Cannot some of our friends supply us with a 'ilQe noa I Bacon is the cry now. We-are out and have not the prospect of a supply, unless some of our friends'will "come to the rescue." osUlities again Resumed, 15y a private despatch, received by a gentleman of this place, we learn that hostilities have again been resumed by the Federals. What the armistlce was for, and wlhat good it has done, we have been unable to learn. We suppose that- in a few days thd whole matter will be laid be. fore the public. Clean Up. It will be noticed, by reference to Council proceedings which we published in our last issue, that owners of lots in the burnt district are requested to clean away the rubbish, &c., that has accumu lated there. We hope that all owning property in that district will not wait the near approach of the 15th May, but will go to work at 'once, qnd have the side walks cleaned, and everything disagree able to the eye removed. All .i-ould feel an interest in this matter. Our town council have taken the right step, in all their resolutions. By refer once to the names of the gentlemen com posing the council, our worthy. Inten. dant and excellent Wardens, it will be a sufficient guarantee that the adininistra tion of the affairs of town will be proper. ly done. We leid a hearty sipport to our Council in their good work. Telegrophio News, Since the telegram announcing the as. sassination of LIUcoLN, we have re ceived no telegraphic news. Why this is, we are unable to saIy, but suppose that under existing circumstances, telegraphic relorts from our armies must fall under the armistice. We hopo -to have news for this morning's issue, but if we receive none, we put it down that telegraphic reports must be contraband. We hope for better times. The Foreign Reoognition. *The reports and rumr.ors of foreign ree ognition-have not .died away. Soldiers passing through still say that France 'has recognized the Confederate States, and by that recognition, declared war against the United States. A gentleman living in this commnity, (who is one .of the paroled roldiers,) informs us that he saw in the New York Jfer ld, the news of the recognition of the ConfederateStates, and that the Yankees have had a bruh tcith the French navy, and been toorsted. All this may turn out to be nothing but talk, but we are inclined to place some confidencee in it, by 'force of the' cir oumstances of, the 'past few daye-the armisticb, &c. It is settled now, beyo'nd a donbt, that the prop'osal for an armistice came from the enemy-gain, some of'our friends who passed through frorn the * army yesterdiy unornin, informs us that -the Yanakee tied to enliast 'them after their surrender, for thue purpose of driv ing the French out of Mexipo. *Of course, we have no official news in regardtoths matter.' rlygv 9 t, hoping that it may be tr 4 * main.

It has reference to an ex tract taken from our paper in regard to mules being stolen from an esteemed lady of our district. Well, all we have to say is, that the editor of the Phaniv is verySmart in deed, and to show his-Smart-ness he was Smart enough to clip the Smart pniece from our Smart columns. Captain Sim DON SMAnT, our efficienrt Town Marshall, was Smart indeed to ketch that chap, after lie tried to show his Smart-ness in various wayp in bur community. But, to the extract, which is a very Smart composition: "STARLING CAUGIKr STEALIN.--The Winnsboro News reports a self-styled Confederate soldier, named Starling, who clalms'to represent this poor old town, as stealing a pair of,. mules from Mrs. Woodward; but the Starling was arresed in his flight by the t4wn marshal of Winnsboro, who 'seteii to bear the oppropriate name of. Siart. Now, Starling himself, while etealing, should have been smart. That he was -n6t, proves hini to be doubly criminal. How over moody lie may be now, while in prison, he is certainly no longer mulishi; lie is accordingly in. proper condition to be w rought upon by the moral agencies which shall make smart for his jack of smart-ness in the profession he has so Wit lessly undertaken."

He is tall, and well proportioned, wears a beard and moustache very black, ald ,is prepobessing both ill ap pearance and manners. His command was composed of two white regiienta in advance, with three regiments of "corps de afriue ;" these troops comprising his entire force. The Mayor coming up, and surrendering the town, tle order "Forward was given, and immediately the negro troops, struck up the song of -Old John Brown" to good time, but all the words we could catch were something about "Hanging JEFF. DAVI8' on a crab apple tree. Marching about one square, they wore again halted, the black troops wgre or, dered to file off to the right and left, and camp on the green for theinight, thety not being allowed to enter the town. except in small parties. After they were disposed' of, the white troops were marched through the Main Stree, singing "Uome, Sweet Homue," they were halted at the Public Square, and then camped. A guard of one hundred and fifty men under the Provost Marshall was placed upon the streets, for the protection of the. citirens with orders not to allow plindereng, or any of the houses to be entered. As far as I have been-abe to ascertain the order was fully carri ut, ouiy one or two instancei i ats vidlation being reported,-oue of vhich I will give. Two or three of the negro troopo entered the house of a citizen, threw themselves upon the sofas in the draw ing roon, and asked the lady' of the -house, "Where are the laaies'that wait upon you?" She rqplied, " you have reference to my negro servants, they arp in the yard," They said "They did not know what she meant by negroes," and demanded-that her servst shond 'be immediately 'brought into he hous4.

With difficulty the patient was got under the influence'of chloroform, and when the bone, was ex. posed from its upper left extremity to the middle of the chin, it was found that the whole mass was'in the worst stage of dis ease. At the' latter point the bone was severed with the saw, and-a hope enter tained of saving the right half of the jaw, or a .part of it ; but on examiintion, the disease wa? found to exte:? upward on shat side. also and involved a further re moval o(halof.that half of the bone, which was also executed with masterly 'skill and great delicacy. .The fleshy parts were th9n brought togethey with the suture, and tasieflkly 4ressed by the Opersting surgeon.
