Hawthorne, L>. D., In the Opora XIouso, Atlanta, On., on Sunday afternoon, 8th lust., Atlanta Constitution. DeGive'sOpera House was packed from pit to dome yesterday afternoon to hear the lecture on temperance by Rev J. B. Hawthorne. Long before the appointed hour the house was filled and fifteen hundred or two thousand people were turned away unable to gain admission to the building. ? It is estimated that fully three thousand people heard the address. The house was called to order by Rev. T. B. Kendall, who delivered a short and appropriate prayer. The great congrega? tion then joiued iu singing, after which some announcements were made. Dr. Hawthorne then arose and spoke as fol? lows : This grand gathering of the friends of virtue is under the auspices of Atlanta's virtuous women. There is no safer, brighter, happier place for man than that in which the power of Christian womanhood is supreme. Who doubts that it is better to be here to-day in council with these women whose hearts throb in sympathy with all that is pure and lovely and divine than in sotno club room where the enemies of prohibition have met to concoct their schemes to perpetuate the dominion of the worst enemy that truth ever had, that virtue ever had, that man ever had? I am not here to indulge in any idle flattery of woman, the occasion is too solemn and too momentous. It is an old slander that to please a woman, you have only to make her pleased with herself. That may be true of some giddy, silly, empty headed, empty hearted, butterfly of fashion, but it was never true of a wo? man. There are females who are not women. Some one has said that women are the poetry of the world, that is true, but in a deeper sense tban be meant to express; they are the poetry of the world, but in the same sense that the stars are the poetry of Heaven. Clear, light giving and harmonious, they are the terrestial planets that rule the destinies of mankind. I believe that it was Lara er tine's remark, that there is a woman at the beginning of every great thing; she was at the beginning of that kingdom which brings peace on earth and good will to men; she has been conspicuous in every grand epoch of that kingdom's progress; she has been at the beginning of every great social reform; she stood by the cross of Christ when every man, save one, had forsaken it, and since then, with a martyr's faith and a hero's courage she has stood by everything that has blessed and uplifted humanity. When the tem? perance movement was in its cradle she stood over it, smiled upon it, caressed and nursed it. For the possibilities of this hour in the prohibition cause we are mostly indebted to woman; she has stood by it and supported it with her prayers and tears and toils when men were in? different and there was no morning star to tell of coming day. It was base treason in George Eliott to say "that woman's hopes are woven of sunbeams, so that they are not annihilat? ed by a shadow." Of her own hopes it may have been true, but the assertion is a cruel libel upon the characters of the thousands and millions of brave women, who have persevered in the path of duty, when men fainted and sank down in utter despair. It is said to be a peculiarity of women that they poke the fire at the top, but I think these whisky rings are begin? ning to wake up to the fact, that the women of this land have learned to poke the prohibition fire at the bottom. If they stir their husbands, brothers and beaux as profoundly as they have stirred me, we shall have a moral conflagration, in which the whole kingdom of whisky shall pass away, and "like the baseless fabric of a vision, leave not a rack behind." It is an old German proverb that "one hair of a woman's head draws like a bell rope," but I ttll you, that bell ropes and even iron cables are but cobwebs in comparison with the cords with which the women of Atlanta will draw in this conflict. If they don't drag their cow? ardly husbands and brothers down, who are perched upon the fence, it will be because there is not enough of substance in them to make a fastening for a rope. The Chinese say that "a woman's sword is with her tongue." That is true and in a cause like this in which we are engaged to-day she never lets it rust. It was a favorite saying of Dr. Adam Clark that in every great moral contest one good intelligent talking woman is a match for seven and a half men, but before this campaign is over the friends of the dog? gery will be willing to give us fifty of such talking men as they have for one of our brave, dauntless, God iuspired wo? men. I am not prepared to go as far as the French proverb and say that "what a woman wills God wills," but I will say that there is no community on earth in which a cause worthy of success has ever failed to the support of which woman brought an undivided mind and heart. If these wives, mothers and daughters will be true to themselves, true to their native iustinct, true to those divine convictions which lie in the great deep of every virtuous woman's heart, as sure as a righteous God reigns in Heaven and administers his government over the world, the sun of November 25th will go down upon Atlanta redeemed. This is the Lord's