The remains of Napoleon will lie in state until the hoar for the commence? ment of the funeral ceremonies at noon. Yesterday, the pnblio were admitted to the ohapel, and at mid-night 10,000 per sons had viewed the solemn scene, in? cluding tho Prince of "Wales and Dnke of Edinburgh.

Flags are dis? played at half-mast and the bells are toll iug. ! London, January 15?1 P.M.?The funeral of the late ex-Emperor of Franco took plaoe at Ohiselhorst this morning. Although 10 o'clock was the hour desig? nated for the procession to move from ! the late residence of the late Emperor, it was thirty minutes after that timo when the hearse whioh was to convoy the re? mains to the ohapel drew np in front of the grand entrance of the mansion. A deputation of Paris workmen, who were to walk at the head of the procession, arrived at the same time. They wore immortelles iu their coats, and carried wreaths of yellow flowers iu their hands. On both Bides of the hearse were the Imperial arms, surmounted oy the letter "N." A great crowd, whioh stoadily increased, surrounded the hearse. The funeral procession started for tho 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 cortege moved; the deputation of workmen from Paris, with uncovered heads, bearing their wreaths; tho ohaplaia of the family, bearing aloft a golden crucifix; the hearse, drawn by eight' horses, driven by postillions, and mourners, who numbered 800 in all, and included the Prince Imperial, who went uncovered; Prince Jerome Napoleon; Prince Joaobitc; Prince Achillo; M. Rouhor and many distinguished Impe? rialists, English noblemen, Paris priests and others. The ?Prince Imperial was very pale, and exhibited traces of the anguish he has undergone. The Empress Eugenie was too ill to attend the funeral. The coffin was covered with immortelles and violets. There was no funeral sermon at tho chapel. The Bishop of Southwark sang a requiem mass over the remains. He was assisted by Father Goddard, spiritual adviser to the late ex-Emperor, and all priests who were ohaplains at the Tqilleries during the reign of Napoleon. Mr. Lutz, the organist.of St. George's Cathedral, London, was present at the ohapel with his choir, and conducted the musical ?? portion of the services. The remains were deposited' in.lhe saoristj? which has been formed into a mortuary ohapel, nntil the removal of the body to Franee for final inter most. The pro? cession Was very long, and the hearse was at the chapel before the end of' the j cortege had left tho family mansion. All the carriages and pedestrians were three abreast across the roadway, and in that order proceeded- to the ohapel. The Prinoe Imperial and Prince Napoleon re? turned from the ohapel in one carriage. They were cheered by the crowds' through whioh they passed. At least 30.000 people gathered to witness the funeral procession. American. tu ti Item. Charleston, January 15.?Arrived?

The Outlaws.?From a gcutlemau just returned from Robesou 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. McCleaney, went across the line into Marion County, S. O, some time last week, in pursuit of Stephen Lowrey aud John Lookleur, the former being tho only remaining mem? ber of the baud of outlaws of which tho famous Henry Berry Lowrey was once the leading spirit, und the latter being accused of the murder of the McLeod family, in Cumberland County, some years ago. Mr. Wilson aud the others returned ou Tuesday, und reported that they came up with John Locklear at a certain house iu Marion County, Lowrey having disappeared before their arrival. As the posse neared the bouse, 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, und bad oome withiu a fow yards of the bouse, when Locklear fired upon thorn, shooting Floyd Oxendinu and wounding him severely, though not dangerously, in the neck, breast und hand, while, in the midst of the confusion which ensued, tho 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 Bobesou County, and finally succeeded in getting a warrant for his crest from a magistrate by the name of Lee, which was placed in tho bauds of a special deputy. After a vigorous pur? suit, the party finally camn up with Locklear and succeeded in effecting bis arrest, the special deputy formally deli? vering tho prisoner iuto the hands of tho posse from Roboeon County. Elated at their success in securing at least one of tho villainous desperadoes of .whom they were in pursuit, Mr. Wilson and his friends started homewards with their prisoner, who had been securely ironed, when, as they had reached a point within about two miles of the line, they were approached and halted by Sheriff Berry, of Marion County, ncjompanied by De? puty Sheriff A. P. Brigmau, formerly of this city, who proceeded to arrest the whole party, and made them retrace theiir steps to Marion C. H. Here they wero arraigned beforu Justice Leo, the same magistrate who had issued tho war? rant for the arrest of Locklear, when the latter was unconditionally turned loose, while Mr. Wilson and his party were only released on the payment to tho she? riff and magistrate aforesaid tho sum of $641.90. ?

Ettersom.?For some time post, Sumter has been cursed by the reaidenoe, in her limits, of thieves of every grade, pattern, size, age, color and variety, who lay their atioky hands on everything that comes within their reach, 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 enjoy exemption from unjust and unwarrantable arrests of its citizens upon false and frivolous charges, batched by malicious hireling informers. We regret to record that bur hope has proved fallacious, and that our townsman, W. H. Epperson, was arrested ou Wednesday, the 8th instant, for al? leged violation of the revenue laws of the United States, and unceremoniously hustled off to Charleston, 'to answer there the oharge preferred against him. We are informed that the faots of this outrage are as follows: Mr. Epperson, some time last summer, threw a lot of empty whiskey barrels, the stamps ou which he forgot or ne? glected to cancel, into his baok-yard, among other rubbish, where 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- future use, and to defraud the revenue. Mr. Epper? son board nothing more of the matter, uutil he was arrested the other day, upon information given, as he supposes, by this worthy and zealous functionary. His arrest is an intolerable outrage, as common sense will tell anybody that he would never have thrown the' barrels out in his yard, where everybody could see t them, and exposed to tho weather, if he had any intention or desire of using them again for a fraudulent purpose. It would be a glorious1 thing if pome of these sneaking informers could be caught while prowling- around the pre? mises of honest men, taken to the near? est mill-pond, and ducked into decency or to death.?Sumter Neuss.

Mr. Barnes Wilkins, cine of the section masters on the road, was present and assisting in superintending the work. He gave directions for a cer? tain thing to be done, and upon the hands not showing a disposition to more very lively, he struck one of these, by the name of John, on the back of the head or neck with a spade he had in his baud at tho moment.' The blow is said to have been a very light one, apparent? ly; bat no sooner was it given than the unfortunate colored man dropped in his tracks. Mr. Wilkina immediately went to his assistance, and at bis direction, the man was placed on a cotton bale, when ho felt of his pulse, opened his suiit bosom aud 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.
