Horace- Greely ou .*? The Thieving Carp et-Bagge rs." In the leading article in New York Tri bune, of Wednesday. Horace Creely pays m'a respects in his characteristic style to "tho Thieving Carpet-baggers." After . '.uining that his denunciation is not intended for all who might be termed rpet-baggers." many of whom are use ful and valued citizens of thc South, Mr. Greeley proceeds : Hut there are ..'carpet-baggers" who are knaves and hypocrites-who making loud professions of "zeal for Republican ascen I 'ency and negro enfranchisement and ele vation, are mainly intent on filling their own pockets from the spoil of an impover ished, imthrifty people. And this kind of '\irpet-baggers" have been prominent and powerful in the legislation and adminis \ration ?f^veraT^fTnWn States, as their bl <ated pubhc expenditure, taxation and indebtedness abundantly, deplorably at test. Such is the naked truth, exag?r?ted very naturally, by partisan hostility and bitterness, but'bad enough when reduced to rts real dimensions. * * * It is the 'simple truth that- our Worst impression? of that sort of " carpet-baggers" were mane by the statements not Of Democrats at all, but of zealous Republicans. One of them was himself .a recent emigrant from Illinois, who never voted any other than a Republican ticket, but who went South to plant cotton, and declared him self nearly ruined by the heavy taxes imposed on his plantation by the ".carpet baggers,*'.who, by managing the negroes, ruled and robbed his county, continually putting up swindling jobs ot' bridge-builc? ing. &c, to fill their own pockets. Anoth er was our friend of many years who last fall headed the Republican State ticket in Louisiana, and was elected by an over whelming majority. We take the liberty of indicating him * without asking leave because the fact that he is making ? de termined fight f15 auditor against the rob hers who wooH dnd-v nun the cred"' they have anson' ' Sh; "* ids **'.'.y' ' &is so widely ka ? -...-,.... would, c: "-d .'. ..nth tv .< <i > ? ural enemy of thieves So ::?

Tho gross perversions and angrv criti cisms t?fcerfainS ??.h?rn Repul ?icfm jour nais reminds us of tu anecdote: The - centric Lorenzo Dow. was once approach ing a place where he had an a; ; ?intinen to preach, when a stranger complained ... hun tfiat his watch had oeen stolen fro!t: under his pillow the night before. Dow assured thc victim that uis watch won'; be returned, and, picking up a boiilde; that weighed a pound or so. hi i it under hi.-? cloak and entered the pulpit. Aftei preaching aeajousiy for half an nour ors ne suddenly stopped and exclaimed, '' A man's watch was stolen in this neighbor hood last night, anet the thief is now in this house. I rhall hit him with this stone !" He made a feint of throwing it, and one of the audience ducked his bea;!. He was instantly seized, searched, and the stolen watch found in one of his pockets. Are there not too many heads ducking in deference toourdenunciation of " thiev ing carpet-baggers?" "Republicans of the South ! you have a desperate struggle just ahead, and you cannot win unless you send these villains to the rear. You cannot rely on their modesty or their sense of decency ; they will push themselves forward into the most conspicuous posts, no matter at what peril and mischiet to your cause, unless you ?ternly ?ay, "Go back, thieves'" You cannot afford to be delicate with men who' do not know what delicacy means. Unless you show-by your acts that you detest peculators and scorn to be led" by them, ymt- will be beaten, and will deserve to be. You can put these fellows where they be long ii' you try ; and you must try. Their effrontery will desert'them whenever they see that you not only loathe rascality; but do not hesitate to show your loathing; As you hope to bo respected, confided' in, tri umphant, vindicate your own integrity by ?.randing the thieves who would make mer chandise of your party's good name.

