C ) LUMBLA.". S. C. Saturday Horning, October 21.1871. O ol livor on HU Travels--Account a Ili? lli y- Let Tja Have lt. The reply of the Union to oar arraign? ment of it before the publie requires no speoial anawor. Only this and nothing more, have we to BOggesfc, by way of brief rejoiuder. The Union remarks: *. Gulliver traveled through Lilliput and came away unharmed, nolwitJistanding the showers of darts and other missiles hurled ul him by the inhabitants of thal country." All, now, we have to say is, that wo thank the self-styled Gulliver of tho Union for its illustration. Doubtless it has boeu reading Gulliver's Travels; and, no doubt, South Oarolinn is but a 1 .pigmy" territory-no more than a "Lilliput"-lo tho Gullivers who, with or without carpet-bags, Lave boon passiug through this seotion. We leavo the Union whero it has plaaed itself-in tho land of Lilli? put. We have only to add, by way of suggestion, that, whilst on its travels, it would, perhaps, bo well for it, in its oh'iraoter of Gulliver, to extend its visit to that island, near by tho Lilliput of Swift, where men were the subjoota, and horses-and, wo presume, asses, too ruled. But we take occasion to meet a '-Jow issue nveod by the Union. In an? other article, that paper-which, in aid? ing to bring martial law upon a portion of South Oarolina, seeks, virtually, to -strike the bosom that has warmed it into .life-says: "TJie PHCENIX pulls in the same team with the Charleston News, both claiming to represent the virtuous (with an exclamation) and intelligent (with a sneer) Democracy of (he Stale. SOMEBODY WILL, BB HELD ?O AN ACCOUNTABILITY ONE OF .ni KA ii DAYH." Now, wo havo this to say, onoe for all, to the Union on this point. The News can speak for itself. The PHONIX pulls in a team of its own-it pulls in the direction of the honor and prosperity of South Oarolina. Bat the Union adds: "Somebody will be held to an accountability one of these days." Now, if the Union is foolish enough to 'throw thia out as a threat, our answer ie this: We hold its threats in utter con? tempt. We defy it and its aiders and ?bettors, in all that malice can devise oi ingenuity snggest. .So long as we wield the pen of the journalist, we shall wield it-as firmly and pointedly as manhood and duty require-in behalf of the pub? lic interests. By all means let as have this *'accountability" of which the Unior, speaks. The sooner the better. We art 'perfectly willing to take oar chnnoet with that paper and its party before an\ -tribunal. Bat, in our judgment, the less the Union Sc Go. talk of "accounta? bility," in Sooth Oarolina, the better foi them. The case of South Oarolina vs, her traducers and defamers, cannot tot soon come up for adjudication. UNKIND.-Among the half dozen met killed during the late Philadelphia eleo tion, waa a colored, man named Catto -over whose remains one political part] in that city organized a pageant, ant with much emotional elocution con signed them to their grave. Upon wbiol the New York Tribune muses as follows 'Now, for the life of na, we oannot sei irby the aristocratic Philadelphiam ohould make any pother about the mat ter, hold mass meetings in Nationa Hall, or show their righteous wrath a the murderer by unwonted zeal ii -funeral aorvioes for a martyr whose lif they did so little to protect. There i no placo where the colored man ha striven harder and more snooesaf ally ti prove himself a maa than in the City o 'Brotherly Love, and there is no plao where he has had to fight his wa; against greater odds in intolerun tyranny." ""THB SILLIEST OF BOSH. "-The Obi cago correspondent of the Oinoinnal .Commercial bas this paragraph in hi Jotter of October 13: "The citizens are highly excited oi the subject of incendiarism, and man, insist that a determined conspiracy ia oi foot to burn up the town. Some Ger .mans say that the Southern Ku Kin: have their incendiaries at work." This is not the first effort that has boo: made to fasten upon the people of tb Sonth tho responsibility for the oalamit; that has befallen Chicago. Some felloi in that oity sent a despatch to the St IiOnii Democrat making a oharge si mila to that alloded to by the oorresponden of the Commercial. The Democrat, o the 18th inst., disavowed tho insinuatio; aa fol lo wa: "The nba ard sensational rumor eon from Chicago of a statement tbat au it cendiary had been hanged cou fous in ' that he came there with ex-re ?els to bur the oity, ia the silliest of bush. Bu that in the pressure and barry of new matter th? paragraph escaped revision it would not havo appeared in our cc lamns." It ls, indeed, "the silliest c! bosh" t try to connect the Southern people nit! the Chicago calamity. Knots for tba People. "WEAK-KNEED AND DOUGH FACED" NEGRO, OPKK YOUR EYE!