COLOMBIA, &tG. ->*" *: % -i* $?7 Baturday Morning, October 4, 1873. The Soouhgks.?The reports of the revagee of the yellow iovsr in ShrsT? port, Louisiana, oontiuuo to be of a melancholy character. Already more than 400 of the small community have boen awopt away, and there are now at least 700 sick of all ages, requiring constant and skillful nursing. These facts are stated in an appeal from the Howard Association, which has opened I au orphan asylum iu Bhreveport, and is feeding about two-thirds of the resident population. If there are fewer deaths aod new oases than there have been, the fact is assigned to the terrible cause that there are fewer people. The com? mittee report that their resources are nearly exhausted, the wealthy broken down, the poor threatened with starva? tion, the Biok and dying about to be deprived of tho commonest somforts. There are also 100 people, including many women and children, left without employment or the means of subsist? ence. The destitution is said to be as heart-rending as the disease itself. Henoe an earnest appeal is made to other sections ' for aid. The develop? ment of the diaeoBQ this year in the South-west appears to extend over a wide area, and yet we hear less of it at New Orleans than almost auy other point. At Memphis, it has been sovcro, and from thenoe through nearly all the country to the Southern ooasl line, it has shown itself to a more or less de? gree. Along the line of the railroad below Montgomery, Ala., coming up from tho coast, more than half the population wore ill of the fever. Tho disease originated iu Pensacola, uud thenoo crept up along tho line of tho road: Tho, residents of infected locali? ties hurried away-as fast as possible, and the Pensacola and Louisville uud the Mobile and Montgomery roads were filled with the fugitives. In couse queuoo of this hegira, uud because of the fact that many of the fugitives had stopped in Montgomery, the Mayor of Shat. toVo issued a proclamation, to be in force ?ntil revoked, refusing all per? sons permission to stop in the city who muy have aooie direotly from New Or? leans', Pensacola, Mobile or Pollard, or from the-Gulf coast of Texas, and from places along tho I$ed River. Shortly afterwards the disease broke out iu Montgomery, and the citizens in turn fled. A snbsidenoe of the disease may now soon be expected, but at Shrave port there in evident great distress from the work of' death already executed. The South-west has been scourged this year, first by the oholera, which waB more than usually virulent, and then by the yellow fever. What Nashville suf? fered from cholera,"and more, Shreve port has Huffored from the fever. The New Orleans Picayune says: "Late udvioes from Avoyelloa and ad? joining parishes are of rather a gloomy nature. It seems that in some sections of these parishes, the caterpillar has nearly destroyed the cotton crops, that the sugar orop has been very much in jtuud t>y rain, that tho stubble was not worth oultivatiug, aod that, to cap the climax of all calamities, sections of these parishes have been ufllioted by sickness that has iu some instances almost amounted to a pestilence. Iu the little post ofllce village of Evergreuu, iu AvrJyelleB, we are informed by letter that there have been over twenty-live interments during August und onedialf of September. This village has not ap? parently over 150 inhabitants. Sumo ot the most prominent citizeus have died iu that neighborhood, and a well-known planter hus lost alt four of his chil? dren." The Last of the Modocs ?Captain Jack and bis prinoipal warriors were ex? ecuted at Fort Klamath, Oregou, yester? day, The President interfered at the luBt minute and commuted the sentence of two of the braves to imprisonment for life. And so ends the Modoo trou? bles. Savages by nature, birth, inherit? ance and habit, this handful of men, for long, weary mouths, defied the power of the mightiest nation of the oivilized world, and at last only succumbed to treachery. Captain Jack may have been a murderer, but he was a valiant and skillful toldier as well. His hanging is an event worthy to be remembered in American history, as it is nothing but a judicial murder, perpetrated by the au? thorities of the Federal Government. The poor Indian had a right to be tried by the criminal laws of the country and by a jury of twelve meu, and not before a military commission, composed of of? ficers of tho very army upon which ho had brought opprobrium aud reproach, und who were still hot with anger be? cause of the death of their comrades who hud f?llen by his hand. Au em balcucr consummated a bargaiu with Captain Jack for his body after death, but tho officials refused to recoguize it, eliiiming the body as the prf.vi rtyof the Government.: ? . ? ?xm*7%*tokwisuffj*& "was*.. Wauualli, October 1,1878. ! A public meetlDg, composed of not less than 1,000 persona, was held in this place, ye?terday, in the interest of the Aug??ta, Hfirlwell sad Qolnsabia Bail road. This is a road which has been projected to run from Augusta, through the Counties of Columbia, Lincoln, El bert and Hart, in Georgia, and crossing the Savannah River at Audersouville, in this State, to continue through the fork of Anderson County and through Coo nee, termiuating at Walhalla. It was ohartered by the Legislature of Georgia iu 1869 and amended in 1870. Origi? nally intended to go to Clayton, and keep on the West side of the Savannah, it is privileged under the amendments of its charter to oouoect with a branch leading to Walhalla, and has a guarantee of State endorsement of its bonds of $15,000 a mile by the State of Georgia, upon the completion of every teu miles of road. It has now formally adopted the route to Walhalla, and the company has been organized under the name of the Augusta, Hartwell aud Walhalla Railroad. At this organization lately iu Augusta, Mr. Moore, of that city, was ohosen- President, Col. E. F. Harrison, of AodersoD, Vioe-President, with di? rectors from each County through which it is to pass. Its length is computed to be 117 miles, and the cost of construc? tion to be not more than 016,000 a mile. The meeting was addressed by Col. E. F. Harrison, of South Carolina, Hon. E. M. Bnoker, of Elbert County, Geor? gia, Dr. Love, of Franklin, North Caro? lina, and Mr. AnBell, of the same place. Muj. James H. Whituer, one of the di? rectors of this place, presided and intro? duced the speakers. An amateur band furnished very agreeable music, aud a bountiful collation wus served on long tables spread in tho shady grounds of the browery, a feature of which was a table for the colored people. Excellent order was preserved throughout, the speakers listeued to with intelligent interest, and a general oonviotion secured of the desirableness and ad? vantage of tho contemplated road. In the afternoon, the influence of John Barleycorn was manifested iu the excite? ment and turbulence of a few porsous, but nil passed off with compirativ? quiet. -~ Col. Harrison, in a plain, straight? forward and effective address, placed the merits of the road iu a favorable light. He Buid that it wus tho shortest and cheapest route from this point to salt water, and tho best unappropriated location in the Southern Status for a railway. It passed through a rieh belt of 100 miles in breadth, lying between tha Georgia Railroad on the West, aud the South Carolina reads on the East, and directly along the Savanuah River Valley, which was unsurpassed in fer? tility and unexcelled in its immonse water power. Ho considered the pros? pect of building the road to be a good one. The city of Augusta had agreod to build the first twenty mi!us out and to secure the right of way and depots and lots for the use of tho roud iu the city. This would cost 8500,000. The Georgia Counties would contribute as follows: Columbia, $25,000; Lincoln. 860,000; Elbert, 8100,000;Hart, 800,000; and if Ooonce County and the town of Walhalla would raise 8200,000, he thought that, with porf-evt rauce and unity of etl'ort, the enterprise would succeed. They had the Georgia State guarantee of $15,000 a mile, and a first mortgage of itn bonds to fall back upon, if necessary. Mr. Rucker followed, aud command? ed attention by the comprehensiveness of his views, the fairness of his state? ments, aud his equally scholarly and practical treatment of the subject. He estimated the cost of the road to be about 82,500,000. This would bu large? ly expended along the line, and a deve? lopment would ensue from its comple? tion which would enhance tho value of lauded property at least three fold. With iucroused population nud tho de? velopment of a vast manufacturing inte? rest, would c?oiu welcome additious to population, and with diversity of pur? suits would be uflordud those opportuni? ties to ovary sort of talout aud every va? riety of tastes which cannot be found iu communities which are devoted exclu? sively to farming and planting. Tho more diversity, tho bett.