X.I B R, . aed = for m in-s. Attentios is directed to the proclama tion in another column, ordering the election, to fill the vacancies in the Board of Gounty Commissioners, to be held on the 8th of August next. By some acci dental or intentional cause, most proba bly the latter, the order first published in thr&ola-bia Union, ind which fixed the election for the 25th of July, was withdrawn, hence there could be no elec .4m; Governor Scott being waited on and interviewod by Mr. Mayes, who was appointed by the citizens of Nesyberry for purpose, has again issued a notice, and. this. time for the 8th of August. Our fellow-citizens will understand then that there will be an election. And fur ther, that tbe nomination made in public meeting, on the 3rd of July, of Mr. J. N. MARTIN and WM. LESTER, still holds good. Need we add a word more, as to the importance of uniting on this nomina tion, and endorsing the action of that meeting heartily? This is no time for division! no time for preferences! and i the gelection made should be supported. Let us have but one ticket. Since writing the above *we have been .4 authorized to state that Mr. W. W. Hou-I seall is not a candidate as previously announced. Notwithstanding the h.mible stories told of bloody Ku Klux, and the stren UnOus eflorts made to convin:e the world of the North, that the Soutf.. is still in rebellion. and utterly dernoralized, and that murder and midnight deeds of darkness are of hourly occurrence, yet the fact must be patent to all unpreju 4 diced minds, and to all who read the solumns of the daily papers, that South Carolina, as compared with the more fortunate States of the North, which are not overrun with foreign ad venturers, thieves and carpet-baggers, exhibits a record which should set at rest the lies which are priated in her nd&t, and scattered over the borderr with villianous zeal. What can equal in atrocity the wife and child murders which the telegraph brings accounts of almtst every day, as occurring in the. moral cities of the North and West? As one instance-what can equal the cruel whipping of the Meara child in Illi nois-the particulars of which are so re volting that we hardly dare repeat them -in which arn unnatural father stripped his boy, only 11 years of age, and so in bumanly beat him, and then placed his naked bodty- en a hot stove, that the poor little sufferer almost immedi ately expired- and his body yet palpita tiwith the -agony which destroyed his innccent life, thrown under the bed on which his mother lay in confinement and who heard his cry for mercy,bu was unable to extend any relief ?. Can .anything more hoI"ribly brutal be con ceived of. thant this? Are the an nals of South Carolhna blackened with the record of such sickening crimes? In the same State of illinois, we read that a beautiful young lady of 17 years of age was cruelly murdered by a farm hand, white seated at her window. In Cincinnati, we hear of the mystet ous murder of two men who occupied a bed toete, an nthe morning were found both dead, one shot near the ear, and the other at the base of the skull. And so might we lengthen out a catalogue of horrors which happen at the North. Every day's column of telegraph fur nishing its quota of brutal murders, the equals of a biich are unknown in the abused and persecuted South. Ini this land abounding in violence, and in which, according to mischievous and perverted communica'ions, every other man is a Ku Klux, we are-when all the circunm.tances are calmly viewed strangely quiet, and comparatively free from crime. We do not deny that crimesf against the laws are committed, but they are infrequent when compared with more favored sections of this best gov ernlment the sun ever shone on, and a majority of themt are the results of the present misrule. It is imposs.iblc, under the circumstances, when there is only a namre of'government,.no justice,and every enceouragement for the ignorant, the thievishr and bad to*break the laws and disturb the peace, to prevout the occur ren-ce of deeds which are wrong, and cal cu.hrted to produce greater evils. But that South Carolina is demoralized in! lhcr natural heart, and still rebellious, is a L ase lie, and only such an one as a rene gade could utter. The following paragraph from a 4.ngthy artic4e in the New York Herald, . .goutherrt t:-oubles, very truly says: 'EF V wonder i..:n that so few exist, and nd irs is the best evidence that the mass of 4se Southere people are law . abid ig.. When a brave and high-spirit .ced people sats.ia so well to, and make the best f, thekr humiliatizg. situation, we have thetstZguarantee of their fu .ture good coact.sd of peace. Let us .be just and mnagnusiious. Let us have some conwideralion ifo the people of our own race aind talood, antd not crush their beneathi the ignor-ant ed seuji-barbarous regroes ai~ ebecarpetngS scum of the North,' !Lo, the 1es Nfegro.

