COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, Jane 18. lol 9. Thc Greenville and Columbia Halli omi. Wo aro gratified to bo able to state, upon authority, that tho suit in the Court of Equity, which has been pend? ing for moro than two years past against the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, by certain holders of their first mortgage bonds, Las been settled, and that tho suit will bo withdrawn at tho present term of tho Court. Tho partios who have como forward and settled with tho company, and con? sented to the withdrawal of th?.* snit, arc, as wo oro iuformcd, Thomas J. Robert sou, John Caldwell, Robert N. Lewis, Thomas C. Perrin, executor, and Charles Smith, of tho original complainants in the bill, besides others who entered tho suit ns parties complainant after tho suit bad been commenced. This will bo gratifying intelligence to both thc stockholders and bond-holders of this corporation. It has certainly struggled manfully, and with a r ;cess almost unpnralled in the history of rail? roads, sinco the war, to place its finances in a satisfactory condition. Tho last cloud that lins cast a shadow upon its prosperity has now been dispersed, aud Its futuro must be marked by eminent success, and the road itself a general blessing to the whole State. We understand, also, that tho July in? terest upon their first mortgago and guaranteed bonds-will bo promptly paid at maturity. This will also contribute to increase the confidence of their credit? ors, and in a very short time we expect to see their bonds quoted iu tho market as commanding os high a price as tho best securities in the State, which posi? tion they should, in our opinion, justly occupy. . The Board, with great sagacity and acumen, arranged the terina o? settle? ment, one -which was at once advan? tageous and satisfactory lo all parties concerned. The road is fortunate in possessing a President, PO emiueuth fitted foi tho complicated duties ?nd po silion nf bis offiee.

In tho .Chicagoan WO find a long am ably written letter from Mr.';. J. ll. Ii. on the results of her late Southern es perience. Mrs. R. is a sound lliiuke and honest writer. Wo reglet tbutspnc will permit ns only to make extract froin the letter. Speaking of Samb supremacy, the writer says: "It does seem to us hard and out r place that proud, puro-b'ooded, whoh souled white men should bo ruled eve in inauy instauce? by those of Africa origin, who aro unfitted for the position in point of education or ability, man of whom, until a few years since, wer ignorant field hands, who were not eve fitted to cultivate the land without u overseer to direct them.

Tho roprosentativo of the United Stntes at tho Court of St. Petersburg communicates to his Government the fact that, haviug ascertained that the Czar would receive tho negro, he in his representative churactor introduced him. Now, Chester cannot bo regarded in any sense ns a representativo negro. He is probnbly well educated, and has had some of tho savage taken out of him, by association with army officers. At all events, it is no afluir of ours whether this particular negro is introduced to the palace of tho Emperor, or tho drawing rooms of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, or the Seraglio of the Sublime Porte. It is difficult to please all tastes, and there is no uso disputing about them. But because Chester enjoyed this great dignity, is his race here in the South, illiterate and semi-civilized, to have the complete control of a largo portion of this republic? Massed into compact po? litical organizations, aro they to shape the policy and control tho destiny qf this country? Because a negro dines with a Russian Emperor, is his race to frame the laws of this country? la the newly emancipated bondsman to fetter tho limbs of Anglo Saxons? What else is it? Of whom are our juries composed? Here, in Richland, niue of the twelve aro un? educated negroes. In Williamsburg, the entire panel is composed of negroes.

On yesterday morning an alarming re? port was circulated on tho streets of this city to the effect that there bad been a serious difficulty between thc citizens of Sparta, Hancock County, nnd the ne? groes on Tuosdny evening; that a conflict between tho rucea had ensued, caused by a negro incendiary inciting au armed body of his ruco to burn tho town; that in tho fight, five negroes and one white mnn lind beon killod; that upon the Sheriff of tho County endeavoring to arrest a party of tho white men, who had been engaged in the affair, the hit? ter had seized tho cotton factory in Sparta, and, converting it into a fort, had set the Sheriff and Iiis possecomilalus at defiance; and that, a thousand other terrible things had happened besides. Tho nows created a good deni of excite? ment and anxiety in this city; because it was believed that if the report proved to bo true, it would be seized upon by the scalawags as fit material out of which to manufacture political capital and arsist them in their scheme to remand Georgia to a military despotism. Fortunately, however, wo have been enabled to obtain a truo account of the whole affair, und tho tdory of the morning proves to bo n ridiculous canard, circulated by members of Ames' New Oilcans Circus troupe, who were in Sparta at the timo thu dis? turbance occurred; but who immediately left tho town for this city as soon as thc shooting took place, unwilling to become involved in any difficulty, and who were either misinformed as to tho true history of tho transaction, or exaggerated it very much-unintentionally, we suppose-in the telling. Anxious to present to the many rend? ers of tho Chronicle and Seritinel a correct statement of all the facts connected with this affair, we had nu interview with a well known gentleman of this city, who camodowu ou the Georgia Railroad yes? terday evening, and from him obtained full particulars of the occurrence. The gentleman referred to was in tho town of Spurts when the affray took place, and may be considered the very best au- j thority on tho subject. From our in formant's statement it will bo seen that politics hod nothing whatever to do with tho matter, and if tho Bullock News Ageuoy in Atlanta will telegraph thc facts as they occurred, wo think that it will j b..ffio even the Washington Chronicle or : the Tribune to torture them into u po? litical bearing. it appears that, ou lust Tuesday ufler- ' noon.

Thu circus exhibition opened at 2 o'clock in tue a .'i-a noon, and the canvas was soon filled \i itu ii largo crowd of both white people und negroes. Two hours lalor, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a crowd of uegroes, in whiou were both Barnes and Pierson, assembled outside of tho canvas, when the latter got iuto an altercation with two while meu stand? ing near. Some words passed bel ween the parties, when Pierson pronounced one of thc white meu to be a G-d d-d liar. At this tho man drew his pistol ond fired, tho ball penetrntiug tho heart of Pierson, killing him instantly. Upon seeing tho fall of their leader, the negroes fired a volley into tho two whites, but did no executiou. A ball, however, fruin one of their pistols struck n negro named Marshall, who happened to bo in the way, ia the abdomen, inflicting a mor? tal wound. The ball which struck Mar? shall was supposed to have come from a pistol held in tho hands of Eli Barnes, the expelled negro representative. The white men, as soon as Pierson fell, fled from Sparta into the country, pur? sued bj' tho negroes. Tho pursuit had not been conducted a very great distance wheu, it is said, the white men rallied, and fired a volley into the pursuers, 1 which, though no one wos injured, caused tho negroes, in turn, to take to their heels. Soon after the negroes were killod, Mr. Rogers, tho Sherill'of the County, sum? moned a posse cam ital ns of tho citizens, and went out to arrest tho supposed guilty parties. This posse vina still out wheu our informant left Sparta yesterday inorunie. Our informant also states that "Kev."

In the estimation of thc Rhode Island radicals, a white man must own o house aud lot in order to be equal in value to n negro who hasn't a dime.
