LONDON, An gust 15.-Dispatches have just been received from Ireland, giving the particu? lars of deeds of lawlessness which occurred yesterday near Tipperary. It seems that while . one af .the..great landlords of that region, named Scully, was serving the usual notices on varions tenants he was shot and silled by some unknown person. A strong body of police soon after made- their appearance on the scene of | the mnrder, and attempted to arrest the cul - prit, when the police, in turn, were fiercely at? tacked. Two of them were shot dead and four badly wounded. Several arrests were subse? quently made. At last advices quiet had been ,| -restored. LONDON, August 15-Evening.-Further ad? vices from Tipperary, Ireland, have been re? ceived this evening. The agent of the land? lord, Mr. Scully, was'not killed, as at first re? ported. He endeavored, on Tuesday, to serve some ejectment notices upon several tenants in the vicinity of the City of Tipperary, when he was attacked-by a large body of them, and was obliged to fly into the city to save his life. Yesterday : he started again upon the same errand, accompanied by a large body of well axxned police. Upon reaching the hamlets of j the tenantry, his efforts to serve the notices were met with derision and threats of violence. The police endeavored to disperse the mob, when a fierce fight ensued, during which the police fired upon the rioters several times-the shots being returned by some cf their crowd. Several of the mob were wounded, as were also a number of the police. Mr. Scully was seri? ously wounded, and the police retired, being unable to make any arrests at the time. The City of Tipperary is in a high state of excite? ment and further trouble is apprehended. ANNTVEESASr OJ NAPOLEON'S INAUGURATION. ' PASXS, August 15.-The fete in honor of the inauguration of the first Emperor Napoleon was celebrated to-day with great pomp. AU the officials of the court, togethar with the Emperor Napoleon and family, attended the grand Tr Hewn at Notre Dame. After the cer? emonies the Emperor left for Fontainebleau. TROUBLES IE TURKEY. L0ND0?, August 15-Evening.-Dispatches received to-day from Constantinople state that a serious encounter took place at Pera, two miles from the city, between the Greek residen ts and the Turks, in con sequence of a violation of the grave of Prince Mir dites. The troops of the Sultan were called ont to suppress the riot, and fired upon the Greeks, killing and wound? ing a large'number. Many cf the latter fled to the residences of the* foreign consuls for re? fuge. The trouble was finally suppressed by the active measures of the soldiery. Our Washington Dispatches. THE WAB HUMORS-A BATCH OE GENERALS-AC? TIVITY 07 THE CANVASS-TH? BUTLER ZOU? AVES-A' QUEER PROCEEDING--INDIAN OUT? RAGES, AC WASOHOTOH, August 18.-Yesterday's ru? mor that the French and Prussian legations had received -warlike advices, is pronounced in proper quarters too absurd for contradiction. Bertheney says that France had lent large sums of money to Austria and Italy for railroad purposes, and the return of this money ac? counts for the accumulation of bullion in the Bank of Fr ance. Rosecrans left this morning for the White Sulphur Springs on the same train and in so? cial company with Generals Ewell, Longstreet I &nd Hunton. General Rosecrans returns on Thursday. General Lee is at the White Sul? phur. The Republican Congressional Committee hare been sending out twenty-five thousand politicaldocumenta per week, and they expect to average fif^y to one hundred thousand per week until the election. The recent riotous proceedings of the Butler Zouaves have ventilated circumstances con? nected with the disbanding of the negro mili? tia companies in the district. The President ordered them disbanded, when Grant referred [ the order to General Embry, who returned it with the endorsement, that there was no au? thority for such a proceeding, since martial law did not exist. The order was returned to the President with this, endorsement, and there the matter rested. There waa along Cabinet session to-day. Letters from Kansas report' repeated out? rages by Indians, beating men and outraging women in a shocking manner. It is seriously stated that Rosecrans' visit to Virginia is for consultation with General Lee regarding Mexican relations and Southwestern border interests. Other parties say that Rose? crans desires to consult General Lee with re? gard to the views, purposes and probable ac? tion of Southern Democrats as preliminary to a letter bf advice that Rosecrans intends ad? dressing to the Germans before leaving the country. Nothing is positively known beyond that Rosecranz, goes to Virginia to see General Lee..; The Collector for New Orleans is not yet named. . _ Tate? Troubles in Hayd-Sewi from Mexico.