Horrible Murder. On Tuesday last, at early morn, a most horrible tragedy and murder occured on Mr. B. H. Kill's." Mud Creek" plantation, in this county, in which Mr. Kush,' the Managerj and Paul Butler, a Suntan working on the place, were the parkes, and both killed. The testimony before the jury bf in quest'disclosed the following particulars: On Monday Mr. Rush saw. some plow lads abusing the mules, and ordered them to desist. They laughed defiance and con tinued to maltreat the mules. Mr. Rush threatened to chastise them if they did not desist, and one of them quit the plow and went home. ' The father and mother of this one ven' properly brought him back to Mr. Rush, and held him while Mr. Rush ad ministered light punishment. The father, noi bei?rg satisfied with the whipping ad ministered by Mr. Rush, concluded it was his duty to exercise ' a father's privilege : and while laying on the lash, Paul Butler, ? surly black" fellow, walked up ard re marked that "before he would hold a child of his for a white man to whip him, he would suffer his heart's blood to flow." To this Mr. Rush renled : ." This is no busi ness of yours : go on to work." Paul re plied impudently, saving . among' other j things, thai he " would suffer no damned white son-of-a-bitch to whip on?, of his children." At this point Mr. Rush got hold of a plow handle and made at Paul. Paul retreated and seiz?d a heavy single tree, and was about to make a deadly as sault, when Mr. Rush, seeing his imminent danger, drew his pistol and fired. This shot was doubtless' fired simply to stop the assaHanfy and with no intention, of hitting him. At any rate they were ven ci?se together, and the shot did not take effect. Mr Rush then rode' home, and rode rapidly away from the place, and all was apparently quiet till ' the fatal hour arrived next morning. On Tuesday morning, when the negroes ...Tie on their wav to thc field,. some of . :M- ap with'Paul 'Butler, who had a his shoulder.. Ho informed '; ii was his intention to kill Mr. - ' .. - soon as li? came out into the field. - ls argued the,matter" with him, ; eggc I bim to mit his gun away -and - t i work, lie refused lo be governed their advice, and, persisting in his roas'parp?se,'swore he would kill Mr I first sight. All hands then io work except Paul, his brother i i/.lii? reltttive, 'Ben Wade, and his ?' :;.!. Moses Holt-the latter three not *ing accounted for at that lime. Paul stationed himself a short distance from th aborersi Mr. Bush rode up, and i' LU! .. lyahced towards him, :.nd addressed ..!.:. with: '*G-dd-n you, you shot ; me yesterday for nothing, and how I'm ?? ! ly io shoot with you,'' whereupon Mr. Kush replied: "Don't come any-nearer ?ie; sta?i-1 Lack." 'Mr. R. then attempted io draw his pistol, and while in the act, Paul levelled his gun and fired, placing forty-eight deadly missiles in the oreast, abdomen, neck and head of his victim killing him instantly. Paul then 'mn to his mule, tied in the woods hardby, moun ted it, with gun in hand, and made oil cowards the " Hobbs Place,"-another ?one of Mr. Hill's plantations-followed by the three missing negroes, Ben Butler, Ben Wade and Moses Holt, and perhaps some others. At a gate opening into the Hobbs plan tation they found the dead body of Paul lying on une side of the gate and his gun on tlie other. The top of his head was blown off and his face burned with pow der-showing unmistakably that he had come to his death by the accidental dis charge of the remaining barrel while going .through the gate on his mule. That afternoon an inquest was held over, the dead bodies and verdicts rendered in accordance with the facts. The testimony satisfied the jury that Ben Butler. Ben Wade and Moses Holt were accessories, and Deputy Sheriff Brown oeing present with a posse, proceeded af once to arrest all three of them, and they are now in jail awaiting examination. Mr. Rush was a quiet, peaceable,. ster ling niau, and one of the best managers in the county. Kc leaves a wife and three children to mourn, bit? sad and untimely' taking off. Mrs. Rush, we understand, was confined the same morning, after her husband left the house, and was not in formed of his death till late in the after aoon.

R, Bridger* the President, of thc . Wilriiington, Columbia and Augusta Rail road, we meut inned a few days ago, has lonvluded to continue his road from Co lumbia, whither he will soon run by the ?hort cut from Sumter, to Augusta. With a road already in operation from Columbia to Augusta, this must be considered a bold stroke. He proposes to run an airline, as near as the nature of the country admits, and thus save from twenty to twenty-five miles over the Charlotte Road,winch runs to within a few nidcs of Edgefield Court Hour-.-, and terminates at ' ?rariitevilie. The ,new road will thus have the advantage in 'distance and. therefore, in time. Por .these .easons it will doubtless have the gre?tesi share-.of the passenger '.rade, and most !ik'< ly.

IRREST OF THE.-STLVCK BLUFF MUR ? i Kims -The Barnwell Jpurrial s?y9 that .v. n ss. W. Smith, ('::..' ri." pleader in the silver Bluff tragedy, wc : delivered up by .'.

