[From the Charleston News A TALE OF BLOOD, From tbe moment that Mr. C. Bowen appeared in the Recou&fruci Convention as a'delegate from Charl ton. and was sketched in graphic s in ti*e columns of the city papers, I interesting individual has contrived attract to himself a considerable st ot public attention. To begin with, v?as said that bo was dismissed Confederate service for drawing his more frequently than the army regu tions allowed. Then, again, unk rumor had it that he was unpieasan implicated in the cold-blooded mur of Colonel White, in 1564 (the circu stances of which form the basis of Dreient article.) and for alleged comj ;ity in this dark business the persei ted Bowen was arrested, and might h; come to grief but for that sudden u\ heaval" iu 180.3, which brought son to many a joyous heart and an uu< pected release to manya trembling cr inal. A little later Mr. T. J. Mack ? himself a Kaaical politician, printed catalogue of charges against the unf tanate Bowen. Mr. Mackey said t Bowen bad stolen faro checks; 1 misappropriated the funds of the Un League; that he was a bigamist i incendiary, a robber of dry giods, ? so forth. Nevertheless, Mr. Btwen i elected to Congress, and, at the time the election of 1870. the circumstan made it expedient U array against I the "grand, gloomy and peculiar" fa enneeted with this personal history There has been, however, an undi rc rent of excitement in the communi This was strengthened by revelatic connection with the manipulatory p cesses of Congressional elections, wh? as a part of the history of "The Bal Box" in America, are printing in I ?o'iumns of the X' tcs. Yesterday I excitement reached its height when I report flew from Line street to the 33 tcry, and was circulated from Cot House *o curb stone, that the "blooo viliian" who murdered Colonel Wh had made a clean breast of his crin and prepared a noose big enough to < circle his own neck and that of t tender hearted Bowen. The ubiquitous reporter of the 2St at once hastened to the centres of crii r.al interest, and learned that one ] J. Grimes (not the traditional Grin ..with buttons down behind") had ma an affidavit before Trial Justice Caulfi? confessing the murder of Colonel Wh and that he was instigated thereto Mr. C. C. Bowen. Proceeding to t' T J. C , our reporter was informed th Sheriff Mackey WJS in possession of; the papers. Knocking at his official o ciput for facts, our reporter was referr to Mr. Thomas Jefferson Mackey (as disinterested person) fur farther info mation, and that mild mannered ma being properly interviewed, furnish' the substratum of the curious narrativ which is given below. THE PRELUDE TO THE DRAMA. It appears that on Saturday last, Go ernor Scott, on ths application of M Stephen McAllister White, of Savai nah, issued a requisition on the Goveri or of Georgia for the persou of one E J. Grimes, charged with being ti murderer of Colonel Wm Parker Whil ol'thc Twenty first Battalion of Geot gia Cavalry, then encamped on tl Waceamaw, opposite Georgetown, i this State. The murder took place o thc night of the 7th of Marci), 1804. J may be here rt mai kc I that Mr. Mc' White is the sou of the murdered offi Cur. ?I?E PURSUIT AND ARREST. Armed with this paper, officer S. ?j Coats, of the State Constabulary, starte af once upon his mission, and, after v.< iting several points in Georgia," sue ccedi <i in tracing Grimes to McPuffi county, Ga., where the arrest was niadt The prisoner was in a house with fiv? er six friend?, though tor what purpos they wire gathered it is not stated, an? on Liing informed by the officer of th object ol his arr? st. promptly surrender cd himself, not ev< n demanding to sei thc warran?. As proof of thc extraor dinary confidence reposed in him bj officer Coats, the prisoner was no when restrained by handcuffs, bot made hi: journey in a genteel, peaceable ?tn voluntary manner. They were accom? panied from Georgia by Mr. Larritnore a friend of the Prisoner. ARRIVAL AT CHARLESTON, 'i i.e party arrived in Charleston til Tuesday even rig by the Savannah and Charleston Kailroad, and yesterday morning Grimes was carried before Trial Justice Caulfield, and made a f ull confession of all the circumstances at? tending thc bloody deed. CONFESSION Of THE PRISONER. Ile >tates that his name is Eli G. Grimes ; he was born and raised in Lee C?'U??iy, Ga., but at present was a resi dent ol M cl'tithe county. C?a. That he was pr sent at the killing of Colonel Wm Parker White, on the night of the 7th of March 1801. uear Georgetown. S. C., and he himself fired the fatal shot, tari?? compelled to do so by Captain Christopher C. Bowen. That he* was first approached by said Kowen in the latter ? art of February, 1864, and told to kiii Colonel VV. at the first opportu nity. '1 hat Bowen then constructed A TURKEY BUND (a