Appleton' Journal for July 15 :s a number
replete with interest to Charlestonlans. MasBrs.
0. B. Bunce and Harry Fenn-the former the
- editor and the latter the artist of the Journal
lately visited our city, and evidently made
good use of their memorandum and sketch
books during their stay. For the admirable
sketches of Mr. Fenn, Including the glorious
bird's-eye view from St. Michael's steeple, we
must refer our readers to the Journal Itself,
which may be had at Holme3'3 bool- house, or
. at the Hasg} street Bazaar. The letter of Mr.
Bunce which accompanies and heightens the
Mite rest . f these sketches,-contrasts so pleas-.]
anti? in its genial tone with the accounts sent
by the political correspondents, that we are
sure our readers will thank os for giving it to
them entire. Mc-Bonce writes:
If one go to Charleston from -the North r let
him go in the spring time. The almost sud?
den change from wintry landscape and bleak
winds to summer sons and summer foliage ls
a delightful surprise. If it chance with the
traveller, as lt chanced with Mr. Fenn and the
writer, that the steamer nail away from the
New York wharf amid the rain and wind of a
ip> Northern March, that all the way southward
V cloud and storm surround and beset - the ves?
sel, and then at once come with the longed-for
sun. tho wished-for harbor, the sudden sweet
ness andi beauty of the scene will seem to him
a transition to a terrestrial paradise.
Because Charleston lies low, and seems to
rise up ont of tho waters as one sails up to It,
' it has b ien called the American Venice. It
may be doubted if one would think of this
' comparison If the g/ide-books did notsuggest
it. There are charm s enough iii' the American
city to please even an experienced traveller,
but one would scarcely find his appreciation of
them enhanced by recalling the wonders of
'. the Bride of the Adriatic. If in no true sense
a Venice, Charleston yet rises with charming
effect from the sea. The long, palm-studded
shores of the bay,'the islands and forts that
dot its surface, the mansions that front the
?waten,, and the spires that lift to the skies,
all make up a very pretty picture. -
The first Impression.the streets of Charles?
ton give ls that of retiring respectability.
There are no splendid avenues, no imposing
public structures, but a few Une old churches,
and many noble private mansions standing in
a sort of dingy stateliness amid their embow?
ering magnolias, command youflptttention.
Our New York custom, derived from our
Dutch ancestors, of painting our brick fronts
ra not in vogue here, where the houses have
the sombre'out rich toning that age alone can
give when its slow pene ii lin gs are never dis?
turbed by the rude totrusio: q$ihe painter's
brush. The Charleston mant ms are nearly
always built with gable-end to ilie ?treet. At
one side risesT a tier of open verandas, Into
the lower of which the main entrance to the
building is.placed. Usually, after the English
fashion, a high brick wall encloses the. grounds
of the house, and it is only through an open
gateway that one catches a glimpse ot flowers,
and shrubs and vines, that bloom and expand
within the enclosure. But the rich dark- green
of the magnolia half screens the nnsmootned
brick walls far above, and seems to hold the
ancient structure l?. the husjr of venerable
repose. W
It ls quite! possible the somewhat rude sur?
t?a, face and antique color of the brick houses In
Charleston weald fall to-please the taste of
Northerners reared amid the supreme n?w
ness Of our always reconstructing cities. But
every one ought to travel In the company of an
artist. It ls only when associated with one of
this Instructed class that a man discovers the
use ol his eyes, and begins to understand
fully the beauties and Harmonies, and rich
effects that pertain to many things neglected
fay ordinary observers. These time-tinted
mansions of Charleston, to the eye of an ar?
tist, have {nany charms. In my own^case I
found it a good training to hear enthusiastic
Mr. Fehn dilate upon this- blt.of color, this
?l mose bi rich toning, this .new and surpris
g effect. It was even a revelation sometimes
to see him extract a picture out of apparently
* the most unfavorable material. Nothing, in?
deed, seemed foreign to him but the merely
pretty. Sweet, new houses' of a respectable
firimness have no attraction for his artistic
onglnga. Fresh paint is his abomination.
The glare of the new enters like lian into .bis
soul.- But a fine blt ot dilapidation, a rtiln
With a vine clambering over it, a hut all awry,
with a group of negroes in their flaring tur?
bans set 'against the gaping walls, old chim?
neys and old roots; the dark grays and browns
that form into such rich pictures in au old
town, these things would be snre to catch his
eye and .delight his fancy. In these semi?
tropical places there'are' a hundred bits that
would be admirable for a sketch in oil or4
water colors, that would lose their value in
black and white. It ls a pity that divine color
cannot enter Into engraving.
The search for the picturesque that, would
meet the necessities pf our purpose was not
expeditions. It is only after walking ?round a
place, and surveying lt from different situa?
tions, that an artist can Bettie upon his point
of view. We were three days In Charleston,
ere Mr. Fenn discovered the prospect from St.
Michael's belfry, and to this the reader's atten?
tion is solicited. If he does not think it very
good, I shall be tempted to denounce his artis?
tic appreciation. Note the far stretch of sea
and the long, low shor??; there ls Fort Sumter
far down the bay, and - nearer the famous Cas?
tle Pinckney, a fortress that stands guard In
the direct approach to the town. The portion
of the city which. this -view -commands is Its
most ancient quarter. Many of the buildings
were t-iected in colonial times, and up to the
period of the Revolution this comprised nearly
the entire city.'' The chimneys are of a quaint
fashion,'and the roofs are mostly of grooved
red tiles. The wide, street to the left of the
picture is-the Charleston Wall street, where
congregate ali the banks and banking-houses,
brokers' offices and law-offices. Here assem?
ble the merchants and brokers; here are effect?
ed those transactions in commerce and finance
so dear to the heart .of the money-making
world. The building at the foot of the street
ls the ancient customhouse, which during the
recent war was rudely hustled by manyan
irreveredti shell, unciramonlonsly battered by
ball and* petard, and now stands a broken and
shattered reminiscence of by-gone belligeren?
cy. This structure, which dates back; oelore
the independence ot the. colony, is dear to the
Charlestonlans. It has always excited their'
patriotic sympathies, for here during the Revo-'
muon the patriot prisoners were confined, und
from its portals the heroic martyr Hayne was
led to execution.
The old buildings that the church looks
down upon are not- more ancient than the
church itself. St. Michael's was built lu 1752
-it is said from designs by a pupil ot Slr
Christopher Wren.- The tower is considered,
very fine, and the situation ot the church
makes the spire a conspicuous object far out
at Bea* During the siege ol'.Charleston'in jJie
late war ii was ? mark for the Federal .artil?
lerymen; but though persistently shelled, it
was struck but a few times, and then only
with slight Injury.
Another of the ancient churches lu Charles?
ton ts St Philip's. This was the first church
establishment in Charleston; but the present,
structure, which is the third erected by the
parish, although ot venerable age, is yet not
.anita so old as St.- Michael's. The view from
the spire ls. fine: but there ls a keener Interest
In the graveyard than even in the old church
itself, lor here aie , met with at every turn
those family names that have BO long been as
sooiaiea in honor, not only with Charleston,
but'with the whole country-Gadsden, Rut?
ledge nnr". Pinckney. Ia the portion of the
graveyard that lies across the roadway is the
tomb of Calhoun. It consists ora plain gran?
ite slab, supported by walls ol brick, and for
inscription has simply the name of "CAL
? HOON." St: 'Philip's, with its embowering
trees, its ancient gravestones, its scarred and
.broken walls, its marks ol hostile shells, Its
surroundings of old buildings, the tiled roof bf
which show quaintly through the green of the
trees, affords a picture that is picturesque and
pleasing.
Charleston has been accused of not having
-f
a public park: but the- promenade knowe
the Battery is an enclosure which, if en

