ATTEMPT AT LYNCH LAW ON JoHN's
IsLAND.-A NEGRO PN1oNED BY OTHER
NEGROES TO TREE AND ABOUT TO BE
EXECUTED. A gentleman planting on
Johns Island, who had been absent
some time from his place, returned
one day last week, and, as he neared
his dwelling, was met by one of the
female hands, who told him that there
was trouble on the place, and pointed
in the direction of the negro quar-
ters.
The proprietor Immediately mount
ed mule and rode to the point indi-
Gated, where the trouble was said to
exist. AS he got there, he discovered
crowd of negroes gathered together,
and, in the centre of the crowd, some
of whom were armed with muskets,
saw before them, pinioned to tree,
one of the hands. He inquired the
cause of the strange proceedings and
was informed that they were ''going
to make a sample of i'm, and scute
him; dat he had tief cotton" See
ing the trying situation in which the
captive was placed, he began to re-
monstrate with them, and told them
if they carried out their unlawful
purposes they would all be guilty of
murder, and would be made to suffer.
He then dismounted and approached
the terrified victim and cut loose the
cord which bound him and set him at
liberty, telling the infuriated mob
that they must bring the man to his
house and he would hear the COM
plant, and, if reasonable, bring the
perpetrator of the theft before q pro-
per tribunal and have him punished.
They agreed to this proposition, and,
duly escorted by the armed guard
which had been selected to shoot him
to death, the poor wretch was carried
to the proprietor's residence.
BY common consent, he was con-
fined in the barn until magistrate
could be had from the CITY. The
proprietor then left, telling them to
leave the captive there until he pro.
cured the necessary legal instrument,
80 that the case could undergo fair
and impartial investigation. There
is no doubt, whatever. that the cotton
thief would have been summarily
dispatched had not the proprietor ar
rived in such a propitious season; /;
and to his timely presence alone is
due prevention of that unusual and
extraordinary method of dispensing
justice. The cause of the difficulty
lies in the fact that couple of the
hands were going to the cotton house
on just such an errand which or
raigned the other. and, finding that
they had been anticipated in the
matter, resolved to clear their skirts
by arresting and bringing to speedy
end the least adroit and cunning
rogue. We hope this affair will un.
dergo thorough Investigation, and
these disorganizers will be taught
that there is law in the land for the
administration of justice, and that it
must not be dealt out lightly by un-
authorized agents.

COsT OF RECoNsTUCTIoN.- is said
the cost of the military establishment
in Virginia, to carry out the recon-
struction acts of Congress, was, for
the last ten months, five millions of
dollars-that is, at the rate of six
millions a year. This is Independent
of other costs, and of the Freedmen's
Bureau. Taking all the expenditures
together for Virginia, as the result of
the radical legislation of Congress,
they would amount, probably, to
over ten millions. A proportionate
sum has been spent, of course, in all
the other Southern States. The cost
of reconstruction in all, then, is little
less than hundred millions q year.
What prodigious sum wasted-
literally thrown awnyl The South
might have been restored long since,
and without this cost. Restoration
has been delayed, with all the fright
full consequences, socially, politically
and financially, for no other purpose
than to keep the dominant party in
power. An overburdened people are
called upon to pay hundred millions
O year to establish negro rule in the
South, and to keep the radical Re-
publicans in power. This is the
naked fact, and one which we believe
the people will long remember.

THE PANORAMA OF COLUMBIA. The
Bridge of Sighs," connecting the
two extremes-a prison and q palace
which the poet describes in such
touching language, is synominal in
the magnificent panorama of Colum-
bia; as the scenes delineated connect,
as by bridge, the old and the new
city-extending as they do from 1860
to 1866. Even the large show flag is
emblematic of opposites-one end of
the rope which supports it being
attached to the new hall, while the
other is suspended from the ruins of
one of the neat brick edifices which
formerly contributed to the beauty
of the old city-which ranked as one
Of the most beautiful in America.
And with this prelude, we proceed
with n description of the painting.
Seven vivid and life-like scenes are
represented, viz: Columbia as it
appeared in 1861" '"The procession
of the Minute Men," "Werner's Pal
metto;" "Interior of the Baptist
Church," presentation of Ban
ner;" departure of a Soldiers
Train;" and Burning of the Con-
garee Bridge"
Messrs. John and james Rawls and
Joseph Denck-the admired amateur
musicians-furnished most excellent
music-grave or gay-as the occasion
required.
An immense crowd of citizens was
in attendance, who testified their
appreciation of the successful efforts
of the artists by repeated outbursts
of applause, as each familiar scene
was brought forward. OF course,
there will be another full house, this
evening; therefore, reader, secure q
seat early.
