We do sot think there is a town in country that can show as small a per centage of deaths in proportion to the population?2.500. Because We Want to Impress Tt,?The Sooth Carolina Legislature, at its last session, passed a law providing that any person coovioted of using firearms on the public streets or highways, shall be punishaed by a fine of not less than 8200, nor more than $1,000, and imprisonment not less than six months, nor more than one year. We publish this paragraph again because we want to impress u uoin upuu uur pcnuo unice re and the persons who are in the habit of carrying such weapons or arms.

Another Freshet.?The heav; rains of Saturday night caused an other rise in old Wateree, and Monday evening all crossing at th< bridge was suspended. Travel by th< Sumter road was also closed by the bacV water from the river. No damage car result from the overflow at this season as there is nothing planted in the lowlands now, and is only an inconvenience to persons living on the western side who wish to communicate witb the town. Tables Turned.?One day last week the widow of the late Solomon George "Washington Bill appeared upon our streets carrying with her a petition for help, and although the very ame ot Dill was obnoxious to our people, yet a spirit of liberality and generos ty was shown her, that speak well for tbe charity of this community. The misdeeds of her "worse half" were forgotten, and her humble prayers and deportment relieved much of her suffer i?g Fire.?Again has the incendiary been at work. This time Mr. Wm. C. Gerald was the person whose property they tried to destroy. About ten minutes to one o'olock last Wednesday night, while policemen Drakeford and Carter were going their rounds, they discovered a fire under the comer of the counting room, fronting on Broad street. They gave the alarm, and immediately took measures to extinguish the fire? ? 1_ A.1 . . * J ' wmcn r?ney tiouu id uuiug, us it had not gained much headway. The lightwood splinters that the fiend had kindled the fire with were not all burned up, showing that he had not left the place long before it was discovered It is evident that some villain wants to see cur town destroyed, and the sooner he is caught and hung the better it will be for the community. He Returned the Goods.?One day last week a merchant in our town missed a piece of goods from his counter, near which a colored individual ras staoding a few minutes before, but who had left the store and gone up town. The merchant immediately w< Dt in search brthe fellow and charged him with stealing the goods. He denied it flatly, saying ho was too much of u gentleman to steal, and would not be guilty of such a thing. The merchant told him that he knew he was the thief, and unless i h> goods were brought back very soon he would prosecute him. In a short time the nigger appeared at the door with the stolen property, and begged most pitcously for the merchant not to hare bim arrested. After an admoaition not to do so again, he was let go. Pnon npotr* ftn&v*n Da last Sun. daj night tbe post office in Camden was broken into by thieves and robbed of abont forty letters. It is supposed that the thief gained an entrance by breaking open tbe general delivery window, and once inside, be proceeded to look for whatever was worth taking. His object seems to have been money, though he missed it, as none could be found. Ai attempt was made to got into tbe drawer where stamps arc kept, but it was unsuccessful. The thief must have been frightened off by some one about that time. Quite a number of letters and postal cards were found in a lot back of Mr. Lollis* si ore, and it is presumed that tbe thief went off in that direction. The matter is being investigated, and we hope soon to see the villains safely caged and a free trip given them to the Albany penitentiary. Vocal Music.?On last Tuesday evening Prof. Evans gave the citizens of our town quite a treat in the shape of a concert, by the class he has been instructing in vocal music (all sacred.] The singing, as a whole, was excellent, but our space this week preveuts us from commenting uni'n each niece Hep " o r * 4 aratcly though ?c cannot forbear speak ing of a few.

The solo by Prof. Evans, t "Flee as a Bird." was given witb great u expression and called 'Vth the greatest s applause from all present. i The Church was crowded to overs flowing, and every one was delighted e with the performance. Too much praise caonot be given to Pmf. Evans for his ability as a teacher, f and the improvement in the class clearly ' speaks for itself. He has them under f the most perfect control, and if any one i makes a false note it is noticed immediJ ately and corrected. The concert was J the closing lespon of the 6rst session.

Mr. Gerald will pay a liberal regard for the detection of the person or . persons who fired his store on last Wednesday night. Mr. H, Clay Richardson, for nearly three years the local editor of the Col utr.bia Register, severed his connection with that paper on the 11th inst.

