Excitement in Savannah.
Mr. De Montmollin, of Savannah, rent
otl his plantation ton milos above the
city to a Mr. Zetler, but fin "lade him to
sub-let any portion of it to negroes. Zet
ler however disregarded this, and did
sub lot tho land. Mr. TH'Montinollin
then went up and had Zetler ejected, and
drove off some of the negroes, while
others consented to rem ?in and be hired
by Mr. I>e Montmollin. Tho latter, af
ter, after this, returned to the city; but
hearing soon that the i;smissed negroes
had determined to go back to the planta
tion and drive off those who had remain
ed, he again went up, taking with him
two friends Messrs. Kent and Slyer.
They wore attacked by the disaffected
negrees-a large and well-armed band
and all three wounded-Mr. Slyer mor
tally. And not only wounded, but taken
off by the negroes to Bluffton on the
South Carolina coast. At latest advices
they were still in the hands of the ne
groes nt Bluffton, and it is feared Mr.
Slyer is already dead. Savannah is even
now iii a high state of excitement over
this bloody and high-handed outrage.
Disastrous Eilects of Martini Law.
Thc Columbia Phonix, of Sunday, says:
Our information from Spartanburgnnd
York is that a feeling of great insecurity
and excitement prevails in those counties.
Many have left their homes to avoid mili
tary arrest. Yesterday, at Yorkville.
there had been forty four persons placed
In jail, and our informant states that five
hundred or six hundred persons had left
their farms-laving their crops exposed
to depredation. At this period of the
year the Injury resulting to the business
intorosts ol' these disturbed communities
from the present state of affairs must be
very great.
There was a rumor of a collision be
tween the citizens and the military at
some point on Broad river, but tiiis re
port is probably unfounded.
A special telegram to tho Charleston
News, dated Columbia, Oct. 23d, says
Eighteen citizens of York County were
arreste1 last night, charged with being
members of thcKu-KIux Society, and
there are forty already in jail in York
ville on the same charge.
Attorney-General Akerman is person
ally aiding Marsha? Johnson in his raid
on the proclaimed counties.

Important Decision.
Tiio Charleston News, of yesterday
contains tho following decision of a
homestead case :
I i a case where judgment had been re
covered before Judge Carpenter, June,
1870, in which" that Judge held that tho
defendant was not entitled to a home
stead, and the homestead which had been
before set off to the defendant was taken
out of his posssession and the plaintill
put in possession thereof. Judge Ora
hani this week ma le an order, on motion
of Mr. Knowlton, he defendant's coun

the proceedings under it, ordering a new
trial in the tuse, and giving the defend

om.- in and plead his right of homestead.

Foremost Among Our Household
Tho war is so lately over, and Its im
dents ar? still so fresh in our incmorii
that we are uot inclined to value prop*
ly any 11 ?story ol' the greut struggle,
tliis, wc are committing amistake. The
is such a History that every Southe
family should possess-The "Life
Cen IL E. Lee," by John Esten Cooli
of Virginia. This is no hastily writt
work. Mr. Cooke, Virginia's finest ai
most experienced scholar, has been bu
upon it from the time of tho surrend
down to thc present clay, and it has :
ready received the unbounded enco
aims of the world at large. The bo<
is published by the Appletons of Nt
York and the style of its typograph
engravings, and binding, is incompai
bly beautiful. ?
Our honored fellow-citizen, Capt.
M. Talbert, Agent for the sale of t
book, has presented us with a cop
which we value very highly and sh<
place foremost among our househo
gods. The price of the book is $5.(
Even regarding its mechanical executh
only, it is richly worth every cent of tl
money.
The Trutli from the Other Side.
From a late issue of the Beaufort Ji
publican we extract the following :
The editor of tho Daily Union, h
worked himself into a fever heat regan
ing the AU Klux bands, which, accon
ing to his statement are as countless;
numbers, as the clans of McGregor. 1
sees them in his dreams, in his wakii

cases to produce permanent cure. Wi]
out the present State administration fro:
the Governor down to the thieving legi

