In the country, th charge of supiueuosa has bee hitherto speuhilly observable;. In from the details of the recent ri< in Charleston, wo would say tin th? towns are quite as badly d< Ihoralized. At this particular tinn the need of organization is si premely urgent. Aireadv the n; tive and itnpottcd wings of radica ism have begun to separate an quarrel.

It is high time that Carol jiians, in town and country shonl nee to this. It is high time tin something was done with the sea tered elements of strength now h ing dormant or useless in cvei section of the State. If this L not done, South Carolina may i Avell make up her mind to cndui much further tribulation, no mait( how inuoh carpet-baggers and sea nwags wrangle and divide. "If om half the trouble taken to raise cotton crop were vouchsafed t pave and protect the fctatc, tli most melancholy man would ci long have occasion to crow jub Jant at the change of affairs."

In th last general election the Democrae of the State made a gallant light and reaped throughout the ttppe Districts, the substantial iruits o victory. Sixteen out of the thirty one Districts of the State wen Democratic, and the spirit whicl animated the contest, is si ill felt ii the unbroken unity with which tin white people of the South cling to gether.

If tho j purpose of the authorities is " to Keep the peace," we can only say that they have adapted the surest way to break tho peace and make violence chronic. Ah peace ollieors wo have many objections to the State Constabulary. First. They arc salaried by the StuAe, and not, as peaco ollieers here toforo have boon, paid by the tax costs in tho cases in whith services aro rendered. When you pay a .con: at able by the day, it is Ills interest to break tho pea'ce and get business, instead of keeping the peace. Who ever heard bcl'ore of a suliuied State Constabulary? Second. Peace officers should he taken from the body of the people, knowing their habits of thought, and J possessing their confidence. Strangers Iplaced in a community, armed with [authority to keep the peace, create ! more disturbance than they quiet? 11 their very presence is a source ol .]irritation.

A Fearful' Tra^edy-WI Kan Killed by a Dog. >, On yesterday, wecamo into possession of ihe particulars of a rno^t singular and fearful tragody, which recently occurred in one of iho mountain Counties of this Stale. Tho gentleman from whom we receive our information has requested u? to give neither the name ol the County in which the honi^le scene look plaee, nor the names of the actors in it; in the first pJace, because tho fhmHies of the pnilies ?rc atiiouug tlie beat and moat, respectable ? in lite County, and should not be sul cd to tliis additional m rtification for an act which they can, in no manner, be held responsible; and, in tlie second place, because publicity would now, in no way, -ubscive tlie end* of jistice, as the guilty party has already expiated his crime by 8t> fearful a punishment. We will only pre" face our account of ihe matter, by stating ihat our information was derived from ? welloUnown und highly esteemed gentle nan of lhis;cily, and may be safely relied (i]ion as perfectly correct in every particu lar. *" In one *of tlie mountain- C. unties of Georgia, there lives two families, each before the war notvd for its wealth and refinement. Sinco thft war, tho families, (whom we shall- call re-peclivt-ly II. and L?) though they hnd, like neitrly every one etae, lost everything by the conflict, still retained the high posi'ion in society which th?*y had so lung a time fi led: One of ihein-, the L.'s, lost, several of its members, as well as its fortune, by tire war, and' at the commencement of our story cunsistel of Mr. L., a gentleman ffiiy-fivo year* of age, bi? wife, nearly tire same ngp, and an unmarried d?ughterofabout twenty five. In nliont a qmtrier of a mile of tlterr house, lived one the ll.'s, a young man,, who had recently married- a very beautiful young Isuly of tho C->unty, nml linrvm^j left the paternal mansion, was farming by himself on a smalj tract of groutid. Tho two families lived somo-distance fronv the County town, in a sparsely inhabit*! section of counrly, and being each the nearest neighbor of the o/lier, were, of course, on terms of gieat intimacy. Betwerrt the young wife and the daughter of- Mr. L. a fasi friendship was soon^ formed, being nearly the same age and of similar tastes and disposition,-and relying upon each, ollior for company in lhe daily absence of the two gentlemen, wko were engAged in. supeiiltiendiug tbe biwincssof their fauns. A- few day* sincef Mr. H informs ed liis wife that be Jind received a letter,. ' which would compel immediate attendance in Atlanta, where he would have to remain lor several days, and as it would be incon venient for liim to take her with bim lo that city, advised that she should ask her; , young neighbor to stay with her during his absence. The next morning he set out in bis buggy for Attanla. and hu wire daring '? the morning went over lo L *? house I for the purpose of inviting her yO'nig friend to stny with her. When site arrived there, sho told the young lady of the r absence of heMioSbwid; representing how , lonely slie vrou'ld find her bouse at night, from the f?ot that she employed no house . servant, and her (took, together with the few laborers'employed on1 the farm, *lept nt (he "u^gro quarftr," nearly, half A mil?r from the duelling bouse,' and -ended by asking Miss L to ?p*nd the night* with her until-her Lusb^nd returned-. The yountj lady, after consultation with her mother, readily assented to (he proposition and piomuvd to voine^ov^r during tbo af , U-ruoon. Having accomplished her purpose and feeling very much relieved 'in iirind.Mft. ft returned home, and' . spent the day performing the-usuil house- ; bold duties.

During this dialogue; the dbg, still growl* ing, crouched npon the floor, its if reidy to ppring.
