E. B. MUI?RAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. 7, 1879. We hope the discussion which we are about to enter upon in some portions of this Couuty relative to the subscription to the Savannah Valley Eailroad will be free from personalities or bitterness. There is no argument in abuse, and neither party should resort to it. The question for consideration is simply whether it will be profitable ibr us to subscribe as proposed* If it will, we should do it. If it will not, we should not do it. Then, to decide this problem, let us present the arguments for our re? spective sides respectfully and in the clearest manner possible, after which each side should give a respectful and candid consideration to the arguments of the other, without passion or abuse. The IkTELUGenceb is unqualifiedly in iiivor of the subscription, but we are ? perfectly willing to accord a full oppor? tunity for discussion to both sides, and therefore we invite any who are opposed to subscription to present their views, if they be so inclined, through our columns. ltllSONAUTIES AND PHOSPHATES. The Beaufort Crescent seems to be on the rampage over the phosphate ques? tion, and is enlisted for the war against any aspirant for official position who dares believe in or advocate the forma? tion of chartered companies to dig or mine the phosphatic deposits in our nav? igable streams and marsh lands. This goes so tar with our contemporary as to induce him to forget his usual courtesy, and simply because it has been reported that Col. Lipscomb is to bo a candidate for Governor and Gen. Pope a candidate for Attorney General, the Crescent says: ? Well, Capt. Lipscomb is a granger of the 32d degree, and perhaps Y. J. Pope has been promised a neat little berth for his speech for the phosphate monopolists in 1877. What strange bed fellows poli? tics make. This V. J. Pope was one of the twain employed by the State to resist the payment of the fraudulent bonds. For this he and Mettz are heavily fed to help the Attorney General. But he voluntarily raised bis voice in defense of the Phosphate Monopoly that grinds the people under as oppressive an extortion. Oh, Consistency, thou art a jewel. We suppose when he fell from grace in one position he made up in piety to the other, and of course his reward is in the security felt by all saint3 in future re? wards. Now this is rather a rough way in which to ?peak of a gentleman who has given no further offense than simply en? tertaining a different view as to the best course to manage a certain species of State property. Men ought to be able to differ on such questions, and to submit their differences to their fellow-citizens on the arguments which they- are able to submit on their respective sides. Those who are acquainted with Gen. Pope know that he is a sincere and pure gen? tleman, whese views are matured in ac? cordance with sincere convictions, and this should protect him from'such un? called for attacks as our Beaufort con? temporary has seen fit to make upon him. In regard to the phosphate question, we must confess that we have noted the dif? ferences of the advocates of restricted rights and those of general rights with much interest, and, after hearing both sides, we believe that neither of them is right. In our opinion the State should utilize its convict labor to dig these de? posits, and thereby reap the profit over which these contending parties are fight? ing. We hope to see some such plan as this presented to the nest session of the Legislature, and, if it is done, we have no doubt that both parties will bury the hatchet long enough to unite in opposing it. The State, however, should control the phosphates which belong to her, and should reap the profits of working them. THE ENGLISH MISSION. U. S. Minister Welsh at the Court of St. James has resigned, and his resigna? tion has been accepted by the State De? partment. This opens up a new scram? ble for the Engiish Mission, for which there arc numerous contestants. A let? ter from Washington, under date of Au? gust 1st, says: It seems to be pretty well settled that Pennsylvania is not to have the vacant mission to England. The reason as? signed is that it is hard to find any one from that State who is rich enough to enable him to maintain himself in the place, and who, at the same time, is law? yer enough to make hfm competent to haudle the very delicate question of the North American fisheries, which is about to be opened up again by our govern? ment, in accordance with the recommen? dations of the Edmunds resolution, pass? ed in