Count Bismarck, on the 30th, told thc World cor? respondent he was certain the armistice would lead to a satisfactory peace. The correspondent asked, " WiU any peace be satisfactory without a cession of territory ?" Count Bismarck replied no. The correspondent then asked, "Will the, French people support the government which con? sents to a cession of territory ? ' ' Count Bismarck only replied hy bis peculiar smile. The Pall Mall Gazette sa} s that all information received* confirms the conclusion of an armistice and the acceptance of Its terms, incl cd leg per? mission that supplies of food shall enter Paris on - certain conditions.

The following official report of the recent riots at Paris ls given to the public here to-day: About noon on Monday, the 31st ultimo, groups of people assembled lu Place de la Hotel de Ville. They were much agitated by a rumor that toe government had agreed to an armistice. The crowd so pressed against the doors of the Hotel de Ville that they were forced open, and atout two hundred persons endeavored to enter the hall where the members of the government hold their sessions. This they were prevented from doing by the Gardes Mobile, who were on guard m the vicinity. A"out 1 o'clock large numbers or HM National Guard, who were unarmed, crowded into the Place der la Hotel de Ville, which was already filled to excess with a surging mass or ] people. At this time Henry Rochefort arrived in an open earriage and vainly endeavored to address the people. Tho latter, however, refused to listen to him, shouting constantly, "Vive commane'' and "No armistice." General Trochu then (?me for? ward and addressed the crowd. He reviewed what was being done to render Paris impregna? ble, and expressed his utmost devotion to the re Bbllc and to the people. He was not listened to. e people shorued continually, and demanded tte dismissal or '.he preneot government. A great tumut : then euBned. M. Auvergne, one M the aids or General Troctii, was thrown down, and his soldiers, with great difficulty, withdrew bim from the ha.nis or the mob. The crowd kept pressing Into the Hotel de vine, Favre and Roch? fort vainly trying, U the meanwhile, to be heard. Detachments of unarmed National Guards, hav? ing banners inscribed with the words "Vive Re public." "Resistance a Mort" and "No Aro tice," Kept crowding the Place de la Hotel Ville. Suddenly a pistol shot was heard, wi many of the crowd quickly dispersed, spread an alarm throngs the city that the governm had fired on the people. At last the truth began co be understood, an Tras made Known that the person who fired pistol had been arrested, aud the people w calmed. The advocates of a commune had | session of the Hotel de Vide, and they proceet at once to hold elections. They threw their bu tins from the windows tn the people below, they we-eall dlllerent, which shows that ih was no accord. Among the rioters were Vic Hugo, Felix Pyat, Lcdru Rollin and Deleschei who were named as directors. At 6 o'clocl the evening Gustave Flourens appeared on scene on horseback, heading a b wallon of Natl al Guard of Belleville. At 8 o'c-ock lt wai un<: stood that General Trocho would leave the H< de Ville. AU along the boulevards and the Pl Vendome this created the greatest enthusla.1 and there were unanimous shouts of "D:>wn it the commune." The drums began ta beat on sides, and the National Guard marched upon Hetel de Ville to establish order. They soon s rounded it, and the rioters threatened to sh Favre, Simon and Pages, whom they had in th , power. They were warned, however, not to ct mit such a crime. At thia time General Trochu appeared on hoi back, a: the head of his stafl, amidst the most thusiasric acclamations. The rioters at once g up the members of the government and recen the plaudits of the people. All disorders i hereafter be Instantly repressed. Those wh have occurred merely prove how determined Parisians are for defence. All the journals ac Tours praise the conduci Trocho, and express the conviction that he \ energetically repress future troubles in Paris, he will doubtless receive an immense vote of sa tion by the Parisians at the election which 1 been ordered.

WILLUM Napoleon's Expose of the Campaign LONDON, November 3 The Figaro this evening publishes a version the Emperor Napoleon's pamphlet on the ca palgn of 1ST0, and the causes which led to t capitulation at Sedan. The Emperor recalls to mind his manifesto sued just after the declaration of war. and t misgivings with which he listened to the cry "On to Berlin.'* He says his pi m was to ma 150,0C0 men at Metz, loo,ooo at Strasbourg, ai 50,000 at Chalons, and to cross the Rhine ne Haguenoo with a large force, in order to separa Sou h Germany irom the Northern Confederado He hoped to win the flrst great battle, and to t cure the alliance of Austria and Haly with Fran in imposing neutrality on Bavaria, Badi and Wurtemburg. Tnc defects of the Frem military Bvstem, and the delay in brin lng up men and material, defeated th plan.

