We learn that the Governor has n.<t used
the services of the proper engineer, C..l,»nel
Frobel, the Superintendent of Public \\. rks
to examine and report upon the railroad pre
liminary to the indorsement of boud<, but
that he appointed an engineer in the cmpl.
of the road, whose connection with the road
should have prveliulcd his selection as
State’s agent
It will be observed that at present then
no evidence of the delivery of the Imnds ■>
the legal amount to Kimball, only rf i
preparation and delivery to Govern, r B.f.h
of the entire amount that the road would c
for when completed.
The question arises w hether he h > del

law,or whether he lias them in hand?
the latter, what has he been doing w ith them
since April and May. Is his Califor: i trip
connected with this matter? The >ubject
engenders much six-culation.
The truth is that the Governor is *■ inking

mound him. New evidence of mal-adinmi*-

Whatever may be the alleged imp !: y of
impeachment, the thorough investigation and

an imperative measure of right.

It is not known in what manner he came to
his death, and perhaps the mystery mav
never be cleared up. Peculiar sidness at
taches to this severe domestic affliction, in
the bright promise of the manner and lovea

more than a year ago, been graduated at

Tin* Situation in !*.»iuli Carnliu:i
We confess that we cannot do justice
the subject. In time past the very name of
South Carolina was suggestive of all that
was noble, gencron-, chivairic, hospitahle,
giKul, and great. Now her noble so ; .s and
daughters are ernshei to earth, beneath the
iron heel of a military d« spntism.
It seems to us that, since the war, there
has been the foulest plot ou the part of
Radicals to utterly ruin and desolate
Was it not enough to satisfy the niaiic
cvs*n the imps of darkness, when they
succeeded in ] doc ing her coinpl* teiy under
the domination of ignorant, brutal negroes,
and vile, needy, and seedy adventurers?
No, this was only tSic “beginning of evil”
toher. The j»lot thickens, and it si cuts to
l»e the detcriniiuition ol the Radicals to
drive out from her borders all her respecta
ble citizens, nnd give her up to complete rob
bery and plunder.
The evidence of this intention is complete,

writes to that paper Uforc the recent Procla

When Sherman captured Atlanta, in 1804.
and d< : rutined on his march to the sea, he
divided the unfortunate people of that
doomed city into two classes. One class he
sent N irtJi, the other he drove South, in order
that lie might burn their houses. The Mayor
of Atlanta, with two members of the City
Council, the only members then present, ad
dressed the victorious leader of the United
States Army then surrounding them, tlie fol
lowing eloquent, simple and touching
apt-al:
Sir: The undersigned. Mayor and two
members of Council of the city of Atlanta
for the time being the only legal organ ol
the said city toexpress their want and wishes,
ask leave, most earnestly, but respectfully, to
petition you to reconsider the order requiring
tnem to leave Atlanta.
At lirac view, it struck us that the measure
would involve extraordin ary hardship and
loss, but since we have seen the practical ex
ecution of it, so far as it has progressed, and
the individual condition of many of the peo
ple, and heard their statements as to the in
conveniences, loss and suffering attending it
we art* satisfied that it will involve, in the ag
gn-gnte, consequences appalling and heart
rending.
Many poor women are in an advanced state
of pregnancy, others, now having young
children and wh«»se husbands are either in
the army, prisoners or dead. Some say. I
have such a one sick at home; who w;lf wait
on them when I am gone? Others: What
are we to do? We have no houses to go to,
and no means to buy, build or to rent any;
n*» pnrent>, friends or relatives to go to. An
other says: I will try to take this or that
article «•{ property, but such and such tilings
I must leave In-hind, though I need them
much. We reply to them: Generel Sherman
will carry your property to Rough and Ready,
and General Hood will take it from thereon,
j And they will reply to that: Bm I want to
| leave the railway at such a point, and cannot
j get conveyance bora there ou.
We only refer to a few facts to illustrate,
in part, how this measure will operate in
practice. A? yon advanced, the people north
of us fell back, and before your arrival here,
a large portion of the people had retired
south: so that the country south of this is
already crowded, and without houses to ac
commodate the people; and we art* informed
that many are mm- -.tarring ia churches and
out buildings. Thi- being s*o. how is it possi
ble for the people still here t mostly w omen
and children: to find any shelter? And how-
can they live througu the winter in the woods
—no shelter or sutisistance—in the midst of
stanger- who know them not. and without
the pow»T to assist them, if they are willing
to do ao*
This is but a feebie picture of the con*»e-
tor il3 assure «

