A correspondent writing from Men under a recent date, says : When I last wrote io you it wa general belief here that we had Beet worst of the terrible scourge which fe last month had made our city a city oft The light frost which cam?? at last se to have some effect in lasseuiug the ber of persons attacked by tha lovel the relief was onlv temporary, and a immediately the d?Uh rate ran up to an enormous figure. It is now ass -perhaps not on the mont certain gre -that within tho eleven past weeks parsons have died of the disorder, the average number of deaths foi whole time been what it has been lb past week-nearly forty a day-we si have to record about 3,00'J burials ii than two months, a number unparu! in any visitation of tho yellow fev< this country. It is in vain that on< ictapts to portray the lamentable c tion of the,city, where all business that of the undertaker is perfectly naut ; where the poor are thrown o employment and have nothing to i about but their present misery and vast probability of their dying in and deserted by their friends. They i together and talk only of the scoi .which even more th?.n other? they reason to dread. Notwithstanding al endeavors which are put forth to aile' sulfuring, physical and moial, it is in: sible to do so with anything like thoro ness. Men and women make heroes martyrs of themselves, but cannot do i than slightly oppose the rushing eui of disease and death which sweeps 1 ?nd those they would help together the gulf of death. Two noble women, young and bei fui, named Mattie Stevenson and J WiLkinson, are now lying desperate!] of tiie fever at the Walthall #ntim" the victims of their own disinterested . and philanthropy. The funner, a na of Illinois, was visiting some friend: Bloomington whou intelligence that M phis was ia distress reached her. Sa; nothing of what she intended to do, immediately set out for this city, ? reaching it, offered her services to President of the Howanl Associ?t She was but nineteen or twenty yeal age, and inexperienced in such dutie she would .have to undertake should oilerbe accepted. At first the Presid was inclined not to accept her servi but she insisted and was sent to the L nor House to await orders. That nigh Scotch woman, ill of the fever, was de ered of a child, and there, was no nur? hand. Dr. Blackburn sent to the Leh House for one, and Miss Stevenson vol teared. She nursed thc poor patients t Uerly until they died,, and then went the aid of others, nursing an old man a woman in Main street who had that v morning taken four orphan children un their protection, two of whom were t sow ill. Afterwards she was sent tc house in Sullivan street to take chargt five patients. The severe labor she i derwent told upon her system, and Monday last ibo herself wu stricken du ?nd taken to the infirmary, where i now lies in a critical condition. M Wilkinson, an orphan of about the sa age as Miss Stevenson, also offered 1 services to the Howards, was accept worked heroically, and now lies tendei cared for under the same roof as the ott lady. She is now thought to be out danger. Other women have perform and are performing similar duties, a living up to theJiighest of woman's rich a glory and ornament of their ?ex. Mei phis will never forget them. Thc friends of thc dead are sometim oblig.d to dig graves for them in the cei ctery, so great is the demand for grav now. Sad as these scenes ure-as when father in mute anguish, pr?paies the ton for a beloved daughter or son, or the ht band places in tho cold esrth the body her wno was dearer to him than his oi life-they sometimes arc accompanied wi ludicrous circumstances, if death ever a be thus accompanied. A few days ago young man died who numbered arno; his friends many of the " boon compa ions" and roystersrs of the city. Sevei of these determined to take the body the cemetery, and see it properly can for. They were at the time soraewb; under the influence ot liquor. The coff of their friend was takon from the he? r and laid beside several others, so that tl hearse might immediately return to ti city for more dead bodies. When tl grave\was dug the young men, who ha used whisky freely, coula not tell whic was the coffin they wished to lay in i To settle the question they drew lots, an the corpso upon which the lot fell was ir earthed, though not one of ?he mourner ?mid positively say whether or not the had interred their friend. The most horrible and disgusting levit is sometimes to be witnessed. Night be fore last I entered a little house not fa from Happy Hollow whore, while a corps wa- lying stark and still' on a wretche< settee, men and women were sitting round keenoing and drinking, andoneyoung mai sat hopelessly drunk with his head rest fug on the leg of the dead body. Other were resting about and looked at me witl vacant and stupid ferocity as I entered U see that the body should be removed. Bu these are sights which are simply sad ant di sgt sting. A friend of miuc was to- da) on his rounds in search of persons dowi with thc disease, and, knocking at th< door of the house No. 63 Jefferson street was answered by a boy who told him then was A shoemaker named Armstrong uj. ?taira sick, and perhaps dead. The visitoi shook the door of tho man's room, but re ceiving no response, ho burst it open, and then-, lying on his face on the floor, tc which it had tumbled from the bed, was the hideous, ghastly, and bloated form ol Armstrong, who had evidently died seve ral days before, alone and uncared for. He bad contracted the fever while nurs ing tis partner, who was carried to the cemetery tl?? week before. . v The pofice hate had hard work of it, and have well dof?9 their duty. They have been called upon to &? % j sorts of work ' to tak.? charge of orphan, to bury the dead, looic alter the nick, se?, Jo thievw aud robbers (bv thB way, a cb*?rh ha' been robbed of .some of its most iiapor *lanfc ecclesiastical /urniture), and in short, : to work like slaves.

