RUTAL MtUDER.-OIe of the nost ter-v lie crimes that shock and appal a whole community, was perpetrated near this town on the night of the 22d inst. The circum, stances are briefly as follows. Mr. Alex. D. Walker, residing within half a mile of the corporate limits, was roused from his sleep about 12 P. M., by a negro man who stated that a Mr. Owens, of Spartanburg, camped near the bridge, was very ill and desired some tea. The tea was prepared and sent to the supposed sufferer. In twenty minutes :after. the same negro returned, with the in formation that Mr. Owens was dying, and requested Mr. Walker to accompany him to the camp. Mr. Walker at once arose andim company with Butler Estes, his cousin, obeyed the summons, After proceeding some distanee, the party was hailed by a man in the woods and informed that the wagon had been moved some distance back. They retraced their steps and were joined by a second negro. While walking in the di. rection of the supposed wagon, the two white men somewhat in advance, Mr. Estes was alarmed by a half,stifled shout, and on look ing back perceived that Mr. Walkr was in the grasp of the negro who first visited the house. At the same instant the negro who had joined them on the road attempted to seize Mr. Estes, who, being unarmed, fled to the house. lie outran his pursuer and before reaching the house, heard the dis charge of a pistol. Fifteen minutes after wards the front door was burst open by the same two negroes, one of whom discharged a pistol, the ball from which narrowly es, caped striking the aged mother of Mr. Walk er, who was lying in bed. They then ransacked the house at their leisure, remaining for an hour or longer, and selecting such articles as suited their inclination. The body of Mr. Walker was found early Monday morning, lying in the centre of the public road. A pistol ball had entered the right temple, traversing the brain and producing instant death. No -other wounds were discovered. Mr Walker was one of our most esteemed citizens and his untimely fate has elicited general sympathy. The two murderers are still at large, and ap pear to have been complete strangers. One is described as a stout, black fellow, twenty one or two years of age and of quick speech . The other is copper-colored , taller and heavier than his companion. Both were armed with pistols. Col. Bliss, the Come mandant of this Post, in conjunction with the citizens has spared no efforts to secure the arrest of the villians. The murder was most boldly planned and deliberately execu, ted and has occasioned an intense degree of excitement. It is sincerely to be hoped that the scoundrels who committed the atrocious crime will speedily be captured and brought to jurtice,.-Chester Standard. A STABTLNG . EnroSE-DRUNKENESs AMONG WOMEN.-The Round Table publishes a startling article upon drunkenness awong women. It says the vice is prevalent among fashionable ladies, and that some of the f most elegant of them will pass this summer, not at Saratoga or Newport, as usual, but at an asylum for inebriates. The writer mnti mates that the vice of fashionable drinking is, now more prevalent among the ladies than among the gentlemen of this country, and -certaim dress makers m. ke it a point to fur nish their customers with drink, while -in some stores bottles of wine are also kept on hand for lady shoppers, and in others the merchants allow their boys to go to the nearest bar-room for liquor when the ladies desire it. Whiskey and brandy are the fa vorite drinks of these ladies, and as some of the saloons they freqnent do not have these liquors on the bill of fare, a neat little sign "If you do Dot see what you want, ask for it," gives the hint to the initiated. In dress makers' bills the significant item "small trimmings" often covers up the ex - - pense of liquors which the lady has ordered through the modiste who panders to her -vitiated taste, while at the watering places a bribe to the waiter procures a secret sup,. ply of liquor, w hich, by the connivance of the landlord,is charged as "extra luncheons " It is asserted that girls of eighteen, daugh% ters of most respectable New York mer chants, have been seen grossly intoxicated inl Broadway stages and upon the public streets, and that no superiority of intellect or social position is sufficient to guard a lady against this vice, WHOSE CHIIJ Is IT.-When Sherman's army stopped at Smithfield, N. C., about fifteen months since, (says the Charleston Courier,) there was found with it a little girl, five or six years of age, of bright counte,. nance and pleasant ways, evidently well bred thus fair, who, the .soldiers said, fol lowed them from South Carolina, Georgia or Tennessee. The corps to which the little girl seemed attached camped near the house of a lady who had a little girl of nearly the same age, and the two little ones became so fondly attached, that the lady induced the soldiers to give the child, to her, and she has been with her ever since. The Child has dark eyes, and is quite pretty. She had been so long with the army that she could give no intellig ble account of her home. The lady who has possession of this little wanderer, is very much attached .to her, and treats her in every way as her own daughter. P'arties interested are referred to the "Baptist Min ister," Smithfield, Johnston county, North Carolina. The papers of South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee are requested to copy * .this information. GEN. II. W. GARY.-From the Richmond Examiner, of the 26th, we copy the follow'. ing notice of Gen. Gary. We were gratified yesterday to receive a -visit from General M. W. Gary, -of South Carolina, a cavalry officer of merit and dis" tinction during the late war. At its out, break he raised a company, which he come manded, and.at the first battle of Manassas his command fought with conspicuous brave ry captu.ring a number of guns from the enemy. From the position of Captain, Ga rey rose through all the intermediate grades, was made Brigadier,General, and placed in command of a brigade of cavalry, which participated in many of the hard'fought battles waged for the possession of Rich mond, and repulsing, single,handed, severali advances upon the city. General Garey, re posing upon his well-earned military laurels, has entered upon the practice of law at Edge field Court House, South Carolina. 