A CASE OF SEDUCTION AND ITS .TERRIBLE BE QUEL.-A sad case of seduction, which ltd to tbe slaying of tho betrayer, is reported from Edgefield Dis ti ict. The facts, as given in the Augusta Constitutionalist, aro these: The family of the young lady concerned rank? among the most respectable of Edgefield County. The villain who wrought ber rum is a young man Who formerly lived in Augusta, J. D. Cresswell. This young man conducted a farm in the neighborhood or the family, wnd had been welcomed into the most intimate as? sociation with the father, bi other and daugb tors. Every facility in their power had been cheerfully afford A to contribute to his material interests, sud to promote his social e< Joyment.

The Fuvannah papera, of yesterday, oontaii ong accounts of the viait of their Baeo Ball Dlub to Charleston, and ita incidents. We quote: HOMEWARD BOTJHD. Abou' sa hour after leaving Charleston, a -, neeting was held in the saloon of the steamer; j jeneral Robert H. Anderson in the chair, aud < dr. G. C. Kimball acting as secretary. A . ?andsotae collection was taken up tor the bon- ^ ;fit of thc baud. Thc followiug resolutions . vere unanimously adopted : J Resolved, That we tender the members of < he Carolina Club and our Charleston trieada. j who so nobly stoo 1-by us in the trying and un- *j jxoected scenes through which we have just mased, our most heartfelt thanks, and that we 1 vuivey to them a sense ot our appreciation ot < heir many courtesies extended to ut? dining mr visit, and thc bouutesus hospitality of ?rhich we have just partaken. Resolved, Ihat while wo feel with them a ?ust indignation at tho indignities offered ua ind our baud, wo cannot in the slightest do? rree attribute it to any want of attention or ff a ts at protecti in ou tho part of our hosts, ,vith whom wo deeply sjmpathize. placed a? ,?ey seemed to be at the mercy of an ignorant, jrutal mob, through the culpable and uotoricus nefflciency of their civil government. Resoloeu. That wo tender our thanlts to tho commandant of the military and hie geotle nanly officers for their prompt and efficient no isures to quell the riot, and for their pro? motion to us as visitors, which the city uu bontiea were eithec unwilling or unable to render. '?A SAD STATE OF THINGS." Under this hea?ing, the Republican has the following commenta upon tho not: Negro mob law seems to be triumphant in >ur sister city ot Charleston, except when the Jnited 43tateB troops think proper to come to he asBintauce of the citizsi s. The affair on Monday evening, while tho Savannah Base Ball Dlub were about taking their depaiture. would io a disgrace to any city. lhere moat be somo hing lamentably wrong when a mob of idle leprroeB are allowed to attack unoffending par? ies and do pretty much as they please. Tho savannah party, it appears, thougji guarded jy soldiers, was followed to the boat by these looting. > oiling demons, who showered stones ind brickbats upon them, and yet not a gun vas fired upon tho marauders, ls it passible hat Charleston confesses, as did her Mayor ja this occasion, that the lawless negroes of tue city are omnipotent? Has she yielded that much in this day of her humiliation? We hope not. The whites are always to blame for these Jis'jraceful f-cenes when unchecked. A litte nerve and firmness, and the killing of a lew leaders, are ill that is necessary to put them 3owu and deter their repetition! In this re ipect Havannah has nothing.to tear. There is jot a more peaceable, well behaved and order y negro population in the Union than wo have 3i re, and it is all owing lo the thoroughness )f the police and firmness of the citizens generally. We have bad negroes amongst us ind a few are generally responsible for these nobs-bnt tbe.v are made to tnow their placee, ind that punishment is the sure consequence )f a violation ot the liw. THE SUEZ CANAL. A Colossal War h-How lt wara Accom? plished -Expectations ot*Its Usefulness. The progress of the great work of the Suez Danal, under the charge of M. de Lesseps, na :ura!iy attracts a large share of public atten? tion; and an interesting survey of the enter? prise, by E. Hepple Hall, has just boen pub? lished as the illostiated supplement of Apple ion's Jot mal, from which we take the most jrominent facts : The canal itself is a vast ditch, one hundred mles in length, three hundred feet wide at the op, from ono hundred to ono hundred and 31ty feet wide at the bottom, with an average lepth of twenty-four feet, connecting four latural lakes, which are situated U d.stances i tm ten to fifteen miles from each other, and li8cbarging at either end into a great inland sea. Stupendous difficulties a; tend tho cons true ion of Ihe work, and threatened to make it vb en finished, of no permanent utility. Pro rn i ?ent among these wore the sand storms of the le.ie*t, which would ill! up the ditch and de >osi s of the Mile, Which wonid obstruct the ?ntrauca with bars. To avoid damage from .ho sand storms great barriers'of sand fifty cet