ArrArss IN SourH CARoLrSA.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette,
writing on the 5th, says:
A prominent South Caroline editor, who arrived
here to-day en- route for the North. reports sad
condition Of affairs In his State. He says the
negroes are organized 10 military companies
throughout the State, and while they admit they
have not the most approved arms, they clai n to
have o weapon ltoe torch) which will answer
their purpose. The leaders declare that ell their
movements were authorized and directed By
General (now governor) Scott. but the governor
remarked 10 our informant that he had done no
SO thing; that his name had been used without
authority by those who had forged IL to all kinda
scattered white population to arm 10 sslf-defense,
and If an outbreak commences war of races
viii be inaugurated looking to total extinction
of tie blacks. Uutiripg efforts, however, are
being made BY all classes Of the whites to pre-
vent catastrophe 90 terrible to contemplate. pu,
great fears are entertained lest the action otthe
negroes at the approaching elections shall pre-
cipitate what should be avoided.

An Important Public Meeting-O Oheap
TransP Portation.

In another column will be found report of
the proceedings of the Board of Trade, satur-
day, at which it was voted to extend to Ed.
ward Crane, Esq, of Dorchester, Mass, an in
vltatlon to address the citizens of Portland at
City Hall tomorrow evening. NJ" 7i1l .a
Mr.. Crane makes the subject of Cheap Trans
portation speciality, and at the present time
the particular enterprise he has in view in pur-
suance of his general theories is the Niagara
ship canal. 1t will be remembered that gov
ernment engineers have recently reported that
this canal can be built for $12,OO0,OO0 If con-
structed 1t will have an immediate effect to
change the point where water carriage ends
and railroad carriage begins, in the commerce
OF East and West to Ogdensburg, at the head
OF Lake Ontario. The people Of Western New
York so thoroughly realize this fact that at the
late election of member of Congress from the
Buffalo district, the views on this subject of
persens who desired to become candidates
were considered of paramount importance.
Without the canal, Buffalo is the great depot
OF Western produce and the Atlantic is reach
cd through the Erie canal. The idea of Buffa-
10 naturally is to enlarge the Erie canal so as
to make 1t navigable by vessels, and to oppose
the construction of the canal around the falls
But the people of Buffalo are shrewd enough
to know that they must beaten in contest in
which they make the general good of the ma
tion secondary to selfish purpose Of their
own.
When we say that Mr. Cranes collective
point" is the ship canal, we do not mean that
he limits himself to the discussion of that sub.
1ect alone. He is perhaps as conversant as
any man in the United States with all the
phases of the subject of cheap transportation.
Inc sphinx of our destiny is putting this uues.
tlon to every Atlantic city-"Can you bring to
your wharves for shipment the produce of the
west by more direct route and at cheaper
rates than your neighbors?" Those that do not
answer it well must suffer commercial death
Mr.. Crane furnishes data for an answer. and it
Is believed that Portland has all the conditions
that upon the application of his theories to her
particular case would enable her to return a
favorable one. The address will be of such
interest and Importance that no citizen who
has the least public spirit can afford to absent
himself

BARGAINING FOE OYsTERs-One of our
oyster dealers got rather taken in Friday eve
ming by a customer who went into the shop OF
Msssrs. q. Freeman 8 Co., No. 1o1 Federal
street, and inquired what they would charge to
open oysters for him until he should say "stop.' u
Seventy five cents" was the reply. "Peg
away" said the, customer. and one of the
younger Freemans began to open and the GUS
toner to eat. But one man could not open
fast enough and brother soon come to his
assistance. They both opened about as fast as
the customer could eat, until they began to
think they should want fresh cargo to make
up bis supply. Finally the man cried "stop. u
On counting up it was found he had eaten 1T
oysters. The man then finished off with bowl Of
stewed. He won't catch the Freemans again
