Newspaper Page Textmiwimib aum* CAROLINA SPARTAN.! AND SDICIOK. Since our last issue, a case involving circumstances of deep and exciting interest lias been developed in our very midst?exciting in every detail from the beginning, but doubly more so in the tragieni issue. Our readers will remember to have seen, Komo time since, an advertisement in the Watchman, by our townsman Col. b\ J. Moses, of two slaves who were missing from his premises. Their long absence, which could not bo accounted for on the score of any provocation or indignity offered them, or of any expressod dissatisfaction on their part, taken in connection with the mystori- ; ous disappeaiance, some time before, of a negro boy of another one of our citizens, soon induced the belief iu the minds of j most persons that they were stolen. Yuri- 1 ous circumstances fixed the suspicions of 1 tho community upon a particular individu Hi. The matter wn< kept still, liowovgi, t?-r ! some time, until at last, after so.no finest- 1 ing, n sufficient clue was obtained to the ; whereabouts of the negroes to warrant a gentleman of our t6wn in taking a trip to tlio town of Americas, in tlie lower part of 1 Goorgiu. Arrived there, he was not long j in discovering tiro person to whom they . had been sold, and in identitying the no- 1 groes. The purchaser, Mr. Hooks upon being convinced that ho had been victimized, readily yielded them up, and, upon the suggestion of the gentleman who had gone in quest of them, consented to-return with him to this place. They arrived hero on Tuesday evening, the 8th inst. After ! some delay in making out tlio necessary papers, Mr. Hooks, accompanied by our efficient sheritr and others, strolled by the now store of Byrd tfc Louis. It was brilliantly lighted up, and was filled with a jolly company. Immediately and without hesitation, Mr. llooks declared that in the person of William Friendly Byrd lie ro | cognised the individual from whom he had j purchased the slaves. The sheriff then en- ' terod tho store, accompanied by a friend of Mr. Ilooks. Tolling him that there was some dissatisfaction about the titles to ecr- ' tain property that he had sold, ho was ensile nersiimlod lo m.-ilrn fnnfiworm ..f i ?J I ? " * ' * V1 J'"'b ment. It is said that lie tinderslood the allusion to bo to another transaction; bttl , of that we cannot speak. This accomplished, the sheriff produced a warrant, arrested him on the charge of negro stealing, r.nd lodged him in jail. The Grand Jury ro turned a verdict of'true bill' on the indictment, on the next day, and the prisoner was at once arraigned. I Jut, at the request of his attorneys, the trial was postponed until Monday. In the meantime Cnpt. Frierson, the sheritT, observed every precaution for the safe keeping of the prisoner, lie was confined in a dungeon and chained to the tloor. There are no iron cutis for the ankles in the jail, and accordingly it was nccos.-aiy to | bind a common chain about his ankle and secure it with a padlock. It will bo seen . at a glance, that it is impossi. lo to adjust the unpliaut iitiks very closely to the limb without injury to it. (Still, he urns thought to be securely bound. This was deemed necessary, at first, from several considera- 1 lions, but especially so afterwards, when thero were good reasons to believe that lie meditated mischief upon himself. A note ' to his wife, written in pencil, on the margin of a newspaper, was intercepted. In i it, ho implored her to send him strychnine , or laudanum, saying that lie wished to <lie; that the whole world was against him; that j the sheriff had confined him so closely that i ho could see no ono out of his presence. On Monday morning, when llio jailor opened the door of the cell to give ihe 1 prisoner his breakfast, lie was stuitied with : a horrid spectacle. Suspended from the iron grating of the window, with a sheet twisted into a rope and lied about his nock, was the unfortunate man?dead. 1 -y dint of hard squeezing, of which his feet afterwards showed tho marks, ho had forced them from the loop of the chain. The rest was easily done, lie climbed to tin win dow, fastened tho sheet to one of the bnis; passed a slip-knot over his head; tied his feel; secured his hands