COLUMBIA, S.' C.
?Thursday Morning, August 17,1871.
Dosccuduuts of the old families along
thu Atlantic sea-board, who dato buck
their auoestry to tbo settlement of Ame?
rica, and Iberoby assn tua a huntly ?iris hi?
ern tic distinction over less fortunato fel?
low-citizens who uro ignoruut of their
lineage, havo been thrown into a perfect
flutter of ularm und excitement ut tho
. vagaries of a London publisher, named
Hotten. This too enterprising gentle?
man has lately set himself about truoiug
up closely tho connection between thc
original American families and their
English progenitors, and publishes, as
his first instalment of tho result, tho
"Original list of persons of quality, emi?
grants and others, who wont to the Ame?
rican plantations from 1GU0-17U0." It
is expected that, in fullillnient of Mr.
Hotteu's original intention, his next vo?
lume will comprise a list of convict;! sent
to this country during tho sumo period.
It is known that during tho interval npc
oified, convicts wcro extensively colo?
nized in this country, although tho Ame?
rican histories uro judiciously silent on
this unpleasant topic. This second work
will certainly ho lookod forward to with
great interest, though wo do not envy
Air. Hotten the belaboring he is destined
to receive, as ono of tho most vicious ol
modern iconoclasts. The fires of indig?
nation will bo lighted on many a hearth,
tho New Orleaus Times thinks, now only
illumined by tho lambent flame of Puri?
tanic respectability, a general hunting
up of old tomb-stones, and au extensivo
philological ohango in nomenclature will
undoubtedly take place; but, upon the
whole, tho causo of charity and humility
will bo greatly strengthened aud beuo
fitted. _ _
NATIONAL INDUSTBIAI? EXPOSITION.
The fortieth exhibition of tho industries
of our land, to bo held by the American
Institute, in tho immense structure
bounded by Second and Third avenues
aud Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth streets,
New York, from September 7 to Novem?
ber 4, promises to bo far in advance of
anything hitherto attempted on this con?
tinent. Artists, artisans, iuventors, ma?
nufacturers, horticulturists and others,
aro rapidly forwarding their applications
for space in which to exhibit something
novel, wonderful, beautiful or useful iu
the various departments. Tho best and
mont n cent triumphs of American skilled
products, as well as tho latest aud most
approved methods of manufacture, iu
actual operation, will there bo seen at
their best. It will bc u sight that nono
should miss. The heavy machinery is
already being set iu piuco.
Two important statements havo re?
cently been made by Pnii.-? correspond?
ents: Firs', that Gambetta is planning
to supersede M. Thiers; aud, second,
that there is u very alarming slate of
things in thu French army-tho old and
tho new anny being nt swords' points
with each other. lu addition to what
correspondents have slated ou these sub?
jects, wc Hud thu folio wing remarkable
article in the Figaro:.
"Our next Cm sur after M. Thiers will
bo Gambetta, who is formed to play thc
role, and ia studying his part. Hu has
tho strong and hullo w-suu niling voice
which tells upon tho crowd and makes ti
tyrant populur. * * * Ho
hus alruudy showu himself superior to all
petty scruples of legality and justice,
aud that to attaiu tho cud he propose*
ho is not tho m in to weigh means in ?
severely moral scale. The useful is thc
only limit he places to his will. The
Latin blood runs through his veins ami
the Latin ideas reign in his thoughts
he is descended in direct lino from thc
Homans of tho empire, and has theil
domineering spirit und political in?
stincts. In a word, ho belongs to the
lino of tho Canal's, und has in him thc
stuff of aconsummuto dictator. A mat
of authority, ho.cares naught for liber
ties, and it is on tho people that in
will found bis power.
"His partisans aro ulrendy found, mit
tho parti' is formed. It includes, firs
of all, tho chiefs appointed by Gumbut
ta, tho olliccr.-i who broke their parole
considering that it would bo better t<
prolong a useless resistance than lo ob
servo their oath, and I hose officers who
having obtained high grades, can oul,j
hope to keep them on tho condition o
Gambetta seizing power. * *
Tho conspiracy is hoing hatched nude
our eyes slowly aud prudently, as ?
good conspiracy which desires to HUCCCOI
should bo hatched. Conspiracies in tin
dark aro not dangerous, but what w<
havo to fear are thoso carried on in tin
broad daylight, liko that of tho 2J o
Doeembor. Tho Ciosar promised to ou

febrile, but he can bo as tame as a land

lates, weighs and waits. Ho calculate
how many days tho authority of M
Thiers can exist; ho weighs tho value ci
tho Assembly in caso of a conflict; mn
ho remains silent, so thal people may te

