THE ADVERTISER. Edgclicld, S. C., Ot t. 'iO, 1871. Excitement in Savannah. Mr. De Montmollin, of Savannah, rent otl his plantation ton milos above the city to a Mr. Zetler, but fin "lade him to sub-let any portion of it to negroes. Zet ler however disregarded this, and did sub lot tho land. Mr. TH'Montinollin then went up and had Zetler ejected, and drove off some of the negroes, while others consented to rem ?in and be hired by Mr. I>e Montmollin. Tho latter, af ter, after this, returned to the city; but hearing soon that the i;smissed negroes had determined to go back to the planta tion and drive off those who had remain ed, he again went up, taking with him two friends Messrs. Kent and Slyer. They wore attacked by the disaffected negrees-a large and well-armed band and all three wounded-Mr. Slyer mor tally. And not only wounded, but taken off by the negroes to Bluffton on the South Carolina coast. At latest advices they were still in the hands of the ne groes nt Bluffton, and it is feared Mr. Slyer is already dead. Savannah is even now iii a high state of excitement over this bloody and high-handed outrage. Disastrous Eilects of Martini Law. Thc Columbia Phonix, of Sunday, says: Our information from Spartanburgnnd York is that a feeling of great insecurity and excitement prevails in those counties. Many have left their homes to avoid mili tary arrest. Yesterday, at Yorkville. there had been forty four persons placed In jail, and our informant states that five hundred or six hundred persons had left their farms-laving their crops exposed to depredation. At this period of the year the Injury resulting to the business intorosts ol' these disturbed communities from the present state of affairs must be very great. There was a rumor of a collision be tween the citizens and the military at some point on Broad river, but tiiis re port is probably unfounded. A special telegram to tho Charleston News, dated Columbia, Oct. 23d, says Eighteen citizens of York County were arreste1 last night, charged with being members of thcKu-KIux Society, and there are forty already in jail in York ville on the same charge. Attorney-General Akerman is person ally aiding Marsha? Johnson in his raid on the proclaimed counties. AUG US TA ADVERTISE M ES TH.

Important Decision. Tiio Charleston News, of yesterday contains tho following decision of a homestead case : I i a case where judgment had been re covered before Judge Carpenter, June, 1870, in which" that Judge held that tho defendant was not entitled to a home stead, and the homestead which had been before set off to the defendant was taken out of his posssession and the plaintill put in possession thereof. Judge Ora hani this week ma le an order, on motion of Mr. Knowlton, he defendant's coun sel, setting a.si<l<- inc judgment and all the proceedings under it, ordering a new trial in the tuse, and giving the defend ant, Mr. Jeremiah J. Houck, leave to om.- in and plead his right of homestead. fSBF Branch, Sons & Co., of Augusta, have sent one thousand dollars to the Chicago sufferers. Foremost Among Our Household Tho war is so lately over, and Its im dents ar? still so fresh in our incmorii that we are uot inclined to value prop* ly any 11 ?story ol' the greut struggle, tliis, wc are committing amistake. The is such a History that every Southe family should possess-The "Life Cen IL E. Lee," by John Esten Cooli of Virginia. This is no hastily writt work. Mr. Cooke, Virginia's finest ai most experienced scholar, has been bu upon it from the time of tho surrend down to thc present clay, and it has : ready received the unbounded enco aims of the world at large. The bo< is published by the Appletons of Nt York and the style of its typograph engravings, and binding, is incompai bly beautiful. ? Our honored fellow-citizen, Capt. M. Talbert, Agent for the sale of t book, has presented us with a cop which we value very highly and sh< place foremost among our househo gods. The price of the book is $5.( Even regarding its mechanical executh only, it is richly worth every cent of tl money. The Trutli from the Other Side. From a late issue of the Beaufort Ji publican we extract the following : The editor of tho Daily Union, h worked himself into a fever heat regan ing the AU Klux bands, which, accon ing to his statement are as countless; numbers, as the clans of McGregor. 1 sees them in his dreams, in his wakii hours, andhishowlings thereat, arefrigh fut. We can tell him how to treat sin cases to produce permanent cure. Wi] out the present State administration fro: the Governor down to the thieving legi lature, and from thence through all tl minor appointments, clean them awa; and there will then be no Ku Klux hoi rors to frighten his di soused i magi nat io: Scenes and Incidents of the Gre; Chicago Fire. A GRAVEYARD OK FIRE.