A circular from Bismarck to the for?
eign ministers of Prussia bas been te*
cc i ved by Baron G'erolt, at Washington^
in which the Prtfeaian premier repre?
sents t?jat tho prolongation of tho siego
of Paria ?nd-i ta terrible consequences of
starvation and BQoipl dooompoaition will
be duo to the frnitless obstinancy
of. tho aatkorties i in . power there, and
not to any motive of ambition or revenge
on the patt .of Germany. He holds, also,
that proposals' for peace should origi?
nate with France. It is stated at Berlin
that tho last summons for tho surieader
of Paris bas been forwarded to the mili?
tary authorities there, and if not acceded
to, the bombardment will commence
during the present week. Tho efforts of
M. Thiers and others, promiuont in ne?
gotiations for peace, have not yet boon
abandoned, however, and tho question
is donbtlRRs not altogether a hopeless
one.
NATIVE .ENTIUUPBISE. -In the Scientific
American, tot September, we observo a
fine engraving of Joseph K. Davis' im
pro\{ed;<jo^oh and hay press, recently
advertised in our columus. It is accom?
panied 1 with a complimentary notice.
The American pronounces the press a
model of simplicity, oh?ap and durable,
and one of. the most simple and practical
of cotton presses. Mr. Davis proposes
to devote his energies to the manufacture
and sale of his hay and cotton press.
"WHrrn .jA^. BLACK.- The New York
CoTnrnervdal Advertiser has somehow
conSo ?to perceive that, some body else is
to blame for the riots in this State be?
sides the white people. A reoeut num?
ber bf that paper Bays:
There is much'in the present situation
of affairs in-South Carolina to make us
afraid that she hasn't totally recovered
from heriste severe attack of political
indigestion.or States rights bi'iousuese.
Either that, or the imported white folks
down there who have kindly consented
to "run the machine," aro not tho sort of
men they ought to be. At every election
there is much bad blood manifested, and
the local authorities don't seom fit for
anything more than to got up and
"holler" for United Statos troops when?
ever a disturbance threatens. They
have plenty of lungs; more than enough
wind to rana balloon exprese, but no
moderation, no tact, no judgment, no
oommon BOUBO. The white-and-black
puzzle is too muah for them. Grant
that peppery South Carolinians are hard
to manage; grant that emancipated
blacks aro ugly customers when stimu?
lated to "feel their oats" by Iightuing
whiskey and oratorical gas; grant that
the meeting of fiery Rhetts, Pinckueys
and Lamars with jubilant Sambos, Gus
tavuses and Creaars is not a sight to en?
counter the friends of universal peace;
grant all this, and wo have tho strongest
reason in the world for requiring that
the men who "run tho machino" in
South Carolina should bring to their
work the coolest counsels, the very best
praotical judgment, the greatest de?
cision of character, and the most perfect
freedom from all political bias. That
these qualifications uro wanti?g, wohavo
proof enough in the scenes of violence
and bloodshed that periodically disgrace
the administration of affairs in the Pal?
metto State.
TUE LAUUENS AFFAIR.-The Laurens
ville Herald has the following account of
the casualties in tho fracas that occurred
in that County on tho 20th instant:
Bill Fleming and Bill Griffin killed,
and Alfred Morris wounded, all colored;
Volney Powell, Bill Riley, young Abe
Simmons, Wade Perriu, Young Simpson,
aDd one other, name not knowu.
Moat of these wereiurnates of that in?
famous den "Tin Pot." Perrin was a
candidate for tho House of Representa?
tives. Powell was a recent comer to
this town; was one of Scott's constabu?
lary; was radical eaudid?te for Judge of
Probate, and Mauager ut tho recent elec?
tion, the ouly whito man hurt. Bill
Riley was ono of tho guard over tho arms
at "Tiu Pot." In addition to tho largo
amount of ammunition and arms stored
in Crows' barn, tho cottage iu which the
constabulary slept, iu Crows' yard, was
also largely supplied with Winchester
rifles.
The arms taken possession of by tho
sheriff and placed in tho basement of tho
Court Houso oh tho evening after tho
outbreak, wore seized by tho meu who
came boro during that night in great
numbers, probably 2,000 mounted men.
The office of the Trial Justico Crews,
in "Tin Pot," was badly smashed and
gutted. Except for tho efforts of tho
sheriff, under tho ordor of the Court and
prominent citizens, tho outraged oitizons
who had been fired upon from "Tin Pot,"
would havo mado pursuit and many livos
sacrificed.
