Ga., Enquirer says: We give in this paper the evidence elicited in tins much-talked ol' trial ol' Kalo South' ern.- It differs ns much as light and darkness fro II the sensational ac counts we have been reading in cer tain correspondence. Thora is no thing in the scenes, thc sut roundings nor the* incidents, to gleam a tithe of romance. The winde was a light be tween two women, while gallant Hob Southern and thc rest looked on. They were all very ignorant people, Katu and her sister both centred on "Sis" Cowart. There is no evidence that the men present tried to part thc combatants, nor docs there ap pear to have been such a scene as the sentimental' writers picture of Bob, with pistol in hand, forcing Kate's way through a crowd, All that was thc imagination of a fancy - ??k-cicl?cir.; ??Lu ?a o?' inodhrf?i height, about twenty years of age, and has dark brown hair, ano the twang crt' a North Georgia cracker She is very ignorant, can hardly read and write, and Bob is worse educated than she. Kate is passably good looking, and wears imitation jet. She says the witnesses swore lies against Inn-; that she acted it) self-defence;, that j she cannot dance, and that night at her lather's was thc "fust time thal she ever seed a reel run " Sin- is now on tbe plantation ot Col. Smith, in Washington County, and will Lc employed in the household, cooking and washing for the convicts who Work ou thc plantation. The six mouth "baby" is sick-teething and that now requires most of her time. She anya ito money has been, sent her from the North, ile. health is bad sixteen-year obi sister, sentenced lu two years as an acc?s sory to Kate's crime, hus been in Col Smith's house as a servant. Shy* IS handsome, and has been taught j > ;oud and write hy her kimi mimniir** On hyj;Jatlier/a_hxruao&b,M **yJ-y piough. lier sentence has provedTa blessing. - Bob Southern is nothing but a strong, good-looking animal--i a oounnen, ignorant boor.. He is now a guard to convicts on the same plantation. The woman Kate killed is on a par with thu rest. On lead ing the evidence, one feels utterly dis gusted with the amount cd sentimen tal twaddle that hus been expended on the case. Nut a scintilla can be i obtained to excito a single expres sion of admiration. Why, the par ties surrendered! themselves to get (he reward, and the understanding was that. Kate's mother was to get $f>0 of thc money. Whore oven a fertile fancy would extract anything ol'a romance from au atrocious crime, we cannot imagine'. We do fist bc Move there is a singlo woman, no matter how wann and sympathetic ber own heart may bc, who, after [reading' tins sworn testimony, willi i sign a petition for Kate Southern's i pardon. GovcrnorColqtiitt did right, j : Ile weighed the evidence carefully, and displayed both justice and hu-! j man i ty in his decision. A crime > has been committed, a woman killed another in her father's bouse, after! she had been received kindly by ber j parcnls--niid then lo demand of the authorities that she slusl go free is j preposterous. If such an act were : pardoned, thc doing so would ben! mockery of law. Crime already has j too much licence because thc stat-, tites are not enforced. lliwux SACUIKICKS.-The Wilming ton Star s:iys: The attention of sci entists has recently been attracted to the neighborhood of Mr A R. Black, the sheriff o? this county .upon .Mid dle Sound, some ten innes east of this city, by the discovery there of large quantities of human remains of lan unknown race and period, scatter ed al intervals along the ocean front 1 of this plantation. Yesterday a party of gentlemen attended Mr. Black, at i Iiis request, upon tin; opening ol two mounds which he had discovered-and which he conjectured contained some memorials of the aboriginal inhabi tants. Nothing unusual was lound j in the first mound, hut tin- examina j lion of the second resulted in a very interesting discovery. Bigging a circii'ar well in the cootie of the mound, at a depth of six or 'seven leoU there was fotiii? u circular de posit of charred coals, mingled willi | fragments of human bones, which had evidently lain then: undisturbed for a long period of time, and in their original deposit. The gentlemen employed veri lied portions belonging to the human cranium, vor io bite, the I clavicle, humerus, ulna, and pindan-j j gus These fragments were, how-! i ever, lo minnie for more particular | iudeiililicaliou. Ami.ug th?: bones j they discovered a black, glittering! unit unknown substance resembling mica, Which they reserved for fur- j ther examination, and a line speci men of brown and tianspai cut quartz. J The persons to whom these bones be-! longed were evidently lastoned lo-j ge titer and burned at this spot, and afterwards covered with soil. Who they were, or what the occasion of their late, is of course a matter of conjecture. Further explorations limy determine their race and nation. | We believe these are the only mounds j of this ciiajacter, and the only ev. j . ?y><***^-^jl?1a- similar saiui{a.t>^..; \.
