The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Tribune says in his letter of the
9th instant:
Governor Scott has called upon the Pre-
sident for United States troops to suppress
outrages in the counties OF Union and
York, in South Carolina, where he reports
that men are murdered or driven from
their homes nightly, because of their po-
litical opinion. Governor Scott informs
the President that there is no sufficiently
armed and equipped militia to give the
needed protection, and that if he.did have
at his disposal competent militia force,
there are no funds in the State treasury to
transport and subsist them.
He says that it is not just or reasonable
in the government to expect him, with the
limited military resources of the State, to
successfully meet in the field the trained
soldiers who held the United States at bay
for four years, and often achieved signal
triumphs over its best armies and that to
expect this of him is to initiate the Egyp,
tian system, with most grievous improve
ment, requiring the making of bricks with
neither straw nor clay. He states that the
Ku-Klux, that were formerly thought to
be a mere political ghoul, a bloody spec
ter, conjured up for party purposes, is now
terrible fact, an armed organization,
thoroughly equipped, having its field, staff,
and line officers, and established lines of com
munication. He says that If Congress will
pass an act guaranteeing the State full
reimbursement for moneys expended in
suppressing domestic violence, South Caro-
lima can then obtain the necessary credit
to mobilize her militia, and sustain them
in the field Nothing but permanent
garrison in the dsafected sections will give
the protection to the men who are threat
ened with murder or exile, solely because
of their fidelity to the principles of free
government. AS an evidence Of the con-
dition of affairs in South Carolina, the
facts are stated, that, on last Monday q
company of United States troops, that left
Columbia for York, had the railroad torn
up in their front by body Of armed men,
and were obliged to march by the road.
On Friday last the Republican members
| Of the Legislature, now sitting, paid men
TO picket the road leading from the Capt.
| tai, because of well grounded fears Of a
Ku-Klux raid upon their body. A COM
mittee of three members of the Legislature
| of South Carolina will arrive here in a day
or two to lay the condition of affairs in
South Carolina before the President Mr.
Warren Wilkes, the leading Conservative
member of the South Carolina Legislature
| is one of the committee.

Krupp's steel works.

The following particulars respecting
Krupp's Steel Works at Essen, Prussia,
are taken from private letter written in
1866 by a person then employed in the
establishment:
The buildings are in the close vicinity of
coal mines, and comprise workshops (of
which the largest is appropriated to the
boring and turning of cannon), rolling
works, puddling-works, melting-furnaces,
water-works, locomotive-wheel factory
lin which Krupp himself was originally a
workman), eoke-ovens, factory for fire.
bricks, &c. OF the thirty-fve steam-han-
mers in use in 1865, two, called respec-
lively MAX" and sFrederic," cost six
hundred thousand Prussian dollars each,
while third, TO be called Hercules" was
in process of construction. and estimated
to cost a million of dollars. It's weight
was to be two hundred thousand pounds,
and that of the anvil four thousand
pounds
In each of the pudding furnaces four
hundred pounds of steel were made every
two hours, after which the channel of the
furnace was cleared and repaired The
numerous chimneys, two hundred feet
high, contained each boiler for utilizing
the waste heat, placed erect, as safer and
less liable to be ologged by sediment than
if horizontal From the furnace the steel
was carried on iron basket-wagons to the
hammer, which forged the porous mass
into pieces foot and half long by six
inches thick, which were then returned to
the furnace, to be again brought back !;
and this process having been repeated three
times, several pieces We're welded together
of the required length. and then trans
ferred to the rolling-mill.
The largest piece Of ordnance ever con-
structed by Krupp at the time of which we
write weighed 500 cwt., and was designed
to throw ball of six hundred pounds. It
was made for the Russian government
The orders from the Prussan government
then amounted to only million and a
half of dollars. A gun of 400 cwt. had
been ordered by the japanese ambassador.
In casting piece of this size the services
Of eight hundred men are required, and al
though the process lasts only ten min
utes, the heat to which they are exposed is
SO intense that they are allowed an inter-
val of two hours to recover from the conse-
quent exhaustion.
The number of men then employed by
Krupp amounted to seventeen thousand
and fifty-one, of whom, however, about
nine thousand were miners. The wages
of the other workmen averaged ten Prus-
sian dollars week per man. Each work
man carries in his pocket tin plate
stamped with number, by which he is
recognized at the pay Office, Every man
who has worked sixteen years in the estab-
lishmeut receives a pension equal to his
full wages.

The Western Judicial District of
Virginia.
ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED STATES
CIRCUIT AND DISTRICT COURTS.

These courts were duly organized at
Danville on Monday and Tuesday last, by
his Honor, Judge ALEXANDER RIvEs.
There were present besides the Judge,
Colonel R. w. Hughes, of Abingdon, U.
S. District Attorney; Colonel A. s. Gray,
of Harrisonburg, q. S. Marshal and Jno.
S. Slater, Esq, of Marion, assistant Dis
trict Attorney, appointed by the Attorney
General of the United States.
The Judge appointed Charles P. Latham
clerk of the two courts, and also appointed
Mr.. Latham commissioner of the court,
to make preliminary examinations into
offences against the laws Of the United
States, to take depostions, &c. Colonel
Gray appointed Mr.. j. S. Lloyd, of Dan
vile, his deputy marshal for the U. S.
courts sitting in Danvil'e.
The exceeding high waters prevented
the attendance of quorum of the Grand
Jury, and there being not enough criminal
business ready to justify the summoning
of full Grand Jury, the District Attor-
icy declined to request such action for the
present. 1t is understood that special
session of these courts will be held at Dam
vile some weeks hence.
These courts will be organized at Lynch
burg next week at Abingdon on the week
following, and at Harrisonburg in the last
week of the present month,
Grand juries will be in attendance upon
the courts at each place but it is not ex-
pected that very much business will be
done at their first terms, besides the neces-
sary business of organization.
The counties of the State composing the
Western District Of Virginia are all those
west of and including the counties of Hal
ifax, Charlotte, Appomattox, Buckingham,
Albemarle, Madison, Greene, Warren,
Clarke, and Frederick.

SWITZERLAND has suffered severely from
the Franco-Prussian war. The contiguity
of its territory to the field of operations
has made it place of refuge first for the
Germans expelled from France, and after
wards for thousands of French soldiers
hemmed in upon its borders. A strict
impartial neutrality has been maintained
all through, and this has necessitated the
expenditure of large sums Of money in
the maintenance of strong armed force
preventing violations and 10 guarding
prisoners, as well as in feeding and other
wise providing for the latter. The plucky
little Republic has thus experienced, in a
striking manner, the peril of being be-
tween two fires.
