COD f adera te straggle. The ne weg WtU bo received with profound emo? tion, hot only throughout this Southern land, but in the North, and in the civilized world many will there be found to recognize the greatness of the Confederate laader. ? great and a good man has fallen 1 An heroic heart has oeased to beat! . A grand aoul has gone to meet ita God! Death hus laid low the hoary bead and' the manly form of XJEE. In our telegraphic.columns, our read? ers will, read all the details that have| reached us. "We shall not attempt to usn those! forms of expression tbat would do jus? tice to his obaraoter, bis virtues and hie services. Already bits hp passed into HISTORY.-already has tbe world put upon his name the stamp of GREATNESS. An eminent SOLD LEB, a christian GENTLE-] HAN, an unselfish PATRIOT, the splendor! of his public services was in accord witb] the beauty of bis private life. Lot Columbia this day pay her tributed to the memory of this eminent South-] omer. Tile Reform mooting in Charleston. The Charleston News gives us a full! . account of . the grand Reform meeting lol Charleston on Tuesday evening last. Col. Simona presided. General Hamp? ton, General Butler, M. P. O'Connor,I Col. Rutledge and others spoke, and the] meeting dosed amid muoh enthusiasm. The meeting was frequently interrupted! by radical brawlers, and finally it became! necessary to drive these characters away, after which the speaking was quietly! carried on. Several colored R?formiste? spoke. The crowd was estimated at! 5,000 persons, embraoing all classes.! Oar CITY BY THE SEA has spoken inj thander-tones, and we learn with grati-' fioatiou of the greeting that Generals! Hampton and Butler received in behalf! of the redemption of tbe State. We believe that Mr. Timothy Hurley! is considered a man of mark and author? ity and influence in the radioal party of [ this State. From a card published by him in the Charleston Republican, of Ootober ll, it will be seen what his views are as to the duty of the people to have a fair election. Tho following is the card : A FAIR ELECTION. To the Friends of the Regular Ticket of \ the 12/A of September: Tho Managers of Elections having! been appointed, grave doubts exist ns to! the fairness of the eleotion. I desire to! say in behalf? of the regular Convention]^ and Mr. Bowen's interest, that we teil have a fair election, NO MATTER WHAT n COSTS. No man shall be permitted tol tamper with the votes. A committee! will be appointed to WATCH THLSE BOXES -and to guard them after the polls are closed, and to see that they aro placed io| a secure place until counted by tho Com? missioners of Eloction. Again, Ircpcat,! every vote cast in this County, no mat? ter for what candidate it is cast, must| and shall be counted for lum. TIMOTHY HURLEY. We propose now that our friends inl every County in this State take this textj of Timothy's and act upon it. Lot thc Reform party in every County see to ii tbat we bave a fair election and ? fair] count, just as Timothy Hurley proposes. LET US HAVE PEACE.-The President signalizes his return to Washington byj one of the ukases that Lave become char? acteristic with this administration. Mis souri bas como under the severe dis? pleasure of the White ; House by pre? suming to regulate its own political mat tere. The rebels who have instituted tbe| Gratz-Brown movement aro to bo pun? ished severely, and the party sharply cor-l rooted for taking a couise not prescribed! bo Gen. Grant himself. Fornoy an? nounces, with his usual imbecile chuckle, tbat a olean sweep is to be immediately made among the office-holders who re? pudiate McClurg; heads aro to fall by the bushel-basket full, and by prosorip tion, menace and terrorism tho bolter*! are to be thinned out of any political ox-1 istonoo. The presumption of a great] State cannot be too promptly checked. Perhaps a regiment may bo decmed| neoessary, as in North Carolina. Mrs. Bickford and her son, tho lattot aged ten, wore found dead in their beds at Havorhill, Mass., Monday morning! last, and all the circumstances of the! ease lead to the conclusion that the woT mau killed lier son und thou herself, in nj fit of insanity. Tbo continuance of yellow fevor on Governor's Island, New York, has ne? cessitated tho removal of thc garrison. Four now oases daily have occurred this mouth.

