VOLUME VI.-NUMBER 913.] CHARLESTON, S. C., MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1868. EIGHTEEN GENTS A WEEK THE NEWS FOR THE CAMPAIGN GREAT INDUCEMENTS TO CLUBS. v. . jj ? i ? The importance of the great political oon test ripon which we have now fairly entered renders the dissemination among the people of sound political views and aocarat? and ear? ly information of the progress and incidents of the canvass,'a matter of peculiar interest and expediency. Every individual who has any stake in the welfare of those Southern States, should give an active, personal end un? flagging support to the " candidates of the National Democracy-SLIXOCB and BLAZE. A ' triumph of the Badicala will' result in the "utter desolation and nun of the South, and the placing of an ignorant and brutal race in all positions and places of honor and trust, to ~the exclusion of the white race. Tho govern? ment must be wrested from the thieves and " Thunderers who now have control of it, and ?power placed in the hands of a party pledged io give peace to a distracted country, and to make it a government for white' men, and not for negroes. It is only necessary that the peo . pie should bet&orouglily informed to accom? plish this, and TEE NEWS will be an admirable means cf- diffusing thia information; In order to placo the paper within, the reach of all, we have adopted a scale of reduced rates of sub? scription for the .four months covering the Presidential canvass, and offer besides peculiar inducements for the formation of clubs. We are determined that THE NEWS shall be the cheapest and.best newspaper iii the South. Its blows will fall thickly, steadily and rapidly; and if the fri en da of law, order and the Con? stitution do their duty by extending its circu? lation, ita labors, can be made" powerfully effec? tive for good, We appeal, then, to our readers to examino oar remarkably low terms, and go to work with a' will to get up large clubs for v TBS CHABXZSTOH NEWS.

CO., Charleston, S. C. BY TELEGEAPH. Disgracer zl Brawl in Columbia. [SraOAIi TTXEOTJLX TO THE TUTI.T 2TEW8.] COLUMBIA, August 2.-A serious affray oc? curred here lost night, which resulted in the mortal. wounding of Dallas H. Smith, a der k in the poetoffido, by a negro member of the Legislature. It appears that a party "of five men, two of whom were said to be United States soldiers, visited a disreputable part of the town I ? in Senate-Street, near the South. Garoona Bail road Depot, They entered what they supposed fe> be a brothel bat which proved instead to be s colored barding house. Several colored mercie rs, who had just returned from a caucus,. were still up, and high words passed; One white man was struck with a stick, but wrenched it from the dusky member and returned the blow, when the col? ored men ran through the back door, around to the front of the house, and commenced fir? ing. ATI of the- oolored men seemed urned, ?nd at the same time a cry was raised for the blacks to gather. The. inmates from a number of colored boarding nooses poured into the j f etreet. The whites then retired except yoong , Smith, who- was found on the sidewalk, near the gate, ehot through the cheek. AH the whites were in. b'quor, and Smith was leaning } against the fence. Marks of powder are said io be' visible on the face, indicating a close proximity of a pistol. He was unarmed when found. Five minutes after the oc? currence the hat of one of the mem? bers named Richards was found near the body, bot he said it had dropped off near the house. * The examination this morning has developed nothing, as the testimony is con? flicting, and farther facts are expected to-mor? row. The police were promptly oa the ground, j 1 hot no arrests were made. It is apparently 11 impossible to identify the party, and there is much excitement among the citizens. Smith j ( wai expected to liva this morning, though be waa insensible. Ho said after the wounding s that he was shot bys negro. None of the ( parties with the exception of-Smith are per- 1 man eat residents of Colombia. One of the crowd is said to be a newsboy, who can identi? fy the colored man. No Yellow Fever in Kew Orien ns - Thc Louisiana Judiciary. ? ( NEW OBLXAHB, August 1.-Citizens returning fr?m the North report the impression is exist? ing that the yellow fever prevails in New Or? leans.

The city was never healthier, v Governor Warmooth nominated and the Sen? ate confirmed five Judges of the Supreme Court yesterday. John T.