White died, leaving $70, 0 0O to the Uniwersity of Vermont, at J:elrington, upon the expresa condition that no colored stndent should ever re **'. . i'-i r of it.. Eiot and Bloodshed The following account of a riot which occurred at Reevesville in this State, we take from the Courier, and wh<i wE ask is respo.ible for it? Are the Ku Klux guilty Sgain ?t A serious riot occurred at this place on Satu-day nightlast, at about .ten o'clock, between t hr.e and colored, which resulted jn the .*ounding of fonri whites and culored. Among the wound ed whites were J. H. Walters, of North Carolina, (seriousl); E. J. Giiffith, of South Carolina, (serioly); John Alex ander, of North Carolina (slightly); Joe Williams, of North Carolina, (slightly.) The circuinstAnces of the case are as follows: A few weeks ago a South Caro lina negro stole a bag belonging to a North Carolina negro, which resulted in a riot between the colored people of North Carolina and South Caroli a and the stabbing of one of the latter ; after whioh threats were made by the South Garolina negroes to drive every North Oarolina white man and negro from this place, there being a number of each at work here. Saturday night last was ap pointed as the time to carry out their designs. Early on Saturday morning the South Carolina negroes gathered at and around the store of L. Brothers, (white), at this place, and received from him muskets and ammunition previous!y ordered by him for the purpose, after wbich they spent the day in drilling and target sheoting in f ont of his st,re, un til th hour w hen the riot occurr,d. Aftet the tit cmded the South (P.iolina regr(es Irew oUt sentinels bn every road leadiig to -:ul from thi place, and fired on every pers,;N Pass;.ig the streets. They held their positijr, until vtear day light, and at about sunrise discharged their muskets a quarter of a mile from this place, ant) retired, since which time nothng ha' been heard from them. Tht 'iot commerced by %bout fiftv negro's firing on fve whites while W'.'ing, the street, iii front of L. Poo thers' store. During the riot about twenty balls struck the house and ,tnre of Mr. D. C. Whetsel. In c,,nsequence of this state of aiTaire tbe citizens of Reeves% ille, white and colored, met this day, at nine o'clotx A. M.. to consider the matter. On motion of Captain W. C. Griritb, seconded by Captain W. P. App!,:hy, Ir." C. R. Council was called to the Chair. Mr. Council briefly stated the ob. ject of the meeting, and the state of af fairs were briefly discussed by both white and colored, after which a Com inittee of three, consisting of Ca;.t. W. C. Griffith, Captian V. P. Appleby and D. C. Whitsel, were appointed to draw up resolutions. The Committee retired, and after a short absence returned with the follow ing resolution, which was unaniuouly adopted. 1. Resolved. That Capt. V. C. Gritith and Capt. W1. P. Appleby be anpointed a Committee of two to wait on Gov. Scott, as early as practicable and present to him a petition from the cttizenq of Reevesvi'le representing the state ofaffairs at this place, and asking. tht such nieas ures he inmediatelv taken as will ef fectually stop all such conduct in future; or else forbearance might 'cease to be a virtue as we will not endure every thing. At. the request of the below signed col ored men, the following card was wzitten, which after being read t> them was de clared to be to their satisfaction. Newberry S. C. July 13, 1571. We, the undersigned, co:ored citizens of Mollohon, want to be on- more''f:iendly terms with the respectable and int.elligen-t people of t.his County. Andi to gain this end feel that we must quit the party which has given, partly by our votes, such a bad government to South Carolina. -We shall in the future vote only for good men fbr ofe, irrespective of party. We now de clare ourselves free from the slavery in which the politician has held u.s. And will do all in our power to culhivate a friendly spirit with our white fellow citizens. We say again distinctly w.t are done with the South Garolina Republie:n party now and orever. S.AM. COOPER, NATH.iN RICE, STARLING YOUNG. A Paris correspondent says that, de spite the dictum of the iLondon editor who began his article by saying that "the Paris of other times exists no loner," Paris is still the samte brilliant and lively city of other days. Paris is orce miore gay. Upon the Boulevard Montmartre constant but ever-changing throngs of people nightly promenade; the theatres have again opened, and their hge placards stare at the passer-by fromn the kiosques and wails; Jules Jan in writes his usual Monday feuilleto:n in Les Debats, and the "local items" begin to- chronicle the run-overs and runaways in the streets. BAnts SE'r ON FuIe uv Lu;nose.r.-The barn of Wom. S. Howard, Sr., living~ near the Cherokee Ponds. ELetlid, S. C., was set on fire by lightning July 6th, during a severe rain and thunder storm. The fire was discovered in time to saive about a hundred bushels of corn and fif ty bushels unthreshed wheat. A freed man livmng on the place, named Areby Mid leton, deserves much credit for his untiring efforts on the occasion, he and six of his family bringing water until the devouring element was subdued. Only about five bushels of wheat were burned. A serious schism distturbs the happy relations of the Presbyterian Church in Scotland. The question which has pro duced this dissension, and which has arrayed these worthies into adverse. factions, is whether the devil is susce-pti ble of salvathmn. Some strenruously in it th::t he can be save-d, but a large maj' rity denoun'c thiu as heresy, and prolaima these- who htoltd such a doctrine as the salvation of Satan as w~orse than infidels. Thus stands the religious question at present among the Scotch Presbyterians. TuE PSOToGRAPRIC WORLD, an ililustra te-4 monthly, devoted to Photography, and edited by Edward L.

LOCaL NEws-TIe chii'f feature of eckly disnict paper is it.s local column, i bich should be found every irem of nev hich transpires within the bounds of th strict. It Is not expected, or ought not t ,, that a paper of this character should a mpt to compete with the city dailies in ger al news or politics, but rather to make ceptable it should he devoted almost er ely to good, wholesome, miscellaneous an erary reading. and loc:l matters. Such iper meets the want ex-ietly. In the gent I selection to this end there is but little di ulty, further than to decide which to pu the paper and which to leae out, bu en it comes to make a readable and inter ting column of locals it is differcut.

