It appears that Mr. Hayes hus concluded to try his hand at tho management of local affairs in South Carolina. Tho dispatch may not bo literally true in evory respect, so far os Mr. Hayes is concerned, iflid yot there is sn dicion t evidence that it is tho purposo of tho administration at Washing ton to test ifs powor in this State, lt has boon orrangod to hold a Republican mooting in Surator on Saturday next, under diroot instructions from Washington, which thu notorious Som Loo rcoolvcd during n rccont visit. It wus from tilt? prcoious sooundrol Chat tho Presidout ood Attornoy General obtained tho full details spoken of in tho dispatch, and upon whoso stutcmont their present notion is based. Tho convenient excuso is modo that the llcpubliocns arc not nllowcd to hold Diedings or toko any politioal aotiou, and worst of nil, ?wo of Governor Hampton's aids are foremost in this offert to defeat Republican organiza tions! Now, tho dovico lo order urrcsts of those gcotlomon is not a umv ono. In thc lost campaign, 6Uoh helices as are indicated in tho dispatch wore posted throughout tho tho Stato, and wc bovo yet to learn that they had tho effect of keeping away Demo orals from thc meetings, or prevented Radi cal Speakers from being told they lied, when that was tho ciso. Tho pressure of bayonets and tho swarm of deputy murshuls were not sufficient to throttle the spirit of freedom in 1876, and Mr. Hayes will find it exceeding difficult to accomplish moro in this direction than 'his predecessor. The posse of tho United States Marshal will never preveot tho oppenranco ot "Hod shirts," when such spcakors ns Sum Loo arc lying to tho oolorcd pooplo, nor will tho principio of "dividing thoo" bo surrendered at tho bidding of tho administration at Washington. Tho pooplo of South Carolina oro not disposed to permit Radical hirelings to dupoand deceive tho negroes any longer, oven when thc aforesaid hirelings are "pro tooted" by tho benign administration which inaugurated tho Southon) policy. Tho following io the dispatch referred to: WASHINGTON, October -1.-Tho Presi dent and tho Attorney General havo re ceived full details of thc organized attempt to break up Republican meetings in Sumter County, South Carolina, aud prevent any politioal action by members of that pnrty. Two of Governor Hampton's aids have been prominent in it, one named Earle nnd thc other Horgan. These attacks upon Repub lican meetings have been continued since July, and havo boen made by armed mon several times by State mal ilia in lull uni form, nud with State arms in their hnnds. Tho President is convinced froth reports received that Governor Hampton himself is a party to it, HO far, nt least, us not to care to take any steps to ?top it. The plain object is to break up tho organization of the Republican party in thc Stale and crush it i)Ut eUiruiy. x Tho President has requested tho Attorney General to examine the question and ncc what steps, if any, can bo taken by the United States officers to puuish these offen ders. After consideration it has been decided that section ?',f>20 of the revised statutes will enable ibo Uniicd States Mar shal to make arrests in caso ol* any ftf?thor disturbances, provided tho Republicans, in calling their meetings, will give public notico that they arc for thc purpose of giving support and advocaoy of sonic par ticular person who may bo named for Con gress. Republican meetings wi'l bo nailed next Saturday by a notice in conformity with this construction of the section. Tho Attorney General, by direction of thcPresidcnt, has addressed a letter to Dis trict Attorney Northrop, in South Carolina, instructing him, in connection with thc United Slates Marshal, to seo that any and all persons who attempt to disturb euoh meetings uro arrested and ta,l:en beforo tho United States Commissioner nnd bound over for trial under section 5,520, and to employ a sufficient posso to effect thc arrest. It is tho intention of tho administration to test its power to protect its citizens under this scotion at thc first opportunity which presents itself in Sumter'County, where oil the outrages have been conducted under special direction ?ind with tho most ootivc assistance of two of Hampton's aids, [Correspondence of tho Jaoksouvillo (Ala.)

