VOLLME XI.-NUMBER 1774. CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER I, 1871. 4f WORK OF THE FIRE FIEND. FRfGH TFCL DEV.i STATION OF TBE FLAMES TS tFISCOXSHY. The Destruction of Peshtigo-The Fire Blown by a Tornado Entirely Across the Village-Great Loss of Lift . A correspondent, writing from Menasha, Wis., on the 11th instant, describes the de? struction of Pesr-t'go : The village was situated on Peshtigo River seven miles from Green Bay. It was a nice little town of about two thousand Inhabitants, quite regularly laid out, bad fine hotels, stores, -churches, schools, Ac, besides the large fac? tory owned by the Peshtigo Manufacturing Company, a fash, door and blind factory and foundry also owned by the same company, who owned nearly every building In the town. The factory was devoted to the manufacture of pails, tubs, broom bandies, Ac, and gave em? ployment to about seven hundred bands In the different bran ches. The town ls nearly sur? rounded by pire forests, the suburban portions being built "among the pines." The inhabit? ants have for the past ten days been fighting Are in the wood?, trying to save the town, and bad settled down into a fee'ing of compara? tive security, since the woods on all sides had been more or less burned over. On Sunday night they were awakened Irom tilts feeling of security by a noise like distant thunder. ^ich increased in volume until the crash ot lolling trees and the roar of the wind ?nd tire could be plainly heard. Scon after a tornado burst upon the town, unroofing a number of building?, and quickly followed by a. solid sheet ot flame, extending the whole length ot the village and lar beyond each way. In an Instaut the whole exposed side of the place was in flames. Men, women and children rushed into the street, and. surrounded by fire on all sides, were soon either smothered or burned to death. In the less exposed por? tions ?he people fled to the river, and, jump? ing in, many were drowned. Some saved their lives by keeping their bodies well under water, jjMBjjAnii once in awhile putting their heads under as T ^ine heat became Insufferable. Others took re? fuge in wells and cisterns and were saved. Quite a large portion of the inhabitants ran to a deld to the leeward of the Are, and by lying on the ground were saved, although some of these were badly burned. There ls but one house left standing, and that ls isolated and lately built of green lumber. As near as can at pres? ent be ascertained, 250 lives have been lost, mostly women and children. Although a good .many men have perished, lhere are 75 who are badly burned, many ot whom will die, and nearly ail are more or less burned. The de? struction has been so complete that the streets cannot be traced, all being covered with sand, which was swept In great clouds by the torna? do. In some instances bodies have been found completely covered by sand. I could fill columns with heart-rending inci? dents of this conflagration, but will only give a few as Illustrative of the rest. In one In? stance a man took, his family and fled to the bridge spanning the river. The bridge was soon on Are, and the poor unfortunate family were nearly roasted alive, and then Jumped into the river and were drowned. A woman, on seeing the Are approaching, put her little girl, a child of six years, In a well, which was nearly dry, and ran to the river herself for security. The woman was saved, and, as soon as' she could, found out the locality, and her joy was so great at Anding the little one alive and well, that she swooned, and on re? covering clasped her child in her arms, and ran off crying for |oy. Two few, alas, were so fortunate. In many cases whole families have perished. In other cases men have lost their families, they -being, at the time of the Are, work? ing to save the factories. In other Instances men perished In their endeavor to Bave their families. In one case to which my attention was called, a little boy of seven years Is the only surviving member of a numerous family. As soon as the fire had sufficiently subsided, all that were able went to the relief of the sufferer?. Blackened, charred corpses were lying in every direction, with their clothing, ~as a general thing, nearly or quite burned jSbff. Many dead bodies were found In the river, and many more have since been recov? ered. A number have died from their bruises, while others are crippled or fearfully disfig? ured. The most imaginative mind cannot be? gin to realize this fearful calamity, much less my poor pen to describe it. The shrieks and groans of the dying, and of those who had lost near and dear friends; the ghastly aspect ot the blackened corpses; the shocking appear? ance of many who, bad ly burned and almost des? titute of clothing, were running they knew not where; others Tn the last agonies of death made a picture too horrid for contemplation. The sufferers have all been taken to Green Bay and other towns, where they will be kind? ly cared Tor, as hospitality ls one of the mark? ed traits of the West. The loss to the Pesh? tigo Company, who owned the factories and most of the town, besides large pine lands, ls