CAUTEKSVILLE, GA., August ID.
Mu. EDITOR: Many portions of this
beautiful section of Georgia havo been
settled up by South Carolinians. You
eau scarcely go amiss hore to find men
well versed iu the historical past of our
Slate, aud they all speak of her with
filial affection; but nouo of them seem
disposed to exchange this couutry for
their former houses, nor for uuy other
cuuntry. Yet, it does not seem to mo
that they are tbriviug. No part of tho
South was moro thoroughly devastated
during tho war, scarcely a homo beiug
left in mauy places for miles in every
direction. But recupcraliou is a slow
process, moro so tbau in a cotton coun?
try. For instance, stock raising, and
especially cattle raising, is ouo of their
sources of revenuo, and most, if not all,
of this sleek lias to be bred and grown
upon tho plantations, as they havo no
source whence to draw thom. Cattle
brought here from beyond tho moun?
tains will not live, und Ibero is not South
of this any cattle nursery. Heucu recu?
peration is slow.
This year, the drought has been unu?
sually severo overywhoro iu this section.
Lauds that ordinarily* yield forty to fifty
bushels of corn per acre, will not make
ton. Indeed, I havo seen fields which,
if set fire to, would bum. Tho corn-stalks
aro yellow to tho tassel. Tho wlieut
crops, too, usually eo fine, were more
than a failure. Ouo farmer told mo bo
sowed sixteen bushels, and harvested
eleven; another thirty, and did not make
a bushel; another IOU, aud harvested ten.
Aud those were almost specimen cropB.
Rust ruiued their crops most thoroughly
and completely. Every farmer now is
huutiug rust-proof wheat. Gov. Browu
slated in tho Homo Convention that tho
Mediterranean bearded wheat is a rust?
proof graiu. Though rust ruiued tho
wheat crop in South Caroliua, I would
not advise, tho planting of tho above
wheat, for my experience is, it makes a
bluish, clammy, second quality flour.
Clover and all tho grusses grow well in
North-western Georgia; and theso aro
the crops to wbioh the farmers must re?
sort to replenish their ompty purses.
When they do, I can understand why
their landa should command high prices;
but, at present, I cannot conceive why
existing prices aro not fictitious, for
some of them aro fabulous. I have seen
farms that would bo considered doing
well to averago a crop of thirty bushels
of corn per aero, or 800 to 1,0110 pounds
of cotton; and yet those farms command
readily from $25 to $50 pur aero, includ?
ing all arublc and forest lands. Why is
it that lauds of equal fertility, of no less
intrinsic value, and equally healthy lo?
calities, do not command such figures iu
South Carolina? Is it because wu aru
benighted or Africanized, or is it because
wo havo become so far demoralized na
not to properly appreciate our dear old
homes? I fear tho last is tho potent rea
sou. Nu butter homes can bo found in
the South than in South Carolina, and
btill our people seem cvur willing to ex?
change thom for homes elsewhere. Such
cosmopolitan notions should ho discou?
raged; uud if our discontented citizens
would only uso tho precaution to "look
bofor? tlliiy leap," visit tho humus of
others, seo tho wants and trials of other
sections apparently more desiruble, 1
am sure they would be less migratory
und moro content with South Caroliua,
dowu-lrudde.u bj' vagabondism as sho is.
There is a species of go-uheadalive?
ness in the State of Georgia and bei
people which is admirable, aud this \ir
tue, if it ho ono, actuates her planters;
but I du not think they havo sub.-tauti
ally surpassed the planters of South Ca?
rolina iu agricultural successes. Theil
net euruiugs aro no larger, their lossei
aro as heavy, their expenses arc gloater
their habits aro no muru economical
their lands are no moro foil ile, and ye
their lands command a better price
especially iu this Northern und North
western Georgia. This condition o
things existed before the war, and it ey
isis yet. Why is it? Another thing
When a Carolinian crosses the Savun
uah, ho becomes oblivious of curren
uews from tho Stale, if dependent npoi
South Carolina newspapers. In Atlant:
I found amongst the exchanges of tin
Constitution, tho Courier, tho PnuiNi:
and tho Anderson Intelligencer, but hav
uowhero else been nblo to seo a newspa
per from home. Twelve months or mor
ugo, when traveling over the West, I ob
served tho samo thing. Is not this
lack of eutorpriso with our editors, am
would not such an exchange bo advisii
hie? These Southern and Bon th-wester:
people aro identical with "ourselves; thm
interests aro our interests; their govern
ment is* our government-, nod I heir disec
tluallment will bo our freedom; Thou
should our newspapers not encourage
friendly exchange, and often re-pablis
matters of local interest clipped froi
each other's columns? Truly, A.
Tho riut in Dublin, during the visit i
the lioyul fan? i ly, proves to'bavo been
much moro serious affair than wo wer
led to suppose by the telegraphic di

