But -whdre'weare'u# poor, who will be the ' purchaser, or who will bo alio to loan money upon any security which wcoro able to offer ? In default of being able 4o taiae the money by these means, to what can we lesort ? "Wo see noway out vof . the difficulty. Our property will be sold for taxes and in most in stances bought in by the State. Out of the property so sold and bought 'the 8tato will derive no revenue, and hence itie wheels of the Government will be blocked.) . t . - Suppose on the other hand, that we refuse to pay the taxes: The result lirill be that the Government will endeavor to enforce collection, .and our property will be sold and as before, the State witt become the purchaser of so much hon^productive capital.J|?econdly; the State will doubtless endeavor to dispose, of this property by sale, either to wr own people or strangers. Bat oar own people nqi being able J>ay fheir taxes, will surely be equally unable to purchase, nod hence, strangers will be the purchasers. Id 'the meantime, bow will the Goveruwent be carried on ? A great portion ofits revenue failing, and the people being wnable>.as we have demonstrated, to payniHtfe than one third of the taxes thai arc wowbeing- a?K!ssed; we cannot see how the wheels of the Government will continue to revolve.

V On Wednesday morning of fast week, your currtspotident together with scyeral fellow townsmen, sot out for the I > v l f " , C i ' ! ] commercial metropolis bf'njw: Slate:? ' The .weather .was .anything but jplcasaut, although on board .the train wfl managed to shut out the unpleasantness and surround ourselves with an agreeable atmosphere of fun, jokes and other concomitants of good fellowship. After a deal of anortjng:aud blowing on the part of the engine, we were off, and proceeding on our journey, the monotony of which was somewhat relieved by the various jottings, beatings, bangiugs (?) and crasluogs of the car.? Arrived at Kingsvilie, yonr correal pondent wa3 met by a Mend who introduced him to the engineer if the down train, Tiiom^s Tuuse, familiarly called "old Tom Purse," who kindly invited him to a scat on his muffiiire, which invitation was eagerly accepted, and complied with. For forty miles or more, entcrtaiocdby pleasant and genial ."old Tom," your correspondent enjoyed "riding on a raiF Upon the engine, where qbe has the best ogyortduity fur seeing that.tho train affords, and also can find a cheap cure for .dyspepsia, since a pacing horse wiU~oot rack 006 more than on engine will gallop. . After nlany attempts to interest ourselves in conversation, books and the . . . * natural boautics of the route, which, by the way, are very rare, if indeed there arc any at atl, our'party found tlicnfselves at Brauchville, where a very good meal can be procured, whereof we all partook, cxceptono, wlio'ss ho was on the way to a wedding dinner, concluded to save himself for that occasion, and not exhaust his energies on 'fsmall fry," This duuleraUtm being supplied, we a'aiu resigned ourselves anew, to a; I - . Bystem of anti-dyspeptic treatment,', which coutropfid "until we reached Charleston, at 7.50.1^ M., pretty well tired out, and anxious to feci -adme good, solid iriram^fu mam ogain.^ Ilcro the party dissolved, oach Wcndfrg'liY way lo hi.s d " stiiialloy, with wishes for. a pleasant.visits and a safe return. > Of cdurso/lhe first tliing.for n count Irytiffcn io do when in "ttuwo," is to make a bold j^*s to iW^Ehcatrc, or A&idcmypf AJiwic, which your eoS responduntsuc* ecdcd in doioatt Thursday night. hxitlA. were holding forth,' nnd judging from the audience on that night,^must have had a successful engagement. Here wp laughed until the exertion was positively paioful. Your Ctirrcspopdent next betook himself to )Jroad Street, the paradise of bankers and brokers, where wo found that tjitll times./brined the basis and tho head and front of their songs* the money; market .being tight, no business doing aiid ah unprofitable traffic in reading papers and sucking rulers being carried un. East Bay and the wharves presented ft somewhat livelier appearance, and the incessant, rattling of the drays over the pared greets, re minded one of a vast pounding mill in full blast. We paid our respects to the JVcics and Cuttri<&f where we found our brethren oftho press quill driving at u furious rate, or rocking their brains for some -spicy morsel for the public palate. From theso haunts of b'nrinoss, we retired to the quiet of the Battery, where any amount of fresh atr $an be bad for tho inhalafion of it, and a.considerable quantity of dry goods spoiled by thoJ dashing-spray. Oa Saturday morning,."bright and early we took coach for the Depot, arriving just in time to stop the conductor from calling out "til aboard," by informing him that ice were not safely packed away, thereby preventing hitn front treading on the toes of truth unwittingly. Ia there any necessity for us to dwell upon the oft repeated stofy of sleepy men and women, crying ohlf dren, or to relate the number of times we read the papers advertisements and all, or the perilous escapes which we did not have, or any cf tAe misal incidents of railway travelling, or how a lady from New " Yorick" endeavored to, make us believe we were not rocon*. structed and secession crime, and SilERMAN a saint V We will not harrow up your soul by recounting these escapes, but only assure you that we rolied into Camden or vicinity on schedule tiiuo, and very glad to have survived and again own ourselves yonr Subscriber. From the New York World. General Grant's South Caroline. Proclamation. The President's - proclamation, published yesterday, is a foil acknowledgment of the inadequacy of the reconstructed negro government of South Carolina to protect life and pro* perty and maintain order in that .State.

