An Old Fkud Slttlkd.?San Francisco, April 21.?Just before 8 o'clock this evening Charles DeYoung entered t!io business olfioo of tlio H ?rmtticie and stood talking with some gentlemen, leaning against the counter. Directly the dot r opened, J. M. Kallooh. son of J. 8. Kalloch, Mayor of this city, entered and drawing a pistol, without, far as can be learned, speaking a wor.l, began firing at DeYoung. The latter ran through a gate of the counter to the deek inside, Kalloch firing at him as be ran. On I reaching the desk DeYoung turned face to face with his opponent, with a pistol in his , hand, when Kalloch, leaning over the counter, feredi fcgain, the ball striking DeYoung in the mod'th. Kallooh then started for the door.? ; DeYoung raised his pistol as if to fire, but his ] strength failel liim', fur the pistol was not dls> charged, and sinking backwards ho fell on tho flour. Bystanders ran to his assistance, but the ball had evidently pierced the base of his brain, < and in a few minutes he expired.

The I Ghasis were magnificently led by three uien with standards, and charged right into the British line. Souio of tlieiu succeeded in getting round the flank 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 Gen. Stewart and the headquarters of his staff. In stopping these and defending the guns on the right two squadrons of l'uigaab cavalry inade several brilliant charges, and did great execution. Tho action lasted an hour, when the enemy retired from tho hills to the plain, leaving over 1,000 dead, and removing as many wounded. The British loss is 17 killed and 126 wounded. . Brisuixo tub Factohiks to thkCottos. ' The town of Rock Hill is to have a cotton facto- 1 ry, and it is tho intention to have it in operation , by next November. The Rock Uill Herald says that Captain A. ?. Hutchison, President of the company, returned last Sunday from Providence, Rhode Island, where he has been in its interests, and where he contracted for 3,000 spindles, to be delivered by tho 1st of November. The factory building will be located near the depot, nnd 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 annum, and the directors intend to add 3,000 spindles more during the next year. The Herald says that the directors are energetic, cutcrprising gentlemeu, and are backed by plenty of money. Captain Hutchinson speaks highly of the kinJ treatment he received at Providence, but he does not have a very high opinion of tho fertility of the Rhode Island land.?Col. Remitter. .

The delegates at large and j alternates chosen to the National Convention at ( Cincinnati arc understood to be Hancock men. They were instructed to sustain the two-thirds I rule and not to vole as a unit.

As a matter of pe conomy all who can possibly do so should meet ^ be Treasurer in May and pay at least the first alf of their taxes. It would also be of great ^ dvantage to the Commissioners, as they will wj land much in need of money to pay the Juno wj lourt expenses and meet other neoessary ex- QQ en sea of the County. ^ re pare to Elect Delegates. 06 It is only three weeks from to-morrow when be people of each Township will be called upon lb > meet together and eleot three delegates to C* epresent them in a County Convention to be M eld on the following Tuesday, the 25th, at lb In'.A. n u rrL. ??i <"?- - '? v. ii. ino uittiu uiycui UB iuo i>oUQiy ?? lonvenlion is to elect four delegates to the State invention to be held in Columbia on Tuesday, he 1st of June. lh TheOounty Convention will also control matters sn f vast iai|M>riance to the democratic party in Jnion and should be ooinposed of the most in- hn lligent and reliable men in the County. In hi he first place, the State Convention will not *'i inly eleot delegates to the National Convention at m Jiooinnali, to nominate Democratic Candidates th 'or President and Vioe-l'residont, but will do- th tide whether the State Ticket shall be nomlna- n ed at that meeting or deferred to a later day. di Delegates to the County Convention should be y< ihosen with the view of representing the wishes as if the democrats of Union upon that question. fo The Uonnty Convention should also represent pi he wishes of ths people upon the way the Oonn- hi y nominations should be made?whethor by a st Jonrenf ion or through a Primary eleotion. ai These are all Important matters and will, in a ai ;reat measure, if not altogether, depend upon th he interest the Democrats tako in the Township oc leetings.

