THE ELECTION.—We go to press on Tues
day, not feeling inclined to wait for the re
turns promised us by the Lincoln party. The
only stumbling block in the way of Lincoln's
election is New York—if the fusion carries in
that State, Lincoln will be defeated, and the
choice of a President will go to the House,
and perhaps to the Senate.
A MODERN PROPHET. —Jacob Greenwood,
79 years of age, writes from Starkville,
that he has for three years possessed the ken
of prophecy, and that the areatia. of coming
events are freely and unreservedly presented
to his mind. His pretensions.will, of course,
excite ridicule, but in attestation of their
truth, he says he predicted the recent affair
at Truxillo, the fires in Texas, and the polit
ical fusion in New York ; and now he is wil
ling to stake the reputation of his profession
upon the prediction that the fusion ticket of
New York will carry the largest vote in the
coming election, and Gen. Garibaldi will not
survive the first of January, 1861.
THE PLEDGE OF THE SOUTU. CAROLINA MIN
UTE MEN.-A letter from Columbia, S. C.,
gives the following as the pledge of the Min
ute Men organized there :
We, the undersigned, citizens of South Car
olina, in view of the impending crisis neces
sarily incident upon the election of a flack
Republican to the Presidency of these United
States, and in view of our duties to our sec
tion, ourselves and our best interests, which
must fall in the event ef the triumph of North
ern fanaticism, hereby form ourselves into
an association, under the
_name and style of
the Minute Men, and •do further solemnly
honor, to sustain Southern constitutional
equality in the Union, or, failing in that, to
establish our independence out of it. The
members are required to wear a blue cockade
on the- left side of the hat, and procure a
Colt's revolver, a rifle, or other approved fire
arms. A public demonstration is to be made
on Friday night, 19th ; and, if any one may
judge -from the blue cockades seen on the
streets, the demonstration will be an impor
tant one, not only in numbers but in the
character of 'the men composing it in public
procession: The members are required to
carry a lantern, - flambeau, or other demon
strative implement appropriate to the occa
sion.
IlExpLosloN.—ln the family school
of David Parke, Esq., of Parksburg, Chostcr
county, taught by Miss Alice R. Iletchkin,
an ink bottle, pint size, about two-thirds full,
was placed for safe keeping in the oven of a
ten plate stove. A few days ago, a fire was
lighted in the stove, the teacher having for
gotten the bottle there. The consequence
was a rousing explosion, so violent as to break
the stove in several places, and throw the fire
upon the floor, at the same time scattering
the ink over the walls and ceilinc , so profuse
ly as to leave scarcely a square foot that was
not more or less spotted. The teacher' and
scholars escaped unhurt, yet far enough from
unscared, and with their faces in a plight
which might have charmed Christy or San
ford, but which happily yielded without re
bellion to the virtue of soap and water. On
the whole it was a philosophical experiment
of rare interest, and one which the worthy,
young lady doubtless availed herself in the,•
next lesson of the class in that science. It
is, however, too choice a one to be repeated
often,—Harrisburg Telegeaph.
Ear' A cave has been discovered in Alac
hua county, Florida, which is described as
larger than the mammoth cave of Kentucky,
and as having an ancient Latin inscription
on the walls, which• states that a party of
Danes had visited this cave in the year 1050,-
and that a priest who accompanied them had .
left this memorial of their visit. The name
of this priest was Marcus Poleus. It- is also
stated that these bold navigators had embark
ed on a voyage of exploration; and'h'ad•been
driven far south ; also that they had visited
many islands; and finally had landed in a
thickly-populated country; where the people
had received them kindly thinking them su
perior beings ; that several, of their number,
tov t? ether with some Greek artisans and two
priests, had been left there as a colony. Is
this a relic of the party that the'Mexicans say
visited them 400 years before Cortez landed, -
and:taught them the arts of civilized life, or
is It a humbug?
