We are told that the women of Ply? mouth Church have made Bcecher's cause their own, nnd go so far in their zeal as to proscribe from their society those who dare to ndvocato the convic? tion of their idol, which is all very wrong. They simply seek to make licen? tiousness respectable, and, hereafter, whenever a fellow wishes to become a hero, he will take his hat in his hand and go among them for the purpose of getting up a scandal and making a na? tional reputation. Adultery must be made odious. It may be that Brother Beecher, even if guilty, is perfectly Inmost in denying his guilt. Ho has been traveling on his shape now for at least forty years, and to expect him to remember every woman that ho ever sat on tho parlor door and examined engravings with would be ab? surd. % A Confedebate Veteran. ?The Savun nah papers record the death in that city, on Ihursdny last, of Cupt. M. G. Pren dergrost, a well-known resident of that city. At the breaking out of the war, he joined the Palmetto Guard, Second South Carolina Volunteers, and served with the command under the gallant Cuthhert and the chivalric Kcrshaw for over one year. From this command, he was transferred to the Jeff. Davis Legion, of Georgia, J. F. "Waring, Colonel, and in a short time, by his daring and bravery, coolness and judgment, earned for himself the reputation of a good sol? dier. His fame was not confined to this command, and ere long he was selected for the dangerous and responsible posi? tion of scotit under Gen. J. E. lb Stuart, and, after the hitter's death, under (Jen. "Wade Hampton. In this capacity, he served during the remainder of the struggle. The deceased was universally cstcamcd in his native city, and was well ami favorably known to many Charles toniaus. A Man's Leo Badly Crushed.?A pain? ful accident occurred Friday morning to a man named Con. Council, engaged in constructing the stone cross-walk in front of the City Hall, Augusta. Mr. Connell, who is about fifty years of ago, was endeavoring to move one of the large blocks of stone into position, and was prizing it forward withal) iron crow? bar, when the crow-bar slipped, and the stone toppled over, falling against Mr. Ccnncl!, striking him down and crush? ing his right leg, near the ankle, a piece of bone protruding through the flesh, making an ugly and painful wound. The bones of the leg were crushed into splinters by the rock. It is hoped there will be no necessity for amputation. Death ok Mas. John Bkatton. ?Mrs. Elizabeth P. Bmtton, wife of Gen. John Bratton and daughter of the late Theo? dore DuBoso, Esq., departed this lite, at the age of thirty-seven years, on the 23d of June, at the residence of Mr. Edward Ne>blo, in Abbeville. In the deceased, to loveliness of person were added the charms of a true Christian character, and in her daily walk, as maiden, wife and mother, she endeared herself to all w ho knew her. She had been an invalid for several years, and her death was not un? expected. Fir.e on CosiB.vnEE.?On Thursday morning of last week the steam rice mill on Col. Izard's plantation on Combnhee River was totnlly destroyed by fire. The mill had not been used for the last five months, so it must undoubtedly have been the work of an incendiary. The Colonel says he hns had no difficulty with any one on his plantation or vicin? ity, so that he is unable to suspect any one. The loss was about $11,Odd, in? sured for $7,000. Perry A Slawson's Havana Tips. A Tribute to Departed Worth.?The late C. Werner, who was widely known as one of the finest artists in ornamental iron work in the South, at his death left a handsome iron monument, the work of his own hands, to be erected over his grave. It is understood that Mr. Werner died in reduced circumstances, finan? cially, and a number of his friends pro? pose to take the matter in baud and raise a subscription for the purpose of erect? ing the monument, and also for the re? lief of his family. Eli G. Grimes, immediately after the trial of C. C. Bowon for instigating the murder of Col. White, was arrested on the charge of murdering a colored sailor in 1S63. We arc informed that it is a i trumped-up charge, prompted by a spirit of revenge, ami we, therefore, expect his speedy release. The temperance people promi.se to make politics quite lively this season. I and they are taking the field early enough i to get themselves in good working order I before the campaign fairly opens. They ' h ive nominated a State ticket in New York, and it appears to be a ticket of some strength. Big bull tight at Madrid, the other day. for charitable purposes. Three men and several horses killed. "A little more bull," roared the ladies and gentlemen, as they reluctantly left the bull-pit for i home'. j The ItppuhHt/ne Frtnuvtlst (newspaper"! announces that it will contribute 1,000 j francs to a fund for the purpose of sending delegates to the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. The London Sun says it has undoubted authority for stating that, after repeated conferences, Mr. Gladstone has promised to resume the leadership of the liberal party next year. Perry A Slawson's Havana Tips. Newton, the murderer of Mrs. Keech. says that the former wife of Keech of? fered him $15,000 to commit the deed, and he thinks she ought to swing with him.