. Our expedition to'the ?Bhley we shall Io

ton friends, whose hospitality justified the BOC
reputation of the city. The- political el?mer,
composing the party were as antagonistic
possible; but, regardless of North or. Soul
the Ku-Klux, or the fifteenth amendment, i
gathered in peace. - There were Ju our ami
company a Northerner, who had fought und
the Union flag, a descendant, ol one of t
proudest names of Revolutionary fame; a V:
ginian, e' s of a family of renown, whose lo
ol daring and danger bad led loto many

Federal cause had been marked all during tl
war; a sou of a distinguished journalist of Ne

with the Republican party; and, lastly, tl
writer, of whose political complexion it ls n
necessary to speak. But, in the face of i
these elements of difference, the company w
supremely harmonious; and the day, in tl
estimation of at least some of us. must 1
marked with a white stone.
The malu road.from Charleston into tl
country bas been frequently highly pralsei
and, although some er the fine trees that bo
dered lt have been destroyed, lt 1B still an av
nue of singular beauty. The road emerg
from Charleston almost Immediately into
green wilderness, and for a long distance it
canopied by the boughs of pines and oaks ac
magnolias with rich effect. There are no sigc
along the road, as would be the case lu ot
Northern section, ol the proximity of a grei
city. No houses or villas line the way; yo
seem a hundred miles from a town. You me?
occasionally a queer, slight carl, drawn by a
ox or a donkey; yon pass a group of sport!
men; you encounter now and then on the roa<
side a group of negroes.
We reached Ashley River by a sort of b i
road. Here a bridge once spanned the Btreah

