TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
None Of the people in this neighborhood
wish to step outside of the . Jaw to obtain re-,
dress for wrongs, but we want sufficient and
adequate punishment inflicted when crime is
committed, and We hold that the Judge who
denies us this ia party to any unlawful acts
that may In. consequence arise. case In
point has created quite an excitement In this
community. On or about the 4th of July last,
Mr.. F., (who had lately been marrled,) on his
return from work, found his wife nearly dead
from wounds inflicted by an axe In the hands
of Nelly Grimes, colored. Like law-abidlng
citizen, instead of taking the matter In als own
hands, he Immediately applied for q war
rant OF arrest for the said Nelly Grimes. The
arrest was made the next night as she was
attempting to escape on the cars, and she was
sent to jail at Orangeburg to await trial for
assault and battery with Intent to KILL" On
the case being called at the October session of
the court. she plead guilty to the entire charge,
and was sentenced TO thirty days in Jail. Is
this an adequate punishment for crime like

lady nearly killed; laid up In bed for long
time, her health perhaps permanently injured,

BURSTING A KU.KLUX BUBBLE.
The Alleged Whipping OF MIR. Hytten-

Victim.

The following letters appear in the last issue
of the Sumter News:
SUMTER, October l6. 1871.
Mr.. Editor-The Columbia Daily Union, in
Its issue of the I'd inst, contained an extract
las he says) from letter from Sumter, writ
ten on Saturday, September 30th, saying that
a store-keeper by name Of Ryttenberg, liv-
ing fifteen miles from Sumter. was taken on
Friday night previous, and terribly whipped
by the Ku-Klux, and for no other reason than
his being O Republican. My attention was
first called to that article by Mr. Paxton, of
the Sumter Watchman; and being satisfied
that the malicious aud slanderous report
alluded to me, requested him to deny the
same through his paper, and made the same
request of the editors of the Sumter News,
both as regards the whipping and my being
Republican, and stated TO them at that time
that was called upon three weeks previously
by some gentlemen In disguise, (whoever
they were do not know who requested to
see me, and assured me they would not harm
me in the least, in either person or property.
and merely requested me to stop buying seed
cotton. And on nay giving them an affirma-
tive answer, they rode of, and have never
seen them since.
Both the Sumter Watchman and the Sumter
News have done me the justice to deny my
Columbia Union still sticks TO the lie. On the
5th instant, wrote L. Cass Carpenter, the edi-
tor and proprietor OF the Union, requesting
him to give me the name of his correspondent
who wrote that letter, but receiving no reply,
on the 9th inst, learned from Mr.. ]. N. Cor
bett who had Just returned from Columbia.
that Mr.. Carpenter was not there, and advised
me to write to Mr.. Everson, who was then
editing the Union, which did that day, and
made the same request from him as did from
Mr. Carpenter. And on the llth instant, re-
ceived the following rerly from Mr.. Carpenter,
[see letter. On the 18th instant, furnished
MIN sufficient proof that l was the person
alluded to, by letter from j. N. Corbett, county
auditor, certifying there being but one family
OF Ryttenbergs In this county, and denying the
outrageous report. Also, by letter from Ma.
jor VIM. F. DeKnlght, assistant assessor inter-
nal revenue, [see his letter below,1 who Ia
personal friend of E. W. Everson, sub-editor
OF the Union. and yet to this date, ample time,
he certainly had, to give me the correspond
| ents name, but has not. Why? Because he
| knows 1t to be lie, and tries TO shield him by
not giving his name.
Now, Mr.. Editor. having tried, but In vain,
to obtain the correspondents name, who
wrote that slanderouS and untruthful report
about me, denounce him, whoever he may
| be, as no gentleman, but q mean, contempta-
BILE scoupdrel and liar, and the editor who
afirms the responsibility of his correspondent
and still refuses to give his name, thereby In
flcting upon me the grossest Injustice and
wrong, as unworthy the confidence of high
toned or honest men. q. RYTTENBERG.

FROM CHIC.iGO.
More Scenes ud Incidents Of the Great
Conhagration.

