'H?$$& M?ni?ig, May 5,1871., ? . vsp^oat or^toci?.Owfi^^w?tv* >' ^ I ,:TheNow York TWiune not long'iago announced its purpose to send ita own -?orrespondents South,in order to obtain; sn ph a! view of tho real stn tq of jlhiqgfl in ' these parts cs it could rely upon. One ol these correspondents hus written a Mtier to the Tribune, oonoeived in n can? did spirit and recognizing the evils whibh afflict the State. Thia correspondent .says: ? "South Carolina may be regarded as the typical Southern St?to. H?re the Southern idea was most folly developed, and here the change tb the Northern system of government ' and society is most radical, and is attended by the greatest r?sistance. The only wonder is that this change has been, accompanied by so little violence, when it is consider? ed that no civilized community ever un? derwent BO sadden and thorough a revo? lution in all its social, industrial and political relations." Then, after giving a statement of the. state of affairs that he observed, the cor? respondent obsorves: i "It would bo hard to imagine a state of - -Bociety more entirely unfitted for a Be publican form of . government : than this. The intelligent people of the Stute have no voice in publia affairs, and no influ? ence in the government, and are obliged; lo cub tait to tho rulo of a clues, just re? leased fr pm . slavery, and in?ornpotent, withoirf? guidance, to? exercise the sim? plest duties of citizenship. This 1 co nd i - tion of affaire ia BO i on wholesome and: nnnatnral, and RO fruitful pf. eV^!,.that!it la clcjir, thftt it cannot loot." >. " /, .'-HeiaJdds: :. ' "I havo opokon of white men and ne? gro og, instead of using, the names ot po? litical parties,' because practically party lines aro -^co lines. ? in South' Carolina; the white laen make one party, and tho .negroes another; '. tho humber "of white men who have joined the lafi?r being too small to bo worth considering. Th aro are scarcely a dozen native white men who axe Republicans from .-any other motive than greod for offioe, and, With a few highly honorable exceptions,. the Northern men who .have como boro aro unscrupulous adventurers'^- - The feeling ' of the white s men i was! bitter enough -after the cleo lion, but i tr has been grow? ing worao over sino o. /It. was f o rind that the now Legislature, which...mot in tho winter, waa more corrupt than itu prede? cessor. Leadi o g Repa biionos here tell mo that 1 it waa notoriously inoompetotit and profligate. Eighty of tho ^mem? bers of. theN Ho na o on d 11 of the 31 ? S c - natoris were; negroes. Many con ld not read or write. These negroes, Ignorant of:'all tho forms of legia?at?on, -could have don a bub little holm, h?cHi nb t been .lor.a few white members, who.concocted mischief and initiated, them into their schemes, telling those who; had eomo Bora pies that it was' tho'COB tom of mern: bora of all Legislatures to make money outside ol their salaries. '*. '?"_'" c These ?ard but p, few er^tra-opa from a long letter which bears testimony to the flagrant: abus?s that have* prevailed'in the State. Let the Northern public ob? serve this. No Domooraiic bias bora The writer is the special correspondent ol the New York Trib une. The World says: "We ask attention to a oopiotre extract from a South Carolina letter from: its 'apecUl cor respondun t' printed, in the Tribune yesterday. Do consider the value of this evidence. If lt -had come ?rom n Democratic source,' the writer might be suspected bf exaggeration and false coloring. But tho bias of a Tribune correspondent is ail the other way. It is ? hot in his .cbmmissidn to refute and explode the accusations which fill the oditorfal' columns of -the sam? paper. Tho fact that he does sb is a triumph bf truth and honesty over prejudice and party interest. His testimony is valua? ble, because it cannot be suspected that bo has overcharged the piotnrei He had every temptation to soi ton and mitigate. . But he meant to be honest, and. hus not sunk the observer in the partisan.'' It is upon the basis of these admis? sions of the Tribune's correspondent that the New York World-mistaking, however, the day for tho meeting of the May Convention-makes the following just observations as respects the signifi? cance of the proposed convention. The World takes tho view that we have be? fore suggested. The World says: "To-day, a convention representing the wealth, intelligence and social re npectability of South Carolina asuombiet at Columbia, to consider tho condition ol the State, and, if possible, to devise peacoful remedies for the intolerable evils under whioh the State groans and Buffers. Such a peaceful assemblage ol representative citizens in the State whioh has greater reason than any other to rae the consequences of Radical reconstruc? tion, deserves, and ought to command, the respectful attention of tho whole country. It is a conspicuous 'proof ol the moderation? good sense, soli-corn mond and genuine loyalty of Southern citizen s ander eire urns tances of intolera? ble, provocation. .-.^hat does this convention of South Carolina citizens prove? Why, it proves that'the accusations so prof ashly made and co loudly trumpeted against the law abiding disposition of the South are in? jurio us cala mn iea. It proves that the Swnera of property do not seek rodrese y acts of violence, as is falsely charged, bat by methods which Sro entirely con? sistent with the highest standards , ol morai right. The right of the Deoolo tc peaceably assemble and consult wi th ead; other oh their' grievances is guaranteed by the oonatitattom ^NcUhtpg^ could ^be viol?ncV and vtaid-iigjlt pSaWnBiionfi whioh ?ro dospribod -t^. th o radical ?ra? tors ami journals aa' tfie'ohosfoi remediea of the?

