VOLUME VII.-NUMBER 1088. CHARLESTON, S. C., TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 23, 1869. SIX DOLLARS PER ANNUM BY TELEGRAPH. WASHINGTON. ANOTHER VETO-THE COPPER TARIFF-THE MEM? PHIS AND EL PASO PACIFIC RAILROAD-EXTEN? SION OF THE LETTER CARRIER SYSTEM-CAUCUS ?F RADICAL SENATOR3 -ELATION OF THE SOUTH? ERN PACIFIC RAILROAD MEN. WASHINGTON, Februars 22.-Senator Sauls bury fell from his carriage to-day and had his leg broken. The President has vetoed the Copper Tariff bill. IN THE HOUSE, thc following bills wore in? troduced under the regular call: Recognizing the indepeadenca of Cuba; devoting the public lands in Alabama to internal improvements. A joint resolution granting the right of way to the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific Railroad, from El Paso to thc Pacific, was passed by a vote of 122 to 45. In discussing ibo prccedoucc of business, it was stated that the Legislative, Judiciary and Poatoffice appropriations were ponding, and there are seveu priviloRod repor's from committees which may provoke debate. V Scheuck's bill to strengthen thc public credit was considered without action. Tho House went into committee on tho Post office Appropriation bill. . Tho letter carrying system is extended to cities having ten thou? sand inhabitants. The bill was passed, when the House took a recess. General Breckinridge is here, and leaves to? night to seo his children at Washington Col? lege. In replying to tbe committee inviting him to Baltimore, Mr. Johnson said his whole aim had been for the general crood of the country without regard to any present or future popu? larity. His constant aim was tho restoration of prosperity to the country and tho happiness and peaco of all its citizens. In vetoing the Copper bill tho President BHJ-8: "The bill would diminish tbe public re? ceipts and impose an additional tax on an overburdened people, who should not be fur? ther impoverish...d that monopolies may be fos? tered and corporations enriched. It would be detrimental to tho shipping interest, and would incroaso the price of blue vitriol, which enters into many industries, seventy ^er cent. The depression in copper mining is attributa? ble to tho newly d?scovercd?rich mines and the substitution of other materials for copper, hence the tariff, instead of fostering into exist? ence a new industry, would Bimply be impos? ing a perpetual tar. on tho people to support an unprofitable business." Thore was a senatorial caucus this after? noon. Twenty-two senators voted to postpone action on the Tenure-o?-office bill till noxt ses? sion. There is hope that with the aid of tho Democrats an unconditional repeal may be se? cured. The friends of tho Thirty-second Parallel Road are much elated over thc action of the House to-day, claiming that tho vote indicates a determination on the part of tho House to foster Southern interests. a t CUB Alf AFFAIRS. _\ GOVERNMENT ISSUE OF PAPER MONEY GUARAN- ] ' TEED B?

C., February 22.-It is well understood that tho Supreme Court sustains tbe injnnotion against thc Chatham Railroad. lt is supposed that this decision cuts off near? ly twelve millions of ! ecent appropriations. The Legislature is engaged on tho Rovcnue bill, but adjourned early to-day in hoaor of Washington's birthday. -at SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. The observance of yesterday as a puhlic holiday seems to have been very general in the leading cities of the Union. A called mooting of the Radical Stato Central Executive Commut?e, at Atlanta yesterday, resulted in a squabble and broke up in contu? sion. A number of the members of the Southern Press Convention were rn New Orleans yester? day, as the guests of the St. Charles Hotel. . ADVERTISING TESTED.-An Atlanta paper, in the course of an article on tho value of adver? tising to business men, 6ays : A merchant in Macon, who had been suc? cessful for yours, concluded at tho bet;inniug of ono year that he would try tho vu-tue of ad? vertising. That year ho spant eighteen huu dred dollars with the printers, and his own tes? timony is, that he did threo ti n?s the amount of business that he evor d;d before in thc same length oi tame. He still keo s his naino and business prominent in tho papers, and finds his profits stjadily increasing. Other mer? chants of Macon, witnessing tho success of this house, follow jd its example, und now thc Macon papers are among the host patronized iii'tba Stato, and the bus ness men of that etty arVamcng the most substantial in the Sou..i. We happen to be abk> to testily to tho truth ot this stitemont in every paracttlar. For the size ot the plaee, thcro ia moro advcrtis.ng done in Macon than in any other city of the South, and hence her extraordinary prosperity eince the closo of the war. Tho name of nearly every merchant and business man in the city is- to be found in her daily paper?; not occasionally and condensed imo "the smallest possible space, as it the parties were afraid somebody would find out where they arc, but regularly, system iticaLy aud prominently, and in maoy instances with an apparent disre? gard of cost. They kuow what they are at, and go into the papers and stay there because it pays. The result is practically demonstra? ted-in tho rapid growth of business and accu? mulation of fortunes. -Tho manager of the Paris Hippodrome re? cently sent an agent to Southern Russiu for tbe purpose of engaging a number of tho Cos? sacks of the Don to ?ive equestrian performan? ces at the Hipp >drome. Theasent had been quite successful, bec the Russian Government? interfered and peremptorily ordered the Cos? sacks to stay at home. ON THE WING.

