ONE OF THE ERITISE OFFICIALS AlRESTED NEw YORK, June 4.-The Black Warrior, from Havana, has arrived. By this arrival we learn that one of the Brit ish oflicurs who has made himtself so conspicu ous in boarding our merchant vessels at Scagua la Grande and on the Gull, has been arrested and sent to Jamaica. BOARDING AMERICAN YEssELs.-The Toronto (Canada) Colonist of the 20th instant has a calme and sensible article on the subject of the recent aggressions upon American vessels by Biritishc cruisers, in which it says: The over-zealousness of the British eruisers in the Gulf of Mextico in their efforts to cutt off the slave trade, has evidently occasioned a great deal of angry feelincg at Washington, and we cannot icgne surprisc at the result. The board ing of vessels wheich on any reasonable ground may bie supepo.sed to be shivers may be politzi enough ; but the couarse recently pursned by British conmmande-rs in the gulf implies a mutch wider pretension, and, in our opinion, (10es not admnt of palliation or defence. If it imply any thing, itanmounts to a practical assertion of the old doctrine of the right of search, to which the American government and people will never suibmit. FtvE SnOTS TsO Tus .Jons Asn AiuaR. The ease of the ship John and Albert has been reporteal by telegraph. The New Orleans Pica yune, of the 24th May, has the following par ticulars:. "Captain Crowell, of the ship John and Al hert, which arrived hero this morning, reports /that on the 17th inst., when between Florida and Cuba, his vessel, with the Amterican flag flying, wvas lireda into five times, bay a British war steamn cr. The shots, lie alleges, passed quite close to the vessel, aned over her; and she was compelled to heave to, without having timte to take ine the canvass of the ship, so as to save leer spar-s, al though it was blowing very hecavily at the time. and she had everythineg set befoare the wind. The last . shot was'fired af~cr she lead come to the wind-passed just overhead. and was evi dently intended to dismast her. She was then boarded from the steamer, and Capt. Crowell was required to show his papers.- Shortly after the British o0ficer had left, a United States steam frigate came to the rescue?" TE CAt.HOLs MoNUMEN.-A son of Charles ton, now resident in another portion of the State, and by no mceans rich in worldly gain, has given to the Ladies' Calhoun Monument Association his note for $1000, payable in quarterly instal ments, beginning on and after the faying of the corner stone, which is expected to take place on Ihe 28th prox.

Juws PamnIso -ro Ac-ayowe.ratc Cuats-. The Rev. Mr. Bauas, a converted Jew, aced as sistant Secretary of the Society for Ameliorating the Condition of the Jews, has beent lecturing in Biston. A few nights-uintce hte stated, that in his'official capa-ity he had recently received a letter from England, giving an account of a meeting of Rabbis in that coutntry to discuss the (questiont whether Christ was the trne Messiah. "iThey had agreed-if thce Messiah did not come in fifteen years. to acept Christ as the true Mes siah."-Augusta- Dispatch. ArrFAIRSJNEANSA5.-Affairs in Kansa!a$ from hbeiug in a very bad state, have become gradual. ly worse, until- they have reached a climax. We have learned from Mr. Overstreet, a well'known citizen of our conety formerly, that the aboli tioanists have driven ever pro-slavery man from Linn '.ounty, Kansas. TIhere were among these several citizens of our country who were warned byv thema to leavo in 24 hours or suffer -death. 'fhey stole eyerlhing they could lay their' hanzd on that wsa of any value. The clothes of the women and children were taken and they driven from their homes almost in a state of nudity. The band who was at the house of Mr. Over street, was composed of about 30 men, all well armied -an.i mounted, and led by a man naned Muntgoimnery, who was oue it citizen of Jackson euunty, ami a minister of the Christian Chureh. When we have listened tt the stories of these men whomi we know to le honest, peaceful citi zeus, and have learned their wrungs, it makes our i lood ) boil to think that we are Missourians and will permit such outrages to be commnitted on our very border. Such deeds as those vaga bonds have been guilty of would disgrace the devils in hell.--udepeudence, (Mo.) Dispatch, May 19th. ARTHUR SIMKINS, EDITOR. EDGEFIELD. S. C. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1858. RULES THAT MUST IN FUTURE BB OBSERVED. All adrertisements from this date, not amounting to roro than $10, must be paid for in advance. Merchants and others advertising by the year, will be required to settle every six mouths. Ntl p.per will be sent out of the District unless paid for in udvance. All letters on business connected with the Office, to receive prompt attention, must be addressed to the , Edge eI.4 AdIrcrtiarr." To these rules we will rag.dly adhere. Therefore, tako nutice andi net accordingly. pJ - Dint fall to read the beautiful story on the first page, entitled "The Wife's Punishment, or Wo mai.'s Stratagem." It is from the pen of our valued cotrespondeut, " Jatssr Woot5Eisr.." g" We invite the attention of our readers to the tdvrtisements of Messrs. W. R. A T. S. IHcDsos and Vs. L.

