General Kozyanowakl, supervisor of internal revenue for the States of Georgia and Florida, has reported to Commissioner Delano that Washing? ton and Jackson Counties, Florida, are under the control of an armed mob, which has risen to pre? vent an execution of the revenue laws. The leader of tho mob is James P. Coker, who is repre? sented to be a wealthy and influential man. The assistant assessor, Lowe, of Mariana, has been threatened with personal violence by Coker, who tas also challenged him to fight. Lowe asserts that he canvasses bis district at the risk of his life. The collector of customs at J?cksonviUe has informed General K. that the State tax collector and his wife have'been brutally murdered in Washington County; also that there have been seven murders in Jackson County since the ad instant, and all the tax collectors are in imminent danger. THE EICHMOND COUNTERFEITERS. RICHMOND, October 22. The ease of the persons charged with selling counterfeit tobacco revenue stamps promises to lead to Important disclosures. Charles Jackson, tobacco manufacturer of Petersburg, is charged with furnishing a genuine stamp to make the counterfeit by. Thomas W. Roche and Frederick Bannasch have been sent on for trial. The United States District Attorney urged that heavy bail be taken, as the principals of the gang would take thc prisoners out of jail if twenty thousand dol? lars had to be forfeited to do ir. The bail was fixed at ten thousand dollars, which Bannasch, whose factory was seized to-day, gave at once. EARTHQUAKE DOWN EAST. AUGUSTA, ME., October 22. This morning at half-past 5 o'clock the shock of* an earthquake, lasting more than a minute, was felt in this vicinity. Nearly every one was awakened, the door bells rang, and the buildings were shaken. The shock extended all along the river?*. NEW YORK, October 22. Dispatches from Concord, Portland, Boston and other places in the East, report that the shock of an earthquake was distinctly felt there. THE PRIVATEER CUBA, m WILMINGTON, October 22. The case of the officers of thc Cuba was called before the United States Commissioner to-day, and continued until to-morrow. The sailors and marines are quartered at the Seaman's Home. They are behaving well, and evince no desire to leave. ANOTHER CORNER COMING. WASHINGTON, October 22. Yesterday's New York Express says: "Our financial article foreshadows another combina? tion for a look-up of greenbacks and other mani? pulations of a character to admonish unsuspect? ing outsiders, if they are wise, to stand from un? der.? ?-? EUROPE. Additional Troops to he Sent to Cuba? Republican Leaders to ho Shot. MADRID, October 22. Additional troops will be sent to Cuba early in November. The defeat of the Republicans leaves large humber of men at the disposal of the go v t for active operations against the Cubans, publican leaders who are captured with heading bands are to be shot. THE WAR IX CUL A. HAVANA, October 22. Small bodies of rebels have appeared io the vi? cinity of Trinidad, and several skirmishes took place, in which the Cubans were worsted. SPARKS FROX THE WIRES. The Empress Eugenie has arrived at Alexan? dria. Belknap, the new Secretar) of War, is repre? sented to be a warm friend of the Cubans. The Agricultural Fair, at Lexington, Va., was lot a success on account of rain. General Lee was one of the judges on harness and saddles. The Hon. Thomas Ewing, Sr., of Ohio, fell from nervous exhaustion to-day while addressing the Supreme Court, and now lies m a critical condi? tion. The passengers and crew of the wrecked steam? er Sierra Nevada have arrived at San Francisco. The papers and treasure are saved. The passen? gers lost all their baggage. THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR. At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the State Agricultural and Mechanical So? ciety, held in Columbia, on Wednesday, it was determined to issue family tickets of admis? sion to the grounds during fair week, at $3 for annual and life members and $5 for other families. Such tickets can, by the 28th instant, be procured from Colonel Aiken, at the secre? tary's office, in Columbia. The following resolution was passed: Resolved, That the secretary be Instructed to reqnest ail the newspapers of the State, to notify their readers that all arti? cles Intended for exhibition at the approach? ing fair, will be sent to and returned from Co- j lumbla by all the railroads in the State, free of | charge, and all visitors passed to and from Co? lumbia for one fare. AU the papers in the State are requested to extend this notice. Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken, the secretary of the society, says: The pubUc are assured that the prospects of | the approaching fair are most flattering. The old Fair Grounds have been procured, build? ings are being erected and will be completed by the time of the fair, and encouraging re? ports come from ail sections of the State, as to the Interest manifested in our success, and the quantity and variety of articles to be exhibited. ARTICLES FOR EXHIBITION*. The Columbia Phoenix says: We learn that the secretary has received a number of applications from this State and abroad to rent certain spaces in the building for exhibitors to show articles not of their own manufacture. On this subject the committee decided to make no assessment at this fdr,, but to allow all such persons the privilege of exhibiting their articles upon the same terms as all other^Xhibltors. But hereafter, thc committee would deem it proper to rent spaces in the hall to such persons as may not have articles of their own produce and manu? facture, but at the same time may be wiUing to pay for the privilege of exhibiting such gen? eral articles as they may be interested in. This is a feature that prevails in the Northern fairs--is a source of* income to the fair, and can, with propriety, be introduced In our next and-succeeding fairs. THE GRAND TOURNAMENT. By the following announcement lt will be seen that there is to be a grand tournament, jn Columbia during the fair : The committee to which has been assigned thc task of arranging the programme and in? dicating the outline of the grand tournament to be held at the approaching agricultural fair-and at which "the Knights of South Caro? lina*' will contend pour l'honneur Vamour et les beaux yeux dis dames-announces the notice and rules as follows : The tournament will come off on such day as may be most comfortable to the general ar? rangement of the fair-probably the last day. AU who deidre to ride will forward their names, the entrance fee of $5 each, and the ^Character he proposes to represent, to R. I 0*Neale, Jr., Leo., secretary, Columbia, 8. C. The course will be in length about 150 yards; this distance must be ridden in nine seconds; the weapon wUl be the sabre; the first post (the posts will be about di feet in height) wlU be fifty yards from the starting point: the next post and the ring will be at In? tervals of about 25 yards. On each post will be head and about four inch neck. The trials wUl be at first head "right cut against cav? alry;" second head "point;" and third at the ring, 2? inches in diameter, "tierce point." The name of the knight wiU be caUed-he will answer instantly-the bugle will sound and the watch be sprung ; and If he makes a a false start he loses his ride. After the an? swer to the cal! and the sound of the bugle, no accident will entitle the knight to a new ride. These rules are essential to secure time foraU. The first, second, third and fourth prizes will be announced at a later day. These four successful knights* will crown the queen and elect the three maids of honor. At a general meeting of the knights, to be held in Columbia, the judges, committees, Ac, wiU be elected or appointed the day previous to the tournament; and this committee wiU take pleasure in giving any aid within their power, besides having arranged the grounds, prepared everything requisite, and obtained substantial prizes for the victors. A. C. HASKELL, chairman. J. P. THOMAS, R. 0. NEALE, JR., | Committee. R. C. SHIVER, W. c. SWAJFIELD, ALL ABOUT THE STATE. A Specimen Official. The Chester Reporter gives the foUowing exact copy of a letter from a State official, member of the Legislature, to an applicant for office: Mr-october 4th 1869 Dear Sir Yours of thc 1st I receive With Thanks to you and Would Be Very Glad If I was Not Supplyed So that I might Give you a Job at Census Takelng In-County Please Excuse Me For Writefng So Bad. Yours Truly - The Hardwick Affair. The Chester Reporter says: "As we stated last week, James Hardwick disappeared im? mediately after thc fatal difficulty with Woods. Hubbard and his constables have made earnest efforts, so we hear, to discover his whereabouts, but so far without success. On Wednesday last, Wm. Hardwick, father of James Hardwick, was arrested upon the charge of aiding and abetting in the killing of Woods, and on Saturday the case was before Magistrates Cornwell and Heister for examination. The evidence was conclusive that Wm. Hardwick was in no wise implicated in tho affair, being at the time of the difficulty at least a quarter of a mile distant, and not appearing upon the scene until the tragedy was accomplished. He was accordingly discharged. " Cotton Stealing. At a meeting of thc citizens of Sumter, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That those who engage in the iniquitous traffic in seed cotton, and who shall persist in thc same, can only be regarded as enemies to religion, morality and the best interest of the community which they disgrace, and shall be treated accordingly by us. And feeling that this matter should be reached and controlled by law. Resolved. That application be made to the next Legislature to enact such laws as shall arrest this nefarious traffic-making it a penal offence, or by taxation so heavy as to amount to absolute prohn^on. And as this is a matter which greatly concerns the welfare and best interests of agriculture at large, Resolved, That thc State Agricultural Society is requested to take such action in the premi? ses, as it in its wisdom shall deem best. Resolved, That aU our merchants throughout the county be requested to devise means to protect the planting community from the evils complained of in the foregoing resolutions. Shreds of State News. The anti-Radical candidates for the Legisla? ture in Abbeville, are Mr. M. McDonald and Mr. W. K. Bradley. There have been several frosts in Darlington during the past week. The weather now is pleasant. The Darlington Southerner hopes that the Black Creek cotton factory wiU soon assume a definite shape. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. Fair BaiMings-The Statehouse-The Canal-The University-Finance. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, October 22. The season of autumn brings with it a good deal of trade from the country, and the bustle of business is cheering. THE FAIR ?ROUNDS. The hammer and saw are busy puttiDg in order the field for the Fair. The house-an H shaped wooden house of two stories-is receiv? ing its last shingles. The aquarium will be a new feature. There is every indication of hurry about it, and over twenty hands are clattering away at it. The work is all rough, but substantial. THE STATEHOUSE. Contractor Allen has the greater part of the fitting up at the Statehouse finished. The Senate chamber is done. There remain now only some painting and shelves to get ready. The desks and chairs are on the way from New York and will be here in a few days. Everything will be ready before the middle of November, and will be in us Able condi? tion by the first. The Legislature meets pa the fourth Tuesday-the 23d day-of Novem? ber. The State offices for the Governor, Sec? retary of State, Comptroller-General, Auditor and Treasurer will be fitted up in the same building with the Legislature-the new State? house-and ready for use about the first of De? cember. THE CANAL. Four months ago your correspondent from this place called attention to the presumptive fraud of the Spragne-Plerson investment in the Columbia Canal. Now that the first of October-the limit In time allowed them-has come, even thc committee see that they have been victimized (or at least the State has) by these sharpers. Has Senator Sprague any cotton factories in New Effgland thft have been largely benefltted by delaying for a whole year th Resection of a large factory in South Carolina ?; Besides this, there are some other questions to be asked about this same canal but not to-day. THE UNIVERSITY. There are thirty-three students now in the University, and additions are made every few days. The School of Law has a larger class than it has ever had before, although lt is not very large. Dr. Faber is expected to arrive early next week. All quiet, and the crop of startling rumors is falling. FINANCE. The State financial agent-that " young man of much ability and promise "-has been in town recently ; and the friends of the State credit are confident that everything is going on well-par consequent. THE CITY OF LIVERPOOL. An Interesting Sketch-Solid Aspect of the Place-The Greatness of Liverpool Founded on the Negro-Americans and American Manners-C u r i o u s Con? trasts, ?tc. A correspondent of the New York Times sends to that paper the following very pleasant Bketch of the great cotton market of the world, which thousands of our own people will , read with interest : i I have visited and written letters from most ' of the important towns in thc United King? dom, but this is my first visit to Liverpool, 1 with the slight exception of once passing through it on my way to Ireland. Most Amerl- ! cans who visit Europe also pass through Liver- . pool on their way to Paris. They may stop for a day or two in London. Very few, I believe. 1 make any stay in one of the most Important ; commercial cities In Europe. It is natural enough, out still a mistake. 1 Liverpool is New York over again, but with a difference. And lt is worth seeing. Liverpool and Birkenhead lie on the shores of the broad ! estuary of the River Mersey, Uko New York and Brooklyn on the East River; only the river 1 runs nearly due north into the Irish Sea on the 1 west. Steam ferry boats cross the river and 1 run to the villages along sh^re. There ls a brown stone fort at the rour.h of the river. 