As Oli? Fkud btrn,t:i>.?Man Francisco, April 21.?Just before 8 o'clock Ibis evening Charles DeYoung entered tho business oltiuo of tliu .. _kl /,r*tiicle ami stood talking with some gentlemen, leaning against llio counter. Directly the dot r opened, J. M. Kallooli. son of J. 8. Kalloch, Mayor of this city, entered and drawing a pistol, without, M fWr as can be learned, speaking a word, began firing at DeYoung. The latter ran through a gate of the counter to the desk inside, Kalloch firing at him as he ran. On rcochiug the desk DeYoung turned face to foco with his opponent, with n pistol in his baud, when Kalloch, leaning over the counter, fired again, the ball striking DuYoung in tho inOtiih. Kallooh then started for the door.? Do Young raised his pistol ns if to tire, but Ills 'strength failei him', (or the pistol was not discharged, and siuking backwards ho foil on tho tioor. Bystanders ran to his assistance, but tho ball had evidently pierced the base of his brain, and in a few minutes he expired. As Kalloch ran out of the door he was seized by a citizon and nt the same uioinout officers came up and took hint in charge and conducted him to tho city prison, wfcere he was locked up. Only one wouud was found on DeYoung's body, although at least four shots were fired by Kalloclt. dirnikimno thv.

The eticiuy was observed ten tulles off. and the British forces were immediately formed into position. Tho artillery advanced to the attack, firing with great effect on tho enemy, who lined tho crest of the hills.? Before the nltack was developed a desperate rtViWboth Hanks. The Ghuzis were magnificently led by three uieu with standards, and charged right into the British line. Some of theiu succeeded in getting round the Hank of two squadrons of lancers who charged on the main body. A considerable number also got through tho line of infantry in the centre, and nearly reached Gon. Stewart and the headquarters of his staff. In stopping these nnil defending (he guns on (lie right (wo squadrons of Puqjuub cavalry made several brilliant charges, and did great execution. The action lusted an hour, when (ho enemy retired from (he hills to the plain, leaving over 1,000 dead, and removing as many wounded. The British loss is 17 killed and 120 wouuded. Brinuino tiie Facto it i km to th it Cotton.? The town of Buck Hill is to have a cotton factory, and it is the iutcntion to have it in operation by next November. The Bock. Ilill llerald says that Captain A. H. Hutchison, President of the company, returned last Sunday from Providcnco, Bhodc Island, where he has been in its interests, and where ho contracted for .3,000 spindles, to be delivored by the 1st of November. The factory building will bo locatod near the depot, ntid will employ about sixty operatives, for whom cabins will be built. It is estimated that 3,000 spindles will consume about 800 bales of cotton per uutium, nnd the directors intend to add 3,000 spindles more duriug the next year. The llerald says that the directors are energetic, enterprising gentlemen, and are backed by plenty of money. Captain Hutchinson speaks highly of the kind trcatiueut he received at Providence, but he does not have a very high opinion of tho fertility of the llliode Island land.?Cvl.

Union County, which he has represented since I hat time, was the first of the middle belt of counties wrested, by great energy and pluck, from the throttle of the carpet-bagger.

The delegates at large and alternates chosen to I lie National Convention at Cincinnati arc underwood to he Hancock men. They were instructed to sustain the two-thirds rule and not to vote as a unit. Resolutions were adopted deploring the existence of sectional strife, and condemning those who fostered it as unworthy to hold places of trust in the government, and favoring sending delegates to the Democratic National Convention uninstructcd except to vote for the best man to harmonize the party and secure victory. At the mention of Mr. Tilden's name there was quite a show of applause, but Hancock's name brought forth round after round of applause. . Poi.itics t.v Edgefield.? Edgefield C. II., April 21.?At a meeting of tlio Hampton Democratic Club of Edgefield C. II., to-day. for the purpose of reorganizing and electing officers and delegates to the county convention in May next, A. S. Tompkins, Esq., was elected president over Hon. J. C. Shoppard, the old president. The Hoc. J. C. Sheppard and Gen. M. W. Gary were both defeated ia tlio race for delegates to the county couvcutioti. Quite a turning round of things. The Bailors ticket run for intendant and wardens two weeks ago, which caused so much bad blood and resulted in tlie shooting affair, had a great deal to do with the result of the election to-day.

