There is an old fable which relates, that on one occasion a wolt and a lamb inet at 1 1 1 ?*.i~k ?k?? iimi hoth ffone for a orooK 10 wmvu ??.vT ? 0? the purpose of drinking. The wolf, wishing to provoke a quarrel, charged the lamb with muddying the water. The lat_ tor attempted to show that thi&wa? impossible, as his enemy was above him on the stream; but no excuses were accepted. ^ and the lamb was made the victim of the difficulty thrust upon him, and devoured. The moral of this fable fits well in South Carolina at the present time. Radical speakers and Radical journals have left all other topics, and are exhausting thei%: selves in an attempt to provoke a ' war of! races." Wallace, Patterson, Mackcy, Leslie and 1 Other oratory address violent and inflammatory harangues to the negroes, telling them that their rights arc in peril, that the whites are arming for war, that the "Rifle Clabs" are Ku-Klux organizations, that the whites will take forcible posses, sion of the polls at the coming election, and other things equally false, but equally calculated to excite fear and provoke hostility. The Columbia Cnion-Herald, while having the sauie object in view, is more adroit as to the methods employed to accomplish its purposes. The difficulty at Kidgc Springs, for example, was at first treated Tory jestingly, as a very small matter; when this view of the matter would answer no longer, the whole responsibility was thrown upon the white people, who were charged with conspiracy to kill the blacks, and, aided by the Georgians, inaugurate a "war of races." Since that time every article from the Northern press, which, being the product of combined ignorance and prejudice, dwelt upon the helplessness and i wrongs of the black man. and the vio i lence and cruelty of I he whites, the inevi table necessity of a '*war of races" growing out of the persistent and determined aggrewions of the latter upon the rights i of the former, the duty of the general < government to interpose for the protection , of its wards, and the wrongs and injustice of the "democratic" governments of the < South, has been sedulously copied into its i columns and displayed with flaming cap- < tions. On the other hand, the editorial department, while coutinually harping i upon the "war of races," deplores the ; signs ef its approach, and warns the col- i ored people to avoid anything like vio- < lence. When charged with a malicious i intention to foment civil discord, this < journal, of course, repels the imputation 1 ? ' * with virtuous horror. Its selected articles i are only intended to inform the Kepublicans of the State of the sentiment of the i American people; a race conflict would be the greatest imaginable calamity to the negroes of tbo South. The idea in this double-handed course is obvious. A conflict of races must be i provoked, but the responsibility must full upon the whites; the water must be mud died, but the lamb must be held liable for it. Confusion it necessary to the life of the party now in power. The turmoil and seething of the war brought the scum to the surface, around which it has since been circling in gleesoir.e prosperity. Let the discordant elements subside, and the ! surface become smooth; let normal poiiti-, cal influences have sway for a short time, -? aii. L- Tkfl P..! aim vuo pvuui wwav *mv amiuivmi | rulers of South Carolina can live uo where i else than in a mnddy pool. Tho light of sober common sense will reveal their misdeeds aud unworthiness to the most ignorant and unroflecting. Political agreement between the two elements of our population will consign them to oblivion, or to the penitentiary. The real issues now before the people leave them no 1 ground to stand upon, and they know it; hence these issues must be hidden, a cloud ( must obfuscate the intellect of the con- < etituency, the water must be muddied. When the trouble finally couics, these ' spotless politicians will throw all the blauie J upon tho "Democrats," disloyal and blood- v thirsty rebels, and fly to the sheltering fc arms of President Grant, as men persecu ted because they aro Republicans. The [I Federal power will then be brought to J.1 bear, aud United States troops will be! j sent to South Carolina to sustain these j lj men. whose cause is that of the Union, the constitution, and the supremacy of law. The Radical leaders in this State alone desire a ' war of races." The negroes do not want tt, because its consequences would be disastrous to theui. If left to their own impulses they would never do anything to provoke hostility. Thfjir interests arc identified with those of the white man, and the most complete harmony marks their intercourse in the ordinary affairs of life. The same concord and good feeling would exist in their political relations, did not the wolves persist in muddying the water. The whites want nothing so much as peace. They have no feelings of hastility towards their colored fellow-citizens, except so far as these allow themselves to bo made the tools of thieves and oppressors. They arc willing to concede to theui all of their rights, and wish to sec them prosperous and happy. *"?