The propriety of establishing this means of punishment for stopping, in a measure, tu? gi cnu uumuvi u> vnui>a committed, is being discussed in many State* at present, and strongly nrged by its advocates, tbey citing the good effect produced by it in Delaware and Vireinia in preventing crime. We all know how it worked in this State before the war, and sinco its abolishment all have noticed the difference. There are at least twenty times the n amber of crimes committed now as were perpetrated then. We want some other means than the present laws of our State call for to stop this increase, and we believe the whipping post to be the easiest and best thing to attain the desired reform. Some people have seen fit to term it barbarons and cruel to whip a man. Of those persons we would ask, whioh is worse, to give those meditating unprincipled villains a sound thrashing, or allow them to put fire to our homos and . i .t ?r?:i:? ouro to aeuui our >auiiiir?, urruoj uui property, and allow the vagabonds and loafers to steal away all oar.goods and earnings, thereby entailing suffering and banger upon as and our loved ones ? If they are caught (as the law now stands) their punishment is only nominal?if they receive any punishment at all?and they know it; whereas if they knew the lash awaited them when thoy were canght,-tbey would not havo committed the crime. We will wager that there is not an honest man in the country who will take two minutes to decide the question, as to which is best, and it will be that the thief ought to have tho lash laid on. We believe it is a Christian act, and a duty we owe to ourselves and OHr country, as it will reform the thief and make a good man out of him, and at the same time give ease and comfort to the honest man to know that he is safe, and need not fear thieves and robbers. We wonld like to see l-his subject dii?cnsaed more fr?ely in Jth^jiaprra of otir State. To judge from the way they hondle it, it would appear that they ore afraid ?o sav anything far fear of h??ing nnj-nrulnr. Let hear tfO"> them \nvthing t > Veal: op lawlessness. FA'.mkr. The Cotton Wcirkot. CaMDEN. January 15. The supply of cotton is falling of considerably, and the price is improving slightly. Middlings are quoted here at from 7fc for ordinary fo 8} for the best. War in Afglmgist&n. The latest news from the war Afghanistan reports that the troops of the Peshawar and Karam columns are how settled in quarters, which, unless unforeseen events occur, thoy are intended to occupy for the next two months. Gens. Browne and Maude's divisions are echelonned in mutually supporting detachments extending from Jelalahad to NViuehera. This extension and distribution of forces, beside? affording the requisite protection to the entire Hop ot mad, has the advantage of diminishing as far as possible the strain upon the commissariat department. Major Oavagnari has friendly letters from most of the Cabul and Ghilia chiefs. An imposing Durbar was held at Jelalahad on the 1st of January by Gen. Sir Samuel Brown. Most of the local triinno influential men of the neigh borhood attended. Maj. Cavagnari, addressing them, explained the Viceroy of India's proclamation. He commented on the facts and tho events as manifesting the strength of the British Government and the failure of the Ameer's resistance, and repeated the assurance that we have no quarrel with the people of Afghanistan. The prinoipal Khan replied in language which may be taken for what it is worth, expressing contentment with the ohange of authority and freely offering his service Troubles of Labor and Capital. The labor troubles in Europe still continue, and are spreading. The hard times ha re reached France, and trouble is arrisiRg there between labor and 1 capital. The destitution among the lower classes is increasing daily. A Paris dispatch says that the velvet ( manufactures of St. ?Jtien?e nave re) solved to reduce the wages of operatives twenty per cent, as the only means oi r facing foreign competition. The Timw, r judging from the uncertainty and diri* i ded councils sbowD s.t l'b?' various meetiogs of the Jlidi&adjtoilway- employe^ editorially declares that it is rot too much to say that they are ready to return to duty if the olive branch i* held oat. The moulders, fitters and blacksmiths of the railway rollingstock works, a:; Barrow, have struck against an extension of the hours of labor from fiftyfour to fifty nine hours a week. A strike of cotton operatives at Preston is I fe ared on the 23d instant, when a 10 p<;r cent, reduction will be enforced. In consequence of the resumpti-n of work by tbo railway oondnctors of Leeds, all the striking employees at Brudford have asked and have been granted reinstatement on the terms offered by the railway directors. The foundry hands, shipbuilders and housebnilders of Bank and vicinity have struck. Six hundred weavers at Carlisle have struck. This strike will effect other departments of the mills. A strike lias commenced in the wire trade at Wavrington, and one thousand men are idle in consequence. The strike of the Midland Railroad is virtually ended. Workingmen in the Village of Gnnston, Va., have circumvented the hard times in a novel and successful way. A co-operative association furnishes its members with constant employment at fair wo or on and th?c hoard in one lnrpe ??? ; ? ? ?- ?ofamily house, nod thereby reduce the cost of living about one-half. They have a largo farm and garden, and are employed raising food, making clothing erecting buildings, making roads and fencea, catting fuel, and housekeeping for themselves, producing with their own labor nearly all that is required to supply their wants and make them comfortable, with a considerable surplus, which they Bell. Each member is required to save a considerable part of hifi wages. None of them have been idle a day daring the past Dine months. "A Romouce of Rascality." The New York Times, on the day after Christmas, devoted seven and a half columns of leaded type to a biographical sketch of Franklin J. M< ses, thu late Governor of South Oarc'ina, under the taking title of "A Romance of Rascality." It traces the hero's career from before the war down to onr a! !- P ? -1. - ? 4. tL... own Lime, ju luur unupucra,- turcv ui which are entitled respectively, "Speaker (of tbe Assembly) and Thief," "Governor and Wholesale Robber," "Downfall?Beggar and Criminal." There are some inaccuracies in the narrative which we shall not take the tronble to point oat. What is remarkable in it, and in a certain sense very entertaining, is that the biographer talks through tbe firut three chapters as if his hero had aince the war lived and acted in vacuo, and had committed all his villainies without assistance; ?s if. in short he had become "Speaker and Thiof," Governor and Wholesale Robber" withnita Legislature and the "Republican pa'ty" at his hack. The first intimation we g.'f of anybody's being responsible fo>* bi n is In rhspter TV. vhich d>ser:b s h? "Bn?rg?r aoil Criminal" ?t ,tc. At. rb pnin' wiu re Mo?es escaped f in licfm?'iii for fnud and larceny t'ir.i igh a technicality, th" historian calmly relates that "the thoughtful men among them (the negroes) began to doubt Mases, and some of the most respected white Republicans?men like Daniel H. Chamberlain?operfljp declare that he w*.s a disgrace to the party which supported him," To appreciate this?which is, we think, the richest thing in the literature of carpet baggery?we must remember that Moses was at thin time iff^be fourth year of his crimes, and Wac he had been elected Governor while "Speaker and Thief." It would seem, indeed, as if the South Carolina Republicans did not suspect a man until he publicly confessed bis enormities and clamored for admission to the peoitentiaxy.?Nation.