day, and I feel sure that we are gathered here in the interest of the Lord's work. The very founda? tion of our blessed Christianity is moral? ity, and the question before us is a great moral question. It is one which touches the very marrow of right and wrong, and any religion which ignores such a ques? tion is not worth having. Any pulpit thpt is afraid to discuss it is not worthy of the respect of brave and honest men. Is it not marvellous how zealous these Christian men have become all at once for tho purity and sanctity of the pulpit? They are not too pious to buy votes. They are uot too pious to bribe a poor negro to register three times a day. They are not too pious to keep their backdoors open on Sunday and sell liquor in violation of the laws of God and man, but they are shocked, they are horrified when a minister of Christ stands up in the pulpit on the holy Sabbath day and urges the people iu the name of God and "humanity to exterminate the worst enemy that religion and the Sab? bath ever had. The liquor traffic imposes great bur? dens and hardships upon society and especially upon the poorer classes. That being true, it is wrong, and ought to be put down. Recently a vast procession of laboring men marched through the streets of Chicago behind the banner on which was written, "our children cry for bread." My friends, that inscription was true. In these cities of our land, there are thousands of children, the offspring of honest laborers, who cry for bread. I have lived in three of the largest cities of America, and I have seen with my own eyes, half-fed and half-clad children by the thousand. I have seeo hundreds of uursing mothers shivering from cold, and wasting away for the lack of nutri? tious food. I have seen this oven in homes where both husband and wife toiled all the day long and far into the night to provide for the family. Now, what is the explanation of this destitution? It is to be found in a number of well-known facta, but the main lact. is that every year fourtccu hundred million dollars worth of grain, raised in these United States, is destroy? ed by the men who make and sell liquor. Think of it, my philanthropic friends Think of it ye who profess to love your' brother maa. Think of it, ye who profess to believe in and practice pure and undented religion. America's chil? dren, America's women cry for bread, and yet fourteen hundred million dollar's worth of the bread that God gives to the country is destroyed, and worse than destroyed every year. "Our children cry for bread." Stop your distilleries and breweries, let the bounteous harvest with which God an? nually blesses our country flow into le? gitimate channels, and while the world stands it will never be said again of the children of American laborers that they cry for bread. Bread enough and to spare, will be within the reach of every man upon our soil who is willing to work eight hours a day. Suppose there was a great store bouse in Atlanta, large enough to contain fourteen hundred million dollars worth of grain, and that the grain should be brought from the four quarters of our land and deposited there. Then suppose, that the six hundred thousand men in this republic who are engaged in the liquor trade should band themselves together, march down upon us, surround that great store-house and burn it to ashes. What would you call tbem ? Saints. Good citizens. Patriots. Would you rise up and say, "these are the men we should send to congress ? From these men let us choose our governors, our legislators, our mayors, our councilmeu, our aldermen, our sheriffs and our tax receivers. No, you would call them vandals and fiends. Every man among us, who has the blood of a patriot in his viens would rend the air with a cry for war. Our wives and mothers and daugh? ters and'sisters would call us to arms, and in less than three months an army would be raised strong enough to capture and bring to the bar of justice every man who bad taken part in the burning of the nation's bread. My countrymen, the liquor men of this land have done worse than burned the nation's bread They have not only destroyed our bread, but with it they have destroyed millions of human lives; they have filled your asylums with pauper children, crowded your prisouB with criminals, painted your streets with blood, and draped your homes in mourning. No less a periodical than the London Times has recently said : "The liquor traffic produces more idleness, crime, want and misery, than all other causes put together ;" and one of the wisest men of the English parlia? ment declares that "if we add together all the miseries generated in our time by war, famine and pestilence, the three great scourges of mankind, they do not exceed those which spring from the traffic in strong drink." Yet we are asked to believe that the men who are doing this mischief and bringing all of this woe upon our country and our race, are good citizens, patriotic men, good enough to belong to the church, good enough to be vestrymen, deacons, stew? ards and elders, good enough to have control of our city governments, and our legislatures. We are asked to go to the polls on the 25th of November and by exercise