General Sickles on the 2Gth issued an or der in the case of thc negroes concerned in the recent street car riot in Charleston. In view ot the genera! good conduct ot the col ored population io trusting to the action of the authorities for the recognition and en forcement of thidr rights and privil?ge, all a-e relieved with tLe*exception of Wm. Hugh and .Ino. P. Stewart, colored, who, being charged with stoning the cars, re isling the p lice in,the discharge of their duty, and in citing other.? to riotous conduct, are remand ed for trial by a Military Commission. . In the case of Stephen Calhoun Smith, charged with mutilating the National flag ' at the Firemen's parade on the 27 th of April, the order says : The only extenuating cir cumstance is the prisoner's acknowledgment of guilt, coupled with the avowal that the act was done io a moment of undue excitement, ?mri his expression of sincere contrition fur the offence ; and prominent and influential citizens Laving petitioned fur Siai'.h's pardon, I representing that his olfciice had received no countenance in th ; Community, and it ap pi aring that the c ?: finement already under gone by the accused, 'added to the condeno nation of the co:n?.;n:iity, will sufficiently ad monish him of the consequences of hiv mis conduct, it is ordered he be discharged. Mt::.AX( noi.v ACCIDENT.-On Saturday looming about 9 o'clock, while Mr. R bei t Jordan, the Superintendent of West Point Mills, was overlooking tho manufacture bf ome stave's for rice barrels, his f.jot cnuzht ol a piece of wood, and he fell backward upon a Circu'ar saw of ten inches diameter. I he saw was elevated about three fe^t from he grtmnd, being one of a pair used to cut i've staves the proper leugth, and was in rapid motion at the time.of the accident. Mr. Jo dan received a terrible wound, the saw strik ing him just below and back of thc right .boulder, and cutting entirely through the muscles and riln mt ) th?: cavity of the chest I Strange to say, he waiko 1 from the building i where the accident occurred to his house, a j listADCe ol about four hundred yards, tie ] Wed profn-ely, and if it Lad not been for thc j presence of mind of his daughter, who made j u bandage of a sheet and stopped the bleed ing until a surgeon could come, ho- would doubtless have bled to dcAth. Dr. Anthony j Pt-lzer and Dr. Wm. llorlbeck were called in, j and were at first of opinion that the w >und was fatal, butin the afternoon the patient j was evidently better, and he continued to i uprove through yesterday, although, o! cour: o ae si iii remains in a very critical conditio?. Mr. Jordan was slightly wounded by the same machine about a week ago, which led io an alteration being mode in it that proba bly prevented him from being killed ?mme liatelv ou Saturday.-Charleston Mercury, 28th. We learn faun the Charleston papers of a 'ater dale that Mr. Jordan Las sine: died, i ? ? ? A shocking tragedy occurred not long ago in a court of Justice at Matanzas, Cuba. A suit for alimony had been commenced by a married lady7, who had for some months been separated from her lord*, Santiago Mauzanet, of literary reputation. The case was pro ceediug, when Munzanct drew a revolver and fired at his wife. The ball entered her fore head, causing her to fall over into her moth ers lap, an aged lady, who was sitting beside her. He theu fired at the mother, when both foll at his feet, gasping in death. The mur derer then turned on tue persons present aud threatened them with the same fate if they dared to interfere with him. He then took a few strides across the room, approached thc corpses of the hapless women and empti ed the remaining charges ot his revolver into their bodies. Tue iast shot wai aimed so as :o kill his wife's unborn infant. After thc deed be threw down his revolver and gave himself up to the officers of justice. As PREDICTED.-The indiscreet conduct, says the Louisville Courier, of the few indi viduals who interrupted Mr. Kelly in hs speech at Mobile, has proved, as was natural ly expected, a perfect god ?end to the Radi cals. They roll it as a precious morsel under Uieir tongues, and howl out their raaled.c tiona upon the whole South. This little riot, excited by Mr. Kelly's taunts and insults, is magnified into evidences of disloyalty, which needs prompt and summary retaliation. The submissive and loyal .spirit of tho Southern people bad become so manifest that, for months past, the stock of material with which to stim ulate the Northern appetite for vengeance had been running rather low, and there was great danger that there would be a revolu tion ia thc public mind which would relax thc tyranuical grasp of the Radicals on the throat of the Sor.th. This aflitir is, therefore, seasonable, and comes iu the very nick of time. Of course they will make the most of it, and this squabble will bc made a nine days' won der? One Radical paper, however has spo ken independently" respecting thc cxtraordi nary course of Judge Kelly. It is the Albany Eititt'ny Joui md, which protests against the Republican party being held responsible ci thei fwr the extreme men who profess to act as. representatives or for the doctrines they piomulgate, which are considered subversive of all sound ideas of government, incendiary ?u their effects, and calculated to delay the processes of reconstruction. Tun INEVITABLE REACTION'.-The Herald analyzes the frantic attempts of the* ulna Ridicals to perpetuate disunion, and excite a conllict between ?Le white and black race- in the South, ?ii conclusion it say-: And what mus; be the result of all this? Rtdical extremists ba* hounded the niggers to their si?e of the linY and driven the whites to the other. And now comes a party inti niati m that if the whites persist in their re fusal to bow down there shall be a new up turning-all that has been done shall ba un done ; what has been settled shall be Unset tled ; thc whites shall bc disfranchised, at least, and, if necessary, their property shall be handed over to the niggers. Republican* Um must remain dominant at any cost. The result of sued a policy and ruell an intima tion must be to stimulate, to intensify, to lias tern an inevitable reaction over thc whole North-to t ive purpose and vitality to tba? rising sentiment of tho American people that already vr?igbs the necessity of repudiating these reckless, ruinous leaders, who would sacrifice every interest of the country, evciy aspiration of tho people, every principle of right and justice before the Moloch of party.

