Ehe London Evening Telegraph (Liberal) yesterday contained an editorial on the eise of Hagerty, who was ap pointed American Con i? at Glasgow. The writer, after paying a h<ghttribute to the uni form good faith of the American Executive, bo far as Fenianism is concerned, justifies the re fusai cm i'uu British Government to grant an exequator, and says President Grant had no notion of the record of Hagerty, and under*the circumstances, the government had no option Maut to refuse to acknowledge bim, and the jus tice of the refusal would, doubtless, be recog nized at Washington. the " times " on spain and cuba. London, August 10.?The Times, on the rela tions between Spain and Cuba, says: "Bet.veon the military punctilio of the former, and the patriotic fanaticism of the latter, the interests of both are likely to suffer, especially when the questions at issue bhculd be brought under the oontrol of sound reason, and their discussion kept free from impulse and passion. If it can be proved that the separation ot she colony from the mother oountry is una voidable, and not a remote contingency, it seems the height of madness to carry on hostilities fraught with ruin to either aide." After reviewing the zevolution in Spain, the writer continues: "Improvident and help less as Marshal Prim may be, it can be safely proclaimed that he is the hast Spain could ' have nuder present circumstances, and the chances of improvement lie in bis power of directing its energies to domestic organiza I tion and reform, undisturbed by foreign or P oolonial complications. Strip government of ' its beet troops for distant expeditions; drain the resources of the country for an interne cine struggle with a kindred race; then tell us whether any amount of genius, character, or good will, can raise members of government to a level with tbo difficulties of the situation." After inquiring into the causes of the rising in Cuba, the Times says : "The most fanatical of the Opposition are well aware that Spain can only temporarily crush the rebellions spirit in the colony. Were Spain quit of the colony without compensation, thanksgiving for tho happy riddance might well be sung throughout the Peninsula; but if a large sum of money is received into the bargain, the Spaniards cannot be too thankful. The last French campaign in Mexico ought to have made it manifest that there is neither honor nor profit to gain for the powers of the old oontinent by meddling with the affairs of the new." the cab lists in spain. Paris, August 10.?Tho Paris Patrie says large bands, composed of officers, soldiers and members of the clerical party, have assembled in the northern districts of Spain, well arme i and organized.

Tienwa, August 10.?Baron Von Beust, in his speech before the delegates yesterday, de tended the publication of the Blue Book and all il contained. Its discussion, ho ar-eruad. would remove misapprehension, and not create dis ? > quietude. < j He contradicted the assestion that be bad interfered in the affairs of the German States, -or exercised any pressure to form a South : German Confederation. He reiterated the previous assertion that no alliance existed !between Austria and any European Power, but added, in France we have a good friend, kit is questionable if Germany could help us. France has always shown friendship, and sin-' Merely entertains kindly feelings for all the peo ;)i6 of Austria. In conclusion, the Premier stated that most of the disagreements with Prussia were through the publication of the Ked Book, and in justice to Werther he was bound to bear testimony that he offered no impediment to better relations. The policy of Austria was one of domestic, nob foreign alliance?. Paris, August 10.?It is generally under stood here that Baron Yon Beust, in allud ing so pointedly to the sincere friendship of France, desired to convey the impression that be did not consider Prussia a sincere friend, ?iib troublous condition of spain.

The Cubans have official advices to the 2d.

