[SP >CIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.] WASHINGTON, November 2-10 P. M. The latest returns so far received from the Northern State elections, which toot place to-day, indicate that New YorK has gone Democratic by a reduced majority, and that the Massachusetts Legislature will be divided on the much vexed question of liquor prohibition, the Senate being Tor and the House against it. Official advices from Central America state that the Colombian Government is repenting of its aaste in refusing to ratify the treaty conceding to the United States the privilege of constructing an intcroccanic canal across the American Isth j^mos. It begins to bc apparent that the Integrity of the Republic of Columbia depends, in great measure, upon the construction of this work, for the State of Panama threatens to secede and set np for itself, if the interior Colombian States per? sist m refusing to enter into the just and reasona? ble arrangement proposed by the United States. . Charles H. Burkhead was to-day appointed As sistant Assessor of the Eighth Division, Third District, of South Carolina. The President to-day recalled his promise to visit the Mechanics' Fair in Baltimore to-morrow. There was a Cabinet meeting to-day, bnt owing to the absence of three members no business of importance was transacted. Secretary Belknap made his first anpe rance upon this occasion as a Cabinet minister. [FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.] WASHINGTON, November 2. The Bupreme Court to-day heard the Grape? shot case from New Orleans. Thc case Involves the question of the constitutionality of Lincoln's provisional courts in the subjugated portions of the country. It was contended that snch courts teeing Invalid, the subsequent action of Congress cannot give validity to their decrees. There was a Cabinet meeting to-day, at which were present all bot Fish, Robeson and Cress? well. The two wings of the tariff lobby promise to be an usually strong this session. Butterfield is still Assistant Treasurer at New Tork. The demanded Investigation and privilege or resigning are still withheld. It is stated that Morton, Butler and Bingham wfji speak early in the session for recognition of the Cubans. Belknap was serenaded to nigh?, and made a speech favoring the extension of suffrage, but made no allusion to Texas or Mississippi. He thought his State's record was as bright as the brightest and that her eighty thousand troops had no 'eelmg of hostility towards the South. THE ELECTIONS. BOSTON, November 2. The vote is comparatively small. The vote of Boston was: Claflin, 8000: Adams, 11,000, and Chamberlain, the Workingman's candidate, 600. Claflin's majority in the State is estimated at 20,000. George M. Brooks, Republican, elected from the Seventh District, formerly represented by Secre? tary Boutweu, succeeds Bout well. The complexion of the Legislature is undecided. The antl-prohibttlonists are having torchlight processions, with banda of music. CHICAGO, November 2. The election of the citizens' ticket ls conceded. BALTIMORE, November 2. The Democratic vote In every precinct is light. The majority in the city, however, wiU be about 9000. NXWTOBX, Novembers. Reports from 14 wards show a Republican gain of -woo. The probability is that the Democrats will carry the State. Reports from counties where a large Republican vote was polled show a considerable falling off. LATER.-The city gives 45,000 majority for the Democrats. The returns from the interior show heavy Democratic gains, indicating that the ^tate has gone Democratic. Greeley will get a majority of about 7000. Both branches of the Legislature will probably be Republican. DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN ALABAMA. , MOBILE, November 2. The election passed without the slightest dis? order. The vote war light, the total in the city being 5214; Democratic majority 755.

The negro militia excitement is unabated. A company has been sent to the upper part of Wake County, and are'creating much distur? bance, making threats and insulting females. A party waited on the Governor to-day on the sub? ject, but got no satisfaction. The militia are all negroes, even the officers. A collision is con? sidered Inevitable unless these troops are with? drawn, for the people are provoked almost past endurance. EUROPE. LONDON, November 2.

J TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. In view of the much-vexed question of who is Flour Inspector, the many suits at law, Ac, and, not least, the great inconvenience and an? noyance experienced for some time by the mer? chants, would it not bc advisible for all parties to discontinue their suits at law, come to a general compromise, and fall back on the old experienced Flour Inspector'- This, wc arc assured, would give general satisfaction, and would allow busi? ness to be conducted In a quiet and desirable manner. This is the wish of FLorn MERCHANTS. A NE W CO UNTT TROTOSED. Joint Meeting of citizens of Edgrfield and Lexington. A meeting of the citizens of Edgcfield and Lexington Counties was held at Batesvllle on the 30th ult., for the purpose of discussing the pro? priety of forming a new county of thc adjoining portions of said counties..

