Whether ?ny robbery was committed or not, I have not learned. There is considerable vigilance being exercised in the matter, it is said, with a fair prospect of disco? vering the criminals, which in all pro? bability were' those who . appeared to be policing the road. -1 . Ku KiiUX OUTBADE.-A fearful Ku Klux outrage was stated to have takeu place on the Sand Hills, near this city, a few days ago. A oolored, and, conse? quently, a loyal citizen ran into the yard of tlie United States Arsenal, bleeding from wounds inflicted by robel Ku Klux, J in close proximity to the sacred soil of the Government. HQ stated that while traveling along the road a short time be fee, be met a party of Ku Klux, who commanded bim to halt. Feeling that the hour of death was drawibg nigh, that the Ku Klux iuteuded to immolate another ono of the faithful Republicans of Georgia, be raised his bund iu au im? ploring attitude, and made a piteous ap? peal for mercy, but instead of bearing and heoding his prayer, the party gave a Ku Kluxish laugh, and ono of them fired his pistol at tho palm of tho up? raised potato stealer. The bullet sped true to and through the mark, and the Ku Klux pastfcd on, leaving the bleed? ing victim by tho way-sido. This wus tho story told by tho loyal oolored citi? zen, and this is the story which the Radical papers will publish under tho usual ghastly headings, and with thu usual edifyingcomments. But notwith? standing tbe straightness '. the negro's narrative, it (urns out to bo a-falschood, manufactured from whola cloth. The negro mot no band of Ka Klux, and .consequently could not bave boen shot by.one of their, number. An . investiga? tion disclosed the faot that the loyal oitizen bad been working for a gentleman ; of this County, and shot himself one day accidentally, iu the band, while playing with a pistol. He had also rob? bed his employer on the same day and ran away from his place on that account. A good ou'vage badly spoiled. , [Augusta Chronide. THB SITUATION IN NOBTH CAIIOUSA. Au address to the people of North Caro? lina appears, in the Raleigh Sentinel, signed by W; H. Battle, B. JF. Moore, T. Bragg, G. V. Strong, L. H. Rogers, and other men recognized as conserva? tivo leaders, which is iu avowed responso to one put forth not bing ago by Gov. Caldwell, in which that functionary la? mented a lawlessness ! which he asserted prevailed in a number of localities, and threatened tho people that if it was not put down ho would call for, troops to put it down. Tho .present address reminds tho. people that the lawless bauds aile confined tb avery few localities and lia ve no political affiliation whatever. But .tho conservativo party is held sesponsi blp for., all violence of this sort. Tho signors call, therefore, upon ell. good men of tho State to assist the officers of tho law in ferreting outsecrot offenders, in bringing them to punishment, and establishing order and law everywhere.

The best efforts p?, buri?o3t iD?tooptiu?oitiy:ona in -public meetings, -called' for the purpose |of, advising againBt lawlessness, and in support of peace and order, have been misrepresented;! arjd. /Wade,. by these writers, to oontribute to the horrors of the situation in Spartanburg. Even tho United States troops, who aro boreas the 'supportera of peace,.aud law, we sup? pose, iab,tbo instance of these correa-' pendents or thoir party, are not safo from the slanders which they are forging upon our people. We had occasion sometime ago to speak of the oonduot and bearing of tho officers and soldiers of the garrison at this place, under the command of Colonel Myers, and have not had our good opinions changed by the revenue officer, who could not call out the men of Colonel Myers' command to forage upon the people of the Coun? ty, while engaged ia hunting up viola? tors of? tho revenue law. The refusal of Colonel Myers to send out his mon and horses, unprovided with transportation for forage, &c, bring? forth the wrath of said revenue officer upon Colonel Myers and everybody else, 4u ono of theso letters, which threatens even the present Stute officers with a "change in 1872." Thus the just and honest action of a United States officer in tho dis? charge of bis duties is misrepresented, and he slandered by one bf theso cor? respondents, as our citizens have been iu many instances.-' We do not claim that all is right in Spartanburg, or.in the State. We know that it is not, but at the sumo time we know that our people are not responsi? ble for tho situation. Tho revolutionary government imposed upou tbem and supported by tho bayonet, which bas displaced and repressed thu constitu? tional. government under which they have been brought up, and by carpet? bag and scalawag officials, has heaped upon the people injuries and insults, are tho first causes of existing evils. The situation in this Stale is such, that it would even be wonderful if disorder did not exiBt. The whole system itself is disorder. A State-Government which will give to our people protection, will give them peace. The character of the people of Spartanburg as peaceful and law-abiding citizens, waa as good as any community could boast, until tbey were goaded almost iuto desperation- by wrongs and oppression. [Carolina Spartan. HENRY V, OP FRANCE.