Charleston Correspondence. CHARLESTON, October 20,1870. S Our "City by ihe Sea/' nevor spar led moro brightly io the Autumu suu hino Ihao during those passing ploas Dt October days. Thc rough freck es left on hor fuir face by tho hard? tops, of war have yielded in a great ,?asure 10 the emollient influences of enco ; the tattered dress of 1804 and 865 has been patched and painted Into sembfanee of the old taste and neat ? and there is an elasticity in her strides as sho moves forward on her prosperous earcor, that tells o? reoupcr ?ting health eud power. There aro a certain class of peoplo you know, who, Irishman like, are al trays' for crossing a bridge before they come to it-chronic grumblers who look nt the world through the groou gogglos of melancholy, and imagine it to bo eu route for perdition at locomotivo speed. Charleston has her slime of this dilapi? dated crop, but when the cyo of com? mon scii.se looks around tho city-and .sccs the signs of trade-secs wholesale es? tablishments stocked with ovcry variety of goods in demand; stores filled with retail buyers, aud merchants from the country pencil in hand checking off ? - their largo orders ; sees tho wharves ] freighted with merchandize unloaded . from three great Hues of steamships, to say nothiug. of smaller craft; sccs vessels by the soore rcooiviug cargoes of cotton phosphates und rico for various ports in : tho United States and Europe ; secs ' handsome buildings in process of con? struction, and thc waste places filling vp; sccs bar.ka whose Capital is abund autund whose dividends arc sure aud pro i fitabiti ; secs manufacturing companies ' -io successful operation, and mechanics I busily employed in their various (rude? ; . sccs hotels filling in advance of tho J season with tourists, aud business mcu from thc North aud West, aud two thc t utricul companies drawing, nightly au 1 dieuccs.aud dollars-when the eye of ^ common souse looks on all these cvi S dauccs of prosperity, it is impossible not to be encouraged, und to feel that j? we ure on tho high road to prosperity, " the diseased croakers to tho contrary ij notwtthstauding. True, money is a little tight just \ now, and he who wants to borrow tho filthy lucre must needs pay nu unusual discount ; but then you know cotton is down ; thc factors arc carrying all they dure ; and planters aro holdiug back for better prices. The real business of the year hus not fairly commended nor will it do so, until thc estimated three millions ol bales arc on thc mil and on the steamship hurrying to unlock the cof? fers of thc world and secure for tho . South its annual treasure. Thc winter season opens gaily . Our Academy of Musio-one of the most elegant and commodous theatrical struc? tures in the Southern country-has boon leased by Laura Keeuc, the well . known New York actress and manage? ress'; and Iliborniau Hull is already nightly occupied by travelling troupes of one kind and another. Wc'arc promised tho presence during thc winter, of souie ol'thc brightest dramatic stars of the country, and those who have not seen Kdwtn Forrest, thc tragedian, and Joe Jefferson, thc i!ip Van Winkle of the world, will doubtless httVO un opportu? nity to do so. The Fuir of the State Agricultural Society to bc held here thc first week in November will doubtless bc an event of usual interest. Largo sums of mono)' ure being expended in preparations; a great building covering a large area of ground has been creetcd on thc old rnco course und premiums sill bc distributed to tho amount of ten thousand dollurs for tho best .'exhibition of machinery productions of agriculture, manufactures nnd art of every kind. Twenty fiv thousand visitors arc oxpootod and ar range m ont s are being made for their euturiniimiciit, Tho railroads will bring visit?la free and-and char? thom only int thc return. Very fine racing s*tock is expected lo bc present, Ithd wo shah probably have a renewal ol thc old lime competition which has made >ho Charleston track famous the sporting circles of the country. As a matter of prudence, it will bc advisable foi' visitors lo secure accom? modations in nd vaneo by applying to one oribe other of tho hotels, Messrs. J'arkrr & Pond, the proprietors nf the Mills House, have jual completed extra ordinarv arrangements, They have re? newed (he h IOHO from top to bottom ; filled i's r>otnswith the most elegant j and luxurious of furniture painted, pa pored nnd mirrored, carpel ted and cur? tained lo th . i ic t o H I of forty thoiHnni? ? ?, ?

