?ATCHMAN PAY? VKB?29?~ dispatch ?o (he Charles iturday ?a"t, ander dat? Feb. 18, is a? follows: i Whittemore ia pinned >rigioal letter, written Juced before the* Mili to-da j, io whioh lotter ra to Si ll hie Wost Point e hundred dollars." it this matter of sale of otteo into the columns rth and South, and ia erable stir-even the ^ ??ViwjJuuiiwBu journals are raising a cry 8||?f?r. it. The New- York Tribune, -liaa taken np the matter, and has the following in regard to the particular BE? cain of ?'our honorablo representative:" vv.V "It appears that at last, the Military S Committee of tho House have discover r v cd. ono Congressman who has been 'v,r^ offering (or salea West Point eadetskip. ?. ' Wo grieve to say that ho represents the r; ;'. ( State of South Carolina, and thut, not ; y man? years ago, he was a citizen of New :?>. York. It is to be hoped that he muy .-be able tu disprove the disgraceful r>.. oharge brought against him ; but if the case is clearly made out, not a day should V> bo lost io expelling him from the body ' - ? which ho has disgraced." pt Hut a little while ago, in the midst of lho furor incident to "reconstructing" Wi\ the South-wheu some of these carpet buggers were working themselves into the good graces of the colored people, ' by tneir lying harangues and empty promises, tor thc purposo of extending the Radical machinery, so as to control, W? for "thc party of moral ideas," tho po p litical power of thu South, and, more especially and pnrticlarly lor the pur '. ;pose of filling their own pockets with plunder, so small a thing ns tho sale of ti cudetship would not have been no? ticed, legitimate business ! they would have said to each other. V Theu, the voice of tcuth, and thc proclamation ot facts in connection with -.'\ the bluckeucd history of these adven? turers-thc slough of Northern com munitics-was lost in tho din of exultant shouts and hallelujahs over ? fullcu'nnd impoverished rebels, and thc establishment of the Kingdoms of Radicalism in their stead. It was all ?put down to the malignity of disap? pointed rebels And so, the most . corrupt characters-thoso of whom, in exposition, thc most was enid in thc public prints, from tho very notoriety thus given, were enabled, in the outset, to climb up to thc highest places. Then, when tho wilber ing and blight .< ing truth of Mr. Whittcmorc's Boston antecedents, and other litt lo "games" and "practices" of his (some of them perpetrated on his own party, herc) was ~ published, and his attention was called tborcto, by some of the more honest and reRpootnblo of bis party, "oh," says bc, "let'otn blow it out and bo douc-it will all amount to nothing." And, then, to himself : "Well, these things are leak? ing out (o a damaging extent, but I'll keep silence-that's my policy-put on my dignity and assume silent contempt." .Rut?a day ol more calmness and rcficc tion has comt, and tho Republican purty begins to find il necessary to purge itself. It hus too much dead weight to carry. And now the Republican press, with the Tribune in thc lead, even talks about the expulsion of these characters from Congress. What will Mr. Whitte? more now say? Coutinuc his "silence" and "dignity" policy? Methinks he will hear a voice, ???suing out from thc rauksof lila owl) party, and touching these things, pointing him tu thc hand writing on the wall. And .since "silence, that dreadful bell," bo his policy, let"ctcrnal silenco bo his doom." Wc hail all this ns thc coming of a . belier day. Men so corrupt cannot con? tinue lo occupy the high places of the country. There must and will bc a . " unity of all hottest clements to drive thom out. AEiLUnOICD KV KMX DISTtlin. ANCIi IN SI .ll J lill. Weare in possession of information and affidavits in reference to Kn Klux disturbances in Sumter County. These men called a'meeting n short time ugu of thc people living in the vicinity of ' lho lato Robertson outrage. They domouded that tho Democrats should H cpa ra tn to one side and the Radicals to the other. About sixteen colored men went over to the D?mocratie ?ide, and about eighty remained firm to their principles. The latter wt to told that thoy should not bc permitted to rout or farm lands on their own account. On th? night of thc second of Fobru nry a party of armed men, iti disgusc, entered tho dwelling house of Jacob Drice, a mun renting land from Mrs. Dell, and commenced abusing his wife und children, ile wus absent nt thc lime. 'I hey remained there about half j mi bf ur, und then set tiro lo l?is barn, V Containing ubout forty bushels of corn, whioh was cul ?rely consumed. They also fired two shots at. one'?X)f Price's sous, evidently with the intent ot killing him Thc only crime against these persons rooms to be their adherence to Re? publicanism. This family became so i terror stricken that they laid out in tho woods for many nights, expecting these ., villains to return and ctr ry out their > threats. They have been taken caro of by friends. No arrests have been made. ^H. This mun ?0 only ono of many against ; Who m thrusts have been made. An address has been forwarded to members i of rt?e General Assembly, asking that M met h ing be dono to stay these cow? ardly j0rscoui?ouH of un innocent and 4 \ inoffensive oluss of oit i/?ns. ' Wo gi.'t the above from tho Chailos K Uu baily -Wtci ol Saturday;^,' which . ... V - ?'