TH AT LASH P URCHASE AGAIN, g ORANGEB?RG, S. C., October 6. TO TilK EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Dear Sir-The preface of S. G. Jamison to certain certificates, published in your issue of yesterday, ls beneath my notice. In regard to my land transaction, allow me to say That I never was an agent ot the land com? mission. That I did not sell the Collier tract of land to the State, but to a company of colored men, who are fully able to pay for it. That I have as much right to buy and sell land as any other man in South Carolina. That if Collier made the statements alleged in certificates, he is a fool or a knave, or both. In regard to thc certificate of L. R, Beck? with, his sole desire appears to be to let the people know that he did make a speech, as he calls lt, once In his life. His statement of a conversation with me is simply absurd. I never had any such conversation with him. Respectfully, THAD. C. ANDREWS. CERTIFICATE. ORANOEBURG, S. C.. October 6, 1870.

The lodseBjof tue German army in killed and wounded, thus far in thc campaign, aro esti? mated at 150,000 men, but King William bas still over 500,000 soldiers at bis disposal. Herr Wickede, writing from Nancy to the Cologne Gazette-, refers to the daily arrival of numer? ous soldiers of the supplementary battalion, who are to be drafited off into varions regi? ments, and saye : This numerous reinforcement, which in thc case ot many regiments, already amon?is to 600 or 800 men, is very welcomo to many of tho divisions, as compensating the frightful losses j of the month of August, and in some measure filling up ranks which aro but too thin. These losses were very unequally distributed, accord? ing as accident caused the trooos to take more or less share in saugiiroary battles. That ol tho regiments, tor example, ot the Fourth (Saxon) army corps, with the excep? tion of thc Twenty-seventh, Sixiy-seveoth and Thirty-first, have scarcely been tia'1er tire, and the entire Sixth (Siiesian) corps has suffered only uomiual losses through the enemy's bul? lets. The Fifth division, with the splendid Brandenburg infantry legiments, and thc Sec? ond and Twelfth Dragoons, which a'.cnfi for five hours sustained tho attack of three hosido army corps, were those v/ho suffered most se? verely on the ICtli, at Mars-la-Tour. There are here battalions which have scarcely 500 men under arms, aud at mest six or eight officers, tho others being all dead or wounded. Ott the 18th at Gravelotte the Infantry Guard suffered frightfully, a quarter of tho men and half tbo officers being lacking. Tho Artillery Guard bas hardly hali its complement, and only four or six officers still on duty, and the two regi? ments o? the Dragoon Guards were eo shat? tered that they bad to be worked into a single regiment, whereas tho remaining Cavalry Guards have hi rdly been under firo. On tue 16th the 7th cuirassier regiment suffer? ed fcarfally, so that in tbe evening it was hardly 200 men strong. Of the 1st army corps some regiments have had heavy lossee; tbe second bas suffered'loss; the"16th regiment of J?e 7th army corps very severely, eomo com? panies now numbering hardly 100 men. Of the 8;U army corps the 40th fusilier regiment, in spite of every reinforcemout, hardly mus? ters 600 men. As to the losses at Beaumont and Sedan and elsewhere, I know nothing cer? tain. The Saxons had considerable lo?ses, likewise some Bavarian infantry regiments, the Wurtcnibeigers relatively less, and the Baden troops which are before Strasbourg least of all. lt will be tolerably near the truth if one estimates that all tho troops np to the present time have beca weakened bv 60.000 killed and wounded, and 20.000 or 30,000 aick. Prisoners may number 900 or 1000. The French Losses. The killed, wounded and prisoners of tho French army, in the campaign from Saar? br?cken to Sedan, it ia calculated, amount to 230,824 officers and men. The killed aud wounded amount to 05,000, distributed as follows : In the battles and re? treat from Wisseaburg to the Moselle. 