In your issuoof tho 17th instant, I uotice nn rrtielo, tho first sentence of which asks: "Can a person's hair turn whito within a short time!" Having soon such au instanco, aud one that o ?ni bo authenticated beyond all oovil ,by persons now living, I will givo you and your readers tho circumstances as they ooourrod, whon, where, nnd whom they oro. When (iront sprang tho "mino," or "blow up," os many call it, in front of Petersburg, Va., at twilight on tho morning of tho 80th of July, 18Gd, tho point imme diately over it was oooupicd by n Virginia battery. Tho ditohes on tho right, imme diately next to tho battery, wcro oooupiod by tho Twenty-second South Carolina Voluntoors, Col. Ploming. On tho loft of tho battery tho ditohes woro oooupiod by tho Eighteenth South Ourolino, Oolonol W. H. Wallaco (now Judgo Wallace, of South Carolina) of whioh regiment ? was surgeon. All along our lines our e?ldiors had dug out small bomb proofs, os thoy ealled thom. Theso bomb proofs wcro gonorally about four feet broad, thrco feet high, and soven feet long-largo enough for two or thrco men to crawl into and sleep with comparativo comfort and safety, whioh thoy did when off duty, during that never to-bo iorgotton siogo by cvory man who participated therein. In ono of tho bomb proofs on tho oxtromo right of tho Eighteenth South Carolina Volunteer:!, and just to tho I?ft of tito mino, Lieutenant Willard Hill, Company Ii, ond Sergeant Greer, Company A, Eighteenth South Carolina Voluutocre, having been reiioved from duty an hour boforo, woro sleeping. Tho Brat they roalizod of it was tho shuck, then a deep darkness, and then u consciousness that thc mino had boon sprung, and that they had boca buried, how deep they oould not imagine. Thoir dist impulso was a deep, ?Ddisoribablc de spair-hcartsickcoing, hoart ronding, hopo lesa, that left thom almost powerless for a limo. But what could thoy do? They had notlviug to dig out, with but an /old. baronet t hai S^ffcut CWocr h?,d yb his bel tja nd and there but a canteen of Water in thc cell. But what wus going on about them? Grant had consummated that most diabolical of all tho deeds of a torriblo war. I was within 180 yards of it on my morning visit to my regiment, and it was just at that timo of day-twilight-that oven trees can look Uko ghosts, and that added to thc weird Hoonc of death. Simultaneous with tito deep, doad Bound, and tho quiver of thc earth, thcro oroBC in the air a cloud of dust and smoko aod limbers, men und muskets, and all manner of shapes aud fragments, wcro flying in every direction, and then for a moment n stillness; and it seemed os if every cannon on tho whuio Federal lino was turned looso upon our lines. Shells shrieked through tho air-musket balls and frag ments ot shells fell in every direction, plow ing up the earth and cutting off limbs from tho few troes that thc relentless hand of war had spared. Then carno tho chargo. Negro troops in front with splendidly ca parisoned troopsof tho Federal army bohind, driving them, as it were, to tho front, liko sheep to slaughter, with thc bullio ory of "llcniembor Fort Pillow," aud the few tho very few-that survived no doubt re member tba crater of Grant full os well* High above all tho confusion and smoko and dust and groans of thc wounded, could bo hoard thc battlo cry of tho Federals, and tho words of encouragement of gallant officers-tho few that arc left of tho Eighteenth and Twenty-second South Carolina Volunteers, and thoso bravo Virginions whoso battery " was buried in n common gravo with nourly every soldier who manned it. But tho Confederate lines wero brokon in twain. Federals and negroes hod mode breastworks ?f the huuhlwrs that were blown fop by thc explosion. But they were not to stay there. Soon cnmo-Gcnornl Mahonov with reinforce ments, nnd ofter ono of tho most gallant lights of all thOjgrar, ho carried thc works aud thc crater turned a gruvc for its oaptors. I had heard of pools of blood-it was thcro that 1 sp.w thom. Thc silence reigned, that painful silence which always follows on tho battle-flold after doath has held high carnival. Then came the. 8ad duty of counting up tho cost. My brigade had suffered severely. Tho Twenty-second South Carolina had lost its gallant Colonel Fleming, and many it breve soldier. My regiment had lost one hundred und sixty three men. Two whole companies, A und G, Eighteenth South Carolina, had not a mau left, who was 011 duty, to tell thc tale. Duo hundred aud"' ouc of my mon, including Captains McCor mick and Eirdgis, were dead-buried in tho crater or centered along tho works and sixty-two missing. Among tho missing were Lieutenant Hill and Sergeant Greer. We left them iu their almost living grove; Greer digging with his bayonet, whilo Hill passed back the dirt with nil tho -desperation of despair. They hear not, hoed not tho bullio that is raging abovo them, but toil on. Often hope would spring up in their hearts to give way only to despair. Hill has often told mo how, when he awoke to a conscious 11-jBS of his condition, tho thought flashed through his bruin liko lightning; how ho thought if lie oould only soo one ray of light, or breathe thc fresh air onoo ogain; that if ho could only let his wife know how aud where ho died, that douth would be a relief to him. Almost suffocated for want j of fresh air, they worked on. At lost it seemed to them that something had crushed them; they hud dug through tho loose boulders, and thc light burst upon them. Then both, overcome with the sudden transition from thoir suffocation and despair to light and hopo, fainted. I How long thoy romaiocd thcro they know net. When thoy awoke from their swoon, tho first sound that broke on thoir oars was tho clash of arms, and tho quick rolling roar of tho battlo as it raged around and abovo. Almost in stupor, tryiog to realizo that they oould again soo tho light of heaven ond hour tho voice of a living crcoturo, they lay still until thoy recovered their minds enough to know what was going on. Hill has often told mo that when ho know aud realized that it was a battle, tho pound was tho nwootest musio that hod ovor groctcd his oars. At lost tho ory of viotory roso high abovo everything olso. They knew that somebody had boon vanquished, and that somebody was viotor; who, they knew not. They I emerged from their awful rctroat, weak, worn in body, and with minds ornzod. They know not how long thoy hod boen there; thoy did not oven know thoir old comradoa. Nor could they rcolizo that it was thc samo day that thoy woro buriod. Thoy woro brought back to mo nt tho field hospital, moro dead than alive; for, s tra 11 go as it may scorn, thoy woro tho most sadly changed mon that I over behold. Both wcro (ino looking soldiers boforo; now they woro wonk, with sunken oyos and checks. Lieutenant Hill, whoso hair, twenty-four boura bet?re was black, without a single gray bair in it (ns bo was only thirty years old,) was now almost os white ns snow. Whether it turned from horror at his condition, or tho deathly heat of his subterranean bod, or both, 1 do not pretend to say. I simply give tho facts, not os I heard, but as I saw them, and ho still lives to vorify that this is no romaneo, but ono of my experiences in a war whose first gun I heard fired, and the lost guu of whioh sounded tho requiem of thc lost causo when I was at my post of puty. .

