necessary, to teach others how to act under sim

one OF his deputies pa1aped him on the subject
OF this burglary. He told them to go to China
town and bring him certain named Chinaman
when this Chinaman was brought to the iail the
key was turned on him, and, with some persua
sion, it was learned that the act was committed
by Cinnamon, and that the property Was cor
cealed near town and that the man nov in Jail,
WAS one of the criminals but here the
matter hung FIRE, and nothing could be don,
farther without violating the law On Tuesday
evening, large, but orderly crowd of our citi-

The Chester Reporter, in an article
which seeks to interpret the present con-
dition OF things in philosophical spirit,
says, with force:
eve have already grievously suffered
for these errors, in our good name, in
our material prosperity. in the imprison-
meut OF many of our best citizens, in
our deserted farms und homesteads, aud
i'll TINT universal gloom which hangs
over us like u pail, shadowing all our
lives. Crushed aud torn, We lie PROS
trate In dust and ashes, aud cry aloud
for peace and protection. The evils
which have befallen us are not all OF our
doing. aud it is not right that we alune
Should atone for them.
''These evils and crimes have been made
possible by that abnormal and unnatural
condition OF affairs, which has prauti-
cally excluded tue best and most capa.
BILE Of our citizens sfrom all participation
save in the burdens Of the Government.
There Can be no permanent peace or
prosperity 30 long as this is the case.
That government alone can be- called
durable and worthy Of tue name, which
hus its foundations deep in the hearts OF
its citizens. and which depends for its
support, not upon the bayonet of the
stranger. but upon the strong arms of it's
own people. Can it be wondered at,
that a government, the leading officials OF
which vie with each other in the denun-
citation Of each others rasoality, and
whose Legislature is notoriously corrupt,
should, III the hour of its perils. fail to
draw to itself that support, aud, in its
impotence. become the easy prey to vio-
lence and faction. Let the government
become honest and pure, and let the ad-
ministration Of its laws be entrusted to
firm and upright men, whose character
will be- sure guarantees of justice and
right, and there is no danger OF repeti-
ton OF our sOrrowful and disgraceful
history.
''Thcro is snch an awe in virtue that
it will strike to the earth the impious
hand that dares assail her, and purified
and redeemed people will smite the
ready hand of violence wherever it may
be raised"

known to the Financial Board. consisting
of Gov. Scott, Treasurer Parker and At.

TROUBLE on THs CAROLINA SrDE.-We
had an interview. yesterday evening.
with gentleman who resides upon the
Carolina side of the river in regard to
affairs III that section. He gives a par
ticul.rly gloomy account of the situation
ut present, and is, by no means, hopeful
of the future. Matters grow worse and
worse every day, and no white man who
lives III IA thinly populated neighborhood
considers his life or property safe. The
carpet-baggers are taking pains to in
hamc the negroes with incendiary pur-
poses, and to array them collectively and
Individually against tho whites, and
serious trouble is momentarily expected.
Since the Montmollin affair, the par.
ticnlars of which have been previously
reported in these columns, the negroes
in that section are outspoken in their
threats Of incendinrism, and in their de-.
nunciatiOn Of the whites. Crowds of
negroes throng the roads leading 10
Blntfton, whittier they 90 for the pur-
pose of drawing guns. Under whose su-
pervision this drawing takes place. our
informant does not know. Along with
the guns they are supplied with rounds
OF ball cartridges, buyonets, cartridge
boxes aud belts-regulsr army accoutre-
ments-and things appear to be rapidly
assuming u war footing
Our Informant says that Scott. the car.
pet-bag Governor OF South Carolina,
was Mt Bluffton few days before the
drawing OF arms began. aud he is Of the
opinion that this visit of the Governor
Is in some way connected with the arm
ing OF tho blacks. The negroes are or
ganiziDg themselves into ompanies, and
are very insUient aad insulting to the
whito people. The Montmollin place is
regularly guarded by oolored patriots.
There seems to be settled purpose, on
the part Of the blacks, to drive the white
people from their estntes; and this pur-
pose, under the teachings OF the carpet
baggers and the patronage OF the COR
rupt State government, will, no doubt,
soon develop into absolute inoendiarism.
