AUGUSTA.
SATURDAY MORNING. OCT. 20. 1870.
POLITICAL.
The Young Democracy of Xew York haTe
nominated Judge Ledwith for Mayor, and he
will receive considerable republican support.
Tammany put on its war paint Thursday
night. The telegraphic despatches told a grim
truth (by accident) when they said the demo
cratic speakers exhorted their hearers to
“prevent the purity of the suffrage.”
About four thousand troops have been sent
to New York to be at hand in case of distur
bance at election, and Attorney General
Akerman has visited the city to put in motion
the legal machinery to prevent fraud at the
ballot-box.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA BUTCHERY. I
The despatches which have been pub
lished of the recent call upon the Presi
dent for troops to protect the loyal people
of South Carolina, give but little idea ol
the terrible state of things which occasion
ed the demand for troops. Enraged at
their defeat in the late election, the rebel?
took arms which had been prepared, and
slaughtered the most prominent of those
opposed to them, and threaten to plunge
the State into civil war. A Washington
paper gives the following particulars:
On Snndsy evening last Senator Itobertson
of South Carolina arrived here, having been
deputed bv Governor Scott to lay before the
President the facts in relation to a massacre
of Union men which took place in Laurens
county on Thursday last, and to ask for the
interposition of the strong arm of the govern
ment to prevent further butchery by the
“Reformers.” The Senator left South Caro
lina on Saturday, and on Sunday last so
threatening was the aspect of adairs that the
Governor dispatched a delegation, consisting of
State Treasurer Niles G. Parker, State Audi
tor Tomlinson, and Mr. C. P. II. Ripley, to
also call upon the President and nrge upon
him the necessity of at once ordering that
troops be sent to the disturbed portions of the
State.
Tbe Governor represents that as many as
sixty persons were killed by the “Reformers"
st, and in the vicinity of Laurens court-house,
on Thursday Iasi, and fears that u repetition
of the slaughter will occur to-day, as tiiis is
the time fixed for counting the votes, and the
“Reformer*” have given out that the Republi
cans elected will not, under any circuuistan- ,
ces, be restored to power. The attack of the ;
“Reformers” at Laurens court-house was 1
made on the 20th instant, the day utter the
election, and was prompted by the conviction
that they had been fairly defeated at tbe polls
by the Republicans. About 700 stand of arms
were seized, and sixty persons killed, among i
them being Hons. Wade Perrin, colored, and ;
Joseph Crews, white, and both members of (
the Legislature, and Volney Powell, son of
Judge Powell of Ohio. Assistant Assessor
Everson was pursued, and barely escaped with
his life. He was saved only by the use of a
aecret sign of distress, and even then was
forced to travel to Columbia on passes fur
nished him by his rebel captors, lie lias an
nounced hi* intention of never returning to
bis pest of duty us United States Assessor at
Anderson.
The condition of affairs in South Carolina
U truly appalling, and cannot be exaggerated, j ,
and we are sure, lrum the representations j
made n* by thoroughly responsible parties,
that unless the Government interferes at once '
the State will be plunged into civil war. As (
the militia ii composed mainly of colored men, i,
and as the State authorities have been warn
ed that if they attempt to send them to i
Laurens the railroad will be torn up and the ]
troops attacked and overpowered by thousands |
of well-armed ex-confederates, tbe necessity
of United States troops is apparent. The :
preservation of the peace of the State is de
manded by every consideration, and we are
confident that a deaf ear wll not be turned to
the appeal of Governor Scott for the immedi
ate presence of United States troops in South
Carolina.
METEORIC EXPLOSION.
Worcester county, Mass., is considerably ]
excited over a meteoric explosion which took I
piece therein last Sunday morning. The
Worcester Spy says it was even set down as i
another earthquake by many of the residents
of Hampden county. The shock occasioned
by the explosion was felt very generally at
fifteen minutes before seven o’clock Sun
day by the people of Brookfield- North
Brookfield, West Brookfield, Warren, New
Braintree, Hardwick and several other towns i
in that vicinity. In New Braintree Riid
North and West Brookfields the explosion j
was so pereeptlble that it shook the farm
houses as if some member of the family in
chamber had jumped suddenly out of bed;
and those who were so fortunate as to get a
sight at the uncommon spectacle describe it
as looking as large as the moon at full, before
it burst with a loud report, and left a train of
smoke in the sky. The meteoric remains are
claimed by several towns, but the majority
of those who saw it agree that either the north
ern portion of West Brookfield or the town
of New Braintree is the landing-place of the
brilliant visitor to earth
A correspondent describes the meteor as
follows:—“It was apparently as large as the
sun at his rising, and springing from the Dip
per, it described an arc from northeast to
southwest, at an angle of To degrees above
the horizon. Its color is described as that of
iron at white heat, with vivid vari-eolored
scintillations, and leaving in its wake a lumin
ous tsain about three or four degrees in width,
which remained for some fifteen seconds. Its
brilliancy was especially astonishing, as the
sun was some ways above the horizon, it ex
ploded finally in a sharp detonation, scatter
ing its brilliant fragments in all directions,
each of which also burst in rapid suc
cession. Its smoke hung like a cloud for
several seconds more, emitting Hushes of
light, and then gradually faded into air. The
most singular feature of this phenomenon was
its physical effect in producing a heavy, dis
tinct rumbling, like a distant rockblast, or
echoed cannon shot, which was heard more
plainly in houses than without.”
The Argus regrets that the State horse fair
at the Forest City Park, Portland, Thursday,
wae a failure. Very few animals were
present and the attendance was very small,