Montgomery Blair hos addressed a letter to tho editor of the Crisis, a Groenbuok organ printed in Philadelphia, in which ho indulges ta 80U10 observations on the political situation. Mr. Bhiir contends that tho present condi tion of thc country is duo to tho foot "that the government has bcou pcrvorlod from its legitimate object of protecting tho people and rondo tho instrument of plundering thom," and says tho workingmen aro oloarly right in specifying as ono of the modes "in which the dominant party hos perverted power to their injury, their fostering of monopolios by whioh so groat a portion of tho earnings of labor havo been dovoured, and especially tho national banking system whioh is justly obnoxious. Mr. Blair says tho most significant result of tho working mcii's movement ia that "it has brought tho Demcewtio Organization te its old-time attitude of open and determined antagonism to the money power, with which too many of our chiefs have hitherto been in secret, alliance," and concludes: "At this moment, therefore, tho Demo cratic and Workingmen's organizations substantially ngrco iu opposing subsidies of money or land, in reducing expenditures, in exposing and detecting fraud, in substi tuting greenbacks for national bank notes, and generally in relieving labor from taxa tion. Tho Doroocratio organization does not accept some other idoas of thc Nationals, but its thorough uoeoptnnco of tho anti monoply orccd places it in cut ire accord with tho nationals in opposing tho money power whioh now holds tho government, to which all tho sufferings of the Workingmen arc confessedly due, during whose conti, uappe. jo^pow.cr on ptpspority whatever can bc expected, end whose overthrow ia thoro fore a ucocssity first, alike to Democrats and Nationals." TWELVE DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.-Tho steamship City of Chester sailed from Liver pool September 24, and arrived ot New York Friday. On her arrival (ho hatches of her orlop deck wore opened for tho first time sinoc they woro put down cloven days ago. Underneath them a mau was found, barely nlivo. Ho had lived without food or wntor during that period, and he must have sn Borod almost as much from want of air as from his fast and thirst. Ile was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where ho is in a very fair way to recover. He said his nnmn was James Donnelly, that he was twenty-three years old, and 6towcd him self away in tho vessel in ordor to get pas sage to th is. co un try. LONDON, October 10.-Thc stock and money markets aro depressed and uneasy in consequence of persistent rumors of further mercantile embarrassments. These rumors, though denied and untraceable, created a gloomy feeling throughout thc Kingdom. Tho rumors affect a Sootoh bank aud a Lancashire bank, as well as various mercantile oonoerns in London and in tho Prov?noos. Tho Stock Exchange was further unsettled by tho unwillingness of investors to deni in bank shares and by tho panie in nod ho,ivy depreciation of gas shares, in consequonoo of statements printed hero concerning lOdison's alleged discoveries in lighting by electricity. REDMOND CAPTURED!-Redmond, tho outlaw, lins boon copturcd, aud ns might have been predicted, a woman did it.

