COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday rooming, August 26, 1871. THE NEGROES TO BE BULLIED.-Ob? serving the signs of the times, which in? dicate that the negro is no longer to bo cheated by Radical adventurers and mendicants, the American Union, at Ma? con, gives the following threatening in? timation to tho race: "If he (tho negro) cannot, by this time, appreciate the friends that made him freo and a oitizen, it is timo they formed against him and made him feel bis insignificance." So, the colorod people of the South will take duo notico. Tho Radicals pa? tronize thom only so long as they voto the Radical tickst and help to put mean white Radicals into offioo. When they oeaso to do this, they are to bo warred upon and made to feel their "insignifl oanoo." Tiiif} is just what the Demo? crats havo been tolling the negroes all along-that the Radicals bad not tho slightest use or affection for thom ex? cept so far as they would help Radicals to rob tba public treasury. Tho cxtraot from the Union is tantamount to a con? fession of the fact. TUE COREAN AFFAIR.-We havo pub? lished the accounts of the affair of Ad? miral Rodger's float with the Corouus, which seem to show that tho military operations woro successful, at a very in? considerable expenso of lifo to the at? tacking force. In tho official despatches we are told that tho object of tho expe? dition was to get satisfaction for the out? rages upon the crew of tho General Sherman, and to negotiate a treaty with tile Ooreans which should insure the safety of our sailors shipwrecked upon this unfriendly shoro in future. The treaty part, however, would seem still to remain in aboyanco, as, having destroyed a few forts, the fleet will wait nntil fur? ther orders are received from Washing? ton. If the matter rests where it stands, it is difficult to see the advantage of the fight. But to march through the inte? rior to the capital, which would bo the only effectual way to bring the Coreant to terms, would be a costly business. Il is a perplexing question how to doa! with distinot "outside barbarians" ir regard to outrages upon persons anc property. We find it no easy matter tc chastise oven the Indians within our owi borders for similar offences. But whet it comes to taking in hand an island 01 the East coast of Asia, with a popula tion of ten to twolve millions, we ma; well doubt whether it will ptiy. It i now proposed, however, as two or thre British and German subjects bnvo als been captured on tho coast of Goren and carried into tho interior, that thos powers shalTalso join in au invasion c the country, and march to its capital, n did the united French and English force upon Fekiu, in China, in 1807, to re dress some local outrages upon their eil izeus, und which, after defeating th Ghineso at every point, till within niuet miles of the capital, resulted in the foi mation of the trenty of Tiou-tsiu, gran ing many new privileges nnd openin various addi t ion ul ports. But it is know that in spite of that treaty, na well i tho much-vaunted mission sinco of M Burlingame, tho Chinese policy of ma sacro of Christians aud exclusion of ou side barbarians is about as successful i ever at this time. They aro enforeir very restrictive requirements in regai to foreign residents, Sec., in direct opp sition to the existing treaties, and bu fling tho groat "civilized nations" wil n dexterity which seems to indicate ho impotent are physical forces for any pe manent results against the subtlo pow of ancient finesse and exclusiveness. < ? ? > CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OF TI HOUSE OF ROTUSOIIILD.-Tho Rothschi family, says tho Pari3 Constitutione!, about to celebrate the centenary of tl banking house to which it owes its fe tuno. The firm was established Frankfort in 1771, by Meyer-Anseli Being left nn orphan, he obtained et ployment in a bank at Hanover, and 1 bis industry and economy Buooeeded amassing a little capital, with which ! founded his own establishment. In 18 be was appointed ngent for tho Sleet of Hesse, whoso fortune bo saved, at t risk of his own, when the French arc entered that State. For that service t ?

GLENN SPRINGS, August 23, 1871. DEAR PHONIX: "We would remind your numer?os readors in Columbia and tbe up-oonntry tbat tbo old Saratoga of tho South, Glenn Springs, is still tho same old delightful place to spend a month, or n seaBon, that it ever was. The waters possess the same healing proper? ties os they did of yore, and invalids are drinking in health and long lifo every day. Many marvellous cures have been effootcd by the UBO of those waters, as they appear to euro almost every com? plaint to which tho human system is heir, excepting consomption. The season will not oloso for nearly two mouths yet, so there is ample time for the sick and thu utllicted to become strong and healthy befo?e winter comes. Let them pack up at ouco and come here in prefereuco to going to fashionable resorts, whuro there aro no healing Bprings, and they will havo cauBO to rejoice forever after. But this is a delightful place, not only for invalids but for woll peuple, also, as the hotel affords every innocent amuse? ment for their pastimo and happiness. What with ono or two hops every week, billiard and bagatelle tablea, bowling alleys, croquet, music nud conversation, the timo passes away very pleasantly. Tho proprietor, Mr. W. D. Fowler, is striving to make all bis guests comforta? ble, while his obarges are quite mode? rate-scarcely exceeding Si a day. Fami? lies can bo supplied with cottages where they cnn keep house ns cheaply us at home, if they desire to. Just whisper into tho oars of some of your beautiful young lady readers the faot that there is, at present, a surplus of young gentlemen here. Several gay and festive youths would be made happy if 'a few more captivating belles could bo added to the numbor already here. In the Northern wateriug pinces the number f young ladies is largely in excess of the gentlemen, leaving many of the former without attendants. Hero it is ot so, and tho ladies will be sure of a warm welcome. The number of arrivals thus far, this season, has been over 150-some coming and Bomo going all the time. There if still room fur many