WHAT IS HOING IN UV MITER. Cotton Stealing and Housebreaking The K. Iv. K-Sance for the Goose and Sauce for the Osn<lei>-Thc Crops Town Gossip. f 'PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] SUMTER, 8. C., November 13. Our county this year has mado about two-thirds rof a cotton und one-third of a corn crop. As for rice, potatoes, Ac, the oontlnued dry weather during we summer has caused tho yield to bo very small Indeed. Considering what poor crops have beca made In some portions of the State, our people should be contented thal they tiavo done so well. It ls not unusual lo bear of from one to two bales cu* cotton being made to thc acre, and half a bale ls a common report. In a few years less than a bale to the acre will be considered a short crop. How much of their cotton tho farmers have lost by theft, lt ls Impossible to estimate; but, Judging by thc largo quantities or seed cotton ?old this fall, thc tiller tax most be a very heavy .ne. The farmers, unable to proteot at night their wide extended hulda, and surrounded by .tinning and expert thieves, bavo remonstrated wi h merchants and traders for aiding, however uiilntcutlonully, thcao rogues, by purchasing aced cotton et all; and In most Instances this appeal has been received ?nd responded to in tho right spirit. Hut there arc yet sumo who uro unwilling to give np thc prouts of a traine, which, though a aourco of great wrong, ls not yet prohibited by law. Somo uuknown persons, banded logethor, and supposed to be K. K.'a, have taken tho mut? ter Into their own hands. Suverul stores, niter previous warning to their owners, have been . kunu, Some who were warned have agreed to [ stop trading lu ibis lino. These violent measures I aro not approved or by our people. They desire \ that thc whole moral loren of thc community bc arrayed against this nefarious traUlc,bui condemn such lawless means for stopping lt. Scott's proc? lamation offering a reward of one thousand doh . lars fer Information against, and arrest i ttl tho parties, could not bo objected to, ?alf i it wcro written lu the right spirit. *B? publication also suggests to our minds thc ?P&ci that many cases or mansions Incendiarism Vi av o happened lately In our county, in which ? vefy worthy persons were tho surfercra, yet the I thunder of tho Executive was not beard, nor was any Inducement crrcrod. In the shape of n reward, for tho discovery of thc perpetrators. One Of thc victims of these K. K. proceed? ings which huvu so stirred up the Executive wrath, is a Radical brother or Radical Con greca man Robertson. Stato constable Hubbard a row days ago paid a visit to our county, and as a re? sult of lils investigation a "-.umber of moat re? spectable persona have boen arrested aa being K.u Kioxcfl. The congregation of tho Episcopal Church In . thia place had a fair at tho beginning of Ibis month, whloh proved quito successful. The amount realized waa much greater than was . hoped for. It ls proposed by some of the ladles of on? town to have a fair on the 20th of December next, for the parp?se of raising a fund with .which to orect a monument to the Confederate dead of our district. This patriotic object, which doty and lovo both commend to the minds of the people, will, I am sure, enlist their warmest sym* patalea and hearty co-operation. E. r I nv WITH THE Tint KS. THE EMPRESS OP TUE FRENCH ASTONISH? ING THE SULTAN. lier Conversation with the American Minister-Seeking; ? Pretext for a Visit to ?he United States-The Great Spanish Beauty Promised a Splendid Reception In Amcrlcn. A ConsU'.nlluople letter to Ute New York Sun says: All business has been suspended nt thc Porte for tho Inst week. In consequence of thc /etea to thc Empress Eugenio. Her reception has been magnificent In every sense of tho word. On Friday lust, the diplomatic corps were presented lo her al lite palace or llcglcrbey. She was ex? ceedingly cordial und pleasant to Die American Munster. Among other things, she said to him: "I love to travel, and Hie more I travel, thc more I love it. I have a great desire lo visit thc United Slates, nnd I should rejoice lo find a pretext Tor going there." Our representative assured her that she would meet with a eordtul reception from tile Government nutt people of the United States, and he hoped she would lind an opportu? nity to honor us with a visit. HIOSB WINNINI! WAYS. You cannot imagine thc grace and charming maimer lu willett she thanked Mr. Jay Morris