SINGULAR CAsE.-A Vermont paper _*ays: There i& a man in this State who c9nnot speak to his father. Previous to his birth some difficulty arose between his mother and father, and for a consid erable time she refused to speak with 1tim. - The difficulty was subsequently healed, the child was born, and in due time began to talk ; but when sitting with his father, was invariably silent. It eontinued so until the child was five years old, when the father, having ex hausted his powers of persuasion, threat ened it with punishment for its stub bornness. When the punishment was inflicted, it elicited nothing but sighs and groans, which told but too plainly that the little sufferer could not speak, though he vainly endeavored to do so. All who were present united in the opin ion that it was impossible for the child to speak to its father. Time proved this opinion to be correct. At a mature age its efforts to converse with its parent ebold only produce the most bitter sighs and groans. In Albany, two ladies, one married -and the other single, appeared on the streets on Saturday, dressed fashionably in all respects, except their head gear, which consisted of the old style of large bonnets, heavily veiled. They were fol lowed by a crowd from State to Ten Broeck streets, where an officer foolishly arrested them, instead of the gang that followed them. Upon being taken to the police court they were promptly dis charged. A man named James King, having circulated reports calculated to injure the characters of four young ladies in Curri fc'k county recently, they determined t. have revenge, and on a certain night they proceeded to his house, took him out, borrowed a cowhide from a neigh bor, fastened him in the necessary posi tion, and inflicted upon his back upwards - of eighty lashes, well put on. It is said that King has since been a very quiet and inoffensive citizen. The cries of those buried alive by the earthquake in the ruins of Ibarra, smote for five or six days upon the ears of sur vivors too indolent, apathetic and eager for plunder to take the trouble of un - earthing them. Thousands perished by i this horrible death, shrieking for help that would not come. * tunnel to unite Scotland and Ire land has recently been suggested by an English engineer. This under-sea pas age would run from the coast of An triur, Ireland, to Leak's Point, in the - Mall of Cantira, a length of fourteen and a half miles. It is estimated that it would ot $15,750,000. Secret weddings are all the rage in 'Ii'a. They get married on the sly, . -d keep their marriage secret until it tells its own story. As it is now, the young Smen of Pella, are afriad to beau around aQJf othe girls, for fear they are courting :e wsother man's wife. - 'b ladies in London are guilty of queer vagaries, if we may believe a cor respondent who says he saw a lady the iher'day with a mound of hair on her be..d foHl two feet high, and not a hair % it tiatural. He says the ladies are dressing threir heads in that way. -Ajd.ollection lately made at a charit Sablefair a young lady offered the plate t rchman, who was noted for his ati 'esa "I have nothing," was his curl answer, "Then take something, i," she replied ; "you know I am beg *ging for the poor." - Speaking of the failure of the olive ebbr~pin Italy, a Western paper remarks that the news is of little interest on this - side of the Atlantic, as most of the olive oil used in this country comes from Western hogs. An exchange relates having seen an infant of three months loaded with ear rings, bracelets and other jewels. The moth~er had -barbarously pierced her c hild's ears because ear-rings would look 'singt on the baby. There is a'i evident determination to] abolish suttccism in India. For partici pating i-a recent widow-burning case, four-teen have been transported for life, thirty for ten years, and eleven are sen tenced to five years' imprisonment. * ellow in Leip>zig has got three yeais in prison-for encouraging one hun-i dred and forty-one women to think hei intended to marry them.

Burnt District Bandolph Shot. B. F. Ran.dolph, preacher and repre entative of Orangeburg District, while tanding on the platform of the cars at [odge's Depot, near Cokesbury, in A b eville District, was fired upon by three nknown men and instantly killed, on 'riday afternoon last. Randolph was on is way up toward Greenville, on an ectioneering tour, anid had madle him elf particularly offensive both in a speech 1 t Abbeville, and while on the train. eare credibly ir.formed that lie used 2sulting language to a distinguished itizen, on the cars, and shakinghis fist t him said, just such men as jou have rought the country to this condition,t nd until you are disposed of we will ave n,o peace. The body of this persis int advocate of social equality was taken ~ i Columbia, for shipment to Charleston. 1 he same day, or rather the night of theI ime day, we learn, that Boge, Judge, >-called, who was on the same business, aring a like visitation, left the interiorr >me twenty miles from the railroad, and alked the whole distance, .carpet-bag band, to tak.e the train below, and get it of reach of danger. On taking ' ~e cars he secreted himself in the s ail coach, and arrived safe below we ppose, as nothing more has been beard n am him. The Approaching Contest. But a few weeks more and the final cons test between democracy and radicalism between liberty and centralization-will have ensued. Time flies upon slippers of list. Are we alive to the issue, and do we realize the nature of the contest? It is a moral warfare of colossal proportions, in which everything is involved. The success of pure democracy, which is the conservator of a nation's life, should engage the mi .d and heart of the whole country. We strive for a common heritage and a common safety. Let our faith and fortitude not expire, trust ing that under the banner of truth and jus tice we may yet emerge from the Egyptian like darkness surrounding us. Unity of sentiment should give verve and energy to every legitimate effort to stem the flood that threatens to engulph us. Remember 0 ye denizens of the North and the West, ere it be too late, that it is not the South alone that will suffer should the heresies of radicalism prevail. The ploughs share of ruin will also be driven through your fairest fields. Can you destroy the foot and not lessen the pleasures and benefits of the hand? Awake from your lethargic sleep, patriot sons of