Breaking the Schedule-*-Whoso Lose is It 1 The new through schedules from Charleston and other points to Mendcrsonville and Aslieville are broken up by the failure ot' the Spartanbuig and Ashcvillo Railroad to fulfil its engagements. At considerable trouble the schedules where so arranged as to accommodate the idiosyncracies of tbo Spartanburg and Union and Spartanburg and Ashevilte Railroads, which are under one management, but when the first through train reached Spartanburg, it was found that the train for Hendersonville had started some time before, and that passengers must remain in Spartanburg until the following evening, about 22 hours. No warning of the change he had made was given by Mr. Anderson, tho Superintendent of the Spartuuburg, Union uud Ashevillc line. The excuse is thnt the Air-Line Railroad had suddenly changed its schedule, aud it was necessary to send off the train for Hendersonville as soon as the Charlotte train arrived, without waiting fnr ra ? n f 4 - w. ... V Itviu WIUIIIUIII UI1U V.IIJIIIL'31 Ull, by way of Alston and Union, itnther than detain the passengers and mails arriving by the Air-Line ltailroad for nn hour, Mr. Anderson holds back the Charleston and low-couutry mail for nearly twenty-four hours, and gives up the most valuable part of his summer travel. A poor excuse is better than none. We fancy that the real reason for the sudden change of /* purpose has not been given. Upon Mr. Andcrsou's roads and upon the Ulue Ridge summer resorts the effect of the . break of connection will be serious, if not uisastrous. Passengers "will not submit to lie over twenty-two hours going to the mountains, nor eighteen on the return." The Spartanburg Spartan is right in saying so. Already the travel froui Wilmington, for which special provisiou was made, is turned buck to Goldsboro', and goes to Asheville by way of the Western North Carolina ltailroad. The tourists from lower South Carolina will go arotind by way of Charlotte, or will take ^ the old route by way of Greenville. Spartanburg will lose hundreds of visitors, and I* Greenville, Anderson and Walhalla will he built up at her expense. There is no obligation upon anybody to go to Hendcrsonville or Asheville. A rush in that .lirentinn km otmpIaiI ?!? ?. ???- I ? ? r" sou because fares were low, and the trains were to run through, without break, to the very heart of the mountains. The travellers will now move in other directions, seeking summer homes in this State, or in Georgia, and avoiding such spots us are made, bj Mr. Anderson, harder to reach than New York. The Spartanburg roads arc cutting their own throat, aud thrusting Spartaburg into the background, for no ot her renson, thnt we can surmise, than to curry favor with the Air Line Railroad. It is no concern of the summer tourists. They can and will make other arrangements. The recalcitrant roads and the people of the injured region will be left to fight it out among themselves. Every possible concession was made by the managers of the Wilmington, Charleston and Greenville lines when the late through schedule was determined upon. They have no inclination to go further, or do more.?Aeu>3 and Courier A Nkuuo Riot in Gkokgia.?.Savannah, June ?A terrible riol took place this afternoon at Mcintosh, Liberty County, a station on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, between a party of ncero excursionists front Itrvnn ('.mniw n?.l ilmo. belonging lo the place. It begau in a fight bctwccu two negroes, w icreupoa John Randall, the captain of a negro militia company from llryan County, which company umde a part of the excursionists, ordered his company to charge which they did, bayoneting everybody within reach. The captain himself killed one man by running him through with his sword. There was intense excitement at this outrage, and the Liberty County negroes rallied and drove the military company into the cars, nnd opened fire on them killing foui and wounding many more and only stopped shooting when the train got out of the way, which they tried to prevent by tearing up the track. All the parties engaged were negroes. ? CttosstNO the Rriiico.n UnI'KR Fire.?Galveston, Texas, Juno 9.?A special to theNeic* from Eagle l'axs says : "Early yesterday morning a company of Mexican Infantry at l'iedras Negros mutinied nnd fought their way through the guard at the gate. About 150 of them crossed -to this side of the river under a heavy tiro tVom the loyal troops, who