-r tho condition of a people to sustain thoso reverses, prostrations nnd changes which are in? evitable iu this life. lie pointed to the mills of Augusta aud Mncou as con? clusive of the question of tho value and practicability of manufacturing in tho South. They were the most prolitablo of any in the world. The distauco be twoou Chicago and New York was tho samo us between J^bioago and Port Rnyal, and once direct communication was established between tho latter points, the North-west would not re? ceive tho West India and South Ameri? can produots through New York as now. Tho carriage of 700 miles woonld be saved?the distance between the South Atlantic ports aud New York city. Ho estimated the trade of the Wost IudioB seeking an American market to be 880,000,000, and that of South America to be 8100,000,000. To these practical considerations, be presented the addi? tional oue of the love of the beautiful, which would be promoted by tho con? struction of this road along the valley of the Savannah?a valley which, iu native grandeur 'and charms, is not inferior to that of the Hudson River. Dr. Love was not at all oumplimentary to tho Blue Ridge Railroad. Ho Buid that "it was too dead to skin," but ad? mitted at the same time that it was a strike in the right direction. He repre? sented his people as thirsting aud hun? gering for railroad facilities. They had a delightful and highly productive County, but no outlet. They are look? ing auxioiisly for .the oouneotion to be made of the North-west and the South Atlantic, which will embrace them in its '! fli'j ,., . ,": :? ? oourae. . Rabuu Gap is but 2,0*4 feet above tide water, and was depressed by the Great Creator expressly for a rail? road to pass through it. The Tennes? see River has only eight feet fall to the mile in twenty miles to Franklin, and fho ftVAMM foil for eight* silcs on is but sixteen feet to the mite. . It would seem as if God had opened this gently descending volley also expressly for the iron horse to traverse.' The North Caro? lina Legislature had granted to his (Dr. Love's) application a most liberal char? ter for the portion passing through that 3titC| sud had luioVoi exempted ii frodi j taxation. He illustrated the anxiety and the hopes of his people by a little anecdote of a eertaiu old "Tom," a co? lored man of his acquaintance, who hud not always strictly regarded the lawa of property. When water-melons, fruits, pigs and poultry, with their aavory temptations, weighed iu tho balance, to? gether with Tom's undisciplined appe? tites, the slight sense of the difference which he felt between maim and tuum, kicked the beam, and Tom's honesty went up with it. Thin old sinner was at last brought under conviction at a camp meeting. Seeking a retired plnee, he wrestled earnestly against his evil pro peusitios. In this he was encouraged by one of the clergy, who felt au iute rest in him. He urged Tom to perse? vere, saying to him, among other things, that iu Heaven there was no diHtiction of color; that all who reached it would have white robes and have fair skins, ?fco. Old Tom's face lighted up with a smile which shone through hin tears at this prospect, and ho blubbered to his friend: "Breas do Lord, massn, I tink 1 seo do white a-somiDg." Tho Doctor, who is a Senator )u the Statu Legisla? ture of North Carolina for his County, with muoh force and a good deal of humor, showed tho urgent )ieed of n \ road through the mountains Ho would have boeu more just, however, if he had disoriminatoi], iu bis implied cen? sure of the Blue Ridge Road, betwuou the origiual coneeptiou of the road nod its earlier management, and the more recent flagrant mismanagement und fraud which have impeded its further progress. Ho wan a little disposed, too, to depreciate tho Butt Mountain Gap and the practicability of u railroad through it from Spartauburg to Asho ville uud ou to Wolf Creek. But iu our view both roads are uecessary, and both will be built. Columbia is hardly less interested iu the latter than she is in the development of ber tine water power. Chiulest on, too, is bound to come to the xescue of this road. The Western hide of tho Stute, also, greatly need.-*, and must, havo, ere a grent while, a road from this poiut or Anderson, or one from both, to Augusta or its neighbor? hood, couuecling with Port Royal und Charleston, uuil iu tho other direction stretching across the mountains to Kuoxville, whence it will take its COUrsO to the cities of the North-west. Dr. Anuell, a native of tho town, made a few remarks, aud the mooting ad? journed to dinner. All passed oil agi eo ubly. We had the pleasure, a few days ago, of meeting Cul. C. F. Hampton, just dowu from Cashier's Valley. Ho nnd Col. Burt, of Abbeville, represent the temporature there this summer to have bocu delightful, the thermometer never rising higher th.tn 76. There are valua? ble minerals iu all this mountain region. Cel. Hampton had some beautiful speci? mens of ooruudum, tichly colored, some quite rnby-likc aud taleose slate. We have also been shown some excellent specimens of mica, got out near here, and rooks rich iu gold and silver. Wo have met with muoh kindness in this place, and leave its excellent peo? ple and beautiful mountain views, now becoming richor and more varied us tho autumnal days advance, with real re? gret.

