The Late Alf ra y iu Yorkvillc-Full Par? tientan* We published in our {up r on Friday last, an account of a terrible affray in Yorkville, South Carolina, and through the kiuduess of | a friend, we arti erabled to luy before our readers the full particulars, as elicited before theCorouer's jury. There have been con flicting rumors on our streets about this sad ?ffair, aud we received one or two versions of | it, which we did not feel justified in publish ing. The following eau be relied on. Our correspondent, writiug under date of the 2Gth, siys : An event has just occurred which has cast a gloom over thc holiday festivities in York ville. The ladies of the Presbyterian Church got up a Christmas tree and party in R. S. Moore's hall, for the benefit of the Sunday school. During its progress some things were?thrown back and forward from the win dow and the street, which, after the disper sion of the crowd, led to a quarrel aud a street fight, which ended in the death of one yoting man and severely stabbing of another. Mr. Thos. Smith had his throat cut, so that he died in a few minutes. Wm. Snyder was stabbed iu several places, and is in a critical situation. As you may be interested to know more of the affair, I give you some of the particulars, as elicited during the Coroner's nquest, which occupied during nearly the ivhole day yesterday. It seems that a piece jf wood, thrown from the window, struck ooth Smith und Snyder, which irritated them -als > that stones und other things thrown uto the window of the room where the par ,y was being held, irritatea t?e young men in :he hall. Some of thu latter went down to ee iuto thc matter, and harsh words were rsed. After the dispersion of the party, Smith md Snyder, with several ot hors, waited for Hr. D. Jones, who was said to have used in tuiting language towards the outside crowd, md demanded that be should retract what ie said, which he would not do. They then tttacked bim and knocked him dowu, and .hen struck him. lie recovered and retreat :d a little, and drew his knife. They still nade at him, and thc scuffle continued for )nly a few moments, wheu both Smith and Snyder exclaimed that they were cut, aud ?an to Dr. Jackson's room, where Smith lied in a few moments, his throat being cut n a most frightful manner. None of the parties were intoxicated, aud be whole affair was the work of a moment. iDvery one regrets the matter, and sympa hizes with the families of thu three young nen, they being characterized as steady aud .rderly boys_Charlotte Bulletin. llouiiKK v.-The store of Messrs. Sulzbacb ;r d' Co., near Chappell's Depot, was forcibly intered on Monday night, the 23d ult,, by tight men, who tied the clerks, and rifled the )laco, carrying oft' about $1,000 wot th of jood*. They have uot been yet caught, al hough a file of men furnished from tai. post it Columbia, were sent in pursuit.-Newber y Herald. There are several highly important cases ibout to come before the Supreme Court of he United States, each of which will test the ?onstitutionality of tho Reconstruction Acts. }nc case, tho trial of which is expected to be fin very sh- rtly, will decide the question as o whether Virginia is in or out of the Union. X is confidently believed that the decision of he court will be that Virginia is not now ind never has been ont of the Union, in which ase the situation in the Southern States will )e materially changed. Tho Presideut, it is >aid, will then instruct the Military District Commanders to act in strict accordance with he decision of thc highest tribunal of the na ?ion, and permit the civil government? to re mme their functions untrammelled by the nilitary power. It is the belief of a promt tent Senator fcere that a majority of the Fudges of the Supreme Court, when the Mc \rdle case comes np, will decide that the deconstruction Acts are unconstitutional, that ? Chief Justice Chase will deliver the minority ( i-port aud make the most of the opportunity t o champion the acts and identify himself yet < nore earnestly with the Radical party North ind South. If the bottom should thus fall mt of the scheme for Africanizing tho Soutb rn State*, it is believed Gen. Grant will re set any nomination coming from the Repnb- ' ic*n party. ' DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-On Monday even- * jg last, little James Craig, about eigbt or c ioe years old, son of Capt. James C. Craig, ode from his father's residence to the post J Sice for the mail.