of the solemn right of suffrage sanction the crimes which they have committed against God, humanity and country, and declare that they shall go on in their works of destroying the nation's dread, and of adding to the nation's pov? erty wretchedness and woe. Women of Atlanta, what response do you make to this monstrous proposition ? On the 25tb day of this month, the day that shall be remembered in the years to come as the most solemn epoch in Atlan? ta's history, will you lay your soft, pure hands on husbands, sons and brothers and say : "Go forth to day and stand by the rum fiend, and give him liberty for two years more to corrupt and debauch and destroy?" Or will you rise up in the majesty of true womanhood, aud bid them in God's name to go forth and strike down the demon and thrust him back into the black hell from whence he came ? If Chicago and New York should be burned down to-morrow, the material loss would not be equal to that which the liquor dealers inflict upon, this nation every year; and yet, we are asked to be? lieve that the nefarious business in which these men are engaged is indis? pensable to Atlanta's material prosperity. Could you conceive of a greater insult to our common sense. Again and again poor Ireland has been stricken with terrible famines. To what has it been due ? Not to a deficiency of grain, potatoes and fruit, but to their destruction in distilleries and breweries. Ireland became poor because she con? verted the products of her labor and soil into liquor, and then drank down the liquor, aud so destroyed her capital. Her distillers and brewers made pau? pers by the thousand ; but wbat did they do with their pauperH? Take care of them? Feed them and clothe them? No, they call upon the outside world and especially upon America to take the burden from their bauds. Whisky has made three millions of American paupers within the last five years. Who takes care of them ? The men who made them puupers? No, they turn tbem over to the State and to Christian Charity. You who are honest and virtuous have the bill to pay. And yet we are asked lo believe that the men who lay the burdens upou us are indispensable to Atlanta's prosperity. We are asked to go to the polls on the 25th of November and vote to these men the privilege of going on in their work of multiplying drunkards and orphans and pauperism and starvation and crime. Mothers and daughters of Atlanta, can you look God iu the face and say that we lo whom the ballot belongs ought to do it? It would be nothing more than simple justice to make the whisky traffic provide for the pauperism it has produced, but if we should do that; if we should levy a tux upon the business sufficient to sup? port those whom it has reduced to pover? ty and wrechedness, iu less than two years the liquor traffic would be numbered amoug the things that were. No man could afford to engage in it. Year by year these traders in iniquity increase our burdens and multiply our woes. Year by year the vampires get deeper into our blood. Year by year these ulcers eat deeper into our flesh ; yet we are asked to believe that we cannot have material prosperity without them and to go to the polls and vote them permission to go on with their work. Mothers aud maidens, of Georgia, we turn to you for couusel. Shall we yield to their demands ? I believe that every drop of the pure blood in your veins answers, "No." I am persuaded that if Georgia's virtuous women had the settlement of this ques? tion, tho whisky ring would be buried beyond the reach of any resurrection arm, and epitaphed with every execration that purity and honesty can heap upon uncleanness and corruption. Six hundred thousand men in these United States are engaged either in the making or selling of liquors. Patriots, Ehilanthropists, think of that. Six undred thousand men engaged in turn? ing our food into a poison that makes wives widows, children orphans and men devils. Six thousand men engaged in making loafers, tramps, dead-beats, luna? tics, idiots, thieves and assassins. It is an indisputed and undisputable principle of political economy that "every person who produces nothing beneficial to society is virtually n pau? per." I beg you to mark tho words, "Every person who produces nothing beneficial to society is virtually a pau? per." What are tho doggery keepers of Atlanta producing that 13 beneficial to Bociety ? Will not some Solomon of the anti-prohibition party, some man who in wisdom towers above his fellows?will not some sage like Mr. "Mark Well," arise and tell us what the keepers of the dirty dens of Decatur street are produc? ing that is beneficial to Atlanta society. If any one is over so fortunate as to make the discovery let him come to me, and I promise him a notoriety such as no Georgian has ever had. If they are not producing something that is beneficial to society, then according to the law which I have just quoted, we must class them as paupers, and in this republic there are six hundred thousand of these paupers to sup? port. They produce nothing that is beneficial to society; but that is not all. If they were only a class of paupers we could feel very kindly towards them. If they were only