The Messrs. II. also any that they intend selling Groceries as "cheap as the cheapest," and we verily believe they will do it. SALE DAY. A very respectable number of citizens were out on sale-day. News from the erops, rather discouraging. Oats, very poor. Wheat, not so good as was anticipa. tel. Cotton, so-so. Corn, fair. The candidates were very busy. The interest of the e:nvass fur the Legislature is increasing. No question as yet before the people. FIRE. On Tuesday the 27th May, Mr. SAMraLt. BAKn of this District had his houses entirely consumed by tire, -z total loss with the exception of some little machi nery. Mr. B. ine an energetic and ingenious mechanic and has the warm sympathy of his neighbors in this disastrons misfortune.

CannOr.t.. be entered upon the minntes of the Court, and that the Court stand adjourned for tbe day. We note the attenmdance of several prominent mem bers of thme profession from adjoining districts. Edge. Geld welcoumes them.to a pmrti.ipation in her forensic prosnts ammd honors. 'The . terum will 'probably continue for the entire week, as we bave a pretty full doeket with several causes that may occupy some time in the dinmcussionm. THAT PLANTATION. Which plantation? The one in Baker county, Georgia, which we are advertising to be sold. Let us tell you that it is one of the choice places in that ountry; at least we have the fact from a gentlemen who only says what be knows and always knows what he says. It is not for us to eneourage any citizen to go either to Baker, oc to Texas, or any where else ; but if amny one is going, we can confidently advise him to call by and look at thmat plantation. --...e... . SENATOR HIAMMIOND. This distinguished gentleman has taken a high and considerate position upon the questiorq of war with England. His views are beams of true statesman. ship, and shine the more purely from being contrasted with the gmarish flashes of hasty resentment whmichm have found encourmagem:ent even among American Senators. The following is an epitome of his re m.rk' on the subjec&. Brief as it is, there is in it the substane of a good set speech. "Mr. Hlammondt disagreed with the Senatmr from Georgia. lie was not willing to be smuggled into a war by an amendmient to an aumendmsent. If the British amris are belligerenmt, let us thrmw withm all due solemnity the bloody spear. If we must have war, let us declare war after dignified considteration. War with Emngland wosuld Ibe the nmost umomentous event that has happened in the past tthree centuries. pmerhmaps in all the past. Perhap. hosilities with England are soner or later inevitable, and when it comes he he lieves England will be rushing on ther fate. Let us avail oursel vcs of the chance affordedn by those reso lutions, not to decide, until it lie forced on us, an event which, whenever it comes, will change the face of human affairs." DEATH OF SENATOR HENDERSON, OF TEXAS. By a telegraphie despaiteh to the Augusta papers from Washington City, datted 5th June, we gather the following : The death, of thme Hon. J. Pinckney Hlendlerson, Senamntor from Texums, took place last night. The Sen ate adjourned to-day in consequence of this sad event. During the announcemnent in the Senate this morn ing by time Hion. Samuel Houston, of the death of his colleague, the old man wept like a child, and the scene excited unusual feeling. The funeral services of Senator Henderson, were to take pltace in the Senate Chamber en Sunday. The House adjourned out of respect to the memory of Mr. Henderson. It is understood that it is the desire of the Presi det, that Congress should not adjourn at too early a day, in view of the unsettled condition of public affairs. THE CHARLESTON STANDARD. A brief response had been prepared by us to a cer tain supercillious fling at the Adlrertiiser, by this Journal. But as the paper is now defunct, we forego the retort. In place of it, we record our regrets at the Stanmdard'~s demise. It has long occupied a highly respectable position in the ranks of "the fraternity," and has been, Invariably to us, a moat welcome visi tor. The circumstances are to be deplored which have caused its discontinuance. We trust its proprie tors may make a succescful disposal of their interests therein, and that its late energetic editor (whom we know to be a "man of earnestness and purpose") may soona be placed in another Gield commensurate with his abmilities. [The said