Correspondence of the Watchmao CHEROKEE SPRINGS, Aog. 14; 181 MR. EDITOR: OOO of the most i terestiug objects io this Deighborho ii< Pucolet Uiver. This beautiful stret is crossed bj a rude bridge about a m and a half from the "Springs," on t I?utherfordton road. The river is qui rapid in its course, and flows over ma rocks, giving it the Found ota sm, cascade. The trees which line its ban present every hue and ?badeof gre that the eye could desire, and eve variety of foliage from the sharp lean willows to the shady oak. A splend swim ruay be enjoyed io the clear waie and thc place is so secluded that, ve little fear of passers by need be entei tained. About seven miles North East of th Uiver is the famous battle ground '.Cowj.ens." Were it not for the mont merit placed there in 1856, to mark tl spot, thc stranger would pass it withot knowing that it was holy ground. Thc '-Cowpeos" of the Camden stocl drovers presents now no trace of ii former use. A wild piece of wood with a little angle partially cleared, ? thc intersection of two by.patbs, is a that remains of the spot where thesma but decisive battle was fought. Th monument erected under the auspices c the "Washington Light Infantry," c Charicston, the inheritors of the fla which Wm. Washington bore in triump on the 17th July 1781, has been vcr roughly handled by the vandals wh infest this neighborhood. The torie who disgraced this section of the Statt during thc revolution, have worthy sue cesser? in the wretches who hare marree this patriotic memorial. The gilder eagle which surmounted the iron columi is gone, thc iron railing which surround cd the monument is cutirely gone; tb white marble plintlh slabs and cap o the octagon have been defaced ac? chipped off, until thc very inscription are almost illegible. Nothing short o au indestructible monolith such as tha cut of which the "sphynx" is hewed could withstand the savage treatment ti which this shaft has been subjected, enquired from some persons who liri near this spot if any explanation couh be given of this conduct. They in formed mc that the only motive of th< destroyers was ?'hinder. One gentleraar a Mr. Kzell, told me that finding thi iron gate had been taken down aud hit in the woods, he took it to his owr house, where he now bas it in charge foi thc true owner? Fortunately the "Battle of Cowpens' has built its own monument "more en during than brass or marble," in the memory of those stirring times. Sitting ot the foot of this memorial pillar erected but fifteen short years ago, and: already well nigh destroyed, the past comes up before mc ia all its thrilling details. It is the seventeenth of January. 1781. Gen Morgan a mau of gigantic strength and standing six feet in height, dressed in the well known rifleman's hunting shirt, with i*e coarse fringes, Indian moccasins on his feet, and a wampum belt round his waist, bis routh-aheII trumpet at baud-his trusty rifle ami his keen edged sword in readi? ness, is marshalling his small but heroic band. Thc continental Troops under thc gallant Howard are placed where the brunt of the battle may be expected. ('.?I l'ickeus with the militia supports them Lieut Col. Wm. Washington holds his small body of cavaliy well in hand, ready to poun:c upon the enemy at the decisive moment ; while behind every tree and at every angle of the roads and split rail fiuces Morgan's unerring riflemen arc posted. Our men are ready -ocr force is small, but resolute. The British infantry are one fourth stronger titan ours, and his cavalry aa three to one. They number about one thousand, al! regulars, our force is largely com? posed of militia. Ile has two pieces of artillery, wc have none. The battle has begun. A few round shots cradling through the woods an noun cc thc advance of the enemy. There they come in regular order of battle, sk ?rm Uliers in front-the red coated in? fantry matching with cool British courage as if on parade ; on their flauk the well mounted cavalry, .with bugle? blowing, and posted behind thew the two field pieces throwing shot and shell into thc midwt of our little band. At the sight of this pageant some of tlie militia began to warer, but their brave officers spoke words of encourage? ment, and poiuted to the sturdy Conti? nentals who stood like a wall to receive the Brit ?.th charge. Un they couti