-A corresnoi dent of the New York Tiibune, describir the fire, says : This region, /iver by tl lake and thc gre.it Lincoln Park, scenic to offer safety. So a great rush was ma-.' for the paik, and the refugees made then selves comfortable in thc delusion of sect rity. After ravaging to thc limits of tl: city, with the wind dead against it, tl fire caught the dried grasses, ran along tl fences, und in a moment covered in burning glory the Catholic Cemetery an the grassy stretches of the great nar! The marbles over the graves crackc i an baked, and fell in glowing embers on tl hot turf. Flames shot up from thc res' ing-places of the dead, and the living ft ...iiives, screaming with horror, made for moment the ghastliest spectacle that ev< fell upon livingeyes. The receiving vaul solidly built, and shrouded in foliage, fe under the terrific flame, and the dea burst from their coffins as the fire toi through the walls of the frightful charin house. In the broad light of to-day tl: place is tho most ghastly I ever saw, nc even Cold Harbor exceeding it in awfi suggest i veness. Above the graves chai red stones stand grim sentinels of tl . lead, no more memorials of anvthing bi disaster. Every inscription has attar peared, and even the dead are robbed b thc flames. It seemed that ead. hour of that lon night developed some new and terribl phase of sufi'ering. A woman came rui: ning up to a group of gentlemen and ash ed if there was a doctor anywhere in th crowd. One was soon forthcoming Dr. Miller-and he was informed that hi services were required to assist the prc gress of a child into the world. He return ed in an hour and reported that the dein en- had been safely accomplished, and th mother was " doing as well as could b expected." No ?ess than three childrei were bom iu Lincoln Park within fifteei hours-prematurely, doubtless, by the ex citement of the scenes through which th mothers had passed. It was a very com mon sight i" see people stretched out oi a pallut of straw, Buttering from difieren diseases, many of them having been sum moued from a sick bed at home to sav their lives. A diminutive sheet, bearing the familia name of the Chicago Evening Post, bu very unfamiliar in its make-up and gene ral appearance, gives forth the same un daunted, cheery tone of old, and speak; encouragingly thus : " The people of Chicago are in ashe: and mourning ; but they are alive witl hope and courage. Only while their en ergies were employed in checking the de st rael ion of their homes and busbies: houses were they deterred from the worl of beginning again. Only yesterday Chi cago seemed a smoking, charred and" hope less min. To-day it is almost itself again Enough is saved to make a beginning and a beginning every man, woman alic child "ems determined to make.-' The basement of the Chicago Courl House was the County jail. Nearly ?o? prisoners were confined therein. It is re ported, but I know not with what cor rectness, that nearly all these prisoners were left locked up in their cells, and that they were burned alive. The sto ry is, that the jailor and the turnkeys, foreseeing thc great danger, released some twenty of the prisoner.-, and marched them ac -'is.s the river to the police station of the .ec .ni precinct. Thinking they would be ible ." return in ample lime, the officers I ?eked-up all the great doors leading to the jail. On their re! urn, however, the oi 1 Coori House was one sheet of fian. \ Tin! intense heat kept every one back, .'.id di ti; ?se i.ninan beings were left to their horrible fate. There was a large jewelry store and a liu.ik nearly opposite. The fire had touch ed these, and tho doors had been broken onon to let the firemen run their hose through the buildings. "William Tracey md Barney Aaron went for the jewelry store, while Brown and Munday struck for the bank. Both parties were captured. Two lamp-posts were convenient, and jonie of the citizens' special police clcya ? i Tracey and Aaron thereon: but a sweeter ; te befel Messrs. Munday and Srown. They were captured by some of the infantry from 'Jr..aha-men who sneak i-, a thief with the butts of their muskets, .md ask him where he is going with the muzzle. The consequence was natural. Munday and Brown wer? stood up with heir backs against the '.vail of a house ind the rifles of the soldiers did the rest. <o ended the Chicago career of the Aaron jang of thieves. In three cases persons jumped from the windows, and two children were tied up in beds an 1 thrown from the fourth story window, and landed on the pavement un injured. A Mr. Jarvis had a broken leg from -['ringing from the second story win low, and others were bruised from the same cause;. Many people in the haste of their es lape, abandoned everything, even to jow lly and money. I saw one fellow's pock et half full ol' jewelry and watches. I ipokc of it, but in an Instant he lost him self from my view in the crowd. I saw a villainous-looking negro with a- ladies' chatelaine (hain suspended awkwardly at his vest. The little girl I had, walked until the liol pavements blistered her lit tle feet ; then we earned her. "ls papa and inania burnt ip? Is Neddie burnt up dead ?" she piteously asked. Late at night we found them all safe, It was nearly morning before we obtained shelter and food. I never want to set eyes upon Chicago again. At the intersection of Randolph and Market-streets was a larcje building (Cal lom's,) used for offices. The janitor resid ed on the fouiih flo' - withins family, con sisting of a wife and four children. By