Correspondence of tike Phoenix. m ' GREKNVuCiLBr S. C.,' iguy 1, 1871. Late this afternoon, a serious fracas .occurred, commencing in, the store bf a prominent merchant. Oh?

"I probably : have aa good means of information OB most persons in regard to what is called the Ku Klux, and am perfectly satisfied that the thing is greatly over-estimated; and if tho Ku Klux bills were kept out of Congress and tho army kept at their legitimate duties, there are enough good and true men in all Southern States to put down all Ku Klux or other bands of maraud? ers."-General Sherman, The above is prin ted in the Now York Herald, of May 2, in SMALL CAPITALS, in a half dozen places.

ELIZA BACON.-This venerable and beloved lady-one of the most widely known womeu in South Ca? rolina-who, from her early womanhood, has been so prominent in the social life and history of Edgefield, departed this life, at her old home in our midst, on Friday night last, at the unusually ad? vanced age of ninety-one years. {Edgefteki Advertiser. On and after tho first of July next, Yorkvillo will be a money order offioe. great break. . Nineteen miles from tbo city, at Fairview ' plantation, was din covered the'firet''intimation that the Father of Waters bad broken the bounds of bis bbnflnemont, forfar back could bo seen a stretch of the watery element, ex? tending beyond the reach of the eye io one direction, nod swallowed by tbe woods in another. Tbo distance of this second stream from the river varied ns we progressed, nt times three-fourths of a mile distant, andu gain but a few yards. When within about five miles of the cre? vasse we caine npon what was apparently a valuable plantation, but now covered by water to tho depth of ten feet; sugar house, negro quarters, dwelling-house, all standing in the midst of the wild water, presented a desolate picture sad? dening to behold. Aa we advanced, -the wilderness of waters seemed to spread, until rounding a bend in the river, the mighty rush and roar was before ns in all its grandeur. Quickly landing, a tour";of observation Boon convinced us that .the sight presented mast be seen to bo fully understood. The levee at Bon? net Carre in very high, . perhaps twelve feet or more, and extends for several miles ap and down at the same altitude. Stand on the' -broken edge of the levee, one can gaze down upon the huge vo? lume of water os it rushes through a gap 1,200 feet wide, foaming and seething, while its angry roar impresses a sense of fear upon the listener. ' Very near the break is a1 small collection of houses, back of them plantations, and still far? ther removed long lines of forest; over and through all tho flood pours with a resistless force, rushing up and down the country as fiercely as if in search of something npon which to satisfy its vengeance. From, the village all light and life have , fled, and the deserted houses, with their open doors; told too truly the painful story. We were in? formed by Mr. Hatch, assistant State engineer, that tho current of tho water rushing through the break ia fully eight milos an hour, and that on Thursday about fifty additional, feet of the levee had been washed off, although0 tho day previous about 200 feet gave way. It needs no second view to convince the beholder that no mortal power.can arrest the flow of the water, bat there is em? ployed a large force of laborers, who are engaged in constructing, bulkheads, the purposes of which are to prevent further damage to. tho :leveei: The unfortunate cooper, to whom fa attributed the direful mishap, hos evidently taken unto him? self wings. . His aforetime cooper-shop is now made to do duty asa hotel for the sons of .toil! engaged upon tho' works, and happening, as we did, to look in at supper time, we were particularly struck by the reflection that the amount ; of provisions, that orowd could consume in one short day "would be fearful to Bee." No " words eau obnvey the desolate ap? pearance of the village of Bonnet Carre, abandoned, as it ia, to the watery waste, which covers, as with a. garment, the once plenesnfc spot. '? When tho people Will again be permitted to return to their homes, is a matter ? only of conjecture', far even after the water shall have ceased