Per Bbveral nights it is said that consta bles havo been watching tho roads in tho neighborhood of tho God- lea farm live miles above town. Last night as Pottigrew, Toland, Uyars aud Stevens weie on guard on a road leading from theOeddes gin home cut through the - Low and High neighborhood, just in front of Lang Waddle's huuse, they discovered a wagon. They approached aud two of them caught the bridle of tho mules and ordered a halt and summier. Some one in the wagon said that they would surrender and they made no resistance. The constables report that some one tired on them. The shot either came from the inside of the wagou or from the rear. The firing then became general. After it ceased it was ascertained that Jack Fisher was io?t?ntl; killed, tin top of his head being shot < IT. The ball entorod near one ear. William Durham was mortally wounded and diod about daylight. Ne:ther ono < f those men attempted to dismount from the wagon. If either one firt d H w>.t? not more than ono time. | They had a douldc barrel shot | gun, a sixteen shooter and one pistol in the wagon. None < f tbest had been tired. Whether they hau I more guns or not we have not heard. It is said that there were t*o men on I horseback that shot the cm stables Pettigrew, who is from Charleston, whp severely wounded. Ho is at Waddle's hoUBe and can not be moved The chances are against his recovery. To land received a wound in tho breast, but it is not supposed to be very so vere. B3 ars and Stevens were not hurt. Both mules were wounded. Some one who examined the wagou cloth said that thcro were about fifty bullet holes through it. There were two barrels of whiskey in the wagon. Too United States depu ties went up after that this morning Another Account of It Tho four constables were R A. Pct tigrow, B. A. Toland, J. H. Brice and J. B. Stephen:on. They lelt ht re mounted about 10 o'clock last night, having received information that a wagon load of whiskey was coming down. They .arrived in the neighbor hood of Waddoll's house about 11 o'clock and waited along the road. About 1 o'clock a wagon came slowly along ? an ordinaly covered mountain wagou with two mulct-. Where the road runs betwien two cotton patches at a point about 100 feet above Waddell's house, which in on tho right hand side ot the road coin ing down, the constables intercepted tho wagt n ami ordtrtd a halt. It was very daik us it had been raining a short tifhe bt fore Three of the con stables wtru on horseback, Pettigrew, who was i n foot, caught tho bridle of one of the mules as the order to halt was given. Strphenson was in coin mand of the party. The constables fay as the order to bait was given a idiot wan tired from the rear of the wagon. Waddell, who wan up with a Bick child and was l"?okin?r from his window, fays he saw tho IliBhof a shot from the right or tear of the wagon. A general fusilade seems to have tx en begun immediately. The muli s swerved violently but did not ovcrtnrn the wsgon and were cheeked. William,Durham and Jack Fisher wore found dead in tho wagon. When I reached Waddell's Iioubq this morn ing thoir bodus were lying outside, carefully covered, and the doctors were at work making the post mortem examinations. Durham was shot three time*, once under the left arm, once in the right log, tho ball passing out on the It ft side of his stom ach, once in the left knee, the ball passing out at tho loft side of tho hip. These bullets all ranged up ward, indicating that Durham was I v in down or hAd fallen on his back v h? n ho was shot. Fihiwr'ft body was a fearful?sight Ho was shot almost to pieces. Tho left side ofhis bead was literally torn away by a loid of buckshot and bullets had * ruck him in tho rieht broast, tight knop, neck and left hnnri. Pettigrew was shot in the lett hrca**, tho ball passing out under tho b it ?boulder blade His chances for life are very small. When I saw bun he was evidently extremely weak. To land's wound is in the right breast and the bullet emerged at the left shoulder. H ith muh h w re shot, one in the right hip, the other in the right side of the stomach. There must have been twenty-five or thirty shots fired. Six teen buckshot holes and six made by pistol or rifle balls were counted in tho wagou cover this m< ruing. There Ha mystery ?? to who fired tho fltst *bot and how the constables were hurt. The weapons in the wagon with Durham and Fisher had not been tired. A horte strange in the neighborhood was found avtrtdleri and bridled tb'a moinlug near a patch of woods a hun dred yards aborts the place where the shooting occurred and an overcoat was also found.

It is possible that the hnrso and overcoat belonged to tome man who bad met Durham and Fieber in the woods to receive whiskey as they are said to have beeeo in the habit ol delivering it in that neighborhood. Two barrels and a keg of whiskey were found in the wagon. There was I a groat pool of blood at the point where tho shooting occurred. The I??t?at from Hii.trtamhura;.