[FBO? CUB 0WX COBBESPON'jEXT.J BENNETTSVILLE, February 15.-The road from Society Hill to Beunettsville, although only about thirteen miks, has always appeared to me much longer. Nine milos of river swamp will tire even the most patient traveller. To bo sure, the road is in pretty fair condition ju3t at this time, tuc 1 have travelled it frequently when it was otherwise Marlboro" iu olden times was wont to be considered, for its size, one of the wealthiest districts in thc State; i. e. hy those who knew anything of tue exist? ence o? such a place. For Marlboro' was away off in a comer, remote from the main thor? oughfares, and to very many psople in South I Carolina a ierra incognita. In spite of this however, Marlboro' grew and prospered. Her people grew iu wealth, intelligence, virtue and all thc refinements of an enlightened civilization. Churches were built and school-house?, from one end of her border to thc other; and as to planting, I do not think any part of our State could boast of a mure scientific system of agriculture than this eamc Trans-Peedeo District. Some of tho largest cotton Clops of our State used to como from Marlboro'. Althoagh, as I said, Marlb_.ro' was remote from the great thoroughfares, it did not escape thc ravages cf Sherman's hordes. The "great march" lay through the very heart of thc district, and great was thc devastation in consequence. Tho traces of vandalism are still numerous along that "swath," and man,) of the poor sufferers have not yet recovered from that visitation. The number of horses, mules, cattle and swine drivon off; tho amount ol' bacon and other eatables taken or destroyed; tho cafton, gin houses, store-houses, implements, etc., burned or'rendercd useless, is something stupendous. I do not know that Marlboro' suffered worso ia this respect than many othor parts of the State; but I do know that it will be some years yet before all trace of this Christian mode of warfare is effacod here. Bennettsville, the county seat, was built in or about 1822, and named after the late Gov? ernor Bennett. Tho village has grown but slowly, and is, I presume, now not much lar per or more populous than it was twenty years ago. A few merchants, lawyers and physicians, with a sprinkling of mechanics, constitute thc popu? lation of the villoge. There were, ho .ve vcr, generally a number of wealthy plantors living 1 within six or seven miles of Bennettsville, who : virtually contributed to the character and soci- ( oty ot tao place. Like every othor community in the State, tins also has seeu great changes , during the last few years. Daatb has removed some or the most revered names iron the ros- , ter, an'onsr them Mr. A. H. Douglass. Dr. W. . Crosland, General John McQueen, Mr. John lleCoUom, and Rev. Thomas Cook, all old \ and usetul citizens, who had coutributed ma? terially to create a healthy public sentimeut ? here. The war, with its"concomitant upheaval ' ur tii-g-iuuaaactoo atones or ?di ILsyclety, h??b left sad footprints here ; ind aa ?verywuen; ( sise throughout our stricken Southern land, so , tiero you may see the most striking instances, j ind most distressing, of thc vicissitudes of for- , iutio. Thoy who-wero rich are now poor, and ? nany who before were penniless, now rank j tri th the nabobs of the land. Mai- boro', I believe, is the only district in , South Carolina tliut can claim thc proud pre- ', ammenco of not having had any spirituous li- . quors sold within ber borders for some thirty- j years. The commissioners refused to grant li? censes, and Bennettsville not having been in- , corpoiated until after the wir, tho commis- ( pioners had full control in all such matters. I , do not know whether this regulation Btill ob? tains hore or not; but I know that for thirty ( years it was not lawful for any one to sell a dr op ol intoxicating drink in Marlboro'. This, on the whole, speaks well for the community; for unless the commissioners had been sup? ported by public opinion, the regulation could not have remained in loree so long. Of course a little of the "critter" is sold on the sly now and then by the canvas-covered wagons from North Jaroltna that cruiso thiougb (hedistrict; and, if I am correctly informed, the-e same itinerant whiskey peddlers are very liberally patronized by the thirsty freedmen in the rural naris hereabout. With such a moral basis, you will not bc sur- I prised to learn that churches, schools and sons j of temperance divisions have flourished hore beyond what we were aeoustomed to seo in some other parts of tho Slate. Bennettsville his three churches-Methodist, Rev. 0. B~. Pritch? ard pobtor; Baptist, Rev. J. ?. W. Thomas; and Presbyterian supplied by Rev. Dr. Corbett, of Cheraw. The Bennettsville Journal, a weekly paper, is tho only vehicle of political or literary intel? ligence published within tho county. It is edited by William Little, Esq., a young gentle? man formerly of Charleston, who. with a thor? ough familiarity With the piintinz business in all its varied branches, combines a Knowledge of thc law, which greatly enlurges the sphere of his useful labors. Of notabilities, Beuncttsvilk can boast Chan? cellor Wm. D. Johnson, who has DOW retired from public life, and devotes Lis time and ener? gies lo the cultivation of thc soil. Unlike most of Ins brethren, Mr. Johnson >s a good plautcr as well as a good jurist. Colonel C. W Dudley, formerly State Senator, now Assessor of Inter? nal Revenue, is also an old a:.d loading citizen o?Heuncttsv?lc. Major B.D. .townsend, until recently one of the most public spirited of its citizens, now lives ut Sooicty Hill. lu this connection, it may also not "bo improperio mention tho efforts put forth by thc last named gentleman and Chancellor Johnson toward improving the horticulture and arboriculture ot the diatnet. With a generous rivalry worthy of all praise and of imitation, these two gentlemen have spent years of labor, and large sums of money, in demonstrating to their fellow-citizens the fact that excellent fruit, aud in large quantities, con be grown upon our soil. I hope, ere long to hear that theso splen? did orchards will become ?. source of largo profit to their owners. Marlboro', perhaps, as much as any other district in thc State, before tho war at least, showed the extremes of wealth and po? verty. Here was first tue "aristocracy" Dear the river, opposite Cheraw; next, tho .nistoera cy of ?eunettSY?lo, and thirdly, the uristoi of Mm-ral Springs, to say nothing of wealthy and "well-io-du" plan era in ali tho moro fertile patts of the district. 0>.i tho other hand, you may sec here representatives of the class vmi ously nominated ns "poor whites,'' "flttwoods people," ..sand-hillew," &o. Tho first of th-se terms is generic; tho cth.r two aro specific, dc-uoting classes widely varying m their char aetcrisucs. As this cias-< of tit ''opie 0? Soufh Carolina bas attracted c>n?ide?au' attoution nineo the war in the periodical publications ot th? North, I first from a paper in tho ..Galaxy," Dy tl. li. Seabrook, Esq., of Charleston, oui afterwards from a senes of articles publwhod by Captain D .'Forest, United States Anny, in "Harper's Magazine 'the "Atlantic"and"Lippiucott."on the "Grsat Southern Family or (ho Bill ir-im monsjs,'' I will, with the permission ol j.?ir readers, offer a few obs rvations on tL.s 6irago* ethnological problem. I have before mo several letters, written by gentlemen who have had lo'.ig and favorable opportunities lor closely observing the=e pariahs of Southern society. Correspondent No. 1, living a few miles be? low Bennettsville, writes as follows concern? ing tho "Flatwood's People :" "As to their condition they by some meaus acquire posses? sion ol' a cabii? with some cleared land around ii, which the proprietor considers of n > value to h'm and permits them to occupy. Some? times when he would much prefer they should bc away, consider.iticos of charity toroid his ejecting them. They contrive '.o make a scan? ty subsistence, spmciimcs by livin: v. ry hard, by getting shingles und Spli- bo.f's, oi-ca aionally hewing timbers tor a ht/n .