< )LUMB?A. S. C. Tues lay Horning, August 22,1871. The financial results of the pu roh uso of the English telegraphs by the Govern? ment has been officially reported, and it appears therefrom that whilo the total amount, paid for the telegraph was ?7,500,000, the reoeipta to the Govern? ment are alreadyM?n per cent, on that sum, while the expenses are but five and a half per ceut. The profit of foar and a half per cont, is a very satisfactory one, considering the newness of the en? terprise, and it is announced ns being constantly on the increase. It is pro? posed at the earliest possible time to make the uniform price of messages to all parts of the United Kingdom six? pence, and thus more efTeotnalJy popu? larize the system. The present rates, however, are very mnoh cheaper than the lowoat ones that prevail among the private companies of the United States, and wo are led to hope that Congress, Boeing a Government telegraph system to be a profitable one, will make haste to adopt it. While we doubt the reported alli? ance between France and Bnssia against Germany, it is impossible to dose oar eyes to ' the faot that an un? wonted activity in military affairs is now manifested by tho latter, hardly explain? able upon any other basis than that of a contemplated war. Central Asia swarms with Muscovite soldiers; enlistments are being actively proseonted everywhere thronghont the Czar'u dominions; pre? parations for a vost increase of war ma? terial are nnder way, while an extensive system of fortification is being pushed rapidly forward upon the Western fron? tier. Whether this military revival has been exoitedby the jealousy of Germany, or a desire to take advantage of Frano?'e quiescence to posh forward Rassia't Eastern policy, or whether it is a more precautionary mona uro to over-awe the Poles, who have recently, .manifested signs of dissatisfaction, tho; history ol only a few months will develop.. TLu extensive nature of the preparation! under way would seem to indicate some more serions purpose than the men sham battle with which St. Petersburg is to be besieged. Probably the Czar ii profiting by the lesson afforded to tin Frenoh at Woerth, on the daoger o surprise, and means his harmless littli exhibition as the cover to a movemen more important, and some fine morninj may drop in upon "the sick man" befori Earopo is fully aware of bin intentions THE LION AT BAY.-The plucky Mayo of New York defies and spurns tho whol> kennel of dogs which have been barkinj at him incessantly for a fortnight.

MR. EDITOR: You will please publish the following extract of a letter from a lady of the highest intelligence, now at Caesar's Head. I must express my eur-' prise that the authorities of the Green? ville and Columbia Railroad have not offered the inducements of reduced rates to persons wishing to visit the delight? ful up-country retreats in the mountains of our State and North Carolina: "CESAR'S HEAD, August, 1871. "This climate and scenery are certain? ly glorious, and the Messrs. Carson are untiring in their efforts for the oomfort and amusement of their guests. Tho hotel is in a rough and unfinished state, it is true, bot we cannot complain of any very serious lack of the reasonable com? forts which we should expeot under lircilnr circumstances. It compares most favorably in every respect with Cleve? land, N. C., Glenn's, of this State, Look? out Mountain, and indeed our summer resorte generally. The company here baa not been very largo, but includes representatives from Savannah, Charles? ton, Columbia, and some ten Districts of the State. The fare is good, bounte? ous, well served, and sufficiently varied to ensure a commendable appetite. Al? ready we have upon several occasions enjoyed venison, notwithstanding the dictum of our host, (who is a celebrated Nimrod,) that no "drive" should be in? augurated before the 20th August. The sun-Bet views from the "Head" are daily increasing in magnificence and beauty, as tho rich autumnal coloring of sky