All the efforts no* being so strenooualy pat forth is to obtain local control once more, and thoa again rebuild rebel power m the re? gion South.

It s.-ems tm's is exactly wbat m Oeing accomplished. This m the lessan of the YUKiaia election. Tennessee is sore to fellow SU?L Sen ter, it is almost certain, will be the next Governor of that State. If so, Andrew Johnson will he Fowler s eaccessor in the TJ?iied Mates Senate. Most are claiming that Dent will be elected Governor of Mississippi. If be should be so, it can only be at the cost of the Republican organisation. In Texas, I fear, we are going the same road. - Now, none of these resolta would have oc? curred oVco?rd do so, if from the ont it had been understood that tue Administration meant to stand hy the struggling Unionists, lam Unspeaking what is the sober truth, that ever sin co the 4th of March there has been a con? stant though not loud complaint made against the Administration by ail the Southern sena? tors and representatives. It seems, so this complaint rons, that it was this Administra? tion's desire to pass by tho men wbd have hon? estly borne the brant of the reconstruction strife, and so woo the hatred ot Southern poli? ticians, and either take the more unknown of these or import others to dil the Federal offices. Maybe all the countenance President Grant baa Riven to the Walker party in Virginia, the Senterltea io Teauessee, the Dentites ID Mississippi!, and the Hamiltonians in Texas, is what is afforded oy his reticence. Bot rc Republicans to consider their work done ? Are they prepared to torn the States over to their enemies ? If not, then we bave a right to ask something besides reticence, from the Execu? tive. The war is not eo tar behind03 that we can yet afford tn forget. At the pre jeni rate o'Derne craie o; Conser? vative su?ota wo ure rapidly iu?oriug tbe suc? cess of the Chate movement: There ia a grow? ing feeling of diesatistaciioa at toe political ."situation." Hundreds of letters are being received bei e. daily by prominent persons, members ot tbe Cabinet and others.exclaiming against- apparent supineness and reticence, and suggesting the disastrous effect ot the Virginia election. It is not too Ute to retrieve tho day; bnt we ought at ouce to have such au expression as will prevent the rebel editor Bar xa dale- from iiinrming, d*y ai ter day, iu ibe Jackson Clarion, that President Grant wishes Louis Dent to be elected Governor of Missts U aippi. when his Republican supporters ore less m than a thousand, and he is being heartily sop ported hy he rebels. One. ot the most demoralizing tendencies visib.'e m thia puaae of politics ia the personal character sought to be fastened on every con? test. We hear cf Walker and Walle, Berner and Stokes, of Dent, or ot Hamilton sud Davis. Tbe real is whether, having won the national fight, got a more tuan "apple tree" surrender, we shall turn round after this, our political Appomattox, and make a more tbsp disastrous Sherman Jobnsiou armistice, surrendering much of what we have dearly won. on renewed protestation of "accepting the situation." l'he parallel is a complete one.

THE STATE UMIVJCUSTTT. The Board of Trainees of this institution oas commissioned Dr. A. N. Talley-tho professor, of the principles and practice of medicine aol obstetrics-to parchase some apparatae for the foliar development of tho department? of | materia medica ?nd obstetrics. He left yes? terday flor Philadelphia, whence hs go-as to New York, to give ten days or two weeks to making those porch asea. This step by the board is clearly declarative of its policy aa to the medical department of the University; jost -as the recent election of. Professor Melton to the chair of law was de? clarative of its policy as to the department of | law. Both departments, as well as the aca? demic, are to be kept op at least at their pre? sent standards, anc the youth of the State,, looking to an education in any of the schools j of this, institut IUD, may make their arrange- j mente with this certainty in mind. irma. ' Velocipedes have varying fortunes. Snr. ! weeks ago they were quite in f .vor here. Tun rink ams a nosy place; often crowded. Then the interest fell off; until ten days ago the | keepers were left solitary. The velocipedes stood, day m and day oat, idle against toe walls. But soother change baa come. The negroes have taken to vek>cipedi?ing, and the . rink is crowded with them. Wi:it03 aro never j seen about there. Negro men an d'boys lounge, idle and ride all day, and antil late at night. They ans aa clumsy as calves, and laugh at each other without mercy. Every novios claims the attention of the dusky crowd, and shoots ol laughter greet every floundering trimble he makes. And his tumbling ls uni que. There is nothing else like it. He caa fall nearly all round a velocipede at one and Ute same timo; and when a tam ble sets in tbexe is no possi? bility of guessing what part of the negro is to strike the floor first. He falls all over him? self. The Piedmont Lifo Insurance Company bas established a branch st this place, the profits of which" are to be invested in this State.

