Assure your officers and men of my highest appreciation of their brilliant conduct in behalf of the State. I congratulate you on your success-. " L. P. GROVER, Orovernorol Oregon. BOYLE'S CAMP. June 4.-I had an in ?ferviow with Captain Jackj. through the" aaedium of an iuterprefi?. At first he was reticent-in fact, ne ow not even no tice me. Finally his sister Mary prevad ed on him to talk. His firs^remark was. ^in relatio? to his shackles. He said iti| made him feel mean to be hobbled like horse. He was not afraid to die, and had ':. ho. idea of running away. As he spoke ??L&*eyes snapped- and he looked a very lion in "rage. ^'AJt? questions pertaining to Bis fighting he declined to answer. When I asked bini his age*he gave me to dnder siqjnd tha? .h? .was thirty-six'; and lie then violently started upon ?, statement of his > '.*grievraces and those of-hv people. With reference to the^Ben Wright af-, fray, be, said that white men mm-dere?H his people years ajjo, and that what ne had done was only in payment of old debts. He didmot enter into details, but left the interpreter, " Scar-Faced Charley,'* J to patch up his story. A critical study of Jack> face?orrobor a ted "the impression derived at fii?t sight he is a thorough fhdian ; his head is large, 3trite square and set fi rm ry on his shout ers ? his eyes are black and boght; and * his Ace broad, with prominent che*k bones: his nose is symmetrical and slightly aquil ine ; his lips are thin and clean cut, and, combined with bia chin, indicate that res oluteness of purpose that has won him such notoriety. His complexion is dark and his face has a pleasant look. Take him all in-all, he is a striking man. Place h'm among thousands and he would be taken for a ;hief by any observing stran ger. Those who have seen him do not won der that he is the leader of the Modocs. Though in chains, and on th? brink of eternitv, he is yet feared and respected by th? Indians about hun. Hie nearest com panion in chains, Scnonchin, is about fifty years of age. He is wrinkled, and ha's villian depicted on every. line of his face. He wears his hair shorthand stands about five feet in his moccasins. Boston Char ley is about twenty-five years old. His face is expressionless. Jack would attempt to escape if he had a chance, even at the riak of being^shot down. Probably he never realized"that his death wa3 inevita ble until irons were placed on his feet. Scar-Faced Charley says Jack told him ho could get clear when the white men were asleep. This was before the irons were brought into use. Gen. Davis is satisfied that Jack did try to escape lust night, and through tho aid of confederates on the outside, for upo~i the examination of his shackles this morn ing it was found that one of the rivets had been filed nearly in two. His legs are on ly confined. At 4 o'clock this afternoon Col. Mason arrived here hom Fairchild's Ranche, win the infantry force of the expedition, and the seventy Modocs who came in then-thus we. have here 12S captives. BOYLE'S CAMP, June 4, midnight. ' News has reached here that Hooker Jin and Steamboat Frank mr.de a successful scout yesterday by co-operating with tho Oregon volunteer:. They trailed three warriors und five squaws to a timber mountain northeast ol' here, and assisted in making a capturo. Orte of the cap lives is Black Jim. He is the Modoc wno bullied thc settlers in this region for two or three years and committed cruel mur ders. The Oregonian.-; regard him with special hatred. Only fivs or six of the Modoc warriors are now missing. Thc Warm Spring Indians held a war dance this evening, which was witnessed by a large audience of officers and men. LARGE FIRE-THE COUNTY JAIL DE STROYED.-About fifteen or twenty min utes past 12 o'clock; Tuesday night, the lire bell started our silkens from thc:r slumbers, and it was soon ascertained that the Hames proceeded from the jail, located' in the very heart of the town. The whole upper story of the building was destroyed before the engines reached the spot. The lire had made SIK.1I headway o^iore it was discovered, that it w.:s ntterh; impossible to save the building. The jailor barely had time, it is said, to turn thc prisoners 4 out, before the upper roof fell m. Wc learn that there was an insurance of CK)0 upon the concern. The tass is a heavy one to the County, the" building having been- erected at a cost of $6,000. The jailor says' there is but little doubt that tho fire*was aa incendiary one.-Sumter News. -. _ -q???- . MRS. MAP.Y CCSTIS LEE REVISITS HU: OLD HOME.-The widow of General Rob ert F..

