On learning that Russell bad been taken to jail, they proceeded to attaok it, bi\t were dispersed by tho police. The excitement somewhat abated this morning.

A < current resolution, to take a re on Monday to tho third Monda September, pulsed. The uncertainty about the tax bill created much excitement.

Cotton closed heavy-uplauds lO^ij; Orleans 10%. An Historical House in Knoxville. A Knoxville (Tennessee) corres? pondent of tho Cincinnati Gazette, says tho house of Col. Armstrong, near that city, is historical. During a part'of tho siego of Knoxville, it was occupied by rebel sharp-shoot? ers, and only escaped being battered down, because Barnside had but few cannon balls or shells. Neverthe? less, ono of tho latter, a twenty pounder, crashed through thc walls, and several smaller ones marked it in different places. Tho side next Fort Sanders is dented and flecked and shotted with hundreds of bullet marks. Several masked balls may bo seen partially imbedded in tho win? dow sills and frames. lu the parlor stands a piano, exactly where it stood during the fight. Two balls came through the windows and lodged in the wood of tho instrument, where they are yet visible. Tho toues of the piano aro still as beautiful as though tho casing did not contain those grim evidences of a day when no music was beard savo that awful kind 'vhich accompanies upon the field of battlo the messengers of dea(b. In tho tower there is a more frightful truco of the fray. Tho tower is perhaps six feet square, with threo long and very narrow windows. Among tho ene? mies sharp-shooters, when they hold the house, was a young South Caro? linian, who, with several others, occupied tho tower. Peeping from one of tho windows, a bullet, which must have como three-quarters of a mile, crashed into his brain and passed entirely through bia bead. Tho blood poured ont iu two san? guinary streams, as bia comrades dragged him below; and, from tho spot where ho fell to the very bottom of tho stairs, tho two streams, now running parallel, now momentarily, coinciding, and nuon crossing each other, are distinctly visible. Tho round bolo in tho glass through which tho bullet penetratod is also seen. With great taste, Col. Arm? strong has preserved, as far as pos? sible, tho traces of the conflict about his house. It is true, several vigo? rous efforts have boon made to wash away tho blood, but it had been too thoroughly soaked into tho wood beforo Gol. Armstrong's family re? turned to tho residence; and now it will remain thero as long as tho man siou endures, a fearful reminder of tho consequences of war. Deacon Andrews, of Kingston, Mass., is charged with another mur? der, besides tho one for which he is now bdng tried. Proceedings o? Connell. OOUNOLIi CHAMBER, CoiitrMBiA, July 21, 1868.

A bill ontitled an "Ordinanc olose barber shops on the Sab day," received its first reading ordered to its second reading at regular meeting of Council. On motion, Council adjourned J. S. MCMAHON, City Cle Partisan Abtue of Candidate!. The personal abuse which party organs are in the habit of heaping upon the candidates to whom they are opposed, has become one of the greatest scandals in the mode of con? ducting our elections for the Presi? dency. It is fairly to be presumed that any citizen nominated for the li i ghost national ofilco, by any con? siderable portion of tho American people, must be at least of su flic i cn fly | good repute in tho country to be en? titled, when he enters the political tournament, to bo treated with com? mon courtesy. Yet, we scarcely see the Presidential oanvass fairly opened before imputations of drunkenness and insanity aro bandied about as freely as if the contest wero a prize fight, and the journalists were roughs and rowdies backing up their respect? ive champions. This is an old and, we fear, chronic disease of our poli? tical controversies. There has scarcely ever been a President of thc I United States, or a candidate for that1 office, who failed to become the tar? get of tho most disgraceful abuse and defamation. Even Washington was assailed with a bitterness which ren? dered public life a burthen to him that be was glad to lay down, and would have cheerfully relinquished boforo his term of office oxpired, but | for a senso of duty to his couutry. Jefferson, it is well-known, was not only libeled in tho most indecent manner by tho press, but in New England tho Puritan pulpit opened its batteries upon him. Jackson was denounced ns a murderer and ndultcror, and Harrison ns an old granny and coward. It is a striking illustration of tho impolicy as well as injustice of such a mode of conduct? ing a Presidential canvass, that the | candidates who have been most abused and vilified by tho party I hacks and the political press have j been generally successful, and, as in tho cases of Jefferson, Jackson and Harrison, attained a popularity which compelled their detractors to blush fer tho impotent malice which sought to injuro them. Surely the great political principles at issue between tho two parties can bo discussed and tho qualifications of their respective candidates for high oftico compared, without dragging their porsoual character and habits into the arena. What can bo more humiliating to any man, who has true pride of country, than to seo its selec t men for tho highest offices held np before t he world as drunkards and lunatic:-? The political intemperance and madness which lead to such a modo of conducting popular elections I aro ominous of as great calamities to the eonutry, as any which it would be likely to suffer, even if all tho personal accusations against the can? didates wero true. Tho farewell ad? dress of Washington warned us | against party spirit, as the rock on which all former republics had been shipwrecked; and it is impossiblo to witness its violence, especially in Presidential elections, without feel? ing painfully impressed with tho | necessity of tho admonition. [Baltimore. Sun. NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE.