[Chester Reporter. To the Citizens of South Carolina. Croi.yMfnif, S. C, Oct. 21. LS72. Ivor the information of the public and for the purpn e ol' protecting the taxpay ers of this State against a scheme which bus been gotten up by certain Slate pflir rials, by w hich certain men arc to make a largo amount of money by defrauding the pople, I wish to address to you a few-words. A little more than one year ago I was supported to the position ol Auditor ofStnto, and since that time I hiivc endeavored to du my duty in that connection to, tlje hn-s nV .: - V-? I low far I have'succeeded renmins for thb pcXipTc to decide. Tili hVat action, which', out (?I* my regular course ol (lutics, I deem it incumbent upon pic to take, was 'the pVev'? dt fori of the' MrctilatT?ii of the lllue Itidgei scrip. This, I was repeatedly told'by the (iiivcrnor, some one was going to do; but after waiting until almost too t?te, I learned that the action of the Governor was simply for the purpose 'of forcing John J. Patterson, the President of the company, (<? pay certain claims ? which lie! held 'against the road, in the shape of a note of the company, w hich he p fob tired in a way not likely t<> add to the reputation fd'hri honest man. Warling, us I have heretofore soul, until almost too late, for some one to take' this matter into the courts, I finally instituted the necessary proceedings, with the sanction of (lieGovernor. After proceedings had been commenced and the usual necessary inducements been oflcrcd his Excellency, an effort was made by himself ami others intcre'tcil. to induce me to withdraw the suit. Ten thousand dollars in cash was offered me by tine party the day that the case came into court; and an indirect otfer of $23,000 in scrip was subsequently made by another partv, in case I would consent to withdraw the suit. This, T, ol course, refused ; and the matter ha? been a bone of contention between us ever since. An effort was. made soon after the ad journment of the Legislature, and contin ued for some two or three months, fo in duce mo to levy a special tax to pay the interest upon the entire bonded debt.of the State, legal and illegal, to bo collect ed immediately This I iclosed, although an inducement of ?20,000 in cash was offered me, to either levy the tax or re sign my position for the purpisc of alloy ing Or. Ncaglc to make the levy; and, at the tame time, I was informed that Governor Scott had promised Dr. Ncaglc to remove me, in case I refused to make the levy. J again declined to comply with their wishes. Now, a second effort has been inado to force mo to levy a tax to pay the intern t upon the fraudulent debt of the State,ami to include a levy of three mills upon tho dollar to redeem $.100,000 of lho Blue Ridge scrip?one quarter of the entire issue?which has, by decision of his, Honor .Judge A. ,1. tV.il In rd, of iho Su premo Court, been decided unconstitu tional and invalid, * , Now, while 1 deem it the. duty of every good citizen to pay ail just and lawful taxes,! do not '-consider it his duty'io'pny, every tax1 that liiay \S? inipWd hy Ism scrupulous men, Who chance to In in power. Nor do I consider ? the dot- of any officer who, through ? he force of pir ^umsfanccs, happens to be the appointee or such men/ to blindly follow their dnitn tion, without regard to right 01 wrang. 80 thinking, and acting as I consider it the duty of a good officer 'and''an honest wmu; I have again refused to comply ymli. their wishes : and I haVo thin day rc(?. iv cd an order removing nie fromi office. It is but just tof myself to add, that I#as informed by his Excellency the Governor that I might retain the 'office, provided I would make the levy. His Ex eel 11^*' while" insisting upon the- levy of taxes, informed me. that he knew .'he money,' if*collected, would not bo applied to the purpose, for which it, was lev * but that that was none of Our biisin that it was our duty to" levy the tax fjjnd he based his argument upon thc.grbmid that many outstanding claims were _j?p.\v held against the Stale, (of which the possessor to the amount of 640,001 he himself-informed ine,') and that the Treasurer would have no funds to i them. His" only other argument that he had publicly pledged his worj Henry Clews.cv. co. that thorax woul? levied, and thatshouM it not lie, he w{ stand before the people in tho iigl inconsistency. This scheme is, as I have said, no t movement; but while Auditor of the I T succeeded in prcvcntinjg its constujj tion. Iking no longer in such nbsj I am powerless to protect your inU-i and 1 now leave it to you to say, t hk.plot, ho-fortfielt,uW '11"A,yryhfr jet* tod to p'aV'Ihis enormous tax, amount ing to twenty mills for State, and. in this County, five am', one- half mills for County?two and one-lujjf times."the tax of last year ? or will you unite in a deter, mined cllor*. fo prevent the continuance id* the frauds w hich have impoverished the people and disgraced the State?/fo bring stich an eflV.rt to a successful issue, 1 pledge for my own part my most hear ty co-operation.