estimated at three million dollars, besides the loss of their extensive warehouses in Chicago. Mennekaunee, a town of seven or eight hun? dred inhabitants, is all destroyed but three houses. Fortunately, no lives were lost here, lisrinette is also nearly all destroyed. Busi? ness in this section is partially suspended. All the saw mills and factories at Oskosh, Fon du Lac, and other neighboring towns, are stopped by an order of the authorities. FROM CHICAGO. Hore Scenes pud Incidents of the Great Conflagration. The full horrors of the Chicago fire will prob? ably never be accurately known. For a long time to come they will not be adequately de? picted, even if entirely realized. We append some extracts from the accounts in the North? ern papers : THE SCENE IX THE TUNNEL. One of the most dramatic and impressive scenes ot the Are, not yet reported, was the Algbt through the new LaSalle street tunnel under the river during Sunday night. It was about 2 o'clock when* this strange hegira be? gun, and In ten minutes lt became a furious route. The bridges-on both sides were on Are, and the Hames were writhing over the decks of the brigs in the river, and winding their fierce arms of flame around the masts and through the rigging like a monstrous, lumt Si devil-fish. The awful canopy of Are drew n and closed over Water street as the shrieking multitude rushed for the tunnel, the only avenue of escape. The gas works bad already blown up, and there was no light In any house save the illumination which lighted up only to destroy. But Into the darkened cave rushed pell-mell, from all directions, the fren zled crowd-bankers, thieves, draymen, wives, children-in every stage of undress, as they had leaped lrom burning lodgings, a howling Imploring, cursing, praying, walting mo%\ matyng their desperate dive under the river. It was as dark In the tunnel as lt is in the cen? tre of the earth, perhaps darker. Hundreds of the fugitives were laden with lurniture, house? hold goods, utensils, loaves ot bread and pieces of meat, and their rush through the almost suffocating tunnel was tearful In the extreme. They knocked each other down, and the strong trod on the helpless. Nothing was heard at the mouth of the cavernous prison but a muf? fled howl ot rage and anguish. Several came forth with broken limbs and terrible bruises, as they scattered and resumed their flight un? der the blazing sky in the North Ward." A CONSUMING FIRE. There Is an amazing absence of debris, for the Are seems to have literally s ?allowed all these huge houses, leaving nothing behind but heaps of ashes and a few scraps of iron. I had expected to And i he streets encumbered with huge masses of bricks, iron, and other refuse, but found them almost entirely clear, and no? where so blocked as to be Impassable for vehi? cles. It seemed as if the Are devoured the buildings so rapidly that only inMgniflcant fragments tell to the ground, and I can readily believe the statemeni that the flames spread lrom block to blobk laster than a man could walk. Bur, complete as ls the destruction In the South Division, lt ls as nothing compared with ibat in the North Division. There, with one exception, everything is levelled even with the streets. Not a timber remains, nor one single brick in its place. The one excep? tion ia another marvel ol this great conflagra lion, as lt is a trame house that was in the ?idst of the fire, and yet lt is scarcely touched. NO SABBATH. lhere was practically no Sabbath on the North Side. Hundreds were engaged in put? ting up shanties to sheller them from the rigors of winter, of which tLe temperature of to day was a sharp reminder. Thus far some two hundred of these improvised dweliings have been put up or been commenced, and only a few days hence Chicago will closely resemble those temporary towns which marked the progress of the Pacific Railroad. It is re? quired that these shanties shall not be more than one story high, and the requirement is generally obeyed; but I saw three which were two stories high. In several cases, while the father was building the house, the mother and children were gathered near by arranging remnants of household goods saved irom the flames ready to be placed In the new domicile when finished. Only a few hours are required to complete these make-shifts lor dwellings. I saw just now a mother, worried by five Fmall wailing children, under a shed quietly engaged In cooking their noonday meal of lood, fur? nished by a generous nation, using a shattered stove picked up somewhere among the ruins. Scenes like this can be encountered at every step. THE DEAD BODIES. It is an impossibility for the human mind lo conceive ot a sight more heartrending than the one presenten at No. 64 Milwaukee avenue, the temporary morgue for the reception of the victims of the conflagration. The place is In charge of Officer Mitchell, and guarded by a siroug posse of police, but despite the stren? uous exertions it is impossible to maintain anything like system or regularity in the ex? hibition ol the bodies. Thousands of people are congregated thereabouts, and fairly be? siege ihe building. Mothers in search