AUGUSTA.
FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 4,1870.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
We have already given an account of
some of the outrages perpetrated in South
Carolina by the defeated rebel democracy
after election. The republicans carried
the State by 30,000 majority, also carry
ing with them man}' whites who never
voted the republican ticket before, and
would have carried more but for the ter
rible threats of tlio rebels and fear ol their
vengeance, which was has been in some
cases fearfully executed. Two members
of the last Legislature are among the as
sassinated. Of the deeds which have been
committed, the following account which
we find in an exchange, from a corres
pondent in Columbia, gives an example:
“The most inhuman, brutal outrages that
ever disgraced civilization are perpetrated
here in the name of Democracy. I was last
night invited into the office of one of the
State officers to witness a sight that chilled my
blood with horror. The room was large and
dark, only a single candle being lighted to
enable us to see more closely the objects we
were called upon to inspect. On one side ot
the room, ranged side by side, and divested
of all the clothing of the upper part of the
body, sat two stalwart men and out woman,
their backs literally cut into shreds by the
lash of their tormentors. I had read of the
horrors of Uncle Tom and dreamed of the
brutal Legree, but it was an image of fancy
that I never could persuade myself was pos
sible to exist as a tact. Yet last night I had
the evidence of nty own senses, and like
Thomas, who desired to put his fingers into
the gaping wounds, I am prepared to douht
no longer. These poor people were dragged
from their homes at dead of night, carried a
distance, and then stripped of their clothing
and lashed and beaten until their persecutors
became tired of such hellish work. The
woman’s back was terribly mutilated and torn,
and I never desire to witness such a sight
again. Their only offence, so far as known,
appears to be that they were Republicans, one
of them having been selected as a manager at
one of the polling places. They know all the
men who committed the outrage, but when ar
rested and brought before a magi;late tor pre
liminary examination every one of them is
able to prove an alibi by a score of witnesses
if need be. Trials here aic a farce, and jus
tice is nothing but a mockery. The civil au
thorities are powerless to protect these pour
inoffensive people, and unless the U. S. Gov
ernment can enforce the Fifteenth and other
amendments to the Constitution the colored
people may just as well be remanded at once
to the tender mercies of the fiends incarnate.
The names of these people are Clem ISowden,
Minerva, his wife, and Daniel Lipscomb.
The Governor, United States Senator Rob
ertson, Congressman lloge, and several oth
ers saw these poor creatures and heard their
story. It was enough to melt the heart of an
anchorite. An old gray-haired white man.
another of the election managers, was treated
in the same manner, and subjected to other
indignities too indecent to mention. And yet
the very tnen who commit these outrages
boast of their “superior intelligence,” their
culture and refinement, and, strange to say,
they find plenty of supporters among the peo
ple of the North.”
POLITICAL.
The Albany Express calls attention to the
fact that in a period of thirty-three years the
State of New York has never been held by the
same political party more than four consecutiv e
years.
The Mobile liegister mixes Massachusetts
politics up fearfully. It makes that “old
bowling dervish Wendell Phillips” the radical
candidate for Governor.
It is said that there are about 15,000 in
dictments agninst radicals in New York city,
and that Old Tammany holds these indict
ments over the heads of his political serviles
to compell them to do his dirty and criminal
work at the polls.
The Democrats of St. Louis, at one plunge,
have gone head and ears into the most de
moralizing mire that they ever fiung at the
radicals. They have accepted into the party
a negro who deserted the radical party, and
have even consented to run him for Congress.
It only remains to show that the “nigger” is a
carpet-bagger now to snup the foundation of
all the self-respect that the Missouri demo
crats have ever professed to have.—New York
Herald.
A seeker for the privilege of American citi
zenship in New Y’ork the other day inquired
of a gentleman in City llall Park as to where
he could get his naturalization papers. Ik
ing told that the time had expired during
which they could be obtained to be of use at
the next election, he retorted, “Well, thin
I'll vote without ’em as I did last year. I was
a thinking, maybe wid this Fideral law it
would be convaynant to have 'em ; hut, sure,
Tammany will see me through.”
