The Chester Reporter says that on Saturday night several colored men met a soldier by the name of John Mills. In the street, all alone. The went for him in a mass, and, although ne cried loudly for the police, "murder," Ac, ihey gave him a severe drubbing. A Negro Killed. The Darlington Southerner says: "On the 15th instant, Richard Osburn Bboi Carolina Cusack through the heart, killing bim Instant ly. The shooting occurred near Ward's Mill, In this county; both parties colored. An in? quest was held on the 17th, when evidence was shown that the act was done in self-de ience." The Affray in Samter. The Watchman learns that the affray (report? ed in THE NEWS of yesterday) originated in the bealing of a soldier by a negro named John Craig, on Sunday last, while tne soldier was In -a state of intoxication, and this excited his comrades. The soldiers say the negroes swore they did not dare to come up street that night, and that the negroes commenced the firing. A Fight In Chester. The Reporter says: "On Thursday ? night of last week, a party was given at the house ot Benjamin Brown, a colored citizen, at .which a number of the soldiers of the garrison at? tended. A difficulty occurred between some of the colored young men and some of the sol? diers, which terminated in a general fight, In which one soldier received a flesh wound In the thigh from a pistol shot, and several of the ?*?f colored men had sore heads." Negro Ku-Klnx. The Aiken Journal says: "We are Informed that a few nights ago a band ol armed colored men, n; ri bering about twenty, went to the house of Mr. Isaac Shellhouse, who lives about ten miles from Aiken, stating that they . were sent to arrest a Mr. Porter, who is ac? cused ol killing a colored man some time since, and they having been informed that . Mr. Porter was on the premises. Mr. Shell house told them that Mr. Porter was not lhere, and one of the former's sons coming out of the house, the whole gang insisted that that was Mr. Porter, and levelled their mus? kets at him, but desisted from shooting at the entreaties ot Mr. and Mrs. Shell house. " Homicide In Edgefield. The Adv. ser says : "A fatal difficulty oc? curred at the residence of Mr. W. D. Allen, in the Hom's Creek section, on Tuesday of last week, between Mr. Allen and a negro man by the name of Aleck Davis, which resulted in the death of the negro. The negro had leit his work and gone on a trip to Granite ville without permission of Mr. Alien, and on Tues? day returned, when words ensued between him and his employer, and the negro, becom? ing enraged, drew an axe on Mr. Allen, and attempting to strike him, the latter, In self defence, stabbed Davis fatally in the side with a pocket-knife-bis only weapon of defence. Davis died on the day following. Mr. Allen promptly Surrendered himself, and was releas? ed on $3000 bail." A Quadrangular Row. The Chester Reporter says that, on Satur? day morning, Ben Martin and Paul Young met near the barber shop of H. Henderson. Mar? tin charged Young with striking him with a slung snot on the head at the party at Brown's. Young admitting the charge, Mar? tin pitched into him to get satisfaction, when Young drew his favorite weapon on him. Martin took lt away from him and gave ulm .several blows with his own shot. Several other fights were threatened, when Jerry Nel? son, the step-lather of Ben Martin, came to ?~the rescue of Ben. He indulged in some epithets against some who were present, when a soldier who had witnessed ali tbat had taken place knocked Jerry down several times, which brought Jerry to tears, with the excla? mation to the soldier : "Mister, you have made my nose bleed !" Jerry left the field oi hattie still crying. A Murder in Cheater. The Reporter says : "On Tuesday night, the 15th Instant, a negro man named Bird McLure, formerly the property of James S. McLure, Esq., was murdered on the plantation of Jas. G. McAlliey, on the western side of this coun? ty. He was called out of his house, ab jut midnight, by fonr persons, and shot to death immediately opon their getting him in range. The witnesses. Inclusive of the wife of the de? ceased, and of Tom McAlliey, who guided the murderers to. the house of tne deceased, were unable to tell who any of the perpetrators of the deed "were. We have heard stories on both sides-first, tbat the deceased had made violent threats about what he would do in case he had the authority to make arrests of white n)en; and again, that he had incurred the en? mity of certain young colored men by sup? planting them In the affections of a dusky belle, which story, if either, is true, we neither know nor care. The crime will be at? tributed to the Ku-K'ux, and every