j GRAND JURIES.
The Grand Jury undoubtedly constitutes a v
' necessary and valuable part of our police syst
5 ! and when the high and responsible duties devolv
" j upon it are fearlessly and conscientiously dischar

- | over-estimate their office, and placing a violent c
l ' stvuetion upon their privileges and duties, to bra
- I out and "splurge" upon matters which in no wise
1 { long to their jurisdiction.
: i Last year, a Richland Qrand-Jury was guilty <
- very silly and stupid attempt to demonstrate the
! pedieucy, or rather the absolute necessity, of the
r opening of the slave trade; and the present lavi
1 tiiis subject wag presented as tyrannical, a nuisai

t Now, with the exception of the Know-Nothing j
r sentment, which, whatever may be said against

The former have already taken too much license
determining the minds of juries upon matters leg
mately brought before them; and it is a little o
the mark that they should, in addition, indulge in
Ilitical disquisitions, and endeavor to forestall pul
opinion by dragging out of a mongrel mass of t
* these erudite treatises upon political economy. If
' understand the province of a Grand Jury, these p
1 sentments are glaringly out of place, and, with j

pit, or made the subject of sewing-society delibe

Q(j We have of late received several letters of inquiry 11
in reference to our Press, from Publishers in this and ' ]
^ adjoining States, to which we have given written re- p
1 plies. As there are still others of our country co- ,,
i , ' r
the ! temPorai''ei,? however, who may desire to ascertain ! i
>rk l*ie Tll^ne machine, we think it best, once for e
cj all, to note down editorially the results of our expe- ^
rience. The advertisement of Mr. Robinson, the in- 1.

The introduction of Power Presses into country
>ry I t
j 1 offices has hitherto been an untried experiment?the
'. ' immense cost and capacity of the Adams and Hue 1
ICS * y 0
I Presses placing them quite beyond the means a* well
as the wants of the country publisher. The circula- j
, tion of many of the weeklies, however, has been of
the . t i i i i i I
late years so widely extended as to require greater
1II 14
j speed than can he obtained by the use of the Washington
or Smith presses; and an invention which
l'j would combine the requisites of speed and cheapness
was much in demand. A year or two since. 0
,l" Mr. Gforoe BnrrE offered a large reward for a Press (
! of this kind, which induced Mr. Ronixsox to under- *
* ' take the experiment resulting in the construction of ('
the machine now offered to the craft. An unavoid- 1
, able delay prevented him from having the machine v
, in readiness for inspection at the time specified, and c
? consequently he was unable to enter the lists. He "
has since made several valuable improvements, and T
SR. is now engaged in an extensive manufactory of his 0
own. at Princeton, New-Jersey. '
The principle upon which this press is constructed '
differs from that of other cylinder presses in this v
? particular: the hod is fixed and stationary, while the y
cylinder is made to perform at the same time both
itu- the forward and rotary movement-'. Tu other partiiavc

ced I (lay last, with Liverpool dates up to the 23d of April. ' 11
rai~ | The Liverpool cotton market is reported steady at ; 11

lalf The political news is important. After the thir- ^
tecnth session the Conference at Vienna was broken ' ?
>re- off?llussia having resolved to reject the demand con- j
the tained in the third point, in reference to the reduction w
ints of her power in the Black Sea. The English and si
iat- French Ambasadors had left Vieuua, and, it is to be j si
ion presumed, all efforts for peace by way of diplomacy ( tl
ob- were abandoned. We have also news to the effect j w
; in that all hopes of an alliance between Austria and the ' Ii
the Western Powers are at an end. The details have ra
A not reached us, but we suppose that suspicions in d
Frill regard to the honesty of the Austrian government j tl
hat were aroused by events occurring during the pro- j
ury gress of the Conference. They might will have been w
;ry. indulged at an earlier date. The subjoined para- w
e in graphs contain all the items of importance by this w
jti- arrival. 1 ol
ver The bombardment of Sebastopol, with five hun- j ui
po- dred guns, commenced on the 9th, and continued till ti
jlic the 15th of April. It is not believed that a success- . Tl
aen ! ful assault will be practicable, but an attempt to j th
we storm will probably be made. Wc learn that during b<
,re- the first two days of the bombardment the fire of the ' so
ust besiegers was superior to that of the city, and much or
iul- damage was done in Russian works. During the w
ra- night of the 13th, the left attack of the Allies obtain- of
ed a considerable advantage over the Ruwians, who co
Rj Ct? CT
rere twice dislodged from a strongly fortified posiion,
which remained in the hands of the French.?
.'he possession of this position enable the Allies to
ovtify the summit of the hill, which is of great imlortance.
Since the doge began, five of the seven
tdmirals of the Russians lleet. in Scbastopol, have
ither died of wounds, or been killed. Gortschakotf '
ias published an address to the garrison, in which
10 states that matters look most encouraging to the
icsiegcd.
The Rritish loan of j?lC.OOO.Of)0 had been taken by

