The Widow tn Jail-Her He ai tn and De m e an o -n- O e v? 11 on ot nar Danelltei -Doubts of tn? .Guilt of the Actuitrt. [From the Baltimore Son.] The recent developments. In the poisoning case, in which Mrs. Elizabeth G. Wharton ap? pears as the principal actor, continues to engross public attention, and yesterday there were rumors afloat concerning the accused, of j her death, suicide, &c, al! of which proved to be without the least foundation in fact. With a desire to pander to the morbid appetite of I the curious in such matters, a reporter sent on expressly by a-New York Journal yesterday morning waited on "Warden Irvin,. and teemed to be perfect Ly astonished when told lt would be impossible to see the pris? oner. He, however, contented himself wlth-j viewing the prison, interviewing ail who came in his way, (among others Dr. McSher-l ry,) in reference to the physical condition of j Mrs. Wharton, ?cc. On being introduced to Fred. Fine-ney, Esq.< assistant State attorney, who called at the prison on business,-the New Yorker Innocently attempted to "interview" < that distinguished and venerable officer, but he soon ascertained that the "interview busi-1 siness" would not go as well' here as in New. York, where newspapers seem [ to rely so : much upon fresh sensation every day. After dining with the warden, the New York re? porter left apparently pleased with his visit and the courtesy of the officers of the law. . In regard to Mrs. Wharton, lt is understood that, although she appeared well ar d cheerful on Saturday, she had'been very ill the Friday flight preceding at her residence, having been .Attacked with an epileptic fit, to which sbe is Bald?o be subject. On reaching the jail'abe wa sallowed to remain in one ol the an t e-r 5 0 m s with ber friends until the cell selected fo : her was made ready. This cell is on the first tier facing west, No. 167, Immediately adjoining, that of the matron, and next to the one occu? pied by Mrs. Marsh, who, it will be recollected, slaughtered ber three children on Central avenue whilst insane, and who is now, by or? der of the'Criminal Court, confined'in the Maryland Hospital. She hasjaeyer recovered her reason since that fatal calamity. -The cell . of Mrs. Wharton.is.lurnished as plainly as possible,, she having teen allowed to have sent, from her dwelling one bedstead, bed, washstand, chairs, ic. Over the grating ot the door of her celT Jiangs a lace curtain, Which - excludes the ' occupants from the. idle gaze of passers along the corr 1 or. Miss Wharton, the daughter, has been allowed to remain with her mpther. On Saturday night Mrs. .Wharton was rest? less, but on Sunday remarked to the warden | that Ehe felt quite ? weil. - She slept through Sunday night, and both on that day and yes? terday had a good-appetite, the meals for her? self and daughter belng'sent from the restau? rant of Mrs. Bussell, on Madison street, near ? Bylaw. It may be proper to state.that all un-. convicted prisoners in the Jail ' enjoy*this priv? ilege ot procuring their meals- from the .but side, and Mrs. Wharton has availed herself of it. .' * . Miss Neille Wharton appears to be devoted fy attached to her mother, and does not leave uer except 'occasionally to get the air in the corridor. The officers state - that although Cheerful and lively'in the cell with her parent, she is invariably seen in tears when ont of her mother's presence. Warden;, Irvin, knowing that cl03e confinement in the rall would be anything but conducive to health, particularly to a young person, last evening suggested to Miss'Wharton the propriety of using the jail enclosure lor h er.wa ks, where she might in? hale the pure air o? the flowers and shrubbery. She thanked him very kindly, but remarked that she knew her mother could not accom "*t pan y her, and therefore she must decline. TUe'warden allows no one to Intrude upon Mn. Wharton, and no visitors are admitted to her unless by express permission of the board flf vlsl'0CL9t V)* institution, and the curious who may visit the'jaii with the expectation of seeing her unauthorized? will be disappointed. Yesterday she had a lengthy Interview with Messrs. Steele and Thomas, her counsel,.and j afterwards the Rev. Mr. Converse, of Grace Episcopal Church, spent au hour in her cell. Several officers of the army, personal friends! of the late Major Wharton, and a member of the legal ' profession ?rum Washington, also [ called at the jail to-see her, but were duly] 'allowed to send up their cards. Dr. R. Mcsherry, - Mrs. Wharton's family physician, in company with Dr.