be? comes more and more apparent. The "Hoad" is, of coarse, the centre of in? terest here-the point of note; but tour? ists have many other localities, the beau? ty and attraction of which onr hont is ever eager, in propria persona:, to exhi? bit. The Cold Spring, the Winds, the Great Dismal, the Jones Gap View, etc., are nome of the more adjacent points of beauty or grandeur; the more distant exp?ditions to Table Book and Cedar Mountain are likewise a part of the pro? gramme. Now, when I mention the really good music, consisting of two vio? lins and piano, by which those BO in? clined can nightly or daily "trip the light fantastic toe," and the deoently con? ducted bar-room (why must there always be a bar-room?) for tboBo spiritually in? clined, I think that I have shown that for those wishing relaxation or rest, no spot can be more favorable than Cunar's Head." REMARKABLE SPEECH RY THE Porn His HOLTNESS NOT WORN OOT NOR WEARY.-It has already bean made known that 27,000 male citizens of Rome affixed their names, with their address and occupation, to a letter to tho Pope, expressing their grief at the occupation of Rome by the Italian Government, and their anxiety to Bee the Pope restored to bis former independence. When this addresB, with its 27,000 signatures, was presented to tho Pope, the other day, he made avery remarkable speech, of which the following is a translation: Yes, it is most true, and let ns render glory to God and thanks to God for making it thus manifest that Rome has been true to herself. Heaven grant that never may it have to be said of ber: "Woe nnto thee, Ohoraizin, woo unto thoo, Bothsaida, for if the mighty things had been done in Tyre and Sidon whioh have been done in thee, they would long ugo have repented in sack cloth and ashes; therefore, it shall be moro tolera? ble in the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you." No! nover can such words apply to Rome. The spirit of honor and loyalty which hold you close bonnd to me, whioh, in the midst of overflowing evil, keeps yon in the straight path of justice with such abun? dant courage, renders you worthy sub? jects of this Holy City, empurpled with tho blood of her noble martyrs, aud ren? dered illustrious by the heroic virtue of her multitude of confessors. The good works to which you devote yourselves with so great zeal, your labors for the maintenance aud diffusion of religion, will assuredly earn for yon the blessing of God and tho applause of all men of piety, not to Bay of all the just and up? right. May God koop yon ever faithful to your good intentions, and preserve you from contamination of the evils which bave overflowed this city. With my whole affection, I pour out my bene? diction upon you and upon your fami? lies, and I bless all those who now, being out of Rome, are prevented from sub? joining their namoB os they would wish. * * * Men have said that I am worn ont and weary. True, I am weary of witnessing the iniquity, injustice and disorder around QB; I am weary of th? insults offered, doy by day, to religion in this oity, which wes wont to shine be? fore the world as an example of faith and morals; I ano weary of tho oppres? sion of the weak and innocent, of thc insults offered to ministers of tho sanc? tuary, of the profanation of objects ol our dearest veneration. * * * Of all this I am weary, in truth 1 Bot, worn out and weary in tho sonso ol being ready to surrender the cause com? mitted to mo; in the sense of being ready to compromise the struggle with injustice, and of turning back from tue pursuit of that whioh is right-in thu sense, not No, in this souse I am not weary, and, hy tho help of God, nevei shall it be Batd I became thus weary. * * * Anew, I givo yon mj benediction to bear you up in this strug? gle in which you, too, oro engaged; ano I invoke it in copious measure ou yoni families, also, und OU your substance May it bo with you through lifo, ant open for you the gates of au eternity ol joy!" **?#***< MAN DROWNED.-Sam.

