Fatal Accident.?On Sunday last, a boat containing four men left the light ship to intercopt the steamer Dictator, to procure papers. By some mismanagement the bout got under the guards of the steamer's wheel, three of the men jumped out; the other named John Symmons, remained and was carried under the paddle wheel indicting injuries from which he died ten minutes alter be wus picked up. An inquest was held on Monday morning by Dr. Johnson and the verdict wus in accordance with the above. The schooner Rebecca Florcnco. Captain ltichunU, arrived at Port lioyal on the 2(lth ult., from Nassau with a cargo of ;j?5 toiiH oi guano for G. T. Jackson & Co. Tlnis is the third schooner from lai 19 in Tngt~.~ii.nTw i rr > .. that port with t n -t s;u-. . which is taken from a cave n- ar the city ' of Nassau, and is being shipped here as an experiment.

"We are happy to be able to aaa mat tue tire is not attributed to an incendiary, but to the ignition of some matches by the gnawing of rats. Capt. Peoples has already made a fresh start on the premises of a neighbor. Judge Mackey ought certainly to be read out of the party. Inhis report of the trouble in Edgefield County, he uses the following bold language; No such iniquity a- the County government of Edgefield has been inflicted upon any portion of the English-speaking race since the Saxon wore the iron collar of the Nornaan. Tn that case, however, the har.-h domi lation was that of a superior civilization, which elevated while it hastened. In this it is the reverse. The Governor has since ordered the militia to disband and turn their guns in to the colonel of the regiment It is hoped now that peace and prosperity may reign in that turbulent county. lion N. B. Myers has resigned his seat in the Legislature to run for the senatorship. All good men will wish him success in his fight against the ring, as the choice of the old parly leaders is known to be Green. The Union Tlerald speaks of him as follows; "We should deeply regret the loss of Mr. Myers from the legislative councils at this time were it not that he intends to make the race for the senatorshin from his county, soon to be made vacant by Robert Smalls. Mr. Myers has been aD intelligent, watchful and industrious representative, and on more than one occasion ho hi>? earned the gratitude of hia constituents and the State by a bold opposition to bad measures. We wish him success in. his canvass." The Court of General Sessions, Feb term, Hon. J. J. Maher presiding convened Monday at 4 p. m. The Grand Jury was organized with Col. J. Glover as foreman. The case of the State vs. A. E. Owens for violation of the civil rights, was tried and the jury by direction of the Court brought in a verdict of not guilty. The State failed to establish the case against Owons, having been unable to prove that he had on the 1st day of November, 1873, a Tavern License?and therefore, was not liable under the section of the law covered by the indictment. In the afternoon the case of the State vs. Thomas Wright charged with murder, was taken up. We will give a full summary of the proceedings of the Court next week. Last Monday, fling. Watson, a teacher on Hilton Head, came to Beaufort with his certificate of pav* for two months, and presented it to the treasurer.