Peter Alien, another of the of-, uders, arrested ty Trial Justice Hayne, o Barnwell on Saturday, and lodged in he jail at that place. Soon after Smith ind Allen had been carried off, three of rhe women engaged also in the difficulty :'. being proved on the examination that, direatcning to assist in kiding the parties chev were in search of, they had accompa nied the crowd to the .--cene of .conflict with i .es in their hands, one ' ' them king down the back door), were brought in on a warrant issued against them by Justice Hayne. A number of colored persons, suppposing that these three women, whose names are Molly Hurl?ng, Savannah House and Ellen Mil ler, were only witnesses, were very indig nant that Justice Hayne would not release chem upon bail, but the latter refused to take any, and upon threats being made, a sufficient guard'was placed around the Town Hall on Sunday night, and Monday morning they , were sent to vthe jail at Barnwell, a portion of the crowd who were anxious to rescue them following ih*?m, we are informed, to the train. "No others than the above have been captured, but a diligent search is being' made for them, and it is supposed that they will soon be arrested. The citizens in the neighborhood of the murder are very much incensed that all of the party have not been arrested before this, and,. while everything is quiet at present, if the guilty parties are not biought to trial it is teared that there will be ?rouble, for no one will feel .safe, and where the lav fails to pro tect there will always be disorder. One pf tire oddest questions ever sub mitted +o the lawyers is now puzzling those of Hartford, Ct. It sMpis. that a man who recently died there left ? widow, childless, but expecting shortly to become a mother. By his will he provided that if the expected child should prove to be a boy, two-thirds of. the property should go to him, and one-third to the widowed mother. If, however, thc child proved to be a girl, onlv one third of the estate was to go her and two-thirds to the mother. The. result, of course, waa.awaited with'an interest even greater than that usually bestowed ujjon-such, events! .The result is the "widow has 1 become th?'.'mother bf twms^-ab?y and Jpr?, '.

And, .extremely powerful, we arftglad to say,-are tho Germana in this I country, who are determined-^pt to tol I erato this' said disguising puritanism. The YoUcsb??tt, one of the m?stinfluen-' tial German papers in America, makes the following proclamation on this sub ject. We admire it and aro piad to sec it : We Germans, whether Protestants, Catholics or unbelieving, have drunk in with our mother's milk different views from the Puritans in reerard to observincr the Sabbath, and these notions we have bronchi with us to this continent, with our music and soul-stirring song, and we will cherish and stand .by thom^'Tn our eves public concerts and public theatri cal' performances, by respectable and skillful professional troupes, and the moderate use of beer and wine in prop erly kept saloons and summer gardens, are* not only innocent Sunday recreations, but we also consider this kind bf amuse ment as,promotive of public morals and refining in their tendency. These pleas ures we will not allow ouselves to be robbed of by arrogant and intolerant re lisions sects; in other words, we will not in this.country permit^ ourselves to be .crowded into' puritanical straight iackets, much less permit ourselves to be dogermanized. Still Another Horrible Case of . Poisoning I And still by a woman. But this time by a poor demented Southern lady who knew not what she did. On Sunday nicht last, in Effingham County, above Savan nah, Mrs. Johp-H. Ash, a young married lady, of good ?social position, and only twenty-five years of age, poisoned her self and her three little children-with strychnine procured by hor husband to destroy vermin, and secretly locked up by him in a deserted drawer. Mrs. Ash had not been known to-be actually crazy previous to this1 deed, but the fact had been strongly suspected. The narrative of this fearful occurrence, in the Savan nah papers, is sad and heart-rending in the extreme. The stricken father held his wife and his little ones in his arms until they all breathed their last. Items of State Newa. Dr. Max LaBorde, our former towns man, has determined to publish a second edition of his valuable History of the South Carolina College." The first-edi tion brought the history down to the close of tb? year ^857.' '. The edition now proposed will embrace the whole period of the existence of the College. Shadrach Webster, a colored murder er, was- hung in Anderson on Friday last. It is in contemplation to run a narrow gauge Railroadfrom Laurens to Newber ry.

The Laurensville Herald says: "The conductor the Greenville Railroad pro prietors," of which Gov.

