..... ,->; . - 3 STONES .FOB; BBBAD.-The Now York Tribune talks to na abont aa era of good feeling, and telj? vua iliot the North baa forgotten all about the war., This, un? fortunately, is not trae. ? The rio us o has josi passed a bill full, of pains and popal . lie|l-?ov?le?-:^gftih4 'th*j S an th. tTho Senftto attempted to! amena ia a manner which would have aooorded with the Prussian mode of making war; and the outrogo cqmmittee is busy in its infernal; task of inflaming the public mind of the North against ns. Thia Is not like good feeling! Oe the contrary, it Bhows that the Radicals still cherish a sacred ani ;mo3?t,y against cs, and ure determined to achieve our ruin unless prevented by the generosity of our only friends, the De? mocrats o? the North. We aro neither idiots nor lunatics, and when the Tri? bune pelts us with stones we do not mis? take them for bread; when ita party thrusts a serpent in our hands we do not call it a Ash. The era of good feeling oan,only follow'.on good treatment, and of that we have had very little, as the Tribune knows. . . * ' -T.. . .. " S * * THE FBBNOH REVOLT, -Once mor oj Paris is fairly under fire, and thia time, Bad. to say, the beautiful city is being wantonly demolished and the inhabitants maipaed ,pnd killed by Frenoh gnus, From tho conflicting intelligence ' for? warded by.-Veraaiihsts and Communiste? bat one faot can be gleaned, and that is[ - that tho troops of the Thiers Govern? ment have the beat of the situation. Paris is at the mercy of their shot and shell, the forces Of the "Reds" being unablo to dislodge the gunners. Not? withstanding the bombardment of the city, the anarchists are even more reok less than before, Rale or rain is evident? ly their motto, and they seem more than ever determined to be the masters of - -Paris or sink in a sea of blood. Rooko fort, who gave some sensible advioe a few days ago, has again descended to the part of the ranting demagogue. He asks that Favre, Vinoy, McMahon and Picard bo brought *o Paris chained in couples, 'and placed in the Champs Elysees at the meroy of the relatives of tho Nationals who have been killed in battle against the Qovernment troops. This brutal advice is the keynote to the spirit animating the men who have brought upon France her crowning mis? fortune-the new Red Revolution ai ' ! SOUTHEBN CONBRBVATISM.-The Rioh moad Whig, under the head of "The One Thing Needful," comments upon the concern manifested by the New York World about "the few Southern ultra ists" who refuso to recognize the fact . that negroes are voters. The Whig says: M "These-'few amount to bat little more than a baker's dozen in number, and io Influence they are still moro insignifi? cant." But then, as tho World has ma nifested its kind interest in the South, the Whig, with proper gratitude, reci procates, calling the World's at'eutioc to the North, and asks: "Are all North ern Democrats ready to renounce theil old pr?judice?-quit the narrow Demo eratic gauge-and even go with zeal foi a liberal Republican, liku Trumbull, foi . example, if by that expedient only th? republic can.be saved? That is the vita question." The Whig proceeds to dc clare that while a few extremo men in th< South may make extravagant speech ci and supply the enemy with capital, "tin great and controlling mass of tho whit? people in the South see their safety nm the preservation of everything approach ing free government to bo wholly dc : > pendent on the expulsion from power o that party typified by Morton and But 1er. They may not, and do not, expec that the man whom they would prcfe > before all others stands any chance o . .nomination or election; they will bo con tent with any one who can and will de ..liver ns .from the present despotism Are Northern Democrats ns well ad ; van?ed? ? Are they prepured to iorcg one of their fosB? Democrats?--nblo am willing to rise to the demands of tb r thour?. Wp would leave tho entire solee ' lion of a candidate to tho North. If ou individual views could prevail, the Soul should send no delegates and take n part Jn the national convention, bu leave the whole matter to tho Korti with the earnest prayer that they mu selecta man who caa break op the gr et deep' of Radical despotism. That is th one rahing needful; without it a oommo ruin awaits us; with it, though wo mo not attain all wo could wish, we shall t able'to breathe free, to look around u and to start anew, with hopo and hear to rorestablish our liberties." i ? ? ? HEALTH o? TUE CITY.