(Marion S. C. i Junel6) correspondence of the Charleston]
-News.) • - • ,
The boldest robbery of even such times as
we now live in was committed in this county,
and only about eight and a half miles from the
village, on Tuesday night, 14th. The store of
Captain W. S. Ellerbe and Mr. Samuel Wat-•
son was robbed in a manner which almost
causes admiration from the peculiar boldness
exhibited by the thieves; Captain Thomas E. '
Stanley bad charge:lig the store, abd was as.
usual attending to his business, when;
at about eight P. 31., ho was' seized
before any possible - resistance .could
be made, forced to give,the, robbers the keys
to the sale. and, with his Wife and his cook,
locked in the counting-roOm of the store. The
robbers fastened the windows securely, and,
posting guards, they commenced plundering.
As a customer would come be would beseize,
his life threatened in case of outcry, and
marched into this nondescript jail. Eightee.n
persons, including, Mr. Watson (one of the
owners, of the Store), were finally thus im
mured. Mrs. Stanley's infant, in the dwelling
house adjoining, commenced to cry, and, in
obedience to her earnest
,entreaties, Captain
Stanley -requested _ the' robbers to ,let
him go after his little child, and also
that of his cooks in herhouse. . The robbers •
humanely granted this' request, guarding the
Captain to the 'houses and back 'to his place of
imprisonment. When they were ready:, to
.leave they handed . the prisoners a lightedcau
die, and after warning them they would be
shot in case they attempted - to come' out be
fore day, they went off, taking , the horse of
Mr. Watson to assist them in taking off their
booty:': They made 'directly for' the „North onto,-
lina line, At. Mr, John H.• Moody's , they
_stopped and took two houses,' and at ~ 1 1.ti:Ar.
.1. Page's .they"took* two. more: TheleSs
3lessrsi• Ellerbe & Watson is.'not definitely
knoWn, :es .the,, goods wore , nearly all : taken
from the shelves and strewn on the floor—
the robbers only taking off what suited them;
this-.being for .• the most, part ready-Made
clothing, amulunition, 'shoes, &c. They ob
' tainen $4OO in money. The, imprisoned , party.,
succeeded at about 1. Al. 3E4 14th - instant, in
drairing'a staple and releasing theinselVe.s,
when the alarm was given •and‘ pursuit com
menced. The hand thrust in with the`.lighted'
candle was white; but 'the entire band,,so far,
as _ seen, were - hlaokened., The number of,
thitires - - variously" estimated at from five
to ten.' -
Sliice :writing the above Mr. Shaw has re- ,
turned: , The horses seemed to have. been
turned. loose, after their • services were no
longer needed, and were, w,et_' returning, so,
that mucli.was saved. The band was traced

TUE FINE ARTS.
_ -
Wenderoth's close and careful representa
tion of the Battle,of Gettysburg, has justbeen
removed to the pleture-gallery of Porter &
Coates, No. 822 Chestnut street. In this light
and airy apartment , it shows to much better
advantage than' in the lomlity wiulre it has
.untiLnow been buried. The Union,. League
are holding the purchase of this painting
under advisement.
At the same establishment we notice a num
ber of , interesting workii of art. The large
and most elaborate interior, representing
Saint Peter's atlßome, is:still: on 'exhibition.
It is a mosaic of the clearest and minu
test - detail, - The artist is Weidenbach,
of Diisseldoil, now settled in Balti
nicire. He is at present, we understand,
leas exacting as to terms than when ho
first introduced_ the . picture among us, and the
different public institutions controlled by the
Roman Catholics, for any one of which the
canvas would be a splendid adornment,should
bestir themselves to secure it. The composi
tion represents the vast apsis,of _Saint -Peter's;
as it appears during a CereMonial when an
enormous cross of tire is let down in the neigh
borhood of the be/duo-hi/to.
George Inness, perhaps the irts:t- American
landscape-painter, contributes to Messis. Por

exquisite dreamy beauty, for -either of whith

F. Bei nke, a good Dusseldorf genres painter,

time when these same chiefs,with their bands,
swept down upon_Kansas._in_.lB64,
men were in the Union army, fighting under
the, same Grant for .the -preservation of the
'Union, and ruthlesisly murdered our women
and children on the Blue and adjoining,

how, in the dead of winter. after returning

the entire Sioux nation _operating in, the-

their lovely 'tribes, rebelled against the
authority of Gen. Connor's escort, killed the
commanding officer and a number of his men,
and made good their escape to the Black Hills.
where, from that day to this; they have been
amusing them - selves by killing soldiers and

