[raoit O?B OWN connKsPONDENT.] New York, July 5?Id my last letter I promised your roadore that, in ordor to bo the bettor able to post them on the doings here on the glorious anniversary of the nation's birth-day, I would en deavor to travel around aa much as possible on ?aid day, and epite of the broiling and the baking of tho solar rays, would strive to be hero, thero and everywhere, simultaneously, if poseible. Though I have not succeeded in tho ubiquitous part of tho programme?which, by the by, I do not think I did promise to attempt?I have, never theless, been true to my word in so much as re lates to tho bud cooking self-subjection. Tho first philosophic idea that presented itsolf to my reflection, aa I made my appearance in Broadway?the sun shining in all its brilliancy and heat?was, that it would have boon a most agreeable thing had our ancestors of '76 proclaim ed thoir independence in a cooler season of the year, bo that the "Fourth of July" could have fallen, say, in the month of December; the next was, that if everybody has been fighting for the flag, Ilion ovorybody hau certainly succeeded in winning one, each for bis or bor own individual use and behoof, as it was vory ovidont that all were provided with flags?for Broadway, at least from Fourteenth-street to Wall, was one grand flag emporium; ovory man did hang out our ban ner on tho outward wall, and the great showman, P. T. Bahnu_, not only hung nut our banner, but tho gloriouB stars and bars?I beg pardon, I mean the glorious stars and stripes?had a good deal of company in the Bhape of the many various flags of many various nations. The military procession was fine. I observed it from a etand-poin-, or, rather, a sitting point of view (for I sat on the top of a stage) nearly oppo site the Bpingler House (which is opposite Union Square), from which point did Mayor Hoffman viow it also; and as tho grand procession passed in review before the Mayor, who was in a carriage, saluting him as they passed, it was necessarily obliged to aaluto your correspondent also, as he aat perched on the omnibus top. The procesi?n was fine, but looked hot?the crowd looked hot? tho Mayor looked hot?my companion, tho omni bus driver, was evidently in a state of admiring perspiration. And so did the soldiers pass onward in their marob. Young America turned out gaily? little boys perspired as they cracked torpedoes, as they popped fire-crackers, and as they made the day hideous with tho loud report that came from the rusty mouths of rusty pistols. To see the lit tle fellows, and big fellows, too, elevate their arm "in mid air, and then -bang away, to reload, elevate ana oaug ?my ?gauu, 11?* * / vi.?_ ____! _^ ^^ hold* But I derived still more amusement from watching those whose pistols refused to go off? the arm would be raised, the trigger duly pulled, the little boy would wink his eye and giye a back- [ ward dodge in anticipation of a loud report, when, lo and behold I an expression of blank disappoint ment on tho little fellow's face as no sout'd eman ates from tho refractory pistol. The Central Park was, of course, the groat centro of attraotion during the day, and thousands of beautiful women, Ugly men, small babies and large nurses, spent their Fourth of July in this en chanting spot. Tho lake in the park is so ro mantic in its beauty that I do not think that any loving swain who would invest a half dollar in currency and take his lady-love to ride in one of the fairy little boats that glide so gently on its pellucid and transparent bosom, and then embrace the opportunity afforded for popping the all-im portant question?I do not think, I repeat, that said generous swain would have cause to regret the investment. On the Fourth of July, 1865, your correspondent was sufficiently verdant to go to tho City Hall Park to witness the grand pyrotechnic display, and was so wedged in the dense crowd that he wished tho fireworks in a place?where fire is sup posed to be tho predominating element. There fore, on the present occasion, Fourth of July, 1866, be determined to profit by past exporience, and so accepted tho kind invitation of some rich relations, who live directly opposite Madison Square, and went thither to viow the fireworks from a cool window looking upon Broadway and Fifth Avenue. The rich relations and Moultrio were most terribly disappointed, bowover, for tho rain ponred down most beautifully at about dusk, and there was no pyrotechnic display at all. The immense crowd of what we may cull fire worshippers, or fireworks wortjhippore,found nothing to worship but the rain which, instead of worshipping, they cursed mou t impiouely, and Slowly and aadly they went away, Bat spoke not a word of Borrow ; Whilst each to the other did sigh,and aay They '11 aet tbem all off to-morrow. That is to say, to-morrow night, which (as I write on the 5tb) means to-night,-?and so to night we may look for the "Celestial State," "The Illuminate*! Yew Tree," "The Fenian Bose," "The Star of Independence," "The Ladies' Waterfall,'. "ThePaesion Flower," "The Temple of Waeh , ington," Ac. Messrs. Jab, J. and I. Edge-, who presented the fireworks to the city, are determin ed to set them off, and so to-night we are to have a second edition of Fonrtb of July, i I informed you in my last that Recorder Hack btt bad administered a death blow to the Excise Law?it was a death blow, though it was not ox ? aotly (he death blow. The law revived and breathed ; once more, but now it is dead in good earnest, and dead forever. Chief Justico Connelly has r killed it, and Superintendent Rknkedy bas put il I in a coffin and buried it a thousand fathoms deep. Connelly informed the police officers that the t noxt one of them who should arreat a man foi t violati *g this law, that Is no law at all, should liimeelf be arresto*! and held to account?where fore a policeman tried the thing in fun, and Con nelly kept his word