editor must let us ask him whether any " Harry Skimbold"' of thenm all could make as good an og-hand wish as that.] AGRICULTUR AL PR EMIUMS. The premiums awarded at our lastegricultul Fair were delivered to the successful competitors on Mon day. The Court House room wee attended by a num ber oft intelligent citizens on the occasion. The pre miums made a very pretty display, and were accepted ty their reaiprients wtith graceful appreciation, not so much for their iutriuisic worth (although they were quite handsome) as fropa tbmp consideration of what they represented, viz: the mued of aspee in an hon orable competition of home industry. We tys& that many ethers will hereafter be induced, to enter thisa field of osofta emulation. No institution in our midst is calclated to do more goo4i to the substantial inter mI ofr Ditni.t.'n TORE " STRANGER" COMIC AGAIN. [Seene opens in piaza of Corar's Hotel.] Ed. Ah my dearfullow! Glad to see.you amongst as once more. How do you do, when did you arrive and what's the news? Straa. To reply laconically, in the up-country style, I will say; "well:" "yesterday:" and "none at all." The truth .is, I havo come here to learn the news. You people of Edgefield, it is said, consider your little town the centre of the universe, and should therefore of gourso know more than all the rest of us. The 'elatiale should have a wider scope of vis ion than we of the common sort. Ed. Now there, you are jeering us. Come, none of that. To be sure Edgefeld is a great place; and we are cognirant of most things, I admit. But there are a few little circumstances of the outside world which a cosmopolitan like yourself may be allowed to be more familiar with than even we of Edgefield, -such for instance as the price of maearoni in Na p1es, the prospect of the fig-erop in Smrna, and a few others less important particulars of intelligence. We allow you that much. Strcang. Upon my honor you flatter us,-you, who have no railroad, no telegraph. and only a tri-weekly mail communication with the rest of mankind !-you who are isolated here and cut off as it were from Rd. Iuld there:-why, sir, it is this very position of things that gives us our peculiar character of ex cellence, Celetial excellenee if you will'so have it, We get the news only after it has been sifted and win nowed by the coarser barbarians around us,-men whose very complexions havo the dark tinge of their steam-engines and whopse visions are dimmed by the dust kicked up in their mad career. Thus we are ever the favored recipients of the truet if not of the "n,,.rest news." Like ]tasselas in the Happy Valley, we also have space and leisure to inwardly digest and properly appreciate the absurdities of the ignoble herd of mankind, as they are revealed to us through this filtering process. I need say no more, to show you the decided advantages of our stand-point of intel ligenee and observation. Strang. And are you in earnest sir ? Do you real. ly hug this fond delusion to your soul? Is it true, that, on these pretentious grounds, your little town here is to be kept immured in a slothful retirement At only for Fee-jee Islanders? Can your people so easily soothe themselves into indifference to the greal race of progress and development which the descen. dants of Alam are running on almost overy other spot of the civillized globe ? Ed. Tut, tut, man! Have I not said that this is our special strength ? The rest of the world, sir, are our laborators. We sit in judgment upon their fast follies anmid the deop wisdom of our reflectivc seclusion. We scorn the wealth and magnificenet attained by them in their dirty turmoil. We have our peaceful pleasures all to ourselves. Cold water and vegetables (with chickens and an occa:ional bil of mutton,) make up the delicious sustenance of our physical man; And a charming repose of thought se. cures our mental faculties from premature dohay. But it is of no use to argue a settled point. Say nc more,-our village fathers, with all the solemn force of an intelligent loaferism, have decided that it shall be so; and as well might you attempt to amend the lans of the Mdes and Persians, or accelerate the steady and d.gnified tread of the stately elephant. .e't.'hn. I'm dumb, sir-dumb as a church mouse. in the language of the Roman ritual, "pax cols cu.,, ;"-And "speaking of guns," I see there a stone edifice arising in your midst, which "mine boat" of the Sa.na