If, aa ia estimated, forty CooeervaUye aW ?otelHgeai mgan ber? have beca elected by Cb? Reform party, they .will constitute ? sufficient minority to check in a'great measure the designs of extreme Radicals, nnd oppose the ignorance sod corruption which has brought the legislation of South Carolin? into disgrace. The official result will not be known for at least ton days, and -even the? it may be materially modified by tho% rascalities which occurred at roany of the polls and have become the subject of protest - The Radicals claim three colored mern, bera of Congress. The oonduct at the ballot boxes on many of the Islands was decidedly loose. At more than one precinct negro women tuted for their husbands, snd their husbands voted somewhere else. Boys under1 age also voted, while in a soore of places armed bodies of blacks prevented others of their raoe from casting ballots for the opposition. It is proper to add, however, that where such scenes oocurrod there were not more than five or ten white lycn against ns many hundred negroes, and resistance was therefore useless. lu Charleston, the day was as peaceful as if it were a Sunday. Tho tWo of travel appears to have fairly commenced. Tho pleasure and health seeker* of the North, diverted from their usual European tour, seom already to have selected the South ss their "baso of operations." an J upon us, circulating money and making things move, in their way, general ly Florida and portions of Georgia are likewise sending many merchants, who find a cheap and convenient market here. Tho fact is, nearly al) of our job bo rs, by reason of increased steamship facilities, can sell goods as cheaply, if not cheaper than they can bo bought, in New York,and this Fall especially they have prepared themselves for a large trade. As an illustration, Mr. Edward Perry, tho Stationer and Bookseller, cn Meeting Street, has a stock of School Literature, embracing almost every publication iu use, an assortment of paper, office stationery, law books and law blanks, pens, inks, and an array of patent contrivances for school boys and counting house clerks, suoh as never before was introduced ?uto Charleston. In fact, one can sea. eely enter the es? tablishment without seeing something he had not thought of, and which being seen, becomes a necessity. The tempta? tion to load one's self down with these useful novelties is almost irresistible. Tho result is that such a barge and miscellaneous assortment naturally at? tracts thc country merchant, who can thus obtain in half an hour that which it would probably occupy a half a day to seek out aud purchase in tho city of New York. It is enterprise of this sort which constitutes the truo philosophy of business success, because it keeps busiuess and money at homo. We have just lost the Eighth Regi? ment of United States Infantry, a fine body of men, wi tit a finer body of offi? cers, who during their stay, have won many friends among our people They ?re succeeded by somo companies of tho Eighteenth Regiment. The steamer Georgia, of the Clyde Line, which has recently arrrived hero is, beyond question, thc handsomest ship an tho Southern coust. Her acoommo Jatious for passengers are simply mag? nificent, while her capacity is equal to ?500 bales of cotton, with u draft of less lian thirteen feet. *** lINCIUItAlt TA ll M?A*; OF DIMTII IN A HM'. About three weeks ago, there passed >vcr Fort Sully a terrible thunder storm md in it old Yellow Hawk, nu Indiun .cddler gave up tho ghost. On the day allowing the storm, a party of mon i appen ed to run upou a- little canvass cut pitched upon thc viverbunk. There ras no signs of lifo about it, and one ol' he men, out of curiosity, went to if, .nd lifted thc canvass door and-stepped m There, in one end of the tent, sat fellow Lluwk, erect ano. rigid'UH a stat? in-, willi his cyos wide osen, and one mud fir ut ly giusped on a dug's tieck, aud hu dog standing ou bis fono legs, and mrtly sitting on bis haunches, staring ri I d ly in thc same direction as his mas* er, while on thc oilier side cf thc doy, lie wife ol Yellow Hawk, resting upon> cr elbow on the ground, and staring II thc fume direction that the other cen pan ts of tent were gazing. Tho ian was inexpressibly terrified by thc pcolaolo, and his first impulse was to un ; but there was something so wide f strange in their eyes nnd in tho gou? ra! expression of their features, that 0 wa? bound io the spot. Not a mus !c of their faces morad, aud they held Itch- positions like Statues-thoy were P ead ! f'?