* Jacob Houck, the physician to the jail, visited the prisoner late last evening, when she appeared to be not so well as during the pay,'and the former ex? pressed fears that she might have an epileptic attack during the night. Whatever degree ot crime may attach to the accused, it ls evident that she has many warm, sympathetic friends In Alie community, especially among tflose of I her own sex. It has been stated already that [ the voto of the sxand jury on the presentment ! in her case was not unanimous; now -ic is stated that the' vote was fifteen lu favor of: finding the presentment, and seven against lt. THE PRINCE OF WALES' ON THE BAT? TLE OF DORKING. ?. Tho Prince or Wales, supported by Prince Arthur and the Duke of Cambridge, and other distinguished persons, presided al the annual festival dinner of the Royal Caledonian- Asy? lum, which took place at the Freemasons' Taverr, London. The Prince of. Wales, .In .proposing ''The Army, Navy-and Reserve-forces," said: "I i . am sure that every Englishman and every Scotchman, being proud of our army, navy and reserve forces;, will-duly honor this toast. Much has been said lately respecting changes that are to be made la the army bf this coun> - try. Nbw, whatever the nature of tl ose changes may be let us trust that, at any rate,'! they will be conducive to the good of the army and to the safety of the country. Much'has also'been said, I dare say,' about the subject of a certain publication, which, doubt? less, everybody in this room bas -seen-: I mean 'the Battle of Dorking.' The only re Ik mark I will venture to make ls that I sincerely trust that the prophecy to which that publica-, tion gives expression will never be -realized. Still there was an object in Writing that little book, that object belns to give a broad hint to I all ot us that we must not be found napping, and I believe if we will but take that hint and sive to our defensive, forces the attention they deserve, the. prophecy will never be realized. I have great pleasure in proposing this toast, Sd in counting the first branch of it with the me of my illustrious relative, the comman? der-in-chief. I have - much pleasure in coup? ling w'th the navy the name of so gallant an office. - Admiral Slr Alexander Milne, and in I couplh?? wilh the reserve forces the.aame of Colonel Loyd-Lindsay, who has given so much attention to the volunteer movement, aud who, we must n?t foruet, took so active a part In promoting the fund for the relief ot the Bick and wounded in the late war." The Duke-ot Cambridge.in responding, re? marked that he had bad the honor tor many years of having been, under the favor of his sovereign, and he trusted with the confidence of the country, at the iiead of the noble pro? fession with which ali bis life had been so ia. timately associated. He cordially echoed the 'wish which bad been expressed "oy bis Royal Highness, the chairman, that the future of the army might be such as to do honor to the country and credit to itself. In its past histo? ry the army had always deserved the'good opinion of the country, and in spite ot the ex? perience of recent events aoroad he must ex? press h's belief tbat our army was equal to the ne ri erm unce ol' any duties it could be called upon to discharge, and that the''Bat? tle of Docking," if ever it should have to be fought- would have an issue tar di tie rent from that which its pleasant author had predicted. It would, indeed, be greatly to be deplored if ?ver the time should come when the people of England were unable to defend their hearths and their homes hom the insults of a foreign foe. . .

The Beaufort Republican says : * ''The ex [tress agent at Blackville ls among the miss-, ag.