THE VINTAGE IN THE . VY .EST.—I.t appears
from all accounts that the yield of tile west
ern 'vineyards this season will be very great,
A. late lowa paper says;
The Vintage of this year will be extraordi
narily' riali. Froth every side we hear the
most encouraging news, the most wonderful
from Nauvoo , 111., where the yield borders=
the fabulous. And yet in spite of this im
mense 'quantity of grapes the price of them
has not fallen below ten cents per pound:—
At this rate the price of wine cannot fall.

ATTACIT'T EXECUTIONS,
EXECUTIONS,
What Constitutes a " Good" Editor
The editor of the Alexandria Gazette gives
expression to a trueism that should be' read
and pondered over by his brethren of every
locality. Notwithstanding that the great
bulk of the Press of the• Union is conducted
with a degree of tact and alAlity that is really
remarkable, yet too many are managed on
the " verbose" principle ; and, fur the special
benefit of those whom the " shoe pinches,"
we reprint his Franklin like hints in the
most conspicuous column of the present
=
" Many peGole estimate the ability of a
newspaper and the industry and talents of
its editor by the quantity.of editorial matter
which it contains. It,is comparatively an
easy task for a frothy writer' to pour out
daily columns of words -words, upon any
and all subjects. His ideas may flow in 'one,
weak, Washy, everlasting, flood,' and his com
mand of language may enable- him to string
them together like bunches of onions, and;
yet his paper may be a meagre and poor con
cern. But what is the labor and toil of such
a man, who displays his leaded matter' never
so largely, to that imposed on the judicious,
well-informed editor, Who exercises his voca
tion with an hourly consciousness of respon
sibilities and devotes himself to the conduct
of his paper with the same care and assiduity
that a sensible lawyer bestows on a suit, or
a humane physician upon a patient, without
regard to show or display ? Indeed, the
mere writing part of editing a paper is but a
small portion of the work. The care.is in the
time employed in selecting far more impor
tant matter, and the fact of a good editor is
better shown by his selections than anything
else, and that we know is half the battle.—
But, as we have said, an editor ought to "be
estimated, and his labors understood and ap-
preciated, by the general conduct of his pa
per—its tone—its temper—its uniform, con
sistent course—its principles—its aims—its
manliness—its dignity—its propriety. To
preserve these as they should be preserved is
enough to occupy fully the time and atten
tion of any man. If to this be added the
general supervision of the newspaper estab-.
lishment, which most, editors have to.encoun
ter, the wonder is how they can find time or
room to write at all."
Parson Brownlow on "Yancey
Parson Brownlow, in his paper, the Knox
ville Whig says :
The fact that W. L. Yancey killed his
uncle, Dr. Earle of 'South Carolina, has been
stated in general terms, but the details have
not been given. Dr. Earle lived one mile
and a half west of Greenville, where his wid
ow still resides, if alive. A few hundred
yards distant is an old field, sometimes used
for practising on horseback, but more fre
quently resorted to as a muster ground. This
was the occasion of a drill mu: ter, when Dr.
Earle's son, about ten years old went to the
ground, as all boys seek to do ; and' during
their wheeling and turning, the boy got in
the way. Yancey ordered him to get out of
the way, but the :boy, iu his confusion, got
more and more in the . way, whereupon Yancey
lashed him most Unmercifully with a horse
whip. Dr. Earle tso not at home ; but on
1174FaiRgotlaffylinalii-rh
ance3r had ,treated his son.