minor appointments, clean them awa;
and there will then be no Ku Klux hoi
rors to frighten his di soused i magi nat io:
Scenes and Incidents of the Gre;
Chicago Fire.
A GRAVEYARD OK FIRE.-A corresnoi
dent of the New York Tiibune, describir
the fire, says : This region, /iver by tl
lake and thc gre.it Lincoln Park, scenic
to offer safety. So a great rush was ma-.'
for the paik, and the refugees made then
selves comfortable in thc delusion of sect
rity. After ravaging to thc limits of tl:
city, with the wind dead against it, tl
fire caught the dried grasses, ran along tl
fences, und in a moment covered in
burning glory the Catholic Cemetery an
the grassy stretches of the great nar!
The marbles over the graves crackc i an
baked, and fell in glowing embers on tl
hot turf. Flames shot up from thc res'
ing-places of the dead, and the living ft
...iiives, screaming with horror, made for
moment the ghastliest spectacle that ev<
fell upon livingeyes. The receiving vaul
solidly built, and shrouded in foliage, fe
under the terrific flame, and the dea
burst from their coffins as the fire toi
through the walls of the frightful charin
house. In the broad light of to-day tl:
place is tho most ghastly I ever saw, nc
even Cold Harbor exceeding it in awfi
suggest i veness. Above the graves chai
red stones stand grim sentinels of tl
. lead, no more memorials of anvthing bi
disaster. Every inscription has attar
peared, and even the dead are robbed b
thc flames.
It seemed that ead. hour of that lon
night developed some new and terribl
phase of sufi'ering. A woman came rui:
ning up to a group of gentlemen and ash
ed if there was a doctor anywhere in th
crowd. One was soon forthcoming
Dr. Miller-and he was informed that hi
services were required to assist the prc
gress of a child into the world. He return
ed in an hour and reported that the dein
en- had been safely accomplished, and th
mother was " doing as well as could b
expected." No ?ess than three childrei
were bom iu Lincoln Park within fifteei
hours-prematurely, doubtless, by the ex
citement of the scenes through which th
mothers had passed. It was a very com
mon sight i" see people stretched out oi
a pallut of straw, Buttering from difieren
diseases, many of them having been sum
moued from a sick bed at home to sav
their lives.
A diminutive sheet, bearing the familia
name of the Chicago Evening Post, bu
very unfamiliar in its make-up and gene
ral appearance, gives forth the same un
daunted, cheery tone of old, and speak;
encouragingly thus :
" The people of Chicago are in ashe:
and mourning ; but they are alive witl
hope and courage. Only while their en
ergies were employed in checking the de
st rael ion of their homes and busbies:
houses were they deterred from the worl
of beginning again. Only yesterday Chi
cago seemed a smoking, charred and" hope
less min. To-day it is almost itself again
Enough is saved to make a beginning
and a beginning every man, woman alic
child "ems determined to make.-'
The basement of the Chicago Courl
House was the County jail. Nearly ?o?
prisoners were confined therein. It is re
ported, but I know not with what cor
rectness, that nearly all these prisoners
were left locked up in their cells, and
that they were burned alive. The sto
ry is, that the jailor and the turnkeys,
foreseeing thc great danger, released some
twenty of the prisoner.-, and marched them
ac -'is.s the river to the police station of the
.ec .ni precinct. Thinking they would be
ible ." return in ample lime, the officers
I ?eked-up all the great doors leading to
the jail. On their re! urn, however, the
oi 1 Coori House was one sheet of fian. \
Tin! intense heat kept every one back, .'.id
di ti; ?se i.ninan beings were left to their
horrible fate.
There was a large jewelry store and a
liu.ik nearly opposite. The fire had touch
ed these, and tho doors had been broken
onon to let the firemen run their hose
through the buildings. "William Tracey
md Barney Aaron went for the jewelry
store, while Brown and Munday struck for
the bank. Both parties were captured.
Two lamp-posts were convenient, and
jonie of the citizens' special police clcya
? i Tracey and Aaron thereon: but a
sweeter ; te befel Messrs. Munday and
Srown. They were captured by some of
the infantry from 'Jr..aha-men who sneak
i-, a thief with the butts of their muskets,
.md ask him where he is going with the
muzzle. The consequence was natural.
Munday and Brown wer? stood up with
heir backs against the '.vail of a house
ind the rifles of the soldiers did the rest.
<o ended the Chicago career of the Aaron
jang of thieves.
In three cases persons jumped from the
windows, and two children were tied up
in beds an 1 thrown from the fourth story
window, and landed on the pavement un
injured. A Mr. Jarvis had a broken leg
from -['ringing from the second story win
low, and others were bruised from the
same cause;.
Many people in the haste of their es
lape, abandoned everything, even to jow
lly and money. I saw one fellow's pock
et half full ol' jewelry and watches. I
ipokc of it, but in an Instant he lost him
self from my view in the crowd. I saw a
villainous-looking negro with a- ladies'
chatelaine (hain suspended awkwardly at
his vest. The little girl I had, walked
until the liol pavements blistered her lit
tle feet ; then we earned her. "ls papa
and inania burnt ip? Is Neddie burnt
up dead ?" she piteously asked. Late at
night we found them all safe, It was
nearly morning before we obtained shelter
and food. I never want to set eyes upon
Chicago again.
At the intersection of Randolph and
Market-streets was a larcje building (Cal
lom's,) used for offices. The janitor resid
ed on the fouiih flo' - withins family, con
sisting of a wife and four children. By
this they were unable to escape. Sur
rounded by fire, they ascended to the roof.
The babe was in thc mother's anns, and
another child, a little boy, clung to her
skirts. Two girls were clasped in the arms
of the father. Their shouts were but faint
ly heard over the howl of the winds and
the roar of thc flames. At last thc heat
became so intense that the woman was
overcome and fell to the roof. Thc father
wildly threw out his hands and staggered,
writhed and sunk by his wife's side. That
was all of that holocaust tragedy. The
shoes and clothing of aU the party at
tested the severity of the ordeal through
which they had passed.
Below us in the square, among the crowd,
we recognized a man who had often preach
ed infidel sermons, or rather tirades, from
the su ns, and frequently was stopped by
the police on account of the great distur
bance lie incited. Now he was wringing
his hands as if'in agony, and wailing ant
shouting, " Where is God now ! Where is
God now! Show us the angels !" etc. This
he continued until an officer collared and
thrust him into the basement, where his
ravings were less audible.
I saw a man on Monday looking in
tently and seriously at his block of five
story stores on Water street, then writh
ing and roaring in the flames. I knew
him and watched him. His gaze was rivet
ed. I pitied him heartily, for I judged
that he was on the verge of despair. At
last I ventured to approach and break his
reverie. " Well, Blake, what are you
thinking of?" said I. "Ah-hi" said
he, with a smile, "I was thinking the rats
must be catching hell !"
One more:-It was but yesterday that
I saw Blakely, editor of the Pvening Post,
hovering around infrontofthe ruins of |
the office. He picked up a brick face
tiously and spat upon it. "What for?" I
asked. " Seeing whether they're cool
enough to clear out and build over again,"
was the reply. This reveals all of the
spirit of cheerfulness there is. The mirth
is rather forced: there is plenty of pluck,
but it has a solid substratum of serious
meditation.
Found Drowned.
NEW YORK, October 23.-Tho body
found in East river this morning has been
identified as that of young Pryor, son of |
Roger A. Pryor. ?t is not known in
what manner ho came to his death, and
perhaps the mystery may never be cleared
up. A peculiar sadness attaches to this
severe domestic affliction in the bright
promise of the manner and loveable
character of this young man. He had
but little more than a year ago graduated
at Princeton with higher honora than had
ever before been won In that Institution
by tho most distinguished of its Alumni.
The intervening period has been spent
by him in a great part at Cambridge, in
England, where he won a prize in math
ematics. A few months ago he returned
to the United States, and has since been
prosecuting the studv of law in the office
of his father.
(?rant Speaks a Piece.
TonTLAXD, ME., October 20.-Grant
had a showy reception here. Responding
to a serenade, he said : " I have a vivid
recollection of visiting vour city six years
ago. This is the second time I have been
in your city, and am much pleased with
the reception here as well as at other
places I have visited in your State. If I
do not come oftener than I have hereto
fore, I shall not make many more visits
here before I shall bo quite an old man."

