COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Horning, Octobtr 5, 1870. Doatb of Senator Back. Oar telegraphic colamos au noonoo the death at Saratoga of this esteemed Caro? linian. Mr. Bnok was the Demooratio Senator from Korry, and was highly re? garded for his estimable qualities, florry thus loses one of its oldest and best citizens. Reported IllneM of Gan. Robert K. Lee. Oar readers doubtless read with pain? ful interest the report of the illness of this old hero, so loved and honored by the Southern people. We shall await with anxiety further intelligence on tho subject. The Angosta Constitutionalist, referring to the nows that rcaohcd us in yesterday's despatch, says: "Since- tho abovo was iu typo, addi? tional intelligence, received by our mid? night despatches, dissipate tho sad re? ports of tho first despatch, and wo ore assured that General Lee bas not suffered from any symptom of apoplexy or para? lysis, but merely froiu torpor, the result of unusual fatigue in his professional capacity and participation iu an exciting meeting of the vestry of the Episcopal Church. He has not been deprived of the uso of his bodily power, and is ablo to sneak as occasion requires. His speedy restoration is confidently pre? dicted by his physicians. This assurance will remove a mountain of sorrow cre? ated by tbe first despatch." < ? ??? Educate the masses-the masses of .colored people, ns well as tho masses of white people. Lift the colored man from the dominion of the bad and in? cendiary man who plays with his mind as long as it is kept in the dark. Dissi? pate tho thick darkness that oppresses his politioal vision, and you dissipate the power of the imposters who imposo false shows under the glim morin g and casual rays of light that penetrate this thick darkness. The political power of the colored race has been established. Theil capacity to nae politioal power must be improved or the rest of us must bo ruined. While educating them, let this be done in a way to avoid all prejudice of race 01 color. Statesmen must deal with facte aa they are, not as philosophers and the orisors would have them to be. Then is all over America an opinion and i sentiment avorse to mingling the twe races that are here. The colored pooplo were they in the. majority and in power would be controlled by this sentiment and this opinion, fully as much as th< white people are controlled by this senti ment and this opinion. It docs no arise from thc consideration that th colored mau was a slave. The avcrsioi to mingling the blood of tho white an? the red races (and the red race was neve enslaved) is almost as strong as tin aversion to the mingling of the whit, and the black races. Nature has pot this mark of color 01 distinct races of people. The laws di< not do that.' In order to accomplis! what is good for both races, it is well fo the laws to recognize what nature ba done. This mark of color does exis here in Virginia. At present it is so dh tinctly recognized, that to require bot! races to mingle in tho publio schools, i to reuder the publio schools valuable ti neither. Those who wish to enervate an to paralyze the whole scheme of genera education, could not use more effectua means than to compel this mingling o all races and colors among thoso who us the public schools. The enemies of edu cation have efficient allies in those wh agitate this fusion of races in the soho A of Virginia. Lot all unite, says tho Richmond Ei quircr, not in what is theoretically mos commendablo, but iu what is practicall most useful. To educate thc masses c the children of tho country-white chi dren and colored children-is tho grot object to be accomplished. Let the moi available modo of doing that work L adopted. Moro political bobbies ongl not to bo ridden ou that sacred grounc Ho is au enemy to both races who woul so inaugurate, or so operate, n system < education as to render it practicall useless to either race. ADULTERATION OF BUTTER.-Some tin since certain parties from Ohio mado aj plication for a patent for "a now procci for making butter" to bo used in plat of ordinary butter, which was rejectee Tho application discloses a precioi sohemo for adulteration.