1 surrounded by water at high tide, somewhat : like Fort Lafayette, anda lighthouse; but the 1 entrance to the roadstead is low and unpictur? esque-) The river Itself, however, ls a very 1 grandaud lively spectacle. A hundred Bhlpa 1 and steamers of all nations lie at anchor or are I arriving and departing. The American sees the stars and stripes floating from the tall ta? pering masts of the finest vessels in the har? bor. "A fresh breeze from north to west gives enough motion for comfort, and along thc eastern shore of the river lies the town of Liv? erpool, fringed by five miles of the finest docks in the world, where a large part of the world's shipping lies packed close as herrings at the high tide level. The lover ol' water craft, can wander here at will, and have no end of cn* ment. he town rises with a gradual ascent from the water to the breezy heights of the eastern suburbs, so there can be no excuse for bad drainage. The formation is brown sand-stone, covered along the shore with a yellow sand so fine that it drifts like snow. The water ls soft and pure. I see no reason why Liverpool might not be one of the healthiest towns In the world. The sad truth is, that Its death rate is the highest In the United Kingdom-and this, in spite of the fact that a large portion of it is, in a sanitary point of view, everything that could be desired. Three-fourths of Liverpool have wide streets, good air, good water, good drainage, everything but parks, squares, and open spaces-so much neglected In most com? mercial towns. Liverpool 1B about as solidly built over as Cincinnati, without the excuse of inclosing hills. Most English towns have antiquities; old cas? tles, churches, Roman remains, a dignifying past. Liverpool has none of these-not ari old wall, tower, street, church, nor an old building or ruin of any sort. There was a fishing village at the mouth of the Mersey at an early period, no doubt. In the time of James 1,1C18, Liver? pool owned twenty-four vessels, whose united tonnage would scarcely equal one good ship of the present day. The real trade,growth and pros? perity of the town began about 1710. when Liv? erpool became one of the mo6t active ports en? gaged in the b'.ave trade. In 1760, Liverpool had ninety vessels engaged In this trade. They could carry about 25,750 slaves. These negroes were brought here in great numbera and sent to America and thc Weet Indies. The trade was then considered highly respectable, was carried on under Royal chartcrs,and made immense for? tunes for those engaged in it. The merchants of Liverpool were also celebrated for pri? vateering, blockade running and similar enter? prises. When the slave trade at length be? came unfashionable, Liverpool still flourished on the products of slave labor, and became the chief entrepot for cotton, sugar, tobacco, &c. The negro, in fact, has built Liverpool, and given to lt its solidity, its grandeur, Its wonderful prosperity. Liverpool has doubled Its trade and population every sixteen years for the post century, and though Lancashire is now under a cloud, and cotton, If king, is like some other kings,-?tn difficulties, there seems to be little check to its growth and prosperity. What we of our shingly, make-shift new world have to admire in Liverpool is the mas? sive grandeur and solidity of Its works. The merchants of Liverpool, If they got their money by the slave trade and other forms of what the world now calls piracy, built for pos? terity. The five miles of stone docks, making perhaps twenty-five miles of massive masonry, which shelter the mercantile navies of the world, constitute a work of which any nation might be proud. They make the rotting wooden piers around New York seem very shabby. And thc public and commercial buildings of Liverpool are of corresponding grandeur. The older ones, it is true, have not much architec? tural beauty to boast of ; they are about as ugly as they can be, but built of stone, mas sive and capacious, am inc newer ouuo ings are as beautiful as they are grand. Edinburgh ha? finer sites, more pic? turesque localities, a mingling of antique and modern-historic memories-but no town in England has such public and commercial edi? fices as Liverpool. Those of London do not compare with them. They arc vast, enduring, magnificent. And when you consider that here Is no capital, no seat of government, simply a commercial seaport, and that the town "has been built by Individual merchants or by the same men as members of a corpora? tion, it ls really wonderful. The line of docks and shipping, the Exchange and Its surround? ing edifices. St. George's Hall, Brown's Free Public library and Museum, are each and all worth coming to see-assuredly worth stop? ping to look at, when you have crossed the Atlantic; for you may gravel over Europe and see nothing like them. The public spirit which has built those monu? ments of commercial enterprise and prosperi? ty h as done many other things, perhaps even more ad ml: able. The corporation baths, snp plled with fresh and salt water, in different gatts of the town, give swimming and other aths at prices to snit all classes, and some of these are so large that public swimming matches are held in them. Liverpool has the most famous gymnasium in England, with pub? lic exhibitions three evenings a week. Its principal theatres are so good, and tho audi? ences so appreciative, that It has been for sev? eral years the practice to bring out new pieces here'before producing them in the metropolis. The