THEPLUNDEREBS OF THE VAR.
Some Further Statements In Regard to
the Booty Gathered in South Caro-
lima.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial writes:
The three boxes OF collected treasure recent
" brought forth from the vaults OF the War
Derartment at Washington are the property OF
citizens OF Camden, South Carolina. The gold
and silver, as we'll as the principal portion OF
the Confederate notes and bonds, belong to
the old Camden Bank. The value Of the dia-
moncs and silverware has been very greatly
over-es,imated by your Washington correspon-
dent.
UOon the approach OF Sherman's army upon
Camden, the citizens Of the village collected
their iewelry, silver and plated ware, and de-
posted the same IN the safes of the Bank OF
Camden. The safes were loaded in wagons,
and the owners thereof sought safety for their
treasure in fight; but the eforagers-enterpris-
ing fellows, who were always about days
them not far from the Catawba River, and
compelled surrender.
The captors ware composed Of two detach-
ments, one from the Third Brigade, FIRST Di-
vision, Twentieth Army Corps, and the other
from the Fourteenth Army Corps. 1t was the
usual custom Of the foraRers to confecate and
divide captured property, but as some disagree
ment sprung up as to the proper division, nei-
ther party feeling disposed to surrender their
scquired banking privileges, it was decided to
deliver the safes unopened TO the Provost Mar
shal Of the Army of Georgia. The safes we're
opened by that officer and found to contain
gold and silver, Confederate bonds and notes,
and the diamonds, silverware and jewelry OF
the citizens. By order Of General Sherman the
mules and wagons were appropriated for the
use OF the army, and the other property was
boxed up and forwarded to the War Depart
ment at Washington, upon the arrival OF the
army at Goldsboro', N. q.
You are certainly mistaken in your state
ment IN saying thst as the toragers and "bum-
mers" came up to the bridge they were halted
and thoroughly searched, aud the articles
found upon them boxed up and sentto Wash
ington. No order was ever issued to search
the "bummers." It would have required all
the army wagons connected with Sherman's
army to have hauled the plunder collected In
one day by the "bummers," and abandoned
the next. Nor was tnis property, as general
thing. taken from the dwellings, Of the lnhabi-
tants, butt was found in the fields or the
swamps, where it had been concealed
BY the owners. Property thus captur-
ed was brought into camp at night, and after
beng exhibited, was, in very many instances,
abandoned. II the people on the line Of march
had remained at home and treated our soldiers
with common civillty, very few such depreda-
tions would have been committed. ln South
c rolina it was very common thing for chiy-
alrous ladies to call our soldiers vandals and
Northern hlrelings. Or course, neither OFF,
GERS nor soldiers felt very solicitous concerning
the safety Of their worldly effects.

CONGO COURT GOSSIP.
Election OF New Queen by the Negro
youdou Worshtppers.
The New Orleans Time says :

The New Orleans Time says:
The first Of June, as is we'll known to old
gossips, is the time of year that is devoted by
the Voudou worshippers to the celebration OF
their most sacred rites. It is at this period
they retire to the Lake end and indulge in fre-
quent suppers and midnight bathing, and that
the dances and other superstitious observ-
ances are rracticed with the most vigor and
intensity. ANY one who is curious to pay them
q visit can do 30 by proceeding to the Lake
end OF the Ponchartrain Railroad, and going
down the road on the right hand side OF the
track for half q mile.
Another event that is reported to have taken
place on Monday was the browning OF neT
Voudou Queen in place Of the celebrated Marie
Lebau, who now numbers some sixty or seven
ty years OF age, and who. it need hardly be
said, is too old to longer discharge the oner-
ous duties of the Office. AS most OF these
followers Of the fetish faith are in reality moth
ing but worshippers OF Venus or Astarte that
is to say, or youth and beauty. they naturally
are mong the first to grow impatient OF old
acc, and go Queen Marie, in spite OF the d. cad
with which her name is regarded, hnds 1t best
to resign the magic sceptre.
A curious study would be the rise and
growth of this dark superstition among our
colored, and, in some cases, foreign pUpula-
,ion, thought it doubtless has always existed
IN some form or other since the first Africans
were brought to this country.
Old Marie herself, whose influence and power
have been welded without question for the
last twenty years, appears to have been orgi-
naIly nurse and old family servant known to
all the old population, and at one time III great
request IN dressing the bodies Of the dead. 1t
was from this occupation that her preensions
to bo the prlestess Of q religion. and TO have
the power of effectiug events by spells and
charms. doubtless arose.
Her power was greatly disputed at one time
by rival who had the enterprise to send to
Africa for O large doll-like idol. and which,
when dressed and bedeviled With beads, tattoo
m arks and all manner of Congo to2gery, pro-
duced q tremendous impression among the
credulous. 1t was regarded by Marie as such
a dangerous taIisman that the idol was carried
away.was brought at on, time before the Re-
corder for him to decide whose property 1t was,
or whether any violence had been used In
wrestling it from its first owner. However, the
scales Of justice inclined against Rosalie; The
magic doll was decreed to the Queen. who,
doubtless had the most power as procuress,
and from that time to this the Voudou Queen
has swayed the minds Of thousands OF believ-
ers in this city. 1t is probable that there are
at this time dozen altars in different parts Of
the town.