A new plan w necessary, involving a retreat on Ohalons. Th the regency disapproved as discouraging to tl public, and the Emperor was urged to resume tl offensive. Yielding his conviction, McMahon advice and plan was adopted. He alludes to Ms s nation after he had given up command of the arn and when his name and authority were ignored i Paris, as exceedingly painful. He acquiesced the march for the relief of Metz, though conscioi "of the danger of that enterprise. He describes tl operations and analyses, the battles which prece ed the surrender at Sedan, and gives an account i his interviews with Bismarck and the King of Pru ala. The pamphlet closes with a declaration tbi the German successes were due to superiority < numbers, improved artillery, vigorous dlsclplln respect for authority, and the military and pi triotic spirit of the people, which absorbs a other interests and opinions It censures th loose habits introduced by the African wars 1 which the French regular troops had been ci gaged, which lt enumerates as want ordisctpllm lack of order, carelessness or bearing and ex cen of luggage carried by the in fan try. The efnclenc of the army was weakened, too. by the excesses < the opposition In the Corps L?gislatif, and of tt republican press introducing into lt the spirit < criticism and insubordination.

A Sight Worth Seeing-Awarding the Prizes-Gratifying Progress of the So? ciety-Well Done, Abbeville. [PROM AN* OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.] ABBEVILLE COURTHOUSE, November 6. Had you been In this village during the past week, I am sure you would join me In saying this ls the banner county of the State. The fair has just closed, and has been a complete success. The executive committee, or these people generally, or somebody else, deserve gtea; cret'-lt for what they have done. Six acres of land have been Inclosed, and the lnclosure is as romantic a looking spot as can be found In the back country. A large two story building, 30 by 60 feet, has been erecte l, over one hundred stalls bull', and preparations made everywhere on a scale large enough for an ordi? nary State fair. And yet the contributions from every section or the county filled to the brim every possible space allotted lor any article. The exhibition of horses was magnificent. A thousand dollar span, the single-footed saddle horse, the beautiful buggy animal, the valuable blood mare and most superior colts, the fillies, the geldings, and the miniature pony, were all there, vlelog with each other for the beautiful premiums of solid silver furnished by your towns? men, Messrs. W. G. Whllden A Co. In many cases the decision was most difficult. The blue ribbon could be given to bnt one or ? class, and several times the red ribbon was awarded to two or three, as the committees were unable to select a single second choice. The trottlog track Inclosing a cluster or forest trees, interspersed with granite boulders crop? ping ont ot the earth, upon which Bat hundreds or our lovely women, handsomely dressed, and en? joying the wooing and persuasive appeals or their friends and suitors, made a tout ensemble that would have adorned any photographic col? lection. The cattle display was by no means Inferior to the horse exhibition. The uncouth Brahmin, the huge Durham, the compact Ayershlre, the ugly Alderney, the hairy scrub, and grades of every name and variety, were on exhibition, and gene .rally did credit to their owner. Not the least no? ticeable entry lu this class was a cow suckling two calves. The sheep on^exblbition were ali either pure blood or grade Mcrlnoes, except one broadtail buck. The Merino is rapidly growing in favor with our people, and perhaps are the hardiest and otherwise most remunerative sheep lu the county. ir thc display or hogs are a criterion or what this county Intends doing, there ls no danger or starvation In Abbeville. One pen had several in lt too rat to Uve almost, and one or them weighed over four hundred pounds. Essex and Berkshire and their crossings sc'med to be the popular va? rieties. I saw no Chesters, though I had lr ard that Abbeville was rond or this class. New varie? ties of animals or seed may be Introduced with favor into any community; but after the,, lapse of a few years the planters themselve' will show the most desirable variety, and are not dis? posed to cling to profitless stock or Inferior seed. The Chesters were at one time very popular. They, seem to have fallen Into disfavor, and will | never again lu this section compete with the Essex or Berkshire. The field crop department was most admirably filled, and can best be judged or by the entries. A member or the executive committee told me tho entries last year were 48. This year they were 140. Clover, hay, native grass and Lucerne hay ; bales or wool, wheat, beautifully red, white, and I had almost said "blue;" oats of every variety, from the chaffy Norway to the solid Scotch, an d invaluable red; rye, barley, grass seed, peas, or more than hair a dozen varieties; pumpkins, squashes, gourds, ma- moth and piganlnl turnips and ruta bagas, the finest I ever saw, were in the greatest profusion. I have heard of English farm? ers growing turnips so large that a sheep, after eating out the Inside, could lie down In the hull. None of