" . , V. iL QJWST. .; THE CAEOLINA ISSUE.-A distinguish - ed Northorn man passing through South Carolina, a few days ago, was suprisedat the military influences nativo at Ridge Post Office, Edgefield Distriot, a station OJ tho Charlotte, Columbia and Angusta Railroad. Two companies of SeottV Winchester Riflemen, who were being drilled at a short distance from the rail? way, marched to the station to exhibit their proficiency in tho mannal of arma and field evolution. Of course ull were colored-highly colored, exclusively colored, save the gleam of the rifles and bayonets. Naturally enough thia distin? guished traveler (who, by the way, ba? gained distinction in wooing tho muses, und not in the field of politics nor in thc trts of war) asked what means this mili? tary? Promptly tho answer was given, an election approaches, and Soott, the reconstructed Governor of South Caro? lina, having proclaimed "Winchester rifle to be the best law," exhibits his faith by his works, and here is the evi denco both of executive faith and execu? tive intent. "Really," said the gentle? man, "I had no idoa of this. Does thc Governor mean to array the blacks against the whites, and control tho ballot by the bayonet. I am a Republican, although uevor either activo or oaring much about politics; but this shooks mo. I cannot subsoribo to such Republican prinei? pies." Long before tho plan of the present political campaign was inaugurated, R. K. Scott, the incumbent of the Execu? tive Obair in South Carolina, deliberate? ly, at the "Capitol of the Nation," in Washington City, announced "tho Win? chester rifle to be the best law," not only for South Cnroliua, but with an expand? ing outlook for Georgia and North Caro? lina. Oa Wednesday next, the author of this infamous, diabolical radical doctrine will doubtless display the practical ap? plication of his political creed. Military ballots will be cast, and military ord srs will direct tho polls. This is the legiti? mate deduction. Grant said to tho peo? ple of the United States, "Let us have poaoo." Mendoza Scott says to the peo? ple of South Carolina, "Thc Winchester rifle is the best law." Does Scott sup? port tho administration? Doos the ad? ministration suetaiu Scott with bis rifle law? Whioh is the true Republican? Which tho loyalist? The. issue before tho people of South Carolina-forced upon thom by the incumbent of the highest official in the State-is, whioh i? che best law-tho Winchester rifle or the ballot? Neither of the candidates were citizens of tho State beforo tho close of the war. Scott is for the rifle law. Car? penter in for a free ballot aud reform io administration. Between those are the people of ?Carolina to choose. [Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, ? ? ? Correspondence from the headquar? ters of King William states that the bombardment of Paris will begin during the present or coming week, probably ou the 16th, tho anniversary of the bat tie of Leipzig, on the refnsal of the city to accede to a formal demand for surren? der. This auuouncomont has created intense feeling in London, in view ol tho horrors which must inevitably fol low such an event. Tho advocates ol mediation und armistice are moro elo quent than ever, but tho British Ministry thus fur manifests no intention of mov ing. General Burnside writes that th? people of Paris are calm, and that tia appearance of thc city is much as usual It is reported that his mission is in th< intereste of peace, and Jules Favre, it ii stated, was on Saturday expecting s visit from Bismarck, from which ii would appear that thero is yet som? prospect for tho avoidance of bombard mont. M. Glois-Bezoiu, ono of th? members of the defence committee writes to his constituents that he hat every confidence in tho situation, one says that 200,000 men, probably 300,000 buvo been organized outsido of Paris, md will soon be ready to march to iti relief. The German residents expelled iron Franco have prepared a petition for pre mentation to the King of Prussia, sotting forth their cluims to an indemnity ?o? their forced exodus. They complain with every appearance of reason, that tin late decree which compelled all Germaui to leavo Prance within three days mean utter ruin to a vory large proportion o them. "In tho places of business, tlx work-shops and the dwclliug-honses everything had tobe loftus it stood.' In tho Department of tho Soino aloni 80,000 persons wero obliged to leavi business and property, and in somo casei wives aud childron, to ?leo from tin country of their adoption, "to which the; had for years dovoted their onergy, ant the prosperity of which they had dom much to secure." Tho money losses o