To Ute Editor of Hie Daily Neun : Circumstances prevented mo from noting cer? tain matters last v.eek, when in Spartanburg and that vicinity, and I may as well retrace my steps and bring you forward to my present location. One word a9 to the Union and Spart anburg j Railroad and its accommodations. What I say is in no spirit of fault-finding, but with an earnest desire to see some little improvements, which I think can and ought to be made for tho comfort of travellers. Col. JETES deserves great credit for what he has done on that road-done, too, under the most dis? couraging circumstances, but he ought to do im? mediately a little now. The cars for passengers are outrageous, and utterly to be condemned ; they are without glass or blinds. When it rains the passengers are soaked. The roof leaks, and there is no good thing about them. Now, a very few hundred dollars would pnt one into order, and the worthy President would soon be repaid by in? creased travel and by the thanks of his passen? gers. And while on this topic, I must also say the oars on the Greenville and Columbia Road are not much better. Coming down, the other day, in a hard rain, the roof of the car leaked so much that the seats and passengers were wet. One gentleman opened his umbrella, and sat beneath it, to protect himself from the cold bath furnished gratis by President HAMMETT. Coming from Greenville to Spartanburg by buggy, I made a halt at the little manufacturing village of Batesville. This pretty place is like a New England factory village-white mill and buildings in the midst of romantic and pleasing scenery. The establish? ment is under the intelligent and able care of JAMES MONTGOMERY, Esq., a well-known and suc? cessful manufacturer, by whose energy the mill has been put into splendid order, with much new machinery, and is now turning out goods equal almost to the very best made in this country. A few miles beyond Batesville is Crnwfcrdville, where is also a small cotton mill, now owned by Mr. GRADY, of Greenville, and which is turning out very good work. Through all this section of country the crops, both cotton and com, are looking well, and prom? ise abundant fruit. . .' A portion of the country from Augusta to this place seems to have been badly worked, and the cotton and corn is light; but in this District crops never looked better. I have just seen a small field of cotton which was planted with "DICKSON'S improved cotton seed," and the cotton upon it is truly marvellous. A friend with me, who was fa? miliar with the Red River country, said it was equal tc the best he had ever seen there. The beautiful residences about this village al? ways attract attention from travellers. It is truly, a charming place, and will be much beautified as the inhabitants emerge from their present depres? sion. , The residence of Mr. Too MES is here, but he is absent to-day. Let me whisper in your ear a bit of news. Mr. TCOMBS will Boon publish a letter that will scare feeble folks, and brew a bit of a whirlwind in Georgia politics. Do you remember the first line of a funeral hymn ? Well you will have it illustrated soon. Registration in this precinct is about to dose. All has been quiet and every thing has been con? ducted civilly and in good feeling. There is a doleful apathy all over tho land among the whites,. while among the blacks all is activity. They are highly delighted with the idea of having one of | their own color a candidate for Vico-President on the Republican ticket, and they are beginning to claim a right to this, which right our Republican friends will find hard to resist. I meet a good many "hapless" people; men who say "all is lost" I have no sympathy with such people. Among these, I am sorry to say, tho Rev. D. ftloN. TUB NEB, bf Abbeville, must take high rank. Hi j let? ters, published somewhat widely, are not doing good-but ovil. Pity that a mau of his influence and talent should take this gloomy view of the country. I find it to be a fact that the hard-working men of the land aro tho most hopeful. They havo gone to work with a ic Hi and they know God pros? pers tho honest laborer. Look ont over our fields and note the wealth that is daily growing. Exam? ine the garners where wheat is stored; look at tho peace and comfort which exists, and though clouds are around our political horizon, let us re? joice in the many, many blessings we really do possess. _- _ A. B. C. The Duty of Registration. A committee appointed by a meeting of the citi? zens of Savannah sometime ago, issued an address to the voters of that city, from which we make the following extract, which is applicable here, as we understand that some young men, and perhaps old ones, too, do not intend to register. We ad? vise such to read the following reasons put forward by the Savannah Committee : Many of you, we learn, intend declining to re? gister your names, from impulses springing out of s en timen t and individual pride-impulses which we appreciate and respect, but which we think un? practical and delusive, and calculated to distract your attention from your obvious duties and