Organization of a Cotton Factory. DOVE'S DEPOT, October 30. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Thinking that it might be an item of some Interest to your numerous readers, and to the friends of home enterprise generally, I give you thc proceedings, in part, of a meeting held at Dove's Depot, on the 30th October, for the purpose of organizing the Black Creek Cotton Factory Company. There being something over two hun? dred shares represented, the meeting was organ? ized by calling Colonel J. A. Law to thc chair, and requesting Mr. J. L. Dove to act as secretary. An election was then had for officers of thc company, which resulted as follows: President, Colonel J. A. Law: Board of Directors-Captain J. A. Wil hams, Colonel J. R. King, Georgia; Captain L. R. Ragsdale, Captain E. M. Griffin, B. A. Early, C. H. DeLorme, Jerome P. Chase, Dr. H. J. Lee, M. B. Gandy, C. H. Race, L. W. Side, E. E. Evans; Secre? tary and Treasurer, J. L. Dove. Several letters from prominent gentlemen favoring the enter? prise were then read, after which the meeting adjourned._J. L. D. OUR GREAT STAPLE. Cotton Considered as a Source of Na? tional Wealth-The Present and Fu? ture of the Cotton States. In the report of Mr. B. F. Nou-se, United States Commissioner at the Paris Exposition, wc find the following: During ten years-18.11 to 1800-the crops pro? duced lu thc cotton-growing States, (colton, sugar, tobacco, nee, Ac.,) not consumed at home, left a surplus of proceeds from sales amounting to about $1,200.000,000, an average of $120,000,000 per year, which, less the amount required tobe expended beyond their borders for lac comforts of luxuries of life, should have been so much added to the reproductive capital within those States. If one-half only was thus required, the other half, or $co,u?o,ouo per year, should have ' been put to profitable use. Throughout the Southern States some internal improvement wasiu progress, chiefly in the form of railroads. In some States, as In Georgia, these works had been largely extended. Cheaply built and economically operated, they generally proved to be profitable investments, capable of rapidly repaying the loans incurred for their construc? tion, which in many eases covered a great part of the cost. A large amount of banking capital was well employed, but this, when not owned abroad, was chiefly the product of thc commission and other charges upon the produce of the country, and not to any considerable extent drawn from the ac? cumulating capital of planters. The capital which hud built the few cotton and other factories and the machine shops had also accrued chiefly from charges upon the productions of the country. What, then, was done with the $00,oou,0oo, or whatever oilier sum represented the true annual gains of agriculture in these Slates ? Thc statistics of population show pretty clearly that a great part of it was expended iu importing slaves from other States. PRESENT AND FUTURE INCREASE OF WKALTU IN THK COTTON STATES. When considering this subject in its economical aspect only, special effects bf arlng upon individu als and classes are to be disregarded for the gene? ral results affecting the whole community. Population is wealth. Money sent from Ala? bama to Virginia, to increase thc laboring power 1 of Alabama, even by importing slaves at $2000 '. each, added in some degree to the wealth of that State. But ir laborers of equal productive power ' could have been introduced, without expending 1 anything for them, the capital expended in the i other case would have been saved, and the com- < munity would have gained its usc in some other form of productive power, as in tools, machinery 1 or animal labor, with which to supplement anil i increase the value of manual labor. Tothewhol"- , people of the State, that is just the difference in the investment, betweeu importing a slave and 1 Importing a free laborer of equal capacity. There i arc other differences to thc .State, scarcely less important in an economical view, ail in favor of the free laborer. Whatever the cotton producing States expended for slaves above the cost of im? porting an equal amount of free labor power was twice lost to the community. Reckoning the slaves in the cotton States prior to 1861 at 3,000,000 in number, of thc average nominal value of $500, equal to 1,000,000 full hands, at $1500 each, wc had an Investment of $1,500,000,000; and to replenish this force a large sum, much needed for other uses, was annually drawn from the gains of those States. If, In i860, the people, by unanimous consent, had declared the emancipation of all those slaves, whether with or without compensation to those who had owned their service, there would have been neither loss nor gain to the community, ex? cept as the change might increase or di? minish the efficiency of labor or thc cost of its maintenance. There would have been no "an? nihilation of property,for