C , has baen appointed and confirmed as Assessor for the Third District of Bouth Carolina, iu place of Col. C. J. Ilford, who declined taking the oath of o?ioe. It also etatea that The Trustees of the Furman University, at their annual meeting held after the adjournment of the "ftiiptist Convention, conferred the degree of Doc tor Of Divinity on Bev. Tho?. E. Skinner, of North Caroline, Rev. David Hhaver, of Virginia, Rev J. O. B. Dargan, of South Carolina, and Rev. G. B. Bealor, of South Carolina. And also saya that Greenville has been enliven ed for several days by the presence of a consider able number of delegates-about seventy, we learn -in attondanco upon the Baptist State Convention of South Carolina; and the general opinion appears to he that a moro pleasant or a moro profitable session of such a body does not often occur. The Abbeville Press of the 3d mentions that it lias boen favorod daring the past week with re freshing raiiiB. which have revived vegetation gen erally-much of t' o corn was past relief, but tbttt which was planted late will be greatly ben.lHtcd. With tho best of seasous hencoforth, we may an ticipate a time of unexampled scarcity. In tho dry year ol 1815, wo commenced the? year with full stores, and besides the bottom lands wore produc tive-but in tho present year both of these re sourc- havo failed us. Wo loam from the same paper that the Rev. D. McNeill Turner, D. I)., is about leaving Abbeville, and doeigns joining'Dr. Gaston'? emigration party to Brazil. He has already preached hi. farewell sermon. -a*" Til" Columbia Fiionix of S itui'day aays: "Al though still warm, tho refreshing showers wo have had daily ainco (he dog-days sot in have considerably modified the heat. The seasons, wo understand, have been pretty general, and, wo hope, will prove serviceable to the late corn." Tho Lauronsvillo Herald of Friday last says : "Sinco our last rain has fallen in spots and corners of tho District, reviving the crops and hopes of the farmuia. But thero are neighbor hood-* whore the refreshing showers have not fallen, aed the corn orops are irretrievably lost. Weather hot-not a breeze " We extract the following from the Bennettaville Eastern Journal of Saturday : Tho hearts of our despondent planters havo been rejoiced at last, by copious aud refreshing showers of rain. After four weeks hot and dry sunshine upon the corn, it has boon revived, and now present? an entirely difforcrt appearance. In some localities it has boon parched to suoh an extent that nothing could reclaim it. Bat gen erally, tho corn crops will bo greatly born-fitted by tho rains of last week, and there is now a pros pect of a much botter yield than was oxpooted a week ago. Wo hope our people have boenmhiakon in their calculations, when they oonildeutly assert that there will not bo a suffioionoy of corn mado for homo consumption next year. With a little economy, we think all can livo on what is mado. The cotton crops are doing very well. The wood is growing li ely, and the forms increasing in numbors andsizo daily. We think, with favor aiilo weather and a Jato Fall, thero will bo one third of a cotton crop reodized in this District upoh tho land undor cultivation this year. Wo regret to leam that the Methodist churoh, near Olio, was consumed by Aro on Wednesday night, the 25th tilt. The Cher aw Advertizer of the 4th says : At last wo havo ha liin abundanoo of rain, bnt it la top late to be of much service to the parched corn. However, it will do much ?rood to cotton, peas, potatoes, and the gardens. . Coroner's Inquest. Au interesting inquost baa been rocontly held by our indefatigable Coronor, E. M. WurrrNO, Eaq , over tho body of one Plenty Gillans, froed man, who waa found dead noar Wassarnaeaw Swamp, and who wob euppoBcd to have been mur dered. Tho testimony in this caeo was first takon bo fore Capt. F. W. Liedtke, Aasielaut Commiat-iont-r Froedmou'B Bureau of that District. The ovi donco advanced beloro him showed that Plenty Gillans, a frecdman, had spoken to Mr. Reuben Walling rather eioas.yin regard to a dog bolong ing to Mr. Wa, and wliich he (the deceased) had threatened to kill. It appeared further, hy tho testimony of Jeffrey Jefferson, Julius Singleton and Tonoy Gillans, colored, that tho accused, Mr. Wal ling, had threatened to shoot thodeccaccd on ac count of words that ho had spoken in connection with tho dog. Thoro wore aovoral suspicious cir cumBtancoa in thia caeo that induced Captain Liedtke to arrest Mr. Reuben Walling and the three colored witnesees abovo mentioned, and forward thom to Charleston. He also sent a double-barrelled gun belonging to Mr. W. and the hat of tho murdered man, which was found noar the body pierced with bullets. Captain L. also suggested that a jury bo impannollod from some other seotion, and an inqueat be held over the body. In accordanco with thia suggestion, Coroner Whiting was orderod by Major Bor, 6th U. S. I., to impannel a jury and hold an inquest over the body at the place of the murdor. Coroner Whit ing promptly oboyed tho summons, and proceeded to St. John's, where a jury of disinterested persons were impanuellod, and tho following testimony olicitod. There were some seventeen or eighteen witness es examined, both white and colored. Tho iuvea tigation commcucod,at tho Barrows, was continued to White Hall, and concluded at Monck's Corner. Lydia C.

