f con^quenoe of the slight misunderstandings of citizens. Another meeting of Co. F, Sixth Regiment, S. C. V., C. S. A. will be held at this place oo the 22nd instant. The meeting on last Monday was slimly attended, and very little business was transacted. A large attendance of the survivors of the Company is earnestly desired at the next meeting. The survivors of the other Chester companies of the Sixth Regiment are cordially invited to be present. The hope is entertained that steps will be taken on that occasion which will lead to the reunion of the surviving members of the entire Regiment. There was not a great deal of cotton sold here last week. This was doubtless due to the decline in th6 price. Business was materially affected by the lessened amount of cotton sold here. A larger amount of the staple was sold on Saturday, and, as a consequence, business was livelier on that day. Cotton, which on previous days of the week had been selling at about 9? cents, on Saturday brought 10 cents. The store-house of Mr. James F. Atkinson, at Lewis' Turn Out, in this county, was destroyed by an explosion of gunpowder on Thursday night, about 12 o'clock. At this hour the clerk, Mr. John Neely, on awakening, observed that the building was on 6re, aud immediately jumped up and rushed to the front door, crying fire. When he reached the door, a keg of powder exploded, prostrating the building, and enclosing Mr. Neely in the ruins. The explosion brought other persons to the scene of the disaster, when Mr. Neely was rescued from the ruins, and the fire was extinguished, without much loss to the goods. Before retiring, Mr. Neely put five hundred dollars in his pocket; this money is missing, and has not yet been found. The general impression is that some thief broke m. open the store, stole the money, and then fired the builJiug. Mr. W. H. Crain was the owner of the building, and is a loser to the extent/of about $500. Mr. Atkinson's loss is confined chiefly to the robbery of the money already mentioned. Every effort should be made to discover the perpetrator of this atro- | cious act. On a warrant issued by Trial Justice McDonald, Ben. Michael, Preston Thompson and Wm. Thomas, all colored, were arrested and placed in jail ou Saturday, charged with stealing a bull belonging to Mr. John Stokes. There is no doubt of the truth of the charge. The evidence upon which the warrant of arrest was issued is so clear and convincing, that the defendants will, in due time, find their way into the Penitentiary. One of them, Ben Michael, has in the past been involved in several difficulties of a criminal character, but he has succeeded in escaping the punishment he so richly deserved. There is little or no probability of his escape this time. His only hope is to break jail and fly away from the scene of his disgraceful exploits. He was at one time the leader of the Republican party in this county. A righteous doom is on the eve of overtaking him, as it has already over ' taken more prominent leaders of this party. Chester will be well represented at the State fair this week. The Lee Light Infantry will leave on Wednesday night, and probably return on Friday. The prize allures them on, aud they go with hopeful hearts. A killing frost, like unto a small snow, made it appearance this morning. Vegetatiou of all kinds will now hide its diminished head until warmer weather and the kindly rays of old Sol bring it forth from its hiding place. The new brick building of R. Brandt, on Main street, is going up. The workmen are busily at work. Mr. Joel Simril is the builder. Mr, Bjr&udt expects to occupy it as a . jeweNyJalbfo-ty the 1st of January. The tracklayers on theCheraw and Chester railroad are again at work. The close of this week will find them about ten miles from our town. The supply of iron will then be exhausted, which will be followed by another stoppage of work, until more iron has been obtained. John B. Stokes and his son, 6. B. Stokes, were tried this morning before Trial Justice McDonald, charged with assaulting Charles Eaves, colored. The difficulty grew out of the fondness of the latter for a morning nap, and bis consequent delay in getting to work. When the facts had heen presented, the case was submitted to the jury, which was considerably mixed. They were unable to agree upon a verdict, aud were discharged. There will be another hearing of the case. A considerable number of persons in this county are still owing me for their subscriptions to the Yorkville Enquirer. They will do me a great favor in settling within the next ten days. My thanks are extended t to those who have, paid up. Qui. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM COLUMBIA. public interest at the capital the quondam officials ensnared?cardo zo's conviction?woodruffs enormous v villainies?the'military?the fair*? education. Columbia, S. C. Nov. 10th, 1877. Just now the capital is stirred to no small degree, hy a conjuncture of events transpiring and expected to transpire. The Legislative Committee investigating the peculations of State officials and ferreting the enormous wrongs and outrages which have been perpetrated upon the people; the prompt indictment of the plunderers, and the inception of their trial at the bar of justice, by the arraignment and conviction of a subtle villain W and the arrest of another at the North, thus increasing the list of those who are enjoying the otium cum dignitate, as they did not hope to enjoy this coveted offspring of wealth; the unwonted preparations for the approaching Fair; the contemplated sessions of the Legislature and the South Carolina Conference; the eminently auspicious opening of the fall session of the Columbia Female College, aud the prospective reorganization of the State University?upon a basis to make it, if possible, self-sustaining?constitute the prime sta pie or COD versatiuu ?uu c^jjcvuiubj. I The conviction of Cardozo wa9 rather a I surprise, although the evidence against him was perfectly conclusive. A mistrial was generally anticipated. The jury was composed of seven colored and five white men. Gen. Conner's masterly speech of three hoors was absolutely crushing to the ad captandum defence. The trial developed the extraordinary villainy of Woodruff, to the extent of creating a universal sentiment in favor of his punishment. What the people