VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1671. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY" MORNING, MAY 3, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. THE D?YASM OF ENGLAND. THE LONDON TIMES SERVES CTE A BIT | OF FUTURE HISTOTtT. The Battle of Dorking Answered In Kind. Apparently to counteract the influence of "The Battle of Dorking," which was calcula? ted to excite the apprehensions of the English respecting their ability at a future day to re? sista hostile invasion, the London Times of the 22d of June publishes "The Second Ar? mada, a Chapter of Future History," of which the following are extracts: Shortly alter the close ol tba war between France and Germany In 1871, the English alarmists seemed unreasonable to an extent that'verged on foolishness. Never was there a period when, to ali outward seeming, an in? vasion of England was less probable or feasi? ble. France was stricken down and disabled. We bad amicably arranged our differences with the United States, aaa the greatest mili? tary nation of the Continent had apparently neither the disposition nor the power to be? come a formidable assailant o? our indepen? dence. If ever there was a country whose in? terests and constitution pointed to a pacific policy, lt was united Germany. She required peace to consolidate her empire, and she could not make war without calling the mer? cantile man from his desk, the professional or literary man from his study, the shopkeeper from his counter, and the agriculturist irom - the plough. Then, all-powertul on land, she was powerless on the seas.- A contest be? tween her and the maritime population of an island must resemble a contest between a dog and a fish, in which neither could quit. its pro f?er element lor aggressive purposes without m minent risk of discomfiture or destruction. Germany would no more think of sending an armament across the North Sea to Invade England than England would think of landing an army at Hamburg to advance on Berlin. Nor was the navy of the United States suffi? ciently strong in sea-going lron-clads, like the Minotaur or Monarch, to cross the Atlantic and encounter the English in their own waters. So thought and argued the wise men of England in 1871. They thought and argued well, but wise men, however well they argue, will sometimes turn out- wrong, and they turned out substantially wrong in this in? stance-as wrong as the late lamented Cob? den when he made the tour of Europe to an? nounce that, for all time to come, free trade had rendered war a moral impossibility. Un? luckily, mankind are more swayed by their passions, their prejudices, their caprices and their vanity than by their well-understood in? terests; and so it fell out that, in the year 1874, the greatest of tho continental powers, having taken umbrage at the tone and atti? tude ot EDgland, In reference to sundry fresh parcellngs out of territory, a league, including the most powerful States, was formed for the avowed purpose of reducing the British Isles to ' tho condition o? conquered provinces, to be divided among the conqueror*. The best mode of invading England had been so often the sub? ject of competitive examination at the milita? ry schools that an eager desire to test theory by practice was felt by every young officer ot Sremise; and a saying of the greatest of mod? ern strategists had got abroad to the effect that the capture of London, as compared with that of Paris, would be child's play (Kinder spiel. ) The time was opportune; for the long smoldering hostility of the United States to . Great Britain, through a series of untoward -accidents, was again Kindling into Hame. Ac? cordingly, all the shipping of the Baltic all the naval resources of the league, were put under requisition, and a sufficient number of vessels was built especially adapted lor the landing of troops, including cavalry and ar tillery. *.**?*? It need hardly be added that our diplomatic agents were on the alert, so that an enormous armament could not be got together in any ?natter of Europe without creating an alarm, h point of fact, our government were oppor? tunely ad vised.that the invasion was seriously meditated, and that they must be simultane aOusly on their guard against an American squadron which was to co-operate in a Fenian ?insurrection of Ireland. The bulk of the Eng? lish navy was. as usual, scattered abroad, but flue Channel fleet, complete in numbers and equipment, was in the Downs, and a number of gunboats and other vessels had been equipped and put to sea under orders similar to those issued by Nelson when Napoleon was meditating an invasion from Boulogne: "Do not throw away your Uve3 uselessly; retreat toward your own shores