On Monday night of last week, a .whito man, named Cornell, and a negro man, who accompanied him, -were both murdered near Eowndes viile, in this District. Their pock? ets had been rifled, their load of tobacco . and bats had been carried off, as well ns the pair of mules at? tached to their wagon. They had recently come from Georgia, and had passed through this place. A. negro going i.ito Lowndesvillo before day, on Tuesday morning, reported that be had met two white mon going to? wards Savannah River, one riding a mule and leading another mule, the other, man walking behind. No clue to the perpetrators of this dreadful crime hus been obtained. As James Martin, familiarly knowu in this District uti ;:aueuk," wu? uu his way home, on Monday afternoon, he was ' shot by some person un? known, about fotir miles ?iuui the village, on the road to Calhoun's 'Mills. An inquest was held by Squire McCasliu, on Tuesday morn? ing, at which tho following facts were elicited: Martin was ridiug a mule, accompanying a wagon, in which were two negroes and a barrel of whiskey. The whole party stopped ou the outskirts of the village, and divided the whiskey with some per? sons who hud claims to a portion of it. Shortly after they left the vil? lage, they overtook a third negro man, who was allowed to get into the wagon. When they had proceeded a little more than four miles from tho village, they were overtaken by three men on horseback, who ordered them to stop, claiming that tho whiskey was theirs, saying at the same time to the negroes and Martin, that they did not mean to do them any harm. Martin dismounted of his own ac? cord, and commenced retreating in the direction of tho village. Two of the men on horseback .followed him. Martin then commenced running, and the men discharged their pistols. They were "all ' in sight of the negro men, Who say that the men on horseback did uot shoot as if they intended to hit him. He was not hit in tho back, as he must have been, if these men had shot him. These.two men stopped after shoot? ing, and returned to tho wagon, and with the third man on horseback, filled their, bottles with whiskey, and emptied tho balance in the barrel on the ( ground. Very soon after, tho sound of a pistol shot was heard; but Martiu was then ont of sight and no one was seen on tho road. Mr. Sprouts testified that five men on horseback passed his house rapidly, bat he did not see them ro turn. A negro woman named Affy, was the first to discover Martin. He was lying on the side of the road, with his feet in a ditch. There were marks of his having dragged himself or of his having beeen dragged on the road. He said to the woman: 4,Oh! God, I am shot," and told her that h* did not know any of the men that h?? had seen. He very soon bled to death, as he had been shot in the Soin, and an artery had been cut. artin's pocket-book and pistol had been taken from him. The negroes in the wagon had pistols, but they were not disturbed. [Abbeville Banner. About two yoars ago, a sehooner sailed from Mobile with 150 colored mon on board, ostensibly bound for Texas, where the freedmen were pro? mised employment ns railway labor? ers at high wages. It is now alleged that the negroes were taken to Cuba and sold into slavery, and tho Mobilo journals are prosecuting an inquiry into th* subject. Rovfiwil prnmf?Qnt radioaln are* reported as having been concerned in the matter. .'4-^^m*"< A mniclen Indy of New York has made a will, in which she bequeaths all her property to a religious cor? poration to build n church. She furthermore directs her executors, in duo process of time, to use her dust and entire remains to rnn'.t mortar with which to lay the corner-stone. Her name is for the present with? held. THE GREAT DAY IN DARLINGTON. Tho Darlington Democrat says, that from 3,000 to 4,000 persons assem? bled at Darlington, on tho 23d, where a barbecue was prepared by the De? mocratic party, and that il was diffi? cult to tell whether the whites or the colored people out-numbered.

Givo heed for a moment. They aro manufactured from unpuri?ed alcohol, containing a consider? able portion of fusil oil-a poison almost as deadly as prussic t*c:d. Tho basis of tho regular tinctures of tho Materia Me? dica is tho same. No amount of "herbal extracts" can overcome tho bad tondenoy of this pernicious clement. Tho essence of sound rye, thoroughly roctificd, is the only stimulant which can bo eafely used as a component of a tonic, alterative and anti-bilious medicine, and HOSTETTEB'S STOMACH BITTERS is tho only medi? cinal preparation in the world in which this article is need as an ingredient. Hence the extraordinary effects of this groat specific. It gives strength without Sroducmg oxcitomont. No other tonic ocB this. All tho ordinary bitters flush the face and affect the brain. Hostetter's Bitters diffuses an agreeable calm through the nervous system, promotes digestion and produces sleep. No other tonic so quickly revives tho exhausted physical energies, restores tho appetite and re? moves the gloom and depression which always accompanies weakness of the bodily powers, lt purges from tho sys? tem tho morbid humors which retard its natural functions, and which bring pale? ness to tho cheek and suffering to tho brow. It banishes those clogs upon plea? sure, restores tho Bystem to high health, aud necessarily proves a valuable adjunct to tho digestivo organs. A trial is all that is needed to establish it in the confidence of tho skeptio. September 30 -ft! .?MANHOOD."-Another New Medical Pamphlet from the pen of Dr. Curtis.

OF NEWS, POLITICS, LITERATURE. An excellent Paper for Country Reading. ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC IN THE GREAT FIGHT AGAINST RADICAL USURPATION. TO THE PEOPLE OF TUE SO UTIL TUE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to tho rehabilitation of the South in its former prosperity-is offered to subscribers at tho low rato of $1.50 for eix months. The annals of tho American Republic show no political campaign comparable in tho magnitude of ita issues and tho mo? mentousness of ita results to that for tho Presidency, now pending. Indeed, tho very lifo of free government is on trial, and it will bo a sad commentary on tho capacity of the people for tho exorcise of that high trust if they, the jurors who are to try tho issue, pronounce a verdict of self-condemnation. If the South bas any hope it is in the success of tho Democratic party in tho coming Presidential election; and every citizen ia vitally interested in the progress of the battle, and cannot afford to ho without a sound and reliable newspaper. As an organ, not only of sound Demo? cratic principles, hut as a vehicle of ge? neral nows, the GLEANER is confidently commended to Southern support. A large eight-page paper, of forty-eight columna, filled with tho contributions of able cor? respondents, tho daily wealth of tele? graphic communication and readable edi? torials. Especially will it ho valuable as an organ to diaabuao tho Northern mind of the falsehoods in relation to Southern thought and actions,-with which it is the industrious vocation of certain partios to poison tho springs of Northern feoling on Southern subjects. In this view of the matter, no moro valuable aid to thc true reconstruction of tho 'Quntry and restora? tion of just sentiment at the North toward tho South can be rendered than hy sub? scribing to the WEEKLY GLEANER and sending it to acquaintances and friends in tho Northern States. We aBk tho aid of such of our political conirados as shall see this prospectus, in tho distribution of the paper; especially during tho progresa of thc impending campaign.
