THINKS ABOUT BRANCHVILLE. An Encouraging Letter. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. BRANCHVILLE, April 22. Thc condition 01 affairs in this and the sur? rounding country is really encouraging. There ls less prejudiced feeling between both classes of our citizens at this time than at any period since the emancipation of the blacks; and with both races working together we have the prospects of better times before us. But I must admit that there is sufficient grounds for reform; our broken fortunes must be replaced, and to succeed in re? placing them we must go to work, and work with zealousness, both politically and otherwise. I say the condition t?f affairs looks encouraging, and my reasons are these: The farmers are nil planting on a larger scale this year than hereto? fore, and the freedmen have gone to work with a ?ea! that plainly foretells for them coming pros? perity. A great many of them have rented land, bought houses ami paid for them, and have pro? visions enough to feed them with during the working season. Besides, there are others that have bought land am! have paid for lt. This really look* like improvement on the part of the freed? men, who, n ft*7 years ago, were liberated from bondage, and with uot one cent to prepare for himself au earthly abode. The whites have also made considerable improvements; new dwellings have been erected lu the place of old and dilapi? dated one?, new plantations have been formed, with neat and stately mansions erected thereon. Yeas, with the harmony of both races, working together Tor a few more years, ive will be once more a prosperous and happy people. EDISTO. THE CITY DEBT. How to Pay lt. The following financial plans are published for public Information: ?lRST PLAN. L Redeem the whole debt of the city by an is? sue of sb: per ceLt. bonds, payable in thirty years, interest semi-annually In gold, at New York, not to be taxeu. 2. False by taxation $100.000 per annum, with which the City Treasurer Is to bny city stocks and bonds ind destroy them; he to advertise and pur? chase as low as possible. 3. Sell the assets of the city, such a ; stocks and bonds, am: buy up city Issues. Expenses of city (other than for interest,) no: to exceed 3o65,ooo. SECOND PLAN. 1. Same as above, except the exemption from rax. 2. Bond?, liable to a tax never to exceed l per rent., to be deducted from coupons when present? id for payment, aud forever free from auy other taxation. 3. Impose a special tax annually to meet Inter :st. to be held lu trust by the City Treasurer, and lever to be used for any other purpose. 4. Apply the monies "arcing from the tax oft lercenr. to the purchase, semi annually, nf Mid ss..3 of bonds. Bids to be open, and lowest oilers aken. THIRD PLAN. That the City Council should sell all the ns lets of the city except the public building ind White Point Garden, for city stock < lertlOcates of city indebtedness, and that thc lalancc of the then outstanding claims against he city should be settled by ?in Issue or thirty 30) ye irs bonds, Interest and principal para? de In coin, and which should be non-taxable iv the city, and asfura3 we can, bind posterity hat no future debt be contracted, and all Hie iresent holders of city stock be Invited to come a and change their present stock for this Issue. We cannot at present meet our city debt as lt. alls due; but we can pay the interest on all we we, and we have a right to ask the creditors or ! lie city to give us an extension of time, if we an show, as we think can be done, that tho i r errs t cnn bc paid punctually. Bx-Mayor Clark's Plan. That a crisis lu the affair?, particularly as re ites to the Indebtedness of the city, is approach lg rapidly, even supposing it not already pres ut, no one who either has a real estate interest, city stock Interest, or simply that Interest 'tf!bh wishes well towards the city and Its future, un be so unconscious as not to see, feel and know nit something must be doue, aud quickly, too, ) save'lie city of ">ir birth or adoption-lt mat ;rs not which-from pecuniary disgrace and re trdation of perhaps years lu lier material pros en ty. The city groans under Its weight of taxes, vied to meet its running expenses and ihe inter it on its debt of $1.000,000 and a little upward, sscued In part, however, by assets of stocks ld bonds valued at nearly If not quite Sl.ooo.ooo. The debt pressing, with