lMo:M:s has informed me is to be a veri. tle Roman Catholic Temple. Ed. True, sir, very true, with the exception thal it is called a churcha and not a temple. Stra.g. Oh, I meant no allusion to idol-worshil by the term ta'ns ;-lt was only a fancy expression applied to what giver promise of being a fancy build ing. *Ed. It may lbe called " faney" perhaps, in thai it is of the picturesque old Gothic style; hut as tc all other points. Ifsancy it is a rerality. Straang. OIf course, of course,-aud apparently a very solid reality. It will at all events prove a very handsome architectural addition to your town. Ought it not, sir, to stir up the members of your Protestant denominations to a 'little more munifience in the end.,wment of their sanctuaries ? I have oftee thought that the houses in which the worship of the Living Go'd is attended to should be built of stone it possible, or at least of more durable 'materials than are commonly used in our country. Ed. And why ? Strrag. First, for thenanifest reason that it ic due to Hlini that Jli churches should surpass in ex cellence all the other buildings of earth. Ed. True. Stag Secondly, it is better for the religious wel fare of men that they should worship od where their fathers worshipped before them. There ih something imposing, in feeling that we knaeel where our ancestors before us all likewise knelt. It essen. tially paromu.tes veneration and religious fervor. liow can it be expected that American Christians will ever experienee this salutary influence, with the fimsy and perishable manner of church architecture still so general amongst us, especially in the country and in country villages ? Ed. Y'ou are entirely right, and I agree with you that the present instance isa a good example set to all Christian denominations. Puaritr'ndvn mnay ire against you, baut Truth and fiuty clearly sustain your posi. ion. Arid now, sir, yhall we not take a partial stroll about the village anal see what changes have occurred in the appearance of things since last you were haere.

Yes, inadeed; I moust adnait (and I do so with plerasure) that your academical institutions seem to be properly cared for and well sustained. That Male Acadenry over in the sequestered gribve has deciadedly a scholastic air. Anal what a hand some, manly set of sturdents ! I dent know when I have seen a finer sample of Young America. Ed. Fine fellows they are, and, as I am informed, studious and amnbitious of excellence. We pride ourselves upon those lioys. .S'ruag. Not without reason, doub~tless. Your Female Seminary also presents a very inviting ap pearance. Ed. Yes, sir; and our girls are as charming as our boys are clever. Struag. I thought so. That was a pretty bevy of them we saw issuirng from the schooh-yard as-we passed along. Some there pierhaps who will he the cause of many heart-achmes to the rougher sex; or which is far better, whlo will make themselves bless dngs to others in their quiet journey of life. Ed. No doubt of that,-none in the world. You have only to knew our Edgefield girls to diseover that they are jewels. They are the traue grit, and so r'nk wherever they go. aStran'g. Well, sir, it is a good thing and a pleas ant, to see flne schools well attended by industrious scholars, Ed. (catching up the remark) And presided over by capable, energetic and faithful . teachers such au ours. AUl exactly so. :Srca:g. Yet, in passing this commendation, I must be prermittedl to suggest that the approach to your Male Academy grounds' is sadly in need of re pair. 'Those gullies in front are ahominable eye-sores; And they might be remedied at an expense of $20 to $'30. Now what is this little outlay when you pie ture to yourself what an ugly, rough and discredita ble place those same gullies will become in a year or two. Ed. Oh, that plae is to be fixed, I think ; the Trustees have had it under consideration. Strong. " Under consideration," fudge ! jt wants no consideration. It- is destroyinag in large part the beauty of your Academy location and should he at tended to at once. But 1 beg pardon-I had forgot ten that you do every thing here with the measured "tread of the stately elephant." Ed.. No need for raillery, sir; our trestees are not so elephantine in their moatons as you might im agine. They know what's what, and, thus knowing, so do. S' rang.. Well, it is a little singular that they can't bestir thasspives to this little extent.