paupers, we could tolerate them as wo do other paupers. I have seen the poor tramp who was perfectly harmless. He disturbed nobody's prop? erty and nobody's peace. But who will say that the class of paupers which we are dealing with to day are harmless ? Will Mr. Mark Well say it? Will Mr. Julius Brown say it? I think not. If all the world were a book it would not contain space enough to chronicle the mischief which these whisky men have done. And yet the citizens of Atlanta and of Fulton County are asked to believe that they cannot get along with? out theae vampires. They are asked to go to the polls iu the approaching elec? tion and ?ay that they shall be protected and supported in their ruinous work. Daughters of Georgia, ye who wear the white flower of innocence and purity, could we offer any greater insult to your feelings, than to charge you with giving sympathy to such a cause ? Would not such an indignity turn your blood into liquid fire? But if you abolish the liquor traffic how will you get revenue sufficient to support the government? Every man, I suppose, has his ideal statesman. Mine is the peerless man who stands at. the head of tho grand liberal party of Great Britain. His is that mountain majesty of worth, which looks forth into the sun's face like Alpine snow?imperisha bly pure. When I am supported in my views on any question by the wisdom of William E. Gladstone, let no man call me fanatic or madcap. When the English brewers came to him and said, "If you interfere with our business you will have a fright? ful deficiency in the government treasury to provide for," he looked them calmly in the face and replied: "Gentlemen, you need not give yourselves any trouble about tHo revenue. The question of revenue must never stand in the way of needed reform. With a sober popula? tion, not wasting their earnings, I shall kuow where to obtain the revenue." Uh that such words were "writ where stars are lit;" and for such a man no throne is too high aud no empire too vast. "The question of revenue must never stand in tho way of heeded reform." Put over against these grand words the pitiful political philosophy of the anti prohibitionist of Atlanta|: "We can't afford to reform, because it will diminish our revenue." Fellow citizens, will you lake the wisdom of William E. Gladstone or the folly of Mr. Mark Well? The suppressiou of vice and lawless? ness and crimes, the lifting up of the nation in morals, is more important than a full treasury. That is what the great statesman means. Is he. right? Every man who believes in God and moral government knows that he is right. But what say these statesmen who have espoused the cause of Atlanta's whisky ring? "We cannot afford to purify the nation at the expense of the nation's treasury. Sobriety, chastity, honesty and virtue are of less value to a people." These are not their words, but this is exactly what they mean. Do you believe them ? No, you can never do that until your natural instincts are dead aud tbe last traces of God's image have faded from your soul. Yet this is what we are asked to believe. This is what we are asked to say on November 25th. Let men who are willing to barter their man "hood say it, but God helping me I never will. I desire the material prosperity of my country, but let that prosperity rest upon tbe solid granite of moral intelli? gence. Let us have a full treasury, but when it is full let us be able to say, "There is not a dirty shilling in it." These seutiments, we are told by a cer? tain gentleman of our city, were trans? ported to this country upon the "May? flower." If he is correct in his statement, then, to my dying day will I hallow the memory of that dear old ship. I would uot give one such man as she bore over uutraveled seas to the shores of this Western world for a whole legion of your modern beer suckers and whisky bloats. But, says the great English commoner, "with asobor population not wasting their earnings, I shall know where to obtain the revenue." He means that a virtuous, industrious aud economical people will never find it hard to raise a revenue sufficient to defray the expenses of the govornmout. Is be correct? Is it not to the material advantage of any people to be sober and virtuous? Will not such a people have more from which to raise u revenue than a community in which idiers, drunkards and deadbeats abound ? Has the God of Heaveu made U3and put us into a world where civil government cannot be supported without encourag? ing vice aud crime? To this hideous, hateful, damnable doctrine, we are asked by the champions of the anti-prohibition cause to commit ourselves. Can we do I it? No, not till our judgments have fled I to brutish boasts and we have lost our reason. If these dens of vice should be closed, and tbe people of Atlanta are not more prosperous, happy aud contented two years heuce than they arc to-day, then the Bible is not true, and God himself is a myth. Or, if there be a God, aud he has made the material prosperity of nations and communities of meu to depend upon the prevalence of drunken? ness, debauchery and crime, he is a mon? ster, and deserves to be hated. The executive committee of the prohi? bition parly