CQL?MB?A; S. C. Sunday Morning, September 85,1870. '? ?.i 'r j I i 1 ', i , ' 1 ' ??ss Volantccr White Organiza tiona. As soon as Governor Scot t'a policy tvaa doveloped of receiving and arming negro militia companies, and of ignoring, ia tho main, similar white companies, we promptly ad vised tho formation of white .organizations ci a voluntary cbaractor. This ve advised: asa men? suro of justice to a portion of the peoplo of tho ?tute; and, further, we regarded tho course as promotive of the public security and the public peace. We be? lieve that the public judgment has ap? proved of tho . recommendation made. Several'of our cotemporaries have united with us in the course proper to bc pur? sued by that portion of our people that the Exeoutiro of thc State seems dis? posed to place under tho buns of his dis? pleasure. Wo concur entirely in the views expressed by tho Yorkvillo En quirer on the subject of white organiza? tions, and like that journal we advise those' organizations in thu interests of law and order, .which we believe will, by this rneans, bo subserved. 'The spiritualists are holding com munipn, with Wilkes Booth. They ro? il port that ho informs them that President -Lincoln a?d<himself have made up, and -JU? now bosom friends. He Iarthormore said thatjue was Vsorry." With regard to Mrs.. Barratt, Booth ?tuted .that she was. ''innocuut. " ?o now think tho tjujrviyovs of tho court-martial that tried hov. Tho "medium" might as well have Informed [Bodth that the unanimous opinion ??. tho people of this Vnation" concurs entirely With his declaration. The radicals haye been venting their spleen upon New York by mistaking the oensns. The oity claims 1,100,000 popu? lation, bnt the radical ceusus brethren don't make it ont so?muoh. The Mayor, ?.brimful of wrath and cabbage," threat? ens to have the census taken himself to vindicate tho metropolis. Toe fact is that this whole census business has beeu miserably mismanaged and is a stupen? dous bungle. There is uot a case ou record of any place being satisfied with its figures. John E. Bacon, Esq., conservative candidate for Congress, publishes the following letter, under date of Granite ville, September 22: The Sumter News, some weeks ago, alluding to Gen. Butler and myself, said, in substance, thut Judge Bacon, nomi? nee for Congress of the Union Beform party, announced, in a speech at Edge field Court House, thal he was as radical as Qov. Scott. It is not astonishing thut a radical Congress, under the circum? stances, made haste, by special Act, to relieve Judge Bacon of his political dis? abilities. I did not deem it necessary, at that time, to reply to the article above allud? ed to. My friends aud those who heard the speech referred to, were satisfied that.I had made uo such isolated re? mark. While at this place, (Orangeville,) however, I have beeu advised that, in some parts of tho Congressional District, this matter needs explanation. The honorable gentleman who report? ed the proceedings of the Edgefleld meeting, will do mo the justice to say that he did not even intend to make a verbatim report of my speech; and that the remark referred to by the News, was used entirely in regard to the fifteenth amendment. I was endeavoring to sub? stantiate the idea that, the Beform move? ment was not a new one, and said, iu effect, that reform was, and had been for the last ten years, the watch-word of tho civilized world; that the great kingdoms of the Orient were seeking it, and tho giant republic of the Occident demand? ing it; that it had culminated in tho United States in the fifteenth amend? ment to the Constitution, and thnt, BO far as the provisions of thut amendment were concerned, I was just as good a radical as Governor Scott ; meauing, of coarse, that inasmuch as that amendment had been incorporated into the Constitu? tion of tho United States, thereby be? coming a portion of the fundamental law of ' tho land, wo were all, whether Democrats, Republicans, or radicals, bound to obey it. I might soy much more, in regard to the remarks of the News, and especially in regard to tho tone of its article, but forbear to do so at present, as I write hy the way-side, and necessarily in an un? satisfactory manner. Moreovor, I do not regard the present a proper time for crimination aud recrimination. A misunderstanding haviug occurred in Charleston relativo to tho payment of a Government tax of 2J.? per cont, on railroad coupons muturing in tho last Ave months of this year, tho Commis? sioner of Internal Bevenuo has ruled ?"that no tax is to bo withheld from in? terest or coupons which fall duo during tho last five months of the prcsont calendar yea**, hut that they are to bo returned, like interest from other souiees, in tho next annual income re? taras of the parties receiving them." Paris is represented as quiet and dull. The American, Swiss and Belgiau Minis tors still remain in tho city. Troublo is feared from the Bed Republicans. They continue to placard tho walls with bills auuouuciug a uow Government. . A HEAVY BUSINESS j FAHITJBB.