Campbell started for Washington to-day, to present to the President tho address from the people of Charleston, setting forth the dangerous condition of the city, and the innbiiity of the civil authorities to preserve the peaoe if riots should arise, and announcing the determina? tion of the white people to be mo? derate, and avoid as far as possible all collisions, and asking the Presi? dent to provide for the protection of tho city. ATLANTA, August 24.-The follow? ing resolution was presented in the Houso: Whereas, numerous organizations throughout the State, are in open hostility to the peaoe and good ordor of the State, threatening violence in many instances to the exeoution of the civil laws; and the leaders of said organizations claim authority from the Governor for such demonstra? tions; and the present civil govern? ment is not snffioiently organized to prevent insurrectionary demonstra? tions. Resolved, That the Governor be requested to issue a proclamation, requiring the discontinuance of such unlawful assemblages, and require tho faithful execution of the laws by civil officers. NEW YORK, August 24.-Washing? ton Irving's brother, Ebenezer, is dead-aged 93.. Professor George J. Adler, author of the Georgia Scholastic Works, is dead. Edward Jones, after a dispute with his wife, hung himself. The Herald's White Sulphur Springs special letter says: "General Rosencranz has held his conference with Leo, Beauregard, A. H. Ste? phens and other Southern leaders, but the purport of the consultation is as yet unknown. It is behoved to have been satisfactory, and an ad? dress to tho Southern people will probably be issued soon, in the name of the leading spirits of the Confede? racy. ? ?_ Alta I ra In Washington. WASHINGTON, August 23.-Rollins has nominaied nineteen supervisors, three of whom only ore acceptable to McCullooh. The nominees are said to bo extreme radicals, and it is stated that McCulloch will tie tho whole matter up until after the election, rather than allow the immense patron? age which tho law gives these super? visors to be used entirely in the ra dicul interest. WASHINGTON, August 24 -The treasury received, yesterday, $500, 000 in gold from Alaska, for cus? toms. This is the first profit from tho new Territory. The agricultural department is fully installed in their new building. This move gives the Patent Office much needed room. No progress was made to-day in the tax supervisors appointment. They soem determined to have tho offices equally distributed between the parties. Unless this compro? mise is accepted by Rollins' advisers, no supervisors will be commissioned until after tho election. The law is gonernlly regarded os unconstitu? tional. Claims for captured and abandoned property mast now come before Con Sress; tho law giving the Court of la i m s jurisdiction having expired. Extensive frauds in negro bounties have positively been re-asserted. Experts have full details of fifty throo cases wherein corruption ex? ists. Sherman has instructed Sheridan to drive the Indians beyond the Kan? sas line-killing them, if necessary. He deems further forbearance with the Indians impossible. It is under? stood the President approves the rigid courso prescribed by Sherman. John Konnedy was executed at .Tanton, N. Y., on Thursday, for tho murder of Thomas Hand, in Febru? ary, 18G7. He mot death with appa? rent indifference. He was con? demned to bo hung in November last, but on the morning of the day a stay of proceedings was served upon tho sheriff and he was furthor respited. Hand, who was murdered, livod for many years in dread of a death by violence, and admitted no one to oven an acquaintanceship ex? cept Konnedy. He had a sum of monoy in his possession, but lived in a miserly manner in order to avoid giving any one any inducement to murder him.