is made up of men whose ve? racity is unimpeachnd and unimpeachable ?meu upon whoso record no stain can be found, and who would choose death rather than dishonor. These meu have carefully aud conscientiously gathered from the villages, towns and cities of our State, whore prohibition has been tried, all the information which is needed to form a correct opinion as to the effects of prohibition upon Atlanta's material prosperity. After calmly weighing all the facts which they have collected, they are prepared, as honest, patriotic God fearing men, to say to this, community: "Prohibition will not barm, but greatly improve your material interest." I am not surprised that the words of Sacred Writ have been perverteJ to the base purposes of a whisky ring, for it has always been a favored trick of the devil to quote scripture in defense of hi3 doings. He did that when he stood with our Christ on the mountain. What an answer did he receive? "Get thee behind me, Satan," and so will I say to his moderu imitators. It is true that Christ made wine and drank it. It is true that Paul advised Timothy to "take a little for the stomach's sake;" but it was wine aud not a villiannus, poisonous counterfoit. If the liquor traffic were limited to the sale of such a beverage there would be no demand for prohibition ; but, where your doggery men sell one bottle of the unadulterated juice of the grape, they sell a thousand gallons of whisky that never saw a distillery, aud that contained poisons which lay the foundation for mcurable diseases. With a huudrei dollars worth of poisonous chemicals there can be made fifty barrels of just such whisky as is sold in the average barroom of Atlanta. When a man's brain and blood are fired with this infernal stuff he is ready for infernal deeds. Who wonders, then, that a learned aud distinguished jurist should say, "Nine-tenths of the crimes of this country are traceable to whisky." Would the peoplo of this city vote to liceuse a gambling house? No. They would bury beneath their bitterest ex? ecrations the man who should dare to in? sult them with a proposition so base. But to-day they are asked by a godless whisky ring to perpetuate a traffic, in comparison with which gambling, even in its worst forms, is angelic innocence. Shall we grant their request? That is the question which we are about to. de? cide. Christian women of Atlanta, bow would you have us vote ? You need not reply, for I know what your answer is. I know something of the depth and in? tensity of your convictions. I know what you are ready to do and suffer in this sacred cause. You are ready not only to petition the men of Atlanta to BE LOYAL TO THE BIGHT, but if it would make your petition more potential, you would get upon your knees and write it with your own heart's blood. In the days of the American revolu? tion Thomas Paine wrote those immor? tal words: "Theso are the times which nry men's souls." No greater blessing could come to this community than the crisis through which she is now passing. ]'n this whirlwind of agitation men will he sifted, and we shall know what they ?,re. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian Christians, "The fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is." During the next twenty days God will baptize Atlanta in fire. Your men of wood, hay and stubble will be consumed, but your true men will abide the ordeal, and on the evening of the 25th day of November they will come forth unscathed aud with beatific glory on their faces. There are men iu this city who will never soeak to me again - on accouut of my position on this question, but the silence of their lips will be a grander tribute to my conduct than the blast of a thousand brazen trumpets. There are certain elements of society whose opposition and malignity I always court when en? gaged in a contest for truth. It is the furnace heat in which tho iron that is in me is converted into Damascus steel. Let the anvils ring and the hammers beat. They shape the anchors of my hopes, make me stronger for duty, and more meet for the heritage of glory that awaits me up yonder? "Where the Stars dazzle, And the Angels sing." There are MERCHANTS IN THIS CITY wiao have threatened to discharge their clerks if they vote the prohibition ticket. Let them do it, and the hissing iron of public scorn and indignation will brand thorn as tyrants and enemies of virtue. Let them do it, and the brave men whom they discharge shall have more than broad enough, and besides a badge of honor more precious than silver and gold. In one of our committee meetings a minister of the gospel arose and said, that he had been waited upon and ad? monished not to join the crusade against whisky. Has it come to this? So be it. The angel of martyrdom is brother to this angel of victory. A minister of Christ driven from his pu pit by the kuklux klans of an iniqui? tous whisky despotism would kindle a fire that would blaze to heaven and illu? mine all Atlanta and all Georgia for years to come. "The blood of the saints is the seed of the church," and one drop of prohibition blood shed in this contest would spring into a harvest of truth, and virtue, and glory such as Atlanta