I a i l d day for any country or, community when drunk2in rowdins nro allowed to set at defiance the constituted authorIties, and to trample under foot all law, order and decency. It is seldom that any.comm)Iunity is compelled to wit ness suelh at distiraceroi scene of liot and la\vlesspess as was exhibited in the strects of lhe own of Newberry on the night of Ttiesday, the 10th of November. -Inthis respect there must be Refoh-n. It isthe ri'ght of all men of all parties to assemble peaceably and discuss any question they may see fit. And they may assemble at any holkr of the night or day so long as they do not disturb lihe peace of the com .munity. But nd set of men have the roltto liarade the streets at any hlourl with cries of retaliaton and onths, and 1iring of guns and pistols so as to disturb the quiet of peaceable and orderly citi zons. The detonstiltion to which I re fer was made by colored people ; mem hers, as I have been giveln to umnlersIand, of-the Union League.

Lut there be- no more .iot, no more drunken thrents. Let there be a refot m in this respect. No man is *orthy to be a o e ciliten of a free coun kry who does not feel the great responsi Whiy ot his p6sition, and that he, indi vidually, is acconntable for the welfare oT his country, and the tranan.ission of its institutions to posterity piure and unis sullied. In my last letter I mentioned Lie great multiplicity of offices and the terrible ex pense to the people connected therewith. There was one I did not mention and to that I now call your attention. The of flee to whieb I now allude is that of Dis trict or County Census Takcr.

The Iron. Elizabeth St. Loger wits the 01113 female whllo w9s over initiated into tle mystery ofFroc masonry. She has 1111ad two de grees-tho firildt a socond-con ferred on her. As it may be in terestinfg to th.le general reader, wo give the story as to howv Miss Leger obtained this honor, pre mllising that the information comes fron1 the best of sourcOs.