continued firing after the deserters landed, uiany balls striking the houses in this place. The fugitives surrendered their arms to our citizcus to be returned to Mexico. A number of the mutineers wcro killed on the Mexican side. The troops had been six months without pay and had nothing to cat yesterday evening. The Mexican troops marched outside -the city with two of the captured mutineers, whom they were intending lo shoot, but, owing to a strong protest from the citizens, the execution n-nu nlinn.lnnn.l Sai> Suicide.?We regret to learn I lint on Nlondny night last Mr. Win. J. Kainey, a very worthy and respected citizen living near I'dairsvillc, in this county, coinniitto'i suicide by hanging himself with a rope in his gin house. Mr. Kainey was aged about 65 years, and for the past year had been suffering from a neuralgic affection, and it is supposed lie committed the rash uct while under temporary aberration of the mind, superinduced by his sickness.? lie was an industrious, enterprising citizen, a merchant, the proprietor of a steam mill, to which was attached a cotton gin and other niaqp chincry, and ho ever possessed theeonfidencc and esteem of all whokucw him.? Yor/cville Enquirer. An Au.kof.n Cure for Cancer.?Our attention has been drawn to an article in the New York Sun in which it is set forth that a certain cure for cancer is fouud in a tea mado of Lhv blossoms of red clover. It is said that at the seasons when the clover is not in bloom, the dried (lower will answer as well as the green, and that the tea of the blossom, when either green or dry, drank for six or eight, weeks, will pure the worst case of cancer. Names are given of persons who claim to have been cured by this jneans, and several physicians testify to the entire efficacy of the rdincdy. While declining to vouch Tor mis recipe we give 11 lor wnai u is worth, since it will, at least, do nobody any harm.?Charlotte Observer. A (5od .Sf.nd.?London, June 1).?The Times' financial article says that the roccnt rise in cotton at Liverpool is doubtless accurately described by a correspondent ns a God-send to that longsuffering cciitro of commercial inactivity. Hut for this relief, we ate told, there must have been a crash, and so it is urged that nothing more opportune lias happened in commercial affairs for a long lime. There is no doubt the rise was ^ only transient and unreal, so far as I ho merits of the staple are concerned, but it has enabled the banks and speculators to escape temporarily mid in part a perilous position, and has therefore averted a collapse that otherwise seemed inevitable. - A Man Missinu.?A Columbia man, Mr. J. M Smith, who has been in the employ of a contractor on the ('. C. and A. It. It., rcpniring bridges, trestles, &c., is missing more than a week ago. Ilo was at work on the Port Itoya! Itoad, near Augusta, received his pay (quite a sum,) on Saturday night a week ago, and telegraphed his family that he would be home that night. Nothing Ins been heard of him since, and his family arc fearful tint lie has heen foully dealt with. Narrow Escopk.?Mr. Wingard narrowly escaped being the innocent cause of a terrible accident in Lexington the other day. While cutting and cradling wheat, his sou approached behind liitn with his dinner, and the tall grain concealed him from view. Just as the lad came up to his father, Mr. Wingard had given his keen blade its full sweep, nud it struck his sou on the neck just as it had lost its force, cutting hitn a littie beneath the skin. The feelings of the father can be better imagined than described until lie had ascertained that liis sou was not severely hurt. It makes the flesh crawl to think of the terrible death that might have happened.?Col. Register. - - ? ? A Terrific Naval Enoaubment.?London, May 2?.?The following telegraphic intelligence has been received at Lloyds : "An engagement has taken place oft' lquiquc, Peru, be ween the Chilian wooden vessels Esmeralda and Cavadonga and the Peruvian aruior-plntcd frigate Indepcncia. All three vesselo sank* The Indepencia was the mosmportant vc.-flel in the it Peruvian navy, carrying fourteen heavy Armstrong guns." A Radical Perjurer Ajirested.?Joseph J. Johnson, ono of the witnesses in support of Kellogg. has been arrested charged with committing perjury by swearing falsely before the said committee ; among other things, that he did not dictate a single line or word in the affidavit offered in evidence before that committee.
