'A youth Carolina Tragedy. RALEIGH, N. C., June 12. On Saturday morning last, in Yadkin County, occurred, one of th- coolest ami moat determined murders and suicides ev er committed in tb is State. John Hol combe and his wife Julia, who had been married about ? year, were the subjects. Julia possessed uncommon beauty, and was susjiected ofinfidelity to her marriage vows. She waa on the eve of leaving home to visit Salisbury and Charlotte. Holcombe having endeavored to dissuade her from leaving, without success, decided to murder her abd commit suicide, ile drew his pistol and fired, ?'ith frightful coolness, koree ahoi? at her, death, <?suing alrapst in?tantly. The.nciglu'ors were at tracted to the house by the reports of the pistol, and found Holcombe reloading hi* wmpon, He told the crowd t? any one approached him- he would shoot OMU. When he had finished loading he walked to the side of his dead wile, placed the muzzle of the pistol to his* left breast and pulled the trigger. His lifeless body lei! across that of his beautiful bot wayward wife. The ball had 'passed- t li rough his haart. Jealousy was the csjue of the wife-murder, and apprehension of disgrace and death by the halter tho cairo of the suieide. They were respectable persons, the owners ot* considerable property, and stood high in the community. General regret i$ expressed that the tragedy should have occurred. Heavy Failures in the West. ST. LOUIS, June 20. Harris & Thomas, Gut*- ie it Co., and Chatham, Draugnan , provision deal ers, have failed. Their stocks and con tracts aggregate six million pounds ol meat, and twelve thousand barrels of pork. Tue amount for which they failed on Wednesday was greatly exaggerated. The acttal losses of the three"* firms are less than one hundred thousand dollars. All the meats bought by the parties involved revert to the~ofigiual owners, aad the rest of the losses arc margins on purchases fbi futures. The failures created no excite ment on 'Change, 'nor produced any influ ence on the market. A Fiendish Aet. The Columbia Union-Herald says: ' Some fiend in kumau shape, on Thurs day, placed a crosstie across the track of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, at a point between Poniaria and Hope Sta tion, w*here the embankment is very high., which was discovered Oythe vigilant en gineer of the down passenger train m time to save the happening of what could not have terminated otherwise than in a ter rible disaster. What the object was that prompted to this diabolical act cannot be imagined. Besides the regular passengers were the Masoni? and some members ol the other committees thai had been in at tendance upon the funeral ofr the late Minister Orr. at Anderson. It is to be hoped that the person who laid the plot may be discovered and properly punished." A Pill 1er the Tax Payers. COLUMBIA, S.

From the Columbia Phoeuix, 22d. THE STATE VS. ARTH ru A, GLOVERS APPLICATION KO* BAIL.-J?igc Cajrpen ter, in chambers, yesterday, heard applica tion for bail of accused on above .charge. The circumstances of this tragedy waving been already narrated tn the public jour nals, renders unnecessary an enumeration of the details. Numerous affidavits were produced by the defence, establishing the facts of threats by the Gonnlious against the life ol Glover-threats of a character whidi, it ia submitted, amply warranted , tho defendant in taking auy and jcv?ry. .measure for his protection. Allidavits, in addition, were shown by the defence, exhibiting a character ot violence mark ing tile GomiHons as assailants whom eve ry precaution should be maintained'against. Ihe case was ably argued by jhe counsel of Mr. Glyvea-Judge Bacon as tvxponent of the law, and Generals Butler and Gary arguing on fact ; the Solicitor, Mr. Rankle, and cofieague, Mr. Danbar, declining ar gument as to the application for bail rn the count rf the killing of V.'illiaTn Go million, ?ave that they urged that the af fidavits were insufficient to reduce the killing below the decree of murder, and render it a bailable offence under the sta tute ; but insisting upon the issue of a bench warrant for the arrest of Glover, to abide the result of tire eMer? Gomilions injuries. His Honor ruled that in the homicide of Wm. Gomilion, the offence I ;yas bailable, and fixed the amount at the sum of $10,000. This question being-set tled, the Solicitor and colleague, Mr. Dun bar, made application for a bench warraut against the prisoner, as "above stated*- the charge being assault and battery, with intent to kill Lovett and Wm. Gomilion ; the grounds taken by the State being, that the circumstances cud not warrant the as sault ; that the threats referred to above were marte only "by the younger Gomilion, and did not emanate from the father, and that the elder Gomilion fell an innocent victim in this feud. Judge Bacon argued that only a court in term time could issue sueh a warrant as marked a citizen with a felou's bad"?, consigning him to a felon's cell. *Gen Butler recited the circumstances s ipported by the affidavits, both as to the tloreats oi the Gornjhons against' Glover, the relative positions of the parties in the tray and tire poputar cfpmion of the tur bulent ckaraetcr of the Gomilions, and drew the deduction that Mr. Glover sim ply acted as a prudent man, who, fearing violence and bodily harm, used such meas ures as discretion wcjuld teach to protect his life. Geri. Gary insisted that the de ceased Gomilion was, to the day of lus death, under indictment for treacherously shooting-Posey in the back ; that his fallier had been, conspicuous on the crimi nal dockets for twenty years; that the son