From ono of the burning houses burst forth cries, "Save us, save usl" Heart-rending were the screams of a mother, 'Save my child!" The Archbishop.Twho had hitherto assisted the firemen at the engines, stepped forth and shout? ed out, "I will give twenty-five gold pieoes to him who saves the mother and child!" Several men hastened into the flames, but started back again. The Archbishop repeated his offer, but to no purpose. Ho then took a blanket, dipped it in n pail of water, wrapped it around his body, and climbed the ladder leading to the burning room. The by-standers fell on their knees, their oyes steadily fixed on the Archbiahop. He suc? ceeded in reaching the window, and soon after re-appeared, carrying tho mother and child. Upon reaching the ground below, ho tore the half burned blanket from his shoulders and thanked God on his knees for the success of his efforts. Ho then stepped to tho poor mother and said: "My good woman, I havo offered twenty-five gold pieces to him who would save you. I have earned that sum myself, and will give it to you." MARK TWAIN ON FEMALE SUFFRAOE. "Mark Twain" writes to his "Cousin Jennie" on the subject of "female suffrage," as follows: "There ?B one insuperable obstado in tho way of female suffrage, Jen? nie. I approach the subject with fear and trembling; but it must out. A woman would never vote, because she would have to toll her ago at the polls. And even if she did daro to voto once or twice when she was just of age, you know what dire results would flow from 'putting this and that together' in after times. For instance, in nu unguarded moment, Miss A. says she voted for Mr, Smith. Her auditor, who knows that it is seven years since Smith ran for anything, easily cyphers out that she is at least seven years over ago, instead of tho young pullet she has been making herself ont to be. No, Jeunio, this new fashion of register? ing tho name, ago, residence and oc? cupation of every voter, is a fatal bar to female suffrage. " A GOOD BULE.-A certain man, who is vory rich now, was very poor whou ho was a boy. When asked how ho got his richea, ho said: "My father taught me never to play till my work was finished, and never to spend my money until I had earned it. If I had but an hour's work in a day, I must do that tho first thing, and in an hour. And after this, I was allowed to play; and then I could play with much more pleasure, than if I had tho thought of an unfinished task before my mind. I early formed the habit of doing everything in time, and it soon became easy to do so. It is to this I owe my prosperi? ty." Let every one who reads this do likewise. EX-PRESIDENT FILLMORE.-An in? timate personal friend of ex-Presi? dent Fillmore, in a letter to the Hon. Alexander H. H. Stuart, of Virginia, says: "I do not violate private confidenco in saying that ex-President .Fillmore and tho men who honor him for his patriotism and statesmanship are firm supporters of Horatio Seymour." If there is one counsel which, daring the next ninety days, should be impressed with more frequenoy and more force than all other? ppos the Southern people, it is this: Be cautious, in word and act! We entertain tho most sanguine hopes that- the approaching election will result in a decisive triumph for the friends of liberty and law, and a restoration of tho Government to its ancient foundations, now so far re* moved. And, while in the advance? ment of that most desirable issue, little is afforded us to do, it is unfor? tunately true that we may do much to imperil, or, at least, retard it. In that regard, tho near past rises be? fore na with the most solemn moni? tions. It is by no means certain, that the people of the North would not have sustained tho President in the fall elections of 1866, defeated Congres? sional radicalism, and anticipated by two long years, the glorious victory on which wo count in November; but two unfortunate circumstances conspired to thwart the retracing steps of those people, and to dash back the tide of returning reason and magnanimity which promised such happy results for the general prosperity of tho republic. One of these was the extreme imprudence ol certain of the public utterances oi tho President, but tho far more fatal? ly effective obstacle was tho riot in New Orleans 1 It is no exaggeration, to say thal that melancholy occurrence turned tho scale in fifty doubtful Congres? sional Districts, and thereby secured that two-thirds voto in tho Hous( which is accountable for all the enor? mities of the most profligate legisla tion that ever cursed a poople witt oven the traditions of freemen Thus was lost, for two years, tin chanco of peaco; thus was gained military despotism, carpet-bag Con stitutions, negro supremacy, tho ten ure of office bill, and all the multi form enormities which disgraced tin last session of tho Thirty-ninth Con gross and tho first session of its sue cessor. Again an election approaches ii which the very issues of 1866 aro t bo passed upon once more. Thi country is called on in thc light c the practical exporienco of two bil ter and fateful years to review it former decision, and hear tho gret appeal of liberty and the Coustitv tion. Tho circumstances of thi trial are all in our favor. Congre* has marked each passing month c those intervening years with a ne outrage upon us, and a new argi ment, therefore, in our favor, xv construction, in its every develo] ment, has startled tho public e; with somo new violation of law, pr vate right and public liberty. Tl ultimate purposes of radicalise shadowing forth the entire subve