- Then wore 1 deaths in Charleston for tho week eui Toe on the 15th instant-o whites and 1 colored, MBTEDITOB: ? observed, a few weeks ago, iaJbe patriisfr?d proceedings of the City'Council, tile irjtrod'uotion^of "op or? dinance to oh ango the ?names of streets in tfa^city--^ Soutj?'Wbe designated by ndrn)ier4 andi those running East anfl'West by letters.' Now, it is trae that this ohange would bs very convenient, and I; hope the City Oounoil will pass suoh an ordinanoe, with some amendments, viz: Make no ohange ianthe names of streets running North and South,, BS they bear the names of true abd tried mon of tho American Revolution, and South Carolina's noble dead. Th?3 objection to a Ohange, OB just referred, does not, I believe, apply to streets running East and WeBt, exaept Blanding street. I think it would bo a 'popular and good mensuro to chango Lower streot to First avenue, and so on up to Northern boundary, changing Blending street to Blanding avenue. Who will say it would not be better to have Plain streot culled Fifteenth avenuo and Camdon street Sixteenth avenue? Richardson (or Main streot) ought also td be ohabged to either Capitol streot or Main street. This chango would bo of considerable ad van toge in another manner, as it would devise a means-for. the correct number? ing of houses in Columbia. For instance Mr. Agnew's- store, wpuld be No, 1,500 Main or Capitol street, the Messrs. Gib? son's store would bo No. 1,601. Thon how ^readily could n stranger (and indeed our own citizens) "locate"'themselves. Will Council grant us-this favor? COLUMBIA; -j-?J-;-_ A NICE PLACE.TO LIVE.-A writer in Forney's paper,~lhe Philadelphia Pi-ess, begins-his article with this pnragraph: ,\;'*'Any one who bas lived for any length ?fr time.at.tho coal mines must have ob? served the mysterious way in which a man will become marked or doomod who happens to incur the ill-will or enmity of tho mining population. His going ont and his - oomiog iu will bo watohed. Days, weeks, months, nay, even years may pass away, and the unconscious vic? tim remain in profound ignorance of the malignant hatred bf which he is the ob? ject. All of a sudden, in the twinkling of an eye, a billy descends npon his de? fenceless head, or a bullet, fired, as it were, by unseen hands, sends him to eternity." Grant, tho Commander-in-Chief of the Ku Klux Klan, should immediately declare martial law over the mining dis? tricts of Pennsylvania. There is just the place to initiate the Ka Klux bill. RE-BE-BEOONBTBTJCTION.-Mr. Roose? velt, whose trenchant pen has done good service in the cause of the Democracy, carries his humor into Congress, and bits the revolutionists of that body as follows: Tho Republicans themselves so9m a little dissatisfied with their own work. No sooner bad they reconstructed the Sooth than they set to work to recon? struct it over again. When they bad reconstructed it over again, they did not like it much moro than when they had done it first, and, therefore, they recon? structed it once more. And this bill is to reconstruct it for the fourth or fifth time. The ocurso of the Republican party in this respect reminds me of Prince Paul in the Frenoh opera of the "Grand Duchesse." When the prime minister of bis highness came to the du? chess and proposed his hand in marri? age, he wan invited to walk up stairs, then along a corridor, then down stairs, then along other corridors; np more stairs, along more corridors; down fur? ther stairs, along further corridors; up further stairs, or, as tho French has it: il montera, il avancera, il decendera; alors il-remontera, il reavancera, il re-redecen dera; alors re-reremonlera, il re-reavan cera, il re-redescendera; alors il re-re-re montera, and so forth. That is just about the way it is with reconstruction. Wo first hud construction; then reconstruc? tion; then re-recoustrnotion ; then re re-reoonslruction; and this bill is re-re ro-reooustruotion. THE LOYAL Ku KLUX. - Thero aro so rions grounds for Federal interference in