the executive session of the Senate last winter. It is understood that Secre? tary Evarts intends spreading himself, as it were, on this fishery business, with the idea of making it the great feature of his administration of the department of State. If he can succeed in making a settlement favorable to our government ?such a settlement as will in some way atone for the grievance we have from the payment of the exorbitant Halifax award of ?0,500,000?he thinks he will have done for the country as great a thing as did his predecessor, Mr. Fish, when he settled the Alabama claims. To accomplish all this he must have a minister in England who is as well up in international law and diplomacy as he is himself, or as he thiuks he is. And the troublo with him now is to find such a man. He does not think the man he is looking for can be found among the lie publican politicians of Pennsylvania, and he will of necessity have to.go north of that State. It is intimated that Secretary Evarts has already made up his mind to appoiut Mr. Stoughton to the position?that this was really the un? derstanding between them when the lat? ter resigned the mission to Russia. Stoughton has the reputation of being one of the best lawyers at the New York bar, and is a great favorite with Mr. Evarts. The President, it seems, does not share Mr. Evarts' admiration for Mr. Stoughton, and would rather he be not selected. He is said to look with favor . on the proposition to make a transfer of either Professor Andrew D. White from Berlin or Mr. Kasson from Vienna. Both were 3aid to be accomplished in diplomacy'and.learned in the law. The names of ex-Senatpss Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, arid ;Howe, of Wisconsin, have also been suggested. It is proposed to appease Pennsylvania by giving the Russian mission to Mr. Grow. This nission used to be a favorite with the Vennsylvanians, it having been filled by ex-Senator Cameron during a portion of Lincoln's administration, by ex-Governor Curtin and by Mr. Geo. H. Bokcr during the administration of Grant. All of Ihe Southern States ought to combine in the passage of a law prevent? ing speculation in futures in cotton. Of course this would only prohibit citizens of the States enacting euch iaws from participating in this gambling operation, but it would save to this section a large amount of money every year. In the first place these speculations in futures to a very large extent control the price of cotton, greatly to tho detriment of the farmer, whoso crop is bought and cold before it is made, and the price is there? by regulated in a measure by other causes than supply and demand. In ad? dition to tliis reason for the prohibition may also be mentioned the fact that the Southern men who go into this brunch d1 speculation are as a otess the loseis. Northern capital combines and frequent? ly causes the forfeiture of contracts, en? tailing heavy losses upon those who have dealings with them. It is asserted, by those in position to kuow, that Southern men lose annually about $45,000,000 in this way. It should be stopped, and if the Southern States would combine in appropriate legislation it could be brought speedily to an end. The Irish World puts up a strong cate? gorical argument on the financial ques? tion, as follows: "It Is now over six months since the return of hard money was ushered in amid the loud jubilations of the opponents of the greenback. What has been the history of these six months? Has the condition of labor improved ? Are the people better cloth? ed, better fed, better housed than they were this time last year ? Is labor better paid, better employed ? It is lnrdly necessary to ask these questions In the presence of the widespread distress that pervades the ranks of industry, and it is only tho brazen effrontery of Jay Gould's organ that dares assert that resumption has brought relief to the country." Congressman Burrows expresses his financial views in a candid and safe man? ner. As he probably knows nothing about finance, he does himself credit by not attempting it, and is excusable for judging others by his own standard. Taken all together we do not know that he is far wrong when he says: ''To-day the best thing that could happen to the financial interest and the business inter? ests would be for Congress to pass a law at its very next session to punish with death any member of Congress that would make a speech on finance for the next twenty years." The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, in a note to the Louisville Democrat, gives expression