Our European Dispatches, [FEB ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. *] TEE PROBOGATION OP PARLIAMENT-QUEEN'S SPEECH-PRESENT FROM THE UNITED 8TATEB CONGRESS TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. LONDON, July 81.-A session of Parliament was prorogued to-day. The Queen WSB not present. Her speech was reid by royal com? mission. It speaks of the foreign relations of Great Britain as most friendly and satisfactory, and says there is no reason tu fear war in Eu? rope. No reference is rnp.do to the United States. Tho Abyssinian expedition has vindi? cated tho honor of the crown. The cessation of the attempt at rebellion in Ireland renders the further use of exceptional powers granted by the two houses needless. The Queen thanks tho House of Commons for supplies voted, and congrat?lalos them upon the paeBage of the Irish and Scotch Reform billa, the Public School bill, tho bill for the purchase of telegraph .aires throughout the kingdom, and other bills of less important character. The speech also announces that a dissolution of Parliament will Boon take, place, in order that the people may reap tho advantages of the more extended system of ro presentation recently provided, confident of their fitness for their new duties, and that their voice will bo for the perp?tua? tion of that civil and religious freedom which IB aecured by tho institutions of the nation and tho settlement of the realm. In the House of Commons, previous to the prorogation, the Speaker said he had received through the United States leg ;on, a letter from Hor. W. H. Seward, accompanying a splen? did copy of a book entitled " A tribute of the Nations to the Memory of Abraham Lincoln," -a present from tho Congress of the.United States to tho House of Commons. Mr. Stanley moved that the thanks of the House be sent to Congress through Mr. Seward, and that the book be pfaoed in the library of tho House. The motion was carried unanimously. .mp. TIMES ON THE KEW PAS'.IAMEN T. Lour ON, Jnly 81.-The Times of to-day, in a leading editor al, says of the session of Parlia? ment that time only will show if the leaders shall retain their sLatus in the change from the old to the new body. Mr. Bright will find in tho new House of Commons a more conge? nial audience than in the days of Palmerston or of Gladstone, whose popularity may yet continue in a House elected by one cor^ titueu cy and doomed to satisfy the requirements of another.* The House may be satisfied in spite of all shortcomings with Buch work as the abolition of church rates, the punishment of electoral corruption, and condemnation of po? litical and church abuses.

The New York Times' pedal baye: "The position of the Cabinet in ?gard to the Democratic nominees is aBcer aioed to be as follows: None of them are sat sfied with the nominations* but Messrs.

MONTGOIIEB?, August 1.-In the Senate to? day a military bill was passed. It authorizes the Governor to organize the militia when he sees proper. The Disability and Removal bill was hotly discussed. The Common Carrier biD, introduced by a negro from Mobile, is a bone of contention, and ?B causing much hard feeling. The negroes are clamorous for itB passage, and the mover of the bill says if it does not pass it will cause serious disturbance in Mobile. The bill provides that whites and blacks shall ride in the same railroad cars and in the same steamboat cabin. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. [FROM OTO OWN REPORTER.] THE GOVERNOR AND THE DEMOCRATIC MEM? BERS-OUR AGRICULTURAL AND MINERAL RE? SOURCES-THE SOU AND THE CLIMATE-MIEL BITES AT $2 FEB ACRE-ONE HUNDRED AND TEN POUNDS OF UPLAND BICE TO THE ACRE - SULPHUR, COPPERAS AND ALUM-THE QUESTION OF EDUCATION. COLUMBIA, August 1, 1868.-A considerable number of Democratic members of the Legis? lature, among whom wore senators and repre? sentatives from the counties-of Oconee, Pick ens, Anderson, Spartanbnrg, Lancaster, Lau? rens and Horry, called upon Governor Scott at his rooms, on Thursday evening. Having been individually introduced by Mr. Heart, of your city, they were cordially welcomed by the Governor, and a long and interesting conversa? tion ensued, devoted principally to the agricul? tural and mineral resources of tho State, and the best means for their development. A large proportion of those present were-prac ticai agriculturists, and their opinions being the result of experience, were entitled to corres? ponding weight, and were listened to with marked attention by the Governor. His views were freely and frankly given on several topics as they presented themselves, and evinced a very considerable amount of knowledge on the subject. The statements comprised informa? tion from the extremes of the State. The County of Oconee, in the extreme northwest high up among the mountains, and the County of Horry, in the extreme southeast, fringed by the billowy waves of the Atlantic, were both represented by their senators and representa? tivos. It was stated that in the Counties of Oconee, Pickeqs, Anderson and Spartanburg thorp ffM? many th annand acres of land, com? prising every variety of ROU, i&/\lndi*v* i bottoms, the undulating intervale, the park-like glades, and the more heavily covered timber land, interspersed with mmes of iron, lead and ; gold,' and studded with numerous water powers within tho reach of every neighb ?