with a cheer, cavalry and infantry at ouoe, conn* lout of suoocs-i, and looking with contempt upon our ?mall undisciplined force. Gen. Morgau remeu.ber? the four hundred and fifty ia?h ea inflioted upon his bare back by British cruelty twenty-six years agu, when ha was s poer wagon drirer in their scrvioe. lie is rveiywhef* present-strengthens every week point-encourage? ail by h's example aud performs vrocdruus deed? with his own hands. The trusty riflemen do their work. The British Infantry bej?iu tu show terrible gaps, while many a ?addle is emptied ol its bold cavalier. Tarletou disrppuiuted at his failure, beads bis men himself, and with ridoubled energy they rush upon . the hated rebels. Morgan uow give* lb* word, aud at ile same rn om eDt" Howard and bis Co Dental? advance, with fixed bayou while Washington sweeps down n the British flank with his splei horsemen. The enemy are astoande the attacking column finds itself ass ed in front and flank. A panie se them. At this moment Pickens mands a surrender, and assures tl that they shall have good quarter* The British accept the offer, and hundred men lay down their arms Three hundred have already been k cd, wounded or taken prisoners. ' battle is over. Tarleton wounded in head by the sword of Wm. Wasbingt has escaped with his cavalry, and tl fly so rapidly that all efforts to overt; them are vain. The Americans took 8?0 stand arms, two pieces of artillery and twen 6ve baggage wagons. This was turning point in the war. Lord Coi wallis withdrew his army into Virgil where he ultimately surrendered w his whole force. Congress testified the national gra tude by presenting to Geo. Morgan Gold Medal, to Washington a Howard, each, a Silver Medal, and Col. Pickens, a Sword. And here on this ground consecral by such heroic deeds, stands the mon mcnt erected by grateful Southern mi defaced and mutilated by Southe hands ! "Shame I where 13 thy blush !" C. H. M. [For the Sumter Watchman.] Colombia Hotel. MR. EDITOR :-On my way doi from the Cherokee Springs^havespe a day and a half at this excellent Elote and it is a duty and a pleasure recommend it to the travelling publ The hotel is well arranged, ham sotuely furnished and well kept. Beii situated in the most central portion Main Street, it is very convenient f shopping, and is always lively. Mr. Budds formerly of the Mcrcur is in charge of the office, and gives Y old friends a hearty welcome. Any one who is not pleased with tb house, must be hard to suit. I had a nice room, linen sheets, go? bedding, pavilion (if mosquitoes shou molest me), good waiting, plenty of ic< water. Bill of fare-Soup, nine kim of meat, three entres, eight relishe twelve vegetables, sherbet, and fot kinds of pastry, nuts, fruit, and got coffee. Waiting excellent. This is cot thc testimony ofadeat head, for I paid lull fare. _ C. H. M. emmummmm^mmmmmmm* [From thc 1'niun Times] A Negro Out rase-Heroic (Tondu* ofa Lad j. A diabolical outrage was committee on Saturday night last, by five unkoow persons, at thc house of Mr. Junes Ii Gcssett, one of our most rained an amiable citizens. It appears that th parties if ole noiselessly up to the hons aud fired one shot through the windoi tn thc direction of Mr. G?sset t's bec where he was lying, '.he ball ?trikin about six inches dircetly over Mr. G.' head. They then fired through th corner of the house, in the direction o the bed on which Miss Feruaudis wa sleeping, the charge striking about ? foot above her head. Miss Fernandi immediately jumped oot of bed, obtains a pistol, threw open thc door, and seeing one of the assaut: ing part; runuing. pave chase around '.he house fired at him, but, it is feared, withou effect. OD examining the premises, i waa discovered that there were five it the parry-one on a mule, one on horst baek and three on foot. One foot track was undoubtedly that of a negro, ban fotArtl, and measured eleven ?nebea ; an? other track was about the nise of an or dinary No. 7 boot. The reason for suer au attack upon Mr. Gusset', is involved in great mystery. He is one of th? most peaceable, honorable aod pure Christian gentlemen in thc land, and ha? never had the least difficulty with any one, nor does he entertain the slighted animosity towards any mao. He is, however, an unflinching Democrat, but modest and courteous io expressing his