behind his hack with a handkeichiuf; and leaped to the lloor. Immediately upon the dise very a physician was called in, hut he was beyond the reach of remedy. Miserable man! A jury of inquest v. an <-mpauneled by Coroner Nettles, am! a vordic* rendered in accordance with ..ic circumstance* that we have detailed.?Sumtrr Wu/cAmm/m. A Lb iter from Harxum. - Harmim thus writes to the editor tho rrovidciuc Journal: "I have no dedro to extenu.do my f.mi'.s, hut I never knowingly wronged any man. Mv hum lull's were fatten an !ii<?re t' >r Ml . fun of the thing' than anything else. I always strove to in ilce my patrons / I that they got their money's w.?it!?, and it* thev thought they did, they* did, f >r 'a- a man thiukelh, so he is.' I loved to make money, hut not better than I loved to spend it. I gavo $20,000 pot annum in charity for the last ten years, and if 1 had not been a jdcl'ns, impulsive and cnnji Vi.Kj, 1 should not liavo been ruined. 1 havo paid and secured all my personal debts, "iVoied c'.ork creditors $100,000 to craso my name from nil Jerome paper, hut they have proved logger asses than I was, for they, l?v rofu slwg it, locked up trsy property, forced me immense sacrifices in order to pay my piivnto debts, and thus they get nothing from my estate, and 1 lose all. "I havo no ambition to 'try again,' for what is the u?o, when $100,000 are hanging over my head! I can always earn mv living, and shall try for nothing more. It is hard at my timo of life to lose all, but I trilst I can muster sufficient philosophy to ' enable tnc to bear up under it." "Lay ox Macduff."?The editor of the fipnrtnnburg Express and "Viator," a cor respondent of l'i\o Spartan, arc engaged in a sharp and pungent discutaion upon the Siato appropriation to the South Carolina College. "Viator" recently published a communication in which no adverted to the institution, and hnmllod it with "gloves off." This called forth a defence of tho institution from the Express, and tho result is a lively and interesting discussion. <>tir sympathies arc with \ intor, and wo rejoice that tho discus-ion of tho subject I ins been common cod. We aro always open to conviction, nnd if tiiO friends of tho institution can sustain the e\p? lieney of tho present appropriations, wo for oiio would join in with lliein, and forever after "hold our pence." Hut this lias not been done, and with all respect to the talent and ability of i tho opposite parly, wo doubt if it c .n be j 'done.? Anilctsoii ti-irrtte. L ? hi i miii i ji. wijii w Judge Butler and his Accusers. It is sought to bo urn Jo fashionable iu ! South Carolina just at this tinio to nrraign ' our esteemed Senator, Hon. A. P. Duller, for inconsistency of conJuct and impurity of motives. Beside tho Kludie.l attacks of the Evening .Veirs and Charleston Mercury, philippics have latterly* been fulminated agaiust him from Columbia and from Uuionvillc. Cue or two other minor ma chines havo caught tip the javelins hurled by their bettergrown models, with the vain desire to bring down the towering eaglo from his pride of place. It is gratifying to see that these efforts have fallen in their iucipiency and are likely, if they produce any effect whatever, to recoil upon those who originated thcin. Whrfl has been tho political crimo of Senator Butlerl No question seriously implicating either the honor or the intercuts of his Slate has hero demanded that lie should speak out with llio authority of a leader and a guide. The policy of going into tho Cincinnati Convention is to bo ngm-.d, and has been argued, as a matter of propiiety and good sense. No issuo is necessarily involved in it that should call forth from our congressmen warnings of peril at hand. It is accompanied by no dangers from w ithout nor symptoms of revolution within. It is a peaceful measure of Stuto policy, threatening neither our happiness nor our reputation. And as such wo hold it lo be one of those mat tors upon which it would be well for the people to decide for themselves. Tlni head and ftont '.hen of Judge Butler's offending has been that, while leaving his high-minded and intelligent constituency to adopt such action iu the premises as their patriotism might suggest, he has yet ventured advice for the purpose of imparting to any delegation South Carolina may send to Cincinnati as much responsibility as can bo given to it l y the judgment and influence of our most experienced citizens. Where is his de/clictiou of duty here? wheie his inconsistency I Judge Butler has not from the first given encouragement to a representation iu ihe Democratic Convention. And still he has regarded it as one of those tilings from which he might without impropriety stand in somu measure aloof, at least to tho extent of retraining f...... ...... .......lu.i f .