On going a short dis tance from the camp a man was found lying in the road, a lighted lantern standing by him. The man's neck was frightfully torn but be was able to say that a panther had sprung upon him and torn him in that manner. lie was carried to the camp and died in an hour. The severe weather has made the wild animals of that regioi hungry and fierce. —The trial of Colonel Cash for kill ing Colonel Shannon in a duel is a sig nificant commentary on the -Mate of public opinion in South Carolina. It was proved on the trial that Colonel Cash goaded his adversary to chal lenge him, and went to the "field of honor" with a set purpose to kiil Col- Shannon. The final plea of the Stale's Attorney was very powerful, and the charge of Judge Pres.-ly bore strongly against the accused. The most reput able newspapers had strongly con demned the killing of Colonel Shannon, and done all in their power to turn public opinion against the murderer. Vet the jury disagreed after all this, only four being in favor of conviction. —Mr. J«»hn Mitchell, proprietor of the hotel nt Free port, h"S brought suit against James Harbison of this county, for conspiring to entice away his wife and rob him of his money, poods and chatties. In his affidavit, the plaintiff charges the defendant with harboring and keeping his wife since last Decem ber and claiming that his household has been broken up and business ruin ed. He claims damages in the sum of S3OOO and our Court allowed a capias to is.-for defendant and fixed the bail at 32.000. Harbison was arrested ami gave bail. The wife is his sister, and she claims that her husband has been abusing her and that she was compel led to leave him. —Among the bills read in place in our State Legislature lately was one to provide for the infliction of corpora! punishment upon all male persons con victed of willfully beating their wives or beating any other female per.on, and the manner and place of inflicting the aid punishment, and the officers by whom the same is to be inflicted. The bill provides that any male per son who shall beat his wife or other female person, shall receive not exceed ing thirty J;:sbcs upon his bare back by means of a whip or la.- h of suitable proportions and strength for the pur pose. This punishment shall be in flicted by the sheriff of the county or by one of his deputies wi'Lin the prison enclosure of the county in which the offence is committed, and in the presence of a duly licensed physi cian and of the keeper of the prison or one of his deputies, but in the presence of no other person. —Those who incline to the opinion that th > British will whip out the Dutch Boers of South Africa befoie they get through with them should re flect that they have a broad continent behind them upon which they can fall back, if necessary lor the preservation of their freedom, as they fell back from Caoe Colony in 1835, and afterward from Natal, and again from the coun try of the Orange and Vaal Rivers. The history of these people has been one of love and sacrifice for liberty for upward of two centuries. They have never surrendered the tradition of their freedom. This is not their first armed resistance to British oppression. After the struggle of IS4S they left tfyeir home rather than submit to domina tion, and established themselves in the Transvaal, where four years later their independence was explicitly recognized by treaty. Out of the contest now go ing on may come forth a destiny which shall make these bardv, God-fearing farmers masters of the Dark Couti nent. A, TROUTMAW. (PATLXTLM j - ;= n T :i, In Black and C«»!or«.

ArrtKi ol W lit it*. On Tuesday night ol Inst week, be tween the hours of eleven and twelve, Chas. Eagan, a man well known in this vicinity and who for some years has been in the employ of the Western Union Telegraph Co., as repairman, received bis death wound from a knife in the hands of William White, a boiler maker by trade, and who for some years carried on business at Mil lerstown. The affray happened in a drinking saloon or bottling bouse in Millers town, and seems to have been the cul mination of a:i old feud between tbe two men, who had quarreled and come to blows before. On the evening in question, both men hail been drinking, and it appears from the evidence given at the inquest that Eagan attacked White, pushed him ayainst a wall and was pounding him with his fists, when White who seems to have been expecting an at tack and had armed himself with a penknife with a long, sharp blade, cut him several times in the right arm and side, without inflicting a fatal wound. The two men were then separated by the others in the room, but Eagan again attacked White, who again cut him, this time in the left groin, sever ing a large artery and causing his death in a few minutes. White lingered about the town for several hours alter the affray and, strange to say, was not arrested. lie then disappeared, and no clue to his whereabouts was known till Sun day morning when an unsigned note was put in the hands of the two police men of East Brady, giving them to understand that he could be found in UP. oil well shanty on the Baruhart farm, a mile west of Millc-retown. That afternoon, the two men drove over to Millerstown, where they se? cured the services of some persons ac quainted with the premises, went to the farm and searched the shanties on it without finding him, and were about to leave, when bearing that there was still another shanty on t he farm, they went to it. White was there and at the time was co<>kinethiir a sec ond time after while; EUJIHH immediately sank; both seemed to be under the influence of drink; White was not to blame in my opinion ; never heard White threaten Eagan ; searched White's two coat pockets before they met the second time, but could find no knife ; an: not positive which hand White bad the knife in ; there were present, myself, Win. Frederick, I'lum mer Holland, J as. Crowley, Win. Perry, Wm. J.
