While the cry of the country, the mountains to the seaboard, fo: past eight years has boon, rotrencbi and reform, there arc exceptional < whore local politicians or capitalists sire to agitate their respective comir I tics upon tne suDjeepoi organizing a county, with the government loeat their doors, which as a consoqu* when accomplished, is attended by mutilation of the old counties, and obliteration of the established r< lines anil usages of the peoplo for a dred years. According to provisic the constitution, each county is cnl t?> a Senator in the General Assert except Charleston, Mhere two aro properly allowed. The country was ono,hundred j ago, equitably divided into counties, in many instances they were sepai by natural boundary lines, with county seat designated before local i ests aud personal prejudices were bro into action by restless spirits, whose cial mission, in the present impove ed condition of the country, would : to be that of destroying the land mar our old counties, and of tearing l old county governments and of ostal ing, at a great cost to the peoplo, new on their ruins, We are in favor of letting well em alone, and shall opposo tho organic of new counties under whatever n H&jjj whethor that of (Jordan, ButJer, Hi ' ton or Ninetyi-Six, and shall as strom ??s|j ly oppose increasing the present repn E3||J tation in the Senate, Sjj|| The organization of new counties, H the iuereaseof Senators has grown Bag bo great a nuisance in the State of ( BP gia, that the Constitutional Conven Egf which is at present in session at All SEP is actually considering the proprit jiBfgl passing an ordinance forever lor bid BaSf tLo formation of new counties iii State, Before that Convention til. also a proposition to reduce the Cie E|gj Assembly of that great State, wit ||| one hundred and forty counties to 0 Senators and seventy-live Kepres HI tivos in the liouse. This propos ^ meets a responsive echo in the heart many of the wisest and most intell jMjlitieians in the State of South Care who to-day are in favor of very inatei gj| reducing our own > presentatives i |g) lower House of the General Asseii |? A move in this direction, ll* agit |g would meet with popular favor e1 S where.

In the face of all these facts, an probability that the agitation of th< tablishment of new counties will bi ried to excoss, is it wise to alio' movement to meet with encourage: increasing the number of our Sen I contrary to tlx? best interests of the Should this continue, and witli no check, it will not be many before there will bo a court J for every six hundred andtwentj square miles in the State, whicl claim its constitutional right to a Senator to the General Assen It now remains to be seen wh Charleston will give us the advantage of her that she had c before the war.

This subjeot should in our op receive the attention of the press ci State, as we believe the agitation fav the formation of new counties, unle receive a quietus in some way, will e ually bocome a sourco of trouble annoyance to the Commonwealth, cannot however expect the country to say much on this subject unles city brethren speak out. Is CJiari willing for us to divide Abbeville cc in order that we way have a rcpres tlve in tho Senate equal to her own? To End DiBcuftstou upon the subject of the new coi which is likely to become "stale, flu unprofitable" before tho dog day over, we submit, tho following pro tion : Let the q ualified electors ol and othor counties whose ancient 1 darics are sought to be obliterated t excessive zeal of a very few per liavo tho opportunity and be requ to give expression to their wishes this subject, whenever the question < fence law is submitted as provide recent act of tho General Assembly addition to the vote upon this subje the ballot contain the words, Yes 01 as regards tho question of a new coi and if tho several counties of Abbe Laurens and Edgefield from wlios< ritory this new county is sought made, do not condemn the measure vote of two to one, we will agree to our opposition.