sion of the constitutional rights < States and people, have been full revealed. Tho utter and abandone profligacy of Congressional gover: ment has been laid baro to all eye Tho thorough failures of recoastru tion to accomplish anything but tl ghastliest mockery of freedom, sorrowfully admitted even by Repu beans themselves. The waves war have had further and full chan for perfect subsiding, and finally, t conservative men of the count have now had abundant time to ra] from the terror which the despotis inaugurated by Lincoln so wide spread; they are wondering that beastly an idol could ever have be thought a god, and are hastening compensate for their supineness hit erto, by unwonted diligence and c tcrmined effort now. In this most fortunato conjunctim of our nffairs, our triumph and t triumph of tho Constitution c scarcely bo jeopardized, save by oi solves, certainly by no party and agency can it bo so much jeopurdiz as by ourselves. It is vaguely wh pered, and tho recent disturbances this city, at tho Federal Capital, Atlanta, at Charleston and elsewhe give gravo countsnnuco to the rum that instructions have been issi: from certain radical leaders in Wai ington, that conflicts with tho : groes must, at all hazards, bo p voked at tho South betweon this a election day. This is precisely wi ovory ono acquainted with radicali must havo anticipated. Half t Congress so easily accomplisl would have been scornfully donou ed, as well North as South, had : the passions of tho Northern peo been excited by the systematic ly of radical presses respecting "Sou ern outrages." And thoy have often profited by this gamo to sli its assistance now. It is not imp taut to thom what may be tho ori{ or what the character of tho victii of these disturbances. A party wh could make a boro out of Ashbun saint out of John Brown, and a mai out of Dostio, and could find an o of sanctity in a negro brothel, can be very scrupulous about the qua of tho material with which they j poso to work. Let us bo careful, then, to a\ oven the appcaranco of violenoe. a disturbance ariso, let it be mani that the conservatives were the grieved party, and that the coi quonces, whatever thoy may properly attach to our enemies, wo will balli o this last and most vored resort of radicalism. Anc that end, it is equally desirable tl ^"-""^.,im". while denouncing with whatever ae verity of lnugnage tho deeds and de sigua of onr enemies, oar speakers and writers should do nothing to wards inciting a breach o? the peace and thornby inviting thc many and irretrievable evils that moat certainly ensue. _ .

TANT MEETINO.-A meeting of a number of tho prominent citizens and tax-payers of the city was hold at the Hibernian Hall yesterday afternoon. Mr. Daniel Ravenel was called to tho chair, and Gen. Conner stated tho object of tho meeting. He said that there was hardly a mau present who did not realize tho anomalous and perilous condition in which the community was living. There was not within tho State a single court organized for the trial of offenders. The municipal authority was, by its own confession, power? less. Every protection which the law formerly afforded was swept away, and yet at the samo timo a largo portion of tho population was actuated by a spirit of lawlessness, and incited by bad mon to deeds of violence, in order that political capital may bo manufactured to in? fluence the Presidential election. Nothing but the forbearance and self control of our people had thus far arrested a conflict. A few gentlemen had endeavored carefully to consider the question. The wisest course that they could suggest was that a number of tho responsible and in? fluential members of the community should address their fellow-citizens, setting forth truthfully the dangers which threatened them, counselling forbearance, and yet earnestly ad? vising them to preparo themselves to protect their persons and property; and that tho Hon. J. B. Campbell should be requested, on behalf of his fellow-citizens, to present the address to the President of tin United States, and request him to take such measures for the preserva? tion of the public peace as in hie judgment may be deemed proper. Gen. Connor then read the addresf which had been prepared, and which, on motion, was adopted and signed by all present, and ordered to b( published.-Charleston Courier. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE. That while the laboring classes an taxed to the extremest limit o patient endurance, to support a Go vernment distinguished by its ex travagunce, as well as by its uncon stitutional assumptions of power the Republican party insists that tin vast amount of property invested h our national securities, by the bank ers and bond-holders, shall be entire ly exempt from taxation, leaving th whole crushing burden of the nation' indebtedness, present and prospec tive, to be borne by the toil-won producing classes. That while tho Republican part; has professed to bo in favor of restoi ing the peace of the country, and th Southern States to their normal reis tion to tho Union, with their right unimpaired, their policy of recot 8tructiou has been glaringly in violf tion of tho genius of our institution: as well as of tho pledges of Congres and of tho lato President Lincol himself; while the insincerity of tb party, as evinced by its imposition < unreasonable and absurd conditior upon a conquered and submissiv people, entitles its professions to tl suspicions, if not to the contempt? < mankind. That the only thing that can sa\ our country from anarchy or despi tism, is a thorough