COLUMBIA, S. C. Tass Hy -Horning, September 6.1871. Kdltoi'lul Retirement. Tbo WinnBboro ?Vetos, of AaguBt 81, eontaius the valedictory of its late editor, B. R. Stuart, Esq. Mr. Stuart an? nounces that ho has taken oharga of a school at Summerville, near Augusta, Ga. We regret that South Carolina has thus loBt the services-editorial and edu? cational- of this devoted Carolinian. Mr. Stuart is au earnost and able teach? er, and nu an editor has shown himself an original thinker and a bold, inde? pendent writer. Thoroughly devoted, os Mr. Stuart is, to the interests of South Carolina, nnd in sympathy with all that j is noblo in her past and promising in her future, wo hope ere long to find him oallod back to his cativs State, to fill some useful station in the line of his high calling and largo experience. In tho meantime, we bid him God-speed, and commend him to the appreciation of gallant and progressive Georgia. *-> ? ? King Amadeus, or his advisers, have at last reversed ri policy whiah has too long shaped the course of tho rulers of Spain. Tired of the prolonged rulo of punishment and repression which has been mercilessly enforced for so many years, the Savoyard King has issued a decree of amnesty to all political offend? ers in Spain. This wholesale and well timed act of olomenoy canuot fail but render the foreign monaroh more popu- j lar than he has hitherto been with his subjects. While he is merciful, the King is also fearless, bidding plotters and conspirators, Bourbons, Carlista, Republicana, all go free. He tells them that the Government is aware of tho weakness of its adversaries, und con euious of its own strength to crush all revolts. This cannot be regarded as an idle boast, for Amadeus has let loose, on his yet unstable realm, the very men who desire to destroy his power, and they will deprive him of his throne if he is weak or vacillating. FRENCH REPUBLICANISM.-The reoent proceedings of the Frenoh Assembly are anything but cheering to the friends of free government in France. Dissa? tisfaction and distrust exist on every side. Theirs hos a powerful opposition. The minority, whiah is large, are fierce in their opposition, and yield with evi? dent reluctance when a distasteful mea Burc is forced upon them. Indeed, there seems to bo but one bond of cohesion in that body-the fear of Germau interpo? sition in case of any disturbance of the present Government. The fear of Gor? man bayonets is evidently the only basis upon which the present Government rests. It has no nnohorage in the nfico tious of the people. Nor does the As? sembly appear to have any more respect for the people than they have for it. Taking advantage of tho popular weak? ness, tho former have not scrupled to assume to themselves what is called "constituent power," whioh means pow? er to form a permanent government which should be binding upon the peo? ple, whether they will it to be so or not. This is Republicanism with a vengeance! No doubt, .suggests the Sa vim nab Re? publican, it is borrowed from our own admirable system, whore popular supre? macy exists only in name, and the idea is laughed at by tho purso-proud auto? crats that lord it over a onoe proud and happy land. Ku KLUX TAKEN IN TUB ACT.-Tho telegraph has already reported the cap? ture of certain Ku Klux in North Caro? lina by Deputy United States Marshal Hester, who marched at their bead into Raleigh with a cow-hide in hand, while a party of colored men, wearing the cap? tured disguises, brought up the rear of the procession. The accused wore bound over on the oath of a negress brothel-keeper for trial. The Lumber ton (N. C.) Robesonvm now claims to have proof that Deputy Marshal Hester procured the disguises to be manufac? tured; that ho camped near Jbnesboro, and had the disguises in his wagon; that he claimed to be a member of the Klan, and endeavored to induce varions men and lads to join; that, finally, he pre? vailed on Bovoral yoting men to go with kim to his camp to be initiated; they did so, put on the disguises in pursuance of his instructions, and were immediately arrested by Hester and his band of oo lored accomplices. The Robesonian in? sists that completo proof of the con? spiracy has been obtained. AFFLICTED LocAiirrisa.