COLUMBIA, S. C. Batnrday Morning, Joly 3. 1869. Sumner and tl?? Msm ?ucl Brother. In reference to a paragraph published ia our paper, of the 1st inst, concerning Seuatorj?u tuner's ownership of negroes, acquired by the death of parties in Sooth Carolina, we have been furnished with these additional details by a gentleman of this city, andar? published aa entirely in harmony with the known character of this negro worshipper and odious crea? ture. Mr. Sumner having become the sole owner of these negroes, by the denth of Mr. Ball, determined to offer them for sale. Amongst them was the body ser? rant of Mr. Ball, an old, faithful and re? spected negro. The friends nud relatives of the deceased gentleman used every entreaty that Mr. Sumner would, if com? pelled to make tho sale, ut least to soil this faithful old negro and his wife at the same time, to one and the same person; and to the eternal shame and disgrace of Sumner bo it recorded, that he distinctly and unequivocally refused to comply, al? leging that ns the wife was unhealthy and feeble, it would injure the sale of the husband. The circumstances were so re? volting, so disgusting to the people of South Carolina, and specially to thoso of Charleston, where the affair happened, that & full account of the entire case, with indignant comments, was published in the Charleston Courier, over the sig? nature of Mr. William Ball Pringle-a gentleman whose name is familiar to every South Carolinian. Our informantvouohes for the correct? ness of the above, remembers reading Mr. Pringle's communication, and refcrB to the file of the Courier office to verify bis statement, if it be in existence. Mr. Sumner's practice is widely at va? riance with his preoept. It was scarcely necessary to report theso details, to pre? sent Mr. Sumner in a more odious light than be at present occupies; still, it may remind Mr. Sumner, should this meet bis eye, of the difference ia his views of the negro then and now. THE DITTY OP THE DEMOCBACY, ETC. The New York World advises the Demo? crats to take advantage of the present lull in politics to do much energetic work. It urges that the really effective work of a political party is done be? tween, rather than during, great politi? cal campaigns. The party, it ailinn.., needs voters, and the only ciuty of the hour is to obtain them, and lo this end organization is the great means. It counsels, first, organization in every town; second, the completion of abrief constitution for the government of the dubs; third, eacllclub should keep itself in close communication with the Demo? cratic committees of its County and State, in order to bo supplied with docu? ments, and afford the committees the in formatiou they need to make a canvass; fourth, not too mauy speeches at club meetings, but hard work. It says: The plan thus 6kotchcd in its out? lines is very simple. A half a dozen men of clear heads and average intellects cnn carry it out. It is, too, tho only plan by which the Democratic party can uttaiu success in tho States which hold elec? tions next fall, and in the elections for Representatives in Congress in 1870. Now is tho time to begin to carry it out, while our opponents aro demoralized hy? the blunders of administration and the failure of tho policy which they havo in? flicted upon tho country. PuaiLiisTic MASSACHUSETTS FEMALES. The New York Herald records the fact that, not content with a woman prizo fight in Boston Homo time ago, they Rot up a prize light near Springfield the day before yesterday, which was attended by 300 spectators, "one-third of whom were women."' It siys that this affords an? other evidenca of the downward ten? dency of female morality in a section of tho country that has plumed itself upon its righteousness; that bas presumed to set itself up us the exumplar for all that is chaste, modest, puru and nohlo in the feminine charautor; that has sent missionaries among tho beuigbted hea? then for tho purpose of proffering the i cup of grace tn their lips aud instilling the sentiments nf saintly love and virtue ino their hearts; that has filled the school-houses of tho South with New j England sehool-rnarnis, to teach tho lit? tle niggers their A. B, C's, and to learn them for the first time who their Maker waa, ns weil ns to impresa upon their delicate understandings tho now well established axiom that "a white man is ns good us a nigger, if ho only behaves himself." Alas! that it should bo so. Alas! that tho sentiments of tho noble hearted matrons of the revolution-of the days of the Adamses, tho Hancocks, thc Otiscs-should bo obliged to give way before the Attilan career of n butch of bespectacled old spinsters and burnt grass widows who aro now endeavoring to mould tho pure thoughts of the young females oi the rising generation into a hideous masculinity, nod to encourage them to aspitaa to tho places and to the peroguiives aud to don tho toggery cd those who, with a few honorable excep? tions, are entitled to wear the breeches in thia our duy. Verily, things ure looking bail for morality in Massachu? setts. fourth ?r ?1uiy<-Fasting, Humiliation . nd Praytr. Ma. EDITOK: The suggestion of "Loy? alist," in yesterday fy Phoenix, le the moat appropriate yet ruado as to the "celebra? tion of the anniversary of oar national independence." The "natiou," (what? ever that mian on,er means,) was created by Southern wisdom, valor and virtue, but by a tremendous error and fatal generosity, the