COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Morning. August 25,1874. Treat Them Gently. The more respectable Northern newspapers depreoate the readiness! which exists iu those of an ultra-Radi? cal character to make mountains out of the' mole-hills of occasional local -oxcitomout in the South. They dis? cern the purpose to be political advan? tage, the temper to be the old malignant one, whioh would renew strife and re? vive issues whioh have happily passed away. It is noticed by some of them as remarkable, that the Southern white peoplo are aonoeded to be amiable and quiet for the greater part of the year. Just when violence on their part will be of assistance to Republican politi? cians, they are oharged by the Radicals with the disposition, to break out, and shook negroes and Republicans. Tho outrage mill is set agoing every sum? mer, about August, and immediately preceding the elections iu thu Northern States. "A street tight," the New York Tribune says, ''whioh, if it ou ourred in the North, would be summa? rily quieted by tho polico uud dis? missed iu a parugraph iu the local paper, becomes iu tho South an uffair ~ Scientific School. A number of goutlemen of Poudlo ton have organized themselves into an association, for the purpose of estab? lishing an institution of leuruing ut Fort Hili, tho scat of tho lata and illus? trious John C. Calhouu. Mr. T. G. C-lemeon has offered them land suita? ble for the purpose, lying uloug Soueca River and at tho foot of tho Blue Ridge Mountains, combining great beauty of situation with exceptional healthfulness of climate. In an address to the people of the State, put forth by these gentlemen, they glance at the ruin of the South Carolina College, the system of mixed admission which has been adopted, and tho purpose to belittle the past history, to destroy the old traditions and to obliterate forever the old oharacter of South Caroliua. The people of the State are praoticully excluded from all participation in this and other educational establishments which they are heavily tuxed to sup? port. It is felt to be necessary to rear another institution of learning, which shall be under such influences und surrounded with suoh associations as will presorve the moral traditions of the State, und at tho same time encou? rage an intellectual freedom not incon? sistent with a true aud loyal veneration for its past history. 1 hey think the most urgent need of the State is a sys? tem of education which will lit its young men to deal with tho new con? ditions iu which their lives uro to be matured. They propose, therefore, to establish n Ecientiho school, where the youth of the State may bo prepared to become intelligent workers iu its mate? rial development. This address iB sigued by Messrs. Bcu. Sloan, A. II. Cornish, J. W. Livingston, A. N. Alexander, H. W. McLecs, John H, Maxwell and J. W. Crawford, to whom we wish all buccchs in their commend? able scheme. ?????i A South Carolina Nkoko Writes Home from LlL'EItlA ?Wo copy the following letter from tho Yorkville Enquirer, written by Solomon Ilill, a colored mau, who went from York, S.

Tho United States steam oattor Moo- 1 oasin, Commander Davis, whioh bad been despatched to Georgetown, dur ng tho progress of the lato riot there to look after 'ooveroment property, re turned yesterday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, having ubonrd a number of colored prisoners. They wero put ou shore) aud ill ehargo of ollioers aud car? ried to the jail in Magazine street, nud us they bussed through the streets were followed by tin iinrocusc crowd. Ou arriving at tho jail, they filed iu, the crowd lingering some tiiuu discuss? ing their arrival uud tho trouble, whirl] had brought about tu?'ir impri? sonment. Tho names of the prisoners, who uro nil colored, ure us follows: Juiu"s A. Bowley, l'etcr Woodbury, Pallas Judon, Anthony Jiidon, lion. Templet, I'Vuuic Pcuuo, John Smiley, Pixuuix Coit, Wiu. 11. Lieu me r, E 1 wurd Lawrence, Lloury Clark, Daniel Reynolds, Henry .Smith and Georgo Pawley. Tho prisoners tiro hold at tho jail by request of Adjutaut-Gone ral Purvis, because tho Sheriff of Georgetown said bo was uuable to keep thom there iu tho face of tho ex? isting feoliug ugainst them. Their counsel, Mr. M. T. Dooley, will apply for a writ of habeas corpus, this morn? ing, when, iu till probability, they will be released. Bowley says he is u native of Mary? land, aud thirty yours old; that he commenced his political career in 1??7, I when ho entered tho Stuto uud beguu i tho advocacy of Republicanism. He and JoneB, who is about thirty-two years old, wero originally friends, and labored harmoniously for ouch other's interests. Jones was a mnmber of the Statu Legislature iu 