Although 10 o'clock was the hoar desig? nated for the procession to move from the late residence of the late Emperor, it was thirty minutes after that time when the hearse which .wai to convey the re? mains to the chapel drew up in front of the grand entrance of the mansion. A deputation of Paris workman, who were to walk at . the head of the procession, arrived at the same time. They wore immortelles iu their coats, and carried wreathe of yellow flowers in their hands. On both Bides of the hearse were the Imperial arms,' surmounted oy the letter "N." A great crowd, which steadily increased, surrounded the hearse. The funeral procession started for the chapel at 11 o'clock, and moved in the following order: A man bearing the tri-oolor, borne on an ash stick, out at the last moment' before the corhgti moved; the deputation of workmen from Paris, with uncovered heads, bearing their wreaths; the chaplain of the family, bearing aloft a golden orrjoifix; the hearse, drawn by! eight horses, driven by postillions, and mourners, who uumbored 800 in all, and inolndod the Prince Imperial, who went uncovered; Prince Jerome Napoleon; Prince Joachim; Prince. 'Achilla; M. Bonher and many distinguished Impe? rialists, English noblemen* Paris priests and others. The-Priuco Imperial was very pale, and exhibited traces of the anguish bo has undergone: The Empress Eugenie was too ill to attend' the funeral. The was oovered- with immortelles and violets. - There was no funeral sermon at thp chapel. The Bishop of Southwark sang' a requiem mass over the remains. He was assibted by Father Goddard, spiritual advisor to the late ex-Emperor, and all priests who were chaplains at the. i ToJUejiee during the reign of. Napoleon. Mr. Lutz, the organist of St. George's Cathedral, London, was present at the ohapel with his ohoir, and conducted the maeioaV portion of the sorvicoa. The remains were deposited in lha daoristj? which has been formed into a mortuary ohapel, until the removal of the body to Franca for final intermoat. The pro cession Whs very long, and the hearse was at the ohapel before the end of the cortege had left the family mansion.' All the carriages and pedestrians were three abreast across the roadway, and in that order proceeded to the ohapel. The Prince Imperial and Prince Napoleon re? turned from the chapel in one carriage. They were : cheered by the orowd&r through whioh they passed. At least 30.000 people gathered to witness the funeral proofs,!on. H American fllutlorn. CiiAJtriKftToN, January, 15.?Arrived?

The Outlaws.?From u ? gentleman just returned from liobesou County, we learu that a sheriff's posse, consisting of Wm. Wilson, the slayer of the notorious outlaw, Andrew Strong; Floyd Oxen dine, who also figured somewhat iu that tragic occurrence, and Wm. McClenney, went across the line into Marion Connty, S. O, some time last week, in pursuit of Stephen Lowrey and John Looklear, the former being the only remaining mem? ber pf the band of outlaws of whioh the famous Heury Berry Lowrey was once the leading spirit, and the latter bein^ accused of the murder of the McLeod family, in Cumberland County, some years ago. Mr. Wilson and the others returned ou Tuesday, and reported that they oarae up with John Looklear at a certain house in Marion County, Lowrey having disappeared before their arrival. As the posse neared the house, Mr. Wilson called to Locklear to come out, when the latter replied by threatening to shoot him, if he did not leave. The party continued to advance, however, and had come within a few yards of the | house, when Looklear fired upon them, shooting Floyd Oxendinu and wounding him severely, though not dangorously, in the neck, breast and hand, while, in the midst of the confusion which ensued, the murderer escaped through the back door-end beat a hasty retreat. Mr. Wil? son and party followed after the fugitive, who was making his way towards his old haunts in Robesou. County, and finally I succeeded in getting a warrant for his arrest from a magistrate by the name of Lee, whioh was placed in the hands of a special deputy. After a vigorous pur? suit, the party finally came up with Looklear and succeeded in effecting his arrest, the special deputy formally deli? vering the prisoner into the hands of the I posse from Roboson County. Elated at their success iu securing at least one of the villainous desperadoes of .whom they were in pursuit, Mr. Wilson and hie I friends started homewards with their | prisoner, who had been seourely ironed, when, as they had reached a point within about two miles of the line, thoy were approached and halted by Sheriff Berry, of Murion County, accompanied by De-! puty Sheriff A. P. Brigmuo, formerly of j this city, who proceeded to arrest the whole party, and made them retrace1 theiir steps to Marion C. H. Here they wero arraigned before Justice Leo, the [ same magistrate who had issued the war? rant for the arrest of Locklear, whoa the 1 latter was unconditionally turned loose, while Mr. Wilson and his party were) only released on the payment to the she? riff and magistrate aforosaid the sum of $641.90. ?

Eppebson,?For some time past, Somter has been cursed i>v the residence, in her limits, of thieves of every grade, pattern, size, age, color and variety, who lay their sticky hands on everything that comes within their reaob, from a baby-rattle to a legislative pay certificate. Cursed as the town has been by this speciality in rascality, we hoped that it would en|oy exemption from unjust and unwarrantable arrests of its citizens upon fttTse and frivolous charges, hatched by malicious hireling informers. We regret to record that onr hope has proved fallacious, and:that onr' townsman, W. H. Epperson, was arrested on Wednesday, the 8th instant, for al? leged violation of the royenuo laws of the United States, and unceremoniously bustled off to Charleston, * to answer there the charge preferred against him. We are informed that the faots of this outrage are as follows: sri Mr. Epperson, some time iast anramer, threw a lot of empty,.whiskey barrels, the stamps on whiouhoforgotor ne gleoted to cancel, into, his book-yard, among other rubbish, whore they lay for a long time, exposed to all kinds of wea? ther, till discovered by a prowling, prying detective, who pretended to believe that they were placed there for futoro use, and to defraud the revenue. Mr. Epper? son heard nothing more of the matter, until ho was arrested the- other day, upon information given, as he supposes, by this worthy and zealotis functionary. His arrest is an intolerable outrage, as common sense will tell anybody that he would never have thrown the' barrels ont in his yard, where everybody could see | them, and exp?sed to the weather, if he hud any intention or deairo of using them again for a fraudulent purpose. It would be a glorious1 thing if some' of these sneaking informers oonld bo caught while prowling around the pre? mises of honest men, taken to the near* est mill-pond, and duoked into decency or to death.?Sumter Keioa.

Mf. Barnes WiHrins, one of the eeotion masters -on the road, was present and assisting 1b superintending the work. He gave directions for a cer? tain thing to be done, and upon the hands not showing a disposition to move very lively, he struck one of them, by the name of John, on the back of the head or neck with a spade be had in bis hand at the moment." The blow is said to have been a very light one, apparent? ly; but no sooner was it given than the unfortunate colored man dropped in his tracks. Mr. Wilkjns immediately went to his assistance^ and at his direotion, the. man was plade'd on a cotton bale, when he felt of his pulse, oponed bis shirt bosom and placed his hand over his heart, and then called to one of the men near him and told hith to ran for a doc-" tor. He then Walked off hurriedly, and has not* been seen eince. The body of the poor fellow was' cold and stiff in death, not a mueclo having been .seen to move or a breath escape him - after the infliotion of the blow. It seems to be the impression of all who know - any? thing of the oirocmetasees, that it was far from Mr. Wilkiue' intention to inflict serious injury upon the man, as he bad * shown'no signs of anger, and was always considered an orderly and well-disposed gentleman. Mr. W. resides at Oerro Gordo. The colored man who was killed is said to bo a resident of Darlington, S. O.?Wilmington Star.
