Some Farther Accounts of the Wonder?

.-\ Prediction by Professor Lieber
Furnaces and Rolling Mills-Water
Power, dtc.
[FBOM AN OCCASIONAL COBBE8PONBENT. ]
SPABTANBUBQ, February 10. -Your corres?
pondent, "Bird's-Eyo," while passing "on tho
wing" through our county has certainly seized
and well portrayed some of the strong points
in our position and resources. Perhaps you
may bo willing to h ?ar occasionally trom one
on the perch. I had not tho pleasure of read?
ing tho "Pacolet" letter to which he refers, and
may, perhaps, repeat some it o ai s whiou were
in it. There is a remarkable pissage in Lie
ber'sroport (1857), which shows how ho waB
impressed by a professional survey of the
mineral resourees of our section:
'"There is groat reason to believe that, uta
future day, tbe northeast ?omer Of Spartan
burg and tho northwestern portion ol' York,
with a small portion of Union, will form a high?
ly unpottant mining district, in which tbe iron
oro beds, to which it bas hitherto owed ita
whole reputation as a mineral legion, will form
the least important rSsources ot woalih and
prosperity. Tho population will bo entirely
changed, and the scattering shanties of iron
ore quarrymon and charcoal burners will ?ive
place to the thriving villages of industrious
mechanics and miners. This district would be
enclosed bv a semi-circle, having the point
where the Broad River enters our State for its
centre, and the distance thence to King's Moun?
tain as radius, and would therefore cover about
eighty square miles. Such a remark may ap?
pear to many readers to be overdrawn and too
highly colored. Yet it is tbe result of a careful
inspection of the region."
Thia eastern part of our country is nearly all
an iron bed. The iron and other mineral oree
are found associated with tho mica slate,
which overlies tho goeiss in this part of the
country.
Lieber was strook with the itacolumite (flex?
ible sandstone) formation here. Of about
eighty square miles of this rock in the State,
forty square miles are in S par tan burg. This
rook is elsewhere (as in Brazil) found associat?
ed with diamonds. Those iron regions attracted
attention even in the revolution. Early in thin
century a farnaco was in operation near the
Cowpen's battle ground, which is gixleen miles
northeast of the courthouse. In 1832, tho
company selected a beautiful shoal on Pacp
let, eight .miles east of our town, and bunt
the Rolling's Mille. -Of this company, Simpson
Bobo^of our bar, was an. original stockholder,
and in addition, has been for .many years the
agent Of the South Carolina Iron Manufactur?
ing Company. Th? Rolling Mills are connected
with the Cowpous Furnace, twelve, miles dis?
tant, by a little railroad with hors?}Wor, per?
haps the large&t road ?of thekirj?? m the country^
I" Oxio part of the county ia tho Brnngsville
Cotton Factory, on Lawson's Fork, four milos
east of the courthouse. It stands on the site
of an old iron mill, burnt in the Revolution. It
was built br a company chartered in 1887, with
a capital of one hundred thousand dollars.
The present proprietors have built since the
war a magnificent brick building near the old
wooden one, hgt higher up OD the hill side, BO
as to be above tbe reach of high water.3
The following list of a few of our Bhoals is
Crom Mill's Folio Atlas, from which Lieber co?
pied it into his report alluded to above : Cher?
okee Falls, Pacolet, 8 feet in i chains; Rolling
Mills, Pacolet, 16 feet in 40 chaius ; Cannon's
Mill, Paeolel, 10 feet in 8 chains ; Paoolet
Springs, Pacolet, 12 feet in 10 ohains ; Trough
jhoals, 20 feet in 60 ohaiis; Bivingsville, Law?
son's Fork, 25 feet in-; Mountain Shoals,
Ennoree, 85 feet in 21 chains.
We hope a more complete hst may be given
it no distant day. Few portions of our wide?
spread couutry are more favored in water pri?
vileges. May you and I live to soe tao day
when all our mountain streams will leap sea?
ward to the music of a thousand wheels on

COMPETITION BETWEEN OOEAN STEAMEBS.
The City of Paris, ot the Inman Lino, lett her
look at fifteen minutes before two o'clock yes
?erday afternoon, and Bpod nor course beauti
lully down tho bav, passing the Russia, of the
Junard line, which had just taken on board the
nails, and which followed forty-five minutes
ifterwards. The speed of both tn ese vessels
leroHt; the Atlantic will bo looked for with
rreat interest, as great rivalry exit ts between
,be different English fcteauiship Companies to
lecuro the subsidy, which tho Cunard hue has
ntherto obtaiued for transporting the English
nails to thia country. Should the City of Paris
weather rival in this trip there will be no little
jommotion in the lobby of the House of Corn
nous, as the subsidy may be transferred i.i
consequence to the Inman Line. When the
3ity ol Paris beat the Cuba about a year ago, it
vas urged by tbe, Cunard Company that the
.ace was not a fair test, as the Cuba was the
ilowest mail steamer on the one side, while the
Jity of Paris was the lastest on the other,
"int no such objection can be mado now; for
he Russia is considered among the "crack"
'easels of the Cunard line. There is "onsider
ible betting on the result-the odds being
lightly in favor of the City of Pavla.-New