18(33, aud hu u School Commissioner. Tho diiiiuuliy between Jon0s and Rowley beguu in 1869, caused by Joues udvocatiug the claims of Whittemoro, of Congres? sional expulsion fume, be (Bowie}) re? fusing to do so. Joues wuH very pa troniziug to Bowley, undertaking to advise him, beouuso ho regarded him as a protege. Bowley refused to listen to Jooes, und the breach widened. Iu 1872, Bowley was again elected to the Legislature, in epito of Joues' efforts to defeat him, aided by Congressman Rainey. Bowley says thut Jones is u political incendiary; that during the Ku Klux excitement, Harvey Jones, u cousin,of the hero of the lute excite? ment, got up papers, purporting to emanate from u Ku Klux Kluii iu GcorgHtown, and served them ou seve ral olliciul. Jones afterwards con? fessed thut he originated tho Ku Klux documents to create an exaitemotit, and for political effect ut tho North. Bowley says that at the begiuuiug of tho campaign, Jones declared that he would defeat him (Bowloy) at any cost; thut he had yet two years to servo in the State Senate, and that ho hud no? thing to lose by opposing Bowley. Ac cordiugly, ho packed the different po? litical meetings, aud whenever he (Bowley) attempted to speak, ho would be disturbed, and there would bo n row. Jones' excuse was that the peo? ple did not want to listen to Bowloy, which wits not tue case. Seeing that he was to bo erowded out at Joue9' bidding, Bowley got his friends to at? tend the meetings, to which Joues and his frieuds generally came, armed. To crush Bowley out, Jones would use his militia, aud on one occasion, tho same company which guarded him while iu jail in Georgetown prevented his speuktug at a public gathering. Bow? ley had them arrested, and Jones, when he heard of it, made threats against Bowley. About two weeks be? fore the recent riot, Jones got a body af armed men to stop Uowloy speak? ing. Two duys before tho riot, Bow? ley issued a call for a meeting, to bo held at 12 o'clock. Joues issued a call for his frieuds to meet at 2 o'clock P. M. on tho same day. Rowley's meet? ing began at 1 o'clock P. M., aud was disturbed by the Jouesites, who, it is very plaiu, wero anxious to break it up, bo that they could win over Bow ley's friends and have a successful ga? thering later. Joues aud his followers failed to break up tho Bowley meeting, which elected delegates to tho Conuiy Nominali ng Convention. Rowley says Joues was highly incensed ut being beaten at his own game, aud made ex? citing speeches to armed men, declar? ing that his (Rowley's) success mount their ro-ouslavement; that ho (Bowley) ought to bo cut to pieces, thrown iuto a dttch aud his houso burned. These horrible harangues had their cflVot ou the people and Joues' militia, and on I Thursday night a body of armed men I attacked Jones' houso and lirod into it. ! At that tim", Bowloy says ho was at homo with Lis family, nncousoious of what was goiog ou, until the firing woke him up. Ho says ho did not know what to do, tint! thought that Jonos hud incited his friends to the work for a purpose. Tho uext day, an armed mob surrounded Rowley's houso, swearing they would tear down tho house and massacre the inmates. All this time, the ranks of tho armed men were reoeiviug accessions of men and women, the latter having ri? hocks. Bowloy says his house was closed, and that ho was compelled to arm himself. Subscquoutly, tho She? riff arrosted him on a warrant taken out at tho instigation of Jones, for participating iu tho riot, with intoutto kill. While iu jail, his honeo was as? sailed, aud bis wife und childrcu put in jeopardy. Tho jail was surrouuded by a company of militia, commanded by Capt. Harvey Jones, and also by an? other company Irom Wuccamaw. Whilo ho was incarcerated, Jonos has? tened* to Columbia, to got troops to quoll a disturbance alleged to have been raised by Bowloy. Joues was virtually in charge of tho town, and had its excited inhabitants at bis meroy. Bowiey says the Jonesites are the real desperadoes, aud out he nor any of his friends; that he is wil? ling to stand upon his record; Bowiey does not speak: well of Jones' private character, and charges that all the re? cent difficulty has been done to ruin him (Bowiey) politically, b'it is sure that it will fail. Tho cutter left this port on Sunday night, the IGth instaut, und urrived at Georgetown on MondBy morning at 11 o'clock. On rounding into the harbor, she tired a signal guu. This bad a very salutary effect on tho urowd ol rioters, stopping ur?uy who were on tho outskirts of the town and about to enter, and causing tho*.' nlrea ly us scmblcd to retire. Too oflioi rs o! tho cutter visited the town und fouud thel peoplo pretty apprehensive of iticendi- < ai ism and other eriiues.