to flow from the river, the flood will re? quire many days to subside. -In Borne places the water is twelve feet deep, reaching beyond the second story of many houses. We were informed by a gentleman residing near the flooded sec? tion, that when the unfortunate cooper discovered tho water in the river rising tb:tho .'lovel-of: hiB'-' roadway in the gap through the levee, ho placed a board across it tolbar- old Mudie Sepe out. When tho board.wau no longer useful, and the water continued to noe, several of the inhabitants: near hit upon the happy expedient of barricading the cre? vasse with an bid' flat-boat, but Uko the formal people bf '- Pottsville, they dis? puted about .the manner of placing it; while thus engaged, the object of their solicitude was. captured by the raging element and swept through tho break like tho blinding lightning. What was done after that was just what had been done,.and tho result is what we know. Had the maker of'barrels but remem? bered the little story about tho acorns and oaks, tho oitizens of Bonnet Carre might still be in the possession of their once happy homes, and the crevasse not a nine days' sensation. [Aeifl Orleans Times. ' NEW ORLEANS TRAVEL NORTH.-On Monday last, the Chattanooga and Me? ridian Railroad (Georgia) was opened ita entire length. About tho middle of this month a train of six sleeping cars, ono hotel dining car and scaled baggage car will leave New Orleans every Saturday evening, to run through without chango to Now York in fifty-eight hours. They follow tho Louisville and Pittsburg line of rail. ACCIDENTAL FIRE.-We learn that tho residence of Mr. David B. Scoggins, in the neighborhood of Beersheba Church, in this County, was accidentally de? stroyed by fire about 10 o'clock on Sun? day night last. Mr. Scoggins saved only a part of his farnituro and efifeob?. The total loss, inolading the building, is supposed to be about $1,500. \ Yorkville Enquirer, The body of a well known colored drayman in Charleston, named Robert Myers, was . recovered on Sullivan's Isl? and a few days ago. He had gone fish? ing with two other men, When, as is sup? posed, the boat upset. Nothing baa been hoard of his companions. Kossuth has fallen heir to a wind-fall in the shape of a legacy from a rich rela? tion. ?P?mrxi- TRBAJS?BKB'B DEFAMATION. D?ring a xeoaut.yiaJi, .to Columbia, we WeVo enabled, through the kindness of Attar noy-Gon?ral Chamberlain. to ascer? tain tome faotagwith renard td the r?couj defalcation ofjjp. M. Rose^, lato ?>Trea Burer of thia County. 'Tho amount doe to, the Statins ^I%tW).8?r->?Mblr iff-, eludes $2,700 collected from the Char? lotte, Columbia nnd Augusta Railroad Company, received by him through the express company, but for which no entry is made, on the books. The defalcation to the 'County is supposed to be quite small, if it ia anything at" all, as we are informed.-.that as the. taxes vero being collected Rose paid all "County ordera" which were presented to him without re? gard to whether he had money in his hands belonging to the County or not. In addition to this, about $2,000 were found in the Treasurer's office after bis departure. In this connection, it is due the Stnto Auditor to state - that immediately on learning of tho defalcation, and the pro? bability of Rose's presence in Columbia, whither ho .went after leaving Yorkville, ho took out warrants for Rose's arreBt and placed them in the hands of the btate constables and detectives, but no arrest has yet been ;mado. Rumors aie current to the effect that Roso has left the country, and is at present domiciled in Canada. So far as we know, no re? ward has been offered for his arrest. The Attorney-General has directed Solicitor Brawley to commeuoo suits against the bondsmen-Messrs. J. L. Watson, of York, and. W. E. Rose and JameB Windsor, of Columbia-at the next term of tho Circuit Court. . [Ybrkoille J-.nquirei'. . .

The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendi? ary. Mr. Craiu had insurance of $2,500. A brave girl, the daughter of John Fields, of St. Albans, Vt., entered her father's burning barn last, week,, and while the fire wns dropping upon her head, huming it to a blister, released several bend of cattle and four horses.
