THE HEBOIO FISK.-The city authori?
ties of Bonton will have to apologize,
'now that Col. Jim Fisk has shown him?
self quite tho hero of the day, and his
-gallant "Niuthers" "true i?en#evory
one." He was so nearly a finished mau
before that all he wanted' to moko him
.oom plo to was military prestige, and that
**he hath nobly won." Tue biggest mun
in New York to-day is James Fink, Jr.,
broken ankle and all.' He hos soon more
?real war than Boh. Butler, abd Beaton
koowa and feels it. Tho Hub snubbed
Lim; hie caa now snub iht Hab, and
with interest! The Commercial Adver?
tiste speaks- of him in these gashing
terms, which some people may think a
.little sarcastic:
' """In oar sympathy for the sufferers of
"yesterday's tight,,,we must not overlook
that champion of order and truly gal
laut soldier, Ooloo el Fisk.. Gaily capa?
risoned and formidably stooked with the
weapons of war, lin rode at the head ol
?ia brave little . band, regardless aa a
?veteran of the tumult and danger that
-onvtranod him. Suddenly, in an un?
guarded moment, his right flunk was
surprised by a raging Hibernian, sbela
leb in baud. The treacherous foe crept
stealthily toward the advancing chief?
tain, and brandishing high ia air tho
ponderous oudgel, brought it down with
tremendous 'thad' upon his unsuspect?
ing victim's dexter limb, dlslooating the
anki? and placing the hero hors de com?
bat. In the confusion that followed the
misoreant escaped, but the patience and
-uncomplaining endurance of the Bufferer
as be was borne from the field of battle
Went to the hearts of bis bravo moa and
struck every speotator with pitying ad?
miration. AU honor to the mau who
?had so nobly proved his metal, and
-shown to bis fellow-citizens that beneath
*he glamor in which unjust oritloism has
shrouded bis obaraoter, he carries the
clements whereof heroes are made."
Then, in another paragraph, it extolla
bim thusly:
."He who both eura to hear, let him
"hear what the gallant Fisk says:
. "I received au order from the Govern?
or to stop all Orangemen from crossing
the ferry itpm Jersey 'City. I oumo
baok to tho Opera Ko uso and heard of
.thc troubl'j- -, I pu*! OQ n>y nworil and
?oat, and tried to get to tbs regiment.
The fighting'bad . commenced. I told
Colouols Scott and Clark that tho only
way-to'save ns was to pitch into them."
'"Brave words, tbat have the smack and
spontunaoity of .true genius in them.
General Dix, in a fit of inspiration, ex?
claimed :1'.Whoever pulls down the flag,
shoot him on the spot!' and mighty was
the name of Dix in tbe land. 'England
expoots every mao to do bis duty]' is
the language that kindled to deathless
flams the fame of Nelson. 'Don't.give
ap tho ship!' shouted the, undaunted
Liawroncb, and his words will ring un?
ceasingly . through tho 'corridors of
Time. .'The-only way to save usia to
pitch into them!' burst ftotu the lips of
;th<9 heroic" Fisk, and on the booming
- wove of that thought let bim paddle his
oonoo of glory forever."
' Fisk is no longer the "coming man."
He-is' "cannc." That broken ?qklo is a
deathless legacy to the broker's unborn
Iieirs.
? If we are to believe tho Radical press
which IR not always a safe thing to do,
you must know-Tammany Hall is alono
.responsible for the riot in New York last
Wednesday. The disgraceful affair oc?
curred under a Democratic ranaicipal
administration, and tho Democratic party
is therefore responsible for *H tho blood
that was abed. Accordingly the Demo?
cratic party -is denounced by tho R:uli
Ja&T newspapers everywhere. The order
of Superintendent Kelsoo forbidding tho
Orangemen's parado was simply Intend?
ed, they say, to afford tho Irish Oat ho?
lies, who aro all Democrats, an easy but
complete triumph over the Orangemen,
'Vha. are; all Republicans. They have
not yet gone so; far as to say that the
only object 6? Gov. Hoffman's prooln
. mat iou wai to afford the Hibernians au
opportunity to shoot dowu tho Orange?
men while mnroh|qg along tho streets,
.but they will probably say it to-mo?r?w
or the next day. All this fierce and
' senseless abuse of Tammany and the
municipal authorities of New York is
what is ealled "making political capital,"
"Tho mah who suffers himself to b?stxins
ferred from the Democratic to the Radi?
cal ranks, through the, agenoy of suoh
capital, is a disgrace to any party to
Whtoh he may belong.

