HEIGHTS ABOVE HAMBURG, S. c.,
S,o,to,,,lo,. 10Th 1871

September 18th, 1871.
| To the Editor of the Union: .
DEAR SIR:-May 1 ask small space
| in YOUR most eXcellentpaper for the pur-
pose of giving your readers an account
| of the Ku KluX doings in the good old
county of Edgefield, a county that mas
been noted for its great qmetness ana
conservative principle?
There is a part of Edgefield county
which is known by the name OF the
! Ozark Corners" for what reason kr ow
not perhaps for some bloody transac-
! ton. such as am going to narrate.
About three weeks ago last Saturday
/ night, in that part of the county already
| named, an aged colored man and his
family were aroused by very loud call
ING at the door by party demanding
tlatthe door be opened and that he should
come out, as they wished to speak. to
him. He refused to open the door, but
said that he would on the morrow be at
Red Oak Grove church, and that there
they could see him. That promise did
| no good; they becamemore furious, and
| swore that il he did not open they would
| break down the door. The old man 5
said to the father that they would open
! the door, and if need be die in defense OF
their home. They armed themselves,
one with doublc-barrcl gun well loaded
with buckshot, (none of your bird shot,
the other with one OF the best OF pistols.
The young men then opened the door.
The moment it was opened they were
fired upon. They returned the fire, and
Immediately after they heard sounds OF
distress coming from the direction they
had fired. Thev tien went out q short
distance from tie house, and found two
Young white men wounded; one badly
in the thigh and lying on the ground, the
other III the arm.
Now, Mr. Editor, what do You think
did these young colored men do? TO
their everlasting honor be it said that in
stead Of doing what, perhaps, many 9TH
ers would have done under such cir
cumstances- the wounded
men; they took them up, carried them
into their house, and like good Samarl-
tans bound up their wounds, at the same
time telling them that to Edgefield Court
House they must go. In the meantime
some OF the wounded mems comrades,
who ingloriously fled at the first onset
returned, and while at some distance
from the house called aloud to Know l.
shey might come i'll. They were told to
come Ill, ludI luc l4Aiii'ttCS vi tHS ii",'''
we're not afraid Of Il dozen such. The
wounded men and their comrades beg
.eed and pleaded so much to have the
matter dropped, expressing great sor-
row for what they had done, saying that
they had been promised the pitiful sum
OF len doltury to perform the damnablc
Job of Ku-lIluNing. So after much fair
promises and the.paying of one hundred
dollars to the family before midnight,
the co!orcd man promised to keep the
names Of the party inviolate, although
we'll known 10 him.

Second Day-GOod and n
Good Time Generally.

The attendance yesterday was quite
large. Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather, fully W thousand people were
upon the grounds, and all seemed to be
well pleased with he proceedings. The
display in the floral hall was indeed good.
In this department we noticed a doll
dress made by Lizzie, aged nine years, the
little daughter OF Chancellor Simmons, OF
Ssrdis, which, for taste n skill for one
of her years, cannot be excelled. In this
hall the Grover d Baker, Singer and
Howe sewing-machines arc on exhibit
tion-all making a handsome display. In
the confectionery line, Joseph Specht, Of
Memphis, had a good showing.
a. L. Hatch q Co., of Memphis, made q
fine display of flowers snd plants. Mr.
YoWelly L. Winters, of sRrdis, carried of
the prize for the handsomest bouquet In
the agricultural department Messrs. Craig
* Co., OF Memphis, made a fair display.
In the Floral hall we noticed OIL exhi-
bition a piece OF statuary from the mar
BILE works of Messrs. Fisher, Amis 81 Co
Of Memphis, which WAS conceded by all to
be a perfect gem.
Uncle Tom and Aunt Mary have ele.
ean. apartments fitted up in the main

GENERAL NANCY.
He Explains the Facts in Reference 90
the State Bonds.


