Lincoln j Hali ..speech of tho Soh?b?rn situation, .the persia ton t Demoaratinnut cry against-"th? oar pet-baggers'-their hypocrisy,'their venality, rapacity, &o.^r olaTnied attention. No statement of the Southern problem would be complete or candid wbioh ignored this complaint. 'Oarpet-bi.g' villainy was often urged as the provocation and excuso of Kn Klux atrocity. Did suqh villainy exist r If so, what was ita uufcitVo and extent? j { '.V,Wve onsweredlu?se questions frank? ly and truthfully. All thoso stigmatized as 'carpet baggers* are not rascals; many of yhem are worthy, upright men, who are obnoxious to the old plan tip g aristo? cracy and its satellites, Only because they are earaest, efficient Republicans. If'they would .support abd . vote the Democratic ticket they would not be ac? counted 'carpet-baggers' at all, though frosh from New England or Ohio. ' But there ate 'curpot-baggern' who are knaves and hypocrites-who? making loud pro? fessions of zeal for Republican ascend? ancy and negro on franchise m eut and elevation, are mainly intent ou filling their own, pookets from the spoil of an impoverished, unthrifty people. And this kind of 'carpet-baggers' bavo been prominent and powerful in the legisla? tion and administration of several So it th? orn States, as their bloated public ex? penditure, taxation, and indebteduess abundantly; deplorably attest. Such is the naked trdtb, exaggerated, avery naturally, by partisan hostility und bit? terness, .but bud enough when reduced to its 'real dimensions. Tbis rapacity has embittered tho'ox-rebels, who were .bitter enough already, and too willing to believe that every Republican was, of course; a oanting knave. It has alienat? ed and repelled' many who would have been Republioans ere this,bad tho new Stnto governments beens thoroughly up? right and frugal, h? it was imperative, un many nooount?,'that' they 'should 'have boen. It has impeded reconstruction, and is this day the chief impediment ? to the triumph of Republican principles at .the Sooth.- So wc said ip substance in our Lincoln Holl speech, and every in iolligont person ib'. tho reconstructed Sktef.k'plows' i?'.to'vb?i' Substantially true;' .

'''The preponderance of Protest? antism in thia country is so enormoua that? it may, in a certain sense-,' be called a Protestant Cdtjntry: Hut religious liberty is one of th"eJf?w_franch?HeB still left tra, and that ought to be scoured, not only theoretically, but practically. To this end, a spirit of toleration and charity should be cultivated by Chris? tians of ali d?nominations.

A MODBTJ COMMUNITY.-A thoroughly peaceable country io the North-western section of this' State. At the recent ' n,, 11 :. i I - . . I : ?: term in Oconeo County tho Court of OeneraljSessions bad scarcely anything whatever to do. Only three indictments worn' tidied, resulting in tho conviction of one person of assault and battery. Com? menting on thia' fact, the Walhalla Cou? rier says: "A population of 12,000 souls, scat? tered over a wide aroa, could scarcely havo behaved better, !? put on their best conduct1. This, however, baa boen the proud record of . tho citizens of our County for many successive courts.

S Striking instance of the hasty, care? less business habits of our people is af? forded io the faot that during the month of Juno more than 338,000 letters, mis? directed or otherwise not deliverable, were received at the dead letter office in Washington ? of these 11,700 contained mouey checks, receipt?; drafts, or other documents of value. - At a seance on the 20th. Of May, it is stated, the Commune Of Puris, amidst: violent altercations, officially resolved to burn the city. Delescluze closed the dis? cussion by remarking, with a fino dash of antithesis, that if they could not pre? servo liberty, they could at least secure her splendid obsequies. Flits ON JAMES ISLAND.-There was a large fire on James Island, in a South? westerly direction from Surdy's Milla, Sunday afternoon,- which lasted for hours, Bending forth-immense volumes of smoke, clouding tho horizon. It had the appearnnce of being in a dense wood. RESULTS OF THE COMMUNIST CONFLICT. A New York World letter says thal* in the sappression of the Paris Commune 30,000 persons wore slaughtered, includ? ing 6,000 women nod children. 90,000 prisoners were takeo, and the police are looking for 50,000 moro. A young lady thought it would be in? teresting to faint atan eveniogparty, re? cently, when one of tbe company began bathing her head with vinegar; upon which sha started up and exclaimed: "L'or goodness sake, put nothing on that will spoil the color of my hair I" Tho famine in Persia is so dreadful that the Mohammedans are compelled to eat tho followers of Zoroaster lo save themselves from starvation. They cook them up in various shapes-and tims at once gratify their appolitus and extermi? nate the infidels. Thus speaks tho Memphis Avalanche, of its favorito eui'oidist: "Eight times did this courier of tho grim monarch's icy embrace attempt to cross tbe Styx through the medium of the Mississippi. She ia a good woman-for items." Tho Raleigh Telegram defends the last Legislature on the Charge that they were of intemperate habits, 'and' says that "scores of them uever took a drink dur? ing the whole session-except when somebody elso treated." A email son of John Casteon, of Cape Fear Township, N. C., accidentally killed himself with his father's gnu, whilo tho latter was out of tho house, last Wednesday. A German, named Heury Bartling, committed suicide ilk a police station, in Rieh mo n d, Va., on tho uightof tho 22d. Notice. A 1,1, persons having claims against thc late ?X. WM. W.

In snob a caso, it must tra? verse a largo, populous aud wealthy seo tiou of our District, and pass through our town. But tho route from Columbia to Augusta, South of the Charlotte, Co? lumbia and Augusta Railroad, running principally through Lexington District, is considerably shorter, and moro direct than that on the North side, while ut the same time it passes through a much moro marshy country, and wonld have to cross almost innumerable streams Yet, perhaps, notwithstanding the marshes and streams, its superior short? ness would give it the preference over tho North sido route. And under these circumstances, what should Edgefield do? Sho should rise at onco aud make the new road such un offer as would se? cure tba North side route. Pledge her? self for, say, from 850,000 to S75.000, or more if necessary. And, further, rep? resent to the authorities of thu new road tho advantages of tho North side route, for we really believe-without having bud timo or opportunity to give tho mat? ter serious investigation-that these ad I vantages aro numerous and superior. Besides tho inhabitants of the town of Edgefield, tho people of tho Mt. Williog section, of the Richardson vi ?lo section, of tho Allen section, of the Smyly aeo tiou, of the Nicholson suction, and of u certain section between this and An? gust??, should all, it appears to us, feel tito deepest interest in this important mutter.
