... V ,,, rrL ,? +- The WMtkevBalwllion Tho Washington StarAlWTs organ, contains additional particulars concerning the recent whiskey troubles in the mountain regions ol North Carolina, South Carolyn and Georgia.? /The Star of the 18tli snys^From information waily received at the otlico of internal revenue, it woull seem that the illicit distillers in the mountain regions ?f ?1 " ? * 0 mm OUlllll caroiiua and Georgia, have organized a system of armed resistance to tlie authority of the government, both civil and military. In late raids, made by revenue officers, aided by federal troops, resistance has Lcen made by the distillers and their friends. Frequently deadly conflicts have occurred.? In a recent raid made in Nqrth^Ceorgia, the officers succeeded in capturing a large number ol men, and destroying numerous distilleries, with their contents, The revenue agent in charge of this section, in a recent report to the Commissioners of Internal itcvenue, on this subject says : "I shall make another raid into anothet section of Ilarralson County, and on Sunday night will make an extended raid into Tnulditig County." Ore :t excitement prevails in the sections of the country which we visited, and bodies of men, mounted and arined, are patrolling nnd picketing many of tho reads. On our next raid I anticipate resis.rnce and trouble, and would have already had it, if our movement had not been a surprise." On the 6th of February, revenue agent Chamberlain, accompanied hy a detachment of soldiers, raided a portion of llarralson County, nrrested 27 men, seized and destroyed U distilleries, 103 stnuds of beer and mash, aggregating 15,000 gallons, and GOO gallons of low AH the property was destroyed for want Oi transportation. Another partt^^njUjr Revenue Agent Grcinieon, nccompaniVHky a detachment of soldiers under the cotrun'ftBa of Lieutenant. Mclutyre. of v Socond lufuutry, wwyji to Gilmer County^Oa., arrested fifteen men,"destroyed twelve distillerios, with largC quantities of beer and inasli.? This party was attacked at niglil by the friends oL the persons arrested, and Lieutenant Mclntyro was killed. This is the first instance on record where the civil officers of the government in the South have been resisted in the discharge of iheir duty when backed up by Federal soldiers. The following dispntcli was received at the office of internal revenue: I'ahtkrsvii.i.e, Ga., February 12, 1877.? Detachments sent out for Lieut. Mclntyre's body were attacked and thrco distillers killed before the Imdy could be recovered. The body when found was robbed of watch, money, and everything of value. Have made eighty-four ar. csts and destroyed thirty-three distilleries. G. 15. Chambrrlaik, Revenue Agent. Lieut. Mclutyre was a native of Ireland, and appointed in the army from the State of Illinois. All the facts in regard to the situation in tlio three States above named have heen ad embodied in a letter addressed to the Secrcly of the Treasury, by the Commissioner of * Internal Revenue. This letter will bo presented to the President in the Cabinet, and it is expected that he will direct more troops to be sent to the district infested by these armed bands of illicit distillers, with instructions to break up their hnunts and destroy their distilleries, and bring all whom they can ar\ rest in for trial. There being no cavalry available for use in theflKitntcs, the Commissioner of Iuternal Revenue nas directed the purchase of a large number of horses with which to mount the infantry detailed to nssisttlic revenue agents. What a Delightful Place to Live At 1 The following is taken from a Nevada paper, * J* and gives an encouraging picturo of "Life in the Black Hills:" * r- The Dkauwood Daily Paper.?We have a daily newspaper?that is, sometimes it's daily ?and then when the compositors get drunk it don't coino out for several days. If a man wants gun-wadding he goes and pays four bite for a paper. Whenever they stArt a new city government they print a lot of ordinances; then there's a grand rush for tl^paper.. Sometimes it comes out twIWa week, and sometimes twice A Growing tjraveyxnn.?Every man in Dcodwood carries : bout fourteen pounds of firearms hitched to his belt, and they never pass any words. The fellow that gets his gun out first is the best man, und they lug off tbe other fellow's body. Our graveyard is a big institution, and a growing one Sometimes, however, the place is right quiet.

They don't kill hitn for what bo has done, but for vrhatthe's liable to do. I suppose that the average deaths amount to about 100 a month. Thb IIostii.k Savaoks.?The country swarms I tvith them. They swoop down on the small 1 camps at night and kill whole parties. In one camp (I few miles from bead wood fifty-two men ^ were killed in one night. Out I never saw a word about it in any newspaper. The Cheyenne papers suppress all such items, and if the Deadwood papers print them they are bought up at snv price in Cheyenne and destroyed. I hhve gone out several times to hunt for men who went out to prospect and found them all Ucnd. I once saw fifteen men lying around a camp fire where they had been shot down and left. The Indians take their arms, currency and coin, but J#ave the gold dust. b ' Packard tub Usurper Wounded in tub State H.iusb. dy an Unknown Man.?New Or^jjfens, Feb, IS,?Two men called oLfho door of k. (Tie State House to day and asked for Packard. One olaimed to be an ex federal officer and the other a discharged soldier. They were brought to the bead of the stairs, when one claiming to be a correspondent, named Weldon, of the Philadelphia Prc?s, and deshred to see Oov. Packard, was sent in aad found Packard sealed at his desk, talking to Judge Ooreman. Weldon took ? a vacant chair on Packard's left and asked :? "When'can I see yo#?" Packard turned and found a pittol pointed at his head. li? the pistol down which discharged taking effect in Packard's .right knee. Packard knocked Weldon down, when several drew pistols and f lirci, wounding Weldon severely but not fatally.