negro ferrymen. A rope would aid the pa

In the art-of how not, to dcra thing. When w
reached the bank, tiru boat was on the op pc
site shore. The current was. swift; lt tool
fully half an hour to get the boat aver to us
and then the vessel could only accommod?t'
one ol bur two -vehicles. We were nearly t wi
hours getting our, forces to the opposite sid
of the stream.' Once on the opposite side, wi
were driven through a striking scene-a nar
row road winding through a superb Souther!
forest, where the mammoth live-oak and the
tall pine and princely magnolia {Magnolie
Sanai?ora) unite to lora vistas of rare beauty
ie live-oak of the Southern lowlands ls th?
most picturesque of trees. The famous Call tor
nla trees are of interest solely on account o
their magnitude. Their gigantic proportions im
pose upon the Imagination, it is true; but the'
lack altogether the quaint,fantastic and pictur?
esque form of the live-oak: - An artist could
make a series of studies of these trees in whlct
every one would be esseutlally peculiar lr
iorm. .
We were shown au avenue of live oaks,
standing in the very heart of tte lorest, thal
would maire a superb approach to the ti ne si
palace In Europe. But, alas ! here lt leads on h
to a ruined waste. A romantic story ls connect
ed with tills avenue, which some poet should
pu* in verse. The young owner of the estate -
this was many years ago-had brought a fall
bride from foreign lauds. A bridal cavalcade
swept out of Charleston to- escort groom' and
bride to the manorial mansion cn the Ashley.
The proud and eager groom, anxious tc
show his young wife the charms of bei
new home, urged ber steed ahead of the
rest, and. when they reached the avenue ol
oaks, called upon her to look abd admire.
Almost as they spoken cloud of smoke appear?
ed at the other end of the avenue, and In?
stantly flames of fire shot up among the tree?
tops. The old manor was tu a biaze, and the
bride arrived only tn time to see the destruc?
tion of her promised paradise. The young
husband was BO cast down, by this calamity
that he carried his wife abroad, and never re?
turned to bte American estate. Trees and
bushes have grown up. around'the old oaks,
but the avenue retains all its distinct majesty
amid tile encroaching growths of th? forest.
-Of all the" planters' houses that stood along
the Ashley, but one remains, and this ls aban?
doned. -'Drayton Hall'-' ls a large brick man?
sion, standing in the (?entre o? grounds of a
park-like character. The rooms are wainsoot
"ed from floor to ceiling, the fire-places arq
lined with old-fashioned colored tiles, and the
mantels are richly carved, but the building
was never entirely finished. The^ story
goes that lt was erected - lu ' exact
'copy of an English mansion, in or?
der to grattly the taste of the lady lo
whom the owner was betrothed. The wainscot,
the tiles, the carved mantels, and marble col?
umns, were all Imported from England; but,
ere the chivalrous lover had reproduced on
the Ashley a lull copy ot the house which had
oharmed lils be th roth ed on the Thames, the
lady died: and, since then, the unfinished
manor, like a broken -monumental column,
stands in its incompleteness a memorial of his
loss. It is now occupied by negroes. Its par?
lor is a granary. Its wainscot is badly marred,
and tho rare, colored tiles o? Its fireplaces have
been lu part carried off by predatory hands.
Our deatinatloajwas the estate known by the
name of "Magnolia," on the grounds of which
we were to lunch. This place ls almost a para?
dise, but a paradise in ruins.- The abundance
of magnolia: gives it its name, but these are
interspersed with immense oaks, and, at
the lime we were there, under the trees
a splendid display of jap?nicas and azaleas
filled the spaces with au of color such as we
had never seen.
The planter had given devoted attention to
azaleas, grouping the different shades of color
from while to deep scarlet ip delicate con?
trasts; and this flower, blooming on' bushes
from three to a dozen fret in height, lined all
the winding avenues, and flashed uuder the
shadows o? the magnolias a tropical splendor
of bloom that oiled us all with admiration.
And all this in the midst of desolation and
neglect, with overgrown pathways, unweeded
beds, and the blackened walls o? the home?
stead looking down upon the scene I A few
negroes were In possession, and one tall, mel
ancho!y, gray-haired mulatto, with all the-dig?
nity and deportment of-the old school, lifted
hts hat, and .said : "Welcome, gentlemen, to
Magnolia!". On the'border of a small lake
within the grounds, shadowed by the moss
hung ooughs ot the oak, we lunched; and then'
bade adieu to th? placer
The day after oar visit to Ashley Elver we
drove to a very old church on Goose Crees,