30,000 men; in the battles around Metz, 25,000; aud In Hie battles around and at Sedan, 40,000. The prisoners alone number 2571 officers and 132,250 men, making a total or 185,824, o? whom 32,000 were taken in the battles around Sedun. and 2325 officers and 84.450 men, or S6,775, at the capitulation. The prisoners taken at Laon, Toni and Strasbourg, lt is calculated, will swell thc losses to 250,0U0. To these must be added tho 70,000 men ot Ba zaine's army, cooped up in Metz, and the fugitive detachments,, amounting to 5000 or GOOO men, which, escaping from Sedan into Belgium, were disarmed and made prisoners. It is therefore believed that of the standing arav of 350,000 men which Napoleon bad at his disposal when the campaign commenced, less than 50,000 able-bodied soldiers arc now in the service of France. The losses in mate? rials of war arc also immense. The official report gives the capture of 10,2S0 horses, 102 I mitrailleurs, SS7 field guns aud heavy artillery, over 400 wagons, several pontoon trains, mili? tary magazines, railway trains, large quanti? ties of small arms, ammunition, clothing, equipments, forage and provisions. The Frencli losses in the retreat of McMahon from Woerlli embrace two magazines, 10,000 wool? len blankets, 40,000 bags of rice-, coffee and sugar; large quantities of wine, rum and to? bacco, the latter article being valued at four hundred thousand dollars. THE JOIST COMMITTEES OF ELECTIONS.-The following card appears in the Columbia Phoenix of Saturday: Tlie secretary of thc executive committee of the Union Reform party exceedingly regrets to annouuee to the public, that the efforts on the part of the committee lo secure lair play lu the coming election have been fruitless. We were confident, at one time, that, our requests being so reasonable and fair, there would be no objection; but there is evidently strenuous opposition to any one ol' the Reform party being present with the boxes from the time the polls open until the votes ure counted out. Unless this arrangement is made in some ol the counties, we are credibly informed, by both Republicans aud Reformers, iiir.t we will i not get a fair count. It .is evident, from the i very fact that some of the commissioners re I fuse to consent to this arrangement, that they j intend il necessary to operate with the votes to our loss. Near or quite one million of dol? lars, directly or indirectly, are at stake iu this contest; thc temptation* is too great, and no three men of any one party should bc subject? ed to lt. If a customer orders fifty ponnds of sugar or coffee of his grocer, and ibo grocer refuses to weigh it out because you are present, it is al? most proof positive that he intends to cheat you if he eau: and just PC we regard this vote counting. Tlie Governor and Mr. Rangier aro very pro? fuse in their expressions of a desire for us to have fair play, but when you come lo reduce this matter to something tangible and practi? cable, it is explained away so you can't find ir. Some are told it is a matter they can't control, it rests with thc commissioners, and it would not do to cast any reflections upon them or their honesty, &c.,'&c. il is very well known lo everybody that Governor Scott and Mr. Ran? sier occupy just snell a position with their party that any advice given bv them in good faith would be implicitly obeyed bv the mana? gers and commissioners. E. W. SEIBBLS, Secretary Executive Committee U. R. P. -General Ripley, who has been reported bv telegraph as serving under Trochu in defend? ing Paris, writes from London, 18th Septem? ber, that he is not engaged in the present war, but expects soon to return to this country as 'he agenr of a great English mining company.

General Dupre, commanding the French, was slightly wounded. Skirmishing has com menced belore Newbrelsach. George Saunders writes from Paris that Paris is good for a sixty days' siege. The Pall Mall Gazette's correspondent says the same. Another dis? patch says Paris is now at the mercy of the Prussian guns on thc heights of Ville Julfl*. There are no Prussians In the Department of Aube. The Prussians again threaten Gisors. Burnside writes from Paris that the people are calm. The city has its usual appearance. He had an interview with Favre, who was hourly expecting a visit trora Bismarck. Pierre Fitte, near St. Denis, has been abandoned by the French.