My acquaintance with this place, j both before and during the war, place? me in? j a position to judge of any changes I might j see. X had not travelled far from Charleston j before I began to disco ver is the neatly white? washed cabins and well cultivated patches Of com and cotton, signs of marked improvemea*. i All along the line of railroad there was an ap- \ pearasce of neatness and thrift wuioh was < unusual in former days. The crops of cot- j ton, corn and potatoes, although in want ol ? rain, whioh they have had since, looked well, < clean and well worked. In thia neighborhood < (Aiken) the change is wonderful. Churches, j hotels and fine private mansion* are springing i up in various direct i ms. An 1 a fusion of North- ' ern capital, brought hither by invalida who como during the winter for the benefit of tho ? health-giving climate, has wrought this change I in tho aspect of tho town. The abolition of J slavery which has caused a more equal and > general division of labor, and the liberal uso 1 ot iertiTzera, are the cansos ol the very great ' improvement in agriculture. In my experi? ence in farming here, ia former yeais. 1 dis? covered that the sands hero were capable of | being soon enriched by manures, by their ca- 1 pacify of retaining wbatever was placed ia the ' soil. This has been lolly verified in the bcitu- - ti ful and promising crops I see around. Tho peach crop, always so uncertain, has in a great measure given place to the cotton, which it ; was once thought could not be grown herc by reason of its being so soon visited by frost. Bat by deep ploughing-bringing np tho clay which underlies the upper soil, to the surface and then applying to the aero from 300 to 500 poonda ol commet cul manured, the plants aro pushed forward sooner to froiunl maturity, and now are to bo seen luxuriant fields of cot? ton where a few yeats ago tho impress of ste? rility waa so strongly marked that few wore foond bold enoogh to attempt any cultivation. Labor here is as cheap again as it is on tho seaboard, and the laborers do twice as mach. This is caused by tho want of thoso resource*, of foxl which our rivers and bays supply be? low, and upon which the moro id io freedmen subsist. /Yere the Freedm.Mi's Bureau never lent its unspanng band tajeed thu lazy n_-gro. here, they were never ltd to believe that "forty : acres and a mu e" waa theo- new politic :1 bit- h right. Tho poor white is 'auder, kept for two years oat of his laud after the war was over exuaosted every cent he bad to keep his fam? ily from starving; and when ha d d drag him? self there, wear.v and almost of breath, il was 1 to find that there waa scaioeabonse let', to 1 cover his bead. Beared as he uad been in wealth 1 and refinement, he relapsed into despondracy. If old, he give up all for lost. It yu un cr auc ' ardent, he committed the greater folly of per- 1 illing all he was worth on the chances of a 1 single crop. But it is a long lane tba*' bas not ' a turn, and, thank God, that turu we have ? reached. The crop of this year will improve the condition ot the seaboard, and if the negro 1 will not work, John Chinaman will. But tho negro will work. Time and necessity will con viuce him that freedom does not consiBt in 1 idleness. Education will teach him that labor : 13 nonorabie-that as a put of God's, intelii-. 1 gent creation he has a mission assigned him I which he must peiform-that by a decree of ! an overruling Providence he is put cn i>ia.' to 1 fulfill the duties of a high and responsible m*n hood. Tbroo^h a sifting proa sa he must ; pass. The idle and dissolote will disappear; 1 bot the honest and industrious negro wil e v-r find a home and a friendship with the while man. M, TROUBLE IN EDOEFIELD. THE NEGRO MILITIA CALLED OUT. Scott Sends them Arms Crom Columbi?. THEY OCCUPY BDGEF1ELD COURTHOUSE. A SEBIE? OF RADICAL OUTBA2ES. Tile Au eua ta Chronicle and Sentinel of Son day sayt: On Saturday morning, while the Barnwell butchery WUB the universal topic of conversa? tion on the streets of oar city, another report of trouble m*anotheroomity of the same unfor? tunate btate, Sooth Carolina, was freely circu? lated. The rumors were of the most terrible character, and staled that a fierce conflict be? tween the whiles and blacks had taken place ou Friday at tho courthoi.se town of Edgeiteld Conuty; that Governor Scott bad called ont the oeero militia, ao 1 bad placed the county under martial law; that the militia, after a bloody contest with toe whites, had taken the towu and still held it ia their pos? session vAc. Atter a good deal of trouble oar repeiter managed to find a gentleman Inst from Edgofield Courthouse, who gave to bim toll particulars of the whole affair, bot stated