<. by tier? ing, undia tho fall by picking out 'ot'.on tor their more prosperous teigbbora. Their wo men in former times nsed to spin cotton for people, when they had character enough to be trusted with the raw material, and &omct<mcs now they manufacture a little domestic soap to bartar for necessaries. Their habits aro decidedly indoloot, seldom seeking regular em? ployment for hire; but if any, some small jobs which they can do at thou: leisure, and wtien want begins to piuch them. Their women often appeal to the sympathies of their more prosperous neighbors for charity, under the form of advance payment for work to bo per? formed at a futuro time. Their morals, as might be supposed, are bad, being generally dishonest, and addicted to intemperance and its kindred vices. Grimes are seldom commit? ted by them beyond tho grade of misdemean? ors. Tho intelligence of this class is low, few anions? them being able to read or write. Io, point of numbers there are perhaps twenty fam? ilies or more of this class inhabiting tue flat lands, south of Bennettsville. It is not pre? tended that this description answers alike to all ot them; ?orno are rather more industrious, and not so depraved and vicious as others. When they seek employment from their neigh? bors of the better class, they are often unsuc? cessful, bocau.-c association with them, even temporarily, is repulsive; but whenever they exhibit virtuous traits ci' character and indus? trious habits, they lind good places without difficulty." Correspondent No. 2 writes: "You ask me to give you some description of our 'flat woods' and 'Sandhill' people. The former are very ignorant and degraded, indeed, they seem to have no higher ambition than barely to subsist. They have "o reg ular employment, and only work whci ali their ingenuity in loaf? ing and scheming bas been expended. They will then make a contract to perform so ?ne ser? vice, which tli2y have no intention to comply with, if they can possibly avoid it. If they can secure any temporary supplies under such contract, before tho work is done, they will work no more at that place, but roly upon play? ing rho same game at another. They live in tho flatwoods, because n body else has any uso for such locations. Their houses aro of tho rudest, coarsest kind, and their interior exhib? its all the poverty and wretchedness which .such babita must*necessarily produce. They arc a'tvaysou band in times of elections, and make a good deal out of thc candidates. They show no ambition to educate their children, or to make them industrious, and seem to care very little about going to church. They foim a commuuity pretty much to themselves. Their women spend ? great deal of their timo in strolling idly about tho couutry. But with ail the temptations to dishonesty they do not steal, and they havo a certam pride about them which causes them to think that they aro just about as good as anybody else. They make no effort at improvement, ?ind will prob bably remain just as they aro. They arc not, however, very numoroue. '.'Ibo tktndhWersoccupy a considerable area in tho upper part of Marlbaro', and ar" really good citizens in au hurablo way. The lands are poor, but they cultivate them, aud manase to live by their industry. Some ot thom aro very energetic, and are trying to risc in tho world. Tho 'schoolmaster is amongst them, and most of them can read and write, and they havo the advautago of sume intercourse with Hie higher classes of society, to bc found on ? tho better lauds in their ncighborhool. They are genorally honost and well disposed people", 1 fond of going to church, and anxious to be i thought web of by tho people genorally. Many ( of them aro very poor, wu h but very preca? rious means of subsistence, but they "manage to got along somehow. Tbe greater number ' of them, however, live well and pay their 1 debts; and many of them, tkongh not well j educated, have acquired considerable informa? tion, and upon thu wSole, they aro a good ' population. Very few of them emigrate, or I ssem to loot else were for better opportunities j sr advancement. They are of many shades of Bomptaxion. "Botb classes together (Flatwood3 and J ?andhillcrs), form perhaps oiio-fourtli of tho 1 irhite nouulation nf ?Urlb.