Tho largo and fine slocks of Spring and Burner Dry Goods, Groceries, &o., just received by o merchants of Union is a plain Indication that icy anticipate a brisk trade this year, and wo link they will not be disappointed. ^Ftie busitw of the town is steadily and sui^j -inoreasig evety year. Customer* who ^hdsT their ish purchases in other markets during the years hen money commanded 20 per cent. and~ buytg on liens was not only the ruling business at concentrated all the trade in tb% hands of tOse merchants who could command the oapid to enable them to give long credit, and for hioh they were, in a great measure, oOmpelied ? charge unusually high prices on goods sold, toss cub! oir era are now returning to our maret, finding that they oan do as well la their urchasea, save time and be sure of honest eight and measure, by trading with the mertianta in their^own county town. Oonfidenoe and good feeling is being restored etween the people of the town and country.? his good has resulted from the stdctly honrable and business-like principles n^on which ur merchants have always based the^ Iran sacion with customers. They may, par taps, have een charged with demanding toe ldgh prices jr their goods ; but we have never 'heard any ne charge them with giving short weight or hort measure, or substituting an inferior arlitvTOrxmr uiiu pumuaseu. x-rdpnatRCT 10 kind of double dealing; tho quantity and [Utility of goods you bought you were sure to el, and at tho cxaot prices agreed upon. A fow men in the County, whose unbalanced ooouills upon our merchants ledgers an<lt in iany cases, for othor legitimate reasons, made heir creditdoubtfhl, a few years ago raiseJ a hue nd cry against the business men of Uniou and >st no opportunity of entioing their friends to ry other markets to buy and sell. For a time his went on swimmingly, and the new market, ke a new toy to a child, was a great attraction; ut when money and business came down to a olid and sonnd basis; when cash purchases was is rule instead of the exception; and the rices of goods fell with the prioes of everything Ise, the merchants of Union were among the rst in this State to gladly adopt the deeline nd mark their goods down to the lowest living rofit. To-day they invite a comparison, in nantity, quality and prioes of goed|,yrllh any larket in the State. Their Bound financial standlg, in all the wholesale markets of thnaquutry, nobles them to buy entirely for easbjfof upon he mbst advantageous terms on orMit, and t is their interest as. well asyjnolii^atient to-gjve ^ he people of Union County* every advantage in rice and accommodation that any other niaret may offer, and this they are doingV ?" Nor should it be forgotten that last Winter he Cotton market of Union was the highest of ny above Columbia?and we have seed it even igher than Columbia. For this the merchants re entitled to great credit, as they parohssed lost of the Cotton sold here. Everything that an safely be done to keep up the good eharao>r of the town and secure to the people of the >untry the best home market, the merchants of niou are doing ; and being citixens and large x payers of tho County they have a right to ipect that the people of Union will ir?oogniie leir claim to public confidence and patronage. To H. H. Bobinson, County CommitsWher. It was not my intention to make a personal tack,on you or any member of yoirt* Iloard, for y regard for every member, aa an upright hpnt man, forbids it. Now, in regard to the charges, I will say that e hooks of the Commissioners' office alio* at, as yon state, Carrier's contract was ill7.nO tr mile, and not $1.17 J per 100 rails; also, at Mr. Kenuedy was a subcontractor under trrier, therefore the charges that a count ol >,000 rails per mile had been allowed and that iu Lad paid one man $100.00 per mile and auher $17.60, on the same, &c., are untrue, and ?m glad that they are. In explanation as to how those charges arose: trrier said repeatedly that his oont/ttot was 1.47} per 100 rails, and when it was aebfcby your tblished report that he had been paid $1.47} r mile, the conclusion was that ho was allowed count 10,000 rails to the mile. In regard to tho other : Mr. Kennedy's name only one of Carrier's sub-contraotors that ap ared in your published report. That report owed the amount he and Carrier hail received. Now, as to the other two charges : I would at they were not so. The fence if its own itness. it is there to tell any and dVery man ho wishes to see it, that it is a very sorry conrn to pay $147.60 per mile for. You saldto inc, it Saturday, that you came very neat- not reiving the fence- It is a pity you did so. That I hands may know where this fence is, I will tell em : It is the fenco pretended to b^bnilt by trrier from the West bank of Fair Forest rose the lower part of C. B. llammett's land to e corner of his, J. T. Hill's and the White's nd. Now, if you are sliil not satisfied about this, nd Goudelock or Jeter to n-e, aud I will show 0 fence, and if they call it a feuce, then I will y untrue again. ? As to the chargo that fenco and water^racke m1 been received and paid for whioh iftever Lve been put up. It ought (d H^ve oeeu which had not been put when received." I ean by "when received," the day you finished e mcasMirvuionv 01 me uue. now, on mat (lay iU semblance of a fence was not all up, nor the tck. Carrier requested me to meet j^qu that iy. I went over but failed to oatch up with >u. 1 went all along this fenoe and found it i I slate, not finished, nor was it finished r some time afterward, and the rack was uevqr it up by Carrier. The wagon you saw start to tul the log never returned. The fence you ated to me as being the fenoe you had received i the County line fenoe, was also inoomplete, id there is no water rook yet where it orosses is oreek. I do not kuow how you oame to relive this fence, unless by Carrier's statement. ' so, ho "took you in," oertain. I have already disclaimed any intention of a rsonal attack on you, aud now repeat it. ',My ngle purpose is to cause Carrier to make* the hoc good. It ought to be done, and I llriffk'tho rmmissioners are the men to see that ho <4<>CV ; and t think they have him JffJf wlto^Tboy n make him do it.