-The New York correspondent; of the Phila? delphia Ledger says\?'The most impor? tant o vent in business circles to-day, ld tbe suspension* of Ihe'well-knbWn Now York ?nd Boston dry goods firm of Fran? ois Skln*??r ?? 3o. Thoir liabilities are variously stated from $2,000,000 to 04,000,000." "V?ry little of their paper is | held here, and their losses, it is believed, will fall chiefly upon New England mill j ownors." VALUARLE STATISTICAL INFORMATION.- I From a report made by Mr. Edward Youug,.Chief of .tim Bureau of Statistics at Washington,.we learn that the total collections . of internal revenue in the fiscal year of 1869 wero $159,124,126; and in 1870.0184,303,127. Ho also ro ports the number of immigrants to the State for the fiscal year of 1870 to bo 387,097, of whom there wero 151,540 females, and 235,551 males. WYOMING TERRITORY-How THE WO? MEN VOTE.-A despatch, dated linn tins, September 19, says: Our Territorial eloction, oue week ago to-day, passed off | vory quietly. There was uo sneers, no profanity, no fighting. The women went to tho polls as quietly ns if they were goiug to church. They seemed to be conscientious ns lo what candidates were worthy of their suffrage, manj' re? fusing to vote for men ou account of | intemperance. A SIGNIFICANT OPPOSITION MOVEMENT. That of the nowspuper press Of Paris against the restoration of the Bona? partes. The' New York Herald thinks there must be.? par?y behind tho scenes looking to peace who are iu favor of this restoration, ab least to the extent of the lato imperial regency, or there would hardly bo s?oh a general outcry from the Paris newspapers' against the scheme. An attempt was recently rando to burn the new Episcopal Church nt Somer? ville, Mass. Two barrels of shavings were placed in the vestry-room for that purpose, but.tho scheme was discovered before serious harm could be doue. It is supposed that some of Sherman's bummers "were keeping their bauds in." Chalons is the great seat of the cham? pagne wine trade. There is ono mer? chant there who holds 4,000,000 bottles as bis ordinary atook. His cellars, ex? cavated in. the chalk rock, aro six miles long, and aro traversed with tramways, through which loaded wagons are driven. After the Nilsson conoort nt New York, ou Monday evening last, n number of youug men unhitched the horses from Miss Nilsson's carriage, and, putting themselves in the place of tho animals, dragged tho young lady to her hotel; but during the transit she was robbed of n $2,000 diamond. A drunken man at the Omaha Hotel was choked to death, last week, nt the dinuor-table, while attempting to swal? low a picco of beef. His wifo almost | died of shame and sorrow. The latest news from China is unfa? vorable to peace. The Govornor of Nankin bas been assassinated, on ac? count of his sympathy for foreigners. George Saud favors the new Republic, but it won't do to build Republics on Sand. New York Smoked Shoulders. JUST received a supply of New York city smoked Bacon SHOULDERS, sugar-cured and equal in quality to lino hams. Sept 23_J. fe, T. lt. AON KW. Phoenix Axe, Hook and Ladder Co.

SCOTT, Governor. <>f South Carolina, INFORMATION having been received at this Department, of tho illegal assemblage, at varions points in thc Counties of Newberry and Laurens, of large bodies of armed tuen, whose co'nduct and proceedings havo beon characterized by lawlessness and violence, in? volving outrages by deadly weapons, inflicted upon peaceful and unotTending citizens; that highways and railroads havo boon placed under guard, and quiet and respootablo resi? dents warned to desert their homos under threats of violenco, thus exciting thoir appre? hensions and disturbing tho public poace; And whereas, it is apparent that a large number of those porsons aro regularly armed, equipped and organized, moving under tho command of military leaders, contrary to the lawd of this State, which expressly prohibit, under penalty of imprisonment in tho peni? tentiary, all snell illegal military aseombb.ges.

