The Horse Disease. BALTIMORE, November ?L Thirty-seven of the eighty seven horse cars of this city have been taken off the road, and the cars now stop their trios*iat ll P. M. It is estimated that four thou sand horses aie affected. WASHINGTON. November 1. The horse malady is undoubtedly here, but it seems less severe than at points further North. At noon to-day there were fifty-one sick ?horses on the Avenue Railroad. PHILADELPHIA, November 1. The horse disease ?3 breaking out among the racers, and the Suffolk Park races have been postponed in consequence. No fatal cases have yet occurred, but some ten thousand horses are affected. NEW YORK November 1. There were eight hundred deaths of horses here yesterday. CINCINNATI, November 1. Twelve hundred horses here are affected with the plague. CHICAGO, November 1. There are seven hundred cases of horse disease here. PITTSBURG, November 1, Fifty cases of the hois* malady have appeared here. NEW YORK November, 2.-The malady is rapidly abating. The weather is brac ing. 83 deaths yesterday ; 146 in Brooklyn. BOSTON, November 2.-No improve ment. CHICAGO, November 2.-There are be tween three and four thousand sick horses here. NEW YOP.X, November 4. evening. The disease is evidently abating. The disagreeble feature of the epidemic is the number of carcasses in the streets-facili ties for removal not being equal to the de mand. GOLDSBORO, N. C., November 4.-The malady is here. CHARLESTON, S. C., November 4. The malady is here. A majority of horses and mules are more or less affected. The Concert for the Benefit of the Young Men's Christian Association. The attendance at the Amateur Concert, on Thursday evening last, was not as large as the character of the performance or the object of the concert deserved. The audience, however, was an appreciative | one, and thoroughly enjoyed the fine music of the occasion. Mrs. Mahon was enthusiastically re ceived, and fully justified her reception by her delightful singing. " Zo Trompette Guerri?re" was beautifully rendered, and her perfect control of voice in most difficult passages of vocalization enrapured her hearers. With a voice, full round and sympathetic, thoroughly cultivated, a perfect appreciation of the sentiment of J composers, and admirable taste and feeling combined make her singing exquisite. Mr. James Bacon rendered the Overture from " The Merry Wives of Windsor" with great brilliancy of execution and good taste. He is by'far the most finished Amateur Pianist within our knowledge. Miss Erwin sang " Ernani, Ernam, In volami" very well, and Miss Sawyer pleased all with " Good-Bye Sweetheart, GoodBye." Mr. S. E. Orchard performed with great success upon the violin, and deserves nigh commendation. His playing was much admired as it is always, and we award him great praise. Mrs. Cheatham's vocalization was ar tistic and spirited, especially in the Cava tina Semiramide. Her voice is very fine, and beautifully cultivated. The trio3, quartette and the chorus, were decidedly good, and the audience were delighted with them. We make mention of Miss Hawley's voice as remarkably good. It] is a rich contralto, and is well cultivated. Mr. Duvall and Mr. Tappan, bath have fine baritone voices, and sunc: their re spective solos with success. Mr. Duvall has a beautiful voice, and gave great pleasure by the " Marsa?laise. Mr. Tap pan's scope of voice is greater than any we have ever heard before, singing wita perfect ease either a deep baritone or' a high tenor. Mrs. Rowland also sang very well indeed. Professor Koepper de serves commendation for his performance, ^)oth on the violin and piano. The con cert was under his direction, and its suc cess is largely due to his efforts and musi cal ability. Captain Iredell, as the general manager of the concert, performed his part with his usual efficiency.-South Carolinian. MURDER.-A few mornings since we gave an account of the beating and rob bing of Mr. Ham Martin by a nemo high wayman," Henry Johnson alias Ben Mc Intyre alias Ben Bacon. When Mr. Martin was found by the roadside he was insensible. He remained in thia condi ion until a late hour Friday night, when he expired. He was an aged and esteemed citizen, ami will be greatly missed by the community in which he resided. The Coroner held an inquest upon the body yesterday evening, and the jury returned a verdict that he met his death at the hands of the negro above mentioned. Plis head and shoulders were fearfully injured by the wooden standard of toa wagon which was the weapon used by the mur derer. The grand jury yesterday found a true bill for murder against Bacon, and his trial has been set down for Wednesday. The evidence against him seem3 perfectly clear. Before leaving town he went into Mr. McDermott's store and signed a con tract to wurk with Mr. Martin for-a year, and left town with Mr. Marlin. When ar rested he had this contract in his pocket and Mr. Martin's cotton receipts. Besides ail this, he confessed his guilt when ar rested. We understand that the evidence ad dueed at the post riiortem examination showed conclusively that a knife was used as weil as a stick, und that it was the uroonda from tho first named weapon ' ' which caused Mr. Martin's death. Thc verdict was " that the deceased came to his death from injuries received on the head by a knife or other sharp instrument in the hands of Hen? y Johnson." The I ' post mortem examination was made bv 1'r. Joset h Halton.