As our readers have observed, it is
proposed by the Sonth Carolina Institute,
in Charleston, to move out from ita
retirement and have a grand fair in "the
city by the Bea," in November next.
We are pleased to record this action.
We desire to see Charleston flourish.
It is a city that numbers among ita
inhabitants noble women and genuine
men. Wo havo lived amongst these
people, and we appreciate their sterling
excellences, their tone, intelligence and
refinement. The step taken is a step ir.
tho right direction. Weare in favor ol
all fain, whether in the capital or in thc
metropolis-whether at the centre of thc
State or upon the oiroumferenoe. Mr.
Lawton, a member of the Executive
Committee of the State Agricultural and
- Mechanical Society, has properly said
that there ia no antagonism between thc
State Fair and the proposed Charleston
Fair. Let eaoh be hold, and let each bc
maintained. At the meeting in Charles?
ton, to arrange some of the necessary
preliminaries, wo notice that Messrs.
W. M. Lawton and W. D. Porter and
General Wilmot G. DeSaussuro and
other active aud in flu eu Uni gentlemen
are interesting themselves in tho matter.
Let the project be consummated. As e
member of the intorior press, we take
occasion to commend the fair to oui
readers.
War Revenges.
Tho New York Herald refers to 1 'some
dreadful revenges exhibited by the war."
Notably, that the former seat of thc
statesman, Jefferson Davis, in the Senate
of the United States, is now being filled
by "Bevern, a colored man." Well, this
is a piece of vengeance that Mr. Davis
can boar with more equanimity than tho
Jacobin party that has wrought tho
change. We folks, down South, can
stand itas well as the white people North.
We rather like to seo darkies in the pre?
sent Congress, "but," says tho Herald,
"the most terrible revengo of all fulls
upon Sumner. Tho black mau has been
his idol. He has worked for him harder
than the black slave over worked for
Jeff. Davis. He has set his highest aim
on attaining tho Scuutorship for one of
tho oppressed race. But iu proportion
as be loved the negro, he has hated the
white master. Ho bus boon grinding
him hard over since tho rebellion tripped
him. He has, like Shylock, got 'him on
the hip,' and would feed fat tho ancient
grudge he owes him. But at this very
juncture, in comes this ucgro Senator,
whom he (Sumner) had, as it were, rais?
ed to the Senatorial seat beside him, and
this negro, of all others, brings in a pe ?
tition to restore their rights to tho dis?
franchised rebels and to let Antonio keep
his pound of flesh. It is enough to
mak-9 even Sumuer swear at the black
man, 'Out, out, damned spot!'
"The arrival of a colored man to suc?
ceed Jeff. Davis as Senator, and his being
allowed a seat, by courtesy, his State not
yet being re-admitted, is a most startling
exemplification of the great revolution
that has swept over tho country, putting
the bottom rails on top aud tho top rails
at the bottom, changing customs tastes
and principles. Bills to admit Mississip
pijjto representation were introduced in
both Houses yesterday, tho official re?
cords of the re-organization of the State
are all ou baud, aud the Mississippi bill,
with its colored attachment, will proba?
bly soon become one of the exciting
topics before Congress. Will Sumner,
Drake and Company, swallow tho color
od man as readily as they insist ou others
swallowing him?"

