T?VWar in Europe
Tho intolligonoo from Europe is of a most
startling oharaotoi^ Throughout, tho armies

with 100,000 of Gen. MCMAHON'S army, are

been deposed, and tho Empress will join her
prisoner-husband. Tho peoplo shout, Vive

much anxiety tho courso of ovcu'ts.
Death of Capt. John Maxwell.
Wo are pained to aunouuee thc death of
Capt. JOHN MAXWELL, at his residence, in
this County, on tho morning of August 23,
1870, in tho seventy-ninth year of his ago.
Mr. MAXWELL was ono of our oldest citi
zens. He had boen a member of the tinco
constitutional conventions, called for various
purposes, in tho State, during tho last forty
years. Ho had also been a member of the
Legislature j and, in all these highly respon
siblo positions, discharged his duty to thc
satisfaction of his constituents.
Mr. MAXWELL was a gentleman of thc old
school, connecting the happy past with the
Overwhelming misfortunes of tho present
honest, ardent, patriotic-idolized by his fam
ily, beloved by his friends, and highly res
pected by his constituents of old Pendleton
District.
County Tax Matters.
Our roador8 will rcoolleot that Gen. BUT
LEII., in his speech at this place, upon tho
authority of thc County Commissioners, charg
ed that tho County Treasurer of Oconeo was
a defaulter to tho sum of about 82,000. This
ohargc was denied on tho spot by a prominent
member of the ltadioal party of this County.
But tho statement mado put tho proper au
thorities on the alert. Mr. TOMLINSON,
i
State Auditor, soon ofter dispntchod Mr.
JOHN MOCORD, a quiet gentlemanly account
ant, to "work up" the real oondition of affairs.
This gentleman, after due investigation, fur
nishes us with tho following statement, which
we have no doubt is substantially correct:
Gross amount State and County
Tax, ....... 822,333.34.
Cr. I
By paid State and
County, . . 814,307.76.
By paid Commis
sions, . . ... 869.06.
Abatements, Seo., . 2,800.01,
Delinquent list, . . 2,113.02. 19,613 75.
Balance Due, ...... 82,689.59.
Of tins amount, thero is duo tho
Stato,.?108.99.
Of this amount, thero is duo tho
County,. 82,280.58.
During the time this investigation was in
j>rogtes8, tho Treasurer paid 8800.00 to tho
County Commissioners, which would reduce
his liability, to thom, to 81,080.58, less com
'. missions^
An order has been drawn on tho Treaauror,
by tho County Commissioners, which ho fail
ed to honor.
This ia a plain, unvarnished statement of
facts. Tbs Radicals, hero and elsewhere,
?an puk U in their pipes, and smoko it to their
hearts' content.
mmwmmimmmmm
Tho Luna Com mission.
Tho radioals lay groat stress on tho bouo
fioiout proT?8?ons made by tho porty for tho
poor negro. Chief among theso is tho Land
Commission. However humano the origiual
designs of tho orcators of this offioo muy havo
boou, certain it is, that its presout manage
ment is a souroo of ruinous expouso to tho
Stato, without any bone?t to tho negro. Its
obaritablo purposes havo boon couvertod to
tho enriching of a fer of the leaders cf thc
ring. Without rogurd to tito provisious of
thc law, lands havo boon purchased at throo
times their market valuo. ls ita kiudncss to
rcquiro him to pay moro for lands, through tho
commission, thau ho can buy it at from tho
citizens? All tho lands owned by tho Stato
in this county havo boon bought by au iuter
mcdiato party from thc original owuor, nt au
average of ono-third tho prico pnid by tho
State to tho party. ?Tho negro must pay for
these lands tho cost pri?e, ned in so doing
must give 81 extra for caoh acre, as a profit
to a radical jobber.
Section 2, bf "Au Ordiuauco to or?ate a
Board of Land Commissioners," gives author
ity to tho Land Commissioner to purchase
real estate at public salo or otherwise, under
regulations provided by law : Provided, That
tho rato at wiiich any purchaso shall be made,
shall not exceed 75 per ocnt. of tho valuo of
tho laud so purchased, &c. What aro the
fuots os to purohases made uuder this law ?
Frofn uti parts of tho Stato wo read.i>f lands
sold to tho'.Commissioner at from two to live
fold their msikot value. Each county has,
within it, the evidence of this heartless spec
ulation ou the State, under tho nominal claim
of charity. Lands in this county havo been
purchased by the State at $6 per aero which
but n few mouths previous were sold at ?l
per. acte. The interest on $6 for three yours
at 7 per cent., is $1.26, and on ?1, for thc
some time, is 21 cents. Buying from thc
State, tho negro at thc cud of three yours,
will have paid 81 20 interest, and will still
owe thc original purchase money, when if he
had bought from the native land owner, bc,
for $1.21, would have had a fcc simple title,
that amount being thc market value per acre,
with interest added. Thc truth is, these
will never bc sold for thc cost price, or if sold,
will never bc paid for. Wc do not object to
tho commission nor its purposes, but to the
manner In which it is conducted, lu violation
of law and good faith.
Again. Section 3, of an amendatory Act,
page 880, Acts of 1870, provides, "That no
purchase shall be made without tho certain
knowledge of tho Commissioner that he will
bc able to soil thc same without delay." Wo
have heard of no sales in this oounty by the
Stato. All tho legislation on tho duties and
powers of this office appears fair and just, nod
if properly executed might benefit many poor
persons without material injury to thc Stolid
Lands purchased nt three fourths their \aluc,
sold promptly to nctuul settlers, on thc con
dition of a fair proportion being put in cul
tivation the first year, thc interest to bo paid
anuuully, and thc title to remain in the State
until the entire prico is paid, could result in
no loss to tho State. That thc Land Commis
sion is not so conducted is chargeable to SCOTT,
NEAOLK, PARKER, CARDOZA and OHAMUKR
LAIN, who constitute the Advisory Board.
As a proof of this, ?co Section 2, of tho Act,
pago 38G, which reads, "The Land Commis
sion shall be subject to thc acti m )f a major
ity of the Board, and any purchase or sale of
property, made without their advice or con
sent, shall not bc valid." From this claim
it is manifest that a majority of this Board
must have known and assented to every pur
chase heretofore made, the gobbling up of
890,000 in one transaction included.