that there bad been jap fighting np to the time of his leaving the village, though mach trouoie was antic pated. BJ ports : rom the passengers on the evening train of the Char? lotte, Colombia anddjnugusta Railroad confirm oar informants story, and we believe that oar readers will find it entirely correct. THE PROTLE OT EDOEFIELD 001KIT. Sinoe the rec instruction or Sooth Carolina and the establishment of negro government, the white people of Edgetield Comity, though all of them ardent Democrats, and, as each, bitterly opposed to the possession ol the State being turned over to a race of ignorant ne? groes and a few iafamom carpet-baggers and scalawags, bave been among the most quiet aud law-abiding citizens of the state. Though nearly all of the younger men were m the Con? federate army-where many of their number were alain-and were not disposed to look very kindly opon the i ew order of thin KB, yet, restrained by the example and advice of such San aa Bonham, Gary aad Butler, who nore slr generals daring the wir, they have care folly re framed from doing anything which would give to their enemies a pretext to op? press them. But it appears that their good conduct has been of no avail, and that the miserable brant, S:ott, and his underlings .have determined to drive them to desperation. HOW ISS TB 0 CB LE OBIQINATXD. Some weeks since there was a morder com? mitted m the county, and two negroes were the viet und. Though no proof was obtaiued as to who were the murderers, still three white men were arrested bv the county autborttfes apon suspicion and lodged in the jail at Ldgetietd Courthouse-ono of these men a one-armed Confederate soldier named Lamer. Despite the prompt arrest and meare? ration of these parties, the negroes living trou a tbe court? house were very much dissatisfied, and were loud ia their murmurs that Union men were shot down Uko dogs by rebel bushwhackers, and the criminals were allowed to go nnpun lBhed. A weite scalawag ni cn ed Euenberger, the coroner of the county, took the owl of die negroes, and is said to hare labored assidu ously to cause trouble between the races. ?hroorh the repr?sentations of this man, it is leged that four detectives were sent to the county from Columbia to work ap the case. THE E. E. E. BUB* THE CT) BO NEB. a. Seme lime after all this had happened, a few thoughtless lads ot the village assembled one night, and, after making a figure of Btraw into some fa.nt resemblance of "old Eta en berg er," took tbe effigy oat a short distance from town and made or it a jolly good bonfire. When the Coroner waa informed of this aol of a parcel of boys, be pretended to be very mee ii alarmed, and to fear that hts loyal life was endangered by the machinations of the rin-Klux. Hastily packing up bis traps, he repaired, by private conveyance, to Columbia, and poured forth his grievances into the willing esr of the Slate Ex? ecutive, Governor R K. Scott, beseeching that the latter would grant bim protection. It waa then decided, we are told, by the Govern? or to order out the aafegoard of the State, ye lo val (colored! militia. Aims were ordered to oe furnished, and the coroner once more re? tained to his home In Ed,'ofield County. Citi? zens of the town state that a few nights after his return he entered the village one night at i very late boor, surrounded by a large body? guard of negro militia, and m ironed through (be deserted streets; but no encounter with the Ku-Klux took place. Like the famous King of Brentford, who, -"with full ten thousand men, tlarched up the hill and then marched down again," Eisenberger, alter this parade of his sable vete? ran*, left the town, without having an oppor .unitv offered for testing the mettle ot the -meliah." AUtS SENT FSOkt COLUMBIA. Ou last Thursday morningi large qu tnt itv 'our hundred stands of arms-were snippel rom Colombia to EJgefield County, on t e Charlotte, Colombia and Augusta Railroad, lader the charge of tho State Constable, Hub Dard. Wbeii the tram arrived at Pine House -station, distant five or six miles from the :ourthouse, the arms were unleaded at the lepot and the boxes broken open. A large :rowd of negroes assembled at the depot alter the deparcare ot tho tram, and thc distribu? tion of the arms commenced. Oar informant was not pos tive os to the make of the guns, bat believed tbem to be sixteen-sbootiug rides, after the negioes had assembled, aims were iistriboted to seventy-three of them, and the party marched off in the direction of Elgefield Courthouse. All along the ljes of mar eh negro recruits joined the sable column, until, upon its reaching the town, it numbered several hundred men, headed by Eisenborger and Hubbard as commanding officers. THE TOWN