belore an overwhelm? ing force; but, if the enemy attempt ?? a land, dash among them at all hazards, and ight on until you sink them or are sunk." ,It was on the evening of the 17th o? June, IwlrHhat the Admiralty received intelligence itthat an American squadt sn had been sighted off Milford Haven du Its way to the Irish Sea, and my Lords immediately telegraphed to the commander of the channel fleet, Admiral Slr Henry Keppel, to be on the look-out. Three bouts afterward arrived the news that the ar mada hadafce?n descried, and, subsequent re ports coming in rapidly, left little doubt tha the Suffolk coast had been chosen lor the land . ing. * * * * So soon as the course of the headmost ships left no doubt of the precise destination of the expedition, the telegraphs were set to work, and all the available troops were brought down without delay. His Royal Highness the com mander-ln-chief was present in person, but the detailed arrangements were left to Lord Strath? nairn and Lord Sandhurst, assisted by General Wolseley and a well-appointed staff. A*couple ofi^ttrisufficed to dig in the sand such rifle " trenches as were still wanting; and |? manned with the Guards, the Bines, n o? marines, and the Inns o? Court era. The rocky and uneven ground behind the beach was occupied by a strong body of volunteers, under the direction of Lord Elcho. * ? * Taking advantage of every inequality of the ground, be placed his men so as to be within easy range of the boats when they should near the shore, and under shelter from the covering fire of the ships. A brigade, consisting of three regi ' meats of the Line, the Sherwood Rangers and two batteries of horse artillery, was kept in reserve under Slr Richard Airey. The rest of the artillery, with the exception of one mask? ed battery, was placed on a mound or emi? nence commanding a large portion o? the beach, and the cavalry, including the Blues and 2d Lin, "-tards, under Lieutenant-Gene? ral Slr James scarlett, were placed behtndthe heights on the extreme left, where they could easily reach the shore. In the contingency of the enemy effecting a landing in loree, the cavalry were to charge along the beach tand roll them up belore they had time to i or m. With them, at the head of his Hussar regi? ment, was the heir appafent to the throne, ir resistibly impelled by the hereditary courage ofhls race to disobey a royal order (issued from Balmoral) not to leave the capital. Tor? pedoes were laid down by a flotilla of gun? boats under Rear Admiral Sherard Osborn, which withdrew when this duty was perform? ed, prepared to operate on the flank of the armada when the landing should commence. It was a time of agitating suspense to the bravest while the ships of war were taking up their positions to cover the landing, and the transports were transferring their armed car? goes to the boats. Alter ascertaining bv care lul sounding that they could approach no nearer, they opened their Are at about the distance of a mlle. The rocks were shelled, and the strand was swept with round-6hot, causing little or no loss to the English, who never showed a finger above rlfle-plfor treuch, till the landing boats Intervened and the iron ^hail necessarily ceased. Then a signal gun was heard; the battery in the centre ot their Ksltion was unmasked. ******* Ings began to look very unlike Kinderspiel, But large sacrifices bad been counted on; it was known and felt that a first landing on the British coast must be effected in the spirit of a forlorn hope, and fresh boats were hurrying in or loading from the transports; when, bark a low. rumbling sound, like intermitting thun? der, is heard from far off, across the sea. It Is the sound of cannon on the extreme lett of the armada. It can be nothing but the Eng? lish Channel Fleet. A fast steamer had, In fact, overtaken the Admiral, and, dispatch1 n two of his ships to watch the Americans, he had come back (like Desaix at Marengo) to give a decisive turn to the wavering fortunes of the day-the day big with the fate o? ?JQ land, ol Europe, ol the-world. ?****?*? K * ?j.