[ From tho Cincinnati Commercial. J Thc Beauchamp Tragedy. Of tho many casca of crimes committed on tho saorcd soil of Kontuoky thero never has boon ono for romaneo of inoidont, chiv alry of motivo, tragedy of ending equal to that of the Bcauohamp affair. Though transpiring many years ago, its details have lost none of their freshness, and tho high standing of tho families aud their persistent efforts to suppress everything rotating to it, havo tended to perpetuate its romombranoo, and render it a romance that oven at this lato day all Kentuckians lovo to talk of and wonder over. Tho murderer, or infatuated avenger of another's wrongs, was J. O. Beauchamp, tho son of a respectable farmor noar Bowling Green. Ho was a young law student of unusual premiso, whoso talents and addrcs3 had attracted tho favora ble notioo of tho aftorward murdered Solo mon P. Sharpo, at that timo Attornoy Gonoral of tho Stato. Young Bcauohamp Was of ardent temperament, entertained exalted ideas of woman's purity, and ouoo . upon his vacations chanced to meet Miss Ann Oook?, a boautiful young lady, who, during his absence in tho pursuit of his studies, had, with a widowod mother, taken up hor rcsidonoo near his father's farm. It was a caso of lovo at first sight. . Miss Cooko was molanoholy ns a lovor's luto, lived io great privacy, and her mysterious move ments and intentional withdrawal from society, throw around her a halo of mystifi cation that fired tho ardor of the law student, and mudo him a willing slave at hor feet. Ho called upon her, actually forced himself into her prcsonco, and borrowed books ofttfior simply to afford him an excusa to aili again. Sho repelled his advances in a manner that only lured him on. 116 persecuted her with kindness, and haunted her with attentions. Tlc proposed and was rejected, sho would novor marry. Ho porsistcd with an excess of passion and ardor that induced her to tell him hor story and wrung from him a promise of rec vougo. Sho had been betrayed, she suid, by Col. -Sharpo. Her coso was a peculiarly sad .ono. Col. Sharpo had boon raised in hor father's family. Tho Baorcd rites of hospi tality ho had repaid by filching tho dough tor's virtuo. And sho, Uko many another, bc ea mo n mother ero sho was a wife. Sho had been famed for her beauty, yot her disgraco had withered its charms aud crip pled its powers. Her family had been wealthy, but adversity had overtaken thom. Her father and malo rotativos were nil dead. Thero was no ono to avengo her wrongs. Bcauohamp, tiod to her fato by the silken oords of a desporato lovo, us woll os by the romantic notion of a chivalric tempera mont that urged him to wash out by assas sination or ohallongo tho wrong done, readily took an oath to hurl Sharpo to tho doom ho deserved. "Sharpe will not fight," said Miss Cooko, when Beauchamp anuounoed his intention of calling him out; "ho la too groot a cow ard." That was in 1821. Tho Legislature was in session at Frank fort. Beauchamp readily found Col. Sharpo at tho Mansion House. Tho Colo nel rooognized him oordially. "Fvo como to Frankfort tosco you on important busi ness," and Beauchamp took him by tho arm saying, "Let's tako a walk." They went to a rotirod spot by tho rivor sido. Tho boll at tho Mansion llouso rang for supper. Beauchamp turned upon Sharpo with o nervous manner and oyo sparkling with auger. "Do you remember tho last words Miss Cooko, whom you ruined, spoko to you?" Sharpo stood as if transfixed. "I am tho avonger whom, in tho spirit of prophooy, BIIO, tho last limo you over saw hor, warned you would right hor wrongs." Sharpo stood still, deigning no reply. "Will you fight a duol with mo?" "My dear friend," oringingly spoko tho Attorney Gonoral, "I oannot fight you on Miss Cook's aocount." "Dofond yourself, thoa, coward and villain that you aro," shriokod Boauohamp drawing an enormous dirk. "I have no woapon but a ponknifo." Bcauohamp throw him a Spanish knife. "My door friend, I cannot fight you," still urgod Sharpo, "You d-d villain, what do you moan by that? That sho is not worthy you should fight hor friond avongor?" "My friond, I meant that I can novor fight tho friond of that worthy, injured lady. Had hor brothors raurdorod mo, I would not havo raised my hund to dofond raysolf. And if you aro her husband, I oan novor fight you." , "I am not hor husband, but hor friond and avongor. Sho sont mo to take your life. Now, d-d villain, you sholl die." Ho raised his dagger. Sharpo van. Boauohamp seized him by tho oollar. Shnrpo foll upon his knees and beggod for his life. "Tako my proporty; my wholo ostato is at your oommand} but obi lot mo livo," ho dried. Beauchamp released his hold, alnppod Hbnvpo'? faoo, and kioked him A* ho arose. ;W?ot up; you coward, I'll pnblioly hoii'so 'whip.; you -.to-morrow in tho atroct, you ?