Death of Col. C. J. Elford. We aro pained to announce the death of Colonel C. J.

As to '4 beat and Oits tbcro will certainly bc enough made to deluge the country-and to bring down the prices of snch commodities. Or will it take ten years of fine crops to bring down prices '! It seems to us so. Thc corn prospect is universally reported as fine; ami even cotton, despite the chilly mornings of several weeks past, is well spoken of. Several country gentlemen, in whoso breasts thu milk of haman kindness has nut been skimmed, spoke to ns in moving terms of tho starving and perishing condition of the merchants and lawyers about oar tonn. 'The subject was one of thc pro foundest sadness. We mingled our tears with theirs, and begged them not to withhold their, sympathies from tho unhappy newspaper mci who are about to give the final and f??sl k'ek. They added further that they came with tho de sign of offering all theso unfortunates good daily wages ai cutters o' Wheat and Oats.

EHITOK :-The impression is pretty general among the Freedmen of this, tho upper portion of tho District, that provisions are hoing gener ally distributed either at the Village, ir the Camp some miles below ; and as application! for writing*, upon which io draw these provisions, are numerous fcy the Freedmen to their employers, in this neigh borhood, several of said employers have deter mined to write you on the subject, as to thc class of persons deserving this pririlege, and what is necessary on their part, to obtain fisseprovision*. We would Respectfully suggest that, notwith standing, there are many who are deserving this charity, many are attempting to palm ofT their wants and infirmities upon tho kindness of those giving these Rations ; -.md cases ure in point-one I purtirulnrly-\a which a wooi&u was ottered Three Dollars per month and her board, as a Cook Ser vant, who refused it, and ha? recently made ap plication for assistance. Those who have employed these persons ai laborers readily purcieve the demoralisation and injurious effects of the impression that they can obtain a living without effort on their part. Soma cases in ibis neighborhood have occurred in which thc Freedmen bare, without the knowledge or consent of.the employer, left the Held and gone to the Village "to draw Rations, " for their friends. It strikes us that too much caution can not be exercised; and too severe rebukes giren those who arc not descrvinglhis privilege. For (tie information of ourselves, and tho benefit of our infirm Freedmen, we have addressed you this ?rticle, hoping to be informed of thc whereabouts of these " Rations," and nil thing* necessary to obtain, or for the Freedmen lo ob'ain them ; in n Int quantities they are given, Ac.

