Co., of fireenwood, were moving and straighten-1 inn their poods they discovered a trap; door in the door under the counter. That, led them to a more thorough search when j another trap door was discovered in an ' adjoining room, where the groceries arej kept. The trap doors were nicely cut and carefully fitted, and hinged on one side, while the other side was held nn by u large "button,"?the whole being done fco artistically as not to bo observed except by careful examination. After the discovery, a member of the firm watch<xl. every night, until Ssturday laijrlit. when1 Mr, Joel S. Bailey was on guard, he I heard *01110 one under the house between 1 eight arid nine o'clock. Mr. Rtiley was ' sitting at the trap door under which the; person lielnw the floor had passed on his > Way to the otiier door. Thinking thatj annthor party would come through the; Vloor at which ho was watching, lie re-; mained at his post and allowed the tlnef, who had just passed under him, to come up through the other door. Whilo Mr. ; Bailey was waiting for the second person 1 to come in at the door where ho was watching, the person already inside, came! to the door which connected the two store rooms, where he stood and looked for. a second. After that the depredator com-, menced moving the desired goods to the open trap door through which he had en-, tered. Mr. Bailey hearing nothing of the approach of a second thief, moved to-! vard the door of the room where the thief was at work removing goods, Mr. j Bailey, striking a match, saw the thief, and tired his shot gun in the direction of the open trap door, the whole load lodg-1 ing in a pieoe of bacon which had been placed there for removal. Mrv Bailey then made a rush to the trap door, eating the thief to the place of his exit. , A perfect silence ensued for sometime, \vheti Mr. Bailey heard a noise, and at the second effort to tiro his pistol, the 1 load was discharged. Immediately the answer came, "Don't shoot any more.? You have wounded me." Mr. Bailey', then seized him, and led him toward thej door, when one of his partners, hearing 1 w-' the shooting, came to his assistance with ] A light, and vory much to their surprise,;, they found the thief to be a white man, S named tt. J. Carr. He i* a one armed I man, his hand having been cut off before j lie moved to Greenwood from Hamburg, j is. C? last Fubruary, and it is said that he j, moved to Hamburg from a place near1! Wilmington, North Carolina. His! I arm just above the olbow was so badly shattered by the shot, that the physicians i deemed amputation necessary. Ors. J. j < . Maxwell and J. B. Ilughev performed 1 the operation soon alter the wounding, j Carr acknowledges his guilt, and says! that he had used the trap door frequent-! Iv, and that he had in the aggregate taken about $500 or SMI worth of goods. He ' ? - I .....I ? . implicate* .us iiroiuer-ui-inv, ?. ? ??. Volored man named Joe Ligon. The!I two latter are now hi jail at Abbeville, ! ' while report hatb it that Carr is lying at ' his home in Greenwood in a dying con- j ditiou. j! Carr has worked energetically and in*i <riu8triou*>ly ever since his arrival at that j place, and Ills conduct was such that no one doubted his good character. He had i! tented a lot from Mr. Reynolds, and put , } lip a new buildidg on it, in which he was 1 putting an engine and machinery prepar-! J atorv to ginning the cotton crop.

After he was J ? \vounded he gave up several dollars' |' worth of goods which he had carried off on a previous visit?* ham, some home- j' ?pun cloth, a few pairs of shoes, and per- \ | Jiap* some other articles. 11 He acknowledges t'? have fixed the!' trap doofs on a Sunday, taking the|J hinges and screws for the doors from the j! stork of goods in store. The strangest part of the whole matter, t Is, that none of the goods which had been 1 taken, had been missed from the store. I j Visitors at Lilll.' Mountain. !

The nejitness ami care with which the buildings lire kept, and the taste and labor which are directed to the beautifying of the surrounding ground, combine to bring the Iiroof of happiness and thrift in that louschoid. The Crops and the Weather. In many sections of our county the, Upland corn is almost lost, and the bot- j torn corn will be very light. The cotton crop, though never a failure, will lack j much of being a full crop. In a few sec-1 lions all the crops are good, but this con- | dition is an exception to the rule. In j our opinion the prospects are anything else than encouraging. Thk Governor has pardoned Bettie; Jones who plead guilty at the last term of our Court to assault and battery with intent to kill. At the end of two months imprisonment in the jail, she is pardoned. A righteous act of the Executive. Mrs. K. II.