At the hour named Representative Hamilton was accosted by a crowd of drunken and noisy negroes at the corner of Calhoun and St. l'hillip streets. They abused him in the vilest language imaginable, and actually assaulted him. He ap- | pealed tb a policeman who was near, but this knight of the clubs and stars was evidently in sympathy with the black mob, ^md^rcluscd to afford Mr. Ilauiiltou the pro* tectum ho asked and was entitled to. Fortunately for the crowd Ilamiltou was unarmed. as he was not the man costand such treatment quietly.

There are two distinct portraits of Gov. IIami>tox. The one issued by the "Hampton Portrait Company," of Charleston. S. C., is engraved in line by Marshall, and will be of i iposing appearance, and lifc-siuc. There is also a print out representing the Governor. We suggest that our people wait and see both pic turcs, before choosing which they will have. Marshall's famous engravings nre attracting unusual attention. The superb large line engraving of Washington, from Stuart's celebrated oil portrait in the Boston Athciucuiu?a plate valued at ten thousand dollars?when originally brought out ahout ten years ago, nt. once placed Mr. Marshall in the very front rank of engravers, ancient or modern, meeting, both in Europe and America, the most extravagant encomiums of nrtists, critics, and men of judgment. It was even selected for exhibition at the French Academy of Design, an honor accorded to none but the very highest works of art. It is, moreoverthe best, indeed the only satisfactory, portrait of Washington that exists, and is the acknowledged standard "household engraving" of him. Tho late Edward Everett said of it; "The magnificent engraving of^&tuart's head of Washington. It is truly a superb work." Bancroft, the historian, writes: "I have liqcn for some years a collector of the many different engra vings of the portraits of Washington. This is beyond comparison the best of them nil?the I only one that is perfectly satisfactory." Mr. George S. llillnrd, the well known art critic, says: "Were it the head of some unknown person, a lover of art would be glad to have a copy of the engraving for its rare intrinsic merits, and every American should be ready to make some sacrifice in bther ways in order to possess so satisfactory a representation of Washington." Marshall s Ji. E. I ,ce, just out, is a wonderful work, nnd in a few days his "Gov. Hampton" will go to the people of South Carolina and the country, a nohlo tribute to a great leader, who conquers by his high character and by peaceful means, not by the sword,?News and Courier.

Hampton's Portrait "Waok IIamitox, Governor of Sovtii Carolina," it* the subject of an exquisite nearly life-size engraving, just published (and now ready) by our eutcrprising friends, Walker, Evans & Cogswell, Charleston. S. C. We congratulate these gentlemen on the grand success they have made of so noble a subject. As a work of art it stnnds unrivalled, nut still its chief merit lays in its being a life-like portrait. It is the first* product, on so large a scale, of a new and sectet process based on photography, having the advantage of great truthfulness. As the photograph has superseded the oil-painting, because ol its exact reproduction of the subject, so this procott is bound to take the plnce of steel engraving, on any method which depends upon artistic conception and exeoution for result?we mean for lh^ production of portraits. What the people wigit in a portrait is truth ?they do not wish the artist's conception of a man, but the face and features of the man ns he is?and by no means can this grand result be better attained, thjn by the means of photography, and this nrwyirocess baaed thereon. But while these groat mjftfcctfces are secured, it admits of the embellishments of art, nnd a portrait is produced possessing nil the truthfulness of a . photograph, with the artistic effect of the ' steel engraviig. The publishers have been extremely. fortunate in their selection of the mode by which thiy give to all admirers of the great statesman thi noble, generous, innnly features, which speak so plainly the gieat mind, elevated feeling, and generous heart of Wade Hampton. Those whi worked for the grand cause, "Hampton aid HomcKulc,'' who have paid taxes to the government of their choice, can now place this picture at their firesides, ns they have placed its nuojecl in their hearts. It must become one of the "Pennies" of South Carolina. Those whosympathized with the gallant little State in the struggle against such tremendous otitis, will be pleased to have this portrait in their homes?a glorious memento of a penccful, noble effort of a liberty-loving people to redeem themselves from oppression and misrule. It will be sold by subscription only, at per copy. Agents wanted to canvass every city and town in the land. To those wllf cannot bo reached by agents, the publishers will supply copies per mail, ou the receipt of the price. Address WALK Kit, EVANS & COGSWELL. Charleston S. C.