all Its concomitant dis, upon her, will surely mid ascertain as death tn ki opt and rule all her future prospects unless ime systematic plan ls adopted by which the ;bt itself shall lose its strength and renown. Such a plan is within the reach of thc City Keen, lt ls offered, and If adopted by them 111 secure the payment of Hie whole debt at par. * the current murkei pri?es or Its stock in mar it as sold and purchased, without the repudia on of a single dollar, and all, too. lu the com? bative short space o? thirteen years. The plan as follows, based upon the Invariable rule of iterest: After proper legislation, lot the present city as its be sold, aud with the proceeds be purchased, j can be done, $1.500.000 of its stock as asinkiug ind. to which add annual y ?100,000-also to be ivested each year with the accumulated Interest t the year ia city stock.

VETERAN OFFICERS AND BRAVE SOLDIERS JOIN THE KHEDIVE'S ARMY. The Names of thc Young Recruits. Some weeks ago the New York Sun an? nounced that a large number or oftlcers formerly in the service of either of the two contending powers In thc great rebellion bad sworn alle? giance to Hie Viceroy of Egypt, and had contract? ed to help him Oght his battles till victory perched upon his banners and the trouble* which vexed him yielded to the force of Confederate arms and made way for the reign of glorious peace. The same journal, in its issue of Saturday, gives the following additional particulars, with thc names and records of the principal officers who are en? gaged in the new crnsadc: GENERAI. LOKING. Several months ago General Lorlng, formerly connected with the army of the West, but afore? time au officer of mark in t lie old United States army, left this city for Alexandria, and was soon followed by the old veteran General Sibley, thc inventor Of the standard tent. General Loring lost an arm at Matnraoras while commanding the First Mounted Rides, and during the rebellion served with distinction. In 1500 he settled lu New York, where, after a short career as a brok? er, bc failed lu business, giving up to lils credi? tors every dollar of lils property. He is au inti? mate friend of General Jordan, Commander-in Chief or the Patriot Army of Cuba, who has fre? quently urged him to take a command In the ever-faithful Isle. General Lorias holds the posi? tion of Drlgr.dier-General iu the Viceroy's service at a salary of S6OOO a year. GENERAL SIBLEY, whose income from the government before the war was about si-.UGO, resigned lils position the breaking out of hostilities and linked hts for? tunes with tho?ecf the Southern Confederacy. In 15CG he came to New York and settled in Hobo? ken with his family, remaining there until Invit? ed to accept a command in the array of Egypt. Among the other American officers now In the Egyptian service are General Stone, lue unfortu? nate hero of Bali's Bluff; General Picket, of Vir? ginia; Colonel Tom Rhett, of South Carolina; Cap Min E. Sparrow Purdy, once of General Frank liu's stair, and lately or Newark; and Colonel Jen? ifer, of Maryland, at one time a lieutenant ' the old Seront*. Cavalry, the regiment lu which Jeb Stuart got his training as a raider. Et'.VE MEN IN CLOVER. Last night colonel Jenifer, General Pickett. Col? onel Rhett and General Stone, were entertained at the residence of James Motte, the Baltimore, banker. No. 20 East Thirty-second street, In tnt city. Several prominent members of the Manhat? tan Club were present, and the occasion was 1 most enjoyable one. To-day, at 12 o'clock, the above named Egyptian officers start for Liver? pool on the steamer City of Washington, and will there take passage for Egypt. Within the past few weeks large quantities of j arms have been purchased here for the Viceroy, Colonel Minnie, inventor of thc Minnie rifle, hav? ing transacted the business In person. The arms selected were the Remington breech-loading rifles, of which 100,000 were Elnpped. " GENERAL PICKETT INTERVIEWED. A Sun reporter called upon General George E. Pickett last evening, and found the gallant soldier quite elated at the early prospect of a brilliant neill for military reno wn. General Pickett, though never much of a strategist, has been always re? garded as a One officer, having been particularly noted for dash and the elan with which he Inva? riably inspired his: troops, OS evinced lu the fear? ful charges made a: Gettysburg, where his divi? sion lost every general officer, must of its Held of t'cers. and was literally torn to pieces by the gal? ling tire of rauskety and schrnpnel hurled at them by the Union forces. General Picken served with General Leo in every engagement fought bi? llie army of Virginia, except two. After a few casual remarks entirely irrelevant to the subject, the following interesting conversation took place: SHU Reporter. General, 1 have been told that rou leave the country to-morrow In thc City of Washington for Liverpool, en route for Egypt, where, lt ls said, you propose entering the mili? tary service of the Khedive. General Pickett. General Stone, of the Federal irmy during the civil war, Colonel Rhett, Colonel leulfer aud myself of the late OuufMerata army, nive all determined to seek active service under he Viceroy or Egypt. We have been promised ill that we could desire, and I am convinced that mr most brilliant anticipai lons are more tnuu ikely to be realized. GENERAL PICKETT'S PROFESSION. Reporter. Do you think. General, that In Egypt here will not be many difficulties, such ns lan tuage, customs of the country, climate, Ac, vhich will be hard to surmount ? General Pickett. lam well aware of that; but ,ou know I have but one profession -one to vhich I have been educated In the best military chool in the world, and that education has been ripened hy an experience of nearly Ave years In me of me severest wars that has ever deluged he world with blood. Difficulties arising within he line of my profession I trust I may be able to ivcrcome. We don't propose, slr, togo to Egvpt o be band-box soldiers and parade en grandi enuc the boulevardes of Alexandria as generals >r division. Reporter. Are there not, General, many pcace ul and profitable pursuits to which a man of our administrative ability and genius could eadily adapt himself? General Pickett. At my age, and with my dis? tortion. 1 am afraid not. Be-i-iei, my former omrades In arms have already un the presiden? cies, secretaryships, Ac, of railroads, express ompanles, uilnlng compnnlo?, and other cor ?orate bodies, which the Southern directors have leen so generous in bestowing upon them. I go 0 Egypt to morrow merely from pure love of my irofesslon. Of course the pecuniary part of the natter ls an object to an impecunious soldier, but can assure you it is entirely a secondary con Ideratioc. THE MEMORABLE CHARfiE AT GETTYSBURG. Reporter. I believe you led the forlorn hope, or nore properly speaking, the left wing of Loug trcet's corps, comprising the Virginia division, n he famous charges upon the Cemetery HUI at iettysburg ? General Pickett. I had that honor, slr, and yon nay be assured that I will rest content if I dud he troops of his Vice-Regal Highness half as stubborn, half as brave as those I led, and those vho gallantly repulsed me ou that memorable Inly day. Reporter. I trust, General, that yonrseir and >arty may meet with that success which yourtal :nts certainly deserve. I am informed that Gen? ial Stone, who accompanies yon, ls the hero of nany a hard-fought battle on the Federal side. Do you not think lt strange that yon should now ;e broihers-iu-arms after having been so long op josed to each other In a cruel, heartless, unnatu? ral strife!' THE BLUE AND TnE GRAY. General rickett, lt does seem somewhat remnrk ible. but you know all asperities have long since i>een smothered, and the good feeling, friendship, jr, as the French better express lt, the entente .ordtaIe among those who fought against each cher in the late war. is perfect, lt is only those In Loth the North Rmi South who were not In the field who still enter:,iln those ungenerous feel? ings of bitterness and animosity, lu General Stoae I have the greatest confidence. He is a gentleman, a scholar and a thorough soldier. I wish to serve with none better. I say this not only as a svklier myseir, but as a Southerner. Reporter. What are the antecedents of Colo? nels Jenifer and Rhett and General Stone ? General Pickett. Colone! Jenifer, of Mary laud, was formerly of the famous old second cavalry. United States army, but latterly Inspec? tor of cavalry of the Confederate service. Col? onel Rhett, or South Carolina, was a graduate of West Point, and au otttccr of distinction In the ar? tillery corps of the Confederate army. General .Stone, of Massachusetts, was also a graduate of the Point, and