change in tl administration of its affairs-thi wisdom, not folly, can alone save i from impending ruin; and that evei lover of liberty and justice is, in th great national emergency, expectt to do his duty. {Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The following ?tory, from the Mil? waukee Wisconsin, reads like a ro? maneo of Cooper's condensed, but is said to be a record of facts gathered by a gentleman who is collecting material for a history of the upper Mississippi Valley: A party of thirty Winnebagoes came down from the scalp dance at which the tribe was gathered on the TrempelftAu River, in tho North, and encamped on French Island, in the Mississippi River, jost above tho St. Pad's Railroad depot, at La Crosse. The band was under the control of a well known ohief of tho Winneba? goes named Wan-kee-se-hoong-er-er, or Sn ake Chief, who had two wives, Se-es-ka and He-nee-kee. Se-es-ka was about thirty years of age, grace? ful in appearance, with a pleasant look and an interesting face. With whites she was a favorito, while with the Winnobngocs sho was looked upon very kindly-indeed, adored with ?ll tho ardor of Indian fervor. Snake Ohief was a notod warrior of the Winnebagoes, and was very muoh liked by bis tribe. Ho was a power? ful aud brawny fellow, and when sober was peaceful and good natured; I when drunk he was ugly and dis? agreeable. One of his favorite pas? times, when in this condition, was beating his wives. On Friday last, Snake Chief re? turned to his wigwam drunk. Se-es ka was in the wigwam, and the chief commenced beating her over the head and shoulders. Driven to des? peration, and unable longer to stand his brutality, she drew her knife and stabbed the chief twice, tho blade penetrating the heart of the warrior, who died instantly while the first notes of the death song were on his lips. Tho affair at once created a sensation among the Winnebagoes, who did not know how to act. They loved their chief, and they loved their chieftain's wife. It is a well known "regulation" among the In? dians that when a man is slain, a relative must avenge his death by taking the lifo of tho slayer. Se-es ka knew this. Some of the Winne? bagoes urged her to fly, but she would not. With true Indian resig? nation, she folded her blanket about her and eat down in her wigwam, facing the door, and awaited her avenger. It waa believed by many that He-nee-kee, the younger and favorite wife, would be the avenger, but she seems to have had no such intention. She mourned the loss of her husband, but took no steps further than to send a runner up the Trompeleau, where Snake Chief's relatives were, to notify them of what had taken place. Meanwhile, Se-es-ka sat in her cabin, chanting tho death song, stoically indifferent to what was going on about her, and only talking when questions were asked her. On Sunday morning, au Indian from Trempeleau made his appear? ance in camp. Ho was known as Chan-no-ne-ga, and had evidently traveled without halting since he learned the death of Snake Chief. Entering the camp, without a word, he walked solemnly to the place where the body of Snako Chief lay, took a long look at it, and then turned sullenly away. Nobody spoke to him, yet all watched with interest his movements. Deliberately load? ing his gun with buck-shot, he unin? terruptedly walked deliberately to the wigwam where Se-es-ka sat, she hav? ing remained there sinoe the murder, and took ono look at the woman, who loudly chanted the death-song. Not a muscio of the woman's face moved, to denote that she labored under any excitement, but she sat there quietly and calmly, her eyes moving upwards, and her voice, as the uncouth song escaped her lips, steady and firm. She knew the avenger was before her-that in anothor moment her spirit would leavo tho frail tenement of clay and seek that of tho chief who had gone before hor; yet no look or sign indi? cated that she feared the fate. Such is Indian stoicism and indifference. Tho eyes of the two did not meet. In tho face of Chan-no-ne-ga there, was a look of minglod hate and re? venge. Deliberately ho raised his musket to his shoulder-deliberately ho aimed it at tho woman's head coolly ho fired. The report rang out through the Indian camp-tho smoke cleared away-Se-es-ka still sat there -her blanket about her-her arms folded-but ono side of her head was blown completely away-her spirit had fled, and the codo of Indian jus? tice was satisfied-Wau-kee-se-hong er-er was avenged. Tho murderer, with just a look to satisfy him that his work had been well done, shouldered his musket and walked deliberately out of tho camp. Nobody spoke to him-nobody offer? ed any interference, and stepping into his canoe he paddled to the shore, and disappeared in tho woods, leaving tho Winnebagoes stupefied. FIRE IN EDOEFIELD DISTIUCT.-We learn that a house and kitchen, bo longing to O. J. Howard, and situat? ed in Edgefield Distriot, about two and a half miles from tho Augusta Bridge, was entirely destroyed by fire on the morning of tho 21st instant. The loss is estimated at from $1,000 to $2,000, and tho property was in? sured for $800. Tho Aro is supposed to havo been the work of an incen? diary. 200 MTXBS OF LOOS.-The Pensa? cola Observer, ol the 11th, makes the- : ? following statement: "Wo are told that j the Oonecah and Escambia RivftT?, for a distance of, 200 miles, are literally jammed with saw logs, belonging to the Pensacola Lumber Company, and destined for the luci ino. Experienced log men esti? mate their number at not less than 40,000, or about 9,000,000 feet."
