The New York Herald of the 5th says : The case of Sanford Conover was argued on Sat? urday in banco before Judges Carter, Wylie, Fisher and Olin. The case came no on appeal from the Criminal Court, where, it will be remem? bered, Conover was convicted of perjury. The ap? peal is made on the ground of the conviction being illegal, and of misdirection on tho part of the judges who tried the case. The case is regarded as one of great importance, inasmuch as the ques? tion of whether or not false swearing before a Con? gressional Committee can be made punishable as ?erjury. Tho learned counsel for tho prisoner, nose Lander and Mr. Gooding, contended that the defendant was illegally convicted of an offence for which no trial could be legally had, as the evi? dence was not given before a tribunal where false swearing would be perjury, and consequently the case did not come under the definition of perjury at all. Tho guilt or innocence of Conover baa nothing to do with the issue. Tho question was if the trial and conviction were legal. The District Attorney, Mr. Carrington, followed by Mr. Wilson, argu?e, in support of the indict? ment and conviction. There was no new point submitted beyond that which has already been re? ported when the case fiVst carno up. The decision was reserved until next Saturday. This vail b9 a decision of great ?interest ; on it hinges the degree of authority possessed by tho?e Congressional Committees, to "send for persons ?'id papers." If perjury cannot be committed by false swearing before the Committee, it is conclu? sive that they havo no right to administer an oath; and if so, tho whole inquisition is a sham without a shadow of^legal authority. The Radicals are in a dilemma. Of course they would like to shield their protege, the immaculate CONOVER, but ii they do, they acknowledge tho alternative, that the Commit tee had no right to administer on oath. THE Savannah Republican, of tho 11th, says : ? "OLD ATTEMPT AT WHOLESALE POISONING. Tho c mmunity of Savannah was tokon by storm yesterday announcing the culmination of a tragedy supposed to have been enacted on the corner of Bryan and Ann Htrcets. Investigating tho matter, we*found the following state of facts, which may bo relied upon in overy particular: Jacob Handy (colored) had hud several altercations with lils wifo, Fanny, who is in tho employ of Mi*. Erlich, on the oilier of Bryan and Ann streots. Jacob Handy, tho husband, who had been separated from his wife for some time, relumed to the bou s o yes? terday, and made preparation to carry out his hell? ish design. By thc uso of a superabundance of strychnine in tho food designed for his wife, bc expectud to accomplish his dark deed, and after preparing breakfast ho made his exit. Tho cliil clrcn, in partaking, of tho meal, found it not palata? ble and threw it out, when a dog went for it and in a fow roinutos was aoad. Drs. Hams and Charl? ton were immediately summoned, who, after test? ing tho food, found it poisoned by strychnine. Jacolr Handy, after perpetrating this foul deed, left tor parts unknown, and has not been arrested. Tho following additional fac^s havo appeared : A colored woman, tho wife of Jacob Handv, came in Dr. Solomons' drug storo last night and request? ed him to examine some ground corlee she exhibit? ed. Ho fouud strychniiio strongly dovoloped upon tho te ita made. Tho wonvm. stated that sho had made tho coffee for two Germans boarding with ber, and found it bitter ; and sbon after her ehil dreu had tasted it they became ill, and requested her to go for a doctor.