tho nftiirs of tho loyal city of Cincinna? ti. Col. Win. Travis, a colored gentle? man, who slings a graceful razor, digs out a corn or bunion with neatness and despatch, and is, withal, no slouch iu military allai rs, saw lit, in tho exercise of his rigtits and privileges us a freeman, to vote for a Democrat. Ou Monday night, whilo peacefully sitting on his door-stop, smoking a cigar, and revolving various schemes for tho redemption and regene? ration of his race, Mr. Travis was "yanked" into tho street by a body of oolored Ku Klux, aud most foully aud inhumanly mauled. The mid-night as? sassins smote him in the ribs, barked his shins, punched his head, tweaked as inuoh of his noso ns they oould got hold of, and put mico under his eyes. In the moan ti mo tho police watched the pro? ceedings from a neighboring corner and turned a deaf ear to poor Travis' roars of anguish. Wo call upon Congress to do something for Cincinnati and for Travis. Of what benefit is the privilege of au drago to au African, if he cannot vote for whom he pleases? SAD ACCIDENT.-We learn with deep regret that Mr. James Heeder, of this County, was thrown from his buggy on Tuesday last, and sustained such in? ternal injuries us make his case ex? tremely critical. At last accounts he was in a dangerous condition. [Newberry Herald. During a recent gale at Lowell, Mass., a woman was run over by a freight oar, ^Vilich had boen left on tho track and was put in motion by the wind. When Adam and Eve pat took of the tree of knowledge, did they study tho higher branches? '""We mokV*th? ?pl?o the Paria correpp^id^ "Yf.rlc florid'm oxpl?'p^?r^^'of i^&Jjff?. Oom ran no ?B and what aro ita objeota: "In tab first place, than, it shonld b? understood that "tho Commune," pure arid si mp! ?j ia not a bad eortjoi.'thing1, nor, to American? vat l?iistJ J^RfW 6ew' sort of thing. Yoa^l^^Xo^h&i? your commune in -your o^wnffay. g That is, you have ioonVaelKgOTersmcni. "New York governs herself by officers elected by lier own ' people', and so does every other otty and _County in the United States. But, above or with this, you have your H ta te Government and the Federal Government. Now, if you can conceive of New York throwing off her obligations of obedience to tho State and Federal Governments, and setting up in perfect iudopendonco on her own hook; instigating B?llalo, Kooli es I er, Troy, Poughkeepsie and nil tho other cities to do the same; and still announcing that in some occult aud mysterious way all these other cities and all tho East nf tho State were to bo subject to New York; und proclaiming, also, a new gospel in regard to tho rights of labor as distin? guished from tho rights of property; if you can con?oive of this, I Buy, you will begin to understand what this Parisian Commune really moans. It in, in fast, simply putting in practico tho dogmas enunciated within tho last few yours at the succcBsivo congresses of tho Interna? tional Workiogmen's Association. There is little doubt, I think, that the whole soheme for the revolution which broke out hore on the 18th of March, and which has been carried forward to this moment with such singular success, wns orgauized in London, in a dingy room in Holborn, and that tho men who plan? ned thu work, und who have inspired the tools who exeoutod it, were Karl Murx, the chief of tho Internationale; J. George Eccarius, who is among your wonderful list of correspondent*; Assi, the French chief of the society; Beutini, the Italian chief; Dcrmott, tho English, or rather the Irish, chief; and Blanqui is the brain and soul of tho movement. It is their idea that their mission is to ro organizo Europe on Socialist princi? ples, and that to accomplish this, tho bourgeoise and peasantry must be crushed out, and "the workingman" made lord of all. This, you will observe, is no new iden. It is simply putting in practioo the theories advanced at every Congress of the Internationale which has been held since 18G4. In France, the ono great obstacle to the realization of these theories was the peasantry. It is impossible to convert thom to Com? munism. Very well, then, let them be crushed out beneath the heel of the uni? versal Republic'. In all the great towns, the "working? man" was in: a majority; let the. great