Mr. Crittenden spoke ai teugth in explaining the tabular and other state tnents contained in tho Governor's n.ds sage. He believed the message to bo ont of tho most aide and valuable documents it required the greatest amount of laboi and research ; he had studied it closely, and his verdict was that it was historical ly valuablo The three most Important points contained in it were, first, that the assertion dearly made is that a large portion of the debt of the.State is illegal and unwarranted ; second, that,thc debt was larger than thc State is ablo to pay in full, and third, that the Legislature hayja a right to scale the debt, and say to the ^.ediiwvs ; " We will pay you what we uro able ;to pay'," Greene, pf ^eaiUbxi, tjpoke last, and remarkably -w.all. He sajd, ?}?r him self, he was in favor of ^qr^rnio^ jfl once sine die ; for he did not believe that; any adjustment of the debt could be made.

He believed that to he precisely what the' jobbers were after, and he would advise the members to (lee from temptation go home, oven if they had to walk, and remain until the regular session,, soon after which there would be tnonoy in the treasury received from taxes. On Friday, the 24th, both houses of tho Legislature adjourned until seven o'clock Monday night. The resolution authorizing the treasu rer to emit the .^?Of/,000 remaining under the act of 18C\ was revived by Minort, colored, and it was evident that some members had found reason for changing their minds since thc day before yester day. The House resolution to have the $^00,000 in the treasury cancelled met with earnest opposition, and was made the order Tor oho o'clock on Tuesday. It is believed that the scrip will be issued, atid there is a m au i ?est determinaron to insist on a salary grab of ?000 for each member, if it can be done. E. W. M Mackey and C. C.