We have had,'at sundry tribes, extensive anti-rent disturbances ip the.State of New York.;, .hat - the State authorities never felt thq need- of any outsider assistance in dispersing the riotersVhjl bringing the ringleaders to to justice. Law and order were at one tiiue subverted in California*; bat the San Francisffd figirnnce committee applied an effectual remedy. The State governments of the South, even during our late civil war, had difficulty in up'lloldih^. domestic order, although they hid a jlargo. population of slaves and most of tliu white- citizens were absent from their homes in the military' servlco'of the Cuiifeiieracy. It is ,nn instructive and most im* pressive illustration df the value of the reconstructed .State government which wero forced upon the South at the point" of the bayonet, 'th^t their vCry authors proclaim them worthless for fu I tilling tlio chief function for Which goverrim'ents are instituted.

They are intrinsically probable. Hqw can. a^goveromcut tli*t,ia,loathed and despised by ail men of character and intelligence maintain order? The reconstructed government "of South Caroliua reeks with the fouW corruption, as even the Tribune has again and again published and declared. The notorious \Vhitteinorc, who was expelled frpru Congress in, disgrace and immediately elected to the State Senate, is ji sample of the kind ofjncn vrjio administer the reconstructed ; government, in that State. Tlie r&kless ejttravacaoce and ban faced robbery I which run riot in the South Carolina Legislature, oppressive taxes it has [ imposed, the enormous .State debt it has piled up, its disorderly proceedings, ignorant debates, and bad laws, have excited tbo coot jengf, dismast and hatred of tlL reasonable men. . It. is not surprising jtW a government .whioh offends the moral sense of; th6 whole community, and is uVorlydestitute of Any Inoral authority," proves incapable of. discharging the ordinary duties of civil rulers., The people of the other States, besides- supporting their own governments, must be taxed heavily for maintaining, troops to prop up the irickoty reconstruction affair iu South Carolina, which is fulling into ruins, not by the dilapidation of age, but in all the newness of recent completion, because it was planned by bad architects and built on 'a rotten foundation. It fails to answer the chief cDd for which alPhooest governments are made; and the Republican party seems to exult iu the hope that the other bastard State governments, it has forced upon the South may prove equally inefficient and incompetent! The Republican leader^ are eager to publish | their own miscarriages and disgrace, beoaose they are glad of any pretext for re-establishing military despotism in the South. "Wo will have wars, And I Khali sutler be.' But the corrupt profits of increased military expenditures is not tho chief reason why they glory in their owu shame, and so exultingly parade evidence that tho reconstructed governments on which they have squandered so much of the pcoplo's money arc incompetent to maintain order, Their main purpose is once more to* create a state of things in tho South favorable to the success of tho Republican party in the Presidential election of next year ?a design worthy of Catalino or the Paris "Reds." - The Connecticut Elections.?

It' was subsequently ascertained that sHe was the wife of one of the fallen. Mr. Laaelle was on his feet almost ins stoutly, unhurt, bat Millsou lay help* leas and moaning on the floor. It 8oems that ho had fallen on hijj side, with bis companion on top of bjita. The -injured man "was carried by Mr. Bearaor and Mr, Lazello through the orchestra door to the stage, and fn a fow moments the stage manager appeared and announced to tho audience that the accident was not serious, Mr. Millsou only having been stunned.' The announcement was received with cheers, and the audience resumed their seats and the performance wcut on. In a few moments the acrobats came again upou the stage and bowed to tbo audience, after which they withdrew amidst hearty applause. \\ hen tho performance was over, Millsou stood at stage door as the audience withdrew.- He was looking pale, but was smiling and speaking to his friends. No boues were broken, and so fur as known no internal injuries were rcoeived. It seems almost miraculous that such an accident should have results of so little seriousness.?Pitts. Chronicle, 23ci.
