I visited several of the most promi. -vent wholesale Dying or Drug Houses of this city to learn the commeroial value and importance of our Suthern Black Oak Bark as a Dye Stuff, and also the best manner of preparing it for market. We found, on enquiry that Southern Black Oak Bark makes one of the most useful and important Dye Stuffs in use, for giving the ground colors to the finest and most costly fabrics made in colors in Euro pean print works. The most expen sive colors are produced from flarirn. which is made from the extract of the black oak bark of the South. This .flarim is worth one dollar per pound. I learned from Messrs. Johnson & Bone, of Astoria, Long Island, who1 manufacture the fiarim, as well as the *applianoes for making it, (whose works we visited), that one ton of ground quer citron bark will yield one hun d red and fifty pounds of fiarim, which commands a ready sale at one dollar per pound. We also learned from those gentlemen, an we did from the Druggiste generally In the city, that a cord of black oak bark (Rossed) will yield a ton of ground quer citron, pared, is worth frou $85 to $50, 60, and sometimes as high as $80 per ton. * quer eirnumlls inoperation in and near this city, where black oak bark * n the slab (collected from the coast of the Carolins, Oeorgia and Flori da), is being ground, extracted and made into fiarim. We saw one of the quner oitron wills, made by Messra. Johnson & Sons, of Astoria, Long Is land, ( a small village some three miles from this city. One of these mills, we were assured, would grind, refine and bag from ten to fifteen cords of blick Ok Bark per day, returning to the manufacturer (even here in New York, who ships his bark in it. crude form from the Southern States) a net profit of at least $15 per cord. What then most bthe profit. when bark ean be iad at the low rates it cab be delivered at versing our State is every direction, ad at our seaboard barbors along our oa for 1sa eand detaehed forests of sk Os are-found in ~Vatabog% danoe all over South OCa'na, atid if mnents of productive wealth that the industrial energies of our people can be direoted toward. This is a branch of manufacturing industry that comes within the means of our own people. Limited as may be their means, they should have enterprise enough to par ticipate in its unusual profits, if not to monopolize it to themselves as far sa their own State is concerned ; that is, to see that no more bark is ship. ped from the State in the slab, but to grind and ship it in that shape, or to turther manipulate it either into ex Lract or flarim, which, as I believe, returns a profit almost fabulous. The capital required for the con itruotion of a factory for grinding Lnd refining quer citron or black Oak Bark, will not cost, for the mill and refining appliances (which, I under ,tand, insures the highest market pri )es,) not to exceed $150-which, with .he coat of a cheap shuttle and water )ower, equal to driving an ordinary aw-mill, constitutes all the capital aecessary to manufacture at least 15 one of ground quer citron per day, Nhich should return to the manufac urer, at leas6 a net profit of over &200. This busines requires no more kill than is requisite to run a eider or aw mill. I found, on enquiry among the eather dealers, that there is in this ity an ample and highly remunera ive market for oak extract of all inds, and also for ground oak bark ,f all kiiid. used by tanners. Now, Messrs. Editors, I know of no )raneh of industry coming within the neans and skill of our people, that )resents so tempting an inducement o enlist their energies and stimulate heir enterprise as in -the vitalization f an element everywhere so supera )undant throughout our State, and which is now being wasted and neg. ected from the profound ignorance of he people generally of its importance o the manufacturing and commercial uterestS of the world and of its in rinsio value to themselves. Is it not, herefore, the duty of the press to inlighten them in a matter so vital to he interest of the whole people, for to development in South Carolina will stimulate every branch of indus ry in the State, and will, by the pow. irful co-operation of the press, doub y enhance the value of every acre of Pak forest along our Western moun ains and throughout the State.

