Letter from Gov. Perry. From tho Columbia Phoenix. MR. EDITOR : It i? high time that the press of South Carolina, and the public speakers of the State, had turned thoir attention from the usurpation, tyranny and corruption of tho radical Congress, to thc wild, extravagant, and atrocious legislation of that " unlawful assembly," composed of carpet-baggers, ne groes and scalawags, now sitting in Colum bia, and styling themselves " the General As sembly of South Carolina." This heterogeneous anti motley croup of wou'd be legislators, really seem disposed to bankrupt the State, and drive the people to acts of violence, or goad them on to revolu tion. Never before, in the history of civiliz ed legislation, wa? there - a spectacle so re volting and disgusting, as wo now have iu South Carolina. A greedy swarm of uwprin cipled adventurers from the North, without fortune and without character-many of them escaned convicts from jails and penitentiaries -have come here, under the protection of Federal bayonets,- and by pandering to the ignorance, prejudice and bad passions of our former slaves,.have Ead themselves 'elected to the Legislature, sa called, and are filling all the high office* of the State, lt is in vain to say that some bf them may be honest and worthy. No gentleman,' or honest man, with the instincts of a gentle man, could be induced by any*earthly consid eration, lo come here as they have, and occu . py the places they do, against the wishes of all honest and respectable citizens. Their solo purpose is to get money, and to get of fice, and tb protect themselves against the possible and discricd vengeance of an out raged and oppressed people. Whilst stealing and plundering the public treasury, and be ing bribed for all their pretended bogus leg islation, they are trying, like cowards, with guilty consciences, to guard against personal danger, by tyranny, oppression and despo tism. Impoverished and ruined as thc people of South Carolina are, this bogus Legislature have not only increased salaries of all the State officers one-third, but have created a multitude of officer^* before unknown and wholly iioneccs^ary, with extravagant Sala riea and perquisites, for the express purpose of providing for?tlre?r hungry and. worthless position, ?here and :it tue North. For former years the most illustrious raeu of the State, learned and profound lawyers, were willing to accept a seat on the bench, with a salary, of.?3,0j)0. Now, a parcel of ignorant, low and grovelling men, carpet-baggers and scal awags, have helm erected to the bench, with sn I ar ios of four and five thousand dollars! So il is with al] the other officers of the States. A batch > f C'urfty i llic-r> have been crea ??.?I, whose sauries will nm UM UJ two or lime hundred,,thousand d-d laps, whose duties were i?:inerly performed hy gentlemen of in jul igence ?i:'t? -'nolie spirit, without cumpen ?-r.ur.ji!

The lese school sys tem, for the education of the negroes, wi); it*quire over one milhon of dollars annually, io put it in operation and keep it up! Thc police ol the State? and the maintainance of a negro force in each County, provided for by law, will require over a million of dollars! The pay of jurors, thc support, of paupers, and other incidental appropriations, will prob ably co>t the State five pr six hnndnd thou sand dollars- more-making an aggregate o' four millions of doihirs! This enormous sum cannot be paid, and should not bo paid by the impoverished peaple-of South Carolina. lt is ten times tho taxation which we .were required to pay, in our days of wealth and prosperity ! But not satisfied with these enormously extravagant and prodigal expenditures and appropriations for a poverty stricken people, this mongrel, stupid and unprincipled bogu? Legislature, have issued bonds aud endorsed bonds for that body, amounting to several millions of doHsirs. They have likewise been brib'-d by tho bill holders of the Bank of th*' State, to issue bondi for th .se b Ils, at their pur value, when tiley were purchased by th? holders for ten cents in thc dollar! Thc most alarrci-'g feature, however,.o( this wicked and Mupid Legislation, su-called, is the bill rc?eut?y introduced to su-pend the wrir^of habeas corpus, seize the railroads and telegraphic wire-, and c;dl oui a standing ar my o! negroes, to protect the cowardly ty rants and usurpers in their despotism, oppres sion and-plunder. This bid authorizes the -' Governor, so-cailed, aud his minions all over the State, to arrest and imprison any one, without charge or accusation, and confine theo in dungeonsatQoug as it ur-ty suit their pleasure-no trial tu be had. In thc mcaD titr.e. these blaCk troops arc to insult and outrage our families, aud plunder aud destroy our homes and property. A more infamous, cruel, atro'ji-.us ard degrading despotism, was n.-vc-r established by the Grand Ba.-th.iw ol T?rke}', or the Imperiul Cz?r uf alt lb? Rus sie.s! If . here is nature or manhood left in the Tinte race, it wilt not, cannot be borne Their vengeance will fall on the carpet-bag gers and "Culawags. 'and not on the poor de luded negro. Retributive justice, sooner or later, *ver has and ever will overtake tyran ny and ernitf. lt is .high lime, I have said, for the people of South Carolina io turn their attention from national politics to these terrible Stare wroDgs and grievances. They mu.it nut be ovetl-ok ed in our present political excitement, for the tune will come, and that speedily, when they wili crush us t" the carib. We ought to pre pare to meet them.