* The military organization of the invading army was beyond all praise; an order emana? ting from headquarters might be said to live along the line, and the skill to restore a losing battle or effect a retreat was never wafting, any more than the strategy which wins or im? proves a victory. But what did such skill avail here, on an untried element, where soldiers and generals were equally helpless, where strategy was useless, and bravery thrown away ? AU hope of carrying out any pre-organized plan was at an end. Sauve qui peut became the word among the hired or pressed masters of transports, who, such ot them as escaped being run down, made off without waiting to take In their original freights. The wind rose, and soon freshened to a gale. The gunboats which had fallen back before the advancing armament, now as? sailed it on every side. The fire of shells was continued lrom the heights. A desperate sea-fight was prolonged till dark, and partial? ly continued through the night When morn? ing broke, the catastrophe was made clear in all ita horrors. The second armada had shared the fate of the first. Host of the hostile iron-dads were missing. That which carried Caesar, and his fortunes-in other words, the Admiral-Generalissimo and his suite-had re? ceived a 600-pound steel-beaded snot between wind and water, and had no alternative bnt to strike. Princes, Archdukes and Dukes were made prisoners by the score. The renowned ? chief of a brilliant staff was picked up in an ex? hausted state while endeavoring/ to regain his ship by swlmmiug, after the boat in which he was trying to remedy the confusion had - been swamped by the.surge; and a Serene High cess, who had made his way to the shore al the head of his contingent, was with difficulty persuaded to give up his sword to Prince Ed? ward, of Saxe-Weimar, who enacted the part of Bayard to Francis I, at Pavia, But we re? serve for another chapter the various episodes of this ever-memorable triumph and its results. Respecting "The Second Armada,'' the Lon? don Times says: It is probably useless to offer these consider? ations to our alarmists. It is their nature to conjure up visions of evil, and if one fancy is dispelled, another will present itself. Up to last summer, it was France that threatened us, and not a week passed In the session with? out some reference to the French Iron-clads, their number, size, thickness, and so forth, or to French guns, and chassepots and mitrail? leurs. No sooner ls France overthrown, than Germany is at once put in Its place, and de? clared far more dangerous, though formerly the main point insisted upon was that the enemy were only separated from us by twenty miles of sea. But assuming what these gen? tlemen expect-that one or more Continental powers should ever make the attempt to land a force upon these shores-we submit that the event which the author of "The Second Armada" anticipates is far more probable than such a- landing, and such a march as others have described. We know something from former experience of thc difficulties which Impede the assembling of fleets and flotillas, the em? barkation and transport of large bodies of troops, and of the obstacles to landlnz and penetrating inland In presence of defensive forces. We also know the overwhelming power of the British Navy, and that it could dissipate in a few hours ail the maritime pre? parations by which we are said to be threat? ened. Nor ls there any reason to doubt that the land forces of which this country will now be able to dispose could be collected and con? centrated In a few days In sufficient numbers to deal with any enemy which might break through the barrier of our fleets. Indepen? dently of all political reasons, we have in the danger of the enterprise and the facility of the defence a guarantee which ought to be suffi? cient to all reasonable minds. MURDER OF "PET" HALSTEAD. Details of Che Deed. The New York papers, of Monday, are QUed with the details of the tragic end ot General. Oliver S. Halstead, Jr., a well-known poli? tician, who was shot the day before in the room of a woman of disreputable character, in Newark, N. J., by a Jealous rival. Halstead, it appears, had been visiting the woman (Mary Wilson) for some time. A former patron of this woman, \ charcoal mer? chant named Botts, maddened with drink and jealousy, broke into the bouse early Sunday morning, and, utter a slight scuffle with his victim, who had Just arisen from bcd, shot him In the heart andiungs, causing death in Alteen minutes. The murderer, after the commis? sion of the deed, walked away, but upon be? ing pursued by a polioeman, gave himself up. He lreely confessed the murder, and said that he had premeditated it, and was willing to be hanged for it. Oliver S. Halstead, the mur? dered man, belonged to a prominent family. His father, who resides near Newark, ls the venerable and well known ex Chancellor Halstead. The deceased was in the 53d year of his age, and was graduated at Princeton College in 1839. He practiced law until 1819, when he went to Calilornta and remained a year or two. Returning to Newark In 1860, Mr. Halstead was a prominent supporter of Bell and Everett* He was a warm personal friend of Mr. Lincoln all through his ad? ministration, and was frequently consult? ed by the President upon matters of state. At this time General Halstead