of their missing children, wives for their husbands, and husbands tor their wives and families, children sobbing for their lost parents and friends-all sunk to the very depth of human misery and desolation. The number of bodies so tar brought lc reaches nearly or quite eigh? ty, but lt is not possible to recognize more than half a dozen, being lor the most part actually burned lo a crisp. TUE LAND AND COURT RECORDS. Next to the fearful loss of life and the terrible destruction of property the questions which most concern the people of Chicago are those relating to the land and court records. All the records ot deeds and mortgages are destroyed. This Includes all thereat es? tate not only In Chicago, but In Cook County, with its numerous suburban towns. Fortunate? ly, the abstracts of titles In the office of Shor tall & Hoar, conveyancers, are known to be safe. A leading member of the Chicago bar gives lt as bis opinion that the title to all the property In the county can re re-es? tablished by means ol these abstracts. The legislature will probably pass some enabling act to cover the case. As to the value of real estate, it ls now en? tirely indeterminate, because lt ls Impossible to divine where the future business centre will be. The latter will depend upon the loca? tion selected by the leading business houses, which are already in consultation. There ls not a law office nor a law library left in Chi chago, except the lew small duplicate libraries at the residences of the leading lawyers. There ls not a paper showing that there is a suit j pending in any ol 'he six courts of record in Cook County, including the Federar Court. There ls not an Indictment in existence in the countv against any one-not a Judgment, not a petition In bankruptcy, In the Federal courts. Even the duplicate files that the law? yers kept in their offices are all gone. A few may have escaped by being taken to the houses for Sunday or night work. We may add that there are In Chicago about five hun? dred lawyers. The fire seized the upper por? tion of the central part of the courthouse, and sent the great bell crashing down through the building io the place where the records were kept, and the mass of ruins thus crea? ted made lt Impossible to preserve the county records, upon which the establishment of proofs of ownership to real properly de? pended. Nevertheless, one tact will doubtless gr?vent the confusion which must otherwise attend the loss of these valuable papers. The [ two abstract firms of Messrs. Chase, Brothers & Co.; and F. w. Jones & Co., succeeded in saving all of their books, which contain an allusion, by way ot index, to every pending' suit, every Judgment, and nearly every execu? tion. They Lave also preserved their map books. CRIME IS THE STATE. Robbery In Newberry. The Herald says: "Last Wednesday night a negro man, who gives his name as Llmus Ruff, allas Llmus Suber, alias Bill Holloway, entered the second story window of Mr. Foot's residence, by ascending a tree and getting upon the porch. He raised the window and entered the thamber ol the young ladles, who were aroused from sleep by the villain's placing his band upon the throat of one ol the young ladles. Their screams awoke the family, when the fellow made bis escape. He was soon after tracked and taken by the young men of the family, and lodged In Jail. The outrage will serve as a warning to our citizens to be watchful." Homicide in Williamsburg. The Star says : "Tom McCottry, sometimes called Tom McElveen, shot and killed a young negro girl called Clarinda on last Wednesday. Tom, we learn, was In an altercation with bis wife, who was the mother of the girl by a for? mer husband. The girl took part for her mother and 6aid something to Tom, who de? liberately shot her, the contents of his gun taking effect about her neck, killing her in? stantly. He immediately made bis escape, and has not been arrested up to this time. The Jury of inquest returned a verdict of wilful murder. We think a reward of five hundred dollars. Governor Scott's price for murderers In this district, would bring Tom to justice." .1 SINGULAR CASE. A case of udusuai interest has lust been de? cided in the Supreme Court of Illinois. Dur? ing the first year ol the war, when General S. B. Buckner, ot Kentuckey, entered the Con? federate service, in order to protect himself j against confiscation he and Mrs. Buckner con veyed to the brother ot the latter, Henry Kingsbury, the large estate in Illinois which Mrs. Buckner had inherited from her fattier. Mr. Kingsbury was an officer in the United States army, and was killed at the battle of] Shargsburg. A month or two after his death his widow gave birth to a son, whose guardians claimed, that he was entitled to the whole property, there being no documentary proof I of any trust to Colonel Kingsbury on behalf of | his sister, Mrs. Buckner, and the court so adjudged. It appeared subsequently that Col? onel Kingsbury, before going to Sharpsburg, made a written disposition ot the whole prop? erty, which amounted to a will, In which he bequeathed one-third of the estate to bis Bister, Mrs. Buckner. This will was