-Chronicle & Sentine! 3d. What the Radicals call " Ku Kluxism seems to be taking a new direction in North Carolina. The Raleigh Sentinel relates several instances of the brutal treatment of colored men who support Greeley, by other colored men, the gradu ates of the Radical League of the State who " 'rah for Grant." in the case of the persecuted negroes, efforts were made by the Grant blacks to take their lives for no reason except that they have pronounced themselves tor Greeley. Outrageous ae this conduct is, the blame should not so much rest upon the negroes, ignorant and unthinking, as upon their white carpet bag leaders, who in the councils of their Loyal League instruct them to commit these excesses, and promise them the countenance ot the administration, and ot its unworthy officials in the State, to stand between them and punishment. A SAD SUICIDE.-We deeply regret to state that Mr. Charles H. Giles comm'' ted suicide in this place, about 1 o'clo on Tuesday last, by shooting himself in the head with a pistol. We know the sad news will be received with feelings ol sincere sorrow, by a large number of friends throughout this and the State of Georgia, where he waa well known and much re spected. Mr. Giles was a young man of generous and manly impulses,, a genial companion, a firm and true friend.-Union Times. The house of Mr. Thos. friar, located in the North-eastern portion of the city, near the Episcopsd Chur h, caught fire, on Tuesday last, and was consumed. [Greenville Enterprise. . The Chattanooga Advertizer says on last Sunday, 27th ult, eleven wagon loads of emigrants from Murray, Whlt %; (field and Monroe connues, passed through Sum morville ff* route for Arkansas. It undera tap da that so many people and oxen h?ve mqved frQtn Murray county to Arkansas that corn has fallan to 2$ cents per bushel, acid no demand for ^shuck's and othor io ??h food. Gen. Grant (says the Columbia Phoenix) has done well to ennoble his Administra tion with a brilliant act of clemency, al beit he ?9 not much given to the melting mood. Two '* noble reds," who have im proved the shining hours of rather long fives in effectively wielding the torch and tomahawk, whose wigwams are graced with the scalps of innumerable women and children, whose corrals are full of mules and horses stolen from settlers, are to be pardoned and restored to the wel coming arms of the horde of thieves who own their chiefs, provided they keep quiet for a time. The mercy exhibited in this case is not all strained, and we only marvel that its force is expended on Indians in tf .id of white men ; that in reaching for tuc prairies of Texas it has entirely over looked the penitentiary at Albany. At the latter place a score of poor farmers are rotting out the miserable remnant of their lives for no offence against society other than interfering with the purposes and as ??rations of the Administration party, t is marvelous that the people of the United States submit so tamely to the in carceration of the first State prisoner ever held in durance by the republic. Notori ously convicted upon false arid insufficient testimony, in accordance with a law ty rannical to the highest degree, and entire lv inconsistent with the Constitution un der which we live, one would naturally expect the-popular fears to be excited, and at least an impartial mqairy forced, as to the condition of these unfortunate victims. On the contrary, they seem to have been forgotten. The Executive hand, in slam ming their dungeon door, seems to have shut them out equally from his own and the public's sympathy. The murderers, Santanta and feig Tree, are to be pardon ed; but the poor North and South Caro lina farmers must still suffer, to point the modern moral of crime against the State. How long ! oh, Lord, how long? OFFICIAL MEANNESS.-This Adminis tration has done many mean things, but the meanest, of all its meannesses, was the dismissal of Cadet Digges from the Annapolis Academy, which we announced yesterday. The simple facts are, that this youth met the colored cadet, Cony era, in the grounds, that they came to blows, and that the white cadet flogged the black fellow, as he probably deserved, for some impertinence. It was nothing else, after all, but a boy's quarrel, such as has occur red a hundred times before, mixed up, perhaps with a little of the " irrepressible conflict." Now, the practice always has been, in 9uch cases, to have an inquiry and to administer the discipline of the in stitution to whoever violates the rules. That would not answer a partisan pur pose, however, on the eve of thc Presiden tial election, so