near Cooper River, and about seventeen miles
from Charleston. This church was ballt in
1711. It is situated in the very heart of a
forest, Is approached by a road scarcely better
than a bridle-path, and is entirely Isolated
from habitations of any sort. A deep ditch
surrounds the- building, uug as a means of
protecting the graves within it from wild ani?
mais. This church was saved irom destruc?
tion by the Tories during the Revolutionary
war ' n. 'account of the British arms that are
emb. led on the wall hist above the pulpit.
The interior ls very odd. Seventeen square
pews fill up the ground-floor, which, like all
old English churches, is of stone. A gallery
at one end has three or four rows ot benches,
and under this gallery are a few more benches
designed for the negro servants. The altar,
the reading-desk and the pulpit are so small,
and crowded in a space so narrow, that they
seem almost miniatures of those church fix?
tures. The monumental tablets on the side of
the altar are very oddly ornamented in lorin,
and, what .is still more -singular, are highly
emblazoned ia color. .Although these tablets
have, been-In their places over ene hundred
and fifty years, the colors retain apparently
all their original brilliancy. The lion and the
unicorn over the pulpit also preserve their
original* tints. These specimens of old-time
fresco gave us unelected proof of. the dura?
tion of this method of color-painting, and the
whole chancel in its gay tints and ornamental
carving seemed queerly out of place in'the
otherwise plain and rude structure.
Goose Creek Church was once the centre of
flourishing settlements,, but, with the decad?
ence that has come over the old Common?
wealth, the plantations are forsaken, and this
historical vestige stands, in the midst ol a wil?
derness, neglected and almost unknown. Trees
and bushes nave overgrown and hld the grave?
stones, and the native forest threatens in time
to obscure the very foundations of the budd?
ins. It is so usual with us to erect churches
in tie centre of settlements, with th? school?
house, the parsonage, and ether structures
I near, that thu odd Jedlfle?, standing so-far
apart from habitat ions .ot any kind,, seems sin?
gular enough.- Bat the system of the settle?
ment of the South, with large plantations and
few towns, partially explains the anomaly.
f '"Magnolia Cemetery" is one of the places in
Charleston to which strangers are directed.
?It ls a new cemetery, and Tts name ls rather
derived from what is.expected of it than what
lt exhibits'. ' So far, very few magnolias adorn,
lt, but there-are some live-oaks exceptionally
fantastic and queer in form. In this cemetery
ls a monument of Colonel Washington, whose
exploits in Jtho-Revolutton are well known; to
Hugh Swinton Legare, -one of the ripest
scholars South Carolina hos produoed; and in
,a vault repose the remains of Commodore Van
derhorst, wbpse coffin, shrouded with the
lunion Jack, may be seen through the latticed
?door of-the tomb.
1 Our visit to Charleston came.only too soon
:t? an end. We parted regretfully lrom the
friends whose hospitality'had been so gener?
ous, and with a measure ol' sorrow for the city
saddened with so many nfafortunes. We could
but recall the days wa en Wv as at the height of
its glory-when lt was the centre ola far-ex?
tending circle of brilliant homes, and its old
mansions echoed to the tread of famous,
statesmen and renowned women. *We recall
?the report bf the noted Elkanah Watson, who,
just after the revolution, travelled from Provi?
dence to Charleston in a buggy, and whose de?
scriptions of the towns and cities he visited
?are usually accepted "as trustworthy. The
Jwealth and luxury of Charleston surprise^ the
?Rhode Islander, and he speaks of tho aimost
"Asiatic splendor" in which the citizens
lived. Charleston was the centro of a some?
what peculiar civilization, and oae highly fa?
vorable to the cultivation ol the-'tew. lt was
resorted to in summer as a watering place by
the people of the country. The - planters
brough: with them wealth and leisure, and
these naturally led to luxurious taste and hab?
its. We doubt, if any * community of the
same number has produced so many men of
distinguished merit. Pinckney, Rutledge,
Gadsden, Legare are but the leading names of a
host of worthies who shed bright lustre on the
place. We may hope yet to see the old plan?
tations on the Cooper and the Ashley attain
a prosperity under the new dispensation as
brilliant as that they 'enjoyed under the old;
we may trust that the old mansions within
.the etty shall renew the social triumphs of
their brilliant past; and we may believe that
statesmen and men of letters will, not fall to
perpetuate that renown the famous city once'
so fairly won and so fully enjoyed.