wish and demand is, the disgorgement of these thieves, who have their stolen money invested in real estate in their wife's name, here and in Charleston, and also in securities at the North and in Europe. | Put the plethoric rascals in the Penitentiary | ^ and keep them there, until, like Boss Tweed, I they are reduced to the last cent?and in the j Penitentiary let them be treated in common j with the lowest and most degraded negro hog | thieves. This accords with the general sentiment. Let the debauched radical press prate as it may about "political persecution." No mercy to the thieves until the "bottom dollar" stolen from the State be recovered. The people want their money back, and have appoin- j ted the Investigating Committee, through their General Assembly, for this specific object. The State military organizations and re-< views, the military preparations in connection with the Fair, and the like, are rendering | very conspicuous au element in the State gov- j eminent and public interest, which revivify sad experiences, and may afford topics for unmerited and ungenerous comment, on the part of those who watch, with Argus eyes, our ' slightest movemeuts, and are hard to convince that ours is a free, sovereign, commonwealth. Thoughtful citizens incline to believe that our recent helpless, perilous, and almost! hopeless condition, under the irresistible dom- j ination of a superior power in the Federal Government, should prudentially suggest the i repression, for some time to come, of the "fuss ! and feathers" of the holiday, martial element of the State government. That, in our pres ; ent transition state, the civic arm should 1 obviously predominate in the regulation of our governmental affairs, and in the displays on public occasions, as it evidently does in the absolute exercise of public authority and the assertion of the genuine taste and inclinations of our citizens. It is but a rational desire, proceeding from no feeling of abject servility or unmanly pusillanimity on the part of the thoughtful and sober classes of the people, that our condition should improve as fast as possible, in its immunity from suspicion where we are not understood nor greatly loved or admired. Thus confidence would more speedily revive, and prosperity and peace prevail in permanent and desirable forms. The leading men of the State should devote their attention and their time, to the furthest practicable extent, in the rehabilitation and restoration, upon the firmest possible bases, the educational interests of the people. The State should more than ever enlist her anamioo onH omnlnv h?r rfiHourcfts and active vuw?g.v? ? r*vj forces, iu putting within the reach of all classes, the advantages of liberal culture. The recent war, and our subsequent impoverished and prostrate condition have militated most seriously against the education of our youth ; and the contemplation of this fact, in connection with the future, suggests the gravest problems for solution. To whose hands are to be committed the vital interests of the homestead, the office, the countingroom, the social circles, and the civil and ecclesiastical polities ? They to whom mental training and the opportunities of acquiring systematic knowledge have been denied ? Were the children of the Roman senators, philosophers, historians, orators and poets, and the virtuous, sturdy and industrious citizens, the equal of their noble sires ? Whatever may have been the causes, the first named were effeminate, weak and inadequate to the demands of the country and of society. And, was not this a prime cause of the ulti ? ~ ? * . O T7IJ mate fall of tbe migiuy empire r jciuucauuu, in its liberal sense?training in the highest and noblest sense, in the various departments of education?must constitute the cornerstone of a people's perpetual greatness, prosperity and happiness, both in Church and State. The common school, the academy and the college, should, at this very moment, com raaod the most serious thought and the exercise of the most enlightened judgment and the most generous hand, in arresting the tide of iguorance, fast approaching its flood, and devising measures and means for the elevation of a generation sprung from the loins of as noble a race as any God has placed upon the earth. This is the most precious and enduring bequest the passing generation can possibly secure to the forthcoming and to the State, once proud and lofty in her cultured, refined and distinguished sons and daughters. Proper efforts in this direction will assuredly turn the poverty of our people into a blessing and a joy. Fail to do this, and what is hoarded wealth without mental, moral and social culture? We should feel called upon to perform the laborious, but not by any means ungrateful task of rearing upon our sacred soil, f i sacred, by reason 01 linraoriai memories, "pyramids of brass," to survive our day, and bespeak the growth and elegance of a race suffering no deterioration in consequence of the most appalling misfortunes, trials and back-sets. Esto perpetua will be the motto chiseled upon these lasting monuments of undiminished greatness. , Occasional. P. S. The petition for the transfer of Smalls' case to the United States Court cannot find a paternity. Smalls' counsel affirmed that they had not seen it, when, in Court?and before the Judge intended to be insulted?they both defended the document in the usual ad captandum vulgus style of the politician, and, in almost the identical language of the petition, which, like the letters of Junius, is without an author. The whole trick is understood here by at least those citizens who, when they "fought and bled" for the Confederacy, did not leave 100 slaves to protect their families. The character of the plunderers of the. State is too well understood at home and abroad, to influence honest people to believe j av - _-i:*: ? 1 tbat they are persecuted ior puuucm purposes. The State proposes to convict these men by juries composed of colored men of their own party. Do you apprehend that the political element adroitly introduced into the proceedings, will affect their minds and forestall their verdict? Will the same plea be offered for Carpenter and Patterson, both noted politicians? We shall see. The cold driving easterly rain-storms of this season rarely fail to afflict everybody with colds.