WHAT THE PROPHET THINKS OF THE NEGRO QUESTION-THE WAY THE LAT TER-DAY SAINTS DRAl. WITH THE IN DIANS. The editor of the Washington Star writing from Salt Lake City, undei date of July 20, says : We had some curiosity to ascertair how the Mormons stood on the negrc question, and the following was th< result of the inquiries propounded : Correspondent. "Are there any nogroes in your Territory ?"' Brigham. "A few ; there arc a considerable number scattered throl the Territory.) Correspondent. "Are they here as inembers of the Mormon Church or as Gentiles?" - Brigham. "They are connected with the Church." Correspondent. "What is their status bore in the Territory I" Brigham. "We consider them and treat them as what they are, the sons of Cain." Correspondent. "Are they admit. tod to equal fellowship in your Church " Brigham. "No distinction is made against them as members of the Church, but they are not eligible to any office, either civil or religious. A good many of them were brought here by Southern brethren when they cano from the States. They are in. dustrious and useful members of the Curi-espondent. "How many In dians have you in the Territory 7" Brigham. "I have no idea. The tribes are migratory. Those within the Ter'ritory when We came have all died out." Correspondent. "Have you been disturbed as a people by the In dians?" Brigham. We have not. The principal difficulty with the Indians grew out of depredations committed by passing travelers. The Indians re taliated upon Mormon settlers. If you will wait a moment, I will relate a little incident,'showing our modo of dealing with the Indians. When our band of 143 pioneers came out to lo cate a place here for settlement, when we came to the Pawnee conntry, thro' which the immigrant travel passed, the Indians undertook to levy tribute upon us, according to their practice among emigrants. We had but lit tle to give them, but gave what we could spare. The Indians were dis. satisfied and demanded more. No word was spoken, but the signal was given to each captain, and in a me. ment every man had his rifle leveled and our cannon waa trained on the In dians ; we then started on our way, the Indians standing in inuto astonisii. mont. That has been our policy over since in dealing with the Indians ; to treat them kindly, but to dictate to them instead of being dictated to by them, and to let them know that we think a little better of ourselves than we do of them." The vima with which Brigham gave utterance to the views of the Indian question, and his rantankerous ex pression of countenance at the same time, indicated that lie is a good deal of a muscular Christian, and has no faith in Quaker commissioners. CHINEsE IMMsGRATION.-An emi' grant from E~urope is, to our idea, far more desirable than an emigrant from Asia. Indeed, in this Chinese movement, under the present state of public opinion in regard to the equali. ty of races, we see nothing but dan ger to the Rlepublio. The Caucasian blood is the blood thit takes most kindly to Christianity and civilisation, and we want the white race to be forever the ruling race in this country. The peasantry-the laboring olasser of any country-are its bone and sinew. From them comes the mate. rial which invigorates the enfeebled upper classes, whom wealth and luxu ry have enervated. They' are the revivifying power of a people-they constitute the proper manhood of a country. If the laboring classes are of the blood of heroes and sages-of a race abounding with the qjualities of wisdom, enterprise, and pluck-their characteristics will be the eharaoterls. ties of the counrtry. If they are ol an inferior race, they' will make the country inferior also. For these reasons we want to see the white race own America; preserve here a great and free government and advatice the character and inter. eats of humaity There are other ways to become a tichor, but this is the way to become a free, virtuous, and happy, people Arts, wealth, comuirce, military pow or, may flourish after freedom has de, parted from the the people, but onl3 for a'while.

A Washington letter, of Tuesday, to the B.ltimore Gazette, says: Although it was very o lear from the start that the Conservatives in the unreconstructed States (if they really placed any reliance upon the assur anoes of the President) were doomed to bitter disappointment, still the Democratic newspapers north of the Potomac very generally refrained from expresbing a word of discouragement after it had become evident that a vast majority of the people. of that unfor.. tunate section of the country had do. termined upon the desperate experi ment of trusting to Punic honor. Nor have the ill-natured fings of such newspapers as the Richinond Whig, oven after it had beil made manifest that Grant had deceived those who had confided In him, been sufficient to induce the real frieud of the South to remind that people that Il1 told you so" in the very beginning. No one fully acquainted with the conversations and circumstances at tending the aceoptanoe, occupation and evacuation of the War Depart. ment (as acting secretafy) by Gene. ral Grant, could have been deceived by any of his assurances. The chief reason why I desire the return of ex President . Johnson to the Senate Is, that this significant chapter in our national history may be ventilated officially and in detail, If not in the emphatic language in which it was re lated to me. I can, however, vouch for an illustrative incident, not tet down in the bills of confidential reve lations. I saw with my own eyes this modern Camar "plunging" through a motley crowd assembled in the "Est Room," in the hot month of Au vmst, 1866, sweatirg like a bull calf, to be in time to stand alongside of Andy, while I-Ion. Reverdy Johnson present. ed the fainous Philadelphia resolu lutions of blessed memory. I shall be borne out in my recollections by the ex ininister, when I say that no one in this vast assembly, gave more decided nods of approbation to the salient points of his eloquent arraign ment of Radical raucalities than the general of all the armies of the Uni ted States. - But Mr. Johnson may not, or he may, know (but whether or not the fact can be proven by unques tionabLe evidence,) that at that very moment, and even before, General Grant was in strict confidential politi. cal relations with Wilson, of Mussa ohusetts, and