EDITOinS :-The writer 'bas not claimed any place in your coluluns for the space of a lustrum, to use An Anglicised hatin term, ad -s.bnits the following notes +of travel to your good pleasure to accept or reject as soentoth good onto you. The starting point was a plantation or homestead on Sa. luda, the temporary homo of the Witer. The party was composed -of six persons, five of the gentler 'lot from the ages of seven to thir ty-five, and the writer who acted us escort. The modo of convey ance for the first thirty miles of the journey was novel but judi cious, considering the state of the roads. It was an army wagon, a Vrolic of the Confederacy, drawn by four stout mules, and with a mat trass on the bottom, and with blankets and shawls overlaid, it -wateven a luxurious equipage, and 4ne which, at the same time, was proof against bad roads and a pro tection from the mud caused by the recent rains. The morning as_ not promising, but a very oal1y start gavO us ho of' reach ing the end of our Gret stage, the Pine House, 6 miles from Edge field, on the Charlotte and Augus ta Rail Road. The last ten miles of the journey was the worst, as rain set in just as we were leaving Allen's, where we stopped to lunch and refresh ot'rselves with coffee. Then the blankets, shawls and umbrellas did good service, and though the roads were heavy and ou r progress slow, from two o'clock till five wo escaped a wetting, and the ladies kept in good spirits. It scemed like emerging into a differ ent region when we struck the Ridge road with its clear white sand, along which we traveled on ly a mile tilt we reached Minms Depot, where we dlecided to stop and tko the cars, and as the 1la dies wished to visit the fatnily of f.he gecntlemnan from whom the De~pat takes its name, it was de cided to be more agreeable to stop thore than to go on in the rain to the Pine House, seven miles fur ther, to which point our baggago had been sent before us. Our vis it to the family at the Depot was a pleaant ep)isode, owing to their kcind hospitality, the comfo,rt of fire and other pleasant surround ings. Tihie lady of' the house in sp)ired rocp yet from our knowledge of her christian virtues and the unall'eted kindlness of her greet. ing, whilst tho welcome she gave us was chvigt eary travel los The young ladies of the family-, the five daughters, from the ages of seven to twenty, wo'ro very interesting and so unlaffect edly good. They spar'ed no pians to entertain us but without any effor-t or dlisplay, and they seemed so united an d hiarmonious as a im itly. The gentleman of the house is a man of' ver'y fowv words andl professions, but not the less truly hospitable and not the less a Chris tian gentleman as well as cnter prisiing far'mor. I noticed as we p)assed the barn yards the evidences of or'der' and thrift, andl some fine specimons of' cattle, and amongst them some of the Br'ahmin. We regr'etted that we should have to pass over tihe road at night on ouri fir.st trip on it, as we had been told that the scenery on part of it is wior'th seeing. Our baggage had not been placed on the plat form on account of our non ar''i. val at the Pine house, and as there was not time allowed to got it from the (dpot, as the ear's, like time and tide, wvait for no man, we had to pass on to Augusta without it, but to our agreeable surprise we found it the next mlorniniig in Augusta, having been sent oti by 'an accommodation traini whiich passed about twvc hours after we did. The rain, was pouring when we tookc the tumaini and continued to pour until af'ter wyo reached Augusta. The ears pass through tile city at a slow~ speed and the writer stop)ped onl to the str'eet near the Augusta ]Iotel where lie designed to stop, whilst the ladies with another Os. cor't passed on to the Depot fromt whene they repaired to the house of' a :ivy fr'iend(nand relative J found nice, well furnished rooms at the Augusta Hotel and very obliging officials. The fare at the table was good, and the wait ors very prompt indeed. I had only one fault to find. The table cloth at the table where I sat did' not look Inviting. I t h a d rather too motley an appearance or in other words did not look snowy white, had too many spots upon it an'1 needed a visit to the laundry to erase tho coffee stains and grease spots. I did not, how ever, notice this fault in the same degree at the other tables as I passed them. In other respects I liked the House very much,though, as our party were to remain a few days in Augusta, I went to a very nice boarding house, Mrs, Mahar ra's, where the fare was most c, collent and the rates some lower. This is a very nice boarding house, and is situated over the National Bank, which, by the bye, is a very handsome building with a brown stone front. I think it is the handsomest front on Broad Street. I visited the store of W. H. Tutt & Land 'sovc'al times. It is the handsomest store in Augusta, and its internal arrangements will compare very favorably with any drug store in the oity, so far as I have seen. The presreiption desk is a perfect model, a gem in its way. Its arrangement seems per fect, and as it is finished or orna mented with stained glass of a rich color and tasteful designs, Mid is always lighted, even during the (lay the effect is very good. The d(sk is semi-circular in form. The other arrangements of the store are very tasteful and the only fault is that the ceiling of the front part of the store is too low, it not being a modern built house as to the front part. The floor is tessellated or checkered with white and red tiles. 