SENSIBLE ADVICE. General GRIFFIN, the Chief Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for Texas, it would appear, has made good use of his opportunities in study? ing the character and habits of the negroes, over whoso welfare he was called to preside; and he embodies the result of his observations in thc shape of advice and instruction in a circular to his subordinate agents. This circular has a historical and ethnological value, not contemplated by Gen? eral GRIFFIN; for, by a careful perusal of it, wo can trace tho influences of two years of freedom on the character of the new citizens. First, then, we aro glad to find that General GRIFFIN has arrived at the conclusion that it is better to make haste slowly, and he accordingly admonishes his subordinates "that much loss in time and wages has resulted to the freedmen from their engaging with persons of insufficient capital and experience, and that they (the agents of thc Bureau) should earnestly advise the negroes to prefer making contracts with responsible parties rather than yield to extravagant promises which are almost sure to fail of fulfillment." The New Orleans correspondent of the New York Times remarks quietly on the above : "It is not necessary to intimato that all these 'persons of insufficient capital and exporienco' are from the North." They belong to that class of men who | migrate Southward with slender purses but full of self-assurance. They cajole the negro into making contracts at high rate of wages and either fail dis? astrously or sell out during the growing season, leaving their credulous dupes in the lurch. Find? ing themselves thus deceived by those who pro? fessed to be their friends and who claimed to have tho confidence of the Freedmen's Bureau, thc freedmen quit the plantations and crowd into the cities and villages, in the hope of picking up in a loose, desultory way a living for themselves and families. Once there they are beset by temptations they cannot resist, and losing all the restraints that were put upon their passions in their former state of servitude, they become idle and vicious and worthless. With a full knowledge of the de? plorable extent to which these evil influences have already debased the negro character, General GRIFFIN uri ces that they shall be "advised to keep away from crowded cities and towns," for that "idleness and vagrancy lead to crime." They aro also to be admonished that "all the efforts of the Bureau and of charitable associations will be use? less unless by industry and frugality they resolvo to help themselves." From one learn all. The whole world is kin, tho black world no less than the white. What holds good in Texas about planters and labor, and about city and country, is no less true in South Carolina and in Charleston. We must confess, however, (in the light of what passes before our eyes here), to some surprise that General GRIFFIN shouldJ" deem it necessary to instruct his 6ubordinato*^f> that they shall insist that the freedmen shall send their children to school, and to tell them that it isij not only their right, but their solemn duty to ac? quire knowledge 1" In this respect we are certain? ly ahead of Texas. The difliculty bore would bo to keep the negroes from getting rapidly educated, rhev literally devour WEBSTER (NOAH), by day and by night. Gen. Griffin next proceeded to the consideration J j sf one of the Ten Commandments. Why he con-' i ines himself to the seventh, and has nothing to ? jay about tho eighth, it is impossible for us to sur? sise. Still we are thankful for this much. The 11 ?ext circular may supply this deficiency. It soeras ?nth all tho marrying of froodmen, that has boen :onducted wholesale during tho past two years JV Chaplains, if we arc not mistaken, appointed for this special purpose, there is still room for, t Xfmplaint, because of "irregularities." It is sur? ^ prising that the "Bureau of the marital relations/ t (we are not sure that wo have the exact titi J of j this subdivision of tho Freedmen's Bureau) should have fallen so far short of establishing tho institution of colored marriage on a sound basis, * is to need the following implied rebuke from jenoral Griffin. He says to his agents: "Give i ;he subject of marriage especial attention. Bear 1 n mind, and impress upon the freed people, that * ?he rolation of man and wife is an institution and a .anctioned by the Almighty, and uso your best in- t leavors to gather them into households, and in- j? luce them to observe the sanctity of the marital c relation." This is wholesome, christian, scrip- "< inral advice. It is a great pity, however, that it * should be needed in that