BY E. B. MURRAY & GO._ _ANDERSON, S. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1879. VOL. X1Y-NO. 48. NAPOLEON IV. Hin Hirth, Ktlucatlon um! IZarl*/ I.lie. On the 16th of March, 1856, twenty three yt.-.rs ago, the population of the city of Paria wa? at thc ?ame time pro foundly agitated and delighted. That day a son had boen born to tho Emperor and Empress of France, and a prospec tive ruler to tho French people. At six o'clock in the morning thc cannon of the Invalides announced to the yet scarcely awakened city tho tidings of the arrival of an heir to the Imperial throne. The fact, however, waa hardly known in the city until about eight o'clock. Tele graphic despatches were sent to al! the various diplomatic agencies of France on the Continent. ?.ofi^e was sent to the representatives of other Powers resident in Paris, and in thc course of tho morn ing they visited the Tuileries and left their names. Preparations were made at all the public oiliccs for illuminations and decorations. Many houses on tho Boulevards were embellished with stream ers. The flag? of England, France, Turkey and Sardinia floated united at thia moment of rejoicing as they had during the long and dreary hours of suf fering and danger. No ono visiting Paria could mistake tho temper of the people. Three years had elapsed since the mar riage of the Third Isapoleon with the young Spanish lady, wno had received but beauty and mnbition na her only dowry from her mother, the Countess de Montijo. The young Prince had an English nurse provided for him, and he remained under her charge until his seventh birthday, so that ho could speak English before ho could pronounce his own tongue, and he always spoke it with remarkable fluency and a pure accent. All through his childhood and boyhood Hie Prince Imperial had an inseparable companion in thc young Louis Connenr, son of tho Dr. Conneau who aided hie father to escape from Ham, and this lad was as good as a second tutor to the Prince. In his first teachers the young Prince was not fortunate. One began by teaching him republican doctrines. Tho next turned out to be affiliated with what wu? considered a highly dangerous community. Ho was dismissed ucfore ho had an opportunity to influence the boy's mind. Gen. Procssard was then selected by the Emperor. He was popu larly aupposed to be a military eagle, hut he proved a much tamer bird. The Prince Imperial, under thia more courtly than erudite warrior, learned a little mathematics, some Latin, less Greek, and a good deal of horsemanship and fencing. Peing fond of tho study of history, he gathered a good deal through his own efforts. He waa a quiet-mannered boy, naturally shy, and disposed to become more so by the diplomatic reserve con tinually inculcated upon him. He had, nevertheless, from his earliest childhood, a considerable amount of shrewdness, and UBed ofteu to say, "I always take off my hat to the Parisians, because they take off one's crown so easily wheu they are offended." When he v as three years old he was placed on thc, roster of the Imperial Guard. At five he was promoted to a corporalship. He was made a sergeant nt seven, and wore his sub-lieutenant's epaulet for the first time when he started for tho German war with his father. Af ter tho peace, when Napoleon III. waa released from his captivity at Wilhelm shoe, the young Prince, who had been spirited away to England at the first 1* renell defeat, was entered at the Wool wich Academy. A banquet was given in August, 1875, to a few of the older adherents of the Napoleonic dynasty, while tho Empress ana her Bon were en joying a holiday at the Castle Arenen herg, and the young Prince addressed his friends with considerable tact and political ability in tho following words : "Should the people some day recall me to power, I will force all honest men to rally round the Empire by erasing from the French language the words 'Exile' and 'Proscription.' If it could only bc known what lessons I have learned from tiie past, what resolutions I have drawn from experience of the events which passed under my own eyes, it would be seen how well I understand that I must only look backward for example and teaching, but not for objects of vengeance and bitterness. A great people is not to bo governed by hatred and revenge." The birth of tho Princo Imperial was regarded by all who wished to oe consid ered true Frenchmen as a good omen, second only in its European importance to the millennium. Thenceforth the sun of peace and prosperity waa to shine upon everything French and eve-.body who had tho surpassing happiness to be born on tiie soil of the favored uatiou. The Prince's birth was to be the panacea for ali grumbling, disaffection and discon tent: the dyuasty waa firmly established, and, as to tho future, did not his Impe rial Majesty himself presently assure all thc world that "the Empiro was peace?" It was a halcyon time for France. Time, which was rude enough to go on in France much as it did in oilier and far less favored countries, and even in a neighboring State peopled by such barba rians as tho ill-conditioned Prussians had invariably proved themselves to be Time, which would not acknowledge tho supremncy even of a Bonaparte, passed, and France, the modal nation, thc envy of tho civilized world, basked in the warm but enervating sunshine of pros perity. It is true that the country was ruled with what some few millions con sidered an iron hand; that, if a stranger, you wore watched by tho police with cat like vigilance; that, despite tho cay ex terior of every JYrenehman and tho smiling faco of overy Frenchwoman, there wcro people who, when they got you safely ensconced in their charming country houses, were prone to compare English and other institutions to tho great disparagement of tho latter. Tho young Princo was meanwhile oc cupying himself in much thc same man ner as other boys of his ago. His chris tening at Notre-Darno, on the. 15th of June, three months after his birth, was ono of the DUO?t magnificent spc?itSCi?? ever witnessed even in France. Ai. the age of ?ix months tho Princo was admitted with becoming ceremony into tho ranks of tho first regiment of Grenadiers of tho Ouard, who, as the recognized victors of tho Alma, Inker man and tho Malakoff, were thc objects of adoration. As