piare from which turkeys are shot,) on th? road which the Colonel was in the habit of traveling on his visits to ; cert in i idy friends, and banded prisoner a rifle, whieh be(l>,>weu) had loaded. Th^ prisoner at first rejected the prono sitio.i, but subsequently, fearing that 1M?W?MI would kili bini (Grim??.) he did enter ?be blind and watch for his victim. Thal subsequently, however, prisoner removed the lock from the gun and broke ibe main-spring, informing Bowen that the latter was broken whiio in the act of cocking the rifie. That Boweu remarked, "it wu? damaed ?frange that the eocking of a gun should break the aprin;; " That Bowen then built a second blind ou the road leading from the camp to (he boat lauding, and gave prisoner another r fle, likewise loaded hyl*?>w?n. That primmer again refused to kill Colonel White, (raying he had done bim no wron;;. This waa ou Satur? day. TBZ PRISONER THREATENED WJTII DEATH. Tbat B - wen then remarked : "T aro going to Chtrltstou, ?od #T11 retara oa Tuesday morning. When I come back, if you have not killed old White, jon shall never see home, for I will kill you." That, thereupon, the prisoner, on the following Monday night, .about 10 o'clock, took the icdentical rifle given him by Bowen, and went near the home occupied by Colonel White; that the latter was sitting in bis bed room, near the window, where the prisoner could have shot him in the head or body, or anywhere else, but not wishing to shoot him so openly, prisoner went to the side of the house, aud fired through the weatherboarding, in a direction different from that in which he believed Colonel White tobe sitting, that the ball, however, struck one of the legs of Colonel White, which was stretched out, and inflicted a wound of which he died in a few days ; that prison? er, thereupon, threw the gue into a ditch, and passed a miserable and un? happy night, and the next morning went to Colonel White and confessed the deed. THE DEAD MAN'S OPINION. That Colonel White said that he be? lieved and forgave him, but thai'. Bowen was a black hearted villiao and should suffer for the crime. That Colonel White spoke to the prisoner as a father would speak to a son. and that prisoner, afterwards fearing the consequence?, es? caped from the guard while they were bringing him to Charleston, and from that time has been at large in Georgia. That he has suffered remorse of con? science as the result of the crime he committed, and has never enjoyed peace of miod since the act. OTHER CONFESSIONS. That on several occasions, in 1SC7 and subsequently, he made a full state? ment of the circumstances to Mr. Lump kin, Mr. John L. Larrimore and several other respectable citizens of Georgia. That he is now twenty-four years of age and was seventeen at the time of the murder. That he would have given himself up long apo, and informed the relatives of Colonel White, that as soon as Bowen was arrested, he would appear against him in evidence, but did not dare to do so while Bowen was at large, from fear that Bowen would kill him. THE CONFESSION CORROBORATED. Mr. W. P. Larrimore, who was pres? ent at the above confession, corroborat? ed the foregoing statement in an affi? davit by himself, and gave Grimes a high character. He offered to go on his bond and obtain bail for him to any amount. It was also remarked that the gun was afterwards found in the ditch, where the prisoner declared it to have been thrown, and the bullet-hole was discovered in thc weatherboarding at the point described in the confession. Bowen was in Charleston at the time the murder was committed. The prisoner states that Captain William Law, of Savannah; Captain Russell, and Lieutenant W. Platt, of Augusta, were present when he made the confes? sion to Colonel White, the morning after the fatal shot was fired. It may be put in as A COUNTER STATEMENT. to the forcgoiog that we have been in? formed that at the time of thc investiga? tion, in l'SG-t, by the military court, of the facts connected with the murder, this same Eli Grimes made an affidavit that Bowen did not instigate him to commit the murder, and had nothing at all to do with it. TOE COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER. Grimes was committed to jail by Trial Justice Caulfield Ic is understood that he wiil be kept in strict seclusion, and that no person whatever will bc permitted to interview him. A FUNNY INCIDENT-LOOK TO YOLK ''EXTRAS,"GIRLS. About half-past li o'clock yesterday, says the Memphis A ?iprvf of Monday, ns the people were returning from church, a lady dressed in the very hei-rht of fashon, with a Grecian bend of map t.ificent proportions, tripped doxn Main street in the most approved sty!e, like a cat treading on eggs. Just as hhe reached the corner of Main and Jef? ferson s'reet, where the geo'Ies most do