re? sponsibilities. . You shrink from what you consider a persona 1 humiliation, in consenting to submit to the dicta? tion of those who now wield the power of the Gen? eral Government, and who choose to exercise it despotically. We entreat von to discard these feelings, and to accept our calmer judgment and counsel in this matter. We agree with you in condeming the Acts which Congress has passed, but we do not acknowledge that there is any voluntary humiliation in assert? ing the rights allowed to us by them. Granting that the Acts under consideration are unconstitutional, arbitrary and unjust; that they violate established principles of political right, and wantonly force the safeguards of social free? dom- ye t, until repealed or annulled by a compe? tent judicial tribunal, they are the laws of the land in which we live. You can "accept tho situa? tion" with dignity and without sacrifice of self Che war is over; the issues upon which it was waged have been decided against us. You have done your duty in that contest, but another duty still devolves upon you. The question now is, how to restore,Ottr State to a peaceful position of prosperity and of political freedom. To this end Georgia needs and demands tho aid of all her sons. The only way in which you can render that aid is by quahfying yourselves to be voters at the coming election. You can do that only by registering your names under the provisions of I the military acts. In no other way can you as? sume your true positions and grasp once more the power which is your birth-right. If you bold back now and refuse to register, con? sider what may be the consequences of your inac? tion, and the responsibilities that will root upon J'OU. I A very few votes may decide the preponderance of power at the next election. What fearful con? tingencies are involved m that simple sugges? tion? , If you refuse to register, you deprive yourselves of the opportunity of voting for or against a con? vention, and for or against the constitution which that convention may adopt. If you refrain from qualifying yourselves to be voters, what guarantee have you that the conven? tion may not frame a constitution for your State that will, on the very ground of your default, dis? franchise yourselves and your eons forever. Why should you disdain to exercise the right of suffrage, which has always been yours, because it lias also been confeired upon others-when there is moro need now than ever before that you should assert it? Many of von who will read this address have served your State faithfully in the field, under the honest conviction that yon were simply doing your duty. You haye carried that honor which duty sincerely undertaken and earnestly per? formed, alwavB confers. But other obligations to that State still remain to be fulfilled, in order to complete your record of a trust faithfully dis At no time in the history of our State, did she stand more in need of the united and unfaltering energy and devotion of her sons in her behalf. Immolate npon her altar all B elfish ideas," Every duty is stern. Every duty demands some sacri? fice of interest or of feeling. He ia worth nothing to bis friends or his country, who is not willing to make such sacrifice at the demand of duty. You fearlessly exposed vour lives in defence of your State. Will you hesitate now, when she is encompassed by now and foarful dangers, to rally to her aid, when she once more calls upon you for support? ,. Friends I We have shown you what wp hehevo to bo your duty in the present emergoncy. Wo ontreat yo? to hesitate no longer; to loot upon the situation aa practical men, in the light of reason and common sense; and to assert to tho full extent all the rights you possess, The Courier du Bas Shin gives an account iof the death of a surgeon and his two assistants at Heidelberg, under very peculiar circumstances. The threo bad been to attend to an extreme case of dipt he ria, and trachiotomy was found necessary. During the operation a small clot of blood fell into the child's windpipe. Not having the proper instrument, the Burgeon sucked the wound ju order to extract it. Having failed, tho others In success um applied their mouths to the wound, and at last succeeded in their object. They, however, all caught the malady, and succumbed to it in the course of six hours, .' FURTHER ANSWER TO SPECIAL OR Vo. 119. CHABLESTO?, S. C., August 12, li To Captain J. W. Chus, 3Mi UWS. Infant} J>. 