Progress of the Court. As we went to press last week, the case of the State against Flint, for the killing of Sharpton, was being argued before Ju?ge Melton. In this case Messrs Yoo mans cfc Sneppard appeared for the De fendant, Mr. Barnwell, for the State ; and all made earnest and able speeches. Flint was acquitted. * The nex t case tried, of any impor tance, was that of the State vs. Brewer, of Granite ville, charged with the killing of the negro woman who shot his (Brew er's) child. Messrs. Gary & Gary and Youmans & Shep iv xl for the defence, Mr. Barnwell rep.osenting the State. The State, however failed to make out a case, and the Solicitor gave the matter np and the case was dismissed, Mr. Brewer, for whom great sympathy was felt, departed for his home on the same day. On Friday afternoon the Court of Ses sions was adjourned. And Judge Mel ton dismissed the Juries-not retaining them for civil business this week. On Monday morning, the Court began with Calender No. 2, putting aside Cal der No. 1., which requires a jury. No business being ready, however, an ad journment was made . ^until Tuesday morning. On Tuesday and Wednesday certain civil business was dispatched -not of interest to the general public. On Tuesday we Vere pleased to see at our bar .one of , the most; distinguished members of tho legal profession, in South Carolina-Mr. Thompson, of Abbeville. Genl. Butler, of Columbia, and Major Baxter, of Newberry, have also been present for a short time during the ses sion. Genl. Butler was to have returned this week, but ie detained in Columbia by the Democratic Convention, to which he is a Delegate from Richland County. A pleasant feature of Tuesday morn ing's session was the appearance in Court of our gifted and popular townsman, Thomas P. Magrath, Esq. This sound, able and experienced lawyer, though much confined to his office now-a-days by ill health, is as vigorous and trench ant as in bis palmiest days. Many friends, who had not seen him tor some time, were delighted to greet him on this occa sion. And in this connection, we would re fer to the bold, concise, truthful and con scientious Report of the Grand Jury, which we publish this week. We haye seldom read a Report of this kind so cal ciliated to open peoples' ey?s to many public abuses, and to set on foot meas ures for the correction of tho same. Our citizens will no doubt mark well the words of the Grand Jury in regard to s the sale of lands for delinquent taxes. On Friday tho County Commissioners, through their attorneys, Messrs. Gary & Gary, submitted a lengthy report of their official actings and doings in answer to a Rule of last Court* to show cause why they should- not be indicted for neglect of their official duties. The report was very elaborate, Very plausible, and in the main a much better showing than we thought they could possibly bring forward. * Pond** Bouquet. " Ourindustriou8 and enterprisi ngyouug us with a bottle of superior Cologne of his own making. It is called " Penn's Bouquet," and has already aoliicved a grand success. We really speak the ab solute and literal truth when we say finer at purer Cologne was never made. So go to the Penn Drug Store and buy a bottle of the "Bouquet". Weheart?iat the pretty girls, around, call it M Willie's .Bouquet." A Sort of Kidnapping Case. On Tuesday last two little negro boys; Joe and Ezekiel, aged respectively about 12 and 14 years, were brought to our, town by an officer of the law, who had taken them on writ of Habeas Corpus from the possession of John Gillion, Lemuel Gillion and Lark Rodgers, citi zens, if we mistake not, of the Min? Creek section. The mother, Kitty Jack son, lives on the plantation of Mr. G. M. Broadwater, and avers that the aforesaid persons toc?k the children from the afore said plantation without her consent. She then wertt, and, getting hold of them, brought them back home. Subsequent ly, the Gillions and Rodgers again took them away forcibly. And now the mother has them on Habeas Corptut. We hear the boys hired themselves without the mother's consent. One of the boys looks ragged and worse for wear. As we have heard it, the tale makes Rodgers and the Gilleons appear decidedly -lawless and high-handed, and all good citizens will discountenance and disapprove of their conduct. Thc caso was heard on Tuesday evening before Messrs. Ramsay and Harris, Trial Josi ;es, and the children remanded to uheir mother, as'they doubtless should have been. r , Last week we commented in a mild way on a pair of contemptible