ATLANTA, August 18.-A Republican mass meeting was held in this city to-day, and was addressed- by ex-Governor Joe Brown, James Johnson, Joshua Hill and others. The crowd was composed of about fifteen hundred ne? groes and three hundred whites. Of the latter at least one-third were Democratic spectators. A negro speaker said, among other things, that be had no confidence in the white man who j Fiufc.T.pd ?jj fridA ?s-?.v. fha --o - -- ax? lie ved the white folks were for themselves only, and that "the whites who pretend to be for us will desert us in the time of trouble."

Affairs in the Dp-Country. A RADICAL POW-WOW EN" GREENVILLE-IN CEN DIABY SPEECHES-FINK PROSPECfS OF THE CEO?-POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] GREENVILLE, August 16.-Yesterday morn? ing negroes from all parta o? this district and the adjoining ones were seen coming into town to attend s Badioal meeting at Academy Spring. About .twelve o'clock the procession, beaded by a rickety wagon drawn by four jaded horses, in which were seated several darkies blowing vociferously upon brass instruments, marched through the principal streets. Not a single white man took part in the procession. The oratora of the day consisted of Ran? dolph, of berat district notoriety, and carpet? baggers Allan, Whittemore and Tomlinson. The speeches were of a disgustingly incendiary nature. The negroes had fully expected a bar? becue, but were disappointed. Some of them had walked from forty to fifty miles to attend it, and had to return with empty stomachs. Many of them begged lustily for something to eat along the way. The meeting was unques? tionably a failure, and the Democrats think that it will weaken the Radical party in thia section. Old and reliable farmers say that the corn and cotton crops in this district never looked better, and the merchants are looking forward to a brisk fall trade. The Courier stated a short time ago that Mr. Sullivan, a distinguished lawyer and use? ful citizen of the adjoining district of Laurens, had turned Radical. This ia a great and inju? rious mistake. This worthy gentleman is a staunch Democrat, and is now president of a Democratic Club, and engaged in stumping the district. Grand ratification mass meetings will be held by the Democracy in Anderson on Wednesday next, and in Spartanburg on September ll. _ -The imperial family coats France ten mil? lions annually, which ?a'more than three times what Louis Philippe spent. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. THE DOINGS AT THE SO-CALLED LEGISLATURE YESTERDAY-PASSAGE OF THE BILL TO ALTEE THE CHASTER OF THE COT OF CHARLESTON. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DAILY NEWS.] COLUMBIA, August 18.-Whipper, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported favor? ably on the bill to define the jurisdiction and regulate practice in the Probate Courts; also introduced a bill to establish the office of pros? ecuting attorneys for the several judicial dis? tricts. Denny, printer to the House, was authorized to draw one thousand dollars in bills receivable at the rate of seventy cents on the dollar. Bills regulating suffrage and providing for the reorganization of the State Penitentiary were taken up, but after' the passage of two or three sections, were postponed. The bill for the temporary organization of the school system was partly considered. The greater part of the day was consumed ?n the third reading of the bill for the taxation and assessment of property. The evening ses? sion is now being held, but there is no business | of importance. The Senate conrmitt.ee reported favorably on the bill for the sale of the Columbia canal; also on the bill rcirulating the manner of disbursing the publio funds by certain officers. ~ _ / The committee on the petition of John Cald- J well recommended that the consideration of it be postponed to the regular session. The bill to convert public securities was re? ported upon favorably. Whittemore, from the Committee on Fi? nance, reported back the bill to close the opera? tions of the Bank of the State, with the recom? mendation that it pass. It was ordered for consideration to-morrow. The bill to alter and amend the charter of Charleston was passed and returned to the House. The bili to incorporate the Home Insurance Company was postponed to Thursday. FUBTHEB BY MAIL. [FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.] THE FINANCIAL DEAD-LOCK-THE TAX BELL HOW rr WAS PASSED-WHAT GEN. SCOTT PECTS TO DO AND WON'T DO-THE BATE OF TAXATION-EPPING WITH A NEW GIN MILL. COLUMBIA 17.