Our Charleston Correspondence. [PROM OUE OWN CORRESPONDENT] CHARLESTON, S. C., Angus* 5th, 1871. Our citj, which, as is well known far and wide, baa been suffering for several jearspast under the aad rule and ruin of Radicalism, is now rejoicing in her complete redemption. Her robes of mourning and despondency, have been laid aside for the glad garments of prosperity, progress and peace. Intelli? gence, worth, brain and honest govern? ment, will now assert their supremacy over ignorance, misrule, rowdyism and roguery. The pulse of the State will now beat healthily, nader the inspiration of the triumph of conservatism here, which will be echoed and reechoed by her press from every to every quarter of her proud domain. The anuoying and disgusting scenes, which have marked the popular election through which we have just past, having been confined to the Republican ranks, bave^ rolled up for our conservative ticket a majority as remarkable as it was un? expected. And how is this glorious result celebrated and enjoyed ? Cer tainly not in that boisterous crowing in those rowdy torch light processions that have always followed the successes of the riff raff cohorts, but io that quiet dignity and repose, your correspondent is proud to chronicle, so befitting the descendants of a chivalrous, rtfioed and noble atcestry. While Mayor Pillsbury, doubtless in the hope of conciliating his party, very reluctautly joined in arrange ments to preserve the peace of the city a lew days since, he yet sent round an invitation to prominent citizens of the place., to meet him in consultation yesterday, for the furtherance as he said of devising means calculated to meet and quiet the great excitement in his opinion then existing. The fact of the matter is just this : there is now no excitement or desire to create riot and disturbance in Charleston, by any other class than those that constitute Mayor Pillsbury's satellites themselves. As long as these people can have their own swing, and create the impression that thc only disturbing element in this community is to be found in any other element than that embraced in their own party, all is well, but if otherwise, and there is the least chance made apparent that they are iu danger of being ent short in their ungodly achieve? ment, cf gains, that should revert to honesty and legitimate cuds, the hue and cry are i tu tn ed bte ly raised that ! they are burdened with obstacles and de- j prived of rights that amount to persecu? tion the most dire and insupportable. There is an adage which runs, I believe, **it is a long lane that has no turn in it," and again, another that runs, "every dog has his day." Now, it really appears to your correspondent, j that as far m we are concerned, the j turn in our lane has already been reached, and that there also is every evidence that ow tiny too, has already dawned- Nor in our success, as the Republicans have endeavored to make the negroes believe, are the rights and care of the colored people of this place to be ignored. There atc no men who eau better appreciate and understand the hituation iu which they have been placed by thc public voice, than does our excellent Mayor elect, Gen. JOHN A WAOENER, and the able board of Aldermen, who are to serve with him. Du; to the colored as well as to every other class, they will mete out eve? justice, and in doing so, will only make a proper discrimination iu favor of those among the colored, who have been most approved fer the consisten. | cy und fidelity they bare exhibited in ' standing hy, and fully recognizing the; whites as their truest friends. I nderi the reign of our newly elected leader*, ? indeed, we can confidently expect uoth log abort of economy in the admiuis j trat ton ot public affairs, less taxation,! encouragement to industry and oom tuerce, tho establishment of full confi? dence un every baud, and a general property. Tanly justice at la?t, it seems, is to be meted out, in rescuing from obiiviun the life and character - tbs immortal: ueed?and iuvaiuable Service? of the ^reat I und heroic man, Irom whoso name youri flourishing Town has bu>?n called.