ho grew in years thc lillie Louis, to the unfeigned delight of thc people, made public appearances in his grenadier'?i uniform ; and when, as sometimes happened, the Emperor, splen didly mounted, as he always was, placed thc boy before him on his horse, and tho troops, in endless defile, saluted fathpr. mid son, tho enthusiasm of tho populace knew no bounds. A littlo story narrated by M Dupont, apropos of the boy soldier at this period, is worth reproduction. About tho limo of his promotion by tho Emperor to tho grado of corporal, eome of the Puris newspapers, hard up for pabulum where with to feed th* gnbrmouchm, whoso mouths aro perpetually yawning for scandal, stated tnat the Emperor, in a fit of anger nt aomo net of insubordina tion committed by his son, had degraded bim by ordering bim to give up tho in signia of Iiis modest rnnk. Thc day ' alter the publication of this calumny the 1 Prince met an officer in the forest of i Fontainebleau and thus addressed him : "You read the napers, sir? They pre tend that I have been wanting in respect to my father and mother, and that the Emperor lias degraded me. That is very wrong, and all the moro wicked because it is not true. I love my parents above all. Whatever they have ordered mo to do I have never disobeyed them. 1 try to do ail that is agreeable to them ; and I assure you that I am greatly grieved that the napers have spoken so unjustly of ono who has never dono harm to any body. You will tell your comrades, will you not, that the account in tho newspa pers is the greatest falsehood?" The time was at hand when the Impe rial youth, who had not "shunned de lights," albeit ho had certainly "lived laborious days," waa to bo hurried away from his pleasant, happy boy life in Paris and St. Cloud, and to witness-indeed to some extent to take part in-that out march of Ai grande ann?e which was to end so difastrously. When tue fateful war broke out, and when all Paris was screaming farewells to the troops whose route was direct to tho Kuiserstadt, tho Emperor, compelled by the rude temper of the times to place himself at the head of his armies, took the little Prince with bini. Uefore many days Monsignor had his baptctne du feu, or, as wo say, lie "smelt powder." It was on tho famous Exercir-Plntz at St. Johann that tho first bullets of the war whistled, the firstshells hurtled through the air, and the grim, murderous rattle of the mitrailleuse was was first heard by the astonished Prus sian soldiers on the heights opposite thc Exercir-Platz. The boy who behaved sc coolly at Saarbruck above all others, re tained a vivid recollection of thoso sad days which began at Forbach and ended nt Sedan. It was, happily, not given tc him to witness tho appalling results ol tiie 1st of September. Ho had partee company with thc Emperor at the lat'Xsr'i desire, and had been taken to Mezieies from thence to Aveanes and so to Mau beuge, where he heard for tho first tim< of the overthrow and rout of the flowei of tho French army, tho capturo hy flu victorious enemy of 80,000 men and tin surrender of the Emperor to King Wil helm. "I am the King of Prussia s pris oner; send the Prince to England-Na polcon." This was the curt telegran which reached tho Prince Imperial a Maubeuge. A lew hours after its receip the boy, who bore up marvellously wei under tho heavy blow which had corni upon him, was on his way to Belgium At this time, too, the Emperor, a prison er, was at Vpry.??ru *n route to Wilhcrs shoe, little thinking that only a fev miles separated him from bia son. From Paris to Chiselhurst ! The mos daring astrologer who ever pretended t read tho Book of Destiny would neve have ventured to predict so quick nn complete a collapse of the imperial powc as that which followed Sedan. In asens the exiled family were happy enough i their beautiful Kentish home, in th adornment of which nature has beens lavish, and perhaps thc lifo of thoTui eries, St. Cloud and Versailles was bardi missed by Prince Louis Napoleon. Ho stoutly and successfully ne worked J Woolwich everybody knows; his li since he passed out of tiie great militai school is not so well understood. It wi not be amiss to sketch, although in tl briefest outline, the short career of tl Prince si nco 1870. No sooner had 1 arrived at Chiselhurst with his moth thnn he settled aown to work with tl ardor which has, at all events of la ?ears, been ene of his characteristic Iis tutor was M. Filon, who had receive his appointment some two or three yea before, when General Frossard was s' perinter.diiig his studies. The best pr fessors of mathematics and German whit London could alford were called in to a eist the youth, who was entering upi tho second stage of his eventful life. These home studies were, however, sot to be stopped. The Emperor came Chiselhurst from his captivity at W helmshire, and displayed those deinocri ic theories which never left him by sen ing his son to the classes at King's Ct lege, in order, ns tho fallen monar himself said, thnt tho boy might "brought up as ono of the peoplo, nmoi tho people." The Emperor's in linen over his son was almost absolute. Ol dient and respectful to his mother t Princo has always been, but it is pcrha not too much to say that her intluen upon his character has been practica ntl. Intellectually, Princo Louis Na, leon was better endowed thau most you men of bia age. Ho had a prolou contempt for superficial knowledge, a while among his ciders ho wns quiet, served and thoughtful, seldom spcaki except to ask for explanations or inf mation, there waa no end to Iris gay and love of fun when ho was surrounc by thoso of his own age. Like his ther, thc Prince wns a firm believer the Napoleonic star, and ho would soon think of denying his own existei ns of entertaining tho slightest dcubl tho ultimato restoration of tho Impel dynasty. Such up to the time of his leav England was thc career of the yoi Prince, who has just met so unexpec and tragic an end in Africa. Since death of the Emperor and while tin lustrious family were occupants of G den House, in England, if they v vain they might point with natural p to tho attention always given them, tho fact that while they resided nt C elhurst their goings and comings, t sayings and doings, were aa sedulo looked after by the press oi Eoglan thc movements of