The Cheraw Democrat says : Genoral E. B.
C. Cash met with a serious loss by the late

celts. The General has a great fancy for fine
horses and other stock, and owned some of tbe
best in this country. They were pasturing in
the low grounds, and became hemmed in by
the high waters.
When they were found, they wero standing
in water up to their necks. General Cash had
gone out, with others, in two boats to find
them, and undertook to lead a mure, bebind
the boat, thinking the others would* follow.
The mare finally sank the boat the Genoral
was in, and all hands were compelled to swim
for the nearest trees, where wet, cold and ex?
hausted, they were found by tho occupants of
the other boat, just in time to save their lives.
It was really a narrow escapo from death. A
ncgro carno very near dyinn in thc course of
the adventure, and it is believed that nothing
but the General's self-sacrificing efforts in his
behalf preserved his fife. While in a tree,
scarcely able to hold on, this negro was to be
cared for,' and there was nothing for him to
stand upon except to put bis foot upon Gene?
ral Cash, and remain there until help oame.
No doubt the loss in other localities was con?
siderable.

arrival, as residents of our town, several of our
sturdy farmers with their families. They move
into town for the better facilities in schooling
their childron."
The News says: "The Sheriff was relieved of
five of his prisoners on the 6th instant. He
had in. his employ a darkey jailor, who is, it is
now believed, the 'liberator.' of all the prison
oners who have escaped from our jail for the
last six months.. On last Saturday he unlocked
the cell door, deliberately let five prisoners of
the most notorious character make their es?
capo, and followed them himself. He has been
caught."
To show what Orangeburg has done in buy?
ing and shipping cotton and rice this season, the
News gets up tue following statistics and chal?
lenges any town in the State of the samo size
and population to beat it: Cotton bought and
shipped at OrangebuVg from September 15th,

months-bales 9117, averaging 830 pounds at
twenty-two oems uer pouud - $260 081 90.
Bongil rico bought and shipped same date

Total value of eolian and noe-$340,931 90.
The News adds: There is st ill a large amount
of cotton held on hand by our farmers, and
. at least 60,000 bushels of rico.
The Mews gives the following account of a
dastardly outrage : Late on the afternoon of
the 9th instant, a rail on the track of the South
Carolina Railroad, a short distance above Stil?
ton, was discovered torn up mid displaced, and
the spikes missing. Tue rail Was replaced in
proper drd?r and a watohman placed to guard
the traok in that vicinity. On the evening of
the 10th instant, tbs rail wm again displaced,
about six inohes, just sufficient to throw the
train on the ?ross ties. The wat ohman dis?
covered a man making of? from tho track near
the place where the rail was discovered moved,
and would have shot him, but foi fear he would
not t>? justified in so doing. He could not tell
on account of the darkness whether ho. waa
white or black. Captain MoEewn, the super?
visor, tra? immediately notified of tho occur?
rence, and sent hands up and bad the track
fixed just before th i arrival of the down night,
train. There is a heavy down grade at Stil?
ton, an embankment at least twolvo foot high,
ana a ditch tour feet wide by three or four
deep. If the villain had succeeded ia his dia?
bolical purpose of throwing the oar from ?the
traok a terrible smash up would have occurred
with serious loss of life. Fifty dollars reward
is offered by Captain McKbwn, supervisor oZ
the railroad, for the arrest of the villain.

