' t 3;" 11ANC7It JOLLY,
- Vh kxplolts of a Daring Guerrlla who
Operated in Georgia and Carolina.
.(Proml the Athens. 0&., Banner.)
Many af our readers remember
4Mance" Jolly, who oporated in South
Carolina and Georgia soon after the
war, and was a tcrror to those that
wore the bluc. Jolly had a terrible
account to settle with the Yankees,
andi he paid the debt with interest.
Five of his brothers had been killed
during the war, and he swore that he
would kill five Yankees for each one
of his brothers that were slain. After
a truce was declared bctwccn Jolly
and the Yankees, ie went to Texas
and mnrried. llis father-in-law gave
him a plantatioln on the Opposite tide
t the river, and Jolly commenced
btulding a house, and would swi-n his
horse that he redo while on his many
raids in Georgia over to where he was
buihhng. lie was returnintg to his
father-in-law's for dinner, and while
about midway the stream, "Dixie,"
the name of Jolly's horse, gave out
and they went downi together, to rise
lo morc. Jolly has a relation now
living in Athens, who has given us
some interesting accounts of his hair
breadtb escapes.
Mance Jolly was a very restless fel
low, and could see a Yankee a mile
ofl. ilis relative says he was in church
with him once in Ilart county, and all
at once Jolly bcc"ame vcry nervous and
walked out of the church, closely fol
lowed by his relation, who saw from
Jolly's action that something was
wrong. Glancing through the wood"
he saw a reiment ien.."legro soldier
coining through the wools. Jolly saw
that it was too late for him to get his
horse, as the black troops were nearl
to where the aninml was hitched, ali
hey had begun firing at Jolly. li
ran through the woods, the soldier
shooting at him all the time. lli:
mother was in the church and faintet
when she heard the report o lthe guns.
The soldiers, after capturing Jolly'
horse, left and had not been gnu
many minutes betore .Jolly had atele<
together a few of his followers, wh<
were desperate men, andi fl lowet
after the soldiers. Jolly's mother am
the preacher all tried to stop him, bl
it was nto use. Ilis blood was ulp and
he intended to pay them back fom
Shooling at hiin and stealing his horse.
They had a skirmish with the negr
soldiers aitd sevtral of Oill bit the

Anderson,, S. '., antd inifrtned the
conttandtg oflicer that utnless hli
horse was s ,nt to his hontse thei exl
day that he woul kill him and five o
his mien. The c llicer knew the man i
had to deal with and sent the horse t<
his htou,.e. Five thousand dollars wa
oltcrcd f or Jolly, and s unads of cavalr,
werc continually scouri:ng the country
but, they always came back ninus on
or two or their inen, who were markel
"killed'' on the muster roll. 'Tih
horse, "l)ixic,"-"that he rode on all (
his raids, was a thoroughbred racei
and it was foolishness for any commoi
steed to try and catch him. The hors
was well trained, and dolly could mak
him coine by a shrill whistle. Th
horse would not allow aiy one to aq
proach him ateicr d;atrk except o.lly.
.t' a stranlger' claie neair, he would t g
lci(;tly 1'rantic and kick and bite a
ioig as they were in reach. Mane
Jolly has several relatives still liviin
in Franklin and E11b rt counties. IF

A SLAYE TRADERI'S VEALTU.
The Sons of Etugoio Prollotor Fightlog
for His Fortune.
Lawyer Frederick M. Day has been
instructed by Antonio and Eugene
P'rclleticr, now in Havana, to enter a
caveat to the will of their father,
Antonio Prelletier, which was recent
ly filed for probate in Chicago. By
the tet ins of this will the two sons
were made equal legatees with five
nephews and nieces of the dead man,
and they now claim that they should
have been the sole heirs. Prelietier
made his monev in the sleve trade on
the Spanish Main. In 1850, while
running a eargo of blacks from Cape
of (ood lhope to Ilayti, his two
vessels were seized and confisticated
by the Ilaytien (overnment. Prelle
tier was arrested, tried and condemn
ed to death on a charge of piracy.
This sentence was afterward changed
to imprisonmnent, but Prelletier soon
escaped in a rowboat. IIc was picked
up on the Atlantic by a steamer bound
to Charleston, S. C., where le landed,
afterwards coming to New York.
Meanwhile his two sons, Antonio and
Eugene, and his wife' had removed to
Hlavana, where the latter married
again, she supposing that her first
husband had been shot under the
sentence passed against him by the
Sltaytien authorities. Mrs. l'relleticr
Subsequently met the hushaid she
supposed dead ; but they quarreled,
and the sons took the notlher's side.
Prelletier afterward sted the I Havtien
Government for $1,500,001) for per
sonal damages and loss of property.
Ile died ,just as the suit was coining to
an cnd, and of course the first part of
his claim was swallowed up by his
death. The verdict was for $51,000,

Killing or t'uty Whlio near UIshoplIle.
SUWrER, June 29.-After considerable
dilliculty I have at last managed to rlean a
few facts concerning the murder at I ishop
ville. It seems that Vents White, the wife
of the murdered man CulYy, 'had been
having some intercourse with John Retn
bert, to which the husband objected. On
last Thursday night about 11 o'clock Venus
was sitting on the steps of Mrs. Scott's
house with Hembert, when her husband
approached. Fearing his anger she fled,
and before she got into the house a pistol
shot was heard. No investigation was
made by the parties in the house until
the next morning, when Cuify White was
found in the yat dead with a bullet hole
behind the left ear.
Mrs. Scott., at whose residence the killing
took place, is an aged white woman, and is
known in her neighborhood among the
negros as a witch. A few days previous to
the killing she hmd sold Venus White wlmt
Is known as a con jure bag. Venus was
told that this woui do her good, which
amounted to saying that it would put her
husband out of the way so that she could
marry I{embert. This bag is now in the
possession of the sheriff, and iithe contents
consist of a curious mixture of sand, hair
and other things.
Mrs. Scott, V'enuls White and Philip
Davis, anlother negro woali who is also
accused of biiig an accessory to the fact,