0. and A. A. A. G. : SIR :-WO have the honor to acknowledg receipt of an official copy of Order 119, 1 quarters 2d Military District, in reference t< fund adjudged by Chancellor Lesesne in a < between the Bank of Charleston, complainant James Tupper, tho Bank of the State, and ot defendants. As this order has been issued and made p without any hoaxing or opportunity of explan on our part.it is natural and proper that we si seek to vindicate our names from chargos an< putationa which ne deem unjust and injin Tho allegations to which we have particular i cnoo are, that "the gold in question waa the perty of the United States at the time of said ceedings;" that "unusual and irregular ru were employed to prevent knowledge of the suit, and of the existence of said fund, from ing to the United 8tates authorities, of which allogod that the Baid Chancellor and the pa before the Court and their counsel were cogmzi and that the decree was "without juridic erroneous, irregular, and a fraud upon tho ri ot the United States." If the United States had any right or titi this property/ it was? of course, proper that should bo made a party to the suit. But, ii judgment, as professional men, the United Si did not then have, nor have they now, any prc ty, right or claim whatever under the laws ii subject matter of the suit. Declaring this i our deliberate and well considered opinion, we desire to bo regarded as declaring it ii most solemn and unqualified manner,) an ern judgment, if such could be made to appear i clearly, would not cany with it any violatic propriety, or subject us to any imputation i our motives. In making parties toa suit, whe at law or in equity, counsel must be left to th< ercise of their own judgment upon the facts ol case and the rules of pleading. This judge and discretion we claim to have exercised in ? faith, and nothing moro in that respect can jt be required of us. But it is affirmed in the order that the gold j"theproperty of the United States." The tit] the United States is not set forth, nor is there , indication of the way in which they acquire? Ali that wo find is tho positive assertion of fact, and we are leit to speculate for the groe on which the claim of the Government ia res ! The gold was advanced or contributed for a t cine purpose, to wit: to assist in remount 'Hampton's Cavalry. Certainly the Confedei States had no connexion whatever with the tn action, and had no right or liability growing ou it. They made no application for it. It was i in any way, subject to their control, nor had tb so far as we know, any knowledge of what was j Sosed or done. Nor was it a loan to the State, id the State every assume its repayment. <3 Magrath expiesely declined to commit the Stab repayment. It was not placed in the State 1res ry. hut was kept separate and distinct from other public moneys. It was a voluntary ccu bution from private sources, placed in the ha: of a particular public officer or agent, for a spec purpose connected with the war. If Gov. Msgr or Mr. Tupper had attempted to divert it to i other purpose, they, could have been res trail from so doing. It was not used or employee the manner indicated. When this purpose fai or became impossible, as it did by the fermi tion of the war, the gold reverted, on every pi ciple of reason and of law, to the original contri tors, unless it were intercepted by some righi act of war, or by nome Act of Congress dispos of it in pursuance ?t ??eh right. If, then, this gold was not the property of I Confederate States, nor of this State, it was { vate property, and must be dealt with as su The i ulc-of modern war is dear that no trans or title to private property is worked by the nu belligerent occupation, or even by the absoh conquest of a country. The victorious State di succeed to the publio property of the oonquei State, hut not to the private property of its a zens. This doctrine is, of course, subject to t modification of actual captare of personal prope. duringVe war, bat apon termination of the v tho belligerent nght or actual capture ceases, this case there was no actual capture, nor any cc structive capture by the taking of the city, for t gold was at that time for beyond the limits of t city, in the. District of .Abbeville, nor was brought back until after tho cessation of hi tinties. I But it may bo claimed that, by Act of Anet; 6th, 1861, it is provided that all property asea, intended to be used, for insurrectionary purposi shall be deemed "lawful subject of prize and ca ture, wherever found." It might be enough say that Ulis Act was intended to aid in suppn sing the rebellion, and that its operation ceo? with the termination of the war. Bat it cann escape attention, that such property is not abe lutely forfeited, but is made "lawful subject prize and capture." These ore technical wore aud have a precise fixed legal meaning; and tl mode of condemnation is explicitly prescribed, wit : through tho District, Circuit or Admiral Courts of the United States. Prize and captu must be during continuance of hostilities; the can be no such thing after the cessation of ho tilities and during peace. They are the creatur of war, and live only upon it, and with it. Tin do not survive it. Until capture, there is no tit or transfer, even during war, and at the end war prize and capture are also at an end. Not ha ing been abandoned property or captured pr porty, ?agratd? bello, the gold in question wi not, at the time of these proceedings, "lawful sui joct of prize and capture," much less was it tl property of the United States. There could bo i property before condemnation, and there could t po condemnation after cessation of war. We ore not singular iu this opinion. If it be a error, it is an error in company with four of tb most distinguished