The Railroad Strikers. * | The strike among the employees of ecr===: tain Railroads in Pennsylvania ami Maryland now going on is alarming and sug= gestive. Tho small reduction of ton per cent on their wages which. we debt not, was justified on the part of the Railroad I authorities by the dopres.- '^l condition |of their business, which is common in ? ev:tv department, all over tho country, the ; 'ias engendered a spirit of hatred and re. j veuge which reminds one of the violent days of the French Communism. There are thousands of competent laborers all from over the country, who would be glad to the accept the positions of those men at tho nent reduced pay, but they are set upon wtih jases fiendish rage, by the strikers, and pret de- vented from doing it. It is a cropping tuni- out ol an Agrarian spirit which is on the new increase in Northern cities, and which ed at forebodes a fearful contest between cupi;nce, j}in(l labor, which, if not checked by ' the I the strong arm oi tno uovcrnmem, wm [ the I flood tho land with blood, and sweep Dads, i away millions of property. Already bun-! a large number of lives have been ?n of: ;md several millions of property itied j destroyed by fire and pillage; and yet the jl,jv j State and Federal Government stand very aghast, and tho few soldiers sont to the scene are powerless to check it.

Our Correspondent Makes a Midnight Speech aud Electrifies His Audience. Editor Press and Buhner: A tier recreating a few days in the lovely village of Marshal', during which j time, I participated in tue chase alter the I deer and bear which frequent the sur- j i rounding forest, and mountain, and tliejj trout which tempt the angler to the brook, I we again resumed our journey down tho , } "French Broad lliver." The scenery which continually met our gaze, possess- 1 ed the same romantic wildness that characterized our town in the past. |1 Every where, mountains and waterfalls, , elills and villages, lend variety to the scone, and inspire delight in tho lover of the sublime and beautiful. Among the notable objects of interest I will mention the granite pyramid, known as "Lover's i Leap,'' whose towering summit looks down in silent majesty upon tho'passing j traveler, and rushing stream at its base. A few hours drive brought us to the : celebrated Warm Springs, of Madison county, X. C. These Springs are located on the banks of the French Broad lliver, in one of the most picturesque and love- < ly valleys of the Blue llldge and Alleghany mountains, The vailpy.having an altitude of about twenty live hundred feet above the wea level, is noted for its salubrious climate, which is always cool and invigorating. This region being very dry, ana entirely free of fogs, is never visited by malarial fevers, or other intictants . hence has a decided advantage over the Hot Springs, of Arkansas, and other resorts for invalids. In the^ midst of this beautiful valley, is situated the hotel, which though originally large and commodious, being a two story brick building over five hundred feet long has ' ' 1 ? i boon recently cmur^uu ivmi rviuuuciv-u, until it now has accommodations unsurpassed by any other resort South ol' Saratoga or Long Branch and, ecrtainly has as strong claims upon the patronage of Mr, and Mrs, Hayes as the .White Sulphur, of Virginia. Tho immediate surroundings of the hotel are beautiful beyoud description, and both nature and art have; vied, in contributing to tho pleasure of the invalid and tourist. In front of the Wilding in a green lawn, at tho foot of which sweeps tho French Iiroad, while beyond, rises tho sublime peaks of "llich Mountain," upon whose summit, are viewed tho landscapes of seven different'States. In the rear of the hotel, is Spring Creek, where crystal waters How down a picturesque gorge, framed in on both sides by lofty mountains. While nature has been prodigal . in beautifying this section, Dr. Howerton, having leased the building for five years at five thousand dollars per year, lias been unsparing in his efforts to con- j tribute to the pleasure of his guests, and has provided them with all the accesso-1 ries to pleasant amusement, such as J croquet grounds, ball room, bands ofi music, billiard tables, artificial lake with row boats, and livery stable with finest steeds for riding and driving. Tho Warm Springs consist of large oools. about four in number, and each | eighteen feet square in tho midst ol' which bubble up with considerable force and quantity, a mineral water varying in tomperature from 102 to 101 degrees. This water is almost a sure panacea for rheumatism and neuralgia, and I witnessed one individual, who having been a victim of this painful disease, after the applications ol two baths, was enabled to supplant bis crutches which he had used for months, by a sin| gle walking cane. An analysis of this ! water has developed the following