AMOS T. AMERMAN
low His Appointment, an Attorney.
General lo Iteeeived in Georgia.
nominationlanta New Amosne 11.1
The of Hon. T. Akerman
to the position of United States Attorney, as
announced by our despatches this morning,
meets the approbation of the Republican
party in this State, and isfitting tribute
to the merits of that gentleman as a jurist
and as a man. It is also a `timely recogni
services as a tirm—and
undoubted Southern Republican who has
given much of his time and talents to the
cause of reconstruction in Georgia. Mr.
- Alterman has been closely identified with the
Republican party in this State from the day of
its formation to the organization of the local
State Government. He Was a member of the
Constitutional Convention under the-Recon
struction acts; supported Governor Bullock's
election ; was Presidential elector -at • large
on , the Grant. ticket with Senator
Farrow ; -- supported the organization of
the Legislature under the act of Decem
ber last ; and though a personal friend of Mr.
hill, has never allowed himself to be drawn
into any position of antagonism to the Re
publican party in this State. He stands well
with his.party, and commands the respect - and
confidence of all men; regardless of party,
who know him.personally. We therefore con
gratulate the Republicans in Georgia upon his
nomination to this honorable position as Cabi
net Minister at Washington.
The fact that Mr...Akerman has been so
closely allied with the fortunes of the Repub
lican organization in this State, is in itself a
sufficient guarantee of the endorsernent by the
President of the party of which he is and has
been a leader ; and this endorsement is all the
trierb sathiftictory and - gratifying in view of the
fact that the Chairman. of our State (7entral
Executive Committee, Hon. Foster Blodgett,
is now in Washington, and was consulted in
this fitting recognition of the claims of the
party in Georgia.
There is much to cheer the Republicans of
our State in this morning's news. The ap
pointment of one of our Radical Republican
leaders, to the high Cabinet office of Attorney-
General of the 'United States, and the action
of the Reconstruction Committee in-overrul
ing the decision of the Cornpiittee,made when
several of the members were absent, by strik
ing out the Bingham proViso, will be very
satisfactory to our party friends, and-very dis
couraging .to the Bryant wing of the De
mocracy
Letter as a Grant Elector.
The following is taken from a long letter
vritten by Mr. Akerrnan, accepting thonom
nation of Grant Elector for the State at
argt2 :
" ELBERTON, Elbert Co., Ga.., Sept. .2., 1868.
.1. M. Rice, Req.,. Secretary of the Republican
Wale Committee--Dear SU- : Atisence arid-Sick
ness have prevented an earlier reply to yours
of. the 20th of- August, giving me formal
• notice that the State Republican Convention
of Georgia had placed my name upon the
electoral ticket of that party. With the. un
derstanding that I shall be excused from
entirely canvassing tbe State—a labor which
my.private engagements: and-the state of my'
health forbid—l, accept the nomination_____B-y
--declining [mightsubject myself to the sus
picion of oprosition or indnierence- to the
success of Gen. Grant... •
"Such a suspicion would do injustice, to
deenest convictions of pablic duty., I have no'
liofe the speedk return of peace, 'order and
kfetnity to our troubled country but in the
election of General Grant. The violent pas
sions_which-are-embodied—and--organtz-ellih7'
the Democratic_ party.ot. the-South can..bringloith- •
nothing but evil if they, enter the seats
of Ipolitical_po_wer.. )t, •'t Some of the.
more rational - Democrats 'think - that Mr. Sey
mour. if elected, will be too wise to disturb
the new State Governineots. He is too saga
cious, they say, to involve his Administration
in so difficult a controversy, and. therefore,
he will drAregard the Democratic platform and
the warlikeTropositions of Gen. Blair. Ac
cording to them, the only hope of peace to
the country rests with Mr. Seymour's antici
pated treachery to his party!
-I have a better Lope—in the wisdom, firm
ness and fidelity of Gen. Grant. Place him in
the Executive chair, and all will be well. Onr
Democratic malcontents, curbed by his strong
and just hand, will abandon their unprofitable
vocation, and cease to disturb the public
peace."
Speech at Atlanta.
The Atlttida Ye ErC4 üblished a long speech
delivered in that w
city opn
Oct. 1,186 t, in the
course of which Mr. Akerman said:

this two candidates are before us, and to these
our choice is restricted. General Grant, pre

presented by the Deinocratic party. Both, as
tar as I know .or believe, are men of good
private character. Beth' are gentlemanly in
culture, habits and education. Moreover,
justice to both requires me' to say that they
are both- great men.. Mr. Seymour is
great in words; 'General Grant is great in