this they were unable to escape. Sur rounded by fire, they ascended to the roof. The babe was in thc mother's anns, and another child, a little boy, clung to her skirts. Two girls were clasped in the arms of the father. Their shouts were but faint ly heard over the howl of the winds and the roar of thc flames. At last thc heat became so intense that the woman was overcome and fell to the roof. Thc father wildly threw out his hands and staggered, writhed and sunk by his wife's side. That was all of that holocaust tragedy. The shoes and clothing of aU the party at tested the severity of the ordeal through which they had passed. Below us in the square, among the crowd, we recognized a man who had often preach ed infidel sermons, or rather tirades, from the su ns, and frequently was stopped by the police on account of the great distur bance lie incited. Now he was wringing his hands as if'in agony, and wailing ant shouting, " Where is God now ! Where is God now! Show us the angels !" etc. This he continued until an officer collared and thrust him into the basement, where his ravings were less audible. I saw a man on Monday looking in tently and seriously at his block of five story stores on Water street, then writh ing and roaring in the flames. I knew him and watched him. His gaze was rivet ed. I pitied him heartily, for I judged that he was on the verge of despair. At last I ventured to approach and break his reverie. " Well, Blake, what are you thinking of?" said I. "Ah-hi" said he, with a smile, "I was thinking the rats must be catching hell !" One more:-It was but yesterday that I saw Blakely, editor of the Pvening Post, hovering around infrontofthe ruins of | the office. He picked up a brick face tiously and spat upon it. "What for?" I asked. " Seeing whether they're cool enough to clear out and build over again," was the reply. This reveals all of the spirit of cheerfulness there is. The mirth is rather forced: there is plenty of pluck, but it has a solid substratum of serious meditation. Found Drowned. NEW YORK, October 23.-Tho body found in East river this morning has been identified as that of young Pryor, son of | Roger A. Pryor. ?t is not known in what manner ho came to his death, and perhaps the mystery may never be cleared up. A peculiar sadness attaches to this severe domestic affliction in the bright promise of the manner and loveable character of this young man. He had but little more than a year ago graduated at Princeton with higher honora than had ever before been won In that Institution by tho most distinguished of its Alumni. The intervening period has been spent by him in a great part at Cambridge, in England, where he won a prize in math ematics. A few months ago he returned to the United States, and has since been prosecuting the studv of law in the office of his father. (?rant Speaks a Piece. TonTLAXD, ME., October 20.-Grant had a showy reception here. Responding to a serenade, he said : " I have a vivid recollection of visiting vour city six years ago. This is the second time I have been in your city, and am much pleased with the reception here as well as at other places I have visited in your State. If I do not come oftener than I have hereto fore, I shall not make many more visits here before I shall bo quite an old man." -.-.-.<?>.?.-. SING?LAI: TRAGEDY.-A singular trag edy is reported from Switzerland. Last spring the wife of a peasant died at Gri sons. A few hours before her death she took a pill which had been prescribed by the medical man who was attending her. After her death the husband, who was pas sionately attached to his wife, got the fixed idea that the pill contained poison, and that it was owing to her having taken it that his wife died, and with continually brooding over this thought he became quite melancholy, and a few days ago took his two children, aged respectively 8 and 12 years, and beat out their brains with a hammer, after which he cut his own throat. In a letter, which was found on a table in his bed room, he stated that as he was unable to live without his wife, he had taken the shortest means to join her, with their children, in the other world. Thu New York Herald, referring to the proclamation declaring martial ?aw in Sonth Carolina, in tho course of an editorial on thc subject, has this to ray : " Coming upon usjust at this time of universal charity and good will among men, it jars upon the public ear as an unexpected and unwelcome sound." ??i~ Tho 2*ciL'be)-ry Herald says: Last Wcdnctday night a negro man, who gave hi* nume as Li LU us Ruff, alias Luuus Suber, alias Bill Holloway, entered tho second ?tory win dow of Mr. Foot's residence, by ascending n tree and getting upon tho porch. Ho raised thc window and catered tho chamber cf the young ladies, who wore aroused from sleep bj tho villain's placing his hand up-jn thc throat of ouc of the young ladies. Their ?crean-s awoke tho family, wbon the fellow made his iscapc. Ho was ?oon after tracked and taken by tho young men of tho family, and lodged in jail. This outrage will serve as a warning to our citizens to be watchful. COMMERCIAL. AUGUSTA, October 24. GOLD-Buying at 112 and sellingatll3.