their own royal fan They retained there the semblance court, but although on somo and cer occasions the Empresa received, Camden House was filled with entl oatie Bonapartiste, there was litth recall tho magnificence of tho Iinpt Court, and still less to suggest the \ once of an Empress and tho heir tc throne of Franco. Ou the 27th of J mary of the present year ho sailed I Southampton for Africa. He waa commended to Lord Chelmsford a extra aide-de-camp, and wns gaze with tho local rank of captain. On 2?th of February, of tho present yea wrote to M. Uouher explaining tho tives that had led bim to rcsdvo on g to tho Zulu war, and was as follows : "MY DRAU M. ItonhF.n: lama to leave Europe, and my absence continue for somo months. I have many faithful friends in Franco fo to remain silent as to tho reasons foi departure. For ei"ht years I have England's guest I completed my cation in one of her military sch and have kept up connection witl British army by joining it on severa casions during its great manuvrcs. war Great Britain is now carrying c tho capo of Good Hope has latel sumed a much more serious aspect it had previously. I felt nnxioi watch lite operations, ami ? sail in days. In France where, thank Hu party spirit hos not extinguished military spirit, people will compre that I nm anxious to share the fat and dnngers of thoso troops among * 11 bare so many comrades. Tho ti ?hall devote in assisting in this struggle j of civilization against barbarism will uot i be lost to mo. My thoughts, whether 1 ? am near or far, will constantly turn to- | ward France. I shall watch the phases she will gradually pass through with interest and without anxiety, for I am convinced that God protects her. I j trust that during my absence the parti- ! sans of tho imperial cause will remain united and confideut, aud will continue to hold before the country tho spectacle , of a party which, faithful to its doc trines, remains constantly animated by tho most ardent patriotism. "NAPOLEON." The lin!tie of tho Cowpens. The battle-ground of the Cowpens is in Spartanburg District, about seven miles from fue town of Spartanburg, and four or fivo miles from tho North Carolina line. The surrounding country is a beau tiful and almost perfect plain, with a fine growth of tall pines/oak and chestnut. Thid was the caso fifty years ago. This growth may have been ?ll cut down now, and thc land in cultivation, for aught I know. On thc memorable 17th of Jan uary. 1781 the entire country for miles around the battle-ground was one vast untouched virgin forest. Tho inhabi tants of tho lower part of tho District had been in tho habit of driving their cattle into this part of tho country for thc purpose of grazing, and had erected pens in the neighborhood for salting and marking them. Hence the name of tho battle-ground. Tho field of battle, how ever, was about two miles from the Cow tiens; but inasmuch as there was no nearer mown place in tho neighborhood, it was called The Battle of tho Cowpens." I was shown many years siuco a map representing minutely and most satisfac torily tho scene of this signal and glori ous victory, with the order and position of tho opposing nrmies. I also had tho pleasure of having thc entire battle ground pointed out to mo by one of tho 8urvi ?ing gallant officers who comman ded in the battle. The American army, under Gen. Morgan, lind encamped thc night before the tiattlo botween the wa ters cf Suck Creek and a branch of Huck Creek, which are onlv two or three hun dred yards apart. There was, fifty years ago, u little field on either sido of tho road, where the American army had en camped that night. On tho morning of the 17th of February, 1781, about day light, Gen. Morgan drew up his little ar my ou a slight ridge extending from the head of one of these spring branches to the other. The road over which tho American army had been retreating to avoid Coi. Tarleton and the British army leads from tho upper part of Union Dis trict into North Carolina, and passes im mediately between these two branches, which at that time wero pretty well lined with cane and small reeds. The road leading from Spartanburg Court House also intersects the Union and Island Ford a few paces south of the head waters of this branch of Buck Creek. Gen. Morgan was unwilling to give battle to the enemy until ho had crossed the river into North Carolina. He was informed, however, that the militia were unwilling to pass out of the .State, and he was therefore forced to risk a battle. The enemy had been marching all night to overtake him, and was worn down. This contributed, no doubt, in some measure to Morgan's great victory. His men wore fresh and had rested all night. The South Carolina, and North Carolina mili tia, under the command of Gen. Pickens, were posted one hundred and fifty yards in advance of the Continental troops, un der the command of Col. Howard. Col. Brandon's Regiment was placed on the left of tho road, and Col. John Thomas, Jr.,' and Col Roebuck's on tho right. They were ordered not to fire till tho en emy come within proper range, to stand the enemy's fire as long as possible, and then to fall back and form a lino of battle in rear of the Continentals. The British army marched up tho road within one hundred yards of thc American lines and then deployed to the right and left with a corps of cavalry on each wing. The Americans were permitted to sheller themselves behind trees whilst tho enemy was marching on them and firing rapid ly. Several of tho old soldiers told me at the ce'.abration of tho anniversary of the Battle nearly fifty years sinco, that us many as three were very ofte? behind the sumo tree. Rome of them undertook to point out tho very trees behind which they took shelter. There was at that time no undergrowth on the battle ground. Thc British marched up, said the old eoldiera, with a terrible huzza and shout ing as if they anticipated an easy vic tory. They fired rapidly as they came, but their fire did little execution, as the militia wero protected bv tho trees. It would seem too that their firing was wide of tho mark, as I saw bullets cut out of the trees twenty feet above tho ground. The militia under Gen. Pickens fired but once. Tho enemy charged them with fixed bayonet?, which they had not, and consequently they mado