more. TUE AIKEN PREMIUM LAND SALE. Tho following satisfactory letter fron: Mr. J. C. Derby, tho general manage] of the Aiken Premium Land Sale, v printed in the last issue of the Edgcfioli Advertiser: AUGUSTA, GA., AngtiBt ll. 1871. To the Editor of the Edgefield Advertiser DEAR SIR: A friend has called my at tention to an editorial in your issue o the 10th instant, with the beading "Get ting Anxious," the burden of which i the complaint of one of your good citi zeus that he had invested five dollars ii the "Aiken Premium Land Sale," whicl was to have been distributed last winte to the share-holders, and further" ( quote) "Mr. D. is selling all the frui from the magnificent 'Derby Farm,' an pocketing the prooeeds," ?tc, Sec. Now in reply, I bog to state that no ono ca possibly be more anxious than mysel to havo the drawing take place. Th fault lies with the publio, more thau m3 self, that the distribution of tho prizi bas not takon place long ago. None < the reasonable sbaro-holders-and the represent every State in tho Uuiou would advise a drawing with less tba one-half of tho shares sold. Thoro ni several reasons, which to any reflectiu person are patent enough, aside fru? the extremely depressed state of bus ness throughout the country, which bin delayed tho drawing; among others, tl political situation of the Stato, and Ll unjust and false reports of "Ku Klux which, for partisan purposes, aro sprer broadcast throughout tho North ai: West. And then, ngain, othor schein of a similar nature, and on a larger soul springing up soon after my modest c terpriso was made publia, has served divert attention, to Bay tho least. Tho "Aiken Premium Land Salo" w inaugurated with the purest motives, ai for the purpose of inducing actual st tiers to locate in the vieiuily of th town, so famous for its healthy surronu inga und incomparable climate. The drawing is now positively set f November 30th next, whon I trust yo "unxious" citizen may be ono of t lucky ones, who receive prizes. But, the samo timo, before he makes chargi through such a potent powor na t press, will ho not read the pamphlet s< tiug forth tho whole scheme, (which sent to nil share-holders and agent wherein ho will find (page 8) that t property is to be distributed, "oxcepti the growing crops, which are reaerv by tho proprietor." Respectfully, you J. 0. DERBY, Genornl Mauager. RESIGNATION OP TUE REV. W. P.

Tlie Tax on Cotton-An Extension of Time ii tin At a special meeting of the Chamber 1 of Oommorce, held on the 28th ultimo, a committee of five was ordered to be ap? pointed wbo should memorialize the Treasury Department, in order to obtnin a delay of ninety days for the presenta? tion of claims for the refunding of the excess of tux paid upon cottou. The memorial was duly forwarded by the President of tho Chamber, S. Y. Tap? per, Esq., and, in reply, tho following lotter hus been received from Mr. Secre? tary Doutwoll: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. 16, 1871. Samuel Y. Tupper, Esq., Acting Presi? dent, tte, Chamber of Commerce, Charleston, S. C. Sin: Tho Commissioner of Internal Revenue has referred to mu tho mumu al of tho Charleston Chamber of Com? merce with your accompanying letter of ^ulj ?list, relative to au oxtensibu of the time fixed for pr?sentation of claims for .efuudiug of tuxes paid on tho groy? weight of cotton, without deductioti for taro. The order fixing August 4, 1S71, ns tho limit, does not relato merely to claims of this description, but applied, as will be seen from the copy herewith nclosed, to all claims for refunding in? ternal revenue tuxes, puytneut of which was made prior to August ?\ 18G9. It is not deemed advisable to make any excep? tion to the rule thus laid down. Tho Department hold, however, that claims placed In tho hands of local oflicors prior to August 4, 1871, should bo forwarded by thorn to tho department ftor examination, with a statement oi the reasons for delay in sending thom sooner. On receipt of such claims, thc department will consider the propriety of admitting them to adjudication. I am, very respectfully, GEORGE S. BO UT WELL, Secretary of tho Treasury. Tho following is tho circular referred to by Mr. Boutwell: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICIE OF INTERNAL REVENUE, WASHINGTON, August 3, 1809. Tho following regulation prescribe! by the Secretary of tho Treasury, i published for tho information of officer of internal revenue, and all others whoa it may concern. C. DELANO, Commissioner. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, August 3, 18G9. Tho following additional regtihitio: relating to claims for tho refunding c taxes is hereby prescribed: No claim or application bcrenfte made for the refunding of tuxes will b eutitlcd to consideration by the (Joni mi; sinner of Internal Revenue, unless th samo shall bo filed with tho cotntuii sioner within two years from the doto c tho payment of tho tux, or, in case c claims already accrued, within two yeal from this date. WILLIAM A. RICHARDSON, Acting Secretary of the Treasury. Tho refusal of Mr. Boutwell to grut an extension of timo for tho preseutatia of claims, in tho case of cotton, is an; thiug but just. It is, wo believe, only short timo since it was judicially decide that the Uuited States could not, undi the guise of taxing cotton, tax tho bnj ging und ties upon tho bales, and oi merchants wero not aware, until tho eu of July last, that a drawback would I allowed. Tho short interval of time b tweon that period and the ?lil of Align was insufficient for tho proper present tion of nil tho claims in question; y these claims uro now burred beean they were not sent in before. Fort iintely, tho decision of the Supreo Court is likely, in tho end, to pro moro prompt than departmental re tapo. - Charleston JVeirs. } I HOMICIDE IN BARNWELL COUNTY.-T. colored lambs of Barnwell County, C., seem to have grown weary of ussi siuating tho whites, and ure at prese engaged ia thinning out their own rac A few days ago, ODO negro killed alioth in that Couuty, nuder tho following c cumstances: lt appears that on lust i tnrday night, Henry Shavers and Jul .Smith, both in tho employ of Mr. l'i Hammond, been mn engaged in u qui rel about sumo trivial matter.