With tho exception of Governor, the office of Secrotary of Stale is the hi; l paying in tho gift of tho convention and there was a warm rivalry between the fourcandidatos Jor tho nominal lorn Henry y. Halo, the present luoumbent, John W. Hoadloy, J. Stoddard Johnsnu and C. W. Metcallo wore tho cand - dates. Each had a largo following and four ballots wore taken 6. fore there was any result. During the grogl'OSS of the third ballot, C. P, Taylor, of Mason County, rushed down tho central aisle and denounced Chairman A. S. B?rry for alloged unfairness, winding up with u round of cursing. Tbis was the boginnlng of a scene of wild dborder. Every dolegato was on his feet anil crowding tho platform where the chairman sat, and shoving their way through'were Hale and Hundley, twool tho contestants. Both men leaped upon the stage and a dozen others followed and for a while lists were shaken and threats made on every side. Partial order was finally restored by the. chair man agreeing to have another eall of tho roll for a fourth bad lot b. fore allowing counties to change their votes. Halo was nominated.

Tho only new thing recoin monded was that tho State central committee consist of 14 men hereafter instead of ono from each of the 11 < 'on grossional districts as heretofore. Of tho three now mou the chairman will bo one, and tho other two will bo nominated by the committee at each convention. Tho couvontlon was in continuous session from O.UO until 7:30 p. in., and i then adjourned eine die. Sandwiches and icinonado wore brought iu place of dinner. In tho last hours of the convention, soino would-ho humorous resolutions were presented, among thorn tho fol lowing : Resolved, That tho convention adopt tho rooster or chicken cook as tho em blem or dovloo of tho Democratic (tarty for use at elections. Loud shouts t.f approval greeted this resolution and it was passed by unanimous voto. Gon. P. Watt Hardin, tho Demo cratic noinineo for Governor, came into tho convention hall this morning. Gen. Hardin was asked when ho ex pected to open his campaign. "I have not hod time as yot," ho replied. "I don't know when or where 1 will open tho canvass.

For a time it looked as though the lire would be gotteu under control.

A Kl.isLK. 1'iiim tho Southern ("IiristIan Advoeuto. Let us go back to July 4, lsv'ti, nearly seventy years ago. A weekly newspaper, dated July 8, 1820, tells us how the "fiftieth anniversary of our independence" was spent in Charleston, S. O. The dawn was ushered in by u national salute from an artillery battalion. A little after I G o'clock, den. Geddes' brigade was I reviewed on Meeting street by Major General Youngbtood. The brigade then inarched to the flattery, and greeted thP day with an artillery salute. Being uguin reviewed by the major-general, on their return to Meeting street, they were dismissed by half-past 7 o'clock. - Between 11 und 12 o'clock, the Cincinnati and Revolution societies walked in procession to St. Phillip's Church, where, after the perform ance of divine service, an oration was delivered by Thomas Cladsden, Esq. At the same hour, " "HQ Anno- \ ciation " went in procession to St. Miclmcrs Church, where, after the usual services of the day, the Decla ration of Independence was read to u crowded audience, by Samuel C I Barker, Esq., and an oration pro I noil need by Jacob Axton, Esq. The I Declaration of Independence was I also read before the Kriendshin Lit erary Society by Mr. Augustus E. Cohen, and an oration delivered by Mr. E. Smith Duryeu. The Inde pendent Greens and Charleston Killemcn, heard an orutiou at tlie Qcrman Lutheran Church, which was delivered by John T. Richard son, .Jr., E8<|., und the Declaration was read by John B. Bloomticld. At 12 o'clock a salute was tired on board I the revenue schooner, Uallatin, at anchor off the battery, and at 1 o'clock the salute was repeated at Port Moni trie. Later, the several societies repair ed to their respective halls where dinner was prepared for the nieni j hers and their guests. The " Peo ple's Dinner" was served at the Centre Market Place. A blessing was invoked by Bishop England. A large number of Revolutionary Vet erans had places of honor assigned them, giving special dignity to tlie occasion. Twenty-two of the oldest were found to average seventy-one years. One of these, Mr. Cardner, was ninety-one, having served through the whole war, was at the battle of Hunker Hill, and was with Commodore Paul Jones in the Alli ance frigate. Tlie several societies sent committees of congratulation to each other. Kings of shipping in port were displayed at half-mast through the day, and a handsome display of lire-works ttt night closed the memorable day. The next issue of the weekly paper told the singular death of Thomas JeffersOn, on tlie "1th," at the hour on which fifty years before, he had signed the famous Declaration. And the sanie paper, a week still later, told that John Adnins had passed away later in the afternoon of the same day. (Five years later, ex President James Monroe died. July 4, 1831.) At that lime the smaller cities, towns und villages celebrated the day1 with all possible enthusiasm. Bands of music paraded the streets at. daylight The bells of tlie town were ordered to " ring a merry peal " before sunrise. School children and servants had holiday. About 10 o'clock' a public procession was formed of tlie military companies, citizens, ministers, survivors, &c, and all marched to the most eligible church building in town, where a platform was usually prepared in Thousands ol Women! surrnu ?NTOLO aiishrii-s. 5 BRADFIELD'S FE: f\AL.E \ , REGULATOR, \ ACTS AS A SPEC4FIC \ 8!! / Arousing to Healthy Action nil her Organs.} It. finises health t<> bloom, noill 1 jnv b> voljrn throughout the frame, j ...