gained the sou? briquet of "Pet" Halstead from his supposed position In Mr. Lincoln's confidence. About a year ago he was again before the public eye In connection with the "Halstead battery," a'sub marine apparatus which attracted some atten? tion. General Halstead was a man ot paris, especially endowed with those florid, If not very solid, qualities which makes men promi? nent in troubled times. He leaves a wlte and six children, among whom are two sons of twenty-five and twenty years ot aze. Mr*. Halstead, whom he married In 1810, ls the daughter of the late Stephen Meeker, one of the wealthiest and most respected citizens of Newark-who died In 186S. She possesses In her own right a considerable property, and the family of the deceased are, therefore, in good circumstances. A KEW LUCRETIA BORGIA. The Woman who Poisons Three Hus? bands and Two Stepchildren. Brief mention was made in a telegram In Saturday's NEWS of the arrest at New Bruns? wick, New Jersey, of Mrs. Lydia Sherman, by officers from Connecticut, who charge her with having poisoned at different times three husbands and two step-children, the offspring of her last husband by a -former marriage. The New York papers of Saturday state that this woman married a Jersey man nearly ten years ago, and, alter living with him three years, he died suddenly, and under circum? stances which occasioned considerable com? ment The second husband was married in Connecticut, and died under equally suspicious circumstances, but, aa nothing was there known of the former mysterious death, no action was taken. Early in 1870, at Derby, Connecticut, the woman married Nelso u H. Sherman, a widower, with two chil? dren, one six, and the other fifteen years old. Within nine months, these three died, all under the same - unaccountable circumstances. After the death of the oldest child, which occurred last, Mrs. Sherman went io New Brunswick to visit, and went also to Philadelphia. Immediately after she had left, succeeding the death of the child, the lilends of Mr. Sherman took steps to Investigate the matter, aud lo that end had the body of Mr. Sherman and those of the two children ex? humed. The officers who came on to make tiie arrest stale that undeniable evidence of poison was found upon all three o? the bodies, and that it was plainly seen in the stomach of the last buried of the three. They also state that they have been able to Ox upon the al? leged murderer the purchase of poison Blmilar to that of which traces were found. The poison was vegetable and of an unusual character, the officers being unable to give its nftme. They were armed with warrants and a requi? sition from Governor Jewell. The statements of the officers leave no doubt that the woman Is guilty of one of the most startling and sen? su ional series of crimes that has ever been committed. On being charged with the crime she gave no appearance of guilt, and beyond the simple suiprise and the assertion of her Innocence, did not seem to be at all affected. THE RACES AT LOSG BR AS CH.

BEFORE AND AFTER MARRIAGE [From the London Examiner ] In the romantic'courting days the love-mak-1 lng is fresh and sweet and all-engrossing, and the unreflecting -Innocents are deluded Into the belief that the bonds of matrimony are alone needed to secure them a life of love and Joy at the high fever heat of these wat tn youthful moments. But such an anticipation ot heaven on this earth cannot be. The heat must cool down, and the intoxication of love sober into the tranquillity of friendship. It is a great matter to get safely through this cool? ing process. The danger is that, when it be? gins", one or other, or both, ignorant that its cause lies in the nature of things, may throw the blame on an innocent partner, and In his or her secret heart sigh over the awful misfor? tune of a dreary union. This would not hap? pen so frequently as lt does lt, as is not often the case, the husband and wife were to sober down at about the same rate. As a rule, the lady will hold on to the billing and cooing and tender love-making much longer than the gentleman. It is the man that cools and the wife that is broken-hearted. This, though much to be regretted, ls easy enough to un? derstand without considering the husband a brute. Probably men hare by nature less ten? derness than women. Certainly their active business lives are averse to Its development, and any considerable display of softness, on their part, is commonly sneered down as an unman if weakness. By our social arrange? ments women, on the other hand, are devoted almost entirely to the exercise ol this emotion; to them love In some shape ls all and all; with? out lt their lives are cheerless and blank. The slow work of brtnzlng the lives hud pursuits | of the. sexes Into greater harmony, and there? by assimilating the characters ol men and wo- ' men. must be lefc to the untiring zeal of the .promoters of the "woman-movement.