somehow escaped attention in this coun-
try, but which seems to us, if it be cor
rect, to involve a very grave charge
against both the Kaiser and the|Emperor
of the French. The Correspondent, as our
readers know, is q little sheet printed at
Berlin, on one side only, published in
three languages at once, and transmitted
by post chiefly to editors and politicians.
It must be subsidized in Some form or
other, or it could not be issued it has
unusually early and correct intelligence
Oh all diplomatic subjects; aud it Is re-
garded on the Continent as the organ of
the Prussian bureau Of foreign aflira, so
much so, that it is Frequently quoted by
the Tclegraphic Agency, which is under
strict official control, as the 'semi-oficial
Correspondence" One Of the objects of
It's conductors for some time past has been
to show that Prussia in 1866 drew the
sword mainly from patriotic motives, and
it has now made a statement which, IN
less disproved, is a final justification Of.
Prussia, while ii reflects an indtlible dis
credit upon the Kaiser Francis Joseph
and the Emperor Napoleon. 4 writer In
tie Edin50rgh Revjev, evidently familiar
with German politics and political per
sonages, affirmed in its last number that
Count Won Bismarck had cheated The King,
had showed him the daily attacks on
Prussia in the Yienose journals while con-
cealing the proy0cation given by those
of Berlin, and had, in fact, annIhilated
Austria to avengo a personal piqae. The
Correspondent, fred by the charge which
in the pages Of the Edj05arsb Rev5eaU
might become historical, first denies that
the King either was or could be deceived
as to anything passing in his capital, and
then makes In italics-a most unusual
proceeding in it's cofumns--the following
astounding declaration :-"It is well
known to the Initiated that Venice had
been ceded to France before d shot was
fred in 1866, and that on the 18th June
of that year, one day after tho4etter Of
the Emperor Napoleon to the Minister
Drouyn de Lhuys, a convention was con-
cluded between the Cabinets Of Vienna
and Paris, according to which France,
after the overthrow of Prussia, was to be
Unidentified by cOmpensati0ns, or, in other
words, by the left bank of the Rhine"
It was that Convention, continues the
writer, which forced King William into a
war absolutely necessary to save his king
dom from ACKNOWLEDGMENT. He waged,
in fact, both for Germany and for PRUSSIA,
a war of self-defence.

X. X. K.-The following statement OF recent
alleged outrages perpetrated by the so-called ku-
Klux In Sumter County, is derived from Rad-
cal source, and is doubtless highly coored to suit
their purposes. The occurrences mentioned be-
low are probably the same as those alluded 70 In
our Columbia dispatches:
We are in possession OF information anu ai1ida-

time ago OF the people living IN the vicinity OF the
late Robertson outrage. They demanded that the
Radicals to the other. About sixteen coored men
went over to the Democratic side, and about
eighty remained firm to their principles. The
latter were told that they should not be per-
mitted to rent or farm lands on their own ac-
count.
On the night OF the second Of February party
Of armed men. in disguise, entered the dwelling
house or Jacob Price, man renting land from
Mrs. Bell. and commenced abusing his vile and
nained there about half an hour, and then set fire
to his barn. containing about forty bushels OF corn
which was entirely consumed. They also hred
two shots at one OF Prices sons, evidently with
the intent OF killing him. The only crime against
these persons seems to be their adherence TO Re-
publcaRIsm. This family became so terror.
stricken that they laid out in the woods for many
nights expecting these villains to return and
carry out their threats. They have been taken
