Tho Late Dlfiltmltlca tn thc Up-Country.
Wo observe that Gov. Scott has sent a
message to the Legislature in responso
to the call made upon him for informa?
tion as. to what action he had taken in
relation to the difficulties in the upper
Counties of the State. He administers
s proper rebuke to the mad spirit which
Bought in the L?gislature to indulge
itself in the most hasty conclusions and
the moat unwise notion, and exhibits a
proper appreciation of his own duties
and responsibilities. In this message,
Gov. Scott takes high ground as respects
his office; and the fair spirit evinced in
Ibis message will be regarded as credita?
ble to him-at least by intelligent and
unprejudiced minds. His message is
well conceived. In our judgment,
such a message will do more towards sc?
ouring tranquillity in the State than a
dozen militia brigades, under tho com?
mand of the best military talent that the
"loyal" Legislature can afford.
TBOOHU'S NEW PLAN-PAMS TO BR
ABANDONED FOB MONT VAIIEUEIN.
The suggestion is mado that Trocha is
preparing for au extraordinary strategi?
cal movement. This is to move his
forces to the intrenched camp at Mont
Yalerein, where, with guns and ammu?
nition and supplies for his army, he will
be able to hold his own for a long time.
The New York World says:
"The starvation of Paris, unless the
city should be relieved by the armies of
the provinces, is cf course a mere ques?
tion of time. Foreseeing this, and know?
ing his inability to break through the
German Unes, it is belived that Tr oe hu
contemplates no less bold a movement
than the evacuation of the city, and the
concentration of his army in an immense
intrenched camp nt Mont Yalerein, on
the West side of Paris. Dr. Bussell, in
a recent letter to the Times, distinctly
foreshadows this movement, and remarks
that day after day he has seen loaded
wagon trains entering the fort on Mont
Yalerien, and returning to Paris empty.
The recent oortio which was made on
the East side of the city was a part of
this plan, and was intended to distract
the attention of the enemy from the
movement of gnns and provisions to
Mont Yalerien. That the Germans have
an idea of Trochu's intentions would
appear from their violent bombardment
of forts Issy, Vanves and Montrouge,
which aro in the neighborhood of Mont
Yalerien. It is from these forts that
Trocho would naturally first remove the
guns whioh it is his object to carry to
his intrenched camp. The Germans
aim to prevent this by a continued and
heavy fire. The very silence of the
forts is, however, a probable evidence
that the guns are already removed.
"The advantages to be gained by thus
evacuating Paris is plain. Mont Vale
rein is now a work of tremendous
strength, commanding tho whole city.
Tf Troohu can place within its lines tho
army aud the giins and provisions of the
capital, he can easily afford to throw
open the gates of Paris to the besiegers.
The latter will have a whole population
to feed, and will capture no materials of
war of any consequence. The army of
Paris will, however, be intaot, sheltered
by works capable of standing a pro?
longed Biege, and armed with the heavi?
est guns, and provisioned for a year to
come. The Germans will really be be?
sieged in Paris, for they will be at the
mercy of Trochu's guns, should he be
.willing to bombard the capital. Safe in
his camp, Troohu can wuit for spring,
knowing that every week is a gain to
France and a loss to the invaders. Tho
war will be thus indefinitely prolonged,
and the chances of war will ull be in
favor of the French. It should bo re?
membered that Trochu's army, and not
the city of Paris itself, is the real objec?
tive of Von Moltke. If Trochu saves
his army and prolongs the war at the
cost of surrendering Paris, ho will have
earned the title of one of the ablest stra?
tegists of the age. That this is his pur?
pose, all the indications would seem to
show. Indeed, it is said that ho is so
confident in the succ?s* of the contem?
plated movement that he hus fully de?
scribed it in his will, so that in cuso of
v his sudden death his successor should
carry it out."
Mn. EDITOR: Permit mc to uso your
columns in reply to au editorial in thc
Union, of 14th inst. Tho editorial sets
forth "that tho communication was
written by one of the ablest of our citi?
zens, whose opinion is entitled to great
weight, and that a spirit of firmness and
candor pervades tho entire article," Sec.
Permit me, in the first place, to ask how
. an editor, who has not resided hero over
six months, can judge of the character
and abilities of our citizens? How can
he know their antecedents? Somo great
mon (in their own estimation) were
extreme seoesbionists, and goaded on the
people to what would be called rebellion
by tho editor of tho Union. Some wero
so ultra as to try and get up a mob to
lynch Mr. Boyeo when he advocated a
settlement of the troubles during the
peace convention at Fortress Monroe.
Generally, such characters kept ont of
harm's way, and when mono}' was to be
made, like a celebrated individual in the
Scriptures, took tho thirty pieces of
silver. Many men also talk of public
