beautiful city, but whose life-blood has
been licked up by the degraded political
hounds that have 1ocked here since the
war. Leaving the wIgwam of the charm

Of the bewitching little Queen OF the Spin

chiyalry to which we were treated at the
Carnival" about midnight, before sunrise
on the It'll instant found myself en- route.
Stopping at " eldon, Goldsboro', Whining
ton, Florence, I found business merely
drifting upon the current Of time; every
thing awaiting the settlement Of the vital
question OF the day. The people in South
Carolina have made desperate struggle for
honesty and liberty. II fate should yet
longer favor the Internal doings OF these
lends, and the voice Of the true people be
ignored, the State will be deserted. We
cannot appreciate, any more than these peo-
pie can suffer longer, this persecution.
The day before leaving Richmond on
Main street were seen several boys bound
with ball and chain sweeping the public
way, aud much comment was created as to
which was evident to all. Yesterday /
visited the State penitentiary here. In one
department were fifty-eight boys, from
fourteen to eighteen years old-all black
save two. They are kept strictly separate
from other criminals. Succinctly this is
how they are treated: They were marched
in every conceivable manner across the
grounds with the aptness OF cadets. Then,
for our benefit, were conducted to school
room, where they are taught to read, write,
sing by note, and work, specimens OF which
We had, showing conclusiyely the good OF
this admirable prison discipline. A decla-
nation by boy OF seventeen was eX-
cellent, and the singing beautiful. In fine,
young offenders of the law are taught to
appreciate and protect it. When called
upon to address thena, to the question You
who are striving to go hence and propose
to make men OF yourselves, to elevate your
race" every hand was promptly raised. AS
the prison question is being agitated in our
legislature, let them consider this reclaim
Ing mode in preference to an eternally
damning custom Of punishment. OPus.
