QUEL.-A sad case of seduction, which led to tBe slaying of the betrayer, is reported from Edgefield District. The facts, as given in the Augusta Constitutionalist, are these: Tbe family of the young lady concerned rank* among the most respectable of Edgefield County. The villain who wrought ber ruin is a young ma? wuo formerly lived in Augusta, J. D. Cresswell. This young man conducted a farm m tbe neighborhood of the family, ind had been welcomed into the most intimate as? sociation with the father, bi otber and daugh? ters. Every facility in their power bad been eheerfally afford A to contribute to bis material interest & and to promote his social e juyment. He had been treated rai her as a member of the family than as au acquaintance, and each bad been his se ming honorable deportment that no breath of suspicion was Btirred against bim until his baseness culmi? nated in the rum of a dm gb. ter of the household. Stung to desperation, the brothers ?ought the author of the ruin of a loved sister, and demanded a reparation of the wroog at the marriage altar. IbistJjas in the early part of last week. UressweM acceded to tbe demand, and mounted his boise to accompany the young men to have the ceremony performed. On the road, however, bia vi lian v again assert? ed its supremacy aad being mounted on a swift horse, be gave them the sup at a favor? able locality and made his escape, a.tbousrb they discharged their pistols at him aa he fl d. Since then these young man and their sympa? thising friends have been in active search tor the young man who bas so grievously wiong ed them, and it was reported here yesterday that one of the brothers: had traced him to Stat iou 96. on the Greenville *ud Col urania Railroad ?here* fae overtook bim on Saturday fight and shot and kilted bim. It su ah is tbe fact, it is a Just retribution. OVJt SAVANNAH VISITORS. What they i nougat of the Riot- A Hint to Charleston in Regard to the Man? agement of 1) ls orderly Aegroea. The Favannah papers, or yesterday, COD tah long accounts or the visit of their Base Club to Charleston, and its incidents. We quote: HOMEVf ABD BOUND. Abou AB hour after leaving Charleston, a meeting was held in the saloon of the steamer: General Robert fl. Anderson in the cbeir, and Mr,:* C. Kimball acting as secretary. A handsome collection was taken up lor tbe ben? efit of the band. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That we tender the members of the Carolina Clnb aud our Charleston friends, wbo so nobly stool by us in the trying and uo exoected scenes through wbiob we bave juBt passed, our moat heartfelt thanks, and that we convey to them a sense ot our appreciation ot their many courtesies expended to us dunner our visit, and the bouoteaus hospitality ot which we have just partaken. Resolved, That wbde we feel with them a jnst indignation at tbe indignities offered us and our band, we cannot in tbe slightest de irreo attribute it to any want of attention or off it ts at protccti m ou the part of our hosts, with whom W9 deeply sympathize, placed as they seemed to be at tbe mercy of an ignorant, brutal mob, through the culpable and uotoncus inefficiency of their civil government. * Hesoloea, That we tender our thanks to the commandant of the military and bis gentle? manly officers for their prompt and effi J tent me tBures to quell the riot, and for their pro? tection to us as visitors, which the city au? thorities were either unwilling or unable to render. . " **A SAD STATE OF THINOS." Under this heading, ihe Republican bas tho following comments upon the not: Negro mob law seems to bo-triumph ant in our sister city ot Charleston, except, when the United States troops think proper to come to the assistance of tue citizst.s. Tho affair on Monday evening, while the Savannah Eas J Ball Club were about takinc tbeir depaiture. would be a disgraoe to any mtv. lb-re must be some? thing lamentably wrong when a mob of idle negroes are allowed to attack uuoflendiog par? ties and do pretty muon as they please. Ihe Savannah party, it appears, , thong ti guarded by soldiers, was followed to the boat by these booting, yelling demons, who showered stones and. brickbats upon them, and yet not a gun was fired upon the marauders. 