quarter. ? Here then, says the Baltimore Gazette, in re- t dewing the same circular, we have, in tho sbapo sf official instructions to agents of the Freedmen's j Bureau in Texas, a completo exposition of tho ?US08 which render the free negroes not to be de? luded on, and of the degraded condition io which , inch large numbers of them have boen reduced. ] Chey have beon cheated of their time and wages I >y disreputable adventurers. They have grown j lisgusted with plantation labor. They crowd into . owns and villages where they huddle together and J ead a life of idleness advice and crime. They do j* tot appreciate for their ohildren tho educational Hessings which Northern "school marms" aro pre- c >ared to shower on thom, and they have shown, j hus far, a contemptuous disregard for the binding )bliga?ona of marriage. All this we gather from t ?he suggestive instructive instructions boforo us. i We find also that these evils aro becoming of such j magnitude that each of the Sub-Assistant Com? missioners ol' the Bureau ie directed, "immedi itoly" on receipt of the circular, "to make a tour, ?hrough the section of country properly coming J rithin b> jurisdiction for the express purpose pf i mpres -ing upon tho freedmen the necessity of their acting ia accordance with the foregoing prin- ] j jiples." Dr. Lord's Lecture. | j To the Editor of the Daily JVetcs. We wished to hoar tho Doctor for his cause, his subject and his reputation. Tho wish was fully' gratified ?it St. Stephen's Chapel the othor night. It would be impossible to notice this perform mce with justice to its merits, without a lecture from our p<n-and the columns of the paper would not allow that. Wo have sometimes thought that the theme of a speaker could afford no possible clue to the style of litorary performance we might expect. After once listening to a clever paper upon " Jack and Gill"-treated as an epic-wo came to tho conclu? sion that the subject was of little consequence. The mind to work it was everything. Indeed tho poetical license which usage also extended to tho public speakers, enables a gifted man to enter? tain his auditory with rambles over the whole field of letters. The only poin? is that it must bo well done. No matter how far'he may wander, if ho is entertaining by the way. Dr. LORD'S lecture showed this. His subject, tho works of the illiterate tinker, and the rough handling of Leigh Hunt, afforded the learned lec? turer an opportunity for unfolding to his hearers the treasures of a mind stored with tho choicest gleanings from tho ancients and moderne. To show how ho did it, even if wo could-to exhibit tho easy and apparently natural gradations by which a polished hue will glide from Bunyan or Jack and Gill to the sublime of MILTON, tho grand and sponking outline of HOMER, or the universal knowledge and flowing diction of SHAKSPEARE, woi?d be tho task of a moro elaborate criticism than our ambition prompts or space permits. It is enough to say, that in this lecture tho "art to conceal art" was strikingly brought out. It pos? sessed just versatility enough, graphic and elo? quent description, quaintness of thought, and deep footing and sentiment well combined lo plcaso the popular taste.; while the imagery would stand the test of the severest criticism. Thc Doc? tor, by bis allusion to Vanity Fair, recalled our remembrance of THACKERAY. Lut bc surpasses th finish and seriousness of ?style the author ol' the "Noweomes." To concludo. Suppose, in this practical ago, wo give a practical turn to our thoughts. Unlike .Bunyan's Pilgrim, we did not go alone; but with the ambiguous announcement, "doors open at 7," but no hour mentioned to bogin, wo set out with the househould on om* pilgrimage It was all vory well in Mr.ltioGs'two-hoise carnages, but it was wy dark in Society street. We would scarcely bavo been astonished if wo had been scar? ed as poor CHRISTIAN was, for thc d ai; is trying, especially with women and children under your charge. In a comparatively inaccessible place, to bo roached through Cimmerian darkness, it is no wonder that the Doctor hadn't a large audience, though ho had a very respectable one. But such a lecture should bo repeated in Hibernian Hall, for ins ance. Tho street cars bring the ends of thc city togothcr, and they can wait and take tho people homo aftor it is over. Our Young friends, tue Conductors, do two days work in one already ; they will not mind a lbw hours moro or loss. And then, if the Vestry of St. Michael's will stir them? selves, tho Doctor might, be prevailed upon in this wuy to raiso $400 or S500 for ST. MICHAEL'S BELLS. CHARLESTON, S. C. [From the Baltimore Goutte.] SUFFERING IN SOUTH