Lotter from New York Correspondence of thc Charlestou News. NKW YOUK, Mny 20. Tho pronunciatnento of Mr. Clement L. Vullundigham, published in nil tho morning pap?is of yesterday, has provoked gonerul oouiinent-not so tuuoh becuuso the mau him self is of consequence, os that his abandon ment of tho position ho hus so long defended maries tho brooking away of almost tho lust vestige of opposition to tho situation ns it is (the amendments, negro suflrago and all) in sido tho Domocratio potty. Mr. Vullandig Uaui has been so long regarded in the North as tho impersonation of what is culled ''Cop ?iorhoadism," that, his chango of front U real ly a sensation in politics, lt tuny bo regard ed OBoertniu now that tho National Domocrat io party will "accept the situation," and in the National Convention will cut loose from tho "dead issr.es of tho past." Tho drift ol Detoooratio sontimont is nearly all in this direction. Thc Southern papers which wore disposed to take issue with tho Eibrthcrn Domootats on their proposed policy, shortly after thc publication of Judge Linton Stophcns's lotter, have gradually dropped their belligerent attitude, und, I bl?CVC, witt, but fow exocptious, have now expressed a willingness to let thc Northern Democrats shape the national convention their own way. Tho action of thc South Carolina Taxpayers' Convention is regarded as another indication pf tho willingness of tho Southern Democrats to tako tho "new departure,'' xnnd it is un derstood that tho Pennsylvania D?mocratie State Convention, which meets itt Harrisburg next Wednesday, will make a bold push and plant tho party squarely on the issues of the prosont. Vuihindighatn's speech shows how rapidly thc revolution has progressed in tho West. Ou this platform it ?3 believed we can win tho next Presidential election. It Hanks tho 'Radicals. It competoly checkmates Morton's tactics; for you will remember that tho bur don of that person's compliant against thc Democrats, in his speech opening tho cam paigu at Indianapolis, was that they intended to unsettle reconstruction, re-enslave the ne ,gro, and consent to tho re-establishment of tho Southern Confederacy. it is of para mount importance that tho Democrats shall obtain possession of the General Government, (which moans possession of tho purse strings and thc sword,) and if success eau bo accom plished by recognizing thc validity of the amcudmcnts, a moment's hesitation would seem to be a blunder. Timo will test tho justness of their application to our system of government. If they are inharmonious ,with it of course they will fall ; and it is .better for thc South that tho Democrats should bo in power, while tho trial is being made, than its enemies. 1 give you this as a sort of resumo of thc opinions of all tho Now Yotdt Democrats with whom [ havo talked. Thc changed tone of tho New York Trib une towards the Southern people is also worthy of note. Thc letters of its correspond ents travelling through South Carolina and Georgia have rather opened tho eyes of its editors to the real condition of things in those States. A remarkable leading article pub lished on Wednesday, admits that the South has just cause of complaint against its Radi cal fillers. Reid this extract if you would learn how far the Tribune has become con verted : "OUT correspondents 'nave now been so long in mu uiMurocci districts ot tho Kout li that wo can form from their letters a distinct idea of the state of .society in that unfortunate part of tho Union. It isa melancholy pic ture that they draw for us. Tho most intel ligent, thc influential, the educated, (he nul ty, useful men of thc South, deprived of all political power, have como to look upon them selves as tho outraged subjects of a despotic oonqueror. Taxed and swindled by a horde oj rascally jocelyn adventurers, and by thc ignorant class which only yesterday hoed thc fielet? and served in thc kitchent they care nothing for politics, except to throw off tho oppressive yoke ; they have no interest in na tional affairs; they would call themselves of either party, provided their rulers were only of the other. Thc refuse of Northern cities, ioho went southward after thc ivar, out-at-el bows, and destitute of character and educa tion^ now voil in splendid carriages, drink rare wines, glitter with diamonds as big as Fisk's, and steal taxes as fast as a New York street commission. It is no wonder that tho impoverished planter, growing poorer every tiny J thc ex Confederate officer, who fought so bravely for a cause in which ho honestly be liivcd ; the professional mon, accustomed all their lives to hold office and lead thc public sentiment of their communities, look on such tilings with rancorous hearts. They might submit to bo ruled by soldiers who had beat on them in battle; bat here they arc plun dered by sutlers and camp followers. This is a miserable state of things, indeed, for a Republican Government-a burlcsquo upon tho suffrage, when thc only restriction upon yoting is that tho votes shall not bc cast for thc 7)iost intelligent and virtuous citizens." Thc writer goes on to say that this "mise rable state of things" has como to pass be cause thc Republican party has refused to follow tho advice of tho Tribune and concedo gonoral amnesty to tho ox-Confederates, Porhops, however, tho real reason of thia ''new departnro" on tho part of tho Tribune is tho secret hostility of 'ts chief to U. S. G. Tho Radical party is substantially a Grant party, and Greeley is not in tho Grant ring. Four years moro of tho present administration is evidently not to his taste. "What will ho do with himself" after Grant is renominated, as ho will bc ? ' It is rather fortunate that nt this juncture Mr. Greeley is making a tour of the South. Ho wns in Now Orleans yesterday, and, ns you havo loarnod before this, ninde a strongly Conservative spcooh. Coming faoo to face with tho best men in thc South, this editor of tho leading Radical paper of tho country will, probably for tho first time in his life, learn tho truth about tho Southern people Though his hrnin is full of crotchets, ho real ly wants io bo fair; ho is warm-hearted, and his sympathies aro easily touched : his vanity is inordinate, and he is easily flattered. It will- bo worth tho whilo of tho Southern pco plo to cultivate him. lits influence is very groat hore, not with politicians, but with tho Jtydionl masses, and ho is ns independent of publio opinion ns n wood-sawyer. If he gets tho idea in his head that you havo been wronged, tho cntiro Radical party will not bo able to hold him. -*-*-*-> I - Fivo young men wcro drowned in Lako Winnebago, near Oskosh, on Tuesdny.

