That he hos incited these negroes to kill certain of hi? neighbors. That the hou.-cs <.f certain of his neighbors have been violeutly a faulted nt night, and that these neighbors are in daily fear of their lives.

And on to-morrc Thursday 26tb, there will be a grand meeting thc Stockholders in Columbia. President JOHNSTON and Chief Engineer Moo certainly deserve the thanks of all progress! minds throughout the country fur the unce quotable energy and zeal manifested by them bringing this important Road so nearly to perfi eompletion. They havo had manifold and i mouse difficulties to encounter ; and through a and ?hove all. and in spite of all, they have t umphautly demonstrated that they have no s periors as " Railroad men." And of Col. Jon STO.v, President of the Road, with whom wo ha the honor to he personally acquainted, we c say further, that he has no superior as a gentl man of large and libetal views, of honor, of i telligenc*, education, polish ?nd affability. Ia addition to the drawbacks of w?r, dcm] tion, ruin and poverty, it is well known that tl Road has had a net of legal technicalities throv around it Tho South Carolina Railroad fit contended that, by reason of an old chart granted that road, no other could cross its trat at or near Columbia, and resorted to the usu legal remedies in order to enforce itt franchi: Thc next impediment was at Orangeville, who the South Carolina Road insisted that certa trottle work (already erected) of the Columb and Augusta Road, was an enftingemcnt of i proprietary rights. These two difficulties, aft an obstinate and determined resistance, wcroovo come ; and, supposing that no other obstac would be thrown in the way, the grading i the rood from Qraniteville to Augusta wi commenced ; and indeed is now well nig finishod. But at this juncture, with tl road so nearly completed, and to the rcgn of our community, nnd of all well-wishers of tl Columbia and Augusta Road, another injunctic has been applied for by the Sooth Carolina Boat upon the ground that the said grading is withi ? one hundred feet of its track and consequent an infringement of its charter. This case wt elaborately argued ten days ago before Associai Justiec Willard, in Charleston. Justice Wiliar lus not yet pronounced his decision, which i anxiously looked for; but in all probability th decidion will be in favor of the South Carolin Road ; not that tho latter road needs one hun dred feot on either side of its track, or will noe so much fur fifty years to come, but upon strict! legal grounds. We hope, however, that the practical >en?e c the day and the progress of tho age will tend t reconcile the contestants in these malters, an that the Public na well as the Corporations of th State will soon realize the -inevitable fact that th Columbia ? Augusta Railroad mutt an I will b carried through to triumphant completion. P. S. Since writing the above, the Char loe to: papers have brought us Justico Willard's docision It is as follows: The South Carolina Railroad Company vt. the Co lumbla and Augusta Railroad Company. On the hearing of the Bill in this casa, tba plo; of defendants, and tho affidavits read, and afte argument of counsel for complainants and dofon dants, it is ordered that a Writ of Injunction di issue enjoining tho defendants, their officers ?gents, and persons employed by them, from en tering upon the lands, right of way, or any fran chite of tho complainants, for thc purpose of tbi construction of the Columbia and Augusta Rail road. And that the said Writ be Dsued by th< Clerk ot the Court of Common Ploa* for Rich Und County, with liberty to the defendant* t< movo for tho dissolution of tho Injunction non ordered, at any time beforo thc hearing of th< case; on proof that thoy have duly acquired thi right to outer for the purpose of the constructor upon the premises cluimed by the complainants ai set forth in the Bill of Complaint.

BUTLER AND THE LOUISVILLE COURIER. The Courier Journal, of yesterday, published a private lutter from Gen.

It is a pat t of my country ; and although I may misjudge ia the best way to prevent the South lrom the consequences of what I must regard as a great crime, and still worse,'a blunder, yet I would do any thing if I could bo convinced that it would tend to tho prosperity, quiet and regeneration of the South, as a part of my country. I bear no hatred toward the South, or South ern men as such, if 1 know my own heart; but I am opposed only lo those who still war upon the best interests of the country, as I understand them ; and tbat opposition, from the very necessities of my nature, will be a stern and unyielding one. I hope to see you aud assure you, iu person, that I can be as ardent a friend in peace as I was a determin ed and uureleuting foe in war." The Courier' Journal says of thia : "Aj a partisan we have untiringly fired the heaviest guna io uur battery at Gen. Butler. When he soars so high, and demonstrates that his will U equal to bis capacity for good, our guns shall ail be spiked, ur turned upon those who may assail his acts in our behalf."

The better part of those at the South who supp rted S?fe m?ur and Blair iuour late struggle seem nofl| des i rou- to unite in i Hurts to secure peaces and prosperity to the South and to the whole! country. We trust those effort?, heartily^ seconded by ibose of General Grant and his suppoiters, will prevail.

LEAPHAKT, of Lexington District, S. C. OB^UARY._ DKI'ARTKU this lifo, on Saturday night, the 14th November 1S0S, at tho residence of D. P.. DURI soK, Esq., SALLIE, youngest, daughter of the Inti- .Toii.v uud EK.V.NCES A. HARRISON, of this District. Sh? was a lady of unusual amiability and love liness of character; generous,_unselfish, and of great kindness of heart. The best years of her life wero spent in ?loepless aud untiring devotion to an aged and afflicted mother; and ail who call to mind now this holy and pious devotion, can but think and say : " She has gone to receive her reward. Sho has departed to be with Christ." Ono j car ago, this mother was laid in tho grove; and now the devoted daughter is culled to join her io Heaven. In God's eyes bor work upon earth was finished, and He bas garnared her up among the best and noblest of bis kingdom. But not only as a noble and devoted daughter did she shino in life ; sho was likewise an ovcr affeciionate and ever-thoughtful sister, a truthful and loving friend. Wo all feol that a good and gentle woman, a model of a daughter, a loving sister, a worthy neighbor, and a genuine Chris tian, has left ns. Prom her early youth she hod been a straight forward and unswerving member of the Baptist Church. For her, death bad no terror. She was willing to remain and still bless her family, or ready to depart and be with Christ She might truly have expressed the sentiment of the apostle : " To abide in tho flesh is more need ful for you ; but to depart and bo with Christ is far bettor for me." On Monday the 16th of Nov., we deposited her in tho grave, attended by the lamentations of brothers and sisters, the tears of friends, the prayers of all, the ill-will of nono. Her life 'oaches us not to live for self alone. Her death tells us there is a hereafter, where tho good are rewarded ; and we quit her with the words tho Divine mersonger addressed to Daniel : " But thou, go unto;the end and aim: there rest, but rise up to thy lot in due time. Amen." A FKIEXD. Dinn, of Consumption, on the 16th October, at the rosidenco of her father, Mrs. MARY NEAL, aged 27 years, wife of Mr. J. M. NEAL, of New hurry District, and daughter of Mr. MARK ETU KU Kn U E. This estimable lady hus been tukon from us in the bloom of life, but not without leaving evi dence of those noble qualities which adorn the female life. As a wife she was devoted to her husband; as a daughter, she confided in the counsel of her parents, always paying due respect to their judgment; as a Christian, she exhibited humility, piety and ma , i the graoes which are worthy examples of t' .rue christian. She leaves a IIu.j> uu, Father, Mother, Broth ers and Sisters, ar j many frionas to mourn their loss. They mourn as those who have hopo, for she died expressing a willingness to go at an jj time and be with Christ. II. B. COMMERCIAL. AUGUSTA, N.v. 21. GOLD-Buying 131 and selling 136.
