Several members of our bar and a number of our citizens have gone to Newberry to attend the Glover trial. This case, it is thought, will bo caded this morning, Wednesday--the 24th. Among the attorneys gone to the Glover trial, is Maj. Wm. T. Gary ; and wc aro exceedingly sorry to announce that this gentleman will not return to live among us. He hrc- decided to remove to Au gusta, where he will continue thc prac tice of his profession. And to the people of Augusta wc very honestly give our congratulations upon the addition to their societ3rof a gentleman of such high culture and eminent professional attain ment. All who know Maj. Gary admire his high character, his varied intellectual ^acqmj^omepts, and tho careful training with which lie has prepared himself for the discharge of thc duties of his pro fes?ion He carries to his new field a reputation, in all respects, seldom en joyed by one of his age, and we venture to predict for him great success in that wide field for professional effort upon which he has entered. He carries with him tho best possible wishes of the peo ple among whom ho hus lived. In the society of Augusta we could not have a better representative. In tho Courts of Augusta our Bar could not have a more courteous or able brother. We wish him the great success he deserves and will achieve. And we hope that thc place which has known and loved him so long, will still know him over and anon.

Tho subjoined letter is a revelation o crime still undetected and unpunished Cunr.YTOX, March 14th, lf-75. Mrssns. EDITORS: On yesterday i was my sad fortune to make a post mor tem exaniiuation of the body of Mrs Eliza Floyd Foster, tho wife of Robt Fosier, one of our neighbors. The circumstances connected with th! sad death, as elieited by a jury of in quest, are as follows: On Friday last, tin 12th inst., Mr. Foster, with his two litth sons, and his wife's father, Mr. Jame: Floyd, left his house as usual, to attenc to-the busiuess of tho farm. Just befor< night, ono of his sons, about eight year! of age, returned to the house arid fount his mother lying on the iloor dead, sh< having been burned almost to a cinder. At first it was thought to be the resul of accident, but after examination, t severe wound was found on tho back o the head which had produced a violen laceration of the soft parts. lu additioi to this, ty was evident, from the positioi of the biily, accumulation of tte a^lie? of the burnt clothing and other chanel material, that tho body must have beer in an insensible couditiou during thc timo it was being consumed. The judgment of thc jury was, thal Mrs. Foster came to her death, directly or indirectly, by this blow on tho head, and that tho lire was thc work of thc assassin, to finish and conceal this fear ful crime. Mrs. Foster was a quiet, good womau ; and after inquiry, ? learn from the fami ly that she had had no difficulty with any one to account for this sad affair, awl that they have not even a vague suspi cion as to who is the guilty one. Our community is much excited about this sad death, and at a meeting of thc citizens on yesterday, it was determined to offer a reward of Ono Hundred Dol lars for the "arrest and conviction of the murderer." I have been instructed to oiler this re ward through tho Advertiser. You will please give it such uotieo as you think best through your columns. Your- Respectfully, ll. A. SHAW.