Last Tuesday a party of young men went to "the Forest" for a day's sport at fishing. After . catching a few fish they put them on a string in a shallow stream and went to another part of the rivor to try their Inck.

The penalty for not paying the first install- q merit is the addition of 5 per cent, on the ? amount then due. The socond installment will ^ he called for on the loth of September, and after the 31 *t of October the penalty of lfi per cent. upon the wliolo tax and the 5 per cent, upon the first half, not paid in May, will be added to j, all taxes unpaid at that time. As a matter of ^ economy all who can possibly do so should meet . the Treasurer ia May and pay at least the first half of their taxes. It would also bo of great t| advantage to tho Commissioners, as they will ^ stand much in need of money to pay tho Juuc ^ Court expenses and meet other necessary cxpen bcs of the County. Prepare to Elect Delegate*. c It is only throe weeks from to-morrow when a the peoplo of each Township will bo called upon to meet together and elect three delegates to U represent them in a County Convention to bo held on the following Tuesday, tho 25th, at f Union C. II. The main object of the County h Convention is to elect four delegatus to the State Convention to be held in Columbia on Tuesday, H< the 1st of June. The County Con veuf ion will also control matters s; of vast importance to tlio democratic party in Union ami should tie composed of ihu most in- h: telligcut and reliable men in tlie County. In hi the first place, tho State Convention will not '' only oleot delegates to the National Conventional in Cincinnati, to nominate Democratic Candidates tl for President and Vice-President, but will de- tl eide whether the State Ticket shall be noiuiua- n ted at that meeting or deferred to a later day. di Delegates to tho County Convention should be y< chosen with the view of representing the wishes a. of tbe domoorats of Union upon thai question. ft Tiio Uonnty Convention should also represent pi tho wishes of tlio people upon tho way tho Conn- hi ty nominations should bo inado?whethor by a st Convention or through a l'riuiary olection. n> These oro all important luattors and will, in a ai I great measure, if not altogether, depend upon tli J the interest the Democrats take in tho Township ct j meetings. After the Township inoulings these If matters will he in the power of the County Convention and the County Executive Commit toe to p< decide, ami unless the will of I ho pcoplo is un- si mistakuably expressed through their delegates, h' elected l>y a majority of voters and after a full ! 1 and fair interchange of opinions at tho Township meetings, there can be no certainty that the result will be satisfactory, and the usual amount of grumbling and disaffection will ensue.

To-day they invito a comparison, in 1 piantity, quality and prices of goedy, with any narket in the State.

To H. H. Robinson, County Commissioner. < It was not my intention to ntako a personal i Hack on you or auy member ofyouP Hoard, for J iy regard for every member, as an upright hvn- t st man, forbids it. s Now, in regard to the charges, I will say that ie hooks of the Commissioners' office show i iat, as you state, Carrier's contract was $147.50 i cr mile, and not $1.17} per 1<m) rails; also, c nit Mr. Kennedy was a sub-contractor under o arrier, therefore the charges that a count ol 0,000 rails per mile had been allowel and that j ou Lad paid one niau $100.00 per tnile and an- c ther $47.50, on the same, &c., are untrue, and j am glad that they arc. s In explanation as to how those charges arose: t larrier saiJ repeatedly that his contract was I 11.47} per 100 rails, and when it was seen by your t iublished report that he had been paid $1.47.1 c er mile, the conclusion was that lie was allowed t 0 count 10,000 rails to the mile. t In regard to tho other : Mr. Kennedy's name i 1 only one of Carrier's sub contractors that ap- t eared in your published report. That report s bowed the amount be and Carrier had received, ? Now, as to the other two charges : I would lint thoy were not so. The fence is its own ritness. It is there to tell any and every man rho wishes to see it, that it is a very sorry conern to pay $ 147.50 per mile for. You said to inc, f| ist Saturday, that you came very near not re- j eiviug the fence. It is a pity you did so. That Q 11 hands may know where this fence is, I will tell ( liem : It is the fenco pretended to be hnilt by . . , . o arrier from tho West bank of Fair Forest j cross the lower part of C. 11.