for this response. Uer bearing and manners arc so fascination, that unless n diplomat ls on his guard he may commit a breach of etiquette in responding loo frcelv to her winning frankness. She ls amiable to all, uud has au apt word for all. She has won all hearts herc by lier Innate good? ness and Hie graces or her manner and person. A GRAND REVIEW. On Saturday there was a review or 30,000 troops at Uunkiar Iskelessl in ber honor. Thc Sultan corni neted her to thc review from Rcglerbey lu his own steam yacht. TOOlllts' COUNTERPART. Abdul- Ards bears n striking rescmblnnco lo Mr. Tooinbs, of Georgia, of Hanker Hill and Confede? rate fame-tho same imperious air and tawny complexion and tinge of aboriginal blood-carry? ing about him that Impregnable and immeasura? ble sense of power, which marks great slave and land-owners as well as absolute sovereigns. Bl'tl EN Ul PENOTYPEO. Eugenic is Hie embodiment or Andalusian grace and Parisian stylishness. Seen (rom a distance, alto retains all the beauly which in times of yore mudo her tho most courted belle ut Madrid, Lon? don and Paris. Rut on closer proximity to her, and when her face ls not bathed in that sea ar smiles which constitutes its mont fascinating charm, the ominous linger or agc, which settles on ladies' faces, and especially round their eyes, after thc fortieth year hos been left behind, par? ticularly when, like Eugenic, they havo tasted all thc sweets or lire and love, has len Rs Impress in unmistakable swellings or thc skin and irrepressi? ble soupcons or corning wrinkles. Rut her eyes retain all their lustre or younger days, and reflect with bewitching fidelity the thousand emotions of a gushing heart, and thc mercury-like fluctuations of a capacious, sparkling and pol? ished Intellect. Long-headed like a Rostonlan beauty, with that wide space between thc eye? brows which gencrnlly denotes good powers of perception and will, and with gentle protuber? ances on her forehead which bespeak high iniagi native faculties, her face, well forincti as lt Ts, would bc still more impressive were she to dis? close her brow in all tts fullness. Rut faithful to tho existing fashion, so favorable to ladles with negative foreheads, thc dimensions of thu brow are crippled by the arrangement or thchalr-drcss. Nevertheless, its ample form is to a certain degree revealed by thc general configuration or thc pro? file; conscious ot which physiological disclosure, lier intellectual coquetry has perhaps something to do with tho mysterious concealment of a natural advantage which is well known to bo hera. Tho principle charin or her presence is that or a harmonious undulation ef manners, adapted with almost miraculous skill to sorvc aa au accompaniment to winning smiles, grace? ful gestures, brilliant, causerie, and an all per? vading sweetness or disposition and goodness or heart. Thc Empress, by thc side of thc Sultan, seemed to the manner born of Orlcutal life. Her Moorish blood seemed to kindle in thc presence of Ute Ottoman monarch, and he, too, may have thought or the time when Granada, the birth-place of his guest, still owed allegiance to Eastern rulers. To illustrate this alUntly or origlu, the style of Moorish antill lecture was adopted for tile splendid kiosk, capable of holding a thousand persons, which had been constructed for thc spe? cial use of thc Sultan and thc Empress. They oc? cupied thc central pavilion, and tho two wings were appropriated to thc Turkish otlicials and the diplomatic corps. Thc day was a clear autumnal day or October's finest weather. Thc sight of thc kiosk, with the Sultan aud Empress, and tho sloping lillis in the rear, covered with a hundred thousand Turkish, Persian, Ar? menian, (?reek, and Levantine women, in their varying dresscss or every hue, and their various styles or beauty-from the pale, delicate, emaciated harem type of Ottoman belles, to the ?rrlih r in re cf un re ll ned Per inte women of plebeian, French, Italian, or English descent, and of solid American women-all staring with bewildered curiosity at thc Imperturbable Sultan, and still more at thc ever-smiling Empress, and chattering in a hundred idioms, which Mezzo fante himself might not havo been able to deci? pher; thc picture thus presented, together with thc fairy-like panorama of thc land and sea, thc surface of thc lauer dotted by numerous caiques, rowed by swarthy Unitarians dressed in White, presented so many beautiful and picturesque as? pects