When the company arrived io Georgetown Monday night the situation was not as serious as it bad been, and the riotous negroes were already dispersing. Within an hour after tbe company arrived and went on duty the town was perfectly quiet and the Degroes, who had been threatening to kill tbe white people aod burn the town, bad left tbe town and gone to their homes in lbs surborbs and adjacent country. Tbe company was quartared in the armory and were well provided with blankets, food and refreshments of various kind Maror Morgan and tbe citizens of the town were ns attentive as possinle and saw that the com? pany needed for nothing that they had the means of providing. Capt Wilson and bis men are naturally glad that the threatened cocflict was averted and that the trouble was so easily settled, but tbey went to Georgetown to perform their foll duty, no matter what tbat might have been or bow dangerous, and they are ready to respond to the next call as prompt?y as they did to ibis.

Our Soldiers at Georgetown. Under this heading tbe Nexs and Courier of the 4th pays a well deserved compliment to the soldiers of Cbarlestoo, but not one word does it say cf the gallant Sumter Light Infantry To read ibis editorial OEe would suppose that the only soldiers at Georgetown were the Cbarlestoo troops. Well, we sup? pose it is all right, the News and Courier i* a Charleston paper and oot a State paper. "Ocr country cousins" are good enough to sucscribe to tbe exposition, to attend gala week and anything else to help Charleston , but no praise ie shown a gallant command like Capt. Wilson's, who was on the scene boors before tbe Charleston troops arrived and remained, by order of tbe mayor, on the scene of action 16 hours after the Charleston troops left Hoare Guard.