Captain William Ncvitf, an aged and highly respectable citizen of Anderson District, died on Monday last, after an illness of only a few days. He wns a na'ivo of Maryland, and emigrated when quito young to Fairfield District, Thc Insurrection in Spain. LONDON, September 29. The Madrid Gazette of tho 24th instant, | issued by official authority, announces that the insurgents against the Government of her most Catholic Majesty Queen Isabella tho Second have appeared, in arms in the pro vince and city of Alicante on the Mediterra nean ; and that they are thus at the resideuce^ of the Consuls of almost all" the European States and interrupt the trade of the cuutry vastly. They are also at Leon, and the rang? of the Asturias in the province of O vierto, hav ing on thc No ct h the Bay of Biscay, on the East Santander, on the West Galicia, and on the South the Calabrian Mountains, which separate if ti om Loon. The official journal acknowledges thaHho insurrection prevails a'so in Malaga, on the Meiiterranajan, distant sixty five miles East Northeast from Gibraltar, in the town and' province of Bejar, forty five miles South of Salamanca, : s well as io the town and prov ince of Alcoy, .twenty-four miles North .Nortt?west from Alicante, and that pronun ciamientos have been made at alltbese places against the Queen. } It is also stated that the insurgent forces have"agaid taken possession of nnd occupied Cordova, eighty-six miles Northeast of Seville, destroyed tho bridge which crosses tho Gua dalquivir, and torn up and destroyed thc rail road track, cutting off communication with the capital aud the surrounding centres. The royalist Geuoral Novaliches had ar rived, after a hurried march, with his troops, at a point lifteeu miles distant from Cordova. He there baited, and having reconnoitered the position of the revolutionists, despatched a message t ) " head-quarters" asking for re inforcements before attacking it. The naval officers who are in revolt against the Queen have sworn and pledged to each other, before the people, not to accept reward or pay for serving the cause of liberation, de claring that the insurrectionary rising bas been undertaken, and made solely with the intent to free their country from executive oppression, and from a corrupt dynasty. A rumor prevails in this citv, the report coming from Madrid, to thc effect that the inhabitants of Majorca, Minorca, Ivizn, Fo mentara aod Cabrera, known as, the Baleario group-forming .an administrative .province of Spain, have pronounced at very many points of the territory in favor of thc revolu tion against the Queen. Jose Salamancas was sent to Queen Isabel la by General Concha, praying that the young Prince Asturias might go to the capi tal and assume thc government of the nation. The Queen refused and return?d a reply that the Prince should not rule a peopie of robbers and assassin*. r The news from Spain is meagre. Official reports received state that tito nows fivors tho Government. The Emperor has invited Prince Napo leon to Paris for a consultation on the affairs of Spain. LONDON, September 29-Evening, it Ls reported that Madrid is quiet, but on ly waits thu signai ' Jr rebellion. Th? Queen has abdicated in favor of her' son.iPrince of thai Asturias. General Purvis is master of Cadiz. LONDON, September 30. The following important news has been ?received from Madrid : Jose Coucha and Manuel Concha have pro nounce.! for the revolution. The people of Madrid and the anny garrisoning il have fol lowed their example. The sta'ue of the Queen was dragged through tho streets of Madrid by the rebels. Pajva, of the Boyal army, ha* been utterly defeated by the insurgents in the province of Ciudad Real. His army is dispersed and himself a lugitive. Marshal Serrano, ol th?.