founders gave to the "saints of Plymouth" an interest in tho ostate of liberty. Those sainte, finding it a paying concern, soon determined to get possession of the whole. With the persistency of the beaver, the subtlety of the serpent, and the fierce nud ghastly cunning of the wolf, they have achieved their purpose. They have seized our in? heritance and driven us into the wilder? ness. Let them, on tho birth-day of American liberty, shout their jubilate over the stolen birth-right and blessing, while we, in humiliation, fasting and prnyer, cry out only, "Our Father, hast thou only ono blessing?" After the mighty things our futhers did in tho first tiny? to bo free, and tho mightier things wo did in the later days to keep our free? dom, why should we not mourn eon tum? idly, that God has allowed tho vultures and jackalls to fill our pleasant and sacred places? Can we rejoice that ever that day was when wo soe what we are now? Dare we celebrate, under tho auspices of Grant, the gift of Washington? Uuder the auspices of Seott, the gift of lint ledge? Oh, sacred shades, pardon this profanation of thy names! Let the filthy vermin who have drifted on our shores from the reoeding wave of war, go to "Letta's grove," and celebrate the anniversary of national indepen? dence, under the auspices of the Court of Probate. In that grove, South Caro? linians have heard the voices of Calhoun, Hoyne, McDuffie, Harper, Preston, El? more, Warren Davis, Petigrn, Legare, Butler, and their peers. If tho gentle myth be true that trees have sentient beings dwelling in them, how will tho soft Dryades be startled by the clangor in a Columbia grove of the Yankee "Post Band" strumming its pieans in ap? plause of Scott, Noglo, Hogo and Wiggl Lot these and our late slaves-their asso? ciates, but infinitely their superiors-go c?l?br?t o the fourth of July wberevor they choose, but let us shut our doors, go into our closets, and saying, "Uh, yo sons of men, how long will ye turu our glory into shame?" and then turn our? selves to the God of our Fathers, pray? ing thus, "How long wilt thou forget me, oh Lord? Forever? How long wilt thou hide thy fuco from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having Horrow in my heart daily? How long shall my enemy be exalted.over me? Oh, Lord God, to whom "vengeance belougetb; oh, God, to whom vongeanoe bclongeth, shew thyself!" Such should be tho mode in which the sons and daughters of Carolina moy cele? brate the fourth of July. APPOMATTOX. A GAMIJLING-BOOM SCENE IN NEW OB LEANS-AN INQUEST IN A "KENO" ROOM -THE GAMES SCARCELY iNTEnnuiTBD. The New Orleans Picayune, of June 20, > gives the following 'vivid sketch of a tragic incident in one of the multitudi? nous gambling hells, licensed, in the Cresceut City: About half-past 9 o'clock last night, an unknown man fell dead in tho gambling hou.so ut No. G6 St. Charles street. As usuiil on Saturday night, the house was crowded to suffocation. Tho young and the old, the rich aud tho poor, had ga? thered in to spend the earnings of tho week. The light of many a brilliant gas jet Hashed over a crowd of men, earnest and eager in the passionate excitement of the gamo. Suddenly, n tall, dark looking man from ono of tho centre tables, rose from his seat, aud walking ti few feet unsteadily, fell back upon the floor. One convulsivo shudder passed through, body and limbs, and the man was doud; died from heart disease, or tho excitement of gambling, l'or a sin? gle moment, a stillness like death fell upon the crowd, and then soino ono said he'd only fainted, nnd the game went on. But lifo was extinct. "Hus dead," some ono cried, and then men rose hastily from their .seats and left tho room. Tho game was stopped, und a little circle gathered around tho dead man on tho floor. The face had grown waxen; tho death-look had settled darkly around bim. It was a foreign-looking face-un Italian or Spaniard-aud in life hud been handsome, but now its rigid lineaments woro a scared expression, as if thc heart hud struggled vainly to but live to got out of that bad place. Suddenly, all unprepared, the man was hurried tuto the presence of his Maker, dead, with tho gamester's passion fierce in bis heart, with all his evil thoughts and guilt about him. Tho lights were turned low in the darkened room, and tho coroner's jury gathered around tho nameless dead. Below, in tho halls, the rattle of dioe. the noise and strife of gam? bling broke sadly on tho ear. What a contrast! Nonoseomed to heed tho spec? tacle above them, or take warning of tho awful judgment so suddenly pronounced. The games went on, and tho low voices of tho jury and the witnesses were scarcely heard in the uproar beuenth. Men could not pauso in that eager strife of hazurd. A NrMEitous PnooENY.