Ever since his entrance Into the stockade , ohatn-gtuig lour wwks agx?. jiwurw} mis been on the sic!c list and unable to work, us our last week's report stated. Ills apparently weak, suffering and dying condition melted oven the hard heart* of the guards, and they at last allowed him on Thursday night to go with only his shaekleson into the sick-tent. The night-guard took his regular rounds at the end of each hour, and up till one o'clock all was well, Presently a dog in the yard barked: the guard walked around to see if anything whs wrong: and one of the sick negroes reported that the siek white man was gone. A diligent search was made In vain. McGarvey had escaped. He was recognized and arrested by some negroes in the neighborhood of Abbeville on Sunday and was taken by policeman Alfred to the jail where he now lies. Alfred reports that he inn at full speed to escape recapture. Gen. Dradlcysent for him yestorday. but sherilF .Jones thinks he ought to keep him and send him to Co-! lumbia, it being considered l>y some good authorities thatpenitentlnry convict? should i>e received directly from the county Sheriff by the Superintendent of the penitentiary?that to send them from the county fail to the | stockade was not according to the requirement* of law. After making hlsescape from the stockade, it seems that McGarvey took the Georgia di-! rection and was seen in the vicinity of Dorn'sj Mlno. He then turned and was making for! the Laurens' lino when he was caught. lie 5 gives terrible accounts of the cruelty and ' hardships of the stockade. In doing so lie I does not blame General Bradley nor Mr. Cahlll, but the subordinate "bosses" who hej says are mean whites that treat convicts like! brutes. He docs not think the account pub- [ lished In last week's Prexx and Honner was j I "thewhole truth."' He thinksuenemi jirsu-, ley himself does not know the whole truth, j The Crops?Abundance of Grain. | If any one has little faith in the prosperity ! of Abbeville county, let him get in to a buggy j and drive from llodges Depot to Ninety-Six by way of Cokesbury and Simms' Cross! Heads. During that ride he will see evidences on every side of the industry, common-! tense and success of the farmers in the low-1 cr portion of the county,?of their industry I displayed in the number of acres under culti-l vat-ion, of the general thrifty appearance of j their farms; of their comnionsense in believ- j ing in wheat and oats as well as In cotton;! and of their success as seen in the endless j succession of fertile fields yellow with beau-1 tlful crops of waving grain, ready for the I Fickle. Thegrain country begins Just beyond > Ookesbury, and It continues with scarcely any interruption all the way to Ninety-Six. The crop of oats is unusually heavy and sound, while that of wheal Is exceedingly good. The letter grain bear* mark* here and ! there of having been attacked by rust, but, as j the farmers themselves say, the latecold spell i helped the wheat to withstand to a great ex- I tent the evil influence of rust, and the yle'd ; will still be very good. In that region there arc many fields or oats that will yield forty I to fifty bushels to the acre. One young farmer has over one hundred dcres In grain, and I he will reap twenty-five or thirty bushels to | lhe acre on an average. All along the road,; one seas groups of reapers, cradle in hand, J busily engaged in cutting down the grain. Good cradlers In that region are earning two i dollars a day. The general appearance of the j farms betokens subsrancial prosperity. The abundant grain-crops mr?n plenty of bread ' Sor man and fodder for beast. Tho prospect for corn is good, but the stand j of cotton is not. very encouraging. A good many farmers have had to replant, and those who did not have to look on the numerous gaps In the cotton rows. The cut-worm in- j fests every acre of cotton, and is proving very | destructive. Tho wheat-fly has not done much damage. Amusement?Abbeville Court Housed Thursday Night, May 30. The* Southern Tourists' Concert; In- j strumcntai and vocal, operatic and elocutionary. sentimental and comic; by a celebrated Blind Concert Company | of talented young ladies and gentlemen. graduates of Georgia, Alabama, and | Mississippi Institutions for the Blind. Ad-j mission & cents; children 10cents. The Marion Merchant and Fanner says, "their comicalities are indeed unexpected, and doubtless allord rreat amusement to many of the audience who would not bo so] well entertained by music alone. Their ob-j lect is to raise money to found a home for the; blind in the Sooth. They deserve to be well patronized, as well for the excellence of their | entertainment as theobject of their mission." I Dangf.uous Bridge.?AVe had the oppor- j, tunity of inspecting the railroad bridge at! Ix)iig Cane a few days aso and were perfectly ., astonished at the dangerous condition in h wtiicb It has been for a long time. The span | ] at this creek is about one hundred and thirty . feet, and is supported by framed timbers at nach end. This bridge was built in :nw, and hence lias been standing more than twenty J years. A few weeks ago Mr. Nicely, who is a |! bridge builder on this railroad, discovered its i real condition and at once reported the fact j j by telegraph to Col. Dodameade, when Mr. ( Nicely was ordered to put in the ueecled tiin-,, hers immediately. It was discovered that j " ?" ' ! ),?? nr.rli.lif nn^fs MlSi: 1 !lllli I ttie bridge were entirely rotted oil' aLihe bottom, and that the others were very much de- j caycd; so much so, in fact, that In taking', them down they fell to plbees. Only a short ; time before >Ir. Xlct-iy discovered thedangerous condition of the bridge, It is said mat I Mr. Young, whose business It is to e.\nniiu<-1 such structures, reported the bridge to Col. Dodaiuoade as perfectly safe, which we think J jff>esf to show how much reliance is to be , placed on the judgment of experts In brldgebulldlng. We are surprised that the bridge welching over a hundred tons, had not fallen j of its own weight. The bridge is worth about ! thirty thousand. ( C. P. ft'LiiVAS is still on McGarvey's track. Ilo went to Anderson recently to get some evidence in reference ton pipe which it I is alleged belonged to McGarvey and was found in the house of the Franklins. Many I have asked as to the probability of his guilt I of the murder of these old people. We know i littlo of the evidence ourselves, but we heard ! 1 Judge Mackey say, while holding Court hereji j that "there was not against him evidence j i sufficient to try him. I: We aro indebted to the conrtesy of Mr. ! Parraugh, the efficient track layer or the I Abbeville Branch for a ride on the "crank' car" last Monday. Col. I'ope, of 8]>eirjliL* |1 Daily and Mr. J. C.

