Thcro is considerable ill-feeling hero between certain members.

If I hnvo tken au honest course 1-t it also be in order that that which 1 prise ifrcr than the <.fl.ee or its emoluments, !&y character, may bo vindicated from tho Jse aud cowardly assaults of one pusil lanimous Green, in tho Sonate Chamber, a position in which I was unable to do fend; ?? myself. Those assertions, unsup ported by facts, were made-there. I de mnnd of tho Grand Jury their verdict ?r their acquittal, an it is the only source to which I can appeal. I regret that I am uuablo to be prnscut during its sit ting. My appointments for mooting the oitizens for the collection of taxes hav ing been uindo prior to tbo order of his Honor Judgo Graham, calling nn extra session of the Court, which renders it impossible for mc to be here. There have boon somo complaint* urged, on tho ground that I havo failed to pay every dollar that has been presented to mo lor payment. I desire in this connection, te state that I received county ordors in payment for County taxes. I paid out as much as I could with the amounts of fuuds on hand ; indeed I havo done so to such a degree that the county is yet duo mo my commissions. I have also to state iu this connection that if the County Commissioners have forgotten their resources, aud issue drafts indiscriminately, I am not respon sible for that. If there has been any thing wrong in their office, I think it should there bo lodged, instead of the Cou:^3ijs!Ottc)S to nil cut viiiuiuiucsa, and cover their own indiscreet actions, should charge some one else for doing just what they are responsible for. I desire to state, also, that iu some ill stances the County Commissioners have made up their books from tho-e in my office, and-it ill becomes them to charge me with doing business loosely, when their every transaction points to a neces sity for investigation. T. K. SA8PORTAS, Country Treasurer, Ornngcburg County. [From the Savannah News, Feb. 18. A "Wife's He ?enge. A Murderous Assault Cpon a Cyprian? The Bowie A'/n/; at Work? The As sailant Arrested and Bonds Given in the Sum of $27,000. Thursday evening last, a terrible cut ling affray-took place at a house of as signation iu this city, situated at the eornbr of^Villiam and Farm sta., which has been the general topic of conversa tion all over the city, and in order that tho public might learn tho exact facts in relation to the case, our reported-visited the place iu order to ascertain all he could in relation to it. THE WOUNDED ClIDL was lying in hor bed, occasionally groan ing from tho pain she suffered, and iu one corner of the room was deposited the pile of clothing that she wore at the time tho nssault was made npon her. Her under clothing was completely sat uatcd with blood, aud the marks of the koifo in several places. The drsso she had worn was very much spotted with blood, and the wholo appearaucc of eve rything she had throwu asido was sick ening. From her own lips our reporter gleaned the following STATEMENT Last evening about half-past six or seven o'clock, a woman knocked at my door and asked mc if my name was Hungerford. I replied that it was. The woman was Mrs. Jane Staley, the wife of John A. Staley, who had been living with me. This woman wai ac companied by her son George and a young man named Cary Tatum, who. entered the room si she did. Tho mo mont I answered Mrs Stale's qnestiony, her son George stepped upon the trail of my drers, which was quite long, and by that means prevented ray rnoring. At the same instant, young Tatum sprang towards me aud caught hold of Ulj aiiiln, ?t*iiCll {1C graf?pctt ii&C a Vi'.'c. Mrs. Staley then drew a Howie knife and rushed at me, aiming nt my face. I endeavored to protect my face and g-">t a severe stab iu the shoulder ; sho next cut a deep gash in my skull on the buck of my head, then changing her position .-be stabbed mc iu my thigh. In try ing to take theksifn from her sho next cut mc from tho contro of my arm down to my thumb. That wound pains mo awfully, ns bad as the one they think haa gono through my right lung. Sho then stabbed mo fire times raoro in the back, and thou I fell exhausted from loss of blood. I suppose they all thought I was dead. Dr. Charltou and his assistant gavo mc chloroform and drc&scd my wounds. I havo not the slightest ill-will toward Mrs. Staloy, and freely forgive her for tho wicked not she h:ts done. I never wished or thought to injure her. Her husband has been HIV "friend" fi?r ? lr>it.rr f5ru?