"! ? !??BE?W III?B L 0 CALITExMS Beaufort, S. C., OfT. I, .1877. There is not at this time, (Friday morning) a case of fever of any kind in Beaufort, except Mr. Stearn who was brought here sick from Port Royal. H. M. STI ART, M. P. % Owing to the severe gale prevailing outside for several days past, the pilot boats one by oue came in and anchored off the town making a fine display.of bunting. Mr. J. W. Collins has purchased a residence in Dclard, Florida, and may at no distant day mate that place his home. The fresh water auchorage of the monitor fleet has been fixed upon at Sandy Point, James River. Any one wishing to open a store in Port Royal, or rent a comfortable residence, will find an advertisment in another column worthy c. ii ir attention. Seven vessels, loaded with phosphate, which were dctaiued in St Helena Sound for over a week by the storui got away Last Friday morning. Some ot tue young colored men of this town in organizing a new ba<-e bail club, have called it the 'Tlaiuptou Nine" iu honor of the Governor and to show their appreciation of his high character as a statesman and as the restorer of peace and good order to the State. The schooner J. I. Spencer, captain (iaskill, arrived Saturday 17. days "from JKockport Me., to Conant & Kmmons, with 225'tons ice, 200 casks lime, 30,000 brick and 62 bales ha *. The digging of phosphate "rock in our waters has been stopped by the town authorities, or rather they have forbidden any more rock being landed on our wharves. The unfortuate contractors are stowing away their tools and will wait fo.better times. The State Treasurer has received the following sums from the phosphate companies in the way of royalty during September. Cxtsaw mining company, $15,003.00; Oak Point com pally, $2,450.00; Boatmen's company $640.00; Palmetto company, $37.00. Governor Hampton has appointed .Tames F. Izkrr, Brigadier-Genera! Third Brigade Infantry, with headquarters nt Orangeburg. His command j com prises the counties of Beaufort. Colleton, Bamwell, Orangeburg, Aiken and lxtxiugton. Mr. Chan. Kendall, of Palmetto Island, engaged in a'spirited discussion of the fence laws with "AgricoV* in thu columns of the Lexington Diubjcet of which he seems to have a cleat aial just understanding. ?*>?. A VJCRPICT OF MURDRR.?It Wa. announced several days ago that a; in.ui imend John Brown, a hand on th* (. liartestou slo->p Virginia, h.?; <-rerl>oard and drowned. O i 'J"hu sdaj last Dago Bey ward discovered ihc bo iv of Jlrowu in the marsh and reported li.'s discovery. ?J. G. Bamwe'i Esq. T.ia Justice went up on Friday and he'd an inquest. The testimony showed that the whole crew were intoxicated and engaged in a free fight at the time Browu was drowned and that no effort w s made to rescue him. The jury returned a verd'et that Brown ca:ne to his death in ( '.tmequcnce of a blow or blows iufiictcd upon him aud that he was either killed aud thrown overboard* or thrown overboard and drowned, and that Nicholas Saudford, captain of the sl^op, Adam Gadsden alias Mulligan and Fortune Wigfall were the cause ot his death. Saudford aud Wig fall were arrested and lodged in jail. T j. It was ascertained that Gadsden had ei't Beaufort for Charleston on a pnos phate boat named Tiger and be wa: promptly arrested by theeffieieut Charles ton detecti <. cn and rnnde free coufessioi of the circu:o. tanoes attending the crime. Sheriff Wiisun be;ng notified repaired tc Charleston and took charge of the prisoner. n ersou was that of Mr.,Brodie who fell victim to a hereditary lung complaint The greatest argumeut in favor of healt: here is that although the United State vessels have been in our harbor for thre years not a single death has occurred i the fleet from disease contracted here irt * 'h?

There was an , entire absence of the hungry crowd of. j creditors of the county aud the work be- j i fore the commissioners was got through i with speedily aud to the satisfaction of, those having busiuess with them. The i bids for the past indebtedness were open j 1 ed and the amottnt advertised awarded to ' | # ! i Mr. Judd, for himself and.othcrs at a< discouut of one-half of o e per cent, j ' There were three bids for building the . bridges on Sister's Ferry road, one from I John A. Tisou who offered to build them j for $285, but he wrote that in order to , build.the bridges advertised for, three! other odcs would have to be rebuilt first, | in order to obtain access to tire ones to be , built. George Steverson offered to build j the bridges for $85 each, and also to build the three others forf $75 each, pro- i viiing the mon^ was paid promptly j every Saturday night. W. II. Means | offered to do the work oh the three j l ? f C-.\r\r\ uriages ior c-oo. The treasurer reported collections from i trial justices fines amounting to $89 and j receipts from liquor licences $700. The large amount reported from licences is due to the fact that the commissioners j notified dealers that quart licences would j be issued at the rate of $50 per year, and ! many who were unab'e to pay the price ' of a retail licence at once came forward ; and applied for the quart licences. - The German brig Nichalaus, 275 tons, ! bouudfrom Hamburg to Charleston, was' wrecked on Hunting Island beach during the storm yesterday. The captain and < two men were washed overboard and lost. The cargo consisted of salt, besides ?150 in bullion iu the Captaiu's chest. s We have just heard of the death in Port Royal of Henry W. Wilkins and ! Mrs. Foster. Twenty-eight cases arc I ' uow under treatmcut. i ARREST OF RQB'T. SMALLS. "At lca t Five %Ycur?>." The not unexpected but rather sudden arrest of Robert Smalls this evening, by a sheriff's deputy from Columbia caused quite a commotion in town and soon everybody was eager to liear the truth in regard to it. It seems that while mails was qnictly conversing a j stranger came up and tapped him on the j shoulder aud told him .he "wanted him.' i Small> wanted to know what lor wli.-nj the stranger informed him that lie must j g) to Columbia with liirn. Smalls an- ! s.vered that he could give bonds if rt\u re . 1 | to the amount of $41'. ?'H) but the stran- j j gcrsaid he not want U lids but him, aud that they would start lor Columbia tomorruw morning. In the evening a friend of Smalls called on him to see if he could ' do at v hing for hint when Smalls uifeWi - i 1 ed-that he was going to Columbia ami j expected to spend a; ica.-?t "rive years in t ?e penitentiary.