-The proceedings of the House to-day, while utterly devoid of in? terest, illustrate the peculiar manner in which our new legislators make laws. Members bad somehow got it into (heir heads that the State was bankrupt; that -& Co. bad refused to make a loan of even twenty-five thousand dollars; that the hands of the Gover? nor were consequently tied, and the treasury looked and barred. In this extremity they very sagaciously determined to pass the bill "to provida for the assessment and taxation of property." True, it contained one hundred and forty-nine sections, covered sixty-seven printed pages, and more than bah* of it was at the printers. True they had not thongbt much about the matter before, but it bad received the formal consideration of the Committee of Ways and Means, and been submitted for en? dorsement to the educated eye and bram of | the model Comptroller-General. It, therefore, must be correct. So, at an early hour of the morning they commenced work ; House full ; members all attention; th? Clerk read glibly, and the Speaker with mechanical exactness rattled off: "Allthosenfavripassinthi8sectiontothirdreadin g'll say, I-i-i-e-tbosoppoBedsaynotheiisaveitan thebilltoprovidcforthsesamonttaxationspassdt'i tsthirdreading." One hundred and twenty seven times between twelve o'clock noon, and three o'clock, P. M., was this formula or some? thing like it repeated. Now and then a mem? ber would make a motion concerning a subject which he fully comprehended, as for instance, "dogs." When this department was under treatment it was suggested that one to a fami? ly should be exempted from taxation. When 'musical instruments" were named, a mem tor considerately mentioned jewsharpB, an )ther flutes, and a third fiddles as proper ant? ee ts for exemption, because "they didn't pos jess any appreciable value." The very Rever? end William E. Johnson, of Sumter, even went io far as to desire that "neckties and umbre las" should be omitted from the category, on ?he ground that he had a proprietary interest m a stock of these articles himself. So the day wore on. A few kept steady ivatch and ward over the several sections of ?he bill as with lightning haste they were ?nabed through. A few went to sleep satisfied bat the others were on the look-out, but not in amendment was offered which changed the 'ace or shape of the bulky bill in the slightest legree. At three tbs House took a recess until half oast five, when the work of reading was re? lumed. By this time the reading derk was ?lean broken down, and Elliott was called upon 0 take his place. Later, when the gas was ighted, the room presented a beggarly array rt empty seats, with a parti-colored fringe of ipectators in the rear of the hall looking on nth dumb wonderment. The adjournment did lot take place till eight o'clock. One of the most intelligent colored members .emarked to me : "The whole thing seems like 1 farce. There are not ten men in the House vho know what they are doing, and this is the nest important bill of the session." We shall lave another dose of the same kind on the re? am of the bill from the Senate, when it will >e put upon its passage; and a still further in liction of the Military bill, which is another ipecimen brick of the long-winded species of | egislation which we have to endure. An outline of the other work done by the louse was furnished by telegraph. It has no jenora! interest, because not perfected. The nembers are painfully impressed by the ab tenoe of the wherewithal to meet the board md laundry bills, and every day or two has of ate witnessed an attempt to secure the anx ously expected per diem and mileage. The ?earest approach to success in this hue is the lill introduced by Whipper, that the State treasurer be authorized to cash the pay certi loates of members at the rate of seventy cents m the dollar in bills receivable. The object enable feature of this plan, however, is that ;he Legislature which pretends to be seeking O elevate the credit of the State is the first to lepreciate the only currency it possesses, be :auso the members will not patriotically re? ceive less than six dollars per day, nor trust a very uncertain future. Accompanying Whipper's bill was another, offered by DeLarge, from the Committee of Ways and Means, authorizing the Governor to make a loan of five hundred thousand dollars, for the purpose of redeeming the bills receiv? able, and to issue coupon bonds therefor, at six per cent, interest, payable in twenty years. Speaking of finance, the Governor asserts that if the Legislature will carry out his plans, the bonds of the State will, on the first of Janu? ary, be worth ninety cents on the dollar, and the interest due mil be paid for the correct year. He depends materially on the Tax bill, and behoves firmly that, when the people un? derstand that while it calls for a large amount -something over a million-the borden of taxation will fall more lightly noon each indi? vidual than ever before. The actual value of property is made the basis of taxation, and on this it is not contemplated to levy more than one-third of one per cent. I have conversed with no Southern man who bas examined the soheme critically, but am told that it embodies the best features of the tax laws of other States, adapted to our present condition, and will, as soon as its novelties are appreciated, be generally acceptable. Railroad interests are claiming not a little attention. The Charleston and Savannah Rail? road bill has been pushed through, the Senat? and will soon go before the House.' It met with opposition in the former body, but the very op? position bas strengthened the friends of the measure, and when it gets into the