honesty, prating loud of tho great public
virtue, who never pay their own debt".
I hope the editor of the Union can vouch
for his correspondent's oharacter, and
riot foist on tbe pnblio a ?pnrion? ?xti?l?'.
It is 'really quite refreshing ia these
days, when patriotism means dollar?, to
find so many desirons that the dear
poblio should open their purses to such
disinterested parties a? "Fair Play" and
tho editor of the Union. It is a great
relief that the dear people will hereafter
be saved the trouble of thinking, and
only be required to pay double taxes for
tho benefit of the speculators on city
bonds. May I inquire how much Messrs.
Neagle & Co. are to pay for the liberal use
of the Union? Have the editor of the
Union and "Fair Play" any axes to
grind?
The writer enlightens us poor ignorant
Colombians as to the economy of our
city government, compared with Au?
gusta, but omits to state the faot that
Augusta has a population of 35,000 to
40,000, and receives some 150,000 bales
cotton, whilo Columbia in population is
not over 8,000 to 10,000, and the past
year only 15,000 bales wore sold in our
market. Several thousand bales were
driven off by tho City Council appoint?
ing incompetent weighers. Columbia
at one time controlled nearly as much
cotton as Augusta, and in bv-goue times,
Mr. R. Dulin purchased .'50,000 and Mr.
lt. O'Neale 15,000 bales cotton in one
year. Colnmbia was burned in 1865,
and her merchants lost their entire capi?
tal. There was not a pair of Fairbanks'
scales left iu the city to weigh out the
rations sent by the charitable for tho
support of the people here, many of
whom were formerly the most affluent iu
tho city. Augusta furnished scales for
this purpose. She was fortunately no
sufferer-no destitution-no houses
burnt-no property destroyed. She
came out with all her energies and means
unimpaired, able to contend for busi?
ness and pay heavy taxes if roquircd.
She has her cotton and flour mills and
other manufactories, together with low
rates of transporation by river naviga?
tion. Her commerce is at tho present
time as largo as Charleston, and in all
the evidences of prosperity, sho is far
ahead of that well-taxed city. Perhaps
the well-informed editor of tho Union
might find ou inquiry, that considering
tho value of property in the two cities,
that Columbia bears tho heaviest bur?
thens. Will he state what licenses and
taxes has to be borno by the mercantile
classes, the public debt and taxation in
real estate, together with the aggregate
value of tho latter in the two cities?
Io former times, when Columbia was
in the zenith of her prosperity, and
O'Neale and Duliu were buying their
45,000 bales cotton per year, the city go?
vernment cost about as follows: Mayor,
no salary; Clerk of Oouucil, $1,000;
Chief of Police, $1,000; Policemen,
85,000; Superintendent Water Works,
81,000; Stroet Overseer, 8500; in all
88,500, which is, if anything, in excess
of actual facts and much below the
811,000 uow said to be paid by the edi?
tor of tho Union. At this time, too, the
value of real estate was much greater,
and the population larger than it now is.
The principles of political economy now
seem to be that the poorer a community
is, and tho less resources they possess,
tho greater reason for heavy taxes exist.
Will the editor of tho Union, who knows
so much of our affairs, eulighteu na in
regard to himself? Where did he como
from? How long has he been hore?
How much wus his compensation at
home? How much does ho make here?
Is it true that Denny makes a large
amount per day in excess of a fair
charge for the publio printiug? Is tho
editor in the ring with Neagle & Co.?
Has he any city bouds? Aud last,
though not least, is the case of Cesar
Gurley true? If the editor answers these
questions in a spirit of candor and fair?
ness, wo have a few more of the sumo
sort left. INQUIRER.
CoiiUMDiA, S. C., January 16, 1871.
MK. EDITOR: Please allow me, through
the columns of your paper, to mako a
brief statement of the wrongs now being
perpetrated against the law-abiding citi?
zens of Riohland County. Some few
days ago, I had an account agaiust the
County Treasurer. I asked him to cash
tho check, which amount was $48.00.
He refused to do so, on tho ground
that the check was illegal. I stood in
need of tho money, aud was forced to
dispose of the check at n ruinous dis?
count. Tho Sheriff of the said County
bought it of mo, at a discount of 80.61),
and had it cashed at tho office of the
County Treasurer. The Treasurer's at?
tention was called to tho fact, that it
was the same check which ho had previ?
ously refused to cash for mo.
Fellow-citizens, I think it is now time
for us to have these matters looked into,
or we. will bo utterly ruined. It is too
hard for a man to work for his money
and bo thus defrauded out of it, by men
who pretend to bo honest men. Look
well to it at ouce, fellow-citizens, and
have a stop put to it-como together,
and :<licit the aid of tho Executive in
our behalf in putting down such out?
rages ugainst tho public.
I am prepared to mako affidavit to the
above statement.

