Allon, Chester. S. P. Kinard, Newberry C. H. Jamos Grant, Union. Julias Poppe, Andorson C. H. HORRIBLE MURDER IN PHILADEL? PHIA.-The Philadelphia papers of Monday give the following particu? lars of a most horrible murder which iras committed in that oity the previ? ous day, a brief account of which was telegraphed : A terrible tragedy was enacted last evening at the North-east corner of Tenth and Pine-streets. An old lady named Mrs. Hill was found about 9 o'clock lying dead in the yard of the premises. The body was shockingly mutilated about the head, giving evi? dence of foul play, and was besides bruised, aa-though it had fallen some distance on to the ground. The corpse was discovered by the servant girl on returning from church, and as she was abont making the house se? cure for the night. The girl giving the alarm, Mrs. Hill's son-in-law, a man named George Twitchell, came down stairs iu an unconcerned way, and expressing no particular surprise at seeing the venerable lady's dead body, assisted tho servant in carrying it into the house. Nows of the terri? ble- affair hod, in the meantime, spread through the neighborhood, and a highly excited orowd '. gathered around the house. Police officers were soon on the ground, and Twitohell and his wife were arrested on suspicion of the crime. Mrs. Twitohell is confined in the house, but Twitohell was taken to the Sta? tion House, corner Fifteenth and Lo? cust, where he now remains. The room where the supposed mur? der was committed is magnificently furnished, and the entire premises show all the evidences of refinement and wealth. A sofa under the win? dow is covered with blood, and the act was evidently committed upon it. From the sofa trails of blood readied into the next room, and the window of the room is marked by bloody finger prints, showing where the victim was precipitated into the court below. Alongside of the sofa, in the inner room, W?3 found a poker covered with blood and hair. The prisoner, Twitohell, will give no account of the affair further than that the lady committed suicide by jumping out of the window. All the evidence is against this view of tho case, however, abd the crowds which visited the premises last evening were of the unanimous opinion that a vile murder had been committed. Mrs. Hill was very wealthy, and it is sup? posed that the murderer or murder? ers hoped by this unholy means to obtain possession of her money. The social standing of the parties gives an especial interest to tho caso which, in the horrid distinctness of its details, has hardly, if ever, hod a parallel in thia oity, j _ TREASURY ESTIKATES.-"Data," of the Baltimore Sun, in his despatch to that journal from Washington, says: " The estimates of expenditures of the Secretary of the Treasury for tho next fiscal year, ending June 30,1870, will be'from forty to fifi - millions less than they were for tho present fiscal year, unless the indian war should beoome more formidable than is indicated at present. Last year the estimates for the expenses of the Navy Department were placed at thirty-five millions, but for the next year it is understood that they will not go much beyond twenty millions. The Secretary's estimates for the receipts and expeulitures for tho coming fiscal year are based princi? pally on the general average of those for the past nine months." Tho Clevolond Plaindealer says that "Gen. Grant has written to Gen. Slocum, a Democratic member of Oongross, recently elected in New York, intimating that 'there will not probably be anything in the next Ad? ministration whioh a moderate De? mocrat may not support.' " ELECTION JUIOTS IN ENGLAND.-It seems that the elections in Great Bri? tain have been attended with a great deal cf disorder ; but thai is no new thing, and wo have no evidence, so far, that the riots and tho fighting have been worse than a hundred times before. There has been unusual ex [ oitcment about this contest, and a good many high-and-dry old tories, I who believed that the reform bill would enthrone tho mob, and whelm everything respectable in a flood of dirty democracy, expected a general letting looso of tho disorderly classes of society. A good many hoads have been cracked and windows broken, a scoro or so of shops and houses in different parts of the kingdom demo? lished, and one or two lives lost ; but much worse things were done in times past, when there was no household suffrage. Elections, in fact, havo.al? ways been conducted with more quiet and decorum in the United States, where the suffrage is nearly universal, than in Great Britain, where it has been greatly restricted, and the nearer England approaches to our system of popular government, tho more smoothly she will find the exercise of the suffrage to work. ARREST OF A WHITE MAN AND SIX NEGROES.