that a white woman, with a bedridden husband and three-small children, was culti vating a small tract of land. Near her lived a thriftless negro, who made a practice of pulling down her fence and turning in his hogs to feed on her crops. She complained in vain, and her isolated position made her powerless. At length she got a dog and drove the hogs out. There upon the negro assaulted her, and, with foul epithets, threatened her with death. She applied to a lawyer, and he said if giving her $100 would secure the punishment of the offend ing party for the wrong and insult he would cheerfully give it ; but that unfortunately her skin was white, and thit ol' the offender black, and for that reason he was compelled to advise quiet submission to the wrong; no white man or white woman hav ing, in his opinion, any practical ? rights agninst a black man or black woman in the county of Mecklen burg. The letter says: "Negro mobs have forcibly taken colored prisonei s charged with crime from officers of the law. White men, offi cers of the law and conservators of the pea^?av?'bee'n^reated with hoi ;erapt\?nd stricken -down by these nobs/for co other offence ?than^ that ^or?n^toarrrafTi^irnBra?rB edings, "and to asserc in n proper ^^Ber the supremacy of'thelaw." Upon an application for bail recently made for a white man, a negro Jus tice of the Peace, in announcing bi-* decision, said : " Send him to jail ; he ought to be sent to hell." ? ? . ? y - . If any white man is reckless, fool ish or wicked enough to wish for the suecefs of a Mahone movement in this State, he ought to read the ac count of "The Black "Belt of Vir ginia" published elsewhere to day and remember that what is now in the Old Dominion miy be in the Palmet tb State. The black man will inevi tably rule the party of which he is the strength, and our experience of the black man's rule here is still fresh in our memories. .We know how true the sketch of the situation in Mecklenburg county is because we have recently undergone similar horrors. : The white man who harbors thoughts of opposing the Democratic [arty, harbors treason to his State, his race, his family and civilization. The Cowpens Monument. A monument has been erected in South Carolina to celebrate the famous battle of Cowpens. Geoi gia is on that monument memorially as one of the glorious thirteen orginal States, and.it was understood that our people would contribute, thronen their Legislature, $250 toward sharing the expanse of the monument. Virginia promised ?1SO[$250, but nothing has come of the ol ligation since the poor old com monwealth Jell under the domination* of Cameron, Mahone and the. Black Bridge. Georgia should not stand in such a relation to Virginia^ vsjid yet she -must endure that association for a time at least. The monument was built, under pledges presumed to be binding, that Georgia whose name in bronze is inscribed upon the shaft, would, be good for $250. All of the old thirteen original States have sent their quotas, with tho exception of -Georgia and Virginia. We understand that there is a constitutional inhibi tion against a subscription of this sort. If so let the people, at least, make up the paltry sum required. We urge this, with the more earnestness, be Cause; ^fcW^in^??^^*f There are ten cotton factories with in a radius of thirty miles of Char lotte, North Carolina, and nine gold mines in operation. It is safe to say that more gold is dug out of the mills than out of the mines. The produc tion of gold in the State of North Carolina which has passed through the United States mints . amounts al together to $10,736,316, as" we learn from the Charlotte Journal Observer. How much it c ost to get this , gold out of the ground is not ' known. Probably more than its value. " How much is thi? leg of mutton?" inquired a sleek-faced chap of a butcher. ".Well, sir," said the knight of the clever, "'I shall chargo you-1" " All right," exclaimed the stranger, seizing the meit and eeoc tin'off with it, " ali right ;-cl arge it.r Hard on Beecher. Jo.

[Cor. af The yews and Courier.) GREENVILLE. Oct. 3 -Anothei death occurred to-Jay in the Teague family, making the sixth since JnJj 14 h last. The iden ol the lever orig mating Irotn a local' c-tuae is at onct .suggested, and is doubtless ti tie. The building, the Greenville Ho'.el, i. situated in :i: very., he iii hy locality, ai a considerable ?leva i n ab^ve ne gh borbood streams, aud the natural drainage of the vicinity ifkciively carrits away filthy accumulation?, except Irom the premises'ol' the hotel, which are enclosed. It is ?ftutted in a populous portion of the city on one ol the principal thoroughfares ol West Greenville-Augusta . street and in the immediate neighborhood, where numbers of families reside, there is no sickness at.all. These facts point conclusively to a local jrcause. Since the first death of the six the j premises have uudergone renovation in the way of a general cleaning up and removing of everything in the shape cf decaying matter, but the ill ness of the other members of the family followed one after another in quick succession, showing that the germ of the disease- was formed be .forehand. The building has an exten sive basement which is underneath the ?enrface ol the ground several feet. The basemen! floors, made of plank are upon sills which lie on the ground, and beneath them there is no ventila tion. The floors are therefore more or less damp and the silla i doubtless in process ot decay. Mr. Teague with his family came lrom Laurens County: in January last and succeeded the former occupant as proprietor of the hotel. Having no use for the base ment part of the building he rented it to negroes tojiia.io. Eight families of negroesTi?ve been residing-therein afThe same time. The well of water in the back yard of the NUel, which has heretofore been notod tor its puri ty and sweetness, ie said to have be come impure and undesirable as drinking water. All these things point to probable cause for the disease, which is pionounced a very malignant form of typhoid fever. The health of the city is and has been fully up to its well known standard of excellence. The deaths reported include the moth er, a daughter and. four sons. Three of the remaining four children ?re still ill with the fever, one of th=m seriously. Of the family of eleven who came to Greenville in January : all have been attacked with fever ex cept the father and one of the sons. Mr? Teague himsell has been ill. but probably from nervous exhaustion, j The theory is held by. some ?hat the ' disease was brought with the family from Laureus, but as to this 1 have heard nothing that would justify that conclusion._ .