who served with great distinction in the Inte war. I believe he was directly lu front of Jenifer, who commanded a brigade at Lees burg, or. as they call lt here, Rail's Bluff. Thc Sun reporter here bude thc Egyptian recruits un affectionate farewell, after wishing them a OOM foliage and that military distinction In Egypt which they had so eminently won lu America. ROUXD TO G ET MARRIED. Justice Fooled by a Shrewd anil Deter? mined Little ?Irl. The following curious story ls from thc SU Louis Democrat : Several days ago a man, giving his mime UH Johu W. Mitchell, called upon Justice Jecko und reqiWd his immediate attendance III his offichil capacity at the Olive Street Hotel. Tue good looking justice started off post haste, and, liebig introduced to the bride, found that she wai a mere child, not more than thirteen or fourteen vearsofage. Her name she sahl ?ran Marla K. Caser, her residence Clinton County, Illinois. She had eloped with Mitchell with Hie deliberate lutcntlon of marriage, which she desired per? formed as speedily as possible. Tne usually urbane Justice refused to act the parson in such an evidently immature case, and retired. Mitchell, however, was not to bc thwarted in his plans, and called upon Justice Lawrence to do up the little job. Meanwhile, the girl very shrewdly came to her lover's relief by darkening the room, and upon the arrival of the squire pl aced herseir upon a siool, so that she looked fully as talland a great deal prettier than the nervous bridegroom. The unsophisticated justice was fairly caught iu love's trap, and speedily launched the pair iuio the turbid and squally hca of matri? mony. TUE EX EE- Z O VE MURDER. THE PROCEEDINGS OF TUESDAY, WEDNES? DAY AND THURSDAY. Ki t-h a rd son's and Mrs. McFarland's In? timacy-Interesting Arguments [by Mr. Graham-The Sensational Fea? tures of the Case Excluded-Rev. Mcssr*. Beecher and Frothlngham Not to be Examined. Notwithstanding the fact that the McFarland trial was suspended for a few days, lt was still one of the topics uppermost in the public mind of New York. Neither the Fenian movements, the stock exchange incorporation "job," nor tho opening or the sporting season, so deeply en? grossed thought as this great trial of the period. Of course the people are divided on the subject, but the fact must be admitted that McFarland seems to have ten confessed sympathizers where the opposition has not one-quarter that number. There has been no trial in New York since the cel? ebrated Durden murder case, that has taken so strong a hold on the minds of the people. Thc Colt trial, the Webster trial, the Sickles trial, and the Cole trial, all occupied public attention throughout thc country, but ft ls questionable whether either of them made such a universal "stir" as the McFarland case has caused. In many respects lt differs from any murder trial on record, and no matter wita'. Its result may bc, will rank, In the world's criminal history, among thc most remarkable trials that ever took place, TUE ELEVENTH DAY. This was a lively day. Mrs. Mason concluded ?ter testimony, and besides 1er. ten witnesses were examined. They were Mr... Maria Benedict, Ann McCormick, Miss Eliza Wilson. Wm. D. Norris, a colored youth. Miss Mary D. Hague, Mrs. Charity Auderman, Mrs. Ann Callahan, Mi-s Anna Bur dock, Lewis P. Engel, and Charles A. Hopkins Thc defence offered in evidence a policy of life in surance for ?3000, taken out by Richardson, and assigned to Mrs. McFarland. The paper was rand ont. The principal points of evidence testi? fied to by the witnesses were as follows : That Richardson was once seen to kiss Mrs. McFarland in the street, In Newark, N. J.; that they were seen to embrace and kiss each other at thc resl pence of Samuel Sinclair; that Mrs. McFarland had repeatedly said she knew her husband loved her, and that Richardson and Mrs. McFarland had had their clothes washed together aud sent home In'one bundle, and with one hill of charges TUE TWELFTH DAY. On this day-Wednesday last-further testimo? ny In relation to the prisoner's insanity was pro? duced. Depositions from a number of professors at Dartmouth College (where McFarland gradua? ted) were read, all of them speaking In the high? est terms of the prisoner as a student and peat le? m?n of refinement. A deposition made by ex Governor Farwell, of Wisconsin, was also read, speaking very flatteringly of