We received on yesterday an interesting
special dispatch from Borne, and placed it on
n desk for editing. Last sight it had disap
peared, and the most careful search failed to
discover whether it had gone.
We have received a number of communica
tions on the subject of the Western Bailroad
and Great Western Canal, all of which we
propose publishing very soon.
We publish, this morning, an interesting
letter from Savannah. Its publication before
has been delayed by reason of a press of other
matter, but its contents will be found well
worthy of perusal. Farrow and Erskine seem
determined to carry out the infamous policy
inaugurated by them, anil, at every hazard,
to convict the unfortunate men they have suc
ceeded in getting indicted. There is scarcely
any use in protesting now against the outrage
described by oar correspondent After awhile
the terrible apathy of our people will end, and
then the wrongs of which we justly complain
may find a termination.
We are in receipt of information that the
I'nited States Court of Claims has decided
that the cotton tax law, under which some
eighty-eight millions of dollars were collect
ed, was unconstitutional It appears that a
Mr. Berg, instead of petitioning Congress to
refund the tsx paid by him, brought suit in
the Court ot Claims for its recovery, employ
ing eminent counsel, among whom was the
present able Ordinary of Chatham county.
This gentleman a few days ago received a
private letter which announced that the court
was against the constitutionality of the law,
but its decision has not yet, we believe, been
officially promulgated. To a very large num
ber of our readers this intelligence will be
most gratifying, as it will enable them to re
cover the money illegally wrung from them at
a time when they were most in need of free
dom from taxation.
A Bridegroom’s Taking Off.
A YOUNG GENTLEMAN IN PHILADELPHIA SHOOTS
HrMHELP THBOUGH THE HEART ON
HIS WEDDING DAT.
From Tbe Press, May 1.
Our cily was shocked yesterday by the re
port that a well known citizen had suddenly
riided his existence by shooting himself
throngh the heart with a Smith A Wesson re
volver. The suicide was Mr ltichard Dale
Pettit, a son of the late Hon. William M. Pet
tit, and a nephew of Richard Pettit, Esq.,
naval paymaster for this station. The sad
affair took place at 248 Sooth Eighth street,
where the deceased had been boarding for
some years.
The unfortunate man was in company with
friends nntil nearly 12 o’clock on Tuesday
night, and appeared to be in the best of
’nepirits. He spoke of his excellent prospects
for the futnre, and alluded excitingly to his
approaching
MARRIAGE
with Miss Rebecca Staley, a most estimable
lady, daughter of the late Andrew Staley, the
well-known brewer, and a niece of the late
Dr. Robert C'aldclengh, a wealthy physician,
who resided for many years on Chestnut st,
below Fifteenth. Dr. C&ldcleugh died some
months since, and by his will left quite a
large fortune to Miss Staley. It seems that
Mr. Pettit had been engaged to be married
to Miss Staley for the past thirteen years,
the delay having been caused by a desire
on the part of the lady to wait until
both could secure fortunes sufficient
when joined, to insure a competence, ease
and enjoyment for the rest of their natural
lives. The bright and hopeful picture was
utterly obliterated yesterday morning by the
terrible act of which we have spoken. The
nuptials were to have been celebrated at noon
iu St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, on Locust
street, above Sixteenth. The announcement
was made sometime since to the relatives and
immediate friends on both sides, and exten
sive preparations had been going on to make
the ceremonies as imposing as possible.
Rridesmaids and groomsmen were selected;
dressmakers of extreme taste engaged to lend
their aid to the occasion; joyous were the
hearts of all who were to participate in the
festivities, and the success of every undertak
ing toward the long-1 ooked-for event assured
those interested that their hopes wotrid be re
alized to the fullest extent

manifestoes urging the people to demand an immedi
ate proclamation of the Federal Republic, for the
abolition of capital punishment, and the abolition of

and State.
General Contreras was then requested by the Fede

ment bonds to take money for three to four months
at seven. Government bonds strong, with rise in
gold and with ease in the money market; foreign
banks strong. The most noticeable buyers that do
business in Southern State bonda

was started on the street, that Oakes Ames was dead
and the Union Pacific declined one per cent. The ru
mor proved untrue.

LOUISIANA.
Tbe wedding at St. Mark's Church was tbe
tbeme of gossip among those who make np
its audiences at such times, and atter break
fast this morning man; a maiden as well aa
matron repaired to her chamber to prepare
her toilet, not expecting so soon to receive
the startling intelligence that the handsome
bridegroom had pnt an end to his own life.
The news was broken to the bride in a deli
cate manner, from whom there was no res
ponse, but a look of woe not bearing descrip
tion. She retired at once to her chamber,
where she remains shut in with her own grief.
What makes this affair additional); sad is
that the bride and groom had laid out plans
tor a wedding tour to Europe, and had en
gaged passage in a vessel pl;ing between New
York and Liverpooh
It appears that tbe deceased retired about
midnight, and nothing was heard of him
again nntil seven o'clock ;esterda; morning,
when the household was startled b; the re
port of a pist. I shot A boarder, Mr. Thom
as Hall, proceeded to Mr. Pettit's chamber,
and there fonnd bis lifeless corpse stretched
upon the floor. He summoned tbe people of
the bonse, and physicians were called in, but
all efforts to perceive the slightest sign of life
were ineffectual. I was fonnd that the ball
had entered tbe heart and caused instant
ileath. There were no signs of any pram edi-
talion in the act The deceased was only
partly dressed, and had taken the pistol from
a bureau drawer, while apparently arranging
his toilet. It seems to have been an net com
mitted on tba spar of tbe moment, without
previous intent Those who were with him
on Tuesday night state that he drank only
ale and beer, and was mostly engaged in con
versation touching his projected
WEDDING TOCS TO ICfcOPE,
.peaking of his forthcoming wedding with all
of that enthusiasm which nsnally character
izea a person on the evaaf a happy matrimo
nial alliance. Several persons presented him
with letters of introduction to prominent per
sonages in London and other cities, all of
which he took thankfully and promised to
use.
The deeeased was an impulsive man, bnt
kindly in his disposition. He was about thir
ty-six years of age, of Anglican mould in
lorm and features, and was not engaged in
any business at tho time of his death. He
bed studied tbe profession of medicine some
years since, but had naver practiced the heal
ing art
bonse of the deceased gentleman's friends
ascribe the rash act to insanity, a theory
which is borne out by the fact that ha had
stated to several parties that ha was going to
Vienna as a correspondent of the Press and
Ledger.
Collision between the Metropolitans and Dr.
Blanche’s Forces.
New Ibkhia, May C, 1873.

