In another column, nader this hcadi n g, oar readers will find tho sentiments ex? pressed by the State journals upon the questions of tho hour. Of course, wo are not to be understood as acquiescing in every sentiment expressed- Oar object is simply to give, for the benefit of oar readers, a synopsis of the prominent views put forth by the press of the State." "Why Immigrant* 'De Kat Conic Co South . ..j ?spolif?.?? i\ .? . I ?. We have already referred to the nn founded statements of the Charleston Republican oh this subject. The Ander? son Intelligencer makes the following ef? fectual reply ta the Republican: "While enumerating the supposed reasons for- the aba?nco of immi? gration to South Carolina, thc writer affords the true and, only ground upon which settlers are kept away. He has gone on to mis-state the views and feelings of our people, and malign their character for decency and ordinary hos? pitality. He has grossly misrepresented the entire State, and with his assumed superior knowledge, we must conclude that he does this thing knowingly and wilfully. Look at this sentence: 'A Northern man, a Yahkeo, who avows his sentiments, is, in some .portions of this State, not safe from personal violence, and in no county is he safe from annoy? ance and insult.' Here is defamation of the most malignant type, in what 'por? tions' of the State are Northern men treated with personal'violence? Whero ure the instances of such treatment? Has the writer been in every county, and him? self been snbjeoted to 'annoyance and insult?' If so, did he mingle among the white people? It is barely possible that 3very 'carpet-bagger' in the State has re? ceived contempt at the Jiands of tho white citizens; . Bot this does not pro seed from the fact that he is a North? erner, or that he is a Republican. The secret lies deeper than either of these. Se is a disturber bf t ho public peace, an interloper, and a fomenter of discord ind dissatisfaction among all classes. In this light, he has been treated with rich? ly deserved contempt, which is doubtless mnoying and iusultiug.to the dignity of this professed representativo of f 'great moral reforms' and' new^light Republi? canism. But, in all sincerity, we would like to know a single ?nstanos > where a Northern mau.and a Republican-not au office-seeker-has been annoyed and in? sulted, his character and reputation as? sailed, and above all, 'his children in? sulted at school, his family slandered and abused.' Since the war, it has been our fortuno to meet with a number of Northerners in this State, and among them those who were declared Republi? cans.' We havo never seen them insulted, or heard of their being annoyed in con? sequence of their political ?pinions. We do know, however, that the pore, una? dulterated 'Yankee adventurer,' yclept the carpet-bagger, has been subjected to the taunts and jeers .of the populace. His thirsty soul is longing after fat offices and paying jobs, and he does not hesi? tate to abuse and villify the only barrier betwixt him and the coveted treasure. In return for this onslaught made upon their character as a people, the white citizens have dealt with him 'in the man? ner and form aforesaid,' as the indict? ments hath it. "As a retaliatory measure, such evi? dences aro given to the North as is con? tained in the article from which wo lia ve quoted. Because these unscrupulous adventurers meet with obstacles iu the path of thoir covetousness and impecu niosity, forthwith 'his sufferings are he? ralded all over the North,' and he be? comes a martyr to the intolerance and proscription of the Southern people. In this mauner, publio opinion is manufac? tured at tho North, while the genuine Northern immigrant, quietly pursuing his avocation and not seeking after the 'loaves and fishes,' is far from being reckoned in the count. There are hun? dreds of this latter class ali over the South, tempted by cheap lands and abundant crops, who do not desire to mingle in politics, and whose lives are free from the slightest persecution, to? gether with thoir families. Why do we not hear an occasional wail from this class? Simply that they are not subject? ed to the same treatment as their unwor? thy brethren, and are making good citi? zens and pleasant neighbors. We draw the distinction between these different classes of 'Northern adventurers,' and trust that it wil? be maintained for all time to come. In like manner would the people of Massachusetts, or any other State of the Union, regard the coming of Southerners in their midst. A score or two of South Carolinians might ven? ture into any New England Stute, and combine with labor against capital in or? der to secure the honors and emoluments of office. Would they be received hearti? ly, aud welcomed into social life, while seeking to disturb tho relations now ex? isting between the various class, s of its population? They would undoubtedly meet with contumely, not only from those against whom they would array the poorer classes, but their boheme would result in n most ignominious failure to gain the confidence and support of the laboring men. Hence, it is no wonder that a similar gang of adventurers are received with distrust here. The intelli? gent population of the South know their purposes and penetrate their designs. Tho ignorant and uneducated negroes are duped for awhile, allowing thoir pre? judices and passions to sway their actions, but even this deluded population will yot arise in their might and Boom the em? braces of the 'carpet-bagger.'"