political opinions, and cover intrudes those opinion* upon any one un necessarily Ia fact, he is a good citizen and kind neighbor in every respect. The cool bravery exhibited by Miss Fernandis is worthy of imitation by all our ladies, particularly io these dangerous times. We sincerely hops the scoundrels will be caught sod the law strictly en? forced against 'hem. These negro as? saults are becoming frequent, and it behooves our citizen! to keep strict watch on their premises and prepare themselves against such scoundrels. Wc jce many signs of insubordination sinoo tho visit of th? Ku Klux Com? mittee and Buttermilk Wallace to this section. We are informed that the negroes have been promised that martial law would be deolared in a short time, if there were any mora outrages from either party, which means if the white pcoplo are quiet and orderly, the ne? groes themselves eeo brio? il: about by committing outrages upon peaeeable citizens. Wa can all imagine upon whom the hardships of political martial law will fall, if instituted here inst before the next Presideatial election. LOhor Irosa Eagle** I. There are hundreds of farmers in Kog laud who would be glad to emigrate to this country,vwith their families; tod fullow the same honorable occupation here, had they the mesas to pey the expense of the journey.

Tory bott ot eltbens -intelligent sod lit'ibt?ing. I THE WATCHMAN WEDNESDAY, AUGUST23 Ai Ai GILBERT.EDITOR _m - A Fiasco. The Sooth Carolina Tax Paver's Convention was certL.uly a flash io the pao. There was the usual evolotioo of gas, bot if it bas had any resol ts, such j resultswere not of any advantage to the honest tax payers. It cried "peace" when there waa no peace ; and assured of reform when no reform was or is visible. It was nicely hoodwinked by the wolves who crept into its coonsels, and it nicely hoodwinked the people of the State. The Kads plastered and promised, and the Tax Payer's Conven? tion and those it represented were effectually sucked in. Such seems to be the enrrent of sen timent which comes to os io oar ex changes, especially and emphatically ottered in all conservative papers oat side ot the State, and we give them as a synopsis of the prevailing thought of the people. The following from the Uniooville Times states the case with considerable emphasis, and our extract is by no means the sharpest part of it : "The scenes of the Tax-payers' Convention, lately assembled in Colum? bia, wer? so marked 8od so inexplicable, that their memory and mention must mantle the brow of every true Carolinian. One was the credulity and fawning exhibited towar- the usurpers and oppressors of our revered Commoo I wealth. The ether, the unheard of and undig? nified, not to say unauthorized, in? vitation? to take seats and participate in its business, extended promiscuously, and even to the miserable lawyers and blacklegs of the Blue Ridge swindle, that greatest of all the outrages upon the tax-payers of South Carolina, linked with ten millions of tribute upon their labor, and no single salutary feature. For the lawyer, as he was before he received State bonds as bribes to betray friends and country, we would say with an old English writer : "Ile was the delight of the Courts, thc ornament of the Bar, the glory of his profession, the patron of innoceocey, the upholder of rightj thc scoury?nf oppression, the terror of deceit, and thc oracle of his country ; and when death called him to the bar of Heaveo by &lhabcas corpus* he found his Judge his advocate, non suited the devil, obtained liberty from all his infirmities, and continues still one of the long robe in glory." When this picture was drtiwn, there were no negroes, carpet? baggers or scalawags at the bar or on the bench. Behold now the consequence of the unmanly credulity and cringing before corrupt officials. Your treasury is locked ap by an alien miscreant, who mocks you and refuse to allow your representatives to go in and count your money and examine your own books, which ought to contain a true account of thc receipts of your taxes, your assets ! and your bonds, and what has been ! done with chem. More s'artling still-and can any \ thing be more melancholly and horrible? thc President of tho Hlue Ridge Rail ; Uoad Company, (thc monster ring of robbers,) a native Carolinian, son of an honored