-On Wednesday last, D. A. Fosket, living at tho "old Lan drum place," midway between* this and Aiken, was arrested, brought to this place and lodged in jail. At the same time and place, were arrested six negroes, who aro also in our jail. Tho charges against Fosket, so far as we can learn, aro that he keeps around him a gang of negroes whom ho has armed, and whom he con? stantly drills. That he has incited these negroes to kill certain of his neighbors. That the houses of cer? tain of his neighbors have been vio? lently assaulted at night, and that these neighbors are in daily fear of their lives. That he has offered a white man of good character, who is willing to swear to the fact, $500 to kill a certain well-known citizen of this place. And that he is a mis? chievous man, and foments strife and discord generally in the section in which he lives. The six negroes aro of the said gang. Fosket bas not given bail. These arrests were made by Deputy State Constable Kennedy, nssisted by his special deputies, D. W. Christain and Noah Corley. \Edgefiehl Advertiser. The Galveston (Texas) Civilian, of the -Itli instant, makes the following statement: "Although it may bo a mattor of surprise to our readers, it is nevertheless true that Messrs. Heidenhemer <fc Co., of this city, have just received a consignment of coolies direct from China. They were shipped direct to this port under ordinary bills of lading, and are re? garded by tho firm as simple mer? chandize, to be sold for freight aiid charges. Two-thirds of these per? sons aro females, one of whom is said to be very beautiful. They are to be disposed of at auction. In Califor? nia and Mexico coolies are quite com? mon, but this invoice, wo believe, is the first ever received in Texas. What tho result will be, remains to bo seen." CHINA.-Advices from Hong Kong are to the 15th of October. Mr. Burlingame is still sharply criticised by tho English press in China. A European steamer had been fired upon by Chinese gun-boats for not dipping hor flag as they passed. Tho Chineso Governor-General at Chin Kiang had received instructions to accede to the British demands in re? ference to tho outrages on missiona? ries. Tho rebels had entered Niug P?- _^_ JAPAN.-Advices from Yokohama are to tho 28th of October. The Mikado had been crowned Emperor. Jeddo still remained closed, but was ready for opening to foreign trade as soon as tho conference between tho authorities and tho foreign consuls came to an end. Nagati and Hako dadi had been seized ny tho South? ern troops. Tho foreign citizens escaped in safety to Sbaughae. COTTON BURNT.-We regret to learn that tho cotton-honso of Mr. Samuel L. Reid, near Fishing Creek Churoh, together with eight or ton bales of cotton and fifty bushels of wheat, was destroyed by fire on Saturday night last. The burning is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. [ YbrkviUe Enquirer. A hotel in tho vicinity of Sonth am'ptbn, Ontario, called Elkins' Ho? tel, was entirely destroyed by fire early yesterday morning, and two j men were bumed to death. The pro i prietor of the house and three otbeifl I were also so badly horned that tho}' i are not expected to live. ?rHAJJLAL. NOTICES.

Oct 31 A MATTER OF INTEREST. REV. Dr. Cumming, of London, saya: "Tho assurance of life is one of the moBt Christian things that I know, for what is it? It is taking the load that would CUUSII ONE FAMILY and spreading it over twenty thousand families; so that a mero drop lights npon each, instead of tho ovenchelming torrent falling upon ono. It seems to mc a beautiful illustration of beariug one another's burdens. And, therefore, let every young man entering upon life, every head of a family, whether, high or low, set his house in order so far as to assure his life." Thousands of widows and orphans livo to attest the divine bene?ccnco of LIFE INSURANCE. Without its protecting ogis, many of them would, to-day, be beg? gars Supon tho streets, or occupants of poor-honses and penitentiaries. * No man can foretell what will bo his circumstances at tho timo of his death. The rich man of to-day dies the pauper of to-morrow, and tho family, delicately reared, become tho unprepared victims of diro Want, with her train of countless evils. Such a result is impossible, with a policy of Lifo Insurance. It, indeed, offers the ordu absolutely safe investment which can be made for the benefit of ono's family and of his own old ago. All other investments may result in loss or ruin. If aif would insure, who can calculate tho immense suffering and crime which the world would be sparod! ."ETNA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, of Hartford, Connecticut? Assets - - - - 810,000,000. H. E.
