Aud nonceHvo regard it tho part of the citizon to exert all his influence in b?half of good government by a? active disc burgo of his political du tioa. Bat the effort is to link the ex-Presi deofeV Utterances with the Democratic party* ! And ia this way it is sought to prejudice the claims of this organization ra Uia minda of the people of the North. Tho ex'-P readout bas certainly shown iu TB . rrjLuai rv.r^ tun? IO UO uSuluOI&uu partisan. In truth, he advises th a South ern people *o remain political neutrals, To co un oct Mr. Davis'speeches, with the cause of the Demooraoy is, therefore, plainly unfair and illogical. Tho amount ol the matter-is simply this: It io not agreeable to certain journals to find Mr. Davis the recipient, of'honors on the part of the South. In .thia respeot the South is not likely to heed the tastes ol these journals and.their sympathizers. We believe that the 'great majority, oi the whites of the South-the so-called .'.ex-rebela"-are disposed ' to imite with ? tbe generous > men of the whole country to bring about an era of genuine good will aud real prosperity. They are dis poised to let the dead past bury its dead, and tb unite for the public good upon a broad and liberal field of harmonious co-operation. But the New Tork Times and its co-critics will find no true South? ern man ready to forego tho sympathica of the past or. meanly to turu his back apon the men who, in a great and ear nest struggle, were his official represent? atives. J. ;* THE FORT MILL "KU KLUX."-Last week mention was made in our columm cdt a highly colored story published ic the Columbia Union, in relation to "Kn Klux" operations at Fort Mill in thu County. As wo then believed, the s toi j burns ont to have but little foundation, . the informer of the Uni?n having at? tempted to make a mountain of con? siderable oise from a very small mole - Mil. A gentleman at Fort Mill, writing . to ns on private business, auder date ol the 24th nit., gives the following ver? sion of tho affair; .? .iii*,.'Doubtless, ere this, yon have heard the current report in regard to the O'Donnell affair, vizi that a number of men went to h?tf house in open daylight, Without disguises, and forced him to ro i?gu ?ho -position of Trial Justice.

Tho only inoorreot part of tho 8 ta tom eut-nj ado by us was in -Jocating this o%rVag?ythat?nevor ocour t<ed, in Union instead of Spartauburg. Dr. R. M. Smith, a Representative from ?'Spartauburg, called at thu Union office, .jugs tho day. be for el ho p ab I Icfttxon. of Mw ,1 [.paragraph relative to tho assertion of che correspondent of the Charleston Kaws. informed the editor (as this writer .hos the.ib^t;.irfiOT?leri?e-Jon/bajieping) that Draper was alive and welt, and re? quested him to oorrect the fatso state? ment that had been"'published in his ?olumna a/qm days (fifteen days, the edi? to? ?aya?) n bof Qip. What did thia fairy [ minded ?ditai.?o?.? .Why, ho .said: not ono word about what Dr. ?mithnad told him, but published tho asBortiou of the News' correspondent-that Draper^waa ?lW??nd well-and immetliatdy reiterat? ed ~'the false assertion,- baaed upon what he said a gentleman from Spartauburg told him, that Draper was "certainly hanged until be waa dead." In further illustration of hie love of truth and fair dealing, he labors, iii thia morning's ?88UO of his paper, , to perpetuate tho false statement in reference to Draper's murder, hy.paying;,f"W,e.have noyer yet B?en'th? m?ri'who has stan Wiley Dra? per alive." Wo havo aeeD numbers of gentlemen who have seen Wiley Draper alive; and if the editor pf the Union was half os auxious*V>'do' justice to the peo? ple of the up-country as he is to slander and misrepresent them, he could aeo plenty of men who have seen Wiley Dra? per alive.. WUl .be say nou> that ho be? lieves Wiloy lamper was murdered, as represented in his paper ''on the 18th day bf ^Kbfoi^rjoi1 last>'\ I If .he ??ea not now believe it why not co'nro ont, Uko an h?best man, and say to his readers that his information was inoorreot. ' But tho Union editor "novor d?nied that tho writ [habeas corpus) had'been disregarded" in the case of tho Liq rona -T_ai a ?. ^_it_-.. ?ti fj. . (jiisuucia, ? uui mu uo aaj mo pnuuut'is had been liberated." Well, what did he say? Why, he Baid that "if writs of habeas corpus were sued Cat, he never know it." Then ho was ignora nt of the facts pf the case, or he -wilfully perverted them. ' He can hang on the horn of his choice. Neither one will hold him np in a very enviable attitude. Ho did say: "Wo believe all the . persons arrested are at liberty." "The harder she struggled, the'deeper she went," is an assertion we road in our school-boy days in.reference to aland fowl that undertook to swim. So with- the editor of the Union. ? The firisonerfl in question bad been arrested ong enough for the news of their arrest to roach Raleigh) N. C., and.for the Sen? tinel to publish an account of the affair, and for tho Union editor to write on tho 7th of December, a correction of the Sen? tinels version of that affair; and yet.at that time he b?licved, BO he said, that they were all at liberty, i How did they obtain their liberty? They did not break jail that we eyer heard of, nor were they out on balk' / What was their actual Con? dition at that time? Why, they had been arrested and dragged from their homes to Columbia, in defiance of a writ of habeas 'corpus, and thrust-aa felons into the' jail of this County, without an examination, and were, at the very time that the Union editor penned the sen? tence above quoted, lying iii jail "right hore in this city," as "everybody in . Co? lumbia, except this wide-awake, truth loving editor, knew," and we believe he knew it as well as everybody else did. Wo well remember reading that asser? tion the morning it was published, and calling the attention of some gentlemen then present to the misrepresentation it contained. But he says they woro not coTivnitted to jail by Esquire Solomon till tho Oth Of December. So much the worse for him and his party. It is not the first instance -in which prisoners have been Drought hero and thrust iuto jail without au examination. The editor says we wish to injure him. Not so. Wo wi8lr, if possible, to have justice done to those whom he maligns; aud if .he will publish as facts things that never oconrred, and deny others that have occurred, he aball find, occa? sionally, an effort made by us to set him right, though success iu the effort be un? attainable, so far as drawing from him an acknowledgment of the wrong is oon oerned. Howbeit, he does como down One round on the ladder of infallibility upon which he plaoed himself when he defied the production of a single instance in which he had published the ooour rence of an outrage that had not hap? pened, inasmuch as ho now finds that ho has "vert/ seldom boon mistaken." In conclusion, the Union editor need not vex his righteous, soul becauso wo write over a fictitious signature. Wo have a real nanoo, of which we aro not ashamed, and whioh wo never refused to give to those who had any right to know it; and whenever we do him so great personal injustice as to ron dor it necessa? ry'for bim to call on you for that name, in order that ho may be enabled to vin? dicate his injured innocence, you are At full liberty to give it to him. But, until then? wo bog to remain his, for the truth, .