The Intelli? gencer calla the attention of tba Auder .on people to the advantages of the Air Line Railroad, and gives an effectual an? swer-as will be elsewhere seen-to the statement, ol tho Charleston Republican, as to " why immigrants do uot come to Sooth Carolina." GBEENYTM?E.-The Enterprise, on the subject of "State Taxes," and a meeting in Greenville County, says: "We last week published the proceed? ings of a large and respectable meeting of the citizens of Glassy Mountain Town? ship, held on the 25th August. They were moderate, wiso and patriotic, free from party feeling, and well calculated to concentrate public opinion on just and proper means of rescuing the people of the State from tbo terrible oppression of high taxes, that a central board iu Columbia arbitrarily doubles or fixes any way they like, and gives to a few men or to a single niau the despotic power of extorting unjustly money from tho citi? zens under tho forms of law. The whole system of the taxes iu this State is suoh as no free people ought to bear when they have the power of relieving them? selves, easily and peacefully, by the bal? lot. "The only way tho noonie can be long oppressed in this .country is by. party excitement; boneo we perceive that office-seekers and office-holders are al? ways striving to get the people to quar? relling about party matters, instead of attending to their true interest. "The proceedings of tho meeting of the 25th August, at which John Dill pro sided as Chairman, and Jefferson Barton actod as Secretary, ought to be preserved by all our citizens, as furnishing tho true principles upon which republican liberty must be maintained. The people ought not to quarrel with caph other, but unito j as one man to defeat high taxes aud high salaries and numerous officials, and mul? titudes of hungry office-seekers that come from far and near to eat our sub? stance and tax us at thoir own pleasure to a degree never known before since tho , first settlement of this country. Tho ; meeting already referred to protests against division and strife, because they j feol that they must unite iu harmony to defeat the common oppressor*, aud save themselves and country. "Aud they say truly, 'division and par? ity strife teud to weaken the efforts of tho upright, and put bad men iu power.' " CHESTER.-The Reporter, on the sub? ject of debts contracted before and dur? ing the war, hopes that tho principle of paying thirty-three cents or twenty-five couts on the dollar may be acquiesced in for debts made before the war. As to debts made during the war, it holds that j these should be subject to the ordinance of 1865, or to Corbin's bill of 18C9. The I Reporter calls attention to the importanoe of the Air Line Railroad to Chester. SUMTEE.-The Watchman discusses at length the Chinese labor question and expresses its preference for white iniuii grants. OCONEE.-The Courier contains a cull from F. N. Garvin, Esq., President of j tho old Central Club, to the Democrats of Pickeus County, tore-organize Demo- j eratic clubs in every township. Cn AI: LI: STUN.-Tho Weirs says: "When tho 'Little Giant' of Illinois tersely gave utterance to tho truth that 'this is the white man's Government,' be little dreamed of thc importance that his words were destined to assume, as an axiom in the future politics of his coun? try. In spite of the mouthiugs of dema? gogues and fanatics, in spite of the tem? porary prevalence of negro rule over somo of the fairest sections of our land, that grand, yet simple, declaration of Mr. Douglas steadily gathers forco and credit with the people of North and South alike. And it is worth whilo that our colored people, who have been taught to regard the saying ns a denial of their inherent rights, should hear what a negro-an unquestionable Ethio? pian, but ono of the very few indivi? duals of that race who have exhibited the white man's comprehension of a great truth-has to say about it. At an educational convention recently held at Louisville, Ky., P. H. Clark, a negro, living in Cincinnati, made au address, in which ho said : "'I trust that I shall shock nobody's prejudices, alarm no person's fears for my sanity, when I, a colored man, and a life-long agitator for colored men's / ?ghin, declare, as I now do, that this ii a white man's country. In all its wide-spread grandeur of mountain, valley aud plain, of river, lake and ocean, of densely crowded city and uninhabited wild, from sterile, frozen Alaska to tho warm shores of the Gulf, this country belongs to the white man, to him and his heirs forever. It was a white man's ship burst through tho gloom which had shrouded this con? tinent from tho eyes of tho old world for so many centuries, aud it was a white rar.u who leaped first upon the shore, claiming tho now laud for himself and his brethren. White men have con? quered this continent. Its teoming fields, its mines, its wealth-producing indus? tries, its thousand cities, belong to them. This is a white mau's civilization. We gain enlightenment from a literature which, ia all ile ^ varied ^departments ?ielF^hai'e ^?L? perflBfiro care. Thia, too, is a Wliit0jjw$W. erfcnent. Our Union of States, our uarantoo ol' free thought ^d??ra& sp?ecli, our method of e?aotin? laws hy? men selected by the people-ali these aro his peculiar modes, and are tha crystal ized results of his political experience.