Editor* Telegraph and JAx* ngec:
Gentlemen: I confess t*> some annoyance
at the pretended importance given by some
to any view of mv ow n as to the policy of
the State Agricultural Society; and much
more that those views should be made the
occasion of miiii pu*scii;au«»n. Once for all,
then, it is not true that L have expressed my
self opposed to the j Milky of the Society’s
annual Fairs; that i baveV. cn indifferent to
the success of the present Fair; that I have
not co-operated in the c‘V< rt to make it suc
cessful ; that I was opposed to the Fair being
help in Macon this year; that I preferred a
permanent location at AtUata. The whole
is false.
This is true—and orJv this ri true iu the
case, that I gave my whole mind and effort
to make the Society an r.u/. .ikm that
shall embrace in its opcratloos. a:i-l enlist in
its supjn it the whole State without regard to
localities; and that 1 have eoulributcd and
I urged evuy suggestion, os far as l was per
mitted—that would promote the j kit inter
est of the city and Society in the Fair of
1871. I am neither i »r Atlanta or Meon,

We are permitted to make the following
extracts from a letter received by a gentle
man in thi< city, from a gentleman in South
Carolina:
Chester, S. C'., October 24,1871.
The Circuit Court for this county com
menced last Monday week. Judge 'i In>m*.s
told the Grand J Ay they imtjst make dili
gent enqinry in;.-fW tlie acts outlie Ku-Klux
in this county, and thus purge the county
from the slander that President Grant had

The Grand Jury, last Saturday, reported and
relumed the following persons from
western side of the District, as having been
engaged in that business, viz: Dr. \v. M.
McCall urn and son. Garland II. Smith and
son, William Carter, (Sill's son,) Hugh Pc
del-grass, John jClialk and Jerry Walk
Bench warrants were ordered to issue at on
against them and a number from the upper
portion of the county.
John W. Walker, Sheriff, went out in the
Carmel Hill country yesterday, believing that
he could arrest all those in that section, and
baring that they might resist his deputies.
I saw him this morning, and he says that all
of them have kit the country. John Chalk
left some riuic&incc of his own accord, and
is therefore* not to be placed with th;; others.
Charles 1J. Smith, in the Lowry neighbor
hood, came in at onctfnnd gave bond. The
negroes who swoiv to him being one of the
K. K.nre now anxious to renig or backdown
ami uisconduct tends v. ry much to his vindi
cation. Ti-e military have not made «jn}
arrests in Chester, for they are not through
in York.
TIky have between 80 and 100 in the York
jail, and more arc hein*r brought in all t
time; and it is said that more than 200 have
left York county. This stale oi thing
York makes the p.uri* extend to (’lievt-r and
a large number, the greater portion of the
young men on theBioad River side of the
county have left. A few have left the town.
Judge Thomas toi l me last night that he was
willing to wag* r everything he had in the
world that of the eight}' in jail in York they
could not convict more than one in ten.
York and Spartanbuig counties are almost
depopulated by the men, and the poor women
and children are left to the mercy of tl
ignorant and cruel negto.
I learn to-day that in Spartanburg they
have arrested old man Simpson Bobo an

railroad engineers, surveying experimental
lines for their respective roads—Messrs.

