LET TBK FItOJI THE CUl'STKY Newberiit, AufrnBt 0.-"Allston 1 Allston!" cried the conductor, aa wo arrived "at that station on tho Grconvillo and Columbia Railroad, which roused us from a dreamy stato of dosr-o in which wo lay crumped up on tho eoat of the railroad car Wo rubbed oar oyos nud looked. Every ano was hurrying to get out, so we slowly arose, gavo our logs a jork, and mudo for the ferry boat. Tho bridge thrown acron? tho river hero, which was burnt by Kilpatkick's mon, is now nearly completad. It ia uino hnudrod foot long. Tho struct uro is under tht suporvii-ion of W. F. Bunxe, au energclic, go-ahead man. Several now woodon piers havo beou conslructed between tho gran ito pillars. Whether they will bo sufficiently strong to rosist tho immense drift of wood and deii.rts which invariably collects whenever there is a hoavy flood of tho rivor, is a questionable -latter. Tho proof vid be when it occurs. In aomo throe or four weeks tho bridge will bo finished, whon tho road will bo oponod onco more from tho mountains to the sea-board. Mr. Eajif.t, the President of this road, is docidedly the righi man in the right place. He ia eminently practical, and fjf untiriug energy. Ho is always on the road, superintending and directing. He gives his indi vidual attention to it. "Every man to his trade,'< aays an old adage; and we are glad to bo able to chronicle that the directors of this road, for onoe in its history, with all due respect to thoao who previously presided, exercised common sense in electing a man, unconnected with any other busi ness, who understands his duty, and pays atten tion to the oamo. In tino timo wo arrived at Nowberry. Tho crops all along the line of railroad, from Charleston up, aro, beyond tho Bhadow of a doubt, very inferior. Now and then may bo soon little patches of corn and cotton that exhibit sorao vitality. In general, the corn is literally dried up and run away with grass. Even the very animals seem infected; for we noticod many horse gothic atruotures, worn out with starvation and tho plough, with hips protruding, who stood hanging their long straight necks over the rails of fences with a forlorn ex pression of countenauce, breathing in long drawn sighs over the burnt up herbage, mournfully whickering to every passer by: Oh I for a pecfc of corn. Ever and anon, here and there, lazily Bit ting in tho Bhado of aome log cabin or tree, half clad and shoeless, might bo seen numbers of the Freodmon's Bureau listlosBly gazing at tho pass ing train, at whioh we could not help from ex claiming : Needy sana of Atrio, whither are you going? Hot shines the ann. Your hat 'a gut a bola In it 80 have your breeches. The good old days of the negro havo passed away-his corn huakings and merry dances when be know not a oare, and sang musically with a thoughtless, carolos? heart, "Bail away de turkey buszard, Nigger busk de cone," Have gone, and will be romomborod only among the things that were. Garee obtrude upon him now of which he never conceived. He looks ead, dejected and care-worn ; he is sensible, too, of an inferiority with his change, which he never saw so ostensibly before ; hie night will not be filled with music ; and, like the red man of the forest, the places that knew him once will soon know him no more. The town of Nowberry looks desolate and gloomy. The fiery scourge swept away the business portion of the town. It rnakos one sad to witness so much destruction and desolation, especially at a time like this, when our people have suffered bo severely by the demon of war. Howevor, despite the heavy and ead calamity, the people of Newberry eeem determined not to be idlo, but to rebuild, as fast &b possible, and in an good style as their circumstances will permit. Already Bomo vory substantial briok buildings under the supervision of T. W. Blzase, are iu ? state of construction. This indicates the proper spirit. There is no uso for mon, where misfor tunes have happened, to ait moping, lamenting, mourning, and cursing their ill luok. For some three weeks there has been going on a protracted Methodist meeting here, whioh still continues. Some three or four have been added to the Church. We think thoro is still hopes of gathering in a few more of the burning brauds. There is an abundance of material. Business is dull,-dull as a meat axo. Thoro is but little money in circulation. Tho people look forward to tho Fall with bouyant hopes. The farmers, uko as in days of yore, still ory short orops, and grumble most terribly. This, bowovor, is