high have been raised on either side of he canal, 'To provide against the gradual ac sumulation of bars, two enormous jetti s or jreakwaters have been carried out into thc Mediterranean, one twj thousand yards and ibo other two thousand seven hundred yards in length. Tho mechanical appliances, ex ia rators dredging machines, &c, Ac, requiied for these operations, were erected on the most 3olossal scale and at a vast expenditure of money. Mo locks are require \ along the line from one and.to the other, the wholo area of the Bitter Lakes, which aie estimated to contain nine hundred million tens of water, sufficing to break the current and regulate tho flow of the water from sea to sea. Port 8aid on tho Mediterranean, and Suez ou tho Bed Sea, are the termini ox the oanal. Under the stimulus of BO important au under? taking, necessitating the employment of so many artisans, artificers and laborers, and so groat an outlay of m moy, these porte have rapidly increased in population, and have boen greatly improved by the company and the Egyptian Government. When the canal shall have been folly completed, however, they will be mere points or temporary stoppage f >r the steamers of the Peninsular and Oriental Com? pany and other lines, which will then ?ail di? rectly from the ports of Europe to the porte of India. Danns thc year 1868, 2C88 vessels, aggrega? ting 674,048 tons burthen, arrived at Port Haid, and 270 OOO tickets were issued by the Transit Service. According to the estimate of M. de Lesseps this amount will be increased to 8,000. 000 tons per annum the first year siter the completion of the canal, and that daring sue oeed ng yosrs will be doubled. A recent le ter from Mr. Liege, t ie English representative of the Suez Canal Company, furnished some information supp em en tai y to M*. Ba?'0 .rrijfo. Mr. Lauge writes? : "Ihe rate for ail ninas-o? meronanutso (coals excepted) from-Port Said to Suez is 25 franos per French ton; for coals, 21 francs per French ton of 1000-kilogrammes, and 20 francs per ton for cargoes of 800 French tons. To this must be added tho charges for loading or unload ng at Port Said, from snip into the company's barges, aud vier, oe? sa, 2 franos 75 centimes per ton, and farther 1 franc 75 centimes per ton on or from tho quay at Baez-In all 4 franos 50 centimes per French ton, to the rates aboye namoi for 'ordi? nary' merchandise and coals. 1 may men? tion that 1000 tons qf coals were b?ing con? veyed ttuough ihe caruh from Port . Said to Suez for account of the Peninsular and Orien? ts 1 Company, and arrangements entered int.) for the conveyance of 3000 tons more. The offio si receipt? arising from tolls ending tbe 1st of November last, amounted to 1 030,221 franos 91 centimes. There are thir? teen steamers monthly plying between Port Said and Alexandria, aud sixteen between Alexandria aud Port Said: also a x steamers monthly between Suez, Hong K ng, ?inca pore, Penang. Bombay, Calcutta. Madras. Aus? tralia, &o., thus forming a obain or correspon? ding links between Europe and fha Ea t, through the Baez Canal, of which shippers eau avail themselves for out and home shipments. It is fully anticipated, a Ording to the present rate at which the excavations are being car? ried on, that tho Baez Canal will be open tor the unbroken passage of large vessels on or before the 1st of October next year." Alto ou gh tbs final ononin.? of ihe work for ships of the largest olass cannot take place for more than twelve months from the present time, the formal ceremony of the wedding of the oceans ??ul be celebrated with Oriental pomp on the 18th October of the current year. Silken enta, gay with the il IRS of all nations, will be pitched under tbe shadow o? the Pyra? mids, and all the crowned heeds of Europe have been invited to moe the august occasion with their presence. After alu grand M the work is, and worthy of the nineteenth century, the canal is yet an experiment, and lt remains to be seen whether er not lt will fatly Justify the prophesies of ita originators in revolutionising tte cemon erne of ihe world. It has been the result of Frenen genia? ead enterprise, sdi if it prove a oom morotai success toe pecuniary returns witt bc ohiefly from British pocket?. THE Y EEG ER CASE. ITerffrr's Kreith? a.ucl Kollies-M emit?is cencei ot his Tonth, lit H Crina* and Pos? sible insanity-*l he Militai y Commis? sion-Letter from an Ul?l Friend ot the Family. ? decision hun been rendered by the military jommission at Jackson, Mississippi, in tbe forger case; btu the Unding and sentence are 0 bo kept secret until after tbe approval of the jrooeedings of tho commission by tho authori? ses at Washington, Colonel Barr, assistant udge advocate, has returned to Washington with the papers, and the commission has ad? journed to the 21 of August. A Vicksburg let? ica- to the Cincinnati Commercial gives tbe following interesting review ot this extraor? dinary case: Allow a Mississippian, who knows something af tho facts of thc case, and a