NASHVILLE, October 80, 1871.
Editors APpeGt-My attention having
lust been called 70 several articles in your
issue of the 2Sth instant, indicating that
at some time there had been q trade" be-
tween Hon, G. NJ. McGhee and myself
ia reference to State bonds issued to he
railroad company of which I am presi
dent, I deem it proper TO correct misaP-
prehensions by the ASSURANCE that | have
never, either as such president or indtvt-
dually, made any trade in bonds with Mr..
McGhee. Neither have 1 officially or per-
sonslly ever had a financial transaction
OF any character whatever with him, or
with any party known to me 70 be Rssc-
ciated with him.
With regard to bonds issued to this
rosd, had u been my conviction that any
such were "fraudulently" or wrong
fully" issued to me, they would at the
time have been restored to The State.
But they were delivered by order of the
governor, as I understood, under COUNSEL
OF the attorney-general of the State, and
I am not aware that any like legal adviser
for the State has ever since "declar5d"
they were 'tfraudulsntly or wrongfully
paid out" It il true these bonds were
exchanged, particulars of which TRANSACT
ton are fully stated in my last annual re-
port, and Inst this exchange was induced
by certain threatened action of the last
Legislature. But as Legislatures ara by our
cjnssitution incapable {. Judicial pow
ers, the legality of their issue could not
be properly determined by such q body.
That, after the exchange mentioned,
Mr.. McGhsa, or parties interested with
him, may have come in possession of sven
a large portion OF the honda originally is
sued 70 this road, is highly probable, but
those acquainted with the business course
Of such matters, will easily understand
this could occur without the least under
standing between US, and without even
wish or intention OF that result on the
part of either OF US.
While I have, gentlemen, no cause to
complain Of the least personal discOurtesy
st your hands, am sure you will sppreci-
ate that prominence in affairs not our
own, Is not the most pleasant Of things,
but beyond this mere personal considers
ton, I have felt it proper, in bshalf Of
facts, to make this statement, convinced
that knowledge of truth in the premises
viii be acceptable TO yourselves as to any
other party interested. Verv respectfully
yours, GEORGE Nancy.

SECRETARY OF srArR's OPFICE,

SECRETARY OF STATR's OFFICE,
NASHVILLE Tenn Oct. 30, 1871.
Editor AppedL-Mr. Pennebaker has
Just shown me your issue OF the both
inst, which contains an article from Mr..
Msthes, showing that a grievous error
had been made in the comptroller's re-
port, by which great injustice is done to
Shelby county.
This I admit, but it is proper for ne to
stats how this discrepancy occurred IL
order TO ~sxonerste Mr.. Penaebsksr. The
great smount of labor to be performed In
the comptroller's of3cs, and his old clerk
being absent, rendered it necessary for
him TO call in SONS assistance. This he
did, and Mr.. Blackburn (the former comp
trollerl and myself prepared the tabular
statements Of receipts on privileges, which
we made out from the returns as given US
by one of Mr.. Pennebsksr's clerks, who,
not being familiar with the papers, failed
to give US ALL of the returns.
l find, however, upon an examination
of the books OF the comptroller, hat the
proper credits have been given Of all re-
turns from Shelby county. Hoping this
explanation will be satisfactory,
1 am, very respectfully,

A DIVORCE ~souELcHED.
How the Peace OF n MuchIy- Divorced
Family Was Preserved.

May the good Lord forfend that Men,
phis sver gain a nOtoriety for divorces.
So great is our horror of this divorce
Made Easy" that we ave refused to per-
init the insertion of a card TO that effect
from q New York attorney, who proposed
10 part couples faster than a dozen minis
ters could unite them. But we rejoice to
chronicle the tact whenever oil is poured
upon the troubled waters and threatened
"breaking-up of housekeeping" sverted.
A case in point: Yesterday, q pretty little
woman consulted an attorney in regard
TO procuring a separation from her loving
hdsband-Jones, for instance. The attor-
Rey, kind of heart, sOothed her anger q
little, and requested to be allowed to
see Jones with whom he was we'll
acquainted, before fling her sppiics-
ton. The little woman didn't think
IL of any use; Jones thought her
whimsical; didn't give her credit for
having any sense at all; and-"Tell me
your troubles" says the attorney; sure
ly, it is not gone so far yet" WELL"
says Mrs. J., "uu tell you n thing:
Jones thinks l can get up his meals nscely
on q clumsy little stove he bought me; I
told him the only kind of stove that any
body could do anything with was the"
"Ah!" says the attorney. go you home,
my dear madam, and If l don't bring
peace to your household, call me Ben.
Butler, that's ALL" Thelady went home,
the attorney called on Jones, and Joues
called on Messrs. Risk q johnson, No.
BOG Main street, and sent as a p~eace-offer-
ing one Of Bucks Brilliant cook-stoves
He put in an appearance himself a few
hours after, and over their tea they called
down blessings on the head of the paten-
tee Of the stove, the dealers who supplied
it, and, you may be sure, did not forget
the attorney, who so deity cut the knot
of their domestic difficulties. Call on
Messrs. Risk q Johnson, ye husbands al,
and put it beyond the reach of your wives
TO have occasion to place You In the same
danger as in which stood Jones. = wHs
From private advices received BY
Messrs. Risk & Johnson from their agent
at CoEIngton, Tennessee, we learn that the
celebrated "Buck's Brilliant" stove was
again successful in carrying off the blue
ribbon at the Upton county, fair, held az
Covington last week. All those in need of
a good cooking-stove should go at once
and purchase a Bucks Brilliant" and