-There is I nothing so marvellous but what it may ho reached by the wondrous power of modern skill and science. It is absurd to say anything is im? possible in these extraordinary days. What wo cali impossiblo ono day becomes a common fact the next, and what wo laugh at as the unat? tainable in 18G7 is placed within our grasp iu 18?S. We havo long amused ourselves over tho idea of an India j rubber stage or car to carry passen? gers, and lo! an India rubber car? riage (a vehiclo composed of one solid piece of rubber, first heated into a flexible mass liko dough, then moulded into shape,) is tho latest | novelty manufactured at Bridgeport, Conn., and sent to this city. Tho] changes of temperature havo no ef? fect upon it; a beautiful polish and coloring can bo bestowed upon it; wood is not so tough or strong ns it is, nud it can bo manufactured at less cost than an ordinary carriage. It is about ouo-eighth of an inch in thickness, and if mado less hard and moro flexible, we shall havo at onco a full realization of nil our ludicrous but popular notions about a stage that can bo stretched to accom? modate any numbor of travelers, a car that will hold '"just ono more," no matter how full, on all occasions. Such a car would bo tho very para? dise of conductors. \Neio York Sunda;/ Times. Ono of the Loyal League oaths has been exhumed iu Mississippi thus: When tho applicant is presented | for initiation, the United States flag j is spread on a table, tho Biblo is laid upon that, and a sword upon the Bible. Tho applicant places his hand on tho Bible, and is sworn as follows: . 'I do solemnly swear, in, tho pre sonco of Almighty God, and these members, and on the Declaration of ludopendonco, that I will protect] and defend tho principles set forth by tho Republican party, and sup? port nono but reliable Union men for offices, and that I will defend tho principles of the Republican party against all foreign and domestic foes, and pledge my lifo, snored honor, and property, to faco tho dagger at my heart in defence of the principles of tho League. " DISCOVERY OF A CHEST OF MONEY. A letter received by a gentleman of Cairo, from Oxford, Miss..'states that a few days ago Sheriff W. S. McKee, on returning homo from an adjoining County, stopped to bathe in the Tal? lahatchie River. His feet touched something smooth on the bottom several times; curiosity at'dength led him to examine closely, when he found a small iron chest. Procuring assistance, ho took it to Oxford, broke it open, and found $3,000 in silver, $2,800 in gold, $1,200 Mexican dollars, and $4,000 in Confederate money. There were no papers in tho chest to show its ownership. [Cincinnati Commercial. TnE WAY IT WORKS.-Every late Southern "rebel," who is not in love with the views of our radical friends, is pronounced by radical journalists n traitor, and carefully disfranchised. Some 1,500 of tho same "rebels," however, who consented to accept radicalism, (including three Ander? son villo jailors,) have just been purged of all political disabilities by Congress, and they are denominated as "amongst tho most loyal patriots in tho land." Party fanaticism, as a general thing, does not clarify the judgment any moro than it sweetens the temper. [Mun York Sunday Times. TUE NATION AL CAMP MEETING-. Tho camp meeting now in operation at Manheim, Penn., is tho largest ever held iu this section. Upwards of 700 tents have boon put up. It is impossible to givo the exact number of persons already on the ground, but it is estimated that it will reach nearly 5,000. Tho number will bo greatly increased beforo tho closing of tho meeting. About 3G0 ministers of tho Methodist Church aro present to assist in tho religious xercises. Most of the Northern and several of tho Southern States aro represouted. [Lancaster Express. DEMOCRATIC VS. REPUBLICAN NOMI? NATIONS.-Somo of tho partizan jour? nals appear to think their readers havo no sense, and it is only neces sary to abuse the candidates of their opponents. Tho New York Commer? cial (Republican) thiuks differently, and says: "Governor Seymour is not to bo beaten hy being called a cop? perhead, or Frank Blair to bo dis? tanced in tho race because he is called a revolutionist. Bidicule Sey? mour as somo Republican journals may, he is tho most popular man in tho Democratic party." Sir David Brewster has published a description of tho manner in which a stack of hay was struck by light? ning iu Forforshire. The stack was on lire, but was extiuguishod beforo it was consumed. On examining tho stack, a circular passage was observed which extended to the bottom, and terminated in a bole in the ground. In the hole was found a foreign sub? stance which proved to bo silex, ob? viously