tho Germans expelled from all parts o Franco aro estimated as amounting t< 2,000,000 of dollars in gold. At this rab the Republic will soon have a very for amiable bill to pay. POST OFFICES IN THE UNITE? STATES. There wero about 28,000 post offices ii operation in thc United States durinj tho fiscal year ending Juno30th, 1870, o which 1,093 wore those known as "prosi dential," of which there wero 134 in tlx Southern States, ns follows: Maryland Dj Virginia, 19"; Weat Virginia, 5; Nortl Carolina, ll; South Carolina, 7; Goor gia, 13; Alabama, 10; Florida, 6; Mis -dssippi, 15; Louisiana, 6; Texas, 18 Tonuesaeo, 12; Arkansas, 4, and in tin District of Columbia, 2. In tho W?sten States and Territories there wore 504; ii the New England States 174, and in th Middlo States, 272. . Mr. and Mra. William Taylor, o Morristown, N. Y., wore thrown ont c a buggy oh Sunday and killed. ?.' DIED ron DouiABs.-A startling in m H Ident is related in connection with th eg fe?od in Virginia, and one whioh shows! with what tenao?ty some people willi Ktfng to dollars, y in this'oase a man badi tho earnings o? .yearn in an iron fi?fe.l By bis aide was bis wife and seven chil-1 dren. The roaring watero of the swol-E lon river were robbing through tho loweri stories of his house, outside were a par-l ty of neighbors with a boat, and whog had risked their lives to nave this family. The man would not leave the house without the safe; tho woman refused to leave without the husband, and there they remained watching the safe; the waters rose higher and higher; with but a moment's warning the houso was car? ried from its foundations, and in a few minutes man, woman and seven children lay silently at the bottom of the river. Truly they died for dollars. THE HATRED OP REPUBLICS.-It natl been already stated that the mission oil M. Thiers to the great powers of Eu? rope has failed to elicit tho sympathy ot aid of Russia, England or Anstrin. The geuerol view which they toke of the situation is that- there is no government in Franco which they can recognize. Seeing that the provisional government is universally acknowledged and oboyod throughout Franco, it is difficult to see why it is not a government; and hence the conjecture is at least a plausible ode jihat the real objection to the recognition is that the new government is Republican, tf this is the trueo^oRO of the monarohial ignoring of the only supremo authority recognized in Franco, it is a challenge to the liberal and progressive ideas of the ago which the German people will one day toke the lead in answoriog, if the wur leaves them in a condition to express their political ideas on nny subject. [Baltimore Sun. THOUGHT IT WAS HEH HUSBAND.-One| dark night, not long ago, a burglar en? tered a private residence in Sixth Ave? nue. On ascending one flight of stairs! be observed a light in a chamber, andi whilo hesitating what to do a largo wo-I man suddenly descended upon him, seized him by the throat, forced him down through tho hall, and pushed him iuto the street before he bad time to think. "Heroic Repulso of a Burglar by j a Woman" was the way tho story ap? peared in the newspapers next day. Bu tl when friends called nnd congratulated! her upon her courage she exclaimed: "Good gracious! I didn't know it was a burglar. If I bad I should have been frightened to death. I thought it was my husband, como homo drunk ngain, lind I was determined ho shouldn't stay (in the house in that condition." [Louisville Sun. Particulars of a terrible earthquake! which occurred severul weeks ago ut Ba tang, on the con does of Thibet, China] and Burmah, have reached England,! after having traveled long in letters* written by the missionaries stationed inf that region. Tho whole town was lovel ed, and half the population killed or| bruised. The "largo and splendid" La maserai, inhabited by 3,000 Lamae, fellj with a crash. The Chinese official re? ports, which Dr. Chouvean tells us arc a| little exaggerated, estimato tho loss ofj human lifo at 413 Lama priests, 57 solT Kiera, and 2.812 "common people." Thin ar th quake extended so far, in aseries oil shocks, as to block with debris the im-| perial highway from Pekin to Lbasca. On that line, it is stated, a mouutain| was prostrated and a new ono raised. HonniBUE SCENE AT AN EXECUTION. Tho Vienna Wanderer relates a horrible scone which occurred at Corinth, in Greece, at the execution of a number ol brigands, The criminals were six in number, and two of them drew doggert it tho moment when they wore to lay their heads under the fatal axe, and rushed upon the executioners with frantic fury. One of tho latter owed bia safety only to a coat of mail ho wore under his