LINCOLN ANO SLAVERY.-Thc negroes of
thc South have been tauglU'" by their new
masters (thc carpet-baggers) to believe that
thc "Martyred President" made thc late war
on the South to cinancipatcMTlcin for their
own good. Wc have, in tho*Tbllowing letter
from Mr. Lincoln, tho proof that this is a
falsehood. It appears in a fae simile of his
letter to Mr. A. II. StephcnsVof Ceprgia, in
thc second volume of thc constitutional histo
ry of thc latter. It is ns follows:
FOR YOUR OWN EYES* ONLY.
Si'itiNOFiELn, III., Deo. 22, 18G0.
Hon. A. IL Step/tens : T*
MY DEAR - tu : Your obliging answer to
my boort note is just received, and for which
jilease accept my thanks. 1 4?uUy appreciate
tho present, peril the country is in, and thc
weight of responsibility oil me. Do the peo
ple of the South really entertain fears that a
Republican administration would, directly or
indirect///, interfere with tho slave, or with
them about thc slaves '( If they do, I wish
tqjissure you, as once a friond, and still, I
hope, not an enemy, that there is no cause
for such fears. Thc South would ho in no
moro danger in this respect than it was in
the days of Washington. I suppose, how?
over, this docs not moot theoaso. Y?m think
slavery is right and ought to bC extended,'
while wc think it is wrong and ought to bc
restricted. That, I suppose, is tho rub. It
certainly is the only substantial difference be
tween us. Yours, very truly,
A. LINCOLN.
Thc next time a carpet-bagger boasts to n
negro that thc Lincon government mado war
lo make him free, he can shut him up In
showing him this letter.
MCMAHON IN DEFEAT-Thc end of thc
battle of Woorth is thus described by a cor
respondent :
In front of those baltullions which had es
caped massacred lind the shaine of surrender
ing cn masse, before those decimated regi
mont s rose McMahon, holding his sword by
the hlado and brandishing it like a club.
Ile wildly spurred a largo black charger, cov
ered with foam, the third he had mounted.
His uniform was torn to rags, his cravat had
been carried away, bis shirt was open, expo
sing his breast. This man was superb. Ile
forced his groat black charger i tito the circle
cd'lire through which had just broken. The
chasseurs came back with loosened rein j they
passed and repussed several times thrungli
thc enemy's Hues, which they overthrew and
sabred.
Thc officer took the big, black chariror by
thc briddb' thc soldiers cried "Vive McMa
hon ! ' and tho Marshal, standing up in Iiis
stirrups, took in at a glance the field of battle,
lit a cigar and organized his admirable retreat.
At 7 o'clock wc were in a capital position,
but McMahon had returned to thc front along
the valley where thc Prussians army, quite
exhausted, was unable to pursue its ina roll.
This man, who from dawn had beim in tho
saddle, and who had been fighting for thirteen
hours, and had soon all his orderlies fall, lit
another cigar, dismounted and passed three
hours in helping thc hospital men Mo attend
to thc wounded.