-A. mao of roark ia Texas is tho Hon. Matt Gaines. He is a negro-the colored Demosthenes of the Texas Senate. And like a great many other sensible, negroes in the South now-a-days, he is manifesting and incit? ing a stroog feeling of iudigoatiOD against tho Northern gentlemen who are monopolizing all tho best offices in thu reconstructed States. He hus lately been making stump speeches through? out the State, in which be has du? li on need, io uumeasured terms of repro? bation, tho dapper little fellows who have come down there from the North, and provided themselves with "tight panta? loons, gold-headed cauca, and chicken pic," at the expense of tho pu bl io, toj.be exclusion of the horny-handed planta? tion laborers, who ure better entitled to the spoils. Goo J for Mr. Ci ai nos! And abundant evidences o' the sumo feeling were exhibited ab the Republican Stato Convention lately held io Virginia During un animated but fractious dis? cussion upon a resolution relating to tbe distribution of the Federal patronage in tbe State, several of the colored delegates advocated its passage ou the ground that its adoption would "rid the State of tbe hordes of woak-kueed, dough faced car? pet-baggers, half of whom were really the rottenest of Copperheads." In tbis convention the native whites supported their colored brethren in their antago? nism to the aapeb-baggers; but the latter class had so manipulated the primary uiootin^B that they had a majority of delegotes, sud consequently summarily voted down the resolution which threat? ened interference with their pretensions. [Edgefield Advertiser. SENSIBLE NEGROES -One of the color? ea men ut Oulusworth was from Rich? mond. He said he would not live in town any more; ho was tired of paying reut; Lo could save no money; town was no plac fur his people; ho liked railroad work, and wheu it was done he means to have a farm of his own; "town was no piuco for him." There was a very general nsseut to this from the rest. I [said: "Then you'll marry and live on your farm." Of six negroes whom I interrogated at this fire three could read and oue could write. Three said they had saved j money. One told me he hud $900 in tbe bank-a savings bunk-ab interest. He had a German silver watch, whose time he compared with mine with evident comfort to his own feelings. One bad saved $-100, whioh he had lent to a white I family who once took care of him when ho was "very sick." He got no interest, but conld get his money back when he wanted it. I told him his money would bring him, at 6 per cent, in a bank, $24 per year; but he said, with some little indignation, that "he'd have done gone died and had uuttin ef dem folks hadn't tuk care of him, and he didn't oare foi interest if dey needed de money." [Kanawlia Palls Cor. N. T. Tribune. THE LATE RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA. - Tho Philadelphia Age, of Thursday lust, says: "Tiie details, fully given in our re ports yesterday, showed that ?the turbu? lence of a portion of tbe colored people was the cause of the disorder. Thej slew one of their own number for tht offence, of voting a Democratic ticket, and the unfortunate Catto fell in a brui which he had himself begun with t deadly weapon. These ure the si mph facts, an they will appear, as there is n< longer any occasion to miarepresou thom, ' tie election being over." How TUB WORK is DONE AT THI UNITED STATES NAVY YARDS.