One of the most atrocious murders it I as over been our duty to chronicle occuivcd in this County last Saturday morning. The scene of the tragedy is in Brushy Creek Township, about one mile south of Pisgah Church, and about fifteen miles from this city. The murderer's name is J ispor Davis, a white man about 40 years of age, und his vlCtimVwas bis~ wffe, who was abont 40 years of age. As soon'asCoroner Nance heard of the tragedy he started to the place to 'hold she inquest, bat when he reached the scene Trial Justice Sitton had taken the matter in hand and was just concluding the in? quest. Mr. Sitton had not filed the pap 'S in the case with the Clerk .of Court np to Tuesday night, and we arar unable to give our readers ^ the^testimany taken by him. WVhave"conversed with several gentleman, however, who were present at the inquest, and have learned the following facts in ref? erence to the terrible crime: The murderer is familiarly known as Jap. Davis. .Abont three years ago his mind became slightly deranged, and he was Bent to the State Lunatic Asylum, where he - remained a short time and was returned Home, having.been pronounced by the Su? perintendent sound and well. Since that time he has frequently mistreated his wife and family, and. several times threatened to kill hiS'Wife. -Mrs. Davis was naturally afraid of her husband, and for sever;', months past has had very little to do wifv him; . Davis, being a lazy, worthless fellow, would^aof. support his family, and Mrs? Davis, with her five children, had to ear? lierotai.iivelihood on the farm. This she did with'considerable energy and persever? ance, and this year had a very good crop growing. Davis would occasionally come around the premises. Abont twelve days preceding the: murder he was seen there, but suddenly disappeared and was not seer, any m^oreiintil the night before-the crirdo. was enacted. , .- . Abquji one-quarter of a mile from wheixi Mrs. Davis resided lives one of $er broth? ers, a. Mr. Ben.Moore. For some tim? past, ftaririg thather brutal husband wouli tojnr?jber in some way during the nighi iime.-Mrs.- Davis, with her children, bat .been sleeping at her brother's house, where she would'be"protected." As usual she went there last Friday night, and after she had-ietrred aniwaa asleep, Davis came to the; house and was admitted. He talked with Mjr. Moore for some time, and finally asked for his wife and children. During the conversation he asked Moore to try and Induce Mrs. Davis to forgive him for his past conduct'towards her, so that they might live- peaceably together again. He " .got np and went to the bed where his wife and youngest child,were sleeping, and called the child by name. No response was had, ana^^eamernaclrto Mcorerwno"iavitefi : him togo to bed, at the., samejime.telling him that he could have a talk with Mrs, j Davis on the morrow. Davis then lay do wn. in an adjoining room, but before daylight got up and went but of the house. frjjfcoraing ? Mrs. Dalvhs lher 'befr, and, with two of hel children,, at once started for her home. Near Moore's house is a thick oak grove, and through this Mrs. Davis had to go. One of her children was walking in front of her, and the other following in the rear. When about midway of the woods the loud report .of a goorwas heard, followed by a shrill shriek from the poor woman, who turned around and was running back to her brother's house. Mrs.,.Moore also heard the shot and the_scream,%and ran out of the house to wards the sound of the report. She ran on and met Mrs. Davis, who was-in the act of lW|S}^o>Ve?) JThe fiend had fired the fetal shot" from ""ambush, without a mo? ment's ^warning, the. whole load of shot . entering the left aide of the face of the vic? tim/several -shot penetrating the eye-ball, causing death in a few minutes. Mrs; Davis never spoke a word after being shot. The Weapon us*|; was a double-barrel shot-gun, wm?