<i??ixL>]iaca-xi.w?LZ:*i3:xo Foreign AfTalr?. LONDON, August ll.-Parliament WUB prorogued at 2 o'clock yesterday after? noon. Shortly before that hour the members of the House of Gommons were summoned to the Chamber of the Peers, where the speech of the Queen, who was not present, was read by royal commission. It is as follows: MY LOUDS AND GENTLEMEN: The time has ooma when you may properly relin? quish the performaooe of your arduous dutioa for a term of repose which has been honorably earned by your devoted assiduity. I rejoice to inform you that the controversy whioh had arisen be? tween my Government and the United States in oonsequehce of the presenta? tion of Amorioaa claims for indirect da? mages under the treaty of Washington, * was composed by the spontaneous de? claration of the arbitrators entirely con? sistent with the views I presented to yon at the opening of the session. In con? sonance with your action on the part of this kingdom, the Parliament of Cauada has passed all Acts neoessary to give ef? fect to the treaty within the Dominion. All arrangements contemplated by that instrument are, therefore, now in pro? gress, and I reflect, with satisfaction, that the subjects with which it dealt no longer offer any impediment to perfect concord between two kindred nations. Since I addressed you at the com- ' m on oe ment of the eeBsioc, I have re? ceived from France a formal notice whioh would bring to an end the oom-11 merojal treaty of 1660. That Govern- j 1 ment, however, has indicated a desire for farther communications. In any i correspondence on the subject, I shall be t guided by an earnest desire to suoure at- i toutiou to the jost olainiB of my subjects, ? by the friendly feelings whioh have BO long united the two countries, and by 11 my conviction of the moral as well as 1J material benefits derived by suoh from fr?e intercourse between them. I had great satisfaction in concluding with Germany a treaty in conformity with I the provisions of the Act of 1870 of fu- 1 gi ti ve oriminals. I am engaged in form- 1 ing similar arrangements with other powers. My Government has taken c steps intended to pave the way for deal- I ing more effectually with the slave trade a ou the East coast of Africa. I have a cheerfully given my assent to an Act of a the Legislature of Cape Colony for the r establishment in that colony of what ia I now generally a known and responsible Government. My acknowledgments are due to you 11 for the ample provision which yon have made for the various oxigeuoies of the public servioa Although the wants and expectations of the oountry seem to out- I strip every effort of Parliament in its c career of legislative improvement, I no- I tice with satisfaction the main additions whioh yon have boen able to make during I i tho present year to our laws. The Aot [ 1 in reference to outrages of natives in the islands of th?* Pacific Ocean is well do-1 ii signed, by providing for more easy and effeotd?l prevention and punishment of thia pjSences whioh it is aimed to prevent, in order to promote the ends of humani? ty and the honor of the Empire. The Act for localizing the army, while it strengthens the defensive ' system of the country, will lend indispensable aid in ) b effecting those important reforms which bav? been approved by Parliament. The Act Which establishes the ballot will assist to secure alike the independence of~ the voter and the tranquillity and parity ot the elections for members of Parliament. Although yon have been nuable daring the present session to ma tare any measures directed against cor? rupt practices in the choice of members of the Hones of Commons, I notice with pleasure that the cognate Bubjeot of mu? nicipal eleotions has had your attention, and that you have presented to me a law whioh is well calculated to check exist? ing evils, and whioh provides a tribunal for trying the validity of such elections By the Soottish education Act you have made provisions for the further extension and greater efficiency of the training of the young throughout Scotland, in ac oordanoe with conscientious, and deep rooted convictions of the people, and with the principles of religious freedom The Act for establishing a local board of government for Ireland, modeled on the English statute of 1871, supplies the maohinery for giving effect io many use? ful laws, and promises to extend within that portion of tho kingdom the solid benefits of popular looal institutions. The measures for the amendment of the Aot of uniformity, based npon careful inquiry and a largo amount of asoer tained consent, has, without offence or shooks, introduced useful modifications into the ancient system of divine wor? ship, to whioh a large number of my people are warmly attaohed. The Aot for regulating the custody and manage meat of the large sams held by the Court of Chancery will relieve a numerous class of suitors in that court from risks and inoonvenienoieB to whioh they may have heretofore been more or less exposed, and likewise tend to increase the statis? tics of oar finances. I am able to speak favorably both of the tranquillity ana the growing prospects of Ireland. The reve? nue is in a flourishing condition. While I cordially congratulate yon on the acti? vity of trado and industry, I hope it will be borne in mind that periods of unusu? ally rapid changea in prices of commo? dities and the prioo of labor are likewise periods which more than ever call for the exercise of moderation and forethought. In bidding you farewell, I ask you to join me in acknowledging the abundant merries of Almighty God and imploring their continuance. LONDON, August 16.-The passage of the repeal of the party processions Aot was generally celebrated throughout Ire land, yesterday, by the Roman Catho lios, and in some places there was disor der. _ At Belfast, while a procession was passing through the streets, it waa stoned by a large crowd of persons.