admitted to pro? bate and duly recorded, and Mrs. Buckner in? stituted proceedings for the recovery of her property, alleging that tr e deed which she and General Buckner made .0 her brother was in reality only a deed ot trust, and that the be? quest of the will was a fulfilment of it, though lt only gave her one-third, while, lu fact, she was entitled to one-half, accounting for the discrepancy by the mistaken bellet ot her brother, that he, Mrs. B. and their mother were entitled to equal portions. The guar? dians of the child Insisted that the will was not a valli one, and that the deed of conveyance to Colonel Kingsbury was absolute, and not a trust deed. The Supreme. Court of Illinois havo quite recently decided that the deed to Kingsbury was a trust deed, aud ordered the restoration ot the estate to Mrs. Buckner. The property was situated In Chicago, and be? t?re the fire was >'alued at upwards of a mil? lion ol' dollars. We are sincerely glad that General Buckner has recovered his property, and hope that it was not Included In the late devastating fire. EMANCIPA noy IS BRAZIL. ., Nsw YORK, October 19.

The Presidential Election-South Car? olina in Hot Water-An Angry Dis? cussion ?nd A imo it a Row-Judge Wright Gives the Convention a Din? ner-Who Were There, die. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBS NEWS ] COLUMBIA, October 10. SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The convention was called to order to-day at 10 o'clock. There were a great many reso? lutions introduced to-day, which foreshadow the work ol the convention. AU the resolu? tions submitted were referred to the commit? tee on communications and resolutions ex? cept one on the endorsement of carpetbag? gers, which was adopted unaolmously amid great cheering. Resolutions endorsing Grant's administration were relerred , also a res? olution by Rapier, of Alabama, that a committee to consist of one from each State and territory represented In the convention be appointed to select a suit? able person to be supported in the next National Republican Convention, as the choice of the colored people of the South for the ? Presidency of the United States; by Quarles, of | Georgia, that Congress be urged to pass the supplemental civil rights bill, introduced in tue Senate of Hie United Slates by Mr. Sum? ner. Resolutions tavoring the annexation of | St. Domingo and the admission of lady visi? tors- to seats on the floor were also Introduced and relerred. All the stand? ing committees were appointed and were busy all day preparing their work to be submitted to the convention to? morrow. A lively discussion took place to-day between members or the South Carolina dele? gation and some members of the Georgia and Louisiana delegations. Burch, of Louisiana, said that I he South Carolina delegation were making efforts to control the convention. Con? gressman Rainey rose, repelled the accusation, and disavowed any intention on the part of | his colleagues to do so. An angry discus? sion foUowed, which was participated in by delegates from other States. The presi? dent, however, checked the debate, which at ona time threatened to assume a dangerous aspect. Associate Justice Wright, of the Supreme Bench, gave a sumptuous dinner this evening to the members ot the convention, at which there were many Invited guests, among whom wereChlei Justice Moses, Associate Justice Willard and Senator Robertson. A CASE OF RADICAL "JUSTICE.' "Judex Damnatur Cum Nonns Abao britur." BRANCHVILLE, S. C., October 16'. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. None of the people In this neighborhood wish to step outside of tbejaw to obtain re? dress for wrongs, but we want sufficient and' adequate punishment Inflicted when crime ls committed, and we hold that the judge who denies us this is a party to any unlawful acts that may in, consequence arise. A case In point has created quite an excitement In this community. On or about the 4th of July last, Mr. F., (who had lately been married,) on his return from work, found his wile nearly dead from wounds Inflicted by an axe In the hands of NeUy Grimes, colored. Like a law-abiding citizen, instead of taking the matter In his own hands, he Immediately applied for a war? rant of arrest for the Bald Nelly Grimes. The arrest was made the next night as she was attempting to escape on the cars, and she was sent to jan at Orangeburg to await trial for "assault and battery with Intent to kill." On the case being called at the October session of the court, she plead guilty to tho entire charge, and was sentenced to thirty days. in jail. Is this an adequate punishment lor a crime like this ? A young, Inoffensive and estimable lady nearly killed; laid up in bed for along time, ber health perhaps permanently Injured, and her fiendish assailant, with the stamp of I evil passions on her face, punished for her little Indiscretion with thirty days in jail. Verily, mercy wss a little too heavy In the scales of justice In this case. C. THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. WASHINGTON, October 19. In the Supreme Court. No. 96. the State of | Louisiana, ex rel.

