LWTDOK, August 23.-The Horning Tolc graph to-day fans an editorial os tbe forthcom? ing international boat race, wherein it says: "One point ia favor of the Americans is, they are io such a state of high training, of the best kind. They have not submitted to a sharp re? gimen for a few months with a view to the par ?calar event, but have been in perfect braining for the last three years. What hardness of mus? cio, son n dnees of heart and honesty of lung must be the* result. It ia almost impossible to over? rate thc effect snell a state of facts bas opon the event of the race.. Four young athletes, kept for thee yea? under conditions to de? velops every available power, is something more excellent than the result of a few Boothe* training. What may oot be ex peoted from a crew o died opon for a quarter of an boor's strain wheo they have been at work for years. Taking oar information as cor? rect, we should consider the superior hard? ness of the Americans mora tban a set-off against the style ol tbe English, and oonohide that the contest will be mainly a battle of cox? swains. Whatever the point may be, we trust til increase of kindly feeling and good fellow? ship between the two-nations may be one- of the results." LONDVN, August 25.-The Times comment? ing, on the race says : "Good judges assert that the Harvard show signs of over-training. The river watermen, however, ta vor the idea that they must win the race. Boating men generally are divided, tbe majority being in favor of Oxford." f WASHINGTON ' NEWS.

People have apparent? ly accepte 1 that affitr as the outpoaxing, by proxy, of their own wrath. His Honor Judge PJatt baa tbe parties be? te? him this week, at Black ville, where the coarta are now held for this county. The parties, however, belog ali whites, and the j ?ry two-thirds blacks, it ia not known whether they will take much interest in the case, bot probably snooze moat comfortably during the trial. . . M.: The lawyer? are complaining that of the many criminal cases before the court, scarcely one defendant has employed counsel. The judge, therefore; appoints a member of the ber to condnct the ease, and thus bia valuable serrioee Will be obtained for nothing. . The crops, which before the drought in Jone and July were tbe best ever made in this dis- j triot, have been se??os ly injured, especially j corn. It is thought noir, emco ae have had infjrvtahiog rains, that three-ronrths of it cotton ?ron will be made, and probably two-thirds of a corn crop. A few sections of the county have not goffered from drought, and there the crops ?re very fine. Other parts where they j wore seven weeks without rain, thsre will be al mDst nothingmade. : The removal of the courthouse from this piaoe to Blsnkrille, is the absorbing topio among our people. OX orarse, there are those on both?skits of the question, who are ready at anytime to pro ye that his side ia light. Tbe man, however, who takes twp da j's to reach the courthouse and 1 wo to return home, is not easily pei* jaided that it is best for him. Cotton pi eking will BOOTI co mm an oe in earnest, and. I presume, the log aban tva? over the coun? try, yeetpt "stores, " will be brushed ont, and the goods left over from bst year be burnished np, until it looks "a'maiat ss gride's the new." A oft then may be seen freedmen and freedwo men, and freed children, with bags and baskets, and some with blankets and some with theets, (save the mark,) with from one pound to one hundred ''p?oddmg their weary way" to said "stores,'' to trade ont their "projuice" mostly for candy. Last Sonda; was the hottest day sf this Summer-the thermometer stood nearly TOO. ANON. TBS DBODQHT m PHI un EU KIA.-A Phila? delphia dispatch, dated August 23d, says: "Not ? drop of rain bas fallen here since Augnst 4th, the night of the great whiskey fire, nor bas tiny account of rain been received from the interior, except a abort thunder storm on Sat urday last, about thirty miles up the Schuyl? kill. AU reporta agree as to the great damage to corn from the drought iu this State. A special mee trag of the city councils was held to-day to consider the water famine. $25,000 was appropriated for the families of destitute annal boatmen, and power given the chief en? gineer to take such measures as he m av deem proper to raise water into the basins at Fair? mount. The experiment was tried this after? noon of raising water by means or steam fire engines. The bill at Fairmount is ninety-six tes high, and it m doubtful if the bess would stand the pressure. The result ie not yet an? nounced." -While most of tbe watering places have bad a remarkably good year, tbe role is not without its exceptions. It is said that one of toe largest hotels at Cape Hay is losing at the rate of fij^hrmdred dollars a week, and two of thCratot-claea houses at Atlantic City are losing at sboot tbe same rate. Some of the more moderate bot?is at both places axe doing very well. VSITBD STATES COUBT. Proceeding* of Ute United State?

