To the E.litor of the Newa s0 Courier I concur most heartily with you in your co)ntroversy with the Green Ville Jaily NVews, as to the organi zation of the democratic party for the purpose of running a straight ticket at oar next election. In my opinion it would be folly to (o so. Tho only question at issue now in South Carolina is reform, and an honest admninistrati on of the govern mont. All who are in favor of lion esty, light taxes and economical ex pendituro of public money, whether republicans or democrat s, white or colored, should unite in purging thmo Logislature and our public olpices of roguery, corruption and incompe tency. There is nothing else worthy of enteinug into the Canvass next fall for State officers, conuty oflicers an(1 minmbers of the legislature. If I thu(Ight a Republicain, white or colored4, more"0 honest aml m1)1Dore coseiitC(ent thanl .1 lealnoeat.. I sho uldt cerLainly vote for him. ldotwitlhstanld ink; my stronlg life long DmiOocrat iel feelings and principles. In the last election I opposed ' Governor Chmnberlain with all my inflnence, lecauso . I thought he would sustain and oeu(oura'.o his party in their corruption andt dis honesty, in their .oppressive taxation and extravagant expelditmre of the lpublic mYoniey. I now cheerflly confess that in1 all this I was ic.. taken, an( that his alminiistrv pion Hats bean honest, wise and patriotic, as far as it was possible for hint to m;iake it such. If Governor Chanilerlan contin lCs to pursue the course lie hats done for the last twelve months, I .tItink it would be exceedingly unwise and ungrateful for the party to op pose 1,is ro election. It is si11(1 thlat m1:mny of his appointien: s have been hol1, anld this lie could not well itviid when lhe had to make from his own party and sup 'porters in tihe lce'ioni. Ii -lppo : oCed, as he oughSlt to be, in the next election by the democratic party and the hone-t portion of the republican party, he will have a wider and better field to select from. I think the great mass of the colored people are beginning to see th:tt they aro in no way belefited by electing corrupt men to oflice having heavy taixes to pay. If the white people will purseailc liberal policy towards them, my impressin is they woubl discard the scoiundireis who have govei ned them since their emancipation, by making them be liye that they were in danger of being thrown back into slavery, or having their political rights taken from them. It is urged by thlose who arc in .favor of a straight Demoeratic ticket, that no (3canf, by pr'oper ex rtion, trilfimph ini South GJSirolinai, as the dlemnocrat~ic party uits ono in IMississippi, Alabonaii iind Geor~igia.; I The y should riemiiiber that wVe haiv( a, largor~ colored nuhjoist~y in South Carolina to ovec'come i han they had inl any of those States. TJhety should likewise consider that sutch ai course wouhl only tend to keetp the c!olored people imiitedu, nuder their unin)Vfciled~ leadlers. Instead of dleclaring to thiem that we are determined to knock them down and destroy them as a party, wo shouhld say to theii, uie with uin reformmng thu government, and govrnmenit wvhen reforme-1. They03 wvho aire in favor orfi'riumph1 ing over the nrijority of thirty or forty then'sand colored volters, as they did in Mississippi, shoul have commnencedl their policy soonier, and do torminied not to Oml)oy or patro nlizo those wvho wouldl not vote with them. TJhcre is no( obligation in morals or p)olicy on a man to keep in his eumployment, or' parnz in any way, one who steals from 1im or enalbles others to steal from him and( opproess h im. You aro right in leaving it with ea~ch county ini the Staito to pursuo in the next elections thme course which1 the county nmay thiink most advisable C harleston has acted wisely in this respiet, ando the~ Sifate lhas p)rofited by her wise policy.woiisggl In conclhsion, Iwol net that thoro shioul be a Conven hon by dolegates of all who are, in favor of Governor Cihamuberlain's policy of hainig an honiest St a to governmmen t, light taxes, comnpetent and hmones. oiCulrs, and1( an economical expenidi ture of public moneys.