White men have come to ns by hundreds bf thousands each year, by millions every ten years. They have, do and will control the destinies of the people residing npon this continent ' "Could Stephen A. Douglas himself have uttered a more forcible and elo? quent vindication of his race?" FAIRFIELD.-The .Weirs now argues that "but one party" is "needed in South Carolina." It believes that two-thirds of the blacks would next year "vote en? thusiastically" with the 50,000 whites, if the said blacks really understood the "republioau position" of tho Demo? cratic press of the State. It says that "niggerology" is "tho one great educa? tion and science needed in South Caro? lina." EDGEFTELD.-The Advertiser points to Hungary and Ireland as illustrating the proposition that a persistent adherence to their cause will ultimately bring a people success. It deplores the disposi? tion on tlie part of somo of tho Southern journals to make concessions to the dominant powers. As for itself, it stands square up to the mark of its convictions. -In flue, if we understand the Advertiser aright, it announces itself in accord with the extreme branch of the Northern De? mocracy. YORK.-Tho Enquirer calls again for a savings bank there, and advises against the movement started in Union on the subject of the State debt since 18G5, as one not likely to effect the object aimed at. AnnEviiiiiE.-The Press regrets that it cannot agree with its fellow-citizens of Union in their recent move in relation to tho bonded debt of the State. It says: "To sum up in a word what we have said. It is impossible to relievo our? selves of debt without discharging it, and thc only effect of the present agitation, would be to swell that debt, or force tho State Government to the more grievous alternative of rigorous taxation. Let us strike at tho root-reform tho govern? ment-and we relievo ourselves of our oppressors, and restore again tho ora of easy imposts and economical expendi? ture-honesty in office and contentment and prosperity everywhere." Tile Stat?: Centus-Card from Mr. Spar, nick. BUREAU AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS, COLUMBIA, September 18,18G9. To THE EDITOR OF THE PHOENIX: My attention has been directed to an edito? rial excerpt from the Anderson Intelli? gencer, containing an erroneous state? ment in refereuce to the forms for taking the State census, which you will do mo the kindness to correct. Tho law under which the census-takers are ope? rating requires simply au enumeration of the inhabitants of the State to be made ns a basis for the apportionment of re? presentation in the General Assembly; but, in preparing the blanks for this pur? pose, I was induced, by considerations of public economy and expediency, to make provision also for a canvass of children within tho ordinary ages of pu? pilage, and of all male citizens qualified to exercise tho right of suffrage. Hence the blanks and books contain three separate columns-one classified "chil? dren between six and sixteen yoars of age;" another "males over twenty-one years of ago," and, lastly, iltotal number of persons vf all ages." Upon the figures of the latter, which in the aggregate should embrace our whole population, irrespective of ages, obviously rests the basis of the apportionment of repre? sentation of the several Counties in the General Assembly; and the cousus takers wore specially instructed to this effect, and enjoined to exerciso the utmost care in tho premises. If, there? fore, the citizens of Anderson, and of the other Counties in the State, have honestly complied with the requirements of the law aud made faithful returns-as I am glad to learn has bcon, with somo individual exceptions, the case-there will be no injustice done to their commu? nities in the matter of their representa? tion. Such journals of tho State as have given place to the statement of tho An? derson Intelligencer, will subservo the public interests by publishing this ex? planation. Verrv respectfully, HENRY SPARNICK, Commissioner, ?fcc. SIIOOKINO AND FATAL ACCIDENT IN BARNWELL.-A most distressing and fatal accident occurred at Long Branch, a settlement about seven miles from Blackville, on Wednesday last. Mr. William Ogden, a highly esteemed citi? zen of that locality, desiring to have his | well cleaned out, employed a negro for that purpose, who, after a critical exami? nation, declined to descend into the well, which was one of considerable depth. Mr. Ogden thereupon determined to do the work himself, and had proceeded but a short distance when tho rope broke, precipitating him to the bottom of tho well, and breaking his neck and back. Tho Hell Gate obstructions are being rapidly removed, and that famous pass will probably be harmless by December. .nd Fatal Accident. l:jm . ? 5 ra? 1 "*t ~? j " Sf...