11. II. Land, the working partner, is untiring in energy. A ";sia appeared more attrae tive to the writer than ever before, for he was never there before ex cept when the street were unfath omable with mud, or hot and dus ty, but the municipal anuthorities of Augusta have done wonder, and now the streets and crossings are never muddy in winter nor dusty in summer. The crossings are nu mncrous and constructed of substan tial timber work, beneath which are the sewers and drainage of the streets, if I am not mistaken. (To be Conlinued.) The Radical Conspiracy to Revolutionize the Form of Government. COMMENCEMENT OF THJE ATTACK ON TilE NOlt'llIERN sTrATEs--sENATOR MORToN'S nILL TO ENFORCE TH'IE Furr-'EENTII AMENnIMENT-ITs EF FEcT ON TIlE sTATES-CONsERVA T.IV E REP'UBJLICA Ns P'RoTESTI NG( AND) Y.IELDINo. The revolution which has been steadily "progressing" for the last mnn years, must very shortly recach a deccisivo point. The debhate on the Mississippi bill has dlevel 01)e( officially the next move of the extreme wing of theo- Radical faction. Your read(ers have long since become convincedl that, after disposing of the Southern Stateq, the next stop would be to "con quer" the Northern and Western andl the public has been fully post od as to the 'subterfuge which woeld be invoked to rob the States of all impmlortant local legislation. Mr. Ifoward, the other day, for mally annouineed the program me. The clause in the constitution "re quiring the general government to guarantee to every State a Re publican form of government" is insisted upon as conferring the powver upon Congress "to inter pret its meaning, andl to be the sole judge of what constitutes Re publican govern ment." One wvoufd naturally have supposed tha,t this monstrous doctrine could not have been made more abominable-but it was resorved for 1iMr. Morton,. of Indiana, to add' that "Rbpnblican ism," as construed by Congress, noodl not necessarily be the same ini the different States; that is to saiy, that what Congress might doom a IRepublican State govern mont in Mansanehlim, it h.d the powor to say was not a Republi can Stato government in Mary land. In a word, that though your State constitution and that of the hot bed of Yankoe contri vances wore precisely alike, the one might, and the other might not, be "Republican in form." - I have 9steemed it a duty thus early to warn your readors of what is already decided upon. as to Ma ryland, in order that, being fore. warn(d, they may be forearmed. You will be required to place your public scboo s stem upon the foot ing of that in this District. You will not be por mittod, in the mean time, to adopt an educntional qual ification like that of Massachusetts -the two States, it is contended, stand in very different relations to the almighty negro. In the land of wooden nutmegs, there are but few (no negro of any self-respect would live there) to be affected by such a disqualification, while in Maryland the race, destitute of thd rudiments of education, are numerous enough to promiso Rad ical triumphs. Nor will you be allowed to demand that the rin payment of even a poll tax, levied alike dpon black'and whitn, shall operate as a disqualfflcation on the part of the delinquent. All such tax9s will,bo required to Io "col lected" preliminarily, under pen alties upon State offeers, and the "refusal of judtges" of elections to receive votes offered by such as do not pay the general tax will be punished by fines and imprison. ment. The bill introduced by Mr. Morton "to enforce the fifteenth amendment" is but a commence ment of legislation looking to the humiliation of Maryland, Kentuc ky and dlaware. It provides that all citizens of the United States, without distinction of race, color or previous condition of ser vitude, who are otherwise quali fid by law to vote, shall be enti tled to vote at all elections for President and members of Con gress, and at all State, county, township and municipal elections held under the authority of the United States, or of any State. In cases where the assessment or pay ment of any tax is a qualification of an elector, the refusal or willful neglect to assess or collect such tax is made punishable by a fine of not less than five hundred dol lars, and imprisonmont for one month, and forfeiture of five hun dred dollars additional for each of. fence. Judges of election who shall refuse to receive the v'otes of such persons are to be punished to the same