His age was nineteen or there? abouts: name unknown tous." Beaufort. - The Beaufort Republican- reports the follow? ing lamentable occurrence: "Saturdaymorn? ing lase Mrs. Mary Wigton had the misfortune to oe bumed to such an extent that,at present .writing, it ia a matter of doubt if she survives. In attempting to kindle a fire fn the stove, and not burning as quickly as was .necessary, the kerosene can was called into requisition, and no sooner had the burning liquid reached the fire than an explosion occurred, and In an* instant she was wrapped' in flames. Some of .the family were reading on the piazza, and being attracted bv a scream, looked and saw the lady completely enveloped in fire.. A mat? tress near by was thrown noon her siter she had sank to the floor, which smothered the flames, but not until she was burned in a most'| frightful manner underneath her clothing* her hands, neck and lace scorched until the blood flowed freely. Dr. Stuart w'as Instantly called and' applied proper restoratives, but during the day she was in fearful agony." Anderson. The Anderson Intelligencer says : "We are informed that Franklin .GabrelL who claimed to be raised about ten miles from Anderson Courthouse,'was found dead In a corn-Held near the. residence. of Mr. T. E. Coleman, in Edgefleld County, on the 8th iustant." A negro man calling hims?l! James Gaillard, formerly known as William Broy'es, says the Intelligencer., was. arrested ye erday upon the charge of stealing a mule, and was lodged in jail. He sold tue mule several days ago to one of our citizens, abd some colored men sus? pecting bis movements hereabouts, had him arrested cr>on other charges at first, when bis connection with the mule was ascertained.- It was a small black mule, with one.ey e. and we are informed that tt bas since been sold to parties living in Georgia. On .Monday last,''says the Intelligencer, during the prevalence of a thunder-storm, an old colored man, named Hing, was discovered near the ' railroad, -upon the plantation oi Dr. ro.'B. Broyles, Jr., lying prostrate upon the ground. The doctor ordered.some colored, people to.ascertain what was the matter with ulm, and-although they proceeded in that di? rection, afterwards returned to the house without executing the command. Dr. Broyles then went to bis relief, and applied restora? tives which brought the old man to semi-con Bciousness. Upon being asked, King said that some one had shot at/ him, and that the pow? der burnt his face. The truth ls. he had re? ceived a severe Shock from lightning, and concluded that the Ku-Klux were after ulm ! From the - same paper we also copy tho fol? lowing account ol a.disastrous Aro: ''We re? gret to learn that our lrlend, Mr. P. L. Dean, living near Fair Play, 1n Oconee County, met with a heavy loss by Are on Monday, loth in? stant. His dwelling caught .fire about three o'clock in the afternoon of that day,' and was t?tafry consumed, besides the furniture, the clothing of the family, and several hundred dollars in greenbacks, macing a total loss of | about $2500. There was no Insurance upon the building or its contents, we believe." Abbeville. ' * The Press and Banaer has a full account of I commencement at Due West College.

The necessity ot hading some mag num. od~us-some Inspiring work-to quicken the purposes and concentrate the energies was che fruitful and'appropriate theme upon which he poured forth a wealth.of illustration, of practical suggestions and earnest appeal. The address was listened to with Interes;, and bas been the subject of general commenda? tion." . . * SOUTH CAROLINA. Thc Weather and the.Crops. DARLINGTON. . The Index says: "The weather continues hot and dry. Many ot our farmers say thu ; with all the rain that can possibly fall their crops cannot recover from the dara ag which they have sustained. Small portions of the county have had sufficient quantities of rain, but as a feneral thing the crops - have been dreadfully amaged." * - Tue Southerner says: "The hot term of the ! season seems to have ended on Tuesday eve? ning, as the atmosphere became quite cool I from the southerly winds, and heavy rain i clouds that reached half way around the h o ri- J zon on the southerly side ot town, but co rain came to the courthouse. On Wednesday a cool breeze* was leit all day from tho same- j quarter, and 'still no rain, aad up xo the hour of going to press the drought continues.

ANDERSON. A fine rain visited this section on Tuesday last, says the.Intelligencer, and-several partial rains. are reported in some localities du? ring the past week.

THE MANUFACTURE OF CREDIT. ST. Louis, July 21. The case of Muttier vs. Shepherd, manager j of Bradstreet's Commercial -Agency, was be Tore the Circuit Court yesterday, the hearing being on motion of defendant to dissolve the injunction granted^ lew dajs ago enjoining the circulation offne July number of Brad street's Commercial Reports, on the ground of j false.and Injurious rating of the plaintiff. Several witnesses- testified to the solvency ot Muttier, his Wjsrness qualifications, Integrity, Ac, also that be is doing a large and prosper? ous business. King, formerly in the agency, testified to the mode of transacting business at the agency. He said most ot the reports wer? manufactured in the office from the time Shepherd took charge. The reports were based on old reports, 'the city reports were all copied Into a letter-book and then forwarded to New York. A book called the black-book was kept In which all unfavorable reports were copied; every one in the office had access to this book. Hu testified that Bradstreet's Agency was partial to subscribers, and that a gold headed catip would often raise a mau's rating. The plaintiff had been reduced from the rating of C. CD. D., avery high rating, to D. E., which meant that he was doing business with a capital of less than $500. Subscription to the-agoncy generally meant an increase of credit. .Witness further stated that he had manufactured, hundreds of reports himself. NEW TOBEL ITEMS.