Yancey told him that the boy had been very
insolent and that he`had - slapped his jaws.--
Dr. Earle replied that he had served him
right. When Dr. 'Earle reached home and
learned the facts, and found that Yancey had
lied to him, he're turned to Greenville in search
of him. Yancey, knowing the pluck of
Dr. Earle, and that he would be detected in
the falsehood, prepared himself for a - fight.—
Dr. Earle fund Yancey on Dr. Crittenden's
pordh, and in marching
upon - him was shot
down by Yancey witha pistol. These are
the facts_as we have them from one born and
reared in that vicinity. The fact that he was
convicted upon tria", and imprisoned, and af
terwards became tlie:tubject of Executive cle
mency, corroborates the truth of this version,"
REPUBLICAN MASS . MEETING
- IN BALTIMORE
--WIDE-AWAKE PARAIE—DISTURBANCES AND_
ROWDYISM ALONG TUE ROUTE.—The Balti
more Sun of Friday - says : Notices appeared
in the public prints, yesterday, that a mass
meeting of the friends of Lincoln and Ham
lin would be held'htst ; evening, at the Front
street Theatre, to ',he:preceded by the unpre
cedented feature of - a Procession of a ",Wide-
Awake" association through the streets of
Baltimore. Some indignation, accompanied
with threats, were expressed during yester
day, and the con#Pittee of arrangements
thought it advisable 'to-secure the
. protection
of the
. police authorities. Accordingly,, one
hundred of the day pOliee, (twenty-five from
each district, under,their respective captains,)
were detailed for special duty. et 7 o'clock
last evening, in Holliday street, opposite the .
theatre, whre the " Wide-Awakes," to the
number of about two hundred and fifty, form
ed for their march to the Front-street Thea
tre. They wore the uniform of their North
ern prototypes-- : green capes, lead-colored
hats with red bands, and carrying the com
mon trident torch, and some goblet-looking
lamps and a banner. •
A crowd of at least five times their num
bers collected around the " Wide-Awakes,"
who were .subjectedlo - the most degrading
epithets, hisses and 'groans. Cheers for all
the Opposition candidates Were proposed and
given in turn, 'and the attempt to raise a
cheer for Lincoln was instantly drowned by
indignant bursts of hisses and groans. - The
line formed hastily, and headed by a band of
music playing " c Tray, ll marched
through Holliday street to Baltimore street.-
As the line turned into Baltimore street it
was saluted by.a storm of groans and hisses,
but was urged forward by the marshals, pro
tected by the police, Who formed the files ()n
either side, and acted asa body-guard. - The
same species of anpoyancewas kept up through
out the route, wbiCh was through Baltimore
street to Eutaw, to Pratt, to Charles, to Lom
bard, to ugh, to Pratt, to Bond, to Montt:-
meat, to Gay, to Pront-street.Theatre.
At the corner . ; of Lombard and Charles
streets some brieits were thrown into the pro
cession, and. several of, the spectators were
struck by. them. One or, two
,lamps were
sni3shed here, and as many arrests made.—
The march to the theatre IWFI4 literally a forced
one, and made in, the face of.rnuch insult-and
annoyance. At the theatre another rush 'was
made upon the,,precession as the members
were entering the doors, and a number of ar
rests were made _of parties detected in . the act
of throwiag bricks and other missiles into the
procession.
The whole meeting was one. of the greatest
confusion, cheers.and hisses being the order
of the night. About ten •o'clock there was
an adjournment. - There was a strong body
of police on hand at the theatre during the
night.
CO.RRESPOND.ENCE OF TEE GLOBE.
WARREN -Co., ILL., Oct. 23d, 1860.
DEAR. GLOBE :—Believing that news from
the Sucker State may have some little intek
est to those who live East,,,l will pen you a
few lines these political times when all , you
hear is the shout of every passer-by; halloo
ing and huzzaing for his favorite candidate,
now Douglas, now Lincoln and once in a long
while Bell and Everett ; poor Breckinridge is
not named at all hereabouts. I only know
of six Breckinridge men In this county and
they all live in Monmouth.
We have beautiful weather and have bad
no rain for almost three weeks, the dust in
the roads is nearly as bad as in summer.—
Many have already began to take in their
corn, mine will average about sixty-five bush
els per acre, - whilst others' *ill yield 80 and
very few less than fifty, if any. Wheat is
not as high as. some time ago, it is 70 cents
per bushel in Monmouth, - and 75 in Keiths
burg. 'Potatoes were excellent, few had less
than 200 bushel to the acre and some 300 and
some yielded much more, they are only 12
cents per bushel now. The crops in Missouri,
I hear, especially North Eastern Missouri, was
almost a failure. Corn and almost everything
nearly dried up with excessive drought. One
of my brothers living in Chariton county pro
cured seed-wheat from here last spring and
on account of the dry season it failed, and he
did not cut it at harvest. The molasses mak
ing business here is now over. We made on
one wooden mill and two pans about 300 gal
lons of excellent syrup, equal to sugar house
molasses,' if not better. The African cane*
makes rather better molasses than the Chi-.
nese does.
