Brsakibg ths Schedule-*-Whose Lou Is Itl The new through schedules from Charleston and other poiuts to llendcrsonville and Aslievillc are brcken up by the failure of tlio Spartanbuig and AsUeville Kailrosd to fulfil its engagements. At considerable troublo the schedules where so arranged as to accommodate the * idioeyncracies of the Spartanburg and Union and Spartanburg and Asheville Railroads, which are under one management, but whoa the first through train reached Spartanburg, ft was found that the train,for IlenderaonTilie bad 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. Andorsou, the Superintendent of the Spartanburg, Union oud Asheville line. The excuse is that the Air-Line' Railroad had suddenly changed itssohcdule, sad it was necessary in ?nrl nflT lH? ??"-- ? ? ..... iui ncuueraonviiic as soon a? tiie Charlotte truin.arrived. without waiting for the train from Columbia and Charleston, by way of Alston and Union. Rather than detain the passengers and mails arriving by the Air-Line Railroad for an hour, Mr. Anderson holds back the Charleston and low-country mail for nearly twenty-four hours, and gives up the most valuablo part of his summer travel. A poor excuse is belter than none. We fancy that the real reason for the sudden change of purpose has not been given. Upon Mr. Andersou's roads and upon the Blue Ridge summer resorts the effect of the 4 ? break of connection will be serious, if not disastrous. Passengers "will not submit to lie over twenty-two hours going to the mountains, >or eighteen on the return." The Spartanburg Spartan is right in saying so. Already the travel from Wilmington, for which special provision was made, is tnrned back to Qoldsboro', and goes to Asheville by way of the Western North Carolina Railroad. The tourists from lower South Carolina will go around by way of Charlotte, or will- take the Old route by way of Oreonville. Spartanburg will tyse hundreds of visitors, and Greenvillej Anderson and Walti&lle will be built up at her expense. There is ne obligation uoon anybody to go to HondersonTiM* or Asheville. A rush in that direction wu 4x pec ted (hie season because fores Were-low, and the trains were to run through, without break, to tho T*ty heart of the mountains. The travellers will now move in other directions, seeking summer homes in this Statej'or in Georgia,andfevoidingsuch spots as are made, by Mr, Anderson, bardd^ to reach i than New York. The Spartanburg roads are cutting their own throat, and thrusting Spartdburg into the background, for no other reason, tbht 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 reoalcitraot roads and the people of the injured region will be left to fight it out among themselves. Every possible concession was made by tlie managers of the Wilmington, Charleston and Greenville lines when tire late ihrough schedule was determined upon. They have no inclination to go further, or do more.?New* and Courier ^ A Nk.oiio Riot in Ukouoia.?Savannah, June 9.?A |orriblo ri^t took place this afternoon at { Mcintosh, Liberty County, a station on the At- ( lantic and Gulf Railroad, between a party of ne- J gro excursionists from Bryan County and those , belonging to the place. It began in a fight between two negroes, whereupon John Randall, the captain of a negro militia company from Bryan County, which company made a part of the excursionists, ordered his company to oharge which they did, bayoneting everybody within 4 reach. The captain himself killed one man by ' ruuuing mm inrougn wun bis sword. Thorc was inlcnbo excitement at this outrage, and the Liberty Couuty negroes rallied and drove the military company into the cars, and opened fire on them killing foui and wounding many more and only stopped shooting when the train got I out of the way, which they tried to prevent by tearing up the traok. All the parties engaged were negroes. ' ? t Caossixa the Rubicon Uni?kr Fire.?Oalves- < ton, Texas, June 9.?? A special to theiVsier from Eagle Pass says : "Early yesterday morning a company of Mexican Infantry at Piedras Negros mutinied and fought their way through the guard at the gate. About 150 of them crossed to this side of the river under a heavy (ire from the loyal troops, who continued firing after the deserters landed, .many balls striking the houses j in this place. The fugitives surrendered their arms to our citizens to be returned to Mexico. A. number of the mutineers were killed on the Mexioan side. The troops had been six months -without pay and had nothing to eat yesterday evening. The Mexican troops marched outside the city with two of the. captured mutineers, whom they were intending to shoot, but, owing j 'to a strong protest from the citizens, the exeeu- , 4ion was abandoned. : Sad Suicide.?We regret to learn that on Monday night last Mr. Win. J. Rainey, a very worthy and respected citizen Hyfeg near HUirsville, in this county, oommittrd suicide by hanging himself with a rope in his gin house. Mr. Rainey was aged about 65 yeara, and for the paat year had been suffering from a neural* gio affection, and it is supposed he committed the rash act while under temporary aberration of the mind, superinduced by his sickness.? He was an industrious, enterprising citizen, a merchant, the proprietor of a steam mill, to which was attached a cotton gin and other ma- 1 rchinery, and he ever possessed the confidence end Ml..m .1 .11 klk. ? - v. mi niivauoTT inN.-ivrxvuif nnqutrer> An Allbord Com fAk Cancir.?Our tdtn- ] (ion hu b??n drawn to to Article in th?

It is said that aftiie ( seasons when the elorer is not in bloom, the J dried flower will answer as well aa the green, and that the tea of the .blossom, when either green ordry, drank for six or eight weeks, will pi>re the worst ease of eancer. Names are given of persons who elaim to hare been cured bj this \ paeans, and several physicians testify to the en-, tire efficacy of the rdmedy.

A God-Send.?London, June J).?The Ti)mt*' fiaonctal artiole says that tbe recent rise in ootton at Liverpool is doubtless accurately described by a correspondent as a God-send to that lone suffering centre of commercial inactivity. But a for thU relief, we metold^ there must hare been a eraah, and ae If ie'urged Hi at nothing ibore opportune has happened In oemmorcial affairs for ?long time. There is no donbt the rise was | only transient and unreal, so far as the merits of the Maple are ooncerned, but it has enabled | the banks and speculators to esoape temporarily , and in part a perilous position, and has therefore averted collapse that otherwise seemed inevitable. y .. F : A Man Missixa.?A Columbia man, Mr. J. M 8m)th, who has been in the employ of a contractor on the O. C. and A. R. R., repairing bridges, trestles, Ao., is missing more then e week ago. Be was at vrork on the Peri Royal Road, near Augusta, reoelvod hla pay (quite a . sum,) on Saturday night a week ago. and, telagraphed hii family that Ke would be home that > night, Nothing has been heerd of him sinoe, and hie family are feeyfpl that be hep been foully dealt with*. Narrow Escors.?Mr. Wingard narrowly escaped being I lie innocent causo of a terrible accident in Lexington the other day. While outling and cradling wheat, his son approached be- j hind him with his dinner, and the tall grain concealed him from view. Just as the lad came up to bis father, Mr. Wingard had given his keen blade its full sweep, aud it struck his son 1 on the neck just as it had lost its force, cutting I him a littie beneath the skin. The feelings of J the father can be better imagined than described uutil he had ascertained that bis son was not severely hurt. It makes the flesh crawl to J think of the terrible death that might have hap- y pened.?Col.