McFarland. Six wit? nesses were examined, namely, Frank B. Carpen? ter, the artist, A. W. Oliver, J. C. Chadsey. Robert Daggett, Albert B. Mathers, and Dr. Austin Flint, 3f Bellevue Hospital. Owing to the sudden Illness af Recorder Hackett, the court, at l o'clock, ad? journed over fer thc day. THE THIRTEENTH DAY. On tills day the court room was early Ulled with spectators, many persons having been drawn to | ' ne place by the expectation that the defence ivouid exhaust Its testimony on that day. Re- I 1 forder Hackett, however, did not appear, and his " ;olleaguo, Judge Bedford, adjourned the case un il Monday Lext. WnAT HAS BEEN DONE. During the eight days devoted to taking tcstl nony, seventy-roar witnesses were examined lix for the prosecution and sixty-eight for the dc- I j euee. As already known, the prosecution rested if'.er simply proving tba', Richardson was killed >y McFarland. The facts which the witnesses or the defence have mainly sworn to are as fol ows: l. That McFarland was Insane at the time of he commission of the homicide, aud for a long .linc beiorc that. g. TIMS no was RIWBJTH a kind, affectionate and udulgent husband. I a. That the discovery of the intercepted letter c iud a disastrous circe:, upon bis mind. t 4. That he bas never been un Intemperate man, )ut. on ike contrary, has always had au aversion u spirituous liquors. l>. That he occupied various positions of trust r inder the government. r 6. That he considered Richardson the destroyer j, >f his domestic happiness and the robber who c lought to take his children from him. r 7. That Mrs. McFarland repeatedly said she r mew her husband loved her devotedly. 8. That Richardson and she were round aeting r -erv indiscreetly on a number of occasions. t 9. That Mrs. McFarland left her husband, and ( hat after the separation she and Richardson e vere often seen In each other's company. ti No testimony has been Introduced In regard to i he Astor House death-bed wedding-Recorder lackert refusing to allow any sach evidence to t ie produced. If the Recorder be suftlcently re- r lovcred from his Illness to continue thc trial en c Jonday next, the defence will proceed with fla slung their case. A number of Important wit lesses, among them ex-Surgeou-General William I I L Hammond, will then be examined as experts | I m tue question of thc prisoner's insanity. It nay be tnat the defence will get through ou Mon lay, but it ls quite likely that they will not reach | 1 he end until the day following. KEBl'TTING TESTIMONY. As soon as thc defence close their case the pros cutlon will put In the rebutting testimony. Who rill furnish HtlB ls sot definitely known, but lt ls eported that among the witnesses will be Mrs. ?alhoun. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Sinclair, Samuel towles, of the Springfield Republican, Julius lenrl Browne, Horuce Greeley, Offlcer McWaters, if the Losi Children's Department at Police Head luartcrs, Mr. and Mrs. Sage, (Mrs. McFarland's larents,) John Russell Young, the Misses Mollie md Lillie Gilbert, Henry Ward Beecher, and Jharlcs A. Richardson, brother of Albert D. It is Uso given out by persons intimately connected vlth the anti-McFarlaud side of the case, that the ebuttlng testimony will show That Richardson's letter (the intercepted one) o Mrs. McFarland was written after Mr. and ?fra. McFarland had agreed up-m a separation. Thal McFarland was at times brutal lu hts con luci towards his wife. That lt was he who suggested to her that she vould do well by going on the stage. That McFarland ls not, and never has been, In? ane. That he has Indulged freely In the usc of ardent iplrlts. That nothing or an Improper character ever ook place between Richardson and Mrs. McFur and. That the charges made against McFarland in he Iudiaua divorce suit will be clearly estab Islied. It ls also said that thc number of witnesses on -ebuttal to be produced by the prosecution will lot fall far short of forty, and that lt is quite ikely that the trial will not conclude until toward ne close of week after next. Mr. Graham's sum nlng up will, lt ts expected, occupy a whole day, md J neige Davis's closing speech will probably ;ousume thc same amount of time. ME l'LEBISCITVM. Proclamation by tile Emperor. Tlie Journal Ofllclel of Sunday publishes the following proclamation by the Emperor: Frenchmen-Tat constitution of 1852, drawn up In virtue of powers which you gave me, and rati? fied by 8.000,000 of vote?, which re-established the empire, has procured for France eighteen years of calm und prosperity, which have not been without glory, lt has Insured order, and left the wuy open to all Improvements. Thus the more security has been confirmed, the larger ls thu part lt p.as taken In . .3 progress or liberty.