I fear. I have written .mire than you will
publish, if so put it in the stove, after the
election I may write again. Yours,
. F. T. PORTER.

PERILOUS ADVENTURE WITH AN EAGLE.—
The Stockton (California) Argus relates the.
following:
" We noticed a few days since a young ea
gle was brought to the city and offered for
sale. He was a fine looking bird, about three
months old, measuring seven feet eight in
ches from tip to tip. He was sold into cap
tivity on account of had conduct. He was to-'
ken from the nest some three months since
by Mr.•Hascornb,- who resides about fourteen
miles from the city. He was then quite young
being covered with down. As he increased
in size, he was sufficiently tame to be hand
led, and come when called, and he was al;
lowed the liberty of coming and going at his
own choice, which he availed himself of by
often soaring out of sight, and
,being gone sev
eral hours at a time. Lately, however, hav
ing been plagued by the men on the range,
he become fierce, and clubs at times were
resorted to keep him at a distance.
- "-A lad aged thirteen years called the ea
gle from a tree, holding up a piece of meat.
The bird descended with such swiftness'that
he frightened the boy, who dropped the meat,
when the eagle made fight at him. The
youngster started and fell. The bird hover
ed over him, clutched at,him.with his talons,
but appeared afraid to sieze him on account
of the boy kicking his feet incessantly at him.
Mr. Ilanscomb, hearing the noise, rushed, to
the rescue, and siezed the eagle by the tip of
the wing, and commenced whirling it about,
ut cacti revOlutiOti, - the head of the
bird against a tree, until he partially stunned
him, when the boy caught hold of the other
wing, and keepinc , b the wings extended, was
safe from the attacks of 'the bird. A third
person was then, called to their assistance,
who threw' a noose over the eagle's head,•and
then succeeded in tying his legs, making him
safely a prisoner. Mr. Hascomb thinks the
boy would liave been overpowered by the eagle
had he not come to the rescue in time, and he
sincerely wished himself and boy out of the
affray while making so many unsuccessful at
tempts to stun the bird against a tree."
ARRIVAL OF TIIE HIPPOPOTAIIiTS.—Aniong
the notable arrivals, says the N. Y. Tribune,
of the 23d ult., from Euiope was a living
hippopotamus, which was brought to this port
on Saturday; by the steamer City of Man
chester. The beast endured the voyage with
becoming fortitude, and landed on our shores
as well, if not better, than he was in England.
He was cordially received by the throngs of
knowing ones who had anticipated his com
ing and was' immediately transferred on
hoard the steamer De Soto - , which sailed yes
terday afternoon for New Orleans. The rea
son for leaving so soon was the fear that the
approaching winter • might prove too much
for him, as, it is said, he is extremely, sensi
tive to changes of temperature. His looks
betoken that at a glance.
But on this creature hangs a tale. A little
more than two years ago he fell in with an.
English exploring party, - as be was stalking
about the sources of the Nile, and by dint of
persuasion on their . part he was induced to
visit the Royal Zoological garden, at London.
At this time he was in very early youth, and
in size was no larger than a full-grown New
foundland dog. His new acquaintances
christened him Bucheet, or "Fortunato,"
allusion to the fact that his mother did - not
knoW that he was out, and so left him to the•
disposal of any passer-by. To his special at
tendant, an Arab nained Salaama, he is very
docile and obedient. He has never left his
new residence until now.