to hiR sublime egotism in the following words: "I have not 'lived to repudiate, abhor or condemn' any political principles ad? vocated by nie. I never did espouse or advocate the policy of Stile secession from the Union. The right of secession I never questioned, and have defended with all the power I could command, but my judgment was very decided against its policy. My mind on these subjects has undergone no change and is not likely to undergo any. If any person wishes to know what I think was decided by 'the war between tho States,' I can only refer such inquirer to the last chap? ter of the second volume of my work upon that subject." SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. Gleanings from our State Exchanges. Abbeville Pi ess and Banner: Gen. Le Duc, commissioner of agriculture, was the guest of the Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken last week, and spent one night with our townsman, Mr. W. Joel Smith. The General expressed himself as highly {leased with this section of the country, t was Gen. LeDuc's purpose to visit Col. James ?. Calhoun and see his tea farm, but unfortunately he was quite sick on Friday night and returned to Cokesbury on Saturday, leaving the same day for Washington.Mr. O. R. Bourne has discovered platinum on his Robinson place. He is corresponding with the great Mr. Edison on the subject. Edison is anxious to find platinum in largo quan? tities. He is prepared to spend twenty thousand dollars in the search. We hope he will send his money to Abbeville County, and that he may find plenty of platinum to make his electric burner.-. Abbeville Medium: All the lower win? dows in the colored Methodist Church have been covered with green curtains, and several night meetings are held eve? ry week with the curtains down. This may mean temperance or religion or ma? sonry, but it suggests politics more strongly than anything else to a suspi? cious mind.Tho county is umsually healthy aud the doctors complain of a perfect dearth of cases. A few cases of fever of the average type are being treat? ed in various parts of the county, but we are free from anything like an epidemic, and so we hope to remain.The rail? road track at this place has been put in fine repair. The old timbers have been removed and several carloads of oak tics have been laid down. Under Receiver Conner's administration the road is be? ing put in a good condition along the ' whole line. If freights could be reduced j and the passenger rates placed at three i cents a mile the road would be a good in ! stitution with all its faults.The chick? en trade this season has been the largest we have ever known and the streets have been full of all sorts and sizes. Barmvell /Sentinel: Apropos of the late protracted heated term, Mrs. Dr. Ha good relates the following: A duck which she had setting abandoned her nest from the supposed excessive heat. About a week subsequently Mrs. Hagood happened to notice the nest in pass? ing, and to her surprise there rested eleven little ducklings with heads erect. The temperature was sufficiently high naturally toconsummate the old duck's de? sign.Barnwell County is healthier up to this time by far than for several years past.Crops throughout the county (except in two or three sections where the drought whs of six weeks' duration,) are generully good. The late rains were worth thousands of dollars to this county. The crops may be considered safe, and from present indications no cry of bread will go up from this land. The planters will nave corn to sell and some to keep. SpartanburgHerald: Whooping cough is prevailing among children of the town aud in various sections of the county. After the first of September all cotton sold in Spartanburg will be weighed by regular weighers appointed by the Town Council, at ten cents each per bale. Western corn is retailing from the stores at 80 cents. Good sound country corn would bring that price at thin time. Oats 12 to 20 cents per dozen, 40 cents per bushel. Fodder $1 25 to $1 50. Rock Hill Herald: Mr. C. M. Green has lendered his resignation as a member of the House of Representatives of York County. Hon. J. C. Shcppard, Speaker of the House will in^ short time order an elec? tion to fill the vacancy.The Debating Society met on Monday night and argu? ed the question as to the propriety of the Democrats renominating Tilden for the Presidency. Several speeches, marked with more or le?3 of force and fervency, were made on both sides. The ques? tion was decided in favor of the affirma? tive. Darlington Newt}' Mr, tieoigc W.