cnuiincd the guests of the Queen five days, during
rhich many ridiculous things were done: among otlirs
the Queen buckled ribbon around his leg and
lung some over his shoulder (the left shoulder, we
resume) which constituted the august ceremony
if the investiture of tho Garter. On Thursday the
Sniperor went to Loudon to receive the addresses of
he municipality, to which lie made a reply which

attack upon the King's English, we are inclined

Affray in Florida.
A correspondent of the Carolina Tiw.* gives
an account of an altercation at Ocala, Florida, on
the 2-)th ult., between Mr. William Center. formerly
of Richland District, and a Dutch jeweler
named Fa iiiax. We presume the latter is the Fauian
who formerly kept a jeweler's shop in Chester. We
copy from the T'on**:?
"Sometime last fall an altercation took place between
the parties, relative to a watch which Mr.
Center had sent to the jeweller to be repaired, and a
fight ensued. The jeweller got the worst of it, and
prosecuted Center for assault and battery. This
being Court week, the case came up for trial, and
terminated unfavorably for Mr. Center. Hecxpivssed
great dissatisfaction with Fabian's te-timony :
declared be had sworn falsely, and that lie meant to
have revenge. Yesterday, 011 com.ng in contact
with Fabian, lie commenced upon him a violent as mult.
To the hand-to-hand scuffle that ensued,
Center clinched him around the body from behind,
with his left arm. confining both Fabian's arms, and
dealt out blows upon his head and face with his
right. Fabian managed at length to draw a revolver
from his pocket, and commenced nnng ouun.wnru.-i
over his shoulder at renter's heail. fie fired in quick
succession three shots. The first two passed through
Center's hat. the third entered his forehead just over
the left eye, about the middle of the eyebrow. Fabian
then ran swiftly across the public square, entered
the Court House and surrendered himself to
the Slier:tF. Medical aid was procured immediately
and Center's wound examined. The probe followed
the course of the ball for two and a half inches directly
backwards, but it could be traced no further.
The ball is lodged in the brain, and the opinion is
that, without a miracle, he cautiot possibly recover.