In appearance
. this beast is decidedly
unique. His head displays a pleasant simi
larity.to that of a bull dog, which is connec
ted with an excee s dingly uncouth looking body,
by means of a very large neck. His legs are
something after the style of an elephant, but
shorter and thicker ; they have not however,
the same grace of movement, nor do the feet
seem to possess the same exquiSite sense of
touch. The fabulous tales of the roughness
and thickness of the hide of the hippopota
mus are fully verified by an inspection of the
specimen which is now on his way to the Cres
cent City. Tough as an ox bide, of the 'color
of vulcanized gutty purcha, his skin flaps
about - his body in lbose folds, and apparently
very thick. Ills voice-if the strange noises*
he makes may claim-so dignified a name—
sounds' harshly enough : it is a sort of a mix
tare of a growl and a grunt, each element
predominant at times.
A SNAKE rig - , A LETTER.-A' negro in Chica
go astonished the post -office loungers a few
days ago with a series of most agonizing
shrieks and screams. She had just received
a small ;package froth Marion, and on open
ing.it a green adder was revealed .to her as
tonished gaze. The hyStanders soon dispatch
ed the reptile, and the woman showed them
a letter 'which her husband had written, urg
ing her to "kiss this dear little pet for me,
and take it, and sleep with it for God's sake."
He also informed her that he was going to
get a bill of divorce as soon as possible.—
Jealousy was of course the origin of this do
mestic escapade.
II Magnificent Swindler
The Eastern Express of the .30th ult., de
tails the modus operandi by which certain
parties were taken in and, done for, which is
both new and novel. It soya that on the I.Bth
of August last, "F. Smith and lady," as the.
register at the United States Hotel tells us,
came to town and took rooms at '.the hotel
named. Mr. Smith was about forty-years of
age, of very genteel address and appearance,
while his wife was comely, and apparently
very respectable. Mr. and Mrs.• Smith brought
with them two children, and the party to
gether formed a family group by no means
uninteresting. They came "from the South," -
ati the father and'mother informed inquirers,
and Mr. Smith had some idea, could he find
a suitable stand, of opening a large shoe and
leather establishment in town. The gentle
man bad plenty of money and paid his bills
promptly. One day, some time after his ar
rival, Mr. Smith paid a visit to Mr. Adam
Ehret, farmer in Lehigh township, this coun
ty, and purchased some land from him. En
tering very familiarly into conversation with'
Mr. Ehret, he managed to find out his cir
cumstances, as well as to learn how he - spelled
his name and what was the style of his Writ;
ing, after which he left, leaving behind him
in the bosom of the farmer rie suspicions of
his. honesty.
With the information he had gained by
his call on the farmer, he started for Easton,
where he employed a lawyer to draw up a
mortgage for $3,500, on the propert y of Adam
Ehret. He then took the writing, forged the
signature of Mr. Ehret and added it to it, had ,
th mortgage aCknowledged before. Ebenezer
Ilance, a Bucks county Justice of the Peace,
and then entered it at the Recorder's office,
in town; after which he proceeded to New
ark, N. J., and made an assignment of the
mortgage to Messrs. J. S. Blauvel, Ebenezer C.
and E. C. Aber, of that city, for $2,80,0 worth
of shoes and leather. Smith took the mort
gage to the Recorder's office on the 19th of
September, assigned it on the 22d, and the
assignment was entered at the office on the
24th by the above named Newark gentlemen,
one or more of whom, came here accompanied
by a lawyer, to see that all was right in re
gard to the matter. The leather dealers
were satisfied with their bargain after exam
ining at the Recorder's office ; no suspicion
whatever rested on the mind of the Recorder,
nor any one else who knew of the transactions,
and so Mr. Smith slipped away with hib stock
of goods. -
In the early part of October, Smith wrote
from Harrisburg to the firm that he had got
his. stock of shoes and leather off, stating that
he had not been able to get the store in that
place that he expected, and that lie had now
determined to push on to New Orleans and
open there. This excited suspicion in the
_Newarkers, who, on coming on here and vis
iting Mr. Ehret, in Lehigh township, discov
ered that the signature on the mortgage they
had received from Smith was forged, and
that they had been very.nicely swindled by
that scamp ; the papers they held not being
worth a red cent. Smith's letter to Newark,
to inform the Messrs. Blauvel, Aber & Co.,
that he was going to New Orleans was, of
course, a mere ruse, for the purpose of throw
ing those gentlemen off the track of the swin
dler.