The full horrors of the Chicago fire will prob
ably never be accurately known. For long
time to come they will not be adequately de-
picted, even if entirely realized. We append
some extracts from the accounts in the North
ern papers
THE SCENE IN TIE TUNNEL.
One of the most dramatic and impressive
scenes OF the fire, not yet reported, was the
flight through the new LaSalle street tunnel
under the river during Sunday night. 1t was
about 2 o'clock when this strange hegira be-
gun, and in ten minutes 1t became curious
route. The bridges on both sides were on fire.
and the flames were writhing over the decks
OF the brigs In the river, and winding their
fierce arms Of flame around the masts and
through the rigging like monstrous, luml-
nous devil-fsh. The awful canopy OF fre drew
down and closed over Water street as the
shrieklng multitude rushed for the tunnel, the
only avenue of escape. The gas works had
air eady blown up, and there was no light In
any house save the Illumination which lighted
up only to destroy. But into the darkened cave
rushed pell .mell, from all directions, the fren
zied crowd-bankers, thieves, draymen, wives,
children-in every stage OF undress, as they
had leaped from burning lodgings, a bowling.
imploriDg, cursing, praying, waiting mob,
malaing their desperate dive under the river.
1t was as dark in the tunnel as 1t is In the Gen.
IRE Oh Tie tdllL, pCludpo udIhcI. uuuuIeu5 vi
the fugitves were laden with furniture, house.
hold goods, utensils. loayes OF bread and pieces
of meat, and their rush through the almost
suffocating tunnel was fearful In the extreme.
They knocked each other down, and the strong
trod on the helpless. Nothing was heard at
the mouth of the cavernous prison but muf-
fled howl OF rage and anguish. Several came
forth with broken limbs and terrible bruises,
as they scattered and resumed their flight un-
der the blazing sky in the North Ward.
A CONSUMING FIRE.
There is an amazing absence of debris, for
the fire seems to have literally swallowed all
these huge houses, leaving nothing behind but
heaps OF ashes and q few scraps oil lrsn. l nau
expected to find The streets encum oered win
huge masses of bricks, iron, and other refuse,
but found them almost entirely clear, and no
where so blocked as to be impossible lor venl-
cles. 1t seemed as if the fire devoured the
buildings so rapidly that only insignihcant
fragments tell to the ground, and can readily
believe the statement that the flames spread
from block to blobk faster than a man could
walk. But, complete as Is the destruction in
the South Division, 1t Is as nothing compared
With that in the North Division. There, with
one execution, everything Is levelled even
witb fhe streets. Not timber remains, nor
one single brick in its place. The one excep-
tion ia another marvel OF this great contagra
tion. as IL IS frame house that was In the
aidst of the fire, and yet 1t is scarcely touched.

Letter from Major VIM. F. DeKnlgntl

SUMTER, October IL, 1871.
Major E. ". Euerson-Dear Friend: In an
Informal way will state to you all know
about the Ryttenberg affair. That he has been
visited by K. &. he himself made no secret.
He openly stated that they called on, and con-
strained him to stop buying seed cotton:
threatening to compel him If he refused. but
on his complying using no violence. That,
however. occurred some time lat least three
weeks) before the report OF the whipping,
which is positively denied. and has for some
time been generally dlscredited here. 1t Ger
tainly does great harm to 80 hastily give pub
licity to such report, without 1t being posi-
lively known to be true. Hearing the rumor
myself In the morning your CORRESPONDENT
wrote, l questioned Mr.. Ryttenberg's brother
here as to the fact, and he at once denied the
whole occurrence. Truly, yours,
(Slgned) WM. F. DEKNIGhT.

said that fhe South Carolina delegation were

gresham Rainey rose, repelled the accusation,
and disavowed any intention on the part of
bis colleagues to do so. An angry discus

by delegates from other States. The presi-
dent, however, checked the debate, which at
one time threatened to assume dangerous
aspect.

Bench, gave sumptuous dinner this evening

there were many invited guests, among whom