THE EAST OE EOEEZ. FULL PARTICULARS OF THE FINAL BATTLE. The Dictator Dies Sword In Hand-Hts Followers Killed or Captured-E n - th usiasttc Rejoicing In Rio Janeiro The Emperor Declares the War at an 'End. The New York Tribune lias special corres? pondence from Rio Janeiro, March 25, giving full details of the death of Lopez and the end of the Paraguayan war. Thc son of Lopez would not behove the news until reading the particulars in the Tribune oillce, where he remained several hours. Ile was considerably affected at learning the news. The Tribune's letter says that early on the mornlug of the 1st of March, Lopez, with 1000 men, was surprised by a Brazilian force of the same size while encamped on the left bank of the Aquldaran stream, twenty miles to the south, of Apa, aud like the latter a tributary of the Para? guay. The Anublaran River Is the same as the Alquldavanigee traced on the map or the north part of Paraguay. North of the position where Lopez fought his last battle Is the town of San Salvador, and south that of Concepci?n. The at? tacking force, commanded by General Camara, was the same which set out from Concepci?n on or about February loth to overtake Lopez upon the receipt of the news that the dictator had al? ready crossed the Apa and was hurrying his flight to Bolivia. So sudden and Impetuous was the attack of the , Brazilians that the Paraguayans who guarded i thc artillery had no time to give the least warn- < lng. Lopez, with those officers who happened to , be about him. tried frantically to form his troops } into line to repel the assault, but before- this could t be done to any extent thc Rio Gi?ude horse were upon ulm, and his little party routed and driven to the nearest woods, where but few escaped. Lopez himself was killed In sight of General Camara, who lu vain called upon him to surren? der. The ex-dictator, already severely wounded, abstinately refused to yield, and meanwhile tried to escape, Thc thrust of a lance brought him to the ground. Caminos, minister of Lopez, met a similar fate. Vice-president Sanchez was killed icfore being recognized. Colonel Aqular, Majors Cargas, Ascurra, Estlgarrlbia, Cardoso, Insfante, Jolis and several others also perished lu the con? nel. Colonel Lopez, son of the dictator, was ?tided as he was trying to escape with Mrs. Lynch'B party. Many chiefs were taken prison ira, including Generals Resquln and Delgrado, md various other superior officers. Four priests vere also taken, one of whom was the celebrated Kate. General Caballero, with some forty men and al nosr.all thc officers, had the day before gone out I ? rom Cerro Cora to gather up cattle. They were ittackcd and beaten by Colonel Benito Martins, The general, however, succeeded in escaping, af er abandonlug everything he had, even to his iword. Valla and Souzo who were in charge of a luggage train at Chiraquel, managed to escape, ii though their force was routed. Rocha, who was n the advance with eight pieces of artillery, was ilso promptly beaten. Averts took advantage of he general confusion and made good his escape. A few hours after the light Mrs. Lynch, who ould not at ilrst bc found, was overtaken on the oad as she was endeavoring to escape with a mall party, and was made a prisoner with her our sous and thc mother and two sisters of Lo icz. The three last, Minister P?ranos says In his llspatch, had been condemned to death by thc lictator, and the mother of Lopez was to be exe? rted on the very day on which thc Brazilians nade their attack. The families of Caballero Car ilnboz and GU were also taken prisoners, and all yere to return with the Brazilian Torces to Con ?epclon. Seventeen pieces of artillery, it is re lotted, have also been captured. Op to a very short time ago lt was believed that .opez would escape to Bolivia, and this was wit n mtdoubt his Intention when he was overtaken by he llrazlllan forces. He saved the allies from a travo responsibility by noe surrendering himself md preferring to die sword lu hand. The letter says: At