THE GLOUOKBTER FISHERMEN'S WAR ON CANADA.-The Gloucester fishermen, iu their efforts to involve this country so far as they can in wur with Great Bri? tain, and thereby abrogate tho treaty of Washington, have at lust takeu a vary desperate stop. A party of them, so pretty organized for the purpose, re? cently recaptured I lu? American schooner E. A. Horton, which was lying ut Guys boro, N. S., awaiting tho decision of the admiralty court upon charges of vio? lating the Canadian fishery laws, and put to sea with her. Immediately an English gun-boat and cutter started in pursuit, and at lust accounts were still on the chase. Tho surveyor of the port at Boston Bent an American g tin-boat to Gloucester to look alter American inter? ests, and the good will, peace aud amity so lately negotiated between ourselves and- Great Britain ure ut the mercy of any- little breeze that may blow tbis spark into a flame. In tho meantime, General Butler is lecturing on the disad? vantages of the treaty, trying, in his magnetic way, to prepare the people for siuy difficulty these hot-hended fishermen may precipitate upon us. Tho aot of the fishermen was undoubtedly a fin grant violation of our laws and of the laws of nations; and whatever the ori? ginal seizure of the schooner by the British may have been, apd in view of the very recent suppression of attempts no more unlawful on the part of General O'Neill and the Feniaus, it would seem that the Government has no course to pursue but to teach these brawny sons of the sea to have more regard for the peace and prospects of their own coun? try, even if they must have less for their own private pockets. A mechanic in New Orleans ha's con? structed a safe which he dealares to be burglar proof. To convince the incre? dulous of the fact, he placed a 81,000 bill in bis pocket-, had himself locked in the safe, and declared that he would give the money to the man that unfastened the door. ' All the blacksmiths and bur glars in the State have been boring and beating at tho safe for a week, the man is in there yet. He has whispered through the key-hole that hu will make the re? ward $10,000 if somebody will only let him out. Fears are entertained that the whole concern will have to be melted down in n blast furnace before he is re? leased, and efforts are to bo made to puss in through the key hole a fire-prool jacket, to protect the inventor while the iron is melting. The iuveutor swears that if be once gets out, he will in fu? ture always try the experiment with a rival puteutee innide. He says ho never tbought that he should wish, as be does now, that some one would find a weak place in bia armor. JURY OP INQUEST.-On Wednesday, an inquest wu8 held by Coroner Stubbs upon the body of a colored lad named Prince Ocean, found dead upon the plantation of Mr. George Crosland, near this place.

The following letters appear in the lost issue of the Sumter Neios: SUMTER, Ootober IC, 1871. MR. EDITOR: The Golumoia Daily Union, in its issue of the 2d inst., con? tained an extruot (us he says) from a letter from Sumter, writtun on Saturday, September 30, saying that a store-keeper by the name of Ryttenberg, living fifteen miles from Sumter, wus taken on Friday night previous, and terribly whipped by the Ku Klux, und for no other reason Minn his beiug a Republi? can. My attention was first culled to that article hy Mr. Pnxlon, of tho Sum tor Watchman; nud being satisfied thut tbe malicious and slanderous report alluded to mu, I requostod him to deny thu same through his paper, and made tho same request of the editors of thu Sumter Neics, both as regarde the whip? ping and my being a Republican, and stated to thurn at that timo that I waa called upou three wooka previously by some goutlomcu in disguise, (whuovcr they wero I do uot know,} who request? ed to seo me, uud assured mo they would not harm me in thu least, in either per? son or property, nud morely requested mo to stop buying seed cotton. Aud on my giving tbem uti nfilrmativo answer, they rodo ol?, uutl I have never seen them nineo. Roth tbo Sumter Watchman aud tho Sumter Neuss ha VMS done mu tho justice to deny my beiug whipped through their columns, but thu Columbia Union still alicks to thc lie. Ou tho ot li instant, I wrote Li. Cuss Carpen tor, tbe editor aud proprietor uf the Union, requesting bim to give me tho name of his corres? pondent who wrolu that letter, but re? ceiving no reply, un tho Otb instant, I learned from Mr. J. N. Corbett, who had just returned from Columbia, thai Mr. Carpenter was uot lhere, uud ad? vised mo to writo to Mr. Everson, wno was then ediliug tho Union, which I did that day, and mudo the sumo request from him as I did from Mr. Carpenter And on tho 11th instant, I received the following reply from Mr. Carpenter, [see letter.] Ou ibu 12th instant, I furnished him uutficient proof that I wits not the person alluded to., by letter from J. N. Corbett, County Auditor, certifying there boing but one family of Ryttou berga in this County, and deuyiug the outrageous report. Also, by u loiter from Mujor Wm. F. DcKuight, assistant assessor internal revenue, who is a per? sonal friend of E. W. Everson, sub? editor of the Union, and yet. to this date, I ample time ho certainly had, to give mel tho correspondent's name, but hus not. Why? Because ho knows it to be u lie, and tries to shield him by not giving his name. Now, Mr. Editor, having tried, but iu vain, to obtain tho correspondents name, who wrote that slanderous und untruthful report about me, I denounce him, whoever he may be, as no gentle? man, but a moan, contemptible scoun? drel and Uar, und the editor who uflirms the responsibility of bis correspondent und still refuses to givo his name, there? by iuilioting upou mu tho grossest injus? tice and wrong, us unworthy the confi? dence of high toned or limiest men. H. RYTTENBERG. OFFIOE OF THE DAILY UNION, COLUMBIA, October ll, 1871. //. Ryttenberg-DEAR SIR: Yours is at hand, asking the narnu o? the corres? pondent who furnished tbo information lo the whipping of