The course that has been pursued of the present administration has been subversive of all local beif-govcrniucu^ ami hostile to the rights and liberties <f the citizen, as to have excited tho great; est apprehension for the safely uf our free institution-, and has aroused the iir tclligcnt and Conservative masses of tb? nation to a united und determined cflbif to secure, if possible, the govcrnmctft from the hands of its present audneioo] and unscrupulous rulerr, and bring t back to its constitutional bearings.. More than this?so alarming and wide spread has been the grow th of corrupliol in high places as to have tainted all tin fountains of public justice, ami so recking ; the use of corrupt instrumentalities bj public officials as to umlennind even principle of honor and honesty in tlid breasts of the people, ami prepare tin way for tho rapid and altno.it surc.duca\ of all public virtue.. To arrest the spread of these evil am dangerous tendencies, and to save to tin] people, the s.tb.-lance as well as form of 1] constitutional republic, the e'ui/.cns of all classes ami panics have organized a holy linn, indestructible alliance in behalf 01 purity iu government and sympathy um reconciliation between sections.

The citizens wcroKtill under alms and in appreh'em sien of an attack by reinforcements . for Fit/patrictv from over the Crittendcn Counfy border. Tho jail was crowded* with prisoners, captured along the dif ferent mads south of the town by the' parties', 'who pursued tho FLtrpatriek l.iramr . Several !PI*r*Uly*ui lu-.m.-tbt [woiiiidod, anil, of these, all save one bad been sent to their old homes, to ho cared for by their friends. The wounded fellow in jail is said to have been, a very bad man, who had contributed largely toward inciting the blacks to insurrection and engendering prt judicos ngninst the whites. A number id' "Misfeoitrl 'peo-plo, who came in to assist the citizens, htive re turned, and those remaining hi the tow n tire now quiet nnd orderly, but deter mined to defend themselves should hostile demons'trations 'lie made. They nitvc plact d tl.'. in.-elvc-- under the orders ol'the Sheriff, whom they obey implicitly, and the'opinion expressed that there will be no more trouble, unless a raid is attempt ed by bad influences from Crittendcn County. The country bordering along theiivor, below Osceola, is in a state of fermenting excitement, und all sorts of wild rumors are current rcgardimj: skirmishes, Unities, preparations for war in adjacent' neigh borhoods, and a Kpmd of citizens have lx*clt scouring the country for several I days, capturing the blacks who served under Fitzpatrick, wnon found with arms in their hands. All of the latter who have been captured are meek and peni tent, and declare they will not aghin bo caught in stich company. Several claim ed to have been "pressed into the gang'. Reports arc current that a number of flic blacks wcrCvsljot and killed while being pursued after Fitzpatrick fled. .The lat ter narrowly escaped capture on Thurs day hist, having been chased so. closely that he left his horse, one of Urn finest in the country, ami his gun, a splendid FTenry nuej in the bauds of his captors. Fitzpatrick crossed in a skiff at Pecan Point over to the Tennessee shore, in company with two of his black brothers, on Friday last, and on .Sunday, lie was in the city. Sunday he went over to Mar'ion to confer with tho county officials and diners of his political friends. Sunday night he is known to have been in caucus with a number of persons, and .several armed bands of blacks wi re prowling around Marion, and had expressed a desire to move northward towards Mis sissippi County.