The riding by the knights began at about 11 o'clock in the morn? ing, and closed at 1 P. M. Tho per? formance was rather tedious and dull, from luck of uystem, but tho ruling it 6elf was very good. After thin exercise, the people gatbered at the Hchool-house in the grove, where there was an abun? dance of ice crenu, cakes, lemonade, etc., of which they partook freely. Thou Cime dinner, which was prepared in the regular barbecue stylo, with OoiTco und Other l.lXOrieS. As tho whole entertain? ment was gotten up to raise funds for ohnrch*purpo8C8, tickets to dinner were freely purchased at ?fty oeuts each, aud the long tables tilled at least twice. Tho income from sules of tickets aud the extras in coffee, cakes, ice cream, etc., must have been considerable. After dinner came tho speaking. First, Mr. T. P. Slider, of tho Progres? sive Age, made a handsome epeech, ap? propriate to the success of the tourna? ment; at the oloso of which be awarded tho premiums to the victorious riders. Silver cups wero presented to Messrs. D. A. Dickert and C. S. Hill; a fine bridle to A. Bozardt, and a spur to Mr. A. O. Dickert. One of tho young ladies bud constituted herself a judge of tho best riding; and Mr. Slidor had to per form the pleasant task of presenting a I beautiful bouquet to Mr. C. S. Hill, ns the result of her decision. At tho close of this oxereise, Col. D. Wyatt Aikeu took the stand aud ad? dressed the farmers and grangers on the mission of the granges and on their duly at this particular time. He ad? vised farmers uot to sell a bale of cottou for sixty days, and thus compel its rise to tweuty flvo cents per pound iu gold. G. Young Harris, who killed Talbot iu Paris, Ky., somo months since, has had an examining trial, aud was held to au HVfar in $12,000. He g:?ve the bail and wai released.

Auf ?Zuuiu! publication oi .the result' of the election bad been made. Mr. Hoyt said tbat ho would call his Board together at once to con? sider the protest. Tho protest sets forth: That the said eleotiuu wus not con? ducted in accordance with the pro . iuions of the Act of Assembly in sundry essen? tial particulars. The managers of elec? tion, for each polling place, were not duly appointed by the Commissioners of Election, iu accordance with the law and the requirements of the third sec? tion of said Act. The commissioners aud managers did not take the oath of oflloe prescribed by the Constitution. The polls were not opened at such votiug places iu each ward us were designated by tho commissioners No official noti? fication was given of the voting places in each ward, aud thu voting piaces in several wards were changed without no? tification. The managers did not iu any ease "administer to euoh person offering to vote an oath that they were residents of the city of Charleston." The r.amo of each person voting wus not entered ou tho poll list. The managers allowed ballots to be deposited not being in ac cordauce with requirements in relation to ballots to be used. Upon closing tho polls, aud bifore leading the* same, the managers did not ou.-o proceed to count publicly the votes, aud make return of the result thereof to the commissiou ers, aud did not at tho same time deli? ver to the commissioners the poll iisls, ballot-boxes and ballots. Tho managers allowed persons to vote who were not entitled to vote. The managers refused to allow persona to vote who were enti? tled to vote. Thu Act of Assembly to regulate the election of Mayor aud Al? dermen of the city of Charleston, under which said eleotiuu was Leid, was void, because the said Act repeals in part ami amends the said charter in sundry par? ticulars. n.> notice having been pub? lished of the pruposi'tl amendments prior to the meeting of the General As? sembly at which sncli Act was passed, us required by law.

Other matters of inte? rest were also debated, aud it is believed that the result of the meeting will prove beneficial.