jurists of the United State In the absence of judicial decision, the well coi Bidered opinion of Messrs. O'Conor, ?varte, Piem pont ano: Brody may well be taken for a fair ac just exposition of the law of any subject. In a elaborate opinion prepared by Charles O'Cono and in which the other gentlemen concur both a to the conclusion and the line of argument, it ; announced as their joint opinion that "accordiu to the true, construction of the Non-intercourt Act of 1861, property not actually seized for tb offence during tho continuance of hostilities cai not be subsequently taken, captured, seized or foi foiled for or by reason of any violation of thc Act," or "of the amendatory section last referre to." (Section 4 of 2d Treasury Agent Act.) We need not enter into the reasons given an authorities cited for this opinion which, in ou judgment, are conclusivo, but wo may be pei nutted to soy that these distinguished lawyen having arrived at that legal conclusion, woola nc have deemed the United States a necessary o proper party to these proceedings, and that if the had failed or omitted to make them a party, the would hardly have been suspected of a design t commit a fraud upon the government. But the order recites that "unusual and irregrj lar means were used to prevent the knowledge c this suit and of the existence of the fund fror, coming to the knowledge of the United States au thorities," &c. If the United States had no right or title to th property, then no injury or injustice was done I them, even if knowledge of the suit and of th fond bad been concealed from them; and if credi he given to those concerned in these proceeding for good faith in the opinion that there was ni Buch right or title, however erroneous that opin ion might be, they would be entitled in commoi fairness to protection from all imputation upoi their motives. Tho order does not specify what were th "unusual and irregular means"' referred to. Wi must resort to conjecture on this point also. The proceedings were originated in January 1866, but the papers were not filed until February 1867. It is not "unusual or irregular" to withholt all tho papers from filing until some final decrei or decretal order is sought. In this case then certainly was no hurry. More than a year trans pired before any other order was taken than thosi necessary to secure the fund in Court. When thi papers were filed it was stated upon tho face of thi order itself, and BO recorded in the minute book that the case had not been docketed before, "foi prudential reasons. This statement was unneces sary, but still it was made because it was trae. Wi have no hesitation in avowing that the papers won not filed earlier, because the State was at tha time infested by persons claiming to be Treasury Agents, by whom private proporty of every de seri pt ion was seized, upon any pretext, in th( namo of the Government, and removed from tin Slate bofore any adjudication or relief could bc had. The United States Court was not then or ganized, and it is known to the whole country thal the grossest wrongs were perpetrated upon an im poverished and bel oles s people by designing per eons, who, under color or pretext of authority took cruel advantage of tho disorganized conditior of things, to prey upon whatever of value thej could lay their hands upon. But the very ordei for the docketing of the case in February, 1867, is not only a frank avowal of the reason why it had not been docketed before, but au implied acknowl? edgment that there was no longer any occasion foi these prudential reasons. It is difficult to see bon this part of the proceedings can bo toi ?tared bate any sort of "concealment." But reference may bo had to the order for taking tho papers off file. Upon this point of the case we dosire to mako our explanation very plain, so that unprofessional as well as professional per? sons may understand it, because it may be sup? posed or inferred that tho object and effect ol taking ruo papers from the filo were to remove all traces of the suit ana fund. To take the original pa? pers off file is not an unusual or irregular pro? ceeding according to English Chancery practice or our own Chancery practice. Un tho contrary it is regular and not uufrequent. Anothor instance" oc? curred at thia very term of the Court. It is some? times done to remove from the public eyo chargos and transactions of a privat > and delicate charac? ter; and we have known it dono in our own Court lu ibo case of a Creditor's Bill, where the parties filing the Bill had an justed matters with the debtor, and whore tho object was to prevent other persons from coming in and using the proceed? ings for their own purposes. It is dono upon con? sent ol'all the parties to tho proceedings. There may he cages ip which the removal of the original papers would "blot out all history, if not all tracee of the transactions] but such could not baye been the object or the effect in the present coso. It must be borne in mind that tho Register in Equity is required by law to keep a Pile book, in which a memorandum is made of every paper filed and