i minerals: Muriate of Lime, Sulphate of Soda, Carbonate of Soda, Muriate of j Soda, Silica, Sulphato of Magnesia and Crenate of Iron, tho Lime largely predominating. The Spring is accessible to Ashvi lie a distance of thirty-seven miles, > by stage coach, and also by the same . means to Wolfs Creek, the terminus of tlie Cnmberlain Gap and Charleston K. It. a distance of eighty miles. The farmers along this route," devote their attention . exclusively to the cultivation of hay and i corn, for which they lind ready sale, to parties, who during" the winter season, " daily throng this highway with twenty or ,lrmr/w nf hnrsips and f'.'lttle. I Bidding adieu to the old North State, with all" her magnificent scenery, of mountains and valleys the sublimity of > its cataracts and waterfalls, and island glories, and especially her fair maidens i whose charms Cleopatra could not have outrivaled, and proud Anthony could not have resisted, we continued our tour iut to the "blue grass" pains of Tennessee. A day's travel brought us to New Port. This village has a population of six hundred inhabitants, and is characterized for ' its rapid growth and prosperity. Here for the first time, since leaving Greenville, ( S. (\, did we hear the familiar soand of the shrill whistle of the train, which ex-' ' cites but little more wonder, among i mountoineers, than the appearance of a | r bugt;y or carriage, which are seldom seen | as transportation is done either on foot, horseback, or dray. After partaking of a bountiful supper. at the hotel, which by the way, is scarcely surpassed by Speights, of Greenville, and having bee.i highly entertained dur ing 1110 evening ntv mu j^uinai i who acquainted us with the customs and habits of his section, we quietly withf drew, to seek repose in "Nature's sweet ; Restorer." At midnight, however, wo C were aroused from our slumbers, by the sweetest strains of music from a string ' band, that ever fell from lute or guitar, ' at the conclusion of which, wo were still ? more aroused to the fact of consciousness , by repeated calls for "South Carolina." Being no Cicero, and never having any j particular inclination for public speakinjr I I hastily arose from any couch, ana j , clothed onlv in unmentionables, which ' owing to the warm weather, were not ' very numerous, proceeded to the window, E" and addressed the crowd below as follows: I [ "Gentlemen, your music is bully,?but I the strains of Orpheus would fall with as I much effect upon a small statue, as yours j ( upon a slumbering Carolinian." ISither 1 the appearance of the orator, or his elo. quent speech, elicited a hearty applause ' from the audience, which immediately dispersed. ' Strawberry Plains, about fifteen miles f from Knoxville was the next place that , claimed our attention. Iain pleased to note many Carolinians among its citizen' ship, highly prominent among whom, are Mr. A. B. Blake, relative of the fasni lies of that name in Abbeville county, and our class mate of College association (Krskine College.) Rev. J. S. Mills, who welcomed us with a most cordial hospi. tality. Spencer has seen the folly of living alone, and has made captive one of Tennessee fairest maidens. Ilis ministerial labors, moreover, are' abundantly , blessed and 1 predict for him, a bright and happy future. Our impression of this section of Tennessee, as a farming and grazing country is most favorable. > Like the lifrtilo portions of North Carolina of which mention has been made, special attention is devoted to the cultivation of grains, and cattle raising to the i utter exclusion of cotton. But of this State with her beautiful resources, and high refinement of her society we shall speak again. The State has one characteristic, however, which I did not altogether admire. Of course b'-ing a recon( structed citizen from a reconstructed [ State, which nevertheless among our J puritan brethren, has the reputation of still festering the suds of the "late" civil J war, I expected to hud all other portions , of this "glorious Union," one in senti[ ment, feeling and interest. Yet such is . not the case, and in no section is party . spirit and animosity more manifested ^ tnan in East Tennessee. This is not u , matter of much wonder, when we eon' sider it the State that gave life to Andrew Johnson, and the notorious fanatical | Brownlow, whose religion was politics, . whose mission was to sow the seeds of discord and sectional hate, whose birth . iwas neraiueu upon mo uiiuira pnu <n ' bitter passions, and whose death was the harbinger of joy to a liberty loving people. But, Mr. Editor, if the ghost of this departed saint should rise up and wage a ' war of extermination against us, we shall cross the Smoky Mountain and jofn the Cherokee and Chocktaw tribes, who can ' form an alliance with Sitting Bull and Spotted Tail, and thus ensure us against all danger.