1 it possible that Charleston confesses as die her Mayor op this occasion, tbat the lawless negroes of tbe city are omnipotent? Has she yielded that nfuch ia this day of her humiliation? We hope not. The whites are always to blame for these disgraceful scenes when unchecked. A litt e nerve and firmness, and tbe killing of a few leaders, are all that is necessary to pot them ?own and deter tbeir repetition, in this re? spect Savannah has nothing to fear. There is apt a moro peaceable, well behaved and order* ty negro population in the Union than we have here, and it is all owing to the thoroughness of Ihe polios and firmness of the citizens generally. We have bad negroes amongst us sod a few are generally responsible for these mobs-but they are made to \ now their plaoes, and that punishment is thd*sure consequence of a violation ot the ltw. -. s ni"?a* ? ? THE SUEZ CASAL. A Colossal Work-How it was Accom? plished -Expectations ox* ats CseiUneaa. The progress of ihe great work of tb* Suez Canal, tinder the charge of M. de Lesseps, na? turally at trao'.s a large share of public atten? tion; andan interesting surrey of the ente? prise, by E. Hepple Hall, has jnst been pub? lished as the illosti at ed supplement of Apple? ton's Jon rna], from which we take the most prominent facts : The canal itself is a vast ditch, one hundred miles in length, three hundred feet wide at tbe top, from ooo hundred to one .hundred and finy feet wide at the bottom, with an average depth of twenty-four feet, connecting four natural lakes, which are Bitaatod tt d.atancea from ten to fifteen miles from each other, aud discharging at either end into a great inland nes? Stupendous difficulties attend the construc? tion of the work, and threatened to make it when finished, of no permanent utility. Promi? nent among these were tho sand storms of the de -erl, which would fill up the ditch, and de post s : of the Nile, which would obstruct the entrance with bars. To avoid damage from the sand storms great barriers of sand fifty feet high have been raised on either side of the canal. To provide against the gradual ac cunrulation of bars, two enormous jet ti s or breakwaters have boen carried out into fha Mediterranean,'one twa thousand yards and the other two thousand, seven, hunured yards in length. The mechanical appliances, ex ia vators dredging machines, ?c., Ac., requited for these operations, wera erected on the va J st colossal scale and at a. vast expenditure of money. No looks are require 1 along the line from one end to the other, tho wholo area of the Bitter Lake?, which axe estimated to contain nine hundred million tons of water, bafficing to btoak the current aud regulato tho flow of the water from sea to sea. . Port Said on the Meditoiranean, and Soez on tbo Rad Sea, are tbe termini of the canal, i Under the stimulus of so important au under? taking, necessitating the employment of so many artisans, artiffcsri and laborers, and so great an outlay of money, these ports have rapidly increased in population, and nave boen greatly improved by the company and tbe Egyptian Government. When the canal shall have been fully completed, however, they will be mere points of temporary stoppage f ir tho steamers of the Peniosular and Oriental Com- i pony and other linea, which will then ead di? rectly from the ports of Europe to tho ports of India. . i During th 3 year 1668, 2088 vessels, aggrega? ting 674,048 toos burthen, arrived at Port Said. ? and 270.000 tickets were issued by the Transit i Service According to the estimate of M. de i Lesseps this amount will be increased to 3,000. 000 tons per annum the first year after the completion of the canal, and that daring sue- i coed ng years will be doubled. A recent le ter from Mr. Lange, t :e English representative of the Suez Canal Company, : furnished some information supp emenuuy io ? Mr. Hall's article. Mr. Lange writes : "the rate for all kinds of merchandise (coals excepted) from Fort Said to Suez is 25 troncs per French ton; for coals, 21 francs per | French ton of 1000 kilogrammes, aud 20 francs i per ton for cargoes of 800 French tone. To ; this must bs added the charges for loading or unload ng at Port Said, from' sain iuto the : < company's barges, and nee tei sa, 2 francs 75 i centimes per ton, and further 1 franc 75 ? centimes per ton on or from the quay at j Suez-iu all 4 francs 50 centimes per French ton, to the rates above name i for 'ordi? n?r/ morcbandiso and coals. 