My retlicetion of that promii. is asi follows, andi if thle nott.s (f tie stenographier present thle interview are1 preserved, I think they will bear ano out : Uponl it being" rersntdt Gov. Scutt by thle comm11ittee, that it w.uhl14 ho a great hardahip upon the coile t pay two levies in one yeir, espei cially when farming operations had been so disastrous the preceding 3car, he promised to postpone the enforce ment of penalty for nona-,L lelit until the l.St of next March ; that he would have the tax booki open, and inl tho meantilme, if ar-y tax-layeis felt disposed to pay their taxes, they might ha Ve the opportuniLy to do so. The promise iot to enforce the pen alty for non-payment until the bt of Maruh was clear, reiterated, conclu ive and unmistakable. Governor Scott, in -:..igning a ;i son for a change of the itio of collce tion to November, did say that promi nout gentleman in the Stute had r couutended a change to the fall of the year, as a more convenient seas.>n for persons in some portions of the Stale to pay their taxes; but this had noti jg whatever to do with hIs prom i.ej to postpone the penalty which was completo and unqualified. Such, at least, aro my recollections of "'the promise" and the interview. Very respectfully, yone o1dient :er vant. Mll. C. BUfLER Fires ii Chtrlotte N. C.--Fouir liitildii:g )estroyed.

"The enginers appear to have staked off this p)-xrt. of the line very badly," when on lok ing up and poreciving us, he added, in a louder tono, "but I reckon the en..gitiers know their busi nss boetter than we do."

Fire in Greeunville, The most disastruus fire that ins occurred in Greenville fur many years, broke out about 9 o'clock, to night, in the extensve planning, sash, blind and carpentering 'establibhnment of Cline & G ibbes, on the river, below the now bridge, involving a conipleto destruction. of all the machinery, tools, glass, builderis hardware, fin ished woik, etc.; as also thq build. ings-amounting to a loss of ov'r $6,000, without insurance. In the onuilding was about $300 worth of dressed flooring, sash, doors, etc., be longing to Captain J. W. Cagle ; also attached to the building, was a saw mill belonging to Alex. Mllee, Esq., loss about $1,200. No insurance. The lot-s to (line & Gibbes is very severe, as they have several extensive contracts in hand unfurnished. They are energetio and reliable contractors, and the destruction of their establish. ment is a serious loss to our city. The fire is no doubt the work an incendiary, as the flames burst forth in an immenso volume at some dis. tance from the stovo-the only place in which fire was kept in the place, and which Mr. 0 ibbos nasures me was carefully put out before the place was closed at dark. Our fire companies were in working order from the river in good time, and worked matifully in saving sheds, lumber, etc., adjoin ing-the main building, which was too far gone to save. The Palmettoes had an opportunity, and satisfactori ly tested their new rubber hose, obtained through the agency of Hop son & Sutphen, of Columbia. The night was chilly, and the streets very muddy, after a cold rainy day ; but our firemen, both white and colored, performed their arduous labors cheer. fully and effectively, and did not leave the ruins until every spark had been extinguished. The writer wit nessed many nets of good firemen. ship, and lie thinks the substantial oitizens of Greenville would be bone fiting themselves in encouraging those voluntary organizations.- Grcenville Cor . Col. PAwnix. General Sherman .Qi General Urant's Peaco Policy. A reporter of the New York Ier ald reports soine remarks made by General Sherman as part of an "in terview" with that officer just prior to his departure for Europe on the frigate Wabash. Being asked about the Administration policy in the South, the General said : "I don't care to speak plainly on those matte.rs. It is not in line of my duty. I think, howevor, that when the war was ended warfare against our brethren of the South should have ceased. The negroes are well dispos ed and a kindly people, but they are not, as a oass, posted in the soieneo of government ; they are apt to make mistakes and behave rashly. But I have no doubt whatever that every thing will turn out all right in the end. The Union men in the South were never a fino class of people, and sone down there now would be better out of it, but their presence in the late insurrectionary Status affords no proper excuse for acts of lawless nless.I "Then, G eneral, you do not approve of the repressive acts of the Federal Government V, 0think a mistake has been made. Tfhey are not all rasoals in th~e South. Tlhe majority of the people are the best citizens of the republic. The young men that followed the retreat i g('onfed. ratt s into Texas,ithe muon of the armny of Vir'gin ia, and the lads of the WVest who leaned toward the Routh were capital fellows, though mistaken. T[hese in my opinion, should have been appointed to position under the government as nimshalu, .postniaaters internal revenue collectors, and to other Federal and State offices, in stead of being drivenm into opposi tion. I really believe that these younmg men represented the 8o~uth, and that they were ready to cry 'pee' .iavi' and support the Government. I am sorry they were not treated properly. But it will be right in the end." Convention of Governors. The Governors of Now England and the northwestern States will momot in convention at Detroit on Wodnmesday the 29th day of November for the purpose of inducing Congress to take mecasures for the construction of a conitinuous water and steam naviga.. tionm route of maximunm capacity from the Mississippi Valley arvund the falls of Niagara to the Amnorican side thence by the way of Lake Ontario, the river St. Lawrence, Lake Cham-. plain, and the Ihudson river, by the the nearest, the cheapest, and best, route to the Atlantic ocean, amid that Congress shall have exclusive control *of all the works along the proposed route, so no forever to regulate the rates of toll and transportation there on.

The story which has recent ly obt ain ed an energotic publicity <.oicenin g the alleged over-isaue of South Carolina bonds seems exaggerated, and does less thana justice to a colspienlonls Class of I scoundrels. The debt. of that is gener. ally understood to ho aboit ten millions - of dollrs, and, with tho exception of o about on3e 1mlhon credit.-d to a villain I ons IaAl sw inl ing sclfIIee, it. was in cnrred writh cuomparaive hmw1anI*ty. 'Th0 Legislatre authorized the conversion aIId consolldation of this debt, and Lv ) virtua of this authority twenty umillionI of bonds havo been printed. A pp;r- I ently there was someo dishonest purpose 1 in printing so large a quantity ; but I whatever this purpose may have beein i it does not appear to have been ( executed to any such oxtent as the issue ) of the whole amount. 9 Gov. Scott avers that he has nine t millions of these signed. This state- c ment, is partmily corroborated by the I Vice-President, of the American Bank i Note Conipaniy, who has informed us ( that out of the twenty million prnited s he has still inl his vault six millions t which have not yet been delivered to u the State author ties. Now if Gov. e Scott's assertion be correct, and we have no evidence to the contrary, the whole u of the twentv millions printA ar, ac- t counted for, Wilh the exception of one t million only. This milhon is not hard t to find. It, is undoubtedly the million tj which until the other day was hlypithe. catod for the money tised in the puirchae n of the Greenville Railroad by the riug of carpet-bag robberi who 'now rile t South Carolini. They took ,.hse and pledged them for their own hem!iL t and wihout any l-gal althority ; i In other words, they stole them. Like i other thieves, they doubilass hoped noi. i to be found out ; hut wien the iohlers of this million of stolen bond. failed to receive the interest on their loan, and g saw their collateral decreasing in value t they threw the whole upon t he marketi i order to save themselves. e This produced a heavy decline in South Carolina securities, and the car- a pot-bag thieves scom to h.i - taken ad- 1, Vanta1ge of thn roLi.- -1i.,9 .,t: mill- I ject to -depress their market price Istill 1I furtlier in order to buy in the stolen r property for a song. so as to escape )an- ! ishmeint. for their knaverv. \Vhether they have'accoiplished this purpose or not, the bonds have risen again in the I market.