-We are in? formed that four of Mr. Elmore Carter's children (Simpson Creek Township,) have died this week, and that Mr. John J. Reaves, who lives about four miles distant, on the All Saints side of thu Waccamaw, has also lost three of his ohildren this week. Mr. Arthur Hardee, of the same neighborhood, died this week; all these denths were from an ag? gravated typo of bilious fovor. Two of tho ohildren of tho deceased Mr. Har? dee, havo died this week, and another not expected to live.-Horn/ News. A Dubuque husband cut off his wife's hair when she was asleep and purchased a jug of whiskey with it. Charlotte Iloatl. ID tho i?sue of the PHONI?, of 3J in? stant, a stockholder advises all others to sell thoir stock at $10, if they can get it. The writer showe the oloven foot by mentioning the Erie Road. His famili a ity with the operations of that road 8 iggests tho suspicion that ho is a stock jobber, and, possibly, in tho pay of the man whom he soys has 10,000 shares. I do not bolieve this, and am curious to know how he makes up that sum. I should also like to know how long he has been u stockholder in tho Charlotte Hoad. I suspect about six mouths. There aro a few of us along the line who have owned stook in the road from the beginning, and we are determined to make tho stook gamblers pay considera? bly above $10 before they get our stock. OLD STOCKHOLDER. Correspondence of the Phoenix. GLENN SWUNGS, September 1, 1871. Since my last lotter, a number of iu quiries have been made, by many of your roaders, in different portions of the State, relative to the healing effects of the waters of this spring, and tir? various diseases which have been cured. We hasten to oomply with thoso requests, and prosent herewith an analysis of tho water: It is a strong sulphurous water; one wine quart contains six oubio inches of sulphurated hydrogen gftB. Specific gravity, 1.001. It is clear and colorless. Tasto, nauseous. Its solid oontonts aro: Sulphate of Magnesia, 21 grains; Sul? phate of Soda, 10 grains; Sulphate of Limo, 5 grains; Muriato of Lime, 4 grains; Supor Carbonant of Soda, 3 grains. Also traeos of Phosphate of Magnesia and Carbonate of Limo. It muy be that this water contains other in? gredients not deteoted by tho analysis already made, and especially gases, which, from the rapidity with which they escapo, aro most difficult of detec? tion. Thoro is every roason to induoo tho opiuion that they co?tai u a consider? able quantity of Carbonic Acid gas. Should this prove to bo the fuct, the vidueof the water would be considerably enhanced. Diseases of almost every oharaoter, ex? cepting pulmonary complaints, have been permanently eradicated from the system by the constant use of tho waters, for one or two months. As will be ob? served, by the above ingredients, the waters possess un alterative power, which gradjally removes tho disease, by acting freely upon all the secretions, and re? storing a healthy tone to tho entire sys? tem. In all bilious complaints they are peculiarly beneficent, and many of the worst coses of jaundice have been speed? ily cured. lu chronic diarrhoea they also prove a certain oure, if their uso is persovcred in. For ladies, thoir use has always been found highly advantageous, and many wonderful oures aud results are reluted. The late Dr. Fair, of your city, was a most ardent believer in and advocate of the excellent effects of these waters, and used to sand his patients hero every sea? son to be cured, as many of your read? ers can attest. Other physicians, who are not so familiar with their effects, would do well to make themselves ac? quainted with them, either by actual triul themselves, or by sending some of their patients here, as thoy may bo able thereby to aid in the relief of much suf? fering, after all other remedios havo failed. Tho season has not yet advanced too far this your to enublo all who desire to give this spring a fair trial before winter Bots in; and should your oity bo come crowded with refugees from Charleston, on acoount of the yellow fever, hero would be the most conve? nient, agreeable and accessible place in the neighborhood, for a large number, either of your own oitizeus or the strangers, to spend two or three months, until frosts visit the low country and render it safe for all to return to their homes. To reach this placo, passengers take tho morning train on the Greenville Road and go to Alstou. Horo they take the train on the Spartauburg and Union Railroad, arriving at Jonesville, at 