> n 3d (tffCT&d mo $600 to come from Augusta bore. Ho has not paid it nor will he ever. 1 did not wish any notice of this affair said tho 1 nly regret sho had was that she had was that she had was that she lind not killed moon the spot. I then dotormincil to let justico take its course. True, 1 am but a girl of the town, a fast woman, but if I die, I havo friends who will terribly avenge me, friends that I know v. ill not let this matterdrop. THE WOMAN'S HISTORY. Sue Hungcrford, os she is called by the deoii moudo, was born in tho city of Augusta, Ga , on the 30th day of Sep tember. 1847, nud is therefore in her 24th year. Her family is well known iu Augusta. Her parents de'.ermlhcd that oh* ohuuiu have a superior education, SCUt her to the Convent of tho Sacred Heart in Montreal, from which iuetitu tion she graduated with honor. In nu evil hour sho fell into the fangs of the destroyer, end too proud to bury her shame in tears of penitence and contri tion, she pursued the downward path of degradation until her once pure name be came the symbol of reproach. ? 3 As a wo wan of tho town she is woll known. In her manners she is said to be very attractive,.as a conversationalist univer sally pleasing, and her features, in spite j of the life sho has led for years nre re ported to ho undeniably attractive. Un der other rrircumslauccs she would have been idolized as u favored member of so ciety?now. "nono are so poor as to do her revcreuoc." She remarked yester day : "The girl of tho town can never retrace her Stops; wero I disposed to work at tho most mcni il cinploymcut, which of you, gentlemen, would take me to his house and give me bread for my labor ? Not one I Nut oue !" THE CAUSE OF THE ATTACK MADE UPON Ii ER. Some tiino ago Mr. John A. Staley, a man advanced in years, aud (he husbaud of the person who made the assault, in his capacity of agent, had the letting of tho house iu which Mr. Forgnrty lives. While collecting rents he fell in, with Sue Huugerfurd, und formed hot ac quaintance. Sue did not object, it was her vocation. He neglected his lawful wife for her, and cvcutually Mrs. Staley was informed that Sue had had a child by hi in. Pny ??ft?r J3y the wife sat and brooded over her deep wrong, until mad dened with desperation, she resolved to take her rival's life. She went upon her mission accompanied by tho parties al ready named, and the result is before our readers. SUBSEQUENT PROCEEDINGS. So soon as tho facts in tho above case became generally known, a warrant was issued by Justice S. Elsingcr for the ar rest of Mrs. Jane Staley, who wus subse quently released ou bail to the amount ?27,000, to nppeur whenever callfd upon to answer for the offence. Her bonds men were her husband, Johu A. Staley, Robert H. Tatcm and Col. J. P. Pelot. The arrest ? wastmuL^h^jofficers K man and Fox^^Tu the, meantime the condition of the wounded girl is indued critical. Sho has lost a great deal of blood, and at times finds great difficulty in respiring from the first stab she re ceived, which has probably passed di rectly through tho lung. Ycstortlay af ternoon she suffered acutely, having throe spasms, oue after the other. - II 111? The most beautiful girl in the United States lives near Lincoln, III. Her hair is of that particular hue that is a field if ripe wheat thrown toward the setting sun. Her eyes send forth a light so effulgent and magnetic that strangers become spell-bound under its influence and stand rudely gazing. Her checks bear a bloom like the sunny side of an early pench. A pearl would seem almost black beside her teeth. Her form is so graceful that men worship her before seeing face. Her bands suggest the idea of waxen Gngers tipped with vermilion. Her smile seems actually to illuminate her presence, and when f-he laughs the Iis tcner fancies h? hears sweet music in the distnncc. The will of a defunct California doe tor directs that his body shall be dissect ed, and the skeleton shall be well ''wired together," ami placed in the medical col lege, iu case his wife shouldn't want it as a mantle ornament. A visitor to New York siid he stopped at a house kept upon the European plan, which, according to his experience, is to charge so much for the use of the room that you have no money in the morning to invest in a breakfast.