SEIZED. Arrived io the town no resistance was offer? ed by the anohT?n?iD?? and astonished citizens. ind ine negroes took peaceable possession of the village. Their lim movement was -to take charge of the jail, alter discharging the jailor, p'aced a heavy guard around it, while Hubbard wont m the building and tried to loree a confession from Lanier with regard to the bushwhackers who killed the negroea and whipped Eisenberger (tor Eisenberger says tho K. K. E. have whipped bim.) Since that time a loree of one hundred negroes have remained m the town and a guard of fifteen men aronnd the jail, and all the arms hare been bcoughc from Piue House to the towu tu Eisenberger's wagon. Etsenbcrger declares that they thall remain there until tbe bushwhackers who lyn'bed bim are oil discavered. lie has au tiiOTiiy from the Gowrnor to raise a company ot one hundred men for bis own protection. Tho citizens are oeliaving very quietly and do? ing all in their power to avoid a collision. They intend, however, holding a meeting and aend in ; a protest against ibis military occupation io Columbia and to Washington City. To give some idol of tLc injustice uf tbe laws of the State thc white people are taxed one hundred and fifty dollar? per dav for the uuuport of these black rascals, though thero is no neces? sity whatever foi their pr?sence-the ony excnic given by Hub Mid for this high banded outrage, being tho lynching of Elisenlerarer by unknown parties aud the killing or two n-j-roes long since, also by un known parties. 1 heir guarding tho jail is sim? ply all pretence, a* no attempt to rescue tbe prisoners h is ever been made, nor bas a rescue been threatened. The whole affair is simply a movement by Eisenberger to get himself made sher, ff of the county, which office he has long since desired. Our informant seemed to think that, 'hough everything is quiet now. it will re n.oire but Blight provocation io bring on a con? test, in whicu, wheo it clo.-s come, the negro Iroops will bo exterminated. The citizens feel that they have been outraged to that point ba? youd which fur hoi endurance ceases to be a rirtur and would become criminal. We await further developments with much anxiety. -The Huntsvihe (Mo.-, Citizen of the 8th says : "A man with three ugly looking navv revolvers bel'ed around him, and answering in even- particular to the desoipu in g von in the St. Louis papers of the notorious desperado.

A flight of marble steps brings me to a door in the wall, which is opened, aud I am taken in. The door closed, I begin to gasp like a fish palled ont of water. 1 am in a cloud of hot steam. I rush for the door to escape for life. The Ru-s i an seizes me by tbe arm and hisses sometbing shout having seen girls do the sam > thing. He conducts me along a balcony surrounding a swimming bath thirty feet square and five feet deep. Still gaaping, a ra/reshing shower of cold water on my head condenses the steam and I breathe again. Conducted still feather, I am showered again and taken into a higher and better room, lined with marble lounges on an ascending scale. I muant to one of the highest ana lie down on my back. A sponge dipped in cold water ia. placed beneath my bead. A vessel filled with cold water and a sponge placed at my side, snd I am told to ase it plentifully on my face, lhe steaming pro.-ess is now in full blast. I calculate the distance to the door, expecting to make a nub for it or to die of snfiication. I feel like a boiled lobster. Discovern g that breathing through the cold sponge relieves me, I apply it freely, and a delicious sensation of being cooked through without it hurting me a bit ia mine. Lying in this state for several minutes, I see through the reeky steam several human lob? sters shelved away like myself, while others, more used to the atmosphere, strolled about the floor, getting cooked as they walked. My cook, having at length de ided that I waa sufficiently ''doue " invited me to a lower lounge, where I underwent an oleaginous ma? nipulation decidedly agreeable to my parboil? ed epidermis. Berni thoa gravied, I thought I was to be ' served up." wheo I was only plung? ed in the swim m mg bath and invited to-cool off. My sensations now were indescribably delightful. A shower of tepid water fell upon my bath-cooled body, and I was conducted to the door of exit, wbere a second Russian, towel in band, met me, ard, wiping me dry, placed me on a sheeted lounge wbere he commenced a series of tri imputations with a soft sod dex- l tenons band, that s.igg .> ned a mesmeric ope- < ration, from which I arose rejuvenated and re- , freshed, and feeling as though a very small . pair of wings woola have been large enough to ' carry me away np among the birds.
