Tho Sheriff of Pickena District appeared in Court on last Wedocsday'morning, In ch M go of a prisoner, a Air. Loopor. of his District, charged with the murder, some day last week, of Col. Miller, a citizen of North Oirolina. The prisoner was present In charge of tho Sheriff, on application, bofor Bia Honor Judge Moses for ball. Tho case was heard and the prisoner was admitted to bail in the sum of f 2i,voo. The facts of the case, as we gathered from the affi? davit submitted by ex Governor Perry, who appeared for the prisoner, are about as follows:- By some strange and, perhaps on the part of others, criminal fatality, tho decease! was supposed by Looper to be one Ltrgent, a transient ref a ge j from Maryland, who had made, lt appears, threats against Looper's father, and to burn hit? house. Several messages were received by young Looper, that Largent was at a certain place and would attack his father; when be started out with oth? ers, and coming upon Miller, lying drunk in the road, shot bim through, causing bis death in a abort time. The accused 1B a young man, and, it would appear, was procured by others to kill Miller, under the impression that it was Largent, the other parties knnwir,g who tho deceased wa?, and is said to have exhibited much re? morse for the killing of Miller, whom be had never seen before. In the pockets of the deceased, which gave evi? dence of heir g rifled, was fonnd a parole as colonel, which would give evidence that ho WAS a respectable citizen at home. The inconsiderate and frequent use of firearms in the hand s o.' thoughtless young persons and citizens gene? rally is much to be regretted. The Solicitor must seo to it that tho peace and dignity of the State be preserved. We fear that the gallows must claim Its victims befor? tbis thing eau bo stopped. Civil law is now in force and parties of loose conscience should realize at once that if they be guilty of crime, thc law w?l qnickly, euro'y an I unerringly find them out. Laurtntvilk (S. C.)

He thinks that an over? whelming majority ot the people of Georgia are exceed? ingly anxious for the restoration of tho Government, and for the Stato to take her former politl?n in the Dnlon and enjoy all her rights, and adjust oU ter obli? gations os a Stato, under tie Constitution of tho Cotted States as lt stands amended. His opinion is, and the sent : ment of the people of Georgia is, thai the exercise of the right of secession waa resorted to, from a dcslro to render their libe ties and Ins i tnt lons more secure, snd from a belief on their part that this was absolutely neces 1 sary for that object. Ho thinks that th?" people are per. factly satisfied with tho experiment, and, that they will never resort to that measnre of redress again. He be? lieves that the only hope for their UbertfM now is the restoration of the Constitution of the Brand States, and of the Government under the Constitution. THE NEW COLLECTOR FOE NEW- 103 K.