Counterfeits.
Twenty dollar counterfeit notes on the Bank
of Charlotte. North Carolina, are in circulation. The
following is the description of the bill, as given by
the Favettcville Observer:
' Letter A, No. ol", dated October 18o3: signatures
well executed, but upon comparing them with
a genuine note a very sight difference may be seen.
The No., date, names ol Cashier ami President, all
seem to be in the same hand writing and with the
same ink, which is not the case with the genuine.?
The vignette of the note is a little blurred. The legs
of the horse getting shod can hardly be seen, while
on the genuine they are plain. The faces in each
corner of the note are not well done. The general
appearance of the whole note is lighter than the
genuine."
The Zouaves.
The reader's curiosity has doubtless been
aroused by the frequent mention of Zouaves, in connection
with the campaign in the Crimea. The Paris
correspondent of the Journal of Commerce gives the
subjoined account of this celebrated Regiment.
"You will permit mo to bestow a paragraph on
the Zouaves, drawn from the full history and graphic
description of that redoubtable corps which arc
furnished in La Revue. The common impression
that the Zouaves are chiefly natives of Algeria is entirely
erroneous. In 1840 Gen. Clausel, then commander
in the province, organized a native corps of
infantry and cavalry. It consisted of 'wo battalious
that received the name, in the Arabic. Zocaomi.from
a tribe or confederation of Kuby tribes, inhabiting
fKo forlKoaf frnrrriw nr irlens of thj Juiurtt. TllPV
%,4W .?* ?mw? & r>"w o- - ? ?
were a proud, intrepid, industrious race whom the
Turks could never really subdue : they were well I
known at Algiers, as they frequented the city for the
purpose of barter ; they enjoyed the reputation of
being the best foot soldiers of the Ilegencv. Kubyls '
and Arabs of every title could be admitted into the i
new corps, but they were not found trustworthy.? >
When adequately trained they deserted to the tribes !
that happened to be at war with the French, aud |
proved the most dangerous adversaries. Ere long it \
was thought advisable to enlist volunteers from
France ; a number of these were m/ans de Pari*, or
the vagrant youth of the capital. French and natives
together formed a regiment, the tilth of the line, and
soon displayed extraordinary prowess in tne expeditions
and sieges.
44 In 1833 the number of companies was fixed at 1
ten?eight entirely French, two native; but each of
the latter received twelve French soldiers. The officers
were altogether French. Lamoriciere was ap- |
pointed to the command, with the grade of chef de (
battullion. The Oriental costume, now a special
characteristic, was adopted with modifications suited
to summer tuid winter service. Ike officers retained i
their European uniform, wearing, however, occa- ; t
sionally the warm rod cap which the Turks call ; t
. fez.
"In 1835, by Royal ordinance, the regiment was j 1
made to < .nsist of two battalions, of six companies ' i
e.-^ch, which might be increased to ten. The Zouaves a
proved the most efficient troops at the siege of Con- I t
stautine, so memorable in the French Algerian an- [
nals. They were constantly recruited with French | t
soldiery, so as to bo kept in full number and perfect 1
preparation. When Marshal Bugeaud appeared in (
Algiers in 1841 he soon perceived their superiority, !
and employed them in various warfare, particularly I
that of the mountains. By a Royal ordinance of that c
year they were increased to three battalions, with a
complete staff. Natives could be admitted into any 1
one company alone of each battalion; and they were
few, enough only to countenance the name anddis- (
tinct uniform of the corps. The mixture of the two t
races was not found satisfactory in the results ; they I
contracted each other's bad rather than good qual- t
ities. The soldiers in Algeria had a two-fold duty, ; c
fighting and working: the Arabs would not handle \
the pickagc and spade ; the Christian would have
suffered in their estimation if so employed while t
they were comrades. It was deemed advisable to <
create, under the name of Native Sharp Shooters, special
infantry corps, officered in part only by
Pi*i?nf?lmiL>n. These battalions, commanded by vet- <
erun colonel* verged in the Arabic, now domonstrate i
in the Crimen that they are worthy juniors of the
Zouaves. The primary corps is still recruited with >
veteran or tried soldiers habituated to all kinds of j
hardship and danger, and of management in provi- ;
ding themselves with necessaries and comforts in campaigns,
and under whatever circumstances. In n
1K-VJ a new organization took place; they were increased
to three regiments of three battallions each :
afterwards they were armed with rifles : they now
handle the Minie with dreadful effect. The names
of Lamoriciere. Redeau. Changarnier, t'avaignac,
, t'anr.ibert, Ihc ijuet. are the list of their leader-' at
different times."
Kansas Territory.
From tlie course events have taken, the Kansas
<|iiestiou is deriving additional interest, and the '
belief is rendered stronger that the great issue be,
tween the sections is to be precipitated upon us at
an unexpected moment. The press and people of the j
Xorth are working themselves up to a fury of excite- i
meat, and the feeling at the .South is daily becoming 1
more and more firm and decided. The latest item is
from .Ma.-sachusetts, and informs us that a preamble
and resolutious were submitted in the lower House
of the Legislature, discussing verv spirited!v the ;
' inva-ton of Kansas by the Mi souriar..-, ami calling upon
the executive of Missouri t< prevent a repetition