A DOUBLE HOMICIDE.-Two negroes
were killed on Monday at Cochran, a
station on the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad. It appears that two negro
men got into a difficulty, or fight rather,
about a oolored woman, when tho ono
shot and killed tho other, whereupon a
third negro, who was standing near aud
witnessed tho shooting, stepped up and
shot the slayer, and immediately took to
tho woods and uffected his escapo.
A locomotive on the Huntingdon and
Broadtop Railroad exploded at Hunting?
don, Thursday ove?ing, blowing to
pieces Jerry Wertz, the engineer, and
fatally injuring a boy named Daniel
Hick.

DANGERS OF TUE SEA.-A passenger
who was saved from the steamer Conti?
nental-wrecked last month, while ply- j
ing between San Francisco and Panama
-gives tho following in regard to the
dangers through whiob he passed:
"While wo were around the vessel, and
during the whole time we were out, the
sea was alive with sharks; their fins could
be seen sticking up on all sides. This is
probably the reason why thoso who were
loft on board the ship refused to leave.
When wo approached tho shore, tho
water was fairly black with sharks, and
most of ns became alarmed for fear that
wo might bo capsized in benching the
boat, and bo devoured by them. The
breakers ran very high. Every oar was
manned, and, selecting a good place, wo
made through the surf for tho beach.
Tho bow of tho boat grounded when a
largo wavo receded, aud in a moment
after a wave raised tho stern end of tho
boat and turned it clear over. It fell
bottom-side up and cpilled us all out.
Thoso of us who fell outside the gun?
wales turned tho boat over and rescued
the women and children. Tho water was
only waist-deep, and wo all succeeded in
reaching shoro ia safety. Tho place
where wo lauded was about forty miles
above Cape St. Lucas."
POPULAR DETERMINATION OF ALLEGI?
ANCE.-Tho New York Eveniug Post, an
ardent advocate of tho German cause,
publishes a communication from n cor?
respondent, "Americus," apologizing
for tho proceeding said to bo contemplat?
ed by tho Government of Prussia, that
of wresting Alsatia and Lorrniuo from
Franco and adding them to Germany.
Tho spoliations which France, if .suc?
cessful, might bavo committed upon
Germany are not regarded by tho Post
as any justification for a wrong of the
same nature by making Alsatia and Lor?
raine n part of Germany when tho peo?
ple who inhabit them desiro that they
shall remain a part of France. The
Post says: "Of tho fact of their desiring
to remain under tho Gavcrnmcnt of
France, we believe there is no doubt in
uuy quarter, aud thero is something
utterly abhorrent to our feelings, as Re?
publicans aud friends of popular liberty,
in tho idea of transferring communities
of men from one Government and one
sovereign to another, without regard to
their wishes, as if they wero so many
herds of cattle or gangs of slaves. This
has been tho practico of the conclaves of
despots called holy alliances and allied
powers of Europo; and it has always
beou condemned by tho friends of po?
litical liberty as a crime against tho na?
tural rights of tho human race." Tho
Post in this expresses tho sentiments of
most Americans. What the correspond?
ent, however, says of tho emptiness and
worthlessness of plebiscites in cases of
annexation, when the voto is given un?
der the shadow of bayonets, is no doubt
true, as it also is of other subjects be?
sides annexation, and of other conti?
nents besides Europe. It is worse than a
farce to speak of elections as fron where
the bayouot is fouud side by bide with
tho ballot-box.
Tho tournament ut Yorkville, whic*h
carno off ou tho 28th, was a grand suc?
cess. Tho day was magnificent, and
lhere wero between twenty-five and
thirty Knights entered. Mr, W. M.
Steele, of Rock Hill, was tho champion
of tho day, crowning Miss Mary Tagon,
Queen of Lovo and Beauty. Mr. J. H.
Rogers was second, crowning Miss
Liz/.io Howitt, First Maid of Honor.
J. J. Waters, Knight of tho Golden
Fleece, third, crowning Miss Lizzie
Lowry Second Maid of Honor. Mr. J.
J. Steelo next, aud crowned Miss L.
Browu Third Maid of Honor.
A Mr. Nichols, of Virginia, who has
been absent from homo some time, was
returning on tho Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad last Saturday, when ho was in?
formed that bis wifo was dead. Ho im?
mediately wont out upon tho platform
and shot himself through tho head, pro?
ducing instant death.
Tho railroad boarding-house at Bis?
marck Station, on tho Iron Mountain
Railroad in Missouri, was burned early
yesterduy morning. Tho keoper was
roasted alive; two other men were in?
jured, and many othors made narrow
escapes.
Tho last rail completing tho Mobilo
and Chattanooga Railroad, between
Mobilo and New Orleans, was laid
Saturday, and trains commenced run?
ning between tho two cities tho same
day.