^foftiM' cowiivdhe stud, . , , ? - I Beauchamp meant to bo as good as bis word. Ho procured a horsewhip, and pre suming tbat Sharpe, surrounded by his friends, would mako a show of resistance providod himself with pistols, with willoh to finish him. Sharpe felt that: He who lights and runs away, May live to fight another day. So boforo break of day he was OD his horso eu routo for Bowling Qroon. Beauchamp roturnod to his home. Miss Cooke now resolved to take vongeanoo io hor own hands. Daily sho'. praotiood with pistols, till hor aim booatno deadly. Sim tried to lure Shorpo to hor houso. Ho avoided hor. Beauchamp refrained from any fur thor attempt on Sharpo's lifo to glvo Miss Cooko tho opportunity sho wished for. It novor caine, and this desire to kill him herself gave to Sharpe many a day of life. In Juno, 1824, Beauehamp and Miss Cooko woro married. And then ho claimed ho had tho right to assassinate his wife's seducer. Sharpe was now a candidato for tho L?gislature, but his treatment of Miss Cooko added to his unpopularity, so ho an nounood that Miss Cooke's child was the offspring of a negro. He ovon produced a forged a certificate, to substantiate this un heard of villainy. Beauehamp heard tho talo, and ropolvcd that Sharpo's hour had now oorao. Ho ropairod to Frankfort, and, unablo to obtain lodgings at tho hotels, passod tho night with Scott, tho keoper of tho penitoutiary. Ho retired oarly, and proparod for his murdorous deed. Instead of shoes he put on yarn stockings. Ho oonoealed his fuoo in a red bandanna handkorohiot. Ho so. ore ted a long knife in his bosom. Stealthily ho crawled unobserved out of .his lodgings, and ropairod noiselessly to 3harpe's resi denoo. Drawing his dagger he knojkod throe times. . "Who's there?" oriod Sharpe "Covington," replied Beauohamp, (Covington was an inticnato friend of Sharpo's.) Tho door opened, Sharpe appeared, and Beauohamp seized him by tho throat. Ho tried to escapo. Mrs. Sharpo appoarcd at a rear door. Beauchamp toro oft his mask and thrust his faoo eh iso to his doomed victim- "And do you now kuow mo?" ho sooffingly speared. Sharpe drow back and cried, "Great God, it is hoi" These wcro his last words. Beauchamp plunged his dagger deep into his heart. Tho bloood spurted upon tho walls and dubbled tho floor. "Die," WOB all Beauchamp said. And bodied. Tho hue and ory was soon raised. Tho assassin was followed by an eager orowd of pursuers. Captured, arrested, ho was was brought back and tried, ho was con victed; ho was sentenced to bo oxooutcd. His wife remained with him to tho last. Sho mado no attempt at concealing tho fact that she instigated and urged on the a sss s sination. She gloried in it aud scouted ut tho threats of indioting her as a?oessory beforo tho fact. Tho night boforo tho oxcoution she proourod au ounco vial of laudanum, and persuaded her husband to ohoat tho gallows if ho oould. Tho lauda num was diyidod. She swallowed one-half. Ho took his portion. Thon they knelt and prayed. They sang for joy; they shouted that their sins had boon forgivon, and in a delirium of oostnsy roused tho othor inmotos of tho prison. Tho poison did not work. Sho sworo that sho would starve herself to death, dio with hor husbnnd, and bo buried in tho sonic co Oin. June 5, 1826, was a great day in Frank fort. Tho city was thronged to soo the last of J. O. Beauchamp. Tho blaok and ominous gibbet was erected on n hill-top near by. Tho drums boat mournful dirgos from au oarly hour. At ll o'olook Mrs. Beauchamp told tho jailer to lonvo hor for a fow moments willi hor husband. Tho jailor loft, but wos soon recalled by thc. deep groans from their noll. Ho returned and found them weltering in their blood. They had Blabbed themselves with a knifo the wifo had concealed. His wound was not fatal. Il itt wife soon cxpi rod. Beauchamp was carried to her bedside as hor tito's blood was obbing fast. Ho felt her pulso. "Farewell, child of sorrow, farewell, victim of persecution and misfortune! You oro now safe from tho tonguo of slander, For you I'vo lived, for you I dio." He kissed her lips; he was ready. Tho blood wo3 triokling from his wounds. Ho was too weak to sit up, so thoy laid him in a oovcrod wagen and haul od him tc tho gallows. Ile waved his hands to tho ladies, whoBC wooping eyos ohoored him with sympathj and consolation. Thoy woro compelled t( help him to got on his coffin. Ho was tot weak to sit upon it unsupported. "Givo mo somo water. Lot tho drunn play ?Bonaparte's Retreat from Moscow," woro his last words. They buriod tho solf murdorod wifo ao< tho executed husband in tho samo coffin folded in onch other's arms.: Even ii doath thoy wcro not dividod.