THE TRIENNIAL EPISCOPAL CON? VENTION Representation of Missionary Juris? dictions-Theological Education. TWELFTH DAT-OCTOBER 17. The committee on unfinished business, through the Rev. Wm. Payne, D. D., ot the Diocese of Albany, reported that upon review of the Journal of 1868, they find the following are the principal matters which require action on the part of this house: 1. The proposed additional cycle, (see p. 79, Journal, 18G8.) 2. The proposed amendment to the jth arti? cle of the constitution, (see p. 136.) Several subjects are in the hands ol commit? tees, who may be expected to report to this convention, viz : "On communication with the Russo-Greek Church." (p. 140.) "Ou Italian reform movement," (p. 103.) "On republication of early Journale," (pp. 113. ll*.) "Ona new hymnal," (p. 147.) "To examine proof-sheets of standard Bi? ble," (pp. 120,121.) "On friendly Intercourse with the Church of Sweden," (p. 167.) Committees were also appointed to report to this convention on "The German translation of the prayer? book." (p. 161.) "The French translation of the pwyer book," (p. 161.) "The Swedish translation of the prayer? book." (p. 161.) The committee on the prayer-book were ordered te report to this convention on sever? al subjects which it ls thought unnecessary to enumerate. REPRESENTATION" OF MISSIONART JURISDICTION. Rev. Mr. McNamara, of Nebraska, moved to take up the canon reported from the commit? tee on canons, admitting to seats in the house deputies from missionary Jurisdiction?, which was agreed to. The chair announced as the committee to prepare a fraternal address to the Disestablish? ed Church of Ireland : Rev. Drs. Perry and Adams and Mr. McCrady. Judge Battle, of North Carolina, being en? titled to the floor on the pending question, contended that to admit representatives of missionary jurisdictions would be contrary to the constitution, and claimed further that there was DO necessity for such admission. Mr. Ruggles, ot New York, combatted the ar? guments of Judge Battle, declaring that lhere was no constitutional prohibition, and that lt will be for the good and the benefit of the church to admit these representatives. THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION. The subject was then laid over to consider the order of the day, which was the report of the joint committee on theological education, as iollows : "The joint committee appointed at the last General Convention, Ho consider the present state of theological education In this church, and the means for its facilitation and improve? ment, and to report thereon at the next Gen? era! Convention,' ask leave to respectfully re? port: "No more Important topic can engage the attention ot ibis convention or of this church than that ot the training ot our clergy. No age and no country has made or can make stronger demands upon our best efforts to se? cure the best results in this regard than our own age and our own country. The commit? tee do not care to weary the convection with details or arguments. They simply desire to call attention to the Immense Importance ol the subject committed to them, and to urge the necessity of advanolng Interests so vital to the church. "After careful deliberation they have arrived at the conclusion that the only effectual mode of reaching the desired end ls by a revision of the canons relating lo holy orders and to or? dination. These resolutions are of small ajvall. They repose In the journal of the convention, for the most part unseen and unheard of, and exercising no living, working Influence on the church. . "The