WASHTNOTON, October 30.--It appears
from private intelligence from North Caro- |
lina, that not more than two nf thc candi?
dates for Congress in that State, if elected,
can take the prescribed oath that they
have never voluntarily aided th? rebellion.
There Ls apprehension of a dearth of
food in North Carolina hefors thc next crop
is secured. Tho present crop is very ma?
terially injured by the protracted drought
which has prevailed. Thc crop has boen
very limited in parts of the State where
there were military operations on a large
scale.

From Washington.
WASHINGTON, October 33.-Official infor*
Elation has boon received that England has
removed the restrictions on American na?
tional vessels lately retained by that Go?
vernment. Therefore our Government has
withdrawn tho orders given to our own
navy to make discriminations in regard io
their visits in British ports, and intercourse
wtih Briti ' naval vessels.
Official intelligence has also boen received
that tho British commander iu tho Pacific
has boen ordered to tend cruisers in quest
of the Shenandoah.
ft is stated in a very intelligent quarter
that the President is considering the point
of commuting the death penally, which, it
is generally believed, baa been the sentence
of Wirz by the military commission.
It is stated that the Secretary of War has
ordered another jail delivery of prisoners
now incarcerated ir. different prisons in tho

Mission ot Jlr. < ushing to England.
WASBXNOTON, October 20.-In connection
wirh thc subject matter of the alleged mis?
sion of Mr. dishing to England, (whether
ho goes or somebody else,) ic may be stated
as a matt er of belief hy well-informed and
sonni men, that, tho "British Government
or Ministry jis willing to pay the claims
based upon tho depredations ol' the rebel
piratea which were fitted ont in English
waters. Thc reason of this is thc fear of
the Ministry that the tallies may bo turned
upon Great" Britain Jat some future time.
It wem better for her to pay now even an
immense sum than to suffer hereafter not
only a direct loss as we have, in veassels
and cargoes, but also aa we have in the
loss for years of profits upon the carrying
trade of so great a portion of our commer?
cial marino by its transfer to foreign hands.
The great difficulty of the British Ministry
in thia regard is the decision of High
Chancellor Wood, that the claims are not
founded in the law of nations by reason of
the fact that the rebel States were a defacto
government. But it may be contended by
ns, th*t where claims heretofore have been
barred by such a fact or legal idea, that
the de facto rebel or belligerent power had
been recognized by the nations ot tho
earth, or som? considerable part of them.
The rebel South-had recognition from none.
Perhaps the British Ministry are willing to
be convinced by this suggestion, and thus
avoid the hazardous experiment of offend?
ing the British people by disregarding the
apparent determination or decision of their
judges. _ _
THE "WHITE MEN AND THE NEOBO.
The Louisville Journal says :
With reference to the destiny of the
emancipated slaves, our conviction is,
that as long as they remain in tho
midst of the white people, as freemen,
they must labor daily for their own
livelihood, and that, finally, they must
give way before the increasing emi?
gration of white laborers into the
South -whenever thc latter can answer
thc need for labor in that soction.
Believing, as we do, in the superiority
in every respect, of the white man
over the negro, and holding, also,
that there is no portion of thc coun?
try, between here and the Gulf, where
the white mun cannot successfully till
the soil, we have felt warranted in tue
prediction that, the ultimate destiny
of the negro will be similar to that of
the Indian, who have exercised su?
preme control over the present States
fif the Union, has been driven from
his iormer hunting grounds to the
mosl sterile rt.-gioa oi the far Wost,
whence he must soon depart to make
room for tho resistless tide of white
emigration.

ANOTHBB FEARFUL, CATASTROPHE. -
We have to record in our news
column? to-day another awful steam?
boat disaster within the precincts of
She city. The magnificent Albany
steamer St. John, on her arrival here
yesterday morning from the State
capital, was the scene of a most terri?
ble calamity, by which nine live?
were instantly sacrificed and fifteen
persons t horribly wounded. As the
steamer was nearing her dock in *he
North Riser, apposite Hoboken, the
boiler expledea, blowing away several
of the state-rooms, and either killing
or scalding all the inmates. From
tiie statements which have reached us
this accident was evidently tho result
of gross carelessness, the engineer,
or his assistant, as it is asserted by a
passenger, having been discovered
asleep previous to and at the time .of
the explosion. We trust that the in?
vestigation will be conducted with a
view to ascertain it' this bo so, and to
put the responsibility upon tho guilty
parties. It will be remembered that
the Grand Jury recently indicted for
manslaughter the owners of the steam -
j bout Arrow. There is now another
ease in which the authorities can
J exercise themselves with great profit
I to thc community, and wc hope they
I will not be deterred from doing

Archbishop Connolly, ot' Nova

thc Sacred lleart at Sault Recoll?t,
i in Canada, last week, took particular
' notice of Mis Maggie Davis, daugh?