To the lcry respectable gentlemen, thf, Committee of Reply of the Kcrshmc Base Base Ball Club. Brethren, Knight* of the Bat, deathmen: When the great Athenian states, man and patriot was ostracised by his ungrateful countrymen on account of his zealous and able, but unsuccessful efforts to serve thorn, he did uot abandon his country, but watched over her from Acgina, even as a hen from her roost watchcth over her nest, and at a critical moment he came to succour iicr with important information and with the wisdom of his counsel. Now, there is a remarkable sitn ilitudo between Demosthenes and myself. L havo been your zealous champion against all comers, and if the lady at Signor Kut andkouieagaino's had waited to heaf me, I am persuaded your Committee would have been charged with the duty of obtaining a copy of my speech for publication, as a triumphant vindication of " the healthful, manly, and most respoctable game of Base Ball," (and. gentlemen, I called it ' noble" and ' wlmuab/c" too.) But she would uot stay to hear me, and I could only be silent, or speak my speech to nothing, which I was afraid might seem too absurd. Yet, for such zealous chainpiouship, I have been ostracised. I have been vilely spoken of by your Committee. I have had words put into my mouth, and thoughts put into my head, which I have never uttered, nor thought, nor heard, from any body but your Committee. Notwithstanding all this, my love for the Club is unabated, and now, like Demos thcncs, from Acgina I conic to bring you important information, and to assist you with the wisdom of my counsel. For lo! I bring you a letter from the lady her self", in which she gives up the halfuttored word which has proven so cantankerous, ind authorizes you, or any person, to select out of the whole vocabulary any other word, which, in your judgment, may be most proper. But now, take my oounscl, for the Athenians took that of Demosthenes. Do not make choice of the new word too hastily, but depute the gifted writer of your Committee's chaste and eloquent "lleply," and let him proceed straight to New York and consult the spirit of the illustrious Greeley as to what word you shall select. And while he is there, let him improve the opportunity to stucv the " mum dialect." To a person of his remarkable talents, a know!* adgc and use of that dialect would b<> invaluable, and, perhaps, gentlemen, it might be serviceable to you all. And. now, gentlemen, happy to be received again into the bosom of my beiotcd Club. I forget the sorrow and tribulation T lirivo Kiifli-red at. vour hands, and for vnnr sake, and proudly subscribe myself, Most respectfully, Your brother Knight of the Hat, Jack Si-rat. P. S.?I suljuin the lady's letter : To Jack Si-hat. Knight of the Hat and Hall. /><</; Kit?Learning that uiy brief conversation with you at the exhibition rooms of the mountebank-barber, Kutamlkome j againo, (whom you metamorphose into the j marvellous thauuiaturgist, Signor Kutaud- j komcagaino.) has caused sumo excitement,! and even irritation, among your worthy : confreres, the votaries of the Hat and Hall,. I address you this note i? explanation and justification of my conduct and language. You should bear in mind that, ex i fu/j>oth'ti} 1 nui not in South Carolina,1 and cannot estimate the character and conduct of her people except as I see I them from abroad. Once, indeed, in days afyore, I was a cherished guest in the jottage and the mansion throughout the State, and contracted for her chivalrous . ind hospitable people an affection which, vhile it did not blind mc to their faults, nakesme mourn profoundly over the caamities which overwhelm thorn, and watch rith eager solicitude for any indication of (1 etter times. < It was with such feelings that I on- 1 uircd of you what might bo transpiring , ii the S'tatc, and my surpiise and morti j cation could not have been concealed when learned (hut, at a time when, if man- ' or conduct is impossible, your condition Is justifies sackcloth and ashes, and demands earnest and instant prayers to Almighty God, that He will iuibuc you with a spirit equal to the occasion, you are all gone aglee over Base Ball, your newspapers resounding with ' match games" "fought," or to be "fought," and your own sober and conceited head, sir, stored with little else than "innings" and the "mum" philosophy. Inded, sir, I could almost, in fancy, sec that "Bouip de Bom" order of Knights, and that "Mompel de Taeg" school of Wisdom, whose achievements, recorded in Dutch-English patois. 