never saw. "Strike me," said a Massachusetts constable, "and yon strike the common? wealth of Massachusetts." And I say to those who havo ranged themselves around THE BLACK FLAG OF THE BUM FIEXL. Strike any man who wears the white ribbon of prohibition, and you strike the lovers of truth, right, liberty and recti? tude everywhere in this broad land from ocean to ocean and from the lakes to the gulf. B.eroes of the grandest chivalry the world ever saw, stand your ground. Lift high your royal banner, aud never, yield to fear. We shall not fight our battle alone. The vision of the prophet floats before me. The everlasting gates are lifted up, and I can scarcely see for the ivings that flash. The chariots and horsemen of the Lord God Almighty are descending to join us. "We are compassed about with a great crowd of witnesses." Our doting mothers, our virtuous wives and our innocent childreu, gaze upon us with eager eyes and lougiug hearts. "Humanity with all its fears With all its hopes of future years, ' Hangs, breathless on our fate." The white robed bands in yonder world beyond the sun have climbed the ever? lasting hills to watch the fortunes of our cause. Oh ! ye white plumed heroes of the cross, "Sound tho tocsin for the fray ! Shout tho war cry, lead the way." Siezc the monster tyrant by the throat. Blot the era of oppression out. Lead a universal freedom in. At the close of Dr. Hawthorne's speech, which was frequently applauded most heartily, there were loud calls for Judge Lochraue, who was sitting on the stage. Judge Lochraue said he had been one of the men in Atlanta who thought prohi? bition would be detrimental to the inter? ests of the city. But after hearing the eloquent sermons by Dr. Hawthorne and studying the question closoly, he had de? cided that prohibition would be to the best interests of the city aud everybody concerned. The judge then went ou aud made a stroug appeal to the people to vo:e for prohibition. As soon as Judge Lochraue had fin? ished, Judge Emory Speer was most vigorously called for and rcspouded. He said he folt that he would be false to his ancestors, false to his pious father and mother if when asked on such a question he did not give bis advice. His in? fluence was for temperance and his advice was that tho traffic be blotted from At? lanta. He thought it would be the best thing for Atlanta financially, morally and iin every other way. Beside that there :ame in the great question of right aud wrong. When a question of right was involved material matters should no', be considered. He appealed to the people and especially to the ladies to do all in their power lo carry the election. The meeting was one of the most re? markable ever seen in Atlanta. ? Female car conductors are common object* in the towns of Chili.

A Now Title of Horror from Unfortunate Edgofield. (Sjrtcial Dispatch to Hetcs und Courier.) Edgeiteld, November 18.?The old County of Edgofield seems somehow to bo under a dark aud bloody ban. While thirty-one of its citizens are in jail awaiting trial for the murder of Cul i breath?while the double murder in? volved iu that case is still undor investi? gation?the Courthouse is appalled this morning at the news of a triple tragedy, in which the blood of three of the best citizens is spilled and an old man and his two sons hurried off into eternity by the hand of the assassin. At uoon to day a white ronn, named Corley, aud a negro, named Charles Brooks, galloped iuto the town with the news of this most horrible crime. The victims are Edward Pressley, a white mau, who is over eighty years of age, and his two sons Charles and Edward, aged about twenty-six and thirty years respectively. The murderer is Robert Jones, also white, who married the grand-daughter of Pressley and who lives on the farm with them. The scene of the tragedy is about eight miles west of the Courthouse. The representative of the News and Courier, upon hearing of the occurrence, at once Bet out to investigate it and athered the following details of the orrible affair: Jones, the murderer, it j tppears, came here from Georgia several years ago and married Mr. Pressley's grand-daughter. The Pressleys rent some land in the neighborhood, a portion of which was occupied by Jones, who, however, paid no rent for it. On Tues? day evening Charles Presley went to Jones's house and told him that he would have to vacate the land as he and his brother could not afford to pay the rent for him. To-day about 11 o'clock Jones entered the field where old Press ley and his sons Charles and Edward were ploughing. A colored man who lives near the scene of the murder states that he saw Jones go up to Charles Press? loy and, without any words, raise a double-barrelled guu to his shoulder aud empty the contents of both barrels into the body of his victim. He then turned and walked off in the direction of the woods. Edward Pressley, the brother of the murdered man, putting down his plough, started to pursue the murderer of bis brother. Jones waited until he came up and, then taking a knife, stabbed Lim in the right side and ripped the knife entirely across bis chest, kill? ing him almost instantly. In tho mean? time old Pressley was in