There's a voice from the visions of midnight arouhd me, How solemn and mournful, how death-like the sound! That breathes to my slumbers the woes which cur. round me And echoes the words "all alone, all alone!" There's a voice from remenbrause which breathes in my ear, The pleasure I've witnessed, the rorrow I've borne, I list to the fate which awakens a tear, While hearing the accents "alone, all alone." There's a voice from my fancy whos hopes have been blighted, That weeps its illusion in heart-rending moan, There's a voice from the sorrow of love unrequited, Which tolle me again I'm "alone, all alone." When I turn to the scenes of my childhood to rove, And muse on the objects now faded and flow, When I think of the few that are left me to love, I then hear the whisper, "alone, all alone." Vainly I knock at humanity's portal, And ask for that friendship alas ! I have known ! The world shuns the prayer of the life-wearied mortal, And mny heart sighs tde answer, "alone, all alone." And while there are those who are seemingly dear, There still is a voice whose serene gentle tone Reminds me that tho' for awhile they are near, At last I shall fnd I'm "alone, all alone." Sadly I go to my own silent slumber And kneel in my thoughts at a heavenly throne; Sweetly I dream that 'mid joys without number, I live, love and hope without hearing "alone." And oh! if there be in you regions above A place where the torments of life are unknown, Where days are unnumbered and sorrow is love, Surely there will be rest for the child of "alone." THE CROPS. THE Cnois.-The Lumpkin Ga., Palladium, of the 2d inst., speaking of the crops in that sec tion of the State, says: "Wheat is being har vested, and despite the rust, we have been blessed with a fair yield. Oats bid fair to be ruined by rust. Corn and cotton is indeed promising. AN e doubt whether a better prospect has been seen ior many years. Our hearts should swell with gratjtude to the Giver of all these blessings for the same." WE are now in the enjoyment of weather most favorable to crops of all kinds-warm and sufficiently moist. W1 e believe the unanimous verdict is that the crops in this section of Geor gia never held out a better promise.-,Macon Telegraph, June 1. WHEAT in this vicinity is now nearly ripe. We have examined some fields, but have not observ et'-any of the bad ('ffects of the rust, about which so much has been said lately in the pa. pers of this State. We think the farmers here abouts will gather at least the usual yield, what ever losses maay be met with in other locations. -Madison (Ga.) Visitor. \VIW .-The wheat in this section, (says the Athens Ga., -u/ck'au, oftlie 3dinst.,) looks well, and we think it is now-the most of it-out of the reach of rust. . Fon some time past we have had fine weather for the growing crops, and we learn .from well informed planters, that the prospect for a good yield is most excellent. As yet nothing has suffesred from dry weather in this section. The wheat crop in this vicinity promises an abun dant yield.--Georgia West Point Citizen. Rrs-r rx Gnaz.--The wvheat and oat crops throughout this section have been entirely de stroyed by rust, and we learn that in some pla eses it is lbeginuing its inroads upon corn. There will not be sufficient wheat and oats made to fur-nish seed for the next season, and it is great ly feared that the corn crop, notwithstanding the favorable season, will lbe very short. Albany Patriot, June 3 Tum Cnor Paosa'-crs.