Correspondence of ??e WatctiE ' CHEROKEE SPRINGS, Aug. 3, 18 Mr. Editor :-Your readers have idea how nice a place this is. Inst? of spending their money at the fashio ble watering places at the North, if < people would only patronize ho ! places, the proprietors could afford make all those improvements whi rc oder-thc Northern resorts so attr; tive. Nature has done as much for tl place as for Saratoga. The "spring tare situated about eight miles Non cast from Spartacburg C. II. T country is very billy, and the predon oeoce of red clay and rocks soon ad vis you that you are io a very diff?re region from the sand flats of Sumter. The atmosphere is very pleasant, d lightfully cool at night, and not at i oppressive in the day time. There is lightness about the air, which is chara 'eristic of the mountains. Thc Bil Ridge chain is within a few miles, at some of the mountains eao be ?ees fro elevated spots on a clear day. T! boarding house is built on the top i a little knoll cr hillock, which slop gently down in all directions. The how is not very large, sod is not built in il most approved style, but does very wei and is extremely well kept, both as 1 the table and other points. The cookin is excellent, the poultry fat and juic; the beef and mutton good, and everj thing is abundant. You bave goo coffee, plenty of fresh and nite butte: Everything is clean. Attentive servant a polite and considerate host and agreei ble company, make the place quit pleasant, for persons who really see1 health, recreation and rest. The spring is highly charged wit mineral properties, the most strong! pronounced being iron. Next come nitre, and then magnesia and sulphui The water is delightfully cool, an quite agreeable to the taste. It is usc for all purposes. The baths arc neces sarily very cold, but if eue exercise prudence, and docs not remain in th water too lorg, the e?ect is extrcmel; invigorating. Numerous testimonial (rom persons of high standing, in th< State, evince the value of the waters Ii a medicinal view. All that is wanted here is patronage It is true, there is a class of pleasure seekers who had better not come here I allude to those who regard dancing ax the summum bonum of human hap pioess. Also those who thick it ot harm to got tipsy or gamble at a wa? teriug plaoc. Ali such persons mus! go elsewhere. The owoers and keepers of these spring? are religious people, who do not sacrifice their conscientious scruples for their iuterev.. Your cor? respondent, who never played a game of cards in his life, and whose happi? ness is not affected by the absence of the "Deux Tempe," "i he Gentian" or the bar-room, finds it very plea?? ant indeed. We have a good ten-pin allej, two professors in thc house, tie waters, magnificent shades, picturesque scenery, cool auti bracing climate, good eating, and uo atuusemeu's of doubtful propriety to leave liogeriog regrets bel ad. If people are not satisfied with this place, let them betake themselves to the mixed assemblages of Saratoga or Long Branch-whrre you will lisse the ex? treme felicity of meefir.g all the hone* jockey?, gamblers and tho worst of both sexes in the dance, at the table and on the promenade. In my next I will give you a nore detailed account of the surrounding oountry, and perhaps some aooouut of who are here. You will do well in (ht mean time to advise al! your friends who are in want of a change to oome here and try ir. (J. H }\, S?RTH CAROLINA ELECTIOSl' WILMINGTON.

It was to expected that a tale of " n w head f bloody bene-" would be conjured for effect apon the Northern masses looking to the next Presidential el t?on. This is the whole business. H far it will be successful remains To sean. The Northern people are beg sing to sae through this sort of this and this rery report, it would sec must let out sufficient, truth to Si discredit apon the whole effort. If we may judge from (he stateme of Senator SCOTT and Bepresentat STEVENSON, the Republican memb of the committee, remarks the N York Sun, it would seem that they ci fined themselves, while in Sooth Ca lina, wholly to the examination of t alledged victims of thc Ka Klux a their carpet bag allies, without attemj ing, at ail, to inform themselves facts, as coming from the truthful a respectable people of the country. Tl is no doubt the case, and any one, wi ordinary acquaintance with the sitt tioo in this State, must know how i terly unreliable must bc the mass statements, gathered op from nen, sources, prompted and put forward mean while men. Everything of vi lenee resulting from the evil .passio of men, is pat down to the account the, Ku-KIux, and magnified ai distorted until scarcely a grain of tru could be sifted therefrom. Representative VAN TRUMP, hoi ever, the only Democratic member the Committee, was a decided difficui io the way. A modicum of truth, at leaf has been evolved through his connextc with this Radical strategy. While 1 admits that whippings and, in mat cases, even murders, have been con mitted among the colored people, he slow to admit that there were invariabl as is claimed, the penalty of voting tl Republican ticket. Aud ia this t oomes to the side of truth, gather? from the intelligent and reliable citizet he caused to bc summoned before tb Committee. He bad judges, lawyer ex'governers, and educated men < different political sentiments before bin And these witnesses were unanimous i io the belief that Ku-Kluxism in Soul Carolina is the natural result of th infamous and scandalous rule to whic the good people o?' thia State Bave bee subjected siacc thc so called reconstru? tioo. io the semi-official report of SCOT and STEVENSON it is stated that i every ease the colored victims of th Ku Klux were forced to forswea Republicanism, and, as an evidence o thia, attention is called to a opy of newspaper containing forty-two card signed by colored men renouncing thei allegiance to the Republican party - These cards, the Committee say, ar procured by threats and intimidation. This is not only notoriously false, bu if these men, io their blind fanaticisn and adherence to the fortunes of Radi ca Hi rn, really believe such to be fact tbey will find themselves sadly mis takes. Colored men of the better olass all over the State, are voluntarily re nouncing tho party and leaders, wh< have deceived them so often. Gradually they begin to see the rascally charactei of the carpet baggers and scalawags who have made tools of them, only thal they might be foisted into position tc fill their pockets. Many of them have acknowledged thia at Columbia and Charleston, wiihout fear or even thought of a Ku-Klux Land. And the reoent cf ' inuuieipal eleotiou of Charleston fctvea abundant testimony of the fact. More than a thousand colored men voted against their former leaders and what waa left of the Radical organiza tioo of that city. This for the sea coast where a Ku-Klux is not beard of. At York, an indignation meeting was some time since held by the colored people, the remit of which waa thal the Radical official* were called oo to resign. Upon the whola, wa think the Radi? cal wire workers will make but little out of this Ka Klux investigation business. THE CHARLESTON ELECTION. Wednesday last was a proand day for the noble old "City by the Sea." Her honest, enlightened, property holding citizens, felt that something mutt be dom, sad pat their shoulders unitedly to the wheel, determined to shove the car of (heir oity government from the miro and filth into whioh it bad fallen.