Xcw Fenian Trojeet?.
The Fenian Senate, composed of
some fifteen persons, has. wo under?
stand, been in secret session in this
city for thc past few days, cogitating
on some initiatory project in the
new revolutionary movements in the
British empire-probably to be the
seizure of a portion of the British
Ajnerican, colonies in Canada or Nova
Scotia, thence to inaugurate on a sub?
stantial basis the insurrection, which
is not to be merely an Irish affair, but
a British republican revolution, ex?
tending throughout the entire empire
anti! an English republic is estab- j
lished. "When the Fenians have es?
tablished themselves in ono of the i
British provinces, they can fit out
some Irish Alabama or Shenandoah, I
or say a dozen or two of them, and
commence operations against British
commerce on the high seas. In these
matters, of course, our Government is
strictly neutral. It has nothing to
say upon the question, and will un?
doubtedly preserve that rigid system
o? neutrality which the Government
of England observed during our four
years' war. Indeed, we might reply
to the British Government, in the
words of Lord Bussell, that these
British republicans are seeking for
their independence, while the British
Government is seeking for empire.
"Wo believe that there has been a
large accession of united States officers
of high rank and much experience in
thc late war to the ranks of the Fe?
nians-men who will no doubt bring
wisdom, caution and discipline to the
movement, which, in thc hands of
blatant orators and selfish, inexpe?
rienced agitators, might have proved
a fizzle. However, whatever new
projects the Fenian revolutionists may
nave in view in British America or
elsewhere, our Government will not
trouble itself about them. Wo pre
sumo that the precedent set by Eng?
land during om- rebellion will be a
sufficient guide ? : tho action of the
Fenians. Who events progress for
a few weeks we may ask Lord Palmer?
ston and Lord Russell how they like
playing the game out.

A QUEER STOBT FBOM PENNSYT,VA
xiA..-A letter to the Pittsburg Chro
rdcle, dated at Clearfield, Pa., October
8, tells a doubtful story of an organ?
ized band who intend to resist the
bounty tax in Pennsylvania. The
writer, who uses extremely bad Eng?
lish, says :
It is noting to see from sixty to one
hundred men drilling in the woods,
and they are all armed with Spencers
and sixteen shooters, navies and
sabres; it is their intention to burn
up all men's buildings that had any?
thing L do with laying on the bounty
tax. In Indiana County, on the 28th
of September, when Go vero or Curtin
was in Indiana, they had a meeting
in the woods, between there and the
Bural village, and there was over two
hundred men present. They held
their meeting in the woods at night.
It's time there was something done,
for there is no teUing when they will
commence their work of destruction.
They are going to tear up the Central
Railroad, to keep troops from being
sent up in this part of the country.
I heard some of them say, at a meet?
ing, that there would be a rise from
Delaware to the Rocky Mountains. I
have heard them say that they would
make their bounties of some of the
old fellows that had their boys all at
home -when the war was going on. A
man that had anything to do with the
laying on of the bounty tax had better
be lighting out for some other part of
the country. The first thing they do
will be to capture Pittsburg to get
artillery. Little did they think .when
they were letting the soldiers take
their arms home with them the uso
they were going to make of them. I
know of two powder mills in the woods
in this County. They are going to
carry the thing on a big scale. One
half of the men in this part of the
County belong to this band of cut?
throats. They have their pass-words
and bye-laws, almost as the Knights
of the Golden Circle. J. G. W.

