Edgefield, S. C., Dec. Itt-, 1872. "rom the County Jail io the U. S. Sen ate Chamber* Last week we announced that Mr. J. [, Patterson, therirh Pennsylvavla car >et-bagger of C?lnmbia, liad been elect id to the Senate from South Carolina, eating, in the race; the Ohio carpet-bag jer, Scott, and the Massachusetts carpet agger, Elliott. And tfiath? was.snb icquen fly arrested upon a charge of bri bery, and cast into jail. This week we jublish a detailed account of the whole matter, from the Columbia correspon ience ol' the Charleston Courier. But Mr. Patterson remained in jail on ly a few moments, and goes, thence to the. Senats of the United States, where he will sit among many not one whit better than he is. Mr. Patterson had money enough to pay for his seat, and he wiU have money enough to cover np. his dirty tracks. And his Radical friends will share his good luok, And his Radical enemies, despite their threats, will be pretty apt to let him alone. And the Senate will receive him with open arms. And in a year or two, Sumner or some other senti mental Northern statesman, will make a notion " to expunge the r?cordr" The New Judge of Our Circuit. , As regards the new Judge, wo cannot do better than endorse the following gen erous and sensible words of the Colum bia Carolinian of Saturday last. Oar friend Youmans, is universally admired and esteemed in Edgefield ; and it would have given Edgefield prido and pleasure to welcome him as presiding officer of her Courts. But as Mr. Youmans. is young and eminently progressive, we consider this pleasure only deferred for a few years : The ejection for Judge of the Fifth Circuit came off yesterday and resulted in selection of ex-Judge R. B. Carpen ter. Our first preference was for Mn Youmans. He was put forward by. the bar ; was warmly endorsed by the Cir cuit; isa gentleman'of eminent'legal attainments, of the highest character, and I had attracted our support before Judge Carpenter's name was suggested as a can di dat e. The election has not ended as we desired, but there is nothing to grieve for and no censures to bo made. . Judge Carpenter will be highly accept able to the Circuit. He received the h ighest encomiums, of the Charleston Bar at a Judge two years ago. Of his capac ity uo one can doubt, and he ia known - to be fearless and prompt in the discharge of his official duties. It hns been said by those who have practiced in hiM court that thero is no man except, perhaps, Chief Justice Chase, who can equal him iii tho dispatch of business and' sound extempore judicial opinions. There was no money used in the election. A capa ble officer has been chosen, and there is nothing to carp at, It ls said by some wiseacres, that the election of Judge Carpenter looks to the validation ol the Blue Ridge Revenue Bond Scrip. Wo are unable to see any reasonable apprehension of such a catas trophe. Tho scrip business aa we be lieve, and have frequently declared, was a fraud in its incipiency. Should the Scrip be legalized, thc State would suffer a considerable loss, but the administra tion would also be greatly crippled. Thereon we bose our faith that ft will never be made good. The State Govern ment wllj peyer be readily Inclined to receive Royehpe Bond Scrip for taxes, worth at'pi'ost (Jp or TU cents on the dol lar, when they can got greenbacks or gold instead. }f those in power are paid eqbagb for it. perhaps "they plight be iipjqcfid to favor something of tho kind. Such bas bec?1 tye custom of the coun try for several years past, but we cannot sue how ;t hi practicable in this instance. Lei us Expuuge uo Such Record. Senator Sumner makes a motion in Congress to strike from tho flags aud Army Register of the United States all records of battles fought with fellow citizens. Senator Sumner undoubtedly means well. And the North can afford to do this thing, but the South cannot. The North, with her huge power during tho war, her huge wealth, her huge i armies of foreigners-and with her Re construction Acts since the war, and her Enforcement Acts, aud her Carpot-Bag business-eau afford to expunge the record. She was not and has not been magnanimous, and it were better for her to blot out the record. But the splendid heroism and devotion of tho South in con-tending five years against such fearAil odds, is a tale wo Would wwii to keep alive. Let us keep ii fresh in our hearts and in our archives..; Meeting of the Survivors' Association. Thc Survivors' Association held its annual meeting in Charleston on Wed nesday the 12th inst. Heretofbro these meetings have be-on held in Columbia. On the occasion in question fourteen Districts wore represented-Edgefield not among them, Sh o should have been, though, by all means, Apd so should every other District-especially now that Sumner ls moving to "oxpunge the re cord." ?unl Hampton, tho President, wat not In attendance ; and Geni- Ker shaw, senior vice-President, presided.

The annual address was delivered by GenL J. li.

The fire originated in Nail's store, arid its origin is unknown, but it is supposed to have been the worlc. of an incendiary. The Georgia Homo Insurance Compa ny had about $9,000 insurance on the property destroyed, and the London and Liverpool and Globe about $88,000. R. K. Scott Vindicated. "Picket," the Columbia Corresp'on dent of the Charleston News, in his face tious account of the late ?Senatorial con test, says : Patterson was elected by receiving ninety votes ont of the 124 cast, and it not probable that his election cost him or his friends more than forty thousand dollars. Elliott received thirty-three votes, and four of them wero cast by white men Mr. Poinier received seven votes, and not one of the patriots who voted for.him was promised any higher reward than the coUectorsbij of Charleston. Chief Justice Moses, who was not a candidate received an honest expression of prefer ence irom eight Conservative members Judge Graham's name furnished a con venient compromise for fonr more, and there were foundeight men who thought that the present incumbent, Senator P.

After some little time he was enabled to obtain ball, and was set at liberty to await tho action of the Court. Suddenly and unaccountably, however, he disap peared, and could not bo found.