-Here ii the way the workingmen io the Goveru ment Navy Yard ab Vallejo, California were treated by the mini?os of a tyran nidal and corrupt Administration at tin late election. We quote from tho Solum Democrat, of the Otb inst., the following "We wish tbat every voter in Amerioi conld have witnessed the scene eoaotei in Vallejo, OD election day. If it dit not disgust them thoroughly with Re publicanism, it would be because the; are hopelessly corrupt themselves. W wish they could have seen tho loni strings of men who were driven to th polling-places by the foremen of th uavy yard, aud compelled to vote ai open paste-board ttoket, about half ai icon wide by five inches long. Th offioers of election had screens built ii front of the polling-places high euuugl to protect the men from the scrutiuiziuj eyes of their bosses, so that they migb have an opportunity to vote without in timidatioo, but this interfered with tb plans of the foremen, who went early ii the morning and tore off the planks They stationed themselves at e?oh poll iog-piaoe. A person peddled tbe ticket and saw that they were deposited, whil another stood by with a book con tainin ull the names of the navy yard employee voting at the preoioot, and checked ol atioh as dared to vote against the will ti their masters. Tho men marched up ii lice, and were not parmi t ted to hav tickets until they were ready to deposi them. Wo nover io our life witoesse BO humiliating a sight." Referring to a recorded sale of rea estate in New York to Mr. Leslie, "ti South Carolina," the Charlee ton Nation alibi, (one of the two Republican organ m this State,) expresses itseli in the fol lowing pointed language: "When wo find meo who oame to tb State with no other fortune than th suit of clothes on their backs, aud whoa only atook in trade was the name of Rt publican, after a long term of offloe, nt marked by a display of either talent patriotism or public spirit, coolly th parting heuce with their pockets lille to repletion with the blood drawn, dro bj drop, fro lu ino veios of the poor cc lured people and prostrate native oit Zeus, and investing their gains in otbe States, for tho beueflt of another peopU it is time that the Republican pur t v se on foot a stern aud uncompromising it quiaition into the characters of thei leaders." Terrible Do ?station lu Wis? on?In ?nd Michigan. A correspondent of the New York Herald writes from Milwaukee. October 15: From various persons who have just returned from Northern Winoonsin and Michigan, it now appears the wildest rumors and imaginings which have pre? vailed, for days past, have fallon fur ?bort of the actual reality in describing the loss of life and property in these devastated regions. Tho Chairman of Relief Committee sent from this city Hintes that on arriving at Dashligo har? bor he found a considerable uumber of tiloso who had tied from tho village, Keven miles up the river, many of whom wuro seriously burned, and all deplora? bly destitute. At Pe.-ihtigo village, there remained only a fow engaged iu search? ing for and burying tho dead. The lire which destroyed Pcsbtiga occurred on the cveuiug of the Sib iuslunt, mid his? tory has never furnished u parallel of ib terrible destructiveness. Shortly after tho church-going people hud re? turned from oveuiug service, an omi? nous sound was heard, liko thu distaul roar of tho sea, or of a coming storm. Thia increased in intensity, and HOOD tho inhabitants became alarmed mid appre? hensive of coming danger. Balls of Uro were observed to fall liku meteors in different parts of tho town, igniting whatever they carno in ooutuct with. By this time, the whole population were thoroughly aroused und alarmed, and caught up their children and what valu? ables they could hastily seize, and lio Kan to flee to a place of safety. Now u brightlight appeared in tho South-west horizon, gradually increasing till the heavens were aglow with the light. But a few moments elapsed after this, be? fore tho horrible tornado of lire came upon tho people und enveloped I hem in flames, smoke, burning simd and cin? ders. Tilosa who hud not now reached the river or some other place of safety were suffocated und burned to cinders br foro they could advuuee u bull dozen slops further. Tho character of tho tiro was unlike any described before. It was n flam? fanned by a hurricane and accompanied with varionn electrical sparks, while they fiiw electrical flames flash iu the air and dance over tho surface of the earth around them. But the fury ot tho flush was past in half au hour, though tho tiru continued to burn more or less during the whole night. The full effects of the storm were not nppareut until day-light returned and tho survivors could come forth from tIm:r retreat. A party of J.50 fortunately ran toge? ther upon a low meadow below the