good deal of the berger family and the antecedents of Edward M. Yerger, to tell you a few things that will go to show First. That the homicide ha J not the slight? est political or secliotal significance. Secondly. Tust it is not a crime to be pun? ished^ and Lastly. That it is a calamity which ought to bave been prevented. Tbe Yergor family is a numerous one, of the boat st?mmig, and moro than IIB ii!; Hy intelli? gent. The mad nc? s of Colonel Yorger aud this culminating trouble will not eclipse it. Ed? ward's father was, without exception, one of the best of men. If he had a fault, il was indulgence of this youth. The boy was bright, and in make and deportment such as would delight a father's heart and gr? tify bis pride. From 20 to 25 Ed. Yerger was the Chester? field ot Mississippi, and in dresB a Beau Brum? mell. Ihose who remember bim will admit that, if not the handsomest, be was the best and most exquisitely dressed man in Missis? sippi. His fine person, bearing and stylo ?vere just sufficiently tempered with a love of ap? probation to tone down tbe imperiousness of an almost overpowering vanity. Yet be was not a fair representative of our Southern youth; he had vastLv too much conceit. It tills me with sometbin r akin to scorn for this man, when I think ol tbe thousands on thou sands of our youth, with his graces of per? son, with more than bis culture, aud a thou? sand fold more bonor and courage, (as after events proved,) t'.o pride of our homes, the hofae ot our hearts, who w?re literally swept from the earth in their devotion to the South? ern cause during onr -alamitouB struggle; but 1 have promised you fact.?, not sentiments. Before the war Colonel Yerger conducted things in great state. Tbe turnout he provid? ed for Mrs. Yerger waB finely appointed. He was never to be seen ia my lady's carriage. He himself drove a splendid team, with live? ned servants and appointments to match. His bouse, still standing, i-i a fine oro, per? haps the largest, excepting tho Executive man? sion, that Grant and Sherman left. It is sad Tor me to visit Jackson now and behold the wreok that is or its former self. Before the war it was what it now profesacB to be. but it it is not, the oapital of th e State. Thou our richer planters often settled here for the sake of society and the education of their daugh? ters. Jackson and i he neighborhood contained many beautiful residences, homes of wealth and refinement, with surroundings belonging to an order of things now psst, but that seem from tbis distance to have had a halo of grace and beauty peculiarly their own. I look in vain for thoso fine bornes eada now. The chimney stacks ot many of them still stand, m grim" mockery, amid the desola? tion of their once charmine grounds. So nu? merous were our chimney staoks at one time, that at Vicksburg we spoke of Jackson as Chimney vii ie. Colonel Yorker's family, in wealth and posi? tion, was among tbe firnt. How, I kno v not, whether the war or his newspaper enterprises. Dr both combined, but certain it is that this branch of tbe Yerger family is now poor. Yerger bas, until this trouble, lived lu bis Ono nome; but I verily believe that his refusal to pay bis taxes arose from sheer inability. I think it may have been said with troth that before this unfortunate occurrence Colonel Yerger'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 up his establishment, and who could only, with tbe most stingy economy, do it On ten thou-and, but wbo bas to do it in some way or another on five thousand or loss, is poor indeed. This ?aa Tere er's condition. Now recall the circumstances attending tho seizure of the piano. A respectable and lead ins: famdy, with their Just pride and associa? tions, owing some three or four hundred dol? lars delinquent taxes, but believing in a coun? ter claim of at least double the amount, for jamases done their property by an ovetflow, Tor which tbe city wae supposed to be respon? sible. To Sftti?fy the city's claim a levy is or? dered. The sheriff and officers of the law, arm? ed with the Mayor's aut borny, with an express eart and a sufficient number of aid J hired for the occasion, force an entrance to the house. The household is frightened, the piano, a cherished instrument, owned by the wife be? fore ber marriage, is seized, and for the first lime in the history of Jackson a respectable family is seemingly insulted, outraced and dis? graced. Colonel Yerger was in Memphis at the time. To a man of ordinary type such a proceeding would have been a deep, bitter, galling humiliation; to a man of Yorgir'a tem? perament it wis not merely maddening-it made him mad-and the result is what we now deplore. I have inquired of many persons why Colo? nel Crane, a man uniformly well spoken of. could have acted in this unfeeling way, when Yerger bad a bona fine claim against the city fer at least t ,\i?e the amount of these taxes. I am told that Colonel Cram? was urged to do it, so me say by those high in authority here; that he was twitted with cowardice, that he feared to do his duty. Ste. My own opinion is that some base souls here, envious and craven hearted, songht the humiliation of this family, and tested not till it was aocomrlished through official interference, but in sush a way as to save their own skins. The trouble was pro? voked; a worthy man and good officer has lost his life. Why I think it a calamity, and no crime pu n ie hable by law, I can tell in a few sen? tences, h . : Dur ng a recent visit I made to Jackson, I spent one dav at the barracks, where tbe nilli tarv commission ia being held, and listened to fe?aW ahtfl?t?