the Navy Department dis graces the service with an order, which, so jar from being a stigma upon the youngster against whom it was malicious ly directed, is a burning stain upon the man who was despicable enough to soil his epaulettes with such filthy flunkeyism. When the negro cadet at West Point was convicted of lying and other offenses which are punished with expulsion, and which made bim an unfit companion for the youth of that academy, be was par doned and forced upon their society, in defiance of honorable principle which is professed and inculcated in that institu tion. This partiality was entirely parti zan, and prompted only by the low mo tive pf gaining negro votes. Under a system wner? the first law of military or ganization : tuas sacrificed, and mendaci ty is officially protected, it is easy to see what the future of Annapolis and West Point must be.-Washington Patriot, Oc tober U. A Contemptible Outrage upon a (Colored Man. The Augusta C hronicle, of Wednesday, furnishes the details of a cowardly, out rage perpetrated upon Stepheu Brown, an industrious and peaceable colored man of | that city, hy a parcel of Radical ruffians of hi3 own color, living acress the river, iu Hamburg, 6, C" on account of his having voted and acted arith the white people of Augusta in the recent election. It appears that on Sunday Brown crossed the river, in company with his wife and Louis Williams, a colored minister, to at tend the services at a colored church at Hamburg. They remained through the service, conductingthemselvesiua respect able and orderly manner ; but, as soon as they left the church, they were confronted by a large mob of armed negroes, who ? had .bern hastily gathered together with the avowed intention of punishing Brown for voting with the Democrats. They seized upon their victim, and beat him unmercifully upon the body, arms and head with their clubs and bludgeons until he was almost insensible ; but he managed to get upon the bridge leading to Augusta, and tbe noise ot' the fray being heard in that <-.ity, the police came to the rescue, and Bwwn was carried to his residence while the cowardly ruffians escaped to the South Carolina .shore. Several of the crew were recognized, however, and three of them, Thomas Carroll, bila? James and Richard Anderson, have been arrested and will be brought before a Georgia jury for J trial und punishment. WM H. BBAWLET.-It is a source of gratification to know that our old friend ft'm. H. Brawler, Esq., of Chester, has been re-elected Solicitor of the ?ixth ?udicial Circuit. Mr. Brawley is one of thc most talented young men in South Jaro??a, and his majority of 7,000 speaks ' trumpet-toRgued" of his fitness for the ligh position he holds and the favor with which his past services ar* regar led by the people.-Abbeville Medium. EXTEBIXa WIDOWS.-It is stated that it Society Hill. South Carolina, after the ivar, three widow ladies, who were in jreat want, sent to some Charleston mer chants an inquiry whether they could ob tain glass jars arid sugar on a credit for ;he purpose of making preserves, to see if 'hey could make any money out of the 3U?int-??. The credit was i?i\-en. the pre serve i made and shipped to New \ ork Mtv and sold. They lound the business profitable. At the present time forty smilies are supported at Society Hill by his industry alone, commenced by three mterprising widows. [From the Raleigh Era.] Won;-in Burned to Death. The Goldsboro Messenger says a most listressing affair occured on Wednesday light last, the evening of the performance >f John Robinson's Circus. There was in old well near the place of the exhibi ;ion, and while the people were leaving he pavilions, a negro woman walked into ;he well. Mr. Clark, of the circus em ployess, jumped in after the woman. A arge crowd collected around the spot, and Socholas Ashe, another of the circus men, was pushed into the well. A large lamp which had been placed near the well, was ipset and knocked into the well. The woman was soon enveloped in a flame -hat destroyed life., The men were badly Dut not seriously burned. A colored man was also slightly burned. The woman was the wife of Silas White, md had no children. Mr. John Robinson, is noon as he heard of the heartrending iffair, called at the Messenger office and left twenty dollars for the purpose of de fraying the burial expenses. QT A State Peace Convention met in Columbia, on the 22d ult., and elected officers, Rev. Sidi H. Brown, of the Chris tian Neighbor, being chosen President.