1 o'clock in tho afternoon, whore they will fiud a carriage awaiting them to take them to Glenu Springs. When they ar? rive at the Springs, thoy will find tho proprietor of tho hotol, Mr. W. D. Fowler, ready to accommodate them with comfortable rooms and good faro, and always willing to do everything in his power for tho relief of the sick and afflicted. CHEEMNU NEW3 ABOUT THE FEVER. Tho public will learn, with satisfaction, that wo have boon notified by Dr. Lob? by, tho oity registrar, that ho will make an offioiul report, every afternoon, of the number of deaths by yellow fever certi? fied to him during the twenty-four hours ending at mid-day. This will place be? fore the community, os frequently as oonld be desired, a trustworthy state? ment of tho mortality in the oity. The people will know the whole truth, good or bad, and we may look forward to a sudden falling off in the crop of ru? mora, and to a steady improvement in the public morale. Altogether the oity has been rather cheerful in tone during the past two days, and the bulletins will tend to strengthen confidence ?u? diapel alarm. [Tho report for the past two days shows only throe deaths.] These reports, and the total mortality to dato, indicate that the fever is dis? posed to die out, or take a different shapo. The nights and mornings aro coo), and the days more like October than September. This has induoed one of the weather wiso (not connected with tho Signal Bureau) to prodiot a frost for tho last days of this month. I Charleston News, i?h. ABOUT TO SPUING.-The telegram in our yesterday's paper showed thot the tiger of thu Government was preparing to spring at South Carolina. That poor State-the object of the sympathy and commiseration of every intelligent and considerate person-a monument of mis? government and persecution-is to be struck nt to inspire the "wholesome, alarm" spoken of by Radicals through? out the South. That is, to AU the South? ern publio mind with dismay and restrain the Southern people from opposition to tho war party now in power. I Murtial law is to be declared iu cer? tain districts. What do those who de? clared thut the Ku Klux law gave no suoh powor to the President say to that? Tho chairman of tbe Committee to In? vestigate "Southern Outrages" suggests to tho President the propriety of this mensuro. Ho understands what is au? thorized by tho Ku Klux law, and so does Genet id Graut, not that he is a law? yer, hut that he knows what powers he asked Congress to give him, und that I was ono of them. Poor South Curoliun! Her case can? not be made mach worse. She would hu glad to ho remanded to the territorial condition; and Congress has as much right to remand her to this condition us it had to puss tho Ku Klux law, under which the President proposes uowto act. The Territorial government would bo iu tiuitely preferable to thu rule of barbar? ism. lb is far more necessary that that wretohed Statu should be put uuder Ter? ritorial government than it was that tho District of Oolumbia should be. The Radical party in Congress discovered that with tho negro power in that Dis? trict there could bo no pence nor rest without n ohange of government, aud they did not hesitate to make the chango. But South Carolina is not to re?oive the bouellt of any considerate mensuro of Radicalism. She is reserved for penalties and punishments-tu bo ex? posed daily in her humiliation and to receive her allotted stripes-to show the power of tho victor and to Htrike terror through the lund. Well, this roloutless war party cannot rule alway?-nor, let us all devoutly trust, will it be permitted to rule the country moro thuu for ii brief period. For the sake of the country, and Immu? nity, its days should be soon ended. [Richmond Dispatch. MARTIAL LAW IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The idea of murtial law for uuy portion of South Carolina is, in our judgment, so partisan aud uncalled for in its cha? racter as to demand tho sevorest rebuke and ceusuro. Wo had hoped the time had arrived wheu tho peuce, happiness uud welfuro of communities and State; would no longer depend upou either thc caprices or interests of a mere party, but would have a solid basis for theil security in tbe returning common souse and patriotism of the people. The course of the war which has been waged by tho Rudical party, both in aud out of