Io a factory io Cincinnati there ii a workman who had one small inva lid child at home. He wrought a his trade with exemplary fidelity being always in the shop with th? opening of the day. He managed however, to bear each evening to th? .bedside of his " wee lad," as he callee him, a flower, a bit of ribbon or ? fragment of crimson glass-indeed anything that would lie out on the white counterpane and give a coloi to the room. He was ?. quiet, un sentimental man, but never went home at night withou i something that would make the wan face light up with joy at his return. He never said to a living soul that he loved that boy so much. Still he went on patiently loving "him, And by-and bye he moved that whole shop into fiositively real, but unconscious, fel owehip with him. The workmen made curious little jars and cups upon wheels, and painted diminutive pictures down their side s before they stuck them in the corners of the kiln at burning time. One brought some fruit in the bulge of his apron, and another engravings in a rude scrap book. Not one of them whispered a word, for thia solemn thing was not to be talked about. They pu* them in the old man's hat, where he found them, so he understood all aboutit; and, believe it or not, cynics, as you will, but it is a fact that the entire pottery full of men, of rather coarse fiber by nature, grew quiet as the months drifted, becoming gentle and kind, and some drooped swearing as the weary look on the patient fellow worker's face to'd them beyond mis take that the inevitable shadow was drawing nearer. Every day now, some did a piece of work for him and pu tit on the sanded pLnk to dry so that he could come later and go ear lier. So, when the bell tolled, and the little coffin caine out of the lowly door, around the corner, out of sight, there stood 100 stalwart working men from the pottery with their clean clothes on, moat of whom gave half a day's time for the privilege of tak ing part in the sirapleproceesion, and following to its grave that smalt bur den of a child which probably not one had ever seen.

WHISKEY AND TOBACCO.-The Neu and Courier, which is among th ablest journals in the South, plead for the retention of the tax on wirla key aud tobacco on the ground tha it ?B not only just and reasonable but is necessarily paid by each per son in proportion to what he con sumes.

Elephant. i The Charlotte ..Journal .Observer ol the Ooh ioBtaou is responsible for the following yarn : One of tte cases before fhe'Mayoi yesterday morning was that of Rufas Reed, colored, who wae'eharged with an affray with Sella's little elephant, and the facta brought out af the'trial proved that the fight between the elephant and the man Vas ? severe one and that the mau whipped the elephant. Reed had been giving the elephant a few apples, Lauding it all except one, which he put in hia vest pocket. While his attention was turned the elephant re ched out it-? trunk and, getting hold bf''Rufus"* pocket, tried to pull the apple ?ut, tearing the vest nearly off bet?re'tb-? wearer's attention was turned'to the elephant's prank. Seizing the ele phant's trunk (" snoot ' Reed called it,) he tried to wrench his vest and the apple away from ir, but the ele phant drew its trunk from Reed's hands and swinging j4 around gave Reed a terrible blow on the side of the head. Reed drew back and felled the elephant to the ground with a blow from his fist delivered" over thc eye. The elephant's keeper then at tacked Reed and R?ed knocked him down. In the meantinu the elephant had regained its'legs and gave .Heed another blow on the side. Recd was now thoroughly exasperated and sc tually knocked the elephant ever on itp back and then left the tent. As the elephant had left the city and could not appear in Court, the Mayor took Reed s stateti nt and let him off lightly, feeling that the elephant'de served the flogging. R^ed is a pow erfully built man and is something of a giant in proportions. He is the same man who had the fight with the heur, in which the bear was killed, at Lowell some months ago. Hi.-: fight with the elephant was w.tnessed by a number of our citia-ns.