A large ieee- had fallen across the- track and broken down a portion of the long tres? tle which crosses Cou garee swamp, a short distance below King vi lie; and as it was not observed by the engineer, owing to the darkness and mist, the locomotive ran into the gap, and together with a number of freight cars, was precipitated to the ground. In a few minutes, it was found that fire had been communicated to the cars, and in a very short time thir? teen freight cars, with their valuable con? tents, were totally destroyed; and mourn? ful to relate, the engineer, Mr. Sobron Hargrove-son-in-law of our fellow-citi? zen, Capt. W. H. Casson-was burnt to death, nothing but his oharred remains being recovered; tho fireman, Mr. J. Gilbert, was instantly killed; another fireman, Mr. Charles H. Burns, was bad? ly burnt; but was taken to his home in Charleston. The flames extended to the trestle-work, and also to the telegraph poles, a number of which were burnt. The trees in tho swamp also took fire, and for a time it was feared that the conflagration would become general. Through thc presence of mind of Con? ductor W. H. Evans, (of whom tho pas? sengers speak in tho highest terms,) aid? ed by Messrs. W. D. Peck, J. W. Per? kins and others, the conductor's and the passenger's coaches were uncoupled and run back-thus preventing a fearful loss of life. An attempt was mado to save thc baggage, by smashing in tho car with coupling-pins-tho only implements ob? tainable- which was partially successful, and a number of trunks were rescued; but a majority of the passengers lost their baggage. The mails were saved. The express messenger, Mr. Thomas H. Symme8, worked energetically, and suc? ceeded in saviog all his money packages, with the exception of ?120; but his froight was all lost. Messrs. J ames Ma? guire and Wm. Lyles (train hands) are entitled to great credit for their earnest and energetic efforts during the whole of the trying scene. The loss to the rail? road company will exceed $100,000. The train had been behind time, but when tho accident occurred, was running very slowly. The locomotive-the W. C. Dukes-was a perfect wreck. The scene, as described by eye-wit? nesses, was horrible in tho extreme, and strung men shed tears nt thc sight, and at their inability to assist tho unfortu? nate engiueer, who was caught in the machinery of the broken engine, and was burnt to death before the eyes of tho assembled passengers. Mr. Har groves was perfectly cool and collected; and although occasionally his painful situation forced from him a shriek, he was yet thoughtful of others, and wained several parties, who attempted to release him, of the danger they incurred, and at tho samo time informing them of the impossibility of rendering him any aid. He called to a friend, (although at the time the fire had burnt his hair off com? pletely, and the lever which lay across his body bad forced out his entrails,) and gavo him a message to his wife; he then folded his arms across his breast, and there they remained until tho left arm was completely burnt off. The fireman, Mr. Gilbert, was instantly killed-being crushed under the immense mass. The following is a list of the passengers aboard the train: D. Bavenel, Jr., and lady, child and servant, E. T. Jervey, A. C. Kaufman, W. H. Dura, Charleston; Mrs. T. S. Budd and child; Miss Anna T. Pickling, W. D. Peck, Columbia; J. C. Mackerell, Blackstock; John Nellighau; G. W. Con? nor, Baltimore; J. W.