By reference .to the Act of the Leg islature of 1869, Section fi, Page 238, it will be seen that the sum of Fifty Thon - sand Dollars was appropriated for Hie support and maintonrihety o|" P titi lu Schools in this State, beides the capta tion tax, which nine-tenth? of the wM ^??^rin\m'*T. ?. "~"-' the like sum of Fifty Thousand r lar was appropriated for the Rtmrcrt v ? maintenance, of Public Schools of this State* besides the capitation tax. In 1871 No. ll. Page 703, the sum pf Twenty' Five Thousand Dollars was appropriated for the payment of Teachers' claims out of the fund known as the Canby School Fund. In 1871, No. 345, Page 548, the sum of Forty Thousand Dollars, wa?? appropriated to supply tho deficiency in the appropriation for the support and maintenance of Free Schools for 1S70. And it was provided that no part of said appropriation should be used for, any other purpose than the payment bf the salaries of Teachers. By Act 1871, See. 64, Page 594, the sum of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars, in addition to the capitation tax, is appropriated for the support and maintenance of Free Schools. j In neither bf the above appropriations are the salaries of the superintendents of Education ' included, and in the Act of 1871, the County School Commission er's Salaries are not included. There is a special, appropriation, for their, sala ries, of Thirty-One thousand, Five Hun dred Dollars. Now the citizens of this County are desirous to learn what has' become of all ?this money. Have tho poor white chil dren of this County received their share? Have they received any of this money? How many are at school? Many white children are in destitute circumstances, and often one can find a large family whose Father was killed in the late war. Do not such stand in need of an Educa tion? Why is it that the public-spirited citizens of each Township refuse to look into this matter, and seo that they get their share of this money appropriated for th? Education of the destitute ? These large amounts of money, besides the capitation Tax, have been collected ; and it is the duty we owe to tho poor of thc County that immediato steps be taken to securo our portion of the same. I am aware that the citizens ofthis State are very loth to act in auy capacity where the office is held by Scalawags. But should we allow the County Treasu rer to collect thc money from tho Tax payers, and. appropriate it either to his own use, or to such purposesashe thinks worthy of his benevolence? Prior to thc war the sum of Thirty-Six Thousand Dollars, afterwards" increased to Seventy-. Two Thousand-Dollars, was amply suffi cient to . pay off thc first, second and third class scholars iii thc Freo Schools. Now, $150,000, will only pay the tuition of a few favorite scholars for five months in the year. I would bo glad to see our people- begin to look into this-matter and to act their part. They owe it to thc children of their falktn comrades in arms, if they do not to tho children of parents who are living. Those of us who haye survived the war should act our part well, and not al low thc officers of the County and.Sh to cheat and defhmd 'In .-|>h;u>> their just dues. 1 R?- T ;:I .-. do my part.

If ever any ono de served lynching it was Martin Meta, by hio own showing-, and although respect for the law should bc maintained, it is hardly worth while to arrest 500 or GOO of tho men who lynched him in order to maintain it.

IN this Village, on the morning of the 19th July, 1871, that good and well-be loved mother in Israel, Mrs. R. B. BOULWARE-a woman of many sore tri als and heart-crushing sorrows-was again forced to give, up to tho cold em brace of relentless Death, still another devoted and loving child,-that ever du tiful and affectionate daughter ANNA P. BOULWARE, in whom were centered so many amiable and lovely traita,, and which endeared her, oh ! so foncUy, to. mother, sisters, brother, friends. Yea,-the sweet and gentle spirit.of ANNA BOULWAKE hath left its. prison-house of sorrow and weaiy waiting, and soared away to a brighter and happier world on higti-to the blissful and blessed home of Him she learned at a mother's knee to love and praise,and Him who, from the sunny days of childhood to the maturer years* of womanhood, she always tried to serve and obey. She lived the life of thc pure-hearted, pious, devoted Christian, and now has "crossed tho River,", and the eternal joys of Heaven aro ber's. ' Let us, mourning friends, bow in hum ble resignation to the seeming alBictions of Him who only chasteneth lor our good -and so live on through tho few brief years allotted us. that in the end we too may have a bright hope of heaven,-and there with, our loved ones gone before, [.and tho severed ties of earth re-united, we will dwell forever in the City of our God.' *** DIED, on the 15th day of May, 1871, Mrs. MARTHA C. MAY, wife of Mr. ALBERT MAY, aged 31 years. Mrs. MAY joined the Baptist Church at Little Stevens' Creek when quite young, ' and though exposed to the levi ties and allurements of tho world, which sometimes ensnares and mislead one s? young, yet she niver swerved from the path of Christianjrectitude and duty. By her kindness pf heart, and meek and unobtrusive manners, Mrs. MAY won the friendship and esteem of all with whom she became associated. She possessed in an eminent degree those do mestic and amiable traits of character which make home attractive and lovable to husband and children. She met death calmly, and buoyed up by tho Christian'shope of. a blessed im mortality beyondie grave. L. DIED, on the 8tti June 1871, at tho resi dence of his brother S. TV. GARDNER, Esq., in Edgefield District, S. C., Mr. M. G. GARDNER, iaihcSfith year of his aSe. j- . The deceased wo a man pf. many vir tues,-was high-minded, honest, warm hearted as a friend]', and in fact was pos sessed bf all thc characteristics that con stitute thc true gentleman. He leaves manyfribnds to mourn for one whom tiley loved as a brother, uncle, 'relativo and friend; Mid they can hardly realize the fact that thc one whom they all loved so well, will never more bo seen on earth. Yet there ii one groat consola tion to the manyi friends who lament their great loss, fo'rf h.lothcy thus mourn their deceased friend ,s now in realms ol' immortal blessedness with angels and glorified spirits, for \.
