In Spartanburg we are informed that the jail is so full of so-called Ku-Klux that many are camped outside underguard. In York we are told that all the roads leading to the court house are picketed by soldiers, and any one attempting to pass either way is arrested, and in many in stances thrown into jail, and that in one case where a party had gone to make an arrest at night they intruded upon the privacy of young ladies' chambers, and pulled the covering from their bodies, pre tending to search for their victim. We are further infonned that many persons ate leaving their homes in order to avoid these arrests, not that they feel themselves guilty, but because they may be arrested upon mere suspicion or idle accusation, and put to great trouble and expense to procure bail, and perhaps by perjury be convicted of the crime alleged, and sent to thc penitentiary, all of which is not only possible, but very probable. From thc Washington Patriot. "Let us have peace," said the President, and to-day the sabre clatters and thc bay onet glitters in South Carolina. Its Rad ical Governor is deposed in a portion of I the State, and Radical Judges driven from the bench. No matter whether thc con dition of affairs in the Stat'- is patisfuctory to the people ol' the State or not, they an not to be consulted. Ou?'military I'm dent is to bc the judge :is io waa! is proper for the-people of a Stale. Governor fccou and the Legislature of South Carolina were of opinion that everything was well enough, or else they would have taken steps to make it right; but, under the new dispensation, they are saved the trouble by the intervention of the Commander in-Chief. From the Chronicle & Sentinel. When General Nagy-Sandor, the Hun garian patriot of '4S and '49, declared to the Austrian butchers, on the scaffold, and with his dying breath, "hodiemihi, eras tibi," "it is my turn to-day, but yours to morrow;" so niay the South, in lier great agony, warn the North that the infamies practiced upon her to-day will, on the morrow, return with ten-fold retribution to plague the inventors of tyranny. Aus tria lived to rue thc day that Hungary was wounded and insulted. ,The North will yet regret, in direst woe, all the gall and bitterness she has heaped upon the South. From the Atlanta Constitution. The wholesale Ku-Klux arrests in North Carolina and the quick illegal conviction1? ure the specimen work of the Radical Presidential campaign in the South. North Carolina first. South Carolina next. Per haps Georgia the next. Arrests without warrant, imprisonment without bail, trials without law, condem nations without evidence, and punishment without justice, are the terrible schedules [mt upon innocent men by thc loyal. Juries selected for their political bias. ind picked by the court officers io convict, ire so sacred that even a legal challenge is *efused by the Judge who sits only to sen tence, who assumes thc role of li:'- prose uitor, and who degrades the ermine for party. Yet this Radical party that commits this sort of infamy, has its friends South. Shame upon it and them. Even theJS'ew York Sun makes this re monstrance against such outrage. " With violent partisans as prosecuting officers, a packed jury, and a hostile court against them, "it is no wonder that these naen were convicted by dozens. They may .ill have received only their just deserts in the end; but no one can pretend that the manner of their conviction was anything but a mockery of justice and an outrage on judicial propriety." From the Columbia Phoenix. The Greenville passenger train was stopped, while on its way to this city, yes terday, bv a detachment of United States soldiers in search of so-called Ku-Klux. The officers passed through the train and inspected the occupants, but made no ar rests. This detention occurred ne ir Frost's Mill, in Richland County, about six miles from Columbia. The military, wc sup pose, have full authority in such cases. What will be their next move? From the Yorkvilic Enquirer. The wholesale arrests made by the mili tary in this county have had a very de pressing influence on business and indus trial pursuits generally, and we presume such will be the case throughout the cu tire section of the State embraced in the proclamation of thc President. Crops re main in the fields unharvested, and on account of the general feeling ol' insecurity, business is nearly at a stand-stiil, while a large number of persons have left the county, rather than incur"the unpleas ant and uncertain con* qu< iv es of um st. The future of our sflfciion. we ure free tu confess, is now more gloom}' than it bas been at any time since the close o; the ivar. We learn, from what wc deem a reliable source, that near forty persons in this c?untv have made confessions to the au thorities here of their connection with the "ku-klux." Th? reported collision between a party of citizens and the United States soldiers at a place known as Pea-Ridge near the line dividing York .and Union counties, is entirely unfounded. $0 .difficulty of any kind has occurred since thc irnji+ary com menced making arrests. On Thursday last, the military authori ties at this place commenced making ar rest?. Several citizens of the town were arrested while in the pursuit of their avo cations, and many persons from the coun try, wlnle in town on business, were also detained and lodged in prison. About the same- hour that tho arrests commenced in town, tho military begun to move, squadrons of cavalry marcliing out in various directions, for the purpose of arresting those in the country against whom accusations have been made, for vio lations of thc "Ku-Klux" and "Enforce ment" Acts of Congress. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, squads of soldiers were returning at all hours, having in their custody citizens of the county, em bracing Olen in all stations, and occasion ally amongst the number would be found a negro, of which class live arc now under arrest. The fotal number now in the jail at this place is 79, of whom two are negroes; and confined in the guard-house at the military camp are also three ucg-oes-Thad Archer and Reuben Goins, of the town, and Sam uel Simril, of *b'i cou'ity. It may be ; jper here to state that very few arrests have been made after night, the larger number having been rfladc in the day time, and, so far as we have been abie to learn, no show of resistance to au iliority has been made. As may well be Huppo?ed, the jail is very much crowded, in consequence of which the prison accom modations are being increased, by fitting the second story of the building for thut purpose. There is no disposition on the part of the officials in charge to treat the prisoners^ with undue harshnc.^, and wo have boon requested by some of the pris oners to sav that their treatment has been as kind and us mild ad thev could exocet. /psj}r Macdonald says of ono who puf fernd; "Patience had mossed her over, and made ber wann, ?oft and sweet."