Rio Jauelro the news was cceivcd with the greatest enthusiasm. Some a lersons read aloud extracts from the River Platte g Dumals to constant interruptions by the cheers f those around. As the Emperor was returning ' rom the city palace to San Chrtstovas, and was , Hissing through Itua Dy Selta, the people who ? died the space in front of the exchange sur- * minded the Imperial coach and shouted en- ' huslastlc "vivas" to his majesty, the Emperor, to ! :ount He Eu and General Camara. His majesty 1 xpressed his gratitude for these demonstrations, md added, "You may be certain that the war ls mw ended." Crowds of people, headed by musical bands and learing the colors of the three allied nations, pa ailed through the streets, shouting vivas and v llscbarging roekets. All the public buildings were | L it once decorated with flags, and joy iras upon ?very face. At night the city was splendidly il umlnated. The Emperor giving his arm to the empress, and with the Imperial princes at his I _ ldc. went on foot through some of thc principal 1 .teects, mlagling freely with tho paople. Doa | S .edro was everywhere received with the highest nanirestatlons of esteem aud respect. All the newspapers of Rio exult over the event. )ne says: "The Paraguayan people are rednccd o an eighth part of their original nnmber. The vcalth of the country has been dissipated, and herc are not means sufficient to sustain the few hat survive. The prediction of Lopez bas been erified, which he made ts General Mitre during heir Interview at Jatay Cora, that Paraguay vouid bo 'a mountain of ruins' before lt should hil Into the hands of the allies. The Paraguayans rho died lu combat, gave up their lives with a alor and abnegation seldom rivalled. Others tied from sickness and want; others wasted away n prison; and Dually others perished on thc gal ows, sacrlllced without pity by thc order of Lo >ez hlmseir. The history of the sufferings of this leople ls the history of a martyrdom without ex imple." _ _ MATTERS IX GEORGIA. A negro woman living near Atlanta, the Con itltutlon saye. gave birth to three little Fifteenth imetidments on Wednesday. Mr. Jim Luttrell, of Columbus, sold a three year lld trotter that made lils mlle In 2.25, In Savan ?ah, a few days since, for $1600. The Dalton Citizen says it snowed several lours, Sunday, at Rlnggold, and covered the rround to the depth of three Inches. The ther iiometerfell to 25 degiees, but vegetation and mit were little ornot at all Injured. Nick llacon, a noted horse thief, who lately es taped from custody, while being carried to New on County for trial, stole a horse near Rutledge ast week, and was hunted with dogs, barely es taplng capture. The negro church at Oxford was burned Tues lav morning, lt is supposed to have been the vo'rk of a negro incendiary-a similar case to the diurch burning here last year. Northern Metho llst emissaries have been making tracks about here lately. The Covington Enterprise says that such a day is Sunday last has not been known in that sec ion at this season since the 15th or April, 1849. Joh!, wind and snow was the order of the day rom morning till night. Vegetation was not se iouslv hurt, however. The HawklnsvlUe Dispatch says a bloody trage ly occurred at Thomasville on Monday. A white lend by the name of Jack Harvard, coming home :o dinner and not Unding lt ready, requested lils ivlfc to set the table. She being busy washing, iold him there were plenty victuals in the safe, iud to set it himself. After eating his dinner lie told lils wife that she would have set thc table for tnv one else, and that he had a great mind to wt?lp her. She dared him to. .lay his hands on tier. He theu drew n knife, when she ran to the lepot. he following her and cuttiug her as she ran. On reaching the depot, Anding that he could no: further harm her, he then cut his own throat. Mrs. RV, although cul seriously lu several places, will probably recover. We learn that this same Tellow cut off a former wife's nose, on a pre? vious occasion. , The Newnan Defender says: "On Saturday night last George Tucker, colored, was brutally murdered by George Favor, colored, assisted hy? the wife of the murdered man. A plot was pre? viously laid by the criminal parties and fearfully and fatally executed. Tucker was met at night and stricken down by a blow on the head with an axe In the hands of Favor, who, assisted by the