now working under the same system it
worked in days gone by, tbe financial
distress that brought so much ruin in

worth as much as tbe ink on it that re

Letter from Satb Caroltaab
Charleston, Cfct. 13, 1S73.
Mr. Editor t We are ooee more
(r jading tbe "sacred aoil" of the suncy
South. Our health and the health of
the city ia unusually food. They have
bad a very bot summer, bat no serious
epidemic, so common in this part of
tbe country. At is usual in tbe bot
season, the city has been unusually dnll
in every kind of business except poli
tics. The struggle for Mayor and Al
derman bas been terrific, but rnded in
the utter route of tbe - unterrified."
Mayor tt'agener, of Battery Wagenet
fame "takes bis bat and lebes berry
sudden," and Mr. Cunningham takes
bis place. In conversation witb a
Southern man yesterday, I learned tbat
SI r. C.'s great crime was that of being
a Northern man who had invested eon-
siderable money in Charleston, and bad j
carried on the honorable (to the South)
business of bntcberine. but withal a
very honest man. It is really wonder
ful, witb the horrible corruptions and
divisions in political circles here, that
even such a good man as Mr. Cunning
ham could be elected. I am sure our
municipal affairs cannot be made much ;
worse. Now that our city bas ouce j
more settled down to its cotton snd I
treason, we fondly Lope that this mod- j
ern Peter way arise, slay and eat.
The weather here is sslubrious. Tbe
sun shines brightly roses still bloom
the trees have no scar and yellow
leaf all things are fresh and balmy.
WLit a pleasant climate the South bas!
No doubt you are beginning to gather
around your warm stoves iu the North :
we are glad to ra-se our windows to
catch a balmy breeze.-
Tae city is beginning (o assume a
busy aspect. Citizens are returning
and, King Cotton is making bis anuual
visit, aud busiuess is reviving. Charles
ton is a dull place in summer, but quite
throng in winter.
Southerners are qnite glad to see any
one, even a Yankee, who has money to
spend. What would become of the
South were it not for Northern money
and ingenuity aiic? common sense ! This
deceptive' people will rescb out oue
baud for our money, while with tbe
other they slap u in fbe face. I know
some churches in this city which bave
agents in tbe North begging money, and
are at tbe same time in a general way
anathematizing tbe very ones who give
tbeui money. A member of one of
these churches said to a friend of mine
not long since, " Tbe Yankees are able
to be bled, are willing to be bled, and
we are going to bleed them just as long
as tbey will stand it I" My honest
conviction is, that the only worthy ones
in tbis country to receive Northern
help arc. the colored people, who have
with aching beads and bleeding backs,
made this country wbat it is. lint ala,
for human depravity ; tbey who would
do nothing for our country but tear it
to pieces, will now be petted anj pitied
and helped, wbilo these poor black peo
ple who bave been crushed and almost
damned sonl and body, but wbo bave
ever stood true to the old flig, and
would bave gone down with her, bad
God permitted the awful catastrophe
these poor people, though they beg pit.
eously, receive but a crumb from tbe
rich man's table. Said an old coloied
man to me "Did you ebbcr see a rebel
nigga V "No," said 1 ; "did you !"
Then witb some warmth be replied,
"Ise bid wid massa dunn' de wah in
Norf State, fru Georgy, Floridah, Mis
sissippy, an I nebber yet seed a rebel
nigga. Dey sum how or udder had a
bankerin after de ole flag as ef dat was
de right ting !"
Ileal ly uow, Mr. Editor, can you tell
me why it was that yoa might kill a
colored person before be would turn
traitor and desert the old flag ? I tell
you, sir, I know stories of some of my
own church people during the war, tbe
relation of which would be as interest
ing as a novel, and make tbe blood run
cold bow tbey bid in dens and caves
and suffered the pangs of hunger and
thirst bow some were lodged in jail
for weeks without food or raiment, and
many of them lashed until tbe blood
stained tbe ground at their feet and
still tbey would not give up the old
flag. I am told that four colored men,
during the war, boldly asserted Union
sentiajeuts on the streets of (.'barks
ton. They were seized, of course, and
lied, and then tbat human devil, tbe
"whipper," eommenced bis hellish work.
At the end of twenty lashes the ques
tion was put M Do yon repent and
turn !" Tbe answer came from between
set teeth, "No." " Give tbem twenty
more," was tbe command. At the end
of the next twenty, the muscles of one
relaxed and be fell. "Will you repent
and turn !'' was the question. " Kill
me ! kill me !" was the feeble response
"thank God, I died for my country !"
Suffice it to say they all were martyred.
That night, as their colored friends laid
tbe rour side by side in an otscure cor-
ner of a field in Uio outskirts of the
city, twenty brave stalwart men knelt I
aiound tboee graves, and with faces
turned opward to tbe s'ars, and wilh
bands uplifted to Alniightv God, swore
that they would meet a similar death
rather than forsake tbe dear old flag.
And now, Mr. Editor, I ask in all can
dor, should the country forget these
poor people wbo were so tiue to her in
ber bour of peril !
But yon east excuse mo for wander
iog. I commenced with the intention
of giving yon only a few iiues as an in
troductory, i bave wandered from tbe
test. My feeliDL'S sometimes ret tbe
control of me. This is tardonable.