THE EDGEFIELI* TRAGEDY. The EJgetield Advertiser gives the following particulars of the shooting of Charles and J. D. Creswell, at Pottersville : At old "Pottersville," one mile north of our town, on Thursday morning last, was enacted one of the most horrible tragedies pen was ever called upon to relate. On that morning, after usual breakfast ' time, two brothers, Charles and J. J). Creswell, well known citi zens of the Ninety-Six section, left tbe vil lage, journeying homewards. They had spent the night at the Glover Hotel, on their way from Augusta. They travelled in a buggy drawn by two horses. On the morning in question, J. D. Creswell, the younger ot the brothers, was driving. As tbey reared the foot of the hill, upon which stand the residences of Mr. A. Ramsay and Dr. H. Parker, they were fired upon from the corn field on their right, a very short distance below Mr. Ram say's house. At this peint, very near tbe cor ner of tbe field, there stands a small plum thicket. Out of this thicket came the snots. Charles Creswell received some four shots in his right breast, and lived not more than an hour. J. D. Creswell was wounded in five places, light hand, left arm. chin, breast and stomach. The horses continued to go forward, but at Dr. Parker's gate, about two hundred yards from the scene of the shooting, tbe lat ter though so severely wounded; succeeded in stopping them. Here Charles Creswell fell from the buggy, the wheels of which ran over him, tpd J. D. Creswell, oalling for assist ance, had him removed into tbe house, wbere he lived for upwards of an hour. In connection with tbe circumstances which led to this terrible tragedy, tbe public mind of our community had been previously sadly and painfully moved, and when the late occurrence was made known, it led to suoh a day of horri fied yet undemonstrative excitement as we have never known in Edgefield. In the after -noon a jiieroner's inquest was held upon tho bo?jtof Charles Creswell, the jury returning ? verdict that,he came to his death from gun shot wounds ""at the hands of some person or persons unknown. On the following day, the remains, attended by friends who had been speedily summoned, were conveyed to the home of the departed man's parents. J. D. Creswell, whose wounds were at first thought to be mortal, after remaining two nichts at Dr. Parker's, was removed to the Gilo vet Hotel in this place, where he now lies, attended by father, mother and two Bisters. His wounds, though very serious and painful, are not considered mortal, and well grounded hope is entertained of his recovery. The parties who tired these fatal shots are George B. and James Addison, sons of our old apftl honored fellow-citizen, Major George A. Addison. A few hours after the shooting, tbey rode quietly into town, and after the result of the coroner's inquest had been made known,, surrendered thnmsolves to Sheriff McDevitt. > On tbe following morning, attended by a legal adviser, tbey left for Lexington, to obtain bail from Judge Boozer, of that place. On Saturday afternoon they returned, having, without tho slightest difficulty, accomplished their object. Swe then they have gone to their homes. Georg B. Addison Is a young man of some twenty-three or four years. James Addison Is a y ont h not yet eighteen. Tbey have been raised in our midst, where, with all their fam ily, they have been loved and honored* To see them thus, was and is to cur community a cause of deepest and most painful sadness, ?A correspondent of a Philadelphia papor thus speaks of a prolonged totality: "Few peo ple trouble themselv j to think what the effect would be if the eclipse of Saturday were to last any length of time, and tho sun were blotted from the heavens. Philosophy declares that not only would a horror of darkness cover the earth, but the moisture ot the air would be precipitated in vast showers to Ihe earth, and the temperature fall to a fearful point of cold nothing toss than two hundred and, thirty de gree* below aero, Fahrenheit. The earth would be the seat of darkness, and more than Arctic desolation. Nothingoouid survive auch freezing cold a moment,' more than one could breathe in scalding water.' In three days after tbe cooling process began, nothing created would be alive bat the monsters that wallow m deep ocean, and the eyelees reptiles tbat make their haanta in cayes which penetrate far underground." 