rapid retreat and formed as ordered behind tho Conti nentals. But their fire did great execu tion, and the old soldiers told mc that when they went to bury the dead the next day, they found the bodies close together in a straight line clear across the battle-field. The brunt of tho battle was brav;-!. borne by Col. Howard's regulars after tl militia fell back. Three hundred of thu enemy were killed and wounded, aud five hundred of them taken prisoners. Thc remnant of Col. Tnrlcton's cavalry was pursued by Col. William Washington lineen or tweuiy unies U* i.TOUUe?ock c>, where lie was falsely informed that the enemy were out of his reach, when in fact they wero just ahead of him. Tarle ton had pressed Mr. Goudelock to go and pilot him across the Pacolett. Mrs. Goudelock was afraid that her husband might bo killed if Washington overtook tho British, and therefore said that the enemy had passed long since. Tho feel ings of a wife overcame her principles of patriotism and truth. Had the Ameri ?_i_ "_.?_".J ^jj-j- pursuit fif teen minutes longer, this remnant of the British army would have been captured. The places where the dead were buried wero distinctly to bc seen at thc celebra tion of the anniversary, to which I havo already alluded. Sundry relics of the bat tle-such us bullets, ramrods, omi bayo nets-were given to me on that occasion. I noticed that two or three of the bullets wero pewter. Lead being scarce, no doubt some of tho Whigs had converted their pewter spoons and plates into bul lets. As York District prides herself on King's Mountain, and is about to cele brate the centennial of the Battle, Spar tanburg may well havo equal pride in her Cowpens. B. F. PERRY. Saiut Souci, June 15, 1879. COMPARE.-A careful comparison of Dr. Price's Special Flavoring' Extracts willi others in tho market, will convince any person that for strength and dclica Cf of flavor, Dr. Price's is far superior. While tho other flavorings havo a tur pentiny tasto and odor, Dr. Price's is as thc fruits from which they aro made. THE TRAGEDY IX COLUMBIA. Killin); of Mr. John K. KnttUuli-Policeman 1 l(o?o ArrcktccI for Uli? .Munter-SyiiupitU of Teatlniouy before tho Coroner's iu <iue?* - Helic on nt c i on tho SI icet Itu two? u Policemen anti n llrotlier of tho : in < a-.c,l Who Was in Cliargo of n Jint tlce'a Constable. Tho following details of tho killing of Mr. John E. English in Columbia on tho night of June 22nd, and tho rencoun ter between his brother, Mr. Joseph M. English, and policeman Hose, who is charged with thc killing, a brief account of which we gave in our last insue, is ta ken from the Register of the 24th : This community was shocked yester day morning by one of the saddest occur rences that has taken place in our city for many years, nnd this was followed by what, aime uear being a most bloody af fair. About half-past 8 o'clock on Sunday night Mr. John E. English was taken to the guard hou?;- in an insensible condi tion by Policemen Hose and Daniels. Ile remained there till about daylight yesterday morning, when he was convey ed to thc Central Hotel by his broth er, Mr. J. M. English. Hero ho was cared for by his relatives and friends and physician till ho died, which oc curred in a few hours. Coroner Lowndes empaneled a jury, consisting of the following members: J. M. Poach, foreman, E. C. Crews, John Scollin, J. W. LnMotte, W. A. Illnck, F. H. Percival, J. H. Pollock, II. G. Querry, J.H. Kinard, L. C. Levin, J. A. Selby, George Randall, W. A. Reckling. The Coroner and jury proceeded lo the Central Hotel nnd began au examination al half-past 1 o'clock p. m., and contin ued in session till 8 o'clock last night, when they returned a verdict "that the aforesaid John English came *.o Iiis death from a blow on his head, inflicted by some person or persons to this jury un known." Dr. A. N. Talley mado tho post mortem examination and gavo tho following cer tiorate ; I certify that I havo this day made a pout mortem examination of the body of John English, deceased, and find that he came to his death from an injury of the brain caused by external violence. The appearance presented was that of exten sive hemorrhnge on the left side of the brain, between tho brain and ?kuli. Tho blood vessels of that part of the brain were all overloaded with blood, and the amount of clotted blood on tho brain was not loss than a teacupful. (Signed) A. N. TALLEY, M. D. Early in tho nfternoou the body of de ceased was conveyed to thc residence of his uncle, Colonel Wm. Wallnce, where bc hud made his homo while in thc city. CORONER'H INQUEST. Tho inquest was hc\ A on Monday, and a verdict was returned that thc deceased came to his death by a blow inflicted by some person unknown to thc jury. Several witnesses were examined. Fred Rice (colored) testified that he saw Rose and another policeman standing togeth er, and heard a lick and saw a man fall, whom he recognized as Mr. English. Rose bad a stick in his hand in thc act of striking him again. -Mr. English was [mt into a carl, which was driven away iy Policeman Rose. He heard Rose say he would kill Mr. English. Monroo Smith testified that either Roso or tho other policeman, Daniels, struck Mr. English with a club. Saw him spin around and fall, and saw Roso attempt to strike him again, after he fell. Also heard Rose threaten to kill Mr. Eng lish. The policemen put him in thc cart, where he was lyingdoubled up aud strang ling L. II. Embleton (white) heard a blow, and saw Policemen Rose and Daniels standing over Mr. English. Daniels said, "Don't hit him again." George Daniels (white) testified that Mr. English was lying drunk in front of Dr. Geiger's house. Afterwards Mr. English cursed Roso and collared him, when witness threw English to the ground. Wm, Hall (white) testified that lie found Mr. English lying on some hoads in thc yard of tho guardhouse. He was breath ing hard, and fell over a brick abut ment. Foster Sutto:: (colored) testified that Rose told him that Mr. English mado at him, and he hit him. In the guardhouse, Rose asked witness, in a laughing way, if English was dead. THU DIFFICULTY BETWEEN THE DE CEASED'S RROT1IER AND POLICEMAN HOSE. Yctscrday morning Captain Radcliffe, Chief of Police, appeared ut the office of Trial Justice Marshall and mado affi davit that Mr. J. M. English, the