TM riMT (TOUT. On tko I ret Coor of tko main building, wktnk ie throe atorlee high and forty foot wide ky eighty font long, are the oflice of tbn proprietor, aernral piece* of manhinnry, of wkiob morn hereafter, and a thirty-home power engine manufactured at the Phoenix Iron Work* ? Thia engine, driving nineteen piece* of machinery, i* a model of implieity, strength and beauty. The boiler la ont in the yard, eneloaed within brick wall*, with tile roof and no window*. It I* fed by machinery which draw* cold water from nn artesian well and aend* It hot into the boiler. By the limply turning of a crank, water ean also be drawn from the ci*tern. The mo*t noticeable pieee of macbiery on this floor ia the Rum Monitor Moulding Machine for cornice*, Ac., only four of which are in u?e in the United State*. A rough plant will be put in the machine and when It comca out is moulded to *uit?either of the largest pattern, medium or the smallest *i*e, the latter being no larger than an ordinary lead pencil. There are one hundred and four" teen pattern* of moulding, all of wbioh are made in thl* shop. Near the moulding machine are two lathe* (made in the shop,) large and small jiu, by which anything of wood, in diameter and twenty feet long, can be turned. A circular law for ripping out planka for the moulding machine completer the machinery on thia floor. ran sncoisn rtooa la devoted to machinery eapecially adapted to the making of blinda, doora and saahes. The first piece the visitor cornea to ia for making blind alata. A rough piece of wood ia inaertcd, and, in a moment, cornea out planed amoothly on both aidea, and the edge* beaded. Tbe piece ia now long enough for four alata. It ia taken to an adjaoent machine, and, at one atroke, tbe alata are cut tbe required length, and tbe pivot alao cut on both enda. Now tbe alata are ready for the blind. It ia generally known lhat the alata la upper portion of a blind are inaertcd in groovea, and are atationary, which thoae in tbe lower part are on pivota, and can be turned at willHere there ia a machine for eutting the groovea for tbe atationary alata, and another cuta the bolea for the pivot alata. Still another machine mortises to any deaired depth, width, or length. Another machine does the tenoning, i. e.. cuta tbe tongue of any aite desired to fit in the mortises. A small scroll raw, under *be bands of a skilful workman, such as Mr. Una sen employs, is wen wormy 01 noting. ocrous of any design can be sawed out in a moment. During our visit, Mr. Russell amused himself and the visitors by cutting wood into all sorts of fantastical shapes. There are one or two circular saws for ripping out wood for the frames of doors, sashes and blinds. When it is known that fifty pair of blinds can be turned out in one day, that most of the machinery can cut out one hundred slats, or cut one huodred tennona or mortises while one was being done in the old way by hand, the advantage ef this machinery, and the benefits of such an establishment, may be readily conceived. is used as a store-room, in which is stored the work of tbe establishment. All descriptions of mowldhig, scroll, sash, blind and door work are to be found here, and will compare favorably with any work of tbe kind made elsewhere. Our citisens need no assurance of the truth of this assertion, for everywhere throughout tbe city are to be seen specimens of Mr. Russell's manufacture. Mr. Russell also receives large orders from tbe interior of this and tbe adjoining Stetes. TIE OTHER BOtLDmO. Having finished an inspection of the main building, we will go to the other and lesser one. It is one story in height, thirty feet wide and sixty feet long. In it is a tongueing and grooving machine, one of the largest in use in the United States. It cuts rapidly, and at the same tine, a tongue on one edgo, a groove on the other and planea both sides. This tongued and grooved plank is used for flooring and ceiling. Planks of all widths, from thirty to one and a half inches can be tongued and grooved. Another planing machine smoothly and truly planes any sited timber, from twenty-four inches to three-eighths of an inch in thickness. Still another machine, known at the self-leeding redlining saw, the only one in use in South Carolina, is here. Its chief use is for making weather-boarding. The usual way to weather-board is to take planks of an inch in thickness and lay one over the other, but this method did not make the covering as close and solid as was desired. By this machine, a board of the usual thickness is slit into two pieeet, in such a way that when they are placed on a house, overlapping one another, they lay very close, and make, by far, a much better weather-boarding. This machine also cuts oat backs for picture frames, of any sise and tbickiKss, from one-eighth of aa inch thick and twenty-eight inches wi'lj. PROTKCTIO* FROM Vina. What danger there most be from Are, is a mull Iimurii iaou|oi 01 an woo tuii luie manufactory before they become aware of the precaution! which have been taken to prevent nch a calamity. We doubt if any other baildiag in the city ie aa well protected against fire. The first things the v isitor notices are bags placards, warning him that " smoking is prohibited." Everywhere throughout the buildings are stands on which are severe1 large backets always filled with salt water. Underneath the first floor is a cistern twenty feet wide by eighty feet long, capable of containing twenty-five tbonsand gallons of water, and now has twenty-two thousand gallons in it, from whieh In ease of Are, water can be gotten by weans of the pa naps in suffltflent quantities to prevent the spreading of flames. All around the factory are the docks convenient for nee of the engines. The only fire used nnywbese near the manufactory is that which makes the steam, and ft Is so well protected, that it is impossible for re from It to he communicated to the build* jog*. *p nidi iDopi lb* giM MM la b?IM bjr Arc, bat a?