-uo'." I hope none of my readers at a distance will , :otue to ino conclusion noni ino IUUTO CA ;racts that Marlboro' enjoys a monopoly of i hts sort of population. This would bo very y .inj ust to Marlboro', and at the same time not . ?0 accordance with fact. Tho "poor white" is onnd moro or less iu ovary county in the Stato, 1 .hough conning on the wbolo but a very incon- 1 liderablo numerical constituent of the popula lion. I do not agree with my sccoud corres- 1 pondent in Iiis opinion that they will always 1 ".ontiuue m their present degraded condition, j No class can escape the march of improvement, , winch I behove has now fairly set io; and how- . 3ver taidy aud unwilling, thc o drones most mid will take their placo in thc great social workshop, or bo exterminated, ibero will of ? course be always poor poop lo, and indolent people, and vicious people; hut the days of tho traditional ,-poor wh.tc,"I feel satisfied, arc 1 numbered. His existence at all has boen one ? of tho outgrowths of our Into social system, which, now that the cause is removed, must soon disappear. Marlboro' D strict, according to thc census i of 1860, made 13 896 bales of cotton. Her pro? duction now is not over 8000-of which nnm ber about 2000 or 3000 bales arc sold io Bc . nettaville. Before the war as many as 5000 bales were sometimes purchased in thai village. The number of acres of laud nndor cultivation in 1860 wa3101 000, and of unimproved hud 201,U00 acres. The cash value of farms at that time is put down at $4,000,000. Value of farming im? plements and machinery $1G2,000. Thc number of horses, according to tho same authority, was 1555; of mules 1231; of milch co .vs 2531; of work, ng oxen 321, with 3214 other cat tie; sheep 84,875. and swine 23 937. i'ho value of tho live ali e!; is given at $510 000. Tho amount of wheat raised in IStiO was 12 8!W bushel-; 3048 bushels or rye; 315,2^2 or corn; 38,000 of oats; 21,000 pounds of rice, and 86.000 bnslield ot sweat potatoes. The population in I860 was 12/134, of wtiom CS93 were slaves. Lauds have much improved in value during tho past twelve months, but un thu wuolu cau nor. yet be consul -red as bringing even the half of their au'x-bel uni value. Things arc, however, louting up; and from all I seo and hear, 1 venture the remark, that Marlboro' appears to be getting out ol' her dilheulties rather faster than many other parts of the State. Tho people? are working with a hearty good will, all anxious to raise a largo crop of cotton, and sell it at a good price. .Wu that ?hoy are mercenary; they tire only desirous of e.-tablishing themselves once mc re on a good and firm specie basis. Bennettsville, before the war, was a good place for business, and sold a large quantity ot goods. It bad then two bank .agencies-ono of ihc Bank of Georgetown, and the other of tho Merchants' Bank of Cheiaw. The busi? ness of the village is now moro divided. lhere arc more stores thiough tho country, though Bennettsville still has a fine trade. The lead? ing merchants at present ?ire: Wm. Murchi? son, 1'. L. Breeden 4 Co., Bowe Brothers, and Mr. Boper. Judge Rutland held court here a few weeks ago, end from all I hear gave satisfaction to all concerned, except tho criminals. Who can tell? Maybe a reconstructed Judge is the best mau io expound a reconstructed constitu? tion, and administer reconstructed laws. Marlboro' hitherto hus had no railroad, but this reproach is now lo be taken Lum lier. Tho Chatham Itailroul, from Cberaw to Raleigh, is to ru i about len miles through Marlboro' County, and will, I have, no doubt, greatly enhance the value of thc lauds in that section. Unfortunately, however, it is through tue poorest part of the county that this rail? road w.ll run. Oi ber r dlread projects are talked of occasionally hora, aa they aro everywhere uow-a-days, b.it I sec no near prospect or probability ol' then realization.