THE SCAFFOLD,
Execution of Whelan, the Murderer of
li'Arcy Mide*, at tittawa, Canada
Canso of t he Crime-The Trial and Con -
vlotion-Statement of tue Prison* r.
A dispatch dated Ottawa, Canada, February
ll, gives the following account of tho execution
of Janies Whelan, for the assassination of the
Hon. Thomas D'Arcy McGee :
THE CAUSE OF THE CRIME.
An Irishman by birth, and of very respecta?
ble parentage. Thomas D'Arcy McGee at an
early age omigrated to the United States, and
for somo timo pursued the profession of
journalist, in Boston. After tho lapse of
a few years ho returned to Ireland, be?
came attached to the Dublin Nation,
but being in some way connected with tho
revolutionary otitbreak of 1818, was oompollod
to leave bis native land and seek refuge in the
United States. He remained in New York for
awbilo, and then removed to Montreal, where
he ever after resided. In Canada Mr. McGee
attained a high position in political life, and
from being a warm republican became an ardent
royalist. When tho Fenian movement com?
menced, he severely denounced and used all of
bis influence against it. Thc posit ion be took
on this question made him unpopular with thc
masses of his countrymen in che United States
and Canad.!, and ho was either expelled or
torced to resign bis membership of tbe St. Pa?
trick's Society of Montreal. As later develop?
ments prove, soon after he announced his op?
position to the Fonians, a plot was formed to
assassinate bim.
THU; M CROKU.
At half-past two o'clock on tho morning of
the 7th of April last, M&McGee left the Par?
liament buildiugs at Ott%wa on his return home
to his lodgings, on Sptfrks-street. There Lpd
been a night Beasion,^^a?Uament, and he had
delivered a very ablo and jggj&uenfc speech on
tho subject ol thc attitudo OT?J?bv*< Scotia 60
ward the"Dominion. A i?umTierofpersons left
the buildings at about the s?meosme be did,
among them a lad named WillianTTrotter, one
of the pages of tbe House of Cohimons, and a
son of Mr. McGoo's landlady. Just before
leaving the Parliament grounds tho report of a
pistol was heard, and on the lad arriv?
ing near his mother's house, be found
the murdered man lying on the ei do walk.
He immediately gave the alarm, and on
persons reaching tho scene Mr. McGee breathed
a few times aud ? then expired. Soon ' after
Whelan was arrested. He was subsequently
tried and convicted. Every effort was made to
have the sentence mitigated, but without
avail. When tho unhappy man ascertained
that tb ero was no hope ho turned his attention
to -religion. Catholic priests and Sinters of
Mercy were constantly with him, administer?
ing those religious consolations which aro so
valued by persons of his faith. His behavior
was uniformly quiet and good.
THE EVENTFUL MORNING--A LARGE CROWD IN
ATTENDANCE.
The day was mild and sunshiny, the sky
blue and cloai. At an early hour there was
email appearance of a crowd, but by nine peo?
ple began driving in from tho country, and be?
fore ten, suddenly, as if by magic, fully ten
thousand were gathered. Au unusualy largo
proportion were boys and women. At the par?
lor windows ot tlie few respectable houses
wnich dot the open country behind the jail
overlooking the soaffold were gathered many
ladies of high et anding. Police and soldier's
pressed back the crowd from the walls, but
could not keep them clear. Inside the court
were two companies of troops, with fixed
bayonets and loaded rifles.
THE PRISONER'S LAST HOUBS ON EARTH.
Whelan passed a bad night. About seven
UUlOOit nus G^.??i?? a-.-1 l.i.n ,ind ho Lui St
into an agony of tears, cry ?og t nat God had
toraaken hh?, and that he must diefOv another
sian's crane. Tho Bev. Fathers O'Connor and
Tabaret, who, witb the Sisters of Mercy, were
unremitting in their attendance, tried to cheer
him with the consolations of religion, and he
partook of the holy sacrament. Afterwards he
fell into a troubled sleep, occasionally crouch?
ing into the cell oorner and crying for the
watchers to Bave him. He bad bidden fare?
well to his wife affectionately in the evening.
At six o'clock this morning he awakened, had
a. cup of coffee, some toast and eggs, and passed
two hours in prayer, occasionally varied by a
wild burst of weeping, the priests meanwhile
exhorting him to courage. He dressed care?
fully in black, neatly brushed, with polished
boots and a green tie. In religions exercises
the time passed until a quarter past ten, when
the executioner arrived and inspected the pre?
parations. Whelan in his corridor, surrounded
by the priests and nuns, fell on bis knees and
fervently reoited prayers after Father O'Con?
nor.
THE OFFICIALS ANT) EXECUTIONER.
The corridor doors were opened and the
sheriff announced that the hour for the execu?
tion had arrived. AU heads were bared, and
some of the spectators within the prison were
deadly faint and Bick. The sheriff was dressed
in blaok, witb a cocked hat and sword; the
jail governor in blaok. The executioner was
clad in a blue jaoket and pantaloons, with a
striped red and white oap. His oape was
closely swathed with blaok crape. He was
young, lithe and active. His hands and feet
and features, so far as distinguishable through
the orape, were delicate as those of a woman,
and a woman many take this executioner to
have beeuvi
ARRIVAL OF THE PRISONER-HIS SPEECH.
Whelan walked firmly, although his mouth
twitched nervously, and the fingers of his pin?
ioned hands s trovo to gripe each other hard.
Father O'Connor prayed aloud, and Wh lan re?
sponded mechanically, in a voice that was
trembling and husky: '-Christ have moroy upon
us." His eyes and choeks were swollen, but
his faoe otherwise pallid. He advanced to the
drop and took his place firmly. He said:
"Jfji Friends and FeVovy-tx>unlrymeh-l ad?
ir?s s a few words to you upon this solemn oc?
casion. I hope you will pardon this my oft on co.
This is my hope-that yon v. ill forgive me. I
ask it from the bottom of my heart in this sol?
emn hour, and from all whom I have injured
by word, act or deed, I ask forgiveness for the
same. God Bave Ireland 1 God save my soul !'>
THE EXECUTION.
The executioner, drew down tbe oap over his
jyea and placed the noose round his nook, and
.vit h hiB white, dry lips still muttering a prayer,
?viieu least expected, the drop fell and Whol an
vas launched into eternity. -He fell six feet.
His feet kioked together once. His hp dy
vibrated for less than a minute and he was
lead. The drop fell at nine minutes past
?leven o'clock precisely. The crowd dispers ed
nost quietly.