DBSTBCOTITB STORM ON TBS SEA-IJOAUP, A terrible storm raged along thu Atlantic sea-coast ou Friday and Saturday, and, doubtless, many marine disasters occur? red. The Savannah Republican bas a long account of the ravages of the storm in that city and vicinity, from whioh we extract tho following: The wind commenced blowing a gale from the North-east abont 1 o'clock P. M., Friday, accompanied by deluges of rain falling in torrents without intermis? sion. The gale increased in fury, and the rain descended in floods, until be? tween ll and 12 o'olock P. M., at which time it reached its height. Tho most substantial residences facing the North wore flooded. The streets looked like one Bea, and tbe winds howled and howled again, tearing away everything exposed ta their fury, doing sn irnrnenyy amount of damage The injury sus? tained, by the public works,' in aud about the city will probably not fall short of $100,000. Tbe whole night long the winds howled and tbe rain doscouded nu though the foundations of the great deep above and below had broken up. It was tbe most fearful gale that Savannah bas experienced for many years, and in ita results has proved mero disastrous to property than the celebrated storm of September 8, 1854. The debris of fallen trees, limbs, &o., scattered all over the city, gives evidence of the force of tbe winds. Many trees have been blown down and others seriously injured. It is impossible to enumerate tho injury sus? tained to private property in the city from the unroofing of houses, blowing down of chimneys and fences, the over? flowing of cellars, &o. Tho large cotton warehouse of Dr. Clark, on tho corner of West Broad and Broughtou streets, sixty by ninety feet, and just completed, is seriously damaged, the water in tho col? lar (which is the entire area of the build? ing) being even with the flooring. Dr. Clark estimates his damage at from 810,000 to ?12,000. The injury to the crops has been im? mense, as we stated. Those planted on Springfield plantation and Lamar's, Lawton's nnd other farms in the low grounds, East, have been ruined, nnd aro now entirely under water. The damage to the rioe crop along tho river, on the Ogeeohee, &o , cannot yet bu as? certained, although we hare Been a note from the overseer to tho planter of an extensive plantation on the Savanna!? River, giving a disastrous account of the notion of the flood on the plantation settlements under water, provisions and supplies destroyed, ??c. Springfield plantation, upon which so much time, money and skill has boen spent, is com? pletely uudor water its entire length and breadth, and has the appearance of a vast inland sea. House* situated upon it have been submerged, tbe waters rushing over it with the velocity of a mill-race, scarcely leaving time for tho inhabitants, mostly negroes, to escape. Lamar's field and the adjacent lowlands, in the Eastern part of the oity, present a similar spectacle. The crops are all nuder water, aud the Bilbo Canal is over? flowed its entire length, from the sholl road to the river. What damage was done to private property, in tbe shape of injury to crops planted, wo have not been able yet to ascertain; but it must reach thousands of dollars. The canal botweon Lawton's place, or plantation, and the bridge on the Thunderbolt Shell Road, upon which the labor of the con? tractor with a large number of hands has been expended for the past two months, lias been ruined and tho whole work will have to be re-commenced. Many sewers in process of construction have been more or less damaged, involv? ing a heavy expense in ropairs. An old wooden building across tho river, belong? ing to Messrs, Krenson Sz Hawks, was blown down and severely injured two negroes who were asleep in it at tho time, the timbers cutting one in tho face and breaking some bones of the jaw, the other receiving hurts about one of his legs. THE STORM IN CHARLESTON.