Tho political morality of Mexico
would HOG m to hayo improved wonder?
fully of iate. There waa n time-a time,
too, within the memory of very young
men pow living-when the ; Mexican
statesman, if denied a revolution beforp
breakfast, suffered his hunger to go uh
uppca8cd until the revolution came, no
matter at how lato au hour of the fore?
noon it began. But since thedowufnll
of Matimiliau and tho ascendency of
Juarez the old order of things seems to
have pretty woll played out, and revolu?
tions have beoome almost os scarce there
as they aro in other voloauia countries.
Juarez, baa been ro-eleoted to the Presi?
dency, and his two opponents, instead
of attempting to take him and his party
by the throat sud hurl them from power,
quietly submit to their defeat. This is
well. With a good stable government,
that would give proper encouragement
to capital, labor and enterprise, tbero
is no reason why Mexico should not
become one of tho richest nations of the
earth.
At tho request of the below signed
colored mon, Bays the Newberry Herald,
the following card was written, whioh,
after being read to them, was declared to
bo to their satisfaction :
NEWBBBRV, S. G., July 13, 1871.
We, the undersigned colored citizens
of Mollohoc, want to boon more friendly

only for good mon for office, irrespective
of party. We now declare ourselves
free .from the slavery in whioh tho

with oar wluto fellow-citizens. We say

BREAKING OP THU DAMS AT LANGLEY,
AND BATU Minus.-It was only Wednes?
day, a weok ago, that a terrible storm of
wind. tore off the roof of the Langley
Mills, creating damage that it took some
time to repair, and now we chroniole au
occurrence of a yet more serious nature,
which has thrown about- SOO hands out
of employment and entailed mach IOBS
on the company. About half-past 1
o'clock Monday night, states the watch?
man of the mills, there were no signs of
anything wrong about the dam, but in a
short time after ho bad made tho inspec
: tion and returned to the mill, he heard a
I roar and rush of water, and, running
out, discovered that the dam wus broken
and rapidly crumbling away, while the
water was being^emptied tit a rapid rute
into the plain below. Early Tuesday
morning, nearly one-half of tho dam had
been leveled by the torront, while about
400 yards of the track and road bcd of
the South Carolina Railroad was so
washed up and injured as not to admit of
! tho passage of the regular trains. Tho
passengers over this route were accord?
ingly transferred to oars whioh we're sent
to moot them on the Charlotte, Colum?
bia and Augusta Railroad, and thus
brought to tho city. A large foroo of
workmen was at once sent to the scene
of tho disaster, and the track was re?
paired during the day. The trains
passed over the road as usual last even?
ing.
The great excess of water from tho
poud at Langley rushing into that of the
Bath Paper Mills, a short distance be?
low, caused a break iu the dam there,
and about 150 feet of it was destroyed.
The damage to Langley is very great,
and peculiarly distressing at this time.
The company has had great trouble in
obtaining the requisito number of good
hands, and they will bo hard to replace
when tho mills have been again put in
working order. This militates moro
against tho company than the outlay of
money required to repair the dam, while
the distress caused . by it among the fac?
tory, people themselves is pitiful indeed.
Thrown suddenly out of employment,
without, meaus to support themsolves
until they obtain other situations, their
sulfur i ogs cannot help being severe.
This company is doing all in its power
to relieve them, bat, as a matter of
course, it cannot, under the circum?
stances, support so large a number of
persons. It is supposed that it will be
three or four months before tho gap in
tb* dam can be flited up and tho mills
commence operations once moro. Tho
work will be pushed forward as rapidly
as possib'" by a sufficient force of labor?
ers. The cause of the ? breakage is not
positively known, but the supposition is
that either a musk rat had bored through
some portion of the dam, thus giving
room for the water to sap tho whole
atruoture, or else a laud slide oocurred at
some part, of it after the' watchman had
pasHoa, thus allowing the water to flow
over the dam, and to quickly plough out
a way for its destructive course. The
storm Monday afternoon had' nothing to
do with tho acoideut, as there was no'in?
crease in the volume of water , is tbs
pond after it had passed.