popular body it will probably gel through 'trdiekly. - From the statements of leading Republicans I am encouraged to indulge the hope that the Blue Ridge Railroad will be a subject.of earnest consideration by the Legislature during' the present session, and if any thing can be done to enable the company to resume its'giant task once more, the members are prepared to do it. Tbe congressional campaign waxes warm. Epping is here, and it is alleged has establish? ed a "gin' m?l" wherein h? expects several times to break the law that no man shall in any manner whatever bribe an elector to change, reserve or transfer his vote, Sec. Jenks and Whipper will contest the honors with Epping, unless Bowen shall succeed in satisfying his constituents that he is not rearing to Democ? racy and looking around for a soft place to fail in November. - PERSONNE/ . ja rc Ei-Govern or Pic ??C ns on" thc Situation of Affairs. . j - ' b". '? "'. h The Laurens ville Herald publishes a letter from the Hon. F. W. Pickens, in response to an invitation to address a Democratic meeting at that place. After alluding to the circum? stances which prevent bis acceptance, the ex Governor says : I am satisfied if the people were to meet and agree amongst themselves upon some plan bf fair and reasonable settlement of debts amongst each other, it would save much ill-feeling and really be better for the creditor as well as the debtor. It was a common war, in which we all engaged with enthusiasm, and all is lost; and we ought now to try and settle with each ether all old debts by liberal compromise. If we are freed through the courts by legal pro? cess, at least one-half of all property will be divided with the lawyers, clerks and general costs of suit. In nine oases out of ten toe land is the only thing left to pay with. The depress? ed prices for it will not settle more than one- . fourth of the debt attempted} to be collected. Who, then, is benentted by snob, a process? lt really is no bene fit to a man to see his neighbor ruined, and no one to get any profit except at? torneys, sheriffs, clerks and constables. In any general compromise that may be made, there must be particular cases of hardship, and may be great wrong, but if all are forced to settle? ment by legal process then there must be uni? versal ruin. Now, too, when the Radicals are about to inaugurate their courts, with negro junes and negro officers, and, what is worse, vile white skunks, who have betrayed their race, and are merely trying to plunder the State; under these (mcumBiauooe it io not only ino duty DUH tua duect interest of every oue who feels for his State, to cordially agree with his neigh' or upon some principle of compro? mise, or > ?ve every thing to arbitration made by. three or four men. I suppose you have seen the principle agreed upon by the mass meeting at Ed go bold, sale day,in April last. I prepared the report and resolutions, ' which were unanimously adopte 1 aud the people are, for the most part, making settlements upon these principles agreed upon by the people of the district. It suits should be brought I think the juries would bring in verdicts upon this basis generally. The upper districts will be first to move, for the desolation bf the war was not so great upon them, because they were not so much ravaged, and because they had more white population, and wherever there are more whites there will be more labor abd more productions. We never can be rich in our day and generation ; but what we need is abundance of provisions. We are too poor now to feed any population, and cannot support any great enterprise, be? cause we have no provisions to spare. If we had an abundant provision ct op, we would at least be independent, and would invite immigra? tion of white labor ; but, as it is, we have no means to feed white labor, on any large scale, for we can hardly feed ourselves. We could not retain foreign white labor if we had them, unless we bad more cattle and sheep, for white labor requires milk and cattle, and mutton and beef. And mutton and beef are easier and cheaper to raise now, with our waste lands, than hogs are, and far more healthy. The first thing to be done, then, by the upper dis? tricts, is to raise more provisions and less land in cotton ; then we can make provision for white immigration amongst us, and be able to support them. Jf we ooutd have a just and pure government, I think we could advance. If we will Bettie our debts, and plant less cot? ton and raise breadstufis, cattle and sheep, and bave less ambition for wealth, we would be a happier and more comfortable people. The lose of our slaves is nothing compared with the IOSB of character, integrity and man? liness. I at one time owned five hundred and sixty-B sven, and, as God is my~judge; I would not Have" them back as they were. I have been relieved of them by violence and brute force. The care, anxiety and responsibility that oppressed me m relation to them I now feel relieved of. True, the degradation and ruin of my State is a constant source of pain to me, particularly when 1 know, with high command? ing statesmanship in 1863 at the head of af? fairs, the result would have been different to our country. We now nave nothing left but to bear, with Christian resignation, our fate; at least, such is the case with those as old as I am. There is Borne hope, I suppose, of a change in the government from the election in November next. I trust it may be, and that God, in his' mercy, will still preserve us much of the con? servative principle of a constitutional govern? ment. I have the honor to be, Yours, ko., F. W. PICKENS. AT.AWAUTA FACTOBIXS.