FROM THE WEST.
Ntw Harmony. Mo., Oct. 19, 1870.
To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal:
This bears date some sixteen hundred miles
from the place where my last was written,and
the change in the manners and speech of the
the people is equally as great as the distance,
and if an occasional phrase slips in here that
is not familiar, you can attribute it to a weeks ■
sojourn in this beautiful country where last
year they raised corn “right smart" and had
a “heap left,” but a better crop is now stand- !
*
ng.
Our route took us through the State of 111 ,
tnd the whole distance an both sides one
.ould see only a continuous corn-field. We
were informed by a fellow passenger, that the
crop in 111. alone will amount to two hun
dred million bushels. This seems like a fish i
story, hut let one ride thruue'h the immense
corn-fields of that state, and the estimate will
not seem large. We passed the farm of one
Mr. Alexander which embraces sixteen thous
and acres, and as a sample of his farming I
will mention one little incident.
A young man wanted to hire out to shook
corn, and was hired by Mr. A., whom he in
formed that he wanted a job that would last
four or five weeks, asking how much he had.
“Twenty-four hundred acres,” responded Mr.
A., “and when that is out you can get a job
with some of my neighbors.”
Mr. A. made a contract with the Toledo,Wa
bash, Lakesbore &. N. York Central ltailroads
to send his cattle to the N. York market,
promising to send seven car loads daily, and
has met his agreement. The roads have of
fered him a hundred thousand dollars for the
contract, but he wont give it up. He buys
and sells by telegraph, has an office, and an
operator on his farm. 13v his contract he can
send cattle six dollars per head cheaper than
other dealers. He is undoubtedly the great
est farmer in the world,—the sixteen thous
and acres in 111. nut comprising th • whole oi
his land. It is now quite rainy here, so that
one has to keep the house or wade in mud.

The Whig says the largest and most impor
tant sale of timber lands ever made in this
State, probably, was made Thursday, at City
Hall, Bangor, by John 15. Foster, auctioneer,
for the executors of the estate of the late
Rufus Dwincl. The number of acres sold
was nearly ICO.000 and were among the
choicest timber lands in the State. The sale
amounted to about $200,000. Among the
purchasers were Hon. Henry K. Prentiss, J.

largely. Capt. E. M. Robinson performed ■
the duties of Marshal very acceptably. Otis

One of our correspondents the other day
visited the Steam-mill of Messrs. Sprague &
Sturgis in Pittston. It is undoubtedly the
host constructed establishment of the kind in
the State, having machinery with all the
latest improvements. About sixty men are
employed, and the amount of long lumber
sawed each day approximates 34,000 feet;
clapboards, 4,000; shingles, 20,000; laths,
12,000; broom-handles, 2,000,—besides other
kinds. All of the saw-dust is conveyed on
belts irom the saws into a miniature car,
thence into a dump car, where it is taken di
rectly to vessels; [the saw-dust amounts to
about $100 per week. Instead of the olu
way of filing saws there is a shop with a lull
set of running stones for grinding; the man
in charge of this grinds down a very large
tooth, on a circular saw, to the proper
shape, in less than one minute; ho informed
our correspondent that this one tooth alone
would have spoilt three good saw files and
taken more than an hour to have brought the
tooth into shape. The firm also cut all the
files that are used about the establishment, by
chemical process.

CITY AND TOWN BONDS
IN AID OF TIIE
Kr.WEnrc Portland railroad, |
The Bonds of certain towns and cities issued in
aid of the Kennebec and Portland Railroad, ma
ture Nov. 1, 1870. It is proposed to pay the same
in lawful money of the United Males. Currency
lias therefore been provided, and the Treasurer ol
the Poitland and Kennebec Railroad Company,
will pay the Bonds on presentation at his Office in
Augusta.
It is understood, however, that some holders
may claim a payment in gold. While the Road j
doe* not feel willing, in tho present condition ol
affairs, to meet this elaiim it does propose to the
holders, a liberal alternative, viz: to exchange
for the maturing issue, a Bond which has like se
curity, and which is in every way a first-class obli
gation. This Company will give its “Consolidated
Bond” at 83 cents, which will pay a liberal rate ol
interest. The Coupons of this loan are payable
semi-annually in Boston, free of Government tax;
the rate is i; pet cent, on the thousand.
By funding the maturing Bond in this new Se
curity, a safe and conservative investment will
be had on a Bond having twenty-live years to run,
covered by a mortgage similar to that now protect
ing the Town Loan. The Consolidated Bond was
authorized by an Act of tho Legislature, January
•>8, 1863, and is intended to embrace all the bonded
Debt of the Road. Its legality has just boon affirm
ed by a full decision of the Supreme Court of the
state, and is now placed on an entirely substantial
basis, and as such can be treated hy the holders.
The exchange can be made at the Treasurer’s
Office at Augusta; the Granite National Bank, An
gusta; the First National Bank, Portland; ami the
National Exchange Bank, Boston.
But if any holders prefer to sell the Bonds due
Nov. 1, 1870 for currency, cither of tho above banks
will buy them.