white man in Chester will have his due share of odium in the Northern mind attached to him. When? ever the friends and pimps of Grant's admlnls Hon cease to speak of the white people of the South as Ku-Klux and murderers en masse, we will then feel that our self-respect justifies us in denouncing as they deserve midnight ma? rauders and murderers." . - . THE WEATHER AXD THE CROPS. Abbeville. The Press and Banner, of the 21th, says: "We are at last favored with the promise of abundant rain. The long continued drought bas very materially shortened our crops, and the reports from all portions of our district are somewhat discouraging. Cotton and corn bave alike suffered." Greenville. The Mountaineer, of Wednesday, Bays : ."Rain began falling yesterday afternoon and continued at intervals through the night, and the ground has already received much benefit therefrom. We presume these showers bave been general; if so, they will stay some ot the damage that would have otherwise continued. ^The corn crop generally has been almost irre ^medlably Injured by the .drought, but these -present showers, with a prospect of more to -come, will help the growing cotton." Cheater and Fairfield. A correspondent of the Wlnnsboro' News aays: "The corn crop ls the best we have had since 1865. Kain will do it very little good. No rain will do lt very little harm. More corn will be made than will be necessary to carry -en the farms another year. The cotton crop lsjtot a complete failure, but the amount of lint will be small, and If the manufacturers wish to ran their machinery all year, they had better, make some alterations so as to work np the stalks." ALL ABOUT THE STATE. -Hrs. Hartha Beeves, of Anderson, died on Saturday, after a lingering illness. -An incendiary set fire to "a disreputable bull" in Wlnnsboro' en Monday. No harm done. -The censos retara shows that the Town of Abbeville has a ; t.pulatloa of 1448, viz: 613 whites and 885 colored. -Greenville thicks the uew telegraph line a glorious thing, but wants to have the office nearer "the hub" of the city. -The new telegraph company have finished their line to Chester, which village subscribed $2000 to the stock of the company. -Some ol the streets in Beaufort are to be macadamized, making a fine drive nearly two miles long, A psjk is in contempatlon. -The cornerstone of the Greenville Metho? dist Church-was laid on Tuesday by the Mason le fraternity. The Rev. Dr. Buist delivered the address. The building ls 90 feet by 50 feet, and 40 feet high, and win be finished in the .spring. . . . LARDS WARTED. Applications by Well to-do Immigrant?. The following letter is printed in the last ^Bue of the Cheater Reporter : NEW YORK, August 14. Major E. C. McLure, Chester, 8 C.: DEAR Bra-I have many applications from -persons desirous ot settling in your State, and -to-day a party of five families have called on > me who want land In York or Chester County. We have been offering land on long credits, say five years, and. as you are doubtless aware, the object of this association ls not only to pro? cure such lands, but to aid persons substantial? ly If they have not the means of paying their own expenses to reach there. These parties, however, are mechanics and small farmers, who have some means, and General If. W. Gary has suggested your name to me, from whom to ob?.ain information of the possibility of obtaining six or seven hundred acres of food land for these people on above terms, f you know of any such, and will oblige me with all particulars, prices, location, Ac, yon will aid in the good cause. Eespectlully yours, JOHN C. JACOBSOHN, General Agent of the South Carolina Land and Immigration Association. A BRITISH" REPUBLIC. Alleged Programme of the English Democrats. The New Tork correspondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger, writing under date of the 21st, makes the rather suspicious announcement that among the passengers from England by the City of Brooklyn, come several well known political agitators who were associated with the Democratic Mr. Odger in the recent de? monstration In Hyde Park against the govern? ment appropriation to Prince Arthur, and adds the correspondent: These gentlemen are said to have a "mis? sion,'' and about this -'mission" there ls much gossip. It is alleged that they have come over ere for no less a purpose than to Interview the American Fenian leaders with reference to great events which are expected to transpire in England before iong. In the ordinary course of events they say Queen Victoria must soon die, in which case a republic will be simultaneously proclaimed in all the leading cities ol the three Kingdoms. The machinery to that effect, It