bridges, and were all saved. A family of five persons saved themselves by jumping into a shallow well. Another family of the sumo number were all suf? focated by a like resort. A large num? ber threw themselves into tho mill pond und sustained themselves by clinging to tho boom and floating logs, at the same tune continually wetting their beads to prevent them from rousting. Many chil? dren, and soma only a few mouths old, were kept in the water all night and yet survived. Mauy others were drowned by being trampled on or thrown from logs by cattle und horses that madly rushed into tho waters to escupe thc flamea. Tho tornado came from the South? west aud swept over a truct of country eight or ten miles wide und of mdet?uiU length. Timber in its oourse was felled by the hurricane und burned by the tire, aud every vestige of fence aud building wai swept away, with two or three ex captions. Sometimes the wind Btruok the earth with such force that the small under growth was torn np iu winnows. At other times it would skip away from tbi earth. The population of Pesbtigo and vicinity was 2,000, and fully one-third ol those perished that fearful night. Mari nott, six miles Eastward, OD the Meno minee River, is the city of refuge foi the Peshtigo sufferers, nnd the Dunlap Hotel has been converted into a tempo ra ry hospital for ovor fifty of the sick and burned. Many others are distribnt ed among the citizens of the village. About fifteen per cent, of them ure s< badly burned that it is impossible to re aover. Others will be able to return ti busiuesB in a month's time or less. Tin bums occurred most frequently on tb< feet, and hands aud moe, and nearly al suffer from tho exbnlutiou of hot sain und cinders, and from the usual pulmo nary complications of burns. The editor of the Menominee Herald just from tbe scone of the disaster, unyi that on the flat, near the river, tho pool oreutnres were gathered, many of their HO disfigured os to be unrecognizable Huudreds lay in their agony, with per haps a pieoe of tent, a few boards or ? blanket on sticks, os a protection, nnc often entirely unprotected-helpless groaning, miserable haman beings mauy of tbem disfigured for life, aar some destined to drag along a fev< minerubio days or weeks of existence une then die. Twenty-one persons were burned tt death by the same tornado of Aro th? same night in the little village of B4rcl Creek, adjacent. Over 1,500 men, wo men and obildren have been burned ti death in Wisconsin alone. Their housei and farms are, to a large extent, utterly destroyed, the very soil having burne* up and destroyed all their autumn mir root crops. They aro destitute, and wil require fall support till another season, Seren Counties in our State are thus it great part desolated. Whole regions o country in Western Michigan aro in tb? samo condition. Fires are still raging and destroying. The loss of life in Northern Wisoonsit is moro tuan five times greater than tba of Ohioago by the lute fire, and the suf fering of survivors destined to be in finitely greater, from the sparsely settler condition of the country and its remote uess from populous and wealthy commu uities. Tbe loss of property there cai only be computed by millions, embruc iag farming uteneila, bouses, barus, grain, fen oes and lumber of every kind in every state of manu facturo. Pesbtigo, Wisconsin, dates to the 12th, rooord tbe utter destruction of tho town. 400 dead bodies bave been re? covered, and it is thought that 300 more ure in the river, where tho intense heat Otnsed death by inhalation, while the rest of tbe body was under water. The velooity of the tiro was so great that all escape was impossible. A large number of the dead wero brought to Oconto for burial, as no materials for collins could bo procured. The loss of life on the East shore in Dover and Kownuoe Gouuties aro ap? palling. All communication is severed, and tho terrible nows comes slowly. At Pensaiikee, twenty-five dwellings wore burned aud several lives lost. The de? struction of hay, farm houses uud fences in the vicinity is completo. lu Brussels. Dover County, 2< 0 houses, comprising tho Belgian settlement, wore destroyed, and a large number of per? sons are missing. Tho people, in utter destitution und struck dumb with their losses, uro powerless. Houses, burns, farming implements