FIRE IN WILLIAMSBURG DISTRICT.-We regret to learn, says the Kingatree Star, ot the 18th instant, that the dwelling house of Mr. Thomas M. MoCutohen, in the neighborhood of Indiantown, was destroyed by fire on Sabbath ovening last. The fire originated on tho top of the building, and was caused by a spark from tho ohimnoy. Mr. McOatohon's attention wus first attracted to the fire by a negro who happened to be passing along the road at the limo. With the asnistance of this man, Mr. McOutohen succeeded in saving his bedding, cloth? ing and a part of bis furniture A little gill having noticed that after her mother's toilet there was invariably a sprinkling of powder on tho carpet, obsorved, on seoing the snow, tho other morning: "See, mamma, the angols have been using the poudre de rit!" i E-DiTQSji or TUX VucRsix; In a'parinl Mu?

But the County Trea? surer eoom a to have learned aome lessons from Parker's tactics-a new system of book? keeping.

Alloua. Tlie Lunatic Asylum. To THE EnrroBS or TUK PHOSXIX: Despite my indisposition to appear in tho public prints, it is due to my honor that I should adopt tho present means of exculpating my? self from ths responsibility, which you said editorially, yesterday, in an ar tide entitled "Another Swindle Exposed-The Lunatic Asylum and Coal," attaohes to "some of the regents" of that institution. ; The bia tory of the transaction yon alluded to isBUCoinotly this, so far as I am concerned: At a meeting of the Board of Bogante, held | on the 8th of September last, Dr. ?naor, the Superintendent of the Asylum, made a report, in which, amongst other matters, he called attention to the faot that.a quantity of coal faiad been delivered at the asylnm without his ! order, and without the knowledge of the ? steward, and added, that maa much as the .transaction waa directly in violation of the j by-law?, which require all purchases for the institution to be made auder the direction of the Superintendent, he wished the Board to adopt some certain pr notice on the subject, in order that be might govern himself accord? ingly. Inquiry developed the faot that Mosers. Taylor and Crews, claiming that they had j heoa appointed by tho Board a committee for this purpose, had famished the coal in a quantity said to amount to loo tons. ' Having no recollection of tbe appointment of any such committee, and being iu possession of no oflfmal information to that effect, I noil-1 fled tue Board that I should withhold my ap-1 ! proval of the bill when it waa presented; but moved "that when the bill for the freight ot the ooal was presented, the Superintendent ha authorized to endorse the approval of the i Board upon the eaim>"-regarding this as a ??implo act of justice to tho South Carolina Itaifroad Company, which had furnished tho tranaportatiou. This motion waa adopted, ami, immediately afterwards,! offered tho following resolution: j Whereas tho moaning of Section C. of the I by-l?wa "adopted by the Board of Begonia for the .government of thia institution, seoma to haveneen miaintorpreted heretofore: Resolved, That hereafter the Board will not pay any billa for the supplies of the institu? tion, the purohaae of which waa not author? ized io writing by tho Superintendent. Upon tho paaaugo of this resolution I called the yeas and naya, and it waa loat by a voto ot yeas 2, naya 4- ouo other regent and myself voting in the affirmative. This virtually ended the transaction, ao far aa 1 am concerned. Neither officially, nor otherwise, do I know how, or when, tho com? mittee claiming to have boeu authorized to make tho purchase of the coal waa appointed. Nor do I now know of whom, or by whom, it was bought; how much ot it waa delivered at the asylum, or to other parties, if any at all; whether it has boan paid forby ibo aay hun, or by anybody else; or bow mueh, if any, ia on hand now-except BO far aa I have derived my information on these subjects from tho com? munication of Dr. Ensor, published in your iaauo of yesterday. I have been preaont at every mooting of tho Board, as Jar aa my recollection extends, which has been held during tho past twelve months; and, whilst courting the must rigid I scrutiny of all my ofiloial acts, I appeal to the ['record to prove that, in tho discharge ot my * duties, I nave been actuated wholly by the most siooero desire io promt.io tho boat inte? resta of an institution wnioh appeal? alike to private and public humanity for its protection and maintenance. HENRY SPARNICK. THE QBEAT WEST.-Few people really realizo how many uorea are unoccupied in tho great Weat. There are eleven Territories, two or three of which are twice or three times aa lat gd as all New England; and it is a small Territory that is not at least ten times as large as Mas? sachusetts. Colorado is thirteen times as large as Massachusetts, while Dakota and Arizona are half as largo again as Colorado. The eleven Territories con? tain over one billion and a quarter nores, exceeding by nearly two hundred thou? sand square miles the aggregate territory of all the present admittod ?States of the Union.