The young Democracy of New York have
decided in committee to support the democrat
ic State ticket, hut to fight Tammany on local
issues. Stewart has retired from the sixth
district and left the field to Greeley to run
against “Sunset Cox.”
Trouble is feared in the election at I'.dti
uiore and the troops at Fort McHenry are
ordered to be in readiness in case of riot.
The Hon. J. J. Hinds of Alabama brings
neVs to Washington that the republican ticket
will he elected by at least JO.00) majority ;
that Major Norris, the Republican candidate
for Congress in the Third District, whose elec
tion has been heretofore considered doubtful,
is now almost ceitain of success; that the
only districts in the State which the 1 Jcntocrats
claim are the Fifth and Sixth ; but hopes are
entertained for Mr. Masterson, the Republi
can candidate in the Sixtli District; that the
Republican majority in the gitdature will
be at least 20 on joint ballot, which insures
the election of a Republican Senator in Sena
tor Warner** place; and that Renjamiu Tur
ner, the colored nominee in the Mobile Dis
♦
triet, will be elected by uver 1,000 majority,
notwithstanding thi* defection of certain lie
publicans, who oppose negro candidates.
THE SEW I) lAH OSD FIELDS.
'J'iie newly discovered diamond fields in
Africa, at the Cape of Good Hope, are oc
cupying the attention ol news gatherers
and tilling columns of the newspapers.
The bare suggestion that diamonds are to
iie had only for tin: picking of them up
from the dirt, where their brightness lias
been entombed for ages, is exciting, and
thousands will probably ru>h to the new
diggings without counting the cost, or
considering whether, the statements put
forth are reliable or not. The Tribune in
an editorial has made a summary of the
facts so far reported about the new fields
from which we copy:
j It is about four years since the first dia
mond was found in South Africa, 'i his was
i a stone estimated at the time to be worth
about $2,500. In the course of a year five or
six more were picked up by natives and sold to
colonists for a mere trifle. In the third year
a fine stone of 83 1-2 carats, now known as
"The Star of South Africa,” was barter, d
away to a cattle dealer, and alter passing
through several hands finally sold for £24,
000. This was but a trifle compared with
such famous gems as the Begem diamond,
worth a million of dollars, or the famous
jewel belonging to the Sultan of Mntan in
Borneo, valued at three millions and a half;
but it was quite enough to cause a rush ot em
igration from Natal and t ape Town, and it is
reported that from 1,500 to 2,000 persons are
now engaged in the search.
The diamond field is represented as cover
ing an area of no less than 1,000 square miles,
principally in the Orange Biver Free State,
i hut stretching on the one side into the Trans
vaal Bcpuhlic, and on the other into the Brit
ish Cape Colony. The definition includes the
, most remote points at which there are rumors
of any discoveries; but the excitement ot the
search is concentrated in a tract a tew miles
in extent on both sides of the Vaal Biver.
near its junction with the Orange, about MOh
miles from Cape Town. The jurisdiction
over the land is in dispute between several
native chiefs and the two Boer republics ot
Transvaal and the Orange Free State, while
Dutch missionaries also claim , territorial
proprietorship in certain pans of the field,
and exact irom miners a royally of one-quar
tet of the find. These disputes give the mi
ners little concern, for they have organized a
republic of their own, elected a provisional
government, and made preparations to de
clare themselves independent. Thus far they
seem to have lived peaceably and orderly—
being probably too busy to make trouble.