2,AJVJ?S BOLD FOR TAXES. Circular fiom the Lund Commissioner. Executive Department, Land Commis uonkii's Omens CoLUMBLb, IS. C, August 11 T869. Notice.?Several parties, whose lands were sold for State tvxes, by the eher ff? of varions counties, under and by virtue of the law of the State, modified by Venera! rdwn, No. 83, hav ing made inquiry ol ibis office as to the mode and mariner in which such lands may be re deemed, I herewith submit the following ex-. tracts from General Orders, No. 03, still ol'force in this Slate : [extract. ] "Provided, further, That if the same (ihe taxes and costs) shall not have been so paid within thirty days, then the owner of the fee shall be entitled to redeem tho property within one j ear from and after the ay of sulo by pay ing ali of said amount and costs, as aforesaid, together with fifty per cent, penalty; and that, if not redeemed within one year from the day ol sale, the Legislature of the State shall be authorized to determine by law tho conditions upon which the same may be redeemed by the former owner daring tbe remiiuiag term of seven years for which it was sold." It will be seen, from the above extract, that parties who have not redeemed their land within one year from tho date of sale, oannot do so now without authority: from the Legisla ture. The provisions of the old law on this subjoot, if meant to be of any benefit to the otato, have m connection with the provisions of General Order, No. 63. beeu a total failure. The State, instead of realizing any benefits by be coming owner of the lands taken for taxes, has sustained additional loss by allowing the original owners to occupy and retain posses sion of the h.nd without payment to the State of either rent or tbe taxes that have since accrued thereon. It has really placed the State in a worse position than if it had not attempted to enforce tbe penalty. Again. It must be obvious to most people that the sale of laud to the State for a teim ot seven years requires, if suoh sale should be of any avail to the State, a great amount of la bor, trouble and expense, all of which, in my judgment, would certainly counterbalance all that tbe State might secure from any benefits arising therefrom. Tho State ought to be anx ious, and I believe 1 represent tbe opinion of the party in power when I say that they are anxious, that tho original owners of the land should be allowed to redeem the game on the most liberal terms. Early in the commence ment of the next session, I shall recommend to the Legislature the passage of an act granting relief upon substantially the following terms : First. That when the original owners have occupied the land since the sale, they shall pay the taxes for wbioh tbe same was sold, together with tbe actnal costs and expenses of such sale. Second. Ihey shall pay the State taxes, wbioh would have accrued upon the sarao if the party had continued the owner, the county au ditor making all proper assessments. ' 'Third. In cases wbero the original owner has not occupied the land since the time of the sale, and the same has been leased (of which if there are any leases, I am not aware,) for a longer term than one year, and the lease not yet having expired, the party retaking posses .iun akuuia v*y ojl uli permanent Improve ments mado thereon. ' . ' Fourth. The parties must, by the fifteenth day of September of this year and the first day of December in each subsequent year, file a notice with the State Treasurer of his inten tion to redeem the land on or before the first day of January following. In order to entitle a person to redeem their land or avail themselves of tbe provisions of suoh bill, they must deposit with the State Treasurer a sum of money sufficient to redeem in pursuance of 'the suggestions above made. To those who desire it, the 'State will hold out the most liberal inducements to them to regain their properly. Bat if tbe parties refuse and neglect, after the passage of such an aot, to re deem their lands, tbe State will be compelled to lease out the lauds, in whole or in part, and, if necessary, dispossess the original owner. 0. P. Leslie, Land Commissioner. 75 THE XiEXIH&TQN HOMICIDE. TheTrlaloffr.F.H. hewle r?r KllUsg J.Klliott Drafts. The Lexington correspondent of the Colum bia Phoenix gives the following account of the trial and acquittal of Dr. F. S. Lewie: Monday having, been assigned for the trial of Dr. F. S. Lewie, (our representative 4ln the State Legislature,) for the homicide ol J. El liott Drafts in May last, (for the seduction of his wife,) and it being a very exciting trial, caused everybody to turn out. At an .early hour the court bouse was crowded almost to suffocation. Tbe jury was composed of eleven whites and one colored. The case was opened by .Solicitor Talley. After the examination of the witnesses on the part of the State, tbe prisoner offering no evidence, Colonel Simeon Fair opened the argument for the de fence. He contended that the testimo ny, about which tu ere was no dispute, ali being on the side ol the prosecution, made a .case of excusable homicide. Tbe prisoner was rightfully wbero ho viras to satisfy himself of the deceased's