MURDER ON PINE ISLAND, S. C.-It
will perhaps bo remembered that in Oc?
tober lust we published an account of
tho shooting of two negroes on Pine Isl?
and, in South Carolina, while they were
engaged in stealing a hog, the property
of Mr. Isaac Taten. It appears that the
cousin of ono of the negroes shot deter?
mined to avengo the death of his rela?
tivo, and ou Monday lust accomplished
his purpose, with fatal result, shooting
Mr. Isaac Tuten in tho left side and kill?
ing him iustautly. After accomplishing
his purpose, ho made his escape, inform?
ing two ohildron of tho murdered man
that ho had accomplished the deed, and
telling them where to find the body.
Tho deceased leaves a wife and six chil?
dren almost in destitution.

vestigate the affairs, Seo., of Superin?
tendent of the Penitentiary, submitted
a report, which was ordered for consi?
deration to-morrow. The report is a
very meagre one, and merely embodies
tho statements of the Superintendent ns
to the charges mado against him. He
admits the charges as to the contract
with Mr. Pope-relative to tho cutting
of wood by convict? from lands of tho
State, which was leased to Mr. Pope,
and the sale of the wood again to the
State for tho use of tho Penitentiary
but claims that it was a bona fide trans?
action. Also admits to havingomployed
convict labor in his own private business
of making bricks and stone cutting,
claiming a right to utilize the labor of
the State, as ho paid for it forty cents
per day for each convict so omployed.

Vernon, and to hear tho managers on the

Wilkes, Crews and Moses, accordingly

Messrs. Arnim, Nash, Smalls and Wim
bush-be ordered before the bar of thc

members above named refused to vott
upon tho coll of tho ayes and nays or:
tho confirmation of a certain appoint
mont by tho Governor of a County Trea
surer-probably Susportas, of Orance
burg.
Mr. Swails, who introduced tho reso
lotion, suggested that the considcratiot
of thc matter bepostpoued to some tient
when tho Senate was in secret session,
as it necessarily involved matters thal
could not properly bo made public.
Mr. Arnim earnestly opposed ?ny stiel
disposition of tho case, stating that tin
charge had been publicly made and pub
lished in tho newspapers of tho State
and he desired that his defence and tin
action of tho Senate in tho premises bi
made equally public, in justice to him
self and tho other Sonutors implicated.
Mr. Hoyne then domanded that tin
charges be specified as to time, place ant
manner, which being from tho naturo o
tho enso impossible, the Senate becaun
considerably befuddled as to what sbouk
bu done.
Mr. Corbin offered, as a substitute foi
tho whole matter, a resolution that i
was the souse of the Senate that even