-Tho London Times, of May I?, iu speaking of the future of Frau co, says that "au impa? tience- of slow progresa, and a cons?? quent resentment of compromise, cou stituto the standing difficulty iu the progress of France. Tbeycaruings after order and pence of a nation wearied by dissension and disaster appear just now to support a movement iu favor of Hen? ry V, and it ?B evon said that the Assem? bly ot Versailles "is prepared to accept him as King. Tho Henry V spoken of ia Count de Chumbord, tho son of tho Legitimate, or old Bourbon, monarchy. He is the BOU of tho Duke of Berri, aud the grand-son of Charles X, who was driven from Franco by thc rovolutiou of 1830, which placed tho Duke of Orleans (Louis IMiillippe) iu his plnoo upon the throne. His father was assassinated in 1820, while in the act of handing his wife (the Duchess of Berri) to her car? riage from tho opera house Six months af te? his doath she gave birth to a pos? thumous child? who has since boen known by the' title of the Count of Chambo*!. His grand-father (Charles) was the younger brother, so-called Count D'Artois, of tho unfortunate Louis XVI, who was executed upou the guillotine January 21, 1793. It would bo a singu? lar close to a cycle of revolutions that run back almost a century, for tho coun? try to return to the Hottso of Bourbon, and to the very brandi of it against which they originally rebelled, and to maintain whioh result they have spout 'so mnoh blood and made BO many sacri? fi?es. But after what has transpired, who will bo disappointed at any result that may be iu store for Franco upon tho cards of fortune? DROWNED.-Coroner Teft held an io-, quest, yesterday, at the, Etiwaa Phos? phate Works, over the body of Wm. Cassiday Duncan, a little white boy, be? tween seven aud eight years of age, who was drpw.uod in, Town Creek, uear by the works. The poor little fellow, with a companion,' abolit four years old, wont to the creek on a crabbing expedition, and fell from'the wharf into the oreek. His friend wandered back home, aud gave no account of what' had become of "Willie," and, after a ti relesa search, went to bed deeply grieved, tho mother weeping through the night. Towards the morning, thu survivor inquired why the mother of Willie was crying, aud when told because ho could not bo found, he artlessly .-aid, "Willieis in tho water." Tho mystery was solved, a search made, and the body discovered in tho crook, with its ?HCO downwards, nod much bruised aud crab eaten. Tho ver diat of the jury was in accordance with tho facts as stated. - Charleston Courier. Ta?

Indeed, opr" ancestors claimed this right nuder tho British Constitution, and when it was assailed, they regarded the provoca* tion tis sufficient to warrant revolution. A -Radioal Congress and a drunken President, have, in a few short mouths, deprived us of what our ancestors won through Besen long years of suffering and blood. No moro fitting illustration could bo suggested than tho fool who dostroyed tho beautiful temple whoso construction progressed through ages, whose exquisite architecture was tho handiwork of genius and whose altar was the repository bf jewels. Theso facts bro worthy of cool and solemn re? flection. Tho poople cannot reflect too deliberately upon tho character of their rights, the source from which they spring, and the fenrful price with which they were bought. Peace is always de? sirable and should be the wish of every good citizen. But there is danger in the delusions of a safety purchased at the expenso of all that is worth living for. There was a generous despair that sprung.from the high sentiments of our fathers which made them too noble to be followed by servile childrou. They presented human nature iu its grandest form. There is something sublimo iu the record of their ? glorious achieve? ments. Kings were not only their pu? pils, but their suppliants, aud. princes were not regarded as targets too good for thoir '"villainous saltpetre.'' They had a scorn of danger and a fierce, tiger spirit, that mudo thom not only brave but terriblo. They kuew their rights and maintained them. They were not appalled at i inpossibilities. They plucked victory from the very jows of despair, ?uni won the right to live as freemen. \Neio Hampshire Patriot. A WOMAN Wno HAD KILLED FOUR MEN IS CAPTURED AND SHOT.-You have heard, doubtless, of the vivandiorcB of the National battalions, who have marched brightly and bravely to tho combat with the corps, or with the men who claimed their wild aud more thau half unwomanly devotion. Ono woman of this class, straight, tall, splendidly set, with vigor in her faoo aud beauty in every limb-sho could nut have been more than twenty-five, aud she was a woman perfectly made-I Baw suffer a frightful fate. Captured, I -know not how, she had killed with a revolver, be? fore ber baud could be stayed, a Versail list officer and three of his men. Sho looked "out and out" a fury, her baudsome fnco was black with powder, hor lips especially made livid by busty biting of cartridges; her hair hung ia disheveled'tangles aboot her handsome but ferocious fuco, aud her eyes, gleam? ing with aa overstrained courage that mounted oveu to madness, blazed defi? ance on the rod-breeched crowd who had ber at their mercy. I will not linger on tho scene. Her hands wero tied, aud, with her buck agaiust a wall, she. died pierced through and through with shots fi om tho rifles of M. Thiers' troops.
