BILE meteor was seen here about Z o'clock this
evening in the west Instead of moving hor-
Eontally, as is usual, 1T assembled vertically and
then descended over the same course, explod-
ing and leaving fleecy cloud like smoke or
steam, which lasted in the sky about ten min
utes.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon fire broke out
in the large four story brick building on the
northwest corner of Ninth and Wallace streets,
used for manufacturing purposes, which in a
short time was completely destroyed. The
building was worth $4,000 and insured for
nearly its value. -Four private dwellings were
also burned. Total loss will probably reach
100000.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE.

the Reading Railroad this morning, above
Morristown, by which nearly 100 coal cars
were demolished and two men killed. Two
coal trains collided and were run into by

10000 FRESH SPANISH TIoops FOR
CuDA.-It is said that efforts are to be
made to import 10000 troops from Spain
to put down the revolution. The Spanish
officials in Cuba and the Castilians at
home having no money, nor the means
of raising 1t, to pay the expenses of ship
ping and supporting this army, Cuban
loyalists, largely interested in property
and trade on the island, purpose to sub
scribe the necessary sum, each contribut-
ing according to the value Of his estates
81, 100000 is the amount estimated for
putting 10000 fresh Spanish soldiers in
the field, to say nothing of subsisting
them while there.

ANDERSON G. H., S. c., Aug. 81, 1869.
EDITOR PHOENIX: Your journal of this
date contains despatch. copied from
the Charleston Republican, in reference
to anticipated trouble at this place, and
you very rightly pronounced it an exag-
geration and all uosh." The origin of
the rumor is simply ridiculous, and the
trouble really exists in the prolific ina
ginings of the rcdoubtable Investigat-
ing Committee. It is said that the Com
mittee have been somewhat annoyed by
thoughtless boys, and, in fact, have been
allowed to hear some uncomplin,en. .,ry
illusions to themselves and radicals &C.
nerally. Added to this, couple of
youths who were before the Committee,
on oath, refused to answer questions
propounded by colored member Be-
yond these facts, there is no earthly rea-
son for the cowardico and knavery ac-
tuatiDg the Committee in sending for the
State Constabulary. Gov. Scott need
have no fear of an "out-brcak," unless
his own peculiar "pets" bring it about;
and often enough since the Committee
arrived have drunken negroes made
night hi1nOus with their loud cursing
and lmprecn' ms against the whites.
But, evc- with this annoyance, we are
not in need of the constabulary, and can
safely promise that we will have
PEACE.

THE INCOME TAX.-The people may
well be opposed to any mere modifca-
tion of the income tax, if it's entire repeal
can be effected. No form OF taxation
has proved so obnoxious or so full OF
generalization as this. A leading North
ern contemporary says it will not exclude
the nefarious whiskey frauds when we
say that the attempts to collect the in
come tax have been moro fruitful in pro-
ducing fraud and perjury than any other
method of collecting the revenues Of tho
Government. Moreover, i, is an un-
profitable tax, because the cost of col
lecting it is disproportionately large. It
is particularly offensive and unpopular,
because of its inquisitorial character.
Besides, it is we'll understood that the
heavy tax imposed on the incomes of
hard-working people is not necessity.
AS the new views. which, it appears. are
just now finding favor in Washington, 60
to show that the expenses of the Govern
ment can be obtained from the revenue
on whiskey, tobacco and other luxuries
as we'll as on stamps, there is no reason
why there should not be very extensive
modification Of the income tax.

SALAD. 1t is said that heads Of salad
can be produced in winter in from twcn-
ty-four to forty eight hours, by taking n
box filed with rich earth, in which one
third part of Stacked lime has been
mixed, and watering the earth with luke
warm water; then taking lettuce seed,
which has been previously softencd by
soaking in strong brandy twenty y-four
hours, and sowing in the usual way. We
are assured, but will not youch for the
fact, says the Philadelphia Ledger, that
goodsizcd head of lettuce may be OBJ
tanned in the time mentioned.