Blanche's forces near 8t. Martinsville, and were re
pulsed—loss three killed and two wounded.

stated the Metropolitans will be driven back to St
Martinsville.
Later advices from 8t. Martinsville report the posi
tion of the Metropolitans precarious, and may at any
moment be overpowered by the tax resisters. The
people of thie section seem determined to pay
taxes to the Kellogg Government unless compelled kv
troops.

A conference between the leaders of the contending
forces was held yesterday. The Metropolitans wanted
to know which of the officers they were about to
stall were objectionable to the people, and what they
wanted. The resistors replied, the men wer
factory if commissioned by Governor McEncry; that
the citizens only wanted tho Metropolitans to
leave the town and not interfere with their local af

nousc, it is desirable to redress irregularities in the
distribution of political power in tho United King
dom. He complains that legitimate influence, in large
and important towns, was swamped by small buroughs,
in which a single individual asks paramount
over constituency. He pointed ont existing anomalies
in representation, and declared that the time of tinker
ing had gone by, and complete and thorough revision
tho only remedy. Mr. Anderson, member for Glas
gow,seconded the motion, and he showed that England
was entitled to 490 instead of 493 members of Parlia
ment; Ireland to have 89 instead of 105, and Scotland
76 instead ef GO. There wore 8 on tho constituency,
with an aggregate of 1840 voters, which bad the same
representatives as 8 others with 239,000 voters. It
impossible to delay the redistrictlon much
longer.

guano at the same time. In corn planted In six feet rows, one round cleared the row, and left the land in splen
did order, which would have required five furrows with a single plow, thus saving over one-half the labor, and
doing the werk equally aa well, if not better. Cotton rows from three to three and a half feet, were cleared at
one furrow, which would have required two furrows with any other plow. As a cultivator it surpasses any
thing we over saw, and for bedding lands after being broken, it cannot be surpassed, as it does the work of
three men and mules. We cheerfully give It our fullest endorsement and recommendation, as the greatest la
bor-saving agricultural implement that has ever been on our farniB, or in this country. The draff of the plough
is as light as s Dixon Sweep on a single stock—a medium mule carrying it with cose.

The M Brinley Plough” 1s adapted splendidly for bedding cottou or corn land, and for the cultivation of field
crops. I have made many ploughs, and understand what ploughs should do, and unhesitatingly say that the
“ Shaft Plow ” will do all that is claimed for It as a cultivator, Baving the labor of two men and mules.
JAS. M. BARFIELD.
GTiTFFtx, Ga., April 8,1873.
Mb. A. M. Speights—Dear Sir: We witnessed the working of your “ BRIXLKk’B SHAFT PLOW,” on the
land of 8. B. Burr, this day, and do not hesitate to say that it is good for all claimed for it. It broke and bed
ded cottou land as well. If not better, than one horse and hand could do, making a complete bed at one haul.
It ia equal to three hands and three mules, and is easily worked by one mnle or one horse. We consider it a
great labor-saver, and unhesitatingly recommend it, ned will ut-e it ourselves an n<*on as they can be proc ?red.

W. F. Roberts, of Grahamville, 8. C., says: •* No other Thill or Shaft Plough is anywhere by tho tide of

delighted with it.”
W. G. Gibbs, Colnmbis, S. C., says: “The Shaft Plough liss been worked with perfect success and satisfac
tion. I am delighted with it.”
W. A. Walters, Simpsonville, Ky., says: “ Works admirably—cleans out a row of corn at one sweep—easily
managed—runB as steadily as a breaking plough—will do twice the work of a double shovel and do it better.”
A. 0. Jackson, Greensboro, Ga., says: “ I find your Shaft Plow the perfection of covcrers for corn and cot
ton.”
J. H. Nichols, Kacooche, Ga., says: “The Brinley Shaft Plow, for the purpose for which it is designed, ex
cels anything I have seen used.” One of his hands says; “I would as soon plough with this plengh aa to
play.”
R. H. George, Simpsonville Ky., says: “ Excels anything I have ever seen—puts the ground in fine condi
tion—can be used from tbe time tho corn is up untd it is full grown—more easily L.. . ;!ed than any other
plow.”

Dear Sir—In reply to your inquiry, I would
stnte that my opinion of FKTER8' EUREKA
TANNING PROCESS may be inferred from
tho fact that I am now wearing a pair of
boots, the loatber of which was tanned by
that process before the same waa perfeetod
and a patent obtained; that the said boots
have now been in wear for the period of three
years—are the most pliable and easy to the
feet of any boot I ever wore, and aro in n
good stato of preservation yet.

The undersigned take pleasure in affirming
their knowledge of the facts, and the Until ol