WAGIN EB over the radical-incumbent and coote: tant PILLSBURY^ Add this to th majority of colored votes east, and ? have 1279. But it is supposed that 1 least 125 white men voted for PILLI BURY. If this be sp, it shows that ?bot fourteen hundred colored men lolledfro their party nomination, and voted f< Gen. WAGENER, with all the badgerin and bullying that was brought to hoi upon them. And if the vote for Alderme be taken as data, the showing in th: way is still ifrongcr. The successful ^cit?ren*} ticket car. ried a fair representation of thc respec obie colored people of the city. An herein, io our judgement, is found th chief element which went to work th unexpected success. The spirit an basis of action, in this respect, as lai down by tbe Reform platform, was em ployed, and we think the result may b legitimately put dowo, as the first frai ofthat eminently wisc and judicious t: ample. And we have the opinion th; it will be followed with greater or let success, in the next elections, through out thc State. The colored population of Charlcsto will fiud that their real rights and in tercsts are safe in the hands of thc part or class that will now control the muni cipal affairs of thc city ; that, io trntt those right j and i u {crests are bette conserved by the class in quest io And when this comes about, Radical ism in South Carolina will be n more.

The sub-committee, consisting of Senator - Scott and .Representatives Stevenson and Van Trump, reached Washington at noon on Saturday, after a sojourn of four weeks io different" sections of South Carol ia, where they have been holding sessions and inves? tigating into the condition of affairs affecting the peace and order pf tue State and society. They first visited the capital, Colombia, More than, a hundred refugees who had fled from violence in various counties were there, but after examining wituest ses for two days the committee deter? mined ; o go closer to the scenes of) al leg. 1 v'..lenee,and went to Spartan barg. They expected to remain there1 three or four days, but stayed eleven. When word got through Spartapburg county that they were there, the whites and negroes, victims ot violence, came in by scores every day from all directions. Murders and cruel whippings by the kuklux bands had so terrified them that in many .neighborhoods nearly every negroman and Republican white man bad slept in tbe woods for mouths every night. They showed scarrified' backs, gun shot wounds, maimed ears, and other proofs of violence they had suffered. In Limestone Spring township one hundred and eighteen cases of whip? ping were proved. The comm:'.tee awoke every morning to find io the yarri by the hotel a new crowd of victims of ku klux. Some, including whites, had so?ered outrages which cannot jue described with decency. After being whipped, the victims, if well koo.sa persons, were often commanded, uuder pain of death, to publish a card renouncing the Republican party. In a file of the Sooth Carolina Spartan, the D?mocratie Newspaper, forty-two such cards were found recently pub? lished! At Unionville the committee stayed two days. Not an avowed whit?: Ke publican was found in th? plaee, though members of the committee were pri? vately assured by a few that tbty tjrould avow themselves if protected. ; The terror of the negroes here is com plete The last election was carried by a Rep?blica! majority, but tb? Repub? lican county officers received kx' klux notices, and all resigned or fled. I The policy there has been more toward murder ar>d Ieee toward Whipping. The killing of ten negroes, taken frccu the jail by several hundred ku kiar, sating uoder military organisation, was investigated. A prominent lawya-r ef the place, a Democrat, on eroses exami? nation, startled the committee by stating that he believed almost e?.very i respectable un m "ried young Baft ia the community belonged to the* ka klux. ! A negro Methodist preacher, ntl med Lewis Thompson, who had an app-pint ment, June 16, at Goabed Hill Chu rch, Union eontty, received a ka klux notice in the usual form not to preach. He preached, notwithstanding, to a very few, most of the congregation fleeing when they saw the . notice. In ?he evening a clan of twenty mouoteft ko klux came, tied bia and whipped him, led hioj off several times, dragging* bio part of the way, tied to Uta norse, ?jhip? ped him again until near death, mutillated him ia a way that cunno* with propriety be described ; bung bia?, snd threw the body into Tiger riper, leaving a notice forbidding.any oas. to bury him. Before tba committee ra> turned, Senator Scott swot Thompson's brother, now a refugee, from Columbia to Union county, with a tetter to; ensure him a strong guard of th? United States cavalry to gp with bim sud bury the body, which waa reponed to? be still lying half decomposed on tba water's edge.