Smith sold some of his leather in town, and
before this he has doubtless disposod of the
whole stock, and is now enjoying the fruits
of his 'infamous labor. The Messrs. Aber &
Co. are in pursuit of him, we believe, and it
is to he hoped they may bring him to justice.

DRANK VITRIOL.—We learn from the Phil
adelphia Daily Bulletin, that at a factory in
Chester county, Pa., a little son of Ebenezgr
Speakman, aged eight years, who had fre
quently brought water in the pitcher, went to
it to drink, and before noticed by the work
men- or detected by his own taste, drank a
gill or more of sulphuric Acid, (oil of vitriol,)
which had been placed in the pitcher to be
used in some part of the business. The boy
ran to the house immediately, and medical
aid was summoned. The physician had
scarcely a hope of saving the child, under
such adverse circumstances; but the stomach
was first filled with water and then emptied
by means of the stomach pump. Common
magnesia was administered, which combines
with the acid and forms Epsom salts. The
patient was in terrible distress, and continu
ed to vomit large quantities of blood and mu
cus for several days. At .first the blood flow=
ed from the stomach almost as freely as from
the opening of a large blood vessel in the
arm. The strangest part of this sad story is,
that the child, although in a very precarious
situation, is likely to recover. It is one of
the most remarkable cases on record. A
portion of the acid which was spilled on his
clothes, eat through them to the skin. -
KENTUCKY AND TUE UNlON.—Prentice of
the Louisville Journal, says : Mr. Yancey, at
Springfield lastweek, said bewail tedKen tucky
to sympathize with the seceding Southern
States. Why should the noble State of Shel
by, Clay, Crittenden, Letcher and Moorehead
sympathize with treachery ? What can Ken
tuckians gain by leaving the Union ? Can
the cotton States protect their slave property
any better than the authority of the thirty
three United States can ? When we have the
right kind of Presidents to enforce the laws,
we shall have no difficulty in executing the
fugitive slave law. Millard Fillmore acted
firmly in the Burns case at Boston, showed
his fidelity to the South, and as his reward
he was denounced throughout the South four
years since as an Abolitionist, and received
the vote of Maryland alone for the Presidency.
What can Kentucky gain by disunion ?
Will it preserve the present price of its slave
property ? Will it reduce its quota of taxa
tion ? Or will it not rather ruin all the slave
owners by, the depreciation of their property,
and will it not add most materialy to the bur
den of taxes ? Most assuredly. If Kentucky
could demoralize herself by listening to 'the
pleadings of the Secessionists,. her own inter
ests would restrain her from taking any steps
toward the contemplated treason.
-Er' The Choctaw Nation seems to be a mo
del-community. All lands, it is said, are held
in common, and each Indian, of those connec
ted with him by affinity or consanguinity, set
tles down, and no one is allowed to come near
er than a quarter of a mile of this enclosure ;
and that is his. claim, and he is protected in
his. Possessions by the laws of the Nation, as
though:it were his in fee simple. Merchants,
mechanics, professional men, machinists, &c.,
are allowed to live there by permit from the
Council, but no one is allowed to produce any
thing more than is necessary for the use of
himself and his family outside of his trade or
profession. Not adrop of spirituous liquors is
to be given away, or transported- through the

poured out, and if found in any wagon,. water

Horrible Affair in Missouri
TEN MEN ARRESTED FOR 'MURDER
The St. Louis Yews says The most beast
ly murder we have ever been called upon to
record was committed near Chambersburg. in
this county, on the night of the 7th ult. The
full particulars of the vile affair have not
been developed ; but so much of them as we
have been able to gather are about as follows ;
Whiteford, the murdered man, owned a farm
near Chambersburg-he lives in Canada—
and is a man, we learn, of considerable prop
erty. He was out last fall to settle his affairs
here; and, it is alleged by those birds now
in custody on charge of the murder, that
Whiteford stole a horse from one of the par
ty on leaving for home in Canada, last fall.