-The Cou? rier thus refers to tho storm iu that city on Friday aud Saturday: Ono of the severest storms which wo have experienced for years-somo per? sons say since 1857-passed over our city on Friday and Saturday. On the fore? noon of Friday lust, tho wind blew fresh from about South-east, during the day ?. changed to North-east, increasing iu forco during tho afternoon, accompanied by light rain. Soon after dark tho wind and ruin increased, the former blowing with great violence in heavy squalls, while tbe latter came down in torrents, i During Friday night and Saturday until mid-night, a heavy North-east gale pro . vailed, the wind sometimes veering . slightly to the East or North, tho rain . descending with a volume not previously i known for years. It was not unexpected, . however, as those unerring monitors, f the weather reports, foretold its ooming ? by several days, which enabled the river ? craft at least to secure safe moorings. ' In the city in man; places trees were . blown down and snapped asunder, small ; out-bouses were injured in the roofs, \ while shutters banged, and window i sashes rattled violently. The rain was i so furious that it got into every crevioc : where it contd bo forcod, and damaged . houses inside more or less. In several of thu streets large bolos were cando-in r two or three instances capacious enough ? to hold a carriage and horse. In the 1 North-eastern and North-western por r tious cf the oity lots woro flooded, and , cellars and basements filled to the depth I of several inches, and in Homo oases UG f many feet. On Saturday it poured un . couHiugly all day, nod actually interfered with tho prosecution of business; the . draymeu and carters of East Bay wore ; compelled to abandon thoir accustomed i haunts, and give their auimals thu besl I windier they could from tho merciless - (dements. In that delectable scot ion ol i thu city known ai Rottouboro, tho street* were inundated, aud tho yards and cel? lars filled to a considerable depth. Mr. Klatte, in tho North-eastern portion of the city, had some trouble in saving a pair of horses tied in hin stable, where the water had settled several 'feet. With t ie high tide and rain, the yards, vacant lots and streets, on tho : equar? lying on the Broad stroet promenade, wore 'com? pletely submerged, and'during the day an unbroken sheet of water lay in the locality as far as Franklin street. Those residents whose business called them out of doors had to get out on spring a trts and on the backs of colored men, who no e l as peripatetic ferries. That staunch brick structure, the Alms House, leaked badly, and the water whioh beat in over the windows and nuder the door Bills, rested on the lower floor, and in tho master's office many inches. A num? ber of private dwellings suffered in a like manner and were moro or less da? maged. Tho wind forced opeu the li? brary window of thc Court Hen-, thc rain poured iu and ran through to the equity room, injuring the furniture and papers to the extent of 8300. THU STORM IN FLORIDA.-Tho Jack? sonville Courier contains the following account of the storm and its effects at that point; Since Tuesday, tho wind has boen blowing from the North-east, gradually increasing m strength until it arrived, on Thursday night, to the dignity of a "gale of wind." Until Thursduy, noon, but little rain fell, aud since theu it han rained almost incessantly. Thursday night waa an anxious one to many. The howling of the wind, with the occasional snap and crack of a tree, made u wild night. Friday morning showed a scene of more or less devastation in the city, with rather an alarming prospect. Trees innumerable were prostrated during Thursday night. Tho eight-inch brick wall in front of Cooper & Jones' paint shop was blown out, demolishing the show window. Mr. Lioveridge'8 new building, of thu name style, in Ocean street, niuo in process of erection, is slightly damaged. The river mus over the new nod high sidewalks just West of the market, and Ledwith's wharf is afloat, the waves rolling in between Col. Bay's and the market. Tho water is still about a foot below the market floor. The North-east corner of Solara's Une new brick warehouse is down, aud the rest is likely to fall. Tho whole river front ts lined with debris. At the foot of Market street there are about a dozen fine row-boats stove to pieces, aud the little steamer Islander is trying to pound herself to fragments on the wharf. The bath house was. Tin roofs have suffered generally. Tho Ocean House was stripped of its tin, und John Clark's warehouse on the wharf, in tho rear of nar office, is in the same condition. The water is up to our back door, bat we don't antici? pate it will come np in the second story. The steamers have all loft the wharvas except tho "Nick Kiug," whioh remains at McCants' wharf with steam up. Business is almost entirely suspended, and citizens are collected iu groups watching the risc of the water. N. H. Walker's new brick warehouse, near tho depot, in progress of oreotion, is minus the East end. The railroad bridge over McCoy's Creek is oat of line so that the trains cannot paus. We are informed that the water at Bald? win is so duop that