had entered into a com pact, the chief obligation on his part oeing the betrayal of the uiuu whue conifidence he was to acquire by such abjetct SyeopIanCy. The Virginia and other Southern newspapers, who are in the habit of copying the letters, and yet are sotte times puzzled to see how it can be known here to a bwurn enemy to the administration what tho head of it will do in a given contingency, may herein have an inkling of the ground of the suspicion which was at the first entertained in respect to the final ao tion of his Excellency after his cele bratedlinterview with Messrs. Baldwin, Stewart & Co. A gentleman just here from Rich mond, who is no fool, and being deep ly and largely interested in telling the truth in this matter, is no liar (al though a Radical,) tells a plain story : Grant has given Cnnby a carte blanche; but this military upstart is deficient in the higher regions of po litical metaphysics. His panacea was the simple rejection of the neembers of the Legislature who "couldn't t-a-k-e t-h-e 6-a-t-h 1" He draws these words ont, I am informed, as Titus Oates did "The P-l-a-a-t I" Well,' after all, it Is found that in the blundering deception of the Presi dent, he, too, was grossly at fault. By the utmost stretch of military power the two objects aimed at cannot be aconplIahed-namely, the "recon att-notion" of the State upon Radical principles, and the usurpation of all the offides I It seenis the "Conserva tives" who can "take the oath" are necessary to form a quorum. Noth iog whatever can be done without them-not :even the passage, under compulsion, of the Fifteenth amend ment I .The -Virginilans consequdntly, have It yet in their power to ward off a worse blow than being still kept out of -our glorious Union.. IIf anything could show mo plaIn~ ly the charlatanry of the head of the Treasury than another, one would sup pose it would be the announcement that "there would be no muore reduc tion of tbe publio debt for the pre sent."

We learn, says the Macon Journal and Afessenger, of the 17th inst., from a gentleman who is engaged in laying out the railroad track on the new Brunswick Road, that on Thursday last two respectable young girls re aiding near Station 14, upoi the den tral Road, were on their way home from school, when they were overtak en by two stout negroes, who imme diately seized them, and despite their screams for aid committed a diaboli cal 'outrage. Having effected this brutal deed of violence, one of the negroes, who had but one arm, shook the mutilated stump of the other in the face of the eldest of the two girls, and exclaimed,. "I wants re venge, and I intend to have it. When I belonged to your father I ran away; be followed me to the woods and shot me, and I have to lose this arm, do you see it? Now I'm bound to get even with him," and drawing his pocket knife he severed the arm en tirely from her body, between the wrist and elbow joint. The two seoun arels then broke away and ran for the woods. Very fortunately the girls had presence of mind enough to tie the mutilated arm tightly above the elbow until medical aid coul1 be pro. 3ured, and it is barely possible that the young sufferer's life may be spared. The news of the deed of violence ran like wildfire all through the neigh. borhood, and in a short time a mount Dd patrol was organized, who volun teered to go in pursuit of the scoun Irels. They soon found one of them whom they questioned right sharply, but somehow or other the negro got lost somewhere in the swamp, and the party returned home without him. The other, and by far the worst of the two, succeeded in escaping from that neighborhood and made his way toward %Iacon. We are informed that I i negro answering his description was I ieen at a place known as Sandy Bot omaen Sunday night last, and yester- i lay the police were in hot search af- I ter him, a reward of five hundred dol Lars having been . offered for his cap 'ure. Tie if illowing is a pen and ink port. rait of the villAin, as ie has been des )ribed to us by those ucuainted with I is person: The man goes by the iameof "Bob." He is about five I eet ton inches or six feet high, of a i ginger cake complexion, solid and 1 )ompact in build, and very quick I spoken when addressed. His right Lrm has been cut off at the shoulder oint, and he has lost his left eye. Ie as also a well defined scar upon his left cheek. It is to be hoped that the Governor >f the State will. offer the customary reward for his apprehension, for he is loo dangerous a negro to be permitted to be at large. If captured in this 3ity the negro will probably be brought before a jury of twelve men to answer for his crimes. RECEPTION AND SPICEdit oF Gov. SEN T It IN NASHVI.E.-Nashvi/le, Aug. lI.-Gov. Senter arrived in this ity on Tuesday evening, and met with a brilliant reception. He was ascorted from the railway depot to the City Hote-1, where he delivered a speech in response to the address of ex-Governor Neillllrown. In the sourse of his remarks Gov. Senter em phasized one point, and that was that mn Tennessee there must be no pro scription on account of -rebellion, race or color ; suffrage and the fullest po litical and civil rights must be free to all. He continued by saying that the wounds of the past must heal up, and that brotherly love and fraternal feel ing must now be cultivated all round in Tennessee. He thought the cir oumstanees were ripe for a new party, which would discard dead issues and act upon the living present. Biour borism on the one band and p roserip tive radicalism on the other should be ignored and set aside, and a new de p arturo taken, which would tend to Ilberal and progressive ideas and meas ures. There are two circumstances which, at this time, will prove irrepressible in transporting to our shores the in. dustrious people of China: 1st, Labdor is rebelling against Capital all over this country anad Europe, demanding more wages and l'ess work; and 2d, the immense profits to be made by the transpo'rtation. It is said that several hundred steamers, nearly as large as the Groat Eastern, are now being built expressly for this trade. The Chinese are anxious to come, the steam. companies are .anxious to .re esive their passage money ; and capi talists, disgusted with eight hours' work and strikes, are eager to got:la borers Who never complain,.of priees and never attikce..