Wardlaw, not only one Qf the most learned and distinguished men who have ever graced the history of South Carolina-but also one of the purest men who ever lived in any ag?'ur country died at his home in Abbeville, on Sun day morning last. Judge Wardjhw was aft elder brother of our own distinguish ed and beloved fellow-citizon, the late Chancellor Wardlaw, and,-through him, much identified with Edgefield. Judge D. L. "Wardlaw-, as Circuit Judge and Justice of the Supreme Court, sat upon the Bench of Soath Carolina for twenty seven or twenty-eight years-a profouhd ly able, brilliant and irreproachable ca reer ! The telegram from "Abbeville which announces to the world the death of this great and good mau, concludes with the truthful words :" " He was, in all the relations of life, a man of unswerving integrity and eleva ted sentiment, and DVhis death has beon removed another oneof those landmarks whieh bind us to aU?tha?s good and glo rious in the past history of our State."

Capt. Jack having been captured, with the last of his braves, the question now with the government, is what shall be done with them.. And the conclusion is that they shall be tried' by military com mission. Of course they will be shot,, In the mfjimtime Capt. Jack is silent and] melancholj', rofusing tb converse with 'any one save hnf'aister Mary. He feels . that he is to die, and seems rather to*[ welcome the ij^ft.of. going to the happy hunting grounds. * . ' The ? Rebel*' Dead.

A writer from Prosperity, New berry County, S. C., to the Progressive Age, in thacourseof his letter, says: " We cannot boast of any fast games or gladiator exhibitions like the renowned Greek of old, but can boast of some as good marble players as ever abet from .wy.'-" A Pshaw ! The idea of them Prog Level I (we mean Prosperity) fellows bragging I on their marble playing I Why our 1 poorest marble player hT.town (Dr. J.) ia now in the habit of " plumping out the nriddTe mah," from five to ten tunes iugguceession ; whilst some of our best pla3*ers frequently spend an hour or so in deciding who shall have the "first ge," -each party "plumping out the middle man" some thirty or forty times "hand gwine," until finally one misses the " middle'man," and t he other gets it, and the game commences.

Thc Appalling Walworth Murder? On Tuesday, the ard inst., there oo currjd a murder in New York City, com. pared to which, in horror and excite ment, the killing of Fisk was but a bub ble 'xhis time a son kills'bis father the one a boy of eighteen or nineteen, the other a man .of only forty-throe. And this time the actors aro not vulgar and flashy upstarts, like Fisk and Smokes, bat gentlemen of .the highest lineage and most distinguished social position the son an darran dson of the honored and celebrated Chancelier Walworth The mle, briefly, is this. Chancellor Wal-" worth, a resident of Saratoga, when old and a widower, married Mrs Hardin, o! Kentucky, widow of $ -distinguished officer of the Mexican war who was kiiled at Buena Vista. The marriage bronght together the son ot Walworth and the daughter of Hardin, Mansfield Tracy Walworth and Nellie Hardin, l?otb yotfng and extraordinarily g grfted and accomplished. *fhcy are married. Foi tw??f>r three years they live together happily; two or three children blessing their union. But at the end of this time thc?hunband rapidly developes into mi intemperate, licentious, unscrupulous villain. Their means are ample. Through years and years tho miserable wife clings tn him with brave hope and womanly devotion. But finally, wearied ont wit! hlsi'lt, ill treatment and poverty-fo they liave become ?poor-she is divorced from him, aud, hiking her four children established a Female Seminary in Sara -og?. J^his sominary proves a brilliant success, and thc unhappy woman at least lives in material comfort. Meanwhile the hopelessly reprobate husoand sets up in New York City, where he leads a fast life and becomes an author of note But ever and anon he writes his wronged and wretched wife abusive and threaten ing letters-assuring her that he is de termined br take the lives cf herself and her children. From this he proceeds to insult, and accuses her of being a wan ton And finally the oldest son,- said to b'i a worthy, handsome and spirited fel low, goes down from Saratoga to New York, invites his father to visit him in his room at the Sturtevant Honse, and there deliberately, and, with^horrible calmness and d?termination, shoots lum through the head. New Yofk is convulsed with excite ment; and young Walworth is in toe Tombs, deporting himself with extraor dinary dignity aud quietude. Hard Tines.