them were quite so large, but many of them, had they bean scooped out, would have made One wash-pans. Mangels, cabbage-heads, potatoes, (sweet and Irish) an? vegetables of every variety were abundant, and some of them as fresh as If just from the garden. Cotton was still klug, at least in weight, for there were some heavy, compact, beautifully pressed bale' oa exhibition. Tue household department gave conclusive proof this ls a good country to live In. Breads of every variety, and butter, too, to spread on lr, that would make a city ru tn smack his lips, was piled up In profusion; lard and hams, jellies and jams, preserves and pickles, sorghum and candy, apples and pears, and wine that would have tickled the* palate ola connoisseur, presented a most attractive reature in the grand exhibition. The specimens of ladles' handiwork, my w.fe (r) that I hope ls to be, says would have done credit to all the professional mantuamakers, milliners, Ac. of your or any other city. Paintings, too, lu oil, and drawings in crayon, and all the other departments or that art, ornamented the walls of the buildings. The machinery department was the one alone that was at all deflicient. The display here wag good, but by no means equal to all the other de pat tments. I am tdd the society has converted itself into a joint stock company, and that already several hundred shares have been taken. This is a good step, and, unless appearances deceive one, the men who have control of lt will make the com? pany's stock valuable and desirable, and annually we may expect just such attractions In Abbeville as were seen here this week, and really this ialr was worthy a trip from your city to vlslL CP-COPNTRY. Terence Quinn has been sentenced to two years In the penitentiary, for fraudulent registration, by the United States Circuit Court in New York. THE MEMORY OF LEE. A TRIBUTE FROM aia om COMPAN? IONS IN ARMS. Remarks of Ex-Prestdent Davis. A meeting of Confederate officers and soldiers was held in Richmond on Thursday night in the First Presbyteriaa Church. The edifice was crowded to overflowing. At 7 o'clock General Bradley T. Johnson called the meeting to Order, and upon hl3 motion, General Jubal A. Ear'y was elected temporary .chairman.

Davis arose to walkTo the btan'd every person in the house rose to his feet, and there followed euch a storm of applause as seemed to shake the very foundation of the building, while cheer upon cheer was echoed from thc throats of veterans saluting one. whom they dellghted'to honor. ?> , Mr. Davis spoke at length, and with his accus? tomed thrilling, moving eloquence. We shall not attempt to give a frill report or hts address. He addressed ma hearers as "Soldiers and sailors of the Confederacy, comrades and friends." Mr. Davis said : Assembled an this Bad occasion, with hearts oppressed with thc grier that follows the lons of him who was our leader on many a bloody battle-field, a pleasing though melancholy spectacle is presented. Hitherto, and In all times, men have been honored when successful, but here ls the case of one who, amid disaster, went down to his grave, n/.d those who'were his companions In misfortune have assembled to honor his memo? ry.' It ls as much an honor to you who give as to him who receives, ror above the vulgar test or merit you show yourselves competent to discrimi? nate between bim who enjoys and he who de? serves snccess. Robert E. Lee was my associate and friend in the military academy, and we were friends until the hour of his death. We were associates and friends when he was a soldier and I a Congress? man; and associates and friends when he led the armies of the Confederacy and I presided In its Cabinet. We passed through many sad scenes together, but I cannot remember that there was ever aught but perfect harmony between us. lr ever there was difference or opinion it wasdlssi Fated by'discussion, and harmonv was the result, repeat, weneoer disagreed, and I may add that I never in my ure saw in him the slightest ten? dency to se if-seeking. It was not his to make a record, lt W&B not hts to shift blame to other shoulders; but lt was his with an eye fixed upon the welfare of his count ry, never faltering to fol? low the line of duty to the end. His was the heart that braved every drmculty; hi* was the mind that wrought victory out of defeat. He has been charged with "want of dash." I wish to say that I never knew Lee to falter to a t tempt anything tint man could dare. An attempt has also been made to ttirow a cloud npon bis character because be left the army or the United States to lom In the strngg'e for the liberty or his State, without trenching at all upon politics, I deem lt my dnty to say one word In reference to this etiarge. Virginian born, descended from a family illustrious ia Virginia's annals, given by Virginia to the service or the United States, he represented ber in the Milit?r? Academy at West Point. He was not educated by the Pederal Government, but by Virginia, for she paid her fnll share for the support of that Institution, and was entitled to demand In return the services of ] her sons. Entering the army of the United States, he represented Virginia there also, and noblv. On many a hard fought Held, Lee was conspicu? ous, battling for his native State aa