OUR "PROTECTORS."-There has been
nothing heard in town from the camp cf
our King's Mountain home guard sinco
our last issue, from which fact wa infer
that tho usual good order of our County
has bcou unbroken, even by the organi?
zation of a military company. Tho
Statu constables have gone baok to Co?
lumbia, leaving the task of protecting
the border against Ku-Klux raids iu the
hands of the new-made warriors. As
there is nothing for these to do but to
draw pay, we feel assured that their du?
ties will be nobly done.
The Charleston Republican published
the following dospatch from Columbia,
which wo re-produce as nows for our
readers :
"Disturbances in York County are re?
ported. The constabulary force have
just returned, having organized loyal
citizens and furnished them armsouough
for protection. K. K. K.'s, from North
Carolina, have been whipping and out?
raging innocent persons for somo time.
It is rumored that au engagement has
taken place, in whioh eight men were
killed."
The Ku-Klux referred to are supposed
to be buna fide ghosts, the spirits of Fer?
guson and his Britishers, who left their
graves on King's Mountain, in tho ex?
pectation of having a jolly old time; but,
bearing of the approach of Little?cld,
vanished into thin air, at tho very idea
of being reconstructed. Tho eight men
killed, vanished with them, and their
bodies have not yot been found. The
military are prepared to fight theso Ku
Klux to tho last ditch, on their re-appear?
ance, and fly to arms at every breeze
which rustles over the mountain battle?
ground. Should they fall, in the une?
qual combat with ethereal foes, they will
have thc consolation that it is sweet to
die for their country.
[Ybrkville Enquirer.
TUE CAUSE OF THE MILD WINTER.
The present winter has, so far, boen tho
mildest known for a quarter of a cen?
tury. A writer in a Canadian newspa?
per accounts for the extraordinarily mild
weather by propounding a theory which
bas al. least the merit of originality. He
says that tho remarkable tidal wave that
swept our shore on the 5th of October
last, and especially tho low lands of the
Bay of Fundy, submerging all tho
marshes, dyked and undyked, was cauccd
by an uprising of the bod of the sea at
some placo not far distant, whero it is
covered by tho Gulf Stream. This, in
turn, he maintains has boon caused by
ono of the many earthquakes whose
effects have been so frequent in low
latitudes this autumn. The immediate
result of tho upheaval was to divert a
vast volume of sea water from its usual
course, thus accounting for the greut
tidal wave. If the Gulf Stream, or a
portion of it thus diverted, is found, as
be thinks it will bu found, to have be?
come permanently changed, and to be
located nearer this continent than herc
tofore, then this strange and unprece?
dented modification of eli mute will be
satisfactorily accounted for, and may,
perhaps, be more or less continuous.

MURDEROUS ATTACK ON AMERICANS IN
HAVANA.-Four Americans were nt tacked
in the streets of Havana, on Sunday
morning. They were fired on, at first,
by a rowdy, and afterwards treated in a
most ornel manner by tho mob who
gathered round them. One of the men
was killed, two others were seriously
injured, and the fourth escaped unhurt.
The only offence the Americans were
guilty of was that of wearing blue neck?
ties. This annoyed a rowdy, and he
fired on the wearers, and thus paved the
way for further outrage. This is a nice
specimen of Havana rowdyism. It is
consoling, howover, to learn that "hang?
ing for murder is not played out" in
Cuba, for we are informed that the Cap?
tain-General has resolved that when the
culprit is arrested, be will be tried by a
drum-head court-martial and executed
within two boars after the sentence is
passed.
SENSIBLE WORDS.- The editor of tho
Keoweo Courier, writing from Columbia,
thus refers to the great necessity of
placing honest and capablo men into
office: "Wo have to live uuder this Go?
vernment until it is modified by the
growth of public virtue and enlighten?
ment. Whatever chango may then be
effected will not bo sudden, as if by
mngic, but gradual, and by earnest
effort at the ballot-box. The good time
when principle shall prevail will come,
if at all, in this very way. Until the
country is prepared for this, let us have
as good a Government as possible."
SUDDEN DEATH.-We are pained to
hoar of tho suddou death of M?*. T. L.
Crcushaw, a citizen of this County,
which occurred near his residence, on
Thursday last. Mr. C. was engaged at
tho time he was stricken down, in fight?
ing fire in tho woods on his premises. It
is supposed he died from heart disease.
He was a good citizen, an industrious
man, and a gallant soldier in the Con?
federate army of Northern Virginia.
[Lancaster Ledger.
COMMITTED RATE.-We learn from pas?
sengers on the Stato Road train last
evening, that a rape was committed by a
negro on a young white girl, at Dalton,
on Monday. The scoundrel was arrosted
and lodged in jail, butin some way ef?
fected his escape. He was, however,
re-arrested yesterday by the citizens, and
hung to a tree in sight of the railroad.

A despatch from Fort Benton, dated
February 7, states that half-breeds in
from the Indian camps on Maras report
that the Indians are dying at the rate of
25 per day with the small-pox, and they
beg the whites to spare their lives. The
report that Mouutain Chiefs band ami
others had declared war, proves wholly
untrue.
Sourn CAROLINA RAILROAD STOCK IN

in New York, in regard to South Caroli?

