Into that well it was supposed that the body of a mur? dered girl was thrown by her lover about sev? enty years ago. The man was defended by Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton and Edward P.

Every encouragement to immigration is to be given, and a line of emigrant steamships be ?ween Mobile and some German port is already contemplated. -A New York letter of Monday says: "The belligerent tone of Senator Chandler's speeoh this morning on our relations with England, coupled with his serious treatment of the sug? gestion that she should turn over Canada to us as a Anal settlement of the Alabama claims, creates some uneasiness among thoughtful men, aa tending to unnecessarily embarrass the negotiations about to be act oh fcot by Mr. Motley, and to maka the controversy more dif? ficult to deal with than ever. The Wall-street speculators managed to turn that speech to account, ia nuning up the premium ou gold ?nd knocking down tho prices of stocks. To add to the excitement, bogus dispatches from Washington have been freely exhibited in rc 3k?ontO our critical relations with spoin on the Cuban question. As soon aa these Mun ?hausenisma have, done their appointed work ia depressing value? two or three per cant., everything will be serene again* and our for? eign relations will be pronounced all right." -The Marshall, Texas, Republican, of the 9th In?*., gives the particulars of an affair in Rusk Cesntjj that fems a climax of horrors. weuinstMcei ?re as follows : "A young wa? by the name of Colonel Green, who ia said lo have Seen s new settler in the county, left Henderson, on Saturday evening last, In a state of intoxication, for home. When hs grot about ewe* taila* from town, on the Martha? road, &e stopped at the Widow Griffin place, where a body ofnegrces were making a crop, and order? ed bi* supper. While he was eating it he was seized by five negroes, who tied his hauds be? hind him, and dragged him about half a milo and hung him. They treated him very brutal? ly, throwing him o^er ibo fonoos as they roach? ed them, bruising his face and otherwise mal? treating him. While he was hanging they rolled back a log, dug a trench, throw him iu it b.-fore lifo was extinct, and then rolled tho log back to its former place. Two of the negroes were preachers. The principal ono ongagod in tho murder (Julius Jones) stood by with a gun, directing tho others, and telling thom he would kill the first one that flinched. Tho same ne? gro went the next day to Henderson, proaohed a sermon, and baptized fourteen negroes. Green is represented as a refinod, intelligent, accomplished (rentloman, but who occasion? ally, unfortunately, got intoxicated. His friends, missing him, it seems found his horse at this plantation, and his hat at ono of the cabins. On searching for him, they traced his footsteps upon the route ho had boon carried, and found a lottor that had been dropped out of his pocket. Five negroes were arrested, who confessed the crirno; ?nd were taken to Henderson and placed in jail. This was on Monday. O i Tuesday night, about ll o'clock, a mob went to the jail, and hung every one of them on tho publio square fronting eaoh side of the courthouse, the two preachers together." CHAHLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 28, 18?. Thc Mn y Klee ti ons. Until the general eleotions which take plaoe in October, 1870, there can be no thorough change in the political and phys? ical complexion of the General Assembly of the State. Eleotions will, however, be held from time to time to fill vacancies caused by the death or resignation of mem? bers, whioh will give an opportunity of in? creasing, in some degree, the white strength of tho Lower House. There are, besides, many oounty and township offices to be filled, and so important ?B it to obtain as rapidly a? possible the oontrol of our looal affairs, that the most earnest efforts should be made to elect in every instance a known and responsible citizen. The oounty and township officers are brought into immedi? ate contact with the people. They hav< great power in encouraging good feeling oi promoting dissension. It rests with them in a great degree, to determine what abai be the county taxation. And apart fron the intrinsic value of the office, and apar from the influence whioh it may exert upoi the publio mind, we hold it to be of tin greatest consequence to Bhow at once tba we do intend that the State shall not al ways be governed by ignoranoe and vioe This cannot better be done than by eieotini good men to every office for whioh an elec tiojn may be held, and this must be don without regard io the apparent importanc of the office,. Small victories will keep ou people together. They will encourage thei to be hopeful and confident, and, in thi way, will have a moral pawer, a bracin foroe, out of all proportion to the inttrinsi value of the offioes themselves. A begin ning should be made at once, and the oooa sion presents itself id the eleotions ordere to be held on the 25th May. On that day two county commissioner and a ooroner will bo elected in Abbe viii and in Georgetown; a oounty oommisBione and a school commissioner in Barnwell; judgo of the probate oourt, a ooroner an a oounty commissioner in Fairfield; a sch oe oommissioner and a ooroner in Anderson In Laurens, in Orangeburg and in Richland i ooroner in Chester, in Chesterfield, i Bdgefield, in Oeonee, in Pickens, in Bum ter and in Union; a probate judge and ooroner in Colleton; a clerk of thc com and a ooroner in Darlington; a county oom missioner and a ooroner in Kershaw, i Lexington and iu York, and a oounty oom missioner in Korry. Every one of these offioes is important, an none more