The question of a County no? mination was referred back to tho Reform Club?, and a joint meeting called for to? morrow. Messrs. John P. Thomas, J. P. Carroll, W. K. Bach rn an, and E. Stenhouse, were appointed delegates to tho Nominating Convention of the Third Congressional District, to meet here on Tuesday next. RUHAJJ CAROLINIAN.-The October number hos como promptly to hand. Thin is tho first of tho new volume, aud wo are glad to see tho high standard of excelleuco of this stuunch Southern mag? azine in ad o higher still. Full of practical articles-enriched by tho contributions of tho foremost writers of our country, and most copiously und elegantly illus? trated-this magazino is a perfect gora. Wo congrat?late tho publishers upon their wisdom ic enlarging the literary and home department. Wo aro assured that hereafter it will bo filled with the choicest bits of literature, and cauuot, therefore, fail to iutercst Ihe ladies of tho rural household. That practical farmer, Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken, fur? nishes this number w ith a splendid arti? cle on the South as a stock country. In inviting attcntiou to tho card of Messrs. Cushings Sz Bailoy, booksellers and stationers of Baltimore, we would note especially two considerations: the increased importanco of Baltimore ns n market, and tho large faoilitios of this particular house. Tho trade of Balti? more with the South has increased more in proportion since the war than that of any other city, and tho claim of its mer? chants and manufocturcrs that they eau sell goods cheaper than they can be bought elsewhere, finds now substantial proof in the large orders they aro con? stantly receiving from every portion of tho South. Tho house of Cushings & Bailey was established iu 1811, and it has been a characteristic feature of their manner of trading that they have inva? riably given tho buyer who orders his wrres by mail tho same superior ad? vantages he could have secured in per? son. Employing a largo capital in their business, they combine tho utmost en? terprise with tho most elevated integrity. For further particulars we refer to their advertisement. PncENixiANA.-The celebration of the "Rosh A8hmar," or "Beginning of tho Jewish Year," will cotnmouco this even? ing, and continue uutil Tuesday evening. Napoleon's Sedan chair-worked by Prussian needles and upholstered in deep crimson. It is said Congressman H?ge is to take command of tho militia iu Laurens and Newberry Counties. We also learn that the Congressman aud Mr. J. C. Win smith have been appointed and commis? sioned Brigadier-Generals of tho Na? tional Guard of tho State. The Richland Light Dragoons effectod an organization yesterday, and elected tho following Officers: W. H. Sligh, Cap? tain; J. D. Frost, First Lieutenant; Prestou Bookter, Second Lieutenant. The company numbers seventy-four men, and has beon accepted by the Go? vernor aud tho officers commissioned. A few moro may bo added. A letter, addressed to "James S. Guignard, Esq., Columbia-mail," dated "Spartan C. H., 22 March, 180L" and signed G. Benson, was picked up in tho streets, yesterday. Tho document may bo of iutercst to curiosity-seekers. Thero was a varied display of the won? derful aurora borealis, yesterday morning early and again last n'ght. At times, tho Northern sky presented a brilliant huo and again tho flashos of silver were frequent and truly grand. L?rick Sc Lowrance have a nice lot of rugs and mats at reduced prices. They yacc us ono. A. Y. Lee, Eaq., of this city, and Col. J. B. Palmer, of Saluda, havo been apjiointed delegates to represent the South Carolina Agricultural nnd Mecha? nical Society in the Agricultural Con? gress that moots in Augusta, Ga., on thc 2olh October. A cow-hiding scrape occurred near the markot, yesterday, between two colored men-Captain Thomas, of tho Neaglo Rifles, and Clerk of th? Market Nowoll, during which tho latter received several cuts. Tho parties wero separated before serious damago was done. Wo thought that modo of punishment was abolished by tho fifteenth nmondmcnt. If you wish success ia life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experi cuco your wiso counsellor, caution your older brother, and hopo your guardiau genius. Meats are high, but cows low-when they are hungry. Ho who sows brambles must not go baro-footed. RationB that one seldom lives upon aspirations. IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE.-The Hearth and Home, a finely ill us I rated family journal of a high character, hith? erto issued by Mesara. Pettengill, Bates & Co., has been purchased by Messrs. Orango Judd Sc Co., nf 245 Broadway, Now York, tho well known publishers of the Amerioin Agriculturist. Messrs. S. M. Pfctteugill ?- Co., whose great adver? tising agency, established in 1849, is one of thc largest and mo6t reputable in the world, find that their extensive business requires their exclusive attention, and they thercforo trausfer Hearth and Home to the uew publishers, whose long expe? rience and abundant facilities will ?ba? hie them not only to maintain the past high character of the paper, but to add materially to its value. Tho now pub? lishers also announce a reduction of tho ter oin to three dollars per year. The chango will not at all uflecfc the Ameri? can Agriculturist, which will continue on independently as heretofore. The illus? trations and reading matter of the two journals will be entirely different. Either of the journals will be furnished from now to thc end of 1871 (fifteen months,) nt the yearly subscription rate, viz: tho Weekly Hearth and Home, nt ?3; the Monthly American Agriculurist, $1.50; or tho two for Si. As a matter of public interest, we state that taxes ou gross receipts and sales, except those on tobacco, spirits and wines, will expire ou Ootober 1, and the income tax on incomes over $2,000 will bo [2}.? per cent. After that dato, the use of stamps on promissory notes for less than S100, and also receipts, checks and drafts, will expire. On deeds, leases and contracts,- the tax remains.