611 such a sad but humorous chapter in the annals of Von Trauui, the great Dnmmerung chronicler of the Future. My gestures and language, then, were just and proper expression of what I very naturally felt. If any one of your confreres doubts this, let him take the vocabulary, and in view all of the facts, find the word, which, in his judgment, is most appropriate to complete the unfinished sentence, and I will acquiesce in his choice. Let uic not be misunderstood. I have no antipathy to Base Ball in the hands of its proper votary, the sateheled schoolboy. With his young mind untroubled with graver anxieties than a Greek verb, or the pom asinorum can inspire, let him bump away at it to his heart's oontent.? Let him "fight" match games "with nil the pomp and circumstance of glorious war." Let his sister get np pageants for him, "rain influence and judge the prize and whatever the circumstances of the people may be, they can not present a lovelier or less objectionable spectacle to the world. And, indeed, if the more mannish folk are sufficiently free from care and wish to enjoy a casual hour of unalloyed happiness, let them ask leave of the little juniot, and participate in the play as his subordinates. But let them not usurp his province on pain of bcinu suspected of a premature second-ohildhood, or ranked among the B'hoys. I would fain say more oniopics collateral to this, but I have detained you too long, perhaps, from the "fight," so-called, and must await sonic other possiblo occasion. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, supekbia pristina de patria. Note.?The author of these letters, partly to amuse an idle hour, and partly because he thought he oould render scuio service to tho community, shot at what he deems a folly of rho time, the light missiles or persiflage aud satire, lo his surprise his tiny shafts have produced irritation, which ho ascribes to morbid tenderness in those who fancy themselves hit, ruther than to any point or skill iu the archery. But, however, that may be, he explicitly and emphatically disclaims any wish or purpose to wound or offend any individual or set of individuals. He shoots at this folly in the bulk as it spreads itself over the State ; and would fain confer impartially upon all who aro affected with it, the boon for which the great Scottish poet prayed, "Oh, wad some power the giftiegic us, To sec our*0!8 as others see ue."

Vain, conceited, shallow, silly Jack, as the author has endeavored todepict hiin? he is, not the less, a well-bred fool; and would blush out his modest spirit into the bosoui of Mr. Greeley if inch language in such connection could be foroed through It is lips. In fine, to the gentlemen oomposing that committee, the author would tender his congratulations on their unique production. It far excels his utmost conceptions of their capacity, and is, in its kind, a gem of the first water. To show his appreciation of it, he has cut it out and pasted it carefully in his copy of D'lsraeli's Curiosities of Literature, and advises all having a taste in matters of vcrtu, to do the same. Whatever might have been intended, he finds in it nothing which gives him the slightest annoyance, and therefore assui cs them of unchanged personal regard. FOR THE JOURNAL. NAVE YOUR HAY. Now is the timo to save your Hay, this most valuable and necessary article of home consumption, without] which it is impossible to keep your stock of ali kinds in proper condition through the winter. And it seems hard that tbey should suffer as they do, when so many tons of it will rot along headlands, fence corners, and *n the corn, and, perhaps, the cotton rows, in sonic cases. Now is the time to look about, and wherever there is a rank growth of weeds, chop thcui down with the hoc. and the grass that is smothered beneath them will make good hay before frost. These spots arc always the richest, and nothing but the weeds prevent their making an abundant crop of hay. Much good hay is lost because it is in scattered hunches, or rough ground, and not an, even sward, inviting tho knife, but the farmer will be surprised how much can he j got oil this spot of ground with a|nliarp hoc. | Set on the grindstone, and kept sharp with I a tile, in good hands, it will cut down to tho grouud, leaving no stubble, and take up little or no dirt. Thousands of tons can be saved in this way, where the ordinury grass knife will do nothing but cut )ff the tops. In the corn, since the fodder ins been pulled, such a year as this, a jrcat deal of good hay will mature before rost. Cut it just as it is in blooui, and 1 lot lot it dry up in the iud. One day's tin on the ground, spread out, is as mu<h i /. as it ought to have?aftr that, finish the curing in the shade. Good hay means milk butter and beef; fat horses and healthy nes. SAVE HAY. A Ku-KluxScare. [Correspondence of the Jews and Courier.] Columba, August 27. One of the grandest earcs ever heard of in those parts took place last night, under the full blaze of i beautiful moon, which smiled serenely on the troubled scene. Mr. Long, on< of our lively stable-keepers, went out rith half a dozen friends across the rive to engage in the manly sport of a fox chse. They soon got Reynard up. and tho tamp of