Galbreath, Esq:, Trial Justice, acted as Coroner, while tho jury was composed.of highly respectable aud in? telligent citizens. -The only witnesses in tho mutter were Mrs. Faolkuer, wife of the murdered mau'/dud Mr. J. C. . Wil? liams, son of Maj. Williamson Williams. The evidence brings' ?ut nothing now, simply coft-ohQrMmg , (he : facts. Already known to :tho public. . Ou the night of 1 the 21at, a.inau, unknown to the twp I Witnesses, appeared at Maj. Williams' gate, was received by Mr. J. C. Williams, stated that he had come to iuform the wounded mau that his whereabouts waa known, begged the loan of a wagon to contey.the wounded man five or , sjx mi l?a further on, and finally, requested tc . sss Faulkner. Williams returned into the house and stating the case to Faulkner, asked if he should admit the stranger. Faulkuor bade him do so. Th?'?tranger entered the room 'where Faulkner lay, and, Mrs. Faulkner being present, requested to speak privately to him. At the behest, of Faulkner, Mrs. F. and'Mrs. Williams left .the. room. After remaining a short time with Faulks uer, the unknown man emerged and. left the house. . Mrs. F. and Mr. W. then returned to Faulkner, who told them that be believed the man to be his friend, and that he had gone out to bring in a friend whom he (Faulkner)' knew., After a short absence, the stranger ' returned, bringing witli him, as far as the gate, another man. Leaving this man at the gate, hg again entered the house and re? quested to deliver, privately, to Faulkr nor a message from his friend at the gate. Upon this, Fuulkner agaiu requested his wife and Mr. Williams to leave the room? which they did. After anothet abort tarry, alone, in Faulkner's room, the stranger again Came forth and re? quested Mr. Williams to gd out With him to the gate and hold their horses until he and the second man should come in and see Faulkner together. Mr. Williame went with him, but. a.1? he neared the gate saw no horses. As he was in the act ol passing- through the gate, four mon, all without.disguise and unknown to him, suddenly sprang np, three of whom pre? sented their .pistols to his head, and in? formed him that should he attempt tc move they would instantly shoot him dead. Mr. Willioma promised to obey their commands, Upon this the first named mab and one of the latter font rushed into the house, into Faulkner's room,.and fired two shots into his body. They then carno rapidly out of the house and through the gate. Simultaneously Mr. Williams was released, and all five men made off precipitately. Mr. Wil? liams hastened to the honso whero he found poor Faulkner a lifojosa corpse one oliot through his head aud another through his thigh. Mrs. Faulkner, hav? ing been twice obliged to leave tho room, saw and knew but little. During tin strango man's first abaonoe from Faulk ner'a room, the latter told her ;h< thought the man a friend, but "hu wai fearful of the party;" and that he, th? strange man, was going to bring to bim a gentleman by the uame of Taylor, whe lived at Saluda Old Town. And that the strange mau was to move him some miles further that night, in a spring wagon, ?nd finally get him off into Nortt Carolina. This is tho sum and substunco of the evidence, aud the verdict of the jury oi inquest is in accordance. The allair . ii very horrible and very mysterious.

It appears from the evidence that thc deceased bad two wives, aud that he lived with ono or tho other, as his whimt dictated, and that ho had quarrelled witl one or both-of them a few days previous to bis death; whiob circumstance, con? nected with the sudden "manner of hit taking off," excited suspicion among hil friends that poison had done 'tho work, Dr. It.