gang of on Maws and oat-throats in tho

meaningless boaat, bot made with the

sible, to carry it into execution. Ho

from Shoo Heel, were riding io a buggy,
and when about 200 yards from their

the outlaws add the two MoLouos iu
otantly killed. Mr. MoUollum received*
a flesh wound, but jumped out of the
boggy and ran toward Shoo Heel, olosoly
pursued for some distance by tho out?
laws. Mr. M. thinks thom were three
mombers of the gang oonoernod iu tho
murder, as there were threo distinct re?
ports, as if ouch had selected bis mau.
Thero was one gnu in tbo buggy ut tho

unexpected that thoy had no opportunity
to uso it. Their clo9o proximity to tho
residence of the McLeans would make it
appear that they wore watching for thom

affair is, wo lonrn, about twenty-two

to Sheriff McMillan concerning tho

of tho outlaws are as rapid as they aru

stated that 100 stand of arms and a full

CONSUMPTION OF COTTON II* G HEAT
BRITAIN.-Through our Liverpool circu?
lars received thia week, it would appear,
says tbs Cotni?ifvcio.l ?hmnirJu. that' the
stock held by spinners io Great Britain
is probably much larger than the gener?
ally received estimate hore, and conse?
quently that our statement of tho actual
consumption of thu British spinners
was somewhat in excess of the reid fnots.
We notiae that in their 30th of Jane
circular, Mesara. Smith, Edwards & Co.
give tho deliveries from Liverpool und
London to tho mills at 63,000 halos
weekly, but estimate the real consump?
tion at 68,000 weekly. Our figures made
the deliveries from all of Groat Britain
at about 66,000 bales por week. Of
course, it is impossible to make ont- with
entire accuracy tba actual stook at the
mills, bat wo et ti mated it according to
Messrs. Euston & Co.'s figures of Juno 1,
(which we know thoy keep as oarefully
as possible,) at 130,000 bales Messrs.
Smith, Edwurds & Co. mast have put it
at a very much higher figure, as in their
statement there is a difference of 5,600
bales between takings and the weekly
consumption, which, for twenty-six
weeks, would make a difference between
the takiugs and consumption of 145,600
bales. The mills held of stock January
1, according to the Liverpool Brokers'
Association roport, 100,000 bales; so if
we add the noon mn la lion since then ns
abovo, thoy must nov hold 245,600 boles.
Wo have uo way of testing the aoonraoy
of this result, but certainly Messrs.
Smith, Edwards & Co.'s statements with
regard to the British spinners uro enti?
tled to great weight.

remonstrate with his tormentor. Ap?
proaching him cautiously, wishing to do
nothing to provoke his ill will, ho said:
"My good friend, if it would bo all the
samo to you, will yon not divide your
attentions with my neighbors? You may
arouse jealousy, you know, and if it
would suit you as well, suppose you Bit
occasionally on some other door-step."
"But it wouldn't bo tho same," shouted
the visitor in return, "nor aoy thing like
it. ?oa are a dentist, and I have an
infernally uching tooth that I haven't
the courage to have pulled. I come
hero every afternoon, trying to make up
my mind to havo it out, and as soon asl