Wc return thanks to thc managers for an invitation to thc "Grand Select Hall," at the Waverley House, Anderson, June 2, 1871. From Washington Thc Senate of the United States, after rali, fying tho treaty of tho Joint High Commis sion by a vote of 50 to 12, has adjourned. Gov.

Free Schools Mr. JIT.T.SON, State Superintendent of Ed Mflfttinn. ?tl"AB I ni? I mootinaa xviii Lo held in euch school district in the Slate, on tho last Thursday in June, instant, for tho purpose of levying a school tax. Districts failing to act will not receive any public money already appropriated. It is desirable that tho levy thoughout tho County should bo uniform ; and, for that purpose, wo would sug. gest that thc tax be one mill. Apologetic Wo acknowledge the receipt of an invita tion to address tho pupils of Mr. GLAZENF.R, nt Walnut Grove, in Dickens county, on the 27th ultimo, and to partake of tho hospitali ty of that neighborhood. Thc lotter of in vitation, though dated tho 10th, did not roach us until thc 27th. Wo could not, therefore, attend nor answer thc kind lotter of our friend, T. W. P., proffering to meet and con voy us to thc place. Wo are, however, none thc loss grateful, and hope all parties enjoyed themselves, nud, that thc school of Mr. Ol.A KBNKtt will continue to prosper, both in the number and proficiency of its pupils. Fire Engine. Tho Fito Engine, purchased by tho corpo ration of Walhalla, from tho Independent Fire Company, of Columbia, was brought up on thc 25th ultimo. On Friday, it was ta ken out, by tho Walhalla F?ro Company, for trial, and performed well Water was thrown over one hundred feet in height-, and consid erably nbovc thc two story building in which the Courier o Hi cc is located. Whether it will prove serviceable in ease of fires, depends upon what water facilities may bo furnished. At present there aro nono, and without some.steps arc taken, either by tho corporation or private citizens, to se cure a supply of water, tho Engine will bo useless. Air Liue Railroad Messrs. G RI SHAM and DOYLK. havo return ed from tho meeting of stock holders of tho Atlanta and Richmond Air Lino Railroad, held nt Charlotte, on tho 24th inst. Our fricuds were received with consideration, and every facility afforded them of bocoming ac quainted with tho affairs of thc company. Thc lino of road from Groonvillo to Gaines ville has not been located, and will not bo until further and more satisfactory surveys havo been made It is understood that Mr. DICKINSON, cc tractor of tho entire linc, has patted with his contract to tho Pennsylvania Central road ono of tho wealthiest corporations in the country. Our friends feel certain that tho interests of th-, lino by Walhalla will receive duo atten tion nt tho hands of tho company, when the limo for location arrives. Mcnntimo, our claims can ho greatly strengthened by additional subscriptions of money and lands. Cumulative Voting Tho Marion Crescent closes un article pre senting an adverse view of cumulativo voting ns follows : * * * * "Tho question now is whether tho people of this Stuto will sus ? tain the action ot' their representatives in tho lute Columbia Convention, and commit them selves for all time to como to this new doc trino of cumulativo voting. "Tho leaders of tho Radical party, by promptly endorsing thc measure, havo fliown u magnanimity and disinterested patriotism to which thoy havo heretofore been strangoi.;; aro pursuing a deep laid sohcino to lull into repose tho excited passion of tho tas payers, and to postpone to a more distant day the ex termination of their powor which this ex citement scorned to threaten in thc near fu turo. "But, however this may bo, it behooves the tux payers and properly holders of this State to weigh well this matter, and consider whether owning ns they d? nearly all tho laud in tho Stuto, and possessing ns they do the capacity within a given mid limited time, by pursuing an intelligent and common sense policy, to control the State lind government, it would bc better to compromise their entire future control for a limited and minor present iullucncc. Wo opine that tho 80,000 negro majority claimed by tho Radi cala will disap pear as soon as wo have a' fair and impartial election law, und WO inclino to thc belief that in this will be found thc secret of thc extreme anxiety of the Radical Miders fur thc adop tion of minority rcprcsojption." Thc question whether thc tax payers of this State will sustain tho uctiou of their delegates in this matter is a very important one, and merits serious consideration. After a thor ough discussion of tho system, the conven tion, with but few dissenting votes, expressed its approval rf thc s?beme, and nppoiutcd a coin mit tee to press upon thc attention of thc Legislature tho passage of such u law, so that it might operate ill thc next general election. According to tho relative strength of thc two