the field trying to bold his soil's plough horse which bad been frightened at the souud of the firing. Jones deliberately reloaded his gun, ap? proached the old mau and shot him dead. He then went home, mounted his horse and rode off. John Pressley, the only remaining son, was in the house at the time and came out after hearing the. firing, Only to find his father and his two brothers lying dead in the field. A messenger was dispatched to the Court? house to get out a warrant. The Press ley's have the reputation of being re? spectable, quiet and orderly people, tho eldest son, John, having served through the war with bravery. Jones came here about six years ago from Georgia and settled in the County. His sisters are married here, one of them being the wife of Mr. Parkman, one of the defend? ants iu the Culbreath case. There is the strangest sequel to this horrible affair, however. About 2 o'clock this afternoon a short, thick set many attired in an ordinary homespun suit, entered the village, carrying on his shoulder a double-barrelled shotgun. He went to the postoffice, left his gun with a man in there, and then slowly and deliberately walked on to the jail, which is situated uexl to the Courthouse, aud which has a front yard, railed in by an ordinary' iron railing. "That's j Jones," said some one, and as the news of the murder had been known for some time a crowd speedily followed Jones. He applied to the negro turnkey, who opened the gate, and entered the place aud gave himself up. He was followed into the jail by a miscellaneous crowd, but no one made auy attempt to injure bim. Upon entering the jail he remarked to some of the prisoners who knew him that be had killed three of the best men in the County, but that he was obliged to do it. At this point his relative inter? posed aud advised him to say nothing more, and he obeyed the injunction. The murder is very freely discussed ou the street. Some men speak of it with deprecation, and fully realize that a fresh horror, coming so fast upon the heels of the Hammond-Culbreath horror, is a staggering blow to the good name and prosperity of the County, but as a general thing the matter is talked of quite coolly and as a matter of not more thau ordinary interest. The tragedy, it is true, is one that might happen in auy community, but the people of Edgefield, who have an in? terest iu the patriotic old County, can't help but feel that this is a heavy blow. The inquest will be held to-morrow. ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE TRAGEDY. Johnston's, November IS.?Several gentlemen have just arrived here from Edgofield bringing the astounding intel? ligence that Mr. Edward Pressley and two of his grown sous, Edward and Charles, were killed to-day by Robert Jones. Jones killed the old gentleman and one of the sons with a double-barrel shotgun, and then killed the other son with a pocket knife. The difficulty arose about the sowing of a pieco of land iu oats. It seems that Mr. Jones and Mr. Pressloy and the sons had bought the land together. Jones bad paid his part on the land, the others bad not, and so the rights of the parties who had not paid up were brought into questiou. Mr. Pressloy was an old man of 80 years. He leaves an invalid wife. Mr. Jones claims that he did the killing iu self-de? fence ; that they entered the field while ho was at work and would have beaten him to death had he net killed them. He immediately went to tho sheriff at Edgefield and surrendered himself to save himself, he says, from being lynched. The killing took place about three miles west of Edgefield Courthouse. Remedy for Lockjaw. Let any one who has au attack of lock? jaw take a small quantity of turpentine, warm it and pour it on the wound,, r.o matter where the wound is, and relief will follow in less than a minute. Noth? ing better can be applied to a severe cut or bruise than cold turpentine; if. will give certain relief almost, instantly. Turpentine is almost a certain remedy for croup.

Portland, Me., November 10.?An evening paper publisher a sensational story based ou the alleged relurn to life of a young man after he was laid in hi.3 grave. Fourteen months ago Joseph Dyer, twenty years old, was thrown from a wagon and received injuries from which he died, as was supposed Ho was buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Young Dyer left a mother and father, and was engaged to be married to a girl who is now employed in a family in this city. Some weeks ago young Dyer's mother and the young lady received a mysterious hint that it would be wel! to discard mourning dret-ses and bonnets, for Joseph was probably not dead after all and'might be expected to come back any day. Acting on this advice the women gave up wearing black. Some days ago suspicion concerning Joseph's death became so strong that the grave in Evergreen Cemetery was opened. There was the identical coffin in which Joseph had been buried, but there were no signs of the body in it. The corpse had been removed, but in what manner it was impossible to tell. There being no necessity for keeping an empty coffin buried, young Dyer's par? ents took the coffin home with them. A day or two ago Mrs. Dyer