AM ntPO&tAirr DECISION. In re. John W. Grady, Bankrupt, William T. Shumate and Absalom Blythe, Assignees, vs. [ i David 0. Hawthorn-Same vs. David 0. Hawthorn and Sidney H. Tarbyfill. ? f These cases involve the same principle and presented the same state of facta, and were ar? gued together. John W. Grady being a member of the firm [ of Grady ? Hawthorn, and of Grady, Haw- ( thorn fe Tarbyfill, by bis attorney, Governor ,( Perry, filed bia petition for voluntary bank- , rn pt cy io December last, and in bia schedules showed assets and liabilities in behalf of each ( of thea? firms aa well aa for himself individu- ] ally. His copartners were not served with a ( copy of the. petition, ot io aoy wise made par- ? ties to the proceedings. The petitioners in the present cases were appointed his assig? nees, and filed their petition by William E. Earle, Esq., their solicitor, alleging the bank? ruptcy of Grady, the copartnerships and the insolvency of th J copartnerships respectively, and pray ed that the firms might be respective? ly adjudicated bankrupt, and the aaa eta be ad? ministered in the bankrupt cy court. Governor Perry also answered these pot iti tiona, and de? nying that the parties had committed any act of bankruptcy, and moved that tbe role to show canse should be dismissed on the ground that the firms could not be forced ir to bank? ruptcy anlese they had done something which the act declare ?Ito be an act ot bankruptcy; that the assignees of Grady could not maintain these proceedings against his late copartners, and that they were an necessary for the admin? istration of the bankrupt's estate, und that the bankrupt could be discharged from his indivi? du! debts without, the firms going into bank? ruptcy. - Captain Earle, for the assign?es, replied at considerable length, adducing a great number of authorities from the reports and the bank? rupt authors to sustain the position that Grady cou ld not be discharged from any of bis debts until the copartnership debts were paid,, or the copartnership assets were administered bankruptcy; that a copy of Grady's petition should have been served ab inilio on his co? partners, as these were copartnership assets. That this not having been done according to the prescribed practice, the assignees had be? come the only parties who could proceed ts heal the omission, and that, as the agents of the creditors generally, it waa their duty to in? stitute these proceedings, in order that the estate might be administered according to the Bankrupt Act, and the individual assets be ap? plied to individual debi s, and the copartnership assets to the copartnership deb's; and that it W88 unnecessary to allege or prove that the respondents had committed any act of bank? ruptcy; but that their copartner, Grady, having asked for the benefit of the act, it became neces? sary, if the firms were insolvent, that the as? sets of the firma sbeuld be administered in the Court of Bankruptcy. Governor Perry then sated for au order for trial by jury, and read the form of demand for trial by jury, and argued that the parties were entitled to a trial by jury if they desired, and could not otherwise be adjudicated bankrupts. The court refused the motion. Judge Bryan reviewed the law analytically and with great clearness, deciding substantial? ly that the bankrupt, John W. Grady, could not be discharged of a portion ot his liabilities merely, but that if at all, lt must be of all of them, and that this could not be unless the firm debts were paid; or the firm assets admin? istered in the Bankrupt Court; that as Grady's petition had not been served os his ex-part? ners, it had. became necessary and proper thal tb? wt'gneea should instituto these proceedings to brine them in, in conform? ity to General Orders No. 18 ; that the estate had to be administered according to Section 86 of the act, and that this could not be done otherwise in the present state of the case than by the proceedings now instituted by tbe assignees, who are, under the law, the agents of all the creditors; that if the respondents denied the insolvency of the .firms, they were entitled to have that issue tried by a Jury, but that it was wholly un? necessary ta show any act of bankruptcy on the part of the respondents, the copartner? ships, being respectively insolvent; and the member of each of them having asked tbe benefit of the Bankrupt act, the question before the court became purely a legal one, and that the firms of Grady & Hawthorn and Grady, Hawthorn & Tur by ti ll must of necessity be adjudicated bankrupts.

