AFFAIRS IN UNION.-The Times says
On Wednesday night, five cf the sol?
diers who were lodged in jail at this
place for desertion, made their escape by
sawing the bars of the window in the
large hall. Although all the Ku Klux
prisoners confined in the jail could have
escaped at the same time, not ono of
them took advantage of the opportunity.
The following arrests have been made
by United States Marshals since our last
report: Gillam Thomas, Thomas Vinson,
Warreu Barnett, William Vaughan,
Joseph S. Sims, Jr.,* T. L. Hames,* S.
McWhorter,* A. Ward, D. A. T. Farr,
Golden Harmon, Samuel Harmon, James
Mosely, Pack Mosely and Marion Fow?
ler. Those marked thus * were released,
after examination before United States
Commissioner Byron, upon S3,000 bond
each, to appear at the next sitting of tho
United Stutcs District Court.
We leam that a number of men have
lately deserted from the garrisons at this
place and Spartanburg. Many have
been captured and brought back. They
give as an excuse for deserting that when
they enlisted they were promised and
paid .sixteen dollars per mouth, but the
Government has siuoe reduced their
pay to thirteen dollars. They claim
that they engaged with thc Government
to work as soldiere, for a certain length
of time, at sixteen dollars per month,
bab tho Government bas broken tho con?
tract, and they don't see why they should
not bo permitted also to ,4fly" from it.
Tbe argument would hold good with
private contracts, but it is not likely that
Grant's administration will "sou it in
that light."
Derry Castle, Ireland, bas been de?
stroyed by fire. Nothing is left stand?
ing but three side walls. A tremend?
ous breach was mado in the rear by the
falling of a ohimnoy, whioh burst from
the intense heat. Two men were killed
I by the fulling of a wall.
An Alabama negro and his wife are in
? jail at Greenville, for the murder of
their daughter, a girl of twelve yearr.
I The child was taken to a swamp, beaten
to a jelly, and then bathed in a tub of
I scalding hot salt water. It died in a
few hours afterwards.
A Norwioh, Connecticut, lady started
on Monday for the Sandwich Islands to
marry a man whom she mot jost twenty
years ago, and with whom she has been
in correspondence for fifteen yeare, not
j once seeing him during that time while
he wooed and won her.
The horrible spectacle of three men
being carried over Niagara Falls was
witnessed Wednesday. They wero in a
boat. All of them were of course
drowned.
Speaking of the murder of Minor
?aris, in this State, the Louisville Cou?
rier-Journal speaks as follows:
We want another investigation. We
want a thorough inquest into the murder
of Minor Paris, a citizen of the United
States, shot in time of peace by Federal
soldiers under the color of a civil war?
rant. This man was in the peace of the
commonwealth; he was pursuing a law?
ful occupation; he did not attempt to re?
sist the arrest by force, nor was he sup?
ported by confederates or accomplices.
On being hailed, and ordered to como
forward and surrender himself, he failed
to obey, and for no other apparent rea?
son than to save themselve; the trouble
of capturing him, the soldiors shot him
to death with musketry. This man had
not been convicted of crime. He had
not been tried, even. Mr. Grant's sol?
diery saved the courts that trouble.
His guilt or innocence is a matter of
but little moment. We are concerned in
a much more important question-the
tenure of life and liberty under this
Cossack rule which Bends abroad a rude
soldiery commissioned to shoot down,
without judge or jury, any citizen against
whom a charge caa be fabricated.
We avi also interested to know why a
civil judge in time of peaoe is required
to intrust the military with the execu?
tion of bench-warrants. Under tho Con
stition, that warrant should bavo gone
to the sheriff. If the sheriff and his
deputies had been beaten off, the next
recourse would have been the posse corni
talus. If this had been insufficient by
reason of thu overwhelming numbers of
tho law*brunker?, the Governor would
have culled upon the yeomanry of the
Stute at largo. And, after all th eso bad
been tried and hud proven inadequate to
tho vindication of justice, ns a last re?
sort, recourse would have been had to
the military arm of the General Govern?
ment. But in South Carolina there hud
been no such resistance to legal process
ut any time, and none of the ordinary
methods of common law had been put
in operation before the violent, extraor?
dinary and revolutionary step was taken
of invoking tho arbitrary and unconsti?
tutional appliances which are proper
only to those under the jurisdiction of
courts-martial, and that only in time of
war aud insurrection.
Moreover, we should like to have the
reasons investigated which induced the
President to over-run South Carolina
with his soldiery, whilst positively for?
bidding the military to repel n powerful
mob, armed and combined in declared
war against tho constituted authorities
of Louinianu. In the one case, there
was no rebellion against authority, in
the other, most defiunt rebellion. It is
true, there was no great bloodshed in
either case, but no thanks for this to
Grant's perverse discrimination und
wicked violation of his duties. While
refusing Warmouth's petition, a Repub?
lican Governor, but uot a friend of his
faction, we are curious to see a justifica?
tion of his treatment of South Carolina,
and of hi? murder of her peaceable citi?
zens.
A BROTHER. WORTS HAVINO.-A story
conies to us from an interior New York
town, which assures us that the ago of
chivalry is not past, and that there is
still plenty of work for knights errant to
ilo if they would only hunt it up. A
telegraph operator married a young and
pretty girl who had a mother. The lady
also hud a brother iu California whom
she had never seen. Tho mother took
the young couple into her house, for she
bad droamed how pleasant it would be
for all three to live together nuder one
roof. It waa only a dream. The yoong
man began to neglect and then abuse bis
wife, and finally turned the old lady ont
of her own house and barred the door
against her. This was too much, and
the insulted spirit of the mother-in-law
telegraphed the news of her dire disaster
and ber daughter's woes, to her sou in
California. It so happened thut the son
in-law was obliged to eeud the message,
and thus winged the shaft that after?
wards quivered in his heart. The sou
and brother of thu oppressed women
?umped on tho first train, and was soon
speeding away to tho home of his child?
hood with u well settled purpose of re?
venge. He arrived at tho quiet little
town that had nevor had a disturbance
of peace, and first appeared in the ofiice
of the telegraph operator as tho knight
of the flashing cow-bide. Hu identified
his brother-in-law, took off his coat, and
commenced vigorous operations. The
fellow commenced howling, and tho
whole towu triod to getup stairs into the
otfico. Tho Californian showed the
leaders of the crowd a largo pistol, and
advised them not to interfere, and they
didn't. Well, both operators obtained
complete satisfaction iu au hour or two's
hard work, and then the wielder of the
cow-bide told tho wielder of tho light?
ning to flash out ot that town, and ho
lost no timo in making arrangements to
depart. Tho affectionate sou and bro?
ther then visited his mother aud sister,
told them the new order of things, and
left tho next day for his Californian
home.-Missouri Republican.
FIRS ON JOHN'S ISLAND.-Tho lumber
and grist mills of Mr. J. M. Humbert,
situated on John's Island, about ten
miles from the city, were destroyed
by fire yesterday morning about 3
o'clock. The stables and commissary
depot adjacent were also consumed.
The progress of the flames WUB so rapid
that the stable dcor had to be out open
to save the mules from destruction.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but is
supposed to have boen the work of an in?