Our planters all appear hopeful.Our municipal tax this year is only half of what it was last year. Happy Georgetown! Lancaster Ledger: Two colored men, with imperfect tools, secured in two days ?9 worth of gold from the Johnson mine. This mine is being worked on a small scale, and is said to be the richest in the county. Walhalla Courier: Large quantities of new cross-ties are being gotten and plac? ed alone the Blue Ridge Railroad from Walhalla to Anderson, One hour's time between Walhalla and Anderson could be saved if the road-bed of this road was put in a first-class condition as it ought to be. Two hours and ten min? utes is the time allowed for ruuuing be? tween these two points, a distauce of thirty-four miles. Beaufort Sea Island Kcics: An effort is about being made to obtain Executive clemency in favor of George Gary, who is now awaiting execution for murder on the 29th of August.Mistakes will happen, it is said, in the best regulated family. The town authorities at Port Royal disinfected their town with plaster of Paris.The British bark raclolus, Capt. Clark, arrived in Beaufort thirty one days out from Bahia, Brazil, in bal? last. The captain made application to be allowed, as he had a clean bill of health, to discharge his ballast at one of the docks in town, but this, after adviso ment with the board of health, the mu? nicipal authorities refused. Cheraw News: Thefir*t depot on the Cheraw and Salisbury Railroad will be at Braswell's, fourteen miles from Cheraw. There will be only three stations between Cheraw and Wadesboro'.New flour from North Carolina was hauled in wag? ons to this place for sale a few days ago. .The prospect for a good cotton crop in this section is better than it has been for years. The yield of small grain was enormous. Colleton Democrat: We think the management ot the South Carolina Rail? road by Receiver Fisher is most excel? lent, and if those most interested would keep him at its head after it passes out of his hands as Receiver, wo think the road would soon become valuable property in? stead of dead capital as it now is. Mr. Fisher is a first-class business man, and understands the management of railroads thoroughly. Laurcns Herald: Two old colored ser? vants?Adam and Chloe Garlington? man and wife, died near this place last Sunday, aged nearly 100 years?the for? mer 90 and the latter a few years young? er. This old couple were owned for a number of years by the late John Gar? lington, and were freed as his property at the close of the war. They died with? in a few hours of each other?the man at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the wo? man at the same hour on the evening of the same day.As far as reported the crop of the county foots up as follows, as nearly we can approximate the figures: Wheat, about 24,000 bushels; oats, something over 12,000 bushels. The small grain we hardly suppose the above figures rep? resent the lull crop by at least one third. Marlboro' Planter: Strange to say, that notwithstanding the long drought, the cotton crop is simply magnificent. Corn on the river is a complete failure. Six? ty bushels oats to the acre, and twenty four of wheat, iB what one of our lawyers says he garnered off his farm, besides the pickings in other places. Another says he gathered fourteen wagon loads of oats from one acre. Newberry Nacs: Col. Wm. Fair tells us he threshed this season upwards of 15,000 bushels of oats and 5,000 bushels of wheat, besides a large quantity of rye and barley. And that, too, when there were so many threshers in the field! There must be a plenty of oats and wheat somewhere in the county. Orangeburg Times: Mr. Irvin A. Till died at his residence iu Orangeburg, on Saturday, of septiciemia, a disease of blood poison, brought on or aggravated by a hair fastening iu his throat while trimming one of his horses. Orangeburg Democrat: Mr. W. R. Da? vis, near Fort Motte, while trying to ride an unbroken mule, on Tuesday last, was thrown and severely injured. His thigh is badly fractured, and may require am? putation. Mr. Davis is about 55 years of age. Yorkville Enquirer: There is a probabil? ity that the Yorkville gas works will be put into operation before a great while. M. J. T. Eichberg, of Atlanta, a practi? cal man, is now here for the purpose of inspecting the works, and entertaining propositions looking to Reviving them. During the rain and thunder storm last Thursday afternoon, the lightning struck the barn of Dr. A. I. Barron, in town, killing his horse and setting lire to his buggy, which was standing near. The Exodus ra LaUREXS.?A cor? respondent of the Charleston Newt and Courier from Laurcns, S. C, under date of July 29, says: The first open meeting of the colored people on the subject of the Western exodus was held at Arnold's Mills last Saturday. Fifteen black men addressed the meeting. The orators al? most unanimously advised that they should move West, locate and improve farms of their own, and be independent of the whites. Only one speaker urged them to be satisfied with their present homes. The keynote was the declara? tion that there will be no peace in the South for the black man, and the sooner they get away the better it would be for their race. One or two were rather vio? lent and denunciatory in their remarks. The old and settled negroes appear to be satisfied. The young men are discon? tented, and some go so far as to say they are going to move if they die on the road. Poor deluded race! Little do they think about the hardships and de? privations of settling a new country, and of the capital and energy it will take to build it up. I see plainly some of our white tenants are urging on the negroes to leave, thinking if they can get them out of their way that the whites will be able to make their own terms in renting the lands. They contend that the ne? groes now have the choice of renting the best farms in the county. The jetties.?Although there is lit I tie public attention attracted to this work, it still goes on, and progress is be? ing steadily made. About 5,000 feet, or very nearly one half of the apron of the north jetty, has been laid, which com? pletes nearly one-fifth of the labor of laying the mattresses. The original line has been slightly altered to avoid a troublesome shoal. In one. place where the United States coast survey of 1$78 gives the depth at three and a half feet, nothing less than six feet was found, the change indicating that the jetties are even now beginning to do their work. The sand is banking on the mattresses (irmly and well, and the appearances are all encouraging.? Chitrlcxton New? and Courier. kably good this year, and ?