aching, .and os long as I sit OD your

HEATHEN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.-The
Newburyport Herald publishes un sc?
oop nt of nn "ignorant and depraved com
inanity in thu town bf Seabrook, New
Hampshire, which seems almost beyond
belief. Tho people composing the com?
munity woro known in the; vicinity aa
Algorines, and apparently a more de?
based sot of beings nover disgraced the
land. Their village is situated flvo miles
from Newburyport, iu a secluded placo
near the sea-shore, and, being uuap
prouchublo by any direct rond, but low
strangers evor penetrated it. The peo?
ple, numbering several hundred, obtain?
ed a miserable subsistence by iishing in
the summer and shoemaking in tho win
tor, nnd most of tho money tims made
was laid out for ruin and tobaoco. They
had intermarried to such an extent that
tho younger portion of the community
wore little more thon idiots, und their
language bm! degenerated iuto an rlmost
unknown dialect.
Io short, rum, interbreeding, and
want of communication with the outside
world, had developed a- wonderful bar?
barous Btata of society in the midst of
civilization. It is, however, gratifying
to know, that a change for the better baa
beon effected among the miserable peo?
ple withiu a few yours. A youug clergy?
man, named Wm. A. Band, heard of the
Algorines, and resolved to attempt some
improvement among them. Four years
ago he commenced his labors in this vil?
lage, and has accomplished much good,
although baring to tight his way against
every obstacle.. A sohool and church
have boen established, tho miserable
huts in wliioh they lived have given place
to more civilized habitations, and their
physical condition has been improved,
so that there is a prospect of thu com?
munity becoming at least respectable.
Mr. Rand also acts as a ruler among
them, having tho powers of a magistrate,
and thus boiug ublo to preserve law and
order.
CHMSTIANS IN CniNA.-Recent report?
ed orders of tho Ciiiuose Government, it
is apprehended, will materially interfere
with the operations of tho Christian
missionaries in China. The new regula?
tions provide that hereafter nil missions
uli"ll be nnder the supervision of Chinese
officials; that no less than forty-flvo na?
tive converts shall he received in any
missionary establishment, and that a full
record of every baptism shall be return?
ed to tho publia registration of lice. It
is also directed that all female missiona?
ries must return to their own couutrios,
and that malo missionaries, not residing
iu consular ports, shall be undor the
jurisdiction of tho local mandarine.
Chinese women arc prohibited from at?
tending Christiau worship, and uuiy iuu
children of foreigners arc permitted to
attend tho mission schools. In case of
riots, resulting in the destruction of the
property of the missionaries, no com?
pensation can be recovered from the
towns in winch tho disturbances have oc?
curred. These regulations, it is believed,
will materially interfere with tho mis?
sions iu China, and tho prospect of in?
troducing Christianity into that country
is at present more discouraging than
ever. It is not known, however, whe?
ther thu above edict has met with the
approvul of the Emperor, or whether it
is tho more announcement of nn in?
tended law which will be followed by
moro severe measures, accordiug to tho
resistance offered by foreign nations. If
these accounts are correct, Mr. Burlin?
game's treaty is scarcely worth tho paper
on which it is written. That diploma?
tist must have been deceived by the
Chinese, or. greatly mistaken their in?
tentions and objects. Tho udvanca in
Western ideas and civilization which, on
the strength of tho treaty, it wus sup?
posed they had made, turua out to bu
purely imaginary. Whilst tho religious
beliefs in China are said to be nearly as
heterogeneous as in Europo, there seems
to be a common bond of unity among
all Chinese iu their hostility to Christi?
anity.

trees, with tho branches, leaves and

Hairs are hollow tubes. The surface of

Tho military career of tho editor of
the Memphis Appeal is thus summed up
by the Avalanaie: "His military career
began and ended in this city. "lt com?
menced iu the militia and ended there.
His active servioe, in the face of tho
onomy, was a campaign-it was patrol?
ling a few blocks of buildings in Mom

iron io Fort Pickering."
Gen. Sheridan says of tho Kaiser:
"The Emperor William is a fino old gen?
tleman and a good general. He pos?