^'?bS who bad for many years known Colonel Yer? ger and his kindred. The physician detailed Boms of tbe hallucinations he bad bimsolf wit? nessed, and cave his opinion of other* that had been deposed to by others. He expressed ble conviction that thera was hut one rational explanation ; that it was a case of moral mania, a d rangement of the moral faculties, but where the intellectual faculties were in p. great measure undisturbed. I confess that-tbe testimony of tbis physi? cian let considerable light into my own mind, I had again end again heard of Yerger'a eccen? tricities, but I had not heard of roany of i ht nbsolutelv crazv acts detailed in tho testimo? ny, and which, occurring for tbe most part lc his own bouse, had been kept from the oublie I had known of many of his un paral 'eled con? ceits ar>d as I supposed, supera bounding vani? ty. I used to laugh when my friend, the edi tor of the Memphis-. would repeat to tat dispatches he occasionally received from tb? genius. The usual strain ran thus: ''Colone E. M. Yerger. tne undoubted leader of the Mis? sissippi Press, has announced bis intention ' *e ; . Colonel E. M. Yerger, of Jackson whost position as head of his per'y, and whose un qaes ioned ability," ko. Poor Yerger I At the time the Democratic Convention wat held in New York. 1 heard of ?ame of the un? accountable conceits of Ed. Yorger concerti now solved, bnv that came very near breeding grave disturbances st the time. General Freeman, and other delegates from ?bis Biete felt some astonishment ant no -fettle an nov anew ?bat so little attention was paid, and t< few cards left for the Mississippi delegation The usual attentions and courtesies were al most entirely wanting. It was soon ?econ?? tee for. Ed. Yerger, with his damnable efl?ont erv, (this was the explanation given to me. bad ordered tbe clerk ot the hotel to send al the cardo for the Mississippi delegation to hu roon, and ft was done. He was the Missis sij)gi delegation, the honors should, therefore During that memorable convention a littl event transpired vhiob, for certain reasons, recall with peculiar, interest. Mrs. Bena o ? ?nvited Coioasl Y urger to one of he leoffpilous. Whether others ot the Misait sippi delegation were in vi ed or not I am no now positive, bot oat h?fo alon? went, tin I m i was? a? she always ie, enchanting; "sh fanned herself with the of an houri;" so Ed. Yerger said, "bos I c*^vatod?1 Perfectly vanquished her." B It i3 convincing evidents; to my mind that Yorger is morally and leu&Wj irresponeible tor the terrible deed he hay,, committed, that he has, as I am credibly inarmed, no realizing sense of tbe beinousnes i F;. hm offence. His magner in the courtroom ! tere ?tod mo. He pretended to be reading ai <.'<>w8paper most of the time, bu? when somer roint in the testi? mony would artest bi-? attention, ho would lift his eyes over his glasses, as they were pei ched upon his nose, direct tbem toward the witness with a son of bait inquiry, half pitying con? tempt, as much ns to say : "What will the Idiot Bay next ?,s iou could not say he was in the least interested in the testimony; at tbe same time be seemed not unconscious that it was testimony that might save his Ufe. I reached the courtroom before the opening of the commission, and just, as Yorger, bis five or s:x guards with fixed biyonets, and the officer of the guard came marching into the rocm. Yerger was handcuffed aud manacled, but the chain was long enough to permit a tol? erable stride. Yorger camelon, bolt upright, clanking his chain perfectly unabashed, neither brosen nor bent. 1 caught bis eye. at least I bave no doubt of it, but be deigned no recog? nition. Hie handcuffs were removed as soon as be cime into court. No sane man, unless hardened to crime, which Yerger is not, could bear up under this ordeal as this man does. Colonel Yerger is fortunate in bis counsel. The most striking circumstance m the court? room, next to ueeirga civilian andan old rrie?d tried by United States officers in bullion epau? lettes, was the atrav of counsel. Mississippi might he t-care Lied in vain to match William Yorger, Harris, Simrall, Anderson and Mar? shall QB lawyers. Xhey are tbe pride and the flower of tbe State. And how admirably, how fcitiontiy. how thoroughly they are managing be cate I All that ability and means eau do is being done for Yorger, and, let me say, in the interests ot law and justice. TueoommisBiou aro apparently officers ot in? telligence. Whatever their prejudices may be, they look like men quite able to deoide, even m an unusual case like this, with justino aud judgment. 