A BROADSIDE FROM HORACE THE TRIS UNE PHIL OS OP KER ON "THE THIEVING CARPET-BAGGERS*" Hr. Greeley Appeals to the Southern - Republicans to "Send these Villains to the Rear!" Ia the leading article; in the New Torie Tri? bune, of Wednesday, Horace Greeley pays his respects in his characteristic style to "the ?Thieving Carpet-baggers." Alter, explaining that als denunciation is not intended for all who might be termed "carpet-baggers," many of whom are usetul and valued citizens of the South, Mr. Gfeeley proceeds : But there are ' "carpetbaggers" who are | knaves and hypocrites-who, making loud pro? fessions of zeal for Republican ascendency and negro enfranchisement and elevation, aire* mainly intent on filling their own pockets: from tue spoil of an impoverished, unthrifty people. And this kind o? "carpet-baggjj have been prominent and powerful ih?tm?*r?. ?slat ion and administration of sereral^odmlrn States, as their bloated public expendf taxation and Indebtedness abundanMvCdeplo rably attest. Such is the naked tn' gerat ed very n at n rally,' by partisan and bitterness, but bad enough when to its real dimensions. *' * * the -simple truth that our worst impressions ot that sort of "carpet baggers" were made I by ithe statements not ot - Democrats at I all, but of zealous Republicans. . One of j them was himself a recent; 'emigrant from Illinois, who never voted say other than a Republican ticket, but who went South to plant colton, and declared himself nearly ruined by the heavy taxes imposed, on his plantation by the "carpet-baggers',^TwhQ, by managing the negroes, ruled and'robbed 'his county, continually putting up swindling jobs ot bridge-building, Ac., to fill their own pock? ets. Another was our friend of many years who last fall headed the Republican State lieu et. in. Louisiana, and was elected by ah overwhelming majority. We take the liberty ot indicating him without asking leave, be cause-the fact that he ls making a determined fight as auditor against the robbers who would gladly ruin the credit, as they have absorbed the funds, of the Slate, ls .so widely known that he cannot, if he would, conceal the truth that he Is a natural enemy of thieves. So In' Texas we heard more to the prejudice of ras- ) cally carpet-baggers -from Republicans than from Democrats. Had* we heard nothing at all, the public records and financial exhibits of'eeveral Southern States bear testimony that cannot be misunderstood nor explained away. The gross perversions and angry criticisms of certain Southern Republican Journals re minds us of au anecdote : The eccentric Lo? renzo Dow was.once approaching a. place where he had ?n appointment'to preach, when a stranger complained to him that his watch had been stolen from under his pillow the night before. Dow assured the victim that nts j watch would be . returned, and, picking up a boulder that weighed a pound or so, hld it under bis cloak and en tered the onlpit. After, preaching zealously for half an hour or so, he | suddenly stopped and.exclaimed, "A roan's watch was stolen in this neighborhood last night, and the thief ls now in this house.. I shall hit him with this stone!" He made a feint ot throwing lt, and one ot. the audience j ducked his head. He was instantly seized, searched, and the stolen walch found tn one ol hlat&ckeis. - Are there^not too many heads ducking'in deference to"our denunciation of "thieving j <?rp^t-ba?gars ?" "Bepublioahs of the"8outh ! you have a des? perate struggle just ahead, and you: cannot ? win unless you Bend these villains to the rear. You cannon tel y on their modesty or their, sense of decency; they will push themselves forward Into the most conspicuous posts, "no matter at what peril and mischief to your cause, unless you sternly say, "Go back, thieves !" . You cannot afford to be delicate \ with men who do not-know wfiat delicacy means. Unless you show by your acts that you detest peculators and scorn to be led by j them, you will be beaten, and will deserve to, be. You can put these fellows where the; belong if you try; and you must try. Their effrontery will desert them whenever they see that you not only loathe rascality, but do not hestltale to show your loathing. As you hope to be respected, confided in, triumphant, vin? dicate your own integrity by branding the thieves who would make merchandise of your party's good name. DABING HIGHWAY ROBBERIES. An Kdgefleld Gentleman Victimized? j Attempt to Rob the Mall. The Augusta Chronlcleaays:- . . On Thursday morning Mr. John Clarke, a resident ol Beach Island.. started to Augusta on horseback. While riding along a lonely by-path, a negro, ar mea with a pistol, sprang from the bushes, and, .levelling the weapon at him, demanded his money. Unable to re? sist the appeal, Mr. .Clarke surrendered the small amount