the trains cannot get through on account of their Ares being put out. The mill men must have suffered greatly in the loss of logs; tho water is reported to be five feet deep in their engine rooms. The da? mage to Jacksonville will be many thou? sand dollars. The damage tu shipping must bo very great. Bonus INDIAN OUTRAGES. - Several weeks since tho city of St. Joseph, Mo., was startled by an account of the cap? ture of a Government wagon train hy a party of Indians near Fort Sill, and the horrible atrocities committed upon the drivers by their savage captors. Tho story was brought to St. Joseph by a mau professing to be one of the survivors of the massacre, and his narrative was extensively copied by tho Western press. Upon investigation by proper authori? ties, it has been ascertained that no wa? gon train has ever been taken by the In? dians- near Fort Sill. The whole affair IB a fabrication, without the least foun? dation iu fact, and was probably set afloat by parties interested in transport? ing supplies through the Indian country for the purpose of frightening off com? petition. General Hazon says of the story that it is "a pure fabrication from first to last, without the least incident of fact to make it ont of." ASSUMING OFFICIAL FUNCTIONS.-Alex? ander Singleton, colored, living in tho vicinity of tho Dorchester Bond, came to tho city, yesterday, and made com? plaint at Trial Justice T. J. Maokey's oflioe, that a Maj. H. C. Irewood, who was a Federal Provost Marshal iu this oity, after the war, was hearing cases as though clothed with judicial authority to do so, and had fi nod him $20, and that other colored men had suffered in smaller amounts and penalties. On the strength of Singleton's affidavit, officer Monahau was despatched with "proper credentials" to bring tho gentleman hither to answer the charge of obtaining moue}' under false pretences. {.Charleston Courier. A BULLET IN TIIE BRAIN.-The Clinton 1 (La.) Patriot describes the case of n man, known to tho editor, who lived for six years with a ballet in his brain. His naroo was James O. Marston, a resident 1 in Clinton. Ho was a niembor of tho Fourth Louisiana, was wounded in At? lanta, Qa., July 28, 18G1, and died Juno 1 19,1870. A postmortem examination by ' Dr. Chiippin disclosed the existonce of u ; bullet embodied in the soldier'? brain. ? During a game of base ball, at Tama .

Almost every day, baDkera, brokers and merchants, or their clerks, nre being deceived and defrauded out' of large sums, as well as tbe general public, by having ii timorous couutor feit bills passed lh upon them with genuine ones. The counterfeits, 'in some instances, are so well executer^ tbat detection is almost impossible, unless very closely scruti? nized. In making inquires, it baa boon ascer? tained that counterfeit billa on tho fol? lowing banks aro being circulated: On the Merchants* National Bank of this city $20 and 85 are easily disposed of. The engraving is admirably exeouted upon first class paper, and is looked upon as being avery dangerous counter? feit. Ten dollar bills of tbe American Nutional Bank, Broadway, are freely Circulated, They are well executed, but eau be detected by the difference of the shading ol the large letters. There are two sets of counterfeits issued on the Ninth National Bank; they are $10 and 82 bills, ure well executed, und printed ou good paper, and very likely lo de 'ceivo. Ou the National Bank of the State of New York there ure also $20 und $2 counterfeits. Tbey are well exe? cuted, but the shading under tho title of "Bunk" is bud. These bills should be received with great caution to prevent imposition. There are soveral connterfeit issues of United States Treasury notes, the most prominent beiag $20 bills of March 10, 16G2. These are finely executed, the printiug and engraving being above the ordinary class, but the alluding in the buok-grouud of tho vignette is coarse. A third fraudulent plate for $10 United States Treasury uotes has just come to light, but it does not come up to tbe se? cond plate, but the imitution is good. Many imperfections of tho second pluto have also been rectified in tho new plate. There are a number of 810 United States Treasury notes of tbe second issue, so well executed that the best experts can hardly tell thc difference between the e<i u aler feit and the gouuiue. They cnn only be detected in the defective engrav? ing of the portrait of Lincoln. A large number of $50 Treasury notes, well exe? cuted, in several instances have passed as genuine. Twenty dollar bills