To ,uh a degraded scale have the official documents fallen I PRSIDENT GRANT.-From Grant nobody expects any thing, and, as a blockhead was never yet known to choose wise counsellors, so nobody expects any thing from the wretched creatures that he bas gathered about him. His Governmet seems permis sive to all his creatures. He suffers such a military despot as Oanby to legislate for Virginia, in a matter of something more than life and death i a matter, which, by his treatnent-of it, makes his exclamation, "Let us have peace," the molt miserable, or the most satirical mockery. The usurpative tenor of Canby's proceedings towards Virginia inaugu rates the course which will doubtless be taken with regard to Mississippi and Texas. In other words, failing to carry these States for Radicalism, the action of the several peoples thereof is to be repudiated, and this repudia tion of the people is to be the work of a military despot. It is not even thought worth while to submit it to Congress, possibly in order to relieve that body of the odium in the busi ness. Here then is a new revolution to be inaugurated, the issue of which is to decide whether there shall be a Gov ernment of the people, whether there shall be a recognized people at all, or whether we are doomed to pass,, by natural transition, under the donina tion of a licentious, brutal and vicious soldiery, whose natural progress and action recognizes usually no law, save that of "force." The stolid indifference with which the people everywhere seem to regaid1 this progress towards military despo tism, connected with the general bui- 1 ness of the social moral, would show them prepared for it, would show them willing to-surrender all of civil free dom that was held so sacred but thir ty years ago. Usurpation after usur pation, tamely pernitted and even welcomed, has completely underminedI their love of liberty, and has prepared them for the last of changes whichI attend the downfall -of a nation. The course of proceedings towards Virginia, and doubtless, of the other I Southern States, simply widens the breach between the two sections, and the gulf thus opened, can hardly be filled, even were a thousand self-sacra. fluing spirits, like Curtiqs', to throw themselves into it.-N. Y. Cor. Cuu GENERAL CANnY AND THE VInGINIA LEGhLATUIr1. -WVY GENERAL GRANT IS S]LENT.-The Walker anti-radioal party of Virginia, in the late election in that State, secured a large majority of the members of both houses of the Legislature, whereby this party have been counting upon two United States Senators. It appears, however, that after deducting the Walker members of the Legislature who cannot take the iron-clad oath of loyalty the Wells radicals will have a majority in both houses. It further appears that General Canby, military commander of Virginia as the First Southern Military District, In the exercise1 of his judgment has determined to enforce the iron clad oath, and that where the legislative mom ber elect cannot meet this oath tihe Commanding General intends to recognize his loyal competitor (radical) as duly elected. Ifnder this process two radical United States Sen. ators will be secured. Now, comparing this course of General (lanby in Virginia with his policy in South Carolina, it would ap pear that sauce for the goose is niot sauce for the gander. Naturally enough the Virglinia'Walker party are lneensed against General Canby. We understand that they have applied to General Grant to reverse this military ruling of the district eetsmander, but that so far the President has declined to Interfere. But if he should inter fere and order 'the recognition of the Walker members of the Logislature, what would follow? The election of two Walker liberals to the national Senate. But what then ? The nation al Senate (radicat), which is the final judge of the elections and qualifica tions of its own members, falling back upon the iron-clad oath, would doubt less reject these two Walker Senatorsi and here, we Infer, is the reason why Genieral Grant delnes to interfere with General Canby. Is mneane that General Grant has out the WValker new sehool republicans and intends to agiok to the~ regualar republican oemp, and that on this line he is mnoying for the oscoessiop, wIth; tle gain~ so far in als hawnd..

Tt is out of the question to ignore the doings and undoings of ti-e President, in writing from this point. For although lie does not spend a quarter of his ime at the seat of Government, his few acts, whilo here, are breeders of all sorts- of disorders and complications. This is my excuse for so frequently referring to him. Gen. Grant said in his inaugural that lie had "no policy," and that whatever lie did or said, must be paid very little attention to, as Ie intended (and gave due notice before hand) to unsay And undo, as occasion might require.