-In Lincoln Township, Madison County, Iowa, there is a man who was married inoro than sixty years ngo, becamo tho father of nineteen children, and his first wife being dead, married a second ono, who had become, in a former matrimonial ad? venture, tho mother of ten childrou. The patriarch is now eighty-five years of nge, and three weeks ugo his wifo pre? sented hiui with another heir. Tue Colorad Poopto and th* Trlbas*. The New York Tribune ia exceedingly philanthropic always to the doa sondants of the Africana imported into thia coon try long years since by the ancestors of tho Northern people-possibly' of Mr. Greeley himself. That ia Tory well; bnt the Tribune never fails to make a fling of some kind at the white raoe while pity? ing or encouraging the negro. This ?B very bad. We do not suppose Mr. Greeley himself does this; nor do we suppose that those who do it in the Tri? bune ofilco are actuated merely by wan? ton malice. They have gotten so much in the habit of this, in carrying out the radical policy against tho South, thut they cannot help it. The Tribune has a letter from North Carolina which pleases it very much-a letter evidently written by some mun who either knew nothing of what he wrote, or who was only manufacturing u little capital, personal or political. Tuko a Bingle assertion-thus: "About half the colored children in the .schools of that State-children born of course dur? ing the existence of the patriarchal sys? tem-are so nearly white that nobody cnn tell to which race they approach the closer." Who believes this? It is a very great faslehood-a condensed state? ment of what the North Carolina writer communicates, and condensed by a mun in the Tribune office who is profoundly ignorant of the whole subject. "But since the war bas given the freedmen the control of their own fami? lies, tho amalgamation has almost wholly coosed, proving that it was the whites not the blacks-who wero responsible f?r it of old." And going back iu thia back handed way of dealing out oppro? brium, if the Northern people had never brought negroes to this country for the purpose of putting them into sluvery, there would now bo fewer negroos hero and less amalgamation. But this aside-who that knows the troth does not know that this whole statement is entirely without foundation? There is a diminution of the martial re latioin amongst blacks, and a general decrease in the number of births of co? lored children, ns is geuerally kuowu, iu the South. Negro meu aro less willing now to incur the responsabilities of fami? lies than when they were supported by their owners. There is morn licentious- I ness amongst them than ever, and there? fore fewer proportionate births. Foeticide and infanticide, too-things j almost unknown in tho South before the war-have become quito common, mo? thers preferring to destroy their chil? dren rather than support them. It can? not be shame, because the giving birth to the offspring of illicit iutercour.se in? spired no such feeling in former times. Whatever may be the case in time to I come, this is the condition of things now, and must continue to be until order, political aud social, is better restored. We regret that it is BO. We state it with no unkind feeling to the blacks. It is a poor way for the Tribune to help the ne? gro by libelling the white man. It is unnecessary and outrageons. The white people of the South are the best friends of the colored people. In Southern hands, tho blacks will have every chance to acquire property and knowledge, whilst the prejudiced and uninformed Northern mun only succeeds in making them unhappy aud slandering us. It : would be useful to Mr. Qroeloy to come i down here and go amongst the people, and find out tho truth. Ho would de? rive a great deal of information thut would bo useful to him, aud enable him to enlighten a great multitude of men whom ho has misled in times post. [Richmond Dispatch. NATIONAL BANKS.-The New York He? rald notices the late couventiou of bank? ers at the Ht. Nicholas Hotel, at which delegates from nearly all tho natioual banks of tho country were pr?sent. It suya they perfected au organization, and though they profess to bo a voluntary combination, it may readily bo seen that as soon as any number of national batiks begin to act together as a nuit, the other banks must come iuto the organization, and obey its behest?-, or bo ruled out as ; "rats," that aro not permitted to partici pate in tho business and exchanges of ' the country. . It gives figures to show what a power this Organization will pos? sess in tho land for political or other pur? poses, and in the samo connection goes on to exhibit, by tho opening address of Mr. E. G. Spalding, of Buffalo, the ; chairman, what aro its professed motives of action, which, in a fow words, means that the banks mean to save themselves during tho convulsions that will attend tho transit of tho country from a paper j to a specie currency. It discusses briefly what may bo expected in the future iu connection with thc great financial ami ! political upheaval it discovers to bo ap? proaching, and says of tho national banks, that they aro already obnoxious to much just complaint. That the ex traordinary concessions by which the Government pays them ?18,000,000 u year in gold, without service to tho conn- I try of any character; their schemes by | which periods of artificial stringency and j relaxation in tho money market are pro- ! duced for their own profit; the facilities i and stimulus they afford to middlemen I in every branch of trade to monopolize | and carry products, for tho purpose of j forestalling consumption and keeping np prices, and their thousand and one con? trivances to make tho rich richer and tho poor poorer, are working a steady change in tho public m iud aguinst tho present banking system. Tho new banking or? ganization is for offensive and defensive purposes, and will play an important part in tho future political struggles of tho country. Business is king, and tho national bauks aim to bo the regent of tho laud. In Falkirk, Scotland, and in somo of tho districts ?ast from it, Micro was snow on Sunday, tho 13th ultimo.