Congress, by Congressional enact? ments and upon the stump, has prevent ed the punco for which the vital inter esta of the wholo country yearn, and which, hut for this course, might nut! .should li uve been attained long ago. Six years of agitatiou, siuce the couflicl of urms on the battle-hold has ceased, should certainly suffice for dissension! and measures of wrong and severance, without now again attempting to perpo tirite this sud history by tho proclama lion of martial law. Thu whole last sighs for rest, aud a return to self-go verument and the accustomed civil nd ministration of the laws. In this State if properly exorcised, the civil arm o tho Government is ample for the protec tion of life, liberty aud property. Tin grout difficulty hus boen, that tho Radi cul party of the country does uot desiri that peuce should bo preserved in tim nay. It is not for tho interests of theil party. It puts au end to their wild ox uggeratious, and to that capital iu iradi by which thoy alone hopo to preservi their arbitrary powor and continuo t< mislead tho public judgment. In South Carolina, nil of the depart menta of the Government uro lurgol; Republican. Tho Executive, Legisla ti ve und judicial departments aro in thei entiro control. Tu say that lliesa un not sutlioicut for the administration o justice, is at ouce to confess their iucom potence and efficiency. It amounis ti an acknowledgment of the utter faillir of Radical rule, and ita inability eitbe for domestic peace or security. Tili most bethe broud coufession upou whicl any idea of martial law will rest. Tho Washington Republican has quit a sensational article under the heui "Martial Law to be Proclaimed in Spin tauburg and York Counties, South Cn roll na." This action, it is said, is argo by Seuator Scott, the Chairman of th Joint Congressional Committee, wilie visited this State, and who claims tho President Grant should issue a prods mation and station military forces i these Countios, to ensure thu exectitio of all orders. IQ this recommendation, we do ut understand all the committee as conoui ring. In fuot, we do not know that an of tho committee have concurred in th: course. Some of them, by the improi nions which they have published, oei tainly dissent. They disoredit, as non liable and partisan, the larger part c the testimony whioh was tuken befor the committee iu South Carolina as ev dently given for partisan purposes, an from partisan motives. What is wanted in South Carolina is thoroughly honest and eoonomioal ac ministration of its internal affairs, who) right will be respeoted and tho publi welfare rogarded. This is the true wn to concord. There have boen a fe cases of individual violence. Thesi nntil human nature is changed, dav boon in tho main tho reaction from wron and misrule. They have arisen from want of protection on tho part of tl authorities, as against incompetency an corrnption in offico. This martial law cannot romody, does not secure or restore; it ouly tl prives of Bolf-government. Wo trust President Grant will have the Btatemau ahip to resist these demands, mid with the proper exertiou of the State Govern? ment and tho redress of internal wrongs, there will bo peaoe in this stricken State. I Charleston Courier. THB NEXT PRESIDENTIAL EJECTION ITS IMPOIITAKOE.-The destinies of this continent, politically, will be settled by tho result of the next Presidontiul elec? tion. If the Badical party succeed in electing Grant, wo Bhall bid u loug fore well to constitutional liberty und wel? come) tho advent of tho empire resting on the caprice of the Badical mob, em? bodying the impure, vicious aud malig aaat in morals, the dishonest, unscrupu? lous, hateful and corrupt in politics, a faction, of which B. F. Butler rcpro Hunts tho highest development, thc whole constituting essentially "a vulgar tyran? ny." There is not a respectable South urn paper that docs not believe as wo do, that this is tho issue presented in thc approaching oleoliou. How, then, can wu account for the declaration which we moot with in some quarters, to tho effect that tho issues involved in national poli? tics aro of greatly less importunen to us than questions of State polity? What they mean who advance this assertion wu do not precisely uudorstaod, except tliut they seem inclined to dodge a con? test with tho Republican purty next your, by some sort of local