Some Farther Accounts of the Wonder? ful Juin? val Resources of Spartanhnrg .-\ 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 ;heir banka. Of other points in tho old Iron District, more hereaftor. ENNOBEE. 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 York Herald of Thursday. A "New CHAMPION."-We notice by reports >f several btate and County Fairs, that a new m am pion, though not anew machino, is be? soming notorious by carrying off undue pro ? iori iou o of "first premiums.''

It appears ndeed incapable ot getting out of order, and ve can readily oredit the declaration that some javo boen in uso five years without; ever get? ting out of complete working condition. [Christian Adv?cale and Journal, -Lottere received in Washington, direct from the commander of the revolutionary party in Cuba, dated io his ea mp, contain as? surance that even as now armed, the insurrec? tionists oan hold out against the Spanish, forces, and that all they need to make the rev? olution a positiv? success is mor? artillery, which they are hoping will be sent them by their friends outside of tho island. Tbe repre? sentatives of tho revolutionists in Washington we stitt pressing our government tot r?cogni? tion as belligerents. -Major McKnight, better known in the lite? rary world as "Asa Har la," died on Wednes? day last in New Orleans. Major McKnight was the author of several beautiful pieces of poetry, some of tbe most striking of which were written whilst he was a prisoner of war at Johnson's Island.

Tlioy nave be? gun work this year much .bettor than any pre? vious year since their emancipation. Even tho women, in many instances, have contracted as field hands. A bettor feeling, seems to exist ' towards their employers. Altogether, the year has commenced in Union auspiciously. Anderson.

Richland. The wound is a painful one, but is not con? sidered dangerous. Governor Scott has appointed Thomas J. Lamotte, Esq., and Major Jesse G. Lykes, as magistrates xor the County of Richland.

Che sterile Id. The Cheraw Democrat says : Genoral E. B. C. Cash met with a serious loss by the late freshet in the drowning qt eight fine blooded 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. Orangcburg. The residenco of Mr. P. V* Dibble was dam amanred by bro last Tuesday to tho extent offtoO. Dr. W. N. Koanerly has takon up his res deuce and will practice iu Orangeburg. The County Commissioners aro proceeding rapidly in their work of laying out Orangeburg County into townships'' and have in their em? ploy tor that purpose five experienced sur? veyors. The Orangeburg News says: "We notice the 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, 1868, to February 1st, 1868-four and a half months-bales 9117, averaging 830 pounds at twenty-two oems uer pouud - $260 081 90. Bongil rico bought and shipped same date bushels-d4 OOO at $160 per bushel-$80 400. 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. .-T"-' THE CHARLESTON ORPHAN ASYLUM. [From tbe Yfaebi?'gtou Chronicle.)

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. 4STALL ARTICLES SOLD FROM THE MtabHsbment of WM. S. CORWIN * CO., No. 275 King-street, between Weat worth and Beeufain, are >f the FIBST QUALITY.