Disastrous Fire at tae Pine House. The largest and most commodious mansion in Edgefield District, that of BENJAMIN BKTTIS, Esq., at the Pine House, wai burned to the ground on Tuesday morning, the last day of 1S67. The fire in this case is supposed to have originated, in some way or other, from the burning-out of the chimneys. This burning-out was done early in the morning, and at 10 or ll A. M., the garret was db covered to be in finmos. The fire had pro gressed so far bofore hoing discovered that it was found impossible to oxtinguUh or arrest it Tho cosily and elegant furniture of the upper rooms was consumed with the building; that bolow stairs was rescued. No insurance. Tho loss thus sustained by our popular and hospitable fellow citizen cannot be less than fifteen thousand dol lars. 7* is melancholy, even for the general pub lic, to think that tho elegant and hospitable man sion which hos so long marked that old, familiar ?pot, "the Pine House," is now but a hosp of ashes. Sale Day. On Monday lust, we had in town a considerable crowd of citizens trom different parts of the Dis trict, and a still more considerable crowd of ne groes. The day was unusually quiet. No public sales. An auction beguiled tho roving and rudderless blacks. Thcfo blacks are wandering from pillar to post hunting home?, work, bread. Thoy ure desolate and destitute ; and are willing to take whatever is o ile red them. We bear no more of tko lengue oath to take not less than ten dollars a month or one-half tho crop. We conversed with many fcllow-citizeDB from thc country-planten-and, with a single excep tio!, each one told us ho bad already hired hi? hand? for the present y ?ar, and had hired only half as many as during the past year. We learn ed that any numbor of able-bodied laborers could bo bad for fifty dollars per year with provisions, or for a third of tho crop. Won't Work and Must Steal. On Friday night last, thieves broke through tho smoke-house of our esteemed townsman, NAT. lt AMY Sr., Esqjjand stole all his bacon, consist ing of two largrhogj rccontly slaughtered. Thc graceless rogues left the family not enough for breakfast; and carried away the lock and key of the smoke-house into th? bargain. So it goes ic these trying timo?. Won't work and must stoul ! And what is worst of all, thc robbed and pillaged have but little means of redress. They must grin and tudu : : it -? ?j ? - ""he Augusta City Railway au Accom plished Fact. The projectors of this great public improvement io our neighboring city, have carried their designs through to successful completion; and with the new year, the street cars be?an their travel through the principal thoroughfares of Augusta. We congratulate both citizens nnd visitors upon the privilege of cheap and easy locomotion thus made available to them. Do Not Fail U Read the tirent Seed Advertisement. That of PKMULK of Augusta.

By roference to our advertising columns, it will bc seen that that ever trustworthy goutleinau, Mr. GEO. L.

Lift Up Your Eyes, and Behold thc ??olden Mortar. This Golden Mortar graces the upper corner of the bold facade ofPaik Row; it stands above the window of thc prominent store-room occu pied in days long past by BLAND A BUTLER, and more recently by Jons M.

A Southern Soldier in Distress. Wo aro requested to mako public tho fact that WK. TIIOMASON, aConfedotato soldiorfrom Green ville District in our State, is still at Elmira, New Turk, whoro tho close of tho war found bim a prisoner. This unfortunate young man has lott un arm and a leg. For want of funds, we suppose, he is unuble to roturn to tho South. He is, so we ire informed, son of tho Rov. Wu. TUOUASOS, aow or formerly of Greenville District. He is rery anxious to hear from or of bis father. All papers copying this notico Will be doing a favor to a Southern soldior in distress. Let Vs Rejoice with Them. Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas are rejoicing in the removal of tho carped and worthless military men, who, for soma nonths post, bavo been trampling upon thoir feel ngs and their liberties. Prosidont JOHNSON thor Highly disgusted with the tyrannical, partisan, ingentlemanlike and cowardly conduct of Pope, 3rd and Swayne, has without ceremony cut off heir petty and ignoble heads. Pope reigaod over ?eorgiu, Florida and Alabama. Gon. Meade akes his place. Ord reigned (arresting editors, ind forbidding tombs to be placed over the graves if Southern soldier?) in Mississippi and Arkansas, jen. McDowell succeeds him. McDowell will be ememberod in connection with the first battlo of klaoassas; Gen. Monde- in connection with the ?attie of Gettysburg. Both are said to be damo irats and respectors of civil law. Swayne was the head Nigger Bureau man of Uubama, and stopped at no radical trickery rh a te ver. He has boen ordered to Nashville, renn., to tako command of his regiment The egiment we should think, became the sufferer by hil change. Of each one of these threo follows, Pope, Ord .nd Swayne, might woll be said what a Mobile ditor laid of Horton the mongrel mayor of that it/ : " He is not fit to comb out th? t;il of a falteie jack, nor to be the granny of a Berkshire 9W."