-]?b?i;mnrderer had. stolen from his broth^m^w< Mr. Owens. It was loaded with|sqflu^rel-8hot and one or two slugs. As soon as the gun was fired, the murderer was^e^p^ieiceating through.-the woods. No one Saw him. ? T^ nawp of rthe terrible tragedy spread thron^h^?e^an^andmg^untry rapidly, and ifc-T*as.not long before a large crowd bad gathered at the scene of the murder. Search was!at once instituted for Davis, but he could not be found, though he had been jseen'enfchihg a Bwamp. The jury of inquest, after hearing the evidence in the case, returned a verdict that the demand came to her death from a gunshot wound, inflicted by parties un? known. As .the day passed away the people be came^mbre indignant, and parties were organized' to go and search for Davis in every direction. Threats of lynching were made, and had- the murderer been found near ..the. .scene, .he would no doubt have been tied up to .'the first limb'. These par-1 ties continued to hunt for Davis through j Sunday, but without success. -j On Monday morning, about daylight, | Davis came to the house of his nephew, i Mr. Pave Owens, near Fiercetown, and asked1. Mr. Owens to protect him from the enraged citizens. Mr. Owens sent for Mr. M. B. Williams, jr., and together they brought Davis to the city and turned him over to the Sheriff. Rumors reached the city Tuesday that the prisoner would be taken from the Jail and lynched. Sheriff Bolt was determined to protect the prisoner, and, after conferring with the Solicitor and Other officials, he sent him away to a place of safety for a few days. Messrs. Prince & andiver have been employed as counsel for Qieprisbner. There is no doubt as to the guilt of the prisioner. In fact, he does not deny the crime, but refuses to talk about it: The murdered woman was buried at Pis? gah Church on Sunday. Four of her five children are under twelve years of age. Death of an Excellent Lady. On Friday,- the 24th inst., Mrs. Sallie T. Gaillard died at the residence of her hus? band, W. H. D.~ Gaillard, Esq., in Pendle ton, after a painful illness of several weeks. Mrs. Gaillard was a daughter of the late Col. Benjamin F. Sloan, of this County, and was over sixty-two years of age at the time of her death, having been born on the 7th day of September, 1824. She was liberally educated, and was an elegant and accomplished lady. After her marriage with W. H. D. Gaillard, Esq., they resided in Pendleton, and Mrs. Gaillard was ever a leader in the various and benevolent interests of the town. Liberal in her beneficence she leaves behind her a memory filled with deeds of kindness and acts of charity. A devoted member of St Paul's Episcopal Church she was ever zealous in her efforts to con? tribute to its prosperity and welfare. Mrs. Gaillard leaves behind her husband and eight children, all of whom are grown and useful and accomplished members Jof society. She was an affectionate wife, a devoted mother, and a most estimable lady, and her circle of friends was wide and sincere. The funeral services were conducted from St. Paul's Church on Sat? urday morning, the Rector, Be v. T. F. Gadsden, officiating, before a large congre? gation of the relatives and friends of the deceased. . It was a notable fact that her husband, eight children, fifteen grand children, all of her brothers and her sister, with most of her nephews and neices, were present at the funeral, although they reside many miles apart. They have the sincere sympathy of an extensive friend? ship in their'bereavement. -Cotton?Good middliug Si cents. - Don't neglect your barley,patqh. .

