The recent discussion ou ibo subject o& State politics reveals the existence of a fooling, on the patt of the State press, of al mo s t entire . unanimity upon one 8object, viz: That the present regime should Le suppUutod bj one better fitted tit secure. ..the . prosperity of thc .State. Some slight difieren ce.of opinion muy exist between the anti-raid leal journals as to tho means to bo employed to accom? plish bur purpose, Dui these j ou ru als are ?V OOtt as to- the end to. be reached. This is . gratifying state of things. Ii the discussion alluded to has don o no other good, it has at least shown that the unti radic&l columns site united. And ia this onion there if strength, hope, and ulti? mate success.- - The views expressed by th? papers of tho Stale show, also, the discreet, sensible and moderate course which the opposition prescribo for them? selves. Avoiding a sugar-coated radical? ism, on ? tho ono hand, and a "red-hot Democracy," on tho other, they intend to pursue that lino of moderation, which is usually tho line of substantial success. But.. after all, let us keep steadily in view the main'point We have suggested the thought over and over again. Po? litical estivity-party organization-can but give direction to ike power and Hie influence elsgwhere obtaiiied. Give us South Caro? lina wealthy, and We will return you South Carolina- redeomed. Give pros? perity to tho pons of the soil in our State, and soon they will grasp the scep? tre of power. Heneo it follows that the journals of tho Stato cari in no better way employ their time and energies than in promoting in every possible way our material'prosperity, and to this work we believe th*y are now fully alive. Ho! for the moving the real questions of the hour? -rr*-+ ' , . '? OREA c *MAK 'GONE.-The telegraph announces the death of Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, au event which, though not unexpected, will fall with sadness upon many an American heart. -Mr. Bell was a great man in the day of our intel? lectual giants." He was tho contemporary and peer of Clay, Calhoun, Cass, Benton and Webster, und served with them in the Senate of the United States. He was eminently distinguished in every po? sition to which ho was called, whether in the Cabinet or legislative halls. He was the chosen leader and champion of tho Whigs, or conservatives, in their last struggle for the Union, in 1860. Mr. Bell .bore a prominent part in the history of the Government for the thirty years preceedlng the war, and his name will go down to posterity among those of our ablest, purest and best public men. CoEBsnuBX, September ll, 18G9. Editor of the Phonix-DEAR Sin: I have been officially furnished by the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, of Charleston, with tho following extract of their meeting, held September 7,1869: "Resolved, That the Chamber offer a premium of a silver goblet, suitably en? graved, to the value of 6100, through the Agricultural and Mechanical Association of South Carolina, at the Fair to be held in Columbia, S. C., in November, 1809, for the best ten bales of upland cotton, as to quality, preparation and staple. "Resolved, That the Secretary commu? nicate forthwith the above resolution to the Secretary of the Association.*' Will you pleaso publish conspicuously, and request every paper in the State to copy, that every planter in the State may consider himself a privileged competitor for so handsome a prize. Very respect? fully, D. WYATT AIKEN, Secretary State Agricultural and Me? chanical Society. MB. EDITOR: In your issue of the 10th instant you say : "In view of the faot that ramie is being cultivated in our State, and likely to become a valuable product, would it not be well for our Agricultural Society to offer a premium for the best specimen raised in South Carolina." I respectfully refer you and Mr. Shiver, and your other readers, to the published premium list of the South Carolina Agri . cultural and Mechanical Society, page 3, third lino from tho top. Respectfully, SECRETARY. The .New York Herald, of the 10th, speaking of Gen. Ganby's proclamation relative to the election in Virginia, says: "From a perusal of the documentas published, it will be soen that Provisional Governor elect Walker will be installed ' on the 21st inst. ; and that the Legislature Ju called to assemble on the 5th October. .t is to be hoped that this is the begin? ning of the end of a needlessly compli? cated affair, which has so long distracted the people of Virginia and kept a noble State from her proper, position ia the Union." - --v* >r Kavanangh & Decker's billiard table factory, corner ? of Canal and Cent ml streets.