4 TERRIBLE TRAGED.-Bud Hammond, a son of M. C. Hammond, of A tlanta, Ga., was brutally murdered by two negroes on Satur, day last. A slight altercation had occurred between young Hammond and a black boy in the employ of his father, but a settlement had been made, and no further difficulty was anticipated. At night, however', as young Hammond was in the rear of his store he was seized by the mother of the boy, a stout woman, and held firmly,until hi3 throat had been cut by her son. Both of the parties have been arrested. The Tnsurance Companies lost by the great a e in Portland $3.u1 non. NEWBERR, S. C. Wednesday Morning, August 1, 1866. Remember our terms for transient adver tising and subscription are cash. Advertisers will please bring in their favors by noon on Tuesdays. TURNIPs.-The farmer is admonished to sow plentifully for turnips. Ruta Baga sown in drills produce well and can be sown to advantage from now to first September. The white varieties are , already well known and their qualities. KILLED.-Amos Wesley, a freedman, was shot and almost instantly killed last Wed nesday night, by some person or persons un' known. THE WEATHER.-The heated term and the drouth are alike broken, and blessed with copious and delightful rainy seasons a gene" ral refreshing is felt. The desponding farmer is hopeful. To a portion of the corn crop the favorable changc comes too late, but to the general crop incalculable good has fallen. Except that the cotton plant is small and not advanced, the crop has experienced no other injury. The rains seem to have been general as beard from various quarters. THE GALAXY.-The August 1st number of this excellent magazine is on hand. Its table of contents is varied and good. It will be remembered, the Galaxy is published fortnightly, at 25 cents a number, or $5 for the year, $3 for the half year. We recommend it to the reading public. Address W. C. & F. P. Church, No. 39 Park Row, New York. The Atlantic Cable Is successfully laid. Art and science are culminating! It would seem that the annihi lation of time and space are typified by steam and electricity. What next? Mes sages are received on this continent in eight minutes after they leave Europe. Think of this! The first regular message from Eu% rope was peace between the beligerant Ger mans. We trust it may be the preeursor in the near future of universal peace-when "holiness shall become triumphant through: out the world." The reader is referred to the card of Messrs. R. S. & J. W. Goodgiori, wool carders, 9 miles west of Laurens C. H. Specimens .of the wool carded at their mill have been left with us and at the store of Carwile & Mc Caughrin. The specimens exhibited are pro nounced very superior, being free from nap and of great length of roll. From what we learn the machinery employed is entirely new and of the latest and most approved patterns; and the superintendent of the work is a man of large experience, having been engaged for thirty years in the business. Wool left at Carwile & McCaughrin will be taken to the mill and returned in ten days. The Barbecue of Messrs, Hunter and Dirge came off on \Wednesday with considerable eclat. Perhaps not -as many were on the ground as were looked for, but enough we hope to keep the energetic gentlemen from loss. It was decidedly the most orderly and best arranged barbecue we have ever attend, ed. The dinner was ample, the meats capi, tally served, and the fixings abundant. One of the Leatures was the number-of ladies who graced it with their presence and who we are satisfied enjoyed the feast. -As a conses. quence of freedom a large number of ladies and gentlemen of color filled up the outside settng, forming an artistic ebony frame work to the picture. FIRE.-An attempt was made last Satur day night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, to fire Capt. W, H. Webb's premises, on Caldwell st., gt owing to the salutary effect of a co pious shower of rain during the early part of the night, and the timely assistance of seves ral neighbors, it was happily frustrated. There seems to be an evident design to de stroy the town, and it behooves the citizens to be on the alert. Would it not be well to establish a permanent and efficient police force, and, in the absence of a fire departs ment, organ ize a hook and ladder company. A real alarm bell, too, one that would arouse the citizens in every section of the town. and suburbs, is needed. THE PROTRACTED MEETING.-The meet ing at the Methodist Church, we are pleased to say, shows no sign of abatement. It is now in its third week, and the interest mania fested in the large nightly .attendance is worthy of a christian community. The number of penitents is large, and gratifying, alike to pastor, and his able helpers ; while several have added themselves to the.chr.rch membership. No more fitting period could have been selected for this protracted meet* ing; while violence, demoralization and sin, of every character, teems through the length and breadth of our land, a counter influence should be brought to bear by the religious and well inclined to arrest if possible this re'ignof sin. The vials of the divine wrath are now poured out upon us, and we are afflicted and humiliated, for an all-wise pur pose, and the good and true of all branches of the christian church should realize this ondition and set an example by precept and practice for good, that we may come through it purified and worthy of the blessings God's mercy has in store for his people.

