COLUMBIANS. C. Saturday Morning:, August 7, 1868. Claim??? Laborer?. Whan rMtv Bantwell ended hisletter^ te Collector Casey with tho gratuitous BOntimont that tho Chincse, trado Wis "a now modification of, the eleya trade," he showed the bad taste inseparable from every public nct o? a Now England man. officiai endorsement one. The Chinese trade, as proposed here, and'aSBahotioned in California, is ??rj? jMy&n? from the Chinese traite As conducted in tho West Indies in 1B62, at the. time of the passage of tho Act he re? fers to, and when a rabid'state of feeling waa. at height, against .'?av cry,, and. ?wi&flllipttvwfuK of ihe slave trade: In tho latter instanco, protected as it was by Spanish law oud tho enforced scrvi I of--seven years.guaranteed bj the )vornmont, it ?(id partake for that period;ot least somewhat of the character :^iW8?^?^:?? 6<?>b ""argo oan be brought against the scheme of Chin eso immigration os now proposed in the United fil?tes. It is not contemplated to employ, thia new labor apon any other basis than that bf legal contracts, in Which caso tho Chinaman will have the same frotMQoj? and redress under the law aji"?ienegro enjoys "to-dav; With all: Mrj, Bout well'a well simulated hor? ror, ho is perfectly aware of this fact, and he is also aVrare of another equally important ono, that the Act he calls attention to with..such a flourish of trumpets, 'does not contain a singlo pro? vision that oan possibly interfere with thf Chinese immigration scheme. It is n*f expected that any will be brought without their consent, which they are only too .ready to give; and if they choose to make'contracts and give security for their fulfillment, we would- like to know hoW Mr. Boutwell is going to prevent it. "!^jrtt>? sure, Forney has proposed a re? medy, by making all labor contracts mtftf outside thewiiputa ?jt. tho United States, null aniypld; but even this can be readily snrruounted. It is only poli Boutwell, who seo in over of .their negro empir^3?cr"?l> fhSndii^npvement. ' A large nin? ty of .' the commercial community at (Noirth Ir?^ actually advocating the repeal pf tho very law Mr. Boutwell hurls at tho South in ouch in solon t defiance. All.sensible mon, dependent upon the vicissitudes, of commerce for BU pp ort, krioW that the country needs labor for its development and prosperity, that evengu thc days ot alavary the supply of labor foll very far short of the de? mand. Some relief most be had, if we expect to ever: struggle successfully through our national and financial trou? bles. Mr. Boutwell and bia friends may succeed for a time in opposing and ham? pering the movement, but we have yet to see a political party or principle that can successfully combat the laws of de? mand and supply in the way of labor. We dislike, therefore, to see a Secretary who should know better assuming to subject a great popular-movement to the dictates of his own narrow-minded pre? judices, availing himself of the opportu? nity a Abided by official position to in? trude b?UdSas in ? wished-for interpre? tation of a very simple act, which any one can just as'well interpret for himself. If it is any satisfaction to Mr. Boutwell to know it, we would inform him that the preparations to secure a large influx of Chinese labor to the South ere going on, and will go on, just as though he had never written. We advise him to ponder this fact, and not imagine in future that he carries all the laws of the country in his port-folio, or its people in Ilia breeches pockets. The New Orleans Times speaks as follows on this subject: "An effort is being made to stem tho current of public opinion in favor of the introduction of Chinese laborers into this country, by invoking the interfe? rence of the Federal Government. The idea and purpose originated with tho ex? tremo radicals, who expect to maka Bontwoll availablo to carry out their object. He, of course, is quite ready nud willing to do anything which he thinks may servo his great aim to keep the South in subjection to tho negro population, and maintain the-ascendancy of the radical party. The menus by which this end is to be attained is to re? vive and put in foroe an Act of Congress passed some years ago, prohibiting what is known as tho coolie trade. A similar and successful usc was made of this law by Seward shortly after the close of tho war. Responsible persons, who had tho means, aud a full kuuwlodgo of tho sub? ject, came to this city, opened an office, and advertised for proposals to introduce Chiueso laborers. At that time thisSt'ato was under a military government, and nny order .of a Federal officer could bo enforced aud executed with ns much cer? tainty and ns little regard for tho rights nud interests of the people as tho ukase of the Emperor of Russia. Mr. Soward was not slow or scrupulous to use this power to prevent the inauguration of this enterprise, and orders were pub? lished, instructions were sent to District Attorney*, and tba old anti-coolie Aot ^?d to as abtolnjelj^px^bibir shina); tho $mj tbisjount th eeo Amor romi se) to ev? tbJCraf foHfrlaet fe The foreign agenta who carno here to establish steamers to. bring to this country Chinese