I Pittsburg, July 22?Noon.?The crisis of ' the railway strike in this city, as indicated in these dispatches Saturday night, was J reached yesterday evening about 5 o'clock, ? when the Philadelphia troops who had been sent here to suppress the strikers tired upon the crowd. The terribly fatal effccts of the shots fired by the troops exasperated citizens as well as strikers, and in less than an iiOur 1; thi< tjnnd of work in irm en from the rolling!.. mills conl mines and various manufacturing j" estabi ishments established it scene of conflict, I r determined to havo revenge 011 the troops and railroad olllcials. it was stated that! Gen. Pearson, commander of the sixth divis-1 ion of the State Guards, had directed the j; troops to tire before any resistance had been I been made, and the fact that many of those killed and wounded had gathered 011 the bill side merely as spectators, served to increase the bitterness of (lie crowd. By eight o'clock j in the evening mobs were moving about thcln city in various directions, sacking stores to t secure arms, breaking into the armories of 0 the ndlilsiry companies and preparing themselves to execute the tl. reats freely expressed, | j of massacrelng the entire Philadelphia com- t mand. By this time the military had withdrawn from the railroad, crossing at Twentyeighth street, where the Hrst contlict took place, and wore ordered to one of the round- j, nouses where they could And better protit. 1 ; tion. About lo o'clock in the evening a molt! numbering several thousand had congregated ! about the lCoundhouse. They had previous-!^, ly capturea me kuhs ociujikuik m iiutciiiu-i s?ni's battery, a local organization, and j planted tliern so as to command tlie Hound-, hoiuc. Several solid shots were 11 red at the building and a breach ntado In tin; walls, but i tl when the infuriated mob attempted to rush Id In the military were ordered to lire. The I volley of musketry which followed, and the rumor thai the Gat.ling u'uns of the command I were being brought into requisition, caused a panic, and the mob lied precipitately fori several squares, the niiliuiry meanwhile! keeping up the firing. The rioters returned, | r however, but were uirnln driven back, , Finding it dilllcult to dislodge the military i from tlie building, the crowd resolved to burn them out. An order to this effect was Issued, t and It. was carried into execution with a ( fiendish alacrity by the rioters. In conse- 1 queiice of the blockade which has existed for two days, the sidings in the outer depot yard, g us well as those extending eastward some i 1 three or four miles, were crowded with freight j \ cars tilled with grain, produce and merchan-i < disc of all kinds, besides, which a number of j r ladened oil cake and coal cars were piled up!< in mass. While a portion of the iriob sur-^ rounded the building in which the military I had taken refuge, largo bodies proceeded tojl sot lire to tlie oil cars, and in a moment the t huge volumes of black smoke which rolled ! t upwards and out. in every direction told that j I the work of destruction had commenced. 1 The sight of tlie flames seemed to literally craze tlie rioters, some of whom rushed wild- j ly about with flaming torches in their hands j applying them to vara indiscriminately. An ! alarm wuh sounded, und the lire department I promptly responded, hut. the rioters, who had complete control of the city, refused to permit them to go or to maUe any etl'ort toextini^Uish tiic flames, They said they were determined to destroy the railroad company's properly, but to do no injury to that belong-j ins to private citizens. They kept their j word, too, and when a lumber pile belonging to a citizen took lire, the rioters themselves turned in and helped to extinguish ttiej flames and remove tho lumber to a safe place, j Train after train was fired by the infuriated crowd, but the cars were so tar distant from the Roundhouse that the heat did not serious- j ly affect the military, although their position 1 was one of peril. Finally, a large party of strikers captured a car tilled with coke, which they ran from the Allegheny Valley Railroad track to a, siding connecting with the Pennsylvania Railroad. They then procured large quantities of petroleum oil, and it i.M.lto.l tho iti.if >v_ rials. In a very few moments the car was u ! : mats of lire, and it was then pushed alon?; i the tracks and forced against the 11oudj-i i house. The building was