Yes! and it may be realized. We shall not stickle far a name/when BO great a ques? tion is at stake. The Charleston News, in a late1 issue, would divido the State into two great parties 'radicals' and 'an ti-radi cals.' There is reason and a sound policy in this. Bo this the divi? sion, and let us array ourselves for the conflict. Bury deep in the past the pre? judices against our change, and turn the blighting influence of our circumstances into good. Do this for her sake whom in your Democratio magniloquence you profess to .love so well! Do this, and your actions will save your State, which your heroic words can never help. TheBo thing? settled, the platform of tba' Re? publican party has no principle in its entire length which is opposed to the advancement and prosperity of the South. The party in South Carolina is not respectable. Here is the whole mat? ter! Make it so by simply acknowledg? ing that its principles are settled and irrevocable facts. Kora ember that the negro is~a man, and thar, he is a citizen. convince him that you would guarantee to him these his, rights, and he is your friend. His race is in th?- majority, and this majority ia on your side. Expect him notn-vain delusion!--'to vote to'do privo himself of the right to vote!" FALSE.-The Columbia PHOENIX refers to a statement made by a correspondent of the Republican, that at a recent ga? thering ot negroes at Landsford, a large number of white men from this County struck hands with the radical party. There is not a shadow of truth in this statement, and we nail it as a base fabri? cation.-Lancaster Ledger. SALES ON MONDAY.-A large number of persons were in town on Monday last. The following tracts of land were sold nt what is considered fair prices: 218 ncres, bankrupt estate, for $1,001 -W. C. Patterson purchaser. 1,200 acres, moro or less, lauds of Al? len Morrow, for $1,250-Dr.;J. T. Kell purchaser... Estate of M. P.

[Lanoa?t'er Ledger, UNION.-The Union ville 1 Times says: We hear that Qov. Scott is propared to recommend to the coming session of the Legislature an appropriation of money -say 810,000,000-to carry ont a mea? sure of internal improvement, in which he has largely invested; $9,000,000 to complete the work, and 81,000,000 to buy the votes necessary to obtain the appro? priation. We hope these things are not so, and that "Veritas" will promptly deny them. j SALE-DAY.-There was a large attend? ance. The Sheriff sold, as the property of Ferguson A Hill, the steam saw mill and fixtures at Clinton, (fourteen acres of land,) subject to mortgage. Bid of] at $25. The complaint as to crops was univer? sal-corn short and cotton shorter. As a sign of tho times, we saw on the pnblio square one of Brooks' portable cotton screw presses, sold to Capt. James Hudgens, of this Distriot. The machine was put together at all points, and at? tracted much attention, the criticism be? ing favorable, so far as we could learn. [Laurensville Herald. The Laurensrillo Herald, in reforenct to State politics and policy, comes to thu conclusion : The issues of 1870 will be made ur. under tho facts of the period. Massa ohusetts and Ohio battle now with the weapons of 18G9. Until our time comes, let the politioal war-steeds munch theil oats in peaceful stalls, and fatten for th( Columbia Fair in November; in Jun< next, put them on the drill ground. In the meanwhile, let our muster-rolls In kept in order, and rank and file in good drill for the campaign.