thc whole labor power would have remained as before, only it would have changed owners. While lt is undoubtedly true that free labor is always cheaper than slave labor, when each ls under its most favorable conditions, the demon? stration of that truth needs more favorable cir? cumstances than were found in the years 1866 1807. lt was not until 18G8, the third season of the free-labor experiment, that it became gene? rally successful In Its operations and results. Then improvement appeared, and the harvest, abundantly supplying the people with cheap food, leaves a surplus stored up for thc future. The profit arising from thc sale of exportable produc? tions of the same season will amount to $250, 000,000; and a reasonable forecast of thc future seems a promise of equal gain in some of the suc? ceeding years, the increase of quantity compen? sating for any reduction of price. The annual gain, be it fifty million! or two hun? dred and titty million, is no longer tobe wasted in the purchase of labor, when as good, or better will he obtained without purchase: yet the capi? tal must be employed and will seek Investment. For some years very little will be needed in open? ing fresh lands, of which there ls already too much open for the labor applicable to it. After meeting the demands of agriculture it will seek other proPtable uses, as in bankin^, railroads, manufactures, machine shops, and the other ac? tive employments which capital linds for Itself. Prominent among the improvements, that of re? constructing the levees and reclaiming the most fertile of cotton and cane lands should be one if the first, and rightly conducted one of the most profitable for the employment of money. WANT OF LABORERS. Now that capital is returning into the cotton States, the great want there will be labor, a better use of what they have and more of lt, to extend their profitable agricultural business, yet carry? forward the other works which will be required. So far, the prevailing conditions in the South have not been attractive to immigrants. Poor crops, dear food, destitution of the common laborer, and these evils too often aggravated by disorder and violence, were reported during the years 1866 and 1867. The prosperity of 1868 stands in marked con? trast to the adversities of the two years preced? ing. A similar prosperity repeated in succeed? ing years, until it shall bc regarded as thc rule and'not the exception, supported hy assurance of peace and safety, will turn the tide of emigration freely from the Northern States and from Eurolie to tue cotton growing States. During thc present year, the Pacific Railroad will be completed and open? ed, a highway by which the Chinese and other coolies or Asiatic laborers may reach thc cotton fields of the United States. They are industrious, frugal, quiet and numerous. THE EIRE IX NEW YORK. An Entire Family Suffocate ti? lt has been briefly stated that a fearful ca. lamlty occured last Thursday night at a building on Liberty street. New York. Tile New York Post, of Saturday afternoon, furnishes the fol? lowing particulars : About half-past o o'clock a fire was discovered in tho roar of the second floor, No. 63 Liberty street, occupied as a printing office by E. S. Ray? mond. The Janitor or thc building, a man named Jessup, who, with his family, consisting of wife and two children, occupied thc top floor, first de? tected the fire. He went down stairs to investi? gate the matter, and finding the situation of thc fire, passed on to the street, where he hailed a Soliceman and requested him to raise an alarm, [eanwhlle the wife, became frightened and ran down stairs, leaving the children alone up stairs. The Janitor met her and assured her that there was no danger, and they returned up stairs. But thc fire gamed rapidly, and thia was thc last seen of them alive. An engine company arrived at the fire a few seconds later. The second floor was now In flames, and the announcement was made that a family was on the top floor. When they heard this the tlremen labored with great heroism and ardor. They carried a stream np the staircase, fighting their way through the flames, inch by inch, until they pene? trated to the upper floor, where the whole family was found suffocated. The father was lying under the scuttle stairs, and the mother, with her arms about her chil? dren, was all near by, lying on their faces. It was apparent that, finding retreat cut off, Jessup had endeavored to rescue lils family by way of the scuttle, but finding the latter locked, had fallen back and been suffocated by thc smoke. An Inquest was held at'tho Beckman street station house Saturday, to which place the bo? dies had been carried. After viewing thc bodies Coroner Flinn adjourned the Inquest until Fire Marshal Brackett shall have made a full Investi? gation into all the circumstances connected with the sad affair, lt is said that there arc several suspicious