-It is gratifying to every lover of the true interests of Alabama to observe the growth of manufactories in the State. A short time since we visited Indian Hill, in Aututra County, and were delighted to find a magnificent cotton manufactory, where the hum of busy industry was beard, with cheerful, contented white labor. The factory building is a beautiful specimen of architec? ture, and the machinery, of the best English make. The goods manufactured are seven eight shirtings and four-four ihi etings. The texture ?B beautiful, and for durability wUI equal anv goods of similar character made in the United States. Diversity of labor is what Alabama needs, and if our people will encour? age the products of our own looma, where cot? ton can be spun and woven upon the very ground on which it is made, a brighter day would dawn upon our beloved State.-Mont? gomery Advertiser. VIBOLNIA RATLBOATS AHD WATEBLNO PLAOES. It is anticipated that the Virginia Central Rail? road will be extended by the beginning of the spring's season next summer to the White Sul? phur Springs. This will be a great conveni? ence to visitors to the watering places, and especially to the proprietors of the springs. Greater multitudes than ever would visit them if they possessed the usual facilities of trans? portation and communication. They are un? rivalled in the medicinal value of the waters, and unsurpassed in the grandeur and beauty of the surrounding scenery. Some of the most attractive of these sommer resorts are not yet directly accessible by railroad, and have not telegraphic communication. This last is espe? cially desirable, and those interested in the management of such places would do well to exert themselves to Becure lines as speedily as possible. POLITICAL SUMMARY. THE HERALD'S LAST SOMERSAULT-IT ABANDONS GRANT ADD THE RADICALS. The Bigu? of the times are too plain to be misunderstood by the New York Herald, and it ia backing and niling preparatory to a plunge into the clear waters of Democracy. Li its is? sue of Saturday last it says : Li the North the vote against the Republi? cans will be very heavy. Men know how far Democratic misrule would go, and what direc? tion it would take, and they do not know the limit of Radical madness. Judging it hy the Kat, they find it difficult to conceive that the publican fury has any definite limit. Hith? erto it has hesitated at nothing, has pushed recklessly on wherever hounded hy ambitious leaders, and rather than be dragged where such a party would go the people will take the chance of revolution with the Democrats. Republicanism, in fact, is driven to a point at which it is desperate. For two years it has stood- upon the defensive before the : people. Had the popular jealousy of its tendencies been less clearly shown it would have -pushed orr to the ex? tremity of confiscation and proscription ; for. .its leaders felt that these were neeessary paris of ita policy, that these alone could give it Bale, possession of what it had already won. With? out confiscation the results of negro suffrage wiU slip through its fingere. Without pro-, emption the Southern States'cannot be kept from the natural leaders of the Southern peo? ple. The Republican party of the future, there? fore, will be ready for any desperation, con? vinced from its past that tue greatest danger is in standing still. There ia, then, greater -reason ' than ever why it should be kept from Kwer, and thia the people, evidently fed. st year the gains against th?' Republican , party on Congressional-votes'had.wiped out' its former majorities and established ari equali? ty, and, constantly increasing, the gains will now make the balance ob the other side. Such a change aa we nave aeen in Oregon, and half such majorities as Kentucky has given, will present a total to astonish: and confound politi? cal philosophera. Lu another article it is still more severe updn the Radicals. We quote: Can any other'party inflict upon us evils woree than those we now suffer as the conse? quence of Radical misrule? Reconstruction by a system of legislation that deliberately forges calamity for a whole people, and prepares the social ruin of ten,States to secure power to a coterie of politicians-this ia the political crime that stamps the Radical faction as utter? ly damnable before the people. - Men inquire what the faction would stop at that would pur? chase such an end by