Mr. Lemnuel Lam, of this district, was.bru tally murdered lait Friday night, by a num ber of freedmenj together with one or two white men,! as we are informed. The instrument used was -'an axe or hatchet. It appeirs that he was asleep un der the shade of t large tree near the door of his dwelling, with a little son by his side. The party stealtbly approached the sleeper, and with one fell blow despatched the un fortunate man, who passed, apparenly,with out a groan or mtrmur,to the eternal world, -for his little son slept calmly on, uncon scious of his fataer's cruel fate. Mr. Lane had in his possession between eight and nine thousand dollars in gold, which was the key to this attrocious design. His daughter, el dest son and Mr. Heller, a guest, escaped. The two latter were carried some distance and tied, but suceeeded in liberating them selves. It is beieved that the party, after getting the gold,iade a general distribution, then stealing a quantity of meat, whiskey and two mules, went in the direction of Co lumbia. Before daylight, Saturday morn ing, as soon as a few men could be got to gether, pursuit was made. But strange are the ways of Providence. It would seem that two of the party, arriving near Columbia, met several little boys at play, and accosting them. asked if there was not a nigh cut across to the Charlotte Railroad, which was answered in the affirmative ; also if 'there was not a spring near by. The boys went with them to point out the spring, when, in stooping to drink, a bag of money fell from one of the party, which excited an exclamation of surprise from the boys. They were hushed up with an oath and a threat. The men then left the spring, and the boys, alarmed, went home and informed. Pursuit was them made by several citizens of Colum bia, whereupon the party discovering their pursuers,instantiy ran in opposite directions. They would not halt. One was shot and the other captured. The man shot was recog nized by a colored boy who formerly lived here, as John Counts, alias John Dawkins, the other was confined in the Columbia jail. John Counts had eighteen hundred dollars in specie abont his person. The other, who gave his name as Cook, had a small amount of money,and a pistol with Mr. Lane's name engraved thereon. We understand that tvelve or thirteen are under arrest here sus pected of complicity in the murder. A NEW ENTERPRISE-ZOOLOGICAL GAR DEN. The burning of the American Museum in July last has afforded Mr. Barnum an oppor tunity to inaugurate a long cherished enter prise, that of arranging a permanent and ins creasing zoological garden in connection with his museum. The public will learn with satisfaction that it is an accomplished fact. Combiniing his museum with Van Amburgh's famous menagerie, and an asso ciation with a capital of two millions of dol lars, the great experience and wealth of its projectors entitle it to rank with the institu tions of Europe. Thirty acres of ground will be taken up with buildings &c., for the breeding and care of rare animals, andbirds, and for training some of them for public performances. It is scarcely possible in a limited space to give a correct idea, or an enumeration of all the curiosities, the won ders collected from all parts of the world, of the rare anim'als, the livirig and the dead which will help to make the great combina ton the wonder of the w~'orld; suffice it earth, air and water will-be laid under contribution. Mr. Barnum sailed for Europe on the 18t.h of July to secure curiosities, and to confer with agents, some of whom have already traversed large portions of Africa and Asia in 'search of rare animals and other novelties. The combination will be known as the "Barnum and Van Amburgh museum and menagerie company,'' and those two .establishments will form the nucleii about which is to be reared the most comprehensive place of amusement and instruction which has ever existed on this continent. THE POPE.-It is announced that for some time past the health of the Pope has ap peared to be failing, and his condifion causes no little anxiety to his Cardinals with whom he speaks frequently of appzoaching death. Pius IX., the present Pope, was born in May, 1792, and is 74 years old. He ascended the. Papal throne in 1846, and has occupied it twenty years. It is stated' that there is a general feeling in Rome that no Pope will hold his- office longer than did St. Peter, who is said to have governed the Church for 25 years. Adrian I. was Pope nearly 24 years; Pius VI., 24 years, 6 months and 14 days; Pius VII., 23 years, 2 months and six days, whilst several other Popes governed the Church for 21 years. It is generally agreed that the whole number of Popes was HEIRS TO Two MILLIONS.