COLUMBIA, Soptomber 4.-Tho Stato Board of Examiners, of whioh Superinten dent Thompson is ox-officio obnirman, bavo been in session at the Stato Houso for several days.

Tho gentlemen composing tho board have given thc subjcot of their duties tho most careful and conscientious consideration for several weeks past, and only reached their conclusions to day after patient disoussion and the fullest comparisons of opinions. Tho somewhat divorgont claims nnd interests of city and oountry sohools re quired to bo reoouoiled in somo instances, and this fact lod tho board to adopt alter nate series ia somo oases, as in tho par ticular instanoos of Cornell's and Maury's geographies. It is expected that Cornell's will bo generally used in tho common county schools, while tho moro advanced pupils in tho oity sohools and in tho oountry sohools where desirable may have their studies continued into Maury's Manu als. TliO pr?tof?fico was givob lo Webster's Dictionaries for tho sufficient reason that a very largo majority of the sohools woro already and fully supplied with tho novios, anda ohange would havo involved'addi tional and noedlcssoxpenso not compensated by any other consideration. A WAIL PROM TUE NORTHERN RADI CALS-SARATOGA, August 20.-About 100 Republicans woro prcsont here to-duy in res ponse to tho Carne! circular. John J. Townsond, of Now York, was ohsirmnn, and Charles E, Smith, of tho Albany Evening Journal, scorotary. A letter was read from Senator Conkling, approving tho oonforonco. Ho assorts that "tho government of thc oountry is passing absolutely into tho hands of thoso who so lately sought to destroy it, not stopping until they had filled tho land with woo and burdened it with tho debt and taxes whioh now rest eo heavy upon us. This is not wiso for any section. Raids on thc treasury, vast in amount and without right or honesty, and mustering for tho time when a solid South, dominating tho Domooratio party, as it will and must, shall again rulo the two houses of Congress. Wild sobornos of repudiation and financial chaos and revolution find encouragement on ovory hand, ?nd in most of the States the Domooratio party is being drawn into a whirlpool of fallacious, short-sighted theo ries. Equality beforo tho law and political rights and liborty, whioh tho rooontamond moots to tho constitution wore ordainod to establish, aro becoming only a mockery throughout the South, and froo elections aro not pcrinittod in several States." In concluding, tho Senator expresses tho opinion that no man's wish deserves to bo balanced aginst unity at a time Uko this". Spooohes woro mado favoring an carly fall convention, and resolutions woroadoptod declaring a oeoossity for a full Stato conven tion of dol ego tes oleotod in tho usual way, placing vital Ropublioan principios and success beforo all things clso, and disoountc Dancing whatever may tond to disturb its counsols. Tho resolutions also deolaro that Ropublioan suooess in New York is au protuoly important to a continued Ropubli oan asoondanoy in the oountry, and to tho honor and wolfare of tho nation. With a united South against us, tho furthor tri umph of tho Ropublioan party and its prin cipios in tho land oan only bo assured through tho onrollmont of Now York In tho column of Republican States. No sin ooro and faithful llopublioan can bo insen sible to this momentous truth, and, duly im pressed with tho obligations it imposes, wo earnestly nppoal to tho Republicans of Now York, dismissing nil differences, to labor unitodly for a Republican viotory. Our attention yestorday was oalled to somo bales of cotton whioh had been in tho lato rains, and whioh was badly stained. This cotton was sold at fair prices, but was rejected on account of tho stain, as OOtton covered in this poor western bagging is not morohantablo, tho various cotton oxohnngos and tho manufacturers having ruled that such bailing stuff was not a gooddolivory on oontraots. We adviso ?ur planting friends and dealers in bagging to not uso this stylo of hagging, as its uso will cortainly entail loss on tho planter, whilst wo arc advised that good bagging only couts tho planter six or seven cents Moro per bale than this ohoap W?st?fn bagging. ? Atlanta Oamtitution. ~r--rr Subscribe foj(tbo KKowfue COURIER, SouTii CAROLINA POLITICS.