After prayer and a national anthem, some young man would read lite Declaration of Independence. The children of thut day, and for twenty years later, almost knew the *f Declaration *' by heart, from hearing it read yearly under circumstances so likely to impress young hearts and memories. Then followed the oration, usually by some young graduate or lawyer, selected perhaps a year before. A public dinner or barbecue usually followed, where toast?, speeches, music and general good fellow-feel ing, marked the closing hours of the day. Of course, our national vice of excess in drink too often marred the festivities of the day. Several causes united to lessen the popular interest in these celebrations before the middle of the century. The sen timent and rhetoric of tho "ora tions" were in danger of becoming stale?not deliberately insincere, but extravagant, second-hand, conven tional. And, unfortunately, sec tional feelings became strong. Love for the Union declined, and even hatred of it became more common, with partisans, hofh North and South. At a convention held in I Columbia, in 18:5:5, an eloquent ami honest Disuniouist defied any one to lay his hand on his heart and say lip loved the Union. 'Che venerable Samuel Warren, for many years president of our State Senate, rose with the help of his crutches and said he could lay his hand on his heart ami say he loved the Union. for winch he hud fought.

So the end is reached the special means employed may he a matter of indifference, We live in a day of great assemblies, gatherings., conventions. Excursions to and fro are becoming common and cheap. Our mechanics and artists are not afraid of high things, or mighty problems. " I would rather shake a prejudice'than build a pyramid," said an English statesman two gene rations ago. Here is work worthy of the combined strength of North anil South, East and West, Church and State, man's mind and woman's heart, to shake our sectional preju dices ! Animals and Music A recent German writer, who is evidently both ft lover of animals and a musician, says "yes" to this question most emphatically. Wo give an abstract of vhut lie says, taken from Die Kittur, Halle, De cember !?: Of course animals have an ear for music! Look at the birds; doesn't the nightingale sing, and doesn't its mate know and recognize the song \* Of course there are some people who fail to recognize the fact. that, the notes of birds are true musical notes, but they arc so; in fact, the notes of the speaking human voice differ from musical tones only in their periodi city. As soon as this is understood, there ought In be no difficulty in acknowledging that 'singing-birds' really sing. Whoever will take the trouble to attend closely to a can ary bird's song may satisfy himself on this point. That such birds hear and recognize each other's songs is proved by the following observation of the German writer referred to abOVO. Uo had a canary that always bogall its song with a signal. An other bird of a different breed, being brought. Into the same room, lirsl sang its own song vigorously, but soon, learned and adopted the Signa), beginning its songs with it, just like the Other bird. Canaries, too, are often stimulated to song by music, for instance, that of a piano, espec ially when a piece having high notes is played. One . canary which was too young to sing was lirst urged to try his voice by hearing the Tann hauser overture played. Of Course, however, it is with song-birds us with men--they have not all equally good voices or equally good ears for music. The mountaineers of tier many, whose occupation it. is to tenon birds to whistle tunes, know this well. They distinguish adso several different varieties or types of song among finches and canaries, and, indeed, every bird has an individual ity in this mattery Nature has given each a certain local register and a certain sense of harmony, and this is nearly the same for eaeh variety of bird just as the national folk songs of a people always show* a marked individuality and a differ ence from those of other nations. Outside of the bird world, there is no power of song in the animal creation, but there is often a well developed musical ear. The horse and the camel are botli very suscep tible to music. The circus rider exercises his horse to the strains of the band; the camel is urged on or refreshed by the song of his Bed ouin rider during the long march through the desert. The musical must be the same in these animals as in man, though, of course, not so fully developed.? Translated und ('(indented for The Lit entry Digest.