OUR RAILROADS.
Encouragement 70 Imra.Sratfon.

The New York Herald speaks as follows OF
the Southern railroad consolidation effected
for the purpose OF affordlng better facilities
for travel and observation to those desiring to
emigrate to the South
The 3jpdicious reduction Of fares on the
Southern railways must directly promote and
facilitate Northern and foreign immigration to
the South. Immigrants. with their capital OF
money and skilled labor, can nowhere find
more desirable homes or more profitable re-
tween the Potomac, Ohio and Mississippi
Rivers and the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf OF
Mexico. Within there boundaries there is
such diversity Of surface, soil and climate
that most Of the fruit and all the grains-in
some localities two crops OF certain varieties ut
cora and fruits apnually-can be successfully
and pruftably cultivated. The central and
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennes-
see, Georgia and Alabama, in particular. for
salubrity OF climate, grandeur OF scenery and
abundance and purity Of water Cannot be ex-
celled. With its deposits OF gold; of iron
equal in fineness to any IN the world; OF coal,
copper, marble, granite and slate; with its i'm
mense water powers. in many Instances located
IN the heart OF the cotton-p producing belt; with
Its almost imitless forests, Including oil the
yarities Of wood used in the mechanical art;
with it's cotton. rice, sugar, oranges, grapes,
and, in the higher regions. ITS grain and stock,
the South offers TO labor and capital the most
splendid promises Of immediate and prospec-
live pioat. a full development OF the exsraor-
d,nary resources Of the South would in few
years largely increase the taxable property OF
the country aud materially lessen taxation;
The South is capable Of sustaining hun lred
fold more than it's present population. Immi-
grants will now be heartily welcomed by the
Southern people. The national wealth :. .ould
be incaloulably increased by turning immigra-
tion into Southern channels. Every bale OF
cotton raised by those who should settle ON the
cotton lands of the South wonld pay tribute to
the general government, while the grain grow
ers OF the West pay comparatively nothing. It
is of.Batio ,al interest and importance that
immigration to the South should be encour-
aged.

CROPS IN THE STATE.
BEAUFORT.

bEAUfOhIs
The following report from D. A Hutte, ESQ.,,
shows the condition Of the crops in the vicinity
of Honey Ford, on the Salkehatchie Swamp,
embracing an area of from ten to twelve
miles:
Crops in good order; stands generally good,
both corn and cotton. Corn stands better In
low lands than usual. Crops backward on ac-
count Of cold, but are coming out. Enough
corn has been planted to do. Wheat just har-
vested; but little planted; yield generally good.
freedmen working finely.
MARION.
The Crescent says:
After q long dry spell we have at last had a
fine season. Crops were needing rain badly,
and gardens were nearly ruined. The dry
weather has prevented the replantlng no m
coming up, and the stand is bad, but the fields
are very clear Of grass.
BARNwELL.
The following letter shows the promising
prospects of the crops in Barnwell 1t is writ
ten from Three Runs, and dated June 10:
Last year came out very we'll, and in Janu-
ary had about $500 in my factors hands in
Charleston. This season ! hope to do better
still, for have put an equal quantity Of land
in corn and provisions as last year, and about
fifty acres more in cotton, making two hun
dred acres in this crop, but have used more
fertilizers and have applied about three hun.
dred pounds of the same to each acre, which l
think will increase the yield fully fifty per
cent, and we'll repay me.
all around me there has been more land put
in cotton than last year, and more fertilizers
used, and il we have good season there viii
be much more cotton made; for can harvest
all that I can raise, and you may be certain
that no man will leave any in his field as long
as 1t is worth twenty-eight cents per pound.
do not think the cool spring has injured
my crop at all, but rather did it GOOD, for 1t
kept it back until it gained strength, and the
hot sun has made it shoot up splendldIy, and I
now have as good stand as ever had during
my seven, ee years Of planting.
The negroes in this neighborhood, Of all
sexes, are working well-better than they have
done since the war.