broth er of tho deceased, had threatened to shoot Policeman Rose cn sight, and ask ed for a warrant ior his arrest and to havo bim bound over to keep tho peace. Justice Marshall issued tho warrant, and di livered it to his constable, Mr. John II. Altec, tobe scrvoJ. Mr. Altee started ..o the Central Motel to arrest Mr. J. M. English. After Mr. Alteo had left the office, Justice Marshall directed Police man Rose, who was present with Police in Daniels, to go home and remain out the way till Mr. English had given bond to keep tho peace. They went out of the ollice.. but it seems from what fol lowed that Justice Marshall's advice was disregarded. Mr. Alteo met Col. Wal lace's carriage nenr the Wheel " House, containing Mr. English, Col. Wallace and the colored unver. they were on their way to Justice Marshall's ollice to take out a warrant for Policeman Rose. Mr. Alteo stopped the carriage. They invited him to ride willi them to thc of fice. He got in tho carriage, telling Mr. English that he had a warrant for his ar rest, to which Mr. English assented. Aa the carriage turned tho corner by Law Range, Policemen Rose and Daniels were standing on Peixotto's corner, and as soon as thc carriage came oppsite them the firing of pistols began. Mr. english br ing from tho curriagoand both pliccomcu firing at tho carriage. Accounts differ as to which fired first. At least fivo shots were fired altogether. No ono fired from tho carriage but Mr. English. As soon as Mr. English drew his pistol Mr. Alteo grasped the hand in win h he held it and tho driver caught the other hand. After somo struggling Mr. Eng lise succeeded in getting his hand out of the carriage, and fired till his pistol lor some reason would shoot no longer. From the appearances of tho pistol it would seem that ho fired threo times. Mr. English snys he had all tho limo re garded Mr. Daniels with especial friendly feelings, as, although ho did not know bim personally, ho had heard that Daniels had interfered and prevented Rose from striking his brother oftener, and he had been inquiring for him in or der to got a true staicmeut of tho innttcr from him; he did not know that thc po liceman with Rose wan Daniels, and he saw both policemen draw their pistols before ho drew his. Hy the limo Mr. English could fire the firsl shot tho carringo had proceeded as far as in front of Uuchman & Youmaus* ollice. Tho horso became frightened hy the firing and ran past tho Trial Justice's office, and could nut be stopped till he reached tho court house corner, half a square away. It seems almost miraculous that noone was killed, ns lhere were four portions in tho carriage. Mr. Altee fell from the carriage and was picked up tn n senseless condition and taken to Mr. Marshall's office. For some lime it was thought that he was shot and killed, but after an examination it was concluded that he was only stunned by a blow on tho head received in falling. Lalo last night, however, Ur. Turnipsoed having made a further examination, expressed the opin ion that thu contusion on bis head bad been caused by a pistol bullet grazing it. Wo were glad to "muru that he was doing very well and his wound was not consid ered set ?nus. Mr. English was arrested and rrquircd to give a bond of ?500 to keep thc peace. Policeman Hose was nlso arrested and lodged in jail on the charge of murder in killing Mr. John English, and Policeman Daniels was also required to give bond of $500 to appear before Justice Marshall next Wednesday and answer to the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. A Becond warrant was also issued against Mr. J. M. English on a similar charge. TU BEATEN ED LYNCH I NU OP POLICE MAN ROSE-TUE GOVERNOR ORDERS OUT THE MILITIA. The excitement occasion by the killing of Mr. English and thc difficulty between his brother and thc party charged with having committed tho deed was very high on Tuesday, and the City Council was informed that a party of men intend ed to take Rose from thc jail on Tuesday night mid lynch him. This information was conveyed to thc Governor by the proper authorities, when the following order '.o the military companies of Co lombia was issued by his Excellency : . EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, COLUMBIA, June 24. Choi*. Wilie Jones : Information hnving been furnished inc through tho City Council of this city that there is a strong piopability that un ef fort will bo made to night to take from the jail a prisoner named williutn Ruse by a band of armed tuon without the au thority of law, upon application of said Council you aro hereby ordered to take such steps with your company, the Gov ernor's Guards, and the Richland Volun teer Rifles, commanded by Capt. Keenan, who will report to you, as may bo neces sary to protect the jail and prevent the said prisoner from being taken thence. Be enrcful not to uso unncessnry vio lence, but you arc authorized to use all the force necessary to accomplish the end above. You will act as a posse to tho sheriff. W. D. SIMPSON, Governor and Commander-in-Chief. THE PRISONER IN NO DANGE?, AND EVERYTHING QUIET. The following from the Register of tho 2tith establishes beyond a doubt that the rumor of thc intended lynching was without foundation, and that tho friends of the murdered mau are willing that thc matter shall bc settled by thc Courts: Tuesday night the three companies of tho city, thc Bichland Volunteers, the Governor's Guards and Columbia Flying Artillery, guarded thc jail all night till daylight to prevent the lynch ing of Rose, it any such thing should be attempted. Nothing occurred during thc night to show that thero was any foundation for the rumor. Thero seems indeed to have been none. The friends of tho dcccasco deprecate any such thing. And among tho members of the compa nies who guarded the jail Tuesday night where many ot tho best friends of Mr. English and his family. Indeed, it is thought that no attempt to take Rose from tho jail of Richland County could possibly succeed. Tho sentiment of the ficoplc of this community is against all awlcssncss, and a summons from thc Sheriff for a posse would bu answered in force in a few moments. SheriiFDent yesterday expressed him self us feeling no apprehension and as having felt noun tho previous night. Col. Lipscomb, the Superintendent of tho