a privilego belonging to them. It ia true there has been a heavy drought, but this thing occurs every summor. The revolution has ouaugod the institution and the working system; nevertheless, in proportion to what has been planted and tho hands employed, there will be, at loast in corn, half a crop made. Tliero has been a complete upheaval in society. It has become demoralized; from the infaut inthq cradle to tho gray-haired man, all are more or loss affected. Stealing, lying, plundering, have becomo common, while human life Is not respect ed. During the war men wore arms; they walk about now with their arms girt around thom. This shows tho condition of eooiety. Order and safety will havo to<bo restored, or society must relapso back into normal barbarism. The health of this ?notion and surrounding country is reported to bo vory bad. Chills and fevers, dysenteries, diarrhcoas, ice, are vory com mon, and sickness on the iuorease. The passion of tho day, wherever wo go, is for money; and as old Hoiuoe said, in former times, and a certain prudent Scotoh citizen after bim, in counselling his son, "got mono v. honestly if you can; but, at all events, get money. " Harry up and get out yo_r triweekly; there is a large field for it if managed as well as your daily. Numerous subscribers, at liberal rates, Will flock to your standard. * -. a.? A newspaper correspondent says that John Morri-Biiy's "banking bouse" at Saratoga was $150,000 ahead on tue week's? operations, up to last Thursday night, and that one noted politician and nowspnpor speculator was $60,000 nut.

[pro.- oun own correspondent.] New York, August 1-One of tho largest or gans in tho world was placod on exhibition a few days nt Plymouth Church. I say one of tho larg est-tor though it ia of mammoth dimeneions, it is somotvhat smaller than tho ono at tho Church of 8t Sulpico in Parin, or the organ at St. Guorgo's Hall iu Livorpool. It ia iiovcrthvlcsH ti magnificent instrument und imnionao in it? pi- 'portions. It comeB from tho manufactory of Bfos-I-. Hook, of Boston, has four bauks of keys, seventy-five stops, and tinco thousand lour hundred, and forty-two pipes: tho largest pipo is thirty-two foot in length by eighty-eight in circumference. On the night appointed for its first public exhi bition thousands of pomona assembled in Mr. Beecher's church to hear tho big sounds that woro to issue from tho biggest of pipes. The opening prelude was porformod by Mr. J. H. Wil son, and whilBt the body of the church was filled with tho grandly swelling and sonorously volumi nous sounds of the instrument, tho souls of the wrapt and enraptured llstenors were filled with a mingled sensation of religious awo and silent ad miration of the all-inspiring solemn music. The big organ proves to bo in all respects a big suc cess, and reflects great crodit on the American manufacturer. Tho Central Annexatioual Club of this city held a meeting a few days ago, and passed resolutions looking to the annexation of Canada to tho do minions of Uncle Sam ; tho scheme to be brought about through the agenoy of politioal and not revolutionary measures. I regard tho affair as a tempeot in a tea-pot, or as a hugo mountain-or rather not a hugo one-whose labor will bring forth nothing more terriblo than an innocent and ridiculous Liliputian rodent quadruped. Through the influence of the Lei_\n__-proprie tors of the beet hotels in Saratoga-the Clarendon and the union-the race course at that place is henceforth to ho abandoned, on the ground that the hotel keepers find that, horse racing attracts so many gamblers, sporting men and fast charac ters, that their intorests are seriously Injured. The creme de la creme do not relish the idea of boarding at hotels where they aro thrown into direct contaot with these gentlemen, who aro of the turf, turfy. Besides this, Saratoga has grown to be, aa it wore, a huge gambling hell. I do not remomber whether I informed you that, on ono eveniog during my stay there, a fortunato indi vidual won $20,000 at Mouuisse.'a*faro bank. I have since learned that two Charleston gamblers won each this amount, and aro now in this oity I "countingout" (andspending) their money. Mor rissey, rooms in Saratoga are almost quite as handsomely furnished as his princely establish ment hore. Ia each of these, hie great l__o head quarters, he succeeds in making a pretty respect able living, and can well afford to lose an oc casional twenty thousand or so. In a list of the solid men of New York, whoso incomes exceed $10,000 per annum-which hat is publishod in the World to-day-it appears that the ex-prize fighter is still pretty "solid," inasmuch as hie income is set down at the comfortable little sum of $54,100. General Sherman is still travelling around on his great speech-making tour. Of late he is growing quite faoetious, not to say downright and most excruciatingly funny. In a epeecb delivered at Cleveland, a few days ago, the General spoke as follows : "I ace that the Atlantic Gable has been successfully laid ; that is a good thing. I also see that Congress has adjourned ; that'a a good thing ; and if the hot weather only keeps off, that, too, will be a good thing." Bravo for the great fire kindler, who has certainly succeeded in saying "a good thing" three times, though even in doing bo he may not have said a good thing once. A reliablo (re-lie-able) correspondent of the Herald, in giving his experience (?) aftor a fow months' sojourn in the South, holds forth aa fol lows: "I might go farther, and say that the South ia not only whipped, but that it is cowed. It was at Mobile, I think {he does not exactly re member), I witnessed a little incident which will go further to prove this than a bushel of argu ment. A military band, serenading a Northern Gonoral, played the captured tune of Dixie, and the peoplo on tho streets, carriod away by tho l:\miliar Btrain, set up a cheir for Stonewall Jackson. Alone in that denso crowd was a hall drunken United Statou soldier. Raising his voico abovo the din, he awore with many epithets more forciblo than polito that ho would lick the first rebel that dared to shout for Stonewall Jackson, 'or any other Jackson.' Not a hand was lifted against him, though he stood thoro at tho meroy of tho throng; the cheers woro atopped, the band playod 'Bail Columbia,' and the crowd dispersed.' Oh prince of correspondents 1 oh brave and he roic drunken mau alone amidst the dense throng of rebels-alone and drunk-and yet not quito alono, for the gallant correspondent must have beon near at hand-else bow did ho hoar him ? alone he stood, and in husky drunkon voico shout ed defianoo to the rob?la and all the Jackton fam ily or any other man. There is one very curious feature about thic little story, and that is, that the orrrospondon) does not exactly remember whether tho inciden) took placo in Mobile or not; nor can he say posi lively where it pin take place, although he remom bera that the band waa serenading "a Northeri General," and pretends to give the preciso lan guage used by the semi-inebriated soldier, over to the "or any other Jaorson."

[Savannah Republican. The Angosta Chronicle learns tbat quite a se rious anray occurred on the Savannah road, Fri day evening last, between two Mr. Seals and a Mr. Sanford, in which tho latter was seriously in jured. The ?Mimtor Bepublicau gives an account of a rape committed on a young lady in that county by a negro. He was overtaken by the young lady's brother and killed. Col. Potereon Thwcatt has just returned from upper Georgia, where he has been engaged in distributing coi n to the destitute. He informs the Journal <fc Messenger that 189.000 bushels have been distributed to about 40,000 beneficia ries, affording eaoh four and six-tenths bushels. The corn cost about one dollar a bushol delivered at Chattanooga. The Savannah Herald says that while policeman Dougherty was walking his beat one night last week, he saw two negroes standing auspiciously by a store door in an alley. On hailing them, he 1 was shot at, the ball taking effect in bis right hand. The negroes then ran, and were fired at t by the policeman, but they escaped. A short time after a negro was arrested in a house in the same lane, who had been shot in the ankle. Seve ral witnesses stated that tho nogro had just come ! home from church and was shot while sitting on his steps by some unknown person. The LaGrange Reporter saya that somo negroes in Merriwothor County, not wishing to bo trou bled with their old father, who was old and in firm, carried him to a brush tent some distance from their cabio, -vbere, a lew days aftor, he was found dead from btarvation. Mr. Booker, their former master, was informed of tho facts, and on going to the spot, found tho buzzards preying upon the old man s body.

General Banks, the Red River hero, better known, howovor, as Stonewall Jackson'?

It was a peaceful and lawful ansombly. One word from the reeog nized authorities of tbo United States in New 1 Orleans would have secured ita adjournment.