SING?LAI: TRAGEDY.-A singular trag
edy is reported from Switzerland. Last
spring the wife of a peasant died at Gri
sons. A few hours before her death she
took a pill which had been prescribed by
the medical man who was attending her.
After her death the husband, who was pas
sionately attached to his wife, got the
fixed idea that the pill contained poison,
and that it was owing to her having taken
it that his wife died, and with continually
brooding over this thought he became
quite melancholy, and a few days ago
took his two children, aged respectively 8
and 12 years, and beat out their brains
with a hammer, after which he cut his
own throat. In a letter, which was found
on a table in his bed room, he stated that
as he was unable to live without his wife,
he had taken the shortest means to join
her, with their children, in the other
world.
Thu New York Herald, referring to the
proclamation declaring martial ?aw in Sonth
Carolina, in tho course of an editorial on thc
subject, has this to ray : " Coming upon usjust
at this time of universal charity and good will
among men, it jars upon the public ear as an
unexpected and unwelcome sound."
??i~ Tho 2*ciL'be)-ry Herald says: Last
Wcdnctday night a negro man, who gave hi*
nume as Li LU us Ruff, alias Luuus Suber, alias
Bill Holloway, entered tho second ?tory win
dow of Mr. Foot's residence, by ascending n
tree and getting upon tho porch. Ho raised
thc window and catered tho chamber cf the
young ladies, who wore aroused from sleep bj
tho villain's placing his hand up-jn thc throat
of ouc of the young ladies. Their ?crean-s
awoke tho family, wbon the fellow made his
iscapc. Ho was ?oon after tracked and taken
by tho young men of tho family, and lodged
in jail. This outrage will serve as a warning
to our citizens to be watchful.