-We had an opportn uity on Saturday last of seeing and conversing with a number of our friends from various see tions of the county, in attendance on the demo cratic Meeting, and was happy to learn from them in person that their crop prospects, both corn and cotton, were upon the whole very prom ising.-Tallahassee, Sentinel 1st inst. HEirY LossEs.-A recapitulation of the dam age done by the recent hail storm in the viciar oy of l-redriuksburg, Viririnia, estimates the loss to be $151,000. Over 560,000 bushels of wheat were destroyed, within a length of ten and a breadth of three miles. Wrawr.-WE' regret to learn that the wheat cropi of tis section is vecry seriously injured by the rust.. There will not he more than a half crop made.-North Georgia Times, June 2. Tux Lorerss is Cr.Axnonxn Cocr-r, Miss. l'he Port Gibson Herald,of the 2lstult., says: In taking a ride the other evening, we were sur prised to see perfect swarms of locusts on almost every tree. Wte believe they are the seventeen yearlocusts. There seems to be but little fe-ar, 'however, that they will injure, to any great de gree, the fruit crops, or anything else. Tn Cntors Is TExArs.-Trhe latest acconts from Texas speak in glowing terms of the splen did condition of the crops in that section. All the replanted cottAn and corn is up, and aever were the prospects for good crops better. Frnit, which from its scareity has bieen for the Inst two or three years, a luxury to thre pseople will he in great plenty. The peach, the plum, andI such of the fruit trees as grow apontaneously in Wes tern Texas, are loaded with fruit, while musk melons, watermelons and the like are in unusual abundance. TaE Baa.n CR EvAs~i'.-Th~e Planter's Banner, speaking of the Belle Crevasse, says that it has put over forty plantations under water, and de stroyed cane enough to make twenty-three thou sand hogheads of sugar. A railroad that cost millions of dollars has nearly stopped operation; the Texas steamer will, for a season, leave our waters, and an immense sheet of plantation be tween the Lafourch and the Gulf of Mexico are under water. Tihe Banner inveighs shrongly :,'nin.4' the carelessness and neglect whereby revasses on the river occur. We trust the les set taught this year will herL after be remem bered. Tums Co-rox Cntor is Tnx~is.-The receipts f Cotton at Galveston this season up to the 22d uilt., the Citrilian says, sum up 104,071 bales. The Cicilian adds that there are 3000 bales at Houston. The Galveston News of the 20th ult., sas: 'A private letter dated May 1ith, from San Augustine, to a commission house in this city, says, one of the largest freshets we have had uring this unprecedented wet spring is now pon us. Our bottom lands are completely sub erged, and the damage resulting therefrom to his county will be incalculably great. A letter rom Swartwont, of the 11th instant, to the same ouse, states that the cotton crop has been near y ruined by the rains, which fellI alnost unintter uptedly for 9ti hours. Some thrmrs on the creek ad river bottoms are completely under water. We have informzatiou fromi Wharton and other ounties, to the effect that the cotton crop hats een much damaged by the stuperabundance of ain that has fallen during the last ten days. orn and cante, however, have sustained little or o injury.

