OUR "PRoTECToRs. There has been
nothing heard in town from the camp cf
our Kings Mountain home guard since
our last issue, from which fact we infer
that the usual good order of our County
has been unbroken, even by the organi-
zation of military company. The
State constables have gone back to CO.
lumbia, leaving the task of protecting
the border against Ku-Klux raids in the
hands of the new-made warriors. AS
there is nothing for these to do but to
draw pay, we feel assured that their du-
ties will be nobly done.
The Charleston Republican published
the following despatch from Columbia,
which we reproduce as news for our
readers:
Disturbances in York County are re-
ported. The constabulary force have
just returned, having organized loyal
citizens and furnished them arms enough
for protection. X. X. KS, from North
Carolina, have been whipping and out
raging innocent persons for some time.
It is rumored that All engagement has
taken place, in which eight men were
killed"
The Ku-Klux referred to are supposed
to be bona tfde ghosts, the spirits of Fer
guson and his Britishers. who left their
graves on Kings Mountain, in the ex.
peotation of having jolly old time; but,
hearing Of the approach of Littlefield,
vanished into thin air, OF the very idea
of being reconstructed. The eight men
killed, vanished with them, and their
bodies have not yet been found. The
military are prepared to fight these Ku-
Klux to the last ditch, on their re-appear-
ance, and fly to arms at every breeze
which rustles over the mountain battle
ground. Should they fall, in the une-
quail combat with ethereal foes, they will
have the consolation that it is sweet to
die for their country.

War Revenges.

The New York Herald refers to ''some
dreadful revenges exhibited by the war. "
Notably, that the former seat of the
statesman, Jefferson Davis, in the Senate
of the United States, is now being filled
by "Revels, colored man." Well, this
is piece of vengeance that Mr.. Davis
can bear with more equanimity than the
Jacobin party that has wrought the
change. We folks, down South, can
stand itas we'll as the white people North.
sent Congress, "but," says the Herald,
'the most terrible revenge of all falls
upon Sumner. The black man has been
his idol. He has worked for him harder
than the black slave ever worked for
jeff Davis. He has set his highest aim
on attaining the Senatorship for one of
the oppressed race. But in proportion
as he loved the negro, he has hated the
white master. He has been grinding
him hard ever since the rebellion tripped
him. He has, like Shylock, got him on
the hip, and would feed fat the ancient
grudge he owes him. But at this very
juncture, in comes this negro Senator,
whom he (Sumner) had, as it were, rails
ed to the Senatorial seat beside him, and
this negro, of all others. brings in pc
tition to restore their rights to the dis
franchised rebels and to let Antonio keep
his pound of flesh. 1t is enough to
make even Sumner swear at the black
man, Out, out, damned spot!'
"The arrival of q colored man to sue.
ceed JEFF. Davis as Senator, and his being
allowed seat, by courtesy, his State not
yet being re-admitted, is most startling
exempliaoation of the great revolution
that has swept over the country, putting
the bottom rails on top and the top rails
at the bottom. changing customs. tastes
and principles Bills to admit Mississip-
piito representation were introduced in
both Houses yesterday, the official re-
cords Of the reorganization of the State
are all on hand, and the Mississippi bill,
with its colored attachment, will proba-
bly, soon become one of the exciting
topics before Congress. Will Sumner,
Drake and Company, swallow tho color
cd man as readily as they insist on others
swallowing him?"

The Industrial Movement tn Cb orleston.
AS our readers have observed, it is
proposed by the South Carolina Institute,
in Charleston, to move out from its
retirement and have grand fair in "the
city by the sea-" in November next.
We are pleased to record this action.
We desire to see Charleston flourish.
It is o city that numbers among its
inhabitants noble women and genuine
men. We have lived amongst these
people. and we appreciate their sterling
exesilences, their tone. intelligence and
refinement. The step taken is step in
the right direction. We are in favor of
all fairs, whether in the capital or in the
metropolis is-whether at the centre of the
State or upon the circumference. Mr..
Iawton, member of the Executive
Committee of the State Agricultural and
Mechanical Society, has properly said
that there is no antagonism between the
State Fair and the proposed Charleston
Fair. Let each be held, and let each be
maintained. At the meeting in Charles
ton, to arrange some Of the necessary
preliminaries, we notice that Messrs.
w. M. Lawton and w. D. Porter and
General Wilmot G.. DeSaussure and
other active aud influential gentlemen
are interesting themselves in the matter.
Let the project be consummated. AS q
member of the interior press, We take
occasion to commend the fair to our
readers.

SENSIBLE WoRDs.-The editor of the
Keowee Courier, writing from Columbia,
thus refers to the great necessity of
placing honest and capable men into
office: "We have to live under this Go
vernment until it is modified by the
growth of public virtue and enlighten-
ment. Whatever change may then be
effected will not DO sudden. as if by
magic, but gradual, and by earnest
when principle shall prevail will come,
if at all. in this very way. Until the
country is prepared for this, let lis have
as good Government as possible"

MURDERoUs ATTACK ON AMERICANS IN
HAvANA.-Four Americans were attacked
in the streets of Havana, on Sunday
morning. They were fred on, at first,
by rowdy, and afterwards treated in a
most cruel manner by the mob who
gathered round them. One of the men
was killed, two others were seriously
injured, and the fourth escaped unhurt.
The only offence the Americans were
guilty of was that of wearing blue neck
ties. This annoyed a rowdy, and he
fred on the wearers, and thus paved the
way for further outrage. This is nice
specimen of Havana rowdyism. 1t is
consoling, however, to learn that "hang-
ing for murder is not played out" in
Cuba, for we are informed that the Cap
tain General has resolved that when the
culprit is arrested, he will be tried by q
drum-head court-martial and executed
within two hours after the sentence is
passed.

getic measures in the work of missions,
both in the destitute fields of the Church
and in other places which seemed to offer
good openings.
The committee appointed for the purpose