such moana, and they know that it will not atop at anything sacred in the law and will respect the rights of the people in the North as little a?, it has done in the South. Does the name of Grant furnish any guarantee for the future of the Radicals ? The people are not ready to believe it. Grant ia politically only a promise and a possibility. Respectable men are not willing to doubt his honesty or his upright purpose; but' these do not always qualify for success in such a strife as he munt control to save the people from his party. He may prove capable: he may not. abd it is a time when the people cannot trust their future to such -a chanco. Therefore the doom of Radicalism seems to be burned into the popular brain. The case of the Presidency, therefore, judged by the main facts, seems to stand thus: The history of the Radical party is such that the people will not trust it again on any terms, and this conviction threatens to give the North to the Democrats. ' If, however, thia failB, there ia a possibility that Grant may be beaten by losing the whole South through the defection of the negroes, who will go over to the Demo? crats, partly led by the natural influenc?e of association and partly by resentment for the re? linquishment by the Radicals of that measure that waa from the first regarded as necessary to bus tai ri tboir political opposition ..tn ?hair former masters. THE CAMPAIGN UN HEW TOBE-DESPERATE EF? FORTS OF THE RADICALS TO SECURE THE GER? MAN VOTE-HOFFMAN FOB GOVERNOR. The New York correspondent of the Boston Post writes on the 12th inst.: . Grant's partisans rely chiefly on the German vote to carry New York. They are working early and late to secure German votes for their candidate, and spending money lavishly at the saloons and gardens where our Teutonic fel? low-citizens most do congregate. Tn the sec? tions where the German population is dense, Grant'clubs display their transparencies over lager beer saloons, and the members make il their business to go among the patrons of the saloons and talk Grant all the afternoons and evenings. There is a probability that the Ger? man vote for Grant will be considerably larger than the same vote for the Radical ticket .last year. The increase, however, will not be so great aa the men trying to work it up seem to expect. Germans are, as a rule, more de? liberative than other classes of foreign-born voters, and though they generally regard Grant as quite a hero in the field, they do not allow this estimation of him to blind them to the consequence of giving a new lease to the Radical party. They reflect that the Radical Earty deprived them of their Sunday recrea ons in this city and so burdened them with taxes that they aie no longer able to live in comfort. Although these considerations are more selfish than patriot ic, yet they are likely to exercise much influence at the polls, and they will certainly interfere with the calcu? lations made by the active workers for Grant. A good deal of money has already been paid ont ot the Radical election fund, and a good deal more will be paid, for the dissemination of Radical doctrines among the Germans. German Radical papers, which would otherwise hardly be able to live, are supported by subscrip? tions from the pockets of American Radicals, and distributed gratis among German readers. Several thousand copies of the Tribune are put to the same use, all with a view to converting German Conservatives to the tenets of Radi? calism. Thus far, however, it does not appear that many Germans care to be converted. At any rate, throe-fourths of those who voted the Democratic ticket last year are behoved to be food for Sev mour and Blair this year ; and the efection of one-fourth will be made good by accessions from the ranks which elected Lin? coln in '61 and Fenton in '66. Grant ia likely to get a larger German vote in New York than the Radical State ticket received in '67, when it was defeated by a majority of 60,000; but the mass of German voters, including nineteen twentieths of the Jews, will vote the Demo? cratic ticket, and do their share towards giving the 83 electoral votes of the Empire State to Seymour and Blair. It appears to be almost settled that Mayor Hoffman will be the Democratic nominee for Governor. The personal popularity of Hoff? man is not second to that of any man in the United States, and his sagacity and soundness as a statesman, though as yet he has had but a limited field for displaying these qualities, have won for bim the regard and confidence of every Conservative voter in New York. His name on the Democratic ticket would certainly strengthen it with the German element, and this consid?ration will not be overlooked by the Slate Convention. Immediately after his election last year to the Mayoralty, by a major? ity unparalleled in New York, the men who elected him declared that he should be their candidate this year for Governor, and they are as earnest for his nomination now as they were then. Although the Germans do a great deal