1 may men- , tion that 1000 tons of coals were being con? veyed* th.oo.gli tho cant). ?rom Tort Said to j Saez for account of the Peninsular and Orien- ; tal Company, and arrangements, entered iot> . for the conveyance of 3000 tons more, i The offic al receipts arising Irom tolls ending me 1st of November last, amounted to i 10?0,221 trabes 91 centimes, lhere uro th ir- i teen s<earners monthly plying between Port i Said and AJ ex tn dna, and sixteen between , Alexandria and Port, Said,; also s.x steamers : monthly between Saez, Hong K mg, tinta pore. Penang. Bombay, Calcutta, Madras. Ans- i traba &o, tb as forming a chain of corresoon ding links between Europe and tbe Ea t, through the Suez Canal, of which shippers can , avail thoms3lves for out aod home shipments. It is fully anticipated, a *c u*ding to the present ; rate at which the excavations are being car- ; ried on. that the Saez Canal will be open tor : the anbrokeo passage of large vessels on or i before the let of October next year." Altnough the final opsuuit of ins work for ships of the larges: class canuot take place , for more than twelvemonths from the present : time, the formal ceremony of the wedding ot ' the oceans will be celebrated with Oriental j pomp on the 13th October or the curreat year. Silkeu eu ts. gay with the fi ms of all nat?o ia, j will be pitched under the snadow of the Pyra? mids, and all the crowned heads of Europe have ' been invited to grace the august occasion with their proaenoc. ? Artet all. grand as the work is, and worthy ; ot the nineteenth ceutniy. the canal is yet an experiment, and it remains to bs seen whether i ?r not it will fatly justify the prophesies of its ; originators in revolutionizing tte commerce . of Cae world. It has been too reault ot Freaca genius aud enterprise, and if it provd a com meroial success toe pecuniary returns will ba chiefly from British pockets. TEE TEEGER CASE. Verger's Freak- and Follies-Ktminla? ce nee? of hil Tooth, hil Clime and Fea? sible Insanity-ihe Militai y Commis? sion-Letter from an Old Friend of the Family. ? decision bas been rendered by the military commission at Jacksoo, Mississippi, in tee Terger case; bat the finding and sentence are to be kept secret until after tbe approval of the proceedings of the commission by tbe authori? ties at Washington, Colonel Barr, assistant judge advocate, has returned to Washington with the papera, and the commission has ad? journed ta the 21 of August. A Vicksburg let? ter to the Cincinnati Commercial gives the following interesting review ot this extraor? dinary caa? : Allow a Mississippian, who knows something of tbe facts of the case, and a good deal of the Tercer family aad the antecedents ot Edward M. Terser, to tell you a few things that will go to show First. That thc homicide haJ not the slight? est political or sectiorol significance. Secondly. Tuat it is not a crime to be pun? ished ; and Lastly." That it is a calamity wbicb ought to have been prevented. The Terger family is a numerous ono, of the best standing, and more than usually intelli? gent. The madness of Colonel Terger and this culminating trouble will not eclipse it. Ed? ward's father was, without exception, one of the best of men. If be had a fault, it was indulgence of this youth. The boy was bright, and in make and deportment such as would d.-iigbt a fatber's heart and gr. t if v bis pride. From 2D to 25 Ed. Verger was the Chester? field ot Mississippi, and in dress a Bean Brum? mell, lhose who remember him will admit that, if not tbe handsomest, he was the best aud most exquisitely dressed man in Missis? sippi. His flue person, bearing and style were just sufficiently tempered with a love of ap? probation to tone down the imperiousness of j an almost overpowering vanity. Tet be was not a fan? representative of our Southern youth; he bad vastb' too much conceit. It Alls me with Bomeihin r akin to scorn for this man, when I think of the thousands on thou sands of our youth, with Iiis graces of per? son, with more than bis culture, and a thou? sand fold more honor aud courage, (as after events proved,) t'.e pride .of our bornes, tbe hope of our hearts, who were literally swept from the earth in their de vol ion to the South? ern cause during onr -olamitons struggle; but I have promised you facti, not sentiment?. Before