ing version Of thet burning OF negro
Eshnrch in that coanty: IA
s. Pilgrim Church. for s4sit was called,
Was situated upon the Highw6y leading
from Chester to- Union, about twelve
miles from the former place. For seve-
raj years Sancho Sanders. colored, has
oMoiated rs preacher, ,only Aabsenting
himself while serving his country in the
Conyentiepe of 1868, and then in the
House Of Representatives. Uncle San
+oho. as he ecaHed- out there, has welded,
up to ashort. time back wonderful in
fl1ence, both politically and religiousIy,
over his brethren Of color--in fact, lead
ing them whereseever il. pleased him.
But alasl Sanoho was like fish out of
water in the Convention, and ditto in
the Legislature. Rumors of his stupid
ity in the House, of his employing his
time as a legislator in learning to write,
and Of many other things unbecoming q
man of whose wisdom they had enter
tanned the very highest opinion, came to
the ears of his constituents. and his po-
litical influence began to diminish. The
colored people mix up politics and re-
ligion to such an extent that what affects
one of their number as politician, ne
cessarily affects him as religious man,
and pice Dersa. Hence. when Sancho
began to lose prestige as politician, he
also began to lose prestige as preacher.
Out of his aock an opposition party
was formed with one Lee Sanders, CO.
lored, preacher likewise, as its shepherd.
Feelings of bitterness were soon engen-
dered, resulting ns we have learned, pre-
vious to the burning of the church, in
actual strife between the respective par
tisans Of Snncho and Lee. Carnal wea-
pons on more than one occasion were
displhy led, and perhaps used. Only n
few days before tho church. was burned,
we have been informed that threats were
uttered by some of Saucho's party, that
Lee Sanders should not preach there;
whether that threat contemplated the
extreme measure adopted we leave it to
the public to say. To us, taken in con-
nection with the differences existing be-
tween the parties, it seems to be the
most plausible version that can be given
to the whole affair. We have at some
length alluded to this matter, for feeling
that the credit of the white citizens of
Chester was at stake, we have used every
means in our power to arrive at the
truth, end now we give the result of our
Investigation to the public.

We had time yesterday to reply but
briefly to the question of the Winnsboro
Ne,Os. These are our views more fully ex-
pressed: The issue that is made with radi-
calism in South Carolina ow is outside of
the subject of suffrage. That matter has
certainly been settled in South Carolina.
In the reconstruction scheme forced
upon South Carolina, this question was
left to the decision of majority of the
voters; that majority consisted of me-
groes, and naturally unqualified suffrage
was the result, In the last Presidential
canvass the reconstruction scheme of
Congress-, with all its Incidents, was for
mally put upon its trial before the coun-
try. We opposed it. and our views re-
main unchanged. But the election of
Grant made Congressional reconstruc-
tion can accomplished fact" in South
Carolina. Hence, we must now remove
the question of suffrage from the pre-
sent politics of the State, and make the
fight with radicalism upon more favor
able grounds. Those grounds will be
found abundant-even after the elimina-
tion of the suffrage question.

To BE EDUCATED AS A JoURNAL1sr.-
We learn that the Faculty of Washington
College, Virginia, of which General Lee
is President, has determined to give free
education at that institution to number
of young men, who intend adopting the
profession of journalism. Every Typo
graphical Union in the South will be al
owed to select some young man, who SHALL
be not less than fifteen years old and able
to enter the lowest class, and send him
to the college. There he will be received
and educated gratis, but will be required
to work one hour in each day 6t the
printing trade in the Office of the college
newspaper.
On yesterday the President of the Au-
gusta Typographical Union received n
letter from the Chairman of the Board
of Trustees of Washington College, in
forming him that the Union would be
allowed to send on student. A meet
ing of the Union will be held in few
days for the purpose of selecting suitn-
BILE young man for the scholarship.

crossing of the railway from Nuevitas
to Puerto Principe. Almost totally in
active since that time, the explanation
given me is, that while the Dons are car
rying out O concentration in the Eastern
Department for an attack on Jordan, he
has employed the opportunity for. a
movement to the West. This conours
with the Spanish rumor that nshe force
near Colon was being followed up by q
large body'o OF men, and leads one to be-
lieve the positive assurances; of some
Cnbans, that great event is In progress
good reason to assure you that, whether
all this be true or only part of it, a large
proportion of Qussada's army is on its
way along the backbone OF the island
in the direction of Oardenas The in
tention of this movement, some Cubans
declare to be serious blow in the direc-
ton of the Vuelta Abajo; but whether
the blow they speak be really designed
or not, I can inform you with safety that
the object is to give the insurrection q
permanent footing, in one form Or an
other, on the railway communications of
Havana.
Jordan is hard at work making SOL
diers. A few score of English speaking
Cubans who have been educated in the
United States, have been kept by him
under his own special training in che
several forms of service, from adjutant
to drill sergeant. These young men
have shown great aptness, and, in the
course of a few weeks, many of them
we're fit for assignment to duty as train
ers of the patriot ranks. A wonderful
proficiency has already been acquired
for Cuban liberty; and trained now in
company, regimental and brigade ma
n9uvering, they have become, in their
disinclined enthusiasm, very effective
body of men,. Accustomed to fire, by
the experience of their irregular warfare,
with pivot-men who served in the Army
Of the Potomac, and sergeants and
officers trained under Jordan's eye, the
commander of these men says that he
can meet any corresponding number of
Spaniards' in a stand-off fight with per-
feet confidence An old army officer of
the United States army as he is, he does
not relish the running mode of warfare;
and now that he has brought his men up
to the standard of the soldier, he ,propo-
ses to meet the enemy on fair field,
front to front. With this view he has
drawn his force between Valmaseda and
his line of retreat. and is said to be far
advanced in the Eastern Department. If
Yalmaseda be defeated, his retreat may
be cut off and his ultimate capture &C
oomplished; but if Jordan be defeated
he may carry out on an open line of re-
treat his experience under Beauregard at
Corinth. Such are his views.

We turn aside for moment to refer
to the unhappy condition Of the Winns-
boro Neacs. In vain we have made the
,anaende for supposed stain inflicted by
the PHOENIX upon it's new banner or new
horse-iust as you please. Our soft
answer does not turn away its wrath; it
nurses this wrath to keep it warm. It's
weekly issue comes to us filed with its
terrible sarcasms and taunts and general
self-complacency. It has PHOENIX on the
brain, and we think it will do its brain
good. It confesses that it is unfit for
business; and we hope that it will soon
recover its equanimity. Observe this
presumptous idea: "The serenity and
composure of the PHOENIX is admirable,
but, nevertheless, perhaps, it will not again
attempt its game of misrepresentation,
by way of belittlement. O second time. "
No danger Of "belittlement;" no, not at
all, for the Ne,os now looms up before us
prophetic seer of the first magnitude.
Concentric, for it "sees clearly the mean
ing and logical consequence of fixed facts"
eccentric, for it flies off at tangent, it
is beginning to weary us, so we leave it
wrapped in the solitude of its own
originality"

SARATOGA, in the State of New York, is one of tho
most remarkable mineral reservoirs upon the surface

The Saratoga ssA.' Spring Water is probably the
most effective mineral water found either conti-

greater mineral properties than the celebrated Con-
gress Spring four times that of Baden Baden of
Austria five times that of AK la Chapelle in Prus-
STA ; twice that of Vichy in France /; nearly three
times greater than the renowned Settler of Germany;
and equally the Spas of Bath England, and Kis

The reputation of this water is based upon its eff

cases of Chronic Dyspepsia, Constipation, Gravel,