> rh ood. The cli? mate was unsurpassed for its salubri ty, the wat- ; ers for their BweetnesB and purity, and the land? scape for its picturesqueness and grandeur. Two localities were mentioned in Oconee, con? tiguous to each other, containing four thou? sand and six thousand acres respectively, situ? ated on a stream containing numerous water? falls, their rocky beds forming the most sub? stantial natural dams, and only.requiring the construction of a mill race for its application to machinery. Theso tracts could be pur? chased at about two dollars per acre. This is within ten miles of Walhalla, the county seat, and the Blue Ridge Railroad. Instances were given of the great fertility of lands in these counties, and one in Anderson county was par? ticularly striking in regard to rice, which is generally considered as exclusively the pro? duct of the low country. In this case the result was one hundred and ten bushels to a single acre, and three hundred and five bushels to three acres. This was a COD (est for a premium riven by au agricultural society, and would be lard to surpass in any locality. From Lancas? ter County we had statements of their rich sul? phur mines, and their manufactures of coppe- ! ras and alum, and their attempted manufac? ture of sulphuric acid, which failed by the burs t ng of their retorts, from being heated too rap dly. In some localities the sulphur bas a large idmixture of gold, but owing to tho imperfect processes employed for its separation, the yield )f the preci?os metal but Little more than pays expenses. The principal owner of the mmes is low in Europe, but is expected to return ihortly, when a new impetus may be expected 1 o the manufacturo of Bulpburicacid, so much n demand as a solvent for our phos? phates, the expense of distillation being ?ichly paid for by tho residuum, con listing largely of gold. The lands of Lan?as- ? er are alao noted for their fertility, and par ?cularly the Waxhaw tract, which is deemed )f inexhastible richness. Lands may be had ! n this section, capable of producing a bale of i :otton or thirty bushels of corn to the acre, at rom two tb three dollars. From Horry we had i iccounts of their extensive pineries, their lum- ? >er and their turpentine. The rich belts on i ;he Waccamaw and other streams, with their 1 ibundaut crops of rico aud corn, their inex- 1 ?austible beda of marl, and the abundance of j .egetable manures along tho coasts and river 1 iomses. The range for cattle is hero inex ?austible, and stock remains out the entire j rear round. Laad in Horry commands from 1 iftecn cents to three dollars per acre. I Allusion was also made to the swamp lands , ?f the State bordoring on the Edisto, tho Con- I ;aree, Watereo, Santee and Pee Dee rivers, on ' vhich, by the construction of proper embank- j uents, many millions of acres of matchless fer- i ility might be reclaimed, consisting of theeolu ile portions of thc soil uf ihe up country, wash- j d down by the freshets. Tho extensive marl : ?eds, and the newly discovered phosphates inderlying the vicinity of a large portion of j mr seaboard, were also incidentally the sub- t ects of conversation. i To the proper development of all these clo- J nents of wealth, the introduction of foreign abor and capital were deemed indispensable, 1 nd these, it wa* thought, would shortly follow he advent of political tranquillity, and the lovernor stated that he was in receipt of many J sttere, containing inquiries relative to the re- ^ ources of the State, and ho felt assured that he time was not dietant when there would be 1 rapid influx of capital and emigrants from * >hio and Indiana, which would be greatly stim- i lated and facilitated by the construction of t ae Blue Ridge Railroad. * Au important topic discussed was the pro- , er ejeina of g?jrtt?tSKS?aa Sat iL? Sii?o. t Upon this subject the Goernor was frank and explicit in his views, and sere ed solicitous for the opinion of the intellgcnt and practical gentlemen by whom he wa surrounded. The conclusion arrived at was lhat the proper sys? tem was to commence wit! schools in locali? ties that had a sufficieni population within certain limits to give employment to a teacher, and to increase the sch GOB with the increase of inhabitants. Other malters were cursorily alluded to, and it was not mtil a late hour that the visitors took their lea\e of the Governor, very generally impressed vith the liberality of bis views and the frankness with which he ad advocated them LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. IK SENATE. JULY 31,1868.-The joint resotation provid? ing for the appointment of proxies at the meet? ing of the Spartan burg Railroad Company, was referred to the Committee on Railroads.

