The llcrald oi ^ ? ii. rtr< the contrary is disposed to regaru in recent outbreaks as mere brawls, an* er; the late fight at Austin, Mississippi, a one which might have occurred any where, where the law is loosely admin ar{. istcred. Per'naps the truth lies here a iid elsewhere, between the extremes of twi ch opposing views, and whilst unnecessary 1 11 apprehensions are naturally excitet among those) who are spectators or ac n= tors amid the troubles, the extent o l*'r the danger is doubtless underestimatei .J! by those who live at a distance. Socie ty at the South is different from what i of is anywhere else, and the very fact tha he two races so dissimilar in habits, feel ht ings, and sympathies, form part of tin same body politic, give significance tc j trivial outbreaks, which in communi 0}- tics differently constituted would b< :c. disregarded.

Their leaders elsewhere and in this State especially, are now men of their e_ own race, and these have the good of sense to see that a conflict of races of would be ruinous to the black man. In ?/ spite then of local troubles and sectionI al outbreaks, we cannot believe that ! there is any serious danger of any ex .g" tended conflict or races. s' But the existence of honest govern?d ment at the South, as the Jlcrcild sugto gests, can only be secured by the cordial co-operation of both races. It is as 'o mucli to the interest of the blacks as of ,v the whites to secure a good government, ie and sound policy dictates that laying ty aside all fancied grivances, and addressing themselves earnestly to the w j work of reform, they select only honest 'Jjanrl capable men lor ornce. Antagoe. j nisms of race are only fomented by corn nipt politicians who desire to advance it' their own selfish purposes, whilst an ellicient and honest administration of 'e the government can only be brought d. about by a cordial and zealous co-operae"! Cion of both races in the work of reform. st li ill Bees and Bee Hives.?Our citizens were amused on Friday afternoon last of by a free exhibition gotten up for their f* gratification, as well as his own, by Mr. . r I I'aramore, the agent of the Buck E_ye [() Bee llive. Taking his stand oil the Public Square, he knocked an old hive is to pieces and transferred the honey and >*ie bees to his own hive, without being ts i molested by the bees. His- plan is to ?'[ smoke them into the upper part of the Js| hive, when they gorge themselves with tit honey and become harmless. He has been selling County rights for the manufactnre and sale of his hives, which : seem to be of a very superior character. Mr. 1\ secuis to know all about bees, ,j.

Religious. _ The Bight Beverend W. B. Howe Bishop of the Episcopal Church of tin Diocese of South Carolina, visited oui ~ j Parish on Saturday last, accompaniei I by the Rev. P. F. Stevens, Missionary t i to the Cliurclies at Anderson and New' L berry, and the Rev. E. G. Edgerton Hector of St. Tliaddeus Church, Aiken Services were held in Trinity Churcl -I- at candle-lighting, at which there was a very good attendance. Prayers wen er said by Mr. Edgerton, and a very excel lent sermon preached by Mr. Steveni -d upon the rite of Confirmation, urging the Scriptural authority for its use, ai the initiatory ceremony of Christiai :o membership, and making an earnes >y appeal for the early ratification of ou; baptismal vows. aj Ou Sunday morning, ill spite of th< large number of the congregation wh< were absent in the mountains and else 1- where, there was a very full attendanci of at the interesting religious services. Ii the absence of the Rev. W. T. Capers of the Methodist churoh, most of hii =? congregation were present, as well a ,K others from the other churches of th< >r town. Morning prayers were said by 4i .1:.. 1 ?.... uticuuiiig uiciy.y lucu, ?uci nuii/ii < 0 very able discourse was preached bj ^ liishop Howe from 2d Corrinthians, 15 xlix; "And as we have borne the imag< d of the earthly we shall also bear th< j image of the heavenly," which pointec out in clear and striking terms the anal t, ogy which existed between the unregenerate and Christian life, under the ^ operation of a uniform law of developec' nient. Original sin is not so much imputed to us as inherited, and we suffei the penalties of Adam's transgression, s not so much from our covenant relation with him, as from our having the same nature. So our new life is a germ implanted by Christ, which shall bud and blossom in a transformed and glorified body. These views were expounded and enforced in a discourse of rare beauty and -power, and of which we shall not attempt even a synopsis. It exhib]. ited profound thought, clothed In the attractive garb of ornate and scholarly e diction, and made a profound impresel sion. After the sermon the impressive u right of Confirmation was administered :t to three young ladies. Whilst they a kneel before the altar with uncovered hpftds. tho Eishon nlaces his hands uuon 0 them, and bestows his blessing. The rj Communion was then administered. rj At night services were again held, e and the congregations from all the other ] churches united in the worship. After s evening prayer, a very able and weJl . considered discourse was preached by . Mr. Edgerton, from Acts 24: xvi; "And s herein do I exercise myself, to have 3 always a conscience void of offence, tof ward God and toward men." 1 The Bishop on yesterday visited St. m 1 -1 1. ttTJlli. x . oiepnens ciiurcu, >> uuugiuu, mu:iy f under the pastoral charge of Rev. 0.