Talks to the Little Folks about Insects. c I NO. 3.-THE FLY. DEu CIaiLDRz,q: We will resume this h evening our talks about insectq, which have been unavoidably, though reluctantly, sus pended for several weeks. There are so many varieties of the Fly,that our limits for. bid ns speaking of them all, so we will con s fine ourselves to the common fly, only allad e ing incidentally to other species. There is perhaps no insect more profusely distributed. - A citizen of every cline, to the manor born, he makes himself perfectly at home every where and with everybody. Because of his excessive familarity he is universally de 1 spised, particularly by men, horses and dogs. Ile forces his company upon you when and where it is not wanteJ; he takes the most unwarranted libertip.s with yonr person, ven t turing to kiss the fairest cheeks and rosiest t lips without the semblance of an introduc Stion or even encouragement. He is always 'the fir't at table, helping himself indiscrimi nately to every dish he fancies without ever waiting for grace, and frequently in his ill mannerly anxiely scalding his mouth most s wofully. And I have positively known him, ' in his eagerness to get the first sip of tea or 1 coffee, to drown himizelf iu the delicious bev. ernge. He is, in a word, ntterly destitute of modesty or good breeding. I hope - of S my little readers are so unfortunak. to 5 possess so bad a trait. But, though regarded , as a nuisance, his company shunned by everybody, aid min 's ingenuity taxed to in ' vent means to keep him at. a respectful di - tance, yet is this insect really useful, and the - great architect - s displayeI infinite skill in I the construeioi of his wonderful frame. le ) has no less than 4,000 eyei, covering minute I oval spaces on the sides of his head, similar II to the network of a lady's veil, each wi.h its t individual cornice, upon which a separate - object is reflected while only one image is - seen-a fact as inexplic.:ble as that of ani- I 1 mnis with only two eyes seeing only one im Sage. The elegaint and gracefully moving e Dragon Fly has eyes to the number of 24, 000, some uof them hiddIen beneath his wings, C so that heC can see objects on every side with out turning his body, this brilliant legion of eyes enabling himt to embrace the whole horizon and discern his prey at an amalzing e distance. Behold him poised on steady wing Sover the bright surface of the lake, his body Sreflecting all the colors of the rainbow, Swatchingta engerly his prey, then see him dart like an arrow to seize it, and you will at once r perceive that as countless as are bis eyes he e puts every one o'f them to the be.at practica t k uses. Uce is not like many people, who, bay in:: only two; do not employ even these ad -vantageous.ly, bet pass through life as thongh fthey ha:d none, no wiser or better at Its close Ithatn they were at its beginning. The foot of h .the fly: is of such exquisite workmanchip, Iand there is such an eilegant adaptation of all Iits complicated parts to the end proposed. that it has been for years the admiration and study of sotne of the greatest minds. The t,most powerful optical iustrumnents, with the d nicest manipulation and the closest scrutiny, have been brought to bear upon this little e instrument alone, and still some of the nmys. s teries of irs mcchani-m rea::in unexplained. -It is a li:tle world of wonder to naturalis'/ d The first joint terminates with two divergent hooks thickly sown with atiff hair, with e which he clings to vertical surfaces asawood d pecker does, though these books are useless . on smnootb surfaces. But to equip hinm for safe and easy locomotion on the vertical and -under surfaces of polished bodies, his maker e has placed just below these claws two tmem d braneous, transyarent fan-shaped flaps or solos, covered on their under surfaces with flexible tubes which, in is almost certnin, 5contain a gluitinous secretion, given out in t walking, enabling the fly to walk fearlessly -and janntily, as wveil on the under and verti cat, as on the upper planes of the most high ly polished bodies, and even oa the perpan dicntar sides of an exhausted glass tube. y The upper joints (tarri) of his feet are cover d ed with stiff hairs at vairious distancesapart. These serve as brushes or combs to cleanse C the palms or soles and keep the tubes free of t, dust or misiture, which impede the flow of a the oi'y secretion. Hence, if you will watch dthe fly in walking, yo'u will observe him stop ping fregnently to rub h is feet together, but 'a sometimes over his bead as a kitten does of a a cloudy morning. His safety and comfort -in walking dependl upon keeping his feet *clean, lHe therefore washes the'm frequent ly. Some of ny little rriends think it a great n hardship no wash their feet every night, and -. unless closely watched by mother, jump into t- b>ed with dirty feet and legs. Don't let my in>ect hero, boys, beat you in cleanliness. Y if Mr. Fly is an immodest and troublesome Sfellow. hce has at least one good trait, which . it would do well ier boys, and girls too, to imitate. s.C UNCLE JOHN. A CARD.

While I feel that I am and have ever been true to the interests and instincts of my race, I am not afraid that my conduct should be scrutinized by the public.