Penitentiary, ofTered to take the pris oner to that institution and guurd him there, and thc Governor was ready to give him au order for the transfer, but Mr. Dent did not think in necessary. The military were not ordered out last night. Tho following from the Register ol Fri day shows tho feeling of the citizens of Columbia iu regard to the unfounded ru mor that lynching was contemplated : Last night passed offquietly. Nothing occurred to mar the quiet of tho city or to warrant any apprehension of n distur bance. Sheriff Dent yesterday reported to Captain Wiley Jones, commanding the Richland Battallion that no demon? stration was mndc upon tho jail, and that his prisoner was still safe in his custody, and requested him to report the fact to the Governor, which he did. Tho sentiment of the community, as gathered from the expressions of very many of our citizens, is that a very grave injustice has been done to thc people of Columbia and of Richland County as a law-abiding community by the rumors that lynching was contemplated. It is feared by some that thc military demon stration to guard the jail will give an ap pearance of importance to the matter whit .1 it does not deserve.

Tho mat ter is universally regretted. A REPUBLICAN'S RKRTCH GEN KR?L JOHNSTON.-Mr. J. M.

Prcssly, presi ding. His Charge to tho Grand Jury was short but clear and comprehensive, lu alluding to the recent summary exe cution of John J. Moore charged with thc rape and murder of Frances Heaton, Judge Freshly stated that his attention had bee-i called to tho matter by tile proclamation of the Governor and tiie nccounts given in tho papers- Hint lie knew nothing of thc guilt or innocence of Moore-that no matter what his guilt may have been it was wrong for tho peo ple to take the law in their own hands that a stop must he put tosuch proceedings -that it was his duty to call their at tention to the matter and chargo them to ferret out and bring to punishment the perpetrators of Ibo offense-that hav ing charged them with the matter the responsibility of taking action thereon rested with them and it was a solemn re sponsibility. As Judge ho could not have said less, and lintier the particular circumstances of this case he could not have said more. He discharged the del icate duly faithfully and wisely under all tho circumstances. The Grand Jury made their Present ment, an extract from which we publish, as follows : ORAN!) JUltY PRESENTMENT. In reference to the case of Miss I lea ton, to which your Honor called thc par ticular attention of the Grand Jury, we should lind it difficult to excuse ourselves if we refused tos?ate that wc havo been informed and believe that tho testimony submitted to the Jury of Inquest which wai held over her body, established the guilt of John J. Mooro as the demon in human form who outrageously murdered this young woman while flic was defend ing her virtue. This is tho greatest of all possible crimes, and too shocking to he recited in this report. Thc moral sen timents nf thu community have been so outraged that the criminal lins been seized and put to death by thc indignant citizens ol the vicinity in which this atrocious murder was committed. Tiley acted under the sudden impulso that the great end of tho law is the administra tion of simple and exact justico. The question, then, arises, has injustice been done this offender by such summary pun ishment? It is an established principle that the murderer deserves to die, and hence, in putting him to death, those cit izens havo done nothing more than n simple act of justice. Hut it may bc said that they have taken tho law inte their own hands ; und for this they should be punished. This is plausible, but it springs, perhaps, from a too coil' tracted view of expediency. That thc murderer deserves to bo put to death, ii the "law of Gotl written on the heart.' This is the supreme law; expediency is merely subordinate rule, and shoulc always give place lo tho awful dictates o justice. In pulling this murderer t( death, therefore, thoso citizens acted it obedieuce to the dictates of justice, nm merely anticipated the sentence of tin law of the land. Wo have witnessed sud manifestations in other parts of ourcoun try, and have shuddered with indcscribabl horror at thc exhibition of its terrill power. In one of the most eillightenei cities of our Union, have wo seen Icarnei men, and intelligent men, burning wit! the desire to gratify this feeling c vindictive wrath. We have seen thor seize their victims, reeking with th blood of his fellow man, and drag hil to thc stake, and there burn him to ashes Thc Judge who decided upon thc merit of tho hurtling above referred to, bel it to bc n caso of "justifiable homicide. Public opinion, snid he, is the source au fountain of nil human law; and the ac in question was a "clear expression ( mihi ic opinion." We do not admi however, that lynch-law under any cii cumstances ought to be administered though we dti not deny that there ai cases where tho criminal escapes froi ibo too great leniency of juries in capili felonies, and this is ibo overflown: source from which all lynch-law spring Vet we should struggle to preserve, eve to the last resting place of hope, th right of trial by jury, for al! look to for safety and protection. This Grar Jury is, indeed, pained to find that lawless feeling exists in any part of 01 county, but it induces them to prcsei that our penitentiary system of punis ment is not calculated to repress tl disorders of society; and we bclievo i system of punishment has to a ccrtu extent, failed in opposing sufficient r straints on the commission of crini Before this new mode, of punishment w substituted for thc old, could nny o point out a State of an equal number inhabitants, where crime was so unfi quent? It was then, the proud boast South Carolina that her jails were, 1 the greater portion of thc year, cmpl and that tuc atrocious crimes whi stained thc criminal calendars of t very States where penitentiaries h been established, seldom occurred bc Hut this condition of things has been versed, and now, we lind our jails lill with penitentiary convicts. Wo bel ic that crime has increased, wherever pe tentiaries have been established. In tho States where the system has bi adopted, old prisons have been enlarg or new prisons built.