the horses, the cry of hounds, tho dare of horns, and the shouts of happy huitcrs, mado pretty music on the midnigk air. Delightful as it was to the lover of the sport, it came laden with borro upon tho excited senses of our Men of ]Voral Ideas. Soon a report spread that ive hundred KuKlux from Augusta, Ga., were at the bridge, riding with mijht and main for Columbia, full tilt afte Moses, Patterson and the Ring general)*. The news took effect first upon cxComptroller-general Neagle. He sent his carriage posthaste for Capt. Odgen, Urited States Army, ot whom be asked lora guard, nc com plied so far as to serri an orderly who sat mounted all night >ofore Neagle's gate. Noxt the soare roaohoj Governor Moses and Senator .Patterson, who, strange to say, were sleeping ogetber at Moses's house. They scampered in a hurry, and made a bee-line for tie quarters of the military. Patterson vas, of course, as he advised the Beaufort negroes to be, (:rca, dy." leaving Collector Worthington in charge of the baggage and women, and, acoompaniod by Mosu, he rushed in hot haste to the garrison, where they found Capt. Ogden, who is icting as commandant of the post in the absence of Col. Black. They breathlessly atked for protection against the bloody Georgians, who, they were toll], were coning with blackened and masked faces to'ynch them to death. They besought him t> order out his regiment for their protection. The polite and smiling Ogden Uld them thai lie had no authority to do to. lie couid only furnish men for such duty, on orders from his superior officer o* from the President. Patterson instantly sent off dispatches to the President at Washington and at hong Branch. While awaiting an answer lie dcsircd^to know whether the command ml would coolly look on and see tljt: men killed in this fashion and not try to save their lives. Ho offered guarantees. The commandant shrugged his shoulders millt a i<Amo i?L' li\i\tlnnwin Vult miuf *11111 114V 1V/UIUI ft j UVIIflVUiwllj jv?* u?uot get out of the scrape yourselves; it is none of my business and nonp of my funeral." Time wore on, and, the terrible Ku Klux not arriving, but still expected, Patterson and Moses, as a special favor, craved permission to pass the night at Captain Lovd's homo, next door to the lodgings of'the commandant. They slept together there in one bed. Whether the) slept soundly or tossed in fear as the* heard the rustling of the leaves and sough of the pines uiav bo left to conjecture,? The scare was quite extensive and healthy in Itadical circles. A gentleman return ing from an entertainment at midnight met a courier en horseback tearing froui j the Preston Mansion it: the direction of j the garrison, and, half an hour later, the Governor's carriage called for his private secretary. Cardincr, treasurer of Sumter County, and his wife, left the governor's at one o'clock, and took refuge in a hotel, The Penitentiary guards were called up and placed on duty. L. Cass Carpenter paeked his trunks and left for WashingI 1 I ? I ton. J lie colored people iook 11 more easily. Billy, the body servant of J>r Taylor, asked a gentleman if " Dem Georgians were agwine to lick out de niggers?" lie was overjoyed when the gentleman told him. "Oh no; they arc only after the carpet baggers and scalawags." Ho yelled out in great glee, "Yes! what I tolc 'cm?yah!" Patterson left the garrison this morning just after daylight. Moses slept later. Patterson has made no report of any answer of the Prcsidentto his claim for protection against a fox chase. The hunters ran Reynard down and came home, utterly unconscious of tho terrible fright they had caused the State government and the Pat tcrsonian Blue Ridge scripholdcrs. All is now quiet along the Conuaukk. Tho Union Her nil has the following : A Bui Scare.?Karly on Wednesday evenihg, when the round, laughing moon was sending down her palest and purest light upon a sinful and sorrowful people, a rumor Hunted on the evening air thai all was not peace; that a scare more iinuiineut and deadly tliau that which had scared-tho good citizeus of Austin, or Ridge Springs, or Georgetown, out of their wits, was in store for certain of our best ' and bravest citizens. About U o'clock on the evening in question might be seen a rapid movement of distinguished political chieftains, Hying hither mid thither in quest of reliable information as u? the I truth or falsity ot' n rumor that a whole 'corps of wicked Georgians?this time not in their historical uniform of a shirt c ?L lar and spurs, hut in hluc and black, thai lis, in blue uniforms and with blackcind [faces?was marching hither to assassinate the lludicul chiefs, and then depart within their Democratic strongholds on the other side of Georgia.

In iinterrible dilemma the military cmum n.d t of tho I'nitcd States garrison was .vmgiif. and found liim in the abstract study >>| how to make money.