the sires of '76-from Maine to Tex, as, and "Look up, behold the deep and sullen gloom That lowera o'er your noble land with thunders in its womb." Terrible differences are sprung, from which there is no escape, save in the establishment of a government founded upon just and equitable principles. We cannot now afford to be inanities or moral weaklings. The hour is at band when the government of our fathers must be redeemed, and its heroic vir, tues and comprehensive policy maintained, or we must prepare ourselves to witness its short yet splendid career of martial and civic glories expire amid a carnival of woes that only Hades itself could afford a parallel. Pollard's Biography of Mr. Davis. Mr. Pollard, it is said, will engage in a biographical and historical work that will criticise very deeply the course pur sued by Mr. Davis, during his adminis tration. Great men as well as others, have faults ; and the greater their vir -tues, the 'more apparent their foibles. Mr. Davis is no exception-not being in fallible, yet his errors were of the head and not of the heart. If the batteries of bitterness need be brought against Mr. Davis, defer the work we pray for a sea son : he is not yet free for our sakes. Mr. Davis claims our sympathies. A martyr to the pains of an acute and prostrating disease during the war, he was also hamperel and persecuted in the discharge of his duties, through all which he bore a proud and lofty crest, and pursuer with unquestioned purity of motive the course before him. The silence with which he sealed his lips, and the patience with which lhe bore his impris onment, attest the lofty sentiments of his soul. His state papers were models of classic purity: and breathed forth the Spartan courage, and Christian faith anid fortitude w'hich possessed him. Public men are public property it is true, but it is to posthumous writers that we look for a just and impartial portrayal of historic characters. Con temporary writers either deal in fustian or unwarranted criticism. Criticism. we think, is sometimecs legalized slan der. To expose fhlse docrines and scisms that' individuals may seek to propagote, "to shoot folly as it flies,'' and to attack in general terms, crude in novations and errors as they arise in socie ty, come within the purview of the principle, but to lay bar-e and ex pose the lives and doings of individuals who wer-e governed by purity of motive, is a species of calumny for which there] is no excuse. The book will sell, no doubt. For in these days, alas, it re quires that we probe very deeply and lay bare the inner life, in order to satisfy many.* Democrr.tic Central Club of Newberry. A t a meeting of the Newberry District Central Demiocratic Glub, Col. Moor man, President, in the Chair, Represen tatives appeared fromt nine Clubs. William Y. Fair, delegate to Columbia,I repor-tedl the proceedings of the conven. I tion of delegates. -On mnotionu of Gen.

Below we give the particulars, embra cing all the reliable facts, of an alterca tion, which occurred in this town on Saturday afternoon last, and which from its commencement till Monday morning, our present writing, resulted in the se rious wounding of a peaceable and unof fending citizen, Mr. Daniel Ward, by a party of ambushed leaguers; the after arrest of two of the ambushers, and the subsequent shooting of Lee Nance, col ored, a prominent and violent leader of the league, by two men, non. residents of the town. In common with our citizens, who are law abiding, and strenuously combatting against;the teachings of rad ical leaders, which tend altogether to violence and lawlessness, we deprecate this unfortunate condition of affairs. The following are the particulars as far as have come to our acknowledge: On Saturday last some words took place between a white citizen from the coun try, and Sam Dogan, colored, a promi nent member of the league, in which Do gan drew a pistol and presented it at the head of the other. Although there was some excitement during the remainder of the afternoon, further difficulty was stopped by the interference of our citi zens, and by night all was quiet. At ten o'clock, however, or thereabouts, as the young man above mentioned in com pany with a couple of friends, were re turning to their homes, they were am bushed and fired upon by, it is supposed some twenty or twenty-five persons, and one of them seriously wounded. On Sun day affidavits were made which were conclusive that Dogan was one of the am bushers, and he and another negro were arrested and lodged in jail. Affidavit was further made by a citizen keeping store near by the building occupied by Lee Nance, colored, leader of the League, that the said Nance was seen to leave his house after dark in company with a num ber of negroes, some of whom were armed with muskets, and who went in the direction where the shooting occurred. It was clearly evident that Lee Nance led the party who did the shooting. le was not arrested however. On Monday morning about seven o'clock, two white men rode into town and in front of his house shot Lee Nance, mortally wound ing him, and then rode off. These are the main facts in the case. Efforts were immediately made by the Sheriff to arrest the parties who s'ioc Nance. It may be mentioned that on its being known that Dogan would be arrested, the negroes swarmed the main street in Large numnbers, on Sunday afternoon much excited, and some of them very violent, and that Dogan said he would not be taken, but ,ortunately for them no resistance was made, when the offend er and his accomplice were safely lodged in j til. Since the above was written, the She rirT and a guard of soldiers which accomn panied him, returned after an unsuccess Mill search. Two other citizens were irrested, however, on suspicion, and alaced in custody. What the charges, ae have not ascertained. Lee Nance lied from the effect of the wound on Cuesday morning about 2 o'clock. At a meeting of the State Central Demnocratic Club, of South Carolina. held Lt Columbia, October 15, the follow ing -eolution was presented, by Gen. Wade Iampto)n, and unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the State Central Club if South Carolina cordially endorse the !iews, statements and sentiments ex ressed by Gen. Robert E. Lee, in his etter to Gen. Rosencranz; believing hat the utterances of Gen. Lee reflect aithfully the opinions, wishes and feel ngs of every true man in South Caroli J. G. GIBBES, Sec'y.