laborers, so' much needed, were so discouraged that they abandonod their enterprise. The tide of emigration which would have flowed into tho MI&a&?ppiTfilley waa" aiVeifWI 16* bring Chinamen to California, to afford cheaper labor to tho Boston capitalists', who were embarked in that b?ge swindle, the Pacific Bail road, but it would be highly unchristiao, aud a violutiou of a sofemn Ant of Congress, to permit tho Southern planters to avail themselves of that ch oap labor, and thus place, our 'beloved colored brethren' nuder tho necessity of competing with formidable rivals for that of which they then had and still have * monopoly. Buch was the result of Mr. (Seward's interference in 1866 with the attempt to introduce, Chinese into New Orleans to supply oar planters with reliable labor. How many, millions have been lost to the South.and the World by this radical negro derna gogueism. ' To please, to flatter, to hum? bug the freedmen and seouro their vot?s for the radical party, are far more im? portant. aim? with these partisan agita? tors than the development of the pros? perity of any portion of the ?ouutry, especially of the acoursod rebel bou tb. There are intimations of further at temp ts of this same character to interfere with ' plans for the introdnotiou of Chinese] into the South. The telegram sends na | something to tho effect that the old m?ti? co olio Ant is to be revamped and so con- I strned and put into operation ns to 'pre? vent this immigration. ' -. 1 ..-We hardly think, however, that the submissiveness of our people can bo de? pended on now, as in 18(H). Tho law iu question has no application to the volun? tary immigration of any class of people. Its whole scope and object were to sup? press or prevent a trade, such ns was represented to be carried ou between (Juba and China, in which Chinese and other Oriental people were forcibly and violently deported from their country by contractors. The right of emigration is .expressly reserved and recognized in this law. It is only necessary to havo I some proof, the certificate of an Amen- I can consul, or other evidence, to rebut the presumptions upon which alone this Act of Congress can be put in force. The right of the Chinese to emigrate to and settle in this country, is as clear and unquestionable as that of any other fo? reigners. Their right to contraot singly or in large numbers, in China, or in this country, with any of our citizens to work for them, is besides fully recognized in the recent treaty which was negotiated by the Ii arl in ga mo mission. . "Let no one, therefore, who appreci? ates the importance of the movement to initiate and set on foot the importation of Chinese on a large scale into the South be deterred or discouraged by the apprehension of any legal interference therewith by tho Federal^Government. Thero is no law on whiebr such interfer? ence can be effectively maintained." The Charleston papers state that a Californian, Mft-Josepiia-i? former resi? dent and native of that city-is prepared to make contracts for supplying any number of Chinese, on favorable terms tho employer not being required to make any advance. The matter is well worth inquiring into. The indefatigable journals of New York have unearthed a scheme on tho part of our Government for the inde? pendence of Cuba. The Sun, of Tuesday, lets light into the business, and says it is no longer a secret that the Adminis? tration has opened negotiations for that object with the present Government of Spain; that General Sickles has already presented the subject to the Minister for Foreign Affairs at Madrid, and that "two bulky telegrams have been reoeived at Washington in consequence." The pro? position which General Sickles had laid before Marshal Serrano and his associates is given as follows: I. Spain shall recognize the independ? ence of Cuba under the government of C?spedes. II. Cuba shall pay to Spain au indem? nity for tho resignation of the rights hitherto exercised by tho mother coun? try. The amount of this indemnity to be specified in tho treaty. III. Tho indemnity, whether fixed nt ! $100,000,000, 850,000,000, or $25,000, 000, to be in bonds of the Cnbau Go? vernment, payable with interest nt the expiration of a convenient period. IV. These bonds to be guaranteed hy? the United States. V. An armistice to bo proclaimed be? tween the patriots and the Spanish troops in Cuba, immediately upon the execution of the treaty. The island to bo evacuated by the Spanish forces as soon as the treaty is ratified by tho representatives of the Cuban people, and tho guarantee of the bonds approved by the Congress of the United States. VI. If these terms aro not nt once ac? cepted by the Spanish Government, the United States will, without further delay, recognize the independence of Cuba. Tho Cuban Junta forwarded from Now York a protest to the President and Se? cretary Fish against the alleged proposed purchase of Cuba from the Spanish Go? vernment, saying that two-thirds of the islnud are owned by native Cubans, and now held by tho authorities of free Cuba. Aunie Wilson got a ride of forty rods on a tornado iu Minnesota tho other day. A Card from P.