The Augusta Constitutionalist, of Wed nesday morning, saya: "Our local col umns furnish the result, so far as heard from, in this locality. In the city the election was the most quiet and orderly ever known, and the vote very full. The news by telegraph is unfavorable to Mr. Greeley ; in fact it appears that the Libe ral movement has met with a crushing defeat. But though disaster may have overtaken the cause, the Southern people have no reason to regret their action in sustaining thc canoe of the Liberal can didates. In good faith, with earnest hearts they desired to bury the past and .reunite the sections that were lately at war. The people of the North and West, as it appears, have treated with scorn and contempt thia concession, and now let the future tell whether Justly or un justly. Our New York Correspondence. ' a NEW YORK, Oct. 26th, 1872. Editor of the Advertiser: It is with much pleasure I fulfil my promise of writing a letter to your paper, although I admit experiencing a sensation of shy ness in selecting topics of interest with which to entertain your readers. I am so unacquainted with their fancies-with I what they like to read about I am very desirous of making a good impression, and as I am aware that on first acquaint ance, a little offering of flowers softens the heart of the recipient, and prepares the way for more intimate friendship, I will do the next best thing, and begin my letter by telling you of our City Flowers, which are at present very abun dant. A stroll through Broadway is delight ful to those who love Flowers. It is like a garden of exotics. Between the nu merous floral establishments that display windows full of ohoice plants, are stands along the side walks covered with fra grant bouquets. Every corner bas its booth of odorous flowers, and urchins of all sizes are peddling bunches of tube rosis and geraniums, or large stalks of the 'axen richly perfumed tube rose. Flowers are presented for sale every where. At the Opera, at the Concert, r.$ I all places of amusement, little flower j girls appear with their blooming trays; on the ferries, and in the cars, they have sweet nosegays for "only ten cents." Faces that were sad smile tenderly on fragrant flowers, and the bouquet girl leaves not only lair roses, bat happy faces, as she p- ses in and out the throng. The large demand for exotics has so increased tbp business of Florists, that on Broadway between 14 tb apd 424 streets, there are few blocks but contain one or [ more floral establishments. Since the Introduction of the Opera as an institu tion, and since tne great progress in the cultivation of the taste of our communi ty In music, and the other fine arts, thc I necessity of the peculiarly refining in fluence, of flowers, on all occasions and at all seasons is generally acknowledged. Twenty years ago, a bouquet in mid winter was a rarity that could scarcely be found or purchased. In this age, flowers are so profuse, and so compara tivejy inexpensive io winter, that no balj room or reception saloon is complete without their sweet presence, and they have rosily become such a necessity, that those entertaining, who cannot alford both, will dispenso with Delmonico and decorate their apartments with fragrant exotics. We are likely to have an unusually gay season this winter. Balls, parties, and elaborately gotten up entertainments are promised op every side. Horticul-. turists are making preparations to meet tlie demand for floral favors, and are not sparing money or labor to make their Broadway stores attractive. Windows filled with cool moss and shadowy ferus, charmingly break upon the weary pedes trian, and the aesthetic nature of tho rich, and the longing starved soul of tho poor, is gladdened by beautiful flowers, that bestow their fragrance on both alike. City Florists either own extensive hot houses in neighboring towns, or purchase daily from those who raise flowers in the suburbs Long before da3Tlight winter mornings the florist's messengers are dispatched far the quantities of Roses, Camelias, Carnations, etc., required for the day. When orders are received for weddingsyfunerals, or large entertain ments, or on days before tho balls at the Academy of Music, when every gentle man must have a bouteuniare, and each lady a spray for lier hair and a bouquet fer lier breast, an extra supply is neces sary, and demands aro often mado on Philadelphia and Boston.. Tea Roses are largely imported from the latter place. Exquisite perfection in bise and color ol that flower is a specialty of tho Florists af that city. As in everything else there isa decided fashion in Flowers, and it changes from me season to auother, beth in the diff?r ent varieties of exotics, and their form if arrangement. Tho waxen, odorless 2amolia is no longer worn, being used for crosses, baskets, and standard pieces >nly. Tea roses, carnations and violets, with trailing sprays of smilax, are the lowers most in favor for ornamenting :be person. Lilies of tho Valley aro to je raised in profusion by horticulturists he coming season, and will, no doubt, 3e greatly sought, as for color, grace and )d<*r, and the sweet sentiment attaching, "hey are incomparable. Violets are to oe fatted in our hot-houses this winter br the first time. A beautiful double' .carlet Geranium ls the last sensation in he hot-houses. It blossoms in bunches )f four or five flowers, which are like full carnations. Florists are fearing a 'Run on this flower," to quota the ex pression of one of our leading horticul turists. In