- rebel army, is marchme tiri ihe capital un-opposed. Grrgenti bas been captured by . the insurgents. A provisional junta h?y? been formed. Perfect order pre vails evetywhere. MADRID, October 1. Queen Lsabe.lla has left the Spanish territo ry, and the revolutionary leaders have organ ized a provisional government. The Gazette publishes the proclamation of the Provisional Government deposing Isahel la, declaring the sovereignty of the people anl denouncing the Bourbons. . - The Andalusian rncrchat.ts and bankers have offercrcd to loan the Provisional Gov ernment 100,00,0,000 reals. Thc Marquis Novalichez is dead from wounds received. Madrid is perfectly quiot. The interview between Isabella and thc French imperial family lasted but fifteen min utes. Gonzales Bravo bad also a brief inter v+ow with the Queen at Castile. MADKID, October 2, noon. , The Gazelle, publishes the proclamation of the Provisional Government deposing Queen isabella and proclaiming the sovereignty ol the people, and denouncing the Bourbons.

Gonsales Bravo bad a brief interview vuth t!ie Queen ai Castle Pan. MADRID, Ociober 3, noon. Serrano will not tro to Madrid because the national guaros, which hold Madrid, refuse admission to the regular troops which Ser rano comniaiids. FORMIDABLE ASPECT OF THK INDIAN WAK. -A Washington correspondent ?iva that the intelligent*.: received in "ffieial quarters, indi cates that the indian wat is becoming more formidable tuan was anticipated b)' the mili tary generals some days ago. A larger bod}' of troops than is now under the control ol Siierman, will doubtless be required to estab ii*b peate and protect the citizens in tbe Wes tern ten ?tone-. This matter has been en tirely under the control of Genera s Grant. Sherman ?nd Sheridan, aud on thi-ir jung ment will depend the course : that shall be pursued relative to the treaim?nt of or pun ishment that shall be inflicted, upon the In dianB. The ['resident depends entin-lv upon the suggestions of these military officers as to what shall bo done by the Executive in the suppression of Indian hostilities; and un der the law he can issue nt?order in the pre mises, unless it pass through the hands of the General in Chief, Grant, who has not given any advice in tho matter. The YorkviHe Enquirer says: " A corres pondent of the Charleston News, iu a recent issue, states that Governor Scott has been in formed that the civil pr.oct-sa cannot be exe culed in York District.* Since reading the statement we have mad* diligeut iiiquiry of the sheriff and.su?h of tho constables as we have met, concerning the matter and have not heard of a single insta?J?e where any*buch i fficiT has been opposed, in an)' way, in the' discharge of the duties of* his office. "S'.me weeks ago the Deputy United-States" Marshal of this distric made an attempt o Kcize..a dis tillery, belonging to one Stewart, a Radical "living in the vicinity of King's Mountain, who threatened tn either kill or he-killed be fore ho would surrender his still. This ha? probably been got into its slanderous shape nv certain parties fnr campaign purposeR4 York was never more quiet or law abiding than at the present, time. A few Radicals will, now and then, create a little difficulty, but the people of York mu*t not. bc made | responsible for what these fellows do." pST Thoma*, tho mau who killed Kimberly at the Cincinnati rolling mill, by thrusting a red hot iron through bis body, has been acquitted on the ground of justifiable homicide.