The Senate bill to provide for the grant ing of certidn charters was recommitted to the judiciary committee, and the fol lowing were referred to the appropriate committees: A bill to make appropria tions for the payment of expenses of the extra session and for other purposes.; a bill to charter thc Piedmont Manufactu ring Company; a bill to charter the Great Northern and Southern Narrow Gauge Railway Company of the State of South Carolina. THE "ADVERTISER." Edgefield, S. C., Oct. 30,1873. The Governor's " Thorough aud Ex haustive Examination." On our suppliaient this week may bc found the Governor's Message in full. It is principally in relation to the public debt of tho State, of which the Governor says he has made " a thorough and ex haustive examination.'' In tho midst o!' many very lengthy statements and much diffuse reasoning, tho Governor says (with true Radical audacity) that it is not at all important " to reflect upon the way the debt has berni contracted, or to estimate what consideration the State rc ceire.d in return. Thc debt exist?, and sound public policy demands that some provision be made at once for its adjust ment" And the Governor's plan for &ac]) ad justment is a scaling of the nomi nal amount of IUP entire debt. We differ fiant th" &as3rrgoing Cover nor's plan for such adjustment js a sea linjr of the nominal amount of tho entire debt. We differ from the easy-going Gover nor in his opinion that it is unimportant to reflect upon M th" way the debt has been co ni rapt cd, d'c.'' On thc contrary, the only rJghc mode nf procedure is to reflect upon this " way'- ycfy deeply, and to sift it, und shake lt, and air li, until it should be discovered which were the good bonds ana which thu fraudulent. And then to pay the'good onesntlherf^ face value, and repudiate the false ones promptly and utterly. The scaling prop osition ls arrant pophistry. Wo have not a whit moro right io eeaje .an honest bond than to repudiate honest bond, AR to tho Governor's specious endeav ors to prove that the increase in tho aver age of taxation between 1SG0 and IS70 is less in South Carolina than in five Demo pratic States, and that the per capita taxation ii} South Carolina is less than in Massachusetts, i?ayr Tfork, Ohio, Mary land, or Kentucky, does h? ihipk that our ppoplo aro absoluto fools ? And does he forget how often such fallacious state ment* have been exposed? - - -..?!?._- r - Thc Twp ?pmlug legislativo Iniqui ties, One 1? the issuo of a large Amount of " Bills Receivable," and the n|h,er is the allowing $M0 each to the mum hers of the Legislature for the present extra ses sion. We wish to exhort the members from Edgefield against espousing either of these measures. What are the bonds, the scrip, the pay ccrtilicaes issued by the ring worth, and what will the bills receivable bo worth ? These bills will be worthless fron the first, and when they have fallen to the last round of the ladder; the i ing will buy th<t?m un. And when we pay our fearful taxes, they Hb? faxes) will go to pay those bills, dollar fav'4fljjfir, when the ring speculators paid e>\\\y Jiue ?cnt < in, the dollar for them. This is exactly the way the peoples' money goes in South Carolina! Sucha measure is powerless to give any relief to-tho people of our State. It cannot decrease, but it wjll add materially to tho weight of the bur dens which they are pow bearing. We warn our menibew flgSfflfit supporting the measure. AH to thc $600 for the present extra session, flu bored, wo believe, by that very bad cirp?t-b??gor, Whittemore, of Darlington, it will bo nothing lews than open and flagrant stealing. Their mile age is all the members can in any hon esty or decency demand for the extia session. ? Set a Rogue to Catch a Rogue."

He is proud without being vain : busy without being selfish; religious without being bigoted; Influential with out being presumptuous, and enthusiast , tie without being dictatorial. And what else ? Well, ho knows exactly how to make cotton, and to keep a Hotel. Jack, however, docs<noi resemble a majority of the Edgefleld men in one particular, to wit: he knows how to build a Railroad. It is very seldom we see a place im proving like Bntedville. The Hotel, the Churches, the Ware-Houses, the Stores, and th* dwellings ?rc constructed and arranged In better style than usual. The cottage built by Caleb Watkins next to tho Hotel in so symmetrical and ornate as tu rive! the gaze of the most indiffer ent observer. DORN'S MILL AND MEETINO STREET. I have heard this part of Edgefleld called New Germany, and rijrht well does this distinction apply to a neighbor hood, were the people love to pay their debts, and take care to keep their Smoke Houses and Corn Cribs al home. The face of the country here differs from the Sand Hills, "as the night the day," and all kinds of grain flourish, ns well as cotton. With Railroad facilities, this portion of ?ur District will become a series of farms resembling tho gardens and villas contiguous to Towns and Cides. [Having lived at Mooting Street two years, I know that those people would form the nucleus of a splendid empire in any quarter of tho Glpbo. We find herc the sanio thii/t and kindness ; the same courtesy and perseverance, that distinguish the German character under all skies, .ind under every combination of circumstances. E. K. P.

Malan Padgett's little son Walter, aged 13, recently picked in one day 3<):t pounds, and in three days 750 pounds. I You are aware that this section of Salu da is not a cotton country.