much as for the Union. He came from Mexico crowned with honore, covered - by brevets, and recognized, ?oung as he was, as one of the ablest or Is country's Boldiere. And to prove that he was estimated nen as mach, let me tell y u that when Lee was a ciptaln of engineers stationed in Baltimore the Cuban Junta tn New. York selected him to be their levier ia thc strug? gle for the independence of their native country. They were anxious to secure his services, and offered bim every temptation tint ambition could desire. He thought the matter over, and. I re? member, came to Washington to consult me as to what he should do, and when I begau to dis? cuss the compile nions which might ar se from his acceptauce of the trust, he gently rebuked me saying that tnls was not the line upon which he wished my advice; the simple question was, "Whether it was right or not." He had been edu? cated by the United States, and reit lt ff rang to ac? cept place m thc army or a foreign power. Such was his extreme delicacy-such was the nice sense or honor or the gallant gentleman whose death we deplore. But when Virginia withdrew the State ro whom he owed his first and last alle? giance-the same nice sense of honor led him to draw his sword and throw lt in the scale ror ?:ood or for evil. Pardon me ror this brief de ence of my Illustrions mend. When Virginia Joined the Conrederacy, Robert Lee, the highest officer lu the little army or Vir? ginia, came to Richmond, and not pausing to in? quire what would bc his rank In the service or the Confederacy, went to Western Virginia under the belief that he was still an officer of the State. He came back, carrying the heavy weight or defeat aud unappreciated by the people whom he served, ror they could not know, as I knew, that ir his plans and orders had been carried out, the result would have been victory rather than defeat. You did not know, for"! would not have known it had he not breathed lt In my ear only at my earnest request, and begging that nothing bc said about lt. The clamor which then arose rollowed him when he weut to South Carolina, so that it became necessary on his going to South Carolina to write a letter to the Governor of that State, telling him what manner of man he was. Yet, through all thia, with a magnanimity rarely equalled, he Btood lu silence, without defending hlmseir, or al? lowing others to defend him, fur he was unwilling to offend any one who was wearing a sword and striking blows for the Conrederacy. Mr. Davis then spok.- or the straights to which the Conrederacy was reducd. and or the danger to which her capital was exposed Just arter the .battle or Seven Pines, and told how General L?e had conceived and executed the desperate plan to turu their flank and rear, which, after seven dayB of bloody battle, was crowned with tae pro? tection of Richmond, while the enemy was driven far from the city. The speakor referred alBo to the circumstances attending General Lee's cross? ing the Potomac, and the march Into Pennsylva? nia. He (Mr. Davis) assumed the responsibility for that movement. The enemy had long been concentrating his force, and lt was evident that If they continued their steady progress the Con? federacy would be overwhelmed. Our only hope was to drive him to thc de.cnce of his own capi? tal, we being enabled In thc meantime to rein? force our shattered army. How well General Lee carried out that dangerous experiment need not be told. Richmond was rc leved, the Contede racv was relieved, and time was obtained, If other tilings had favored, to reintore the army. But, saul Mr. Davis, I shad not attempt to re? view Hw military career of our fallen chieftain. Or the man, how shall I speak ? He was my mend, and In that word ls included all that I could pay or any man. Hi? moral qualities rose to the height or his genius. Seir-denylng-always In? tent upon the one idea of duty-self-controlled to an extent that many thought him cold. His reel? ings were really warm, anu his heart melted freely at the sight ol' a wounded soldier or the Btory of the sufferings or the widow and orphan. During the war be was ever conscious or the Inequality or the means at his control; but lt was never his to complain or to utter a d nbc-it was always his to do. When in the last campaign he was beleaguered at Petersburg, and painfully aware or the stralghs to which we were reduced, he said: "With my army In the mountains or Vir? ginia I could carry on this war for twenty years longer." His men exhausted and his supplies falling, he was unable to carry out his plans. An untoward event caused him to anticipate the movement, and the army of Northern Virginia was overwhelmed. But. ia the surrender he an? ticipated conditions that have not been fulfilled he expected hts army to be respected and hts paroled soldiers to be allowed the enjoyments of lire and property. WLether these conditions have been fniniled, let others say. Here he now sleeps in the land he loved so well, and that land ls not Virginia only, for thev do in? justice to Lee wno believe he fought only "for Vir glnla, He waa ready to go anywhere, on any ser? vice, for the good of his country, and his heart was as broad as the flrieen States straggling for tte principles thst our forefathers f^ngac for In the Revolution or 1776.