-Tho Au gusta Chronicle and Qonstitutionalist says tho Democrats of South Cnrolina will got into an ugly snarl among thomBOIvee if thoy do not havo a caro. It is not so muoh a mattor of intoroBt to thom at prosont who savod tho Stato as it is to koop tho State safe Ono oluaa of politicians insist upon thoir plan os hoing tho only ono worth having and another set pooh-pooh all pro - grammes differing from theirs. Wo think this mattor oould bo easily arranged. Lot oaoh county, looking woil to certain prinoiplcs upon whioh all are agreed, fight out its own poouliar battle in its own way. What is good for Edgofiold moy not bo profitable for Beaufort, and what would suit Spartanburg may not bo adapted to suit Charleston. It is impolitio, therefore, for mon of ono county to forco issues upon another, whioh may bo dangerous. At all events, bad blood and intemperate discussion are miro to follow theso personal assaults and dictations, and tho result may bo tho reverso of agreea ble to tho democracy ot largo. Each county has all it can do, wo presumo, to tako caro of itself, and it is to bo boped that thero pro mon enough in each county who havo tho propor oapaoity for loadorship without inter foronco from abroad. Thero should bo nothing but harmony io tho Democratic ranks in South Carolina, and wo trust, as friends aud well-wishers of long standing, that all personal and ambitious differences will bc harmonized, at least until the omet tions are over and tho viotory assured. A NE-V KIND OF HELL.-Hero is tho latest on tho Hell question: About twonty years ago o colored prcnohorin Georgia was exhorting a number of Afrioans to "git on board tho gospel train and bc savod from tho torments of a freezing holli" Thc old colored brotbor drow a shivering pioturo of how cold a plaoo boll wes, now sinners woro novor pormitted got within a million miles of tho faintest glimmer of a spark cf fire At tho oonlusion of tho services, a whito brother who was prosont, attempted to correct the old darkey in rogard to thc cli mate of tho plaoo where tho wioked aro said to tako up permanent abode after death The white man wont on togivo tho colored preacher an orthodox description of hell -buming brimstono, bursting of moun tains of lava, scorching limo, rivers of ooal, cot. When tho whito man finished, thc old prcaohor took him by tho baud, and whis pered in his car: "Fur dc lub of do lamb, massa, don you nebbor toll do coons about hero ob such a hot boll, cf sum ob do old rhcumntio niggers wus to find dot out, doj'd waut to go to hell de fust frost, sure!" A young girl discovered her young brother out bohind tho shed tho other day pulling away at a cigar. '?There young man!" she cxolaimed as tho oigar hastily disappeared behind tho boys bock, 1'lLtell your father on you-seo if I don't." "Yes, tell him," retorted tho brother, suddenly recovering hiraBolfj "you tell 'itu, nn' seo how quick that follow 'o yourn 'll ship. I'll toll father how you an' 'ira was aittin ou tho parlor sofa, an' him a huggin' you. You just go an* ic!?, that's ail I ask." Tho sistor vory discrootly withdrew,' whilo the young statesman finished his smoko in tranquillity, As a conceited young man was singing in company, an old lady burst into toars. Tho singer, greatly flattered by tho old lady's emotion, took on oarly opportunity to get an iotroduotion to her, when sho cordially thanked him for his song, and said: "I had a donkey I thought a great deal of that died latoly, and your voioo was so exactly like his, that I oould not holp thinking of tho poor beast as you sang." Sho olaflped hor handkerchief to her faoo again, and tho tho young man silently stolo away. \?7>\ $2.5?. Over IOU hu?^tNi)vi>llh\**'^^p)t3>k ,.