CANDY, in General Orders, Nc ICO, ordors I .ho South Carolina Reconstruction Convention to i issoinblo in Charlot ton, on Tuosday, the 1-th ! January. From this order wo oztract as follovrs : [ " At tko ulcctlon held in the State of South Cur ul ?UM, on the 19 th and 2 Otu days of Novem ber, 18C7, pursuant to General Orders No. ?9 from tbe*c Headquarters, dated October. IR, 1867, a majority of tho registered voters of tho said Stiito baring voted on the question of holding a con vention, and a majority of the votes cost being in favor of holding such convention, tho delegates elected thereto, and hereinafter mimed, aro hornby notified, in conformity with the provisions of the foarth section of the Act of Congress of March 23, 1 SGT, to assemble in convention in the City of Charleston, South Carolina, nt noon, on Ti:ti day, the 14th duy of January, 18C8, for the pur pone of framing a constitution and civil govern ment according to the provisions of the aforesaid act of tho 23d day of March, J867, and of Ibo act of the 2d day of March, 18C7 to which il: is supplementary." Thc delegates are one hundred and twenty-f ?ur in number, fifty-Ave white and sixty-nine col ored. In due timo we will give our readars their names and local habitations; most of thom, however, have none. As for these fifty-five whito men, we pity as much as condemn thom ; for time and calm reflection will surely convince them of the great wrong they aro" striving to do their State, and the humiliation they would place upon her people. And in conclusion we must say that wc devout ly hope and pray tho result of this South Carolina concern may difgust the public and dishearten thc advocates of reconstruction even more than has tho result in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana. Modification of Order No. IO. The order of Gan. CAMBY, as to Suits at Li ,w, Lovy and Execution, Ac, Ac, in our issuo of to day, resolves into certainty the general specula tion in regard thereto. This order hos been anxiously expeoted for some timo, as tho public very naturally app re hended, upon the removal of Gen. SICKLES and appointment of Gea. CAMBY, that thc famous or der Nu. 10. of the former would bo modifi?e! if ! not repealed by his successor. The principal modifications and changes con tained in this order ro?ate to causes of action arising during the wor; contract?, tho considera tions of which are founded in the purchase and sale of negroes, all settlements or payments in Confoderato money, the homestead law, the li cense laws, and distilleries. This order of Gen. CAMBY modifies tho 2nd paragraph of Order No. IU so that no action at law cnn be instituted or prosecuted, and no execu tion enforced, upon any contract rising duri lg the period from 19th Dec. 1S60 to 29th April ?865, until aftor the civil Government of this State shall be established in conformity to the laws of the United States. Paragraph 3rd of Order No. 10. is more mate rially modified. By that paragraph all levy and sale on final process was suspended, whereas ?cu. CANDY'S order suspends levy and salo, Ly impli cation ut least, only on judgments and deere;? rendered by a Court of tho "so-called Confeder ate States" between the dates of 16th Dec. 13i>6 and the 20th June 1S?5. Thereby leaving t ic Stute law." as to levy and sale in force as-to the great mats of executions now in the Sheriffs Office of the different Districts, inasmuch as compara tively very few decrees or judgments were ren dored during thc war. Thc portion of Order No. 10 relating to whut ii termed negro debt', is inodined in a very sig nificant manner. All proceedings founded upon contract.?, the consideration of which was negro property, were estopped by tho original ordeir, whereas Gen. CANDY'S order suspends those only which were commenced upon such contracts made subsequent to tho 1st January 1863. This por tion of thc order we say is significant, inasmuch us it foreshadows thc probable decision of th: United States Courts as to obligations entered into for tho purchase and sale of negroes, aud induce:? us to believe that all such obligations, mude prior to the 1st January 1863 will be enforced at law. Paragraph XVI. is amended so as to ignore en - tirely all judicial proceedings for the confirma tion of investment in Confederate or State bonds, by Executors, Trustees, or other persons of iii fiduciary character, of the funds of minors, fe mulei1, or insane porsuns ; upon tho ground thai fuch investment was for the purpose of aiding the " rebellion." Upon the same grouuds it might havo applied equally