" How sad noW is the reversed picture? The temple of Justice is befouled by thieves, renegades, and Apostates-its altars profaned by lawless and sacrilegi ous hands-the administration of justice in some of its inferior departments en trusted to ignorant; renal; and vagabond negroes; and tho machinery -of Justice controled, manipulated and audaciously .tamperd with hy the basest set of viHains that ever contaminated and polluted a civilized country. The Jury Box, on which the State shoukUinseribe the mem orable words of 'iMagnaCharta,"*-uN<il h' vendemus, Nulli negabimus, aut dif feremus rectum ant justiciara,"-is de livered by an ignorant, corrupt, and mon grel legislature, to the custody of faith dess officials, who discharge the respon sible duties of their office, as they sup port their existence, solely by crime, fraud, corruption, and the total disregard of every low, human and divino. Some of our people,, we aro sorry to say, associate with these culprits,-call them John, Bill, Dick, according to their respective names,-go on their bonds as sureties, whenever they are arrested for high crimes and misdemeanors, and seek their favor and good will, from the fear that their hbuses may be burnt, or their property otherwise injured by their dia bolical machinations. Others, from love of money, seek the patronage of this rabble crew; and both sides deem ita fine stroke of policy when-"they bend the supple hinge of the knee, that thrift may follow fawning." " It is a fatal mistake to suppose that any good can arise to our country, or indi viduals, . from a compromiso with men' who. are destitute of moral character. They accept your advances, delude you with their promises, amtlaugh at your puerile credulity. Our people should leave them to their own coin pair iots>when they are arrested, and not afford them facilities, by incoming their sureties, for the continued commission of criminal offences. "Let the dead bury their dead," is a ride of action worthy of being re commended and adopted in our inter course with these political heathens, and which, if it had been hitherto regarded, would have thrown some of these crimi nal offenders in Jail, abd obtained for us, on their account if no other, a speedy and legal listing and drawing of Juries for the present year. Wo put it in the pow er of the men against whom, every hon est man's tongue at least rs turn' J, to exe* cute their plundering schemes with im punity, because we come to their aid when the law seeks to avenge its insulted majesty, by placing them beyond the reach of doing farther harm. We could not do more for our beat citizen?, if un justly acouscd. Does any one Bappose for a moment, that parties charged with criminal offences, if put in Jail will not gladly seek for a speedy trial anil deliv erance if they are really innocent? Does any one suppose that such parties desire a trial at arl, when at largo on bail, if. they aro guilty of the crimes charged against them? What good do we gain by extending favors to criminals when they return our kindness by endeavoring to sow the seeds of discord between the white and colored people, for their own vile purposes? Why aid them, who, in thei* intercourse with the colored people, denounce us as unprincipled Democrats and Ku Kluses? Do you^not recollect the fable of the husbandman and the fro zen snake. Beware then, and bc warned of these human sn alt es, before it is too lau. AH of our trouble and annoyance pro ceeds Crom the low and eorrupt white men wHoin the Governor appoints to county offices.