The wildest stories, of course, are circulat
ed respecting the value of the discoveries;
hut thus tar no trustworthy statistics have
been published. The latest advices trout the
Cape report rich developments at the l’nicl
diggings, where 74 diamonds have been touud
in one week, and £1 0U0paid to the missiona
ry us royally. Supposing the royalty m have
been honestly paid (which we grant is sup
posing a good deal), we shall have $20,000
for the value of seventy-four diamonds—an
average ot $270 a piece. There are nearly
one thousand men at work in this district.how
ever, and they seem to have worked for a
long while with only moderate luck. .The
stroke of good luca over which the South
African papers are now rejoicing lias yielded
the fortunate miners only $20 u piece. Tin
Cape Argus conjectures that the value of all
the diamonds unearthed since the discovery
of the Star of South Africa must be about
£100,000, that the yield at present is about
120 or 150 stones a week. Conjectures as to
the value of tile product are ot little worth,
lor they must rest only or. the hearsay testi
mony of inexperienced witnesses. The dig
gings are remote and hard to reach. Compar
atively few stones therefore find their way at
once to market, and we have only the guesses
of immigration agents, forwarders, and colo
nial journalists as to the treasures which the
fortunate adventurers mny have put away in
their pockets, waiting a convenient opportu
nity to sell. We only know that nearly ali
the stones thus tar seen have been very small
—most of them worth only a few dollars ; and
none—not even the Star of South Africa—-can
be said to possets exceptional brilliancy. The
search, however, lias been conducted ill a ran
dom, superficial manner, by merely scraping
the surlace toil and washing or sifting tin
gravel in which the gems are found; so that
though the result has not yet been sufficiently
briliant to tempt emigration from distant
shores, it is by no means unlikely that titor,
careful aid systematic methods of digging
will prove Sauth Africa to be one ot the rich
est diamond-lands on the globe.

LETTER FROM ROCKLAND.
Rockland, Oct. 31, 1670.
To the Editor of the Daily Journal:
I have never seen any thing equal to the j
vigor with which the Rockland hack-drivers j
prosecute their business, i have traveled j
some—am quite familiar with tin* style of]
hack-drivers in various parts ol the world:
have seen some enterprise displayed by them
in New York, San Francisco and St. Louis;
have run the gun ni let of a double file of them,
with a good sized valise in my hand, many a
time, and come out without a scratch; have j
had some experience in a Sacramento three
card-monte house; have been through a whole
block of New York Jew dealers in ready
made c lothing; and know something of the
active business habits of a New York Peter
Funtk auction shop. But for smartness and
dash in their employment, commend me to
the Rockland liack-men.
I embarked in Portland for Koekland in the
steamer Kiclunond last Friday night, with my
wife and little boy. Arrived at Koekland
about four o'clock the next morning. Beside
ourselves, there was but one other* passenger
for Koekland—an old lady. The boat having
touched the wharf, we started for the gang
way to step ashore—wife on one arm and lead
ing my boy by the other. As we came out of
the saloon i was instantly seized by three
stout men. w hile another seized my Toy, and
several others my wife, and a great many oth
ers surrounded us in the darkness, all shout
ing, and screaming, and pulling and hauling, '
in a jargon and confusion truly terrific.
“What means this mob,” I shouted—“what
have I done to deserve this treatment,” as I
was pulled away from my wife arid boy.
Louder and fiercer were the yells, and I now
distinguished a shriek of “free ride io the
.1- House /" and another superhuman
scream of “/o /.- House, free ride and free
rum /” In vain I hung back, bawling till I was
hoarse that 1 did not want to go to either the
A- House or the Z- House; my resist
ance w as useless in the brawny hands of three
Koekland hack-drivers, and my voice was
drowned in the demoniac yelling of the eight,
eon hack-men who had come for us four pas
sengers, and was bound to have u«—dead or
alive—whole or in pieces. They meant busi- j
ness. I was unarmed, anu my wile anu the j
old lady could render me no assistance. “My
trunk !’’ I shouted, “let me see to my trunk.”
At this two other hack-men dashed through
the crowd that surrounded me, and thrust
their hands iido my pockets. I shouted for
the police, supposing them to lie pick-pockets
“Your baggage check, we want your check,’
and they got it in less time than it takes me
to tell it, but not in season to avoid a pair of
black eyes which one of them got, from a
finely delivered blow by one of the men hav
ing me in charge, lie evidently considered
me his game; no npp< sition house could pick
me with impunity. I was then boosted into a
coach and a guard was stationed at each door
to keep me lroru escaping. I looked out into
the darkness and shouted for my wife anti hoy.