ono Rytt.uberg. Before I can comply with your request, it will be necessary for you to prove to me that you are tho person alluded to. Any person cnn write over tho signature of "Ryttenberg." Truly, yours, L. CASS CARPENTER BISMARCK AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND. It is represented that the during Prus? sian Minister holds at present thu mer? cantile existence of England in his nando, the result of having humbled France iu thu dust. No less a sum tbuu 25,000,0U0 sterling is now in his posses? sion, in the shape of bills drawn by French on English capitalists, and should tie think of presenting them uud con? verting them into gold, all the specie in tbe Bunk of England would not sntliee, ns it possesses little more than 21.UIH), OOO in all. Tbe directors of thut insti? tution have endeavored to avert u crisis by raising the rute of discount to five per cont., but this will not prevent the calamity, if ito chouses to insist ou pay meut of his bills, fur they ure bound to give gold for their notes on presenta? tion, und he could thus inuder tho esta? blishment bankrupt in a day, or reduce! io a similar condition all whoso paper ne bolds. The Caspian Sou is depressed upward of eighty-three feet below tho Mediter? ranean, und has an area of 1G0 square miles, lt has no communication with other sens or with tho ooean. The | Russian Government has developed plans for excavating a canal which shall connect tho seu with tho Black Sen, and flood tho Caspian, reo ivering tho great steppes of tho valley of tho Oxus with water, and bringing navigation to within a few hundred miles of Bnlkh. Thnl steamers muy start from Ntobolaieff ai d laud troopsor supplies within a few days' march of the passes of the Himalayas and to turn nil tbe defences of Turkey, arming Persia, and invading the very centre of Asia. There is nothing im practicable in thi* magnificent s?beme, ns a glance ut the map will show. Tin surveys for this canal have been made. New York used to be very proud of her "great fire" in December, 1835, which destroyed (J 71 li o uses, valued nt $12 000,000. ' But she now regurds th? thing us u contemptible f. ?'.ure, nud Heartily ard?ame.i of it. Sand storms from the Colorado and Majavo deserts extend into Eastern Cali forma, ?nd over Dd,000 sheep Lave beti scattered and lost. DEATH OF A DRUMM ER WHO DRUMMED IN FIVE WARS.-Wo clip the following item from tho Columbus ?'tai, of Wedues diy: Mr. Hoory Hat HR, or as he waa botter known. Drummer Harris, died, after a brief illness, in this city, early yesterday morning, in tho seventieth year of bis ago. He hus been concerned in every war in which the Uuitud States have been engaged duriug this coutury. Since the Columbus Guards were formed until the company was incorporated into tho Se? cond Georgia Regiment, he was their \ dri.mmer. Ho was willi thom in the Creek und tho Mexican wars. During tho war of 1812, when only ton years old, bc was a drummer in tho regular United States army in New Yolk and Cunada, sud participtod in the battles on I the border, and was concerned in thu subsequent couQicts with the Indians, j He seemed tough as a lightwood knot, and almost insensible topaiu. Wo have ; seen him in tho camps drive n pin to the ' bend into bis leg to show tho boys what ho could do. Hu prided himself greatly upon his skill ns a drummer, und was in hm glory when tho Guards were on Ty bee. Inland in lSb'l. A mau named Coles, the best drummer we ever heard, who was in the Confederate army over three years and never missed a roll call, came down with Ibo Burke Sharp? shooters. Harris heard him rattling away ono morning in hsi splendid style, becumo disgusted with his own fifty years' practice, applied for u furlough and hus never touched a drum stick since. CHICAGO NOTES.-lt is, indeed, an ill wind thut blows nobody good. It is said that there is not a single indictment left against any accused person in Conk County, Illinois, which is certainly a uieco of good fortune for KOQIU rogues. But, on the other hand, the lawyers have ! suffered severely. Hardly a law library or law office is left; not u paper to ?how that there is a snit pending in uuy of the I six courts of the County; not a judg? ment, not a petition in bankruptcy in tho Federal courts. And worso yet, so far ns is known, till the records of deeds and mortgages ?ire destroyed. Tho Alexis bull in Now York is to be something imposing. Bierstadt is deco? rating the Academy of Music for thu oc? casion. The executive committee sub? scribed $20,000, und 1,000 tickets ure to be sold to approved persons at SlOupicce. "Tho Graud Duke (we uro told) is to be I utrodticcd to uuy number of aspiring young ladies, but he is to be allowed t>> choosJ all Ins own partners. This will do away with one cause of a good many heart-burnings which have characterized previous gatherings of this sort." A RAILROAD DEEDED IN TRUST.-Tho Jacksonville, Pensacola (Flu) aud Mo? bile Railroad, which ia liuisbed um! in running order from Jacksonville to Quincy, Fla., a distance of 185 miles, with a brunch to St. Mark's, u distance of twenty-two miles, hus been conveyed by the stockholders, by a deed of trust, to Francis H. Flagg, D. G. Ambler aud Converse L. Chase. This road received aid from the State of Florida to the amount of $1,000.000. A HonnihliE FIRE IN RUSSIA.-That at tho town of Bogooslay, in which 800 houses are reported as destroyed, tho tiro being tho work of savage fanatics agni ust the Jews, who formed a largo proportion ! of the iuhubituuts of the town. This is much more horrible than anything lu incendiarism reported from Chioago. It is certainly a ouriotiB chemical fact I that thu substances required to form I table salt are both of them poisonous clorido and sodium. No one can use either of these articles separately with safety, and yet combine them, and they form a substance necessary to health und one found upon every table. "Whose pigs aro these, boy?" "The big sow's." "I mean who is their mas? ter?" "That little our; hu whoops 'em all."_ OBITUARY.