-' Among causes of evil lying nearer the sur? face there Ls our system of courtship, which seems as If specially designed for mischief. To be kind and attentive to the object ot one's affection is natural on the part of both man and woman. But, according to custom, the gentlemarr-fiuist do all thc woolngv the labor of love-maaioz falls to him; and, as a rule,' he does not spnrefblraself. For weeks, tor months, for years, he worships at the feet of his fair one, with compliment, flattery and endless at? tentions. He seems the slave of her smallest wish. In all this there Is much acting,' often much conscious acting. Marriage ls the drop ping of the curtain; with lt ends the merry, but, in its consequences, melancholy farce. And when he sees the effects of the play, he sincerely wishes it had never began. The at; tentions cannot continue. Nor is lt desirable that they should. Yet. in getting th ?rn fora time, women are taught to expect them tor ever. The arrangement ls cruel to women. It is like the practice of first spoiling children, and then punishing th err for being spoiled. Of course we can undersmud the extrava? gant pre-nuptlal speeches of the bearded lover without charging him with the least insinceri? ty. Wbiie the lady is yet to be won, and he is under the Influence of a pent-up passion and a healed imagination, he talks sentiment and swears a thousand fond, foolish, impossible things-that their moons will be all equally honeyed, and the like. No doubt he sometimes prattles In this pretty, way more because it ls the fashion than for a better reason. Often, however, he is so Ignorant of human nature that he believes all this himself. .But lt ls the misfortune of the poor girl always to believe it. How could she ever doubt such charming truth ? The Incense of flattery is sweet, ana she likes to pet and be pelted. The love may be perfectly genuine on both sides, and yet with marriage there may come a great falling off from all this. When the wile dropauher handkerchief the husband does not dart across the room to save her the trouble of stooping. After marriage a man.cannot be bothered telling his wife twenty limes a day that he really loves her. He thinks she should take that for granted. And the excess of fondling and caressing In which he Indulged, and for a time enjoyed, gradually loseaJts zest, and be? comes tiresome to him, especially when he has, as most men have, business and Impor? tant out-door Interests to occupy his thoughts. But men are not all pure selfishness, and women do not know how often their loving embraces, though they Interrupt the busy thoughts, and are felt to be out ot season, are nevertheless patiently submitted to. out of a delicate regard for their feelings. Unfortu? nately love, though described as blind in the selection ot its objects, has eyes preternatural? ly sharp in detecting a coldness in Its votaries In a thousand little things the loving but un thinking wife sees and feels the growing change. Gathering over her like a black cloud darkening the sunshine of her early summer comes the dismal thought that she may oe the miserable victim of a loveless marriage. At last, perhaps, in a moment of Ies3 virtue or unusual Irritability, the jhua baud, by word or deed, slights Borne little personal attention, or neglects one of the established ceremonies of love. The poor wife leela as if she could not survive it. It is a poisoned arrow into beratender heart; a wound that may tiped long years to heal. She is disappointed; her love is not ap? preciated; and in Beeret she grieves ever a hidden sorrow. If she is foolish enough to complain, aud to' claim as a duty what to be real or desirable must be purely spontaneous and this i3 the folly of too many-she tnake3 a ruinous mistake. The good mun has not left off loving her. True, the fever ls no longer on him; but he loves her with all his heart In his own quiet way. Is she not his wife, se? cure in his affection; bis trusted, bosom friend-and what4 more would she have '! W^en she accuses him of coldness and ne? glect, he ls vexed, and does not like lt. If she continue the annoyance she will make her? self disagreeable, and may, when it is too late, discover the awful difference between the real and tue Imaginary loss of her hus band's love. But let not the persecuted husband be too hard; let him remember that he may be more or less to blame; that his importunate wife may be but demanding the love and attention he. In his folly, taught her to expect, and olten