P7,nny,5 A Lady Torn to Pieces by Fero cious Dogs. The people of Natchez were, -on Sunday morning last, shocked be yond description by the announce mont that Mrs. James Fagan, an es tinable and industrious lady of this city, in humble life, had been, at a quarter to nine o'clock that morning, attacked by threo forocions dogs, And so torn and manged that her death was imminent. 4 This announconenU Was first niado in St. Mary's Cathedral at the ton o'clock mass by Very Rev. Father Grignon, who had just boon notified and 'yas about proceeding to admin ister to the poor lady the sacraments of the Catholic Church, of which she was a member. The announcem'not of her death, which occurred at about 1 o'clock, was so horrifying, so sad, so painful, that-very few, if any, could reclize its import. It was almost impossible to realize that, in almost the very heart of the city, in the broad glare of a Sunday morning's day, a hu man being had been set upon and destroyed by dogs before assistance could reach her. And yet it was all true, and one of those strange truths. st.tangor far than fiction, which nothing can re concile and yet nothing render less true. Mrs. Fagan was an humble, indus triouis, anid Iharclworking woman, wife of Mr. Jamu;es Fagan and mother of a family consisting of two girls and one boy. The family resided at the eastern end of Stato street, next neighbors to Mr. Win. Abbott. On Sunday morning, her cow not living retlurnecd in hike tiime, shio went in the direction of the bayou, just beod her re.ideneo, to look for the cow. At about a quarter after nine o'clock the harking of several dogs, mingled with scremuns, were heard in the neighborhood of the bayou, he tweeni Mr- Gastrell's residence on Hlonochitto street, ind the late resi deuce of Gen. Clark (Itouthland). in an easterly direction. 1In a few mini uites a colored boy, nm11ne not known to (.s, employed! by Mr.' H. C. Euns tis, wh(o was attatctal by the b:ark mg and sr'ronming, )assed aiong. lif loochi tto stred., Comling towards town, and crying ou nt tlhalt ia woman had lcen al!t esit.e'1n u1p by dogs, ieoiignazttimg at thIle Suae time the location. 'Thee boy, whenl l o reached Mr. Eustis, decribed )to him what he had wit mssed. Hie said lie had been attracted by the screamiis, and going to hie spot, found ia iday (Mrs. F.,) in a (tfall or galley of the bayou, her head ontl being out of the water it ('on taimed and her body submerged, and three dogs, which he dct:eribed, ferociously biting and tearing at hior'i: he lad, on seeing the situation, driven th dlogs away, for some dis tance, midut imvin g don so camiie to notify Mr. Euistia and get help. Mi. E u:hstis, imrnaediately after hearing theo boy's narraltion, proce'ea oil to the spot. Thoro ho found poo' M. Fagan, submerged, as we hav LOsaid,-in them water of the gn11y, upi to heri neck, and her fa~ce (all then visile above the waiter), most ho0111 bly laemrated'i, the dogs havinig evi dently nmade a iimst furious attoehy numd taken out wh~i~o piece~s of flosh. imis was prlobaly about twciity mmuIl Ites after tihe dogs had dono-0 the(ir dradLfl work. When Mr-. Euis ~Jpoposed to help the poor(' womaen out of thme water, she wvithi hereo ii modesty, diselosed the horri ble0 woirk thme dogs hadl done, saying to h~mihu r. Ei.,) that the dogs had stippled the clothing from her per-~ soin, anid requnesting Mr. Euistis to get a shawl or blamket to cover lher before she should :gut out of tihe wanter. What agonizing torture she must hav-ie ondu11red in this assertion of lher modesty can only be imagined whion'it is known that, after Mr. EustLis had sont to Mr. H. M. Gas trelfs house (the nearest to the sceo~,) and got a blaniket, and she had beeun taken to Mr. Gasmtroli''s houso5, to die, as thei sequel0 proved, from licr terrible wvoundp, despite erey anttention on) thin par't ot Mr'. uandl Mris. Glastroll and the nministrai tions~ of some of'thie best phmysiciansn D)rs. Metealfo and .MePhieeters, it wais foundi that not only the poor wonlum'ks face had hoon~ torni to) pices, limbs had been almnost stipped ' of flesh, and yet shie lay -there in thc watemr, this poor, bleodinig, lacer Lted woman, a nmrtyr to most exerucia.. tinig ag~ony, for the sake of womanly miodesty. Mril. (astroll, 2Mr. Eiustis mind 'oth iir' look the p~bOr wormani to Mr. Glastrell's residenice, and there, be fore two o'clock, afteria ifvinig receivedl the last sacramminits oi her church, she died. About the spot where she h ad hmeon discoveredl andl rose ued, alats I too hate, were found evidences of a most fear ful conitest betwooen the p)oor victim and the ferocious dogs. Heri shiawl, stripis of her cliing, of which slhe had been al miost en ti rely denmuded, and giloat picos of flesh from almost overgi parit of her body, woro( found within a shmort distance of the place, scat.. I red in every direcioin. Gentlemen who afterwards went to thme scene of the terrible tragedy, tracked the (logs up the right b.anh of the bayou for a contilerab .~ di~ taca- - - -; The boy who 'tiist came np on o sceno describes the dogs as a white spotted bull dog, a black dog with long hair, and wo hear that Mrs. Fa gun herself, who never lost con sciotusness front thg finding of her to her death, coiciuts kith. the boy ex actly in the description. It has not yet, at this writing, (half-past ten o'clock p. in ,) been as certainod whose dogs they wore that did this terrible deed, but the whole police force was yesterday engaged in searching and trying to identify them, so they could be killed. On Sinday there was a rumor among ot1-s, that the dogft were Mr. M. H. Gastrell's, but those who brought Mrs. F. from the scone to Mr. Gastroll's (whore she died), saw IMr. Gastrell's dogs in his yard, a few moments af the occurrence, and Mr. Eustis' boy who drove tho dogs off says they bore no resemblando to any of Mr. Gastrll's dogs. One of them is a large dog, and that one, indeed all of them, were quiet, cloan, and enclosed, as they worokept, and none answering the descriptions given. Mr. Fagan himself, the be reavod husband, having investigated, is satisfie( that Mr. Gastrell's dogs had nothing to do with it. Since writing the above we have seen Mr. Eustis himself ; ho tells us that the boy left his residence at about half past eight o'clock, to take somtlo cows over to G(en. CTark's 1to u tilhmdvl place, that on the way ho heard the dogs amid lokiig in that dilCetion saw Mis. iFa;an 's hand I )eiig pilled to all hither by them that the hoy then cate to hiam (giv img the alarm along the way), tnd told him, it.

Her own statement, Mr. Eustis tells us. is that she found the dogs (describing them as we have stated,) furiously attacking her cow, which had noimt beeni up for two days, aed she t temapted to keep the dogs oft the cow, when they .et uipmn her, uand the rest of the sad story is alI read y told.