It will be remembered that on the 28th of January, 1868, Mm. Marin N. Pollard, wife of E. A. Pollard, WAS arrested in this city, on tho charge of shooting with intent to kill Dr. George A. Moore, a druggist, doing business on the corner of Hanover and Hill streets. After re? maining in jail for some days, she urns discharged on her own recognizance, to appear when wanted. In tho meantime, the grand jury found an indictment, against the lady for common assault. The ouse has been postponed from term to term, and the community seemed to have lost sight of it entirely ; but it hav? ing beon set for trial yesterdoy, Mrs. Pollard, who has been sojourning in WoHhingtan, was notified of tho fact, and on the opening of the criminal court yesterday morning, sho made her ap? pearance, accompanied by a malo friend. Tho lady was richly habited in a thin dress of dark material, cut very low a' the neck, so as to exhibit to the best ad? vantage an unusually well-developed bust, but her face wus so thickly veiled that very few knew her in the densely crowded court-room, even after she had taken a sent in the witness-box, al? though many curious eyes were turned towards the spot in which she sat. When, however, tho caso of Mooro vs. Pollard was called, Mrs. Pollard, ac? companied by Johu Wills, Esq., left the witness box und took a seat among tho lawyers, and she at ouce becanio the great object of attentiou, as much on ac couut of tho previous notoriety of her case as for the present stylo of dress as? sumed by her on this occasion. As tho lady was without counsel. Mr. Wills so informed the court, aud Judge Gilmore directed him to couduct thu defence. The case was put upon trial before the court, a jury being waived. Dr. George A. Moore and his two assistants then gave their evidence. Tho physicians who attended Dr. Moore followed, and testified as to the extent of the wouud inflicted by the pistol ball, wbiob passed through Dr. Moore's wrint, doing injury to the muscles that will last through lifo; Mr. Wills cross-questioned the wit? nesses, and then, by permission of the court, took the stand and detailed his former professional connection with Mrs. Pollard, giviug it as his d< liberuto judg? ment that at the time of tho commission of tho alleged assault the accused waB not of sound mind. The counsel for the prisoner then ask? ed Judge Gilmor if ho would listen to a statement from the accused, which re? quest the Judge said he would praut, only provided Mr. Knott, the State's at? torney, and Mr. Milton Whitney, coun? sel for Dr. Moore, did not object. These gentlemen having signified their willing? ness, Mrs. Pollard was led to the witness stand by Mr. Wills, and, ufter removing tho thick green veil that enveloped her face, she proceeded to detail to tho court the history of tho wrongs she claimed to have received nt tho bands of E. A. Pol- | lard, ' 1 on nnd encouraged, as she al? lege ' by Dr. Moore. She concluded a ruthie lengthy story by stating tbut inch by inch sho had been deprived by theso men of all she possessed, except ber honor, aud that could only be taken with ber life. She also stated that abe bore no relationship whatever to Mr. Pollard, his treatment of her having been of such i a charaoter as to compel her to apply for a divorce, which was now pending. She did not deny the assault charged, but. claimed that Dr. Moore bad denied hav? ing had any knowledge of the wherea? bouts of Pollard, that ho had told her he had not seen him for months, although she had seen him enter and depart from Moore's house only tho night previous, and bis constant interference between ber husband and herself hud driven her to frenzy. Judgo Gilmor then reviewed tho case, nd liually concluded by declaring tho witness guilty of common assault, as charged iu tho indictment, and sen- j tenced lier to be confined in jail for thir ty days. Upon this announcement a scone fol? lowed not often witnessed in a court of justice. Mrs. Pollard aroso with out? stretched hands, and in a frenzied man? ner cried out: "Oh, Judgo, do not tend nie to prison." Sho then fell on her knees, and again appealed to thc Judge, saying: "For tho sake, of ni}- moro than orphaned children, do not deprive them of tho protection of a mother." She thou sank with her head on the knees of Mr. Wills, her counsel, uttering- hysteri? cal sobs, until Messrs. Irvin and Carter, Deputy Wardens of the jail, appeared, and as delicately as possible removed her to the offico of tho Clerk of tho Court. Mrs. Pollard wont on with her excited outcries in tho Clerk's office, arid suc? ceeded i.i attracting a considerable crowd. When tho court adjourned she was conveyed to jail, where sho now re? mains.