Governor Hampton has been invited and we learn wni be present unless some unexpected circumstance shall prevent him from honoring the invitation. During a recent visit to Anderson we parsed the handsome residence of Mr. B. F. Crayton, the most progressive farmer in Anderson County. The people of Anderson county! are greatly Indebted to Mr. Crayton and to! Maj. Whitner, for the inestimable blessings j which follow the abolition ol'the o>d fence law. I Mb.

H., S. C., May IX.?This fink*! village was thrown into a furor of excitement I to-day by a highly sensational elopement and the subsequent murder of one of the run.-t- j i ways. I For several months Col.

Ida was only 2',and Inul recently] Kraduated at a Northern female seminary. X'he girl's father, who is a staunch old Democrat, objected to the attentions shown his I daughter by her aged, but ardent, admirer,; more on account of Ills political faith than! because of any objection in the disparity in j the ag s of the lovers or IJuJd's social *] 0->i-j tioll. Night before last the lovers determined to consummate their happiness by an immediate marriage. To avoid tiie wrath oi the I girl's father, Budd proposed an elopement. j1 which.was readily accecded to by the girl, who, strange to tell, was madly infatuated] with her aged betrothed. That night a pair of saddled horses were in waiting at the liruhneli mansion. At the witching hour of , midnight, Hudd and his bride elect, accompa-1 nied by a male friend, were gallopping away | at break-neck speed in the direction of the Tennessee line In which State the marriage | ceremony was to take place. All would have j gone well but for the perfidy of the girl's , waiting-maid, to whom she had coniided her j plans. As soon as the theclopingcouple were ; pretty well on the way. this negro girl In- ! formed tier master of what had taken place. [ Old Iirunlell had ahorse saddled, and arming ! himself with a double-barreled shot gun, was soon in hot pursuit of the tleeing lov- , crs. 1 About 1 o'clock yesterday morning he over- ' took them near;a place called J-ordsham | (.Crossing, and hailed Mudd, warning him that ! if he did not stop and give up his daughter ' he would kill him.

Another Revenue Outrage. < We are informed by a responsible party , that 0:1 Saturday, the -tth inst.. a party of j, Revenue officials went to the house of \Vil- j liain Walker, who lives In the Kastotoe section of this County, and took him from a sick j, bed, tied his arms together, put him behind j one of the parly on a horse and tied him to 11 keen him from falling off', as he was too sick 1 ( to sit 011 the horse alone or untied, and car- L riedhitn to Walhallain the midst of a terri- I, blerain.

The Jury in arivincat their division certainly could not ers v lave considered the question of henetits as Li10 ceil as that of datnaves. According 1o his niderstandingoi the law, they should have folio it1V<-t the benefits against the damages. The > ssessinont? for damages were altogether too ' dgli, and the Hoard ought not to submit to Gr hem. It was well known that hardly .. iiongh money had hen'i subscribed to build he road, and the Hoard certainly could not Sn il!brd to pay heavy damages. The fact was. ... lie road would benefit-most of the property. '* t would certainly enhance the value of mill f:|] itOson i?r. Marker's land. Mr. W. Jsitiley agreed with Messrs.

He didn't think ihercshould beany appeal from that. .Mr. May said lie thought EVKN THAT WAS TOO HIGH. riie land was benefited more than it was -t q lamagcd by the building of the road. It was { 1 small amount, but the Hoard should not be mail imposed upon by anybody. It seemed to ,,ver him that everybody should do ail they could c<11|i to furl her this enterprise. Mr. Heckle's land l|ie f I.ad been valued at S1S0 per acre, and it would ,iav not bring $7.3 if put upon the market. No ,iuei man in Augusta wovld clve it unless for some | \\-r special purpose. Property Is depredated and (jra, there Is no market, for it. Nobody wants to t ij(, buy It. The Hoard should not sit cjuict'y and J j.-,, not raise their voices against these assess- j (;r men Is. He was not willing to pay one cent j j>u more than the land was worth. _> j;,, Col. Barrett said be was as much opposed to J hnvinfr thn oc i?nc M ?

It was to the Interest of the city of Aunusta that It should be constructed. A road will SOON nn CONSTRUCTED From Cincinnati to Knoxvllle, and If the Augusta and Knoxvilie Uoad was carried on, as tlrst Intended.