But this has not . yet been substantiated, and
it is thought that there is no ground on which
it can . be confirmed. Some little confusion
was created about the alleged charge at the
time, but soon died away. A few weeks ago,
Whiteford again visited his farm. He was
immediately taken in charge by the clique in
question, without a warrant, to answer for
horse stealing. A warrant was finally issu
ed, and one John Beard—the man from
whom it is supposed the horse was stolen—
bad himself appointed deputy constable, and
took Whiteford in hand to await a trial on
the Monday following. This was on Satur
day, the sth instant.
It is reported that the man was hung and
beaten in the most beastly manner on Satur
day night, for the purpose of making him ac
knowledge that he committed the offence with
which he was charged. Finally, on Sunday
night following, be was brutally murdered—
apparently having been beaten to death with
clubs. The next morning, when the citizens
gathered in for the trial, it was announced,
by those who had him in charge, that White
ford had made good his escape, and that a
number of the party were in pursuit of him.
The search was extended for a time with
seeming indifference, and the confused state
ments of the affair directly created suspicion,
and ten of the party were forthwith arrested
and taken to Athens and put under guard for
further inquiry. The people then instituted
a search for Whiteford, who, they were al
most assured, was murdered, and late last
Monday the body was found buried about
two feet under ground, with some brush care
lessly thrown over the place, near the resi
dence of the said John Beard who had him
in charge. On the recovery of the body, the
ten men above mentioned were put in chains,
and are now undergoing trial. It is current
ly reported by some that Whiteford was kill
ed for his money, and that the charge of
horse-stealing was only raised by those vile
desperadoes to get-him into their hands.
A. PANIC IN TUE KINGDOM OF SOUTYI CARO
LINA-REPORTED DISCOVERY OF ARMS.-TllO
community of Marlborough, S. C., is in a
state of profound agitation in consequence of
a horrible discovery, which the Columbia
South Carolinian reports as follows :
We learn that startling developments have
been made in Marlborough, and the whole
community thrown into a state of great ex
citement. Two citizens of Western New
York have been arrested, who had under
their care a large stand of arms. They were
searched, and invoices found calling for an
other lot, amounting in all, as we arc informed
to about twelve hundred. The arms were
consigned to parties in Wilmington, to which
place a gentleman had been sent to make in
vestigations, and to secure others who may
be implicated. Their complicity and direct
agency, were so thoroughly established, that
they were committed to jai'. The feeling
was so intense that,it was with great difficulty
that their violent seizure and immediate exe
cution could be prevented. Judge Whitner,
who was holding
,court there, interposed, and
finally succeeded in staying the feeling" and
reserving them as victims for more legal pro
cedure. The public mind of the North has
been so wrought up by the declamation of
Republican 'orators, that these missionaries of
social subversion may doubtless be found in
every Southern community. Whenever ar
rested, they should not be left to the slow
process of law. The vigilant societies should
•seize them, give them a fair trial, and, if the
circumstances convict them of complicity in
designs of such atrocity, should mete out to
them punishment, prompt, summary and ex-
treme.
HEART-RENDING ACCIDENT AT NORFOLK. --.-
A most deplorable accident happened 'Wed
nesday evening by the careless handling of a
self-cocking pistol, bringing the deepest grief
upon a worthy family, and exciting profound
sympathy in the community. The Argus
says :
A son of Mr. Jesse T. Ewell, coachsMith,
residing on Plume's court near the Blue's
Armory had the pistol with which he and
other_ boys had been playing. Mr. E. took
the weapon,
saying to his son that he would
show , him how to use it ; then cocking. it,
without knowing that . it was loaded and his
finger touching the trigger it was discharged ;
and sad to state two balls took effect in the
side of his little daughter (Laura) one of them
passing through the heart and killing her al
most instantly. She just bad time to utter
the words : " 0 pa, you have killed me !"