Mn, EDITOB: AS I ?m a candidato for the g ta to Senate, I wish to place myself in a proper light belora th? public. Aa a great deal hat been ?pud for and against me, and as there is mach misunderstand? ing concerning my tme po sit i o ii, I would simply state here, for the satisfaction of all parties concerned, that when I was solioited by many of my fri?nds to con? sent to allow my name to be used as a candidate for the State Senate, I refused, wishing to have nothing to do with, poli? ties. But after considerable thought aud reflection over the slatter, I said to my friends, as there is only one tioket iu the Bold, and I thought there could hardly be an election without opposition, I consented to run -with . this proviso, that if a third tioket should oome out, I would decline running, as I thought it useless for three tickets to be in the field. Much fear has been entertained upon that point; bot in view of the recent an? no un cc m eut in tho Phoenix that there will be no other nominations, except the two already in the field, and that tho voters of this County have concluded to make up their selection from the two tickets now before the publio, I have concluded to run the race to the end of the track, though our tioket seems to bo a very objectionable one, simply because many of the whites havo said thoy would voto for it. Now, sir, I consider every mau in Biohland a free man, and having a right to cast his. vote wherever he pleases. Furthermore, when our ticket was made np, it was made up by Repub? licans-neither Reformer nor Democrat persuaded ns or advised ns at all about it. After our names appeared in the pa? per, several white gentlemen spoke to us, saying that they liked the ticket and would support it; many others said they would make np their tioket from the t wo in the field. Not one asked me to ohange my principles as a Republican, nor even hiuted Buoh a thing. And it is the fa? vorable remarks of those gentlemeu con? cerning tho ticket that has caused ns to be denounced as being traitors and try? ing to steal the liberties of the people. Tho fifteenth amendment, I hold, gives every ono in South Carolina his liberty and his right to express through the ballot-box whom he will have to make the laws by which ho is to bo governed, as well as tho right to express his politi? cal opinions. Now, sir, as a candidate, I proposo to fight this thing fairly and squarely with my opponents, and to have no personal or ill feeling against auy man; and if they beat me fairly, I am still willing to give them my baud in a friendly spirit. There are a class of men whom I look upon as gentlemen, espe? cially those who aro seeking office (at least they should be), and another class whom I look upon as blackguards, that are beneath my notice. It has been said that I do not attend publio meetings. The reason is a simple one. I have never been properly invited to them. I am nob afraid to speak my opinion any? where, and that's the great principle we are fighting for now, and not offices. They also say I am in sympathy with the Reformers, simply because I talk to them. I do not expect ever to have my mouth again closed. I expect to Bpeak to every man, let him bo Republican or not; and I expect to get all the votes I can, as I know tbe opposing candidates will do the same. If they do not, I am not to blame. These are my principles, and auy man who does, not choose to vote for me on such grounds, and thinks I am trying to deoeive, why, of course, let him exercise a free mon's right aud do as he pleases. 1 shall lu satisfied. DAVID PICKETT. Mn. EDITOR: The Union Reform Party hold a County Convention of delegates on yesterday at Lexington Court Houso for the purpose of making nominations for the County. After n close investigation of the claims of the different persons presented for conside? ration, as to their eligibility, qualifica? tions and trustworthiness, tho following names were agreed upon: For the Le? gislature-Daniel Kinsler, Froderio Der? rick. Probato Judge-Captain Henry Caughman. School Commissiouer J. B. Keizer. County Commissioners E. Quattlebaum, S. L. Smith, William Geiger. It is yet to bo seen to what extent this entire nomination will provo satisfactory to tho voting community. It is understood that to-day tho Re? publican party of tho County will make another effort to agree upon a nomina? tion. . AN OUTSIDER. Mark Twain has executed for the Buffalo Express a clever burlesque upon tho war-maps of the Tribune. It is en? titled tho "Fortifications of Paris," and exhibits tho positions of St. Cloud, Viucenues, tho Erie Canal, Jersey City, Omaha. Accompanying it are "official commeudatious." General Grant says, "it is tho only map of the kind lover saw." Bazaine says, "if I had had this map I would havo got ont of Metz with? out any trouble." J.