A SCARE ZN AUSTRALIA'.
SAN FRANCISCO,. July 10.
A steamer from Australia brings accounts of
a recent scare, caused. by the report that a
piratical exp?dition was fitting ont in San
Francisco to make a descent on the island.
The colonists expended some million of dol?
lars, called out volunteers, erected earthworks:
and improvised a fleet to repel the filibusters,
before they*discovered that the story was a
canard originating with two boys,, who started
-it as a Joke, not dreaming of the excitement lt
would create.

CtKcrsxATi, July ll.
Arrangements wiU.be made to-day to com?

city.
The storm in the county was equally destruc?
tive. A falling tree crushed a farm house near
Dayton, and killed two persons. The damage
is estimated at a million of dollars.
TTPp-SETTITi O-BT STEAM.
The following ls from a London letter by M.
D. Conway in the Cincinnati Commercial:
One invention, however, did interest me: it
was a, steam type-composing machinei A Mr.
Mackie, of Warrington, has patented this affair,
and it is now used In' several printing offices,
among others that of the Graphic, of London.
The Invention consists of two machines. One
of these ls a small one which has a key-board,
like a plano, of fourteen keys. The- operator
sets bet?re him the copy which is to be put in
type, and manipulates the keys, whereupon
there ls evolved from beneath an interminable
strip of poper, two .Inches wide, which is full
.of.punctures. Ei-.h one of these punctures
corresponds with a letter of the written copy.
The whole manuscript having thus been copied
in punctures the roll of punctured paper is set
in a machine that looks like an iron centre 1
table. 'The top of : he centre-table bas all
around on its edge little boxes containing type.
The top. of the table then revolves. The pune- i
tured paper runs around, and when a certain
type neededls.reached, a.lit*,Ie lever falls (by
' reason of the opening allowed one end ol lt j
by the hole la tte paper j the other end touch-,
.lng and. selecting the letter that is needed.
The type so selected falls into the place, and
the row of selected type pours ia continuous
8tream'out upon a regular composer's stick,'
which, as fast as* it ls filled, Is removed to the
form. This may all .seem complex ia the
description, but it seem- wonderlaily smooth
and simple when seen. A man engaged at
ihe Derlorator, and three boys at the com?
poser to feed. the boxes with type, and
space out the lines, set- up a newspaper
? c?lumu large as- one of the Times' iu oue"
! hour, which Mr. Mackie maintains Ts equal
! to the composition of eight men. It econo
[ raizes fifty per cent, of outlay. The invent
; or has been ten-years on it, and has now
certainly gained a success. When our commer?
cial-ho uses have Babbidge's calculators instead
of clerks, and our newspaper offices have re?
volving centre-tables instead ol compositors,
why should not Mr. Carlyle's dream ol an
iron automatic prime minister be realized?
The Republicans of 'England will do the
handsome thing by any Yankee who will,
invent aa automaton. Queen that can sign
her name and not have a large family.
To returo to Mr. Mackie for a moment. I
may add that his machine costs ?500, and
the inventor advertises that he is prepared to
undertake type-setting .for one year In any
house that purchases, at three pence per
thousand,' (whatever the size o? type) set in
eighteen inch lines. Mackie is proprietor ot

WASHINGTON, . July 8.
The day following the incarceration of
Bowen in the jail, in this city he commenced,
through friends, to obtain petitions in -behalf
of the application for pardon, and the papers
accumulated from various sources were pre?
sented to the President on the occasion of hts
last visit to Washington, and by him referred
to the attorney-general. On the afternoon of
Friday, Jone 30, Mr. Bowen became convinc?
ed that If his wife should visit Long Branch'
and present to the President certain.facts, it
would, In connection with previous represen?
tations, have a good effect. Accordingly that
evening Mrs. Petlgru-Kibg-Bowen, m com?
pany with a friend, left for Long Branch,
and arrivedgat the West End Hotel about
12 o'clock. On Saturday she proceeded to the
President's cottage and sent her card lo Mrs.
Grant, with whom she has .been personally
acquainted for a number of years past. The
President and bis family were at the time ab?
sent from the residence, abd the card was
taken to the President, who at once returned
in company with Mrs. Grant. The interview
with the President was brief, not lasting more
than five minutes, but during that time Mrs.
Bowen received the assurance that her hus?
band'should be pardoned, and that be would
telegraph immediately to Attorney-General
Akerman to make out the necessary papers.
Subsequently Mrs. Bowen saw Mrs. Grant and
was Informed that the telegram had been sent.
Returning to the hotel, she seat the following
telegram to her husband:
Loso BRANCH, N. J.. July 1-2.20 P. M.

