Riley had al ways been a faithful und conspicuous Democrat, Howse ?ell oil-owned a livery stable with roveral hacks and drays. Ballinger shot bim five or seven times. Ile wa? unarmed. At first there was an effort m?.de to make it appear that Bellinger rebuked Ri ley on the night before the killing, for cruelly beating his own hack hors es, that ttiieyMnsulted Bellinger, aud that cut of this grew tho difficulty.

Editor of thc Columbia Register. DEAR SIR: 1 notice an article in your issue of Thursday, October 8, headed "The Bellinger and Riley Tragedy," in which it is stated " a member of Dr. Bellinger's family bas since tho occurrence crossed into [ Canuda." I beg leave to correct this statement, as ail the members ol bis family have remained just where they were when it took place His eldest ia in Karissa Il is second sou William r.i**trJ3ellingor, is ">n New York B?TS the Genera I Trutfh^~l i?orni nary. His only daughter is and ha? been in Brooklyn visiting friends since the Gth of June, 1SS5. Since ycur reporter expects startling disclosures at the Court of General Sessions, I deem this plain statement of facjs us to the whereabouts of Dr. Bellinger's family of some ;"portaoco. Trusting you will make in your nextinsuc such corrections a? are in accordance with these facts, I am, very respectfully, yours, MARIA VVHALEY BELLINGER, Now m city of Charleston at 07 Wentworth street. Ou Thursday of next week, the22d instant, takes place the railroad eleu tiou in Aiken. vice-President Collison Replies io "Truth." Fruin the Newberry Obu?? vcr. ? CALLISON. S. C., Oct. 2, JSS5 MR. EDITOR: i have just received a copy of the Observer, with a com munication in it over the signature Truth," chargiug thc originators ol the Narrow Gauge Railroad frorr? Au Elista to Newberry with acting intuid fui'A aboui the construction ol it. The article is too long for me io answer seriatim ; but allow me to say that it is the greatest piece ol Mun chausenism th>;t I have ever seen in print, and ts wholly the work ol a ilitsOrdered brain. Those who never Lave been the in ?ration of an act to benefit the peo [>le l?n't well perceive how one can look from oneself to out wald neigh hors; but such men have lived, arc living now, ami ar* likely lo, live in Hie i ut ure.. [ am th.- sole originator of thc en Ceri ris*?, ami solicited all those now .onnecied with it lo assist, me, which .hny kindly conaented to do. We intended lo build the road by [?t i vate subscription, ns we believe ii will accomplish two Objects: deVelo] i rich and populous part ot our coun try and pay a handsome dividend on he investment. And we yet believe he money eau be raised ; but ii it mould be necessary or desirable for Newberry or any of the Townships ntereeted to raise a jwtian of the ;apital steck otherwise, we have no )bjection. Now, why did we not purvey the .oute? Our plan was ami is to run nidway, as far as practicable, between be two roads that wiil confront us ill the way to Newberry ; so that hose who live five miles on either ide of that line might safely aid the interprise to ike utmost ol their abili y. A survey of the route would cost i good round sum, besidep delay. When we raise the amount ol bontt ide subscriptions the charter requires, vo will otgani/.r? the company, lay out he route, and go at once to grading, 'ut when the Company is organized t will belong to the stockholders,and hey will hardly cheal themselves by cting in "bad faith." "Truth" fer ot that pa?t of the business, that thc tockholders from Augusta to New terry would own and control the road ; nd that among mp.ny others is the eason that I am working and will .'ork for the success of thy enterprise, 'he people can build, own and run it >r their own advantage ; and that is ist what we want. The peoplo built be Georgia Railroad that way, aud it as paid from the start. Mitchell's Narrow Gauge from Au U8ta to Sandersville is being built lat way, and it is now paying 2*'? per gut. on the investment. Wc are in no combination with th? ?-?o'.it.li Carolina Railway Company or uny other person or company whatso ever, to spur np Ciir.rlpflton or any olher placa for the I ?enc fi toi the Cum borland Gap Road ; bat we do hope that il will be built (ar "Truth" lian quite reiwitly become a convert lo il). To that end have J labored anil will yet labor, but that will ir. ;?r. way dampen my ardor for the Angwin* [ridgefield and Newberry Narrow Gauge. Why should it':' Have wc notconnty pride and patriotism enough lo desire tho prosperity of all sections? If we did not, we would nol think iife worth living. What reward can we get from Bel? but thatof the brute? As to "Truth's" fling at Mr. Mitch fill, wo have this to say : that became at. our request to take charge of thin on ter pri?e. We solicited his aid be cause of experience and his adminis trative ability; and if an "Truth" says he can't raise money by talking "glibly," he can show tho people of Georgia how to built! a railroad with out it. I suppose " Truth" will hard ly sneer at his moBt rernnrhable euc ccps on the Augusta and Sander.sville; perhaps he will ; that would bo in keeping with all he has written. Now, Mr. Editor, I do not wish to spin this out much longer; for wc ali know " Truth." As old impractica ble, he is always on hand lo counter act new thought or new work that would improve the condition ol men. He was on hand when Noah entered the ark ; he hung on tba veins of il'irvey like a spavined nightmare; he insisted that Fulton was a mail man an-1 Stephenson a tool : he goea with hi? head in the clouds, and fal In into ovary mud bolo in hie path ; ex p?rim?e doesn't teach him and he never stumblea on ti nth. Ile saya E-lgefield village can't raise more than three thousand dol lars. I have a subscription, all of il uood, for fifteen thousand dollars trom that "poor village." I say to the f.iends of the road : Le of good cheer; let every one along the Hue work to raise the one hundred thousand needed to grade the road and cro68 tie it ; and we will guaran tee the completion of the same iu IS months from (he receipt o? thc money. To conclude-If "Truth" will here after sign himeelf Faku$ in uno, Jul. sus in omnibus, he will cine nearer the truth. Rer"pi.ctfully, JAS CALLISS The l&gefteld Tragedy. Our Edgefu-id correspondent aug go.-ts that the preta ami thy people refrain from commenting further on the Edgefield lynching, for the reason that the accused persons are in the hands ol the law and ready to nu et the charges against them.