Dscoiaed suntinucd at the ?ato cursing deponent's daughters, and using very obscene language. De ponent had not bcoh him since, and did not knew of his death until the Mond.iy following. Isabella L. Wallino testified that about sun rise, on the Monday above staled, Pieuty Gillans and another froedman carno to their gate, and being vexed because tho dog barked at tliero, Plenty commenced cursi nfc and abueing thara iu a violent mannif. Hor mothor rebuked Plenty and ordered him off. Nothing waa known of de ceased's death until aomo freodmen carno to tho house and asked if abo had heard of any ono being killed about there, or heard any report of a guu. Alick E. Walling, bister to tb", last wilnoaa, testified to tho sarae effect. That flenly kad abused tbem, and was ordered off by her mother. Her father and brother wore not at home.

Mrs. W. ordered Plenty to bueh and go off, or ske would shoot him. Plenty replied that neithor aho nor any other white woman could do it. Plenty aud his brother went off, and doponent came in to aook employment, but concluded afterward not to accopt it on account of the difficulty just mentioned.

[nXOV OUIl OWN COUIUCBl'ONDENT.] New Yobe, August 1.-Had Hamlet lived in these days -had he lived ia Nsw York, and goue to Saratoga to attond tho ricos-had he returned after the races wcro ovor-had he takon the train from Saratoga to Albany, and the Dean Richmond from Albany to Now York-he would probably, in a confidential conversation with his maternal raia? tiri?, or over a bottle of Bordeaux wii. nith _i_ friends Horati. ?___ Marcelina, have remarked r.terring to tha Dtan Richmond-that she "is a combination, and a form indeed, whore ovary god did sr em to sot his seal, to give the world _kbu_ anse of-" a boat. From this your r&dei- will learn faur important facts-first: that I have loft Saratoga; next, that I am once more in the big oity; thirdly, that I came from Albany on the Dtan Richmond; and lastly, that I au pleased with said boat. I arrived hore in time to learn what I did not know before, and what you know already per tologram-that the great Atlantic Cable is a sie cess-that daua Field has taken the first step towards the carrying out of* Shakbi-eahk- idea of putting a girdle around the earth in a half hour and tea minutes ; that the Old and New World are united ; that wo can receivo here ia New York to night ajpieaaage from London sent yesterday; that the line is open ; that four thousand words havo been sent across tho deep blue soa in twelve hours, at the snug little price of five dollars por word; and, in short, that the thing is a great suc cess. It is most extraordinary with what indifference the great i ew of the success of the cable was received in this city. The only reasonable con struction I can put upon it is, that nine men out of ten had expressed the opinion that it would again prove a failure; and, therefore, thought it tbest to say as little about it as possible, when they found that thoy wero not the Solomons they thought themselves. Verily tho concoitdd and and self-opinionated men of this great city aro not dead yet, hut still li vo and will li to forovor niore. ...Tho cholera is on the inoreaso, and is speedily assuming the form of au epidemic. Thero wore sixteen cases officially reported yesterday, aud five deaths. In Brooklyn thore were ton cases, four of which proved fatal. No one is alarmed, and tho evident increase in tho dread disease creates no excitement. Hcad-Contro Stephens, the "Fenian mau," has oome out with a document addressed to tho Fe nian Brotherhood, in which ho informs said broth erhood that there will bo a fight this year for Irish froodom on Irish soil. No ono behoves him nor tho document. At a mooting of tho Board of Councilpion, hold yesterday, a resolution was passed granting to the West Sido and Yonkers Railway Company the prifiloge of orcoting ?.rial railways in Greenwich street. If successful, the Uno will bo extended further, conjmenoing at the* Battery, running along Gruonwicb-Btroet to Ninth avenue, and across tho Harlem Uiver. General Santa Anna has brought a suit in tho Supremo Conrt against two gentlemen, whom the groat Mexican alleges have swindled him in tho ohartering of the steamer Georgia, which brought him and his staff from St. Thomas. Tho General does not like "tho customs of tho country," if swindling is one of them, and so has placod him self under the protootivo power of the law. ?jTho most extraordinary case of gonoronity on record is that of a gontioman (from Maine) who lost a wallet oontainiug $6000, and when the wal let and contents wero handod to him by a poor and honest man, whom old Diogones should have found with his lantern, offered him fifty couts re ward, which ho afterwards, in a burst of generos ity, inoreased to seventy-five cents. This gentle man behoves in tho principle of taking caro of the pennies that tho pounds -hoold tak,o caro of them selves. ' The theatres aro doing much botter.