Ed. My dear sir, I perceive you are, as usual, disposed to be severo upon us. Strang. Perhaps it is because yiu are, "as usual," liable to criticism. But no:-I have no desire to censure, except where it is palpably just to do so. There are many features of your little town that are truly pleasant to behold. There ii an air of neat ness and comfort about it which certainly distin guishes it above most other villages of my acqunin 'tance. Walking down your main street just now, it was good to look at the proces of whitening up the yard fences on both sides. Of.course all these fences will be whitened now, to bein keeping. Other wise the tot ensemble of the street will rather partake of the shabby-genteel,-partly decent, partly dirty. But with all renewed at the same time, the effect will be very pleasing. And by this sort of. concert of ac tion heroafter, the appearance of your "grand entry" can always be kept uniform in it-s neatness. Ed. Sir, you are 'certainly In the right again. While you are partiular in your notions, you are also sensible in your suggestions; ani I wish our villagers 'could allrhear you talk. I am sure they would heed what you say. Strang. I hope so. The truth is I like old Edge field, if she is a long way off from the big road. This you know though already. -I only repeat the expression of my regard, that you may not think me cynical in any observations I have made or may hereafter make. Ed. My friend, you are a fair and a reasonable man enough; and I have great respect for your opin ions. Give me now a succinet estimate of the good and the bad you have seen about' town in our walk. Strang, Certainly, without hesitation.-I will be gin in what you call the Buagggthtside. The Chan cellor's residence has been much improved,.I see. It is but little like the barn it ised to be. Put that down Ed. Good ? Strang. C'est cela niene. But the rocky road in coming down the hill from his' house is still barba rously rough. Mark that Ed. Bad, of course. .trang. . The rest of Buncombe remaining about the *gme, you may characterize any way you please. Ed. Indifferent then. Struaaj. Let It be as you say. Ed. So there we have Buncombe, good, bad and indifferent. Now come over the branch into the town proper. Strunag. Well, sir, here's your fine looking Odd Fellows & Masonic Building. Mark that "good." Ed. Good. Go on. Strang. Then hero's your.admirably expansive public square-perhaps you may mark it "better." E.l. Better;-Proceed. Strang. And in the midst of this commodious square is your beautiful little enclosure of trees, now almost interlocking their exuberant branches in seemingly affectionate contiguity. Put that down "bost," Ed. Bert; Hurrah for us ! Strang. But, on the other haul, I must mention your rather common Court House. Ed. Shall' I mark it "bad?" , Strang. Yes;-And there's that shocking street that loads out by the big old Hotel, which may be said to be " worse." Bd. Worse ; well, sir. Sgtrang. And lastly (Stranger gets up and edges toirurde the door of the satasrn) here is this ugly, dilapidated, crazy, dirty, disgraceful piata of your abominable old Printing Offie,-and that's-(hoarse lauagh erplcaon thron in at this pJoit)--that'b the worst of all.

AGRICULTUR AL 'PRCEIUM.LIST. .The attention of the farmers and planters of Edge field is again asked to the Premium List of the Dis trict Agricultural Society. It is hoped that many more citirzens will become members of this Society before the Fair in October next. Whether they do or not, it is earnestly asked that they will make pre paration to become exhibitors on that occasion. Those who mauy do so should read over the Premium List carefully and choose at once the departments in which they will compete for premiums. And here we give the assurncee that these Premiums are not imaginary.. Those given' out at the last Faair may now be seen at this place in the shap'e of beautiful ups (silver plate) of various sizes; the pitcher awarded to Mr. Lou HiLLr, as an extr'a premium for the haest Devon Bull, is as beautiful a prize -as any society is in the huabit of giving. The premium plate fortheo next fair will be still better; And we hope all will come into this most useful competition. As we may not publish the Premium List again, those wishing t', have it for reference should preserve the present copy of the Adrertees. CHIARLES HEMBLE AND SHERIIDAN KNOWLES. While the 'players' are here, read the follow ing incident of the drama. Gen. Gleo. P. Morris, of the lione Journal, detailed it in his last issue. To catch the point of the joke remember,all along that Knowles wrnte the " Hunchback." During the first rehearsal of the " Hunchback," a t Drury lAne Theatre, Knowles, who personally su perintended the stage-directions was frequently an noyed by the remarks of the