Incidents connected with the matter which lt is necessary to have brought to light by thc marshal before proceeding with thc Inquest. A CURIOUS SURGICAL SUCCESS. Transfusion of Blood. The Medical Record, for October 1, publishes an account by Dr. Joseph Buchscr, of New York, of a successful operation of a kind commonly dreaded and avoided by the most skilful surgeons. The patient, a young Cermau woman, lost much blood after an attack of typhus fever, became re? duced in strength, and was apparently dying. As a hist hope, Dr. Bucliser proposed to her hus? band this dangerous operation of a transfusion of healthyblood from his vigorous body Into her veins. The husband consented, and Dr. (iulcke, who was called in consultation, assisted at the experiment. Thc following account ls given of what occurred: After a satisfactory trial of thc transfusion syringe of Eulcnburg-Landois, we proceeded to the operation. Wc bandaged her rigid upper arm, previously having done the same to her vigorous and healthy husband, aged twenty-seven. A graduated glass, ready to receive the blood, and syringe, were lying in the water of 40 deg. C. The median basilio vein was the most prominent. I made au incision of an inch in length, and dis? sected thc skin till the vessel appeared, covered by Its sh?a'h. The cellular tissue of the vein was raised and cut, a soudc introduced in thc hollow, the cellular tissue lu both directions separated and thc vein was free. An cared-curved soude, provided with two silk threads, was pushed under thc vein; both threads were separated ut a distance ol' about Osee. Thus by raising these threads every flux and re? flux of blood was impossible, at the same time the Influx of ulr after the opening of the vein was prevented. We then proceeded to the venesection of the husband. During a pownr:'ul flow of the blood a solution of carb. sod':, .'-'a OC*<), was added-3 grains to dr. ij. aq.; as far as it united with thc blood the same took a lively red color. Lifting the vein, a V-shaped incision was made with a small scissors. The large syringe of Eulcnburg Landois was rapidly lilied, surrounded by a wann cloth, the canule affixed, the air expelled, aud the point or the syringe introduced in the vein about twelve seconds. The transfusion of about two ounces was easily accomplished. At once a de? cided resistance was reit: Immediate change or position of the canute proved or no avail. Thc sy? ringe waa withdrawn, the canule detached; co? agulated blood was round in it. Syringe and ca? nule were emptied and cleaned," abortt three ounces of fresh blood were received in the instru? ment, and above one ounce was again injected. Thc patient, who could nol possibly beames thcUzed, underwent Hie operation with ease. The vain was on both sides underbound; the patient looked instantly refreshed, and said, *I feel better.'' She relished at once a glass ol claret and water. lu three-quarters of an hour the operation was accomplished. Pulse immediately after the oper? ation had rallen to HG, respirations, 10. Une'liour later, pulse los. respirations, 18. Daring thc afternoon patient reit very hungry and thirsty; took light food and drunk a pint bot! lc or claret. Evening, pulse 110, respirations, 22, temperate, 377 degrees 5 C. Thc great danger or this operation lies in thc possibility or Injecting coagulated fibrine :nto thc vein, or a bubble or air, either or which will be ratal to thc patient. Dr. Buchscr thinks his plau cit using "dellbrinated blood," and that arter Dienen bach's method, as described In this paper, Et perrect security against both dangers, or course, no unpracticed hands, and no mind un? familiar with the history or tranrusiou, both in Its few brilliant successes and in its terrible acci? dents, will venture to attempt such an operation is this. But a iew such cases os this would afford ?he hope that, In skilful hands, transrusjon or >lood may become a powerful agent tor good, In in important class oreases. TUE BURNING OF TUE STONEWALL. Full Particulars; of the Catastrophe Statement of thc Survivors-Horrible Scents- Incidents, ??tc. Thc full accounts furnished by thc telegranja published In THE NEWS or Friday last, leave but few of the main facts of the late fearful catastro? phe on thc Mississippi River to record. The causes which prevented an extiBguishmeut of the flames, the appalling scenes inseparable from all such dire calamities, and thc hair-bteadth escapes and death struggles of the passengers, as furnished by Western exchanges, are, however, of painful in? terest. The St. Louis Republican gathers its facts from survivors who returned to that city by the Helle Memphis, and from the columns of that pa? per the following extracts are made: DErARTFJtE OF THE BOAT. The Stonewall left St. Louis at six o'clock on Tuesday evening, with thirty-five cabin passen? gers, one hundred and sixty-five deck passengers, seventeen oillcers, thirty-eight