Noon.?Six new cases were reported to die board of health this niortiiuu', aud two deaths have occurred since last night. Miss Eudora Athv, d?ttghief of Chief of Police Atiiy, died" at Raleigh, ten miles, northeast of Memphis, this morning. Her mother's condition is not the most favorable. Benjamin Adams, whose deatli is also recorded, had a typical case of fever last year, which explodes the theo? ry of immunity from a second attack. Col. Cameron has quietly collected all the arms and ammunition from the gun stores and placed them in the arsenal at the Station house. The last passenger train on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad left last night. No mails were received by that route this morning. Memphis, August 2.?11 p. m.?Eight more cases were reported to the board of health this afternoon. Among the num? ber were Ed. Moon and John Waters. Five additional deaths have occurred: Mary Mulbrandon, Mary Lanahan, Mar? shal Haskins and Charles Forbes, white, and Julian Richmond, colored. The to? tal number of deaths according to the official announcement of the board of health for the week ending at six o'clock to-night was 4-1, deaths from yellow fever 2C, from other causes 18. It was the purpose of the president to declare the fever epidemic, as the number of deaths from this disease exceed those from all other causes combined, but as the death rate for the week shows a material de? crease from that of the previous week, he withholds that declaration for the present. Last week the total number of deaths was 71, from yellow fever 34, from other causes 37. The physicians are sanguine that the maximum death rate has been reached and that a decrease in the number of deaths can be expected. A drenching rain fell this afternoon. New York, August 2.?Noon?Mr. F. S. Davis, of Memphis, now here, has received the following from Dr. R. W. Mitchell of the National Board of Health: "Memphis, August 1.?To F. S. Davis: I have just arrived from Nash? ville. Nine cases and four deaths were reported here yesterday. I do not look for a large increase in the number of cases in any one day. If we can get the people into camps we may stop it entire? ly. The colored people are giving trou? ble. They do not want to go into camps. We will need help before long to feed the hungry. It will not be safe to return here before cold weather. "R. W. Mitchell." A private dispatch from Memphis to? day reports 13 new cases and 4 deaths since yesterday. Memphis, August 4?Noon.?Five new cases of fever reported to the board of health this morniug. One death has occurred, James Downey. The Rev. Father Doyle is reported sick this morn? ing. Father Fahey continues to improve. The Rev. Father Wm. Walsh, who arriv? ed from New York, has resumed control of Camp Father Matthew, and begun active work among those of his faith. The weather is very warm and sultry. Memphis, August 4?11 p. in.?Fif? teen new cases in all were reported to the board of health to-day. Among them Absalom Boyd and wife, Fred and Robt. Hollander, Mrs. Geo. Getz and son, Ca? tharine Larkin, Michael and Kate Holly. One additional death has occurred, the Rev. Father Doyle, a Catholic priest who came to Memphis last December to assume charge of St. Patrick's Church, at the corner of DeSoto aud Linden streets. He had taken quite an active part in the work of moving his people out of the City to Camp Father Matthew. He was pros? trated with fever last Thursday and was progressing favorably until yesterday af? ternoon, when during tho temporary absence of his nurse he arose from his bed, and was found by the attending physician working at his desk. A re? lapse was tho result of this indiscretion, which resulted in death at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The deceased was 30 years old, aud formerly located at Jackson, Tenn. The first mail from the East via the Louisville and Nashville Railway ar? rived to-night at 7 o'clock. New Oiileaxs, August 4.?The