parlies in this county, as gathered from tho last election, wc would lose one member, and such would be. thc result in nearly all tho counties, polling Democratic majorities. On the other hand, it is equally sure that in ma ny Radical counties we would gain one ot moro members, and by proper management in thc Slate, we could at once nut fifty members in the lower House, against twenty under the majority principle. But tho Crescent says, it would behoove tho tax-payers to cons'tdoi whether, with a fair prospect of an entire fu ture control, they ure willing to compromise this for a pt osent minor influence Wt would be willing to accept thc system from its intrinsic merits, without regard lo its prom 1 iscs of present or future influence for 01 againet US. It is fair, just and equitable that every department of industry, and cvorj class of citizens should obtain rcpresonttitioi in tho law making body. It is more, foi such a system would promoto general goot feeling, wise laws and universal prosperity Many regulations essential io the do\olop nient of important industrial pursuits an neglected fdr thc want -gf.veotnc one to pre soul tho claims and necessities of such laws Nor do we claim that perfect honesty nm perfect wisdom is the heritage solely of Dem oerals. Wc may, (ind even do orr, and ii many instances the class or rice opprossod b.1 such orrors, if represented, could dispel prcj udico and prevent tho bad consequences All men sec, moro or less, .selfishly in ever day affairs, Much moro is this true of polit ieal parties, and wo aro not willing to ndmi that a minority curb would not bc ndvanta geous to the whole country, even if tho Dem ocracy had that coveted entire control. 1 wc had thc majority iii the Legislature am in thc State, what more could wo desire Wo would enjoy full power to pass wisc- laws and to defeat unwise laws. Arc wo unwtl ling to learn? or aro we all wiso and just ii in every particular ? or do we prefer complet party ascendency to tho public good ? Th minority system applies to no case where bu ono person is to bo chosen to office, and wil hence affect official aspirants in counties bu little. Wo have no hesitation in rccommen ding thc system, and entertain no fears o the consequences of its adoption. In addi lion to representation, it places tho minority in a better position to discover, expose am defeat the wrongs of tho ruling majority, am thus cheeks thc evils of bitter party spirit Its immediate effect, will ho to increase nu diifuso our representation, so that at lens one intelligent, honest tax paying mombo can bc eleoted from nearly every county i thc State, who by his presence and faOililic to communicate with tho voters of thc couti ty will provo a terror to any thievish and evi acting colleague. Its permanent and bette result will bo, by opposition lo doubtful mea} ores of legislation, to invite discussion and clear view of the truth. No ooo will deny but many plausible propositions after von ti hi tion are found unwise, impolitic and cor ru pi nor will any ono deny but tho presort vena Legislature has passed several laws worthy i better men. Wo believe tho rystotn is th only, though partial remedy for bitter part sanship ever discovered, and that its adoptio will prove beneficial to both political partie; Augusta and Hartwell Railroad Col. CHILDS, Chief Engineer, has made report of a completo survey of this Road. II is figures, cost of construction . &c., ure 822 291 per milo. dossing his roport, Co CHILDS says : "From this, it appears that an unusual! favorable route cnn bo obtained for a distune of one hundred and twenty livo miles froi Augusta, or to a point near tho norther boundary of Franklin county ; the romninin thirty-three milos ho classed m moderate! heavy ; whilo tho crossing of tho Chattahoi choc Ridge involves "henry cost." "If a moro careful examination ot this po tion of tho road demonstrates that tho Chalti ohoochco ridge cnn only be crossed nt henv cost, I will suggest that an examina tion I mnde of a route from somo point in tho nortl ern pnrt of Flnnklin county to Walhalla, i South Carolina. If this should ho found i bo practicable, a connection with the lilt Ridge Road may bo speoilily established by coi striming tho Walhalla branch first, ion vin the extension of tho nonrcr lino to Clayton i an aff?r consid?ration." Texas? "Wo uro permitted to publish tho following interesting extract from a private lott 'r writ ten fi om Lancaster, Dallas county, Texas, lo a friend near Walhalla, dated March 5th, 1871 : LANOASTEU, DAUiA3 Co., TKX. * * * * You (U'siro mo to give you a sketch of this country, &0. 