Mrs. Bowen lett Long Branch that afternoon
for Washington, and arriving here Sunday
morning at once proceeded to the jail and In?
formed her husband of the success ol her visit,
to the effect, that, the President had ordered
the pardon papers to be made out and forward?
ed to Long Branch without delay. The papers
were made out on Saturday afternoon last and
sent to the State Department ?y Attorney

they would be malled that evening, and on the

visited the State department that day and the
day following without receiving any encour?
ageront. On Thursday she called at the At?
torney-General's office without receiving any
Information. Subsequently she ?net Senator
Spencer^)! Alabama, who ask ea her li that
pardon uml come. Being in for med'that lt had
not. Senator Bpencer-replled:
"No, abd it Is not going td come."
"How do you know that ?" said Mrs. Bowen.
Tho Alabama senator, who had just return?
ed from a pilgrimage to thc Branch, where he
went in hope that he could Induce the Presi?
dent to revoke the commission of ex-Senator
Warner as collector of the port of Mobile, re?
plied, rtI Just.came from Long Branch, and
while there I talked with .Tom.Murphy on the
subject of your husband's pardon, and Mr.
Murphy said he and General Porter had come"
to the conclusion that it was not expedient for
the President to pardon Mt*. Bowen, and he
will not be pardoned."
Surprised at* this information, Mrs. Bowen
promptly telegraphed to General Porter the
substance-of Senator Spencer's remarks, and
an hour after was Informed by telegraph,-"Pa-"
pers go by mall to-night:" and sure-enough
they aid, although they 'did not reach Wash?
ington until last night. They were sent to the
State Department this morning, and at ten
minutes past three a messenger trom the State
Department called at tpe ial, bearing a large
envelope ("untalnlagthViong-expecred docu?
ment. Bowen at the time was conversing with
some friends beneath the shade of the Jail yard
trees, and one of the party, discovering that
the seal of the State Department was upon the
envelope, cried out, "Bowen, yonr pardon has
arrived at last !"
The prisoner's face beamed with joy. While
the .party gathered about the messenger, Im?
patient to get at the contents, the warden dis?
covered that the document was addressed to
United States Marshal Sharp, and having no
authority to release a prisoner, the messenger,
was directed to tr.ke the papers to that official,
whose office ls but a few squares distant from
the. Jail. At half-past three o'clock Bailiff
Grist arrived at the Jail and handed the war?
den the'following letter :
; UNITED STAT.* S MAES SAL'S OFFICE, )
.WASHIKOTOS Crrv, .?. c., July 8,1871. J
J. C. Crocker, ESQ., Warden U. S. Ja?. D. C.:
- Sra-I have ibu day received the President of
th?. United States* warrant of pardon for O. C.
.Bowen, now contine! In Jail under sentence of
bigamy. Ten will release the said 0. C. Bowen
from mrtber Imprisonment Upon the receipt of
this letter. I have the honor to remain, Ac,
ALEXANDER SHARP, C. S. Marshal, D. 0.
The letter having been read and congratula?
tions passed, Mr. Bowen repaired to his cell,,
where fae packed Up bis few articles of cloth?
ing and bade his keepers good-by. He at
once proceeded to his residence, on Four?
teenth street, near L, and very unexpectedly
surprised his wlfev who bad become more and
more anxious, as the arrival of the papers had
been delayed. Shortly after his return home
?our correspondent called upon the ex-mem
er of Congress and was cordially welcomed.
The residence of Mr. Bowen-In a fashionable
Sart, ol the city-la a neat two story brick
welling, which was completed but a lew
months ago. The surroundings were cheer?
ful; but the parlors had a deserted look, which
was explained by Mr. Bowen saying that dur?
ing his troubles bis wife had the carpets
removed and most of the furniture
packed up. In ihe hall were numer?
ous boxes marked "C. C. Bowen, M.
G., Washington," containing official doc?
uments. A few paintings and engravings
adorned the walls of the spacious parlors, and,
with the exception of halt a dozen chairs, in
green reps, there was but little indication ot a
home, in reply tc the question whether he
had heard of a requisition from Governor
Hoffman, .of New York, for his arrest to an?
swer the charge of tampering with the records
ol the courts of New York', lu procuring what
purported to be a divorce from that city "from
Francis Hicks Bowen," the released bigamist
Bald :
"I have not, and do not know how such
a story wassel rculated. All that I can say ls,
that I am ready to go te New York of my own
will and answer any questions as a-witness,
or act, ii it be necessary, in the character of a.
defendant. I am sure that I eau fully satisfy
everybody that the divorce obtained In 1865,
in that city, was -perfectly legitimate and In
accordance with the application filed."
He then went on to explain his grounds for
claiming a divorce In New York State, and
said that he was a citizen and resident of New
York from 1858 to the breaking out ol the war,
and that iii I860 he had already consulted a
lawyer In New York, with the'view of obtain?
ing a divorce. It was necessary that he should
visit the South, and believing that there would
be no war, he remained In Charleston until he
was unable to return North, was conscripted
and compelled to serve lu the Southern army.
Alter the fall ol Charleston he returned to New
York, never having yielded his citizenship in
that State, and, having procured the necessary
papers, be placed them lu the hands of bis
lawyer, with whom he had consulted five vears
before. In regard to the divorce, which* was
granted June 1,1865, Mr. Bowen contends that
In every respect the procurement of the di?
vorce was legal, and that subsequently he was
assured by parties who knew his former wife
that she was dead, in regard to hi? present
marriage relations he Bald that Caleb Gushing
had kindly volunteered to investigate the
law in the case and Bettie every question In?
volved. The whole subject would be
thoroughly Investigated by him, and he was
confident that In the end he could prove that
he had been the victim of malicious prosecu?
tion. He laid considerable stress on the fact