sire, and himself having, in her better days, borne high commissions of Lis State, and sat in her halls of Leg? islation, holds four millions of your bonds, ob aincd by bribery and corr up lion, by treason to you and alliance with your unscrupulous enemies ; and he, too, mock? your representatives and refuses to tell them where these bonds are, which have been issued in your name, and without your knowledge or consent, and launts you, through Messrs. Porter & Connor, your representatives, by telling the n these bonds "arc in safe keeping." Who?c safe keeping? The safe keeping of your robber enemies, and thc enemies of civil liberty and consti tuiona) law-in the safe keeping of sharpers, tricksters, bandits, outlaws, traitor." Deaths* We are called upon, t>ays the Colum bia Pham ir of the 17th inst., to record thc death of two elderly citizens of Columbia-Rev. G. W. Boggs, who de? parted this life in Pendleton, on thc Uth instant; and Wm. II.Scarborough, K?q., who died in this city yesterday. Mr. Boggs was an aged man, and for many years a zealous missionary in Hindost?n and other foreign countries. He was, we believe, a native of this State, and bad for the past fifteen years resided in Columbia aod vicinity. He leaves several eons and many other relatives aod friend? to mouru his de* oease. Mr. Scarborough bad beeo a resident of Columbia for many years, and was ikilled io his profession of por trait painting. Ho bad beeo coufined to his bed for a length of lime. A large cirole of relatives aod friends ar? left to lament his death. --- fe?" The sickoess uf the President's colt, says tho New York Sun, about whose sore tail the whole officeholdiojr world was so greatly exorcised, was doe, we learn, to the oireauuvribed quarters \ devoted to the Presidential stable. To guard against suoh misfortunes in future, Gen. GRANT is erecting a oew palatial structure, adjoining the State 1 Department ?a Seventeenth street, for the royal atad. Thu edifice is to be 60 hy SJ feet, and three stories high, Ji i ia to ba built of pressed brick with j brown-itoBQ trimmings, ?hil? the interior v?l bo of hard wood, oiled, and finished ta itapertal aryle, The bue mem floor it destined for the Presi detaial dairy stock, Ute first floor for flftceo horse* aod equipages tc match, aod tho upper stories for provender aod rw?deoee* for the liveried servants. The cost of filie imposing stable wi I! be defrayed, not from thc Presidential privy purse, but from the appropriation fur the erection of tho new State Depart? ment. Bose Tweed must look to his laurels. The Scott Monument tn Nov York City. The World, of Wednesday, says : . The corner-stone of the monument to Sir Walter Scott was laid in Central Park yesterday. It will require about one year before the bronze work, now being moulded io Europe, cao be finished and transported to this country ; but, as yesterday was the centenary of the great novelist's and poet's birthday, which was celebrated in every country where the English language is spoken, the promoters of the monument de? termined to begin its erection on that day, thus adding a very important feature to the celebration. The monument will be an exact duplicate of the Scott monument at Edinburgh, and the work has been planned by the same designer. The superstructure will represent Sir Walter in a.sitting posture, and his stag hounds, one on each side, lying down, with their paws stretched out before them and their heads erect as if on the alert. This figure rests on a square granite pedestal, and thc entire structure will be nineteen feet and six inches high. Thc monu? ment is to be paid for by subscription and presented free to the corporation of j the city of New York. Its site, though not so conspicuous as same others, is a very beautiful one. Visitors riding into the park from the Fifth aver.ue entrance, and passing over the winding carriageway to the left of the Mall, will suddenly come npon a small plain at the foot of a high and rocky terrace, and here, surrounded by a smooth, grassy carpet, with a border of symmetrical oaks and firs, will appear the modest representation of the form and features of Scotland's greatest author. IK, T. Helmbold Attempt* to Commit Suicide bat falls. NEW YORK, Aug. 21. A special dispatch from Long Branch says about 9 o'clock this? m. Dr. H. T. Helmbold