-The Atlanta (Ga) New Era contains the subjoined : "Ro bert Bruce Blhckburn, of Blackburnboro, Scotland, one of the wealthiest manufactur erS in Europe, died a few months since, leying an estate estimated at over two mil lions of dollars. The heirs at law, as -we uders tand frota parties conversant with the history of the. family, are the late John Blackbun.1, of South Carolina, and another brother who settled in East Tennessee sev eral years sice John Blackburn's estate is representeo' in part by Dr. J. .C. C. Black, burn, of this city, and perhaps by another brother somewbere in the West, probably in Texas or Arkausas." CIINNATI, ,July 28.-Vallandigham and Judge Gilmnore have been appointed delegates to the Philadelphia Convention from the Third District of this State. It is said that our "Distric~t Courts," as estab lished by the Code of Laws passed by the last Legislature in relation to"Persons of Color," willsoo beput in operatin. The losses by fire throughout the United States for the last six months are set at $45, 000,000. LATEST NEWS. HEARTS C(M.TENT, July - 27.--A telegram says that five days armistice between Austria and Prussia commenced at noon on the 23d, and there was more fighting on the 22d. the Austrians claiming a victory. A severe .engagement on the 20th took place off Island or Lisa, the Austrians claim ed the victory. They sunk the Italian iron clads, running down one and blowing up three. LIVERPOOL, July 21.-The announcement that Austria had accepted the .proposals for a suspension of hostillities has caused great buoyancy in all the markets. The prevailing opinion especially among Germans being that peace is almost certaiu to be concluded, and consequently there will be no resnmp tion of hostilites. The Italian answer had not yet been received. There were no r--ports of further fighting. LIVERPOOL, July 22.-in the great naval fight off Lisa, the'Iralian iron clad Redeitalia was sunk by collision at the commencement of the battle; an iron clad boat blew up with all on board amidst cries of long live the King and Italy from the crew. Italian ac, counts state that the Austrian squadron, re tired after one man,of,war and two steamers had been sunk. A Vienna dispatch says the Italian fleet when driven back was being pursued by the Austrians in the direction of Ocona. It was asserted from Paris that Austria has decided to retire from the German Confederation. The Paris Bourse was excited. Quotations 6,932. The London Observer states that parliament will be required at almost the last moment of the session to give its concurrence tc the Confederation of tne North and all provinces including the plan for the main tenance of the Grand Trunk R. R. WASHINGTON, July 30.-Congratulatory dispatches have passed between the Queen of England and President of the United States on the completion of the Atlantic Cable. NEW YORK, July 30.-Havana dates to the 19th, state the Empress of Mexico arrived there oi the 17th on her way to Europe, and was received with royal honors. Mexican news represent affairs of the em, pire daily growing more critical. The fall of Matamoras caused great dis may. NEw YonK, July 30.-The deaths last week were about 750; a decrease of over six hundred from the previous week. Nineteen cholera deaths occurred on Saturday and Sunday in New York and Brooklyn. NEW YORK, July 30.-The World reports the sailing on Thursday last of a steamer for Matamoras with large quantity of arms and ammunitions,including twelve peices of light artillery for Juarez' army. Maj. Gen. Lew Wallace and Brig. Gen. Stevens recently of the Union army were passengers. The novelty in Paris just now is, "Grass, hopper P'ancake." Here is the recipe: Take insect daintily with the thumb and finger of the left band, (having first caught him of course,) cut him in two with a penknife, and pour into his body six drops of rum, .if he will hold so much. Let the whole number thus prepared soak in this liquor for two days, then make them into a paste and fry them like pancakes. To be eaten with su gar en poudre and a -little Burgundy wine.. Telegrams from Liverpool of the 20th state that the military position is unchanged. Great forces are concentrating on both sides before Vienna. 'Ihe Moniteur says that Prussia has consented,to abstain from hosy tiliies for five days, provided that Austria agrees to do the same1 and give discretion ( ?): on the basis pr7oposed within that, period. The news from the Great Eastern contmne es very satisfactory. About 900 miles of the atlantic cable had been payed out. BURNED TO DEAT H.--Miss -Fanny Forrest, niee ofeGeneral Forrest,was burned to death at the residence'-f Dr. Ayres, near Hannibal, Mo., on Mondsy last, by the explosion of a can, from whieg she was pouring coal oil at the time upon some burning wood, in order to kindle the fire mnore rapidly. She lived only a few hours after the accident. Miss F. was about nineteen years old. IN AtEMOT.