LOT TUB POOR NEGRO. Smith, the colored West Point ca? det, ia undergoing the procesa of a court martial "for eonduot prejudicial to good order and military discipline," and "for eonduot unbecoming an officer and a gentleman/' The sp?cifications show that Smith "did create a disturbance in camp," "did assault" a fellow cadet "with hie dipper and fist," and did sub? mit a false statement in writing to the commandant. O. O. HOWARD, of freed? man's Burean notoriety, is President of the Court, and yat the conviction of tho negro on all the charges is confidently expected. He will probably be expelled.

DisrrtmiANCB AT MARION. The Marion Cresent, of the 2Gth ult. jives the following account of the dis Lurbanoo at that placo on the pacccding Sa? Wa 7 : On Saturday night last our commu? nty was disturbed by the most noisy tod dangerous riot that has ever occur? red here. At tbo eleotion n few color? id men voted tho Reform ticket. Those ,vho did it openly, were, at the time, tubjocted to a storm of abnse and ridi >ule. Sinoa ?he elootioo they have had 10 peaoe, but have, from day to day, >een compelled to run a gauntlet of persecution. On Saturday night this itate of things culminated in an attack ipon Jas. Smott, n mun who formerly belonged to A. J. Shaw, Esq., Solicitor )f this District, and who is still iu the employ of his former master. Mr. W. ?. Dickson, one of our most quiet and vorthy citizens, was in at Mr. Crawford's grocery making some purchases. Upon iluniog home, James, tbe coloied man >pokeu of above, politely ofiered to issist him in oharryiog" home his pur disses. Tho offer waa accepted, and as hey went along they were preceded >y several colored .men, and closely fol owed by several ot Vers. James, seeing hera, expressed to Mr. Dieksou the cur they were going to attaok him. A 11 omen t after Mr Dickson beard some uissile whiz: by hrs head, and immedi kiely the assailants were upon them. IMiey told Mr. Dickson that Jim had old his vote to the Reformers, and they vero going to kill him. Mr. Dickson cmonstratcd and begged them not to emmit murder, trying ut thc same time o get Jim out of tho wuy. Suddenly io heard a blow and a groan and tho ?cor man clung to bim and begged him 0 protect him and save his lite. Mr. D. old Jim he had nothing to protect him rith, and told him to ruu for his life, 'liich he did. Just at this moment a ?stol shoe was fired by some of thc row J, nod with a terrific yell thc whole aug pursued thc object ol' their ven canee All this occurred in front of thc resby terian church. By the lime tey reached Mr Muuhiom's storo they ad struck Jim nbout the head twice id considerably bloodied him. Ile in into- the store nnd somebody closed io door against tho crowd Being tus cheeked iu their pursuit for u mo? unt, their fury was unbounded. Every istuut tho crowd became greater, and, 25 i des bludgeons and pistols, there ere soon seen in thu- erowd und in thc aighborhood of it so UM? tct> or fifteen *my rifles. The mob broke open Mr. luuhicm's dour aud searched his house. 1 thc meantime James had made hrs icnpo and gono to the residence of A. . Shaw, Esq., his forraor muster and rcrtcnt employer. Tho report was now rculatcd among tho mob that Mr. ickson,or Jim hud shot one of tho "Owd With a pistol, and if thu infernal it wcro uncovered it could hurd ly irnish a parallel to tho horrid oaths id yells which ro?t tho air They ere heard several uti lus distant in the morry. By this tiuic a few white inn came into the erowd and tried lo ilm thc tumuli, but lo no purpose, ho ) inters wert- juiucd by Henry ?huw, State Constable, and the erowd wont ? tho house of Maj. A. J. Shaw, who, .ing iu PX t rc ur cly delicate health, and itirely unable to defend bis servant, us obliged to surrender him to tho unstable, which hu did upon tho l'omise that they would protect him om violonoo and lodge him in jail for ie night. A purl of tho mob threat led to kill Mr. Dickson and burn nwn his house. Wo would say furth r that Mr. Dickson in one of thu most . offensive men ii. tho world, and ono 1'our bloat worthy eitiaens.