CAROLINA. We print elsewhere a letter addressed to GEOBGE M. GILL, Esq., of this city, from Mayesville, South Carolina. It is from the pen of Dr. J. LEIGHTON WILSON, and depicts in simple and unaffected lan? guage the destitution of which he has been an eye witness. Extracts from another letter, written by a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, are also given. The statement of the Ber. WILLIAM MABTIN is even more touching than that of Dr. LEIGHTON, and of the truthfulness of both there cannot be a shadow of doubt. Thia cry which now reaches us from South Carolina, has been repress? ed until tho destitution has become so great that relief must be had from some quarter or many moro deaths will, in all proba? bility, be added to tho two which the writer re? cords as of his own knowledge occurring "lrom actual want." In this most pressing exigoncy these starving people seem to look once more to jVfhryland for that assistance they cannot get at home and have no hope of receiving elsewhere. Our citizens have already been overtaxed by re? sponding to the many appeals which have been made to them from different parts of the South : but with that confidence in their profound sympa? thy and practical benevolence which their past record of good deeds inspires, it bas been thought on this occasion an appeal to the Legislature might not bc in vain. To this end petitions have been drawn up asking for assistance. Copies of the petition will bo circulated among our citizens on" Monday, and we are sure, from the nature "f the case nnd especially from its urgency, will be promptly and numerously signed. A copy will als? be found at the office of the Gazelle, where signatures will bb received. Thc Suffering at the South-An Appeal. MACSVILLE, S. C., March 22,1867. George M. Gili, Esq., Ballimore, Md. My Bear Sir-I fa ve just got back in safety to my home and family, and do not allow myself tho ordinary and necessary repose after a long journey before writing to you m behalf of my afflicted and distressed countrymen. In one of om" recent interviews in Baltimore, you suggested that the City Council and the Legisla? ture of Maryland might each make an appropria? tion for tho relief of the suffering people of the Southern States. At that time I could not speak confidently of the actual or prospective Bufferings af tho country, but since making a tour of two [mildred miles through the heart of this State, with eyes and ears open, I have come to the con? clusion that the distress of the people is unprece ientty groat, and must become even more so if Dur friends in other parts of the country do not como to our relief. Many of our people are not Linly destitute and without credit by which to get the means of subsistence, but will be without the means of cultivating their forms, and of conse? quence must be oven worse off the next year. ? This distress is not confined to any one section jE tho State, but prevails to a less or a greater ex? tent in overy portion of it. A goodly number have raised cotton enough to purchase food, but the greater mass of the people liavo neither cotton, money, nor credit to buy the food nocessary to provont their families from achi? ll starvation. In Abbeville, and several of the adjoining dis? tricts, I loam from good authority, the distress is rory groat, and becomes every day more so. In Columbia, as I learned from Dr. Adger, one gen? tleman waB serving out corn meal by the peck to nore than four hundred families. From Judge Udrich, with whom I travelled some distance yes ierday and who has been travelling extensively in he State, I learned that tho di-tress was quite as rr oat in the southwestern part of the State as any? where else, And indeed he expressed the serious ipprchension that wo were approaching a general am ne, such as had never boen known m this :ountry. Our merchants, in the present political gloom >vorhanging- tho country, are without credit ibroad, and of consequence are unable to do anv? iling, for tho relief of tbe Deoplo. The $500.000 Lppropriated by the Legislature of South Carolina <vsupply corn, to which reference was made in )ur last interview, proved an entire failure, owing o the fact, I believe, that our State bonds are vortb very little in the present state of the coun ?ry. I do not suppose that matters are any better in ;he State of Georgia. Porhaps the g oh eral desti? tution is greater m those two States than in any ?thor. The wonts of tho country can be botter met by he shipment of corn and meat than in any other vav. These might be sent to depots along the aiiroads and bo placed under the care of judicious iommittoes, who could either sell them