Radical pimps who had been writing malicious lalsehoodn to the Scott Ring organ in Co lumbia, concerning thc Advertiser in particular, and slanderously abusive of the good people, in general, of Edgpfield. And we here state for the edification of these maliciously inclined scribblers, that .whenever they attempt through their dirty organ to misrepresent, and malign the good people of Edgcfield-ns honora ble and gallanta people as ever lived-we shall, without regard of the consequences, come to the defence of the latter. Our motto is: We will stand up for Edg?field and Edgcfield people forever, if right but right or wrong, wc are of them, and for them, and will silently suffer none to defame them Therefore, if the Radicals, like their master, Grant, cry ont "Let us have Peace," we answer, Hands off let us alone-and meddle not with tilings that do not concern you. And once maro, to close with. Radi : cal pimps and underlings-or Radical magnates either-may write their vile slanders concerning Edgefield and her people, but they may rest assured we shall sparc no pains to unmask them, and to smite them hip and thigh. The Lowe Bridge. ' We have been requested by interested citizens to eall tho attention oZ the County. Commissioners to the almost impassable condition bf the Lowe Bridge, on the Liberty Hill road, and to suggest to tho Commissioners the importance ofhav ing said Bridge repaired without delay. We hope Mr. Hailing, the Chairman of the Board, wi ll take tli is matter in hand, and have the repairs attended to, as this Bridge is on a much-travel od thorough fare, and it will be agreat convenience to the people to have it putin passable order. Weare informed that but little money is needed to do the necessary work, and if repaired soon may be tho means of saving the Bridge for some years. Let thc Commission* rs remem ber thc old adage that " a stitch in tim? saves nine," andenuiply }>roinptJ?' with thia request from tho good people in that Acknowledgement. 9 Oar fair and amiablb young friend, Miss Marie Abney; ncjw a pupil of the popular Institution of the Misses Sedg wick, in Augusta, has sent us an invita tion to attend the annual Sedgwick Con cert and Soiree Dansante at Masonic Hall on the 13th inst. Wc return her our most gallant thanks. ?St- We. understand a Committee, of gentlemen-practical cotton planters ?will shortly take atrip of some seventeen miles over on the "Dark Corner" sido of the District, to witness an unusual anomaly in the cotton plant thus early in thc season, Which we are assured by Mr. Press Blackwell, and other reliable gen tlemen, is already bursting its bolls and will soon be ready for the nimble fingers of the cotton pickers. We hope tosend a reporter with this bight-seeing and in vestigating Committee, and will present our readers with a full description of this new species of cotton, which is now ex citing considerable comment among cot ton planters. Mr. B. tells us that all the seed of this wonderful cotton have been engaged at fabulous prices. No Possibility of lt Proving Imperfect. We allude to Quibet?s Improved and Light Draft Cotton Oin. And our peo ple-for all our people are cotton planters -could not do better than study the card in another column, of Isaac T. Heard & Co., of Augusta; Commission Merchants, and General Agents, .par ex cellence, for the Gullett Gin.* These gen tlemen, whose very name is a guarantee, set forth the matter so forcibly in their advertisement, that we feel we need strive to add nothing. Do not neglect, therefore, to ponder long and well over the merits of the Gullet Cotton Gin. S3** A fine variety of choice Segars just received at Clisby's Drugstore, lt Bearing on the Oats Question. . In another column, Elbert Devore, Esq., of the Kirk soy's X Roads section, one of our most enlightened citizens and most progressive farmers, offers for sale a large quantity of Red Rust-Proof Oats. We hear such wonderful accounts of this gentleman's success in raising this spe cies of grain that we would like very much to have a statement of his mode o? cultivation. 63T A large supply of fresh Confec tioneries, very fine, now on .hand at Clis by's Drug Store. * .. lt . -A Great Storm* CHICAGO. June 8.-Further reports con cerning the great storm of Thursday night in central Illinois,- show that an immense amount of damage was done in Peoria, Fulton, Knox and other counties in that section of the State. The destruction of the bridges on the country roads has bt en almost universal. 