The shooting was assault made by Terry upon f the United States Supremo Ueort. Latbbop, Aug. 14.?Tbo Southern Orerland train arrived here at 7.30 o'clock this morning, and the passengers alighted fr for breakfast. Judge Stephen J. Field and Deputy United States Marshal Nagle walk- oj * ed inte the depot dining room and sat down for brsakfast, side by side. b< ?

As soon as she had ^ left the diniDg room, and before she reachthe train, Judgo Terry walked to where *' Justice Fied sat, and stooping over him, slapped his face. iUmit\itiraliai Knt?lf> Ihoreitnon arose iu from liia seat and shot Judgo Terry through 0| the heart. Stockton, Col., August 15.?At tho inquest last night over the dead body of J udgc Terry no new facts were developed. A number of witnesses were examined, d among them being the proprietors of the hotel at Lathrop. The coroner's jury returned a vordict tlmt the deceased came to a his death from the effec ts of a gunshot h wound inflicted by David Nngle, at Lathrop. b San Francisco, August 15.?Ihc following facts were submitted to Justice Field mid declared bv him ti> be 9. correct statemen t of ? DuringJudgc 1 crry s confinement 111 the County jaii he threatened upon his release ' to take the lives of Judges Field and Saw- 1 y?r. Prior to contempt of court, for whioh he was in prison, Mrs. Terry, in his presence, had made an assault on Judge Sawyer in n j Pullman car. It is believed that had Sawyer resisted 0 the insult Terry would have killed him. t Terry's threats were so publicly made that j they reached tho ears of Justice Field's colleagues of the Supremo bench and were made known to tho Department of Justice iu , Washington, whereupon Attorney General Miller ordered Marshal Franks to tako whatever means were necessary to protect the persons of Justico Field and Judge Sawyer from assault. On his arrival in California to hold court in this part of his circuit, Justice Field objected to being put under the protection oftlio Marshal's office. When asked if he intended to carry anus to defend himself, ho said, "No, I do not, nnd will not curry arms for when it is known ? tflftl. the Judges of courts are cimpelled I j to arm themselves for the defence of assaults offered in consequence of tficir Ju<Vic?\ notion, it will be time to dissolve courts consider the government a failure and let society lapse into barbarism." Notwithstanding his objection to protection, the Marshal declared himself subject to the order of of his superior officer, Attorney Gcueral Miller, sud deputized Mr. N'agle to keep within reach of Justice Field, ready to carry out the orders of the Department of Justice. In an interview at Indianapolis Attorney General Miller corroborates this stutcinent and says he gave Marshal Franks orders to protect the Judges A passenger wlmwn on the train atl.athrop says that when ho heard the shooting he rushed out of I ho car and saw Mrs. Terry with a satchel iu her hand. She was trying to open it aud he took it from her. She tried g to gain prosession of it again but failed. j When the -atcliel was opened afterwards a < pistol was found in it.

Indeed, ttie matter has na. bt aumed such proportions thut our most in- M telligcnt men aro considering how it may w be decreased, and what is the reason fur the increase. I" Human life seems in the eves of many to be more than that of the brute, and man kills hia fellow-muu, in many instances.

W'e search in vaiu for the cause of the w increase ncoordiug to the views of many. (| Men, prominent socially and politically ( are shot down like dogs, and in most cases 11 the plea of self-defense is nil that is necessary to acquit. We dislike very much to ;n believe that this thing will continue, but (i) unless the laws are luorc r'gidly enforced anil the rope brought more frequently into use. we have little promise for improvement 1 in the future. w, >< o iio('0 I) see :? |>m>uc sentiment cultivated thai will look down upon those who seetu to have such an utter disregard for human life, uu<l one that will he such a pressure upon our courts ami juries that ' no guilty innu will be allowed to escape.? 1' York h'tit>r/n,s,' c| ? s Pi t.i.

