llurning of he America - Thrilling I
A'couiut of the visaster.
'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

TIhe above are the only oflioial re
urns, up to 5 o'olock yesterday. It
pill be6 seen that we hiavo not given
ho vote for State officers. Moses
ajouty is et'mated at about 1600.
The unofficial calculaion is that
)uvall is elected Sheriff; Sanders
ord Senator ; Clowney C'lork of the
ourt ;" Nelson Judge of Probate;
rawford 5 id '1msioner ; El
ott. Jacobs. andl J. 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.

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."