Tho Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions began its sittings in our town on yesterday, Monday ?tb, Z c. en ANIA ii PLATT, formerly of New York, but more recently, and very grievously, of Aiken, presiding. How long the Court will sit, or wheth er it will ever be fairly got under way, we cannot sxy. Up to the timo of our writing, noon of Tuesday, it seems impossible to gather a jury. Every man in thc District has been called, and about ono in a huuQred bas answered. A Regular Rouser. Monday last was Sales-day in Edgefiold, and the first day, too, of the Fall Session of the Court of Common Pleas and General . S?riions. And besides thie, Col. REED, of Anderson,; Democratic nominee fur Congress from tho 3rd Congressional 'District, bad been advertised to address the peo ple. The crowd was consequently very large; nod thc doy a busy and a lively ono. The cbiel feature waa Col. REED'S speech, which WRS a regular rouser. He chuso the Park ns the place of his holding-fort h ; and sp o ku in real old-fash, toned, Democratic, open air style. Indeed Col REKD may. himself be called a regular rouser. He is balo, and hearty, and bluff, and portly, and unstudied, and impulsive. And all this may be said of his speech. He did not go by line and plummet) but, os .he expressed it himself, shot in evory direction with a double-barrel shot-gun. And never failed to bit the mark in-the mort telling manner. He scnthed the Radical party, and moro particularly the so-called Legislature of South Carolin?, in the most pitiless manner; but departed in no jot or tittle from thc rigid truth His remarks, explanations, und appeals to thc negroes, pf whom there w?ro a goodly number present, wcro the best and most apropos we have ever board.

Ho remained with his father iu consultation all day, and left for tho Wost at uight. ' Tho following extract from the lettor is vory encouraging: Several intimate friends of. Gen. Blair called on him during the day, and they found him in high spirits and perfectly confident of the succoss of the D?mocratie ticket in tho Presidential contest. He claims to hnve the. best information from every State, and according to his calculations the Dem ocrats will carry New. York, . Pennsylvania and Indiana, with a. close voto in Ohio. He suya that tho Democratic vote in tho Wost and Northwest will astonult partfts, and that Horatio Soy lubur will bo clectod by a'two-thirds vote of the Electoral College A letter from tho.Hon.

There is no .variation in tho accounts that reach us from i.ur friends there, and tboy Warrant .tho expectation that on the 13th of October next the Conserva tives will achieve a signal and overwhelming tri umph. The Democracy of tho old Keystone are fairly aroused ; they are at work all ov,r the State, and the calculation of Mr. Cameron .'{hat our'vote will not be out, will not in tho end piove to be any wiser than that of tho 'man who built his house upon sand. Thc Intelligencer, in.the same'article quotod above, say?, with rogard to Pennsylvania, and the same words may be applied to Ohio : Thc Conservativas of Pennsylvania Save now before them tho noblest opportunity offered to men siuco the days bf tho American Revolution. The glorious heritage of liborty' then won by thc valor and sacrifice of their revolutionary fathers is now in jeopardy. It is for them to Bay whether we shall enjoy the".pncoless blessings vf a free Constitution, or whether tho country shall bo handed over to the foulet, ? thc most corrupt and degrading of despotisms, compared with which oven tbut of Russia or Turkey would be respecU ublo. The Radical lenders have basely conspired against this system of constitutional liberty, and they demand tho right of office und plunder by enfranchising negroes and keeping hundreds of thousands of white mon from tho palls. In the ?hreo States of West Virginia, Missouri, and Ten nossoe, there two hnndred thousand white mea not allowed to vote in tho Presidential election. We Desire the Special Attention of the Colored People. Thc Radical who did more towards emancipa ting tho negroes than any other man North or South is tbe notorious and immaculate Hinton Bowan Helper, now, if wo inistako'not, a resident and citizen of North Carolina. This man began his work by writing and publishing that famous and effective pamphlet, "The Impending Crisis." Since then, he has written a huge volume entitled "Ni'j .que," in which he very clearly intimate* -that he looks upon tbe'negro as a sjfecies of thc -brute creation, and believes that he should not be allowed tn liv? among the Anglo S?xon;race; " Nbjoque" has attracted much attention ltnd been much admired-principally among Radical*. But Mr. HINTON ROWAN HELPEH is so impatient, for the removal or extermination of the negro that he cannot wait for. tho word pf command ;, that word of command which will most assuredly be given if the Radical party continues in power in this country. And consequently ne has-issued still another book which he, calls " Negroland." Wo have not seen this latest ^production of the friendly Helper, but wo bear that its great object is the removal of the negroes from this country. Helper is a mighty man in bis way ; and from his big book, " Nnjoque," we make the following extract, and cull the special attention of the col ored people to tho same. And we desire them, further, to understand that these aro not the lui? timents of the people of tbo South, but of (heir Radical Irienda in ibe North.