The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston Courier says; Some time ago, there was introduced Si the' House a bill to "incorporate tho rand Council of the Independunt Or? der of United Brethren of Sooth Caro? lina. The preamble of the bili is aa fol? lows: "Whereas the farmer, mechanic and laborer have but little or no opportu? nity, by reason of their daily vocation, tb avail themselves of the benefits do rived from the free school system, and wishing, through a charitable and bene? volent association, to furnish a source for the general diffusion of knowledge to that claus of our citizens above alluded to; therefore," etc. This apparently innocent document was referred to the Committee on Reli? gious and Charitable Institutions, of which Mr. J. E. Hogood is the Chair? man. With an innocence that was natural, the Committee were misled by the spe? cious preamble, and submitted a favora- ! ble report, under the impression that the order was what the preamble pur- ' ported it to be. Bot au enterprising j Republican, who had a keener adapta bility for nosing ont these things, has | just ascertained that this United Breth? ren is nothing more nor less than a kind of independent Ku Klux organization outside the Union League, composed of sworn adherents to tho Governor, and having for its object tho perpetuation in power of the present Stato dynasty. The matter was found out by a promi? nent State official, who is not in thc riug, and who attended a meeting of the ooucern. Prince Rivers, a sable repre? sentative from Edge?eld, is the grand chief of this dusky Ku Klux, and none but sworn friends of Oov. Scott aro to bo admitted to its conclaves. There is a chance for Major Merrill, Mr. Corbin and Judge Bond-a veritablo conspiracy of the worst order, and the strong arm of the Government, which has been stretched over this laud of ours for the past six months, will lind moro work, if it is in earnest. Tho only way in which Gov. Scott and his Ku Klux can avoid indictment, is to pledge the order to the support of Grant. It is stated that the new Ku Klux will bo armed with State arms and paid out of "monies not other? wise appropriated.". The Now ?ork Tribune Baja: "The Hight of Dr. Avery, one of the arraigned members of the South Caro? lina Ku Klux, will demoralize still fur? ther tho 'Conservatives' of that region." No ono in this region is surprised or demoralized at the escape of tho Doctor. The wonder is, that every man who has charges preferred against him before the South Carolina court, who has a chance of escaping, don't do so. A deoeut white man stands very little ohanoe be? fore a court orowded with low, illiterate, purchased negro witnesses, and proaidod over by such bigoted partisans as Judge Bond and his associates.

DEATH or A WELL-KNOWN COLOR KO CITIZEN.-Dudley Ta?j?y, well known io all the (?>ld citizens of Greenvillebiiy and County, died ?t, his reaide??e, in Green? ville, on Saturday, morning, 6th instant; Sged seventy-three. He was a remarka? ble negro in many re?p^et?. When a slave, belonging to the late Captain D. Long, ba earned for himself near $800. He bought the 'freedom of his son for $800. The son, unfortunately, died soon after. He remained a slave t?? after his master's death. Having accu? mulated some $150 prior to the sals of | Captain Long's personal property, seve? ral years before the war, he requested a gentleman, in whom he.had confidence, to buy him at the sale and giVe him his liberty, and that ho .would repay tho sum, which was $050. This waa done. Truo to his word, he, by little and little, added to the $150, extinguished the debt. He also accumulated sufficient to buy a boose and lot, and died owning real estate of considerable valne. Dud? ley was respected for hts industry, bo? nos ty and native good 'sense. '' He was a moral ?md religious man, having for many years been an active member of the Baptist Church. He waa attached to his friends, white and black, He bad a great regard for Rey.

I ed much of her territory on the South to the new County of Aiken, and now there, seems to be a probability that abo will have to give np a large nook oh the Northern side to the proposed new1 County of Ninety-Six. A petition for tho establishment of this new County to be formed from portions of Edgefield, Abbeville, Newberry and Laurens, with the Court Houso at Ninety-Six-is now bi'foro the Legislature. As regards the mutter, Edgefield baa no territory to spare, and yet we feel assured, from all we know and hear of this project, that ita success will make Edgefield, Abbe? ville, Lauren? and Newberry-each ono -n Democratic unit. The new County will cou tain at the outset a large colored or Republican majority, and will, in all probability, bo a haven and refuge for Republican voters, who will migrate thitherwards, in immense numbers, from all four Counties, leaving the said Coun? ties tindor tho control of Demooratio majorities. This promising to bo tho case, we havo nothing to urge against tho formation of the new County. Oar Domocratio friends in the new County, however, must not understand us as be? ing in the slightest degree pleased at any disadvantage which may accrue to thom from the new arrangement.

She is now forty-flvo years old, and is almost white; even the scalp of her head is perfectly white, withont injury lo her hair. Her hands are very tender, smooth and white. Any one wishing to soo her will find her not far from Ross? ville. Hore is a ohanoe for some South Carolnian to make money, as some peo? ple make it fashionable to attend shows. JOSEPH H. STROUD.

Th^^*i^?!?^<x^^^^^^the , New ?orl Journal of ?ommeroe Wtee ?a account o?? the "Beaobien and Miranda olaim,'' which pretends to title to the preposter?os amount- of 4,500 square miles of land in Mexico, embracing ranchee already occupied by mere than 15,000 settlers. The correspondent says : "Ibis, land grant claim, from its im? mense area, the illimitable valu? ?f the precious metals and other valuable mine? rals supposed to be contained within Its assumed limit?, and the doubt and un? certainty in which the title is clouded, may no distant day be wrapt in litiga? tion that will-make it ? ciuss celebre. The claimants propose to have their olaim confirmed by Con groe B in toto- the wholo 4,500 square miles-by a sp?cial Act. It is said that they look upon lia passage as a matter of business between capitalists and Congressmen* like a bar? gain and sale-an Act of Congress for a sum of mopey, For the past: two mouths, their agents have been fast paving the way."- :<'.,,. It appears that when Secretary Cox was in-office, he refused to entertain the qlaim stall tormore than twenty-two leagues-the .limit of Spanish .or Mexi? can grants under their laws. Since Se? cretary Cox was retired, the claim bas been got into shape . to bring before Congress. POSTAI. GUM Dsops.T-'What will the "ingeniousYankee*' doviso next?