of the voting in New York, they have as yet but a small share of the offices, and now desire the Democracy of the State to recognize their pow? er and services by renominating Hoffman, who is their most prominent representative. His name on the Democratic ticket would give it a prestige among the Germans that it cannot otherwise obtain. THE PROSPECT IN GEORGIA-FTP TY THOUSAND DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel says : The accounts which we receive from the dif? ferent portions of the State through our ex? changes and private letters, and personal ob? servai ion, inspires us with the belief that the canvass is so far progressing as effectively, and with far greater prospects of an overwhelming victory, than we had anticipated. The people everywhere are fully aroused, and the work of organization is being pushed with a vigor and enthusiasm heretofore rarely witnessed in the State. The fifteen or twenty thousand white voters who, seduced by the false promise of relief, or frightened by the silly bugbear of confiscation, voted with the Radicals in the late gubernatorial contest, are everywhere re? nouncing Radicalism aud returning to the true faith. Side by side with those prodigal sons of the white race we find thousands of the more Honest and intelligent negroes marching boldly to the rese?e of Democratic principles and the resto? ration of constitutional government. Wo have never known such sudden, exten? sive and overwhelming changes as hava been wrought within the last twenty days. We had calculated that, with the accession of the ten or fifteen thousand white votes dis? franchised by the Military bills, and the cer? tainty of a free election and an honest count of the ballots, we should carry the State by fifteen or twenty thousand majority. But the cur? rent of changes has set so strong with the Democracy-the demoralization of the Radi? cals is BO complete- the organization of the Democracy BO perfect-that if our friends con? tinue their exertions to the end of the cam? paign with only half the zeal and activity they now manifest we shall carry the State by forty or fifty thousand majority for Seymour and Blair. This is no wild prediction. It is based upon facts and figures which assure us of Its approx? imate certainty. MURDERS AT SEA-AN ENGLISHMAN HURDERS , Two or ma SHIP'S OFFICERS, AND IS HIMSELF KILLED BX AN AMERICAN.-The Dutch vessel Fennichiana arrived at Pernambuco on. the 25th of June with a cargo of Jerked meat from Montevideo. During the voyage the following; scenes took place : On the 18th the first mate (J. J. de Groth) ordered an Englishman called James Budger, shipped at Montevideo,io take' the wheel from him, when the latter struck the mate upon the head and knocked him down, i He then out his throat and threw the body into the sea. The cook, J. Bi em hold, wah awakened by the plash, and believing some ono- bad fallen overboard, began: to.shout "a man overboard," and to throw planks and ropea. into the water. While thus engaged, Budger sprang at him, split bj a head open with a' hatch-, et, - and threw hun into the sea. The captain and second mate were awakened by the nome, and the second mate, in coming up the com Banion-way, was struck at, but missed, by le hatchet wielded by Budger, and he jumped back, whereupon Budger. closed the hatch and piled chains on it to prevent it being open? ed by them. He then called the two rom arning men, an Englishman named Nicholas Chester and an American called John Hughes, and forc? ed them by fear of him to obey him. He then told them that he was about to scuttle the vessel and abandon her, but they persuaded him to wait unt? the Fessel was near land. On the 21st, Budger uncovered the hatch to see what was going on inside, and while so doing Capt. Hotze attempted to shoot him with a gun, but this missed fire. Budger then hastny cloeed the hatch, and called to the men on deck to put a large stone ontop. While he was wait-' lng for this the captain fired at guess, but the ball only scored nudger's leg. This, however, had the effect of alarming him. and he ordered the boat to be got ready while he himself made preparations for firing the vessel; but his'com? panions again dissuaded him from leaving ber so far from land. At night Cheater went to j bed, Hughes waa at the wheel, and Budger, who had not slept for. three days, laid down near it, armed,'and with -his hatchet dose to him, telling Hughes to wake him when land was in sight. In a few minutes he was fast asleep, and Hughes then left the wheel, and | seizing the hatchet, buried it in Bunger's bead, who tried to rise and draw his knife, but fell dead before a second stroke. Hughes then shouted that all was safe, and, after throwing the' body into -the sea,--opened the hatch, whereon, after some hesitation, the two im? prisoned men came on deck. No money or other valuable portable property existed on board to tempt cupidity, so that the ferocious conduct of Budger must have originated from a maniacal thirst for blood.