that thc pencil of the artist may delineate them for generations to come. TUB riuAN l) ILLUMINATION ON TUR DOSPnORUS. The troops occupied about three hours in dem? ing before thu kiosk, ench regiment, as Hearne up before thc Empress nnd Sultan, rending Ute air with acclamations. In thc evening the Empress dined with tho Sultan en intime, at thc famous kiosk built by Mahomet All on thc Rosphorus, front of the valley of 11 un ki ar Iskelessl. The hllU around thc valley were covered by an immense camp, which was Ut up by hundreds of thousands or lights, and from which ut irregular Intervals, and Tor au hour at times, incessant fusillades were kept up. When thc Empress len the kiosk to return to Rcglerbey, her resilience, accom? panied by thc Sudan, thu splendors of a tull moon, paled before thc myriads or lires that burst into thc air from thc shores of Eurolie and Asia, from thc inonu tain slopes, and the decks of thc vessels at anchor In the Rosphorus. Indeed, thc passage of thc Empress down thu Rosphorus waa Itt up by one continued blaze of illuminating fire from thc vessels of war anchored in thc Ros? phorus along tho wholo route. The murninni ions on thc AH lune and European shores were Indes? cribably beautiful. The Champs Elysees, thc Hols dc Roulogne, aud tho llonlevards bowed, as lt were, their heads in shame and confusion at tbc confession or her Majesty that she never before had witnessed such a scene of magio spleudor. AN ORIENTAL BANQUET. On Sunday evening the corps diplomatique dined at tho palace of Uolma-Ragtcho, and were Introduced at first to a waiting-room, whence, after some delay, they proceeded through a grand hall to thc staircase which lcd to thu banquci-hall of thc palace. After a few minutes of attente, thc Snltun entered with Ute Empress on his arm, and bowing low lo their gncsts, they lcd tho way to dinner. About eighty persons sat down to table, Including the foreign ministers and all thc chief officers or the empire. Thc Sultan and Empress sat together st tho head of the tablu on throned chairs. The Empress wore a green robe, richly covered with lace. She wore on her brow a crown of diamonds Unit ou mashed thc blazing gas. Her necklace was a string of large mid ciegan fr set diamonds. Thc whole parura was estimated at not less than a m niloc, of francs. No toasts were drunk, and tho Sultan drank no wine. AU the guests were tn full-dress uniforms, blazing with gold embroidery, except the American Minister, who on this, OH on nil other occasions since thc passage of Senator Sumner's resolution proscrib? ing uniforms to civilians lu thc diplomatic ser? vice, appeared in a plain snit or black. This slm CKelty ot costume makes the representative ot tho tilted Stales recognizable ut a glance among thc general moss. APTER DINNER TALK. , After dinner the company retired to one of tho reception rooms of thc palace, where the Em? press and I he Sultan entered Into conversation with thc members er thc diplomatic corps gen? erally, and, alter addressing the ambassadors, exchanged graceful words with some or the min? isters, and were marked lu their nilablltty to the American Envoy, tho Btiltau chatting with him ror a considerable time, and being evident Iv very much plcuscd with thc interview. MORE ILLUMINATIONS. Shortly afterward thu Sultan offered his arm to the Empress and retired from tho room, which was a signal for (roncral departure. The spectacle on tho Rosphorus was magical. All tho vessels of war were ranged lu a long Uno before the palace, their rigging hung wilh lights. As thc Empress' barge crossed tho Ilosphorus to Rcglerbey, all the vessels burnell Rengul lights, covering the surracc or the water with a sheol of fire. The American Minister accompanied tho Russian Ambassador anti Mme. IgnaticfT to tho dinner in tho Russian legation steamer. The dinner was at o P. M. On going down the Rosphorus from Euyukticro to polma-Ilagtche, thc steamer curried tho American i flag at her fore and tho Russian on her other mast a circumstance which confirmed tho wide-spread impression or an Intimate entente cordiale be? tween the two countries. The Empresa conversed nearly bair an hour with tho Russian Ambassador In tho most coquettish and ing?nions manner both ?f them from time to time laughing heartily' and evidently enjoying each other's society. Tho Sultan also was very cordial to General Ignatlcrr both of them bantering each other In tho most free and easy style.