intention of cnminal intercourse with his (prisoner's) wife; aud although the provocation was great,' yet the danger was.se urgent that the killing should be ascribed to the necessity, and not the provocation, when mad? a case <of self-defence-. Tbe prisoner had been warned of deceased's threats auamsfc his life if he interfered With h is (deceased's) in tercourse with prisoner's wife. Tbe prisoner < fcad every reason to apprehend, from tbe man ner of his approach, as well as from threats, that deceased designed to take prisoner's life* if. he could. The prisoner held, when tbe deceased fired ihafe no alternative was left but to protect his own life by taking that of his adversary. The effort on the port of tbe prosecution to excuse the con duct of tbe deceased, by showing that the pris oner bad a difficulty with his wife some months ago, is adding insult to injury. The man who could coolly oatcnlate on tho, ohance of seduc tion, where the wife was ander the displeasure of her husband, was a cold-hearted msrdd**?? more than the beast of proy, who only de-, voored the body ot bis victim; whereas the se ducer makes life more dreadful than death it self, and should be shot down as a wild beast of prey. The question, whether it was excus able homicide in self-defence, was a question of fact for the jury, and the prisoner bad no fears of the result. He ?ras followed by Mr. Talley, on the part of the State, who declared that the ground taken by the prosecution was, that under the law any provocation, however enormous, could on y reduce an admitted killing to manslaugh ter; and that if tbe evidence proved that there woe time between tho provocation and killing for "cooling," or if there wast satisfactor r proof of previous arrangement and pr?paration for the killing, It was murder. Mr. 1 alley was raplied toby Colonel Henry A. Meetze, in abrief but able argument. After a charge from his Honor Judge Boozer, the jury retired, and after an absence ot fifteen minutes returned ? verdiet of "not guilty.'' - Thus has ended one of the moot exciting trials thai has ever taken place in our county. The popularity of the prisoner, as well ?4 the dectmsed, and tbe ciroumstanoes which led to the homicide, rendered it so. After tho trial. Dr. L* received the congratalAUons of his, friends.

In consequence of a question asked in the House of Commons, tbe annual payment of this sum was discontinued a few years ago. Oautillon recMving the capital of this infamous legacy. In a convooatWftr of the'University of Oxford, the honorary degree of D. C. L. was conferred on Mr. H. W. Longfellow, the American poet, who was unable to visit Oxford ht tho com memoration of 1868. The poet was presented by Dr. Bowden to the Pro Vice-Ohanoeilor, (Dr. Plnmtre) who duly admitted him. There was a large attendance of ladies, aud most of the senior and junior members of the university who happened to be in attendance were pres ent. Mr. Longfellow and his daughters are staying in Oxford for a short tune. ?"How," asks a fast young Parisian of his friend, "do you rid yourself of an attachment which you don't cara to continue?" "I h?ve an excellent way. I write to the postmaster at St. Petersburg asking him toi send me a Rus sian postage stamp to pay for a letter from Moscow to Paris. Then I put ibis staihp upon a letter which I have written to;;rite4?tr .one, in which I say that 'argent busjnets compels the to pass the next seventeen years out of France.' This I send to the posfmaster at Moscow, with the request that ho will drop it in the mail, and tho thing is done. " 'There is a much simpler way than that. I write to my lady, 'I know all. Adieu.'

At any rate it has always been successful in my oase." ?Queen Isabella, her husband, and her son, the Prince of Astnrias, dined at St. Oloud on the 26th ult. This ovent may reasonably be con strued as a confirmation of tbe rumor that the Emperor connived at what is called the "es cape" from Paris of Don Carlos, in the hope and full expectation that by the aid of infor mation futniahed by the. French police he will very soon be extinguished, and that the com motion oaused by his attempted civil war will afford an opportunity for a, restoration in the person of the Prince of Astnrias. Tho Duke .of Montpenaier or a republic would bo equally distasteful to the Tuileries. The combination which the Emperor leans to is the abdication of Isab3lla and the enthronement ot her son, with his uncle, Don Henry de Bourbon, for Regent. ' ?A traveller in Paris, having occasion for a hair cotter, sent for one. At the Appointed time an elegantly attired person arrived, and tbe gentleman sat down before bis dressing oase to prepare for the operation. The man walked round his "client*' once or twice, and finally taking his stand at