Oil Friday last Major Elmore rcconnoi-
tered a line up Talladega creek, nnd was
very favorably impressed with the prospect.
The Atlanta or Georgia Western party made
their survey via Arhacoochee.
If they succeed in getting a line through
the mountain at Burgess’ gap.it would be al
most an air line, failing in this, the advan
tages of a common line from 1 he creek gap
to Talladega and thence to Birmingham
would compensate for tie* increased length
of line. A common track from Talladega to
Birmingham would of i - ii be equal toa
subscription of six hundred thousand dollars
to each road. I * would save to each company
the building of from thirty to thirty-live
miles of road and ha f the expense of a
bridge across the Coosa. Neither road would
have to lengthen its line more than live or
six miles to accomplish this important junc
tion. Of course these matters will :i!i be
looked into and duly considered in locating
the road. The intelligent corps of engineers
will also be very apt to find the m—i prac
tical routes which in our opinion will Ik*

A ( liiId's Uremia.
BY CIIARLKS DICKENS.
There was once a child, and he strolled
about a good deal, and thought of u number
of things. He had a sister, who was a child,
too, and his constant companion. These two
used to wonder all dav long. They v
dcred at the beauty of flowers; they v
tiered ai the goodness and power of God,
who made the lovely world.
They used to say to one another some
times: “Supposing all the children on the
earth were: to die, would the flowers, and the
water, and tiie sky Ik: sorry ?” They be
lieved they would Ik: sorry. “For,” said
they, “the buds arc the children of the flow
ers,'and the playful little streams that gam
bol down the hillsides are the children of
waters; and the smallest bright specks play
ing at hide and seek in the sky all night
must surely be the children of the stars:
and they would be grieved to see their play
mates, the children of men, no more.”
There was a star that used to coine on the
sky before the rest, near the church spire,
above the graves. It was larger and more*
iKMiitiful they thought than all the others,
and every night they watched for it, standing
hand in hand by the window; whoever saw
it first cried out:
“1 see the star 7 ”
And oft. ii they cried out together, know
ing so well when it would rise and where.
So they grew to be such frit nds with it that
before lying down in their lied* they looked
out once again to hid it good night; and when
they were turning around to sleep, they
satd—
“God bless that star J”
But while she was still very young, oh,
very young, the sister drooped, and came to
be so weak that sue could no longer stand
the window at nig-.it, and then the child look
ed sadly by himself, and when he saw the
star, turned round to the patient, pale face
on the bed, “I see the star 7” and then a smile
would come upon her face, and the weak
little voice used to say:
“God bless my brother and the star 7”
And so the time came all too soon, when
there was no face on the bed; and thi re was a
little grave among the graves not there be
fore and when the star made long rays to
wards him who saw it tiirougli his tears.
Now, these rays were so bright, and they
seemed to make such a beautiful wav from
earth to heaven, that when the child went to
his solitary bed, he dreamed of the star: and
dreamed that lying where he wag, he saw a
train of people taken up the shining road by
angel*. And the star ojiening, showed him a
great world of light, where many more such
angels waited to receive them.
All the angels who were waiting turned
their beaming eyes upon the people v, he were
carried up into the star; and soon came out
from the long rows in which they stood, and
fell upon the people’s necks and kissed them
tenderly, and went away with them down
avenue* of light, and were so happy iu their
company, that lying in bed he wept for joy.
His sister’s angel lingered near the entrance
of the star, and said to the leader among
those who bad]brought the people thither:—
“ Has my brother come ?”
She was turning hopefully away, when the
child stretched out his arms, and said—“O,
sister, 1 am here! take me*” and then she
turned her beaming eyes upon him, and then
it was night, and the star was shining into
his room, making rays down toward him as
he saw them through his tears.
From that moment the child looked out
upon the star us one of the homes he was to
go to, when the time should come, and he
it ought he did not belong to earth alone, but
to the star, too, because cf his sister’s angel
gone before.
There was a baby l*orn to be a brother of
the child: and while he was yet so little that
he had never spoken a word he stretchbd his
tiny form out upon the bed, and died.
Again the child dreamed of the open star,
and the company of angels, and the train of
people’s faces.
Said hi* sister's angel to the leader:
“Has my brother come?”
And he said;
“Not that one. but another.”
As the child beheld his brother’s angel in
her arms, he cried:
“O s ster, I am here! take me!”
And she turned and smiled upon him, and
the star was shining,

students of i morv College to Dr. Means, on
the occasion of his retiring from the presi

by him. He makes the follow ing announce
ment to the pickpocket*:
If the person who has possession of a

Means, D. D., by the student* of t mory