of money which he had In his pocket. He waited until the highwayman had disappeared, .and then returning home, armed himself, raised a posse ot men, and started In pursuit ol the bold robber. The parly went In different directions, and one ot the number, Mr. Page, took the road to Sand Bar Ferry. Just as be came ip sight -the fugi? tive was about; to enter the ferry boat', but, catching a glimpse of the pursuer, he Qed up the river and made his escape. A negro named Lewis Cook, who ls charged with being Implicated In the affair,-was arrested and car? ried to Hamburg, where a warrant was Issued for him. . From the same paper we get the following J account of a daring attempt to murder a mall rider and rob the government mau. ? Mr. D. B. Thompson has a contract for car-1 rv lng the mail between Augusta and Cal? houn's Mills, In South Carolina, a good many miles distant. On Wednesday morning the mail-rider, a young man named Rich, left Cal? houn's Mills on one of his regular trips. About I one o'clock In*the afternoon he reached*| Rocky. Pond, twenty .miles from here. While riding up a hill th a part of the road remote from any : house, two men | sprung from the bushes and commanded him to halt, one of them at the same time firing at him with a pistol. The ball fortunately missed, its aim, and before they could shoot again Mr. Rich drew his pistol and fired at them several times. Astonished at meeting j with such.-a. warm reception where they ex? pected to find an easy conquest and a rich booty, the cowardly highwaymen betook them? selves to flight and ran into the woods. Mr; Rich then continued his Journey unmolested, and reached the' city in safety. One ot the party who attacked him was - a white man, the other was a negro. - It was evident that their intention was .to murder the mail-rider, and then carry the mail into the woods and rifle the pouches at their leisure. A SERIOUS RIOT. . NEW YORK, July 21. A riot occurred at UaTuuet, on the Erie [ Road, between the Irish aud German labor? ers. The Irish picked a. quarrel in a lager j i beer saloon, from which they drove the pro ' prie tor and family. Subsequently two Irish I laborers were terribly beaten by Germans,'one j named Ryan, possibly fatal. The Irish again attacked the lager beer galoon with clubs and stones, and were replied to by the Germans with repeated volleys from shot guns.' The Irish beat a retreat. Patrick McMahon was shot lu several places, but not necessarily fa? tal. Isaac Cullen wtte shot in twenty-six j places: his recovery is doubtful. Martin Geogehan was shot two or three times and severely clubbed. It ls not known how many others are injured. - -A Troy firm has recently received an order I from South America for sixteen slabs of bell] metal, to weigh one hundred poundB each. On one of the peaks of the Andes a house of I worship bas been erected by some monks, and it has been determined to place a bell weigh- j lng sixteen hundred pounds In the turret. To transport an article ef that weight up the.nar? ro w bridie paths that lead to the temple in the clouds would be impossible; so the monks have ordered the material In slaba, and in? tend to build a furnace on the mountain and cast the bell themselves.

These show, by the orders for lager beer stamps, that about tour times .more of | that German beverage is'being made and con? sumed than last year. A contemporary is of | opinion that this "fleet is dire to two causes the immense stimulus to the jollity ol the Ger? mans by the chronic enthusiasm into which their victories at home have thrown them, and the natural growttl of. the habit of drink? ing lager among Americans. It ls not inclined to mourn over either ol these facts, and thinks that as a people it is not to be denied that the use of light drinks leads us more away from than to the vicious stimulus of spirits. -Dr. Edward Jarvis, the statistician of the General Life Insurance Company of London, furnishes the following statement as showing the deaths of persons who are intemperate, as compared with an equal number of persons of temperate habits. He says that if 100.000 intemperate persons be taken from fifteen to seventy years ot age, and an equal number ot corresponding ages who are not intemperate, thirty-two of tbe former will die as often as ten of the latter. Ont ot 100,000 of each, 16,907 of the Intemperate will be dead before fifty yearaof age, but of -those who are not-in? temperate 4266 only will be dead. From fifty years to sixty the comparative cumbers of i deaths will be Gi 18 and 2254. and from sixty years to seventy they will be 45,174 and 33,260. Here is an argument ad rem* which should be much more ?potential than any prohibitory laws to check the suicidal growth of habits whose fatal results are thus mathematically demonstrated. D E.