to adults. Wo say such in vestments are entirely ignored, as they are de clared subjoct to tho determination of tho laws ol' United States, which laws, we aro satisfied, will never sanction investments of this nature. Endless litigation, we fear, looms up under thir portion of Gen. CANDY'S order, as such invest ments have been almost universal by virtue of j the Act of tho General Assembly of this State. Tho restrictions upon distilling and selling of spirituous liquors imposed by Order No. 10 are inti rely repealed, and tho laws of tho United Statos and of the State of South Carolina aro again in force in regard to the making, vending and drinking (if we may add the latter word) of Liquors in general. The license laws aro, in our opinion, very discreetly (though we fear some what impractically) modified and guarded. Ai regards the homestead law, the unfortunate debtors of the country, who stand in daily awe of executions of fieri facial capia* ad latinfaciendum, and of final process in general, will hail with delight tho amendment made hythe present order in tho matter of exemption from levy and sale of j a dwelling houso and appurtenances, (and, If in tho country, twenty acros of land) not to excoed the value of $2000 ; and of subsistence, furniture^ implements of husbandry ic, of tho value ot {500. This provision or homestead law applies however only to families. Tho allowanco of j bachelors is only a fow rags. We sincerely hope that every man of family may own property enough to secure so liberal and magnanimous an exemption. Two thousand^ ave hundred dollars, cloar of dob*, in those days of poverty and gloom, may well tiokle tho fancy sf the wealthiest of bettor timos. And we venture tho assertion that editors and printers never had ' io brilliant an opportunity oxtondod to thom since . ?ld Guttonberg discovered or invonted tho art of ? . . f printing. We hasten to advise all defaulters to cause their property to bo leviod upon and sold, so as to se sure this boautifnl arrangement Tho Mobilo Tribuna states that between 18,000 and $10,000 wero spent in that city on Christmas day, in the purchase of toy?, firoworks ind nicknacks.

Fro " LEO'S" last lotter wo cull as follows : Some of the Senators now hero stato that tl Senate will immediately, upon re-asreinblin pass the House Bill for repealing the cotton t: aftor tho present year. Tho plantors and otho interestod may be assured of this, and inako ai arrangements accordingly, in regard to contrat for hands, etc. A strong feeling has arisen commercial circles, in favor of affording sot much noeded relief to tho cotton planting in tere. Several prominent Senators and Repr?sentativ aro in favor of it. Thole who desired to app the repeal of tho tax to tho crop of 1867 w support some feasible schema for the purpose encouraging the cotton culture for 1863. It is said that Chief Justice Chase has e pressed the opinion that some effective mode relief should be adopted by the Ooveromei The cotton tax takes millions of dollars out tho pockets of producers of tho cotton crop i 1867. Wer? that now left in the South the would be loss reosou for proposed Govcrnme interference. A bounty might bo granted on t prod action of colton-say two and a half cen ti pound for the next crop-or the Government in make advances to factors or to the Cotton Stati to be used for promoting tho cotton culture, ai ultimately to oe refunded to the Treasury. The merchants and manufacturers of tho Nor are alarmed at tho prospect of the abandonme of the cotton culture in the South. Those wi favor the protective system will probably be w ling to extend it to the cotton culture. Parties art becoming organized or disorganize in roferonce to tho Presidential election. Tl Ant objeot of every political clique is to fix up< candidates for defeat or for success, as much t fort ii now making to defeat some individuals to elect others. Thero aro combinations again Genoral Grant as well as for him. So as Judye Chase, som? are working for and otbc against him. The President, it is believed, having rolinquwl ed all hope of his own eloction, is now bent upc doing all that ho can for the defeat of Gener Grant Nor is he botter disposed to any of tl Democratic civilians-such as Pendleton, Vallai dingham and Seymour, than to Grant. Poli: cians consider that ho has killod off tho civ chiefs of tho demooracy by bringing out Gcncri Hancock so prominently as the National Unie Conservative candidato. The President, ia order further to diminis Gonoral Gram's chances for nomination or elei tion, has shown a disposition to make a dirersio in favor c" Chiof Justice Chase. Ho has Intel shown a patronizing policy towards pronounce Chaso laen. For instance General McDowcl who is appointed to tho command of tho Fourt Military District, is the intimate ptrsonal andp<. litical fiicnd of Judge Chase. Through the multiplicity of party combination it is thought very probable that tho President!: election will be defeated before the people-a r< suit mach to be deprecated.