Ante bellum the Shibboleth of party in South Carolina was "principles, not men." A man was ( selected with a viow to his capacity to discbargo j the trust confided to liitn. it may not have been : strictly oomplied with always, but that was the ( watchword. Pott it Hun tho question seems to bo, what has he dono for tho party?what sorviccs has he rendered? and every follow who hns , made a stump speech or treated to a half pint ( of whiskey expects to bo paid for it by being ( elected to some offioo. The greed for offico, the pitiful ambition to < fill some publio position, is just now the bane of ( party. Now we take it that every man who | fought in the war or who fought in tho great ( battle of Stale restoration only simply did his j duty to his country and nothing more. It was ( his duty as well as his interest to do so.? Nevertheless, it is but proper in oomparing tho merits of individuals to throw into the scale the services rendered ; never forgetting, however, the fitness of the man for the place ho is to fill. It is not just to the man himself or the people he represents to put him in a position ho cannot fill acceptably to his constituents and creditably to himself. Unfortunately, in all communities there will be found men who plaoe too high an eatimato upon their own worth or the worth of their favorites. They see only through thoir own glasses, * ** " tliVrW W SW aa%4 mm ?ay Kill ?sUK t ltpy become sore-hends, accuse the Convention or Primary of fraud, trickery, wiro pulling, of be|n8 governed by village cliques, and soon run into InilAnnndnnlfi Nnur I li.va 1, a 1 a mmil deal to do with conventions and while I was not always satisfied with tho selections in ado and was painfully convinced that a good deal of tho work was "cut and dried" before the convcntlon met, I believed it was the peoples' own fault ?1 mean the masses. Very often tho men that do the most grumbling do the least work. A neighborhood meeting is called to send delegates to the County Convention and not half the neighborhood turns out; a few persons wanting office for themselves or favorites manage tho whole affair ; the convention meets aud theso very men who wouldn't budge from homo to send delegates to a Convention or go to a Primary are tho greatest grumblers and want an Independent ticket. Every failure can be trocod to those men who won't turn out. The solution of the problem will be found in the people taking a general and sincere interest, in Convention or Primary, in sendiDg their best men to the Convention, or turning out en matte at the Primary and giving their vote for the men they think competent and trustworthy. We have too much at stake now to be trifling or playing Independent, TRUTH. For the Times. Joncsville Items.

Businoss of late lias boon somewhat stagnant in Jonesvillc excepting at the Shoo shop where it is booming so much that the Colonel was obliged to employ moro hauus in order to turn off the work promptly. On Saturday morning last an altercation took place on the plantation of Lott Ilill between two oolored boys. As usual in such cases, ono of the party drew a pistol and shot the other in tho side. As the pistol was only loaded with gravel the wound was not of a very serious nnturo. It should, however, be a warning to all, for had the pistol been loaded with ball, tho conscquenoee would have been fatal. The common practice of carrying and using fire arms ncw-a-days throughout the country is not worth my time to make any oomment upon, for I believe the proa lice will be carried on until the law is more strict and every offender mode to suffer the full extent of the law.