bad been. carefully educated by the $ire, in a oode of blood ; that a corps of native bullies were enlisted in the con templated attack upon Glover, and sub mit ted that the defendant only acted, in view of attendant circumstances, as a dis creet and prudent man would do. His, Honor declined the application for the bench warrant, but ordered the pris oner to bc remanded to the custody* ot the Sheriff of Edgefiekl Coiftity, pending the critical condition of Lovett Gomillion. To grant bail in the major offence and to re mand to custody in the minor was an ob view* incongruity which challenged, criti cL?in. One urinion jimongst the lawyers seemed to prevail relating to this startling phenomenon. In the eloquent language of Gen. Gary, it appeared "to grant s right with one hand and withdraw it with the other," a minority representation which tavors acutely of some pol?tica! motive. - X. From the Columbia UnjoreHerald, 23d, * June. HABEAS COP.PCS.-A. A. Glover, whe I shot and killed William Gomillion ant wounded his father, Lovett Gomillion, lasl week in Edgefield, was brought befon Judge Carpenter ou a writ of habeas cor pus on Saturday last the hearing bein}. Ijearea os eoiins.e/ tor the prisoner and So icitor RunMe and J. A. Dunbar, Esq.. foi the State. The case occupied about ont hour and a half in the hearing. The facti as regards the affray did not materially differ from the account given by thc Uni on Herald Thursday,, except that numer ous affidavits ^'ere submitted showing that Glover's life had been reputedly threat ened by young Gomillion, who had laid several plans to take it, and who boasted, upon his entry into the town, that he had the ero%d to do it ; that either Glover must be killed or ki!) Juin, and that on one occasion Gomillion went to cha kitchen, after making threats, and inquired of a colored man where Glover was, threaten ing violence, it was also shown that many of the citizens had apprised Glover of the threats against his life and advised him to he ou his guard, and Hutt on sale day he had kept off the street for the pur pose of avoiding difficulty. It was held that he had done all in hi? power to avoid a hostile meeting, and that the fatal ren contre was one sought by the Gcunllion?, forcing Glover to act as he did purely in self-defence. It was also affirmed that two large pistols were lound on the person of the deceased, one of which he attempted to draw. After argument oh both ?des, hail WAS fixed in the sum of $10,000 in the case of Killing ot the younger Go rrjHHon^nd Glover was remanded te jail to await tlte Otdar of the court pending the result of the wound* ,'nflicted upon the elder, who, it. is said, has recovered conseioudness. FATAL EXPLOSIOS.-A terrible disaster occurred about two abd'a half miles above Prosperity, on rt? Greenville and Colum bia Railrcuur, on Saturday, the 21st inst.

Baron Holmes lias ? afforded us such a treat as we are pro foundly grateful for. Wisc sud Mosby in Virginia. . The political-canvass in Virginia be gins to attract the attention of the whole country. The failure of the Conserva-, ti ve party to carry the State for Greeley in the late Presidential contest has in spired tho Radical party with new life and vigor. Indeed so arneb are they encouraged that in spit? of the former large Conservative majorities, the Radi cals iuteud to make a vigorous light in the coming contest for State officers. Neither party has as yet made any nomi nation. Thc most prominent candidate for the Radical nomination for Governor is Robert W. Hughes, a prominent editor in that State. Just at the moment, "how ever, when Mr. Hughes' chance for the nomination of hrs party seemed assured, Gen. Henry A. Wise completed one of those remarkable changes of baso that it soriietimes pleases men to startle the world arith. Gen."Wise, unfortunately,' has lived too long, at least for his reputa tion for consistency, though he has by' no means outlived his love for office. He has written a letter in which, while declaring his un willingness' to bo the nominee of either the Democratic Qr RHdical party, ho avows his readiness to run as an independent candidate in case either party should fail to make a nomi nation. . Of course the D?mocratie party has no idea of surrendering its existence to gratify .Gen. Wise or any one else. It follows, therefore, that if he becomes a candidate, it will be at the expenso of Mr. Hughes; and the question, now be ing discussed iu the Virginia Radical camp is whether tho party shall or shall not make a nomination. And upon this question, wc aro glad to say, there is re freshing and hopeful difference of opin ion. On the Democratic side the contest for the nomination for Governor seems to haye narrowed down to Gen. Kemper and Col. Withers, both gentlemen of the most honorable antecedents, and in every way qualified ibr the high position. Col. Mosby, too, the ianious Guerilla 11 chieftain, is playing quite an important part in putting affairs into shape foil the coming contest, and will doubtless prove to bo very useful in furthering the am nuance wfth^T?s?dent Grant ; indeed it is commonly Vep?rted that he controls the patronage of the President in VLrgin Th.is fact; taken in connection with the alliance between Mosby and Wiso, lias created the impression that Wise is President Grant's candidate for Governor of Virginia. This alliance between Grant, Wise and Mosby }s a strange piece of business, and for Wise and Mosby very disreputa ble. We do not believe that the people of Virginia-will help these distinguished renegades to the offices which they seok. Gen. Kershaw'* Tribute to Judge Wardlaw. Gen J. B.