1st, tho climate is, indeed, mild, compared to yours, in winter, lt is true, wc have nor thern winds, occasionally, that aro very sud den and sometimes very cold, but of shoit duration, seldom freezes tho ground. Wo j havo had but two light freezes this winter, and now thc grass, buds, flowers and leaves aro putting forth, and everything lias tho ap pcarauco of spring, ns much so as your cli mate and country six weeks hence. Tho sea sons, or summer, hero is much longer than yours. As lo water, it is limestone und very good, much bettor than in Eastern Texas. In fact, thc water cast of thc Trinity tributa ries is very bad. 1 was offered a good situa tion in Eastern Texas, on our way here, but did not like tho appearance of tito people. I was fearful my family would not have good health. Thc people hore, however, all look healthy, and wc 'nave, so far, ali been (juito well and very hearty. Thc water luis proved un excellent uprctizcr. Wc all cnn eat enor mous. V ! will soon get plenty of milk and butler; which will, I think, bc much bolter and healthier than so much meat. Tho peo ple herc live almost entirely on meat and bread, and very little attention is paid to growing vegetables, while they could pioduoo almost anything of thc kind. The land is very productive, ami all that is required to live sumptuously is industry. This is, in deed, a poor man's country; good land, pion ty of money. Stock of every hind can he raised without much expense. Horses and cattle by thc hundreds; yes, by tho thousands feed upon thc plains all winter, without much attention. Stock raisers here own three or four hundred cattle andas many horses. Uno of my nearsest neighbors, a widow, keeps about ono hundred brood mares. Imagine thc increase up to thu time they aro old enough for tho market. This U a part of ibo bigger side of tho picture, now let us view thc other side. 1st. Lumber is very scarce, consequently, dwellings arc very inferior and home comforts greatly neglected. Society not very good, and schools and literary advantages inferior, as !? general thing, but these, objections will be overcome by the influence and advanta ges of railroads. Two are now ia course of construction - nuc running west and south,the other east and wost, will cross not far distant from Lancaster. Th'o prospect of these routes havo caused a considerable risc in price of land near thu contemplated routes. Lands have sold here, since L cune, for twenty dol lars per aero. I am informed that wost of this thc best of lands can be bought at from $1.00 to $5.00 per nero. Head and myself speak of going on a prospecting expedition as soon as crops are over. Well, you ask what my prospects are. If I continue, to have good health, I can make inoaey herc at anything outside of my profession, hut if I lind a good (.pening 1 shall give ''pukes end ? ills" next season. As to what vou can do I here at tho tooth and tinker business, judg ing from what a Dentist is doing who came in here since Sallie wrote you, you could soon amass gold enough to buy anything you need ed. Hut do not lot mo oifcouvngo jon to move, or sell your hollie, for you might not like this country as well as I do. ll you entertain an idea of coining West, situated as you are, profession to pay your way, first como and satisfy yourself. New comers suf fer many inconveniences nt lust arriving here. (louses and situations arc to look after, and houses, particularly, scree. Wc arc living in a very common log hut. Old set tiers herc not much better situated. Yon .spoke of Colorado. I do not think (ho climate would suit rheumatism very well. * * Kansas nb better-too cold. While wc have a geni al climate, plenty of money, and I think this portion of Texas healthy. 1 would like, it is true, lo have you come, but bc governed by your own judgment, after what I havo written. A SAD CALA.M ITV.-We find the following in thc Savannah jVt'M's, of thc 25th instant : On thc of last February, Dr. das. Lu gonbeal,a minister and physician, from Caris, embarked in company with u young man, named George Miller, nt NVnocnmnw, S. C., in a small canoe sloop, for Indian River, Fla., having his books and three dogs with him. They c:?me down tho co:;st inside until they passed IOdtSto, when they made their course for Sa polo Sound. Tho party landed off Blackboard Island, and remained four days, when they ?gain set sail, and ran down tho coast until the Ttl? instant, when they tunde for land, which proved to bo Mosquito inlet, Florid?. When nearing the bar a severe gale struck the boat, and tho mast was car ried away and the boat upset. Dr. L clung to tho mast and George Miller to the bottom of the boat. Thc boat was seen to capsize by Capt Ceo. Wallace, and ho and his crew im mediately set to work to rescue tho unfortunates. They succeeded in rescuing George Miller (.'"id saved thc boat to which ho had lied himself) ' and one of thc dogs, who had stuck to lite boat, although washed oil* more litan a dozen times. Alter they had carried thc man and dog ashore, ihey made, for Dr. Lugenbcnl, who was last seen on tho mast, bat on reach ing it they found that ho had been swept oil and drowned.