towns be taken by the workingman, and let the great towns govern the cduntry. This is the sum and substance of what is meant by the Communo as expounded by its present apostles. Paris, they announce, ''.u her own nama and in the name of Lyons and Marseilles, and of ten other large towns, will study the clauses of the contract that bind them to the nation, and lay down an ultimatum to ibo treaty which they intend to sign-a treaty guaranteeing the autonomy and municipal sovereignty of tho cities, the freedom of the conneotions between the Communo and the National Assembly, aud au electoral law by which tho towns cannot be swamped by tho country." When you look a little olosor into this, you will seo that tho whole thing re? solves itself into a class warfare. The fons et origo of tho whole affair is trades unionism. In tho eyes of the members of tho Internationale, tho workman io alone to be regarded, and he is a bro? ther, bo his nationality what it may. Tho French employer end tho French consumer, in their eyes, is an alien and a stranger; the Swiss, English, Belgian, or even German workman, is a brother. The internationale has sought to unite tho workmen of every nation in a league against every ono who is not a workman -a workman, that is, iu their sense. They don't want a Republic such as you huvo in America, or such us M. Thiers proposed to have hero. They want a Republic in which thoy chilli bo tho mas? ters and every ono else their slaves. This is tho Commune-a government which is a gigantic trades union. - -? . The latest fashion dictum issued in England is tho re-establishment of the old-fashioned "tea lights," which occur at 5 P. M. They aro said to bc rapidly superseding lato parties, and ure well attended by gentlemen who uro fond pf spending tho late hours at their clubs. In fact, tho innovation has been intro? duced ns n concession to club lifo, it hav? ing been found that tho clubs possessed superior attractions to ladies' society, after 9 or 10 o'clock P. M. By tho new arrangement, tho post prandial hours dwindled away over tho wulnuts and wino by social Dundrearys, will bo utilized by tho fair sex, and tho science of match-making bo afforded a larger and moro accessible -field of operation than formerly. Besides all these bene? fits, tho new stylo of entertaining is said to bo very popular with young wives, who hove thus fouud a way of gradually winning their husbands from club at? tractions. Whether it possesses all these advantages may bo problematical; it is, at all events, a vory sonsiblo movement. I riuzE THE CARCASS.-Whon a far tiWr loses a horse, or ox, or any othor uuimal, instead of leaving tho carcass to bo devoured by dogs or crows, bo should cover it with six or eight times its bulk of earth, ano thus arrest the fertilizing gasses which will bo thrown off in tho process of decomposition. By so doing he would seouro a quautity of man mo which would pay bim fivo times ovor the trouble it would cost him; for there is very little land in tho older portions of the State, which might not bo great ly improved by tho application of fertili? zers. A SEVEN-FOLD, GBTME.--Tbrae miles Sooth-cast bf the piuco known ns Stone Fort, Salino County,. Illinois, there is a ploturesquo doll, surrounded by the T>r* gin forest. The clearing, barely a couple of acres in extent, lie's some 300 yards from the County road, and is oonn?oted with it only by a bridle path. In the middle of tue clearing is a small log hut, in and about which, on the 26th of March, wcro collected the horror-strick? en neighbors who. on that day. discover? ed what wrin.ro about to describo. This wilt] and remote nook of tho wil? de: ..?ss was the borne of a family named Dakin. There wore a father, mother and five children, the eldest twelve years, the ?oungost barely as many months, old. 