some distance, atten tively scrutinized the gentleman's face with the air of a connoisseur looking at a picture. "Well," said the traveller, impatiently, "when * are you going to begin?" "Pardon me, sir,'' was the polite reply ; "I am not the operator, but the physiog?omiatl" "Adolphe!" h? cried out, and a sleeved and aproned barber entered from the hall, "a to Virgil!" With this laconic direction as tVtfce moflo after whioh tho gentleman's hair was to be arranged, the artist retired, ^ if* ?Madame Dora. d'Isfrja writes as follows on the woman question : "It will be with the po litical status of woman ail with that of the col ored race. The grav:st objections might no doubt have-been urged against the latter^ Physiology, politics and history supplied spe cious'' arguments to their opponents. But when certain currents are onoe formed in tho phblio mind, they end by sweeping away all obstacles, even those that wore regarded as impregnable. This is sufficiently exemplified by the progress of universal suffrage. Thirty years ago this was regarded all over Europe as a vain illusion, no worthy tho consideration of a thoughtful statesman. Nevertheless, it has already made sufficient conquests in western Europe to justify the prediction that eastern Europe, too, will bo obliged to adopt it." ?That feudalism is no" yet extinct in Prus sia is shown by an extraordinary incident Whioh has oaourred near Hohenstein, in the Hartz. The estate of Werna, in this dieirlot, has for centuries been in the possession of the Spiegel family, though it was held in reo of the Count von Btolberg Btolberg. Last spring the present occupier of the property publioly de? nted the fealty, and cm snob denial, according to the bid feudal law, would deprive the lord of his rights, Count von Btolberg immediately called upon Herr von Spiegel to gave op, the estate. The latter refused and made all the necessary preparations for defence. The gate was barred, the Jaboreia on the estate were drilled every day, and taught to Are at a target, sentries ' were posted at varions places and re lieved every two hours. A largo" placard has been posted up at the gate with*tho inscrip tion : "No thoroughfare for robber-anight*." ( Verbotener ewgana fwalle i?aubriiitr.) It is aid that Count Btolberg will shortly arrive with a band of aimed men to take forcible pos session of the property, and people are curious to know how this soediawal scone in the mid dle of the wlisflteenih eeatary will end. THIS CONVUCT OIT RA.CJSS. KngUsu View Of ?lie Chinese Question. fFrem the Londou Times, Jn'y 29.] . Alone among the races or the world they (the Chinese) confront the englishman, and tnoduco as much work with less pay. Other aborers are often found to work for less wages than the English lahorer, bnt they prove in the end the dearer workmen to employ, be oauee of the insafnoienoy of what they turn oat. The Chinaman in a largo range of em Dlovmehts overcomes this difficulty, and slices a balance in his own favor, and the resent ment of the manual It.borer bemundorbida is a necessary consequence. "We?cannot live," the Californian in effect says, "tfpou that which satisfies a Chinese," and, in PUW??aooe of that self-preservation which is the fiaWlftw of na ture he proceeds so beat and stone him in the srec 1J. -, Wo venture to think tho confl??t of rices In California will not be solved by jgaport duties or street outrages. It would apptjarSfhat in California itself there are persons who find the presence of the Chinese useful and convenient. The Canfornian sections of the Pacific Railway were made with tbeir assistance, and while-tho work was thus cheaply done, it hoars compari son with the sections completed by "navvise" from another world. The same mail which tel 's us of the vigorous steps token in Cali fornia, informs as that n. convention bas been held at Memphis to devise means of bringing Chinese into the cotton, sugar, corn and rice fir Ids of the South. Tbe Missisaiopi and Mis souri Valleys, tbe mines of Colorado, Nevada Arizona, tbe prairies still haunted by Indian tribes, may ba contested between Chinese and American immigrants. It is impossible to suppose that the Chinese can bo kop out, and speculation may be better employed in con templating the fonctions they may hereafter discharge in the wonderful polity into wbioh tbe States are destined to grow. Inheriting a civilization more ancient and economic meth ods more permet than the European can boast, bat destitute of that strength and toughness of moral fibre which supports authority, the Chinese may be welcomed as assistants in colonization; they need not be feared as the dominating race of the rature. TMK CINCINNATI EXPOSITION. THE AWARD OF THE PRIZES?PREMIUMS AND &FEOIAL MENTIONS. An Interesting Summary.