actors. Some of them very umuch doubted the success of the play. Clarless Koblo thought the part, of Sir Thomas Clifford un worthy of his talents ; he consented, however, to per. form it, for his dlaughter's sake. This nettled Knowles, who would not listen to a single suggestion. "Give Sir Thomas Olifford another entrunco and exit speech," said Kemnble. " I can add nothing mere," replied Knowles. Hero the parties turned from each other, and the business of the stage went on for a few moments lon ger, when It was again interrupted'by Kemble: "IExeuso me, Mr. Knowles; but this part absolute-. l requires an addition: a alight alteration would render it more effective. You smust make another speech for Sir Thomas." Knowles colored, and, turning abruptly to "the patrician of the stage," gave vent to his feelings in these terms: "M -i-s-t-e-r Kemble, brains are not shingles, sir ; and, if they are, I am no carpenter I" Kemble smiled at the oddity of the expression, and Knowles left the theatre in a badl humor, and quite discomfited. At night, the bickerings of the morning were for otten-the house was crowded with the fashion and taste of the English metropolis-the play was ap plauded andl cheered throughout-and the certain fell amidst the most animtated applause ever board within a.theatre. First the author (who, in conse quence of the indisposition of one of the actors, per frieod the Hunchback) was ealled for, and made his bow:-his reception was cordial in the extreme. Then the fair deb~ante, the since famous Feiny Kemble, who had made a deep impression in the char actr of Julia: the boxsps, lilt and gallery rose and testifed their approbation, and the waving of hand. kerchiefs was universal throughout the building. And next came Mr. Charles Kemble, who announced the play for repetition, amidst a shower of bouquets. " Well," said *Knowle, when they were out of public view, " what ulterationa can you suggest now, Mr. Kemable ?" " Nothing in the tert," said Kemblo; "but I'think the cast of the piceo might ho improved." " Ah, there," said Knowles, "I allow you to be a bettr judge than myself; any suggestion of yours is well worth attending to-what is it?" " Why, sir," said Kemble, intending to hit poor Knowles in a moat sensitive part, " I think if Master Waltr were in any other bands than your own, the effect of the play would be improved." Knowles looked confused; but he immediately rallied his spirits, andl asked -Kemblo what fault ho had te find with his performance ? " Why," said Kemble, "you are imperfect in thae wors, and do not appear to uanderstanad thke meaninag of the anather r' This retoit, strange to say, restored good feeling between the high contending parties, mutual conces sions were exchanged, and.the next day all London .ecaoetl te nraise of the "uinnhakh THE AUGUSTA DISPATCH.

[Correspondence the Richmond Dispatch ] TRAGEDY IN TEAB. BELTO%, Bz.i. Co., Texas, May 18. I have to record an awful tragedy that occur- * red in Brown county, in this State, last week. Two entire families consisting of ten persons, were all murdered in cold blood, for money, with the exception of three children, the oldest a little girl eight years old, and one an infant, who was found sucking its mother's breast, 24 hours after she had been murdered. They were murdered by four men from Lampasas county, who professed to be out on a surveying expedi. tion. They knew that those fashilies had money, and they went disguised as Indians, thinking that by murdering the whole families, none but Indians would be suspected. The little girl, however, recognized one of them, who had fre queutly been at her father's house. She made her escape into the field where her father was ploughing, where she found him murdered. She then went nobly to work with her little hands, and completely covered him up with dirt, to keep the buzzards off until she made her way - to the nearest settlement, and gave the alarm. The neighbors all then collected, and went in pursuit, and finally trailed them to their homes in Lampasas county, where they arrested them after a desperate resistance by themselves. and friends. The party were all men of property, and respectably connected. The party having them in charge passed through 'oyell county last Wednesday, on their way with them to the lace where the murders were committed, where have no doubt they will lynch them. They were securely bound, and guarded by about for ty men. They expected that an attempt would be made to rescue them; if so, they intend to shoot the prisoners the first thing. Tan Ecne oF IT.-We find the following in the New York Times: "Washington, May 31.-Lord Napier has sent instructions to the Commander-in-Chief of the forces on the West India Station, to hr.ve the visitation of American vessels discontinued.