TUE WORTH OP A GOOD NAMB.-Pooplo who aronlwaya crying down thc banks, and who arc tainted with repudiation, should not go to tho banks for loans. Those i na ti tu tiona have good roaBon to bo shy of such applicants for favors. Being forewarned they uro foroartned. Tho Western Grcen baokers and silver men havo not found it easy to get oeconiodatious from tho Eastoru banks whioh they aro so fond of abusing with Koarnoy's expletives. The Governor of Virginia, when trying to raise so small n sum as 8200,000 from the banks of his ofyu Stat/), an.1 for so good an object ns to; pay up tho back Batanes of sohool teuolurs Gods that tho namo of tho Commonwealth is not quito good enough for that amount. It hos pleased Virginia politicians of both parties to trifle with the public faith and orcdit, und to inveut and uso vory glibly a number of pretty names whioh moan repu diation without saying it. To be sure, tho repudiation they aim at would be ot tho sxpooao of oreditors outside tho Stale, rhey do not intond to hurt Virginians very inuoh; and wo dare Bay that when Governor Holiday asks four of tho Virgiuia banks to mako up $200,000 be firmly moans to see thom paid, so fur as he hos power or influ ence. But the banks, though Stato deposi tories, and under somo obligation to strain i point of oredit, will doom it prudent, it is md, to declino. They do not wish to toko the chances of repudiation in a State whcro meh an aot is veiled undor suoh soft, delu sivo names. Virginia, for this reason, nay bo drivon to olose somo of hor sohools. Phis would be a pity. But sho would find i compensation for tho loss if it taught her .his mont useful lesson-that nothing, not ?ven popular education, is so prooious to a Stato as her good natue and fame!

How TO KEEP A SUBSCRIBER.-An | ndignaut farmer rcoently cntorod tho office )f n Now Jersey paper and ordered his jnpor stopped because ho differed from tho jditor in his views regarding tho ndvan - ages of subsoiling fonoo rails. Tho editor if courso, oonocded tho man's right to stop lis paper, but ho remarked, coolly looking JVer his list: "Did you know Jim Sowdors, down at j Hardscrabble?" "Vory well," said tho man. <kWoll", ho stripped his papor last week iconuso I thought a farmer was a blamed bol who didn't know that timothy WOB a ?ood thing to graft on huckleberry bushes, ind ho died iu four hours." "Lord, is that so?" suid thc astonished j ra u ger. "Yes; and you kuow old George Erick lon, down ou Eagle Creak?" "Well, I heard of him." "Well," said tho editor gravely, "ho (topped his papor becauso 1 said he was tho ?appy father of twins and congratulated lim on his suocess so late iu lifo. Ho fell lead within twenty minutes. There oro ots of similar oases; but it don't matter. I'll just cross your name off, though you lon't look strong and there's a bad color on /our nose."

And ho departed, satisfied that ho had nod c a narrow escape from death. ESTIMATING MANURES.-It is often use ul to have a few approximate data to de inen weights and measures from. Hero is i corrected tnblo, which however, does not lim at great accuracy, but may servo to nahe a rough estimate when it is necessary 0 reduoc mensures; A pint of water weighs noarly ooo pound ind is ?qual to about twenty-seven cubio nobes or a square box tinco inched ong, three inches wido and throo inches locp. A quart of wotor weighs noarly two lounds and is equal to a squaro box of ibout four by four inches and three and ono lalf indies deep. A gallon of water weighs from oight to cn pounds, according to tho size of tho ;alloii, and is equal to a box six by six nobes squaro, and six, seven, or sevon ond 1 half inches deep. A oubio foot of water weighs nearly tixty throo pounds (moro correctly sixty two ind a half pounds), and contains from oven to oight gallons, according to thc cind of gallons used.

FRIED APPLES.-This is tho soneon now for this wholosomo and palatable dish. Don't fry thom after tho pork-they will all tasto too porky. Just drop a little lump of butter in thc spider, heat it hot, and then pour in tho dish of slioed apples. Add a half teacup of boiling water, put on tho oovor, nod let them cook until soft without stirring. Givo tho spidor au occasional shako, then take off tho cover and let thom fry until thoy begin to brown. There's a big dfforonoo botwoba dinner for nothiug and nothing for di mi cr. NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.-Wo suppose many people think newspaper mon are per? 8?stout duns. Lot a farmer placo himself in n similar business position, and soo If ho would not do tho samo. Suppose he raisod 1,000 bushels of wheat, and his neighbor should como and buy o bushel, and tho prioo WOB a small matter of only two dollars or les?, and tho neighbor says: "I will hand you thu amount in a few days." As tho farmer did not want to be small about tho matter, he says all right, and tho mon loavoa with tho whoat. Another comes in tho samo way until tho 1,000 differOnt per sons, and not uno of tho purchasers oonoorns himself about it, for it is o small amount that ho owes tho furuior, and of eourso that would not help him any. Ho does not realizo that tho farmor has-frittered away all his large crop of wheat, and that its value is duo him. in a thousand littlo drib blets, and that he is seriously embarrassed in his business because his debtors treat it as a littlo matter. But if nil would pay him promptly, which they could do as well as not, it would bo a very largo amount to tho funner, and enable him to carry on his business without difficulty. Th abovo comparison is too truo of the difficulties that the newspaper man has to oontond with.