cases of Mrs. Howell and sou of 119 Washing? ton street, were to-day, reported by the board of health as yellow fever. The patients arc improving. Winning the First Round. The merchants have won the first round in the contest against the railroad. The agent has been notified to ship cot? ton from Wiunsboro' to Columbia for seventy-nine cents a bale, and to Char? lotte for one dollar and sixty-two cents. These are precisely the rates for the dis? tance on the basis of estimate by weight, and they arc much less than Wiunsboro' has heretofore enjoyed. As the charge is simply made by the bale, without specifying whether it is by weight or by measurement, we are at loss to understand whether the road is gracefully yielding the position and abandoning the cubic foot device, or whether it is merely mak? ing a temporary concession to avoid a collision with the State railroad commis? sioner, as it was threatened with an injuuetion if it persisted in its course. We do not propose to crow over the matter, for the issue has not been de? cided in any way. Until the courts or the Legislature shall have declared cot? ton a weighty article the merchants will be iu the power of the road, which can make its arbitrary charges in the midst of the cottou season, when the courts cannot intervene in time to prevent seri? ous loss. The issue should be brought to a final determination for all time in? deed, we have little doubt that the Leg? islature will be asked to inquire into the matter and grant relief from oppression. Unless the railroad pays up the damages demanded in the present suit by the merchants the case will be pushed for? ward vigorously. A charge of ten cents a hale, if passed on measurement, is as bad as two dollras. The principle is wrong, and it should be resisted just :is our forefathers resisted the imposition of a nominal stamp tax. South Carolina is now in a transition state. The question is whether the peo? ple or the corporations shall rule. The latter are making gradual encroachments in the hope that in time they will obtain the mastery they enjoy in other States. The CharloUe Road, fortunately, made the mistake of stepping a little too hard on the people's toes, and thus awakening them to a sense of their danger. They should rise in their might and throttle the corporations at once. Railroads are useful servants, but most dangerous mas? ters.? Wiunsboro' Kens. ? One day last week a passenger on board one of the harbor steamboats of New York, which was then carrying sev? en hundred passengers, rushed up from below shouting "Fire!" There was i panic for a few moments, but the officers of the boat soon secured quiet, reassured the passengers, and took the person who raised the alarm into custody. There had been no fire, nor anything to justify the alarm. The cry was uttered to give thieves an opportunity to rob the j>:'.s scngers. He was taken before a police court and given the extreme penalty the law allows in such ca?cs?he was fined ten dollars. The New York Herald, no? ticing the affitir, remarks that the next person who repeats the ollbnce "will go overboard. We are stating now merely a fact. We do not propose justifying the drowning even of such a wretch as this Stuhr ; hut we are quite certain that the man who ventures to repeat his trick will not live to pay a fine of ten dollars." This the Herald calls "a fair warning." ? Dr. A. M. F?rster, a prominent cit? izen of Georgetown, died on Thursday last. WELL SAID.?Mr. Henry C. Lodge, of Massachusetts, uttered the following patriotic sentiments to a meeting in Boston, which shows that the doctrine of States' rights ia not ??o dead in the Day State us the Radicals imagine. He said: The Union (las never in greater peril than in 1814, when New England threat? ened secession unless the Administration and ruling party yielded to her demands. With characteristic caution, she stayed her uplifted hand and waited a little longer, but no one then doubted either