Ind a certain Man went down into Jericho, and fell among Thieves, It is not surprising that the northern yressshould fall into many errors in their discussion of the condition of affairs in the south, especially iu South Carolina and Louisiana. A cloud of calumnies, controversies and errors hangs over the social chaos and veils from the eve of the moBt partient observer nil the details of the scene. Ilcre and there a writer> catching sight of the ill-defined outliue ?f some portentous evil winch easts a | Wack shadow over the field, studies it so feras hecan and, impressed hy its magnitude, describes it as the main feature of the picture. Those who best understand the actual condition of society, and are best fitted to give a fair account of k? evils and of their causes, who see both the good and the evil of both political parties, and of both races, draw back from the attempt to do justice to so perplexing a, question, and leave to correspondents and- tourists the task of enlightening the northern public from the results of their necessarily hasty and imperfect observations. A common mistake is to attribute all the evils which mil riot in South Carolina to what is call dcarpet bag governments; and place on the shoulders of carpet baggers the responsibility for {ill thatis corrupt in public affairs in all departments of the state. There are two errors in this generally accepted view. First it is a mistake to ascribe to them the control iu any part of the government, or even anv considerable influence. They are really insignificant in numbers, as wc* will presently how, and those who still remain in office are doomed soon to be swept away by the tide of Africanization which seems destined to take complete possession of the state. (tf jv,Ugo.< on th? bench two are can>et baggers; of eight circuit solicitors, three are carpet baggers; of one hundred and twenty-four members of the house, eight; of thirtythree senators, two; of thirty two county auditors, three; and of thirtytwo county treasurers, five. Among the principal officers of the state, only the comptroller general and the superinten dent at education are oi the proscribed class. Secondly, it is an error to hold that their influence, whatever it m ly bo, is generally or pre-eminently used selfishly or corruptly. On the contrary, the few who are found in the legislature, on the bench and iu the executive departments are, to say the least for them, the most respectable element iu a government which is justly a reproach and a shame, and an object of contempt and hatred to the country. If there are degrees in an infamy which contaminates every man wBoappruaches its seat and centre, the carpet bagger must be allowed to be some shades less black than his associates. It is not (fortiori fli.-it lirivn been, and arc atuoug the class in question persons who are justly obnoxious to the aooat emphatic censure which lias been bo Urtly bestowed upon them, both by j the southern people and the northern ; press. It ? not intended to say ouc wort! to shield any such from merited con- j detonation. But it is important to all study of the southern problem to make a correct diagnosis. Any work for the regeneration of the south, that is begun i;i ignorance of facts will be labor to no [ ur poscv And finally, from these mistaken vt? wit results, tlmt the cleu out in the southern pbpulationr ftroui whose wholesome influence most of good is to lie | hoped in any effort to rescue the south from complete ruin, is pttralys d for effi- 1 orcnt service.- Vor in South Carolina, !

W e know that sometimes this is strenuously denied, but the expe- I rieucc of every man from the north who has endeavored to establish himself in j any branch of business in this state since the war will prove the fact beyond cot troversy.

' tn< Who buys the Forfeited Lands. The Union-llrrald points out with great effect that it is a mistake to suppose an that when the taxes arc so heavy as to ta compel the owners of land to sell, the *a poorer eiass can buy. The middle class c': may buy, but real poor men can't. When taxes are so high, rtntand provis- ^1 ions arc high, and yet wages are low. It as hits the poor man loth ways. Every poor 00 man should keep this in mind. That is 00 the reason why, although about 250,000 acres of land have been sold for taxes nc lately, still the State has bad to ake it S11 all, and the poor man has not been able to buy a tax title. There is uo getting pr round that fact. fr< In this county hundreds of poor col- tij ored men have been sold out of house w! and home for non-payment of taxes, and there will be many more sold out this jia Kurimr: but we have yet to hear of an cll 'I'** O* - w instance where any colored man has ! p], bought a piece of land at these tax sales, tu unless he was an office holder or a member of the legislature. In proportion to |,i; their numbers and the amount of land (U owned by them, the colored people of Uj this county have suffered more from the j0 operation of the tax net than their white fellow tax payers. 0IJ In the two townships of St. Helena and w] Beaufort, the fifty per cent penalty for w] non-return of real estate to the auditor an has been added upon the property of p<. over one thousand colored landholders. | w| It is estimated that the sum of five I t|,, thousand dollars will be collected out of I sk these poor people this year, over and I a , above what would be collected from the I c], same number of persons able to inform gr, themselves of the requirements of the U1( laws. btc Those who are so blatant in their al, appeals to voters to " stand by their own 1 color," have taken little care to instruct tin them and protect them against, the over J0 assessment of their property and the ep accumulation of penalties, pp On several occasions lately, we have frc called attention to this matter, and we ?o recently visited the Comptroller Geucr- gp al's office to see if an abatcnieut could not be made for these poor ignorant people. Mr. Alfred Williams has, we believe, called the attention of our dele- Ti gation to the facts, and some efforts will probably be made to rectify what ought to yo have been prevented. to - ' 11 " 7 iik In making up the .memorial to j ?ri Coiigre. -1In' taxpayers might have made j ,V it much more pungi nt by sticking to I ...... itu.tw Tlnr.- is nut :i week misses I It. in which Mime ]>romiucnt leader of the j eoi doiuiiiant party, or .some committee com- | po>cd entirely of republicans does not , furnish the necessary materials for such a j locum* nt.