PEABODY'S STATUE IN LONDON.-Mr. Peabody's statue cannot escape the fate of al j London sta tnary. If no fault is found with the sculpture, its position does not escape criti? cism. The Builder says: The committee went all the way to Borne to get a sculptor, Mr. W. W. Story, who is an American, (and an able man, too.) and coul' rot find a founder to put the work into metal nearer than Munich-Frederick Miller. After all this long travel, and the expenditure of some ?3000, what is the result ? We answer, with regret, an entire mistake and disappoint? ment-at leaat for the present. The excellent philanthropist sits hatless in an ordinary libra? ry chair, without a single touch of ideality to make it other than a seated man most awk? wardly placed among some irregularly-shaped buildings apropos of nothing, and square with nothing. The first impression on seeing the figure is that it is something op for sole; the second, especially if there be a number of persons gathered round about it,that it is an auctioneer, not for sale, but Belling. We are not joking, neither do we desire uselessly to find fault. Our object is improvement, if possible. Tbe fig ure cannot remain where it is. Be? fore the permanent pedestal is ready to be erected a better site should be found for it, and a carefully designed canopy should be put over the statue. The stalwart form of good George Peabody, io hts coat and trousers, as he lived, sitting without his hat among the in? surance offices at tbe back of the Exchange, in a pelting shower of pea-soupy foe, is a sight that surely cannot long be endured, even in London. THE GETTYSBURG GATHERING. General Lee Can't See It-Only One Con? federate Officer Present. Tbe Gettysburg g a th erins, 88 a national af? faires a poor boflioess. Only one ei-Confod crate officer is present, and oar old toes may glorify themselves without the help of men who do not love them mncb better to-day than they did in 1863. The day for writing the history of om* battles has not yet come. A dispatch dated Gettysburg, August 23, says: Colonel Walter Harrison, of Richmond, Ya., Adjutant-General of General Pickett's division during and after the operations around Get? tysburg, is the only ex-Con federate officer here. General R. ?. Lee, on the 5th of August, wrote to the secretary of the Battle-Field Memorial Association that he had received an invitation to be present for the purpose of marking upon the ground by enduring me? morials of granite the positions and move? ments of tin armies on the field, and adds: _ "My engagements will not permit me to be present. I believe if there I could not.add an vt h ins material to the information existing on that subject. I think it wisest, moreover, not to keep open the sores of war, but to fol? low the example of those nations who.endea? vored to obliterate the marka of civil strife, and to commit to oblivion the feelings it on gendered." General Fitzbugh Lee said in re? ply to tbe invitation extended to him, which letter was sent ihroueh General R. E. Lee: "It will not be in my power to be present, but any information I possess will be ? cheerfully ren? dered. If the nation is to continue as a whole, it is better to forget and forgive rather than perpetuate in granite proofs of its civil wars." THE GERMAN TURNERS. A Peculiar and Praiseworthy Organiza, tlon-Its Platform and Objects. Sociability is one of the national character? istics of thc Germina, hence a majority of them bave formed themselves into all sorts of socie? ties, for charitable purposes, physical and men? tal improvement, and last, but by no means least, of mutual enjoyment. Among their.nu? merous societies, that o? the '"Turner Band1' constitutes a leading feature. "Torner,'' tor which we have no proper word in the English language, as lb 3 art is purely German, though imitated of late by other nations, is a science which teaches gymnastics, such as fencing, boxing, jumping, climbing, lifting great weights, wrestling, and m'Any other similar ' physical exercises, with which, however, men? tal feats-singing, music, debating, declaim? ing, Ac-are connected. A brier history of the origin aud progress of this novel science novel at least on this continent-may not be entirely without interest to the public; hence we will endeavor to give a brief synopsis of such items in regard to lt as we are able to gather. Tho aims and objects of the Turner Bnnd (society) are bast, explained by their platform: The North American Turner Bund (society) makes it its principal object to educate men to a robust physical condition and enlightened views; to ase all proper ?