Battit of Scdsn. T' ' The OCQOUU t which the Patrie boa pub? lished qf thu last incidente ol the battle of Bedan, and whian it said it received from an ofBcer attached to the staff of Gen. Wimpffen, has pot the condoot of the ex-Emperor of toe French in so un? favorable a light that one could only ex peot some denial of the account on tbe part or in the nome of the prisoner of WilhelmBhohe. Subjoined is a docu? ment which baa been communicated to ns, its object being the refutation of tbe [account in tbe'?'a?r?e. We publish it in ?i spirit of impartiality, and beenuso there aro some discussions from which information may always be derived. As to its value and tho degree of confidence it merits, we will co?tent ourselves with remarking that it emanates from tho aides-de-camp who accompanied tbe fallen sovereign nt Wilhelmshohe, and who bear testimony, in some degree foi themselves, while they think, no doubt, that they aro only bearing testimony iu favor of their accused leader. The fol? lowing is the document in question : The letter which appeared in the Pa trie, of the 11th of September, and windi is attributed to an officer of tho staff ol Gen. Wimpffen, implicates ic so grave and so unjust a manner, tho respousibi lity of tho Emperor in tho catastropli? of Sedan, that tbe officers who had tin honor to remain with his Majesty cann ol allow such assertions to be made withou stating the true facts of the cano. Whet the different commanders of army corpi came to warn the Emperor that thci troops were repulsed, dispersed, and ii part driven baok into the town, the Em pcror sent to the Commauder-iu-Chief in order that be might asoortuin fron them the actnal situation. At the sam time, the Commander-in-Chief sent ti the Emperor two officers of his stuff wi tl a lotter, in which bo proposed to Iii Majesty not to save tho anny, but. t ' save his person, by placing bim in th midst of a strong columu, with whic he said an attempt might bo mado t reach Carignnn. The Emperor refuse to sacrifice a large number of soldiers i order to savo himself; "besides," sai he, "Car?guan is occupied by the Prut sians; but if tho general thinks he ca save some portion of the army, let hi i do so." /Vt. the same time that tho ?epl of the Emperor reached the Com mandel in-Chief, the latter imparted to Gen. Bruu, tho commauder of tho Twelft Corps, bis project to collect 2,000 < 3,000 men, to put himself at their boat and to make a gap in tho Prussian line Gen. LeBrun answered him : "You wi cause 3,000 moro men to be killed, nc you will not succeed, but if you wish 1 try, I will willingly go there with you. They left each other, and in le than half an hour nftorward, Gener Wimpffen was convinced that his attem] was impracticable, and no other oonr; wns open to him except laying dov arms. Gen. Wimpffen went back Sedan, and considering that it was Inn for him, who had only taken the coe maud ad interim, to affix his signature a capitulation, he sent his resignation I the Emperor, in the following terms: "SIUE: I shall never forget tho mar' of kindness which you have accorded me, and I Bbould have been happy, f the Hake both of Franco and of yourao to have been able to terminate to-d.13 engagement by a glorious success, have not been able to bring about tl result, and I think I shall do well if leave to others the duty of leading o armies. "Under these circumstances I deem my duty to resign my post of Comma der-iu-Chief, and to ask that I may 1 allowed to retire. I am, &c, "Dis WIMPFFEN." The Emperor refused to accept t' resignation. It was necessarry, indee that he who bud had the honor of t command during tho battle should s cure, as far ns possible, the safety what remained of the army. The Ge eral understood these recsons, ai withdrew bis resignation. It was tu 9 o'clock in tho evening, and the firii had censed at nightfall. It is entire false to say that the General was oppos by the Emperor in his ideas and in t orders bo was able to give, for his Majes only met him for n moment on tho (ic of battle between 9 and 10 o'clock. T General was coming from Balan, a tho Emperor asked him bow the batt was proceeding ou that side. The C neral replied: "Sire, things are going on as well possible, and wo aro gaining ground." To tho observation which his Majes made that an officer had just warned h that a considerable corps of the cnet was outflanking our left, the Gene replied: "Very well, so much the bettor. It necessary to let them do so; we v drive them into tho Meuse and we sh gain the victory." These aro tho only relations which t Emperor had with General WimpD during thc action, and it is equally fit to say that there was the slightest alt cation between tho Emperor and I General. When they separated tho E poror embraced tho General most nfl tionatcly. (Signed) PRINCE DE LA MOSKOWA, CASTELNAU, DE WAU BERT, COUNT REILLE, VISCOUNT PAJOL, Generals Aides-de-Camp of the Em per NAPOLEON AT SEDAN.-Tho Court Journal says: A very general effort is being mado the enemies of the ompiro in Frauen make tho people believe that Louis 1 polcon not only sacrificed the honoi his country but his own houor by a 1 graceful aud cowardly surrender. 1 tho various accounts whioh reaoh from German sources tell a very differ tale. Ono correspondent avers that Emperor oharged four times nt tho hi of his troops against tho Bavariani Balan. . Another states that he fought from 6 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon, and that it tras only with the greatest difficulty that the o racers of his steff persuaded him to leave the ?old when the straggle became hopeless. And, lastly, we have the oxplioit declara? tion of the offloial Staaisa?zciqer, of Berilo, to the effect that, "According to reliable information-the statements, namely, of eye witnesses-the Emperor at the battle of Sedan exposed himself to our fire in snob, a manner that his intention indubitably was to seek death."