JUSTICE. * " We will sell to ho man, we will de ny no man, or defer right, or justice." For the Advertiser. MR. Eoifou,-You wdl oblige me very, much if you will give me spaco in your paper to place myself right before the good citizens of the County as regards the uart J acted in the Jury- question of 1873. Ii is well.known to every one whb has fead the last Jury Act, that thc Clerk of the County has nothing* to do with listing tho Jury. But I was so very anxious to have the Jnry listed qn last January p^st, that I frequently called the attention of tho Jury Commissioners to the fact thr?t the mouth ol'January was the'thooto; list the Jury for 1873; and if notdoi.e then we could have" no Grand nor Petit Jury for this year. On the 28th January, I, (iltho?gh thc Jury law dont require mc to do .to, sent a notice to the H Advert? ser,11 calling the attention of tho Jury Commissioners to the listing of the Jury. . One ol the Jury Commissioners saw the* ndftiee on the afternoon of the 20th, trot hs had u An Axe to Grind in Columbia," and regardless of the interests of tits ' County, to Columbia he went. Moat of your readers have read the correspondence between Jury Commis sioner John A. Barker and the County Auditor. You' are the Judges as to who came oft victorious. ? r Near the close of the General Assembly of 1873, an Act was p wsed-gi v in g terEdge field, .Spartanburg, and Lexington the right to list a Jury for 1373. The Jury Dom missioners of Edgefield listed the Jury at tbaproper time required by said , Act. And believing it was my duty as Dlerlt of Cou rt, I issued my veniro to the - three County Commissioners io be and appear at the Office of thc Clerk of .the Court on Tuesday, the 20th dag of May, 1873, to draw a Grand and Petit ./agrior thp June Term of the* Court of Common, Pleas and dnwiKSesdbn^n Edg)$eldV '*{ CouWty.

I think, some time be tween ll and 12 o'clock? A. M., Mr. David Harris, Jr!, came to ni3' office and in formed me that the Jury Commissioners were drawing the Jury at Cap*t^Bolh4i ger's Office. Sheriff'Wall and myself ? immediately; went to the (?fpunfiv.Audi tor's Office, and to our surpuise we found (fiat the Grand Jury had been cerrar?. The Jury Commissioners "then proceded to draw tho Petit Jury. Being very un well, as soon as the drawing was over, I. left the Auditor's Office, and returned to my* owng lea\-lng Sheriff Wall'in the Auditor's Office. When .he came to the* Sheriff's Office he brought .with him j lists of the Grand and Petit Jurgj 1 and from t/tat list his Clerk coih- I menead to fill out the Summons, not 8 knowing bub what the Juries were prop- - erly drawn. I had not been in my .office ' bul a very short time after thc drawing ' of the Jury, when my attention was "* called to the fact that the Jury were Im properly drawn, *AS the act requires tiie Juries to be*drawn in the Office ol' the js Clerk of the Court. ? then asked Dr. I ' Barker to dra\v again, but he refused to doit. I then relused to sign the veiilre to the Sheriff to summons the Jury drawn till I could hear from Judge Car-. penter. And on Sunday morning, the 25th day of Maj', I received an order from His Excellency Gov. Moses, order inp? the Clerk. of the Cou?fty to assist in f drawung the Jury again, an the Jury 1 drawn on tho 20th May was irregular. ' The three Jury Commissioners seeeived orders of the samo nature? As Monday thc 207A was the last da}/' in whicliitho Jnries could bc drawn, as the Act pays 1 the Juries shall not l>e drawn more than ? 15 days nor less than 7 "days before pit. sitting of. thc Court, tho Jr.-v Commis sioner's Were notified to bu at thc Office I 1 of the Clerk of the Conrt on Monday, | ' tho 2<ifch of Mm', 1878. Dr. John A. Bar ker' failed to attend ; his reason for so doing ls bat known to htymclf. .Com missioner Strom, Auditor Bellinger. Sheriff Wall and myself were present, to assist the Jury Commissioner to draw tho Jury according to^the Order of His Excellency Gov. Moses. This much I -think I ought to say in justice to 1113'self, as there was a large 1 number of persons present in the Court 1 House on Monday, tho.2d inst., when a certain Attorney, taking advantage of bis position, belched forth his low and dirty billingsgate against Sheriff Wall and myself. Such stuff is seldom in dulged in by any of the members of the Edgefield JBar, except the Attorney in question- That certainly te Ai? forte And His Honor, the Judge, for reasons best known to himself, closed the case j without giving Messrs. Youmans and Sheppard an opportunity of saying one word in my defence, which I know they were prepared to do, and would have given the vaunting Attorney a " Roland for aft Oliver*." * What I have written you are facts and " Facts arc stubborn clieels and darre bc disputed." A. RAMSAY, C. C C. P. ,*?r*Kfrk, Rollins H,,thp authentic and reliable (?) correspondent of the Uni on-Herald', over tho signaturo of "Via tor," saj-s there is to be a first-class Re publican paper started in Edgefield. Well, as we are always m for any and every new improvement, and as the Radical papers yet r ablished in this State, with perhaps one exception, are far from being " first-?lass" and decent Republican journals, we rather like the idea of thc running of a " first-class Re publican" sheet in Edgefield. But what possible interest can Rollins II. have in the publication of a paper of the stand ard and character proposed? The tiling being " first class" and consequently de cent, of course it will bc compelled to ignore him, ?yid fellows of his ilk, from thc ontoet ; otherwise it would be sailing j under false colors. Let tho " first-class" bo established-and wc will give it a cor dial welcome. Church Anniversaries and Semi-Ccu t cu niais. The late Semi-Centemiial of. the Bap tists ol Virginia, at Richmond, was a very remarkable and interesting meet ing-attended by six thousand delegates and visitors*-and preached to by many eminent divines whose fame is almost world wide Among the worthy deeds of this great convention was the consum mation of thc three-hundred-thousand dollar andowm eut of the Rich mond ( Bap list) College.. And this ?300,000, itseems has been raised in Virginia in a single year. A correspondent speaks of the matter thus : "lt is truly wonderful that a single de Domination in a single State should raise nearly tli roo -hundred thousand dollar for one object in a year ; and more won dori'ul still when we reflect'that this is done in Virginia in these days. But there were high resolves andan unflinch ing spirit of sclf-smerifice. The result is so grand and no-hie that from all the Stairs ttieery is heard, "All hail Vir' gi nia ; well done, thou cherishing-mothcr of all greatness !" In Savannah lately the Episcopalians of Georgia have celebrated, with great solemnity, tho semi-centennial anniver sary nf their Diocesan existence; while in North Carolina tho Forty-seventh Ali nu?!

