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 verdiot of the jury was
"that the deceased oame to his death by
a tree wilfully and maliciously felled
ripon him by John Williams and Wealey
Williams." John and Wealey Williams
are also colored boys, aged eaoh about
ten or eleven years.-Marlboro Times.
THE DUTY OP THE PRESS.-We cordial?
ly endorse the News in the opinion that
if ever the press of South Carolina had
a pressing duty before them, it is now.
Stern issues have passed UH, some of
them unnoticed; but sterner aro before
us. The Government organ hos said
enough to give us a forecast of tho things
to come, and we must fearlessly meet
the issues. Too often have wo sup?
pressed manly Bpeeob. Let us do so no
more.-Marion Crescent.
DEATH OF DB. B. A. BODRIQUES.-We
are again oalled upon to chronicle the
death of a prominent member of this
community. The eminent dentist whoso
name heads this notice died yesterday
afternoon, at 5 o'olook, after a few boure'
illness, in the flfty-sevonth year of his

The Alleged "Whipping of Mr. Hytterv
uerg-Ait Indignant Denial fruin trie
Victim.
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.

of "Ryttenberg." Truly, yours,

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

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

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."_