EDITORS : Sincerely craving yonr patience and forbearance, I again ask a place in the Advertiser for a reply to thelast communication of "A Widow." There is strong internal and somo cir cumstantial evidence that " A Widow," sustains only the relation of sponsor to the two bantlings christened with her name. Through her thin veil, I can, methinks, distinctly discern the mark ed, features of the real author of their being. I therefore, take leave of "A Widow" with my most respectful obe' sance, and pay my regard to Mr. Ether edge iii})ropria persona. In his lirst article, Mr. Etherodge as serted substantially that he had, since the war, loaned tho Grauiteville Compa ny about ten thousand dollars at seven per cent, per annum interest ; and cited thc fact as one of his g^od deeds which had contributed " to tho relief of widows, orphans and other poor laborers" in Grauiteville. To this, at the suggestion and by the authority of ProsidenUHick man, I replied that, " Mr. Etherodge has never loaned thc Granitevillo Company one dollar; nor has the Company ever asked a loan from him." Of course, the denial is limited in all ita terms to the time embraced in tho allegation, and cannot bo forced to include the whole financial history of the Company since its organization. In his reply, Mr. Ethcredgo repeats his allegation ; and, bj- the same authority as before, I now repeat my denial* Mr. Etheredge affects to ridicule the idea that there is any substantial differ ence between a deposit on call and a loan. " Practically" ho says " the differ ence is about that between tweedledum and tweedledee." Is lie so ignorant of " the technicalities of banking phrases" -to uso his own words-as his language imples ? Surely not ; and I do him no wrong and cas,t no imputation upon his good name, when I say that, if one should present himself before him in the character of a borrower, ho would soon teach such an one the wide differ ence between a deposit and a loan. Lend er and borrower arc the correlative terms in thc one case; depositor and receiver, in the other case. The lendor usually dictates tho terms of a loan ; the bor rower is generally forced to accent those terms. Tho depositor, on thc contrary, usually accepts" tho terms dictated by the receiver. Loans are secured in this age by good collaterals; deposits hare for their security only the confidence of depositors in the integrity and solvency of receivers. Moreover, a large part of Mr. Ethcredge's deposit account is the pro ceeds of cotton sold by him to tho Grau iteville Company. Did ho sell his cotton that he might accommodate the Company with " his money at a low rate of inter est, where it could benefit in some de gree tho needy-nothing more?" Credat Judieus Appella, non ego. Now, as to the amount of this alleged loan, Mr. Etheredge has manifestly look ed only at thc credit side of his account, ignoring the debits altogether. It is true that all the deposits, made at various times since thc re-opening ofhis account, with the compounded interest accruing, do in fact aggregate the sum of $11,703.87 Arc we to conclude from this fact that this stun is the true amount of his ac count? If, on the contrary, we look only at tho debit side of his account, and add together th?: several sums of money paid him at different times, it would*ap pear that the Grauiteville Com pan j'has loaned him ?6,723.40. Thc latter conclu sion would be just as true and correct as 'tile former. Neither of the two conclu sions would be correct. The true amount of an account, at any specified time, is the balance at debit or credit at that time; ..ni' I. for the whole period of itt existence, thc.average balance. Taking this as the indy correct view, I fearlessly assert with TTC'Tnni^TTr^^^ Mr. Ejhercdge>J deposit does not mu^k; exceed one third of ten thousand dollars. With regard to thc low rate of interest allowed Mr Etheredge on his deposits, I haye only this much to sa}-, that it is much higher than the interest allowed on snell accounts by any of tho Banks in Augusta save only one, or by any of tho brokers, so far as I am informed. To conclude tho whole matter, Mr. Etheredge is in gross error aa to tho average amount-the only true one-of his deposits. He is in error in calling his call-cleposits a loan, and by necessa ry implication, if not in direct termsi presenting thc Grauiteville Company before the public in the attitude of a bor rower seeking his aid in running the factory "on full time and at full pay." This is tho gravamen of 1113' objections to his two articles. If ho had put the matter in ils true light ; if he had stated that tho Grauiteville Company had re ceived his deposits for his own accom modation and convenienco and at his repeated solicitations, after repeated refusals, and allowed him a liberal in terest therefor, then I would not have penned a word in reply. Ho did the Company great injustice in return for a greet f:>--^?-unhitentionally I doubt not -aAd -? havjffiifiv^attempted to set the trdnsacliou^Hts true lignt-a - - ^ Mr. Etheredge has, without .a. doubt, done many acts of great liberality and kindness, of charity and, benevolence, aad I would not willingly offend him. I have carefully avoided inditing a single word that would give him just cause o? offense. But I must be permitted to say, with all due respect, that his alleged loan is not one of his deeds of charity. JAS. H. GILES, Scc'ry. Gran. Man'fac'g. Co.