TIMMEKMAN, lifter about a monta of suffering. She died in the 38th year of her age. Having been for several ye?irs past in feeble health, she caught measles, and Lifter all, tho effects of them took' her away to her long home. Though her sufferings were verv great, even unto death, yet it was with a marked degree of fortitude that she bore tl:em Un be ing asked why she exhibited so much patience, she remarked that, if it was tho will of her Savior to afflict her, she would try and bear up under, his dispensations with submissive meekness,- u virtue which so beautifully adorns the Chris tian character.

She had, too, the happy faculty of making ail about her partake oi the same happy temp?rament Her piety was shown forth prominent ly in her every day "walk. And "nono lcifcw her bri' to love her" Seldom in deed wax her seat vacant at thu house of prayer and praise; and when it was the ease, ail well know it was tho interven tion of Providence. Possessing the buril?: ing zeal she did for the cause of Christ." she was found constantly at work in tho vineyard pf her Master.* When first taken sick, she repeatedly told those who kept tireless vigils around j lier bedside, that she would not recover ; i that her ties wore strong on earth, hilt they were stronger in Heaven ; and that Whenever the Saviour called her she would rejoico to gound bo with -him . She prayed to be spared long enough to seo a lovely daughter's faeoonee more, who was absent at College. J lui- peii- | lions were answered, and truly the meet ing was an aifecting one,-tho daughter arriving just in time to bid that Fowl mother a long"affeetionatc adieu She has left an aged mother, who made an idol of her-an ?uly child-never to meet again in lifev A devoted, loving husband has beau left in sorrow, to grieve tilter H Void this world can never lill.

Sad I Oh. how sad ! Mrs. TIM MERMAN gave brigid cvidoiu c of her acceptance' at tho gate of Heaven, and desired lo go and be free from thu pains of life. Sho called some of her most intimate friends' to ber bed "side, and told them what she desired to b dune, and how *.he wanted preparations made for her interment, beintt conscious to tho lust, ?she bas gone where " Congregations na'cr break up And.subbaths uover end."