deck crew, twenty cabin crew, and a freight of five thousand barrels of flour, five hundred sacks of oats, one hundred and fifty bales of hay, a large -quantity of bacon and pork, some petroleum, and one hundred and lift v mules. Ata quarter past six o'clock on Wednesday evening the Stonewall reached a point opposite Keeley's Landing, one hundred and twenty miles below St. Louis. TOE FIRST ALARM. Herc the cry of "fire" was given by one of thc deck passengers, who shouted to George w. Ful? ton, the first engineer, then on duty. Harkness had set in and the alarm came with a terrible sig? nificance. The boat was at a point where the river ls one and a half miles wide, with much that was combustible on hoard, and with no means ol'escape except what might be Obtained by running the vessel against the bank. Fulton rushed out and saw a bale of hay in the aft por? tion of the boat burning. So small was thc fire that it could have been extinguished with one or two buckets of watvr if they had boen at hand but these were not there. SPREAD OF THE FLAM Ii.-". The hay was piled up to the boiler deck and thc flames spread with great rapidity, extending from hale to bale of hay, communicating next to the. drv woodwork of the boat, aud it wa1? seen nt a glance that the stonewall was doomed. The majority of the deck passengers were at the time congregated aft, and a panic which rendered them powerless to do anything to prevent thc im? pending destruction ensued among them. Fulton left his engines, and, unaided, except by one or two persons, essayed to prevent thc spread of the devouring element. He got the section hose and went over to the donkey engine to attach lt. His efforts were, however, fruitless. The people had become frantic, and moved rapidly in a dense stream forward. Fulton found (hut he could not advance aft one step and hegave lt up In despair. Previous to this he had snouted through the speaking trumpet to Fulkerson, the pilot, to land the boat as soon as possible. Thc boat was round? ing towards the Missouri bank when lt grounded on a reef called Tea Table bar, and remained im? movable some two hundred yards from the shore, with deep water intervening. In five minutes after the alarm, the Hames bad extended over all thc aft portion and a considerable part of the for? ward portion of thc boat. Thc deck passengers rushed towurd the forecastle, every inch of which was covered with shrieking and' dreadfully af? frighted mass of humanity. To complete the generul consternation, the mules dashed among the people, trampling on and crushing them to death. PASSENGERS. LEAP INTO TOE RIVER. While this scene was transpiring on thc main deck, what were the cabin passengers doing "> They had Just set down to supper when a terrible turmoil arose, and they learned at once that thc boat was on fire. In that awful moment they vainly looked ?or a loophole to escape from the fate which threatened them. Below, aft and for? ward there was a furnace of untold fierceness, and on each side there was a waste of waters, which, indeed, offered a preferable fate to thc other. Thc cabin passengers choose to accept the risk of a milder fate, and they Jumped from the boiler deck into the watery chasm, between land and lund, below. The deck passengers also leaped Into the river, as they became nore and more hotly pressed by the flames, lu ten minutes from the first alarm, the Stonewall was enveloped in flames from stem to stern, from main deck to pilot house-a vast funereal pyre. By this time all wi: ) could had jumped off thc boat and were struggling for life in the rapid current. Very few were able to save themselves. The great majority were, it is feared, drowned almost immediately. EFFORTS TO ESCAPE. While the deck passengers and crew were hud? dled together on the forecastle, E. P. Watson the carpenter of thc boat, endeavored to get some of them to assist him in putting the stage plank overboard. It would have floated, it was believed, one hundred persons to the land, but thc passen? gers were struck helpless by the prospect of the horrible fate staring them in thc face, and failed to launch the plank. Fifteen feet of lt was push? ed over the side. About twenty persons got on it, some were pushed off, and about sixteen man? aged to cling to it until they were taken off in a skiff which was sent from the shore. Fulton, thc engineer, stayed at his post until be was driven from lt by the flames, und jumped overboard. He started to swim towards thc land, but found thc mules so numerous in the water that he could make no progress, and so swam into the wheel-house. He clung here in fancied security until the lines holding the levers burned off and the wheel commenced to revolve. It made three revolutions, and he was caught by lt and con? siderably bruised. BIT ONE SKIFF AVAILABLE. There was only one skiff available to take pas? sengers from the burning wreck. It made seve? ral trips