fdiirt, while auother was dangerously wounded. Tho rest had to defend them? selves with their axes and knives against tho robbers, and did this with so much fury that two of tho criminals were dead iud chopped to pieces before their heads j fell by tho fatal axe. This horrible spec? tacle was enacted beforo an immonso con? course of people. A rumor which has for some timo past obtained credenco, gains strength tlmt Secretary Cox, at Washington, proposos to retire soon from tho Cubinet, in cou sequence of his disgust at tho corrupt] practico of exacting compulsory contri? butions from office-holders for election? eering purposes. He has tho tcmerity| to maintain that office-holders, whiit absent, from Washington, strolling through the country for pleasure, should not bo paid. And for these anti-radical opinions, Gen. Grant-tho prince ol idlers and stragglers-is showing his teeth at Secretary Cox, and threatening to dismiss him as one of tho unfaithful. As an iustanco of German forethought,! we learn that as carly as tho latter parti of August, tho royal printing office at| Berlin had finished and forwarded to the front 5,000 copies of specified plans of| tho fortifications of Paris. They con? tained all tho latest additions, and ulsol the improvements which wero in course| of construction. Tho body of A. T. Avory, of Aurora, fib, was found on Thursday in a secluded spot in tho woo is, about twelve miles from Louisville, Ky., with a bullet hole in tho head. A year ago, the body of murdered peddler was found near the] same spot. Au investigation is going on.l At Branch, Michigan, Saturday, Mr. L. W. Eldridge aud daughter, whilel crossing tho railroad track in a lumber] wagon, were (drnek by the train. The] fi. thor was killed and the daughter sori* |ously hurt. Both horses were killed. Tho latest news from Robeson County,! N. C., is to tho effect that ono of the* rioters has been killed and another oop-l ttired. Two others are reported killed.-' I E* o o al lt? m 0 .fi PDBIJO MEETING-SUSPENSI?N OP BUSI-I STE83.-A public meetiog o? the citizens! will bo bold tbi?.' morning, at half-past 109 p'clock, in tbe Palmetto Engine House,! for tho pnrpose of paying a proper tri-jj bute of respect to the memory of Gen.fl Robert E.

Yesterday morning was spent by "ye local" in a truly pleasant manner-visit? ing tho different establishments where ladies "do most lovo to congregate" those of the dealers in millinery and Fancy articles. Mrs. McCormick had a brilliant display-the prevailing style of hat being tho church-steeple; to nome heads it is particularly attractive. Mrs. Reed exhibited some very pretty orna? ments for the head; tho tri-color is ovi dently tabooed, as two colors only were represented. Mrs. Smith's collection was generally admired-somo of the styles for little folks, more particularly. We cannot protend to go into descrip? tions or particulars, as to styles-as Ar? temus Ward would say, "it's not our forte." Harry Macarthy, last night, at Nicker son's Hall, was splendid! magnificent! sublime! This is but Ibo simple truth, aud we are not sufficiently rccovorcd from' the severe strain on our risibles to find lenora plausible langnngo with which to ?express our feelings concerning what we saw and heard. Tho hall was crowded to its utmost capacity, by tho e//7e of the city, who evinced tho most lively satis factiou at the inimitable sayings and do? ings of the entire troupe. They arc without doubt tho most finished artiste in the "burnt cork" profession that evei performed before a Columbia audience. Their songs, jokes and repartee were new, chaste and bountiful. Mr. Mucar thy'8 characters wore decidedly truo tc the ones imitated, and brought down tin houso in tho hoartiosfc applause that an} actor ever received from any audience, Indeed, everybody was happy, and seom ed to have forgotten the cares of lifo ii the scene before them. They perfora again to-night, and, our word for it another largo audience will be in attend ance.

A ship bas been found imbedded in tb Yuma Desert, in California. As ot ship of Stato was lost in 1805, it may 1 ber. Tho Prussians regard tho America! in Paris only as Parisitos. King William asks no Favros from tl French. Radicalism has carried South Carobc to tho very verge of ruin. And nov vvhilo they stand thcro, let South Can lina hurl radicalism into the yawniu vortex. "Eclamoguzzling" is a word of Cul fornia origin, that is described as meat ing "a misappropriation of tho pub! spondulix." It applies equally well 1 South Carolina. If a man loses bis breath it is of c uso to run for it. He can catch it quick* by standing still. What reason have wo to supposo thi beer was made in the ark?
