LETTER from CHARLESTON.

CHARLESTON, S. G., August II, 1870.
Z at the head Of his essays Montague wrote,
'Thls is an honest book" Newspaper wris
ters have not q reputation for the same rule
OF strictncss, and hard, indeed, is tho task of
that Charleston correspondent who, at this
season, would be governed by it, for if not
allowed to manufacture one scarcely knows
where to find material for u letter. Your
reporter, however, feels constrained to write
the motto on his banner, seeing that "an
honest mans tho noblcst work of 0od,", and
will seek not to enter tho field of fiction.
Tho city is almost devoid of nows. Every.
body is hot; everybody wishes he could cmi

The Tennessee Election.

An election was held in Tennessee on tho 9Th
instant. to settle tho public debt of that State
Vbe proposition was to reduce the debt fifty
per cent. nnd mako tho interest four per cent
very light voto was cast, md it is stated
that both propositions wcro voted down.
This is to be regretted; and was caused, il is
stated, by union of tho votes of reputation.
ists aad those who thought tho debt should
DO paid in full. Tho public debt is $24, $780,
ll5. No interest has been paid for several
years.

CHiCAGd. August OH answer to tclc-
graphic requcy, Of the Dttily N,ms of this
city, 4. D. I.Nngstah, President Of tho How
ard Association at Memphis has sent tclc-
gram giving the particulars Of ,hc condition
OF thar city, containing the following points:
The total number Of eases Of yellow fever to
this hour within tic city limits, officially rc-
corded, i 33O. Or this numbcr 50 have died.
In addition there have been about 90 eases
and deaths Of Memphis refugees located
within six miles OF thc city. The disease has
not communicated tA, any ono of tho sur.
rounding towns on account Of tho rigid quar-.
antinc. The fever has increased in Memphis
very pcrccnubly in the past ten days, ard is
spreading from its original centre. We cans
not hope for discon,inuancc until frost.
At least $4,000 persons haze left, Of whom
l2o00 are located in camps Father Matthew
ana MARKS situated four and seven miles
respectively from Memphis. There have
been three cases in camp Marks and one
death. At least 10000 negroes arc in the
city, only ono hundred having gone to tho
camps. They have declined to leave tho
city, hoping to receive rntionS here, which il
in opposition to tho views of all parties who
arc aborinG here to attend to such as may bo
taken sick. Our only safety Is depopulation
In consequence Of tue ioycr spreading among
the negroes in the past five days there is n
growing disposition to 60 to the camps. If
their appeal to the people of tho United
States for ra,ions should not meet with a
favorable answer tho negroes will no doubt
move as soon az they get hungry. No ono
but Howard visitor or physician knows of
the filthy novels that these people live in, and
in which they arc takcn sick and so frequently
die.
We have six physicians on duty, and have
had under our charge four hundred and ftty
patients sick with various diseases. 10 these
sick people wo iurliisl, nurses medicines,
stimnlants and food. About two hundred
have been discharged Our expenses arc now
5000 per day, and will probably increase.
| Wo have on hand $4,000 This amount
wonld have been sufficient if the negrucs had
followed the example of The white pcoplo and
let the city. We hopo not to be forced to ask
assistance, but fear this non-ncion Of tho
.ncGrocs will compel us to do 80. Tho sani,
tary condition Of the city Is excellent.

One Case Wherein IL Did Run smooth.
aOh yes. said Phoebe Ann; ssthat
is what thought
She looked back over her shoulder as
she spoke and then trotted on with
water-pail i'm her hand and pink calico
"log-cabin = on her head, down along
the worn foot-path, where blue as'ers
nodded to stately shafts Of golden-rod
that seemed to dip with sunshine, and
where crickets made merry among the
clover leaves and fringed ecntinn-
Overhead the poplar leaves stirred
and rlstled to each other, though all the
other trees were still. Something was
going on in the air that none but they
knew about. None, unless il might be
Phoebe Ann. Little enough went on
above or below that she didn't know OF
or At least guess n.
= Yes, this il what thought and what
expected and what | said she re-
pcated, As she stopped to ill her pail At
the spring.
Il never made any difference 10
Phwhe Ann whether she had listener
any more than II did TO the poplar leaves,
for she was always sure of one sensible
nearer.
However. when she came back with
the pail dripping and spiiling on the
knot grass and 11lantain leaves all Tie
way, She found Eugene Mosscroft sitting
on the hcn-coop shaping spoon out 81
a slender stick Of lockwood
'Swhat | said, remarked Phoebe
Ann, nodding Hospitality when she saw
him.
Ten years before there was no such
boy Is Eugene Mosscrof, for all
he looked a. though he had been in the
world always and always would be.
looking lust 30 out Of his cat-shaped
eyes. But here he was now fast enough,
come 10 live with his aunt, Mr.. Pru-
dence Mosscroft, in low, Qnaker-col-
orcd cottage behind the Westinghouse.
Mrs. Mosscroft was small woman
wiih a slender nose, and bunch If
silver-gray curls on each side Of h1r
face that looked ike clusters Of Malaga
grapes. She ought, herself, to have
been born Quaker, but her mother
didn't know IL, 50 she was born Meth
odist She had had hL-hand and
many children, but they had long been
lyingin green row il the graveyard
on the hill and she had lived alone with
Quaker-colored cat, flock Of Quak-
'cr-colored hens and some Quakcr-col-
ored knitting-work till Eugene came 70
live with her. And Eugene came and
went 50 softly that he added not much
more 70 the noise OF the house than the
tick Of the old eight-day clock and the
purring Of the old cat.
And now here be was sitting on
Phmbc AIMS hen-cOop, looking AZ
much at home and in his place a.
though he grew there, like the lichens
and moss on The great rock by the
spring.
4" Said what2r said he, nodding back
10 Phoebe without looking mp from his
work.
Suid! Why, said that sooner Oh
later we should have PERKINS, girls On
our hands, whether or no. Tell me :
Well, knew all the time, as well a. I
know now, that in the end Perrin would 4