of tho same denomination, of March 3, 1863, aro extensively circulated, the engraving being first olass and paper good. There ure also a number of $2 and $1 bills, but in these oases the engraving ia coarse, und with a little attention can easily be detected. Counterfoils of United States legal tender not?s, of $10 and $1, are quite plentiful, but as the engraving is very coarse, they are not readily accept? ed in this city. Tbe following is a list of the country notes which are also enid to be freely cir? culated at every given opportunity: $20 bills on tho First National Bank of Bos? ton, Mass. These notes are well execut? ed and printed on good paper, bat are defective on examination with the genu? ine. $20 on the Fourth National Baak of Philadelphia. The engraving in this case is very course, and can soon be de? tected by any one accustomed to band? ing paper money. $20 on the First Na? tional Bauk of Indianapolis. These notes aro well calculated to deceive, and are well printed. The plate ased can be easily altered to any nf the national cur? rency bank notes. $5 on the Peoples' National Bank, Michigan. These are poorly got up. $10 on the Farmers' aud Merchants' Bank of Poughkeepsie. These bills aro well executed and printed upon good paper, and will prove a dan? gerous counterfeit. Tho Albany City National Bank $10 counterfeit bills are also plentiful, but the engraving is very scratchy compared with tho genuine. $10 and $2 West? chester Couuty National Bank counter? feit bills are rather coarse, aud ought to be detected by tho engraved signatures. There are a number of well exeouted counterfeit uotes on the National Union Bunk, Lindorpark, Utica City National Batik, Oneida National Bauk, aud Ou? trai National Bank, for $20, $10 ami $5. In addition to these counterfeit bills, there aro a number of counterfeit gold pieces of different value, while a number of pieces have been split up aud filled with platinum.-New York Times. TrtK EVANGELISTS ABROAD.-Prince Gortscbakoff hus como to the rescue of Russian religious integrity in tho matter of tbe Evangelical Conference ut Friede ricksbnfen with a downright show of curt indignaron at tbe report' set forth by tho members of the American Alli? ance. He Bays that, instead, of giving those gentlemen tho encouraging re? sponses in behalf of oppressed Protest? antism in Russia which they seem to have put in circulation, he distiuotly told them that their mission bud the ap? pearance of interference in the domestic affairs of Russia, that he could permit no foreign intervention whatever, and that tho Russian Government could not tolerate a shadow of intervention from whatever side it came. Ho, however, condescended to aooept their address tc band to the Czar, and there his action ended. Ono of tho most terrible tragedies over onacted in Central New York occurred at East Frankfort, on Monday night. A grey-headed man, ?ixty-four years], oj age, Dyer Pangburn, murdered his wife, who was about forty-four yours old, iu tho kitchon of tboir own house, with a hoavy potato-masher, literally crushing in tho left side of her hoad so that the brain oozed out. Ho then went to a barn on tho samo premises and delibe? rately hung himself. THE WHARTON MYSTERY.-Ono suspi? cion in regard to this affair has been cleared away. Tho physician who exa? mined the stomach of Henry O. Whar? ton, ouo of tho alleged victims, reports that ho found no traces of poison. Thus tho charge against Mrs. Wharton, ol poisoning her own sou, Tulls to thc ground. Ciooal X t o m s . n-i??- ii (i /.. . ; Pu cu Nm AJ?

A few days since Alfred Gadsden and Frank Patterson, both colored) were caught stealing provisions from the ration house on the premises of Mr. C. A. Lynch, near Columbia. They at? tempted to encape, but refusing to halt when ordered to do so, one of them Alfred Gadsden-received a shot in the leg. They ?ere both finally arrested and lodged in Lexington jail. Our merchants, and others wishing to prepare fur tbs fall busiuess, will please take notice that the PHONIX office is supplied with all necessary material for as haaduocio cards, bil! beads, posters, circulars, and other printing that maybe desired, as any office in the city. Give us a call and test our work. The Southern gas generator, now in noe at the PHONIX office, is much ad? mired. It is just the thing for large es? tablishments; and in country towns is nvaluable. lt is asserted that several well-diggers, n their great desire to obtain jobs, have resorted to tko dodge of throwing dead fowls, etc., into them.