General Sheridan has recently been > interviewed by a correspondent of the " New York Herald, and makes some J useful suggestions respecting a change t in the Indian policy of the Government. ( He expresses himself very decidedly in " favor of collecting all the Indian tribes ' upon limited reservations, and keeping i them there, and that their management P 1.1 l.? TVo 5IlUUiU U%J tlUUSiCXXVU W II A/u partinent. This reservation policy he ' regards as the only means of saving the Indians from extinction, at the same ' time that it opens up to the progress of 1 civilization some of the most valuable r of the "Western territory. To carry it ! out, the efficient machinery of the War Department must be called into requisition, and with its co-operation the task > is by no means a difficult one. Some ' nine or ten reservations would be all ? sufficient for the whole Western terri tory, and those being placed under the 1 command of the Department command or would be very effectually managed. General Sheridan thinks it strange that a great Government like this should not 1 insist upon making every portion of the country safe for its citizens to travel 1 over. The region between the Western ' slopes of the Black Hills and the Big Horn, and even beyond as far as the Rosebud, and down as far South as the Wind River Mountains, is a section of great mineral wealth ; still, a few hundred Indians liave been covering this country and preventing its development. Then take the Southern part of the country?the very portion of the country that seems to be of the least value for cultivation, is and will become the most valuable portion of the country for grazing purposes. Immense herds are now scattering all over the plains of the South, and, with a popula" tion increasing as rapidly as ours, the necessity of the development in the grazing interests of the country is very great, and is very much retarded by a few Indians covering the country. The Western territory of the Government is too valuable a domain to be held by a few roviug tribes of Indians, and it is nothing but right that they should yield to those who can improve it. Discharged.?"Honest Joe Moore," who was arrested last week, together with Ed Smith, alias Ed Henderson, under charge of having committed the recent robbery of J. W. Robertson, lias been discharged. The charge seems to have been falsely made against him by the other, who was himself the guilty party. Two hundred and ninety dollars of the money was obtained on Thursday last from Smith, and some eightyseven more accounted for. So Joe Moore has been released. AVe trust that he will henceforth see the necessity of earning for himself a good character, which shall constitute the best shield against future accusations. ^ We were pleased to meet in our office, on Friday last, Mr. Iloswell T. Logan, the business manager of that popular and well-conducted agricultural jourual, the Rural Carolinian. Mr. Logan is making a tour through the upcountry in the interests of his journal, i He is a courteous gentleman and an efficient business man, and we are glad < to learn that he is meeting with merited success. We commend him and th? i Rural to the patronage of our friends. Mr. W. T. McDonald, mkfe and mother have returned, afteS-ajKort so- ; jouru at Williamstoiu What's the Matter with Abbespe? ; Such is the capti9.ty.0f a shorteditorial } in a recent nutnber of the Phoenix, r which takes the Abbeville people and the Abbeville papers to task, for a lack ' of zeal in organizing Tax-Unions, and gives the Press and Banner a sound ' rating for alleged commendations of UAIVAJO UnnA^ll . | ^Ulll|HIUllCl-UCIICiai liv/gv a wj/vvw... The impertinence of such intermeddling, we suppose, never occurred for a moment to the sapient editor of that journal, nor its supreme ridiculousness as coming from such a sourcc. 5 We would be pleased to know who constituted the Phccnix the censor morum of its professional brethren, or what special qualifications either in zeal or capacity, it has shown to lead the hosts of reform in our State. Its a course has been proverbially temporizing and vacillating, and now under the impulse of some new-born zeal, it " seeks to make amends for past derelic tions by berating other journals or tne ' State for alleged shortcomings. "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones." What has the Phcenix ~ done for reform in Richland, that It seeks to carry the crusade into Abbe* ville? How many Tax-Unions have ' been tormed there, as the fruit of Its newly inspired enthusiasm ? But even if the Columbia journal were able to j put forth more pretentious claims to the leadership of South Carolina journalism, and could boast more converts to its | teachings, we claim for ourselves and the people of Abbeville the right to do our own thinking. We have not assumed the role which the Phoenix would assign us, of arrogating to ourselves a ' monopoly of the intelligence of Abbe| ville, and hence would not be willing to ' assume the responsibility of its short' comings. At least we would wish to I share the responsibility with its learned ( lawyers, its skillful physicians, its intelligent merchants, and its patriotic farmers and mechanics. If they have been laggard in the work of forming Tax-Unions, the natural conclusion and charitable inference is, not that they aro wantiug in public spirit, but that they survey^he situation tlirnnorli Hldip fiWll O'lft.qqpq. find JlTfi not so sanguine as some of their contemporaries in regard to the wondtrs which these organizations are to accomplish. At least such are the reasons which influence us in withholding our support, and we are gratiGed to know that outviews are held in common with a large number of our most intelligent and patriotic citizens. The avowed purpose of these organizations ia to bring about resistance?passive resistance, you may please to call it, yet still resistance?to the power of the Government. This is revolution, disguise it as you please. So much for Tax-Uniotl3. As to the charge of the r/tccnix, of our having given a laudatory notice of Judge Hoge's late speech, it is so en- i tirely a misrepresentation, that we can not believe that the editor read our notice, but is indebted for his inforinatton j to the "Abbeville gentleman" of whom he speaks, and whose information he perhaps unwittingly distorts. We made no commendation of the Comptroller's i speech, but spoke simply of his integrity aud capacity, as shown in the admin- , istratiou of the Comptroller's office, ' which would not be gainsayed, we thought, by friend or foe. It was an i act of simple justice to an opponent. With regard to the speech itself we said i nothing. j Wo trust then, that hereafter the < Pluznix will read our articles before making them the basis of an attack. Perhaps it would be the dictate cf sound wisdom to abstain altogether from this j interference, and to follow the example of the Tennessee man, who was once quoted by General Jackson as having i made a fortune by "minding his own business." ] ] Ku Klux Cokn.?Mr. John Elkin, ' of Alston, on the Greenville and Co- I lumbia Railroad, can boast of the most < remarkable species of corn ever heard | of. One grain produced last year as , many as eighteen stems, on each of ?tfh Inli f \\ o ro nmro olv at lira Turn roa. I >T UIVK bllblV ?? V?V ?J?A A HV ?VOpectable farmers who saw the com i growing said tiiat it would produce as much as one hundred bushels.to the acre. One half pint of the seed sold for one dollar. The history of the seed is < briefly this: A run-away Ku Klux sent ( about a dozen grains iu a letter to his r father, with the letter K marked on each grain. From the crop produced c from this small beginning came the c seed from which spring Mr. Elkin's t crop.?Greenville Enterprise and Moun- t lainecr. The corn spoken of seems to be very well adopted to satisfy ordinary planters who have plenty of land, but for people who live in towns and cities, ? where land is high, and mules and laborers expensive to feed, something still 8 better is needed. We take pleasure in t recommending our B. I. B. T. Corn as superior to any ever produced. The c seed of this most wonderful corn was v first discovered in the mountains of * Utah, where it is supposed this germ r originated to supply the necessities of a impecunious husbands and fathers who had large numbers of wives and children for whom it was their duty to pro vide bread. A Providence that is mind- ? ful of a sparrow, aud with manna sustained the children of Israel, has fed a the Mormon Baints by this plant ? with a bounteous hand. It was dis- f covered in this way: Many years ago 1! some hunters in the mountains of Utah 11 frnm n nliff rJmt ottH Irillnil n litrnrp ^ " ~ """ Sl bird, which from its beauty and symmetry commanded their admiration, and thinking to propitiate the gods for 0 having offended in the killing so beau- r< tiful an object, buried it in their gar- j. den with great solemnity. In the course w of time this growth sprang from the re 0 mains of this bird, which has ever since t] been the world's wonder. The plant jj errows to immense proportions. On the rr w * JL ordinary stalk from fifteen to twenty u cars of the best Indian corn grows, t> while at the top from six to teu bunches of broom corn spring out, and at the root, large and splendid yam pota- _ toes and ruta baga turnips fill the e( ground for a space of from three to live w fYinf nrnunrl aa a rvrrtrliv/w*!* r\f lnn/rl VVV UtWUIIUl JLfllV MO ?