assured her she should have. A change In the fashion of love-making would be a great bles sing. Women are spoiled by the adoration they receive before marriage, and both they and their husbands have to eat the bitter after fruit. Besides, this desperate wooing is quite unnecessary. For a long time yet young la? dies will have uo choice, but marry, whether Antlered or not. And they would make much belter and more coutented wives if, instead of intoxicating them with wild, sweet ravings that are at least Insane it not insincere-men would treat them from the first wlih something approaching the quiet kindness and affection tliat their less emotional constitution will enable them to continue unto the end. ALL ABOUT TBE STATE. .Marlboro'. A goodly numlerof citizens were In attend dance at BennetBvllle transacting business on sales-day, July I, says the Marlboro Times. The com and cotton prospects were represent? ed .by farmers fiom all parts of the county as looking well. Tie season has been good, and grass has been able to make but little headway. Some ot our ferners say they bare not had as good a prospect Ur a crop in twenty years. We were show?, on Saturday last, 1st inst, says the same piper, by Mr. D. C. Odom, a cottpn boll, growi on his plantation, measur? ing three and ihree-quarter inches round. Can any body beat it ? If so, speak out. Barnwell. A corresponden, writing from Barnwell, under date June 28, says : "All kinds of crops are good at this dite, and now promise a yield per acre which the most sanguine farmers ex? pected when he planted his seed. Cotton acreage ten per cent, less than last year, and that of corn fifteen per cent more. Farmers are more attentite to grain and provision crops in their culture and manuring than formerly, which, vi th the good seasons we are having, will give our County of Barnwell a plentiful Bupply at the next harvest. I think the lands in this county are of a peculiarly well adapted quali.y for a diversity or variety of plants. They stand r, long dry spell better than the red clay of the up-country, and then take doily shower-baths with all the advantage of any locality. 1 do not allude to sandy strips along the Soith Carolina Railroad. That highway ls through the poorest part ol our county." Columbia. The Union, of ytsterday, elves the follow? ing account of the Fourth at the capital: "The Fourth yesterday was duly observed by the colored and a part of the white population of the city. Early in the morning, the several militia companies were brought into line, and, with music, paraded the several streets. They presented a very commendable appearance", and were followed in the line of march by the crowd that usually congregates on such occa? sions. The 'youthluls' were also out with their wooden guns, and bid fair before long to rival their seniors in the manual of arms and intricate evolutions. After the marching hid been concluded, a large assemblage congregated in the park, where an oration was delivered by Attorney General Chamberlain befitting the occasion. Mr. Chamberlain vas followed by Senator Scott, of Pennsylvania, Mr. Stevenson. M. C., from Ohio, Senator Sawyer and Hon. R. B. El? liott, M. C., Irom this district. Senator Scott spoke earnestly, and gave some sound advice to the audience, representative Stevenson spoke eloquently and fervidly, and dwelt with much loree upon the occasion of the assem? bling of the audience, their duties, rights and prospects. We noticed upon the stand besides those named, Hon. S.L. H?ge, Gen. W. Gurney, Collector Wallace and others. There were but very few white persons present, but the cere? monies were interesting and Instructive; calcu? lated to do good. Tha same paper also brings Ute report ol an accident, as follows: " A colored man was lound on the road to Frost's Mills yesterday morning, with a shot through the bead, and also with the skull beat in. The man was in-. sensible when found. It ls reported that he was In the city Monday, and was one of the Greenville Railroad hands. The coroner will go up the road this morning to hold an inquest over tiie body." , marlon. The Marion Crescent chronicles the follow? ing accident: "We 'earn that Sam Howard, nn old colored man, who resided on Mr. John Collins's plantation, some nine miles from town, accidentally shot himself on last Friday afternoon. It appears that the unfortunate man was sitting on a fence, haviug in his hand a gun, well loaded with duck shot, and on at? tempting to step down irom the fence, the hammer of the gun struck a rall, andthe gun went off, the shot entering Sam's lower law. The bones were terribly fractured, making the wound a very dangerous one. He has the care of Dr. E. B. .Smith, and