The officers j of the cutter hati notliiug whatever to do with the prisoners, beyond trans? ferring them to this city, because it was believed that it was in the interest j of pe.io ? and the personal safety of the prisoners and people, of Ihn town. All was quiet in Georgetown at hist, ac? counts.? Charleston News and Courier.] ? ?????- ? ? ? - Tili: W A ICS OF BoWhEY AND JONES.? ' The extreme mockery of Republican? ism is found in South Carolina to-day { under negro rule. Tho vivid account of tho riots in Georgetown whiuti our correspondent gives to-day is not ex? aggerated, for no writer could ade? quately describe the fearful c mditioii of that society. Tho white men who havo led the negroes into these ex? cesses remind us of those pirates who become chiefs of Africuu tribes, and, iu order to uaainUiu their authority, are compelled to be more brutal than the savug'. s they command. The ne? groes themselves resemble gorillas who have been elected to the .Legislature morn than ordinary human beings. The btory of this horrible orgie which bus bceu held in a County cut off from communication with the rest of the Statu is grotcfcque even iu its terrors. Tho rivalry between the uegro Senator Jones and the negro Senator Bowiey burlesques the conflict between Brooks aud Baxter. 5So monkeys which have scou a barber shop,.butcher ouch other iu the vaiu attempt to shave. Senator Jones calls out the militia, and Bowiey organizes an army. Bowiey bombards Jones' house all night with sixteen shooters. Jones barricades- himself with legislative reports, made bullet? proof by uegro speeches. The militia drive the troops of Bowiey out of town, uud then Jones besieges Bow ley. Bowiey takes refuge (where be ought to bo now) in jail. Jones threatens to burn the towu, iu order to make n conflagration of Bowloy'a bouse, like the Chinese, who, when they wanted roast pig, set lire to the sty. Thus the hideous work goes on, uight und day?men, women and chil? dren engaged in bloody war; und the result would have been still more ter? rible, had not a United Slates revenue cutter from Charleston steamed up to tho towu oue Hue day, aud, with throe cannon and thirty men, frightened the contending armies iuto the swamps and woods. This conflict was entirely COtilined to tho blacks. It could hardly be otherwise in a County in which there are 13,i3SS negroes and ouly 2,7133 whites, und iu which the former have absolute rule. White emigration from Georgetown would soon tunko tliu population of ono color, if the whites bad any place to emigrate to or any money to go with. But one part of South Carolina is likely to bo almost ns bad us tho others. The negroes govern the whole State, and some of these days, unless such great statesmen as Bowiey and Jones lose their influ? ence, there may bo a carnival of blood which will make the rest of the Union sh udder. There is no desire iu the North to undo tlii$ work of emancipation nor to suppress the political equality which thu logic of freedom compels. But there is a growing determination that such scenes as those iu Georgetown j shall bo made impossible, for the sake of humanity and the honor of the na? tion. Jones uud Bowiey, by their moukey-liko imitations of tho "great wars which make ambition virtue,"are degrading American civilizalmu and outraging the moral sensu of tho na? tion, und they must be suppressed. Tho intelligent colored inau looks upon thorn with disgust, uud it is for his sake, us well as for that of tho whites, that Congress will take South Curoliuu iu hand. It is very hard to lind a remedy for these evils; but ouu thiug is certain, that the American poople will not consent to see a so? vereign Statu abandoned to massacre, plunder and all manner of crime. The negro population of South Carolina is like a mutinous crew, who havo lired tho riohly-freighted bark they wish to plunder, and who aro perishing iu flames they ure unable to extinguish.