in earneat, and now Ken ) NEDv himself abandons the gamo as lost, and i gives up the Excise Law as a complete fiasco. r Pu*, not your faith in Haut, Gib-ion *_ Go. of the London Watch Co , and put not their advertise ment in your piper. Said advertisement, whicl has appfa ?red in almost every pap or In the South ) states that they are to be found at No. 205 Broad way?whereas they are not to be found there; but I have learned from a gentleman who has an office in this building, that no lesa than forty newspaper agenta have called to aoo tlioso invisi ble watch doalerB, and called in vain. Your agent, than whom no ouo is moro wide awako and shrewd, has formed a little plan by which ho and jour leas knowing correspondent hopo to scent tb*?80 wily foxes. You neod not foar that you will bo putting them on tho alert by publishing this, aa the thing will meet with success or fuiluro oro this roachoa you. Ah 1 this ia a wicked, wicked world. I entertain tho strongost kiad of suspicion that said Haut, Gibson & Co. are the worst kind of swindlers, and likewise indulgo lively hopos of get ting a few points ahead of thorn, boforo your agont and myself finish onr little scheme. The thoatros are drawiug as usual, and running the samo old bills. Weather warm but not boiling. No indications of rain. Fireworks worshippers in highst spirits. MO?LTRIE. -?? - ?.ICTTER KKOM THE COUNTRY. Camden, S. 0., July 5.?The anniversary of American Independence waa oolebrated with duo eclat by the froedmen of this town and vicinity. The day opened propitiously ; the aun roso in cloudless splendor, greeted by tho melodious an thems of nature's choristers. At an early hour the town was onUvened by the arrival of gaily dressed individuals of color from all quarters. They woro all seen hurrying to the place of ren dezvous, as if au issue of life and death depended on their early arrival. At the Freedmon's Sohool houso they oongregatod in large orowds, and hero the touchera formed them into a procession. At the hoad marobed tho dignitaries of tho church and orators elect; noxt came a modest band of music (drum and fife, a la militaire), next follow ed a color-guard, in whose midst floated) the "Stars and Stripes." Tho main body of the procession consisted of stalwart men, whoBO erect and dignifiod boaring was tho theme of comment, an 1 who wer o follow ed by the pupils of tho different sohools, dressed in whito. In this order thoy marched to the Town Hall, accompanied by an immense and motley throng of colored people, who crowded the side walk, offering a sido scone to the picture, that was in some instances rendered ludicrous in the ex treme by the exoessive jollity that pervaded it, a-i evidenced by danoing and othor fantastic concor tioiiB in accord with the music In front of the Town Hall tho procession halted, and]forming in line, then and there "stood for a picture " en masse. This spectacle was quite novel and inter esting, and drew a large crowd of spootators, who viewed with ovident pleasure these "pets of the K?^ad?teS-fc?nfoiflff .?W?te n_R??*_?wto thoy wore; interspersed by gay banners and pro fusi?n of parti-colored ribbons, making a novel and peculiar toute ensemble. This was an excellent opportunity for the color ed population to display their penchant for de monstrations, and really the wholo affair was well gotten up and executed. From the Town Hall tho column defiled to tho recently erected colored church, where thoy were entertained by several speakers. I regret my inability to attend the lat ter ceremonies, as it no.r deprivoe mo of the satis faction of making my report of the proceedings complete. However, everything passed off "as merry as a marriage bell," and tho freedmen con ducted themselves in the most orderly and credit able manner. A majority of the business places was closed, and perhap-j the closure of the bar rooms and whiskey shops, by order of our wise and effioient Town Gonncil, contributed much to the maintenance of order among a crowd of about a thousand people. Gen. Scott's order is received with groat eatis faction by the planters in this section. They con sider it well-timed and most appropriate, and give tho General much credit for the real interest and prac.ieal wisdom he has displayed in the adminis tration of his office. Id this section I havo not heard much complaint of the neglect of their obli gations by the freedmen until the recent hot spell. They have, as a general rule, boon faith ful and industrious. Exceptions occur occasion ally, especially since the hot woathor makes field labor rather uncomfortable. But this order from the "Bureau" will benefit them and spur thorn up to renewed exertions. At loaat we hope so. Our crops are not much improved since my last communication. Last week we wore visited by s few days of real fall woathor, which made ui flj to blankets at night. This was, as you may ima gine, extremely injurious to the cotton plant, ant thus threw it back in growth considerably. Be sides, it has been raining a good deal, which gav< that aroh enemy of the farmer, tho grass, a goo? start.- Tho weather has improved, however, an? the plow and hoe have succeeded in battling witl the verdant enemy, who now lies prostrate, scorch ing in a splendidly hot*-3r_ry sun, never, I hope, t< raise again his hydra head. Corn looks much better now, and promises i fair yield, although it has been much retardod b* . the late unseasonable weather. I have noticed oi . the Watoroo plantations corn that could suocess . fully vio with that ?rowing on the fertilo banks o the Frenoh Bfoad, in East Tennessee. If tin weather continues favorable, we need have no ap prehensions of a famine. But tho latter abroad; exists among the poor of this district, who an . actually in a meat deplorable condition, A publi meeting of charitable gentlemen has been hold and steps havo been taken to alleviate tho priva ; tiona of the destitute.