~ ..a! .:..i ^! oiij uuviiiivu i* i uiiiei.ii piuimucia mcnto against the views of a largo and respectable poi lion of his people. In piivato i;c has spoken his sentiments candidly upon this subject. I'.eforo leavir-g for WashingIon in November last wo heard him thus express himself. And we doubt not, if he had been properly called upon, that his views would havo been readily given through the press at any time. If some of his fellow-citizens choose now to regard his omission to push his opinions on litis question before the people of South Carolina (asked or unasked) in the light of a heinous delinquency, a tar greater number of thorn, wo ate sure, will approve his di crction and sustain his coiltao. Some men there are in South Carolina who are continually croaking about the falling olf of good principles and good manners in our State; and yet, when occasion prompts them, they can exhibit evidences of as rapid declension as the rest. It has been a custom amongst us, call it "litnolionorod" if \ o like, to revereneo ago and intogiity, especially when connected with lottg and laborious public services. And yet for slight cause, it i-> now attempted to impugn the motives of as noble and disinterested a he it as ever heat for the honor and weal of the J'almetto State; ami this, loo, when the individual is one whose lifeand strength have been well -nigh exhaust* < d in ilie employment of that State. The demonstration needs no comment. Wc inake no charge of unworthy intentions upon those who have thought it right thus to assault our Senator. They aie gentlemen, abore all trickery and dishonesty. ISut, unwittingly, they aro indicting upon an old servant a grievous wound?a wound of the rpiiit, which might perhaps g.> fuither towards bowing his gray itairs into the grave than all the toils of many years. And'wo call upon them, l?v every motive of i'almctlo fellowship ami Palmetto generosity, to delist their ill timed attack .? Edgt ti Id Advertise r. An exceedingly interesting ease lias l.een decided hy the I'tiilcd States Supremo Court. Win. Wells was convicted of murder and sentenced to ho hting. l're-ident I'illinore granted him a pardon in these word4: "Sentence of death is hereby commute 1 hy impri-nimont for lilo in the peiiilcntiarx of the iJistrict of <'oluiuhia." litis pardon was formally accent( 1 hv Wells, and r.ow his counsel contend that "tho 1'resident has no power to grant conditional pardons?that the pardon is absolute ami the condition void." The ca<o was carried to the Supreme Court from below on appeal. 'I his is ihe (iis-t time that the Executive prerogative to grant pardons was ever brought under review hy the highest federal judici Tho Court decided that the power ; ! . rest somewhere, or she joliti c.d morality of the government would be most impelled. Tho constitutional power must be construed with reference to the laws and customs in force at thn dale of ihc constitution; and hence tl*o words of the constitution convoy to the mind tlio j>;?rdoning power a* cxerciv. d by the Crown of Knglaud. I-Otl. iierc and there the word pardon means the panto thing, as has already boon decided by this Court; and the power to grant is unlimited, and may ho Coupled with any conditions not. of them* selves unlawful. If tlio conditions be not complied with by tho criminal, then the pardon is void. The same powers ex ten I to tho Coventors of States unabridged by statute. Justice Curtis gave a dissenting opinion on the point of jurisdiction. As tho judg n>ent of the circuit court was final in a crimi nal matter, it was absurd in the Supreme Court to review the proceedings of a court whoso judgment it could not chango.

