'l'he steanishipl America reached U the harbor fo Yakohuaa, Japan, safe. ' ly aind in grod trim, at 7 o'clock A. M., Saturday, August 24, 1872, with in an hour of the timo she was duo. "Soon aftet she was fastened to her buoy, I went ashoio for a day or two, tintil the branob steanler for Shanghai i should sail. The same evening I went 4 aboard the Anmorica for a fw inhiuti e and while there learned that, during the day the Yokohama and Shanghai f freights, the mails, and all of the treasure, excepting $400,000, had lad been transforred, and that she would depart for llong-Kong on the Monday following. E]vorything was~ quiet and orderly as usual. All the oflicers, with one exception, were on board ; a few of the passengers and a a goodly number of visitors were also. I left my trunks, containing every thing I had with me excepting a liner, suit of clothes I wore, looked up in the 0 stateroom which I ocoupiod, little dreaming of the fearful olamity which so soon followed. 'IHE CONP LA ORATION. Shortly before midnight I was aroused by an alarm iof fire. I rose bastily, and without stopping to dress looked out upon the harbor. The night was calm its death. The bay of Yeddo lay before me, still and trai quil, a denso cloud of stroke, rising abovo the harbor like a mountain speo. tre, lowering and darkening the faco I and light of a full moon, and the nak ed masts of the different ships lying at anchor, deeply tinged with a lurid flamo just bursting through the cabin for the Amorioa, constituted the main outlines of the sceno diselosed by the 4 conflagration as I first beheld it. TiII ANXIETY OF TilM CIINAMEN. .'ho America, at the time of the lire, lay at her buoy, about a half nilo from the hatoba (wharf.) As soon as the alarmn was given, all the sanpans (nat ive boats) left the hatob a. where they were anchored for the night, and flocked around the burning ship. Every sanpan was gone I reached the hatoba, and it was impossible for ne to get nearer the ship. I was 3uffi ciently close, however, to mark ver3 distinctly, by the light of the fire, everything that passed on the Aiei i ca's upper deck. The Chinese pas ienigers were thoroughly aroused by this time, iad, Chiiainaen like, etch onc lad his box or bundle of efects 0In his back or in his arms, doteriin v'd to save that or die in the attemipt. t Many of t1h0m, Iam sorry to say, los' deir lives, beyond doubt, in tii, 0olish attempt, to savo a trifluz~g bundle ofold clothes. Seeing that no hope now remained of saving the ship, an attempt was I made to let the Chinese down to the boats belowv by a gangiway ona the port side TJhie terror stricken Chiinese rushed pell-mellI upon thme gaangway, each wvit h his package of wiordlly g.oods, utntil the ladder, overburdened I vit h tho great wreighat, fell with a heavy cralh, pirecipitating over sIxty ChIina~imen into the wat er. Mamny oft these were rescued, and qjuito a nmum ber ue rc drownedc~. The petsage to the gangway on the other sido of tihe ship by thai tine was entirelhy cut li by the flames ; nocthing remainmed, therefore, for Ihoso remaining on board (over 150 in number) but to jump oi erboard from thoelor ward (deck into the water, a distance of fully twenty-lIve feet, or to renmain and ho consumed by fire. TiiiE SCENE ON TilE FORWARD nDeC. 'The scene on the forward deck of the burning ship at this momnct bog gars d escr i ption. Theli A mecriczans, few in unmbr comupured with thet whole, wvero working with aill the onergy of desperation to lower thme life boats ; but before they could be swung on the davita all hanuds wore driven forward by the flames. Thme poor Chinese were now rushaing hith er and thither aoross the hurrienne dleek, screaming and throwing their armse in the air most frantically. Now picking up their bundles, now drop ping them again, then seizinag themij nce more and throwing thuemselves headlong overboard, box in armn. By tis time aHl tho upper (leck over4 the dinjing saloon was fairly consumed trnd the fire hadl c&imbed the main mast to the yards. Those who had jumped finto the water, and the few who had still to jnmp, must therefore now swima through thme death circle, withlini theI boundry of which no boat could now venture. It was at this fearful ersi that Capt. Deane, having floo~ded the magazines, and finding that everiy one else had fled, plunged over the ti shaip's bows, and fell paralyzedl in the water. lBrave man, overcome with almost superhuman efforts to save his ship, his proud spirit. cowed andl bro ken at the loss of (lie very apple of I bits eye I IUablo to use his legs, lie sank and rose, and sank again f( )h, t is there no hand to reach out and save Otr gallant coinmander ? Yes, thank I Go~d ! Ju mst as lhe wvas sinking for thet at time, (lie friendly hand of Capt. t Wiilliams seized hima by the collar and rescued him from a watery grave. About this time a very painful 1 ng occurred, which I deem worthay maoe. ~There were a few beef eat 1on board, and qitoe a nutnher of ( r a t hcear, turke and chike..jh he cries of distres3 from these poor, nfortunate animials, which were dis uolly heard on shore, above the toar the conflagration, were painfully >uehing.