the war Colonel Yerger conducted things in great state. Tbe turnout he provid? ed for Mrs. Terger was finely appointed. He was never to be seen in my lady's carriage. Be himself drove a splendid team, with live? ned servants and appointments to match. His house, still standing, ii a fino o e, per? haps the largest, excepting the Execntive maur sion, that Grant and Sherman left, lt is sad for me to visit Jackson now and behold the wreck that is of its former self. Before the war H was what it now professes tobe, but it it is not, the capital of tbs State. Then our richer planters often settled here for the sake of society and.the education of their daugh? ters. Jackson and thene'ghborhood contained many beautiful residences, homes of wealth and refinement, with surroundings belonging to an order of -finuge now past, bnt that seem from this distance to hare bad a bolo of grace and beauty peculiarly their own. I look in vain for those fine nome3 ead j not?. The chimney stacks ol many of them still stand, m grim'mockery, amid the desola? tion of their once char anne grounds. So nu? merous were, our chimney stocks ot ono time, that at Vi?Kaburg we spoke of Jackson as Chimney vil e., Colonel Terger's family, in wealth and posi? tion, was among tho tiret. How, Iknovnot, whether tho war or his newspaper enterprises, or both combined, but certain it is that this bran ch of the Terger family is now poor. Terger has. until this trouble, lived in bis flue home; but I verily believe that his refusal to pay bis taxes aroae from sheer inabitiiy. i tnihit u may have bess said with truth that before this unfortunate occurrence Colonel Terger's family was the poorest and proudest in Jackson. Of course I mean relatively. A man who needs fifteen thousand dollars a year to keep un bis establishment, and who could only, with the most stingy economy, do it on ten thoa-and, but who bas todo it in some way or another on five thousand or leas, is poor indeed. This ? as Tenter's condition. Now recall the circumstasces attending the seizure of the piano. A respectable and lead? ing family, with their just pnde and assoc* tions, owing Borne turee or four hundred dot lars delinquent totes, but believing in o coun? ter claim of ot least dontle the amount, for damages done their property by an overflow, for which the city was supposed to be respon sible. ' To satiify the city's claim a levy i* or? dered. The sheriff tod officers of the law, arm ed with the Mayor's authority, with an express cart and a sufficiont number of sid* hired for the occasion, force an entrance to the house The household is frightened, the piano, a cherished instrument, owned by tho wife be? t?re her marriage, is seized, and for tho first lime in the hietary of Jackson a respectable family is seemingly insulted, outraced and dis? graced. Cdonel Terger was in Memphis at the tim?. Io a man of ordinary type euch o proceeding would have been a deep, bitter, galling humiliation; to a man of Yergtr'd tem? perament it w:s not merely maddening-it made bim mad-and the result is what wo now denlore. , , I have inquired of masy persons why Colo? nel Crane, a man uniformly well spoken of. could have acted in this unfeeling war, when Yerger had a bona fine claim og unst tho city fer ot least txiee the amount of these taxes. I am told that Colonel Cross wos urged to do it, some soy by those high in authority here; that be was twitted with cowardice, that he feared to do his duty 4c. My own opinion is that some base souls here, envious and craven hearted, sought the humiliation of this family, and tested not till it was aceomr liahed through official interference, but in sn :b o way as to save their own skins. The trouble was pro? voked; a worthy mm iud good officer has lost bis life. Why I think it a calamity, and no crime punishable by law, I can tell in a few sen? tences Dar ng a recent visit I made to Jackson. I spent one da? at the barracks, where tbe mill . torr commission is being nell, and listened to tbe testimony of one ot tbo medical experts, a physician of ability and good standing, and who hod for many years known Colonel Yer? ger and his kindred. The physician detailed aom8 of tho hallucinations he hod himself wit? nessed, and eave his opinion of others that bad been deposed to by othes. He expressed bis sonviotion that tnera was bat