Publishers Augusta Constilutionnlisl GENTLEMEN: I have the honor most re? spectfully to demand from yon, in writ? ing, the name and residenoe of the per? son from whom your journal derived its information-that I had been whipped by my ex-comrades of the Confed?rate army for cowardice upon the field-as alleged in an article published in its issue of Sunday, 25th inst. ; or that in the event of your being unable or unwilling to furnish the name of such person, you express, in writing, your inability or de? clination to do so. Since just as to a man unhappily blind it is Vain to speak of colors, ana to a man deprived ofjjthe sense Of hearing it is useless to discourse on sounds, so for thc reason that a man without moral perceptions cannot possibly discern tho truth, this request is made with no polcmnical interview; but simply for the purpose of testing, in a legal manner, the question whether, when unscrupu? lous and mendacious political opponents attempt the ignoble labor of destroying the character of an honest man, they do not also assnmo the legal responsibilities and contingences which attach to the same. TERRIBLE SHOOTING AFFAIR IN EDOE FIEXID-ONE MAN KILLED AND ANOTHER BADLY WOUNDED.-Tho Augusta Chroni? cle, ot the Otb, publishes the following | account of a terrible affair which occur? red in Ed gen eld on tho day previous: "As our readers are all aware of the nat uro'Of the affair out of which the diffi? culty between; the Addison family and Mr. D. Cresswell arose wo will not allude to it in this connection, but merely give the history of the recent tragedy Ss given to us by our informant On last Wednes? day afternoon Mr, D. Cresswell and an older brother, Mr. Charles Cresswell, left this city in a buggy to return to their homes, near 96, South Carolina. Late on the evening of that.day the two brothers reached Edgefield Court House and stopped for the night at the village tavern. On yesterday morning, between 8 and 9 o'clock, the Crosswells again started on their journey, taking in the hnggy with them a sixteen shooting Winchester rifle as if anticipating trou? ble. They bael not been gone long when some one came into the town and said the two men had been murdered. A party immediately went out to ascertain if the rumor was correct. A mile and a j half from Edgefield, on the road to 96, the bodies of tho Crosswells were found. The Older, Charles Cresswell, was per? fectly dead-the body being almost rid? dled with buckshot. D. Cresswell was seriously if not fatally wounded. One hand was pierced by two balls; the other hand by one; the chin was also struck; one ball entered tho side, another the stomach. The latter is reported to have said that two men concealed by tho1 way? side had fired simultaneously as they saw the buggy-afterward making their escape. Ho identified ono of the party as George Addison, Jr., a brother of the young lady of the affair. The wounded Cresswell is now nu inmate of n private house in Edgefield. Nb arrests have'yet been made." We are indebted to State Constable Hubbard for the following account of the affair, furnished by one of his depu? ties: "An affair of a very serious nature took place ono milo and a half from this place, on the 96 road, to-day (August 5.) At about 10 o'clock, as two brothers Charlie and D. Creswell-were returning home in their buggy from this village, they wero shot by two men-supposed to be George and James Addison-who had concealed themselves in a plum-treo thicket, beside tho road. Charlie Cres? well was killed almost immediately-as he expired within a few minutes after their reaching Dr. Parker's house, situ? ated about 200 yards above where the shooting occcurrcd. D. Creswell is sup? posed to bo mortally wounded. Imme? diately upon receiving intelligence of the shooting, three of us mounted and went out to endeavor to arrest tho guilty parties, but they had gone. A relative t of tho suspected parties came to the She? riff and myself, and told us that thoy I were at his house, and would come and give themselves up as soon as tho coro? ner's inquest was over, which was then being held." - Tho State Treasurer begau tho pay? ment of tho interest on tho registered stock of tho State, ou the 2d instant. Wo feel assured that thc holders of the stock will hail this announcement with pleasure, inasmuch as it will enhance its market value, both at homo and abroad.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-Yesterday after? noon, about half-past 1 o'olook, while a number of workmen engaged upon the building being erected for Messrs Scott, Williams Sc Co., were raising the iron frame for the vault door, (weighing about 1,700 pounds, ) and justas it reached the top of the vault, it swung around and knocked away a portion ol tho wooden partition, causing the sleepers resting upon it to fall. These pieces unfortu? nately, struck, and severely injured Sye White, Allen Glasgow and Henry Tay? lor, (colored workmen.) Mr. Reynolds, the County jailor, who was standing near, was also badly hurt.