Ai if st ni lu Hunton liy it Newapiipt-r Reporter, BOSTON, June 23. The murderer of Mrs. Hull, of New York, waa arrested hero to-night, and is now in cm-tody. His name is Chastine Cox, a copper colored negro, who was em ployed for a year and a half in the neigh borhood of thc Hull residence. He was traced by means of a set of cameo jewelry belonging to Mrs. Hull, which no dis posed of nt a pawnbroker's shop in this city. From tho pawnbroker thc officers obtained a description of thc person who pawned it, and by this description W. H. Halch, a newspaper reporter, recog nized him walking along Snawmut ave nue yesterday evening, and, aftor follow ing and speaking to him, nntiGcd the p dicers mid caused his arrest. Cox made no resistance, but wont quietly to the police station, where ho WUH searched and Mrs. Hull's watch found on his per son. He admits his guilt, and says ho lived a long time opposite Mrs. Hull's house in New York. that on the night of tho robbery bc mitered through tho lower window nr..' went up stairs to Mrs. Hull's room for tho purpose of robbery, but did not intone to kill her. The negro appears calm and indiffer ent, and gives tho details of his crime without hesitation. He says ho had a key for thc door of tho Hull house, but was nuable to mtiko it fit, and conse quently raised tho window in tho lower story and fnstcned it up so ho might readily escapo. Ho had a candi? with him. On ascending tho stairs ho heard some ono snore, and thought it was a man. He blew the candle out, walked into the room and stepped up to thu side of thc bed. Mrs. Hull awakening asked, "Who is it?" "Tho doctor," replied tho negro. She put her hand up and touched his faco. He threw her hand back, at the same time laying his own hand heavily over her mouth. He then got hold of a cologne hollie mid dashed cologne iuto tho faco of tho struggling woman, nftei which he got upon tho bcd and made n Rag of tho bcd clothing. Rho was by this time in an exlinusleu condition and he lied her in the manner in which BIH nus found in tho morning. Afterward! Cox says ho relighted a caudle and hold ing it clos.o to her face, tho cologne ig nited, which accounts for tho singing o the eyo-brows and the other burns on hoi person. Tho robbery was then commit ted, and tho robber made his escape soon leaving Nev York for Hoston. Iii repeats his statement that lie had no otb er motive than robbery. The police nu monties hero do not think there is any thing of a reckless bravado about tin negro, but on the contrary that he ii very cownrdly. He is a nativo of Pow liattnn County, Virginia, and is abou 32 yenni of age. It was hts intention tog< from hero to Providence and endeavor t< ?et a birth as cook on some foreign bourn vessel, and had it not been fur accidenta und almost intuitivo recognition of hin from tho pawnbroker's description b; Mr. Halch, of the Hoston lierai J, li" would probably havo mnde good his cs c.tpc from the country. There is nothlnj to show that ho had any confederate o accomplice. Ho will bc taken to Nov York to-morrow. How TiiK KANSAH EXODUS BBOAN. Uow did this fever start?