[ Camden Journal. i SECRET ARCHIVES'-OUTRAGES DURING THE WAR.-A correspondent of tbe Rich mood Dispatch au vs: Io several of your receut issues, you have noticed ut some length the publica? tion at the bands of tbe United States Government of what purport to be the secret archives of the late Confederate Government. The authenticity of these pupers is denied; and it is asserted that they have been trumped up for use in the Presidential oampuigu; yet, eveu if they are authentic, I would ask if this proceeding has precedent in the history of nations? I would like to kuow oven one reason in favor of the decency or fairness of it. The United States Go? vernment, as the administrator of her dead enemy's estate, makes public such portious of these secret papers aB she deems fit to suit her attempted purpose of blackening the memory of that enemy. With a mock-virtuous indignation she says, "See what a wicked, black-hearted people we had to fight; see their diaboli? cal plans for the burning and sacking of our defenceless cities." In tho name of j all houor, fairness and justice, will she dare to show her own secret archives? Will any nation on earth do it? Ought any Government to take this dishonora? ble advantage of another, even though it befallen? Will the United States Go? vernment dare to put her secret archives side by side with these of her late foe? Autheutic or not, no act of the Confe? derate Government, or of any o? RB agents, proves the authenticity of these 1 papers. Unpublished or not, the fires of Columbia, S. C., and from the Valley of Virginia throw a damning light into tho secret chamber at Washington. The moan of the widow turned out of her buruing home in the bitterness of wiuter to die, the sob of the starving orphan, re-echoed from Heaven, tell the story o? what was done. Is it necessary to show her papers that wu may know what was ordered? Wore the men who perpetrated these outrages punished for disobedience of orders or rewarded the highest positious io the United States ?nay? Who is Commander-in-Chief? Who Lieuteuaut-General of Cavalry? Who once ordered tho total destruction ?f everythiug in the Valley of Virgiuia, io that eveu the birds of the air could uot hud sustenance in the desolated land? Was it an officer who found no favor with the Government or people, or is he now President of the Uuitod States? Will the Government dare, I say, to ihow her secret orders, and thus prove that the infamous papers found ou the body of Ulric Dahlgreu were excep? tional; that they were given in the heat >f the momeut, aud that she afterwards repented of and was horrified at them? THE KU KLUX AND THE COLUMUIA , UNION.-Ia the editor of the above men- ( doned paper aware that there is still to j ns found iu each issue a portion of Re- | rerdy Johnson's speech, in italics? We j ?ead that paper every day, but we must ( confess that the said italicized space had . jecome as familiar to our eyes as a stere- \ ityped advertisement of Hostetter's bit- j ;ers, and we ceased to perceive it. We j luve no doubt that most of the readers ] if the Union are in the same condition, ; iud thereby lose that necessary admoui- j .ion to faithfully report all Ku Klux out- j rages which are yet daily perpetrated iu ( ;he land. We would suggest, for the ( lafety of the country, that the Union use c argor type and ohange the typo every t lay until it reaches forty-yard Pica. It ( ivould be better still to print it in red. y ?okeberry juice and molasses, it is said, t nakes a good bloody ink, suited to the ( )ccasion; but it would bo still bettor to . ipply to the Grand Cyclops of the Kill [ ?inky Kuraeter's for real genuino blood, t vhich he always keeps in a demijohn by ( lis side for his whiskey toddies. For j he address of the said Cyclops, the edi- , or may inquire of his imagination-the reueral intelligence bureau of Ku Klux outrages. lu our County the martyrs . ucrease with fearful rapidity. The fol owing aro two cases in point, which lave come to our notice wubin the last jour: George Washington Cuflie; color, * Republican; profession, martyr; number ? il shoes, lo.'.j; politics, black.