WHAT WE NEED.-Our State Govern? ment cannot remain long under the pre? sent system. Our people, both white and colored, are clamoring for a chango, and soon tho cry of retrenchment and reform will be heard from the mountains to the seaboard. We need and must have a oheck upon the extravagance of the administration, for unless the Go? vernment be managed economically, there can be no prosperity. We need a redaction of taxes, and we mast have it. Wo need a change in the complexion of our State Legislature, and a thorough reform in oar courts of justice. This is what we need, and our peoplo are be? coming more alive to this neoessity every day.-lianne ell Journal. The Charleston News says: TOUCHING THE POCKET NEHVE.-The most important and significant popular movement that has taken place in oar State since its re-admission to represen? tation, is that begun by a pnblic meeting held in Union County on Monday last. Should the people of other Counties see fit to sustain the action taken, a most effectual check will have been given to the present corrupt and reckless admi? nistration of our State affairs. Every? body knows that Governor Scott and his satellites in and out of the Legislature regard their power to use the name and credit of South Carolina as the chief charm of their official station. But Wall street understands perfectly well that the restoration of the control of tho State government to the respectable and intel? ligent portion of the people is now only a question of time, and if it onoe be? comes well understood that it is thc set? tled purposo of our substantial citizens not to recognize or to pay the bonds issued so liberally in their name, but without their sanction, thou good-bye to the financial exploits of young Kimpton and his masters. The subject is ouo of the gravest importance, and we shall be glad to seo it receive that careful consi? deration at the hands of a State Conven? tion which our frieuds in Union bnve suggested. THE PORT ROYAL RAILROAD.-Tho At? lanta Constitution, of the 5th, had this item: ... "lt was tho good fortuno of a member of the reportorial staff of this paper, to meet, yesterday, with Messrs. H. E. Brown and J. J. Flanagan, of New York, and Gustav Lellbauch, of Newark, N. J., in this city. They aro intelligent and energetic gentlemen, representing the National Railway and Trust Company, of Now York, and are en route to Augus? ta, to commence the work of building the road from Augusta to Port Royal. The work will be done, for the company has the will and the capital to do it. The advantages of the harbor of Port Royal over other harbors is too well known foi us to attempt to portray them. As soon as the road from Augusta to Port Royal is completed, a line of ocean steamer: will be put on, to run between Pori Royal and European ports, and grail can then bo transported in bulk from St. Louis to Port Royal. Here, by meant of a grain elevator, the cars can bo un loaded and the steamers loaded, with bu little difficulty, and the expense of sacks, drayage, etc., saved. This is an im portant work, and we wish it a speedy completion. Atlanta, from its situation will become a distributing point for i good deal of grain, and an elevator wil become a practical necessity." Messrs. Flanagun, Browne and Lell bauch reached Augusta safe and sound Thoy will be absent at Allendale, S. C. for a few days, but will return here to re main for a brief season. They mear business, and are tho men to push thc Port Royal Railroad to a prompt com pletion. -A vgusta Constitutionalist. ACCIDENTAL KILLING AND BRUTAL Mun DER.-Early on Tuesday morning, Jim a oolored boy, about fourteen years o ago, was instantly killed, as it appears by the accidental discharge of a rovolve in the hands of Sam Marshall, anothe colored boy, about sixteen years of age The ball entered just under Jim's ey* ball, and went out at tho back part of hi head. Sam acknowledged that he heh the pistol when it was discharged, bu protested it was accidental. Yesterday, a little negro boy, about toi or twelve years of age, was brought her under arrest, from the neighborhood o Cash's Dopot, for having killed a lit tl Si ri, his cousin, only six years old. Hi eliberately stripped himself to kill her and avoid getting the tell-tale blood oi his clothing, and then put tho body in i I pond of water to conceal it. Other cvi deuces of beastliness wero apparont. [Chesterfield Democrat. A negro dauoor in an Omaha theatre sooing a champagne glass standing oi tho railing of a proscenium box, in fron of a well known female resident of tb. oily, displayed bis agility by tippinj over the glass* with bis toe. For tb next five minute*) he was obliged to con tinuo tho display in dodging bottles tumblers and similar missiles, which th enraged beauty threw at bis head, Owing to tho tariff, there is new not i single large ship building in Now York. *V Tl?J3^L AMITY OF THE COAX, M IN E. 4&tfMprowing detail? of the terribie ca EpiOO liveVw?rj^tt, Kow&e pe?s pt the mioers. *Sfe even! is, moreover, noxUwQess. witlffwhlph Ipe miner eon duets his labor?; There was but. ono opqniag to the mine in which these un? fortunate laborers perished. Through that the miners went to and fro, and the air that preserved their Ii?63 descended. Near it? top stood tho inflammable strno tures, the burning of which doomed all below to .death. We observo that, thc ac? counts state that it is probable that steps taken to relieve those in the mine helped