JT ia with a gratifying pleasure that we announce to our friends and pat
rons-whom we are proud to say number legions, and to whom we are
greatly indebted. for the success to which we have attained in Augusta-.
that we are, at last, in the NEW ROOMS which we have been adding to
our present building, and that we have filled them,from the FIRST to the
FOURTH stories with''all the choice and elegant goods bf the season, and
we cordially extend an earnest invitation to one and all
To Pay them a Special Visit
And see what has been done for their convenience as well as for the great
display of all the ELEGANT GOODS OF THE SEASON.
Never have we had the pleasure of exhibiting so fine a stock of goods,
commencing from the lowest grades of [3
Domestics to the Finest Fabrics Required in our Market,
AND AT PRICES NEVER ANY JLOWER.
If we wished to, we would scarcely know where to commence to enumer
ate, as every department is full.
To one of the new features we wish to call, the especial attention of the
Ladies, and that is to our
SILKrCLOAK, SHAWL, SUIT AND FUR ROOMS.
To these we have paid an especial attention in fitting up, and in which we
hope to see them all, and'we will not object if they bring the gentlemen
along with them. Be sure and come.

PEOPLE OF EDGEFILD
LOOK!TO. YOUR INTEREST !
IT is a well known fact that since the close of tho war there' has been
more deception practiced in the manufacture of Shoes, than in any other
article of real necessity; and that the people have well-nigh lost confidence
in those who sell them. I propose, as far as in me lies, to remedy this
evil, and to proclaim to the
GOOD PEOPLE OF EDGEFIELD,
And all who honor me with their patronage, that I will never engage in
such a trific ; that I will hold myself accountable for the faithful represen
tation of every article sold, and never permit the slightest infraction of the
principles of Honor and Fair Dealing.
Never before'has abettor class of goods been brought to this market.
They will be sold IO Pei* Cent, lower than at any period since the
war. Reclamation will be made in every instance when
BOOTS AND SHOES
Bought of me, do not give ENTIRE SATISFACTION. Shoes cheerfully
EXCHANGED, or MONEY REFUNDED.
Come and buy your Shoes, where you have the Positive assurance of |
being Honorably and Fairly dealt with.
No Second Price. No "drummers" employed. Fair dealing or none,

The Piedmont ci ?r\tngtpn if? Ins?

of the New Yorlt?nsurance Department,
and is working successfully in that State,
in competition with the leading Compa
nies of the United States, and is thc.only
Southern Company that is working in
New York.
The Insurance Laws of New York are
more stringent, and afford better protec
tion to policy-holdcrs^than thosoTrf any
other State "or Country, every Cqfitpany
doing business there being'utidertkc: su
pervision of a Superintendant who "has
authority at any time to inspect the Books
of the Company, and to whom an Annu

has to)bel submitted, i
The policy holders insured in the Pied

ganized in New York, withftho advan
tage, ?f being" irt ? Southern, Company,
numbering over 15,000 Policy holders,
and established beyond a possibility of
failure. ' * *
The Policy-holders of the- Piedmont &
Arlington share in the profits of the Com
pany from the date of their investment,
while the Stock-holders oP other Compa
nies retain the uso of their money two,
three, and in some cases, four years, be
fore allowing any participation in profits.
Policy-holders in all other Companies
will find a clause in .their Policies, sta
ting that if they "die in consequence of
violation of the law of the State in which
they reside, or any other State,", their
policies are forfeited, j The Piedmont &
Arlington makes no such exceptions, but
paid in Edgefield last year $10,000 from
two deaths killed in fights, which, ac
cording to the plain reading of other pol
icics, would have been forfeited. ? sim