reading room of thc Merchants' Ex? change is one of the -finest In the world, and the free library given to the town by Slr William Brown, one of 1rs great merchants, Is the largest of the kind, and such an Institution as does not exist In London. The museum, which occupies nearly the whole ot the large building, also given tb the town by thc same munificentfPenefactor, ranks next to the British Museum in its extent and completeness, and is much better accom? modated as to ?pac? When will any Ameri? can city of half a million population, when will New York Itself, have such a library and such a museum ? I do not forget thc Astor Library nor the Cooper Institute; but the Astor Libra? ry Is not for the masses of the people, and I have never seen a decenMnuacum In America. There are fragments hewand there, but a free, Fublic museum, open to the whole people, is, believe, something yet to be begun in our countrv. St. George's Hall stands In an open space In the centre of Liverpool-an edifice In thc Corinthian style, 465 feet in length, with hun? dreds of Corinthian columns of the most exquisite proportions, and the whole edifice is one of great beauty. It is BO beautiful in its symmetry that it does not seem large. Yon can only see Its real size by contrast with some other building. Near It on one side is a church,.Georgian Gothic, of ordinary dimen? sions, about the size of an average New York churth. lt ls so lost, so utterly dwarfed by St. George's Hall, that it looks like a toy church. The iHusion is complete. The houses on the Hudson, at thc foot of the Palisades, fro? the deck ot a steamer look like bird cages. The gran? deur of SL George's Hall produces the same effect, fne building contains the law courts, a concert hall 75 feet square and 40 feet high, an immense hall for public meetings 109 feet long, 75 feet 9 inches wide, and 87 feet 6 Inches high. This room contains one of the largest organs in the world, which is played upon twice a week for the public, by Mr. Best, the corporation organist. Besides these great hails there are in the edifice, as a guide book informs me, -'numerous suitable apartments for the convenience of parties engaged in any? thing that may be going fonvard." These will afford excellent accommodation to the various sections of the British Assoc'a lon, which is to meet here next year, under the pr?sidence of that must distinguished descendant of the chimpanzee by natural selection, Professor Huxley; naturally selected by the Darwinians as, considering "man's place in nature," the fittest to preside over its deliberations. I hope Professor Agassiz, who claims a less distin? guished descent, will find it convenient to be present en that occasion. Liverpool Is more like New York, more Ame? rican in Its manner? and customs, than any European town. There must be at all times some hundreds-perhaps I might say thous? ands-of Americans along the docks and gath? ered about the centres of business. You see everywhere American faces, and hear the va? ried American accent ranging from Bangor to Galveston. Yesterday on 'Change a swarthy Southerner lounged up to an Epgllsh mer? chant or cotton broker. "Look here," said he "don't you know anybody that's got some New Orleans papers?" "Yes, I have got any quantity of them." We'l by-! I'll come up to your office and see them." There was not much in that short dialogue ; only I have never met au Englishman, with the least claim to be considered a gentle? man, who would have compelled me to use a dash In reporting such a conversation. Eng? lishmen above the lowest class no more swear than spit. It is very rare Indeed that a well dressed Englishman is seen in the least intoxi? cated. I have some hope that the lower classes ?viii soon Imitate their betters in the latter re? spect, as they have in a great degree in the former. Anti I wish that Americans who come to Europe, go on 'Change, and mingle else? where in European society, would devote a month or two before they start to as much spit ling and swearing as would last them till tbov get home again to the land of the free, wileri no one has any objections. The Americanism in Liverpool is generally a matter of pride-but it is in some things a matter of mortification. Out of regard to our national habits, the public resorts of Liverpool are furnished with spittoons, which are never seen in other English towns, and American visitors to the Liverpool bathing village of New Brighton have compelled thc authorities to place all over their elegant promenade pier thc following notice-the like of which I nave not seen before in Europe : "Gentlemen are requested not to suit on the floor of the prome? nade." And visitors are obliged to have this staring them In the face at every turn-or worse. And Mrs. Trollope is gone, and Mr. Sumner ls still making speeches about the Alabama ! There are other contrasts, but they are com? paratively slight and unimportant. The Eng? lishman is always brushed and