'be family had ooma, the season before, from Jefferson County, and, although very poor, seemed respectable and de? cent people. It is said that tho father, liko too many of tho hardy pioneers of tho West, sometimos took too much whiskey; and tbero are whispers of occa? sional quarrels between him and his wife. Still, in a general way, they got on well enough together; and, as their little ones must have been, by all accounts, very comely and interesting, it is easy to believe that tho parents, if sometimes at issue, worebouud by strong links. On tho day mentioned, tho ontiro family were found weltering in blood and quito dead; urn! from thc condition of thc bodies, and other circumstances, there is no doubt tho husband nud father com? mitted tho sovon-fold crime. Inside the hut, on somo quilts and blankets, stretched overa roagh frame-work which served as ? bcd, lay the wife and mother. Not ouly was her throat cut, but the head only remained attached to thc trunk bj the vertebr?): The Iwomnn's bauds wero frightfully gashed, showiug that tho poor creature had made a des? perate fight for life. On the hearth, ber head among tho ashes, lay a fair-haired girl-the ol dost of the flock-and on the palUt, where they evidently slept, were two littlu boys, ono live aud the other seven yours of ago. Under the bed of tho mother s fourth child, of not more thou three, was found. All the children were cold and stiff, and nil bad their throats cut from ear to ear. Tho floor, the wall?, tho furniture, wero deluged with blood, and there were indications of a long struggle before the dismal work of the assassin was consummated. It was finished at last, tho woman thrown oa her bed nnd her children dis? posed ns wo have described. The mur? derer, it t.eems, did not himself choose to dio there. He took the youngest born, an infant hardly a year old, and fled away into tho darkness. Tbero was blood on the door-sill-and in truth everywhere elso within-but a sanguina? ry trailed toward the North-east. This, of course, indicated tho line of Dakin'? flight, and the pursuers did not go far ere they found bim. He was stone d ud like the rest, nnd with the same ghastly wound-tho razor that had inflicted il still clulcbud in his right hand. Across his left arm lay tho poor little baby-ile throat ont too-but nestling close to the murderer's side, as if all unconscious that be who should have cherished had destroyed it. The real motive for this almost un? paralleled butchery-Uko that of sc mauy crimes lately committed-must al? ways remain a mystery. There are, it is true, many conjectures. Some say thc unhappy wife bad a former lover, and that Dakin bad doubts of ber fidelity. Il is supposed by these people that tbc wretched man was driven, through long brooding over bis real or fancied wrongs, aud through being inflamed to fury bj drink, to commit this terrible slaughter, Ho died, however, and left no clue to bi: motive; and thus tho strong probability that binnet either nroso from deep con viet ion of wrong, or was tho result of in sanity, supplies the only conceivable *>x planatiou of a deed of blood hardly equaled in nil tho mournful chronicles o crime. . -? -? Two porters, aged eighteen aud twen ty-two respectively, of a Broadway cloth iug bouse, says tho New York Times have long been in tho habit of sellinj their employers' goods and pocketinj tho proceeds, their opportunity cominj during two or threo hours of tho morn ing, iu which they bad solo charge, lin this business being too small fur them they actually set up a branch store o their own in Chicago, with two partner to manngo it, while they supplied it witl goods stolen from their employer* They had planned also a hat storo i: Brooklyn, to bo supported liko the other by tho involuntary contributions of tbei unlucky Broadway principals. But tb Chicago partners proved recreant t their trust, poid out tho stock, amounl ing to about 820,000, nnd decamped wit the money, and tho porters wero com polled to return to their primitive pin of selling in tho morning, "in order t get square." Meantime, tho Broadwo firm, missing goods constantly, put di teclives ou thc watch, who have just iii rested tho ambitious young merchants. Plurbo Cousins, of St. Louis, recent! gave her views of tho ideal tnarriog thus: "A molecule of oxygen roamin through space, seeking for its mute, bi finding none, when of a sudden in som bidden nook it discovers a molecule < hydrogen, when lo! there is a rush, a embrace, and tbero is neither any moi oxygen nor hydrogen, bnt a diamon drop of dew reposing on tho bosom < tho lily." After wbiob abo added tin sho herself was a molecule of hydrogoi but tho only responsive "rush" was t( ward the door. Two respected citizens of Missonr who pursued, caught and banged horso thief, wore met on their way hon with tho stock by somo accomplie) of tho thieves, and wero tbemsylv< hung.