one. rational explanation ; that it was a Case of moral mania, o derangement of the moral fatuities, bat where tho intellectual faculties were in a great measure undisturbed. I confes? that tbo testimony of ibis r. ysi cian let considerable light into my own mind. [ had again ond again heard of Terger's. eccen? tricities, bnt I had not beard of many of ibo absolutclv crnzv acta detailed in the testimo? ny, ond which, occurring for tbe most part in his own house, had been kept from tbe public. [ had known of many of his un paral eled con? ceits a"d as I supposed, Buporabounding vani tv. I u?od to lough when my fr>end, the edi tor of the Memphis-, would repeat to me dispatches be occasionally received from tbis genius. Tbo usual strom ran time: '"Colonel E. M. Terger toe undoubted leader of the Mia? siaaippi Press, baa announced his intention " Ac ; ' Colonel E. M. Yerger. of Jackson whoso position os bead of In's par y, and whose nu? ques io ned ability." Ac. Peor Yergfr 1 At the time the Democratic Convention was held m New York. 1 heard ot pome of the un? accountable conceits of E l. Tercer conceits DOW solved, bu' that came rcrv near breeding grove di?'uibances at the time. General Freeman, ond other delegates from 'his Slate, felt som? astonishment an 1 no little annoy? ance that so little attention was paid, and so few cards left for tho.,-Mississippi delegation. The usual attentions and courtesies were al? most entirelv wanting, lt was soon accounted for. Ed. Teiger, with his damnable effront? ery, (this was the explanation giren to me,) bod ordered tbe clerk ot tbe hotel to send all the cards for the Mississippi delegation to his room, ond it was done. He was the Missis? sippi delegation, the honors should, therefore, be his. Daring that memorable convention a little event transpired rhicb, for certs in reasons^ recall with peculiar interest. Mrs. Sena or -'nrv-ed Colonel Tirger to one of ber tecoptiou8. Whether others ot the Missis? sippi delegation were iori ed or not I om not DOW positive, but oar hero alone went. Mrs. -- was, aa she always ie, enchanting; "she hared herself with the grace of an houri;" so I Ed. Yerger said, "but I captivated, 1 perfectly vanquish ed her." It i3 convincing evidence to my mind that Tergor is morally and legally irresponsible for the terrible deed be has committed, that be bas, as I am credibly iuformed, no realizing seoae of the heinonsnes < of his offence. His manner in the courtroom in tero j ted mo. He pretended to be reading a newspaper most of the time, bnt when some point in tho test i mony would arrest bis attention, he wonld lift his eyes over hie glasses, as they were peicbed upon his nose, dire cc them toward thc witness with a son of half inquiry, half pitying con? tempt, as mach as to say : "What will tbe idiot say next?" You could not say.be was in the least interested in tbe testimony; at the same time he seemed not nnconBciouj that it was testimony that migbt save his Ufe. I reached the courtroom beiore the opening of the commission, and just as Yerger, his five orstx guards with fixed bayonets, and tbe officer of tbe guard came marching into the rocm. Yergor was han Scoffed and manacled, bat the chain was lODg enough to permit a tol? erable stride. Yere er came on. bolt upright, Clanking his chain perfectly unabashed, neither brocen nor bent. 1 caught bis eye. at least I bave no doubt of it, bnt be deigned no r?cog? nition. His handcuffs were removed as soon as he cime into court. No sane man, unless hardened io crime, which Yerger ia not, canld bear up under this ordeal as this man does. Colonel Yerger is fortunate in bis counsel. The most striking circumstance in the ourt room, next to seeing a civilian andan old friend tried by United statt? officers ia hallion epau? lettes, was tbe airav of counsel. Mississippi might be searched in vain to match William Yerger, Harris, H.mrall, Ander--on and Mar? shall as lawyers. They are tbe pride and the flower of tbe Slate. ' And how admirably, how patiently, how thoroughly they are managing the cate 1 All that ability and m ea LB can do ta being done for Yerger, and; let me say, in the interests ot lair and justice. The c nun) i.