from the boat to the land. Besides be? ing the means of escape for those on the stage plank, it was used to take Fulton from his peri? lous position. He was the last brought away; af? ter that no one escaped from Hie boat. It was feared thai some, hemmed in by the flames, were burned to death, and rumor had it that some met with such a dreadful fate in the cabin. How many, will never be known. It can only be hoped that they all succeeded In Jumpiug Into the river and got to" shore. The coal oil-fortunately not a large quantity-and thc bacon burned very fiercely. The Stonewall was burned to the wa? ter's edge in about one hour and a half after the fire WILS discovered. But long before this there was no living soul in it. A TERRIBLE SCENE. The scone was a terrible one-one never to be forgotten by the survivors. The lamentations, groans und shrieks of dying men and women, mingled with the noise of the cracking timbers, and, to intensify the horror of the moment, burn lug spars, fenders and beams, fell over Into the water, where nearly two huudred human beings were tryiug to save" themselves from the jaws of death. AID FROM TUE SHOP.K. There were numbers of peopio on the shore who had flocked from the houses in the neighbor? hood of the lauding, but they were unable to give any assistance except what a few could render with the tiny fklil' before mentioned. They saw many an unfortunate passenger taking his lost leap, and, as some who lind managed lo get hold of a spar or piece of timber drifted from thc wreck, they eagerly sought lo give a helping hand to some pour fellow as he neared the shore. The people did all they possibly could to mitigate the horrors or the night, and at ditrerent points of the river, lor a mile below, assisted persons to get on shore. The number so saved, lt is regret? ted, was but small. STATEMENT OF MK. R. A. PHELPS. R. A. Phelps, Esq., of Shreveport, La., states that there were a large number of laborers aboard as deck passengers, who were en route to labor on a Southern railroad. When Mr. Phelps lirsl heard thc alarm und saw the indications ol' fire, it was iu the rear or the ladies' cabin. Ile ran up to the Texas and communicated tiie alarm lo Cap? tain J. C. Duty, of Rapides Parish, Louisiana, and when he returned Immediately to thc cabin thc Humes had made fearful headway, and the ex? citement and confusion was unparalleled. Ile at once threw ott his coat and boots, put ou a life preserver and leaped into the river from thc boil? er deck. At thistinic the boat, he thinks, was not more Ulan two huudred yards from the Missouri shore, and when lie jumped over his feet touche?) bottom, bul un going a few steps thc water became deeper and be bad lo swim. Three times between the boat and the shore he tried to touch bottom, ami the third time came near going down. For? tune favored him, however, ami he reached the shore more dead than alive. An old farmer, who among others had been attracted there hv the light from the burning boat, pulled off his coat and put il on Mr. Phelps, which \w thinks saved his life, as he was chilled through and through. Ile reels assured that Captain Doty was lost, also a North Missouri railroad conductor named Black? burn.

An Authentic Letter from the Outlaw Hlhlcrbranil-The Horrid Marder of thc HUilcrbrand Family-A Brother's Revenge-On thc Track of thc Union Arm y-M u r d c r and R a p 1 n c-Two Bushels of Radical Bullets Wasted. Thc, St Louis Times, of the 2Cth ultimo, publishes the following evidently authentic com? munication from Hilderbrand, the dare-devil out? law of Missouri: . MEJirms, TEXX., October 17,1S89. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ST. LOCIS TIMES. Sm-As "fair play" is one of the jewels of American character, and as it is considered right and proper to give even the "devil his due." I hope vou will not refuse to give to the public, through vour widely read paper, Sam Hllder brand's own statement of lils history since the beginning of the late terrible war: to the end that fair-minded men may judge whether there were not some good reasons and strong provocation for the desperate deeds charged against me. BARBAROUS MURDER OF ni3 BROTHER FRANK. When tho war began, I was leading a quiet, peaceable life, trying to provide for my family In an honest though humble sphere of life. In the condition of affairs In my part of Missouri, I had made up my mind to keep out of thc troubles and take uo part in the war. In 1862, my brother, Frank Hilderbrand, went into the State Guards under Jeir. Thompson. On Frank's return to see our mother anti family, he was captured by a mob headed by young McFlvane. Hy McElvaiie's order Frank was killed arter lils capture-his head was mashed, his body mangled and cut to pieces in such a shocking manner that the most barbarous savage would have blushed to have been guilty or the deed. His body was then thrown into a mineral hole fifty reet