Great surprise and regret is expressed at the Prussia a Embassy at the shipment of arms from the Uni led States for France. The Manchester Guardian has a special an? nouncing that bombardment will commence early next week, preceded by a formal sum? mons to surrender. Tlie Journal de Brnxells is responsible for the story that negotiations are now pending oetween the German Government and Napo? leon, backed by Russia, the object being to prevent the establishment of a French Re? public. It is thought the Prussians will not oppose the convocation of the French Constituent As? sembly. Railroads eastward of Paris run day and night, bringing up Prussian siege guns. Yesterday, when the French attacked Gene? ral Rimmers* Division, the Imperial Guard was engaged. Tho French directed several divisions against the First and Tenth Prussian Corps on the right bank of the Moselle, where the cannonading was severe. German losses In the Tentli Corps were 500, and in the Third Corps 130 men. RuBkin writes that Prussia pusheB her suc? cess too tar. She should concede an armistice and oller terms possible to French honor. A telegram to the Times, dated Berlin, ll o'clock, says on the hills between Sevres, St. Cloud and Bouglven, batteries of siege guns have been placed. A mortar battery at St. Cloud threatens the neighborhood of Elysian Fields. The French occupy Ville Juif. Easterly winds continue, aiding Parisian aronauts. War News from French Sources. ST.

Ulric will receive the Grand Cross ot the Legion of Honor. The Papal troops and the Garibaldians number six thousand, and form the nucleus ol new armies. The journals here believe Napoleon the author of '.he Wilhelmshohe mani?esto, not? withstanding Preirie's denial. The denial was prompted because the document waa unfavo? rably received. A letter lrora Paris has the following: "The Mobiles from Brittany are Christian heroes, who have moral courage. Before combat they kneel and pray, and receive a blessing irom the priest. As a 6ign of the times," the wri. ter adds, "the people do not sneer and laugh at tliis." Colonel Chavetti, of tho Pontifical Zouaves, calls for volunteers.

We shall defend the place with the Garde Na? tionale and firemen." Paris advices stale that thc government sub? sidies have been withdrawn from operas und thrcalres, which are all closed.

V ' With the fall of Strasbourg/and Toni, and perfected communication witto Pont-a-Mous son, Prussian tactics changed.,^Voiding forts, the Prussians now march upon large towns direct.

The government has been weak enough to yield in some points to these men. They also demand the destruc? tion ot* tlie column ol' Vendome, and all monu? ments pertaining to thc Bonapartes. A Strong Letter from Louis Blanc. LONDON, October 7. Louis Blanc has written a letter to the En lish people, which appears in the Official Jour? nal of Saturday last, In which he says the siege of Paris Isa monstrous phenomenon, which will be the scandal of history. Civilization ls a prisoner in Puris. The King ol Prussia ls the Attila of the nineteenth century. He appeals to the English people, but not for pity, lor Re? publican France lias a right to the sympathies of all. He then desbribes tho war, willoh, ho says, ls Pan-Germanism gone mad. The King of Prussia ought to have stopped the war after tbe capitulation of Sedan, when the empire had disappeared and thc republic was pro? claimed. He quotes from an article lu thc Dally News of September 7th, saying the Repub? lican party Is In no wise responsible for tho present war, Ac, and he dares any one to deny that since September 4 their party has repre? sented Hie aspirations and genius of France. It is not true Hutt Mic French nation has this terrible conflict upon its conscience. Thc King ot Prussia is a desperate gambler, but the bloody game of battle may turn against him. He concludes: "If the English people under? stand tlmt our cause is that or the whole world, being that of justice, it ls for them to ponder, to act in what concerns them-the consequences of leaving the right of conquest unbridled. A nation which, by Its indiffer? ence, suuetions the saturnalia of force, risks experiencing them, and deserves to do EO. It is the business of the English people to look to lt. It ls ours lo prove to thc world that our cause ls Just, and this being understood, to dio for the right, which never dies, or conquer with UV I Losses at Strasbourg.