ORDER OP THE EAGLE.-We have re? ceived a copy of the following circular, and give it the benefit of our circulation; DERBT, CONN., July 21, 1869. SIR: The political corruption of our laud is well known. As a people, wa clo not love our country as we should. We do not have that pride in, nor that feeling for our flag which other nations have for theirs. Bribery and corruption seem to be linked with politics. This should be checked, otherwise it does not require a prophetic eve to foresee our doom. All other republics have failed we fast follow. To arrest this down-fall of a nation, the Order of the Eagle has been established, its object being to in? still into the young men of America a high spirit of honor, a respect for our country, a love for the flag. To this end, it is proposed to organize societies with an oath for members that they will snp gort the Constitution of the United tates, vote for the best men irrespect? ive of party, and if ever elected to office never to accept a. bribe. The motto is Ducit amor patriae. Branches of this order are to be established, with a sys? tem of correspondence, in every city and town throughout the Union, all working together for tho common good. It should be distinctly understood that this is not a secret organization. There are many things that could be attached to keep up the interest-a reading room, or gymnasium, or perhaps a rifle corps. Will you not aid the good cause by using your influence to organize a branch in your own city or town? For the constitution and further par? ticulars address, yours respectfully, THOS. L. CORNELL, President. E. SFRAGUE, Secretary. TODACCO, SNUFF AND CIGARS.-We hnvo received from Collector Wallace, a copy of a circular issued by Parker W, Perry, Supervisor North and South Carolina, from which we extract the fol? lowing. Thc matter is. bf vast impor? tance to dealers, and their attention is, therefore, particularly directed to its provisions: "All smoking tobacco found in pack? ages other than those prescribed by laV or without the stamp hoing cancelled, is liable to forfeiture, and tho party selling or offering the same for sale is subject to upeualty of not loss than $1,000, and to imprisonment for not less than six months. Smoking tobacco, plug or to? bacco twisted or prepared for use in any manner, found ia the possession or cus? tody of any person, pedler, or dealer, being sold or offered for salo from any store, wagon, or in any other manner, said tobacco not being packed in and offered for salo at tho time, from a pack? age or box prescribed by law, net having thereon the tax-paid stamp, duly can? celled with all tho marka required by sect ions 62 and 68, should be seized and forfeited, and the offender should bo prosecuted for tho penalties prescribed in the Act. "Tobacco cunnot bo sold in any form excopt out of a stamped wooden pack? age. Tho removal of tobacco from such stamped package, on to a shelf, or into n show case, glass jar, or other receptacle, subjects tho offender to all of the penal? ties last named. "Section 72 requires every person emptying any package, box, bag, wrap? per, or envelope, containing tobacco or snuff, to immediately destroy thc stamped portion thereof, under a penalty for fail? ure of fifty dollars for such offence, and not less than teu days imprisonment. Any person selling or giving away, or buying or receiving, any such empty stamped box, bag, vessel, wrapper, or or envelope, is liable for each offence to a fine of ?lOO, and to imprisonment for not less than twenty days. Any manu facturer or other person who puts tobnc sel, wrapper, or envelope, is liable toa fin? ol not Jes? tuan $100, aad imprison? ment not less than one year. "All cigars found in nustamped boxes cu the shel Yea of any p orson, or loose in show casefl', or ' elsewhere, for sale or offered for sale, are liable,to seizure, and the person lu whose custody they aro found .ia liable to fine and imprisonment Every person emptying a cigar box must i ui ra ed i at cly efface the stamp and destroy it, and tbe presence of any such empty stomped cigar box, found iu tho posses? sion of any such party, will be deemed as pr?somptive evidence of fraudulent intent in relation thereto.. Section 32, Act of March 2, 1867, declares it to be lawful for any revenue officer to destroy any empty cigar box found with the stamp on in any place. "All officers should make it their busi? ness'to examino frequently the stocks of dealers in tobacco and cigars, to seo that all requirements of law are complied with, and should make report of any violations to this office and to the Com? missioner of Internal Revenue.