And this beoutiful extract is endorsed, in their hearts, if not upon their lips, by nine out of evory ten of tho Radical party. Warmoutb, Radical Governor of Louisiana, boldly vetoed, a few days ago, just such an Equality Bill as wits sought to be passed lately by tho so-called South Carolina Legislature. And while the Radical Wu'rmouth tums up his noso at the "idea of negro equality in Louisiana, Gov. Holden, the great Radical light of North Carolina, openly avers that alter his partyis dono with using the negroes" >for political purposes, they will be removed out of the country. And still, this is the party to which the infatua ted negroes are io blindly and fatally clinging. Wo would say to them : Fling aWay your ambi tious pr. j.'cts and-false hopes of woaMj, grandeur, politics- and power. Something to eat ?nd I? wer is what ?ou ojl want.uuw ; and it is certain tbut neither suffrage, nor. political honors, nor tflembertbip in tbe Union League, will supply it.

Before the police oould separate them several wcro killed, one man hav ing twenty-seven knife wounds. j^f Because a man who attends a nook of sheep is a shepherd, makos it no reason that a nao 9bo fcspps cow tUmSA twawFwl Keep the Names in Your Minds. Tho names of merchants and tradesmen who advertise! We would soy to our friends from the country, and anywhere else, that when they come to tho Court Houso to trado, they would do well to remember thc names and plac?s of such merchants and trudcsnion as advertise their busi ness liberally ; and from these, make, their pur chases. Fur it i-: a certain fact that tho business mau who is tuu penurious, timid and undecided to publicly invito and attract oustom, is sure to be also too ponurious, timid and undecided to bo liberal in trado. The man who brings his name and business prominently before tho people, shows a keon sagacity of which he need not be ashamed) and which poople who do not desire to bo duped, ought to admire and uphold. Wo know that many people will speak or think thus upon roading the abovo. " The milk in that cocoanut is that newspapers Uve in a great degree upon advertisements." Bah ! we do not pretend, for a moment to deny that fact, or our motive either. But all this, nevertheless, does not de tract ono; whit from tho truth of our remarks. The advertisements of many of tho leadidg business houses in Charleston and Augusta, es pecially the latter city/ appear in our columns from timo to time. And wo Say to our friends and readers who moy visit either of these cities, that thoso aro Housos of high character, and will offer inducements in trado far superior to those ? who appear to have no character to make or rep utation to surtain. Keep the namos, therefore, in your minds ! Some Angosta N'unies to Keep in Mind. I. P. GIRARBEY.-Major GIRAROEY, ono of the best citizens of Augusta, hos opened a " Now Boot aud Shoe Store." Seo the advertisement, in another1 column, so headed. This, you may roly upon it, will be, (rom tho very beginning, an exceedingly ologant anti fashionable establish ment. Major GiRAJiDY is sufficiently a French man to have an uncommon oyo for tho beautiful, and enough of an American to always look after durability and good work. The lady or gentle man who knows how to appreciate a good, last ing, fashionable or becoming article, will not (if she or he once learns it) forget the locality of GIR-ARDEY'S New Boot and Shoe Store : -.Shop formerly.occupied by Mrs. IIEKHY, as.a Millinery Store.

