Down to the gmu whien the Russlans ot the upper huandd, thie Bervian Milltinmnen cleeted their ownotlicers, and It wns not one of tho lesst eurious sizhts to see & battallon or company of milltiamen drill- ing under the men of their own cholee. 1L was like n voluntary assoclation of o certain number of men for s common purpose rather than a dilll 1n the military geuse of the word, not only ofil- cers and non-comtnissioned ofticere, but” even the men, making thelr remorks fruufy on thelr superiora and erfticising their orders, It was the personal intluence of ong or another of _the wofficers which kept the whole machine goling, and not any kiea of discipline or any attempt to enforee fuch an fdea, The sudden traneition from this extreme tothe other—of altmost slavieh ohcdience and brutal treatment, aceorting to ftussion natlons—waes too violent not tonvenge ftself, and clready at thetime when the so-valled reorganization of the Burvian forces by Russlun ofticers wus first futroduced, I pointed out that, however advan- tazeous the replacement of uncdtiented Servian offlcers by Russian prolessionals might seem, it was Hkely to du wore harm than good, “Ihis is now the general opinlon in Servlw, where men think that the Servian milltia would have done far better under thefe own unskilled oftleers, wlio nfght huve appealed to e senses of patriotisiu of the men, than under the Russlan oflicers, who did everything to undermine thl feeling, and yet cowid ot drive them under fire. More than ‘this, the unccusation of cowardice brought forward by the Russtans against the Servians has been retaliated by the Intter. To prove thelr case, Bervian officers have colleeted data aud bave sent them In to the Government, specllying cases where the Russians wore the first to turn, sud thus caused the reverses and Joss of positions whivh they attribute to the cowardice of the Servians. "This tu quogue of the Servians, which, in face of the ereat losses sustained by the Ruselang, will not be very ensy to prove, is little likely to altar the opinlun of the wortd on the want of warlike spirit in tho Servians, which as been formed on the testl- mony of ko many fmpartial oye-witueases.

Well, I hardly know where to begin, as I kava spent two months In these States amid the greatest cxeltement siice the War, 1 will commence with Petersburg, Vo, where thiey beld a clty clection just previous to my arrival. This is the manner in which ft was “run,” asI was told by at Jeast half a dozen Democrats: The negro would go to the register; his name per- haps was J. C. Jones; the recording clerk would put it down as simply J. Junes, omitting the C. Bo when Jones came up to vote, no such name asJ, C. Jancs was to be found on the bools, and consequently his vote was refused. This pume was carrfed on to such an extent that the Democrats swept everything, There s o county In South Carolina called Edgzefleld, in which s located the now famous town of Haomburg, The same lies directly op- posite Augusts, Go., the Savannah River form- Ing the dividing line letween the two States. Well, I arrlved In Augusta on the 1st day of November, and left on the evening of the Gth for Charleston, 8. C. During wy stay in Au- gusta the clty wos fearfully alive with red- shirted, hard-looking Carolinians, all well mounted, and every man either carrying a shot~ pgun or navy revolver. Nearly every one of them was drunk, and they made the nights bideous. I heard many Georgia men swear that they should go over into South Caroliua on the 7th aud vate, not ouly once, but a dozen times and it you will take the trouble to examiue into matters you will find they kept thelr'word. Edgefield County gave a Democrat majority of over 4,000, whereas in all prevfons years the ma- iumy s been ut least 1,500 Republican, The Republicans this year cast sbout their usual munber of votes, 80 the result shows that there were more votes cost than there are men, women, ond chlldren in tho county. Please bear {u mind there §s no registration in South Caraling. I arrived in Charleston at 5a. m, on election day, and visited many polling-places during the day. Ifound everyibing perfectly qulet, All lquor saloons were closcd, and at sun-down not n disturbance had been reported.

A conversation with Col.

It was thus that the sttempt to lead na “Elector astray”” began, After g few words I passed on to the hotel office, ghanced over the register, passed the compliments of the day with Sam Turner, walked about the rotunda to'sce II I recognized any out-of-town ncquaint- ances, held a rhort convessation with Mr, J.

The grasshopper mode of getting to perdition was 60 new to me and so odd, that 1 told It last evening nt & tableful of gentlemen at the Chi- cago Club,” stating the cirvumstances which it was used to fllustrate, without susplcion that Col.
