rorelgn Affaira. LONDON, Jone 5.-Tho iron turret ehip G lat ton was tested at Portland to* day. The first shot fired made a hole in her turret measuring nineteen by seventeen inohes, lifted the upper plates, shattered the frame works, and started the' joints in all direotion. The second shot made a hole fourteen inohes in diameter, with thirteen deoimal penetra? tions, the shot rebounding and falling on .dook. Neither shot interfered with the revolutions of the turret. The re? sult of the trial is considered strongly in favor of the turret system.

Wheo witness came out, Fisk's oolored driver asked him what had happened, and telling him, the colored man said, "I wonder the old . man did not pull on him, for he was fixed," and afterwards said, "I carry two myself for him sometimes." The cross-examination brought oat no con? tradictions. The death of Judge McCunn, whioh occurred at 4 o'olock this morning, was the result of great mental depression, caused by the action of the court of im? peachment, in finding him guilty of mal? feasance in office, and removing him from his office, as Judge, by a unani? mous vote.

Despatches from all points eoho "Off for Baltimore," RAXK?GH, N. G., Joly 6.-The Haleigh News, this morning, publishes a special despatch from Tarboro, N. G., dated Joly 4, of an attempt to murder a Demo? cratic editor-Capt. Biggs, of the Tar? boro Southerner-by a mob of Radical negroes. A despatch says: The 4th of Joly was observed here to-day by a large crowd of negroes. Capt. Biggs, of the Southerner, was present as a reporter. He was assailed by a largo number of negroes, and saved his life with di file ul ty, after having exhausted all his weapons. It is certain tbe attack was planned be? forehand. Capt. Biggs escaped with a few slight scratches. The authors of the outrpge are known.

One colored man was killed and three or four others wounded. A Rockwood correspondent of the Chattanooga Herald writes auder date of Juno 26: "The ventilating flue of the Rookwood coalbank caught fire last Tuesday night, and burned most furi? ously uutil Saturday, when, by the most determined exertions, it was extin? guished. The flue goes up from the rooms below through over 100 feet of solid coal ; a fire is kept at the bottom ol this shaft to stimulate tbe draft, aud. it is supposed, comm?nioated to the sur? rounding coal. The rooms below being so large, it was found impossible to shut off the supply of air from below, and the white blaze shot up over 100 feet into the air. The plan used to extinguish the fire was to dig out tbe buming coal from below and put it out with water brought io buckets from tho druin in the interior of the mine, sumo 300 feet distant. Fifty men were kept at this day and night, from Wednesday morn? ing until Saturday at noon. The fire had penetrated over thirty feet into the solid coal OD one Bide, and only five or six feet on the other, and to dig out this mass of red-hot coal was terrible work. I Water bad no effect On it until it was dug loose,, and the heat and steam were suffocating; but the men worked with a will, and succeeded iu saving tbe great coal property. Tho heat was 60 great as to melt the slate roof, which dropped down in waxy puddles, hardening into masses of lava-looking cinder." THE WORD NEGRO.-The Richmond Dispatch thus discourse t h : Let ns took into tbe origin of the word. It comes to us direotly from the Spaniards. They were the first to in? troduce African slavery upon this conti? nent and the adjacent islands. The word hombre negro in Spanish me-ius a black iQ^Dt snd mujer negra *?? bl^k wo? man. Los negroes is the masculine plu? ral, and means "the blacks," including the entire race-tho same as Los Blancos moans "the whites," and includes the whole white race. So negro is a bluck man in the purest Castillian, and Blanco is a white man. Now, we have no ob? jection to being called Blancos or whites, aud why should you think it degrading to be called Negros or blacks? In the South refined white society euphemisti? cally toned down the roughness ot the Spanish negro, and also repudiated tbe insulting Yankee slang of "nigger" and "darkey," and whenever the black peo? ple were alluded to or spoken to, they were invariably addressed as "our peo? ple." or "the colored people," or "co? lored folks." Ia the Troy colored gen? tleman satisfied with our explanation? By the way, the Spaniards got their negro from the Latins, who had it niger, and not from the river Niger, where the bluck men are found. John B. Baldwin, in the Virginia State Demooratio Convention, said that "Greeley had been granted a general amnesty by the people of thu South. His disabilities had been removed, and they intended to go on his bond." A new system of casting type is said to be coming into vogue in England, the type being cast in syllables, enabling an average compositor to set 5,000 ems an hour. The invention boa been patent? ed. Two friends meeting, one remarked, "I have just met a man who told me II looked exaotty like you." "Tell me who it was, that I may knock bim down," re? plied his friend. "Don't trouble your? self," said he, "I did that myself." An Idaho, invalid was ordered by a physician to take throe ounces of brandy a day, and knowing that sixteen drachms make sn ounce, has patiently been taking forty-eight drinks a day ever si noe. The Christian Union says that the re? ports of the aooident to Mrs. H. B. Stowe, in Florida, were exaggerated, and that she is "now able to pursue, in good heatlh, her usual avocations." Nervous old lady (to deok hand on steamboat): "Mr. steamboat-man, is there any fear of danger?" Deok hand (carelessly): "Plenty of fear, ma'am, but not a bit of danger.