at moder tto prices or distribute them gratuitously among he poor as might seem necessary. It will require, is I learned from a number of judicious and ob lervant men, several hundred thousand bushels of :orn to relieve tho distress of tho State alone; but vhatcver may be given will go just BO far to re ieve existing distress. In concluding this hastily written letter, I would ?imply add that whatever may be done should be lone as speedily as possible. Our Christian people are greatly comforted and sh cered by what is being done in Baltimore for the chef of our afflicted church. Yours, with Christian and fraternal regards, J. LEIGHTON WILSON. Extracts from a letter dated Columbia. S. C., iarch L 1867, written at the request of tho Eev. rVilliam Martin, a Methodist minister at Columbia, >y ono of his children, and addressed to Dr. J. deighton Wilson, who'sont it to George M. Trill, of baltimore. Dr. Wilson fully endorses the standing ind character of tho Bev. William Martin : /'Early in the winter contributions for tho poor ?/South Carolina wero Bent by Gov. Orr, who re? (nested my father to undertake tho distribution of hem, and, in order to do this impartially, request id him to ascertain as far as possible the condi ion of the poor throughout tho State. Acting on his request, my father has for months pasi been iorresponding with responsible men in all parts of ho State and has learned tho following painful acts: "That at least ono hundred and fifty thousand bushels of corn must bu biu?ght into the State [South Carolina) for gratuitous distribution to pro rent actual famine, that lhere are now in many ?laces numbera of persons who are suffering for jread, who must perish ucless help come speedily, md that the suffering is by no means confined to hat class of persons who will beg, but that tho greatest suffering is among those who are suffor ng from tho reverse of fortuno brought about by :ho war, to whom begging would be worse than leath. "Within sound of Columbia I know of two deaths Erora actual wont, and from the intelligence my father has received, we have every reason to fear that these are not isolated cases. "On my lather's pension hst are the names of nearly four hundred persons, representing nearly fifteen hundred persons, nearly all of whom arc widows and orphans or disabled soldiers. These pcrsous aro almost entirely dependent on the help he (my father) reooiveB from abroad, for subsistence. Richland, as you know, is by no means our largest or most destitute district, and when I tell you that this district includes Richland alone, you may judge for yourself the state of the case. "I have seen, sir, on many of the bitterest days of our severo winter just past, feeble women wan with starvation walk lon. fifteen and twenty miles, scantily covered with raga, with their babies in their arms, to receive a half bushel cf corn, which they aro thankful to bo able to corry home to their starving children. "Allow me to give you an extinct from a note juit sent to my father from one of the Commis? sioners of the Poor : 'Among our most needy are Mr. Young, aged 85; Mrs. Cornelius, a soldier's widow, naked, starving, with seven children, three idiotic, and also her mother, aged 80; Mrs. W. Marsh, soldier's widow, five children; Mrs. Cook, widow, having care of her son's children, he being killed in tho army.' And so the sorrowful list goes on." 1 [Washington Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette.] WANT AND DESTrfTJTION Di THE SOUTHERN STATES. BEPOBT GI'' MAJOB-GENEBAL HOWARD. WASHINGTON, March 8.-Secretary Stanton sent to the Scnato to-day a report from General Howard, Commissioner of thc Freedmen's Bureau, relative to tho destitution now prevailing in tho Southern States. General Howard says that from ofncial sources, which otc confirmed by gentlemen from different sections of tho South, he estimates that there aro 32,062 whites, and 2-1,258 blacks-total 50,900 peoplo, who will noed food from some source before the next crop can relieve them. Lu five months-the probable time required-the number of rutions required for these people will bo 8,535,1)00, which, at 25 cents per ration, will amount to $2,133,750. Of this sum, an appropriation of $(?25,000 lins already been made, leaving an addi? tional max of $1,508.750, which sum General How? ard deems sufficient to meet tho extreme want oc? casioned by faillir?) of the crops, &c. General Howard states that since his report was drawn up he has received an estimate from tho Assistant Commissioners and Governor of Georgia, greatly exceeding hie estimate for that State, but bois un? willing to recommend a larger appropriation at present.