is further said, has been quietly but efficiently perfected, and nothing remains now but to secure the practi? cal co-operation of the Fenian element, Incase lt should be necessary to bring it into requisi? tion. Of the B access of the programme, it is further said, these English Democrats nave no doubt, as many government officials, occupy? ing Important military and naval positions, are secretly pledged to co-operate with it What effect this news will have on the price of consols when lt becomes to be known on the other side, your correspondent ls unable to say. He simply repeats the facts as they have been communicated to him by one who knows. One thing, however, Is certain: these Eng? lish gentlemen have no time to lose. The ca? ble to-day reports the" Queen as "111 again" at Balmoral, and as she may die at any moment, lt ls a pertinent question, What would become of the republic if they were not on hand In Hyde Park to -'proclaim" lt? A DRAMA OF REAL LIFE. Attack and Defence in the Bafenbnrg Poisoning Caae. t _ A correspondent of the New York World telegraphs from London, Ohio, on Sunday night, as follows : I am at liberty to afford an Inkling of tbe evidence which will probably be introduced during the trial of Mrs. Colburn, which be? gins here to-morrow. The prosecution will prove the presence of arsenic, and then en? deavor, by evidence of a circumstantial char? acter, to point the Anger of guilt towards Mrs. Colburn. They will prove by servants that she alone administered the medicine to her hus? band, old Butenburg, during his last Illness, and bring forward witnesses to swear that his other relatives were excluded lrom his room. Frank Bassford, a pork mer? chant of Cincinnati, will swear that on one occasion Mrs. Bufenburg and Colburn were going out riding when old Bufenburg protest? ed, and was only calmed by Basstord, who was then buying a large quantity of hogs. Evidence of farm servants, reflecting on Mr. flbd Mrs. Colburn, will probably not be admit? ted by the Judge, the defence will act on the theory I have advanced that poison was ad? ministered before death by parties interested in the securing of old BuPs wealth. Old farm servants will swear to the love of old Buf for his wife, and then will come what I term "the sensation" in the production of testimony that after old Bui's death an attempt was made by parties Interested to decoy Mrs. Colburn into the woods at night with her two children for a sinister purpose. The preliminary examination of Mrs. Col? burn commenced in London, Ohio, on Tues? day, beiore Oliver Crabb, Justice of the peace. Judge W. R. Rankin, of Columbus, J. C. Mc? Leod and J. F. Chapman, of London, appear? ed as attorneys for the State, and R. A. Harri? son, ot London, and C. N. Olds, of Columbus, for the defendant. The defendant (together with her husband) was present, and the court? house was crowded with people. The testi? mony of Dr. Wormley was more minute than it was before the coroner, but did not differ materially from that already reported except In the following answer: The natural Inference would be that the man was poisoned, unless there should be a satisfactory explanation. We might go a step further with the aid of anatom? ical Investigation. A critical examination of tbe whole body might assist in determining the question. Professor Wormley said further, that there was no case on record ot criminal introduction of arsenic into a dead body. At this point Judge Rankin, on the part ot the prosecution, moved that the coroner be order? ed to examine the body ot the deceased, and have lt taken to a place where the examination could be promptly and effectually made. THE GREAT RACE. Longfellow Beaten by Helmbold on the Saratoga Course. SARATOGA. August 24. Amid almost breathless silence, only broken by some betting man proclaiming his readiness to lav $100 to $30 on Longfellow, the flag tell at the first attempt to start the horses. Helm bold at once took a lead of three lengths, bat in going around the turn Longfellow closed the gap, and before reaching the quarter pole had taken the lead from Helmbold. He led a length along the back stretch and at the half mile mark was a length and a half lu front, which space he kept open along the lower side to the home stretch turn. A burst of ap? plause greeted him as he went under the string on the first mile, a clear' length and a half ahead, in 1.55-both horses under a strong pull. At the turn Helmbold drew a little closer, lay at Longfellow's quarters throughout the next quarter mile, and, as the half-mile pole was passed, he reached his op nonent's saddle-girths. On the lower stretch Longfellow again drew Blighily away, and as they