A friend will prepare an appropriate tribute to her memory, and we will only announce her death this week. Tiik interesting letter fr?m London, and Dr. Grier's sermon are crowded out again this week.

I Dr. Campbell, of this city, hei ieves that filtra- j tion is liable to dimmer, because of the ah- | sorption of poisonous matter by the elements used In this process, and lie therefore prefers precipitation of the fluid with alum. At any rate, there seems to bo little doubt that the I principal cause of cholera ami kindred coin-1 plaints is impure water used for drinking or cooking purposes. It follows, as a'l Inevitable sequence, that the first duly ??f a municipal government is to secure a perfectly wholesome and ahuiioant water supply, and to' guard It against Infection from any and all ' causes. A New Orleans physician, ns we sl owed ! some days ago, insisted that I'.'iln or cistern I witter was admirably adapted fo purposes of health, equalled only t>y the pine woods spiinss. ,\s we cannot always depend upon | rain water or the fountains of the country, j our citizens must look to the obtuiumcnt of; their supply in oilier ways.

It. affords relief In nausea, (sick headache, sour stomach, tic., generally | ; very promptly. At a recent" medical gathering at ('hlc,ig>. Dr. K. M. Ilale read a paper on the subject of! Cholera contending for copper as a specific.' I'oth schools of medicine appear to have champions tor this remedy. Fifty years ago Hahnemann wrote: "The Use of copper, combined with a mild and regular regimen, and cleanliness, is the most Certain and eftljcacions preventive." He adds! "It has been proved in Hungary that a nlatc of copper j i worn next to the skin will preserve one | j from the Infection, as I have been assured by i several authentic reports from that country." Dr. Bnrq, a famous allopathic physician, is j said to have ascertained Mint the application of copper to the limbs. In the form of rings, is a certain means of causing the cramps in cholera patients to cense immediately, and often nil the serious symptoms which accomlimnythem vanish at the same tltne. j During the cholera epidemics of 1832 and i 1S40, Dr. Hurt) discovered that, workmen in j j copper and brass had almost complele Immu- i nlty from the scourge, only deaths having 1 occurred among 11,500 persons, some of whom ; were attacked and killed by the disease when ! abandoning their foundries. We have no ; |lme or space to go over the reports made by i j Dr. Burq and summarized by Dr. llaie, but I simply state the practical deductions: Durl tttg cholera epidemics the metal copper, or | | preferably Its alloys, brass and bronze, should i he worn next to the skin as extensively as i possible; nlso that large sheets of these metals | ; should be hung on the walls of the living I ! rooms of residences. He also advises that the ; metal should he snuffed up the Nostrils iu the ! \ form of very fine powder. i It appears that I>r. TJurq, after thirl v years j j of experience, still clings to t>Jk theory, and I has published .111 account of It in the Medical I j iiorord of Paris. Dr. Hale assenting to the leading principle 1 of Pr. Hiiro's theory, which Hahneinan is! claimed I" have first expounded, ventures to ' suggest that cities ami other communities j I might be protected from ttie ravases of the dread visitor if the public health authorities I would devise some means whereby copper or I j its preparations could be volatilized In large i | quantities, so as to saturate the atmosphere.! I If this method could not beextended to the : open air. it might he Utilized in tlie resij dcllces of all clashes alike. Or it can he ensily applied to the water supply of the communities. when all the water was supplied from | one common source, as is now generally the 1 cft*e. In such ca?e the amount of copper in I each gallon of water need only lie minute in ; quantity, so minute that >10 possible Injury could accrue from its Influence over any person of any ace. pr. Hale adds that the public and many! medical men have false notions of the Infill-: ence of this metal. It has been found that It!, is not poisonous, except In large quantities. | In small appreciable, and even most minute doses. It ranks with iron and itianganese as a 1 lncmatic and nerve tonic. Ill other words, it enriches the blood, increases the powers of digestion and asslmllatiop. gives tone tr?! tiie nervous system, and stimulates the vital I forces. Aside, then, he says, from Its supposed I power as a destroyer of morbltlc germs, or 1 any specific antagonism which copper may ; have ov?