All the predictions about earthquakes from scientists or non-scientists, is simply and purely guess work. In the earthquake b usiness we can only reason this far?that as we have had them, we may have them ageln, but when or where, no man know etb, or can know. So don't believe every tiling you read. On last Thursday night a barn ou tlio Widouiau placj, about lour miles south ofthe city, was burned, together with its ..contents of fodder, hay and other forago, rwhioh belonged to a negro tenaut on the 'plantation.

Although a native of Virginia, he married an excellent lady of Camden, South Carolina. You could not possibly send your boy to a better in? stitute." Messrs. C. F.

The young gen? tlemen composing this firm are full of en? ergy, and are pushing their business to its fullest extent. Their stock is complete in every department, and we are confident they can please the most fastidious in price and quality of goods. Any one who visits Anderson and fails to see-their stock, misses one of the attractions of the city. Spartanburg Spartan : "J. B.

His principal teacher is Prof. Buttman, son of the author of the celebrated Greek Gram? mar. Mr. Henneman uses the very desk on which the grammar was written. J. Scott Murray, of Anderson, is at the same house with him. He has been in Germa? ny three years, and will hardly know how to talk Anderson County English when he returns." Miss Lizzie Williams greets our read? ers in a now advertisement this week. It will* be closely read, especially by the la? dies, for she always has something new for them. Her new goods are coming in every day, and are being opened up in her new store-room. She is thoroughly posted in all the latest styles and fashions, and our lady readers should by all means consult her before making their purchases. For the present she will keep her old goods at the old stand, and close them out in bargain lots to cash purchasers. The oity was aroused Tuesday night, about half-past 10 o'clock, by the alarm of fire, which was caused by the burning of 1 a small out-house on the premises of Mr. J. L. Tribble, on North Main street. The firemen turned out promptly, and did excellent work,"though the building and its contents were destroyed. The build? ing contained a lot of fodder, hay, oats, corn and garden tools, and it made a big blaze. The cause of the fire is unknown. Mr. Tribble estimates his loss at about $175.00, which was covered with insurance to the amount of $70.00. The entertainment, under the manage? ment of Mrs. McSmith, in the Masonic Hall last Monday evening, for the benefit of the Charleston sufferers, was witnessed by a large audience, and was highly en? joyed.

Died, on Thursday, 23rd inst., at her home in Fork Township,' Mrs. Sarah Ann Roof, wife of Mr. George Roof, in the 52nd year of her age. Mrs. Roof united with the Presbyterian Church early in life, but there being no Church of her choice in the community in which she resided, some years ago she united with the Lutheran Church more recently, the membership of that Church; not being able to secure a pastor, united with the Methodist Church. She adorned her pro? fession in every condition in which her lot was cast, and died in the hope of a blessed immortality. She leaves a hus? band and one daughter and several grand? children to mourn her death, She was patient in all the vicissitudes of life, kind, affectionate and generous. She is the ninth of a large family who have "passed beyond the river." Her remains were deposited in the cemetery at Roberts Church, Rev. R. C. Ligon conducting the funeral services. . We take pleasure in calling the attention of the many readers of the Intelligen? cer to the large and attractive advertise? ment of Messrs.

They have perhaps the largest stock of boys' suits in this section, and are offer? ing them so cheap that any mother can afford to purchase a suit for her boy. We would advise mothers to inspect this de? partment. Their stock throughout is now, elegant and fashionable, and they guaran? tee a fit in every article purchased of them. Every thing is marked down to the low? est price. Go through their establish? ment, seo their goods, get their prices, and yon will do yourself good.