the meaning or the danger of her atti? tude. If the blow had fallen the Union would have been dashed in pieces, with? out hope of recovery. States' rights be? long to no party and to no State. They are as universal as nationality, and that they are so is proof of their value. But they go much deeper than their name implies. They involve a principle as old as the race itself. This principle was born in the forests of Germany, is re? corded in the pages of Tacitus, and*came with the wild Teutonic tribes across the Channel to Britain more than a thousand years ago. It is the great Anglo-Saxon principle of local self-government, and is the safe-guard of our liberties now, as it has ever been in the past. Without it there is no health in us. It should be more jealously watched than any other, because the tendency in large communi? ties is always towards centralization. We see illustrations of this tendency every day in the gr?wiug habit of both parties to judge every question according to its expediency, and not according to the constitutional principles, which they, as parties, are supposed to represent. There seems to be no desire anywhere to oppose a measure, simply and solely be? cause it leans more toward centralization than is warranted by the Constitution. This tendeucy is full of peril. Our Government is a system of checks and balances. Destroy one element; and the whole fabric falls. Nationality is strong and safe. Our most important duty is to protect our local rights wherever they exist, and feel as tho Colonies did when the Boston port bill passed?that the cause of one is the cause of all. Two lessons are clearly written on the pages which record the strife between the in? born love of local independence and the broader spirit of nationality created by the Constitution. One is revcr-mce for the Constitution, the other a careful maintenance of the principle of States' rights._ A Serious Rencontre.?Mr. Rich? ard Gregory and Mr. Elijah (Ring Eyed) Watson were returning from Johnston's, on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Eailrond, on Thursday last, to the residence of the former, in this county, when a quarrel ensued and they got out of the buggy, which both were riding in. Watson drew his knife and inflicted several severe wounds on Greg? ory, on his face, side and arms. Gregory drew his pistol and fired, hitting Watson in the arm. They then settled their dif? ficulties, apparently, and again entered the buggy and continued their way, and. after going a short distance, the quarrel was renewed, the parties getting out of the buggy, when Mr. Gregory, to avoid another altercation, drove off and left Watson and went to a neighbor's for the purpose of having his wounds dressed. While they were oeing dressed Watson suddenly entered the house with knife in hand- Mr. Gregory tried to close the door to prevent his entering the room in which he was in, but failed, and had to escape out of the rear door, closely pur? sued by Watson. They ran around the house several times, when Gregory made for his buggy, which was at the gate, and succeeded in getting his pistol, and fired just in time to save himself from Watson's knife, the ball striking him in the side, inflicting an ugly wound. Watson then ran, and Gregory re-entered the house and seized a gun and fired at Watson, who entered the bushes near by, but missed his mark. The wounds are not thought to be very fatal, but very painful. It is said both were drinking. Watson, last year, was arrested and com? mitted to Edgefield jail, accused of kill? ing the Booths, and was, a few months since, released on bail. Since writing the above, we learn that Watson has died.?Aihcn Review. Manufactories vs Augusta.?Au? gusta is not much given to boasting, but she has tangible evidences of her solid prosperity to show to the world. Her vast water power is being gradually utilized, and already manufactories of various descriptions line the banks of the canal.