1be president of tbe commis? sion, General Swift, a medic il office. I judge by bis green cash, and probably selected for this reason -is a man o' imposing appearanoe, and judging by a few words I bend fi om bim in calling tbe commission to order, is a person of culture and ability. The two judge advecates, who represent the government in the prosecution, Showed no. lack of zeal in endeavoring to account for all ot poor Yerger'a crazy tricks o i the ground ot intoxica ion and delirium tremens. Those who know Yerger would never attempt the so? lution of the problem in this way. Ii is not your bard drinker, who, for instance, delivers a H pooch in New Orleans, and is so overpleased with his exploits that nothing short ot presen? ting himself with a carriage, ou behalf of his admirers, will satisfy him. But enough. Poor Yerger should never have h^cn allowed to commit this deed. His friends are to blame that be should ' h&ve been allowed l to be habitually armed. Justice will not per? mit him to be hanged, but, for the rest of his life, he should be confined. My gossip would be i complete wera I t/> omit saying that Colonel Yerger is not a. type of a Southern man, and is very far from being dear to Soutbern hearts. When conscription waa the law ot our necessity. Colonel Yerger forsook bis friends, sought shelter at the Fede? ral headquarters at Vicksburg, and betrayed cowardice aud disloyalty to his section by tell? ing all he knew or could leam of the Confede? rate movements. MATRIMONIAL BROKERAGE. A Philadelphia Institution-How it ts MaiiBged-Noliody ."teed. Despair. A singular swindle has just sprung into ex? ist eu cs at Philadelphia, and in . novelty, at least, bas never been equalled in this country, or in any other: _ ? - UV MOTTO. "Let us search the world over, sifting the wheat from the chaff, thereby improving tbe human race." All this is supposed to mean matrimony, and as the American people are a cold-beartod race, the 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 the very mo? derate consid?ration of a tee of from five dollars from every male, and three dollars from every woman, husband* may ba found for wive*, and wives tor husbands. Their "sa? credly confidential examinations circular" (as they call it) informs us of the fact that these religious swindlers regard matrimony as the "highest and holiest functions of the True Church, and conduct thia dapa rtmant in per? fect confidence. " The facilities which they have o a band to further the interests and se? cure the success of this holy enterprise, they tell us, are great. They have a PRIVATE BOOK OF REOIdl BY, Which will contain the nama, address, tem? perament, conditions of health, circumstances, position, business, age, religious faith, if any habits, desires, ko., of each applicant. We forgot to mention, that this concern is not without us 'conditions" and Us shares ox "ifs," for it is emphatically set forth in italics that the fees must be forwarded with the applicar tiou for registry, or no notice will be taken of it; and furthermore, that every subsequent let? ter of inquiry or business must have a three penny postage s+amp enclosed. This is very significant. Il gives us to un? derstand that the matrimonial department is conducted on economical principles. Then, lectures being the order ot the day, a little ad? vice is given to applicants. They are expeoted to honestly and candidly give full particulars, filling out the blank spaces in truth and sin? cerity. They threaten t a visit a moat condign exposure on 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 is asked, MATCHED. As soon as a case is record? 1 in the Private Bock of Registry, they seek to match his or her case. If it is found that they have a con? genial, and to all m te ti ts a proper ope, tbey forward the man's photograph to tbe woman, ?nd ?tee versa; that is. if they are not near j enough to be personally introduced to each other; for if they are, then, of cours?, the par? ties can Bettie the matter at once and conclude the bargain. The department takes many pre ovoTivua to b?eo things mum until the grand eruption. For instance, the photographs will be merely uumoored, ttys name? being kept confidential, until they flSs? both applicants i leased, lr they are so pleased, and get mar? ried, then they are expected to be candid enou/h to reveal to each other their real names and ages. If they cannot ngr ;o, then they will try again and again until they shit I the applicant ......... We forgot to mention that if a marriage re? sults from the introduction a present is ex pee ed, as the persons identified witb this s windle go upon the principle of thankfully receiving presents, even f they chance to be oz the smallest possible kind. * AM EXTRA CHABQB VOX SOMETHING ?AHE.