formed by tho fusion of tho silex contained in the outer coating of tho hay. It had a greenish tinge, aud contained burnt portions of hay. Tho Washington correspondent of tho New York Herald, after mention? ing two of tho so-called Representa? tives from this State, says: "Tho Representative of the Third District, Simeon Colley, was born in South Carolina, 1823. Ho is a tailor by profession, and claims to have been always a Unionist and au ar.ti-slavery man. Ho is unablo to take tho test oath, which accounts for his not being sworn in to-day." A letter baa been received by a member of thc Legislature, from Washington, which says that Colfax told Whittcmore, (scallawag,) that he could not hold his position as mem? ber of Congress aud State Senator, and ho must resign one of them. It is thought hero that ho will resign his seat in Congress, as his term ex? pires in March, aud ho will have strong opposition. A Democratic ratification meeting was held iu Washington, on Satur? day night. Despatches were re? ceived from Governor English, of Connecticut, and Ex-Governor Par? ker, of New Jersey, endorsing tho nominations. Speeches wore made by Senator Doolittle Gen. Ewiug, Representative Trimble, of Ken? tucky; Mr, Cavanaugh, delegato from Montana; Hon. Thomas B. Florence, and others. A young man named J. A Heiner, was brutally murdered near Waldo, Florida, on thc 12th. No clue to tho murderors. Another outrageous affair took place on the 5th of July, at Crystal River. Two negroes en? tered tho store of Marcus Breudt and murdered him, without saying a word to him. They were arrested and lodged in jail at Tampa. Thoro aro 600 immense trees in tho Mariposa region of California, of whioh tho largest is 102 feet iii cir? cumference. Tho avorago height of these trees is about 250 feet, and many of thom approaching (but only three or four exceed) 100 feet in cir? cumference. Thoir age is calculated to bo about 1,000 years. SJ Last week there wore 1,142 deaths in New York oily, an increaso of 528, compared with the previous week. This large mortality is attributed to the excessive heat of the weather. Tho Globo newspaper, published in the city of Mexico, asserts that cor? respondence has taken placo between tho Ministry of Relations and the United States Legation. A difficulty has arisen between tho two depart? ments on account of tho expulsion by the Mexican Government of Mr. Napoleon Zerman, who claimed to bo an American citizen. In Eufaula, the other day, a sick negro woman was driven away from her lodging by those of her own color, because they thought her disenso was "catching," and was afterwards found dead under the Methodist Church. A superintendent of police once made an entry in his register, from which tho following is an extract: "The prisonors set upon me, called mo an ass, n precious dolt, a scare? crow, a ragmnffin and an idiot-all of which I certify to be true." A white Senator at Atlanta was asked, while at table, whether the representatives from this county had arrived. "Wait until I am through my breakfast," ho replied, "aud I will send to tho kitchon and inquire." Thero will be another concession of prices for despatches over the Atlantic cable after the 1st of Sep? tember. Tho rato will then be $12.50 in gold for ten words between any part of Great Britain and New England and New York. A sister of Miss Schaffer, the young lady of Alexandria, Virginia, who was lately burned to death, and whose affianced lover committed sui? cide from grief, has since died in consequence of her sorrow at the doublo niuiction. A porty of rowdies stopped a street car near Ninety-sixth street, New York, on Wednesday night, and attempted to set fire to tho dresses of the ladies, who were present in forco returning from a pic-nic. A fire in Camden, N. J., on Satur? day night, destroyed fourteen build? ings. The presence of steam fire engines from Philadelphia alone pre? vented, it is thought, tho entire destruction of tho place. FIBE IN SAVANNAH.-A fire, at 2 o'clock, Sunday morning, in Savan? nah, destroyed the house of Harvey Lewis and Frank Kano, corner of Purse and Jones street. No in? surance. Thomas W. Whaley, second son of Wm. Whaley, Esq., of Charleston, was accidentally. drowned in the Savannah River, in Abbeville Dis 1 trict, on tho 17th instant. Asheville, North Carolina, has a new cheese factory. It makes daily 2G0 pounds of cheese, milks 180 cows, employs fifteen hands, and fattens fifty hogs on the whey from tho vats. All the magistrates elect in Shelby County, Ala., aro negroes, and noe one of them can read or write. But radicalism makes them "all write" A Farmer's Association has been organized in Anderson District, and Hon. James L. Orr elected Presi? dent. Several Neapolitan priests have lately abandoned their profession, have married, and established a pa? per called the Catholic Emancipator. General Baldy Smith, who fought, is for Seymour. General Butler, who stole, even his marones, is for Grant. American journals pay ten times as much for cabio news as the English press. A New York paper publishes an account of a funeral, under thc head of "Out Door Sports." A church in Chicago was struck by lightning, on Saturday, and two men were killed. A Democratic ratification meeting is to bo hold in Charleston, on Fri? day night, the 21th iustnnt. FAMILY SOAP. BY arrangement with Mr. R. C.