Our roadora and exchanges aro invited to oonaidar tbo vary Important letter of ono of tbo representative* of Greenville, appearing in tbia week's issue. It is a thorough expose of eome of tbo rotten legislation imposed on the good people of the State. The writer demonstrates that the Sterling Bond hill does add about one million of dollars to the 8tate debt, and that tbis is alone for the benefit of the bondholders and not for the tax payers. Repudiation seems to be tbe only hope of the State. It is time for honest men to combine te protect themselves. The Taxes-?Publio Olsaatlafaotlon. The extravagant taxes levied by tbe majority of the Legislature of South Carolina, their ?rr> vuvao HUM lUjUBklCCf IUQ I nUUUIODV schemes and waste of the pnblie money, which they are intended to support, the useless ofBoes, the high salaries, the corruption of the Legislature in selling their votes, the horrible and intolerable rule of Ignorance and dishonesty, all. all have made a deep impression on all the people who have any honest interest in the S ate government. We now record the fact that there is, and of right ought to be, a solemn determination among all the honest men of the State not to stand a repetition of these taxes, but unanimously to resist them, " peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must." There is no doubt of the faot that the votes of committees and of members of the Legislature have been bought bv money. We unbefitatingly avow the principle, that every reprti?nu>Wf, and every otncia), kUu mU? bis vote and influenoo, deserve and ought to be put to death by law. It is pure and simple robbery. The people?we mean people by those who are not idiots or fools?are making up their minds. Scoundrels who sell their votes and levy high taxes, must be stopped. We hope another year may see a people in this State united as one man to rctist these horrible frauds and exactions. Let them dare sell their votes again and rob and plunder. The most stupid nesro in the State will mm* in m? that hi* interest i* on the side of honesty and every whit* man, ezcept the thieve*. . .... < a The New York Herald end Southern Affaire. We are sorry to see the Herald getting a* blind as the Tribune as to the facts in the South. It is trying to make the whole country of the South responsible for acts of lawlessness here and there perpetrated. For instance, the negro* start a riot in Mississippi, by one of them shooting dead a judge on the bench. The jndge is a white man, and the sheriff and others present kill the negro, that attempts to escape, and another negro who aids and abet*. The negros arm themsehes and take sides with their color j the Iberllf n* seek to disarm them, they resist, and some of them are killed. The whole affair is a most savage' negro-inaugurated riot, yet the HeraM holds it up as an instance of Southern ku kluz outrage, calling upon Congress for vengeance. Then, because the people of Meridian permitted the carpet-bag mayor to go away unharmed, on his promise never to return, this is an outrage. The Herald docs not give the reason for his going, it was the conviction that it was he who stirred up the negros to deeds of incendiarism and murder. I We suppose the Herald and Tribune will make no comment on the pleasant result of their carpet-bag friends stirring up the sense of eonilitv sa Ki?K " overflow! into the shooting of a white judge on the bench. If some white men bed shot a black judge, it would have furnished still stronger grounds for a new anti ku klux law and flippant adverse comment from the Afraid and Tribune, Ac. In the North where negros don't break through and steal, and shoot white judges, you want all the white folks in the 8onth punished soundly because some of them are defending their judges and sheriff* Irom black assassination and their houses and barns from burning. This is your justice I This is your protection of loyal men. ? ' St. Dominge Annexation. The correspondent ot the New York Herald gives information that the negros in San Domingo are manifesting fierce hostility to their annexation to the United States, and that (ten. owant's pet seheb.e must probably fail.-They have commenced burning houses, and Ilayti is said to be aiding a revolution against Bans, the ruler of St. Domingo, all on account of the proposed annexation. The next best plan for Gen. Guant will be for him to annex to Ban Domingo and Hayti as much of the black population of the United States as the navy can carry. Let him ship off the surplus blacks ?' the country to that delightful climate for them, where tbsy can lire gloriously without labor and toll, or fear of ku klux ; that is the best use our General President can make of Hayti and Ran noasin-A Wk.t ?? ?-- ?