It has long been a desideratum to tain some material for the pavement sidewalks which would be free from ' defects inherent in all substances h-rto used. Innumerable have been ; uiicinpta to compass this end, but none hare met with more than partial success, until the introduction of "Shillinger's Artificial Stone " This composition is bated upon the well known qualities of P ?tl&od cement, which, however, have never before been so completely and satisfactory utilized. This stone is composed of Portland cement, sand and gravel, in certain portions, and cxpei lenee demonstrates its adoption tot very purpose for which stone is appropriated, and many wherein the use of natural .-tone Would he impracticable. Si ie walks, which aro to be subject to the ceaseless tre.ul of hurrying multitudes iu a great city, aud without the thorough usage occasioned by the handling of heavy machines, should cliarly he pnescsmd of lhe essentials of streng'h durability and economy. That tin se pertain in an eminent degree to the Scbrllttiger Stone is amply t proven by the result of a series ol experiments, carefully conducted by ablest engineers of Euroj>e and America, including among others of acknowledged skill Maj. Gen. Q A. Gilmore, U. S. A. These experiments were chiefly directed towards the exhibition of the following qualities iu this artificial product: 1st. Its tensile strength or ultimate power of resistance. 2d. Its power tc withstand compression. 3d. Its increase in durution. 4th. Its value compared with other combination. 5th. The relative cost of modern sidewalks. The power required to reud asuuder one square inch of Portland cement, 320 days old, is found to he 1.152 pouuds. The superiority of Portland cement for a building material, at compared with bricks, is shown by the fact, that the former yields only to the crushing pressure of 120 tous, wbik Stafford blue brick pulverized at 50 tons, fire clay at 05, and Med way pressed brick at 4S tons. Another remarkable property of the cement is the certainty with which it hardens; a mixture or equal parts ol cement and saud. withstand a pctssurr of 100 pounds to the square Inch at ihe expiration of one week. 244 pouuds iu three months, 318 pounds in twelve months, and 351 pounds in two years, showing iucrease of duration in twe years of a fraction of 119 per cent.

In General Gilmorc's treatise on lime, hydraulic cements, and mortars, we find valuable testimony to the great superiority of the Portland above all other cements. Blocks of each were moulded-8 inches long by 2 inches wide and thick under a pressure of 32 pounds to the square inch. These weie bioken on supports lour inches apart, the pr? ssnrc Ix ing app it d mid way between the supports. The blocks bad been kept in sea-wait r after the first thirty-four hours and were 320 days old when broken. The weight requisite to break the Portia ud jmrr, was 1,5-19 lbs; mixed wiili one equal part of sand 1,200 pounds; one part cement and two of sand. 9o0 pounds. Out of twelve other well known cements. the nearest approach to the above is the Cumberland, which required a breakiug of, respectively, 954, 920 and 554 pounds. The othera were so far below us to make couiparisoii absurd. The cost of sidewalks varies not only with the material, but with the facilities for obtaining it and the natural features of the locality where it is to laid. Precise figures are difficult to give, but it is safe to say that, all things being considered, the Schlllinger Artificial Stone is decidedly the cheapest material ever employed. The walks composed of a mixture ol asphaltum with saud and gravel pre scut a pleasing appearance at lirst, but experience shows that changes of temperature seriously affect them, while the odor emeualiug from the compound is often veiy disagreeable; above all, they fail to bear the wear and tear ol ordinary trallic. Asphaltum was long used by i he ship-builders of Glasgow, aud elsewhere, for lining iron vessels, but it could not endure tropical heat, aud Portland cement has lately been substituted; this is found to answer perfectly, protecting cargoes u<?t only from heat, but from rust and bilge-wa ter. To illustrate the endurance of' artificial stone, With this comet)t for its chief ingredient, we will mention the pavement of King William's Bridge, Edinburg; that in the Court-yard ol the Liverpool Exchange; and ihe platform and ll mr of the railroad Station at Ncwcasile. These have been laid for p> riods ranging from four to fouri teen years, and. although subject to heavy usages, have actually improved with lirue. lu London, Liverpool, mid other cities of Englaud, it is largely used for walls and llo??ra of houses, stable?, &c.; being fouud not only durable aud economical, but possiug In/(italic iiro/tciiiat, preventing dampness by its noh-absorbant quality.

The adaptability of this stone to irregu ar surfaces, its smoothness and freedom from dust, added to ils sterliug qualities of strength and endurance, make it the very best article which human ingenuity has ever devised for sidewalks and building purposes generally Address Shillinger Stone Artificial Company, Columbia, S.
