A prominent gentleman writes
as follows from South Carolina.
As we read it we recall the second
section of the Chicago platform,
and cry out: Shame, shame, SHANE
upon on such prosecutors and in
ventors Of. evil:
"Our country is crushed worse
than you can imagine. Last
year we had good crops, but the
heavy taxation and low prices
kept US down in utter poverty
This year taxation is put upon us
bysorder of the military command
er alone, together with the recent
negro convention. 1t is perfectly
enormous. The members of this
convention altogether paid only
$500 In their taxation, and one of
their members paid more than
half Of this amount, and yet they
taxed the property-holders of the
State to raise forthwith S75, 1000
to pay the expenses alone of the
convention, taking themselves $l1
per diem and 20 cents mileage,
when no white convention in this
State, or white Legislature ever
took but So So per diem before
So too, now, they have elected a
large majority to the Legislature

negro, and the Yankee head Of
the Freedmen's Bureau in this

Can our degradation be lower
If the Democrats do not succeed in
November and reverse the Govern
ment of this country, we have no
alternative left but to abandon our
country and seek an humble liveli-
hood elsewhere"

Recently in Vicksburg there
was a large Democratic procession.
in which there were borne several
United States flags which at the re-
quest of several citizens, had been
loaned them by the post quarter
master. The parade of voters be.
ing large and impressive, alarmed
the carpet-baggers, several of whom
called on General Gillem, and CON-
planned that his officer had furnish
ed flags to a procession that was
"impeding reconstruction. -
Gentlemen" said the General,
"you are the d--est fools L ever
saw. i fought these people four
years to make them carry the flag,
and now you are mad because they
wish to march under il"

The Erie Wnr.

NEW YORK, November 2.-The Erie
war has relapsed into quietude. Jay
Gould and James Fisk, Jr., are still in
possession of the office of the Erie rail
road, bnt there is great reticence as to
whether they or the newly appointed
receiver, ex-Judge Davies, are rannins
tho road Several deputy sherlfls were
at the building this afternoon, but no
one seemed able to account for their
presence.
Ex-Judge Fullerton, Mr.. Sherman
and one or two others who are retained
as counsel for the directors, were in
close consultation with Messrs. Gould
and Fisk.
The Joint committee of the two stock
boards, who have under consideration
the proposition to strike the Erie. frSIl
the stock list, held {. .iil5eting to-day,
"lrtG6ut agreeing on any action,
ed until to morrow.
Zines says: We learn that Judge
Cardoza has stayed the proceedings OF
Judge Davies as receiver, and he has
granted that some order or that some
notice has been given, under which
rehearing is sought to be obtained be-
fore Judge Cardoza of the motion upon
which Judge Davies was appointed, so
that another struggle may be made
to maintain Gould as receiver, in the
State court.
1t is also said that Belden, q former
partner of Mr.. James Fisk, Jr., has q
suit in which Gould is named as receiv-
er, and besides these suits there are
o,hnrs k,, Tho Eria Railway pOmpanv
and in one of them Mr.. Belmont is sued,
it seems, because it is alleged that he is
not interested in having his own 81 ,OOO,-
600 worth of stock protected against
further illegal issue.

Sheep and Hogs.
From the Panhandle News

From the Panhandle News.
The slaughter of sheep in Brooke
county the present season has been
truly fearful. Messrs. George Il Web
ster are butchsring them by the thou.
sand. Our farmers are discouraged and
thoroughly disguised with the sheep
business, and appear determined to get
out of it the best way they can. We
learn that they are disposing of their
fiocks at very low fgure-from fifty
to seventy-five cents per head. Nut
ton, therefore, is very low in this
ighborhood, owing to the vast guam
titles of sheep slaughtered and brought
to town. Our citizens are having quite
a frolic over it. Good headquarters are
being disposed of at five and six cents
per pound. This, as our readers well
know, is extremely low. The butchers,
as atural consequence, are much dis
tressed-like Othello, their "occupa'
tons gone" -
In few days hog killing will COM
mence in this region. Many farmers
are already bringing their pork in. The
market has downward tendency. We
hear of sales at seven and half cents
wholesale, and nine cents retail. We
believe they will be bought for less
money soon; holders are firm ut the
above quotations.