we trust he may recover. Sam was a Juror at the late term of the court, and appeared to be a quiet, peaceable man." ? The same paper brings the news of a fiend? ish outrage: "We learn from a reliable source that a most horrible outrage was on Monday perpetrated on a poor but respectable white woman living a lew miles from this town. The woman, whose name irom motives of sym? pathy and delicacy we suppress, was living with a married sister, and on last Monday this sister went off for the day, leaving the house and her children in the care of the poor girl. During this absence a negro scoundrel went to the place and after a desperate but ineffec? tual resistance foully outraged the weak and unprotected giri. She was - severely chok? ed and her mouth and eyes filled with sand by the. monster durlnit the struggle. To-day she is suffering acutely from the personal Injury, and who can esti? mate how deep is the sorrow she must feel under the sense of that moral Injury of which 8bewasthe victim. The perpetrator ol this deed of horror was not recognized, being un? known to his victim. And yet such deeds in South Carolina are no longer punished by death ! Since receiving this Information we learn that there is every reason to suppose that one Benjamin Flnklea, a desperate villain against whom there are three warrants, including that yesterday Issued against him for this crime, was the perpetrator of the deed. Let all good men, who have homes to protect, look out for the outlaw." The Crescent also says: "A. Clarke Hayae and Wesley Greene, two of the parties con victedlot the .riot, assault and battery alluded to In our last issue, and against whom bench war? rants were Issued by order ol the court, have been arrested. Kayne was arrested In Dar? lington by the sheriff of that county and sent over under guard, arriving here on Saturday last. Greene was arrested by our prompt and efficient sheriff. The prlsoaers are now In jail, where, unless Governor Scott carries out that pardoning principle they rely on, they will re? main until the next term of the court, and then they will receive the sentence ot the court. We commend the prompt action of the officers who have made these arrests." Ben. Dormand alias Benjamin Dormand, who was convicted at the June, 1870, term of the court, ol assault and battery, and against whom sentence was sealed by Judge Rutland, was arrested last Saturday by the deputy sheriff and ls now in Jail. Our readers will remember that Ben was convicted ol' an aggravated as? sault and battery on an officer attempting to airest him. It was In proof, it we are not mistaken, thal be actually used his knife, slightly wounding the officer. Ben, at the term of the court when he was convicted, was. in jail to answer a charge of rape, as well as the case of assault and battery. He was acquitted of the charge of rape, and, on being released by virtue of the order granted on motion ot his counsel in that case, he wisely left for parts unknown. But poor Ben forgot that these Utile matters are sometimes re? membered, and, venturln? back again, has come to grief. So says the Marlon Crescent. Speaking of tue crops, the Marion Star says:' "The crops in our county are more than promising, and planters generally are -quite sanguine of retrieving in 1871 the misfortunes of 1870. Corn especially promises well, Hie number o? acres planted bel?g more than usual, and the prospective yield being far bet? ter than ordinary. Cotton, too, looks well, and, although the acreage will not equal that of last year, the amount produced will be much g'reater. The farmers are elated at the fine seasous so far. Generous rains have recently fallen, and everything wears a vigorous as-, peet." ? THE PRESENT STATE OF FRANCB.- Edouard Laboulaye, the French publicist, has written a letter to a friend In New York, which is inter? esting as showing how well awat?! the leading | men ot tho nation are of the difficulties that surround the republic of the hour. He says: "We are attempting at this moment to found a republic. I take part in .this effort without having mucli faith in its success. You will find in Hie Revue des Deux Mondes for June 1 an article of raine on the 'Question of Two Chambers,' in which I sh?w how the Ameri? cans have successfully solved the problem, and urge my countrymen to imitate your ex? cellent Federul Constitution. But there is so little Republican spirit in France-there is such love of pleasure, idleness and luxury, and so little political sense, that I greatly fear the re-establishment ol the Empire, or the res? toration of the legitimate monarchy. Besides, I understand how the country sighs for repose after so much suffering, and dreads liberty such as hos been practiced In France-that is, sterile agitation and factious turmoil." i THE BOWEN MYSTERY. PARDON, OR NO PARDON-INCOMPRE? HENSIBLE GRANT. The Great Bigamist Still in Quod-The Efforts to Get Him Pardoned-Who Signed the Petition-Doubts at Wash? ington. Again the telegraph tells us front. Washing? ton that the Hon. C. C. Bowen remains in jail, the-expected pardon not 'having been re? ceived up to lost evening. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Bun writes on Monday night: There seems to be no doubt that the Presi? dent on Thursday decided not to pardon Bow-1 en. When Mrs. Bowen called in the after? noon, Instead of seeing her, he referred her to Attorney-General Akerman for an answer. District-Attorney Fisher, who prosecuted the case before the Griminal Court, declined to ' recommend his pardon. The Attorney-Gene? ral had prepared a paper in accordance with the President's views, but it appears that Mrs. Bowen was successful at Long Branch. The pardon is expected here to-morrow morning, and Mrs. Bowen ls anxiously awaiting its ar? rival . . The signers of the petition for pardon were a number of members of the bar, and all the Jurors who tried the case, with one exception, besides mo3t of the members o? the Legislative Council and House of Delegates, and numbers of our citizens. The application was present? ed to the President several weeks ago, and by him was referred to the attorney-general; Out that officer wa. absent at the lime. In conse? quence of which there wa3 some delay. On his return he immediately asked a report Irom the district attorney, that officer recommended the pardon, and also stated-as Mayor Hall, of New York," had writ? ten a letter In opposition to a pardon unless there was an Investigation Into the manner in which the alleged fraudulent decree was ob? tained-that there was no evidence in the case connecting Bowen with the fraud. It Is un? derstood that the Attorney-General made no recommendation In the case.. Last week the papers were taken up by the President, and on Friday evening last Mrs. Bowen left here to have an Interview with the President at Long Branch, arriving there at -noon on Sat? urday, and the same afternoon the pardon was granted. The correspondent of the Boston Advertiser writes: If he is pardoned, the course Mrs. King-or Mrs. Klng-Bowen, as she claimed to be-will pursue, ls a subject of some curiosity. Bowen's conviction decided she was not his wife, and pardon, while his appeal for a new trial ls pending, will not reverse the effect of the ver? dict upon her. It 1* given out that she will still claim him as. her husband, and live with him as hlB wife. ANOTHER CANAL DISASTER. NEW YORK, July 5. The bottom of the canal near Wllkesbarre, Pa., fell put yesterday, draining the water from the entire level, and Hooding the mines over which lt is built.' Fortunately the Fourth of July holiday caused the desertion of the mines, otherwise the loss of life would have been fearful._ _ THE DISTILLATION OF FRUIT. WASHINGTON, July 5.

PS- HOW WE USED TO BE PHYSICK ED.-Who does not remember the time when spring purgation was considered indispensable to, summer health? No matter for wry faces, the. inevitable salts and senna, rhubarb, or calomel and Jalap, must be administered. These "spring medicines," the youngsters. were told, were to keep them hale and hearty during the summer. We all know no w that this was a fallacy; that new I vigor, not depletion, is what ls required at the j commencement of the summer solstice. As a preparation for the enervating effects of oppres? sive summer weather, a course of HOSTETIER'S STOMACH EUTERS ls highly expedient. This famous vegetable preparation has three promi? nent properties: It renovates, purifies and regu? lates all the functions of the body. It Is composed exclusively or pure vegetable productions, viz: the essential principle of Monongahela Bye, and the most efficacious tonic and alterative roots, barks and gums known to medical botanists. Hence, it ls an absolutely safe medicine, and no tincture of the Pharmacopoeia caa compare with lt, either in parity or m the variety of its objects, and its comprehensive results. Happily for man? kind, the theory that lt was necessary to pros? trate a patient la order to care him, ls forever ex? ploded, and the true philosophical doctrino, that vigor is the great antagonist of disease, has taken Ita place. Hostetter's Bitters ls an invlgo rant, and hence lt ls the proper medicine for the re ble at this most trying season or the year. Be sure that you obtain the genuine article, aa j there are Innumerable vile Imitations lu the mar? ket. Look to the ornamental stamp, the engraved label, and the name blown Into tho glass.