that he had tor nearly five years acted under
the conviction that he was divorced from
Frances Hicks Bowen, and denied any crimi?
nal intent in marrying Mrs. Petlgru King. In
Sroof of the esteem .of those who knew him,
e-said that the petitions lor his pardon were
numerous, and came from various quarters.
One was signed by Governor Scott, of South
Carolina, and all tho State officers under him;
another by the merchants of Charleston, a
third by voters of his Congressional district,
and another by the leading business men of
this city. "Besides," remarked Mr. Bowen,
"the President ls- fully satisfied that I acted
sincerely, and that T never would have mar?
ried Mrs. King had I not believed that I had
been lawfully separated from my first wife."
Concerning the election of Bowen from the
Second ^outh Carolina District, and the al
;teged scheme ot DeLarge, htsopponent, to de?
fraud him of his seat In Congress through j
false returns made by the county com mis Mon?
era of election In that district, Mr.. Bower re?
marked that In one county there the turee
commissioners- who conspired to defraud him
of the election were now servings ont a sen?
tence bf two years each In the Penitentiary
for perjury. Ihe testimony filed before the
committee on elections of the House of Repre?
sentatives would fully .substantiate au that he
had claimed, while additional evidence was
being collected every day to .contest the right
of DeLarge to the seat to which he was
elected. Mr. Bowen states that, while the
prosecution of his case for bigamy, was pend?
ing, he was assured If he would agree to di*-'
continue contesting the right of DeLarge t?J
his seat that proceedings In nlB case would be '
stopped at once. Of this, Bowen says he has
the proof, and this waa undoubtedly one of
the strongest reasons the President bad for
pardoning him to-day. ''Now, that I am,
liberated," he said, "I will continue to mass
evidence in favor of. my seat in Congress, and
I am confident from .the testimony already in
and to be produced that-l will be awarded my
seat." ....
Mrs. Petlgru-King-Bowen here < interrupted
the .conversation, in an affectionate** manner,
excusing her intrusion by the remark that she
was sorry to part from him after her trial,
even for so short a time, but business required
her tonin down town. j?See," she said to me,
"how careworn my poor husband looks. His
hair, once glossy black, is now silver gray
the result of six long months of persecution."
HIB hair is gray, bat not with years;
Nor grew it white la a single night,
As men's have grown from sudden .ears.
Mr. Bowen, states that he wi}l preoare for
publication, at his earliest convenience', a com-'
plete history of his case, and intends In every
respect to conform to the law.- .
VICTORIOUS GERMANT.
I Tbe Emperor's Policy Free from Plana
of Conquest- Xo thought or Heligo?
land,.
The Cologne Gazette says : "A short time
ago, when a parliamentary Interpellation was
addressed to the English Ministry, with re?
spect to a desire which Germany was supposed
to entertain for the possession of Heligoland,
a good deal of mirth'was excited in Germany
at the unfounded character of Buch , appre?
hensions. The German Government ls* cer?
tainly far from entertaining any intention
of making a 'demand for a little rock In the
ocean to which lt-has no legal claim what?
ever,, and by doing BO to prejudice our re?
lations to the power which we have a
right to consider bur natural. olly. Un?
fortunately several German'papers'have not
shown the same moderation-, and at a time:
'when we ought to praise and thank God for
ail we possess and .have lately gained, they
begin to cast covetous glances on the proper?
ty ot others. They desire Heligoland, 'because
we want it'-about the most frivolous and Im?
pudent of reasons. The robber, too, demands
our parses, 'because he wants them.' The
second reason advanced by these thoughtless
scribes is, however, still more Impertinent:
'England,' they say, 'has no .right to Heligo?
land.' Now, England possesses- Heligoland
by virtue or the treaties of 1816, on which
th? present condition bf Europe ls essentially
based. If we intend to call In question the
legality of those arrangements, we ought not
to have celebrated any peace festival, but have
declared war In permanence." .
The Volks-Zeltung Bays : "We perceive with
deep pala and indignation that the first days
of returning peace are poisoned by an irrita?
ble desire to sow new conflicts as the seed ot
future wars. Oar German country has. only
Just attained a rough external. uclty, without.
any thorough'"organization, and busy bands
are lound to sow destruction, to foster the dis?
cords existing in Austria in the hope'-of bring?
ing about the fall of that Empire, and divert?
ing the German provinces conaected with lt
from their great task of spreading German
culture among the Slavonians, we hardly
know how to organise the German districts
lust regained, so that Alsace and Lorraine
may not become a mere thorn in a healthy
body, like a conquered piece ?f Poland and
Venetia, and already too zealous hands are
endeavoring to cast a netbver Heligoland, and
to add to the number of enemies which we have
made in the last ten years England, which
never disturbed our peace but was tor genera?
tions our Instructor in culture, Industry, and
the legislative development of the political
rights of the people. Not war but peace, an
honest peace, must be our watchword lor the*
future. Not the sword but work ls our calli ng.
Not contributions but Industry will, form .our
h?pplnees. For the wax now so 'happily
ended has lo one year Inflicted wounds which
ten years will scarcely heal. We may remark,
la passing, that Heligoland is no advantage to
England, and, lu case of a war, who is called
the sovereign ot the little' self-governing
island wodld be a matter of Indifference, for,
li the small sp'ace which serves as a promenade
for the sea-bathers be not turned into fortifi?
cations. Heligoland would. Immediately after
the outbreak of a war, fall mto the bands of
whoever commanded the sea. It is. therefore,
impossible to condemn too severely pious, of
conquest like this, which are as foolish as
they are criminal."