STETSON'S SONS' REPLY. ASTOR HOUSE, September 1G. A. M. Powell, Esq : DEAR SIR: In reply to your communi? cation of the 16th, I would simply say, that at this season of the year our house is filled to its utmost capacity, and by permanent, parties. Still, being willing that tho now element in our political machinery should bo afforded every op? portunity of receiving tho polish neces? sary to secure it at least a social equality with the struggling Caucussiau, I will most willingly reimburse you any ex? pense you may be at while entertaining the Hon. G. T. Ruby, State Senator for the Galveston District, Texas, at your private residence, such expenditure to be submitted to examination by two par? ties to bc appointed ns auditors by us, and iu case of a difference occurring, to be referred to a party chosen by them. Yours respectfully, C. A. STETSON'S SONS. Tlie Political Polar Star of thc South. Hon. A. H. Stephens, in a recent lot? ter to Mr. J. A. Stewart, of Rome, Ga., ou tho qualifications of Congressmen, thus points out the great goal to which all Southern politics should tend: *.*-****?*?* But the fact that a good and true man could toko it (tho test oath) ought not, in my opinion, to be auy objection to any one iu looking ont for members of Congress. There uro some who eau take it that I would not vote for. But my reasons are not founded upon tho simple fact that they caw take it; they rise from the fact of their radical, centralizing principles, which are at war with the whole frame-work of tho Constitution. A more ardent devoteo to n perpetual union of tho States under tho Constitu? tion than I am, never lived. My own opiniou is, that the surest gnarautce of this is the full recognition of the sove? reign tight of each member to quit it when iu her deliberate judgment thc compact has been broken. This recog? nized right, in the opinion of Mr. Jeffer? son, was the greatest security against violations of the constitution, and a complete check against ultimate central? ism or empire. When there is no such recognized check the dauger of centrali? zation is imminent and perilous. I, however, do not require those with whom I act to agree with mo on those particular points. It is enough for me, in all practical acts, that my associate shall earnestly strive to prevent central? isai, and maintain, by his language, votes, and efforts of all sorts, tho rights of the States in the Union and under the Constitution. While I believed the right of secession was perfect, yet I considered it exceed? ingly inexpedient. Now that it has been abandoned for all practical purposes as a remedy, I hail as a political brother every man in all parts of the country. North and South, who is in favor of maintaining the Union as a Union of States-any ono who is opposed to cen? tralization and empire. Yours truly, ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS. OBJECTIONS TO THE CHINESE.-While the employment of Chinese as domestic servants muy bo in many respects desira? ble, it is n:t well to avoid undue enthusi? asm upon the subject. A Boston agent for securing tho services of these has many applications for them, but he is obliged to cease advertising tho business for nu unforeseen reason. Chinamen aro very clannish, and object to being separated from their countrymen, pre? ferring to engage themselves in compa? nies. There aro said also to bo some disagreeable experieuces at times, on the part of family employers, in another way. They lind that Chinese servants aro very peculiar as to temper-quick to take offence at slight and, to tho white man, unintelligible causes. And when they do get into a passion, resort to wea? pons of some sort may not unfrequeutly be looked for. At all events, this is what some peoplo say who profess to know them well. That Chinamen can bo ferocious, tho Tieu-Tsiu massacre shows clearly enough. Without, there? fore, discouraging the new movement iu regard to domestic service, it may not bo amiss to suggest seeking fuller informa? tion upon tho Bubjeot than we now have. [New York Timen. The Revolution, ou taking a review of tho situation, concludes that "tho velvet robed aud palace-housed, tho rich man's daughters and the opulent mercbauts' wives, cure naught for woman's inde? pendence; tho hour of trial has not yet reached them; no, it is tho hard work? ing-woman, tho half-paid seamstross, tho weary female shop-clerks, with their worn-out spines and tired feet, who aro calling on their stronger sisters with tho Macedonian cry for help." |5S o o A X Ito xxx cas .

OELPTS.-While everybody will be glad t know that from this time forth the Intel nal Revenue law will not reqniro two cen: Btamps to be affixed to receipts for an amount, business men will, doubtless prefer to read for themselves the exa< wording of the Act repealing this one: ousand vexatious tax. The "Act to n duce internal taxes, and for other pu poses," approved Joly 14, 1870, (seotio four,) provides: .Anti be it further enacted, That on no after the first day of October, 187?, tl stamp tax imposed in schedule B, c promissory notes for a less sum tho 8100, and on receipts for any sum i monoy, or for the payment of any deb and the stamp tax imposed in sohedu C, on canned and preserved fish, be, ac the same are hereby, repealed. And r stamp shall be required upon the tran fer or assignment of n mortgage whei it or the instrument it secures has boc once duly stamped.