Camp? bell departed last Monday afternoon for Baltimore, where they will attend lectures; the former at the Physician's and Surgeon's Institute, the latter at the Baltimore Medical University. Misses Olivo Berry and Mattie Doda meade, both very charming young ladies, who have been visiting friends and rela? tives, return home this week; Miss Berry to Newnan, Ga., Miss Dodameade to Con? cord, North Carolina. Messrs. Rice Bros, are enlarging and otherwise improving their oil mills. W. E. B. Is It Bight.? Mr. Editor: Last week, in one of the county papers in this State, we noticed a local which, leaving the names blank, reads as follows: "Mr.-has engaged Mr.-to assist him during the fall season. Mr.-is polite aud attentive, and his presence will assist in maintaining the popularity of the-Bar." This is a complimentary puff that is given a young man who has just been engaged as a saloon-keeper. Now, sir, we desire, in the strongest language at our command, to enter a demurrer. In these times of social and moral reform, when the people of this country are, by com? bined effort, attempting to place the young man upon a higher sphere of usefulness, is it right that such flattering notices shall be given those who have just entered such an occupation ? Has it not a decided tendency, by encouragement, to delude others ? Friends of the Press, as responsiblo beings and moulders of society, do not, by such flattering comments, allow your? selves to directly antagonize the best in? terests of society. It is not right, J. Holland's Store Items. The election to nominate a Congress? man passed off very quietly. Scarcely any one interested themselves about it, all seeming willing to trust their interest in the hands of either of the candidates. Mr. Martin Saratsky, an industrious German of about 60 years af age, died at his home in this community about the 16th inst-, of typhoid dysentery. His re? mains were buried at Roberts, of which Church he was a member. Cotton is opening right along, and our farmers are busily engaged in, picking it out, in order to get it on the market while it commands such a good price. A few of our farmers have tried the cul? tivation of sorghum this year, and ex? press themselves as being amply repaid for their pains. The sooner all of our farmers realize the importance of raising every thing they possibly can at home the better it will be for them, and if they ever expect to make ends meet, they will have it to do, sooner or later. A few days ago Mr. Thomas McGukin caught a biue cat-fish, weighing 1G| pounds, in his basket, in Savannah River, and a few days previous one that weighed 16 pounds, besides a number of smaller ones. The prospect for a turnip crop is not very flattering. Some have sown asoften as three times, and still have none. Burke. Wililamston Correspondence. Two of our prosperous and enterprising farmers are trying their luck on tobacco raising this year. They now havo a large quantity growing beautifully, and are building houses in which to cure the weed. We believe they will succeed in making it profitable, and prove to their neighbors the good sense in raising something else besides cotton. In passing through North Carolina'and Virginia we notice the store-houses for saving the stuff dotted about over the fields, reminding us of what use to be "cotton houses" away down in the Sunny South in days of yoro. They are built of logs, yery tall, away up yonder, and daubed with mud. Immense tobacco factories are to be seen everywhere along the road, more now brick buildings for that pur? pose than for any other kind. High Point Is a town of boautiful residences of differ? ent colors on the hills, and Greonsbor ough has an extensive nursery, with thousands of young trees set in bunches over acres. Danville is also a place of beauty on the river, with its buildings towering far above us on the hills. Tho first place of interest is a large cemetery of many acres, with|magnificent tombs of every shape, color and si^e, over the hills, down in the ravines, then gradually as? cending from the railroad up, and farther up still until it is almost a mountain at the top, bedecked with massive monuT ments. We cross over into North Dan? ville, where everything is life. One beau? tiful feature of the landscapes in this hilly country are those immense thickets of the Norway pine or spruce. Extensive vine? yards and orohards stand in regularity as far as the eye can reach. The dwellings, as a general thing, through old Virginia are superior to ours. Massive brick and stone buildings, surrounded by ever? greens, are often seen. We notice, too, the citizens are cultivated, refined and well dressed, having a soft, mellow style of expression, which is attractive to the stranger. Lynchburg, on James River, is worth seeing. There among tho high hills, the deep gullies, the huge rocks, the immense factories of every descrip? tion, the different canals, the rolling, noisy river, the tunnel, the hum aud buz of humanity, the whistling of different trains, towering above all, away up yon? der the beautiful city nestles in the cliffs. In the city of Washington, at night, tho reflecting light gives to each lamp the appearance of five lights in one, throwing a long, beautifully-shaped, brilliant light on.the ground below. Imagine thou? sands of these lights around, exposing to view the beautiful city, flitting and turn? ing as the cars would pass, as if to mock us in our flight. A. P. N. Card of Thiuks.

I had been troubled all Winter with cold and pain in the chest and got no relief from remedies reccommended by Druggists and Physicians. At the same time I was adver? tising Dr. Bosanko's Cough and Lung Syrup.

Among the few popular remedies that have successfully withstood the test of a discriminating public, especially sensitive in matters of such vital importance as those which concern their daily health, Pomeroy's Plasters rank pre eminent.

Its name is indeed becoming a household word. Beware of counterfeits. Insist on having the genuine article. Wilhite & Wilhite agents for Anderson, S. C. Cure for Files.