Last Saturday night wetk our Female Seminary waa humed to the.ground* and.ev ident to every one, ii waa the work of an in cendiary. lt, seems the matter has been quietly hui, surely ferreted out during the past week, and on Sunday morning a war rant for the arrest of six negroes was sworn1 out, and lour of them were lound and arrest- ? ed by the State officers. One of thc "party gave bail to'appe?r thi* morning, afc-9 o'clock. Sunday night, about balf-past ll. a body ol cavalry in disguise, variously estimated to number from 150 to 300, picketed the town, and drew up in front of the jail. Five or six of the'e demanded tbe.:prisoners of-th.e cou Iable, who, with fbur^men, was. guarding tbem. Ile n-fu>ed to surrender them, -except to lawful authority, whoiiali-nt once a signal wai given, and a charge -was made in force by the whple body. Thc constable and guards were knocked down, Rearclird, and locked ip in a room. Three or four shots were ?rt' ed in tbe melee by the guards and., were re plied to by the lynchers. The cell'of .the* prisoners was then entered, they were seized and carried ?bout a halt' mile from, the town and hiing under a bridge. A placard was placed on each one,'telling his crime and name, and giving his confes sion. "Their nnm.es were Port Simpson, Ben Cooper and Jake Bell. Tho coufesMims gave the names of fiiteen or twenty others, mem bers of .the League, who ar? sworn to burn every house, kill all stock, and, if (hat does not intimidate the rebel-, to kill a few of | them .

Great excitement and consternation prevail among'.thc freed men. . !.; Port Simpson was leader of the organiza tion ; the other two have borne a bad repute for years. Two of tho three ringleaders were not arrested. All of the guilty parties, as far as known, have been summoned to testi fy against th? fourth man, who gave bail.

M. C. BUTLER, Pres't. A. J. NOBBIS, Scc'ry. ' .-m ?-.-. For the Advertiser. Mn. EDITOR.-It is not beyond the range of possibilities that "tho Electoral Vote of South Carolina may : decide the Presidential eloction. Tho " boasters" of the Republican party exult in tho ?doa that Orant will carry crery Union State except Kentucky and Maryland, whilst tho moro sanguino Democrats claim Seymour's election by a majority of 40 or SO Electoral votes. Tho probabilities are, that unless somo groat reaction takes placo witkin tho' noxt fow weeks, that it will be a closely contosted election. It appears to us that the following is a fair ex hibit of the relative strength of the two parties, premising that exchanges, which will balance each other, mny bo made in the doubtful list. As comparatively certain for Sejmour may be claim ed : California 5, Delaware 3, Kentucky ll, Mary land 7, New Jorsoy 7, New York 33, Oregon i. Making a.total of '69 votes.' Georgia 9, Alabama 8, and Arkansas 5, may aldo woll be counted as certainly Democratic, if fair play is allowed. Making 91 votes. Tho Republicans can count on Iowa 8, Maine, 7. Massachusetts 12, Michigan 8, Minnesota 4, Nebraska 3, Nevada 3, Rhode Island^,-Tennessee 10, Vermont 5, Now Hampshire 5, and Wisconsin 8. Also, North Carolina 9, Florida'3, and Louisi ana 1. Making a total of 96. The ^States which aro doubtful, but in which the probabilities favor tho Democrats.'Src ns fol lows: Indiana 13, Pennsylvania 20, Connecticut C, Kansas 3, and West Virginia 5 ; nffiounting to 53 electoral votos, which, with tho 91 beTore men tioned, would make' 144. * Illinois 16, Ohio 21, and Missouri 11, are claim ed by the Republicans, and their votes, added lo those certain for Grant, would make 144. In a case Uko this, tho six votes of South Caro . lina .would elect either Seymour or Grant as the case might be, for Texas Mississippi and Virginia, boing unreconstructed, are not allowed to vote. ? , The Republicans carried 32 of tho 20 States which voted for a Provident in -1864, ,-giviog a popular majority of 