EIResolutlons were then offered by Colonel C. S. Venable providing fer the organization of an as? sociation for the purpose of erecting a monument to General Lee at Richmond. Colonel Venable spoke in support of his resolution, and was seconded by Generals Preston, Gordon and others. In the course or his speech, Colonel Venable re? lated the following Incident: At 3 o'clock on the memorable morning or the surrender, whon our last hope seemed to have ror saken us. General Lee sent me forward to the gallant Gordon to know whether he could hold put longer. I wUl give General Gordon's reply in his own words: "Tell General Lee that my old corps ls reduce! to a frazzle, and unlesB I am sup? ported by Longstreet heavily I do not think we can do anything more." I returned to General Lee and delivered the message. He then said, "There ls no: hing left but to go to General Grant, and I would rather die a thousand deaths." In the sad and tearful consultation which ensued, one or us remarked, "What will history say or our surrendering ir there is any posslbiuty or escape? Posterity will not understand it.? "Yes, yes," he rejoined, "they will not understand our situation; but that is .not the question. The question is whether lt ls right, and ir lt is right I take the responsibility." * ! The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and the Lee Monument Association was organized with the following officers: President-Lieutenant-General Jubal A. Early. Secretary-Colonel T. M. R. Talcott.

Mobile, alone, of the cities of the United States, has suffered severely this year from the lavages of the yeUow fever; Us mortsUty returns ror the last two months exhibiting an aggregate or over one thousand deaths from this cause alone. Since the appearance of the fever no less than foar prominent physicians of the city have rallen In the discharge of their professional du ; ties. Their names are T. J. Burke, Wm. Toxey, p. H. Herndon and Isaac W. Anderson. The Mo? bile Register o? the 27th or October saya : It would be criminal to advise absentees to re? turn to the city lu the present condition or the atmosphere. The epidemic-of whatever nature lt ls-ls widespread, and the risk or taking the disease ls too great to render lt at all prudent to ro'urn The prevaUIng rever has several char? acteristics. It ls, notably, no respecter ol ordi? nary yellow rever laws. It attacks persons who have lived through tho epidemics or flfty years past It attacks those who have already had yel? low fever, and are supposed to be entirely accU mated Fresh constitutions, not hitherto exposed to lt are not, as usual, particularly Uabe to at? tack'. Another remarkable feature ls the extreme? ly small proportion of deaths to the number of cases In rormer years of yellow fever epidemic, with the present number or patients, the average dally mortality would be fifty Instead of, as now, three or four. The weather has bien very favora? ble to the spread of the disease ror a month past that ls, hot sun and light northerly winds. For several days past there have been all the Indica? tions of a change. It ls sim unsettled, and we hope for an early old-fashioned norther, to be fol? lowed by a frost. CELERY.-Many persons become so much affected with nervousness, that the least annoy? ance greatly agitates them, and when they stretch out their hands they shake like aspen leaves on windy days. By a daily, moderate use of the blanched stalks of celery as a salad, they may be? come as strong and steady In limbs as other per? enna Every one engaged In labor weakening to the nerves, or afflicted with palpitation or the heart, ahould use celery dally In season, and onions in Its stead when not tn season.-Educa llonal Gazette. ?nt -The steamship Varuna, Captain Joseph Spen? cer, whleh sailed rrom New York October 15th, for Galveston.

