The trial and conviction of these] men fur the murder of Clayton S. Al-I Jlen near Lowndesville, on the 4th ofj December last, has beeu a matter of! great interest to our people aud lias | been thoroughly discussed in every quarter of the county. In fact no ease that lias ever beeu tried here has elicited from our people greater inter';est. Although ten men have been Ijtistly convicted there are at large still others who are more guilty if pos-! > Uible. One arch-scoundrel, aud it isl I believed the prime mover and instigator of the whole outrage is one lthodes, a straggling Georgia negro, who is now in jail. J?t is likely that the law or a committee of citizens will yet give him his dues.. On Monday after the conviction of ten of the murderers the foreman j wrote the following letter to General McGowan, the senior counsel for the defence: lettish from the foreman of tiik jury. Gen. McOowax?Dear Sir: Before leaving for home 1 drop you this note, ' to express to you, and tuovoung gentlej men engaged "with you in defence of the Lowndesville prisoners, my unqaliticd admiration of your and their devotion to the cause of justice and humanity. Your nohle eiforts could elicit no other response in the minds of right thinking peo- 1 , P1*'Whilst discharging the defined duties and obligations of a juror, 1 felt that my duty was plain, and that duty I have discharged. I would however cheerfully join in a prayer to the Court for clemency, hoping that it may see grounds for its exercise. In this I feel assured that all of those who sat with me on the jury ' would join. * Very respect fit I lv, C. C. LAW.

Willi an oxperien. c of four years upon (lie liench, and a practice of fifteen years at the liar, Ijhave never heard evidence more convincing to my mind, of a formed design ' to kill and murder. The prisoners had a I fair trial before a jury of four whites and , eight colored. My "duty has been discharged. The prisoners have been sen- j tended to be hung on the 20th of April next, and, so far, I see no cause to justify me in interfering with their execution. I am verv respectfully, THOMPSON H. COOKE. , From the above our readers may learn all that we know of the prisonera since their conviction, and of their chances of escaping the doom which seems to be awaiting them. From present indications we believe there is little probability of the sentence of {any one of then) being commuted. I The only reason that has ever been ,Iurged for executive clemency is the large numuer who nave wen convici|o*l. If it had been possible the jury i would not have convicted so many, I but from the evidence and the law it I was impossible to convict a smaller i number. Twelve 'were arraigned. I One was not convicted because it was 1 not clearly proved that he was present at the killing, though he was [nearby; another was acquitted, not that he was not as guilty as the rest, but because of his age?13 years. Death ot Mr. James If. Perrin. 'Ihis highly esteemed citizen died of consumption at his residence in this town on Sunday night last, in the 34th year of his age. The deceased was a man of education aud culture, and at one time contemplated the pursuit of the law, having been admitted to the practice of the profession in the State of Kentucky. Owing to his feeble /health however, lie left his native State and came to Abbeville soon after the war. when lie first engaged in the mercantile business in the house of Quarle9, Perriu & Co. Subsequently and up to the time of his death he was the junior partner of the firm of Parker & Perrin* In his life his conduct and intercourse with his fellow man reflected I all the nobler traits of the christian [gentleman, while his sterling worth and purity of character won the esteem and affectionate regard of all whose privilege it was to know him. He was of a retiring disposition and only those who knew him well could truly appreciate how good and true he was. IJeing a consistent member of the Methodist church, lie died in the hope of a glorious immortality, leaving no enemy behind him. > Jn all the relations of life his genial j and companionable nature shone with j a superior excellence, but it was with-1 in the family circle as sou, husband and father that his affectionate disposition was ftiost conspicuously manifest. A voumr wife, three little cliil dren, siu aged and grief-stricken father mourn his death, while many other relatives revere his memory. As an evidence of the high regard in which he was held in this community, we would mention, that all the business houses in the town were closed, and, on motion of a member of the liar, Court was adjourned during the funeral and burial services. lie was connected with the Silver Cornet Band, and the members acted as pal I-bearers. The impressive burial service of the Methodist church was read by the Rev. Mr. Wightman, in the hearing of a large concourse of citizcus who had assembled to pay tribute to the memory of a good man. At the conclusion of the services the remains were taken to the Episcopal cemetery, and in the presence of nearly every citizen of the village, as the sun sank behind the western hills all that was mortal of the deceased was lowered iu the grave. Accidental Death. On Sunday afternoon Mr. C. C. Smith, aged 30 years, son of Capt. Clias. Smith, of Cokesburv. met with ;? sudden death while riding on lior.sehaek. His horse stumbled throwing him in a gulley about seven feet deep ?the horse falling on him, immediately crushing him to death. Mr. Smith was riding alone, but was soon found by a colored man, who at once called Dr. F. K. Gary. When the negro found M*. Smith the horse was still mi his hack lying on the unfortunate young man. J t is supposed that Mr. Smith was instantly killed. An 111[juest was held by Trial Justiec Grayilon, and a verdict in accordance with the above facts was rendered. The genial nature and the exemplary conduct of thedcceased'made him a general favorite in the community who deeply mourn for his death, l ie was a member of the Methodist Church and at the time of his death was a Steward in the church, and trave promise of a brilliant future. The grief stricken-father has the hearty sympathy of many friends under this sad dispensation of Divine Providence. >?>? Col. Robert McKay. We had the pleasure of greeting in our oltice on yesterday afternoon our old friend "Uncle Dob," of the Orcenvillo Daily JVewtt, one of the most in-| dependent papers in the State.