Among the consequence of the financial
crash in Wall street is said to be the wth
drawal of many persons well known by
their long-continued presence there. The
necessity of tbe occasion has forced them
to pursuits other than specula.lons.
A colony of Kussiana mechanics, farm
ers, millwrights, iic. have purch.ised sev
eral thousand acres ol land in Huron coun
ty, Michigan, and will very uun settle,
bnild houses, school-bouses and mills, and
establish a thriving, self-suataing commu
nity. In tbe son'hwestrrn portion of Kansas
considerable bands of wild horses are said
to roam. They are matchless Ih speed and
beauty. Hunters not unfreo,nently attempt
to crease them, with a view to their cap
ture, by well-directed shots through the
upper part of the neck.
A blooming Irish widow went into the
tanking house of Lloyd & Bowers, of Bed
ford, and drew some $200 of her earnings
Scarce knowing what to do witb it she ask'
ed Mr. John Bowers, the cashier, ro en.
lighten her. lie told ber to get some good
man to take care of U for her, whereupon
she handed to him. remarking that he was
the man." He accepted the trust, placed
the money in the vault, and says he will de
fend it with his life.
A polite yonng Bos tonian, while in chn rcb
on a recent Sunday morning, dived down
to the brttont of a pew to pick up a parasol
which a fair neighbor had jnst dropjvd. He
grabbed the parasol, ad at the same mo
ment s iw an embroidered edge of ber pock
et handkerchief sticking from under ber
dress. He thought he would pick that np
ion, and commenced tugring at it. There
was a fierce little struggle for a few mo
ments, aud two very red faces appeared in
th it pew, and the young roan sat sndoi ing
all tlirongh the rest of the service how be
could have mistaken a white underskirt for
a cambric handkerchief.
A few dayi sincr, it is related, J. W.
Keen-, ot Pembroke, 'ew York, took bis
mar- fnm the barn, leavihg a two month's
colt behind . On his retnrh, some two hours
after, he found the colt on Ihe roof 'ftt barn
Being nuable t.) fo'loir t!ie mare it bad
sought some means of escape. In the first
place it bad gone np a flight of stairs fif
teen steps then over tbe hay mow, ami ont
ot a window in the gable end of the barn,
on to a half roof. From this elevation it
worked its way to the rfrof of thu main
bam, which is very streep ' then it returned
to the half-roof, whence, on the return of
the mother. It jumped to the pound, a dis
tance of fifteen feet, a feaf wnich it accom
plished without being the feast injured.
The newsboys on Wall street are ncarly
as sharp as the brokers. They hare once or
twice, during tbe crisis, almost raised a
financial panic on their own account. On
Black Friday No. 2 one keen chap, whose
papers announced the snspension of the
First National Bank rf Washington, drops
ped the "Washington" p:rt of the news,
andjeft it to be interred that it was the
First National Bank of New York. His
papers went off like hot cakes. Observing
this, the other boys on Thursday tried the
same game when the First National Bank
of Memphis failei!, and produced snch a
horror among the business men that the
police were called upon to interfere, and
did arrest oo or two of the knowing gana
ins. Iu a dozen years these yonng ones
wi!l have experienced a sort of transmigra
tion from honest and respected oewsdual-
crs into sanguinary bulls and bears.
A useful hint to msny yonng men may be
derived from this little story which the
Springfield (Mass) I'aioa prints: "Not
long ago a young man of this city bad a
most favorable opjiortunity to enter a bnsi
n. sa honse in tbis State, at a Urge increase
over his present salary, with a prospect of
soon getting a place in the firm. His je.
commend itions were- first-class, and the
officers of the institution were decidedly
pleased with his appearance. They, how
ever, made him no proposals, nor did they
state their favorable impressions. A gen
tleman of this city was requested to ascer
tain where the yonng nun spent bis evtu
ings aud what class of yonng men were h4
associates. 1 1 was found that he spent sev
eral nights of the week in a billiard-room
on Main street, and Sunday afternoon drove
a hired team into the country with three
other young men. lie is wondering why he
didn't bear from the bouse concerning that
coveted position."