-sion are apparently officers ol in? telligence Whatever their prejudices may be. they look like men quite able to decide, even ni an unusual case like this, wiih justice and judgment. Tbe president of tho commis? sion, General S*itt, a medic il office. I judge ly his green sash, and probably selected for this reason -is a man o" ?rapoaiog appejrance, and. judeing by a fow words I beird from bim in calling tbe commission to order, is a person of culture and ability. The two judge advocates, who represent the government in tbe prosecution, showed ho lack of zeal in endeavoring to account for all ot poor Yerger's crazy tricks o o the groa nd ol intoxicaron and delirium tremens. Those who know Yerger woald never attempt tbe so? lution of the problem in this way. It is not your bard drinker, who, for instance, delivers a speech in Naw Orleans, and is so o ver pleased with bis exploits that nothing short ot presen? ting himself with a carnage, ou behalf of bis admirers, will satisfy him. But enough. Poor Yerger should never have b?eu allowed to commit this deed. His friends are to blame that he should have been allowed to bo habitually armed. Justioe will not per? mit him to be hanged, but, for the rest of his life, be should be confined. Wy gossip would be i complete-wero I to omit maying that Colonel Yerger is nota type of a Southern man, and is very far from being dear to SouthernMpaVts. When conscription was the law ot our necessity. Colonel Yorker forsook his friends, sought shelter at the Fede? ral headquarters at Vicksburg, and betrayed cowardice and disloyalty to his action by tell? ing all be knew or could learn of the Coa fed?? rate movements. MATRIMONIAL BROKERAGE. A PlUladelpb.l? Institution-How lt la Managed-Nobody Seed Despair. A singular swindle has jnst sprung into ex? istence at Philadelphia, and in novelty, at least, baa never been equalled in this country, or in any other: irs Korro. ."Lotas search the world over, titting the wheat from tne co.ojr, tbircV? ? human race." AU this is supposed to mean matrimony, sud as tbo American people are a cold-hearted race, tba considerate organizara of this colossal fraud propose to found a Ma? trimonial Department of the Fir it Progressive Christian Church of Philadelphia through whose instrumentality, and for tho very mo? derate consideration of a fee of from live dollars from every male, and three dollars from evury woman, husband* may bo found f jr wives, and wives tor husbands. Their "sa? credly confidential examinations circular" (as they oall it) informs us of the fact that these religious swindlers regard matrimony ai the '.highest and h?hest fonctions of the True Church, and conduct this department in per? fect confidence." The facilities which they have oo band to further tho interests aud se? care the success of this holy enterprise, they tell us, are great. They have a r BTV ATE BOOK OF BEQI3TB7, Which will contain thc nam:, address, tem? perament, conditions of health, circumstances, position, business, age, religious faith, if any habits, desiree, Acc., of each applicant. We forgot to mention, that this concern is oct without its 'conditions" and ifs shares Ol "ifs," fur it is emphatically act forth in italics that the fees must be forwarded with the applica? tion for registry, or no notice will be taken of it; and furthermore, that every subsequent lot? ter of inquiry or business must have a three peony postage s'amp enclosed. This is very significant, It gives us to un? derstand that thc lnairiaiouial department is conducted on economical principles. Then, lectures being tbe order ot the day, a little ad? vice is given to applicants. They are expected to honestly and cand;dly give full particulars, filling out the blank spaces ia truth and sin? cerity. They threaten t j visit a mist condign exposure ou those who play false. References as regards honesty will ba required, but the person referred to will net learn for what pur? pose such reference ia asked. MATCHED. As soon as a caso is recordel in the Private Bock of Registry, they seek to match bis or her case. If it is lound that they have a con? genial, and to all intents a proper one, they forward the man's photograph to the woman, and rice versa; that is. if they are not near enouchto be personally introduced to each other; for if they are, then, of course, the par? ties eau Bettie the matter at once and conclude tho bargain, the department takes many pre? cautions to keep things mum until ibo grand eruption.