Choot und Robin? son, oitizens of this County, were out cow hunting, near Garland, one day last week, their attention was attracted by the curious capers of a squirrel, which acted as if confused or bewildered. One of the gentlemen proposed to catch it, anti they dismounted for that purpose. In their pursuit of the squirrel they came across a large rattle-snake, which they killed, aud just as they did so, the squirrel, which bad gone up a tree near by, fell dead ulose to them. There were no wounds or bruises of any description found on its body, and the strange part of the affair is, what killed the squirrel? Some have a theory that when a snake charms a bird or animal, if the snake is killed while it is nnder thu charm, tho object charmed will die also. Who can explain it? The geutlemen who wit? nessed the occurrence are men of un? doubted truth and veracity." Herc is a new idea for n fair. Somo ladies of Boston racked their fancy to devise something new, by which they could get money out of the pockets of the gentlemen attending a certain fair, and settled on tho following plan: They bad an apron table aud a neck-tie table. The neck-ties were made of the same ma? terials, and matohed the aprons. The ladies bought the aprons, or the gentle? men bought them for them, and every gentloman was informed he must pur? chase a neok-tie. The neck-tie secured, he was expeoted to take the lady who wore the apron to match it, to the ice cream table, and order ice oream for her and himself. By this sharp practioe the aprons were sold, the neck-ties were sold and the ice cream also disposed of, and it was all for the benefit of tho ohurch. Mrs. Holder, wife of Rev. B.

THE BLACKVILLE AFFRAY.-One or two inaccuracies occurred in our report of the Blackville affray, which occurred on .Monday evening last. The following is a corrected account, tuken from the Coroner's investigation: Sol. Groves, J. C. Pender and Capt. E. J. Black en? tered CalifTs bar-room to drink; after taking a drink together. Capt. Black and Sol. Groves wont out ia the piazza and sat down ; a oonversatiou ensued between them abont politics. After a little talk. Capt. Blaok called Groves a liar, and told bim to step out io the street if he wanted anything. They went out, when Capt. Black struck Groves in the mouth; Groves attempted to strike Capt. Black back, but was held and prevented by Mr. J. S. Turnor and Mr. Lartigue; Capt. Blaok thereupon told his BOO, who was standing near, to go home and get bil pistol; the boy said bis mother would not give it to bim; Capt. Black then started off toward his house and return? ed in about three-quarters of an hour with the pistol in bis coat pocket. He stepped ap to Sol. Groves aud said: "Now I am ready for you." Turner, marshal of tbe town, then went np to prevent tho difficulty, and said, "I demand tho peace." Captain Black pulled oat bis pistol and shot Tur? ner; then cocked bis pistol to shoot So? lomon Groves, whereupon Frank Groves, bis son, walked up, as if to prevent his father being shot, though be did not Bay anything to Black, when Captain Black turned his pistol and shot bim. After this Captain Bluck presented bis pistol to shoot Solomon Groves, when Mr. Mc Fail, who happened hf at the time, struck Captain Black over tho linud with a bar of iron, knocking him down and saving Solomon Groves' lifo thereby. Captain Black got up and started to? wards his house-whether to escape or not is a matter upon which there seems to be a diversity of opinion. It is said that he had a kuife iu his baud, and cursed the officer who arrested bim, Bay? ing be (tbe officer) would be the next mun be would shoot. Turner lived about three-quarters of an hoar; said while dying that he be? lieved Captain Black intended to kill | him. Frank Groves is lying iu a critical con? dition, the bril having entered one side, aud penetrating to the surface of the other. Captain Black was pinioued aud car? ried to Barnwell jail, where be lies to await his tria!. Such is a faithful und correct account of one of the bloodiest and etraDgest homicides of the many which have sprinkled with human blood the annals of our devoted State for the last seven years.-Aiken Journal. A wrecking expedition, titted out at San Francisco on the -Ith of February, to recover a quantity of silver coin, said to amount to betweeu 85,000,000 and $b\000,u00, from the wreck of the Spa? nish frigate Lteocodia, is now at work, off Sante Elenu, on the coast of Ecuador.

SINGULAR FREAK.-A Capuchin monk has lately died iu Paris, whose final ideas took tbe strange form of grim, but point ed, irony. He is alleged to have made a will, iu which his effects are be? queathed in thc following singular fashion: First, to the Abbe Michaud, my breviary, because bo does not know bis own; secondly, to M. Jales Favre, my fmok, to hide his shume; thirdly, to M. Gambetta, my cord, which will prove useful one day, round his neck; fourth? ly, to M.