A Brutal Marder In Orangebarg. The Orangebarg News says that a most das-1 tardly and brutal murder tras perpetrated over In the fork of the Edlstos on Wednesday, the 28th ultimo. The name of the person who committed the Inhuman deed ls Irvin J. Porter, and his vic-1 tim, Isaac Gardner. A cold-c'odded and heart? less affair it was, and committed without the j slightest provocation whatever. From the facts gathered by the coroner, Itan E?trMnh" on ^'?nesrtay last, several neighbors assist him in raising or repairing some parts of the house, amongst whom was the murderer Por? ter. In the afternoon of said day, Mr. Gardner asked Porter to one side, and commenced to ques? tion him about some abuse o? reports which Por? ter bad been circulating in connection with and reflecting upon the family of the deceased. Every one who saw the two men conversing, {estilles that the murdered man was talking tn a calm and quiet manner. But the yonng scoundrel. Porter, Btung, perhaps, by a consciousness of his das? tardly guilt in trying to Injure the good report- of an old gentleman's name, for no cause whatever, became desperate, and swore he would receive a rebuke from nobody. Giv foll vent to his hellish and fiend-lite ire, he pitched upon his feeble antagonist with a heavy and dangerous knife. Bis first stroke took effect from the back of his neck around to his throat. The next thrust was made at hts throat also, but missed its aim, and resulted In making a terrible gash across one side of Gardner's face, cutting off a portion of his left ear. The next was from his spine around to his abdomen, the other two piercing his left lung. At'this juncture in the frightful tragedy, Gardner exclaimed, "I am kill? ed." Instantly al ter this exclamation, this fiend Incarnate seemed to have realized the enormity of the crime he had committed, and hastily betook himself to the woods. The persons present were, we suppose, so thunderstruck by the suddenness of the affray, that they did not think for a mo? ment of arrestlag Porter, hence hts escape. Gardner was carried home, thence to the grave? yard. Coroner Treadwell, however, on reaching the spot next day, had the body disinterred, and examined by a jury of Inquest. A verdict , was rendered In accordance with tho facts. Mr. Gardner was a highly respected citizen and had many friends. Bis murderer la still at large wherever he ls. A warrant for his arrest, how? ever, was Issued on Monday last by Trial J oft ice J. Felder Meyers. We trust that the one in whnae hands that warrant ls en t mst ed will see to lt that Porter ls lodged In jail. Never has there been a blacker and fouler mur? der committed. To hear the coroner's relation of I all the facts connected with the awfnl tragedy, ls enough to harrow up one's soul. And we believe we utter a wish, sympathized in by all our people, when we Bay we hope that Porter will not escape unwhlpped of justice long. A Shooting Air?Ir In Chester. The Chester Reporter gives the following ac- J count or the shooting affair, already briefly noticed in our columns : On Tuesday of last week, two young men. trav? elling in a buggy, arrived at this* place, ana pro? ceeded to the depot, where one was to embark on the 4 o'clock tram, en route for Baltimore. While awaiting the train, they became engaged in con? versation with some by-standers, and let out the faot that they were from Laurens, the scene of the late disturbance. It la likely the conversation was overheard; for Just after the parting or the two brothers, one getting on the train and the other going off with the baggy, Burke, one of the S*ate constables here, actiog, as we. understand, upon the orders of Wimbusb, entered the train and attempted .to arrest the young man, who, - breaking away from, betook himself to flight. Burke was checked in the beginning by the omi? nous appearance of a Colt's repeater Tn the hands of the young man, who told him to stand. Taking advantage of the check, the young man continued his flight, and was tired at twice by Burk';, bnt without effect. We learn be made good his escape. The brother with the buggy was punrued by Os. Ross, one of the colored constables, and overtaken at Mr. Adam T. Walker's, on the road to Union. Ross charged upsn him and demanded his sur? render, drawing at the same time his pistol. The young mon very deliberately drew hlB and declin? ed tobe arrested. Ross at once fired and wound? ed the young man In the arm. The latter, not? withstanding his wound, made ready to return the Ure, but the gallant Ross hastily dismounted and took shelter behind a tree. Here, according to our information, the scene was amusing. Boss dodging from side to side of the tree, and the young man trying to draw a bead on bim. He fired