-r cholera. It may possess a general; influence of a benign character over the Inl man organism which will enable it to resist thoohset of malignant epidemics. It might not tie a bad idea. If these theories be correct, to discover a mineral spring rich in copper elements. At this time, es|>eclally, such water would be popular ami beneficial. A ft lack "Colonization" of Lotfer South Carolina. [AVir.t and Courier.1 A curious report reaches us from private sources in Washington to the effect that the colored leaders there, who are constantly harping upon the fancied wrongs endured by j their race, have determined upon a grand ; "Colonization" scheme, looking to a complete j separation from the white people in all iheir j relations. mis wnicn u a> nrsi mourn- i od in ttic winter of IS , has been steadily I gainingsttengthof late. Senntor Hurler's re cent speech ut Mnrion, it Is wild, hasadded fuel to the lire, ?nd hn? brought many leailinc I colored men into the movement who hiive I hitherto held aloof. It Is even stated that I Fred. Douglass, who claims ttic foremost pUt' C anions his race in Amerlrft. has given i his approval to the scheme, and that lie will lend his ettorts to its successful ftfcotnpllshment. However all this may he. It Is certain | that a secret colored organization has berni, formed In Washington which htts for ils sole j object the Colonization of the negroes in certain sections of the South and in other parts of the country. Many of the members of this organization now hold (iovemmcnt odlcefl and nre enlisted heartily In the work. The meetings of the League are held in out of the way places in Washington and are conilncti'd wit'i great .sccrecy. It Is the purpose of the! schemers to maintain this secrecy until they i have finally determined upon a plan nine-! tion and have selecteil a desirattle territory lb! colonization. When this has been done the whole scheme Is to be made public and freely dls<cnssed at colored mass meetings to be held in Washington and elsewhere. This movement is said to be of especial concern to the people of South Carolina. As the negroes already outnumber the whites In this Stale. it is claimed that it would be cheaper and easier to colonize negroes here than to remove those we now have to the far West. The I'o'onization Lea cue are wild to content riliite seleclinj; in this Slate the whole section ylng between the Kdlsto mid Savannah 111 versanil extending from the sea to Aiken county, buying lip the lunds and enconnicinir negroes t > emigrate thither from nil parts of the country as last as possible, and by making i tbc situation disagreeable for tlie white resii dents, force them to sell out their property to I tbe colored strangers and seek homes clsej where. It has been represented In WashingIon that the negroes already own a great deal of Id11tied property in this portion of the ! state, and as the soil Is fertile and theclinmte i all that the most fastidious darkey could de! sire, it is thought by many of the leaders of i the movement that no better starting point I for the proposed colonization could be lound i in America. It is claimed that other torrito. ry in this State can be absorbed, and that the ' whites will ultimately be crowded out by the constantly Increasing throng of blacks, no I that South Carolina will ultimately be converted Into a lllaek Republic. I The western part of the Indian Territory, : and a portion of Texas bounded on the south j by the tributaries of the lted Kivcr, arc iJmj I regarded with covetous eyes by some of The i leaders of the colonization movement. The I principal objection to this territory is that a I ureal deal ol'the land Is not fertile ami the cost ot transportation is heavy. Some of the members of the League also advocate the sct! tlement of a colony atom; the Ya/.oo Kivcr In | Mississippi, tint the South Carolina project is I said to have found more favor lhati any other I that has been suggested. I It Is not. known how Ions; the Washington | organization has been at work, t>ut from the | frequency of the meetings and the number of | the speeches made, there seems to be no doubt i that the scheme Is being discusssed with all seriousness. Rude maps of the threatened I sections have been made to Illustrate the! I views of the speakers, and the advantages of j I each location are eagerly canvassed. The i whole scheme has doubtless been hatched by the "leaders," as they are culled, who hilve I I lived by their wits ever since the war, and I ; who see in a "colonization" movement a tine j chance to tieece their Ignorant and confiding j dupes I 'I he Idea of the blacks being able to "crowd ! I out" the whiten form one of the most fertile sections of South Carolina is, of course, a ] I wiid absurdity, worthy the intelligence that! i conceived and carried out the memorable Azor j folly. The only practical result of any con j sblerable Influx of colored people ihto our low country would be to make field labor more ; j abundant, and of course cheaper than It now ,1s. i| A Sensible Nesro. i J Torn Hamilton,the black Democrat of Bean| ftjrt, whose desertion of the Kttdicu!