to suppiy our home demands next year. This
is a grand march on the road to independence,

The same paper also states that sales-day
"was well attended by the citizens from the
country, considering the day was red hot, and
farmers not quite through laving by their
crops. The sheriff sold but little property;
the Poor farm was sold, and we think it was a
poor sale, and poorer purchase. A tract of 100

J FRIGHTFUL BUTCHERY BY REGE
OUTLAWS IR NORTH CAROLINA.
j " WILMINGTON, July ll.
There was a fearful butchery perpetrated
I Robeson County, yesterday afternoon, _ 1
I Henry Berry Lowry and a band'of negro ou
laws. A sheriff's posse, having In char'
Lowfy's wife and several others whb had be?
j aiding and abetting the outlaws, was ambu
leaded near Buls's store, on^heWllmlngtoi
j Charlotte and' Rutherfordton Railroad. Tl
following of the sheriff's posse were Jellie
and wounded : Killed-Hector McMillan, Ard
ibald Brown and Hector McNeill; wounded
D. McCormick, Berry Barnes and James Lov
I ry; the latter a colored man and cousin of tl
outlaw Lowry, but was co-operating with th
sheriff's posse. The fight resolved itse
into a. regular battle, which lasted som
time. The sheriff's posse fought wei
even following the outlaws into"the reces?e
bf the swamp, but lt ls not certainly know
that any outlaw was killed. Lowry, leader <
the outlaws, and Captain F. M..Nianari had
I regular duel t on the railroad track, eac