Do get that bloody ink, or the Ameri :au republio is lost.-Newberry Herald. A NEGRO FIEND LYNCHED.-A negro lamed John Mitchell, confined in jail at Covington, Tennessee, for attempting to mtrage a young lady and nearly killing tor in the attempt, was taken from the ail last Thursday night by a party of titizeus, who overpowered the jailer, iftor a desperate resistance, and shot Mitchell. He was a desperate character, laving killed two men within the past rear and succeeded in eluding the officers lutil his last outrage. Montana grasshoppers are mora rave lous thuu usual this season. Thoy eat vagon tires, and have been known to ickle a mule in tho ribs until ho kicked, ,nd devoured his shoes while his feet vere iu the air. And old-fashionod thunder storm re lently helped tho quarrymen in Troy, ?. ?., by dislodging about G0.000 feet of tono. The citizens thought a little larthqaako was tramping that way. A fond father in North Carolina, who .?id rejoiced in the advent of nine laughters, recently had his first sou born o him, and signaled the event by naili? ng him Horace Greeley. RIOT IN FAYETTEVILLE.-Advices from Fayetteville, by the boats Tuesday night, give us information of quite a riot on the part of the Radicals, which occurred there about 12 o'clock Monday- night last. This was the occasion of the Cald? well jollification demonstration. There was quite a large procession, there being about 1,000 negroes from the country in town for the occasion. lu moving through the streets the processionists became quite exoited by bad whiskey, and, as a consequence, were violont?y turbulent. They amused themselves while passing throngh the streets by throwing stones into the residences of citizens. This was kept up without check until when they were in the neigh? borhood of what is known as the "half? way bridge," a citizen becoming exaspe? rated by reason of stones thrown into bis bouse, went to his front door and fired into the crowd. This was the signal for a general lawlessness on the part of the shrieking, drunken rabble, who bad already made the night hideous by their yells aud depredations. They returned the fire, and continued iu violent disor? der for some time. During the riot a white man, by the name of Black, had his head cut open with a stave; another white man was shot in tho leg, aud a Mr. Powell had his shoe torn off by a pistol ball. There were but few white citizens out at that hoar, but these few, in de? fending themselves, fired back into the crowd, and several negroes were wound? ed. No one, however, was killed. But for tho late hour, and the fact that most of the white oitizens had retired, the bloodshed would have been greater. Before the riot terminated, the ne? groes tore down the fences around the residences of Dr. S. J. Hinsdale and Maj. J. C. McBae, which were near the scene of the outbreak. That same night they went to the stables of Capt. W. C. Troy, the Senator from Cumberland and Harnett, took his horses oat and were about to burn the stables, but were per? suaded from accomplishing their design by one John Reilly, the Radical Auditor aleot. When our informant left Fayetteville, (early the next morning,) the negroes were going about the streets with clubs in their hands. More trouble was ap? prehended, and it is anticipated that it will end disastrously to the rioters if the litizens are once thoroughly aroused. L Wilmington Journal. MCCORMICK'S GIFT TO THE WASHINGTON fcND LEE COLLEGE.-Mr. Leander J. Mc? cormick, of Chicago, of the firm of C. E. MoCormick & brother, of reaping naokine celebrity, is about to present the Washington and Lee College, of [lexington, Ya., amagnificeut telescope, which is to be larger than any other in .he world. This instrument was ordered in July, 1870, of Clark & Son, of Cam aridgeport, Mass., and will soon be inished. lt is to be twenty-six inch aperture. The comparative size of the rreat telescopes of the world is as fol OWB: McCormick telescope aperture, 26 oohes; London, 22 inches; Chicago, I8}a inches; Cambridge, (United States,) 15 inches; Fulko va, (Russia,) 15 inches. Mr. McCormick also proposes to mount bis telesoope, and io erect a large transit nstrument, and to provide a variety of ither instruments accessary for the BUO ?essful use of so large a telescope. He tlso proposes to build an observatory for hese instruments at Lexington, to be ?quipped in the same manner as the Washington Observatory. When all hese purposes are carried out, Mr. Mc? cormick's native State and County will lossess the best equipped observatory iu he world, and great hopes are enter ained of obtaining from it moro won lerful revelations of the far distant leavens than those which have asto libbed the world for many years poet. FATE OF THE MURDERER.-We are in ormed by a friend of Sumter County bat Suadrick Harris, the perpetrator of he recent murder at Ridgeway, was ap? rehended by our town police as a snspi iioua character on Saturday, the 20th nst. Discharged by them, he took the Sumter Road. At Ben. Wade's plaoe, ie entered the premises, and helped limself to two water-melons, in presence >f Mrs. Wade, threatening her with vio ence, if she gave the alarm. Thence io went to another house, and asked for iread, saying he was perishing. He nade a similar application at Mr. .thames'. That night, he came to the louse of S. Richardson, on Captain .milliard's place, and asked for lodgings in account of illness and inability to ravel. He was kindly cared for, but ;row worse from day to day, and finally lied on Monday, 5th instant. [Camden Journal.

CAUL SCHURZ AND THE GERMANS-How TO FILL THE BLOODY CHABM.-Senator Schurz delivered an able address, Satur? day night, to tho Germans in Chicago, the maBs of the German population be? ing present. He reviewed tbe political situation, Bhowed that the mission of the Grant party was ended, stigmatized its corruptions, ita violations of law, and its unjust polioy towards the South, and maintained that the Liberal party was uow the only true party of national re? form and regeneration. In referring to the South, he said: "If it is necessary to fill the bloody chasm, as Mr. Boutwell said, before peace cnn bo restored, let us throw the Grant party into it, [great applause, j with the thieves and those who have violated the Constitution and the laws, with those who have violated their offi? cial oaths and prostituted their office to personal ends, with those who have beld the highest offices in the Govern meut in order to secure their personal welfare. What can induce us to reject the band extended by the Southern people? Should we not take it and be glad? I do not deny that there have been Ka I Klux in the South within the past live j years, but what is alleged of them now is not true. What was done years ago should not be urged against them DOW. 1 The cry against them should cease. If , any Ku Klux did exist, they would cease 1 the moment an honest Government was given to the South. The reasonB the Grant men urge why we should sustain the Administration are about these: Let oorruption alone-it is of no conse? quence; let us reject these proffers of the South-they are not dictated by loyalty; all we ask is, that you give UB further control of the Government; the country needs it." In conclusion, the Senator addressed himself particularly to his audience as Germans. He said they had come to this country to enjoy the privileges of personal liberty, and they would never submit to become the willing and base instruments of centralization.