Over thc City-Thc Pre? cautions Ta kt-II nt UM Tuileries. The Purls corrceponuViit of iho New York World writes: Yesterday, thc 26lh of October, was to have In? augurated thc Inst l'rcnch revolution. At the eleventh hour, Indeed Its promoters backed out, and gave notice to their adherents that the utfutr was adjourned to some other time. Hut us things turned out, they might ns well have spured Ihoin srlvcH this trouble; for tho weather was such UH to mukc a popular gathering ul mott, impossible. When I drew my window curtains lo tho morn? ing and looked out upon tho wet und slippery streets, thc cold, Inclement skies, und tho evi? dent discomfort with which every passer-by nu? der his umbrella regarded thc general condition of thc universe, it was a foregoue conclusion I hut under no circumstances could u mob assemble In such wea mer. lt could not hold together. No human being, either with or withoal an umbrel? la, could have expected to stand still for ten minutes exposed lo such n cold and pelting rain. Hut 1 recalled my Addison to memory: "Thc dawn Ls overcast, thc morning lowers,- . And heavily lu clouds bringa on thc day: Thc great, thc Important day, big with thc fate Of Cato, and or Home;" And so, when at noon thc clouds began to roll away, and thc aun sallied lort H. I followed his ex? ample and ventured towards thc "promised lund" of eon si it ut ional reform-thc Placo dc la Concorde, on this side or thc Seine, and thc hull or the Corps L?gislatif on thc oilier. Between these two all la open lo thc eye, and il needed but one glance to ace that there waa no revolution on thc lilli or rare for thc day. Thc weather was still damp and chilly, though thc sun smiled sa? tirically ou thc sight-seers, who came for excite? ment and went home willi bad colds. There was Indeed a time when there were enough blouses present to have inaugurated a row, and some ot these were apparently well dis? posed to do so; but they were so scattered and mixed up In thc temporary throng, that ll was perfectly plain that their hour was not come, und that, ir ludced they hud contemplated uti out? break, they had come there to Join In lt, rather than to organi/.e lt. Aa thc duy passed uway, so did thc people; and I cutt safely ulUrui, Hint for by fur thc larger part of the twenty-four hours, there were fewer persona lu that neighborhood than on any other day that I have vlaitcd lt aluce my ar? rival In Parla. And thc great majority of those who were there yesterday, were not at all thc kind of people who get up a riot. They were cither curiosity-mongers, or persons following their proper avocations, and going about their lawful business. Nevertheless, though there was no disturbance, you muat not suppose that a disturbance was not apprehended or that it was len unprovided for; and it la extremely fortunate for the people that thc day terminated aa lt did. There arc at least two forces in France, which lt ls extremely dime ult for any mob io oppose with succcsaful violence. One ls publie opinion; thc other ls thc army. Both yesterday were against thc threatened row. lt waa naturally enough denounced by every man with a penny in his pocket, but even to many-perhaps to more than 1 estimate-of those who gel their bread rrom hand to mouth, and arc always ready ?or any erneute, thc thing seemed ridiculous and absurd. I will not euler Into the political dis? putes between thc opponents and thc partisans ol the Emperor; but whatever they may amount to, lida was not thc occasion nor tho manner to Hettie them. Because hair a dor.cu dciiutlcs had vowed vengeance against him for refusing to convoke thc Legislature on thc 20lh ol October, and had declared their Intention or assembling themselves on that day, and ol laking audi ac? tion aa they might deem utting; because they hail backed out, one alter another, until only M. Itsapall remained linn, and then he burked nut, too; because merely of nil these things, wus l'a ns to bc Ulled with blood and smoke, and thc people fired on by thc troops, and the ahops abut up, and trade ruined for three days, and thc moat respec? table ot cali-drlvers and colfec-housc walters be? reaved of bia pourbotre-thc (Ive couta of gratui? ty, which makes hia lifo u blessing instead or a burden. Thc Idea was absurd. It cannot be denied, however, that there was a good deal or readiness among thc working classes to cuter luto an encounter with thc authorities. Buring thc dny ot thc 25th. und during a part or thu evening, I passed through many or the lowest and "unreconstructed" street s of Paris-notably through thc Faubourg St. Antoine-and the spirit of discontent waa very apparent. It is subdued for the present, but If lt docs not break out agniu during thc coming session of tho Legislature, when some daring deputy will doubtless seek to raise tho atorra which ls so dimcult to quell-or at thc approaching election, when partiaan feel? ings will bc nt their iiood-ltdc among thc peo? ple-1 shall find myself greatly mistaken. For thc present, however, the good senso of thc best men. both of thc government and thc opposition fia rt ivs, has prevented a great nubile scandal. Tho attcr utterly and sternly rebuked any popular demonstration whatever for yesterday. Thc for? mer took such precautions os would nave mado any popular outbreak futile. Holding, I suppose, no less than 80,000 troops in hand, fully armed, ready to bc thrown on any part of Parla at a mo? ment's notice, lt did not, through all thc day, pre seut to the public observation a ningle additional soldier beyond thc customary guards and rel?ela or every day. Thc Emperor look up lila quartcra Ut tho Tuileries, and went about even more freely than usual, but, though