^eansin the reform of social, political and religious relations, and the realization of innate human rights. The far? ther object nf tbe Turner Band is to promote all movements based upon rational ideas, and hence tba Turner's first duty is to combat sla? very, (now extinct,) and nat i vis rn; to uphold freedom of conscience, and to counteract all efforts to suppress any agitations again t human or democratic, (by which no political party is meant,) principles. The Turners' Baud con? siders the management of many or oar public affairs dangerous to ?rue liberty; hence it makes il incumbent upon tbe different branches of its society to enlighten its members upon all politi? cal topics and to guard against political cor? ruptions. Farther, it is tbe duty of the Baad to assist to its utmost capacity io the erection of good schools, in oider to give the youth a moral and unbiased education. The art of "taming," or physical exercises, has already been practiced by the Greeks at the time their empire was in its zenith, but has, from time to tima, been revived since, owing to the adage that "only a sound body is able to contain a sound soul." Basedow, in bis "Philanthropy," whiob appeared in Germa? ny in 1776, gave the first impulse to that then obsolete art. Malzmau, in his treatise on gymnastics, which appeared in Schnepfentbal in the year 1793, and J. Chr. Fr. Gutsntath, (who died on the 21st of May, 1839.) in bis "Gymnastios for tbe Tooth." attracted the at? tention of pedagogues and scientific men in Germany lo this manly art. The rising of th J German people against its oppressors gave the promulgators of the art occasion to ase tbe same fer political purposes. Even J. H. Pesta? lozzi, (who died on the 17th of February, 1827,) Germany's greatest p?dagogue, issued a work in 1807, at Hfesren, relating thereto. It was, however, left to Frederick Ludwig Jahn, abo wes born on the lit h of Aaeust, 1778, and died on the 15th of October, 1852, to crown the art with success. Hence the namo of "Father Jahn" is a household word among limers. It was bim who called into actual existence tbe resisting spirit against politioal and ruonarchial oppressions, and wbo told the people that they must rely on their m?seles and educate their youth accordingly. In all the battles which the Germans fought for po? polar richta and against the encroaching pow? ers of aristocrats and monarchies, tho 'Turn? ers" rendered the most valiant services. Many others ot Germany's most distinguished men, persons imbued with a spirit of trae liberty, devoted their time, means and capacities to the promotion of thia patriotic movement, un? til it has actually becom J a popular art in that country, and is now taught in all public institu? tions of learning. -s .. SB .. ? THX MEDITATED WBONQ UPO? VIBALNU. We learn that a brother of Governor Walker, of Virginia, now in tLis city, recently had an in? terview with General Canny, in which the lat? ter distinctly declared bia purpose to enforce the test oath against tbe members ot the Legislature. The object of Mr. Walkei's call apon General Can by was to ascertain his real intentions, concerning whic'a many conflicting statements have appeared in print. General Canby tola his visitor that Virginia could not be regarded as a State defacto until after her senators were elected sud admitted to Con? gress. Tbeiefore, tho new constitution which abrogates I he test oath was not now in force, and members of the General Assembly (although elected under it) could not bj ex? empted from taking the oath. Bayoud tins important point, the military ruler of Virginia did not choose to be very communicative. It is evident that he is waiting for more precise instructions from Washington; and it may be that he will have to wait for some time yet. The Cabinet seems to be split ap on the sub? ject. The more Conservative portion, such as Governor Fish and Generals Rawlins and Cox, are said to oppose tho test oath tyranny, but are overawed by such fiery Radicals as Bout well and Hoar, and the outside pressure of Radical senators and Congressmen. Presi? dent Grant is represented as on tho fence ready to tip either way according to the pre? ponderance of advioe, but wo cannot lend tull credence to thal statement. There is no doubt, however, that a plot is meditated by which all the fruits ot the late Virginia elections are to be destroyed, and that tue present delay is only tbe hesitation natural to men possessing some degree of conscience as they stand on the brink ot intended wrong- doing. [New York Journal of Commerce. ROBB EBB rn TBOOBLB.-There has been for i some lime a band of robbers plying between the northeastern portion of this and Robeson County, N.

The captain of this .pang of despe? radoes is named Henry Berry Laramore, who has fled for safety into the section above stated. Their foroe has been recently increased by an additional number.

