Five of them were arrested by cliief of Police Gilbert on the confession of one of the members and taken before Intendant Xeil on Monday evening. As usual none of them knew any thing about the actual stealing, all weie induced to go around and watch some imaginary small boy who was of course not present at the trial to do the taking. One of the boys ;said that he was told that they had been there before and knew all about the Dlaee. They appear to be a regular band of little negroes., they are all very young and should be taken by their parents and soundly thrashed.

The f*?cts in the case is ihis: Some of the former members of the Long town club did not participate in the proceedings of the Lonifto .vn club, but some of them did withdraw and went tsp to Oakland and joined that club, but for numbers they did not have forty-three members to form j u new uiiiu. j At a meeting of the Longtuwn AI! liance, on 19th instM the following i debates were elected to attend the I !

The 12th of July was celebrated at Oak Grove Academy by a game of base ball between the Union 1st nine and the Jenkensyille 1st nine. The day was very warm. The sun sent down its rays at the rate of 0.; degrees in the shade. But withal the boys did not seem the least daunted. All came to the bat at the call of the umpire (Koss Gibson) at 10 o'clock a. m. The Union nine lead off in good order. Seemingly intent to win, but it was evident from the first that the Jenkensville nine were playing under "caw" so much so that at the end of the game they had only 22 to the Unions G3. There was some good playing on both sides. The Union men were in good form and kept to the play seemingly glad to have in ! their cower to reoav the Jenkeiioville boys for the beating they gave then) last year. The pitching of ]}. R. Macfie was grand to the extreme. He curved his balls and the whistle of them in :he air was enough to make | one look <-ut for his head. A. L. j Scruggs did some splendid batting and also E. G. Scruggs never missed sending the ball where it took some time to get it back, in fact the playing of the day was all good. Had the Jenkensvilie boys begun as they ended their record would have been much better. The game was over at 2 o'clock p. m. As soon as the boys got cooled off a sumptous dinner was spread and all got sometliing to strengthen the | inner man. The Ladies Auxiliary, of I Union Y. M. C. A., was therewith a - i ^ stand or ice cream, jemouuue ^w;. which was lovely, so much so that I am told they reaped a rich harvest,' and so they should, for there labours are most" praiseworthy for doing* good. There's nothing worth notice from this part of the county, mostly all the farmers have laid by their crops which I am happy to say look well, the more so of any part of the county I have been in. Itrs true that some want rain and others say they have too much. It is hard to please all, but I trust the tune is not far distant when man will be willing to do with what God sees fit to give, and were there less murmuring and complaining things would go on better. ttrmn iwr 'rrrT.fi K rrrrxos B Mews.

What! do we see? We have the Shell Mani-j testo, with se\ere charges either made i directly or by implication against our j State Government; charges that the; authors and proclaimed of have been 1 called on time after time, both on the j stump and through the precs, to prove j or retract.

And, sirs, j who are the authors of these charges? Men who claim South Carolina as their mother; men who claim that they are proud of the grand old State with all her glorious past. Why, sirs, while the charges made by these men may be mote temperate in tone, yet in fact they are more damaging and more bitter than can he found in the violent language of a Forager or an Ingalls. The son arraigning the mother before the world, charging the most serious offences aud failing to prove a single charge, yet going on from day to day ?for what purpose? 1 leave ihe j world jo judg?. Now, sirs, I say, ought not this! thing siop? Is it nut time for the true ! manhood and the true womanhood of j [ this State to say to these men, make j good your charges that you have j brought against oar government and our publij officials, or cease your villitications and insinuations. We might expect a candidate tor Governor or ! Congres# in Ohio or Massachusetts to make votes by abusing South Carolina, her government and her institu- j | tious. but certainly never expected it I j from men who claim 10 be proud of ; their citizenship. May not old South | Carolina, when she looks around on | all sides and ?>ees all who have been and still are villifying, abusing and maligning her, and her eyes rest on , the authors and endorsers of the Shell Manifesto, well e .laim with a look of pity and regret, -'And thou, too, my json!" rir.iL'S.

B. R. Tillman has failed to advocate or to specify any relief for the farmers or any other class should he be elected Governor; and whereas, the methods of which he, the said Capt. B. It. Tillman, is the champion, are fraught with danger to the Democratic party; therefore, be it Resolved.

That it is with pride that we point our people to his dignified speeches and manly bearing in the present campaign. 7. That as an instance of liis surperb valor we also point our people to his conduct after the glorious charge of his regiment at the battle of Seven Pines, as when pierced by a Federal bullet and believed to be" dying with the life blood streaming from lips that had so often called that gallant command to victory, he was asked if he had any last message to send home; lv* rm cn<vl ?Sn.v thfi old Sixth covered licrself with glory.*' Even in what was pronounced his hour of death, not a thought for self, all for country and his comrades. 8. That to-day we believe him to be the choice of the farmers of our State for Governor and we call upon them to support him and to rebuke the methods that are now being used in the present campaign to defeat him by electing him to the highest office in our Siate. 9.