A telegram from Washington, dated Juno 17, fcftv?: Well informed Rcpubli cnii8 from Mississippi nay there is no question but Jefferson Davis will bc re turned to tho United States Senate ir bc lives and his disabilities are removed. All indications poiut very strongly in that direction, and ninny Democrat* from the same State do not deny that Dnvi.- will bc n candidate. They Fay that it all rests with h'm, ami that if nc is a candi date tho Mississippi Lcgislnturo cannot refuse to elect him. The friends of Mr. amusement and comfort to tho Hepubli I)a\is here feel a little soro that his pos sible election to the Senato should nflbrd cona. They say that Davis was not nu original secessionist, and that he was no moro responsible for the rebellion than any ono of n thousand Southern men who might be named, ninny of whom aro now living, mid some holding high po rtions under tho government. They al lege that Davis did no moro in support of the Confederacy than Alesander H. Stephens, tho Vice President, who ia re ceived with open arma in tho govern ment councils. Lamar, in a recent speech in the Sennte, said that Davis did no more for the success of the South ern cause than he (Lamar) did,ou)v that Davis had greater ability, but each did nil that ho could. It is said by his friends thut should he bc chosen to the Senate his courso wiP bo such as to disarm passion and criti cism ; that bo will not be in hissent three months before it will bo shown by Iiis speeches and votes that his presence is eonducivo to harmony nnd good-fellow ship between tho sections; in other words, that he will become the leader of thc moderato men from his section, and win back the respect which hcalways had in tiie North before the war. It is cited that when thc Vice President of tho Con federacy was returning to the House there were mutterings of discontent and sharp criticisms in tho North, hut that he had not been in bia seat a year before ho became ono of tho most popular of Southern men, viewed from a Northern standpoint, and that to-day no Southern Democrat has tho good will and respect of tho North to a greater degreo than Mr. Stephen*. South Carolina Cotton Hills. Au instructivo correspondence from Green vi lie, S. C., to tho New York TYMM gives us some interesting facts und figures touching our Carolina cotton factories. The correspondent, in speaking of the progress of the miiis, says : Tho chief obstado in tho way of suc c?s* was tho scarcity of competent ope ratives, but with tho aid of a* few taken from Northern mills, a sufficient number of young native wo m eu and men hnre beon taught to feed and direct the ma chines. We are told tho Piedmont Com pany's book shows tho following profits on sales for the fiscal year ending March 31,187?: New York, $0,401.58; Hoston, yarns, $10,010.64 ; Baltimore, $7,180.12; local. $24,320.04 ; all other sources, ?5, 108.4G. A visit to the several establishments within the past week elicited the follow ing interesting particulars : Tho Langley Manufacturing Company, incorporated in 1870 ; capital of $450,000. Its mill is in thc town of Langley, Aiken County, on tho Charleston and Augusta Railroad. G80 horso power; spindles 10, 880; looms 828; hands 325. Consumes monthly 450 bales of cotton, with au avcrngo production of 598,000 yards of shirting, sheeting and drilling. 'Prado brisk ; prospect! very encouraging. Glendale Mill, on Enorce River, six miles east of Spartauburg. Horsepower, nt low water, 250; spindles 5,000 ; looms 120; banda 125. Weekly consumption 40 bales of cotton, with avcrnge produc tion 50,000 yards shirtiug, sheeting, and drilling per week. Trade better than in five years. About caught up with orders. Reedy River Mill, on .ieody River, four miles from Greenville. 'Spindles 2,000; looms 48; hands 50. Averngo. production daily 2,500 yard-'sheeting and 300 pounds yarn. Capital $47,500. Trade local and very lucrative. Graniteville Milla, on Horse Creel:, near town of G rani te ville. Horso power 350 ; spindles 10,000 ; looms 300 ; hands 240. Monthly consumption 148,00 pounds cotton. Average production 300,000 yards sheeting and drilling. A short timo ago the company also purchased 2,200 acres of land, ano tho water power used by thc Vnuclause Mill, burned in 1874, and built a new mill of granite and brick v. Inch ia hoing rapidly supplied with the most npprovcu machinery, and will soon commence operations. Tho dam for this now mill ia built of granite, and measures 342 feet in length. The expenses for tho latter wero paid from surplus funds and without an increase of tho capital Btock-which is $600,000. Trade reported good for the season. Piedmont Mills ; capital, $335,000, ou Saluda River, Greenville and Columbia Railroad, about ll miles from Greenville. Spindles, 15,300; looma, 380; hands, 275. Consumes daily 18 bales of cotton, with au average of 10,000 yards of cloth and 2,800 pounds of yarn. The water power is unusually fine. It hos been estimated that a pressure of 42,000 cubic feet of water per minuto can bo cosily obtained, which would bo amply sufficient to work 100,000 spindles. Ibo company's books, on March 31. 1879, exhibited surplus as sets over all liabilities amounting to $36, 869. and $56,684 gross profits for thc pre ceding twclvo month?:. Plans havo been drawn and preparations are being mado io ?f?O? B??iber Lui??iug ?liuouc delay, which is to contain room and machinery for 15,000 moro spindles. Camperdown Mills, ou Reedy River, Greenville; capital $300,000; spindles, V?WQ ; hands, 260. Consumes weekly 10? brJ.es of cotton, with an average pro duction of 86,000 pounds of yarn. Tho mill produces a very superior yarn, much sought after in local markets. Bleaching and dyeing establishments havo boan re cently added with gratifying wsnlts. Trade repoTud satisfactory." Tho Westminster Thread Manufactory is owned by a machinist tuted Stribling and a few well-to-do farmers residing in the viciuity of Wes tminster-a small station on the Air Lino Railrord, in Oco nco County. They commenced opera tions about one year ago in a two-story wooden building, with asmaU capital. Tho machinery used is a?&wtJ as the Olcmeut attachment, which transforms Bccd cotton Into very superior thread. Various su.icrioritiea aro claimed for this invention, which are open to doubt, but nobody can disputo its labor-saving qual ities. Tho laborious task of ginning and packing the cotton after it is picked is entirely dispensed with. Tho local demand exceeds this mill's production. In addition to those already named, there are two moro-the Saluda and Batcsville- factories : tho former ls near Columbia, and the latter at Batesvllle. lexington County. They produco about tho samo quantity and quality of goods as tho Reedy River Billi. Both appear to prospor. -The church, rightly ministered, ia tho Vestibule to an immortal life.
