SoUTH CARoLESA's DANGER.-Tho South
Carolina correspondent of the New York
Herald closes letter published in that paper,
with the following paragraph, which points
out the danger of tho one act Shich may give
her innocent citizens over to tho sword and
pilIago. Under the head Of Possibility Of
Armed Resistance" the writer says:
"And now one word more before I close.
It is estimvtcd in the proclamation Of the PrOsi.
dent that an instruction exists in Newberry,
Laulens; York, Union, Chesterfield, Chester,
Spartauburg, Lancaster and Fairfield counties.
dare the most prejudiced radical ousscrt that
a single armed band has been encountered by
the United States sollicrs The entire fed.
craI force in the district does not exceed one
thousand men, and these, in small squads,
scOur the country By night, and make arrests
with IMMUNITY. 1t the people were disposed
to resist the government they could aunihilate
this little force in single night; but thus
far they haze submitted quietly. Iruccnough,
appreGsnsiOus nrc expressed lest the young
men who have been driven from their homes,
or whose relatives have been arrested, become
desperate and inaugurate guerilla warfare
Such finale to the dCplorablc era inauguratcd
is not impossible; but it must bo said, in
simple Justice to them, that tho Influential!
citizens counsel quiet ncqucsccnce in every
thing done By tho military authorities"

Insurance Ilmtrw-Now that tho smoke
Of the Chicago fire has cleared away our in.
suraucc men have had au opportunity to rs.
certain their losses. We have it from tho
best authority that our Wheeling companies
will not lose in the aggregate more than SEO,'
600 By the Chicago fire. As there ore some
i've or six Of them carrying this loss it will
no, fall severely on any Of them. We arc
also Informed that about seventy companies in
the country are ruined by the Chicago fire,
and that, perhaps, not exceeding thirty others
will be forced to wind up on account Of their
losses. In these latter companies our citizens
hold policies representing not exceeding S4O,.
GOV insurance, ind on these policies there has
been paid as premiums about fifty per cent.
Of that amount. or course, all such policies
Of insurance are being replaced by policies in
other companies, by the holders, and US speed
ily as possible. Taking it all in all, Wheel.
ing has in great measure escaped tho blow
that has fallen on the insurance interests Of
nearly every other principal city in the Union
IIhcciiay Register.

Baptism. Yesterday morning long be-
fore the time, 40 O'clock the banks of
the river were crowded with all colors, near
the cedar bucket manufactory, to witness
one hundred and sixty-four precious souls
saved by the blood of Christ, following him
in the ordinance of baptism. This was,
indeed, a grand scene; many were brought
to tears, to hear the shouts of some that
were buried with the Lord in the ordinance.
Jordan Smith was the officiating minister,
and the whole work was performed in
sixty-eight minutes. Better order has not
been Witnessed on such an occasion. Man
chester can do things in decency and in order
when she wishes.
Spirited Contest.-In the Manchester
Baptist Sabbath-school, there has been d
heated contest between the boys and girls
for the banner. This banner is placed on
the boys side of the house when they beat,
and on that of the girls when they beat.
Yesterday the banner was placed in the
centre of the room, indicating that it was a
drawn battle; so the school will rest upon
their arms until next Sabbath, at which time
We expect powerful struggle. We think
from the preparation that is being made,
the girls will lam champion r. II Beazley.

die the people out of their hard-earned VIC
t)ry?
During the administration of the present
gerrynandering Council, a new office was
created, in order to provide for the defeated
candidate for Commonwealth attorney.
The Council made the Office of city attor-
ney, and fixed his term of office for four
years. Nothing can be clearer than that
the members of the Council elected for only
one year cannot make an office to perpettl-
ate their favorites in office for longer term
than their own. If do not greatly mis-
take the spirit and purpose of our new
Council, this fifth wheel of coach"-
the city attoncy-will be "among the
things that were' soon after the first of
July next.
OF the same piece of legislation was the
election Of the Chief of the Fire Depart
ment for two years. | believe that it is a
well established principle that the body
that makes can also unmake, and our new
Council, having been so emphatically called
upon by the handsome majority given
them to take care of the interests of the
people, and protect them in all their rights,
it will be seen that these precious swindles
will be promptly taken care of, and all
offices filled by the body latest from the
people.
| am pleased to see in the local columns
of the Index sumdry articles which pretty
clearly indicate that the writer is of the
same opinion which hold in these matters.
And while on this subject, must commend
the Inder for the evident fairness which it
manifests in dealing with the incoming
Council. Though bitterly opposed to it
politically, it does not seem to desire to
throw obstacles in the way or umderrate
the unusual difficulties to be encountered.
Note the following from the Leder of yes
terday:
A HEAVY LoAD.-The newly elected Council
will have Il heavy load to carry in the shape OF
bills payable, which will be left to them by the
present incumbents. This little item now foots
up about fifty five thousand dollars.
Let the above stated fact be remembered
by the Democrats at the close of the year.
lperceive by the lnder of this morning,
that the Mayor is after the man who carries
the mails between our city postoffice and
the depots, on account of the noisy wagon
he uses. | do not know that the Mayor
has any right 'sto prescribe what sort of a
wagon shall be used for this purpose; but
| must say the vehicle is the most unmiti-
gated nuisance now in this city. 1t is a
most ungainly, clunsily built affair, without
springs, and goes rumblng and changing
over the pavements with most deafening
din. On Sundays and early morning, when
the streets are otherwise quiet the noise OF
this abomination resembles the roaring OF
artillery and infantry combined in the fierce
conflict of battle. For PHYS sake, Mr..
Mayor, Mr.. Postmaster, Mr.. Mail Contract
or, or Mr.. Anybody else, who has the
power, please abate this nuisance, or every
body in Petersburg will become hopelessly
deaf or insane. OCCASIONALLY.

THE New York World, the inspiration
and leading spirit in the ''new departure"
in fit of forced candor shows its hand.
With fair words and fine phrases it has
sought to delude the mthinking into the
belief that the Democratic party, in aban-
doning its opposition to the thirteenth,
fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments, had
accepted them and their logical sequences
IN toto. Not so, however 1t still refuses
to abide by the laws of Congress for the
protection of each and every citizen in the
rights guaranteed him by the fourteenth
amendment, under which the Kulllux bill,
as it is called, was framed and passed. 1t
is nonsensical to talk of acceptance" or
"acquiescence" in the legitimate results of
the war without recognizing the validity of
these amendments and their full scope
This the Democracy refuses to do, and un-
til it does eoncede the power of the General
Government to protect its citizens in every
State Of the Union, it is the same old trea-
sonable organization, which the patriotism
of the country must unite in defeating.