REGRO RIOT Hf GEORGIA. Hire? Prominent citizen* Seised by a? Negro Mob-Their Reeeue and Cap? tare of the \egroes. The Savannah Advertiser of Tuesday gives the following account of a negro riot, which ia reported to have taken place in Barke County, Georgia: From a gentleman who arrived yesterday morning on the train from Macon, we learn the following particulars of a negro riot in Burke County, which, but for the prompt measures of the white citizens, would have been attended with most serious result?: It appears that the dead body of a negro was found on Sunday morning at Herndon, ?tai ion No. 9, on the Central Railroad. The cause of his death was unknown, but the negroes in that vicinity at once attributed it to tbo Ku Elnz; and as a rumor to this effect soon circu? lated, gaining additional horrors as it spread, the excitement among them became intense. From all the neighboring plantations they began to assemble, evidently summoned by some controlling authority, until at least three hundred armed men were holding angry coun? cil. Without going into any examination or in? quiry as to the cause of the death, they deter? mined to take tho law into their own hands or rather to disregard all law, and hang three of thc most prominent citizens of tbe place, as they alleged, in retaliation for the murder of oie of their color. Accordingly, they arrested turee brothers named Jones-most respectable citizens, and doubtless well known to many in Savannaja^-wliom they dragged away from their terrraed families without explaining tho nature of their designs upon them, or allowing a Inst word, and burned into the woods. Without delay, they began to make prepara? tions to bu mr their three victims, who now, lor the tir?t time, realized the horrible fate await? ing them. With admirable presence ot mind one of the brothers bet, ged to bu allowed to go under escort to nay farewell to the families of thc three, and give some last direct ions to them. To this the yelling demons would not accede; but finally, through the intercession ot one of j the negroes, whose heart was hardly as black as bli skin, they consented, and the brothers rarted with this slender thtcat) of hope buoy? ing them up, that the delay might aff rd time for a rescue. Arrived at his house, Mr. Jones managed to escape from his escort and make his way to thc station just as a train was cornice in. Bis story was quickly told, and, as quickly as a locomotive could do it, the trained wau backed down to Millen, where a force of fifty armed men were hurriedly collected and enron te for the scene of th's outrage.

To tks People of South Carolina: The above Company was organ zed in 1866, in consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Southern policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled success of the enterprise baa forced several of these companies to restore their Southern policies, from the fact that they could not operate in our midst without tbe appearance of honesty. We keep all our money at home to build up our Impoverished country-every dollar of premium being safely invested in tbe state from which it ia de? rived. The institution is purely Southern, and hence shou'd sppeal with great force to the patriotism and and sympathy of every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to moke war on other com? panies, but to exhibit the special advantages offered by this purely Southern Company-founded on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to liabilities-the true test of a company's strength-is second to none on thia continent, being nearly $300 to $100. Whenever and wherever we have presented the claims of thia Company, it bas not only enliatedthe sympathies of our people, buthaa also secured their hearty co-operation. We have secured 600 policies in South Carolina since the 10th of February. We number among our Directors General Wade Hamp? ton and colonel Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well known to every citizen of South Carolina. We ap? peal personally to the people of South CarolnfJJato assist in pushing forward thia deservedly popular Southern institution.

August 19_2mos 05-PAD)LESS DIGESTION.-"NO MAN," says Sir Astley Cooper, "ou ?ht to know by his sen? sations that he has a stomach." In other words, when digestion ia perfect there ia neither pain nor uneasiness in the region where it takes place. Nau? sea, want of appetite, flatulency, oppression after sating, shooting pains in the epigastrium, a flush, lng of the face at meal times, and a furred tongue in the morning, are among the direct symptoms of in? digestion. Constipation, biliousness, headache, ner? vous irritability, physical weakness, and low*spirits, are Its almost invariable accompaniments. All these indications of dyspepsia, whether immediate or secondary, are usually aggravated by hot weather. The close of snmmer ls, therefore, tbe season when the victim of dyspepsia most urgently needs a tonic and regulating medicine. Ot course, every invalid bas many advisers. One friend recom? mends one drug, another another; butin a multi? tude of counsellors there is not always sate ty. Tbe standard rcmedv of the present age for indigestion, m all ita stages, is H03TErrm'S STOMACH BIT? TER*. Time, that proves all things, has estslished its reputation on an Impregnable foundation-the spontaneous testimony of millions of intelligent witnesses. No acrid oil or acid defiles ita stimula? ting principie; its tonic constituents are the finest that botanical ra search baa yet discovered; i' com? bines the properties of a gentle ?vacuant, a blood d?purent, andan anti-bilious medicine, with invigo? rating qualities of the highest order, and is admit? ted both by the publio and the prolession to be the rarest protection against all diseases that are pro? duced or propagated by pestiferous air or unwhole? some water, that hie ever been used either in the On ited States or tropical America. In cases of constipation resulting from a want of muscular tone in the intestines, the effect of the BITTERS is perfectly marvellous; and without the dangerous sequences of mercury, it restores tte disordered liver to a normal condition.