there is much inquiry for the stock, but

Itj?kUament w?? opeud today, whe
Queen's speech Airas road by a Conjfais
Sioner, her Mafejisty excusing hereon on
.OWOsmt of her recent indisposition. ?The
following is nn extended report of the
Queen's speech, as delivered by commis?
sion:
Lonna AND GENTLEMEN: We have it
in command from her Majesty again lu
invite 70a to resume your arduous du?
ties, aud to express the regret of her
Mafcwty that her present indisposition
hos prevented her from meeting you in
poison, as it had been her intention
to do.
You re-assemble at a period of remark?
able public interest. Friendly senti?
ments aro entertained in all quarters
towards this country, and these feelings
her Majesty cordially reciprocates.
There is a growing disposition among
nations to resort to thc good offices of
their allies, iu eases of international dif?
ference. The conciliatory spirit in
which several such cases have recently
been treated and determined, encourage
her Majesty's confidence in the main?
tenance of general tranquility. Papers
will be laid before you, with referenco
to thc recent occurrences in New Zea?
land.
GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSH OF COM?
MONS: Estimates for the approaching
financial year aro in a forward state ot
preparation. They are framed with a
view, in the first place, to the effective
maintenance of the public establish?
ments, and will impose a diminished
oharge upon her Majesty's subjects.
The condition of the revenue has an?
swered tho expectations formed iu tho
past session. Her Majesty trusts you
will be disposed to carry into completion
tho inquiry you last year instituted into
the mode of conduoting Purliameutary
and municipal elections, and thus pre?
pare materials useful for early legisla?
tion.
LOUDS AND GENTLBMEN: It will bo
proposed to amend the laws respecting
the ocouputiou and acquisition of land
in Ireland, iu a manner adapted to the
peculiar circumstances of that country,
and calculated, as her Majesty believes,
to bring about improved relations be?
tween the several classes concerned iu
Irish agriculture, who collectively con?
stitute the great bulk of the people.
These provisions, matured by your im?
partiality and wisdom, as her Majesty
trusts, will tend to inspire, among per?
sons with whom such sentiments may
still bc wanting, that steady confidence
in tho law and desire to render assistance
in its effective administration which
mark her Majesty's subjects iu geuerul.
This will aid iu consolidating tho fabric
of the empire.
Wo are further directed by her Majes?
ty to stato that many other subjects of
public importauco appear to demand
your care, and among them especially to
inform you u bill has been prepared for
the enlargement, on a comprehensive
scale, of tho means of national educa?
tion. In fulfillment of an engagement
to tho Government of the United States,
a bill will be proposed to you for the
purpose of defining the status of sub
jeots who are citizens of foreign coun?
tries, and who may desire naturalization,
und of aiding them in the attainment of
that object. You will be invited to con?
sider bills proposed in compliance with
tho report of the commission on courts
of judicature, for the improvement of
the constitution and procedure of thc
superior tribunal, and of the origiual
appellate jurisdiction.
Tho question of religious tests in the
universities and colleges of Oxford aud
Cambridge has been under discussion
for many years, and her Majesty recom?
mends such legislative settlemet of the
questions as may contribute to extend
the usefulness of these great institutions,
and heighten the respect with which
they are justly regarded. Bills have
been prepared for extending tho inci?
dence of rating and for placing tho col?
lection of largo sums, locally raised, for
various purposes on a simple and uui
form rating.
Her Majesty likewise recommends yon
to undertake nn amendment to the laws
whioh regulate and grant licenses for thc
salo of fermented and spirituous liquors.
Measures will be brought under youi
consideration facilitating the transfer of
land in cases intestnry, amending the
laws as to disabilities of members of
trade combinations, and for consolidat?
ing and improving tho body of the
statute which rolates to merchant ship?
ping.
While commending to you these
weighty matters for legislation, her Ma?
jesty commands us to add that tho receul
extension of agrarian crime in several
parts of Ireland, with its train of accom?
panying events has filled her Majesty
with painful concern. The Executive
has employed freely the means at hei
command for the prevention of outrage,
and partial improvement may bo ob?
served.
Although the number of offences with?
in this class of crime has been by nc
means so great as nt former periods, in
disposition to give evidence in aid ol
the administration of justice has been
alike remarkable and injurious. Foi
the removal of such evils, her Majestj
places main reliance on the pcrmnnenl
operation of a wise and necessary change
in the laws. She will not hesitate to re
commend the adoption of special provi
sions, should such a policy appear dur
ing the session to bo required by the
paramount interests of peace and order.
Upon these and all other subjects, hoi
Majesty prays that your labors may ht
constantly attended by the blessing o!
God.
