wished that tho prisoner bad hoed

wanted to toll our , people .the trouble
they were bringing upon themselves.
Martial law with all ita attendant horrors
would soon bu visited upon a community
which would not be persuaded by goutier
means to obey tho law ami koop tho

DK\H SIRS: I have had the pleasure of
examining to-day, in tho studio of Mr.
Albert Guerry. a portrait from th? pro
cil of thatyouug and talented artist of
the Rev. James C. Forman, painted by
request of the students of the University
over wbiah Dr. Furman presides. I
have not in a great while seen so admira?
ble a likeness or so beautiful a picture.
Tba drawing is perfect, and tho painting
exquisitely done. The artist has over?
come thu greatest difficulty in his art,
and baa caught and fixed upon his can?
vas the..very attitude of bia subject,:and
that expression of foco which, moro thfin
the. fe.iturca themselves, mark' the indi?
viduality of men. Tho position is very
striking. The Doctor sits in his iibrury,
surrounded by his books and with the
Bible opeu on his lap and his finger on
tho passage to which he refers, bas just
enounced some grent truth, and with
that soft, yet irresistible earnestness BO
peculiar to his eloquence, looks on bis
audience, entreating, and challenging be?
lief. ' Mr. Guerry ia an artist of whom
the people of South Carolina may well
be proud. At the.'-request of many of
his friends, he has consented to exhibit
this painting in your city and iu Colum?
bia. Should he do BO, tho lovers of art
in those cities will not be displeased with
a visit to his rooms. Kuowing, my dear
sirs, with wlint pleasure yon recognize
superior talent whon honorably directed,
I take the liberty of calling your atten?
tion tb this work of a young South Ca?
rolinian. Very truly yours,
W. K. EASLEY.
Tho Illinois Stale Journal has this com?
plimentary reference to a distinguished
citizen of this State:
"Mr. Robert Toombs is a blustering
scouudrel, who, if he bud received his
just deserts, would long since have filled
an ignominious grave through tho me?
dium of n hemp halter, adjusted by the
bands of a United States official.
Through the clemency of a kind anti
benevolent Government, his depraved
ami worthless lifo was spared, ami now
ho employs his foul breath in denounc?
ing "Radicalism" in tho most opprobri?
ous and treasonable terms, complaining
that liberty has departed from tho land.
His own actious and utterances aro a
hideous contradiction of bia own black
hearted malevolence. It is not impossi?
ble that this treason-stained wretch will,
with some of hi? fellow-rebels, Uko. Jeff.
Davis and other notabilities, yat tempt
ft to so iar.as to secure for themselves a
taete of Federal hemp."
We would libo to .know something of
tho moral and physical dimensions of
this foul-mouthed Hoosier editor. It
would be a curious calculation to ascer?
tain how long hu-could bo mado to stand
under the eagle eye of Jeff. Davis, or
anywhere in sight of Gouoral Toomba,
without a bayonet nt his back.

giving bis hearers, particularly the

Harris was convicted of the murder cf
the owner of a trading boat, a few miles
above Marion, nud, although protesting
bia inuoceuce to the lost, it in believed
and almost known be waa guilty.
Just before the last prayer was offered,
Roacnborough whispered to tho colored
minister asking him to prolong the
services until sundown, intimating that
they would be rescued by thpK brethren.
Necessary precautions bari been taken to
prevent an outbreak or rescan.
Excursion steamers ran from the oity

A SEA OF ALLIQATOUS.-A gentleman
who has been stopping in our midst for
some timo gives an account of -,oqo ol
the most terrible scenes ever recorded in
tho annals of this oouairy. While
steaming up the plaoid waters of the
Ooklawaho River be witnessed a conflict
which .made bis bair stand on omi, "nevej
to be forgotten. After rounding Sacket't
Point the stream widens and deepens,
and the watera at this bend always look?
ed troubled nnd black. Suddenly thc
steamer encountered a sea of alligators,
floundering and splashing water in evorj
direction; their bellowing shook, tin
foundation of the waters. The captain
says that ho never hoard or witnessed
such a scone before and uever wishes tc
aguie. Before tho speed of tho little
steamer could be checked they found
themselves in tho midst of these terrible
monsters. To go buck or go ahead wat
impossible. The passengers endeavored
to'drive them away by shooting, and th?
hands on board beat them with hand
spikes, yut they seemed more d?termin?e
to obstruct tho passage of thod>but
The situation every moment becami
critical, and tho orew und passenger!
more and more' exhausted, and tho de
s ruction of the boat seemed inevitable.
Already three colored hands had beer
devoured by those terrible monsters, ant
several others wounded. Several plank;
were torn from the hull, and tbesteume;
was with difficulty kept from sinking
Just at this period a source of relic
came. A huge serpent appeared, timk
iug his way from the lake*, the same, i
ia supposed, that was-Been at "Devil'
Elbow" last fall. Tho alligators B'OOI
disappeared following the sea devil, o
whatever you may cati him, nindi sud
lighting never was witnessed. At i
point below whore tho river' 'suddeni;
uarrows.it Boon becomo blocked'witi
dead alligators and the water was. re<
with blood. It is difficult to accoun
.for the number and sudden appearance
bf these animals, but thc 'latest ?beor;
may throw some light npon the subject
It ia believed by many thai there is
large subterranean passage'Of water bc
tween the head waters ot tho Okeh obi?
Lake,. and . that theso monsters hav
found their way hero in great, number.'