went under the string on the second mile run in 2.50, he was exactly a length ahead. He retained this advantage to the quarter, but at the half mile Heimbold was again at his Baddle-glrths hanging to bim like a shadow that would not be shaken off. The murmured applause ot the vast assemblage burst into a thunderous shout of Irrepressible exultation as Helmbold closed, and cellared Longfellow in coming up the homestretch, passed bim and went under the string on the third mlle-a clear length ahead In 5.45-the great Kentucky "crack" nag already beginning to hoist unmistaka? ble signals of distress. The backers of Helmbold became frantically Jubilant at this unexpected change in the aspect of affairs, and snouts of exultant applause rent the air. At the upper turn Heimbold was two lengths ahead, and he increased his lead to turee lengths at the quarter. Along the back stretch he steadily urew away from his already beaten opponent, and the six lengths advan? tage he had at the half mile he made into a score along the lower stretch. The race was virtually over, for Helmbold galloped up the home stretch and under the string, an easy winner, twenty lengths ahead ot the much distressed Longfellow. Time of the tour miles, 7.494. Tne flrat ml'e waa ruQ ln L55: the second mile in 1.55; the third in 1.55, and the lourth and last mile In 2.014. Helmbold carried 114 pounds, Longfellow 108. -A larg? and remarkable socialist meeting has been held at Leipsic. Many middle class persons and ladies were present. Tbe Com? mune was applauded, and Bismarck and Thiers condemned. GRANT AND GREELEY. THE ADMINISTRA TIOS" TALKING TOO MUCH AGAIN. The Honorable Horace Greeley's Con? ' temptuous Private Opinion of Ulm Personal Characteristics of the Great Agriculturist-How He Flanks the Borea - Hoffman and the Italian Unionists-Tlie Romance of Bliss Crab? tree-Golden-Haired Thompson. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, August 23. Grant has allowed another newspaper re* porter at Long Branch to catch him in a gar-" rulouB mood and extract from him sr me more fiat and silly gabble about himself and his po? litical opponents. The account of this last in? terview, as reported in the Herald, must be distressing to the sensitive Republican, who knows in bis heart that his party ls bound neck and heels to this man. In talking about the intestine troubles of the New York Radicals, his Excellency was so indiscreet as to remark that there were some members of the party who were making discord, but that they "don't amount to much." He meant Greeley and Fenton. Grant's contempt for the erratic philosopher and agriculturist Is fully reciprocated. Mr. [ Greeley is obliged to preserve the form of re? spect towards his party'* chief In the columns of the Tribune, but he does not hesitate-to speak in conversation of him with sneers of ridicule. The old and almost threadbare Joke about "those relations" ls ever on the great farmer's'lips. Mr. Greeley, In spite of that in? nocent, lamb-like expression on his face, is a good hater. He Is almost as loud of telling stories and relating reminiscences as tire late Mr. Lincoln, and Ta not much more choice, either, In his ideas or expressions, and latterly be has made Grant the butt of his most amus? ing yarns. Like all famous men Mr. Greeley is annoyed by borea There is not a small Radical poli? tician in the interior of Ohio or Iowa, who, coming to New York and swelling with local Importance, does nqt call upon the editor of the Tribune to inform him ot the condition of "the Republicans up in Cuyahoga County, slr." Mighty as these little mea are In their own estimation, they sink into their boots at the reception they usually get. Mr. Greeley can counterfeit admirably what Mr. Thackeray called the "stony British stare." Bores shrivel before it. Not only politicians but beggars of all kind, attracted by Mr. Greeley's reputation as a phil? anthropist, flow Into the Tribune office. To tbe latter he exclaims, "Get a hundred dollars, young man, go West and buv a farm." Many a poor darkey from the South, who has come to New York to "pick up gold lu the streets," and has been cast away la the big city without a dime, to buy him bread, calls upon Mr. Greeley, and gets shown to the door by the office boy, (understanding instructions.) As the current of bores never ceases to roll into. Spruce street, Mr. Greeley takes refuge in the rooms cf the American Institute, in the Cooper Building on Eighth street. I am aware -that I am putting the pursuers on the scent, but tbe truth must be told, whoever suffers by it. Here, surrounded by enormous specimen squashes,-and bewildering models of Imprac? ticable Inventions, the "Clergymens' and Scholars' Candidate," as the sarcastlcal Sun now calls him, gets-quietly through the morn? ing papers, and writes essays and editorals. Here nfl- bosom friends know where to find him and are welcome. The Italian committee wno are preparing for the grand demonstration in honor of Unit? ed Italy, on Friday next, have received "re? grets" from Mr. Greeley and Governor Hoff? man. Tbe first expresses sympathy, but is going off West to address an agricultural so? ciety; the latter "thanks for the'courteous in? vitation," but will be detained in Albany by official duties. The Governor's unfortunate experience about the Orange procession ls enough to make him avoid all national and re? ligious festivals hereafter, when he can honor? ably do so. Some or the Irish papers growl about the forthcoming celebration, but It Ts not believed that any trouble will be made. An occasional brickbat only may be shied at the partisans of Ylctor Emanuel. Delegations are coming In from all parts of the Union. Signor L. Canale ls here as the representative of the Italians of Charleston. Little Miss Lotta Crabtree Is the star at Booth's great theatre, and draws, as she always does. I remember the debut of Miss Crab? tree In this city seven years ago. She came here from California with her father, and made Just one appearance at a small minstrel hall called Nlblo's Saloon. There was a very slim audience, mostly deadheads (I paid;) the little girl danced Jigs, hopped about the stage In imitation of a irog, ana screamed at the top of her lungs. She was coarse, crude and angular, but any one might see there was talent In her. Since that unremuneratlve debut, she has fought her way to fame and fortune. The paternal Crabtree setting an un? reasonable financial value on his services as agent, was dismissed. The little sinner mana? ges her own business. She ls now one of the most profitable stars in the galaxy; lays up $250 per night, and plays in the first theatre In America. Her accumulations during the past three years cannot be less than $100,000. Some of tile's tars are millionaires. Joe Jefferson, who plays for $500 per night, ls probably the rich? est of American actors, lt was in 1851,1 think, that with Ellsler and Linden he was trying to manage the Charleston Theatre. It was a bad season, and I fear he had some trouble about meet lng bis board bills. He was only about nineteen years old then. He must be worth nearly a million of dollars now, and the bulk of his fortune has been made out of that Inimitable personation of Rip Van Win? kle. The other rich actors are Forrest, Booth, Lester WaUack, Maggie Mitchell, the Barney Williamses, the Florences and Lydia Thompson. The latter salted down $100,000 in London real estate the other day, and the same amount in property here. She Is repre? sented as having cleared $300,000 by her last theatrical venture in America. She began a fresh season at Wallack's last week, having re? turned from a visit to England with a fresh bevy of blondes. Visitors to the theatre no? tice that Mrs. Henderson (nee Thompson) har been careful to select no beauties like Mark? ham, to divide honors with her in the new troupe. She shines forth alone In her golden hair, gorgeous and resplendent, and all the other Blondes pale out of sight when she ls on the stage. NTM. CRIME IN NEW ORLEANS. NEW ORLEANS, August 25. James Caghlin, now under indictment tor fearfully clubbing Martin Long, killed Michael Hickey last night. Hickey, who ls a reputed thief, resisted his arrest. Arthur Given, shot a short time since by Sheriff Houston, ls dead. THE ARMY WORM IN ALABAMA. SELMA, ALA., August 25.

Disbandment of the .VatIonal Guard British. Ships Lost-Cholera at Ant? werp-Vessels A s h o r e-Roumanian Troubles Settled-Railroad Bondhold? ers to be Indemnified. VERSAILLES, August 25. Ia the French Assembly General Pellissier, the brother ot the Marshal, opposed the dis? bandment of the National Guard as inoppor? tune and dangerous.^ Viscount Metis advocat? ed their immediate disbandment amidst vo? ciferous cheers. Thiers attempted to speak, [but was violently interrupted by the Bight. ?biers concluded that lt was evident he had iiost the confidence of the Assembly, and that he knew what course, to adopt. The amend? ment proposed by. General Duerot for the j gradual disbandment was then adopted by 407 to 154. It appears that Thiers actually wrote out his resignation yesterday, but withheld lt after the adoption of Ducrot's motion. PARIS, August 25. The Radical journals unanimously favor the dissolution of the Assembly. Loxnos, August 25. The railroad bondholders are to be Indemni? fied by a new loan, guaranteed by Prussia and Austria.