[Correspondence of the BoMmore Sun.\ WASHINGTON, March 7.-Thc action of the House caucus in resolving to take a recess on Monday next, is not regarded as final. Hon. THAD. STE? VENS and others are very determined in keeping Congress here until the last of next week at any rate. The resolution of adjournment Crom the HOUBO was laid on the table in the Senate, to await the decision of the caucus of the Radical Senators, whicb was held immediately after ad? journment. The caucus continued in session for a couple of hours, and it is said it was determined to take no immediate action on the House proposi? tion, but to wait a few days and watch the course of events. It is doubtful if the Senate will agree to the House resolution for a recess until May only. It is believed that a majority of the Senate favor an adjournment until October. The impeachment subject was brought up in the House to-day by Mr. Ashley, who used such dis? graceful language towards the President that Speaker Colfax was twice compelled to call him to order. General Butler followed him in a similar strain. Tho speeches of James Brooks and Fer? nando Wood were listened to with much attention on the Republican side, but the eloquent efforts made by tnase defenders of the Constitution will not avail to stop tho tide. Thaddeus Stevens re? marked in private conversation to-day, that Presi? dent Johnson, or Andrew Johnson, as he called him, would not bo in the White House on tho first of June. According td the caucus record last night, the impeachment question will have eighty votes to commence with. The President sent a large batch of nominations to the Senate to-day. The executive session lasted only about twenty minutes, during which six con? firmations only were made, and no rejections. The officers confirmed were all of New York. The other nominations were referred to the appropriate com? mittees. Messrs. Sumner and Wilson again brought forlh to-dav more bills for the government of the South? ern States, and if the "loyalists" are tot sufficient? ly protected, it will be from no fault f theirs. Mr. Sumner coolly proposes to divide o the lands of the Southern people, HO that every 'cdman m-y have a tract or his own. Hon. John Morrissey continuos to be the great centre of a! traction in the capitol. He ia almost constantly beset by tho pages for his autograph. Among the visitors on tho floor of the House to? day was Hon. John L. Thomas, Jr., of Baltimore, now an ex-M. C. Hon. Henry Wilson is said to have some idea of doffing the senatorial robe and stumping the coun? try in the interest of temperance. He bas certain? ly become very zealous in that cause of late. The Department of Agriculture has recently re? ceived from Alexandria, Egypt, a small quantity of cotton seed, which will be distributed. It is stated here that advices have been received that Sam Collyer and Barney Aaron met to-day in New York to conclude arrangements for another disgraceful prize fight about the 1st cf May. Travel over the Alexandria and Washington Railroad bridge will bo resumed to-morrow. The spring trade is fairly opened. A number of vessels are at the wharves to receive corn now in store, purchased for Northern markets at prices ranging from 92 to 94 cents. It is stated that 1 some 8000 bushels of corn to arrivo have been sold : for 80 cents. The only sales of wheat reported are : some 4000 bushels red at $3, and a small lot of white at $3 20. The stock of flour is exhausting, . and best grades are in active demand. The water was let in upon the Georgetown level of the canal last night. Returns of the municipal election at Alexandria on Tuesday show that 1153 white votes were re- . corded by the commissioners, of which the Radi? cal candidate received 72, Mayor Latham 570, and Mr. Marbury 511 votes. The colored vote recorded 'l by then: committees outside the regular polls was : 1403, including the names of seven whites, among these Judge Underwood and his son. The ballot :f John Seaton, a colored man, was given for Mayor Latham. The largest number of white votes was given to David L. Smoot, Esq., for city attorney, who recoived 1055. The next highest was 1022 votes for C. H. McKnight, Esq., superintendent of ; gas. The so-called loyalists of Alexandria have ' petitioned Congress in relation to the municipal Election. They aro as follows : Messrs. John C. ' Underwood. George Tucker, John Harry Worst, Josiah Millard, P. A. Stoutenbuogb, John Birrell, Fames T. Burnett, Thomas Davy, William Bush- . jy, Wm. N. Berkley, Walter h. Penn, Larkin Pat? on, Theodore Toed, John Mooro, and Thomas J. Edelin. They charge that tho military bill has jecn openly defied, and declaro that "a loyal re- ? : ons traction is possible only through the assist- . mee of loyal election officers;" also that peaceful Sections in the South "cannot' be secured unless 1 he arrogant, domineering, blood-thirsty disloyal llement is kept from tho pol lu entirely, until KU oh imo as it shall have become at least partially lurified, or tho loyal elemont organized and horoughly entrenched in power." Theyrecom nend additional legislation under the military bill, he registration of voters, and declare in favor of he Louisiana bill, amended so as to have some ?lasses of disfranchised persons gradually restor? ed. They aro opposed to permanent disfranchise nent of any considerable class of thcioommunity. Correspondence* The following correspondence will explain it? self : CHARLESTON, March 7, 1867. Messrs.

