COLUMBIA, S. G. Thursday Morning, July 20. 1871. 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. -t~~ir+ - Undpr the postal treaty, just conclud? ed with England, money orders of $50, .et leen, of Araertaon currency, or ?10 sterling, pr leasi may be obtained on Eogland, Ireland and Scotland in the post offices of the United States, and on' any portion of "the United States io the post offices bf the United Kingdom. The treaty goes into effeot on. the first doy of October next, and will provo a vast convenience to both American ci ti? z?n a and British Subjects. ",' An apparatus has boon invented in - East India for cooling railroad' oars. It - appears to have been perfectly success? ful.; Outside ' tho car in Which it was expcrlineotally tested tho heat was 06 degrees in the shade; inside varied from G6 to 82 degrees. What a blessing this inyet?tibh will provo ju hot weather, whoo in general nee. 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 term:; with the respectable and intelli? gent people of this County. And to gaiu this end, feel that we must quit tho party whioh has given, partly by our votes, suoh a bad government to South Carolina. We shall in the future vote only for good mon for office, irrespective of party. We now declare ourselves free .from the slavery in whioh tho politician has held us; and will do all in our power to cultivate a friendly spirit with oar wluto fellow-citizens. We say again distinctly we are done with the Sout!i Carolina Republican party now and forever. SAM. COOPER, NATHAN RICE, STARLING YOUNG. 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. {Augusta Constitutionalist. ? A writer in the New Orleans Tima Bays that not many months ago, as u ?;entloman was about to plunge into a orest stream for a pleasant bath, he saw far down ou the pebbly bottom u terrible simulacrum of himself; lifeless limbs swaying with the tide; a while, drowned fach, with staring eyos and blue Hps. It was but a second, ' and the vision faded, but with a cold shiver ho tamed away. . A few'weeks ago came tho news of hts death. Ho fell from tho deck of a veesel oho stormy night iu crossing tho Atlantic. ANOTHER HORBIBTJB -MUBDBB BY Low BBY AMD BIS BAND-HlS TH It BATS OF BLOOD AND CARNAGE KEINO .OAIUUBD Ocr.-Again we are coiled opon tbjr?> . cord a ropo'it ion of the bloody ooh lever mentis of the infam?os Lowrey and bia gang of on Maws and oat-throats in tho louuty of Robeson. It eeoms that tho threat of Lowrev, aa conveyed to the Sheriff by Mr. John MoNair, was no meaningless boaat, bot made with the fall intention, on bis part, as far as pos? sible, to carry it into execution. Ho said that if bia wife and othor tamales who had been captured wero not Hut at liberty before Monday morning, ho would drench tho Couuty in blood! Yes? terday ho cominouood currying ont his throat of blood and carnage by shooting d iwn two of tho ci li zena of that County, wbilo riding peaceably along, tho road. Messrs. Daniel Murdock MoLuan, Hugh MoLoau and Arch. MoColium, tho two i former of whom livo about two miles from Shoo Heel, were riding io a buggy, and when about 200 yards from their hooBO they wore suddenly fired upon by 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 time, buttha attack was HO sudden nod 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 particularly. Tho scone of thia horrible affair is, wo lonrn, about twenty-two milos from Buio's store, ia which vicini? ty they wero when the mossage was sent to Sheriff McMillan concerning tho women, which shows that tho movements of tho outlaws are as rapid as they aru ?corot and mysterious. Wo learn further that a private tele? gram from Gov. Caldwell wan received in this city, yesterday, in which it was stated that 100 stand of arms and a full supply of ammunitiou had been shipped from Raleigh for our forces iu Robeson County. The telegram also stated that the Governor had telegraphed the Sec? retary of War in regard to tho troubles iu our sister County, but that he feared the Government hud now no troops to spam for per vi oe in that quarter. [ Wilmington (N. G.) Star. 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. A CORE FOR TUB TOOTHACHE.-A Cin? cinnati dentist was somewhat annoyed rrconlly by observing a.mun approach his house at tho same hour every even ing, look at it intently, aud finally Beat himself on tho door-step, and remain there for a considerable length of time. There hud been rumors of burglars in the neighborhood, and after this singu? lar conduct had been many times repeat? ed, and he had suffered much anxiety became of it, tho dentist determined to 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 come in sight of your boase it stops aching, .and os long as I sit OD your door-step, where tho confouuded thing knows it can get pulled if it gives trou? ble, I have some rest. Now if you want mo to go to another dentist, I will." "Oh, no," was tho reply, "under thoso circumstances, stay by hil moans, my friend." A lady's husband boiug away from homo, died while absent. Ono of .tho noighbors being requested to inform her pf her husband's death, found her at dinner, and when he informed her of tho death, sho requested tho neighbor to wait until abo had finished her dinner, when he would bear some bawling. A lady at Ellsworth, Mo., is tho mother of twelve twins, aod is yet young enough to carry on the business. ?fe 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. Micnosaopia WONDERS.-Lewouboeck tells us of un insect soon with tho micro? scope, of which 27,000,000 would ouly equal a mite, insects of various lauds may bo seen in the cavities of a grain of sand. Mould is a forest of beautiful trees, with tho branches, leaves and fruit. Butterflies aro fully feathered. Hairs are hollow tubes. The surface of our bodies is covered with scales like a tish; a single grain of sand would cover 150 of these scales, and yet a scalo covers 500 pores. Through these narrow open? ings tho sweat forces itself like water through a sieve. The mitos make 500 steps a second. Each drop of stagnant water contains a world of animated hoings swimming with os much liberty >.s whalds in tho sea, Each leaf has a colo? ny of insects grazing on it, like cows ou tho meadow. 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 phis, and gloriously guarding old scrap 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? sesses personal courage and bravery in an unusually high degree. I myself havo seen him undor tho heaviest tiro at Gravolotto. Far from being under the influonco of- Bismarck, ho bas a firm, de? termined will of his own, which he knows how to carry out, oven iu opposi? tion to Bismarck." WHO GIVES OUT THU AMMUNITION? On Friday last, tho negro militia compa? ny in this town paraded. Ono of them having left his rifle iu a store, it was ex? amined and found to bo loaded with a ball cartridge. Who keops tho car? tridges, and who gives them ont in a time of peace? Tho community havo a right to know.-Sumter Netef, AK INNOCENT MAN HUNO.-Tbe Mem? phis Appeal ot tho 11th sajo: 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 use, while it would form a desirable arti? cle for uddition to the hardware trade. 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 action of tho Governor in pardoning the rioters. After some few remarks, it was unanimously resolved that a committee of five ho appoiuted to draft suitable' re? solutions, with instructions to report at as carly a day ns practicable. [Marion Crescent. ' A report is going the rounds that the Cherokee Indians, in Western North Ca? rolina, havo filed a olaim against the^Go? vernment for all the lands lying between the Blue Ridge and Cumberland Moun? tains, and extending from Bristol to Chattanooga. It is said that when the treaty was made ceding this land, the Cherokee Chief failed to sign it, and that it is, therefore, of no value. As Dr. Rogers, of San Francisco, was hastening to the bod-side of bia son-in law, who had attemptod to oommit suicide a fow days ago, he was thrown from his carriage by a runaway horse and fractured hts skull.
