. ..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.'"

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.
In numbers, in intelligent energy, the
whito man stands nt the head of all tho
races whichL.kftveJguudA bonxe.ia.Ame^
rica! 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."

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.

fa aro pained to record a most terri
io accident, which occurred to the night
oxpress train over the South Carolina
Railroad, yesterday morning. 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.