so than that of judge of the probat oourt and oounty commissioner. The count commissioners have jurisdiction over roadi highways, ferries, bridgeB, "and in all ma "tera relating to taxes and dlsbursemen ?of money for county purposes, and i "every other case that may be necessary i ?the internal improvement and lobal coi "cerna in their respective counties." Th? raise money, they apportion taxes, ai have the. power to levy a tax of three mil on the dollar i which would represent total county taxation of over half a milli? ef dollars. Their authority has apparent very little lisait other than their own di oretion; and it surely is a duty which i owe to ourselves a's business men, ai in who desire that the State should prospc as men who wish that the freedmen m have full work at fair wages, that we sh on open this commercial campaign without moment's delay, and atrive aa hard to el? the oounty commissioners, probate judgt coroners, and others, as though wo wt again on the eveof a Presidential eleotii We do not regard the eleotion bf th? officers as a party question; but as long ninety-nine one hundredths of the reept table white mon of tho State are Dem o ora we must expect it to be said that what want is not a responsible candidate, bul B-smoctratie ?iuLory. Tais we cannot he Taking it for granted that we will only v for men who know what their official dut: are, and who have sense enough to d charge them properly, where can we outside of the Democratic party? T may be an embarrassing conclusion to oo to; but it is the truth, nevertheless, ant may be said further, that if we were willi tc arrange a mixed ticket the Radicals wo foroe the dlreot question by aominatin straight party ticket These matters of detail may, hewet bs safely left in oharge of Ahe citizen* the different oounties. All that we des at this moment ts to inpress upon them necessity of obtaining possession aa r idly as possible of every elective offiot the SUte. Hitherto tko Radic?is have 1 things pretty much their own way. W they win now they must win by hard fi| ing, and not by Ute supineness of our \ plo. Every oounty will, we trns^ bi the work at once, and If they labor qui? and steadily, there will be a tale to tel) the 26th of May whioh will encourage whole State, and teach thc Radical pe that Ute revenues and wealth of South ( clin? will not for long be controlled by native born adventurer or th? sch?? foreign knave. Corn and Cotton In Georgia. We seo it stated in the Columbus and M noon papers that the crop in Georgia this year is about equally divided between corn and ootton. Should the seasons be favora? ble, corn will bo lower than it has been for ten years. It is generally manured and the stand was never better. ? At present, it is too early to say much about cotton. The Macon Journal says emphatically: "There ?will not be any more land in cotton in "South Western Georgia this year than "there was last." It is not yet too late to plant corn in South Carolina. Half corn and half ootton should be our motto. We do not wish to be prophets of evil ; but w.e know that, unless we make breadstuffs enough to relieve us from the necessity of buying them in the North and Wost, the ootton crop of 1869 1870 will do th.9 State at large, thc plantera and the farmers, but little lasting good. The money received for the ootton will be paid away for corn, and so will end the chapter. Fertilisers and General Freiguts.

The Grain Trade or inc West. The simultaneous movements at St. Lome and New Orleans, of which we have had tele? graphic accounts, in connection with the grain trade, are nothing loss than an effort to divert tbe grain expoi ts of the Northwest from the route via Chioago, Buffalo and New York to Europe, and make the Mississippi River the great channel for this trade. The movement seems to have started in St. Louis, which is anxious to become the great grain emporium of the Mississippi Valley. Meetings have been held, glowing speeches made, and considerable money subscribed for the promotion of tb at object. Tho ^Missouri Democrat publishes in prominent type a list of tho subscribers under the caption, "The Roll of Honor." A meeting was held at the Merchants' Exchange on the 13th, at which additional subscriptions to the St. Louis Grain Association were taken up, and speeches were delivered which illustrate tho prevalent feeling of those engaged in the movement. It was declared that they want to export grain to Europe, and that Iowa, Minne? sota, Southern Illinois and Wisconsin wore tired of being swindled by Chicago speculators,^ railroad combinations, New York middle-men, &c. They were begging to trade with St. Louis, and wherever they sell they will buy. It was urged, therefore, that more capital be put into the business. Mr. Stannard said that grain can be landed in Liverpool seventeen cents cheaper via St. Louis and New Orleans than through New York ; to-day it costs fifteen and sixteen cents on the Erie Canal alone, and it is loss than that from St. Louis to New Orleans. At the meeting at New Orleans, on the 17th, of the Chamber of Commerce, "the special com? mittee reported ii. favor of organizing a grain association, with a capital of $200,000, the directora and officers to be elected as soon as $50,000 is subscribed." Ten thousand dollars, we ore told, was subscribed on the spot towards carrying out this project. It is evident that the movement is an earnest one all along the Mississippi. St. Louis already bas grain ele? vators on both sides of the river, and if the present project is carried out, tbe railroads coming into St. Louis will be run so dose to the river that oars can be unloaded at once upon steamboats and barges.