stood by the coffin relating the circumstances, as far as she knew them, to a neighbor, when the door opened aud Joseph ap? peared alive and well, saying: "Don't open the coffin, mother, for here I am." Then ensued a remarkable scene. The mother threw herself into the arms of her resurrected son and the joy of the family knew no bounds. The young lady to whom Dyer was engaged was sum? moned and the couple renewed their promises of love. Naturally enough the first question asked after tue first joyful exclamations were over, was: "How did you come to life ?" Young Dyer remembers nothing of being put in a coffin and buried alive. The first he recollects since the accident happened on Portland Bridge is being with friends who treated him well. It is related that some young doctors, said to belong in Brooklyu, dug up the body for the purposes of dissection. The fact that young Dyer was the victim of an accident made his body more desirable for medical uses than if he had been diseased. When the doctors came to operate on the body they discovered signs of life. They immediately set to work to bringing the young man to his senses, and after a time succeeded. It was long before he began to give evidence of complete recovery, aud the students were afraid he might die in earnest on their hands. Gradually he got well, and the circumstances of his strange burial and resurrection were told to him. It is understood that the young mau is re? ticent about where he has been and what he has been doing since his recovery. This is not considered strange, as the medical men who got possession of his body in bo questionable a manner would hardly care to have their names known. Youug Dyer is now about his ordinary farm business and is apparently undis? turbed by having gone through the forms of death and burial and having had so narrow an escape from being smothered in his grave._ Conduct in Church. The congregation who build a church, build it and continue to regard it as the house of God. It is, then, a place where the greatest deference, respect and rever ence are due. It does not matter whether you are a professed Christian, indifferent to religion, or an avowed infidel; when you are in a house belonging to persons who regard it as the house of God, this respect is due. A person is bound by the laws of civility to refrain from acting in your house in a way which it is known you regard as improper. So you are bound to refrain from conduct regarded as improper in tho houses of others. It is not a question as to how much respect you have for religion. A polite man, a man of refined sentiments, will not scoff at or ridicule a neighbor's religious belief in that neighbor's house. The reviler aud scoffer have lost the instincts of po? liteness and reverence. While in church, then, we should be respectful aud rever? ent, attentive to the services, preserving the utmost silence, avoiding whispering, laughing, staring or making a noise with the hands or feet. It is ill-mannered to be late at church. If one is unavoidably late it is better to take a seat as near the door as possible. But if not late, and the seats in the front are not occupied, respectful decorum re? quires that a back seat shall not be taken. This rule is especially applicable to young people. Its observance shows a desire to pay respectful attention to the services. It is tho height of rudeness to turn around in your seat to gaze at auy one, to watch the choir, to watcb anxiously to sec who is coming in, to give critical glances at people's clothes, or to look over the congregation to see the cause of a disturbing noise. A person should never leave church until the services are over, except in some case of emergency. The practice of leaving the audience room while the service is in progress, or while it is draw? ing to a close, is justly regarded as offen? sive. Common politeness to the preach? er, a courteous regard for the rights of the audience, the commou instincts of civility, all demand that this offence shall be omitted. If you are visiting a church different in belief from your own, or one for whose ceremony you have but little respect, you should nevertheless pay the utmost re? spect to the services, and conform re? spectfully to all the observances of the - congregation, i. e., kneel, sit and rise as the congregation is accustomed to do. By all means never permit a contemptu? ous srail'ikpr remark to indicate that a religious Observance strikes you as gro? tesque or peculiar. This rule should be carefully regarded, no matter where ycu are, in whatever religious assembly alike in the temple of the Christian, the Buddhist, the Moslem, or the Hindoo. A geutleman should remove his hat upon entering the door of the church. The practice that rude boys(V) have,of waiting on the steps or at the door of a church, for the crowd to pass out, can not be too severely condemned. No gen? tleman will engage in it. ? "John, did you go around and ask how old Mrs. Jones was this morning, as I told you to do last night?" "Yes, sir." "Well, what was the result?'' ',Sbe said that, seeing as how you had the impudence to ask how old she was, she'd no objection to telling von she was 74." ?