Besides he is lodged, lighted an - warmed, and his horses are fed at governmou , expense. State Items. Da?linoton.?The Southerner of the 6th, has an editorial in support of tho National Conven tion. Wo also take tho following two items from it: Sale Day.? Last Monday passed off with un usual quiotness. Fewer persons from tho coun try wore present tban nsnal, and the salos pos sessed but littlo interest. Tho rejuvenated appearance of tho public aqnaro was tho subject of much admiring comment, and many deserved compliments wore paid the community*on tho ?>u tcrptiso displayed in ropairing tho ravages of tho firo. Fir?. -Early ou the Fourth, a fire broke out ?n Mr. Jones' carriage shop. The firo originated from tho operations of the blacksmith and requir ed only a fow buckets of water for its extinguish ment. Tho workmen, howevor, becoming fright onod, gave the alarm, and the engino being promptly brought out, the fire was in a very fow minutes extinguished. This is the first service performed by tho engino einco its arrival in our midst. Abbeville.?The following two items wo take from the Pressai tho 6th: Sale Day.?Sale Day furnished but tew items of interest. _ho -attendance wan smaller than usual, owing, "?re suppose, to'this being a busy season in farming operations, as well as to tho fact that tho usual railroad accommodation was not furnished to tho e-tizeos of Greenwood and vicinity. This was owing to the present arrangement of Bohedulos upon tho road, and we trust will pre sent onIy:a tomporary inco ?vonience. Tho reports o? the growing crops Boom to he rather discouraging, owing to the unfavorable seasons and tho defects in the present system of labor. Employers who work with the freedmen are able to make, their labor effective, but where this is not the case, the complaint is general, that they are doing only half work, and aro not making a Bupport. Reduction of Freights_Wo see that the various railroads aro reducing their freights upon the nocesBary articles of subsistence. The South Carolina Road haB reduced the freight on corn to 12 couts per bushel; aalt to70 cents por sack; oats to 10 oents per bushel. This company is forward ing cotton to New York at $5 per bale. This is an example which might bo very profitably followed by the Greenville and Columbia Road, whose charges have been the subject of very general complaint. We learn from the Greenville Mountaineer that President Hammet has inaugurated measures to stop tbe plundering of packages between Colum bia and tne uoper termmi of the road. T?ie Races.?The Columbia Patriot ot Saturday says : The races yesterday oamo off without any dis turbance, all and every one enjoying themselves well. Indeed, the pleasure experienced by us at tho courso surpassed that of any other day, and we heard expressions to the same effect from every one we conversed with. The following is the re sult of tho racing : Mr. J. 0. Bulow entered bay mare Aurora Floyd, six years old, and Mr. C. R. Franklin entered bay horso Clinton, seven years old, half brother to Jorry, who won the fh-Bt days' races. Purse $200 ; mile heats?best two in three. On the first heat Clinton came in ahead, mak l?'loyd oamein llrr.t in U-lJV, anu tub-ftt., Aur^ Clintontook tho purse in 2:08. v "aoat The racing was beautiful, the horae and mare being well matched. On the second heat, ingo ing the first half mile, to use an expression, they could have been covered with a blanket. After the regular racing, then came the scrub races, to which all looked with pleasure, and those present were well paid for the time spent by this class of amusement?every one being in good hu mor and taking an interest iu the whole transac tion. A bet ot $25 was made between some gentlemen for a quarter race, and for it Mr. Mike Brennan entered a dark bay mare, and Mr. B. Turner a dark bay horse, the more winning in 27 seo. Before closing this article we must again return onr thanks to Mr. J. L. LumBden for courtesies uhown, and to our gallant friend, Mr. J. L. Pol look, for similar favors. Those soda cocktails were tine. Success attend both. To-day is the last of the races, and as there will be much fun, wo advise all who wish to enjoy it to be present. Wo understand a wagon race will come off; also a trotting race between two gentle men of our city, one in a sulky and tho other un der the saddle Reduction of Telegraphic Charges.?The South ern Express Company have reduced their tele graphic rates one-half ($) to