An enthusiastic Reform meeting was held here on Saturday night. Colonel J. P. Thomas presided. Judge Bacon, of Edgefleld, spoke for about an hour, and showed up Elliott's Budden wealth, bribery and rascality in a very able speech. General Butler spoke for an hour and a half. His was the grandest speech of the campaign. He repeated his charges against Scott, and ad? duced prools. His speech created great ex? citement, and elicited rapturous and repeated rounds ol applause. The crowd could not all get in the Courthouse. In prool of the tenth charge against Scott, General Butler read the following letter from General Hampton : COLUMBIA, October 8. To General JIL C. Butler: MT DEAR GENERAL-Your communication, asking me to give you an account of what transpired at Ihe Interview I bad with Gov? ernor Scott, In 18G8, reached me on my return home day before yesterday, and In accordance with your request, I beg to make the following statement : A few days after the murder ol Randolph, I was requested by Governor Scott, through a irlend, to call on him, which I did on the following day. As no one but Governor Scott and myself were present at this Interview, I shall not re? peat what was then said, and will reler only to what passed at a subsequent meeting. By request I called again on Governor Scott at his house on the ni^ht of Tuesday, October 27th, accompanied by two friends. In the con? versation that ensned, I told Governor Scott that as Grant's election was now rendered nearly certain, the vote of this State would not effect the general result, but that our peo? ple would sett'.e dowrjjunuch more quietly If the vote of the State should be cast in favor of the ?Democratic candidate, tmd tba: I regarded it of great consequence in the interest ol peace that such should be the case. To this Governor Seott agreed, and after further conversation he made thc following pledges: First. That he would use his influence to make the State go Democratic. Second. That he woiild endeavor to induce a sufficient number of the colored members of the Legislature to resign, so that the whites might secure a strong representation In both houses. Third. That he would appoint to o Ult e. whenever he could do so, such men as were recommended by the Democratic party. And fourth. That he would issue a proclamation commending the action ot the executive committee, and calling on his party to exer? cise the same spirit of conciliation and for? bearance as the ?D?mocratie -party had been I'urged to do in the address of their executive committee. This proclamation was written, (as I was subsequently lnlormed,) by one of the gentlemen who was present at the Inter? view; was signed by Governor Scott, and pub? lished on the 27th of October. As Governor Scott has broken faith with me, I no longer regard the communication he made as confidential. You are, therefore, at liberty to use this letter as you may please. I am very truly yours, WADE HAMPTON. ALL ABOUT THE STATE. Mr. Thomas Dodd, Sr., ol Walhalla, died on the 23d. Mr. James Johnson, ot Barnwell, died on Saturday last Musbery Sims, colored, has been arrested at Unlonvllle, lor stealing $700 from Mr. Terrei Jones.

During the diflicilty, a colored man, named London Sanders, was pretty badly cut in the back ot his head. On Sunday night last some one attempted to break iuto the ""dwelling occupied by Mrs. Ab? ernathy, at Unlonville, by smashing in the whole 'sash of a window. The noise awoke Mrs. A., who roused her son and sent him to a neighbors for help. Thc scoundrel, on Anding the inmates were aroused, made his escape.

The Barnwell Sentinel gives the following corred ton ot the reports of murders in that district : On the night of the 19th of Septem? ber, between the hours ol' 8 and 9 o'clock, two men (colored) called Moses Bonnet, colored, out ol' his house, and after a short conversa? tion with him, asked him to let Hiern see his gun, telling him they wanted lo soe what kind of a gun his was. As soon as they got posses? sion ol'his gun, one ot them fired nt Bonnet three or four times, three balls taking effect on his person. After leaving Bonnet they went to Mr. Josiah Kendle**, who was standing In or near hts door, willi a light In bu liana. When the iwu mon arrived at his "ate. without saying a word, they opened fire on Mr. Kendle. After discharging several shots, none ol' which took effect, they directed their course towards Edbto River. On arriv? ing ot Mr. J. H. Red's, who lives a short dis? tance from the river, nnd willi whom July Owens was living, they called July Owens out lo his gate, and asked him to give them some tobneco. Owens started to tret the tobacco, but just as he was about entering his house, he was fired upon, one ball laking effect in his side, which proved fatal In a day or two. Moses Bonnet died from the effect of his wounds on the 23d ultimo. Jupiter Johnson, colored, has been lodged in Jail, as one ol the guilty pnrty. His accomplice is still at large.