and cuttle all de? stroyed; roads aro filled with the'cur cusses of un i mu?s-horses, cuttle and sheep-dying from smoko uud heat, while bouger uud starvation must be en? dured by thu wretched people. Mere Kaiire has been destroyed, und all its inhabitants aro destitute, houseless nod homeless. No particulars have been received. It is reported the whole West is on fire, from Creen Buy to Mcuomoiice Uepere. Wrighttowu ami Fort Howard ure threatened. No ruin fell for two months until to-day, when copious show? ers were hulled with joy. Great, numbers of wounded have been brought to Green Hay. The scenes were appalling. Men and women were partially roasted alive, their eyes bumed ?ut aud their eats burned oil*. Advices from F?>U du Lao say that re? ports from tho Northern districts grow hourly worse. The accounts of stiffer ing are unparalleled. Clothes, food ami money ure greatly needed. Great fires uro also reported in Calu? met Couuly. Dwellings, burns, buy, gruiu and stock have been destroyed. Not a single town iu the County hus escaped. All crops liuvu been destroyed. Particulars buvo not been received. Thc settlement, Williamson's Mills, ut Sturgeon Buy, hus been burned, und Mxly lives lost. Late ucl vices say that tho towns of .Marietta und Muruetti were partially saved. The heavy rain which is hilling bus nearly extinguished thu firos in Culo met und aud Sheebuyguu Counties. News from Michigan is Very meagre, but most terrible. No detuils have come to hand, but the total de? struction of a largo number of towns is repurted, including Holland, Suugutuck, Muuestee und others. Tho Lutherun Synod of South Caroli? na bas just closed its convention ut Frog Level, after u session of five duyH. Tho meeting wus harmonious, and the busi? ness conducted with a kindness and fraternal feeling which mudo it extreme? ly pleasant. Buv. W. S. Bowman wns elected Presideut, and tho Riv. J H. Honour Secretary. The retiring Presi? dent, K'sv. J. Huwkius, reud a well-writ? ten and interesting report, suggesting various things for the consideration of Synod, which elicited sundry resolu? tions. A resolution was adopted, to sus? tain Newberry College, which is in a much better condition now than it has been since tho wur, and to make strenu? ous efforts to raiso for it un endowment fond. Major J. H. Murrell, of the Charleston Courier, was elected by the convention a member of the Board of Trustees. A committee was appointed to oollect materiuls for a history of the Lutheran Church in South Carolina. Resolutions were adopted for increased exertions in support of Home Missions. Messrs. C. Prioleati Boozer, George A. Hough and Dm ry Ky ser were solemnly ordained aud fully set ?part to the holy oflicc of tho Christian m > n isl ry. A COLD-BLOODED M UUD EH.-On Sa? turday last u heurt less uud cold-blooded murder wus committed ou Peu Bulge, about ten miles ubove this town, by Wm. Newberry, upou hi? brother-in-law. Wm. Bailey. It appears that Newberry went to Bailey's house, under tho iulluetico of liquor, und told Bailey that his (Bailey's) son ought to be whipped, and if his father did not do it ho would. Newber? ry then went ont und cut some switches, and returning to the house commetio>'il whipping the boy severely. Tho mother, who is Nowberry's sister, interior d, when Newberry turned on ber und ciro ve ber out of the bouse. Bailey then came in, took the boy away from bim aud put Newberry out of the house aftor u hard souille. When they got out of doors Newberry drew his knife and stubbed Bailey in the breast. Bailey lived only about Ovo minutes. Newberry wus ar? rested aud is now in jail. - Union Times. HOMICIDE.-Tom MoOottry, somotimes culled Tum MoElveen, shot and killed a young negro girl called Clarinda, on lust Wednesday.

The girl took part for ber mother und said something to Tom, who deliberately shot her, thu contents of Iiis gun tukiug effect about her neok, killing her in? stantly. Ho immediately made his es? cape, und has not been arrested up tn this time. Tho jury of ioqueat returned a verdiot of wilful murder. We think a reward of 8500-Gov. Scott's price for murderers in this District-would bring Tom to justice.-Kingslree Slur. A Chinaman's account of the Cbioago calamity is as follows: "Melican-llish boy take kelosine lamp and milk cow; cow kick over lamp; up go Chicago."