this continent in speech that sounds well and

Hew The Thing is Done in Montana—A
Welsh Woman Getting Her Bights.
[From the Bock Island Argue. Juno 17.1
Montana has a citizen named Miss Given
Evans, who is by birth a Welsh woman. — She
has set an example to women which is Worthy
of all acceptance, in that it exhibits tact,'
courage and endurance, and a will to make
her way by inherent force, which she neither
wished she had nor.tried by flexibility of the
vocal organs, to prove that of right she
should- have. -About a month ago she en
tered the United States District A Court in Mon
tana and asked 'to have a naturalization cer
tificate made out for her. The puzzled
functionary settled his'spectacles down on his
nose, examined.. the applicant with Surprise,
and then plunged into United States statutes,
in which be found no legal reason why a
woman should not be duly naturalized, and
so Mist Evans -receivedher, paPers. with
Which she boldly went to the land office of
the Territory. There she asked a clerk to
make out her declaratory statement to pre

like the other, was..semewhat astonished at

found no 'reason: torenal the applidant, and

Destruction of a Cocoooet7 in Cal ornia.
At about half-past 3 • o'clOck on Sunday
morning, one of the cocooneries on the prem.,
ises of Capt. Wm. M. Haynie, on the' Tivoli
road, was discovered to boon fire and in a
moment the whole family, in breathless alarm,
rushed . out of the . house, all intent on staying
as much as possible the ravages of the . fire.
--W-e-eannot do better - than describe — the -- scene
in the graphic language of Capt. Haynie, as
related to our reporter by himself:
"My Chinamen were awakened by the
barking of the dog, when they discovered
that the southeast corner of the building was
on fire. They immediately got up, and, in
stead of coming straight to the house and call- . I
lag me, they congregated in the rear of the,-
house and set up the most hideous yelling and
screaming I ever htfard,which, of course,woke
us up in a few minutes. I. jumped into my
pants and boots and gotdown stairs in double
quick time, and upon opening - the backdoor
and gOing down the back porch steps the
scene that met me was horrible in the ex
treme, both to sight and hearing. Ranged in
line were nine yellow' devils, of • Chinamen,
dancing, yelling and gereandrig;With the vivid
and terrihle red glare ofthe.devouring, flames
reflecting their ydliow skins, all
bareheaded, and . . their ~,_ long ~::queues
swinging' in - the - air. It appeared •to me.
that a delegation of devils had been sent up
from below to create aperfect Pandemonium
upon earth. These thoughts all passed through'
my mind in a second. I ran among them and
got, four or five to take hold of the' large
wagon, which was close to the-building; 1
then took hold of the buggy and made two or
three get hold of thd light spring wagon, all
of which were imthe wing shed of the barn;
next to the burning building. I then discovered
that the roof of the barn was on fire in three
places. Ijumped upon the shed, and in the
meantime the white ineithadgot.my horse out
of the stable : I sang out for water. Two Chi
namen now came to me, and we got them un
der way with the Dump and buckets. . The
largest fire on the bar-n roof was near the apex.
of the roof, and consequently, the roof being
so steep, we could not reach it. I hove one
Attejsl___ , t of water up to it; . bnt only reached the
lower part ; the water running hack under our
feet. making the shingles slippery, and I fell
on:My - back, head -up-hill. Finally we 'got a
ladder on the roof, where it was rood firmly.
while water was_s_ent up. A line was 'formed
from the ptimp to the shed, and in a few min
utes we bad it under control. Two-minutes
lost and the flames. would havereached the
barn, large cocoonery and the Chinamen's
house, besides abouttwelve. cords of wood and
the contents of the main . building. . All this time there was a light breeze from the south
east, and the flames would almost lap the roof
of the-barn, and the heat was terrific. I had
just fitted up shelves and hurdlesin.thabuild
ing; and had removed from my large building
- about
.250,000 worms two, days before. Of

