r J it. i -,i Tni Ricuk6T WIDOW IN AMKBica.?In the bright and bustling eity of Hartlord, Connecticut, ro siaee the handsome and wealthy Mrs. Colt, relict of Samuel Colt, the inventor of the revolving fire arm. From the Brooklyn Union we learn some interesting facts relative to her property. Some ten vears azo% Col. Colt died, leaviog a magnificent property, including a nico little estate valued at $5,000,000 to bis wifo. The estate is com prised of beautiful grounds, on which are residences, churches, manufactories, etc. Tiio widow has improved the original value and beanty of the grounds very much. A $200,COO church, fur workmen on the estate, was erected under her direction. It is ornately embelished with everything that correct taste backed by an open pocketbook could furnish. Among the mo6t enviable features of Mrs. Colts perquisites are, that hor grounds contain groat ponds tairlv alive with enormous gjld and silver fish ; that the lanes are adorned with exquisite statu-' ary, including a small but other "'"on Annv nf Mio w 160 snrpnsingijr v/*vg^ w|'j v* ?i)V Amazon, that such enviable delicacies as tresh figs, oranges, peaches, etc., aro obtained from her mammoth hot house the whole yoar round ; that her huge conservatories contain a collection of rare exotics unsurpassed in the country ; and that, in fact,she has within her grasp all that enormous fortune handled with appreciative lavishnesa and culture can procure, j Mrs. Colt continues to wear half mourning. She is a brilliant ladv, I who reccivos and entertains her f friends In a manner so pleasant as to render it a particular favor to bo ranked among her acquaintances. Tuundku Stokm at Camden ? A Man Killed by Lightning?A correspondent writes us from Camden, August 3, as follows: "The hearts of our people wrce gladdened to-day by one of the finest rains wo have had this year, but before it closed there was very heavy thunder and lightning and a fierce storm which did considerable damage. -A white man named John Love, who resided abont six miles from :own was killed by lightning. lie was overtakened by the storm and with liis wife took refuge under a large oak tree. The lightning struck and killed him instantly. His wife, although close beside him, was uninjured, and there was no damage done to the tree. A curi ous incident in connection with the affair is the conduct of the wife. After the storm subsided, the woman jumped inlo their wagon and drove off. Some persons present asked her if 6he was going to leave the body of her husband there on the ground, and the replied that " she was in a hurry to get home, and as she was unable to have him buried, it was no use tor her to 6?av any longer," and off 6ho drove. She was notified to attend the inquest in the morning. Tho storm struck our colored Babtist Church, which was being repaired, and left it a complete wreck." [Charleston Republican. From what we can learn of the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Air Line Railroad, say6 the Columbia Union, it was decid cd to run the line some seventeen 1 miles above the town ot Andernoon. Anderson made a strong showing to bring the line past that town, and had her representative men here to look attcr the nia ter, but without avail, we arc told.? Mr. J. P. Peed advocated the matterd in a lengthy argument, but it appears the reasons seemed insufficient to cause a change in the line as located by the Chief Engineer. What maj- ho finally accomplished we cannot state, as onr knowledge of the proceedings is somewhat limited, and that lucre is a live interest being manifested is apparent. f. ??- - ?? Kailroad Accident.?The Wednesday night train on tl c Savannah and Charleston Kail road met with a curious mishap which caused a detention of about twelve hours. The train was moving at its usual speed when a largo white hull ran against it, ana, falling across the rails, threw the express car off the track.? Fortunately no ono was injured, and the only inconvenience experienced was the delay caii6cd by clcaiing the wreck from the track. [Charleston JSews.

QREEN?0LLUK, ?. ?. WEDNESDAY, ATJQUBT 0,1S71. Th? Charleston Citj Elections. The result of the election in Charles ton, securing the tiiumph of the citizens Conservative ticket for Mayor and Councilmen, has delighted the fiends of good order and peace and protection from public plunderers, all over the State. The most gratify ing circumstance, is the fact,' that more than a thou?ar.d colored voters of the City, sustained the citizens ticket. Five col ored men of good character, were nom | inated and elected on the Wagner ticket. It is truly said this election is an example and encouragement to white and black in this State, to unite togetbea to secure the election of honest men to office, and to put down the mere enr pet-pagger and the demagogues who stir tip partv stiife for their own private ends. We tako the following summary of the Charleston oluction news fiom the Phcenix. The Chat lesion papers abound in full and iuteresting statements about it, but too long for our columns. The result of the election in Chat lesion is that the Citizens' candidates for Mayor and Aldermen are elected by n | heavy majority. The majority of Gen. | Wegener for Mayor is 777, he having received 5,586 voles, and Mayor I'illsbirv 4,809 votes. The highest vote, (except that for Mr. O'Neill, who was nominated by both parties.) was polled for Mr. Alva Gage and Mr. Garrett? the latter being a colored man, and the former a Northern gentleman, who has lived for a generation in Chaileston.? Those candidates received 5,GOO votes. The total vote this year is 10,401, against a total vote in 1868 of 10,102, when Mr. Lesc>ne received 5,042 votes and Mr. I'lll-buiy 5,060 voles. All the candidates of the Ci izens' party foi School Commissioner were elected, ex> ceptir.g in Wards 2 and 4, whara Messrs. Jacob Williinan and C. G. Memminger received i m j ni'y. A number of citizens paid their rc spec's to the candidate elect at hi - re-i denct^corner of George and Glebe S.s , j and, after cheering him, w ere aildiessed bv liim briefly.

Columbia Phcenix. Greenville and her Visitors. This summer our j lea-ant little City has resumed much of its former glories in the number and character of its visitors. The daily rnihond train has brought passengers from Charleston, and other places South, who come to enjoy a trip to our refieshing climate. Tlio Mansion House has been more crowded this summer than at any time since the war. Messrs. Southern and Grser, are giving great satisfaction in their style of entertainment.

K *. 11 t^lrarieston. lie was nominated by the Republican party and voted foi by many of both parties. When ouch men as Col. Meromioger, so well fitted for the office to which be is elected, are brought, forward by the people, it is a sign that good sense begins to prevail over the nonsense and crime of electing incompetent persons on mere party grounds. All men elected to transact the public business should be elected on account of tlieir roeiit, more especially in offices that are not political, county officers, judges, and others that might be nam* ed. It is a disgrace to any party to nominate men of bad or doubtful character to any office, political or not, and still more disgraceful in the people to elect such men when nominated. Editorial Visit.

Our machinery will be of the most modern and improved kind, turning off the largest amount of products ' according to time, and great saving of labor. Our first purposes are to confine the establishment to the spinning of cotton yarns and manufacturing the same into cloth, w ith the view at a fu- ' tore lime to extend and embrace wool and woolen fabrics. We give our neighbors and fiiendsan opportunity to unite w ith us only to a limited amount; should thev let the opportunity pass, we have the opportunity and privilege of using and employing capital from abroad. Should we of the South now neglect the opportunity to emplojf our capital at heme in building up manufacturing establishments and other enterprises, to advance and promote the needed progress of the country, wc soon shall have yielded the golden opportunity ; and all, all will be gone into the hands and pockets of others.
