LUGAN, Air some time past, has not be:tn con. neeted with the Banner, havinig refuised to remain in the ofliceo while it was under the management of CiAIEs N. 1lor.cosm , the Northern scoundrel, wh() lately palmed himself off upon us and then absconded with several' small sums which had been thoughtlessly paid, by some of our patrons, into his hands. ,We make this announcement as a gnarantee to subscribers, that the pa. per, which we learn from numerous sources, has been very irregularly received by many, during his (1.101 'comb's) foremanship, will hereafter ,be conducted in a more satisfactory manner by our former foreman, from whom we were always sorry to have parted. Regretted Death. A.g.loom has been- thrown over -our c in'iurty 'by th'e death of one, who had, by her nianifold estimable quali ties, endeared herself, in a remarkable ninner, to a numerous circle of rela. tives and friends. M's.SUSAN IIAYNS WORTn, the consort of our esteemed co-editor is no more. After a painful Illness of eight weeks, she calmly and without a struggle yielded up her spir. it into the hands of God. .This is truly a sad event, when we think of the bet-eaved, and espqeially of him to whom she was endeared by a thousitnd tender ties. TIhmough~ young in years, dhe had early "chos en that good part which could not be taken from her." "Is liat a death-bied where a Charistnin lies? Yes, but not his; 'tis Death itself that dies." If the sympjathmy of friends cotuld avail any thing in a greait aflictioni Jike this, we feel confident that, thtey were never, in any case, more heartily rendered. The G ior. 'We leairn from our city exchanges that, on the 8th inst., the Irishimn engaged at work on the Northeastern, Rlailroad, near Char e~stonl, positiv~ely refused to work or to let a bodly of' Germans proceed in their work ulelss thmeir wages were raised. A riot, ei stied and the city atuthorities were called upon to enterfere, and were themselves resisted by the Irishmen tintit a dispatch was sent to- the Gove nor and tl}&Militard~ ordered out, who stcceeded in 'quelling the fuss, andI fft~ting- some t venty-four out of the thirty-'two pmcreeded against. Trhe bibers had irinde off with themselves. - he 'Courier in coimtnen~ing upon the-affair says : "With the question of wvages be tween these men .and thme Razilroad confrae'tirs,- we-have nothing to do. Jf[they were dissti~sfied, they had a ahth~to complain, amnd to leave their *brk.' But they prpbeeded to force ethpr parties to quit their work, and finally defied, insulted and threatened tehb litwig1 authorties'. It was this l- tt and this alone, which justified adenforced the employ ment, of the . ality, and which thi'aetened to be. a precedlent of violence and defance of law, which gavo it importance. We know of 'riots here .almost nothing, and this one has naturally exqikd: great feeling." - 'Iiiist'ho fir~tnd wve hopo it may 17e 1 lat, itstance ,of the 'kind in 8outhi, Carolina. \yliileowe hope these men have been be obeyed, we (anit not ref-nin fitrn hopiig too that the Railroad authori ties.will not go unwhipped of ,bat sensure which they deserve for intro ducing such laborers into our country. We endorse the . Times in saying They are not needed here. We have plenty of labor of' our own, whieh can be easily controlled, wit hout resort to the military of the State. It is only ieces-ary to command, anl our slaves cticerfully and promptly obey' the cominumand." We rejoice to see industrious white rnechianics Coming aiong us5, colie whence they may. They should be welcomed and honored. They con stitute not a little of the strength of' any community inl which they are to be found. But as regards mere day haborers, the place of' such in the Southern States is best filled with At rican shives.

On'Friday Isi, the inforimation of " fire in the woods " first reached uts, when it was discovered that it was rapidly extend ing itself towards our village from the North. For a time it was. thought Ihat the village was in considerable danger, o% inig to the high . wind, which blew a perfect gale from tlidct dirdction,' but through the exertions of a number of citi. zens, who went out, the danger was averted from us. The fire spread rapidly, however, far and wide throughout the country, destroying a great deal of prop erty and doing a great dcni of injuryto qur farncers. A grbat iiny of 1-hemn have lost nore or less of .t heir fenecmg, some their iarns anut stables. aid. in a few in staices their dwelling houses. Mr. G. W.

The irne Indians returned tihe next day and killed one mnantad wounded. another, opposite the mouth :'or the St, Charles, and within half a mil of the Fort; and that night they run oir near one hundred head of aninials belonging to the Fort. Mr. Atwood was at tliet. Charles, On his way irom Silt Like City to Taos, when thie maseacre took place, and hal f an hour afterwards was at the Pueblo. He describes the scene as heart rending in the extreme. .Tie victims were lying as they fell, sirilppedi and the 'w.rm btood was still'rumniirg from their wounds. The two wounded men he net on Ihe road, craw hing towards tie Fort, one died on tire road, but tire other reiched there, and was shy when Mr. Atwood left. For the Suiter Banner. ile Riot. Afessrs. Editors: You have seen in tire papers, some a.:counts of a riotl which took place ont tire Neirth Easterni Rail Road. I hari pened'to be'present, inl ColImbia. at tihe tiie application was rMa c to Governior Adams for all exercise of his authority inl quellinig this petty rebellion. It seems that some Germian laborers had landed in Charleston, and tire Irish who were already on tire Nort EasTertn Road,' show 2d soni viilent manifestations towards their newly arrived rivIls for work. The Irish were prevented from aiy violenrce at the tiie, but merely desisted for tire time declaring what they would do whein they go) their Sivals oi the road. Accordingly to prevent the Get tmais,. by rtifice, from utking part, in the wor which tiey wished to monopolize, they proteided to strike for wages, frmiiing their for. ces upoll a lile oftire rail road rdiisiingr to work themselves ori, to allow any (ne else to do so. Ill this state of al lairs the Attorney Genieal. Col. Isaac W. Ilayne, issued a warranit fir tire imiost uniruly of tlh 'se w hose names ie couid get; and senit. with tire Sheriff, an Irish and a German Constab .e, and also a Catihlic priest, with the iope t.lhat they might bo itilrmied as to tire conisequences of their conduct and yield to the authority of law. But the rebellionists refused to be arrested. . At that that tige of tire disorderly conduct, C0. Ilayne, who had left Ciarleston in the ieaniwhile, was telegri apfred to, that, lie irght, preseint tmatter to tihe Goveinor. He did so; and the Gover ior very promptly despatched orders to Maj. General Sehnierie to call out cite Company of' Rillemen, one of Dragoois, and, if necessary, a Company of lIfanrtry and Flying Artilery. .From thle nie wspa. per rep rts I see that n wellty -furr of tire rioters were arrested. I ami very siry to see manifiesta. tions of this kind, upion'c tUe part of tire lawle!s multitude, ini South Uulina ; and very happy to see a prompt dis positioi to quell such iutrages. If the Jaws of South Carolina are not sufli cient to red ress tire wrongs fto'.se wio seek citizeinship with u<, it were flar be'tter they s'huht l1 se'k lroitection elewhere iati that they sithould take their cause iito their own haiids. too the disturiances of tire publi peac - a d .good order.