General Butler and Judge Bacon addressed the citizens of Columbia, lo the Courthouse, oo Saturday night. The Phoenix says : "Gene? ral Butler was received with great applause, and proceeded to repeat his charges against Governor Scott, and to accompany them with distinct specifications. He repeated and re? affirmed them all, and in connection with his charge that Governor Scott had made certain pledges on the eve of the last Presidential election, with regard to the colored members of the Legislature, ic, General Butler read a letter irom General Hampton, which produced1 a profound sensation. General Hampton fully confirmed the charge that had been made in connection with his Interview with Governor Scott." BARNWELL. The Journal touches upon the Joint commit? tee matter, and says : "The letters of Gene? ral Kerahaw and Mr. BajnBler aro all right, butf election day ls drawing near, and we would' like to hear of arrangements being made for carrying out the above proposition as far as regards Barnwell County. Have Messrs. W. J. Mixon, J. N. Hayne and C. D. Hayne, the managers of elections for Barnwell county, been consulted as to what they think of the matter ? If they have not, we respectfully urge that lt ls high time they .were. We have no doubt that they will be perfectly willing to enter Into the arrangement, and will, if re? quested, instruct the sub-managers appointed by them to afford every facility to the com? mittees from both parties to see that every? thing ls conducted fairly aud squarely." Thc Reform mass meeting on Monday was addressed by Messrs. Robert Aldrich and S. W. Trott. CLARENDON. The Reform mass meeting at Clarendon on Monday was well attended, and much inter? est manifested In the great work of Reform. The colored men in attendance, gave earnest heed to what was said, and, If we may judge from the occasional nods of their heads, ap? proved and endorsed the appropriate, sound and sensible address or Colonel C. W. Dudley, who Is now a candidate on thc Reform ticket for Congress for the First Congressional Dis? trict of South Carolina. The Press says: "From every quarter of our county, and from tho various reports ot our exchanges, we get cheering and glowing accounts of the Reform party. Its good effects is rapidly spreading all over the State. Both white and colored are fast putting away past prejudice and enlisting In thc work ot Reform. We now have scarcely any doubts at all of an overwhelming success for Carpenter and Butler." UNION. Tho Unionvllle Times, writing of the Ran sier-Kershaw correspondence, says : "Noth? ing has been done to give the. matter practical effect. In case lt should end thus, we repeat our suggestion that at each ballot-box meu of both parties be selected to keep strict watch on the boxes, and demand of the commissioners that they count the votes openly. There is noth-1 lng in the law to prohibit the commissioners from openly counting the votes before the j people, and the man who refuses to do it, you may be assured, Intends to commit a base fraud. Any man who has a particle of self respect and desires the will of the people to be fairly expressed through the ballot-box, will gladly accept tho proposition, and only those who intend to cheat will refuse lt." A Reform mass meeting was held at Unioa ville on Monday. Colonel Macbeth, the Rev. A. A. Jame3 and others made speeches. The Times adds : "All passed off quietly, and we have no doubt much good seed was sowu In honest hearts that will bring forth a large ma? jority for the Reform ticket on the 19tu.

Massey, colored, Ell W. Belk, white. The Ledger says: "This ticket fared the same fete ot the first, and the delegates, or a small portion o? mein, were reasttemoiea on Monday night, and all efforts to heal the breach having failed, a postponement was effected. It seems that the white scalawags, o? whom there are about twenty-Are tn the county, wish to monopolize all the offices, not? withstanding their frequent declarations that they did not join the party for office. The thing is made plain to the colored people now.'* THE COT TOIT MOVEMENT. NEW YOEE, October 9. The cotton movement is heavier than any previous week this season.