M Mar.i, Cu.. ty Commissioners; Isaac Miller and I Levi Lee, Hottse of Representatives. The third inember of the Legislature is still in doubt, M. S. Miller and Smart running very close to each oth er. A. S. Wallace has carried the County by about 1500. The Presideutial Outlook. What effect in reality the result of the recent elections in the great States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indlana, may have in determining the result of the pending Presidential contest, we confess that we still have hope of the fieal triumph in Novemn - ber of the oause of Reconulliation and Reform. Nor are out hopes bahed on more longing that sueb should be the case, but ou facts and 6gures that at present seeiningly eanr t be contro verted. We don't propose to indulge in idle speculations, nor delude the public mind with vain theories, for we abominate all such, but we shall deal in plain truths by which none can be deceived. In our estimate, we muit naturally be guided somewhat by past events, and niako our calculatious according. ly. The States that, friom present in dications, are sure for Greeley in No vember, are Alabama, Arhansas, Cal. ifornia. Connecticut. Delaware, Flori da, Georgia, Indianti Itentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New Iampshire, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Texas, and the two Vir ginias. In the Electoral College, these States are entitled to 189 votes or five more than are necessary to elect. In the doubtful States, such as Illinois, North Carolina, Ohito, Ore. gon, and Wisconsin, and a few small or ones, Greeley's chances are consid. ered even with Orant's, 8o that, in case any of those put down sure for Grecley should go for Grant, Old Honesty has Lome reserves to fall back on. Altogether Greeley's pros pects are very encouraging, and his friends have nothing to despair of. In the great West, where the cause of national reform was conceited and nurtured, its supporters are working with all their might and energy, and will, we doubt not, give a good ac count of their stewardship in Novem. ber. Nor have the disabters of Octo ber 8th, abated their zeal and ardor. Pennsylvania is certainly lost, but In diana is saved, and Ohio is partially redeemed. In the latter State Grant received in 1868 full 40,000 majority, but in the late State election the Re publican majority was not over 15,000, thus showing a Democratic Liberal gain of 25,000 Iy renewed exertions, this majority can be easily overcome, and the State carried for Greeley. We say then to our friends, elheer up, for llorace Greeley has an eqjual, if not better, chance of election than Grant. What if Pennsylvania does fraudulently elect a RadL~ical Govern.' or by over 30),000 mnajority t what if South Carolina does elect one of her renegade sons to the Gubernatorial chair, on thle top) of "wooly heads." These events can't blind us to the fact that hlorace Gieeley is the choice of the American people for President, and we believe that thIs will be prov. ed ere the sun sets on the 5th No vember next. lus name is coupled with everything honorable, and his picas fur reconciliation have wade a deep impression upon the hearts of the people, whieh pleas we earnestly believe will be responded to enthu siastic'ally and unmisetakeably. We are powerlese, it is Itu, to do any thing for him here in S.outh Carolina, but we cani at least .cend wor d. of en eauragemnent to onr friends in1 other States, and bid themi God speed in the glorious cause. Lect us he trute to onn-elvs, and to our declarations, and look forward to the elect ion of oGreeley with colntdence, It wiill nuirely be a panacea for many of thle ills that afflict us, and an era of un1 precedented prosperily will ensne. "Old lionesty's face slhie luonl us far away in tihe dlhtance, lil'e a ben coil light at sua to the terapest-tossed mariner. Boon may we hope to see him the head of this great nation, dlispensing impartial justie to all, an~d reilief to the oppressed people of the South. The Double Postage Qttestion. The New York llerald's Washing ton correspondltence, dlated 22nd, has tile following in relation to the sub. hlecently the acting Viret Assist. ant Postmaster General, which is a new tit~le in thle civIl service decided, in the absence of highler officials, that the unpaid postage on all matter on which prepayment is required should be doubled and collected on delivery. The decisioni ras made under section 152 of the new postal code, which is is follows "That if any maill matter, onwhich by law the postage is re luired to be prepaid at the mailing >fiice, shall by inadverteno, reach its destination without sthl payment, double the prepaid ratas shall be fharged and collected oti delivery.? The scotion that applies to the oaso raised for the consideration of the Department is as follows : "That ail mail matter deposited for mailing on which at least one full rate of post. age has bou paid as required by law, aball lie forwarded to its destination, charged with the unpaid rate to be coilected on delivery." It was sup. posed that when the attention of the Postr aster General was called to the ruling of Mr. Marr, lie would aime diately reserve it. Oo the contrary, it is stated that on Satnrday, wheti as.k ed if ho approved it. he dleclared e-in pihatically that lie did. The0 naow postal code deflnes what a rnc of pos. tage is, and for letters the '-rate shall be for half an ounce throe cents. Mercantile comintlnities in aill the large eltIes have coimilained of the forced cofist ructio-n of the law, epe. eially when the section governi ing the question precedes the or.e under which the rtuling ofl Mr. Marr was made. Uilcss the d eision is reversed Its legality will be tcted in the courts." Esseitial Qualificallil of it Siccessfu Fatrmer S11111: Beef.