DEATH IN THE PULPIT - SINGULAR ANO AFFECTING SCENE.-The Rev. Benjamin Eaton, first and only roc tor of Tri u i ty Church, Galveston, WAS recently stricken with den th while standing .in his pulpit. Tho Galveston Ne wa thus, desoribes the scene: Ho ascended the . pulpit. An? nouncing his text, "There is vet "room," all trembling beneath the weight of his last message, he referred to one after another of the friends of his youth and the communicants of his church that had gone before. Ho painted death entering the church door, passing up the broad aisle, laying his bony hood to the right and to the loft; breathing his cold, clammy breath on tho cheek of beauty, and wafting tho sil vor hairs of age. Now touching the father, then the son; hero the mother, tbero the daughter, as the spectro so plain to his entranced vision advanced to tho chancel-rail, and as he saw that his time had come, his words struggled for utterance. Ho faltered. His weakening limbs staggered. A gen? tleman who advanced to his assistance was waved back. For ten minutes more ho spoke, his words only audible to those near him. The excitement of tho con? gregation waa fearful. Three times he struggled to continue, saying: "I am vory sick, but I must soy." Again he staggered. He fell into the arms of Mr. C. R. Hughes, as he raised his hands to pronounce the benediction. Liko Moses, that other servant of God, he was too weak to hold np his hands, which wus done by Mr. Hugber, a? he said bis ladt pulpit words, "To God tho father." His tongue refused to speak further; his hands dropped. Ho was carried to bis rectory, whero he died. The Hebraic News is a new weekly pa- ? per in New York. The greater part of it is printed in Hebrew oharaotors. The editor, in explanation, says: "Thousands of our fellow-citizens who have come from Eustern European countries are unable to read either German or Eng? lish, but only pure Hebrew letters, while they have received the education suited to tho requirements of their native coun? try, und possess knowledge and business capacities; they, in this busy conn try, cnn rind uo time to acquire a knowledge of reading and writing the language of their new borne. Many thousands ara largo property-owners, carrying on ex tensive business. Others are honest me? chanics. Still they feel themselves de? prived of that which is so dear to thom the news of tho country which they con? sider their own." FIIIE.-Wo learn, from a friend, that the mills on Black Creek, in this Coun? ty, known as Jones' Mills, .were totally destroyed by fire, on the 12th instant; The loss, including several thousand feet of lumber, is estimated at 52,000. The fire was accidental, originating iu the cooking apartment attached to the mills, in which a freedman, an employee, was cooking dinner. Tbe circular was own? ed by J. D. Jones, Esq., and tho vortical by M?ssrs. Gantt Sc Bawls. On Friday morning last, about 4 o'clock, the dwelling and outbuildings of Mr. Henry J. Siebles, of Sandy Run, in this County, uere destroyed by fire. Wo have uot learned tho particulars. I Lexington Despatch. FIRE ON THE LISE or THE SOUTH CARO? LINA RAILROAD.-On Sunday night last a honso valued at about $G00, recently erected at Sincath's Station, for the use bf tho engineer in obargo of the pump thereat, was destroyed by fire. It was occupied by employees of tho road, who barely had timo to escape. The general impression is that it was an act of in? ce udiurism. - Charleston Courier. We have noticed with plensuro tho bold stand taken by Senator T. J. Ro? bertson in opposition to tbe Ku Klux bill, and iu favor of the amnesty bill. Congressman DeLargo, in the Honso, stands on the same platform.

Tho Prussian steamer Meteor, which bas lately been stationed at Venezuela, put into Charleston, for coal, on tho 17th. She fought tho Freuch steamer Bouvet off Havana last November, nnd came off victorious. Her loss in tho engagement was four or fivo killed, but tho damage to the vessel was trifling. Thc troubles of lifo uro like the sticks iii i bundle of faggots.