'In the city of Peoria fences and trees were blown down and cellars were filled with water. Every rail road leading out ot the city suffered more or less, and no trains left there yesterday.. CHICAGO, June 8.-The Burlington and Quincy Railroad had about four miles ol its track andlhany bridges swept away. The Toledo, Peoria and Wabash Road also suffered severely, losing one bridge of 150 feet in length, and thc entire road bed ir. a number of places. A large number of' men have been set to work repairing dam ages, and there will be but little interrup tion to train?. In the town of Hilton the damages are ?fearful, and the town is al most entirely under water, and barn's, stock, &c, have been swept miles away. The most singular circumstance of the storm is the running up-stream of the Il linois river. The immense volume of wa ter that poured into the stream has created a backwater, and there is a strong current running northward. The river last night was still rising rapidly, and fears of seri ous damage from thin nooroo woro enter tained. THE CAUSE OF THE ADVANCE IN COT TON.-Thc Financial Chronicle, of May 31, attributes the advances last week to the very small receipts at the United States ports, together with the lmprove I ment at Liverpool, which, in a limited [ way. revived the demand for export, and enabled the bulls to. get a twist on the shorts. Although the advance is the re sult of theiact that the shprts have been cornered, the movement bas been helped 'forward by the steadiness of the legitimate demand from American spinners and from shippers leading to a rapid reduction in stocks'. The Chronicle thinks the advance 'is not mainly due to speculation. \ The same paper makes' the visible sup ply 2,'250,'?75, against 2,098,335,' showing an increase of .the cotton in sight on May 31st 152,240 bales more than at the same date lost year. The American cotton in sight was 695,275 bales on May. 31st, against 1,165,245 same date in 1871, show ing a decrease of 460,970. The India cot ton is so much larger than last year as to make-the total suppiy larger. - ? *j<tti? ;-j The Germans of Nashville, Ten nessee,, held an enthusiastic Greeley meeting on the 25th' ult., and adopted resolutions renouncing former alliances, and assuming a neutral position until a , party shall offer based upon the principle I of honesty in government. ?ST J. Henry Burch, a colorod delegate from Louisiana, now in Philadelphia, who has boen Interviewed, says, " War moth, who leads the Greeley interest there, has been nominated for governor, with Pinch back for lieutenant-governor, which virtually places the State in the possession of the Greeley party. ?sr- Tho Milwaukee (Wisconsin) News, the leading Democratic paper of that State, which at first pronounced against the Liberal ticket, has changed its viewB, and now advises the endorsement of firceley xt Baltimore. The Chicago Times says that Wisconsin will send a Greeley delegation to the Baltimore convention. ?Sf The Democratic and Liberal Re? publican conventions of Illinois both meet at Springfield on June 20, and will nominate a State ticket in concert. Sena tors Trumbull and Schur?, Governor Gratz Brown and Geo. H. Pendleton, of Ohio, have been invited to speak, and a great demonstration is expected. ?f*r- The Judge Advocate ol the Bueil Court Martial was Don Piatt, and hr declares tho testimony produced at the trial was very damaging to General tirant;, and this is? probably the reason why tho record wan stolen from the War J Department. . In the official report of I thc battle of Inka, General Grant was I accused of willful uiisrepresention, and, t what is more to the purpose, the charge is proved, according to General Rose eranz. This report is also missing. Tho famine in Persia, which now seems to be drawing near its close has boen productivo.of an amount of misery almost unparalleled in modern times 'Captain Pierson, an Englishman, who has recently travelled in that unhappy country, describes tho last stage of the famine as worse than thc first. On his journey from Shiraz to Tehoran he found the road strewn with half-eaten corpses; cannibalism was very prevalent, and s tar v at i OH had aroused the usually peacea ble inhabitants to despair, and brigandage and other crimes of violence were rife all along the roads, In the capital alone, ont of a population of 80,000, at least 20,000 had lallen victims to the famine and ita attendant diseases. ^-Miss Drummond, tho Quaker preacher, was asked whether the spirit ever inspired her with tho thought of getting married.