soon ignited, yd 11 tiie soldiers were now compelled lo pre) .ire to light their way out through the iren:ied mass of humanity clamoring for their blood. The building did not burn us rapidly as desired, und the mob, bent on revenge, rushed out on the road and sent burning trains to- ' wards the doomed building. From midnight 1 until 5 o'clock this morning the main efforts { of the crowd were directed to tiring the build- ' ings and cars, but, about half an hour later, > the mob which had been besciging the mill- ' tar.v left for some unexplained reason. This afforded the troops, who were in actual danger of being roasted alive an opportunity to } emerge from the building, and they succeed- ' ed in reaching Liberty street. In a very few ] moments they quickly formed in line'and j marched up to Thirty-third street, unci j ] thence to Pennsylvania avenue and llutler; J street. Their objective point was the United j ' States arsenal on LJutler street, where they!1 expected to gain shelter. When t hey reached! J the arsenal tne commander refused to admit j1 them. Ho said he hud but ten men, unci 12 would be powerless to hold the place If the 'l' mob should attuck it. He consented, howev-! er, to take care of the wounded, and they] 1 were accordingly carried to the hospitals. ;1 In the mean time the city was in a state of 11 anarchy. Thousands who had not Joined in 1 the pursuit of the tleeing troops gathered j about the burning buildings anil trains, and assisted in spreading the llanics wherever tliey had not been applied. Jiy 7 o'clock the Jlre had extended from .Millville station to Twentieth street, and enveloped hundreds of cars, tiie extensive machine shops, two roundhouses, the depots and otlice of the Union Transfer Company, blacksmith shops, store houses, and numerous other building making tip the terminal facilities of thisi mammoth corporation. In the roundhouses were 125 tirst-elass engines, which had been j housed in consequence of.the strike. These were totally destroyed, but even the im-| mense loss which will be sustained in this j item is but a triflo in the aggregate of dam-j age done. The scenes trunspiring on Liberty i street, along the line of which the track ofj the railroads run, simply beggars description, j While hundreds were engaged in tiring the; cars and making certain of the destruction of j the valuable buildings at the outer depot, ) thousands of men, women and children wore engugedin pillaging the cars. .Men armed! with heavy sledges would break open the cars, and then the contents would be thrown out uhd carried oil' by those bent on proflting by the reign of terror existing. The street was almost eomplely blockaded by persons laboring to carry oil' tiie plunder they had gathered together. In hundreds of in- i stances wagons were pressed into service to' ^ enable the thieves to ^cl away with their j, goods. |1 Atllo clock in the morning it became up-1 parent that something must he done t<> cheek the mob, and a number of citizens hurriedly prepared notices culling a mass meeting of' the citizeus at the old city hall to lake ineas-1 ures to prevent further destruction of proper-! ty. The meeting was held ut noon, and com-, lattices appointed. A committee appointed 1 to Walton the rioters failed to Induce them' to refrain from further destruction of proper-1 ty, and the rallroud authorities could not he \ found. From the time the military tied up to j 8 o'clock in the afternoon no ell'ort hud been ; made to check the riot other than the niect-i lng of citizens referred. The mob worked very quietly, and it was a noticeable fact that few of the railroad enuiloyees were engaged In tlio work of destruction. Here and' tlierQ a man who had been discharged might; have been seen leadingjacrowd, but generally I the ringleaders were men who had never been employed on any railroad. Many half' grown boys were foremost in the woft of de-! vastatlon. j The freight depot of the Pittsburg, Cineln-, nati and St. Louis railroad was a large shed built fronting on Grant street, and extending from Washington street to Seven in avenue.' The company's general offices were a fores tory brick building fronting on Seventh avc-j nue. These were totally destoyed, us was also11 the depot of the Adams Express Company, i located on Grant street. The books and val- > uable papers had been removed from the.Un-! * ion depot offices, as well as from the other 1 building, before the fire reached them.
