State, ?lay its da3-s be long in the land, and when its sun -sholl come to its setting,-may-thor? be no cloud to mar the splendor of the. | horizon! ... _ rt . And whilst riding quietly along, I met n friend who informed me of the horri? ble and atrocious murder which hud just been committed near J. M. Harria?m's1-^ in the neighborhood of-Gilgal,?-the .very redial of which caused my blood to ehill in my veins, and called to my mind the deeds of tho "dark and bloody ground"-in the days* of Daniel Boons-, And what adds peculiar. horror > to this crime, the unfortunate victim was ai woman, and she ery?entK. The facts of this horrid deed, as elicited from my friend, are substantially these,\,\ The parties weraall colored. The man's . name is John Mitchel, .and the murdered woman's was Sarah F?mp, all Hying atid, working on tho plantation, of Mr. Harri Ron. Mitchel and- thia woman had a I falling out about the crop,, late i? the. a?-,.| ternoon of Thursday,, the 25th inst., and Mitchel having a largo claw hammer in his .,hand, struck her over the head knocking her down and ..never ( ceasiryr, j until he had beaten her head and face in*, a frightful manner.' Efer skull was'b'roJ", j ken through ih several places. He then * concealed the body; and afW night fall, took it tfpon his horse and carried'itWo mile's off, hldmg'it away in ? dismal^ Swamp, where he thought the eye b?f\ niau would never penetrate. The woman. being so?njnissod, suspicion was aroused, ' arid the husband of the deceased asked Mitchel if he had seen anything of rds .wife, and wa3 informed by him that she had gono down the road that evening in search of the cows. The next morning the husband of the deceased went in the-| direction indicated by Mitchel, and found the hammer with which the murder had been committed,?all clotted with bloody| and bloou upon the ground near by.;. Sus pecting foul play, he took the hammer, returned to the house, and informed the other freedmen cf it. Suspicion at .^nce fell upon Mitchel, who being, accused, owned that the hammer was h Uv and then that "small xoice,"-the voice of conscience,-spoke-to lum rn tones that startled him to the enormity of his orime, and he at once made a full confession, and told where the body could be found. He was at once taken into custody, and it was with great difficulty the colored people could be kept from lynching him by hanging him to tho pearest tree. A jury was summoned, arid an inquest held over the body by John C. Hams, Trial Justice, acting Coroner, on Friday, and a verdid.T?ii?ered ju accordance with the above facts. The Jury' alBO recommended that Mariah Mitchel-, the wife of tito accused, be arrested, ? as ac cessory to the deed. Andi have since learned that both were lodged in jail nt Edgefield C. H.. Bidding my friend good-day, I pro ceeded on my journey," and " Winding through the everglado Where my school-boy scenes were laid," I discovered agathering of freedmen, with a sprinkling of whites, inagrovi near the residence of Mr. Pmtler Wil iiains. Being .ftwxiou.v ter ascertain it> cause, I rode upVto the scene, and there, mounted upon n plank, I beheld my old friend and school-mate, Dr. W. D. Jen nings, Sr., addressing -the assembly, being then ll qjclock, sind the day von wann, I concluded to remain and han thc Doctor thronixh. He advised -tin colored people to elect only honest Inch to ofiioc, if tiley ivishcd (o prosp?v ns race, and enjoy tho hoon of freedom RO lately bestowed upon them ; to hurl from nfivv tho-luon who had proved recreant to tiioir trust, and fill their places with men who are tho servants nf tho people, und who would work for the interest ot the people, and not for their own greedy and sui hall purposes. As for himself, he said, he did not want any office ; ho. was \ gt-tiing old and bjind, but he hoped to live to .see the day when a-native l?oru South .Carolinian would once more be placed in thc Gubernatorial Chair of this Suite; and that oi'all men spoken of for (?ovonior,-the one who, in his opinion, .would /ill that position to the satisfaction of Mic entire' people, was Judge Samuel W. Melton. He said thal he knew Jnd| Melton when a boy, he knew him aaa lawyer, and that asa .Judge ho h?u" ad ministered thu law with even justice to nil-a man who, by his dignity a's h gen tleman, and ability as a judge and jurist, had won himself the love and respect of all classes in (he communities whcroTie had presided, and who, as long as he sat upon tho bondi, would keep tho ermine as unsullied as Iii tho'days when Glover, Munro and Dawkins graced the bench of South CaroJin;i. The Doctor strongly iidffocated thc election of 'Greeley as' President, us the only friend of-the col ored people. He said that Greeley was1 the great founder of the Republican par *y, and that he fought for lhrty ywuv. to etntfneipate tho slaves) and that tli? col ored people owed their freedom tor-day < to'Uoracc (?reelcy, and that as he had ?ueeeeded in freeing flew, he hoped ho would be elected,, so that he could free the A\-hi te people of the Sooth also. Thc Doctor spoke for nearly two'hourS, and i regret that my time and space will not permit me to give a more extended view of his \\ell-timed remarks, lie tuWtiih cojpr?4 'ueopie^hat' &r?yMp|tgij in Edgefield ou-;ht to have an office, and that he was going t? try to get one for diem' all. And after he cdndSided, _ 'ncafdan old colored ni ari tinging''thc; following Hung, to the tune of;"Oh want to ari angel.'' " Oh I want to have an office, ? And in an office stand, .With plenty,of brass upon my lace, Ami greenbacks in my-hand; ' Arid nbw'to get thal office, ' I will vote for Horace G. . . Excepting fn thc meantime Gniiil promises Lt tb we," PARK CORDER. ?St'A 'Columbia corresponde/il of the Chester Reporter says: "The warfare waged by Orr, Corbin, Mackey, clul'om nc genus, against Scott and !'thc Ring" is a striking caso of " black dog' and monkey'," and wo. ahould do flo ?riooe I than hurrah for "black dog" andhufrah" for "monkey." If' thoy will make a " itilkenny cat fight" of it, so much the' better for ns. I'oonfoss I have no confidence in th?se devils effecting any reform within tkerh selvei. Thoy aro'oil "tarred with thc same stick." They cannot afford to quarrel, and their promises are utterly unreliable. Orr is very little bettor than Scott and Moses, and they are but One degree better than the devil. Orr has inftuence'neither with the whites'orne grtites. Scott, Moses & Co. carry the ne goes'in their pockets andwHl whip Orr and Corbin out of sight." A colored man by the name of Johnson, residing ip lower Aiken, last week, beat his1 son, a yoiith about thir teen years'of age, in a most brutal man ner, knocking down with a stick of wood and stamping him.