Respectfully relumed to tbe Editor of the Edgefield Advertiser. The clashes of persons for whom rations aro furnished by this Bureau are destitute refugees (loyal) and Irecd persons, who by reason of ago and infirmity, or oxtreino youth, are uriablo to support themselves, orare without relations whose duty it would bc to support thom. That people who do not properly belcng to either of these classes sometimes succeed in de eeiring those charged with the duty of distiibu ting rations, is very likely the case. . At the same time the gre.Vest fare ii oxorcisod to prevent persons who are able to work and to earn a support from receiving rations. In io case has any hesitancy been shown in striking from tho list of destitute persons Iii? name o'. any one who bas been reported as undeserving tbe charity of the Government. It is conceded, that " too much caution oanrot be exercised in this matter," and as far as possi ble information has been gathered concerning doubtful eases. If any one of the " MAXV FA HU ERS" wrrnld apply to this Office or thc Command ant of the forces at Edgofield he would receive any information he desires Upon this subject. As to the whereabouts of tho rations furnished by this Bureau, lt may be said that they are at the Camp of Co. L, 5th Car., once a woek, gen erally Thursdays.

The article ri f.-rred to was instructing freedmen when and how lo use firearms., A Cowmiuxo roa SUFFICIENT CAUSE. Yesterday the inhabitants in the vicinity of Barnard and Broughton streets were thrown into considerable commotion by a public flagsllation. of one man by another. The facts, as we have gathered them, from one of thc parties to this tnteieslirig affair, are about as follows : Mr. Charles G. Cotton, an honest and industrious citizen, having the charge ol sisters growing to womanhood, placed the younger of them in a millinery establishment to 'earn thc millinery business. Some offen sive advauces having been mads towards the young lady by the husband of tho proprie tress, were bought to the notice of tbs broth er through au elder sister. Thc brother im mediately armed himself with a cowhide, five feet in length, and went in search of the man, called him out of his store and confronted him, with the lady, at thc corner of Barnard and Co: gress street?. She reiterating her assertions, the brother drew his cowhide, and administered a severe flagellation, ?vhich was n ;t interrupted by thc large crowd who wit ness^ the per ormai c*. After a')C,uts2v>n y strokes of thc whip, and when tired nature, upon thc part of the incensed brother, could proceed no further, the whipped man sought refuge in a contiguous store, bleeding from the severe punishment inflicted. If the facts, as stated to us, be true, the punishment was well merited, a.id thc guilty pirty may con gratulate himself with having escaped with his life.-Savannah Republican, 29th. MAXIMILIAN A PaiKusKR.-It is now re ported officially that Queretaro was captured by E3cobedo on thc 15th, and that Maximil ian, with UH officers and troops, .-.urrepdortd unconditionally. Various rumors are afloat concerning the cate of the unfortunate Maxi milian. A New Orleans dispatch says that tho reply of President Juarez to Minister Campbell's recent letter simply recounts the grievances of his party at thc conduct of Maximilian, justifies the previous executions, and declines to pi omise safety to Maximilian in the event of his capture. From the inte rior there is a report that Juan/, bad ordeied Maximilian and his Generals tc? be shot. The Mexicans arc barbarous enough for any crime. They maj' |n thc frenzy of suc cess have murdered the cx-Empcror and his faithful adherents; but tho continuance ol such savage coudant would'compel the United Slates to interfere, and would augur but iii for tho future of the country.-Mercury.