Wife of the former, bound their victim, and run? ning a pole through the rope, started with his body, supposed to be lifeless, to a dry well near. During their progress he revived, and his bead was severed from his bodv with au axe and his remains placed in the well. A negro man coming up at the time of the consummation of the deed suspected them and was instrumental in the dis? covery of their guilt. They have undergone a preliminary trial before Justices Baily and Hun nicutt. by whose order they were committed to jail. Thev rere last evening taken by our sheriff, Mr. Hackney, to LaGrangejalL" -Albert S. Josslyn, an escaped convict who had been sentenced to the Massachusetts State prison fer life for an outrage on an old lady In Lexington, was sbot and killed by an officer, who was attempting to arrest him, in North Woburn, Massachusetts, Thursday. THE CODE. Important ?ewi for thc Bar. The Columbia Pheonix prints the following extracts from a letter of Colonel Rion, written during a sojourn in New Yaric, giving Information which will be of service to the bar In their career of practice : NEW YORK, April 16,1870. Hon. Samuel w. AfeZfon-DEAR JOUGE --At your request, I make a brief "report" of my tour or legal Inquiry to this place, and, upon reflection withdraw my refusal to have you "print it.? As Seneca commenced Greek for the first time at ?",f . B my "commencement of the study of law at a somewhat less age. ' nT""?*? Code to lie a reprint of the New York Code, mutatis mutandis, with extracts from he "Revised Statutes" added For "fB8tlce of the Peace," -Trial Justice? ls substituted for some reason which, If good, ought to cause "Trla? Judge 'to substitute "Circuit Judge " in whir-h case the Governor might appoint these function, aries. The greatest change ls that relating to the Hen of Judgments, which is a mystery the New York lawyers cannot solve forme. The pleadings Ac, In a case under the Code, are very simple (when you have learnt them.) I bring home with mc three complete records, judgments, Ac, inclu? sive; one on money demand on defence; the se? cond on verdict by Jury, and the third on decree by judge on issue of law. Under instruction from William H. Boughton, Esq., one of the first practitioners or this city, I have procared the following books, as necessary to operate under the Code: L Voorhles's Code, a thousand page book, con? taining the extracts from the Revised Statutes embodied In our Code, and with notes referring to decisions on the Code. Of this, a new edition trill be Issued In August. 2. Tlllinghast A Shearman's Practice, the latest ind best. 3. Abbott's Forms, the name of which explains its use. "4. Hoffman's Provis'onal Remedies, under the 3ode. This ls a very valuable and useful werk. 5. Howard's Practice Reports, the first twelve volumes only, which come up to 1855. 6. Abbott's Practice Reports, (twenty-live Vol? lmes,) which commence at 1855. The preface to rol?me 1 has mnch valuable Information for ns. 7. Abbott's ?igest, (eight volnmes.) The pref tce and Introductory matter In volume 1 ls of treat value. This digest contains decisions on ill matters of New York law from 1784, as well as he Code, and ls valuable to any lawyer, without egard to the Code. Volume 8 comes down to 870, and has an Index at foot of pages referring 0 preceding volumes. All these books cost $245, If bought at one time, io as to have a discount allowed. I will now give you a few conclusions I have ar 1 ved at. The commissioners have done the best bey could in adopting the New York Code. It vould have required South Carolina lawyers to :arrr out the provision or the constitution "to re dse, simplify and abridge the rules, practice, Heading and forms of the courts now in use in his State." The pleadings and practice under he Code are very complex, as evidenced by the nnumerable decisions in the foregoing reports ipon the Code. Before any such a system as the , ;ode can simplify what, in Its very nature, is 1 omplex, some power must be Invoked that will 1 e. vise and simplify the human mind. The new or 1 '? evlsed system adopted In England would have teen the best one for us, and been in accordance vii li the requirement of the constitution. New York City ls a bad place for any "forelgn r," who has eyes to see and cars to hear with, to iring down his attention to the study of the law. Very respectfully, yours, JAMBS H. RION.