deep, and left to rot. A SISTER DIES OF A BROKEN ll EA KT. The next outrage committed on my kindred and family was thc murder of my brother, George Washington, and a Canadian named Mustache Landuskv, who was engaged to bc married to my sister Mary. These last murders were perpetrat? ed by merl In Union uniform, ami who were sol? diers in the Federal army. Two weeks after these tragedies my sister Mary died of trouble and a broken heart. A LITTLE RROTHER MURDERED. Two weeks later these men came to my mother's house and loaded several wagons with her prop? erty, drove orr all our cattle and set fire to her house, the best stone dwelling In the settlement. My poor, dear, broken-hearted mother seeing thc house burning, sent my little brother Henry to those heartless wretches and asked for the family BlMe as a relic to bc kept when all else was gone. Not dreaming of harm lo the little tender boy, what can express her horror and agony when these demons shot my little brother, not twelve years old, through the bowels, and a fiend then put his foot on his head and cut lils throat. Thus were these atrocious deeds or blood and cruelty and robbery committed on my kindred and fam? ily. Let auy man put thc question to his soul, whether such outruges would not have aroused him to tlesperate retaliation, at a time when thc law no longer had power to avenge a man's wrougs for him and for the sake or justice ! And yet, even then, I bore these accumulated outrages without lifting' a hand to avenge my brothers' and sister's blood. T'?7. DIE CAST-LIFE OR DEATO. Dur'rg all these outrages I had resolved not to go in thc Southern army, nor to meddle In the troubles m any way. I removed from Big Uiver to Flat Woods", distant twenty-five miles, hoping that no harm would befall me or my wife and children, ir 1 would get out or thc Immediate neighborhood or those who had murdered and outraged my ramify. But to my surprise, about the middle of May, just when my crop waa looking well, and hope was strong that I would bc left In peace, about sunrise one morning my house was surrounded by McElvane ami his crew ot some thirty or forty men, all well armed. I remembered the fate of my brothers and friends, slaughtered in cold blood like sheep after their capture, and 1 knew there was no hope or mercy or justice h om such demons; no help ex? cept in the courage and strength that God had given me. The die with mc was cast. I had sought peace and quiet, but the bloodhounds bad trailed mc. I was at bay. The conflict that 1 had tied from was forced upon mc. The alternative was Ufo or death. MURDERS WITHOUT NUMBER. I mei ray pursuers at thc door. I shot down two or them in their tracks, made a rush for the woods, and escaped. Finding it Impossible to live at or near home, I went to Arkansas, and after? ward got my wife and four children. The two j men killed In my door was the first blood ever shed by mc. Then, when a price waa set on my hcad.T determined to revenge thc death o* my brothers. I rode several times from Arkansas before I could get to shoot McElvane, the lnfa mous butcher, who had murdered my jrothers and sought my lifo. Then I meant to harm no one else ir they would leave me undisturbed; but some of the soldiers, piloted by Jim Craig, a very meddlesome spy, undertook to have me killed. In seir-defonce I turned loose on them and made many or those who sought my Ufo bite the dust. I often met them In the woods. They all knew me, and would offer to assist me. They would make an appointment to bring me provi? sions to my hiding places, and then would pilot soldiers there to try to have me captured. I al? ways kilted that kind or men. I have captured many Union soldiers, but I never treated them unkindly unless lt was one who had brutally treated Southern prisoners, and I knew lt. CLOTHES TORN FROM HIS BODY BY BULLETS. I have had huudreds of hairbreadth escapes for ray lifo; but I know there is a merciful God that knows and does all things right-an all powerful hand has protected me. I have twenty times been suddenly waked.ami lied from my bed, when a shower or Yankee balls would riddle thc bcd 1 had sprang ou? oi. I have Itart my clothes torn rrom my body with Yankee bullets, but two only ever drew blood 1'rora me. I Wish to say that I saw a Republican or June last, winch contains some charges against me that are not true, lt speaks or many cruelties committed by llildcrbraud In Callaway County, which arc utterly untrue. I never wus m Calla? way County lu my lifo. It also charges me with cruelty to a little boy. That Is also raise. 1 uever harmed a woman or child in my life. 1 warred only with men who had made war on me. I was also accused ot taking stock or Jim .Mci.am to the amount or $000. The neighbors all know that Jim Mci,alu always lived rrom baud to mouth, ami never hud anything to be stoleu or taken from him. SAM, COME nOME. Arter the excitement about the war. and its troubles seemed to die out, and men seemed to heal over past sores, in the spring or 180$, I came back to St, Francois County and talked to muni or the good people or the county concerning the propriety of returning to my old home. All I spoke to or all parties sahl. "Sam, come home." I came back In good raith. 