Our Indian Affairs. 1
Within the last few weeks, the conduct of our Indian
relations has changed somewhat for the bettor. a
and we have hopes that a new state of affairs will be
brought about, and peace and security he restored to
our territory. The change we allude to is the friendly
demonstration now made by the Mescalero Apa
ches. who have, of late, sent in a deputation* to '
Agent Steek, and asked for peace. The reason they n
give is. that their had chiefs, who were hostile to the
whites, have been killed, and the balance of the tribe l'
; arc unanimously in favor of making a treaty and ^
1 living on good terms with the people of the terri- !l
' tory. c'
j This! so far. looks very well, and we sincerely |
hope they are in earnest in their desire for peace.? "
! We presume, however, that the recegt losses thov ! u
j have met with, has had more to do with their present :l1
I friendly disposition than any strong desire for peace: ' ~(
! bllt if it answers the same i.n.ls i* is nil - .11.. -t- t.
j With the opening ol* the new year, a strong current j
| of success set in our favor, au?l in all our encounter*
I with the Indians the troops have be? n successful.? ri
! In the first instance, the gallant affair of Lieut. Stur- g:s.
in pursuit of the party who committeil the <!eprelations
atGalisteo. had a very beneficial effect upon
these Indians, and taught them a severe lesson.
They lost several men, and had taken front them all
J the animals they had stolen at Galisteo. , T
In the same month Gen. Garland sent an expedi- yi
tion. under Gapt. Hwell, into the Mescalero countr), i er
which penetrated into the very heart of the tribe, cc
and surprised them in their stronghold. The Indians pi
J turned out in force and fought tLe troops, but they ra
were practically whipped, with the loss of some
1 twenty warriors, two of whom were There1
suit of the expedition was highly successful, and ev- 1
' erything was accomplished that could have been expected.
The third check and severe lesson they received
was in their attack upon the grazing camp of
(.'apt. Kwell. Fifteen Indians, in the middle of the
night, fell upon three dragoons asleep in their tent, ba
and the latter, alter a very severe tight, succeeded in *h
defeating and driving them off. with the 1< ss of four
or five wounded, three of whom, we learn, have since P*'
died. ' elImmediately
after this affair, the Indians canie in
and begged for peace. In these, and all other en- fir
counters with the savages, the officers and men of
our array have behaved themselves in the handsom- er:
est manner. The Commanding General has conducted
his military operations with great energy, and foi
deserves credit for the efforts he had made to afford
protection to all our frontiers. If the Superintendent dii
of Indian Affairs had the requisite instructions, he
would immediately proceed to hold a treaty with the
Mescaleros, and thus have them secured from fur
tlier trouble ; but at present his bands are tied and V
be can do nothing. ' cei
The condition of the other Indians lias not changed.
The Navajoes are at pence, and are quietly awaiting W<
the proposed treaty with them. The Utahsand Jica- Lo
rillus arc still hostile, and seem not disposed to make pri
terras until they are well chastised. An expedition j
of near six hundred men is now in their country, Ot
and we may shortly expect to hear of active hostili- 10
ties between them and our troops. We have not
heard of the Gila Apaches committing any depreda- cei
tioas, since they were guilty of the ungenerous act of
stealing the horse of their own agent. At preseut im
such is our relations with the Indians of the territo1

Military Operations in New Mexico. hoi
The mail from New Mexico arrived yesterday. In in
another column we have given such items of news as hTn
the Santa Fe Gazette contains. But we have -seen wil
letters of a later date from the military stations,
which give a good many details of the amy opera- \ i
ions, and show thit quite a brisk war in going od in
hat region.
On the 10th ultimo, the two companies under Col.
?auntleroy, met ninety of the Utahs and Apaches,
rell armed and mounted, in the Chow-atch Pass:?
ind in the running engagement which followed for
wo miles, killed live Utahs. Two of Adam's com>any
of dragoons were slightly wounded. Next day
hey came up with the Apaches, who retreated in two
>odies?one underConcha and the other under ffoso.
)f these six were killed, and some prisoners taken.?
S'one of the American force was hurt. In all, eleven
ndians were killed, two men and a woman and a
?.?i "m horses captured.
:hil>i were taken prisoners,
The command had returned to Fort Massachusetts
>ut expected to go to Grand Kivor on the loth instant.
On the 22df as Kit Carson and Lieutenant Mugrnler,
and Captain Williams' company were leaving
he I'unche Pass, they discovered a party of three
.."talis in the distance. /They were followed?one of
hem was wounded, and another killed, and the other
raptured by Lieutenant Magrnder, who fired at and
founded hi in slightly.
Tlie command, including the battallion of volununder
Colonel St. Vrain. was to recruit for 1 d
lays at Fort Massachusetts, and tlien proceed in a
eeoud expedition against the Utahs.
Another letter states, that the attack upon Kwell's
Iragoons?an account of which is given in our exracts
from the Santa Fe Gazette?was made by
Mexicans from Manzana, and not by Indians. The)
vere followed by Lieut. Moore, and traced to Ma?i:ana
next day, beyon?7 which place the trail did not
to. After that time, the Alcalde's son died of a gun
ihot wound, and this led to the conclusion that the
ittackiug party were Mexicans.

Cotto/i.?Iu our last weekly report of the Cotton
larket wo stated that the advices from Liverpool,
y the Africa to the 14 th April, hud come to hand
lie previous day, and that their effect on the market
ad been to fix prices firm in the position they had
ssumed in the curly part of the week, viz: 717/ 01
ents.
The week now under review opcneil with the same
ood feeling ami active demand, and so steady and
niforiH has been its character, both as regards price
nd demand, that we find, after the nm>t careful
irutiny into the week's transactions, we are unable
i make the least change in our scale of quotations,
nl are therefore compelled to continue them, as wo
(cl confident they are as near the present ruling
ites as it is possible to have them, viz: lnf? r>,r 7 I

fnere wa< no material change in the cotton market

ate, without any appearance of giving way in pris.
and the quotations given in our last weekly rc>rt
may bo taken as a fair criterion of yesterday's