commlLlee, therefore, respectfully submit the accompanying projet of revised ca? nons, and recommend their adoption by the convention." Rev. Dr. Hare, of Pennsylvania, said the amended canons proposed by the committee had been written by Bishop Whittingham. He might say that they met the unanimous ap? proval of the committee, and he moved that they be taken up In regular order. The canons proposed to be amended are from canon 2 to canon 9, inclusive Canon 2, as proposed to be amended, was then read by ihe secretary, which provides regulations as to the admission ot persons as candidates for holy orders, as to the grounds of desire for admission to the ministry, attain? ments, character, the manner of application for admission, Ac, attachment to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the Protestant Epis? copal Church. . Rev. Dr. Hare said the present canon on the admission of candidates to the ministry was almost unintelligible, and the committe? had desired in the amended canon to simplify the regulations, and to provide as far as possible against ihe admission of Improper candidates. Rev. Dr. Goodwin, of Pennsylvania, moved to strike out "postulant'' wherever it occurs, and Insert "applicant." He did not think it expedient that young men desiring admission to holy orders should be met at the threshold with these learned words, which are seldom used. He did not think the inward desire which might be felt by any one for admission to the ministry made him a "postulant." Rev. Dr. Hare said the commitiee bad not instructed him to be tenacious of words, but lie would say In reierence to the criticism on the word "postulant," that If any one desir? ing admission to the ministry knew so little of the Latin tongue as to be Ignorant of the meaning of the word "postulant," it might well suggest doubts as to the sufficiency of his attainments. The amendment of Rev. Dr. Goodwin was then rejected. [The Right Rev. Dr..Howson, Dean of Ches? ter, here entered escorted by the Rev. Dr. Leeds, and was conducted to a seat on the right hand of ihe president,] Considerable discussion was bad as to the propriety ol requiring the applicant for admis? sion to receive a letter of approval from his spiritual pastor or rector belore giving notice of his Intention to the bishop of the diocese, and it was said that a rector might at some lime be in a morbid state of mind and discour? age those who might seek his counsel as to entering the ministry. Finally an amend? ment, offered by Judge Shelley, ot Virginia, providing that the bishop may, tor satisfactory reasons io himself, admit the applicant to can didateship without a letter of approval- from hiB rector, was adopted. The house adjourned at 3 P. M., with canon two still under consideration. The amended canons, as proposed, cover thirty-two printed pages, and at the adjournment the tourth page only bad been reached. The subject comes up again on Thursday as Hie order of the day. Latest. BALTIMORE, Octobet . :. The committee on canons reported adverse? ly to amending canon 13, title 2, of marriage and divorce. The committee reported ad? versely to creating the office of suffragan bishops. The several reports on uniformity In the ritual was made the special order for to? morrow. TUE ENGLISHMAN ?INS A RACE. NEW YORK, October ld. The Columbia and Livonia started again to? day. The Columbia lost five minutes In the start. When they passed the fort the Livonia was a good mile ahead, with a sliff breeze; when they rounded the lightship the Livonia was five miles ahead, wheu the breeze slack? ened.