The newspaper* in thi? oquotry, with scarcely as exception, tbat bar* expressed any opinion on the subject, are predicting another wan at no remote future, between France and Prussia, oa account of the ?auction of the cession of territory, as an indispensable term of pease. We totally disagree to such speculations. The French have been too severely whipped and the ambition for glory in tbeir leaders too disastrously rebuked for them to go to war with Geimany again. Besides, the French people whe now vote have not one particle of interest in fsvor of war, but all, on the contrary, in favor of peace with all nations. The true hope of France is in peace, and in the sealing or repud iation of the greater part of her public debt. The debt created by this war of aggressive ambition, instituted by her rulers and the Paris mob, ought to be repudiated by the people, and tbe old war debts scaled down. If tbe people of tbe nations would, all every where, make it a rule to repudiate or scale down every national debt incurred in mere ambitions wars, or for Isrge government frauds, it would promote honesty and peace on earth and goodwill among men. The time is coming when tbe nations will do this, and ought to do it. Kings and Republican knave* should and must be taught tbat tbey cannot safely impose upon the people and posterity, by their schemes for enriching and glorifying themselves and families. Let them issue their bonds for such purposes, and then let the people just not pay them, and they would soon find honesty the best policy, whether they likI Ail it or nnt. Victor Huso on Popery. We call attention to the masterly expose of the popish system, contained in an extract from the writings of the eminent | French author, Victor Hugo. We found it in the Religiou* Herald Of oourse, the city political papers would he, as usual, afraid to publish such an arlie'e. and such country papers as use no minds of their own,and always follow the" rut " of city exchange*, would not publish it, alt hough tney have not one Roman Catholic on their subscription list. They only discuss what the great dailies discuss; hence they say nothing to prevent Congress from repealing the income tax, and taxing the people unmercifully on their ealt and ugar and iron and calico, and every neees sary to make up for the Income u*, when it is abolish-d. The curse of mankind, in alt agea, has been the ahuee of religion whilst the blessing of mankind has been the truth or the nearest approxmalion of truth in religious things Mankind naturally hate religious truth, or else tlie Bible is false, hence we find the eecular press ready to suppress anything that attacks the strongholds of Satan, of which false religion* systems ore the greatest.

I in. trodueed a eoaourrent resolution a month ago, directing en inquiry at to the condition end whereabout# of four millions of bonds authorised to be made aed endorsed by the Comptroller General in aid of the Blue Ridge Railroad, by au act passed September 15th, 185g. I herewith eneloee you a ropy of the report of said Committee, and also a full rrport of the evidence taken in the eaae. The following (sets were developed as reel ted In the preamtde to a resolu tioo I bad the honor to introduce; as fob lows; Whereas the Legislature of South Caro Una, by an Act pas-ed September 15th, 1808, authorised the Comptroller General to endorse the bonds of the Bine Ridge Rail road Company, to the amount of four tail, lions of dollars, under certain restrictions therein providtd ; end, whereas, the officers of the Bine Ridge Rall-oad Company signed the bonds of said Company, on its part, and procured the endorsement of the Comptroller General on the part of the State, of four millions of gold bonds, contrary to tha spirit and intent of the Act aforesaid, and committed the Slate for at least one million of dollars more than was granted by the el ; and, whereas, further, the Comptroller General signed and delivered these bonds before any contract was made for the negotiation of the bonds at their par value, aa provided for in the Aet; therefore, Jit it Rrtoived, by the Senate and House of Representatives, now met and setting in General Assembly, and by authority of the same, That the endorsement by tha Comptroller General of the three million of bonds mentioned in section 2d of an Aet entitled an Aet to grant additional ail to the Blue *t 9- Company, is allegal and wltbout authority ol law, and therefore a.u and void. And further. That nothing herein is in tended lo impair tlic obligation of tbe 8>*U lo the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, end the 8tV.e hereby rriUrrtoi ita guarantee of the Blue Ridge Railioml Company, when issued in conformity with the Utter and apirilof ihc Act granting aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad Company. The investigation further diseloaed the fact that the Company was prevented front rolling thoae gold bonds, at 8ft cmtr, by the inter*enlion of the bnropean war, which, in my opinion, would,ha ve been clearly in violation of law. My resolution waa referred. and has been superceded by an Act to promote the consolidation of the Greenville and Colombia Railroad Company and the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, whieh, by vpeeial provision*, legalises the unlawful endorsements of the Comptroller General, and removea all restriction* in the rale of the bonds. The Greenville and Colombia Railroad has occupied much of the I,e&isla lure's lime (or the lesl lea days. The first bill provlded.lhet the 6tste should gueran tee the bonds of ihe Company to the extent of $10,000 per mils of its own rosd, sad also on sll rosds acquired or built.

Judge Thomas we* arraigned before the House on Saturday, to answer lite charge of having no residence in hie ctreuil, in violation of the Constitution The Judge, ho* ? ever, testified that Chester was hia place of abode, that he kept hia wines, cigars and books th'-re, and there being no evidence that ha had any residence on l> hie of hie circuit, or any other depot for his wines, the motion of an address to the Governor to remote him was loat. Tt>? ureof office is alight; if sn impeachment had been made on the ground of incapacity and inefficiency, tha Judge would have gone overboard ; even with tha insufficiency of the evidence, it was a tight squeeze with him. Col. Hamilton, of Chester, made hie defense, and it was a good one, considering hit embarrassment, as he said himself, of appearing bafore such a grata and augus^ Itlbunal. Yours truly, W.

In closing bar letter she says, as a reason wby the public ought to extend ber relief: "This persecution take* every shape. Murder, arson, forgery, burglary, are added to the charge of bigamy. The most ridiculously ghastly stories are inserted in tbe newspapers by order of one person. Warrants are issued on his sole testimony again and again.