1 moved to my mo? ther's old place and lived there six mouths. I then moved to Hillsboro' and Stayed there until last foll. Finding lt hard to make a living there.I moved on the Mississippi River, near Rush Tower, and chopped wood all last winter. I then moved back to tuc Three Rivers, on the Sam Herd place, to raise a crop. There I lived and worked until the 4th ot .lune last, when I was waylaid and shot by Jim McLonc, or Waller Evans,and two others, that I or my friends may yet call to account. Jim McLone, McQuInn and others waylaid my house to murder me. in April last, for several days. On the 4th ur June 1 was shot through thc thigh at my house. SnOOTIXQ JIM M'l.ANK, AND COOKING 8UTPER. I Went to my uncle William's where they at? tacked me six days arter. They shot all day at me there. I selected Jim McLane, whom l knew only by description, and shot him rrom thc house. Sheriff I ?reek i ii ridge and the '< i lance of ?ila party took good care or their scalps after I killed Mc? Lane. lt was then :? o'clock, and as 1 had eaten no breakfast or dinner. 1 cooked my own supper, and ale it while they kept tiring at mc. I was often amused to see my old aunt Williams dodging the balls as they came in through the cracks. They fired the house, ami as I had finished my supper, I abandoned my burning fortification. As i went om I counted thirty-five men guarding thc burning house. | saw George Doggett, Asa Jackson, Jo. McGahan and HHPs boy. When the house got too hot for comfort. 1 left "it, and walk? ed wiihin six reel or some or the guard. They seemed blind, or at least they did not offer to shoot me. A WARNING TO THE RADICALS. I wish to say to the Radicals in and about Farm? ington to beware how they mistreat my wile and children, as I hear they have had them under ar? rest by order ol' thc drunken Bowen, and I will say to Hob Hill ami Joe McGahan to walk smooth? ly and not let ray family suffer. They helped kill my brothers, but they have not yet killed me. Jim Mel.ane was a tool in the hands or that in? timons creature and coward. Gust. St. Gem, or st. Genevieve, who win some day, no matter where he may hide himself, have to answer for many crimes he planned, and was too cowardly to execute, but got others to do so for him. Mc? Lane murdered Judge Burk, or st. Genevieve, and and preacher Folk, over 83 years orage. I wish to say to Governor McClure that I could have easily killed him while lie was in Farmington if 1 hud wanted to do so, but I look on him as n gentleman, and that he is misled bv llsteuing to lies rrom bad men. who are Radicals. Two B USUELS OF RADICAL BULLETS. I have had two bushels or Radical bullets shot at me, but only two ever drew blood. The old Indian, when he fired fourteen shots at General Washington and missed every shot, said that the Great Spirit turned the ball aside. God has turn? ed away thc bullets aimed at my lifo, and I put my trust in Him and believe the balance or mv days will be spent'more happily. DON'T FOLLOW GRIZZLY BEARS. I am in as fine spirits and good health as I eve was. My wound is entirely healed, and I ari good for many years of life if my foes allow me to live in peace; and if they do not, on them bc thc consequences. Let spies and informers keep at a safe distance from me. I do not think I can be easily trailed: but still it ls safest for any person that hos a de? sire to hunt up Hilderbrand, to let that atone. Remember the greenhorn that started out to hunt grizzly bears in California. In order that those who know me and my fam? ily may know that thc writer of this is "Sam" Hilderbrand, and not a fictitious person, I wfll herc give the names of my wife and children. My wife. Margaret: children, Henry, Rebecca, Mary Elizabeth, Nancy Katharine, Margaret Ann, George Washington. Yours, SAM HILBERBRAND. Hot?! Arrivai?- November 2. CHARLESTON nOTEL. W. Ti. Cooper, J. G.

It ought to be known in every locality sub? ject to this scourge, or which ls infested with re? mittent fever, or any other epidemic produced by malaria, that HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS taken in advance or at the commencement of the unhealthy season, will fortify the system against the atmospheric poison which generates these distempers.

Such is the universal testimony from dis? tricts where periodical fevers have been combat ted with this powerful vegetable Chologogue. Lu a thievish neighborhood wise men bar their doors and windows, yet strange to say if the same neighborhood happens to be pervaded by ?rial poison they seldom take thc trouble to put their bodies in a state of defence against the subtle enemy.
