Quite a crowd was in attendance at the depot yesterday, to witness the departure of the Sumter Light Infantry for Yorktown. At j a little after 9 A. M. the column was formed : in front of their armory, and headed by a ! brass band, made their way to the depot, fa? llowed by a couple Of hundred citizens, little I negro boys predominating in number. The I special train" which was due at ten, arrived j about an hour late, und to an outsider seemed ! io be already crowded. Numerous heads protruded from thc windows, and the inmates seemed to be already welUheated. Coats and hats had been laid aside, and packages, par? cels, bags and knapsacks were swinging from every hook within the coaches. We did not see how other seats could be procured, but, disregarding this, the Sumter boys were marched in and stored away in sardine style. A cry for musicroused the band, and thc train moved off under the sound of martial music. We turned away with the multitude, as the cars rolled out of sight, and said inwardly, ''sic transit, ?'c,'? This parade and martialing, the yells of thc soldiers, and their guns and uniforms, made us, think strongly of those happy days in '61, when the flower and pride of the South went forth to war-went out on a returnless errand. Ab ! those were days ! How the plumes waved and the horses neighed, and the air was re? echoing with loud huzzas. And then those flags? Fair women toiled over them, and worked them with silk, and the proud palmet? to tree was there, all unfurled tc the winds of beaven-unfurled to be riddled by bullets, or I to be torn into threads to staunch the gushing wounds of the boys who fell along the lines of gray. But they went forth, and there were partings, such as tear the hearts of those who part. But they have never returned. A whole land is hallowed by their death-the mighty South is their vast mausoleum. Oth? ers now have arisen, and the martial suit is 1 donned again. God forbid that the suits of grayshall ever again be stained with blood in fratricidal strife. - ? ? ??? - Yorktown Detachment S. Ii. I The following is the Detachment of the ?

The wretched assassin, Guiteau, was arraign? ed for trial iast Friday, Oct. 14th, in Washing : ton City, when argument on the question of ( jurisdiction of the case was set for October ; j 30th, and the trial for November 7th. The j delays and uncertainties are hereby duly illus . i trated. Guiteau confesses the crime, although . he pleads not guilty to the indictment, and . yet it may be a hard matter to hang him, , after all. The insanity dodge is tobe played. Giteau's counsel will plead the insanity of the prisoner; that the wound of President I Garfield was not necessari'y mortal, and that j death resulted from malpractice. From Lynchburg. On October 6th, 1861, Mr. Middleton D. Nettles, while riding near his home, in Sum? ter County, fell from his horse and died in? stantly. It is supposed he died from heart disease, as he had previously suffered from that cause. Many relatives and friends are I left to mourn his loss, but their grief is min fc j gled with joy because they '"sorrow not even j as others which have no hope." He had re s I cently united with the Bethel Baptist Church, s (on Lynches Creek,) and had begun to adorn j his profession of Christ with a godly life. _ j Mr. Nettles was only twenty-five years of T ; age, and his friends are tempted to regret J that he should have been snatched away I almost at the beginning of what promised to j bea useful life, But God had more use for a I bim in Heaven than on Eartb. and who dares : to complain that He should exercise His will? e i We are pained to learn, also, that the father e j of the deceased, Capt W. J. Nettles, is qui'e ill from the effects of a fall received cu the j same'dav of the death of his son. j ANONYMOUS.

IL COOPER, Foreman, A Terrible Lynching. Jack Williams, a uegro who was convicted at Oiangebnrg, on Saturday, the Stli, of com? mitting an outrage upon Lizzie fi uglies, a little white girl, aged ll years, was taken from the jail about 2 o'clock on the morning of the 13th and hanged. The jury which con? victed the negro through a misunderstanding of the law, rendered a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to mercy. Under the statute such a recommendation reduces the punishment from death to life imprisonment in the peni? tentiary, and the prisoner was sentenced ac? cordingly. The public were much incensed against the jury for the verdict and determin? ed that the prisoner should never reach the penitentiary. The crime, which was revolt? ing in its details, was clearly proved and the prisoner confessed his guilt daring his last moments. The following was found printed in large letters on a piece of white homespun fastened across the breast of Williams' body t!Our wives, mothers, sisters and daughters shall be protected-the decision of an Orangeburg jury to the coutrary notwith? standing." David Davis of Illinois was on the 13th elected temporary President of the Senate, supplanting Mr. Bayard, whom the Demo? crats elected on Monday, Mr. Davis was chosen by theRepublicaos, although he goes entirely oe his own hook in politics, ofteuer votes ..tb0" wi'li then. arid, nev? er qualifies his opinion that the welfare of the country demands that the Republican party should be turned out of power and broken to pieces. However, the Republicans do not like Mr, Bayard ; and Mr. Davis was the only man whom they could get into the place. So they took hi.n perforce. No doubt he will make a satisfactory presiding officer. His election may ne condemned by some Republican jour? nals and by some Democrats ; but we see nothing to be sorry about concerning it. The Republican Senators had a perfect right to elect him. and he has a perfect right to take the place : and this right is not affected by the fact that, except, under the present pecu? liar circumstances, be could not possibly have been elected to it at all.