. \ i piper says that tho statements toad? ar? ; derived from a Radical so a ree. It also tsaye that tho occurrence? mentioned are probably the tame as those alluded to io our Columbia dispatches. Wie dispatches alluded to state that Mr. Feriter presented a letter from Coghlan, Sheriff ol Sumter County, with the affidavit of Jacob Price, relative to the barning of a corn erib and Ku Klux outrages in said County. After debate, it was referred to the Committee on grievances. We know not whether the letter re? ferred to details the statements as they are above made, but this we know, that what is there stated in regard'to a meet? ing of the citizens and effort to foree the oolored people into position, ia utterly and entirely without foundation. No such meeting was held in thatseotion no attempt was mado to hold it, and no wish or purpose to bold such a meeting ozists or has existed. From all the information we have beou enabled to gather, the statement in regard to tho buming is also false, as also the iusults to the family of the said Price. Some purtles, whether white or colored, we have not been enabled to learn, aro said to have waited on Price and informed him that some of his prao tiees were obnoxious. But no violence was either attempted or threatened, as tar as we have been enabled to learn. The opinion is that no white man had anything to do with even this muoh. l?IANUFACTUKlToF I CK. We learn from the Columbia Guar? dian, that Mr. JOHN C. SEEOERS, of that city, the well-known manufactur? er of Lager Beer, has ordorcd a machine for tho manufacture of ice, which ho expects to rcoeive in the month of May next. With this machine he will man niue-* ?ture ice sufficient to supply the city, and be able to furnish the great summer luxury at a cheaper rate than it has ever before been supplied in Columbia. The ice machines vary in capacity and cost. That ordered by Mr. Seegcrs will cost $9,000 00, with a capacity of turn? ing out 1000 pouuds to the hour. The matter of icc manufacturo is now attracting attention in tho Northern States, aud the opinion has been arrived at, that it can be produced with decided? ly less cost than it can bo gathered aud housed for summer use. This calcula? tion will apply with still moro advantage* to the South, since the cost of transpor? tation, which is a largo item of the cost, would be save?! to us, to say nothing of the loss in weight from melting, from the time it leaves the Northern ice house until it is weighed out to thc Southern consumer. Thc best and cheapest ice machines are said tobe made in Germany. The Guardian puts down thc cost of them as foltuws : A machino turning out fifty pounds of ?coan hour, 81,500 iu curren? cy-100 lbs. an hour, 82,700-?OO lbs. an houris 4,000-4)0 H.s., 86,000. Chemicals sufficient to work them for years aro furnished with thc machines. Those of smaller capacity ore worked by hand, the larger by a small steam en? gine. Tho cheapest machine above men? tioned-81,500-would bc ample for the local wants of Sumter, and thc es'ti rtiate is that three hundred per ccut. on thc capital invested, eau bc realized, and thc ice sold at less than one half thc I rice our citizens havo heretofore paid for it. Herc is a chanoc for a snug little business for some one of our enter? prising citizens. Who will go into it? And at thc same time become almost a public benefactor ? SOOTH CAUOLINA INSTITUTE. We arc in receipt* of a circular from WM. M. LAWTON, President of the South Carolina Institute, which informs us that at a called meeting of tho mem? bers of th:it organization, on the 0th inst., among other proceedings, thc following resolution, submitted by lion, W. D. PORTER, uf'cr duo consideration, was unanimously udoptcd : Resolved, That thc President of the South Coiolina Institute bo requested to invite delegations from tho various County Agricultural aud Mechanical and Immigration Societies throughout thc State to assemble iu74.Miarlc.ston ou tho first Tuesday in May next (3d) to take into consideration thc questions of ? labor and Immigration, and means for further development ol* the agricultural interests of tho State. The President respectfully invites an earnest consid?rai ion of the import of ' this resolution, and thc appointment of ' such number ol'delegates as the Socio- 1 ties or Associations may doom proper. : Wc trust'that the Agricultural und 1 Mechanical Society of Sumter will rc- 1 spoml to tho invitation, and semi a com 1 potent delegation to represent us os indicated. 1 SOLTllliltN AUENCV, Mr. J.

Butler reported from the Reconstruction Committee on Thursday, is not tho kind that is want? ed. It makes the conditions which a person must fill before reoeiving his pardon, tooembarassiogand humiliating. It arranges for public notice to be given of the intention of each one to apply before the oourts for a removal of dis? abilities, and thus a sort of interest is given to each occasion, aqd the recital of a penitent's "acts done against tho Government" is heard "by. hundreds of persons who have done the same thing, and an esprit is excited which ia more apt to revivo old rebel ju? bilation than to reclaim old rebel sin? ners. What wo want is something broad and statesmanlike, something that is uni? versal, which excepts nobody, imposes no conditions aud asks no retractions, but which simply says : "We forgive you; go and sin no more." i here is nothing to do hut to issue a general bill I under tho clause of the fourteenth amendment, providing that two thirds of each house of Congress mny relieve personal disabilities. Tho mode is so simple, 'that if Gen. Butler goes to work io thc right way, ho can dispose ot it moro easily than ho did of I Cos.-N. Y. Herahl HOHE BNTKHPHISB. Any effort pertaining to tho Mechani? cal interest of the South, should rcccivo every encouragement. It is to be regretted that for many ?years previous to thc late struggle, me? chanical genius and energy failed to re? ceive its proper reward and eueourage? mont, and it now becomes more than ever our duty to support and foster it in our midst. Tho limited education, deemed suffi? cient, and bestowed upon those preparing for mechanical pursuits, was a prevail? ing error previous to the war, through? out our Southcru laud, aud wo trust that an error so gross is fast becoming obsoleto. Wo hopo tho community of Bishop villc will freely extend their patronage and support to tho enterprising pro? prietor of the carriage factory at that place.