He says the j only building he has recognized is the Alston House. Hurrah for Greenwood. The Special Agent, Capt. Perrin, spent last week at Ninety-Six, Greenwood and Hodges, collecting the Hampton tax. lie.informs us that he met with great encouragement, and j was very successful, especially at Greenwood where he says that his of? tico'was thronged with an enthusiastic crowd anxious to add deeds to words. At that, point his oflice was opened after two o'clock, and by 5 o clock he had accommodated ninetyfive tax-payers, receiviugthat evening $503. He continued to received contributions even after he had closed his ollice anif up to the very time of the starting of the train which was to carry him to his next appointment.. His receipts at Greenwood amounted lo the handsome sum of $r,271.2"> from ?7(i tax-Davers. Can auv townsliiu beat it. The Journal of Commerce. Mr. W. S. Fruser, of tlmt superb paper, the Journal of Commerce, was in town Monday ami Tuesday last, lie is traveling in the interest of that staunch Democratic journal which, he says, "was born straightout." This I daily which hails from the "City by the Sea," is a power in the State, having as its chief editor the former editor of the old Mcrcurt/, whoso prestige is all that the most ambitious could desire.

Trm Register, and the Journal of Commerce ami other papers are greatly exercised about the part these journals took in the State election. Gentlemen, it is not most important who proclaimed first the straightout policy but who fought best and did most to accomplish the desired result. Where all did so well, it is useless to discimiI nate. As far as we are able to judge all the contending papers did valient work. Mn. J. C. Thomson, a practical printer, has been associated with Mr. Bradley in the publication of the Pickent Sentinel. We welcome Mr. [Thompson Into the ranks of the poorI est paid and the hardest worked men in the country. If he is as good a man as we think, he deserves a better fate than become proprietor of a country newspaper. Mr. T. P.

Allen Who foil an 'innocent victim by the hands of a diabolical set of conspira. tors against the village of Lowndes' viHe on Monday night Dec. 4. It is a most crushing reality to his fond parents, and those who loved him 1 most, to know ho was the martyred victim against whom no envy or malice was given ; but like an innocent "Lamb traveling his own" green pasture over, on his native heath without spot or blame, wai ambushed and sacrificed, thereby rescuing others from a most cruel, heartless, and bloodcurdling fate, and how the hearts of those whose lives and property was on j ly awaiting destruction, muse uow m deep sorrow lor tlio loss of our noble one whose precious blood flowed freely in their midst, a ransom for their safety. Had death in a natural form entered the household and Jaid his wintry withering hand on him we mourn we would have felt, "God doeth all things well" and bowed submissively to his will, but oh! S3 hard under . these trying circumstances to say. "It is well," and feel a perfect resignation to the mournful tragedy which has blighted so many bright hopes. These murderers would have- quaked in shame and horror over the terrible deed perpetrated, could they have witnessed the anguish of those aged parents', when hearing foot-steps approaching, thinking their only sou, an almost idolized treasure, was coming, when instead, it was a messenger bearing the heartrending intelligence that Clayton was killed while riding along unaware of danger. The cruel volley poured forth and pierced his head and body, and there in the hard stony road, weltering in his own precious blood, lay the comforting "stall'" of his grief-stricken parents, the loved brother of three fond! sisters ?one a widow who was especially an object of tender care and deep sympathy to him, and all can fully attest to the faithful discharge ot his duty to her and her little ones. Had these cruel murderers have searched the country over for a victim that would make the deepest gloom in one household and bo most universally lamented we would say they had selected well, for death had entered their home scarce a year before "loosed the silver cord, broke the golden bowl" and took the eldest and first born son; the idolized husband; the kind and gentle father. Six mouths later the "white winged" messenger entered again and bore away a beautiful baby on whose waxen brow two summers j had scarcely set. IJeing a living image of her deceased father, she was the I lovely pet of grand parents, a "connecting chain" of lost love and happiness to her heart-broken mother. She seemed to know the grief that | filled the house with gloom and like a lovely visitant from the "beautiful shore," she petted and carressed each one, pointed them, as it were, to heaven, then took her flight to God, there to await and welcome, "Claytie" her pet Uncle. As a friend too much cannot be said. Clayton's absence makes truly an "aching void" none can ever fill. The tearful eyes, the quivering lips, the eager determination to seek out anil bring to justice those wiio iiau cast this dark gloom, showed too plainly how his friends and comrades in this our dearly bought Democracy, loved and honored liiiu. In all the meetings of the past campaign he was among the first to join, although his health was very feeble. He would lir-e as it were from the verge of death ami go, though his pule face and weak form showed his inability to serve bis country; but buoyed with bright hopes of future deliverance from Judical bondage, he shared with his comrades the many successes of tho political meetings and was ever the "centre star" of true manhood and intrinsic worth. The Lowndesville club, of j which he was a loved member, felt they had in him a true patriot, one whoso noble heart beat in unison with theirs, whose strong arm and lirm baud never quailed, and whose manly form had never made one retrograde step from danger, and his merry laugh and bright chcerfuljdisposition threw a ray of sunshine in their midst. We who have known Clayton from his early boyhood days can trace with memory's linger the bright pages of his short life here and find nothing to throw a snauow or shame on his spotless charactcr; all regarded him as one whose truthfulness, honesty, and lirmness was almost without parallel. Truth sat a bright diadem on his brow, honesty placed her matchless star therein, firmness lent an additional lustre, and charity threw her beautiful mantle around to protect and show to the world his excellent moraf qualities. He loved the church, and most highly esteemed God's people, and his seat was rarely ever vacant there, his voice often mingled in singing praises to God, and toI day our hearts feel the deepest pain in knowing that his voice is now hushed and will never swell aji eatbly anthem again. Darling one, we have laid you in vour deep, dark, and silent grave, but your precious memory is hallowed and sacred to us. May God in his great ruercy, help us to bear this dark and mournful stroke, which so suddenly blighted his and our brightest earthly joys and withered our most sauguine hopes. Monterey. G.