the more effectually to Beal their fate. This was the opening of a door whioh they had closed, and the craoks in whioh they had stopped with their clothing. This was done by them to keep ont the flames from the burning material at tho foot of the shaft. When those who came to succor the miners knocked at that door, sulphurous vapors issued through the crevices, whioh drove them off. The flames immediately ignited these vapors, and a pile of coal at the door was set on fire. It was inferred that the ignition and explosion of the inflammable vapors killed any that were living; but we think they perished before that. Thc accumu? lation of mepbitio vapors during the pe? riod that the shaft was closed was quite sufficient to have destroyed all lifo in the drifts. The calamity is bad enough, without attributing to tboso who were 'perilling their lives to save the miners tho cause of so many deaths. DYING MESSAGES OF ENTOMBED M IN EUS. The opinion that the unfortunate miners ila the Burg colliery were all immediately ki'led by the explosion proves inoorrect. -In the note- book of the miner Bahr tho following entry bas been found: "This i? the last placo where wc have taken re? fuge. I have given up all hope, because the ventilation in the Segengottes shaft and the Hoffnungs shaft has been de? stroyed in three separate places. May God take myself, and my relations and dear friends who must die with me, as well as our families, under his protec? tion.-Ernst Bahr." In the Hofl'guugs shaft, too, tho fol? lowing v/ords have been found: "Janetz died; Bichter left his family to God." And again: "Farewell, dear wife! fare? well, dear children! May God keep you. -Gottlieb Heimann." And lastly: "Farewell, dear wife and children 1 I did not thiuk it would bc so.-Obermann." One of the name of Schmidt had pinned tho following words to the breast of his blouse: "My dear relations, while seeing death before me I remember you. Farewoll, till wo meet again in happi? ness. Tho rest I must leave to you. Be? tween 9 aud 10 o'clock." On the other side stood tho words: "Dear wife, take good caro of Mary. In a book in the bed-room you will find a thaler. Farewell, dear mother and sis tors, till we meet again." All must have been over about 10 o'clock in the morning. By far the greater part must have died suddenly. The great grave has been closed, as some time will probably elapse before tho rest are recovered, on aoconnt of the masses of earth that obstruct the way. The rest will bo buried separately. Tho London Telegraph has an article on the subject of Cuba, saying: "The American action with respect to that island is the same that England was so much blamed for, though the causes are not precisely parallel. The Cubans aro absolutely without strength, without civil or military organization, and with? out established government. If the Americans vindicate their action by pleas that they oannot remain indifferent to tho straggles of a friendly people for freedom and independence, then Eng? land in 1861 acted in a manner the Ame? ricans now emphatically sanotion. Look? ing at the controversy in its broadest view, we shall scarcely be displeased to seo America take a stop which the prac? tical world would regard as a conspicuous exculpation of England from responsi? bility to America." A Southern gentleman who is visiting Caba for the purpose of learning the true state of affairs for himself and frieuds, writes encouragingly from Cardenas under date of September 1st, saying the revolution, I honestly believe, will suc? ceed. Alluding to outrages and the de? struction by volunteers, the writer say? if the war continues six months longer the island will bo almost uninha? bitable. Even now along the Eastern ooast the people r.re on the verge of starvation. A Swiss journal mentions that tho neighborhood of Mendrisio, in Ticino, is infested with a plague of black caterpil? lars, which enter the houses, creep into the beds, and causo painful swellings by their touch. Some persons have endea? vored to protect their dwellings by lay? ing a train of sulphur around, but with? out avail. Thousands of these insects have been killed, but tho number does not soem to decrease. In some localities prayers have boon offered np for the re? moval of this scourge. "A Man Kicked to Death" is tho sin? gular heading of a police item in the New York Herald, giving an account of how a man attempted to separate two viragoes in that city, who woro tearing each other's hair in a rough-and-tumble fight, and got kicked in the abdomen by One of them, from the effect of which ho died. . tv-.- * ' ? fr*-1 A BBAUTUJUX.

DEAR SIR: lu your issue of this week, there is a communication from some one who states that there r.re plenty of young men (white) in Columbia wanting employment, and states that the South? ern people prefer negro labor, <fcc. The whole letter is a complaint against the employers. Now for a fact in contradic? tion : We sent one of our young men tc Colombia, who spent all of last week hunting mechanics-carpenters, black? smiths and body-makers; after doing all he could for six days, he at last succeed? ed in omploying five, but when the time came to start, even these failed, We ar? wanting hands, and prefer white, but we find it impossible to get them. We offered better wages than was obtainec in Columbia. If the writer of the article alluded to is a mechanic, and will appbj to us, it is probable that we can fine him employment.