Then fell in the agonies of death; and after a
few convulsive struggles, the spirit fled.
The child thus suddenly hurled into-eter
nity, was about eight years old, and was at
the time of the accident sitting in the door
way, with an open book in her lap, studying
her lesson for recitation at school to-day.
The shocking affair caused agony . of mind .
bordering on derangement on the part of the
unfortunate father, who, seizing aknife made
a desperate attempt to take his own life, id
which he was, however, prevented by persons
who happened to be near at the time.
NEGRO VOTERS IN OHIG.—The Georgetown
(Brown county) Argus says that a negro of
that place, fearing that public sentiment ;
would not allow him to vote at the polls there;'
started off for Ripley on the morning of the
election, where he knew hiS abolition friends
would allow him to vote, and he returned in
the evening, boasting that ho'had voted, to
gether with twenty-one other mulattoes ! Mr.
Lewis Friendly one of the judges of the elec-,
tion at Ripley, said he •saw-some ten mulct
oes vote-there, and be objected to their
but was overruled by the other two judges:
It should be remembered that the Oonsti'-'
tution of the State of Ohio restricts the right
of suffrage to white citizens of the United
States, and that every negro . vote is a plain
violation of. the law. We: think it probable
that more negroes voted in Ohio for Judge
Brinkerhoff than ho has a . majority over"
Smith. We'hear more or less of their voting
in almost every poll. White men are rapidly
losing. the government of Ohio !---"Clenelaitd

TERRIBLE INDIAN MASSACRE
An extra of the Vancouver Chronicle, da
ted Oct., I, gives the following details of the
massacre previously reported.:
"1~1. Schreiber has just arrived at the Dal
les, with nests of the massacre by the Snake
Indians of an entire emigrant train, consist
ing of forty-six persons, nineteen of whom
were men, the balande women and children.
The party were first attaCked about fifty
miles this side of Salmon Falls, on the 9th of
September. This attack lasted about one
hour. The Indians then withdrew, and al
lowed the train toloroceed• five miles, when
they again attacked them.. The fight lasted
two days and one night.
" On the afternoon of the I.oth the Indiana
had possession of the whole train, with the
exception of Si* . men, who, being mounted,
escaped. After travelling through the wood&
for nine days, these six were again attacked,
and five of the party killed, Schreiber alone
escaping by hiding in the bushes. After
travelling several days without food, he was
found in an exhausted condition by some
persons who took him to Dalles.
"Of the nineteen males in the party, six
were discharged soldiers from Fort Rail. Mr.,
Schreiber is the only one who escaped. He
says that the six men who left on horseback
did not leave until the Indians had complete
possession of the train ; and from the screams
of the women and children, he was led to be
lieve that the whole party were butchered."
Fort Defiance has been captured by the
Indians. •
rtgA... A daring and novel burglary was late
ly perpetrated at a grocery store in Cleveland.
A hole one and a-half feet square was cut
through the side of the store, not twenty feet
from the open door of the room where
.Mr.
and Mrs. Mack Roney (the proprietors) were
sleeping. The burglars took the key of the
money-drawer from Mrs. Roney's dress pock
et, and abstracted about $lOO - all the draw
ers of the house were searched with astonish
ing coolness. The secret. was chloroform
profusely introduced into the sleeping:room
beforehand.

DIED,
In this borough, on the 31st ult., of Consumption, Mr.
WILLIA:u llEss, aged 23 years, 3 months, and 10 days.
The following lines were often expressed by the deceas
ed as the workings of his own mind, and written by his
own baud during his illness:
You think I have a happy heart,
Because a smile I wear,
But none can tell the bitter grief
• That's daily gnawing there.
0, once I had a happy borne,
And friends and parents dear,
But now they are all passed away,
And left inn wandering hero.
Ent yet I would not wish them back
In this lone world of care,
But rather would I leave this earth,
And rise to meet them there.
I too, like them am passing on,
Death soon shall seal my fate,
Nor do I care bow soon he comes,
Nor mourn he stays so long.