extent. Thei Circuit and D)istrict Courts of the JUmted States are given jurisdiction over all proceedings uander' the above provisions. I know it has been thought, and that it is still hoped, by many of our friends in Congress, that the extraordinary steps threaten ed, if persisted in, must finally lpro du1ce serious (divisions among laadi cal Senators and mecmbers. I have indulged these hopes, andl express 0(1 them several times lately. But wvhat is to be0 expc('tedl from men who merely make a showv of oppo sition to exstn oppression andl pr'ofligacy, for the purpose of en hancing thecir price Y Look at Dlawes? lie has been "gratified." ,Mr. Car-pentor made a bravo speech against the dloctrino of IIowardl and Morton. Hie stigma tizedl it as "enough to make Web ster turn in his gr-aveo; that it wvas a fallacy whose danger could not be over-estimated." Yet observe how the wary politician p)rovidos, in adv-ance, for a safe retreat, Hoe r-emarkod, in ('conclusion') that 'tho regret.ted to differ with his Republican colleagues and whli lo he wvould go reluctantly where the party str-ength carried him, he would implore his Republican colleaignoseotrto insist upon con ditiod.w h.iholhvouldI never s tind the test of the constitutidn." To render' t<ho above remarks more intelligible, I shall take the liberty of quoting a- short par-a graph from.n the' speech of Mr'; Morton-on M'onday last, in r sponse to the eloquent "appeal" of Mr. Carpenter : "Mr. Mor-ton believed the party stood squarely upon the dloctrine that the power to bui up im plied the power to preserve. Ho denied the assumption upon which arguments on the subject were generally based ; that in securing i a Rtopublican form of government in the States it was essential that the means should be uniform in every case. Congress was to be the judge, not only; of the I means, but of their method of ap plication. In a State whore the people could not read or writo, w hat better guarantee of a Republi- I can government than tho general t education of the people?. Significant enough I -Washing ton C'or.

Mr. Corbin, on Saturday, intro ducod the f3llowing "Bill to define the Criminal Jurisdiction of Trial Justices," of which hq had previ ously given notice: It provides that Trial Justices shall have jurisdiction of all offon ces which may be subject to the penalties of either fine or forfeit ure, not exceeding one hundred dollars, or imprisonment in the Jail or House of Correction not exceeding thirty days, and may impose any sentence within those limits, singly or in the alterna tivo.

A N ExctrIO SCE IN NEW YORK. A duel wit.h broadswords occur red in New York City, at an ear ly hour Monday morning, betweon enor Francisco de P.1orto, a young Uu ban, anid Ai r.

A n accont contains the followinIg descrip).iti ef~ tho fight: A IE.\) sil.ENcE ensued, whlile an ashIy paleness seemedl to be the prIevalont comn p)lexion of every one in the room. iTe word was given and (lie dluel ists crossed swordls, and, having taken tIhreo pacees back wardis, the right commenic'd. At lirsta slight Limidity was apparecnt on both sides-not so imucih timidlity', per haps, as thme nervous expectationi inlcidenit to the opening of the afCnor. Finally after some little hesitation, l)e Porto advan aocd, Prouide meanwhile on the alert to receive him. The scone was 3xcitiung. All at once the few spectator's were startled by a stud len cut made by Proudo at the head of his oppoinenlt, whio, hion - avor, deftly parried, and1( retired a paeo or two. Up to the present both. had observed a compar'ativo sevene doca< , buit it wasocv dent the duel couh[ not be a pro longed onto, each being bent on Joad ly st rife. .Iav:ing again crossed, great skill was d isplayed by both, their eyes nsaintg with li.e -a endeavoriig, as it Were, to pene. trato each other's intent. AD.MIR ABLE 8WOitjsM.NjfjLgjPj was displayed, the cuts being rap id, well directed and parried with procision. Up to tho present, which was abont five minutes from the commoncomont., 1)o Porto had escaped with a slight scratch on the chlest, Proudo being un harmed, when suddenly Do Porto offering a temptingclhance, Proudo advanced on him, and infiicted at diagonal cut upon the right thigh. I t was a fatal move for .Proude, for no sooner had ho loaned for ward to mako the cut, than, with lightning-like rapidity, )o Porto following up tho contrajilto, gashed his opponent on the right shoul der, Ciaui1g at wound tomle live inches in length, and about one and i hal'f inches in depth. His sword arm was disabled. TiH E nct:l. WAS ovvil. Proude dropped his bladle, ex cliniling, ''Enough for to-day ; you will give me my revenge anot.her time," to which I) Porto repliea "I am always at your disposi tiOn." Subsequenthy, t he part ics shook hi.nds and the wounds wore ox amined. That inflicted on Do Porto, though m01110 eight inches in length. was scarcely a quarter of an inch in dept.h, while 'roudo's was of a serious character, the blood stroaming from it, inl pro. fusion.