OBTTTTARY,
Died, in New York, on the 2Sth ultimo, of
typhoid fever, caused by overexertion. Mr.
ir. Xi- VAZiO&Y, fur .se veral year? a resident
of this city. He was well known in this
community, and leaves a large family and
circle of acquaintances to mourn his loss.
Died, on the 21st of August, in Pickens
District, HATTIE A. RICHARDSON, be?
loved wife of J. Frank Richardson, and
eldost daughter of G. S. Bower, of Colum?
bia, S. C.
A few short months ago, tho subject of
this little tribute left the home of her
childhood, her fond parents and sister, a
lovoly bride; and with a kind and devoted
husband she lived happily the few months
allotted her on earth. Although far away
from her parents, she was surrounded by
loving relatives in her last moments. Our
dear Hattio possessed an amiable and gen?
tle disposition, and by her noble qualities
endeared herself to * many friends. Her
mild, gentle countenance beamed with love,
and each smile was wreathed with purity
and innocence. It was the privilege of the
writer to be with her during uer last illness,
and saw bow she bore, without a murmur,
her intense suffering*. She put her trust
in God, and was sustained by His love in
her last moments.
On her dying bed she evinced ber love
for Him, and we now trust she is "a mem?
ber of the church triumphant in Heaven."
She spoke with great calmness to her be?
reaved husband and friends, of futurity.
Enshrined in our hearts arc the requests
for her parents and sister far away, as well
as for those around ber couch, as sin; bado
each farewell, "to meet ber in Heaven."
Her last words, so expressive of her
meek, quiet spirit, were: "I will bc their
guardian angel around the throne of God."
when the hand of death is lain upon one
so young and lovely, wc feel its terrors
with greater keenness. Snatched away in
all her radiant loveliness from a beloved
husband, a lit Lie babe, who ne*? r had smiled
upon irs mother, fond parents, we feel
'tis bard, but bow Lo the Divine decree, and
say, ilThy will, oh! Lord, not minc, bo
done." Her bright spirit has only flitted
away from eanh to rest in realms of bliss.
May the bereaved partner bc sustained by
the* hand of his Saviour in this sad loss",
and 'live in hope of a sweet re-union Lu
Heaven. Her stricken relatives and friends
have the consolation, that 'ere long we
shall all meet in that "blissful land above,"
to unite with the loved outs gout before,
in singing sweet anthems in the choir of
Hcaven.
Bi*d. on the 1st ol September, HATTIE
BOWER, infant daughter ol Hattie A. and
J. Frank Richardson, aged two weeks and
fou r days.

dight to join tts angel mother in Heaven.
COUSES ALICE.
To the Members of the Legislature.
Without any disparagement of the other
respectable gentlemen who have teen
named fur state Treasurer, tho friends of
Mr. EDWIN J. SCOTT would respectfully
urge his eminent fitness and qualifications
for that office.
Left an orphan at an carly age, he en?
tered into a mercantile employment, when
fourteen years old, under a gentleman of
this place, in tho year 1817. From that
time to this - a term of forty-eight years
ho has been exclusively devoted to such
labors and occupations as constitute the
very best preparation for the efficient dis?
charge of tho duties of this office.
In 1S22, penniless and friendless, he went
to Lexington District; in two years was
elected Tax Ooth-etor. and served two
terms; was twice elected Clerk of the Court
of Common Pleas - the last time without
opposition -and during that timo repre?
sented that District in the Convention of
1832; for tho last twenty-seven years has
been Toller and Cashier in thc Commercial
Bank of this city. Never seeking notoriety
or diversion from the strict line of his pro?
per duties, he was called, by tho general
voice of those who knew bim, to a seat in
the Board of Trustees of the Columbia
Female College, to the State Central Asso?
ciation for the relief of our soldiery, to our
City Council administration, to a seat in
thc present Legislature, taougriannounced
only throe days before the election.
This may seem an honorable record, but
it is one of which ho need uot.be ashamed
?Without thc prestige of ancestral honors
with no family influence-:w|th no education
except as he taught himself.-he has
wrought his way up to a place among tho
most honorable. .. *
Thrown ont of. his proper sphere of em?
ployment by the results bf thc war, impo?
verished as we all are, he is in want;.but he
seeks no charity from the State. Working
all bis life for hit) daily bread, he will do so
to the end; and" by bis integrity, financia]
?ibihtios and wkV range of experience, will,
if elected, render the public interests a full
equivalent for any compensation or emolu?
ments of the office._" * *