The Cuban Ensurrection.

New YORK, November 27.-The
Herald's special, dated Havana, the
26th, says: We have advices FROM San
tiago de Cuba, to November Goth. Our
advices are from insurgent sources;
they are as follows: According to diff
ferent authorities, the insurgents are
within from two to six miles of Santi-
ago de Cuba. They allow four days for
that city to surrender. The Governor
of the district has large fierce at his
command, and he purposes attacking
the besiegers. A body of 500 insurgents
besct this place, and the Governor has
determined to attack them. The in
surgents, however, have captured Guam
tonane; they disown the so-called
volunteers, and are gradually extend
ing the rebel limits of the Eastern De-
partment, so that they are now masters
of the Jeguaui Bay and Hotguln and
Baures.
Contramastre Euramedes Palma, who
is at Tunas, has command of the rail-
road. He has notified the Superinten-
dent that none of the trains must carry
soldiers, unless by Government orders.
Some OF the trains have carried soldiers
and valuableS, who joined the insur-
gents. There are reports, however, in
Havana and Santiago de Cuba that a
compromise has been agreed upon be-
tween the insurgents and the Govern
ment authorities.

The Paraguayan DimcuIly.

WASHINGTON, November 27.-The n ote
of the Secretary of State to the Secre-
tary of the Navy, which is herewith
published, is understood to indicate or
ders which had been given to General
Mcmahon and Admiral Davis on the
subject of the Paraguayan difficulties:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18th, 1868.
To Hon. Gideon Wells, Secretary Of the
Nary: a.. .-.-
SIR:-A dispatch was yesterday re-
ceived from Charles A. Washburne,
Esq, late United States Minister to
Paraguay, which was written at Buenos
Ayres on the Goth of September last.
The dispatch shows that coutrover-
sey has been carried on for some time
between him and the President of Par
aguay. The merits of the eontrover-
sew cannot be we'll understood I'M
til copy of the correspondence shall
have been received, which is daily ex-
pected. In the meantime, Mr.. Wash
burne's dispatches conclusively show
that the situation of all foreigners, in
Guiding United States citizens, at AS
cunsiOn is greatly imperilled, especially
of Porter e. Bliss and George F. East
man, United States citizens, lately in
some way connected with the United
States Legation, who have suffered per-
sonal violence and have perhaps been
murdered. A dispatch had been
received from Mr.. Webb, United States
Minister at Rio, in which he states that
he requested Rear Admiral Davis, COM
mauding the South Atlantic squadron,
to send or proceed with an adequate
force to ASCENSION to protect American
citizens at that place. Mr.. Webb is I'M
able to inform the department whether
Admiral Davis would assume the re-
sponsibility of complying without spe-
tcial instructions from this Government.
The situation thus presented seems to
me so critical that have thought it my
duty to advise the President that the
Rear-Admiral should be instructed TO
proceed with an adequate force at once
to Paraguay, and take such measures as
may be necessary to prevent violence
to the lives and property of American
citizens there, and in the exercise of a
sound discretion, to demand and obtain
prompt redress for any extreme insult or
violence that may have been arbitrarily
committed against the flag of the United
States or citizens.
have the honor to be, your obedient
servant, VIM. II. SEWARD.

Financial

New YORK, November 27.-The Posts
money article says the rise in gold at
this time is chiefly the result of specula
tive efforts, and it is said to be connect
ed with a movement in government
bonds. Some time since extensive spec
ulative sales were made of 520s of 1862
The amount of these bonds in this mar
ket is comparatively small, and holders
of them advanced prices about two pei
cent above the London quotation OF
exchange, and the gold premium being
included in the calculation. 1t is re-
ported to be the intention of operators
for a decline, to cover their sales by
importing these particular bonds, which
can now be done with great profit
The scheme, however, would be defeat
ed by an advance in gold.
At the sale of government gold, to.
day, bids were filled for Sl,70O,OOO, anC
S50O,OOO was awarded at l35 80 100
135 $1,000, and 135 57-l00.