flicts, which resulted inSficri?US work at Sedai
on Tuesday, when McMahon perched on th
Height* of Vaux, near Gungouri, whither th
Emperor was to como. On that day, 80,00
of McMahon's troops were attacked betwec
Monson and Mouliers. This was tho hatti
of Beaumont. Tho French were driven eve
tho Mouse to Mouson. Tho encounter on th
oilier bank resulted in driving McMahon frot
Vaux. McMahon faced about, on Wodnci
day, between Dousey und Bay.olles, when
severe engagement with tho Prussians turne
thc French right, necessitating their rotin
ment upon Sedan, beforo which the fight wi
again renewed, on Thursday, when tho Frene
retired into tho fortress nt Sedan.

TIIK FiauTiNO AT SAARHHUCK-F||I?\H :
DARI NO -A war correspondent of up Eugi
lish journal gives some remarks of Gen. Von >
Gooben on incidents in tho fight at Siiorbruck.
' Tho thing which struck mo most in tho '
whole fight," said thc General, ''was the de
liberate heroism displayed by thc Saarbruck
women. They entered the lines, bullets and
grape shot flying fast and thick, iu a cort,
dismounted, and carried tho baskets and bot
ties, with which they intended to refresh thc
weary troops, right forward where they
thought they might bo wanted. If a ball or
bullet si ruck the ground or an object close to
them, they started, but immediately after
walked on a if nothing hud happened." So
much to the . ternal credit of these women.
On ono of thc superior officers asking tho
General what effect the French artillery-not
tho mitruilcuscs-had had on thc Germou
troops, thc reply was not quito intelligible in
its first half, but thc following statement is as
authentic as tho description given above:
"During tho Inst half hour.or so, the French,
probably imagining that certain part of thu
ground was occupied by our r?serves, kept up
a furious grape liro upon it, thc shot constmt
ly whistling in tho air, and of course hitting
no one." A third observation is as follows :
''Tho noise, gentlemen, which tho present
rapid way of firing, together with tho mitral
louses, creates, is something deafening, and I
certainlv never in 18GG heard anything Uko'
tc." ' - . ' \ - ;;:
RALEIGH, September 3.-In thc oa.sC of
Turner vs. Holden, and others, Judge Dick
gave, as his opinion, that a warrant could not
be issued ii ga inSt tho Governor for any execs?
ol'authority in thc discharge of thc i'unotions,
of his Executive office. Tho Court hold?
that, a hench wurrant cannot run to thc Coun
ties of AlAmancq und Ca s wei li 'while in a
State of insurrection, against military officers
neting under orders of tho Governor; but
warrants will bo issued for thc arrest of
Colonel Kirk, Bergen and Alexander Ruftin,
to be executed anywhere in thc State, except
in tin.' Counties of Alamanoo and Caswell.'
The ('curt holds that a court of impeachment
is the proper form for abuse of Executive
aulho-rity, and (hot subordinate agents of tho
Governor arc not free from arrest for at y
abuse ol'authority, when puts; do of insurrec
tionary district*. Warrants accordingly were
issued to tho Sherill* of Woko County, com
manding Ililli to take Kirk and Bergen, now
in jail, and Alexander Rullin, wherever to bo
found, except in Alatnancc and Caswelly^and
tho warrant was- made returnable at Greens
boro; Kirk is now in Alainance, and since
this disoission, it is likely lie wRI romain.
