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. "

[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." O temporal C
mores.'

The Angosta Chronicle learns tbat quite a se

The Savannah Herald says that while policeman
Dougherty was walking his beat one night last

by a store door in an alley. On hailing them, he
1 was shot at, the ball taking effect in bis right

Sheridan va. Banks.
General Banks, the Red River hero, better
known, howovor, as Stonewall Jackson'? Commis
sary, has written a lottor to the Washington Na
tional Republican on the New Orleans riots, in
whioh ho says:
The Convention was.the ostensible, ami not the
- latent cause of the outbreak. 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.
General Shebidan, whose word evon the Radi
' cftls cannot doubt, thus disposes of the matter:
New On_EANs, 1.30 P. M.-August I. 18CC.
2b General U S. Grant, Washington, D. C:
, You aro doubtless aware of the serions riot
whioh ocourred in this city on tho 30th. A politi
. cal body, styling itself the Convention of 18(11, met
t hero on tho 30th, for, as it is alleged, the purposo
. of remodeling tbo present Constitution of the
State. The loaders were political agitators and
' revolutionary mon, and the action of tho Conven
> tion was hablo to produce breaches of the public
. peace.
I had made up my mind to arrest the hoad men
: if tho proceedings of the Convention were calcu
' lttted to disturb the tranquillity of the department,
but I bad do cause for aotion until they committed
> the overt ant. ??bout forty whites and blacks wero
killed, and about one hundred and sixty woundoi.
" Everything is now quiet, bnt I deem it beat to
i maintain a military supremacy in the city for a fow
, days, until the affair is fully investigated. 1 be
lieve the sontiment of the ?goneral community is
groat regret atlthis unnecessary cruelty, and that
the polico could havo made any arrest they saw fit
