The advertisement of Mr. 8. Swardalb,
offering thi? fint clui Hotel Property for
Sale or Lease, most attract attention. It is j
the best bote! anywhere in the up-country of
8oeth Carolina, and its loeation in Greenville,
now the third tewn of the State in popnlatien
and business, with prospects of greater pro as
parity, insures ita permanent value. The
Air-Line Railroad will soon reach this place,
whieh must give a great impulse to its growth.
Greenville has always been a favorite resort
for travelers and visitors at all seasons?espe.
dally in the summer. The elimate for health
and pleasantness, is not surpassed by any In
the United States; and the schools and colleges
in the place, sake it a most desirable
place for families. But its business and trade
continually on the increase, makes the plaoo
peculiarly fitted for a profitable Hotel. Amessg
other advantages ot a hotel here, the annual
long sessions of the United States Courts, is
no inconsiderable item. Any judicious, ens
terprising man would do well to invest in the
Mansion House. The suooess of Mr. Swabsals
in accumulating a handsome fbrtane in
it, is the best recomaaandation. He only retires
for reasens disconnected with the pro*
prietesship of the house. GreenriHe would
welcome a new comer in the Mansion House
of the right business capacity, whether, from
the North, Soath, East or West. All desire
a first-class hotel kept np in our City.

that they eould not get any. We then drore
off Soon e Iter wards we were hailed again,
and the party commenced firing on ua. We

Ills heart, and another eomm-neirg at his (
throat, ai d passing ou* at the back of hie

after the vlllaiua had completed their crime

fence, like they would dead hog. ,
Duriug Sunday, a numbered o' colored ,
men were arrested, and intense excitement '
prevailed among the people. Towards {
night, reports eame In that an attempt '
would be made by the members of the mill*
tia com pa niee, to taks the prisoneta from
the jail, and the eonduet of many of the col
ored mm. gave reason to bslieve thers wss
some cause for the report; consequently a j
strong guard was plaeed at the jail. About i
eight o'clock it was discovered that a num 1
ber of men with guns were congregating at '
the house of Silas Hawkins, and a porse was
rent there to disperse them. On knocking |
si Hawkins' door, ths nosre was answered <
by a volley of muaketry from within, se? j
eerely wounding Mr. Dar.iel Finiih. Thie
Mt ao exa*pe*ale<J ih? men, that I hoy re
turned the fire, end wounded two of the 1
militia insid* of the hoita*. They then left
for reinforcements, and our worthy Intendant,
Mr- H L. Gore, and Col. I. G. McKis- '
dek, returned to the houre with them, |
and after much persuasion, were admitted.
Moot of the former inmates had left, but (
Lhoee remaining were arrested. I
The excitement during Monday waa aa ,
high aa the day befi>re ; and the euepieion (
that an attaek woold be made upon the jail, ,
prew stronger. About twelve o'clock at <
eight. Col. J. L. Young'a taWe. eituated j
about two tqaareo from the jail, and near j
the heart of the lawn, via aet on fire and ,
lestroyed, with a horse and sow, and a (
quantity of hay. The wind wae blowing (
hard, but fortunately towar>1a the oaly quar' ,
Ler wham the flamee could not reach other ,
[wilding*. Clreumslancff oeeurred during ,
[he fire, going far to eonvinoe every one ia |
[own that the fire waa eanaed for o purpo*t.
On Tuaaday morning, aulfieient proof

MM way implieatad in the murder ef Stev- I