The Alleged Whipping of Mr. Batten? berg-an Indignant Denial from the Victim. The following letters appear in the last issue of the Sumter News: SUMTER, October 16.1871. Mr. Editor-The Columbia Daily Union, in Its Issue of the 2d inst., contained an extract (as he says) from a letter from Sumter, writ? ten on Saturday, September 30th, saying that a store-keeper by name of Rettenberg, liv? ing fifteen miles from Sumter, was taken on Friday night previous, and terribly whipped by the Ku-Klux. and for no other reason than his being a Republican. My attention was first called to that article by Mr. Paxton, of the Sumter Watchman; and being satisfied that the malicious and slanderous report alluded to me, I requested him to deny the same through his paper, and made the same request of the editors of the Sumter News, both as regards the whipping and my being a Republican, and stated to tuem at that time that I was called upon three weeks previously by some gentlemen In djsgulse, (whoever they were I do not know)" wno requested to see me, and assured me they would not harm me In the least, tn either person or property, and merely requested me to stop buying seed cotton. And on my giving them an affirma? tive answer, they rode off, and I have never seen them since. Both the Sumter Watchman and the Sumter News have done me the justice to deny my being whipped through their columns, but the Columbia Union still slicks to the lie. On the 5th Instant, I wrote L. Cass Carpenter, the edi? tor and proprietor ot the Union, requesting him to give me the name of his correspondent who wrote that letter, but receiving no reply, on the 9th Inst., I learned from Mr. J. N. Cor? bett, who had Just returned from Columbia, that Mr. Carpenter was not there, and advised me to write to Mr. Everson, who was then editing the Union, which I did that day, and made the same request from him as I did from Mr. Carpenter. And on the 11th instant, I re? ceived the following rerly from Mr. Carpenter, [see letter.] On the 12th instant, I lurnlsbed nlm sufficient proof that I was the person alluded to, by letter from J. N. Corbett, county auditor, certifying there being but one family of Ryttenbergs in this county, and denying the outrageous report. Also, by a letter from Ma? jor Wm. F. DeKnight, assistant assessor Inter? nal revenue, [see bis letter below,] who Is a personal friend of E. W. Everson, sub-editor ot the Union, and yet to this date, ample ttme, he certainly had, to give rae the correspond? ent's name, but has not. Why ? Because he knows lt to be a fte, and tries to shield him by not giving his name. Now, Mr. Editor, having tried, but In vain, to obtain the correspondent's name, who wrote that slanderous and untruthful report about me, I denounce him, whoever he may be, as no gentleman, but a mean, contempta ble scoundrel and liar, and the editor who affirms the responsibility of his correspondent and still refuses to give his name, thereby In? flicting upon me the grossest Injustice and wrong, aa unworthy the confidence of high toned or honest men. H. RTTTENBERQ. OFFICE OF "THE DAILT UNION-," I COLUMBIA., October ll, 1871. j H. Ryttenberg-Dear Sir : Yours ls at hand, asking the name of the correspondent who furnished the information to the whipping of one Rettenberg. Before I can comply with your request lt will be necessary for you to prove to me that you are the person alluded to. Any person can write over the signature of "Ryttenberg". Truly, yours, L. CASS CARPENTER. [Letter from Major Wm. F. DeKnigatl SUMTER, October ll, 1871. Major E. W. Everson-Dear Friend: In an Informal way I will state to you all I know about the Rettenberg affair. That he luis been visited by K. E. he himself made no secret. He openly stated that they called on, and con? strained him to stop buying seed cotton, threatening to compel him if he refused, but on his complying using no violence. That, however, occurred some time (at least three, weeks) bet?re the report of the whipping, which is Dositlvely denied, and has for some time been generally discredited here. It cer? tainly does great harm to so hastily give pub? licity to such a report, without it being posi? tively known to be true. Hearing the rumor myself in the morning your corresDondent wrote, I questioned Mr. Ryttenbete's nrother here as to the fact, and he at once denied the whole occurrence. Truly, yours. (Signed) WM. F.

Jamison, aged ll years, l month and 23 days How heavy rails the burthen when relentless Death enters a home, the abode of happiness and peace, and strUes down one loved one of the fo d. Bat how grievous, Indeed, the blow, when he hovera over that fold wnere but one lamb is '?watched and tended," and ruthlessly chooses his victim ! This thought is suggested by the event which it ls now our mournful doty to an? nounce. Death has entered a happy borne, where a fond father and a tender mother bave been called upon to bid farewell to their young, and beautiful, and promising offspring-the only chilli of their affection-in the early dawn of his life, lent to them for a brief season only, and taken from them as a bud here, to blossom In Ueaven. Noble and manly we knew him In life. Gentle and ptre and lovely were bis character aud disposition. Tru'y may it be said, ' None knew him but to love him." vte see him now in the "Father'i Mansion," where Christ rules, sale from temptation, safe from sii.'e-polluiion. There ne lives, clothed with celestial grace, and there he waits to greet his loved ones1 of this world, when their earthly course ls run. While we moora with the stricken and bereav? ed, and mingle our tears with iselrs over the grave of ttelr only child, we would' remind them that '.These severe afflictions Not frdrh the ground arise, But ortentimes celestial benedictions Assume this-dark disgalse."