-Baltimore Sun, 2-lih nil. "Tun LAST CONFEDERATE SOMMEIL" A correspondent from Mooroo County writes us that this individual is an im? postor and most accomplished swindler. Ho states that it is true ho lost his leg at Gettysburg, bnt tho balance of his won? derful yarn was simply a falsehood of unusual proportions. Ellerson was at Emory College in 1867-8, but led a most dissolute lifo there, and was finally ex? pelled for stabbing and almost killing a young man who had given him no pro? vocation whatever. On foo Otb of Ma}', a most cold-blooded murder was com? mitted in Walton County, tho victim being tolled to a swamp and shot, in which Ellerson was supposed to bo con? cerned and a warrant issued for his ar? rest, but ho escaped by flight. Since that time ho ho8 been playing tho "last Confo?erato" with considerable success throughout tho country. {Chronicle and Sentinel.

SUN-STROKE-How TO AVOID IT.-The season when the sun's rays pour down with their greatest intensity, and inflict upon the head of man tho dangerous malady known as coup de soleii, is now at hand, and it is well to remind persons of the fact. Very simple precautions will savo persons from beiug seized by the malady in question. One of tho best preventives is a thin piece of eponge loosely sewed into tho top of the hat, and occasionally moistened with water in the course of tho day. We have heard of a man who walked twenty miles under a hot sun with a damp pocket-handker? chief inside the crown of his hat, and did not Buffer any inconvenience. A cab? bage leaf is equally efficacious. A GOOD WORD FOR THE MOSQUITO. This is seldom spoken. The man who does so, must really havo a great deal of Christian charity in his composition. And yet it has boen dono, we must con? fess, with some effect upon even ourself, who regard her siugiug and her bite tho most annoying of all things. If, how? ever, what is Baid below by an entomolo? gist of tho mosquito be true, we must "give in" and accord to her a quality which we have hitherto denied her, that of not beiug au unmitigated pest, but possessing some useful qualities. We say her, for it seems the malo mosquito does uot bite nor suck our blood: "Thc eggs of the mosquito aro lain in a bowl-shaped mass upon the surface of stagnant water by the mother fly. After hatching out, they finally become the 'wiggle-tails' or wriggling worms that may be seen in tho summer in any bar? rel of water that is exposed to the atmos? phere for any length of time. Finally, the 'wiggle-tails' come to the surface, aud the full-fledged mosquito bursts out of them, at first, with very short, limp wings, which in a short time grow both in length and stiffness. The sexes then couple, and the above process is repeat? ed ugain and again, probably several limes in tho course of one season. It is a curious fact that the male mosquito, which may be known by its feathered antena?, is physically incapable of suck? ing blood. "The mosquito is not an unmitigated pest. Although in tho winged state, the female sucks our blood and disturbs our rest, in the larva? state tho insect is de? cidedly beneficial, by purifying stagnant water that would otherwise breed mala? rial diseaso. Linntons long ago showed that if you place two barrels of stagnant water side by side, neither of them con? taining any "wiggle-tails' or other living animals, and cover ono of them over with gauze, leaving tho other ono unco? vered so that it will .soon became full of 'wiggle-tails' hatched out from the eggs deposited by the male mosquito, thou tho covered barrel will in n few weeks become very offensive, and tho unco? vered barrel will emit no impuro and unsavory vapors." If the females disturb your slumbers, the following is said to be an excellent preventive: "Tako of gum camphor, a pieco about one-third the size of au egg, and evapo? rate it by placing in a tia vessel, holding it over a lamp or candle, taking care that it does not ignite. The smoko will soon Hil tho room and expel tho mosquitoes, who will return no more, at least for that night, even if tho windows bo left open. Try it."