all points on their fines. This is good news for the community, and a good move for tho company. We hope that a large increase of business may compensate them for this timely rediiotio-i. Wo need more of this spirit; until we havo it, we may manage to live on each . other, but will never get i ich.?Patriot. ? ? ? A Oband Scamp_A Florida correspondent of tho Columbus ?Sun and Times, writing from Talla [ haeseo, thus shows up an abominable villain: i Dr. E. Toland, who came to this State from South Carolina in 1863, and was subsequently ap pointed on tho Medical Examining Board, and ; stationed in the little town of Quincy, was recent , ly arrested in this oity on a charco of bigamy, and is now confined in the jail at Quincy, awaiting bis ' trial at the fall term or tho Circuit Court of Gad - sen county. He passed himself off a widower, I with three children, and succeeded in marrying, in the spring of last year, a beautiful and accom " phebed young lady, the daughter of ?P.9 Of the ? most r?Bpected and Worthy gentlemen in Quincy. I It is strange, but nevertheless true, that he lived with his new wife more than twelve months?up to the time of hie arrest?enjoyed the confidence 1 and respect of the whole community?who patron - ized him in the practico of his profession? j. and was never suapicioned of being; guilty of an act of auoh diabolical meanness. I bay strange, because he corresponded with l hla South Carolina wife regularly, and instructed ,, tho post master at Quinoy not to deliver hie letters to any one except himself. The oanee, finally, of 1 the unfortunate young lady's suspicions was - grounded on the faot that whileToland was recently f on a visit to his home in South Carolina, ostensi bly for the purpoBO of seeing hia children, sho ro 9 coived lettors from him enclosed in envel?nos di - reotod to her father. She, of course, suspioioned f that something was not right, and after his re turo, whilo he was in the city on a short viait, the took the liberty of opening a letter which had 0 been received for him in the meantime, which , proved to be from?bis other wife 1 It has bren ascertained siuco, that this consum mate scon ndr??l had a negro boy (whom be brought v out hero with him during the war) bound o aeoreoy in regard to tho matter, with threats ol 0 instant death if he divulged, and that he has all . this timo made hla legitimate wife in South Oaro 1 Una believe that he had purchased a Urge plunta n tidfi iu Florida, and was building a fine house and ,, making otbor preparations io bring her out horo, which was his oxcueo for not going homo after the surrender to live.

Death, has again unqulverol his arrow, and struck down a shining mark in our midst. Tho bereavement to us by this blow Is not only experi enced in this company, where wo hailed the deceased as a friend and companion ; but tho oloctrlc ahook of nym pathy pervades the whole oommnnlty. Perhaps no city could boast of one so deservedly popular as our Ex Prosldont, JOHN KENIFICE. His name soundod almost to all as familiar as a household word; and who shall soon forgot the honest grasp of his hand, the t>- am of his constant choerful countenance, or the innocent playfulness of his mirth-inspiring words, ever cheering up tho Bpirit and warming up the heart** No one. Always cheerful himself, bis presence never failed to communicate It to others. Hla la a memory not easily forgotton; it will live out hla generation; and many who now read this imperfect sketch of character, who knew the subject of it, will, in after days, when momory re curs back (o the scenes and pleasures of youthful asso ciations, find him not forgotten. We havo thua spoken of his character aa it glistened on the surface; but it was interlined with the nobleness of a tender heart, a high sense of honor, charity and bonevolonce. His long captivity at Fort Warren laid tho seeds of that diseaaa which culminated in hia death on tho 28th instant, In the forty-aecond (-2d) year of his a&e. As we, with hia host of friends, gathered around hi* last rostlng placo to witness the interment of all that was mortal of our deceased and cherished friend, h-fW forcibly appeared to us the vanity of all earthly things t The uncertainty of Ufo?the brittle tenure on which it hang-t*^the audden snapping of tho silver cor-'?were lessons of early child hood, and are brought homo to us in maturer manhood Yet that coffin and that grave seemed an indelible illus tration of tbete truths.