an unusually high degree. I myself

The tri lil pf Connell io the cri m i uni
court, last week,.preuted u.profouud sen?
sation. Not that it disclosed any oxtra
ordinary degreo of guilt anywhere, but
because it throw a new light ou a ques?
tion which was considered settled. Con?
nell was accused of being accessory to
tho death nf Fenton, for the murder of
whom Galvin was hung nearly two years
ago. About twelve witnesses wero ex?
amined, whose testimony all went to
show that Connell was blumeleen; and a
vast mass of the testimony went to cor?
roborate the truth of the testimony
which Gul vio gave of himself when on
tho point of hoing shoved into eternity,
that he did the shooting in self-defence.
One young man, who was not a witness
in tho Galvin trial, named Randolph
Miller, Bwore that Fenton shot first,
while Galvin had his hand on the door?
knob, in the act of going out. Galvin
then raised his hand to his hoad for a
brief moment, and turning rouud fired
at Fenton. Attorney-General Wright
discharged a strong rebuke at the wit?
ness for having tbeso foots undisclosed
iu his bosom, when he knew that by
telling thom a now trial could bo got for
Galvin. Tho witness said that he bad
oovor been summoned on the case. The
general complaint made by the -friends
of Galvin was that everything was car?
ried on with such a high hand, and per?
sons were so intimidated by the .whole
rcyime of the period, and the numerous
satellites attached thereto, that lt was
more than a man's life was worth to vo?
luntarily oller to tell the truth. Nearly
all tho witnesses examined in this late
trial of Connell disclose tho fact io their
testimony that Galvin shot in self-de?
fence, and that ho was hounded to death
by Radical hate.
A CURIOUS OANDTIB.-An invention was
introduced into this couutry from RUB
ai a by Cassi UH M. Clay, lute Minister to
that Government, which is rapidly com?
ing into favor here. It is a perpetual
candle, and really Booms to be worthy of
the name. The candle consists of a
small brass tobe, within which is placed
a close fittiug wick soaked with kerosene.
The-tube is sore wed into a candlestick,
and fits inside another tabo, made of
white china, and simulating closely a
candle in appearance, the whole taking
tho look of an ordiuary caudle and can?
dlestick. By heatiug the top of the brass
tube the korosene-soaked wick generates
gos and gives a hue blaze through a r\n tu?
ber of small apertures in tho end of the
tube. A good light for flvo hours ie, it
is said, furnished thus for tho cost of one
cont. This is certainly both simple and
economical, ?nd would DC?IU t? obviate
many of tho dangers and objections to
tho n8e of kerosene. If could easily be
made useful in railway cars, and for hotel
nee would seem to be'?the cheapest and
most practical form Of' lamp. The ex?
pense for either caudle or oil would bo
much leas than thut of any lamp now in

A SENSATION.-The latest sensation in
Wilmington, N. C., is thus described by
the Star: ^.-ri -
"No little excitement was created in
tho immediato vicinity of Fourth and
Church streets on Monday afternoon by
the finding of a small glass jar or bottle
in tho street at that point, containing
two human thumbs. Several persons
who witnessed . this singular hight say
that the thumbs were apparently from
tho bauds of a white female, judging
from their peculiar formation, and that
they had been cut off at the joints
nearest the hands. They were perfect
in every respect, exoept that they had
turned slightly purple around ibo edges
where they had been severed from tho
bands. The jar in which they were
found had a piece of white oloth tied
over the mouth. The matter originated
quite a stir in tho neighborhood, audi no
conjecture bas been hazarded 'tbat
tends in the least to unravel the mys?
tery."
INDIGNATION MEETING.-On Friday
last, a large number of tho best citizens
of our town met in order to express the
sense of the citizens here on the receut

unanimously resolved that a committee
of five ho appoiuted to draft suitable' re?
solutions, with instructions to report at