411,251. Sinco then how ever jht> Democrats have beon steadily gaining. At the last general election of these same States, the Republicans carried Jbut 15, whilst thc Demo crats carried 10/ Instend of 3, and tho popular majority was only 46,910, or a-; Utile more than . one-tenth of what it was in '64. Grant's personal popularity will undoubtedly add to the strength of his party. In this view the queptjoD arisos, What chance havo we for carry ing South Carolina? The relative portion ol Blacks to "Whit's in the State, is about 4 to 3.' According to tho Registration lists last spring,' uudor tho Reconstruction Acts, SO,550 Black-, .and 4G;SS2 Whites.aro entered. It is estimated .that it least 15,000 Whites were disfranchised or neglected to onle? their names. 66,418 negroes and 2,350 whites voted {br a Convention,' and 70,758 votes were cast in favor of Ratifying the Constitution. At the the time of those elections the Dom? crUio party wan not organised, and in many of tho Districts little or no efort was made to in flnenoe the election. Now there is a different state of affairs. Democratic Clubs have boon or ganized in every District ; largo and enthusiastic Mass Meetings have Leon held, und addrossof, urging tho peoplo to work, have beon mad-: by -p-om mont men. If ibo white mon do their duty, this Sute can bo carried fir Seymour ?c. Blair, but if each one waits for some ono elso to do thc work, 1 hen -.Ibv Republicans.-can walk over tho track as they did st the previous elections, Let jt not bo said tbnt theo'd "96" District was r?criant to her trust. Let every citizen act as if tho contest depended on his individual exertions. Seo to it tbnt your, friends and neighbors do their part. Inspire them with hope and courage. Have, proper bal lots printed for ,dif tribut ion. Watch the polls that' tho men are not allowed to more thun onco. Guard the Ballot Box ? 'nat it cannot bo tampered with. Send con* punces tn bring in tboso wno niay be unable to go to lb? polls, 0* who aro indifferent on tho subject. If thore was no object to be guinea", other than showing the Northern Radicals that South Caro lina-thc State tboy "hate worso than' ony other, and which has tbo-hirgest proportion of Blacks ot any of the S litios- cannot be trnimnoled by their so-called Reconstruction-Acts, and- now in spite of all their efforts to the contrary, assists in iboir overthrow, this alono should be sufficient to' nerve ovary man in the State to make the effort. .X> -, : . --ti.v -i lilli YT.

RECOVERY OF STOLEN BONDS.-We take the following from the Detroit (Mich.) Free Press : In the Spring of 18C5, a number o? bonds of the Blue Ridge- Railroad Company, of 'South Carolina, were' stolen from the Bank of South Carolina, in Charleston, by t?e Un ion soldiery. Since that time detectives all over the country have':boen.engaged in ^try ing to discover the bond?,, but until quite ro ? cently no clue to them could be found. A few weeks ago a resident of Windsor called at one of the banks in this'city and offered two of die stolen securities lor sale, but tbe officers of the bank declined tQ negotiate with bim, on tho supposition that all was not right,' and'informed tbe chief of police of the cir cumstance. The person was arrested, but succeeded in convincing tbe au thor;'i es that he bad obtained the bonds of another party (a temporary_residcnt bf Windsor), who bad commissioned bim to dispose of- Xben. This led to the arrest of the other party, who s?r^ rendered two of the bonds of the denomina tion-of $1.000. These were forwarded to" the President of the bank from which'they were stolen, and yesterday the polled depart ment received notification of their safe arriv al at their. destination. The circumstance will doubtless lead to a discovery ci more, and perhaps all of the bonds. ? _ ' ? -?- ?> t3?~ A Ban Francisco bootmaker has invented the latest agony in the way of ladies' gaiters.