To give an ide? haw tho thing is done we copy the following from tho Mem? phis Avalanche, of the 15th instant, describing a baby show recently held in that city:. ,y After nurses sod babies had all been collected in rear of judges' stand, the seoretary called them into the arena in the order in which they had been enter? ed, and the babies belougiog to tho twen? ty seven ladies were carried into the riDg for the inspection of the bachelor judges. Hanged in front of the north? ern grand stand stood the nurses, with their little oharges in their arms or in petite carriages, and the sight was a peculiar ono. There were babies of all kinds, ar.d cf all ages, that is to say, of all months uuder twelve, for Wheeler, Dickens & (Jo-, in presenting the beau? tiful little perambulator, had distinctly bargained that it should bo presented "to the Arrest-baby under one year old on exhibition at this fair." Tho blue eyed blonds wero iu the majority, although there were many brunetts, dark oolored and placid. The boys seemed to be livelier than the girls, and laughed and "crowed" in a manner that was delight? ful to behold. Tho mamas tried every subterfuge to make their babies smile, laugh and crow, aud sundry couifi's and cakes were called into requisition. Ono blue eyed Iud of about ten months wus very attractive, and his efforts to swal? low a scarlet worsted bull four inches in diameter excited universal admiration. The task of the judges was no ordinary one, but they faced the music like mes, and gazed the juveniles nearly out of countenance while examiuing their "points." Heath, strength, ..heft" and good looks were all taken into account, und the judges moved silently aud stead ily along thu lino, their every motion and every word being eagerly watched by nurse, pupa and mama. Some of the babies started at tho portly ligure of Mr. Hamilton as he marched at thc head of his forces, and looked as if they had a slight glimmering of what it was all about, and they looked up smilingly whilo others presented sombre fucos, wi:h tears iu theiroyse und their mouths all a pout. It was indeed un interesting sight, and many broke through the rope guards and eagerly rushed iuto thc riug us if to look upon a baby was not an every day occurrence. After the judges bat carefully scanned the groups they retired for consultation, and then order? ed tho following babies, according to nuraberslas given above, to be separated from the geuerol group : Nos. 8, 4, G, 19, 25 and 26, belonging respectively to Mrs. J. 0. Johnson, Mrs. H. W. Aiuslie, Mrs. John Mitchell, Mrs. L. McGuire, Mrs. C. II. Cavan sud Mrs. Joseph Musso. Thc Judges took another fond look at the fortunate half dozen and again retired for consultation. They seemed to have nearly all agreed on the same buby, for the consultation was brief, and Dr. Perkins, the superintend? ent of the orena, came forward, took little Alary Ainslie in his arms, attach? ed to her righi arm the blue ribbon, placed her iu tho prize baby carriage, ind Coloucl J. 0. Dallent ine, grand marshal, gallantly wheeled the lucky lit? le lady around the arena amid the hus? sars ol the assembled multitude, whilo ;ho unlucky babies were carried solemnly >ut of the ring. After the prize baby lind becu shown all atound, it was taken in front of the grand stand, but thc loise around proved too much for its nerves, and the grand marshal and his issistant shouted lustily for tho nurse. So ended this great baby show of thc air."

Nov 2 Ayer's Hair Vigor, For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. A dressing which is at onoe agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thick? ened, falling hair checked, and bald? ness often, though not always, eared by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where tho follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied aod decayed. But euch as romain can bo saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling too hair with a nasty sedi? ment, it will koop it olean ana vigorous. Its occasional uso will prevont tho hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which moke Bomo preparations dangerous, and injurious to tho hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing noithor oil nor dye, it does not soil white oambrio, and yet lasts long on tho hair, giving it a rion, glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