Junks moved aa an amendment to strike out ail after the enacting clauae, and offered a substitute. J. H. Ncagle moved to recommit thc bill to tho Committee on Incorporations, which .was agreed to. On motion of B. C. DeLargo. the committee were instructed to have the bill printed, anti report on Tuesday next ut 1 P. M. A bill to make an appropriation for the pay? ment of the expense? of the present session of the Legislature, and to meet certain deficien? cies in the appropriation for the fiscal year commencing October 1,1867, made by General Orders No. 130, dated at Charleston, Decem? ber 3,18G7, was put upon its second reading. Mr. To J?nson moved to amend "and pro? vided further, that no peraou who may have been removed from office by tho military au? thorities, during the oxisleuce of the Provision? al Government, shall receive any portion of any appropriation for pretended services after said removal." The amendment was agreed to. On the question, "Shall the bill, as amended, pass to a third reading, and be sent to the Senate ?" it was decided in the affirmative. A bill to provide a Private Socretary for the Governor, and fix thc salary at twelve hun? dred dollars, was put upon its second read? ing. Mr. Tomlinson moved to amend by striking out the words "twelve hundred,'' and inserting "eighteen hundred." A. J. Ransier moved as an amendment to the amendment, that the words "fitteen hun? dred" be inserted in the place of "eighteen hundred." On the amendment the yeas and nays were called, and aie as follows : Yeas, 25, nays, co, mb?O?i &z?zot vetin-. 28. Ko*agreed yu. The question was then taken on the amend? ment to the amendment. On this the yeas and nays were called, and are ae tollo wg : Yeas, 47; nays, 45; absent and not voting, 22.' Adapted. The bill, as amended, was passed to a third reading, and ordered to be sent to tho Senate. W. J. McKinlay, from the Committee on County Offices and Officers, reported back the Senate bili to fix the amount of official bonds of certain public officers. The bill was put upon its second reading. Bosemon moved an amendment, to strike out in the fourth lino of Section 1 the word "forty" and insert in lieu thereof "ninety." W. J. McKinlay (colored) said it waa wall known that under the old regime tire bond of the Treasurer of the State was $90,000, and that he was permitted to handle and control much larger sums. The present bill proposed to reduce the amount to $40,000, bat at the same time .surround the office with such re? strictions as would prevent a fraudulent use of the funds. Heavy penalties ware not only named, such as fine and imprisonment, but another bill was under consideration in the Senate which created other and stronger safe fruards, so that it would be emiuently pruden? tial to postpone this bill in its present snape. Dr. Boaemon (colored) Baid that hife reason for offering the amendment was not that? it would keep a man honest, or for tho purpose of throwing a stronger safeguard around the office, but because he desired to maintain the prestige of the Republican party. If in former times the Treasurer of the State was compelled to give bonds in the sum of $90,000, as a ?matter of pride he desired that the present Treasurer should be required to do the same. He was too good a Republican to desire to see the respect due to the office lessened by any departure from the time-honored custom. M. B. Tomlrnsou said he wag sorry to be compelled to take what he felt would be an unpopular position and run counter to the warm personal feeling that had been excited on this subject; but a senBe of duty demand? ed that he should favor the amendment of bis colloasue, changing the amount of the bond from $40,000 to $90,1)00. Seduce the bond and a blow would be struck at the credit of the State, the effect of which might never bo re? moved. The intelligence had already gone Nortb, that this proposition was pending, and letters received entreat that a policy so mur? derous to the interests of the State shall not be adopted. It was true that the gentleman elected, (N. G. Parker,) could not give tho re? quired bonds, but that waa a matter which should have beea looked after before he was nomip. led, for the safety of the Republican party Jepends upon the protection of the great interests confided to its care, and among these interests none were more important than the preservation of the public credit. There were plenty of men in tho party who could have given the required bond, and from this class the Treasurer should have been selected. The State of Ohio imposed upon its Treasurer a bond of one million of dollars, and there was no reason why the Treasury of South Carolina should not be protected in eoch a manner as to ensure the public faith and credit. W. J. Whipper said it was with little hope of counteracting the influences at work that he spoke in favor of the amendment. Whatever might be the decision of the House, he desired to enjoy the satisfaction of having opposed a change of the bouda of the treasurer even one cent. While entertaining the kindest feelings personally for the person elected, he felt satis? fied that ne could not be inducted into the of? fice, with or without bonds, without material injury to the credit of .the State. He had al-, ready tendered bonds which wore of "straw," and however lamentable the fact might be, it had gone int obis tory. Without charging dis? honesty on the treasurer elect, what did such a th'.ng look like ? It waa an attempt to plaoe an utterly irresponsible man at tho head of the treasury of the State, and whatever course might be pursued with reference to this bill, tho Legislature was individually responsible for it. He knew how thoroughly the House had been tampered with and appealed to, but thia was ft question which involved tho v?sry existence of the party. He was willing to go as far as any man in reducing the binds of officials, bnt did the members desire to have it said that the man they elevated to tho treasury of the State, took control of thc effics with straw bonos, which it was necessary for the Governor to annul? A. J. Ransier said that he, too, favored the amendment. A large portion of the m en who had boen elected to office could not give bonds; legislation might remedy this evil; it was a poor mon's party; but when an individual, elected to so important a position as Treasurer of the State hos, by one act, already impaired tho credit of the State and aroused the sus? picion of capitalists, for one he would rather sacrifice the man to the porty than the party to the mon. Uneer the circumstances vrhicn bod already transpired, be did not believe I that the reduction of this particular bond would work any good to tho State, and, conse? quently, no good to the party. They wanted tho confidence of capitalists; without it the in? terests of the State must suffer, and the party itself bc injured. On motion of T. K. S as por ta 3 (colored) further consideration woe postponed until Monday at ll A. M. The House then adjourned. _J OGIKR.-Died, on the evening of July 13, 18C8, WILLIE, only son of Dr. W. G. and E. 8.
