For The Bluomfiehl Timet.
Chakt-eston, S. C, Jan. 10, 1870.
Mr. Editor Hero I am in tho city that
did rnoro than any other, to bring about a
great rebellion. Here tho Hist gun was
bred on our glorious Hag. lho llrst thing
that strikes a Northern man on his arrival
here, is the insignificant appearance of this
supposed great city. To hear Charlcsto
nians speak of its appearance, ono is led to
believe that it excels in splendor and gran
deur, any other city in the Union. The
streets present a filthy and neglected ap
pearance. The buildings aro throughout,
very ordinary, both in size and stylo of
architecture.
Business is certainly not in a very flour
ishing condition, and consists principally in
tho shipment of Cotton and Sugar, and
many vessels are compelled to leave with
light cargoes. Yet tho harbor does not
seem at all over-crowded with shipping.
Tho population of Charleston is made up
of sharp Northerners, chivalrous Southern
ers, and ,an over-dose ol the H lttecntii
Amendment. The first aro tho " Diamond
cut Diamond" class, taking tho advantage
(if possible), of every one they come in con
tact with. The second class, would if they
could, remain just as they wero before the
war.
Political subjects arc discussed here with
the same freedom that they would be in
your otlice, yet it can bo plainly premised
from their conversation, that most of tho
old aristocracy are not as sorry for their at
tempt to overthrow our Government, as they
arc for the failure of the attempt. The
Fifteenth Amendment is tho veritable be
ing here, that ho is anywhere else. Lazy
to a fault, and filthy to perfection. He
seems not to comprehend his present status,
except as a freeman, lie not unfrequently
jostles somo gentleman of tho white persua
sion oft' the side-walk, into the filthy gutter,
thus asserting his rights beyond question.
As to living in this place, ono must put
up with any kind of faro ho can get, and
pay what his host demands, which is al
ways exorbitant.
Hero I will beg permission to relate an
anecdote told in my prcsonce, by a native
of South Carolina, who has lived North for
a number of years. Ho says when he
left his native State, the planters lived well,
on visiting the home of hhf childhood, the
following scene took place. lie stopped
with an old esteemed friend ; when tho
hour for breakfast arrived, the planter call
ed together the family, shouldered an axe,
and said como on children, wo will go to
breakfast. Tho group walked to a Persim
mon trco. The head oi,the family struck
several blows on tho tree, and then all fell
to work on the fallen fruit ; they repeated
tho same doso next morning.

WINTER ARRAXUEMEXT.
Viewport Iteius. James Elder, Robert
'Patterson, John llimes, Samuel Kepner,
and Henry Penny wero arrested on Wed
nesday last, on the eliargo of drunkenness
;vnd disorderly conduct and blasphemy.
The latter charge was not sustained, but
for drunkenness and disorderly conduct,
the parties plead guilty, and were each
lined $1,2.) and costs, by Justice Wingart,
before whom they wero arraigned.
It appears the above parties assembled in
a hay mow, and organized a mock prayer-
' meeting, and revival, having erected a
"mourners' bench," taking sacrament, &c,
together with other sacriligious conduct,
for all of which they wero lined only tho
paltry sum of $1,25. Ono of the parties
remarked "that they had lots of fun" for
that amount.
A meeting of tho citizens of Newport
was held on Thursday night, in Wright's
Hall, for the purpose of organizing a re
form society. Tho following officers were
elected: Piwidcnt Col. B. P. Bealor.
Secretaries J. B. Habeckcr and George
fchrom. After many remarks by a number
of citizens, a committeo of three, J. L.
Gantt, Wm. Cumbler, and B. P. Miller
were appointed to draft a constitution and
by-laws, and to report at next meeting.
A finance committee was also appointed,
after which the meeting adjourned until
Saturday evening, Feb. 5th.
Jhe youths of Newport not wishing to
ho behind their " aged parients" have call
ed a meeting for Saturday evening, Jan.
29th, for the purpose of organizing a " Ju
nior Reform Society. If much talking
will avail any thing, Newport ought soon
to become a model town.' 1
COMMUNICATED.
A Gizzard of Gold.
Mrs. Georgo Jacobs, of Ickesburg, a
short time since found in tho gizzard of a
duck a considerable quantity of yellow
metal, in small pieces from the size of a
grain of sand to that of a three cent coin,
and about as thick as the heaviest foolscap.
Mr. Hoover, watchmaker of Ickesburg,
tested some of tho metal, and pronounces
it good cold. That duck, with others of
the same ilock, had been prospecting du
ring tho winter in Mr. Gaylor's dam, and
the adjacent small streams and " duck pud
dles." Where did tho duck find tho yellow met
al? Having seen tho "gold," I am inclined
to think tho lucky duck found a picco of
jewelry that some "unlucky duck" may
have lost ; that tho jewel was crushed by
tho muscular action of tho duck's gizzard
alone, or it may havo been partly reduced
by tho foot of a man or an animal, haviug
less "thirst for gold," or by a wagon wheel,
before it was found by the duck. If futuro
developments suggest I will willingly

For The liloomfielil Times.
Mr. Editor As 1 do not know where the
person resides, or what his nanio is that
wrote "Tho Railroad Humbug" in your pa
per, but would not suppose that ho was a
resident of this part of tho county. Ho
may live in Dchoney or Timbucktoo for
what I know, but ho appears to havo no
conception of tho moral, intellectual and
mechanical improvements now going on,
and the benefits to tho country from such
advantages. Ho would go back to tho age
of three miles travel per hour, haul his
grain fifty miles to market, spin and weave
by hand, throw away tho reaper and niuw
er and all other improvements and probably
establish tho inquisition and stop progres
sion in everything. But progression will
go on as designed by Providenco, notwith
standing what any "old fogy" may say.
The steamship and-the iron horse will carry
investigation and Christianity to earth's re
motest bounds. Tho resources of this
neighborhood or any other part of the coun
try will never bo developed unless a rail
road is built. Ho says the money sub
scribed as stock to the contemplated road
will all bo lost now. I contend it will be
the best investment a man can make, as it
will advance real estate fully one-fourth.
Tho timber would double in value.
He speaks of losses from investments in
silver mine and oil stocks ; that may be all
true when persons rush into speculations
but tho silver mines and oil wells have ad
ded materially to tho comforts of tho com
munity. It may be the writer of "The
Railroad Humbug" in your papor is afraid
tho noise would drive away all the ganio
near the road, as that was the complaint of
the Indians, when the Paeille road was con
templated. Excuse my imperfections, as I am but a
plain farmer, but in favor of progress.
Yours, Ckosb Roads.