Davis Lewi* and Fletcher Farr, came nto the store, and while Farr attracted Mr. Trefzcr's attention Lewis slipped around the -ountcr to the safe, and finding it unlocked itole a box in which was $10 in silver. Mr. Trcfxer missed the money that cvenng, and suspicion resting on those boys, jpon being closely questioned about it they confessed the <jrimc. w The lstys lia4 spent a large pa/L Wfi the money, but Ahoir relatives have made up the deficiency, so that Mr. Trefxer has recovered all that was stolen. It was a daring act, particularly for such youths, and shows a shrewd capacity and inclination for crime that will bear close watching. The Cotton Factory is not dend, but Bleeping. The amount subscribed up to (lute i? $45,090, and as soon as the subscriptions reach $00,000, the company will be orguuized. Surely our merchants will not allow such an important project to fall through for tho want of the small sum of $ 15,000. Nearly the whole of the money will be spent among us while the building is being erected ; and from the time the corner stone is laid there Would be a steady increase of population and business in the town, that would yield at least 10 per cent, business profit upon every dollar invested. water on the cut erpriscrfiy tei/ifllaf'SSu Cutton Factories arc standing stilt at tftii imir, nsk him if there is any Factory stock for sale at $125, and whether the mills art not stunding still because they have worked up the stock of cotton on hand ; if theii order books are not so full, thut when tin cotton comes in, the Facteries will be com polled to work night and day to fill those orders ? It is very peculiar that one week we hcai stockholders say that Factory stock is tin best in tho market, and the next week wi hear stockholders say the Faetories ar< stopping : aud all the time you could nol buy a share of their stock for less than $1 25 or If 1 50. WoV" For the life of us we can sec but on reason for any one leaving tho town o Union in ijuest of health and comfort, dur ing ii;ii/ /?irt of the year; and that one rea J0U1 Is, a c fur v\?nnjcc, Mill lo be 111 111! fashion. ?H- huh1 "iumi urnm .Mi'iuuii men sitjr inn .1 change of air ami surroundings wan con dttcivv to mental and physical strength ant activity, as it rubs oil the rust that accttnui lales from the monotony of everyday life rests the mind ami body, brightening both ami renewing their vigor for the better per forinaiicc of all their functions in the dutic of life afterward.

The Town Council is talking abou ordering a largo firo alarm boll, and erect ing an engine house. Well, wo think i would be a wise expenditure of money Tbe tiro cngino is now si exposed to tin weather that it is almost impossible to keef it in workiug condition: and although fi rei in Union generally involve considerable los: when they do occur, they occur so aeldonn that the engine is forgotten and neglected and when its services tiro demanded it is so out of order that either i cannot he used at a'l or the tire gcti beyond control before it can throw a stream upon it. We suggest, however, that if they pur chase a bell, it should be placed on tin hotel. That would bo the most centra position ami being Dearer the populous pari of the town, the alarm from it would b< heard quicker and by more people than il placed at the cxtremo end ; besides, il would l>c always accessible, and at the Bame time under the eye of some one to prevent its being rung for false a'arms. gfcjjr" The action of the Liverpool Cotton Kxchange upon the matter of cotton vs jute bagging, it necuit to us. should show the cotton producers of this country how completely they are at the merey of foreign markets and speculators, and impel them to throw nil their influence and means toward establishing nnd sustaining among themselves all those industries in which cotton forms a part or a whole of their products. Many fear we are overdoing tho Cotton Factory business. Why, in the .South, we aro hardly on the threshold of the cotton fabric enterprises. Not until the South can control tho cotton market through the demand of her own Factories will there be the least danger of building too many Cotton Factories down here among the cotton fields. ? - ? UHa,. So far the crops of cotton, corn and peas never gave greater promise of large yields. There i? also, plenty <>t grass, which should be saved for winter roughness. Crab, or crop grass hay is fully as good as the Northern hay we buy at the stores, and always finds ready sale at good prices, j>id it ever occur to our farmers that they get more for the hay they soli than the Northern and Western farmers do'.' Hut, such is a Jaet. We pay the same for homemade liny, from the wagon, that is charged for Northern and Western hay, w ith railroad freight added. If Northern and Western farmers can. and they do, make money on liny cut from land worth from *'?<> to Jfl-V ail acre, it does seem to ns that the Southern farmer could make money from hay cut from 1:111< 1 worth from $ "> to $10 an nere. ami more especially wheu t hcy*pel at least, t lie cost ol railroad I'rcipht more limit the Northern ami \Ve?teni farmers do. Cleveland County, North Carolina, has withdrawn nil oppositioii to tlie issue ol the $100,000 in bonds for the Three I s railroad. York and Lancaster Counties should follow this example.
