ANOTHER SENSATION were
reports yesterday. of ''war of rnces,"
at, ,Blsokstaoks. two persons killed,
several wounded, etc. We traced the
ruhor aud found. as might have been
expected, that it was incorrect-there
was no fight, and, of course. nobody
killed. 1t appears that few nights
ago, an old lady: overheard some CO.
lored men declare that if the whites
wanted to have war. now was the
time. A while afterwards a servant
stated to her. that on Friday night,
there was to be an attack on Messrs.
John A. Bryce and others, and after
cleaning them out. they would march
upon Winnsboro. When this, was
communicated to some of the neigh
bors, .hey armed themselves and pre-
pared 10 resist the anticipated raid,
but graders did not come and the
matter ended.

CoRREcT1oN. Below we insert
ehort communication from W. Gilmore
Simms, Esq, in reference to point
in the proceedings of the State Tax
Union. We are indebted to this gen
tleman for courtesies in connection
with it. BY the way, it should have
been stated that the Union passed a
vote Of thanks to him for his efficiency
as its Secretary:
MIR. EDITOR: I notice in your issue
OF to-day an error which I deem it
proper to correct. viz: The resolution
Of Mr. Wm. Elliott, with reference
to the use of the tax organizations
throughout tho State for the purpose
of aiding the citizens candidate. was
not adopted. but laid on the table, by
the lax Union. Respectfully yours,
w. GILMORE SIMMS,
Secretary State Tax Union.
You HAVE SEEN H1M.-You often
see him on the streets. He looks 80
neat with his little feet and pants that
Hap at the bottom. But that's the
fashion now, you know, and the whole
hog he's bound to 60. no matter who
protests or "no." as long as they flap
at the bottom. He might reef in a
sail or two, or take out enough to make
some new, and then have enough to
sail him through the troubled sea OF
fashion. A man who wears about his
fest so much cloth, with its shiftless
beat. we'll vouch don't get enough to
eat, and hos less brains than passion.