all the - hcit-air pipe was stored on the cross

Origin of St. Josaphat.
The most curious mistakes sometimes occur,
but we recall none so strange as one men
tioned by Professor Max Muller in a recent
lecture on " The Migration of Fables." Ac
cording-to this eminent authority, the founder
of Buddhism—a religion that has endured for
2,400 years, that even now numbers 455,000,000
adherents, and that teaches a morality second
only,to that of Christianity— has received, tin
der another nanie,and of course through igno
rance, the highest ,honors of the Romah and
the Greek churches, and stands on their
calendars as a regularly canonized saint. This
is the story: Johannes Daulasceo us, a famous
Christian theologian and controversial writer,
Massed his youth in the household of Almon
sur, where his father held a position of trust.
here his mind became, stored . with Eastern
lore. In after life he wrote a treatise ou Chris
tiau morals, in the form of a religious novel,
the history of Balsam and Josaphat. The lat
ter was represented as a young prince, of
whom it had been predicted that. he would em
brace Christianity and become a devotee. To
prevent this,
his father endeavored to seclude
him from all knowledge or human misery or
evil, and to attach him entirely to the pursuit
of- ensure_ But at , length the young prince
took three drives, in which he saw old age,
sickness, and death. ,The-reSult of tire dis
cOvories was the transformation of th young
man of pleasure into a pious hermit. A. literal
age mistook the romance for a history and
the hero for a real personage, and as such he
was accepted by both the Eastern and West
ern - churuhes, by both of which he was
canonized.. In the Greek Church the festival
bf St. Josaphat is celebrated on the llith of
August; in the Church of Rome on the 27th
of November. Nor were the churches very
far.wrong ; the history ot•dosanhat was a true
one—or, at least, is that of Buddha as given in
the sacred hooks of the Buddhist religion,with
which, in the Arabic translation, doubtless
Johannes was . familiar; and the highest
honors of the church have beim conferred on
many less worthy than this old Indian Moral
ist—Mr/cf.

The cable despatch from France, about the
dangerous illness of Gen Robert Anderson, of
Fort Sumter fame, is akin& tragical, in
bf his physician's direction fur a change or
climat'e as the means of saving his life. Gen.
Anderson was broken in health, if not in
heart; when he was compelled to leave Naw
York, a year ago. He was unable to pay his
very moderate expenses here out of the
petty income allowed him by Congress,
after; his retireminct from • the army
and , he went' abroad for the purpose of
living as economically as possible, in some
small - town of Germany or France. He lost
his property during the war, and though he
tried hard to get some remuneration for it s
from Congress he failed. He was greatly dis
couraged by this,and also at the way in which
his patriotic services at the bi..ginning of the
war were slighted. Before leaving' here, he
offered his private library for sale, as a Means
of tneeting the expenses of his family on their
passage to Europe. There were in this ll
hiaryAnany_valitable books of a military and
scientific , kink for which he hoped •to .obtaiti
good prices. But though his friends 'Zit' the
press called attention to.the sale, he realized.
very little from it, few of the boOks bringing
one-quarter their cost or value. He left here
a ,poor man, shattered in constitution, and
with an incoine , so small that he had very
hard work to cover the necessary expenses of
hid family. He has been living for sonic time
past in a humble way; at the French town of

Lora Arthur Pelham Clinton. '
_--A-telegram-from-London reportii-thii-deathi.
on Saturday last, of the unfortunate young
man whose name has recently gained .art.
unenviable notoriety in connection with the
Boulton masqueraders case." He was the
third son of Henry, fifth buke of Newcastle, '
by Lady Susan Harriet Catherine, ' only
daughter of Alexander, tenth. Duke .of
Hamilton ' and was born on
,the
nd of June, ''lBlo. His mother,- ,it will
he remembered, was divorced from his father;-
in 1850, the affair creating great excitement in'
aristocratic circles in England, she baVing'
been guilty of infidelity to herhusband.' The.
Duke, by th'e way, who held a prominent posi
tion-among English statesmen, having been a
member of the cabinets of Aberdeen, and
Palii2erston, is said to have been the model of
Disraeli's " Coningsby'" in the novel 'of 'that
name. He accompanied the Prince of 'Weiss
to the 'United States and Canada in 1860, and
died four years later.
The subject of this Sketch, Lord Arthur
Pelba,m Clinton, was educated at Eton, and
soon after his graduation entered the royal :
navy, of which he became a lieutenant. Be-.
coming tired of the service he left it without '
leave, and after some time spentin going from
point to point was arrested as a deserter. ,
Family influence, however, prevented .his
being cashiered, and ho was allowed to resign
his. commission. :.,,He then went to Loa
don, where he appears 'to have fed a wild
life. In 1865 he was elected• a member .of
Parliament from Newark, serving Until:lB6B,
but taking little or no part in the debates,of---
the House. In fashionable parlance he was -
" fast," and in his career of dissipation had for •
compahions members of the most aristocratic
families of England, including, as would aii
,
pear from letters recently found, the Prince of
Wales himself. A few weeks - ago the . lcie-
ceased, with otheni, was arrested on a very
serious charge, still pending, and in which the.
United States Consul at Glasgow is impli
cated. His death so soon after, coupled
with his dying declaration of innocence, in
dicates that, the gravity of his position preyed'
upon his mind and aceelerated,if it did not ac
tually cause, the end of his earthly life. His
dying declaration that the assumption of vro
in eh's clothing by the masqueraders was merely
in frolic will, doubtless. go., far towards excul
pating the other gentlemen under arrest from
the suspicion of having committed a most
horrible ofience, for which the laws, of En--
land provide severe . punishment.