every order or decree made in any cause un? der ita proper title; and also a m?nate Book and Decree Book, iq which 8,11 orders, decretal orders and decrees ore transcribed and recorded io full; and to those books thors must bo "indexes with the names of .every party, individual or estate to which the samejreiate, alphabetically arranged." And in the Rcgistr of this Court snch books and indexes are kept 1 admirable condition, and as public property, bless, therefore, the file book, minute book and ooree book are also removed, the taking of the >rigin&l papers off file will not accomplish any pu>08e of concealment, particu? larly if the orders c decree emtrsco a statement of facts in the case. In this case tho F.o Book of tl? Register has a note of the fling o; each paper and order in tho cause, including th? order for tcking off file, and in his Minute Io>k is recorded :ach order in full on the day it WM taken, inducing tho order to docket, with the 'prudential reisons" on the face of it, the orders fr distribution, which set out tho plain history of to transachoa, and, finally, tho very order in quation for removing from file. What purpose of oncealmeit, then, could be ac? complished by takig tbe ordinal papers from tho office and leaving bhind all the orders on record, and the whole of t.o evideico on file in the Mas? ter's office? The >aro stcomcnt of tho facts is the strongest arguuent incur behalf, and must satisfy alf fair-minod perons against the exist? ence of any such oj cet. it may bo added, that when one goes to look upi case in tho Registry, the File Book and he Knute Book ore his first resort, and not the ongina papers; that all the or? ders in this cause, aler tb docketing, were taken in open Court and before he assembled Bar, and all other persons pnsen; and that the papers taken lrom file were not Jily not destroyed, Dut wore promptly furniihedas soon as information was received that inqciry.adbeen made for them. It may be asked, wiry tbn were tho papers takon off file ? The best aiswr to this question is a statement of what occured in the Court room be? fore the Order was presented to the Chancellor. Only two ot the counsel ii the cause were present. The one to whom the Oiler was present cd. after reading it, inquired "whit ? the use of this Or? der ?" To which tho otfaernplied, ' 'it will prevent speculating claimants Iron using these proceed? ings to hatch up their ciain? and reopen this set? tlement." Thereupon the Order was presented, and having the consent f all tho counsel, was signed by tho Chancellor. It may be added that if ;here were connivance between the parties the ed could have been at? tained more expeditiousljand effectually without application to the Chandler, or in private at Chambers; that tho publicy given to tho transac? tion by docketing, and taing the orders in open Court and putting them pon the journals'is ut? terly incompatible with tb idoa of concealment; and that although ono lawer might possibly have fallen into the mistake of taking the original pa? pers off file for the purpoe of concealment, with the whole history of the sit and of the fund blaz? ing upon the public rccor books of the Court, it is hardly reasonable to appose that so many would have united in so pepable and egrogrious ? blunder. In relation to ChancelloiLcBesno, we aro bound not only by tito allegianc of our hearts, but by every consideration ol boor, truth and good con? science, to protect him fren all injurious imputa? tion. No mention of an' title or claim of the United States was ever nade to him. He dealt with the case upon the plodings before him. To those with whom the Qancellor has lived his whole life, no such vindication is necessary. But to all who have not so known bim, it may bo said, in all truthfulness, that, ?though he may commit an error of judgment, he h incapable of any know? ing violation of conscienci or official duty. In the assemblage of virtues tba; constitute, by common consent, one of the most beautiful and exemplary of moral characters in our community, a scrupu? lous conscientiousness is perhaps the most dis? tinctive and conspicuous. Ho has always boen so clear, not only in his highoffice, but in his whole life, private and public, tint men cannot, and will not, behove that he has consciously committed a fiaudor done a wrong. His lifelong pursuit of virtue and excellence woutl be of little value, if it did not stand him in stead to that extent. No one would be bold enough to isk him to soil himself with corruption. We have sought to defend ourselves without temper or offence. But TC are not without the sensibilities of men who ire conscious that they have reputations worth defending from any charge or appearances, or suspicion of professional mis' conduct. We know that ttere are not many rights left to our unfortunate people. But among such as are left, we do hope and trust there will be left the right of speaking openly and freely in defence of their own characters, aaa also tho right, or at least the privilege, ot defending what they regard as their property in the civil tribunals established