Through the enterprise of Colonel B. F Evans, one of the original projectors of tht Kalmia Company, under whose superinten dance the works have been brought to theil present advanced stato, nearly all thc while contending against difficulties that would have deterred any one but a man of his well known perseverance and determined energy, an important discovery has been made, which, with the aid of capital and proper machinery, will be a *ource of immense wealth to the owners, besides giving employment to hun dreds of people. This discovery consists of Jst. Au inexhaustible supply of the iinest Kaolin or Porcelain Clay. This clay is now being manufactured into crockery by the South Carolina Porcelain Company, whose works are but two miles from tho Kalmia Mills. They arc also exporting considerable quantities, b>lh from Charleston aud Savan nah. From an imperfect record, wo learn that the exporLs from this city the past year anrunt to about 1,300 tons, which, however, is but a small percentage of thc shipments by the Kaolin Company, as much tho larger portion has been sent down Big Horse Creek to Savannah Uiver, thence to Savannah. There are several deposits of this clay on Big Horse Creek, four of which are known to bo of fine quality. Some, however, are infe rior, and in small quantities, besides so deep under ground as to make them unavailable. Of the four deposits known to be very fine, two are located on the lands of the Kalmia Mills, and very near to the South Carolina Rail Road on Big Horse Creek. They are inexhaustible. Few people are aware of thc value of Kaolin as an article of commerceand manufacture; few know how many articles of daily use are largely adulterated with Kao lin from Horse Creek ; but the largest use which is made of tho article is in thc manu facture of crockery, paint, putty and alum. The demand at highly remunera ti ve prices ha3 increased so rapidly, that it is already bc yond the ability of those engaged in the busi ness to supply it. Tho prico obtained ranges from #18 to $22 per ton. 2d. A deposit of Ochro of all the usual colors, very convenient to water, in which it has to be washed, as well as near to trans portation. This ochro is free from grit, and remarkably fine ; pronounced by competent judges to be as good as the best ochre fro Rochelle, France, from which place most now used in the world is obtained. 3d. A very large deposit of Burh-stone, which han been pronounced equal to the best French Burh. This stono has been used in the neighborhood for a great many years, and yet never put into the markets of the world for sale. But few deposits of Burh stone are found, it being a rare formation. The stones ?re very costly, so much so that a pair of 78 inches in diameter cost in Franco 1,300 fiancs, Dr $250 in gold. Prof. Tuomey, in his Geology of the State [page 2900, says: "The beds of silicifiod shells of Barnwell will furnish an excellent material for this purpose. Pieces may be found that agree exactly with the French , burh-stones ; but thooe who have attempted 1 to procure mill-stones at this locality have committed a great mistake io trying to get j -hem in one piece. Every one knows that french burh mill-stones arc made up from j lixteen to twenty pieces, cemented and bound . ogether with iron hopes." And on page 143, ' This is the most extensive deposit of bnrh f nill.8tone in the State ; solid stones, ten feet n diameter, can be procured ; the beds, taken \ ogether, exceeding thirty feet in thickness." t Here, also, is found a quality of stono si mi- ( ar to that which is imported from Scotland, lt a heavy expense, for the purpose of hulling * ice in the rice mills. The?e deposits offer a rare field for capital- _ ats. If properly worked, we have no doubt hey could be made to yield a very largo profit. If our feeble efforts should be the means a if directing the attention of capitali sts to this leid of enterprise, wo will feel amply repaid ? br the time and space we have devoted to the " ibject.-Charleston Courier. -?-*-?- j fgf- ?Don't put too much confidence in a lov r'o vows and sighs," said Mrs. Partington to her ^ ?eco.