Irish people, and ut ono timo tho moi
intenso iiuxiet}' for tho safety of til
lioyul visitors was experienced in Loi
don. Tho program mo was only hu
completed, and tho party left I rolan
under a strong and formidable milit?t
and pol iou escort. Tho vis-it having bee
projected and undertaken as a pacific,
tory mr-iunre, its lamentable, not to en
inglorious failure, will certainly hcightc
thc resentment already existing; Icnviii
the prospect of future peaco and lin
mony more cheerless and unpromtsili

A Detrclive Story-All a. Mlsmkc.
Tho BOB to u Traveller tells the follow?

"Homo yenrs nineo a gentleman stop?
ping ab ono of the hotels in Washington,
D. 0., (who unon this occasion will be
oallod Brown,) sont a letter from the ho
tol to hit) wife, in New York, containing
$50. Tho lotter was not received, and
Mr. Brown visited tho Post Office De?
partment to make a oomplaiut. In duo
titno u cuso was made out nud placed in
tho hands of a well known and experi?
enced del colive, whom for this occasion
wo will designate as Seekeui. After put
ling HUH ninl that together, Seekem came
to tho conclusion that tho clerk uf tho
hotel was thu guilty party, und proceed?
ed lo demonstrate his convictions. With
this object in view, lie prepared a couple
of deenya for tho young mini's benefit.
Ltd tera from tho hotel were forwarded
to thu post office morning und nftt moon;
so b'eekein first went to work on the
morning mail, but his decoys tu rued np

Soekern thou started on another truck.
He gave about $50 (bogil*) to Mr. Brown
und persuaded him to write to Mrs.
Brown, enclosing tho money, mid leave
tho rest to him. Tho letter wus written
in avery conspicuous pince, nt u diuing
tublo ut the kotolr it being .so arranged
that nu one should see him write tho let?
ter except tim suspected individual, who
wus called upon to furnish paper and nu
envelope. Mr. Brown remarked tu the
clerk, thnt. ns Mrs. B. did nut get his
last remittance, he must send her some
moro, ut the sumo time denouncing post
offices in general ami thu Washington
office in pur lieu I ar, where, he said, he
lind no doubt his money had disap?
peared.
Tho loiters from the hotel weiro re?
ceived afc llie Washington office, mid
there was uo letter for Mr. Brown, of
Fifth Aveuue, New York. Scokem was
greatly eluted, feeling sure that he hud
at hint entrapped tile suspected thief,
lio wont carefully through tho Washing?

was uo mistake. Tho letter, however,
could not bo found. Hoven o'clock that
evouing found t?eekem at the hotel, iu
consultation with thu proprietor und Mr.
Brown. ?t wus determined to arrest thc
suiipectetl clerk at once. The supposed
culprit was culled up. lie denied al
knowledge of the nlTuir, nud Seeketu
was compelled to abandon the job fur UK

Nothing more was known ?bon!
Brown's letter until three days after
wards, wbeu Brown himself entered tin
post office, iu a vory excited state ol

A TKnninrn: Finn is HOUUY.-Tho
moBt fearful fire, threatening tho de?

any fire that has evor been known in

Milla, on last Friday. The mills are
situated ou a t-?nguo of laud, between
a large lake and tho main river. On the
North side, thero is an extended bank of
Raw-dust that hos been accumulating
for years. Upon this saw-dust, some
bauds had been engaged iu burning
slabs and waste stuff. At 12 o'clock, tho
bell rang fur dinner, all bands knocked
off, and no oue was left iu cburgo of tho
tire. lu u few minutes, the wind sprung
lip, and whiffled round BO as to drive
the sparks aud flames toward the mill.
The tiro rau over tho surface of saw-dust
like n race horse, aud when the immense
volume of black smoko gave warniug, it
hail made its way to a lurge pile of blabs
and rcfuhii stuff' in immediate contact
willi the mill; hero it wugcd with redou?

saving thu property seized every one who
beheld tho devouring flumes; luckily,
ttiere was attached tu tho mill a signal
whistle, tho signal of distress was given,
and the neighbors for n distance of over
four miles in every direction, were
quickly gathered to tho lire; here all,