All my screaming was useless. The crowd of
enterprising hack-men were surging up with
yells and cries to which “pandemoniums let
loose” must have been techie, pummelling
each other with fists and whip-stocks. Above
the din I heard a woman's shrill cry. As the
crowd approached ntarer I discerned the old
lady home upon the shoulders of several of
the vigilant hack-men ot thu “A-House,’’
wliilst the equally enterprising drivers of the
“Z- House" were making a dashing charge j
for her re-capture. They had already taken j
her bonnet, traveling bag, parasol, shawl, and ;
all the other loose articles of clothing she
had on, and were row making a gallant dish
for the body. The perseverance and business
like promptness with which both sides man
aged the allair was surprising, but the sope- 1
j-ior agility of the “Z- House" men tri- j
umpheil. The passenger was torn from the j
other tide, thrown inton hut k and away it j
dashed at lightning speed into the darkness. I
have not heard from the old* lady since, al
though I have carefully scanned the obituary
notices of all the papers of this vicinity.
The coach in which 1 was confined was next
attacked, and my rescue attempted by the op
position, and I am certain I was only saved by
the fleetness of the horses which -lashed away,
and in their course crushed a light carriage
for the “Z—~ House," and ran over one of
their drivers. 1 was landed at the “A
House.” The driver generously refused any
fare. Five very polite gentlemen waited up
on me out of the carriage, urging me strongly
to enter the house, breakfast and hoots black
ed gratia, hut ascertaining that my wife and
child were not there, 1 peremptorily refused
their hospitality, and went forth in search of
them. My wife I heard from during the day.
She had been hauled to tho “Z-House,”
but refusing to stop at that hotel without her
husband and boy, although they offered to
pay her three dollars for so doing, the enter
prising driver had gone to St. George with
her for fear she would go to the “A
House.” My boy I have not yet found, but it
is thought he may be in Waldoboro' or Bath,
as both places are included in the route of
some of these drivers, and the passage en
tirely free provided the passenger is taken
from the steamboat
This is the way the Rockland hack-men do
business. Their vigilance is unsurpassed.
Their industry will doubtless be rewarded, but
it is difficult for n stranger like me to see
where the reward comes in. It is a vigorous
stylo ot enterprise, but it lias its little draw
backs to tiie traveler. It is pleasant to sec
honest industry pushed, but the zeal of a
Rockland hack-man is too ardent for the real
enjoyment of the passenger who happens to
have any inclination of his own as to what lie
would like to do with himself and his wife
and children. In fact, the Rockland hack
men are too obliging—too accommodating. 1
have no doubt they w ill prosper. Such ener
gy will have its reward. Such generosity
will be repaid, and when they can no longer
afford to run free hacks, I have no doubt the
traveling public will be willing to pay them a
reasonable fare. Count S. Fondest.

The Argus says that on Tuesday morning
the porgie steamer Victoria, ow ned by David
S. Willis of Mystic, Connecticut, which had
been lying in Portland harbor under attach
ment, in charge of a keeper, Mr. Simeon
Walker of Cape Elizabeth, since the 23d of
September, was taken out of port and disap
peared in a very quiet way. The steamer was
seized for debt lor stores, fuel, &c., incurred
in carrying on these operations, which are
said to have proved quite unremunerative.
Proper measures were at once taken by the
authorities for the retaking of the steamer,and
Wednesday night deputy Sheriff Adams left
fur Poston, which port she was reported as hav

The sheep trade is carried on extensively
in the Aroostook country. T. M. liichardson,
says tlu^Sunrise. passed through Presque Isle
recently with 300 sheep which he had col
lected in Maysville and vicinity. They were
very large and beautiful sheep. The next
day Culumbus llayford, of Maysville, passed
through Presque Isle with 340 sheep and sev
eral head of cattle collected in the northern
part of the county.
The Lewiston Journal says that the prac
tice of eating arsenic to whiten the complex
ion, which has become so common among
women of a certain class in our large cities,
has reached Lewiston: and the records oj
sales of all the apothecaries—as required by
law in case of poisons—show that many young
ladies are constant puchasers and eaters of
this deadly poison.
The money-order business is steadily in
creasing at the Bangor Post Oflice. During
the month ot September ltlO money orders
were sold, amounting to §3,422 82, and or
ders were paid to the amount of So,350.54.
The office received on deposit from other of
fices, .$4,598, and remitted §2,290 during the
above uamcd month.
The schooner Dreadnaught, Henry E. Wil

crew of eleven men.
R. S. Ambrose, lor many years a highly es