compromiso with that party or some of its members, whereby certain advantages, or supposed advantages, to tho people of South Ca? rolina may rosult. Wo do not know what they propose, but of this wc are very euro, that no such odvmtuges eau result from any compromiao with th? compromising ring of thc Badical party of South Carolina as now developed, which could compensate our people for tho loss they must sustain by a separa? tion, at u crisis liko the prosont, from the only constitutional party left iu America. A party which tramples under foot the constitutions, State uud Federal, and as? sumes thc creation and punishment of crimes within the States at the will of tho Congress, and iuvests thc President with the power to trample out the civil law under the armed heel of his soldiery, at bis solo discretion, cuu make no terms of compromiso that can socuro anythiug to anybody. We are, therefore, not favorable to auy compromise looking to tho abandonment of our post io tho ruuks of thc Democratic party, at a time when tho salvation of thc liberties of the country is at stake. There aro compro? mises to which wo would give our hearty support, but nono that Budioulism could oller could tempt us to jeopardize, in tho least possible degree, thu triumph of the party of the Consiituliou in tho next election. Let tho peoplo bowaro of any compromise with those Badieals who make politics a trade, for, in our judg? ment, we are sure to bo worsted in the trude. Questions at issue between tho races may be, and ought to bo, made the basis of compromise between us aud tho well-disposed colored people, but they do uot involve tho aaoriliee of our posi? tion upon questions of general polities. [Camden Journal. Tho Detroit Free Press, which bas a rare knack of sharpening nails aud driv? ing them into tho coffiu of the Badical party and its representative, General Graut, with hurd aud efficient blows, says: "If Presideut Grant will uso the army to secure a nomination, bo will usc it to secure an election. Them is no doubtiug the fact. The Ku Klux bill was passed in order to givo him an ex? cuse for such an act of usurpation. It will be no fault of Grant's if he is not elected, providing force will re-elect bim. Tho peoplo have roached that point in this political history when it will devolve upon thom to decido whether they will in tho futuro be ruled by ballots or bul? lets. This question is already forcing itself upon their attention, und it must bo mot and decided. It is one more grnvo than over beforo submitted to them, and one which will demand moro ?rmocss of action in behalf of right." BUN OVER HY A TRAIN-SUSPICION OE FOUL PLAY.-Tho Saturday evening train ou tho Savannah and Charleston Bail road, when bctwoeu White Hall and ?julkchatcbio Stations, run over the body of nu unknown colored man, which lay iu tho grass across tho aleepers. When it was examined, a wound similar to otic produced by a gun-shot was found iu his side, opposite where tho car had struck him, which leads to the supposition that there is something wrong iu connection with his death. A jury of inquest was impanelled, and the body kept for post mortem examination. I Charleston Courier. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE-About 3 o'clock, on Wednesday morning, tho rosidenco of our esteemed fallow-citizen, Dr. J. J. O'Han non, was discovered to be on fire, and, though every effort was made to save tho building, tho progress of tho flames could not be arrested, and in a fow minutes it was entirely consumed. [Barnwell Journal. DIED FIIOM HER BURNS.-The colored girl, Louisa Johnson, who was badly burned by the explosion of a eau of kero? sene- oil, with which she waa attempting to kindle a tiro on Monday morning last, expired on Saturday moruing, from tho injuries then recoived. During tue h\? days, her sufferings were fearful. I Charleston Neics. Tho Druggists' Board of Examiners appear to be having things their own way iu New York, despite the oppositiou of tho apothecaries.