C'jngrepa'e, a newspaper, neatly folded, Blipped from uud< r tier -kirts and fell nu the sidewalk. A "maekeril" saw il fall, and called out to her that she had "drapped sump'en," but she kept her i eyes fixed on vacancy, and moved straight ahead without appearing to hear him. A few steps further anoth? er wad fell from the same reliions, and there was a diminution in the size of the hump on her back. The boy yelled after her npain. "I say. Misses, you're osing ail your pzp^rs !" Tiie only sipn of hearing him that she gave was a quickening in her pace, as if abe was anxious to get away from those diggins as soon as possible. A kind hearted lady, who was walking behind her and understood the situation, at this moment hurried up alongside and whispered to he that she was lobing her bend. j^his information caused her to turn into a friendly stairway to repair damages, but just as she put her foot in the door ati enormous bundle of pipers, a hundred orso in number, dropped from beneath her skirt and rolled on the bequctte Thc "mackeril," indignant at the treat? ment he had received, and the apparent disdain with which hilt polite retentions had been met, on this rushed forth, seizing (he bundie of papers, startled the Sabbath stillness ou the streets with '.Ere's your extra ! Latest from the teat of var." The lady, it is needless to .-ay, didn't stop to take an "extra." -The life blood of a newspaper is wu] to be its advertising ; but then life blood, to be effectual, must have good circulation. -Why are there no eggi in Sun Do? mingo?-They banished the whites, and caat off their joke. -A dootor was a*ked to dance the .'Lancers." He declined, but expressed a willingness to dance the nancers. -A very partieular swain lu Hunt? ingdon cent his marriage to the paper with the addition, "Nooardanaomi."

Oct 5 Ayer's Sarsaparilla, JTOZ? IXBIF?MG THE BLOOD. Thc reputation this ex? cellent medicine enjoys, ls derived from its cares, many of windi are truly marvellous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous dis? ease, where the system seemed saturated with corruption, have been purified and cured by it. , Scrofulous affections and diaoi-dcrs.whieh wcreag cravated by thc scrofo lons contamination outil they were painfully "fllicti'i?, have been radically cured in such great . limiters in almost every sec? tion of thc country, tort thc public scarcely need to be informed of'its. virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one of thc most destruc? tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt tenant of tbe orzan ism undermines the con? stitution, and in vites Ute attack ol' enfeebling or fa? tal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its Sresence. Again, it seems to breed infection iroughoutthc body, ami t!icn, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of ita hideons forms, either on thc surface or nmonc the vitals. Ir, the latter, tubercles may bc suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it shows Its presence by eruptions jn thc skin, or foul ulc?rations on some part of the body. Hence the occasional nse of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla ls advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons af? flicted willi the following complaints generally find immediate rcl>f, and, at lcnglh, cure, by tho use of this SARSAPARILLA: St. Antho? ny'* Fir?, Rote or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Read, Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other emptions or visible forma of Scrofulous disease. Also in the more con? cealed flinns, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Eil?, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous affections of thc muscular and nervous systems. Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial JHs cascs are enred by it, thoutrh a long time is re? quired for sulKluing these obstinate maladies by any medicine. But long-contiuued use of this medicine will cure thc complaint. Leueorrhaa or mites, Vterine. Vlrrrations. and Eemal* Diseases, are commonly soon relieved and ulti? mately cured hv its purifying and invigorating effect. Minute directions lor each case are found in our Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of ex. traneons matters in thc blood, yield quickly to it, is n]?o Lirer Complaints. Torjiidity, Conges* tion or Inflammation of the Lirer, and Jaun? dice, when Bricing, as they often do, from tho rankling poisons in the blood. This SARSA? PARILLA is a croat restorer for the strength and vigor of thc system. Those who are Lan" ?uid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and troubled with berrou* Apprehensions or Eears, or any of the affection? symptomatic of Weakness, will find immediate relief and con? vincing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