This report, the Un ion says : " After reciting argumentatively the advantages to the colored people in point of labor, commerce, politically, ?LC, the report closes by inviting the attention of tho colored people in' the Northern States to those advantages, and asking them to la ing their intelligence and experience here and to ;issist in building up a great and prosperous country." Bah'! Tiic idea of thc "intelligence and experience" of the Yankee negro bein-, desired to assist in thc Southam " build ing up a great and prosperous country/' When and where has a "great and pros perous country " ever resulted from ne gro intelligence or experience? Leave tho negro to himself-where lie will be separated from the influence, intelligence and experience ol the/white race, and he is as certain to retrograde into savage | barbarism as the Yankee carpet-bagger and Southern scallawag is- inclined to lie and steal (and will do it) every time an opportunity is presented. In case thc invaders nuryniove into our community, we simply advise our cit! zens to stand firm, and' submit to the op pression with becoming dignity and un wavering spirit, and keep alive the thought that the present state of attain cannot last always, and that a day ol'] reckoning is not' far distant.-Fairfield Herald. Yea, a day of reckoning is surely cow ing, and the miserable thieves and scoun drels, who, with lies in their every breath, are reporting innocent men and having them incarcerated in dirty dungeons, merely to gratify the hellish hate of their accursed natures, will please bear in mind that thc present stale of affairs will not last always,-and that a day is com ing when thal retribution, which they so richly merit, will bc visited upon them, and with interest. Within, the past week it has been no ticeable in all quarters that the negro Cle ment has suddenly become defiant and regardless of all law and order, not only making threats but carrying out their devilish purposes of murder and at tempts 'hereat. This state of things may bo traced to thc miserable white crea tures, too contemptible for respect, who ??ave been instilling all manner of vague ideas and schemes into their heads, with a view of bringing about a similar stato >f affairs ns now exists in portions ol'down trodden South Carolina.

Many there are here.who know what it is to bo homeless and penniless-to bo plunged, in a moment, into the waters of want and humiliation. But this is past. For this there may have been many in Chicago who were responsible. But not so was it with many others. But let this pass " Vengeance is mine-I will repay-saith thc Lord." Let us now recognize the claims of religion unj the ties of a com mon humanity, and those who i-ap, ]et them stretch forth thc hand of.help to the afflicted people of Chicago and the j Northwest.

It will be issued in Amer ica simultaneously with its publication in London, and in uniform style with "Bessy Rane," " Roland Yorke," "The Channlngs," and all the previous works by this favorite and popular author. ""Dene Hollow," while containing the aharactpristjc features of its author's style, may be considered equal jf not superior to anything previously written by Mrs. Wood. This lady has a marvellous fac ulty of cliarming her readers, with the skill with which*she puts her characters an the stage, of multiplying her plots, of sustaining her dialogues, and of intensi fying all her minor incidents ; and as the woi-k itself presents all those character istics of the author which have establish ed her reputation among the first writers, there is but littlo doubt of its success with our novel-loving community.

On Wednesday the wedding tookplnCe( thi young bride hoing droned in A calipo gown, the only dress faved. A Scene at the Chicago Fire. One young lady was dressed very ele gantly-the first dress she had snatched up when leaving her home forever. No diamonds or other jewelry adorned her person, but I have a suspicion'that, she had saved her jewelry.. There she sat on a dry goods, box, a picture 1 of despair. They told me her brother had been burned Co death. It seems he was a lawyer, hav ing been admitted to the bar only two years since, and the two .being orphans lived together. He had been very suc cessful in his practice and had - purchased' i beautiful home, and they were living' very happily when this fell blow came to irush her tb the ground. He, like many Jthers, had returned to save something, md, as supposed, perished before he could ?scape. This was the story in' brief, and ;he desolate girl, in a supid languor, utterly jrushed by her double loss, was indeed a picture sad to look upon. Even as I look id, her brother, who had escaped, and had Deen vainly searching for his sister, ap peared upon the scene. As he emerged in allview of the group, he., gave a joyful :ry, sprang forward and clasped her to his' ?eart. She simply looked up, not at all lurprised, and said, " Please don't hurt me. I didn'tdo it. ill the houses were burned, and our louse was one of the last. Don't take me iway, please don't." " \Vhy, darling, it is I-your brother lames. Don't you know mel" said, the igonized brother. " No ; James is dead. . Oh 1 dead, dead, [ead, dead ! He went back after some pa iera, and he is burned. like.. his. ' papera.
