Some time nco, a negro there, of very bad reputation, named Bug Pierce, wantonly shot and killed a young man, by the nam ? of Joseph Coleman, who went to his house, as an officer of the law. After this, Pierce fled immediately to Atlante and thence to Washington City. On Friday night last he returned to his hoi io. bringing with him ii guard of three I . S. Sol.lion Having murdered an officer of the law in cold blood, the Govemm nt sent him back with bayonets to bra\e an outra ged community. As soon as he arrived, the civil authorities arrested him upon a charge of murder. And on Saturday night last, while under the charge of au officer, a par; yoi disguisednie:i suddenly appeared, seized and secured the ?fficer, tied the negro, threw him into > cart, and drove off with him. The cart, which belonged to the officer's premises, came back to tho placa next morning, but linne of the party of tho previous night with ii. It is believed Pierce re-, eeived summary punishment ibr the murder of young Coleman. Un Monday afternoon last a company of U. S. Sol diers arrived in Bartow, the county town of Jefferson, with instructions to arrest a number of citizens. Couldn't Lie und Truckle Suffi cien tl y.

To thc Editor of thc Union: DEAR Sin :-Mav I ask a small space in your most excellent paper for the pur pose ol' giving your readers an account of the Ku Klux doings in the good old county of Edgefield, a county that has boen noted for its great quietness and conservative principle ? There is a part of Edgefield county which is known by the" name of thc " Dark Corner ;" forwhat reason I kr ow not; perhaps for some bloody transac tion, such as I am going to narrate. About three weeks ago last Saturday night, in that part of the county already named, an aged colored man and his family were aroused by a very loud oall ing at the door by a party demanding tliatthe door be opened and that he should come out, as they wished to speak to him. He refused'to open the door, but said that he would on tho morrow bo at Red Oak Grove church, and that there they could see him. That promiso did no good; they became more furious, and swore that if he did not open they would break down tho door. Thc old man's young men nearly grown to manhood, said to tho lather that they would open tho door, and il" need be die in defense of their home. They armed themselves, one witli a double-barrel gun well loaded with buckshot, (none ol' your bird shot,) tiie other with one ol' thc' best ul" pistols. Tiie young men then opened the door. The moment it was opened they were fired upon. They returned the lire, anti immediately after they heard sounds ol distress coming from 'ne direction they had fired. They then went out a shoi? distance from tftu house, and found two young, white men wounded; one badly in tin- thigh and lying on the ground, the other in tiie arm. Now, Mr Editor, what do you think did these young colored men do? To their everlasting honor be it said that in stead ol' doing what, perhaps, many oth ers would have done under such cir cumstances-murdered tho wounded ?nen; they took them up, carried them into their house, and like good Samari ums hound up their wounds, at the same time telling them that to Edgefield Court House they must go. In the meantime some of tho wounded mon's comiedes, who ingloriously fled at the fir.<tt onset returned, and while at sonic, distance from the houso called aloud to know i: they might come in. They were told to cunio in, that the inmates ol'the house vvereiioi afraid of a dozen such. The wounded men and their comrades beg ?jed and pleaded so much to have thc matter dropped, expressing great sor row f u- what tie.-y had done, saying that they liad been promised the pitiful sum . 'i icu dolttwx to perform tiie damnable job of-Ku-Kluxiug. So alter much fair promises and the paying of one hundred dollars to tho family before midnight, thc eolorcit man premised to keep tin nantes of tlw party inviolate, although well known to him; AN OLD REPUBLICAN. The above article we clip from the Co lumbia Union of a late date, to show the people of Edgefield a sample of the mis crubl? falsehoods ?hat aro being circula ? ed for party effect by certain despicabh character*:! ii our midst.

No cotton crop reports purporting P have come from the Department r.f Ag riculture during lin- [Mist month have been genuine. The items in circulation, ?ftcu contnidicton in toner, assumed.tc bc ofiicial, h;i\ e hud no origin in the Sta tistical data of that billet!. Tho retiirns of August an?! September include report* from about 400 coM n growing counties, representing a fory huge proportion o' the cotton area; Those for August point : i an avonigcfc?nditionof the cropalmost] identic:'! with that of tho precedingre >rt. The averages for Alabama ami Mississippi Ix nu: the same; tiloso of? Louisiana," Arkansas cod Tennessee be I :i ; higher, and those of oilier cotton .-..ates lower. Thc Slate averages of thc Senti m ber report are somewhat lowei than those of August, though tito princi pal depreciation occurs in thc States which yield a small proportion of the. :rop, while the'reduction is lightinthe important district represente.! by tin States ol' Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi uid Louisiana. The per ccutag?'?f Tull oudition in the first week of September, as averaged from all attainable data, i.s. Hms stated : North Carolina eighty-two; .louth Carolina 'ighty; Georgia seventy eight; Florida .evenly live ; Alabama ighty; Mississippi eighty; Louisiana seventy-seven; Texas eighty-one; Ar kansas ninety-live; Tencessec ninety ix. Thero are reports of injuries by thc boll worm ain't caterpillar, mainly in Mississippi and Louisiana, but no evi dence that a general or very serious loss from insects is probable. Rust is com in ii tn tho Atlantic States, audio some extent on thc Gulf coot. Drought has been injurious in the Carolinas and Texas, though tho reports of rain fall through tiie South indicate a fair supply of moisture, tho distribution of which has been somewhat more unequal than usual. Atone point in Georgia the tall in August was nearly fourtoeu inches, and in parts of Florida it amounted to twenty-three inches. These variable af> niospheric conditions have increased the prevalence of rust, and caused the dc truction both of leaves and fruit. These drawbacks, though greater than those reported in September o f last year, aro not sufficiently serious to excite appro-] houstons of a greatly depreciated yield. '?'hey aro reported each year iu some portions of tho Cotton area" In tho record of last year thero was considerable complaint >'( damage to the cotton crop from rust, worms and unfa vorable August weather. These facts do not point to an enlargement of the ex pectation hitherto indulged. If they are reliable the most favorable season would -?.are ly bring a crop, exceeding .three and one-third million of bales. If the growing season should be short or unfa vor:'l ile millions would be a good result, and with a combination of unfa vorable circumstances, thoproduct might be still further reduced, HYMENEAL._ MARRIED, <>n the 7th Sept., attho resi :. ru.i tiie bride's father.