The treaty was signet 12 1-2 o'clock on Sunday, tho Emp? having previously given his final instrueti to Count Walowski. Tho English Parliament would reass ble on tho 31st. Lord Paltnorstou, in swer to n question as to tho condition tho treaty, replied that they would not mado public till ratifications wcro exclin ed, at the same time expressing the O] j ion that tho terms would bo satisfactory j England and to Europe. Lord Pahuorston said that the object tho war had been fully accomplished, integrity and independence of the IVi Empire had been secured, and n tr< honorable to all parlies effected. Tho n of peace was duly honored in England official demonstrations, but the people ceived it with no enthusiasm.

Our highly respectable reformer of fen attire, seeming disposed bashfully to clitic the honor of Iter own bright int i lion, her followers have rashly denomini her masculine progression towards trowsors a Turkish costume. The wot of Turkey are proverbially the most ir est iti tho world. But Mrs. Bloon I somewhat extraordinary compound breeches and petticoats does not resen the extremely modest dhgui.se in wl Tuikish ladies are wont to inutile th I . . ? .. .. . j scivcs 111 ilie street. A principle dearo i every Turkish woman than her hopc< , heaven is scrupulously to veil her from the eyes of every man, save tlios Iier own husband. This lesson she earl learns; religion and fashion unite in pressing it on her after years, ami ! preserves it through life most sacre j Ajtpt'iranceK in Turkey aro as in 1 thought of as in more civilized oouuli If thus modest about her /ace, it is scan necessary to say how religiously she h I other portions of her person which innate delicacy of every female must ' her should bo concealed. With her ' mysteriously bundled up, the Turkish 1 man is, in public, enveloped in a 1 shapeless gown. And yet worthy !

And who is Mr-. Bloomer i they should give tliem up now? brightest of our country's virti ' is chastity of every woman, and a petlieo; its natural safeguard.

The county of Spartanburg, m oar district wai hen railed, was laid off in tho year 1785 l?y the allowing statutory worJs: "One other county, bounded by Laurens county n the north, the indiau lino on the wvstward, **i?rth Carolina boundary and I5r< ad Kivcr to rates' Ferry, thence along the rood to .John Ford's limitation on Knorec river, iiiolnding tho ?un>e,sud hall be culled by tho nntue Of Spartanburg." The render will perceive from the wordn used n creating tliis country that several others must inve been designated by certain boumlaiici and orined iu'o counties at the Mtnc time. Which is rue: as Union, Laurens, Newberry, Abbeville, Edgefield and S|inrtar>burg were then constltated md individualised out of the district then called S'iucty-8ix. It will nlso appear, and that is rather aniarknblc, that the larger divisions of the State vere called districts and the subdivisions counties. This name county continui d as the designativa erin of the smaller divisions until tho year 1798. )ur political denomination Spartanburg was conerred upon our district then for the first time, 'ootcrior to this date it was called Spartan. Ilow he name originated I have no nx-ttns of M<*ruining, and cannot recollect if I ever heard it. Mills, in his Statistics of South Carolina, says, iponking of the settlement of our Histrict: "That his section of country was settled between 1750 ind 1700, but from its interior and exposed sit union it did nut mueli increase in p?>pulatii>n until iboot 177U. Tho first settlers were from Virginia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. Their depenhince for support in the first instance was on hautng, and the game was so abundant that no diffivuly existed ill this respect. "The original name of half of this district was Jravtn county, of North Carolina. Attcrwards it mis included in Ninety-Six district. The name of rparmnburg wos given it after the Hcvolntionary War.'' So mueh for statistical nceoutil by the tufhor (quoted, and which we presume in the ma n s accurate, although in some instances Ills prophecies have not been verified, and his opinion* may l>fc regarded n.i strikingly ttlcpian For instance, niter r marking that tins district afford* the onlv jbstruetions to the extension of tho navigation of Broad river to the mountains, he says that the bdureatioiis of l'ooolvt are called North and South;" that the latter sweep* a circle between the Tyger and Mill Rots mountain," with a principal branch called Liwsoii's Fork, which Ilow* "witliin a short distance of the Court House, and might be nude to form the medium of a navigable < cininunicatiou between the village and I'aenlct."