A large waste factory on the river bank docs a thriving business. Two iron foundries are constantly busy. Three flour and grist mills, using altogether nearly six hundred thousaud bushels of grain annually, are running night and day to supply the demand tor flour and meal. An oil factory turns an immense quantity of cotton seed into oil and stock meal or fertilizers. Two ice facto? ries turn out about thirty thousand pounds of ice per day. A cotton gin manufactory has been established and ^ rapidly puttiug up gins, condensers and feeders. Three machine shops make every description of carpenter's work. These are the manufacturing enterprises in the city, and other branches of indus? try keep pace with them.?Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist. ? Ex-President Grant is to have a lit? erally royal reception in Japan. He is to be accorded honors as are bestowed only upon reigning monarchs. The British Admiral Coates, on the East India station, it is said, has put suddenly to sea from Yokohama, and taken the British minister with him, it is alleged purely out of his disinclination to fire a royal salute for the arrival of a plain American citizen. According to the New York Herald, Admiral Coates has been running away from Gen. Grant for quite a time. "He ran away from Hong Kong just be? fore Grant got there; ran away from Shanghai ag:iin, and now he leaves Yok? ohama as tho General arrives." Grant, however, can do without the admiral. He is certainly having a fine time in the far East, and in China has been treated with great distinction, entertained by Prince Rung, and granted an interview with the Tsung li-yamen, the cabinet of the Emperor. Of course he profited by this occasion to get information in regard to Chinese government methods such as may ho useful to him?in the future. The mass of the Japanese, however, it is to be recollected, are but semi-civil? ized. ? An owner of timber land in Vir? ginia, on reading in the New York Sun about the .'hiding of some human hair imbedded in the trunk of a tree, writes to say that he has made three such dis? coveries within ten years. In each in? stance the saw in his mill struck an iron spike, and around the head of the spike was found a tuft of negro hair, a little yellowed, but sound and strong, although it had been covered up in the wood from 100 to 150 years, as shown by the tree's marks of yearly growth. This gentleman has been told by aged negroes that it used to be a practice among those who believed in voudcu charms to nail sonic of the proposed victim's hair to a young tree, supposing that a diabolical spell was thus wrought. He finds the race in Virginia to this day very superstitious and given to equally strange customs. ? Mr. Julian A.

Frederick Malcho, a murderer, ven? tured from his hiding place in the woods to his home at Wilberton, Illinois. He feared the officers of the law less than he did his neighbors, who, as he knew, would like to lyuch him. Hungry and fatigued, however, he had resolved to take the risk of his visit. It was night, and, after eating a hearty meal, he lay down on a bed to sleep, first placing a loaded gun within reach, and stationing his wife at a window to keep a lookout for lynchers. He had not slept long before she awoke him to say that mount? ed men were approaching. He unhesi? tatingly shot himself through the heart. ? The last hope of fair crops in Eng? land has been destroyed during the past week by a scries of severe rain and wind storms. It is a condition of affairs totally unknown in this country that a few hours of sunshine should have a marked effect on the stock market of the nation, yet so great was the hope of fair weather for gathering the avowedly poor crops in England, that a ray of sunshine would cause a better tone in the London stock market. But now all hope is lost. The weather is cold and winter-like, and so great is the amount of rain that has fallen that thousands of acres in the midland and northern counties areailoat, destroying the hay and potatoes, and greatly damaging the wheat crop. In Germany and France the harvest pros? pects are that Russia and America will have no difficulty in disposing of all their surplus grain at excellent rates. EXECUTORS' SALE.

I have been a cotton producer and buyer of some experience, and car. safely testify that the lint from the Neblott & Goodrich Gin, with a corres? ponding yield, is as line as that of any other Gin sold in this section, with a decided dif? ference in its favor with respect to its sim? plicity of construction, durability, price and light running features. I ginned six thousand pounds of seed cotton with this Gin in one day with horse-power on a forty-saw Gin. In other words, four live hundred pound bales of cotton. J. W. DACUS.

Dear Sirs?-The GO-Saw Pratt Gin bought from you in the fall of 1877 has been thor? ough- tested since that time, and has givers entirc'satisfaction. I have no hesiuition in pronouncing the sample mude by it to be superior to that made by any Gin known to me. I have ginned as much as 350 bales of cotton?have had no repairing to do, and the Gin is now in perfect order. Its great improvement consists in its Revolving Head, which prevents cotton roll from breaking, and which completely destroys the friction produced by cotton box, there? by increasing its speed, preventing injury to saws, and the sample from being gin-cut.