The former leased fifteen acres ol land from the latter On Saturday Elbert Harden gave a cotton hoeing party on his plantation, in Beach Island. At this John Harden was present, and during the day a (lilliculty arose between him self and his cousin Elbert.

A. com Dany has been otganizod.in this city with a* capital of "$500,000 for"the ma'uufaetiTro of butter. It i? claimed J that the. bu ttor is genuine, the means of -producing it being alono artificial; in other words, thediscoverer affirms that the article is hot merely*butyroug, " but in every, respect tho complete aud perfect .thing, as agreeable, nutritious andiisftblc as the best Orange,County butter. A ?'gentlemen of - recognized ability RH a '.chemist is tho fortunate introducer, of thia new wonder: Several persons of wealth have bonghtstock,"&na in a week, |*n- two tho manufacture will be conduct-1 ed on a,very large scale. Tlie offices ol' the Oloo-Margarine Manufacturing Com pany, as tho corporation is catted, aro at 40 Broadway*arid t^eir manufactory in Forty-fifth sU-sct. .?Arrangements have j been made, and very soon thc market will bo fully supplied with the hew pro duct. At present the demand for the artiele is so grea* that it is -.beyond the capacity of tho company lo supply it. J-Theprofits aro expected tobe over 100 percent. ' -?' . now Tin: HUTTEK IS MAHK. . * In thc first place, agents aro employed to viRit the slaughter-housus, and to.Jjuy .np all live bool'fat usually called sue.lv Tins suet is ?rftrtcd tb the butter ' factory? and cleansed Then*4t is pirt intra ordina ry moat ch? pets and minced fine. Jtr is afterwards placedL in a boiler with as much wafer in built as itself. A. steam pipo'is introduced among the partidles ot-thc suet, and they are molted. 'Tho 'rffuse, or membrane gdes to tlie bottom of tho wate/; the oily substance floats and is removed. Tifs latter consists of butter matter and a'nrine. A toinpcca ture of SO degroes iwRs the former, and leaves tho steanneTB. tho bottom. Thc butter made, or crearoi is drawn off; then aboutiS per cent; ?K?resh milk is added aud thc Hecessaryis?lt, and the whole is churned for teri oKftfteen minutes. The result is butter aF*5bout one-half the1 usual cost. The stearne is sold at twelve cents n pouud to Uie-^andle-maker, and the refuse at seven cerita a..pound to the ' manufacturer of food, for cattle. BUTTER' FOR SUM MER. TOURISTS. ' All the lftading steamship lines between here and Europe are to be supplied thin summer with the newly invented butter. In tasto and appearanco it is precisely similar to thc finest country butter, made from the milk of live cows. Several nf the leading mon in tho butter trade luive purchased stock, as .have also many of the presidents of the steamship lines' and the proprietors of1 thc loading city hotels ; Prof R. Ogden Doremus has tes? tified to the success , of tho now method of butter m ann facture, and prophesies crrcat prosperity for the new corporation-. .Prof. Paraf, tho discoverer, expects that the new product will .drive live cow but ter out of tho market altogether. The few unscientific outsiders who are ac quainted with the facts now first made public, regard the whole thing with amazement. It seems extremely odd to them thai the same carcass which fur nishes^ fresh steak for breakfast should also should also supply tho butter which they spread upon their accompanying hot rol?R.