Byes, a member of tho South Caro? lina Legislature, has boon attending school ab Washington during tho vaca? tion, and, wo snpposp, is now able to read and writo. TUB THUNK MURDEH- ITS LATEST AS? PECTS.--Tho sin ol poor Alice Bowleeby is cuttiDg a wide swath of desolation. Her family-the mother au ? two young? er daughters-are suffering that intense grief that refuses to bo comforted, and oue of her lovers-Walter Conkling, the son of a Patterson alderman-yesterday, deliberately committed suicide. Whether be is tho ono who ruined Alice and brought hor to such a miserublo onding remuiua to bo BUown at tho Coroner's in? quest, which commences to-duy. The name of another geutleinan friend of Alice's-ono Tripp-is meutioned iu connection with tho woe that befell ber; but he bas disappeared, and his where? abouts is not known. The inquoist of to-day will doubtless divulge all the facts iu tbe matter, and present a nnrrative so much moro strange than any conceivable tiction tbat it ought to provo an ever pre? sent warning against the commissiou ol tho ono crime thut carries such terrible woo in its wake. Thoro can bo but one verdict reudered. Alice Bowlesby came to her death by cruel malpractice at the hands cf Dr. Aecher, alias Dr. Roseu weig. Whatever formal liuks nro to be tiupplied to completo the legal chitin of evidence, that fact is firmly established in tho minds of all the people of this eily who havo ordiuury intelligence. Now what is to bo doue with Dr. Rosen - woig? Already we have indications that law? yers' quibblen und cunning counsel's fence will not he wanting to aid him. xV motion for a writ of habeas corpus was presented und granted in his behalf yes? terday, requiring that ho bo produced this morning before Judge Sutherluud, iii tho Supreme Court Chambers, when, uo doubt, un effort will ho mude to have him released ou bail. It is not likely thut he can bo released even on heavy hail, in tho present state of public ex? citement; but it is evident from tho mo? tion thut uo stone will bo left unturued to save him from tho vengeance of the law. We have precedent to ho fouud among the stone quarries at Sing Sing for hts incarceration at hard labor, but none for his execution, although his de? liberate attempt to spirit away tho body and to hitlu the effect of his malpractice may put a new nod moro tangible aspect of wilful murder in tho eyes of tho law upon this most horrifying case. [New York Herald. An institu?e of gross ingratitude re? cently became known through the death of au old gentleman at Hewittville, in this State, who hud seen service during tho war of 1812, and had been one of the first settlers of tho town of Mina, where ho taught school, engaged in politics, and amassed a good deal of property. After tho death of his wife, about, twelve yours ago, ho was so much affected that he lost iuterest in life, aud made au as? signment of all that he possessed to his two children. He thought that he could live with them in peace until tho cud of his days; but, like King Lear's daugh? ters, they proved wautingin ordinary af? fection, as well as in gratitude, and, ac? cording to the Jamestown Journal, com? pelled tho poor old fellow to eke out a misi rabio existence at thu expense of thc County for three years, when death put a period to his sufferings. [New York Times. When tho Radical pupers tell the peo? ple how much tho public debt has been reduced recently, they do not remiud them, ut tho sumo time, that it is tho people themselves, and not the Radical party, that have made those payments on the debt; they do not remind them that they havo taxed tho country an an? nual sum of about 8100,000,000 with which to do these great things; und they do not remind them that, while they have taxed the people 8400,000,000 a year to support the Government and re? duce the debt, they have squandered the Secret Service Fuudou tho San Domingo job, and robbed tho peoplo in a hundred other wuys. Lot these facts go with the reduction of tho debt, aud we nro co?? tent. -Pkiladelph ia A nc. EUKKKAI-Forney hus at bust and re? luctantly discovered a truth. Ho says: "It is a fact which cannot bo disguised, und winch wo have never attempted to conceal, that a largo and influential por? tion of the mon who represent tho Re ptiblicuu party in the South uro more adventurers, without any interest in tho success of the organization other than money-making." Tho Golden Age thus describes its model newspaper man and wido-awnko journalist: "Ho has only to stick to his profession, work like a tiger, beliovo everything be says, keep out of the Le? gislature and other tumptatious, aud ho will make a capital newspaper mau. Aud, UH the poet says, a newspaperman's the noblest work of God."