and cat off the small toes; bend the
back to conform to the Grecian bend,
tbe Boston dip, the kangaroo droop, the

os tbe taste inclines; then add three
yards of li non, IOU yards of ruffles and
seventy-five yards of edging, eighteen
yards of dimity, one pair silk cotton

and affectation and folly. Garnish with
ear-rings, finger-rings, breast-pins,

The labor troubles in Germany are

employment. The masters of three

Troubles have ensued in tho streets.
Tho discharged workmen have issued a
united appeal to the people at large for
BUpport. They discountenance the use of
force and threats to prevent others from
working. As most of these men belong
to socialist societies, "the danger" of

?EBIAIJ NAVIGATION.-Ballooning dur?
ing tba siege'of Puris, however it may
have been viewed by others, seems to
have impressed some sanguine and en?
thusiastic Frenchman with the vast capa?
bilities afforded by schemes of ?erial
navigation. They have lived ever since
more in the clouds than is usual even
with a genuine native of Paris. Now
one M. Sinei proposes to take his flight
directly over tue North pole, bidding de?
fiance to ice and snow, polar beare, and
hostile and thievish Esquimaux. Hia
idea is to transport his balloon to the
most Northern headland of Greenland,
and taking advantage of the first West?
ern wind, sail for Siberia, where, if he
ever arrived, he would. probably be im?
mediately arrested as a conspirator,
dangerous to the peace of the Russian
empire. For though many novel plana
have been adopted by tho prisoners in
that bleak land in order to escape their
vigorous imprisonment, the feasibility
of ballooning it triumphantly over the
heads of their enemies never entered
the brain, probably, of the most despe?
rate.