by Act of Congress for that purpose lu relation to the first, we abide with confidence any examina? tion that may be instituted; aud in relation to the last, we respectfully ask that the rights of our clients and of the United States may be adjudicat? ed in the Courts of the United States, and that the portion of tho fund represented by us may be paid into Court to abide the issne of judicial investiga? tion. Very rospectfulbr, your obedient servants, W. D. PORTER. CHARLES H. SIMONTON. JAMES CONNEli THEODPHH G. BARKER. THE STATEMENT brought by the Cable that Bish? op DTJPANLOTJP, of Paris, is a prominent candidate for the Papal succession at the death of Proa IX., is either an error or a very significant fact. Since the timo of ADMAN VT., in the year 1522, no pre? late has been eligible, practically, to tho Papal chair unless ho was an Italian by birth. The pecu? liar union of temporal and spiritual power in the Hoad of tho Church, aud the vastnoss of tho in? fluence attracting to the office, since tho roign of LEO X., had compacted and organized that sov? ereignty, made tho Papacy too tempting a prize to be open for the intrigues and strifes of different nations; and so, by common consent, for nearly three centuries aud a half, Italians alono have been eligible in tho election by the Collego of Cardinals. If NAPOLEON really intends to press one of bis own men upon the Collego, and, as it wore, forco the succession out of Italy, it must betokon some further move in connection with his well-known views concerning tho separation of temporal mid spiritual sovereignty. But the probability is that the rumor is only a rumor. In the first place, the venerable Pius IX. still lives, and is in remarkably good health. Till ho is dead thore cannot be much of a struggle over his successor. A INTERESTING cass has j list occurrc J in Balit more, whore a child was claimed by two worn on, each asserting herself to be the veritable parent. The evidence naturally seemed to the court irre? concilable and contradictory. In this dilemma the Judge-doubtless remembering a celebrated aneient example, but modifying it to suit tho present era of enlightenment-directed.two chairs to bo placed at opposite ends ol the court room. He then requested Mrs. PEERY, one of the petition? ers, to take ono of the scats, and Mrs. FARRELL, one of the respondents, the other. Tho child dur? ing the hearing had been standing upon the plat? form, at the side of the Judge. Judge ALEXANDER then turned to the child and told it go to its mother. Tho child started down, but turned around and asked the Judge, "May I go to tho m otb or I want?" The Judge said, "Yes, my child," when she sprang forward, and throw her? self in the armB of Mrs. FAEBELL, exclaiming : "This is the mother I want." IT IS STOKENLVO for any true lover of popular freedom to read tho details of Buch horrid blood feasts SB those which tho so-called Liberals of Mexico are now gorging themselves with. Tho execution of tho old soldier ? VIDAUBRI was brutal enough for tho wildest excesses of revolutionary Paris. And, indeed, it is only by tho recollec? tions of Bimilar scenes not very long ago enactod among people who now boast of standing at the head of tho first rank in civilization, that wo can find any hope for the futuro of these half-breed ' savagos. JUAREZ is .apparently not tho man to control tho wild and reckless spirits whom ho has thus far led; or, if ho bo strong enough, and is merely giving them rein for a littlo, to more thor? oughly disorganizo aud break up tho reaction? ary Church and Foroign party, he is running a grave risk of demoralization in his own camp, and placing himself and bia cause in a very unenviable light before the world. A letter from Fort Gibson tells of tho ravages of tho cholera there as follows: "In one instauco an entiro family of ton persons died within tho short space of forty-eight hours from the time tho first ono was taken sick. The Creeks havo becomo greatly demoralized through fear, and tho moment any mombor of a household is attacked by cholera, tho kinsfolk seek their own safety by Dreoipitate flight, and loavo tho sick ono to meet tho uncer? tain issuo single-handed and ns best he may. Thus in several Instances, where death has intervened, tho body has remainod without burial for many days, and on one occasion the bodies of two chil? dren who had died aftor dosertion, were eaten up or torn into piocda by partially wild hogs, which are abundant in all this region of tho country." A Paris correspondent, in a lettor on tho women who are seen at tho great Exposition, says: But among all, it is the Parisian who is tho most femi? nine of all women. She is always invested with a charm peculiarly her own. She has eyes made to soe everything, ears made to hear everything, mouth made to say everything, and in the mean? time, the man the most rudo would nover dare to address her othorwise than respectfully. The Parisian is the woman tho most dangerous and the most devoted, the most ardent and the most tickle, the moat spirituelle, and ihe least instructed in thc entire world.