a shot or two, but Ross was on the alert and kept well covered. At this Juncture several per? sons were seen approaching up the road, and the young man, lt seems, fearing Ross was being re? inforced, made o?r, leaving horse and buggy. He reached Dr. McCollum'B, we understand, and had his wound dressed. From there he proceeded to his home via Union. Rosa returned triumphantly with the buggy and horse, and the town rang with the exploit. But, alas l Mr. Waiker was an eye? witness to the whole artair, and his account or it does little credit to the bravery or ROBB. The thing was almost forgotten-the horse and buggy were being daily used by ROBS and others, when the town was thrown into the greatest ex? citement last Friday night, by the reception by Yocum of a dispatch from Hubbard, to the effect that news had been received in Columbia that three or fonr companies of armed men were com? ing over from Onion to re ap ture the horse and buggy, and also to avenge tho wrong committed by Ross. This dispatch caused great commotion. Contrary to the advice of Wlmbush. the colored militia were put under arms, and pickets thrown, out on all the roads. We learn, too, that John Lee. the captain, was also opposed to thc step, but In obedience to orders from Colonel Yocum, the de? monstration was made. As a natara! conse? quence, the white people were also ina state of readiness ror whatever might have turned np.* They were anxious to put a stop to trouble, as the men or Chester ever have been. Bnt they knew not but that lt had now become necessary to. | check, once and ror all, the lawlessness or bad men. And they would have done lt. But i he raid was not made, and the night pass? ed away quietly. Judge Thomas, at the request ol Wlrabush, gave directions to the sherill to summon the posse comitatus If necessary. On Sunday morning Dr. Richardson, the father of the two yonng men, a citizen of Laurens, came in town, and the horse and buggy were given up. We understand Ross will be prosecuted, and we sincerely trust he will be punished. A Negro Riot In Edgefleld. Thc Edgefleld Advertiser prints the following report or a negro riet : On Tuesday Mr. C. A. Cheatham had several hogs stolen from his plantation, about live miles from Edgefield Courthouse. He reported the fact to Trial Justice Ramsay, who Issued a warrant authorizing a search for the stolen hogs on the plantation or Mr. W. A Collett. The officer or the law, Mr. Cartledge, accompanied by Mr. Harrison and Mr. Cheatham, found the pork in the house of some freedmen.. He undertook to arrest the freedmen, but they refused to be arrested, saying "that the arresting of colored persons by white persons had played out; that they had everything fixed as' they desired lt," ?ec. There were several freedmen, and all were armed with guns. The officer was forced to leave wlthont making any The facts were reported to Sherill McDevitt, who dtBpatched a posse to make the arrests. Wnen the officer with his posse came up to make the arrests the freedmen again said that the sher? iff could not arrest th?m, Ac. They ired at the posse, and the fire was returned, wounding three or four freedmen, one dangerously. The posse finding that at least thirty armed freedmen were present, were again rorced to retire without mak? ing any arrest. The sheriff ls de: ermined to make the arrest, and we think that he should not only arrest those who stole the hogs, but every person who resisted hie deputy lu the discharge or his duty. The freedmen sounded a bugle several times after the first resistance, and lt ls believed that lt was the signal for the assembling of the armed baud, which was present when the second attempt to arrest the parties was made. r A Wanton Misdeed. Some ten days ago a fine and valuable young horse of M. Lebeschultz, Esq., of Edgefleld, was wantonly shot and klUed ia his owner's field. For this horse, only a short time before he was shot, Mr. L. had been offered $2i0. A Negro Shot. An unknown party shot a negro man on Satur? day last, on the plantation of Mr. T. L. Padgett, in Laurens Conuty. The shooting, the Herald says, was unprovoked, the shooting party be? having in a very strange manner. Arter the negro was shot, the party mounted thc negro on his horse, carried him home behind him, and then rode off. The uegro ls not dangerously hurt, and has had medical attention. The act is severely condemned by this community. -The holder of the winning ticket In thc Mer? cantile Library Lottery or San Francisco ls a Mr. bellman, of the New Orleans branch or the firm or J. & w.

Mr. Hellman was to have been counted in the distribu? tion, bnt was making a tour of the fashionable watering places when the distribution or tickets took place by Mr. Worsmer.