Tbe band and those with it, negroes, were kept by'"two village" policemen from the aide-walk. One negro was- thrust off by the-policeman, who says the negro resisted and struck, brio? lite negro and two_ men t who ^ were close bj. say the negro straggled to get away from seUe'd, Jr?sro away the ^police man fired at . trie negro, and" cob tinned -firing until he bsd, inflicted' five ^wounds. The pan "was still living when thc. committee left - The testimony fakeu . subsequently showed that policeman and the Mayor or intendant were members of tbe ku klux. No cae was arrested. The Community in York county was found to be in almost utter social and political demoralization, the civil authority being a useless farce and a i mockery of the victims of the ku-klux clans. '' Colonel Merrill, in command of*?i small force stationed there", an officer of high character and great energy, lard before the committe the details ol sixty eight cases of ootrage whick he had investigated-some of theo, most revolting and. .horrible. It wis found imposible for;tbe committee to . examine more than a small- part of the crowds of whipped, maimed, or terror-stricken wretches.who flocked in upon), bearing of their coming. When tbe committee adjourned tbe building in ?hieb they had sat waa filled--stairs), balls sod porches-with those waiting to be heard. The? usual course pursued on arriving at a plane was to divide the time they,expected to remain .between tbe ma, or i ty. and the inioority of the committee. J udge Van Trump usually called two or three ol the. most promi? nent lawyers, who each occupied several hours in setting forth the Dem oe-alic .view of affairs, giving, tbeir opinions on the relations of the. two races, the inefficiency and corruption of the State government, and the feeling of the while people towards the General Government. '1 bey always said they had beard of the ku klux, bot never taw ene ; generally they seemed to regard them as a kind of vigilance committee or irregular pelioe ; did not consider thea under general organisa? tion, bat simply to*, repress outbreaks. The majority then called those who bad seen and felt ibo ku-klux. The oaths, forms ot proceeding in klan councils, and modes of operation when riding-on raids were fully developed. Seores ol men, whom the proof snowed to bc ko klux, were examined, all nf whom, ex? cept a few whose disclosures were fnll and important, denied any knowledge whatever of ku klux. One, who wat shown to have been in several cruel outrages, swore that he bad never beare of the existence of ku klux in his life Judge Vas Trump subjected all thc witnesses called by the majority to tb? mest searching orou-cxamination.

The tongue of slander is glib ard active. An evil word spoken in haste is indiscreetly conveyed, and, in ita repetition, often exaggerated. Bcd -i blood is generated, and human blocd flows, desolating the household, leaving widows and orphans the victims of pas? sion, and wounded honor washed io blood smells no sweeter for the lurid ablation. .* These thoughts come upon reading the sad tragedy enacted recently in New Orleans. Mr. Raioey having been j in business with Mr. Boyd, was dissat? isfied with bis management, and spoke ^ of Boyd as a thief. Boyd called on him k and asked him to retract. Rainey ... refused. Boyd shot and killed him E instantly, without any warniug or threat. Both parties moved io respectable cir- J? cles. Boyd was a cotton press man. ? Rainey W33 the book keeper of a.?Q national bank. Has Boyd proven, by j being a murderer, (for in law be i?|j| nothing else,) that he is not a thief? If j he has never stolen before, has be not stolen a precious life from orphan ? children which he cannot restore? Why was this killing? Because society 1 . had heard the whisperings of this foul i slander, and, unless Boyd killed the man who cal ed him a thief, hil friends I and acquaintance would cut him as a ]^ coward?and a poltroon. How little there is of true courage in all this ? How blamable the whole affair ? And yet the surface of present society is rotten with this polluted j principle. Msn should learn that time wears out slander, and that rectitude of conduct give the lie to cowardice, j There is true bravery in leaving the ?T? slanderer to perish in his own eorrup lion. We ned a "new departure " to cor? rect this evil of society, for the sake of, ?Q (ridow and orphan?. !** THC SOUTHERN FAVORITE.