attempted suicide. He borrowed a double-barrel shot gun, hired a carriage with a colored driver and started out on Ocean Avenue tc wards Sea Bright to shoot meadow larks. Below the Arlington House he got out of the carriage, pl iced the gun under his chin and fired. He being a small mao the effort to pull the trigger caused his hand to move and his face only was injured. In desperation he repeated the experiment with the same result The driver who, in the mean time, rushed to him and caught him fainting and bleeding in his arms, brought bim to the Arcade Hotel, from whence he was taken home. Helmbold telegraphs that while out gunniug this morning the gun was .accidentally discharged but he is not injured. Penalty of TTlace^cnation Ia Georgia In thc Atlantic (Ga) District Court, on Wednesday last, five miscegenath cases were disposed of. Thc Jud; sentenced Wm. Hibbs, a white man convicted oflivingwith a negro woman, to pay a fine of SI ,000, or to be im prisoned in the Couuty jail for the terra of six mouths. Martha Johnson, his paramour, to pay $250, or three months' imprisonment. Wm Harris, negro, convicted of a similar offence, was sentenced to pay $250, or six non tbs on the public works, Mary Harris, his white paramour, to pay 81,000, or 6ir months cn the public wot ks. The House of Loni a. Tile London Spectator, a prominent English Liberal journal, in a recent ar? ticle severely criticises the cot d ;c: of thc House of Lords, and asserts that this body, which ?hruld rt-pretcnt thc higest statecraft and maturest prudence, is every year tempting aod irritating the people into new agitation. It is asserted to be realy hopeless to look for a conservative popular feeling while the House of Lords continues to otter foolish threats as to what changes ' it will mako. Of all the preseot institu (ions io England, it is asserted the House of Ijonh is the most dangerous and the most revolutionary, since if it does not substantially agree with thc general aim of thc people it caa only be au incendiary element in the Legisla? ture. ?27* Governor Geary, of Peonsylva?j nia, stands to his ground as to the bayonet election law. "If Grant don't like my position," he remarked th& other dav to an interviewer, "I can help it. As the Governor of this eon monwealth, I was bound in rr y mes?ag to allude to that, and to condemn th aetion of the General Government i nsing the marines at Pbilsdelphi during the election of last year, don't believe in that policy, and I neve,, can be made to believe in it.

OBITUARY. DIED, io Greenville, Alabama, on tba 28th of Maj la it. in tb? 29th year of bia age, CH ABLES HENRY BURKETT. It seldom ocean that we record the death of one more lameoted tban the lobjeet of this notice. CHARLES HENRY BURKETT was born and brooght op by bis parents in Sumter County, S. C., 'till be bad attained near man? hood. He then left his home and engaged aa a Fireman on the W. A M. Railroad, where by attention and eire be earned for himself the eon* fidenee and esteem of tbe company, and was pro? moted to the office of engineer, the responsible du ties of wbieh be filled to the satisfaction of tbe company and the publie. More than two years ago be dissolved this eooneetion end sought a borne in the west where be formed engagements with tbe H. & M. Railroad, as engineer, and was discharging the duties of this new relation ap to the morning of the fatal 28th of May, when be was suddenly thrown with bis locomotive from the track, and sc severely scalded that he died in four boars after the fait, leaving e devoted wife, mother, brother and sisters to mourn his sadden and unexpected d:ath. This melancholy death of one so fut? of youthful vigor and hope of success io the future, suggests sorrow and regret which none but the bereaved can realise. Here wo sorrow. A beautiful thought is thai expressed by a, thoughtful mind : "Sorrow sobers as, end makes the mind genial." And in sorrow we love and trust oor friends more tenderly, and the dead becomes dearer to us, and jost a? the stars shine at night, so there are blessed faces tbat look at us in our grief, though before, these features were fading from oar recollections. Peace to the departed. Grace and mercy to the afflicted ones. 0 G. MASONIC. rilHEREGULAR MONTHLY COMMUNICA JL TION OP CLARE VONT LODGE, NO oe, A.'. F.*.