combed, and his boots shine, ant] lie has the general air of hav? ing Just stepped out of a bandbox. If an American is drawn In Punch, his nationality consists not more in his long nose and neck, than his slouching and frowzy appearance. There ls a museum of Greek statues, wax fig? ures, Ac, in Liverpool, which includes kings, queens, murderers, revolutionists, philoso? phers, bandits-some hundreds of attractive personages; but I noticed that even In the cave of horrors, with long lines of murderers pin? ioned for thc gallows-this saves hands-every wig was well brushed. The pirates and ban? dits have long black hair, but it is smooth and glossy. There are only three person? ages who look as if they never saw a comb; these are the late President Lincoln, on the lett of St. John the Baptist, and Generals Grant and Lee on his right. As Wilkes Booth is down stairs among the murderers, his hair ls as smooth and glossy as the best of them. By? ron finds himself, thanks to Mrs. Stowe, once more an object of interest. He waked up one morning and lound himself (In) famous. In wax-works lt does not matter much. Two shilling cditious of the Byron controversy are out, by the editors of two London weeklies, and the St. Giles Press has its catchpennies for the million; so there will not be, thanks to Mrs. Stowe once moro, a man, woman or child in this countrv not perfectly familiar with the "True Story of Lady Byron."' But this is a digression. American manners have made their mark on Liverpool-not the bad manners we really must mend when we can lind time, but the good. There is a kind? liness, a sociality, an independence of feeling, au admitted equality here, not seen elsewhere in England in the same degree. You have It In Manchester, no doubt, and over Lancashire generally; but it seems to me to culminate in Liverpool. Nowhere are the poor so little cringing and obsequious; nowhere are the rich so little overbearing. Thc typical Englishman cringes to all above, and kicks all below him. Liverpool has no aristocracy but that which has come from work. Labor, business, trade, have made all the great fortunes; and those who are not rich may be. There is, therefore, a friendly good fellowship among all classes very pleasant, aud very American-though, for that matter, it may be found over two thirds of the continent of Europe, and espe? cially the southern portion. -Ex-Queen Christina, o Spain, is thor OJghly opposed to the pr- posed abdication of the thr ne by her daughter Isabel.a If, who, she thinks, will soon be recalled to Ma xmwttu vi onces. ?S- THE RELATIVES, FRIENDS AND Acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. D.

She suf? fered nearly two years with a hard cough, which troubled her day and night; at last the emaciated form, glassy eye, uight sweats, together with the cough, told too plainly that it was Consumption, beyond question, eating at her vitals. Our physi? cian's remedies brought no relief. She was ad? vised to try your ROSADALIS as a Tonic, which she did. Imagine my surprise and gratification when I found her appetite returning. Slowly she re? gained her strength, her cough and night sweats gradually ceased, and she is now, after taking Ave bottles of your medicine, apparently as well as ever. Yours, respectfully, - MRS.

Every night he drives into "the house" aud stops. Every morning he ls fired up anew, and away he goes switching off In one di? rection and then in another. In this routine of business, he forgets that the physical organiza? tion is'of the most delicate kind.

During that long interval HOSTET TER'S STOMACH BITTERS may be truly said to have enjoyed unnvaUed popularity. Many prep? arations have been got up to compete with it. bat they have all fallen into Its wake or sunk Into oblivion for lack of patronage. From the first, this now world-renownod Vegetable Tonic has been both medically aud financially success? ful. Every year has added to the number of its friends, and the demand for it, based solely upon the experimental proofs of its excellence as a pre? ventive and curative, seems to have no assign? able limit. Thajpedlcal profession sanction and approve its uso, and it ls now at the head of the class or medicines to which it belongs, the ad? mitted, undisputed sovereign tonic of the age. The statistics of the United States Revenue De? partment will verify the statement that it stands alone and unapproached in the magnitude of its sales as compared with those of any other pro? prietary remedy advertised on this side ol the At? lantic. The explanation of this fact may be comprised In a few words. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT? TERS is at once the purest, the safest aud the most potent of all vegetable tonics, aud the best antidote to every variety of malarious disease. Hence it is especially adapted to the present sea? son of chilling dews and unwholesome vapors. 0Ctl8 CD4C ifinoncial. ANTED. STATE SOUTH CAROLINA BONDS, (New Issue.) By A. C.