J ?2 Governor Haight, of California, on the Question, of Negro Suirragc. Governor Haight, in his inaugural, speak ng of national affairs, says: " Tho propriety of admitting the blacks to luffrage belongs to each State to determino br itself. Had Congress been able to control .his subject, both negro and Chinese suffrage ivould probably have been forced upon the people pf California against thc will of the majority. Ignorance of the effects of such legislation would have inflicted upon us evils ictually intolerable. So far as California is loncerned tho peoplo of this State have ex pressed their opposition both to negro and Chinese sulfrage. A portion of those persons in this State who favor negro suffrage hesitate to advocate Chinese suffrage, but the congressional policy make no distinction. On the countrary, that policy proposes to igoore all discrimination in political privileges founded on race or color. Indeed, there is no line that can be drawn, unless suffrage is confined to thc white pop ulation. If it is a question of justice, as some assert and justice requires tho ballot to bc given to the negro, then it equally requires tho ballot to bo given to the Chinaman. If the negro requires the ballot to protect himself, as the others assert, then the Asiatic needs it to pro tect himself. There is, however, no truth in either statement. No principle of justice is involved any more than in the case of fe males, or minors, or foreigners not naturaliz ed-nor does the negro need the ballot to protect himself any more than either of the other classes referred to. On the contrary, it is for the good of both those races that the elective franchise should be confided to the whites. The aid of Afri cans or Asiatics would be an evil and not a benefit. It would introduce the antipathy of race into our political contests, and lead .to strife and bloodshed. The opposition to giv ing the negro and Asiatic the ballot is not based upon prejudice or ill-will against those races, but upon a conviction of the evils which would result to the whole country from cor rupting the source of political power with ele ments so impure. These inferior races have their civil rights as all good men desired they should have. They can sue and be sued in the courts, ac quire and possess property, they have entire freedom of person, and pursue any lawful occupation for a livelihood, but they will never, with the consent of thc people of this State, either vote or hold office. From Washington. WASHINGTON, January 4, p. m.-Howard's report to Gen. Grant, covering letters from the South does not creditthe wide spicad des titution represented. He says the last year Southern gentlemen catimated it would lake two millions whereas half a million met the necessities. He thinks the year's distress will not prove so stringent as represented by Govs. Orr, Humphreys, and othtr3, but before spring t^ere will doubtless be suffering in South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and small sections of other States. He urges the President and Congress to inaugurate a syKteni of relief which will not pauperize thc people. Gen. Howard, with Gen. Grant'? epproval, has directed the sub-Commissioners to relieve absolute distress, and has directed purchases of corn for distribution in the tno?t needy sections. No Bureau officers will bo retained South except upon representation ol the sub-Commissioners that their services are imperatively needed. Governor SwaDn's message represents the assessed value of property in Maryland larger than before the war, notwithstanding emanci pation losses.

The procession moved to the " African Methodist Church" in Calhoun street, where au oration appropriate to the day was delivered by Rev. F. L. Carduza (colored). To the credit of the freedmen, il may be said, the celebration passed off in thc most orderly manner and without tho slightest disturbance. G BN. Gi'.A--T.-In a life of Gen. Grant, by Col.