The noos was adjusted about the neck of the firs his dying speech listened to, the suj ports knocked awuy, and the victii swung off. But for the timely interfei ence of the old people, there woul lmve been a dead durkey, und a rej tragedy. An effectual stop was put t further operations and Jerry Colcma escaped any further repetition of tb death penalty. A War op Racks, the New Yor Tribune, we think very justly, regards? a myth, conjured up by the heated itx aginations of the timid. It would t madness for either race to engage i such a warfare, and the whole power < the Government would soon put an ea to it when begun. It is equally absurc we think, to be attempting to form white man's party or a black man1 party. As long as we remain membei of the same Government, we must wor together. We have common intercsl whieh can only be subserved by th cordial co-operation of both races. Sue] is the advice given by Gen.

He wishes us to y say of him that he is "an honest is granger," that next to the Bible and the Church, he believes in the Grange, and d feels assured that if the country is to be e redeemed, it must be through the ing strumentality of the Order. His cond versation has almost inspired us with y something of the same enthusiasm, h He is very earnest in deprecating the ?- introduction of politics into the organ! i. zation. 0 ^ ' Anticipated Troubees.?Attorney > Genera] Williams, it is reported, is apir prehensive of serious disturbances at r the South, especially in Alabama, Ten? nessee, and North Louisiana, at the \t next elections.