there was provision taken to close thc iron gales of thc garden ul a mo? ment's notice, thc sentries who guard the palace were not Increased in number. That lhere were more police ofllccrs than usual on tho stricta la true enough; and that they were generally to be encountered In couples la also true enough: but they were always very civil, and it was only when a bunch of forty or flfty people were gathered momentarily together, that thc "agents" seemed to find anything to do. Then, lt was a very polite rcqueat-"Move on gentle? men, if you please I"-and thc Utile crowd would break up and disperse. In short, lt appeared to roc that nine-tenths of thc people who vis? ited the neighborhood of the corps L?gislatif yes? terday were or thc same character aa myself. Wc caine to ace a row, and there being no row to ace, we never thought or tuuklng one for oursclvca, but quietly went home again. Thc affair remind? ed me of thc old story of thc astronomer who, by some means or other, discovered that the moon was Ulled with precious stones, and that Ihc only mode to cause those jewels to become rcrolltlc, and to fall upon this dull earth, for thc sudden de? lectation and enrichment of ita Inhabitants, WUS by un atmospheric vibration. If every human be? ing, he calculated, was nt thc same hour and at the top or his voice to shout "Hob I" tho desired errect would bc produced, and nil thc world would go about picking up rubles und diamonds and emeralds, us thc Jews picked up manna in thc wilderness. Thc edict went forth. Tho nour was li ved when all thc world was to give vent to one tremendous shout. The hour arrived and univer? sal alienee reigned. Every man was so busy In listening for thc noise of his neighbors that he himself stood mute, and thc happy occasion waa lost forever. or course, thc promotora or this abortion muat lose caste In public opinion, und even, probably, In thu opinion or their own party. The Journals of to-day which support thc Republican aidegof tho question aro evidently discouraged and In a bad humor. Thc funny part or tho whole ntfalr waa the proclamation pu ti ll shed by H. PIclrl, the head of the police here, warning all good people to keep out of tho way on tho 26th, and qnotlng the very text of thc most rigid law for putting down mobs which I have ever seen or heard of. lt amounts simply to this: That a mayor, or some one from his ofTtcc, or some one clac, shall tie a tri colored scarf about hie waist and say a few words to the mob, and shall cause a drum to be beaten, tr thc mob ls unarmed, there aro lo bc three rolla of the drum; if armed, however, but one roll ia necessary; and sa no ono can any but what In any mob there may bo a man armed with an umbrella, u toothpick, a market-basket, or a leg of mutton, lt follows that thc one drum-beat may generally tic all that In re? quired. Then force may be lawfully employed, and force under these circumstances means, If necessary, grape and canister, sabres and chus scpofa. And where do you suppose M. PIclrl finds thia lively Utile law-for lt ia a law actually In present existence.

Atrocious Treatment of u Penlan Chap? lain-Barbarity of the Canailian OID. c?ala. The account glvon by Father McMahon at tho late meeting In New York of his treatment while a prisoner In Canada, exhibits a degree of cruelty to political prisoners only equalled by Hutt which was exhibited In nome cases -during our late civil war. In tho caso of Father McMahon, however, there would seem lo have been no sem? blance of a reasonable pretext for his ticing made a prisoner st all, much less for the barbarity practiced upon bim. He states that he was on his way from Madi? son, Indiana, In June, i860, to seo after tho affaira of hlR brother who died In Canada, when ho found himself on the Canadian side surrounded by Irish soldiers, who, Anding he was a priest, and having no chaplain, urged him to act os auch, a request which, as a clergyman, he did not feel at liberty lo refute. In this capacity bo ministered to tho wdnndcd und dying ur hoi h Hides in baldes which afterwards occurred, and while thus engaged he was made prisoner hy thc llrltlsh forces. He stales that upon lils trial u letter was introduced lu testimony on his behalf rrom lllshop Lucra, the bishop of the diocese where he waa located na pnrlsh priest, showing he had given him per? mission to visit Montreal on mattera pertaining to the death of lils brother. Mr. Kodier, a lawyer, residing lu the City or Montreal, Irstlllcd that nt thc lime or Father McMahon's arrest li?: expected him In thai city to settle the atfulra or his deceased brother. A letter rrom his bishop to tlie clergy? men or St. Jacques, staling that he vas on bia way there, was also laid before the eourt, but was not permitted to be read. Evidence -ana Intro? duced on bia bcluiir, also proven by two witnesses for the prosecution, that when arrested ho had in bia possession the sacrament mid "holy oil" willi which thc clergy of that raith aro provided when vislilng thc sick ?uni living. Yet he was round guilty mid sentenced to be hung In five weeks from thc date of lils conviction. Illa sentence w.e< ai tens ards commuted to Imprisonment for lire, mid when broken down by prison suffering he was at Inst releused from coiilincinent. When first arrest isl hu waa stripped und forced into mi Ice-cold water bath, where he waa kept mi hour, which resulted lu a sickness that sent him tu the hospital ror nearly rour months. This was after? wards repealed lu tho coldest month of the win? ter, which rendered another resort to tho hospital necessary. Such brutality even to a convicted felon would bc inhuman enough, but In the casu or un Innocent man il is horrible.
