THE STEAMSHIP COLUMBIA.
Presentation to Captain Carnashan.

Presentation to Captain Carnashan.
Yesterday one OF the most gallant acts OF self-de
votion in the history Of seamanship and the esteem
in which a worthy oficer is held by his personal
friends was recognized by the presentation OF
testimonial to Captain Carnaghan, OF the Glasgow
steamship Columbia. During the voyage last De-
cember the propeller OF the Columbia broke loose in
the shaft-pipe while in mid ocean, This was most
perilous position; for the. sharp and heavy metal
blades thus loosened were liable to be banged and
beaten about the sternpost OF the vessel, and
the plates Of the counter stove in or the Stern
post to be torn away. In this emergency
the Columbia saved by the sheer skill and pluck
OF the commander. The only hope Of safety rested
1t fom battering the stern OF the vessel but the
heavy sea which was rolling rendered this apparent
y impossible. Captain Carnaghan, however, made
the men lower him the tatfrail by rope around
his waist, while he directed and guided with mis-
OWE hands the necessary operations. The object
10 have the lashings made fast upon the blades
on both sides. The difficulty was 10 get the bignts
OF the chains over each upper blade. Thirteen times
his crew had to snatch the captain from the
waves, which threatened TO choke him or
dash him lifeless against the rudder
Fourteen times he bade them slower
awayu again, and at last the cables were drawn
around the screw both sides, 'bowsed taut"
with purchase blocks to ringbolts on the deck, and
the Columbia safe from the injury with which
she had been threatened by her broken gear. Ap-
preciating his daring In this feat accomplished
and his courtesy and attention to the passengers
some friends OF Captain Carnaghan had manufac-
tured, by Kirkpatrick OF Broadway, valuable silver
wine set, bearing the following inscription

Tc His EXcellencv-
Governor R. X. ScorT-SlR The Sheriff
of Newberry County Showed me during the
recent session OF The Court, q, this place, a
letter which you had addressed 10 him,
through your private Secretary, i'll regard
20 certain acts of violence, alledged to have
been committed on the premises of G. G
Dewal,, and in the neishborhood OF Poma-
Tia, in this Couaty. l feel it my duty as
acting Solicitor, to reply to the charges and
threats contained in that letter.
Your Excellencv, as it appears to me, has
improperly charged the Sheriff. Even un-
der the new regime, conceive that it is not
the duty Of the Sheriff TO bring before the
Grand Jury, all di'turbances that may oc-
eur in his County !; because he is not the
officer to whom any one makes complaint,
and therefore he cannot be expected TO be
Informed as 10 any criminal complaint. ex-
cent hy hear-say. The letter whichI have
previously spoken OF, should hAvt been ad-'
dressed to NE, as the officer representing
the State of South Carolina. ....--.
But waive the iuforn,al:tv. So soon as
had notice Of your letter, proceeded to
investigate the complaints made. I7called
the attention of the Grand Jury TO the mat
ter; l sent 6. C. DeWalt before them.
nd when he failed to give them such in
formation as " won,d warrant them in making
a presen,ment against any one, sent out
the She:iff TO arrest and bring before the
Conrt, any and al persons who could or
would give information I brought the
matter before the Court a second, time ).
when these means failed, persuaded his
Honor Judge Ru!l:nd, to charge the Grand
Jury again upon tie subject; sent again
for witnesses went TO the Grand Jury
room and instructed them as TO their duty.
1t all availed nothing. No particle Of in
teliseuce could be elected, and there was
cons, quently, no indictment made out.
The conviction is therefore. forced upon
me, tha, only malicious persons have made
these representations you-personS whose
sole delight consists in tomehting disroed
between the two races and the two Po'tica!
parties in this State. The Courts have al
ways been open hcrefor all persons Of what