that case New York could lot supply the demand as one plant fields but two blossoms weekly. Roman Hyacinthe ?re among the newly import id plants this season. They are natives >? France, are both white and blue, and rery fragrant. The interest of the dramatic and musi al world is cen tered in Madam o Lucca. Our theatres have produced no dramas of standard merit this season, We are all tired and disgusted with " society plays," where the dialogue is twaddlo, and where me must be content with admiring the rich costumes of the actresses, and the swell appearance of the actors. One sees 2U0ugh of bared shoulders and paniers, claw hammer coats and waxod-end mous tachios in real lifo, to be long entertained frith them at tho thoatro; and with the sveeption of the simple high-toned plays given by tho Boncicaults at Booth's, that ls about all the state boards oller. Lucca ls a great dramatic artist. She has en thralled her audiences by her imperso nations of Marguerite in Faust and Zer lina ip Fra pia volo. The class of people who were admirers of Biston and Ra chel, are delighted with Madame Lucca. Every one seems to forget that she came to us a great singer ; no ono is criticizing her voice, but the community and the press aro bewitched with her dramatic power, and only comment on her voice as it gives force or tenderness to ber his tionlc effort. The first appearance of Lucca was a disappointment to the great congregation that thronged the Academy to hear her. None, were willing to admit it, however, aa the very presence of the charming little lady cast a speU upon the audience, and they attributed .the little difference In' what-they had anticipated to the heavy muaie, aid tuiihtensting argument of L'Africaine. Her noxt ap pearance in Faust, as the Marguerite of Goethe, won for her undying laurels. The struggle of innocence against the power of the demon was enacted to per fection, and New York has acknowledged what she has never done before, even on the artistic rendering of this character by Nillson, that our own prima donna, Miss Kellogg, whose name has been HO'long favorably connected with the lyric illus tration of Goethe's heroine, has been eclipsed by the performance of Madame Lucca. Wo are to have Sunday evening con certs at the Grand Opera House, and Thomas's orchestra are to give a series of concerts at Steinway Hall. There has never a season opened that has given prom i we of such rare musical perform ances as this, and those who are interest ed in thia ennobling act will have their fill during the next three months. I do not know as it will be descending from the sublime to the ridiculous to tell you of sick horses in the next breath to the one that has been talking of Music. I believe every one who has any soul loves horses. The poor dumb beasts in our midst are so afflicted that their con dition is the topic of general conversa tion.' Most of our horses are sick in the stables with tile prevailing equine influ enza, and those in use are blanketed and nursed with preventives. The disease is not as fatal here, as it has been at the West. I trust that your district will es cape the epidemic. ALTHEA. Released on Ball? Capt. George Tupper, charged with the felonious killing of Capt. John D. Caldwell, in Columbia, S. C., on the 21st of September last, was released on Mon day, on $10,000 bail, by Judge Graham. His bond was signed the following per sons : Mrs. E. Y. Tupper, S. Y. Tupper, Wm. Laidler and C. W. Montgomery. Mrs. Horace Greeley died in New York on the 80th. Sad News for the Stralght-Out Demo, crats. It is announced that Col. Blanton Dun can, the head and front of the great Lou isville Stralght-Out Democratic party, has determined to leave the United States and locate permanently in Europe. What has caused this determination we are not prepared to say. . Whether it is his mortification at the faflure of his re cent Convention, or the subs?quent fail ure of his True Democrat newspaper, or O'Connor's persistent determination to decline his nomination, it is difficult to guess. Or it may be that political mat ters at home have nothing to do with it, and he goes to Europe thinking the op portune moment has arrived when he will be able to assist in placing his friend and correspondent, Louis Napoleon, on his throne again. At any rate, when Col. Blanton Duncan goes to Europe the Bour bon Democracy ceases lo exist in the Uni ted States. Whrt Makes the Man f What is it that makes a man ? Can you tell ? We can tell you what does not. Good clothes do not ; learning does not. You must have something else to make a man of. Wo have seen a good description of a man, which reads thus: A beautiful soul, a loving mind, Full of affection for its kind : A helper of the human race, A soul of beauty and of grace; That truly speaks of God within, And never makes a league with sin. This is tiie kind of a man worth some thing in the world. >Ve want a great many more such men than we have now. Will you not strive to be such a man? j -?-i i rt? 11 i BY REQUEST.