The Cincinnati Gazette says: Thus bas closed one of the greatest events nonneeted with the business history of the city. It baa sconred the concentration of Forces hitherto acting independently and re motely; the organization of our aotive business latent in such manner as to toll perceptibly upon the futuro commerce of the city, it has brought us in contact with the people of the great South, with whom we are to deal, aud to whom we are to look, to a great extent, for car future growth and prosperity. It has demon strated to us that we can provide much more largely for ourselves than we have aver dene; it has brought manv obeoure but 8k?rul manufactures into the'full light of a great commercial centre, and laid the foundation for them of future trade and for tune. It has given us some idea what we may become by the diligent use of the means with which a kind Providence has abundantly sup plied us. It has taught us what may be ac complished by a very few men, animated by a desire to promote the common good, and de - termined to proceed in the prosecntion of the work. It has stirred the business interest of the city to the foundation, and awakened a spirit among our merchants that will greatly aid us in going in to possess tbo land that shall be opened to us by the completion of our great Southern Railroad. The gentlemen who bave been instrumental In bringing about these bappy results bave labored bard, but they achieved great results, and hawjpmado an im pression upon the city tint will go down with (t to all time. no nit ten s in n Arlington. a band of roving robbers walked into Dar ling ton and walked off with one hundred dol lars. The Democrat, of Wednesday, says : Yesterday morning could bo seen strolling about our streets four strange negro fellows, with apparently nothing to do, and no desire to do anything; but they deceived their appear ance in the latter respect. Late io the after noon, after It afing around the store of Mr. Jus. M. Staggers, Sr., until tbey became acquainted with its arrangements, they all entered the store, when three of them engaged the old gentleman, pretending to trade, on the opposite side of the store while the third one, it is sup posed, crept around the counter on the other side, and took from the safe' which was open one hundred dolla o. There was more mo'iey in the safe, but it was not exposed to view. Mr. Staggers did not discover the theft until about eight o'clock at night. Search was im mediately made for these negroes, but only one of them could be found. He was arrested, and is now in custody. The others have not been arrested up to this time. Tbey were armed with pistolet The fellow in custody says his name is Wdliam Jones, and that the names of bis companions are Henry Jones, Robert Jones and John Washington; that they are all employed on the marl works near Charleston, but that their home is at Mr. John Graham's place, near Graham's Cross Roads, in this district. This statement is no doubt all false. They are a professional band of thieves and robbers, probably some of Gov ernor Scott's pet penitentiary birds that he has recently turned loose upon the public. Look out for them. 4 I SB? * ? Another Ookbohbb Riot?It is Crushed in its Inotpieno?.?The Savannah Mews, of Wed nesday, reports that Justice Wade, of that oity, had issued warrants, based upon the affi davit of a citizen resident in the vicinity of the Ogeeohee River, for the arrest of a white man and some ten negroes, the white man being oharged with inciting the negroes to riot and assault and battery, and the negroes.some of whom are recognized as parties to the first Ogeeohee riot, with being accessories. Officers Butler, Cause and Endres were oharged with the execution of the warrants, and proceeded to the Ogeeohee River to arrest the parties, ttve ofwhom wero taken into custody, tbo whito man and four negroes', uamed June Bug, Brtsto MoGetty, Ben Gordon and Peter Blake, who were brought before Juatio Wade, and bonds entered into for their appearance to answer. The statement of . the party prose cubing was tfD.ai. lx? ?nd the other, white party had some difficulty of words, when the latter blew shorn, wbioh summoned the ten negroes around, who knocked him down, and would have taken his life had it not been ib.- the as sistance rendered by a negro who was with him in a buggy.

Physicians have ceased io torture and prostrate their patients. Instead of pulling down, they build up; instead of assaulting Nature, they assist her. Cupping, leeching, blistering, venesec tion, calomel, antimony, sfapifying narcotics, and rasping purgatives, once the favorite resources of the faculty, are how rarely resorted to even by the most dogmati:-members of the {profession.