EQUAL TO TEN CLERKS.-The Pitts? burg Mail says: Yesterday aftornoou, we bad the pleasure to witness the trial of n new machine for facilitating business iu large post offices, It is the combined ingenuity of Messrs. Cunningham and Geyser, of this city. The old system of canceling postage stamps by band is su? perseded by this new invention. In addition to canceling tho stamp, it prints the name of the post office, tbe time it leaves the office, and then automatically counts each letter as it passes through the machine. It will do the work of about teu clerks, without complaining of fatigue. It will cancel, stamp And couut 10,000 letters pwr hour. "Gentlemen of the jury," said a Western lawyer, "I don't mean to insin? uate that tins mau is a covetous person, but I will bet five to ono that if you should bait a steal trap with a new three cent piece, and place i,t within six inches of his mouth, you would catch bis soul. I wouldn't for a moment insinuate that he would steal; but, may it please the court, and gentlemen of the jury, I wouldn't trust him in a room with red hot mill-stones, and an angel to watch 'em!" "Owing to tho peouliar arrangement of the programme, no pieoe can be re? peated," was the answer Mr. White re? ceived from his laud-lady (with whom ho boarded) upon asking for a seoond piece of pie at dinner. A facetious keeper, who was taking two convicts to jail last week, when the train stopped, called ont, "Step out gen? tlemen-fifteen years for refreshments I" DESCRIPTION OE THE RACE BETWEEN 1 HARRY BASSETT AND LONGFELLOW.-Bat little difficulty was experienced ia effect? ing a start, and the horses got away to? gether, Bassett having the inside traok. For the first half-mile they ran head and head, tho only advantage, if any, being in favor of Bassett. As the horses, warming into their stride, passed the grand stand, the excitement rose to fever pitoh. The first mile and a half found their positions unchanged, but the back? ers of Bassett evidently bad misgivings, as their, favorite was doing bis best, while it seemed Longfellow was still be? ing held in by his rider. -Their fears were confirmed when the horses swept past the grand stand the second time. Longfellow's rider gave head to his horse, who gallantly responded, and quickly placed two lengths between him? self and Bassett. The scene was indescribable. Men threw their hats in tho air and cheered wildly, while ladies waved handkerchiefs aud bet countless pairs of gloves on John Harper's steed. From this mo? ment it was evident all was up with Bas? sett, aud although his rider used whip and spur without stint, it was of no avail. Every moment Longfellow in? creased his lead, and landed an easy winner in 4.34, or, as some of tho judges claim, in 4 33. Bassett was beaten over a dozen lengths. The enthusiasm of the Western men was unbounded. They crowded around John Harper, cheering and congratulating the old man, who also seemed laboring under great excite? ment. Immense sums were lost on the race by New Yorkers. John Morrissey is umoug the heavy losers. The day's races are acknowledged the finest and best conducted of the American turf. "You G WINE HIT WHAB YOU LOOK?" A negro held a cow while a oross-eyed mau was to knock her on the head with an axe. The negro, observing the man's eyes, in some fear inquired, "Yon gwiue hit whar you look?" "Yes." "Den," said cuffee, "hold de cow youBelf. I ain't gwiue to let you hit me." The story is applicable to Forney's war. He is making a great to do of his assailing Hartranft, but is so cross-eyed in the business that Grant cannot but think the blows are aimed at him. In a philosophic article, ostensibly about Uartrauf t, he makes the following re? marks, which are evidently more appli? cable to Grant than to Hartranft: "When party Kaders, presuming upou rust majorities, seize upon the ma? chinery ot party to subserve personal aims they do so at the hazard of the party's succeas; for, although party alie giauoe may be ordinarily counted upon iu a fair contest, all things being equal us to parties, yet beneath the surface there dwells iu the hearts of the Ameri? can people an honest purpose, and over and above nil devotion to party presides a spirit of exalted patriotism. "Public opinion, being enduring and tolerant of evil while the nation's life was in dauger, has at last been aroused to a sense of dauger nearer home. It will not tolerate the oontinuauce of plunderers in office. It will not submit to the dictation of a ring-manager whoso very name is synonymous with bribery anti corruption. It will not oonsent to place in the highest offices of the com? monwealth men incapable of perform? ing their duties; nor will it allow men of doubtful integrity to handle the public funds. Honesty is the watch-word of the new roform, and the people will have it." A special despatch from Baxter Springs, Missouri, July 2, 1872, gives the details of the shooting of C. M. Taylor, Deputy United States Marshal and City Marshal of Baxter, by Colonel Lloyd, Mayor of that place, ou Saturday evening. Boyd had bad a fight with some citizens, and a warrant for his arrest was placed in tho hands of Taylor, who, on finding Boyd, informed him of the warrant and read it to him. Boyd signified his willingness to go with Tay? lor, but suddenly drew a pistol and shot him through the breast, killing him in? stantly. There was an old fend between them, growing out of a city election. Boyd at first refused to give himself up, feuring that he would be lynched, but finally surrendered and was released on bail. Considerable excitement exists, aud thc citizens of Baxter held a meet? ing last night and denounced the murder as wilful and malicious, and pledged themselves to take all necessary steps to I bring Boyd to justice. -.> ? -#v The Rev.