As the Ihue is drawing near when it will bo n ordor to drag from retirement those patriotic ;entlumen who are ever so reluc'anl to sacrifice heir personal interest for the public good, it nay be as well to survoy (ho ground. Ante betlum the Shibboleth of parly in South larelina was "principles, not men." A niun was elected with a view to iiis capacity to discharge he trust confided to him. It uiay not havo been trictly complied with always, but that was the ratchword. J'oetMIum the ijucsi ion seems to be, rbat has ho done for the party?what services ios he rendered? and every follow who has nado a stump speech or treated to a half pint if whiskey expects to bo paid for it by being ilcctcd to sotue office. The greed for office, the pitiful ambitiou to ill some public positiou, is just now the bauo of >arty. Now we take it that every mau who ought iu the war or who fought in the great tattle of Stale restoration only simply did his iuty to his country and nothing more. It was lis duty as well as his interest to do so.? Nevertheless, it is but proper iu comparing the nerits of individuals to throw into the scale the lerviccs rendered ; never forgetting, however, he fitness of the man for the place he is to fill, it is not just to the man himself or the pcoplo ic represents to put him iu a position hccauuol ill acceptably to his constituents aud creditably o himself.

They see only through their own glasses, ?s?^ K fcVivia w 1 o\a?? aua uoi ositli tltpy iccomo sore-heads, accuse the Convention or Primary of fraud, trickery, wire pulling, of beng governed by village cliques, and soon run nto Independents. Now, 1 have had u good leal to do with conventions and while I was not ilways satisfied with the selections made and was painfully convinced that a good deal of the work was "cut and dried" before the convention met. I believed it was the peoples' own fault ?I mean the masses. Very often the men that lo the most grumbling do the least work. A neighborhood meeting is called 10 send delegates to the Couuty Convention and not half the neighborhood turns out; a few persons wanting otlicc for themselves or favorites uianugc the whole iffair ; the convention meets and these very men wrho wouldn't budge from home to scud delegates lo a Convention or go to a Primary are the greatest grumblers and want an Independent ickct. Every failure can be traced to those nen who won't turn out. The solution of the problem will be found in .he people taking a general aud sincere interest, n Convention or Primary, in seudiug their best neu to the Convention, or turning out en masse it the Primary and giving their vote for the men hey think competent and trustworthy. We lave too much at stake now to be trilling or playing Independent, TRUTH. For the Times. Juncsville Items.

"The hand of tho reaper Takes tho cars that arc hoary, But the voice of the weeper Wnils manhood in glory :? The autumn winds rushing, Waft the leaves that arc nearest ; But our flower was in flushing When blighting was nearest." As a tribute of respect to his memory, tho following resolutions wero adopted at a meeting of this chapter: Wiikrkas, In the inscrutable dispensation of His providence, it lias .picasca tlie Alt Wise ltuler of tho Universe to remove from among us, our beloved brother, Bernard Ulcuu ltawls, and, Wuereas, Tho Sigma Chapter of Chi Fhi Fraternity thereby loses ouo of its most efficient members, who but u few days ago was iu the midst of us, clothed in the full appenrauce of youthful manhood and robust health ; but lie now lies in the cold and silent embrace of death, reminding us of the fact that "in the midst of life we are in death." Thcrcforo, be it. liesolved, That we shall ever cherish a profound veneratiou for his memory, and hold up for imitation his eminent character, exemplifying in our midst the faithful exercise of the cardinal virtues of our fraternity: "A good name is better than precious ointmcut, aud the day of our death than the day of our birth." Ilesolvrd, That a blank page of our history be dedicated to his memory, and tLat in testimony of our deep sympat hy with tho bereaved family, wo transmit to thorn a copy of these resolutions.