NEW ORLEANS, March 8.-Governor Wells has issued a proclamation sstting forth that Whereas, Congress passed an act for the effi? cient government of the Rebel States, which act is now a law; and whereas section ?5 provides, and whereas section 6 provides, 4c; now there? fore, I, J. Madison Wells, Governor of (ho State of Louisiana, hereby declaro snid act to be in force in said State. All olections held from and after this date, either State, municipal or parochial, under any authority, except in strict conformity with section six of said act of Congress, will be void and of no effect. All persons elected to office must be able to qualify under said law before they can bo allowed to enter upon the duties of tho same. The St. Louis Times says : Two out of every four of the Radi tals in the Ohio House of Representatives voted against striking out the word "white? from the Constitution of their State. Four out of every four of tho Radical members of Congress from Ohio voted to deprive the South of its political rights for retaining tho word "white" in their State Constitutions. Diamonds are rare, but of all jewels consistency ia the rarest. The authorities of Mu t?maras undertook to im? prove tho streets and whitewash their church afc the samo time, recently, but the funds giving ou1 when tho church was half whitewashed, that build? ing prosento rather a grotesque appearance, and . they are now tryiug, by tho imposition of a pass? port tax, to complete their improvements, j W.

SALE OP VALUABLE LAND JW STANLY.-The Wadesboro Argue says : "We learn that David Kendall, of Stanly, has recently sold his place, four mites above Albemarle, on the Salisbury road, to two gentlemen from the North, who are making arrangements to work it forthe gold they have rea? son to behove is in it. The indications are very rich. One of the purchasers who had some expe? rience in California, says that they are as rich as the richest placers in that State. Any time ofter an ordinary shower of rain pieces of gold in size from a small pea to the largest grain of corn can be picked up in exposed places, and it is thought' that with good machinery the return from gold dust will be very great. We have recently eeen two very fine specimens found by a person while casually walking over the land, and a short while since a nugget was found on it valued at $5. in fold. Tho largest piece of gold ever found in this tate was discovered two miles" from this place. Besides the gold in the loose earth the indications are that the rocks (quartz and slate) are very rich. On Friday night last the stable premises of Dr. W. C. Ramsay, in this town, were entered hy thieves, by drawing the stapie to which the hasp was looked, and some eighteen-to twenty bushels of corn in the ear carried off. No doubt more than one person was engaged in this robbery, and be? sides a wagon used. But owing to the number of fresh wagon tracks near the stable the Doctor was hot able to follow np any trace, and os yet no clue has been got of the robbers. On Monday night thieves entered the smoke house and storeroom of Mr. Clem. Birmingham, residing about four miles from town, and carried off tome seven to eight hundred pounds of bacon, several bushels meaty a hundred or two pounds of flour, and a barrel of molasses. Two freedmen have been arrested implicated in the robbery. Others ore at large. SPECIAL NOTICES, t@rCHARLESTON WATER. WORKS COM?
