oLfJMBIA, S. C. Thursday Morning, December 10,1870. The OOH of tn? iaureno Prisoners-Ita Prownt Stalin. These men, on yesterday, were brough t np before Judge Vernon on a writ of habeas corpus. The prisoners were re? presented bj Messrs. Garlingtou & Simp? son-the State by Splioitor W. H Talley. . Messrs. Dunbar and Worthington also appeared against the prisoners in some capacity not known to us. Pending tho hearing of the case, Judge Vernon was . served with a notice of ? resolution of impeachment by the Legislature, and the effort was made by Messrs. Dunbar and Worthington to secure a delny of the case. J edge Vernon docided to hear the case through and to give his deci? sion. The result was that tho prisoners were discharged on giving bail in the snm of $5,000 each. . The following aro the names of the men thus discharged : B. S. Jones, R. P. Todd, Hugh L. Far? ley, James Copeland, S tobo D. Carling? ton, Turner Richardson, Geo. F. Mosoly, J. Y. H. Williams, N. S. Harris and Henry Sober-all citizens of Laurens. On tho 28th ultimo, the last 100 men of the British garrison in Canada em? barked for home, thus severing the last link of formal protection bestowed by the mother Government, and leaving the destinies.of the New Dominion entirely within its own hands. A Montreal paper, in commenting npon the event, truly says: "The departure of tho lust of the troops was significant, and will hereafter be set down as snoh by the historian. The contrast thus afforded in tho voluntary evaouation of Canada, with the long and bitter struggle which at? tended the separation of tho American colonies, gives abundant food for reflec? tion, and is illustrative of a long stop in the world's progress toward that time when the sword shall cense to bo the world's arbiter. AN OUTRAGE AND SWIFT RETRIBUTION. -On Thursday evening last, a young lady, whose name we have been unable to learn, was attacked by a negro named Bill Bland, who had been at work in a coal bank near the wind-mill, six miles South Of this place, and was shamefully mutilated. lu struggling to release her? self from the grasp of the demon, shu was thrown violently to the ground, and the heavy form of the negro falling npon her, broke three of her ribs and otherwise injured her. We are informed that as soon as he accomplished his devilish designs, he attempted to shoot her, but, fortunately, the pistol would not fire. The girl is an orphan, and but little hopes of her recovery aro en? tertained. The negro was arrested, and, after making n full oonfessiou of tho deed, was hung by the side of the road, where he was left hanging for three days, with a paper pinned to his coat, upon which was writ'en, "Lot this mau hang."-Miama (Mo.) Cable, Nov. 2i. my ? m> A little colored girl, about nine years old, daughter of Ann Wood, of this place, was drowned in Reedy Biver, on Monday last. The child wus walking en a plank over a part of the stream above the falls, near Mr. Cline's planing mill, in company with an older sister, when she fell into the swift curront; the sister tried to save her. and would have been drowned, also, but for the rescue effected by a colored mau, who happened to be near tho spot.-GreenvilleEtielrprisu. my ? ?

Mr. Wilkes had recorded on tho jour? nal the following: Upon the resolution to impeach Judgo Vernon, I voto nay, for tho reason that I do not consider the evidcucc sufficient to put him upon his defence. I think that moro than one wituess to tho same fact should have been examined. I do not doubt tho ve? racity of uny witness who testified be foro tho special committee. My objec? tion above relates to the quantity of evidence. Tho testimony giveu before the com? mittee was read by the Clerk. Mr. R. M. Smith made some remarks against the adoption of tho report, assorting that Judge Vernon had done nothing but what ho was required to do by law, and Iliac iie believed tho resolu? tion was intended to suspend tho writ of habitu* corpus, and that it would have that effect, if btu ried through. Ho pro? tested against tho Legislature stepping in between the citizens of tho Stuto and their great civil right-tho writ of habeas corpus. Ho said that if Judge Vernon was impeached for issuing these writs, no other Judge would dare to issue another, while the General Assembly wus sitting. Ho hoped the House would not pu u der'to tho prejudices and wishes of a few, who aro pressing them on for political purposes. * A colored member asked him, as a kind of justification for pressiug the matter, if tho political rights of tho peo j pie wore not their most valuable ones? j Ho replied, to this senseless question, i that uot having enjoyed political rights j lately, he w^s not prepared to answer it. He waa repeated 1 j* intemipted daring bis address by Mr. Ore wa ?nd other Ber pubiioan members, but they did not 0 ? cooed in pro von tia g him from express? ing hia opinion un tho question.