-It falls to our unhappy lot to chronicle the death of Cnoss, dog- Cross, the property and friend of C. Chap Richard man, who was assassinated on the 23d -July. Cross was pupped in Mai-ch, 1859, and living from puppyhood, t,hrough the succeeding years to the unfortunate date above,:he' -was 8 years and 4-months old. Passing through the eventful period of secession and conse, quent war, his character, though otherwise exemplary, took awarlike turn, which was shown more particularly to the enemies of his master's household. Corning from good stock ana falling early into good hands, much was expected of igim, which in a large de% gree was realized. His reputation was not confied to the limits of his native town, for he-was made the subject of honorable' notice, in a communication to this paper from the famed city of New Orie'ans, not long since, in which he was compared hfatteringly supe% ror to the dogs of that city. Like other dogs he had four legs, two before and two behind, a tall of fair proportions, the usual copleentof ears, and a mouth full of teeth, long and -sharp, and a body of large size and strength. His love of beef was only exceeded by his aversion to boys and gentles men of African descent. His master's chick, en roosts and premises were never intruded upon, but always held as sacred precincts, while under the watceful guardian,ship of Cross. Little children's mothers and little girls, always crossed the streets when Cross was abont, and with palpitating hearts has tened from the neighborhood. Delighted with these splendid qualities, his master's love kept increasing with his years, while his pockets grew lighter from the amounts spent with the beef mian. To his master "he was ever gentle and kind," and while "his tail stood out behind," it always wagged with affection; but now he is a dead dog, his bark is hushed, the chicken roost has no sentinel, his tail can wag no more, nor can the call of "beef, Cross" arouse him; no terror now at the corner, old wives, maids, young mothers and little children have no more dread; cats, boys and freedmen prowl about with impunity, because the place that knew Cross knows him no more, Alas, alas, great is the grief of his friend and master, and tears are shed over his untimely and cruel murder. It is gratifying to know that he was cared for to the end and buried in a three foot hole, in the family collard bed, wraped in cotton. His memory will be fresh while collards last, and each cabbage 'head taken from that bed will be seasoned with thoughts of Cross, and the tears which fall will freshen the stalk and cause it to byd and grow afresh. Green grow the colIgrds which mark the resting place of Cross. ewherry. July 30 Busines Notisee. Immigration-Final Meeting, Monday, 6th, Geo. Larsen, Silas Johnstone. Public 8ale-J. T.

SIDI H. BROWN, P. E. Aug. 1 2t. An Appeal to my Friends-Wil they aid me? According to the accounts of the office, while I was Postmaster, there was due to the Post-office Department, at Washington city, the sum of one thousand and ninety-four $1094.00 dollars, when mail communication was stopped with the State by the United States Government on the 1st of June, 1861. The Confederate States Gov ernment took possession of the mail arrange ments and post-offices in this State at that time, and ordered 'me to pay over to the Post-office Department of the Confederate States,the money on hand in the Post-office, at Newberry,amount ing to three hundred and flfty-four [354.00] dol lars. And to return the postage stamps and stamped envelopes on hand in this office. amounting to seven hundred and- forty-two 742.00j dollars, to the Post-office Department at Washington City. I can prove by responsible and respectable, persons, that I sent from the post-oflee at this place-and that evidence I sent by affidavi* to Washington this spring-the postage stamps and stamped envelopes, as above stated, to the Post-office Department at Wash ington City, but the Auditor at Washington City, statee,iu his communication to me,f,May 24, 1866,'that the facts stated by me to *hemn, "do not presenft a case in which.,by law a credit can be given" me.. The money in the office at the time, 1861, three hundred and fifty-four --854.C-dollars, I paid over to the P. 0. Dept of the Confederate States, as directed above.' Under' these .circumst?ces I am called upon fortriwith to pay the whole. of the said sum of one thousand and ninety-four-1094--dollars, and amu.nable to do so. It will take all my pro perty to pay-it. and then the demand will not be liquidated. 1 therefore mnake this appeal to my friends, and solicit them-to aid me as far as they may belable andlare willing, 'to settle up the de. mand'of the United States .against me as Post master at this place, as is above set forth. 'I acted in good faith, and obey'ed the instractions I had from the powers in authority over the State. Any assistance rendered me in this matter, will not only-be~ thankfafly'received, but most grate. fully remiembered. .S. P. KINARD. July 3., 1866. ELate P. I., at Newberry.
