Law, a youth of some twenty- four years of age, a son of one of our most revered citizens, the Hon. Wai. Law, was murdered in cold, blood, and without provo cation, on Monday night last, by a gang of negro ruffians. Young Law was, at the time of his cruel deqto, performing his duty as an’ honorable and gallant gentleman and a law-abiding citi zen, under authority from the proper civil officers, to prevent an outrage upon the laws ahd upon the peace of- the community: . - His murderers weieja mob -ocf black.Bav- ages, who, fully armed and intent upon the commission of any outrage which their brutal instinct might suggest, and which they might frnd themselves able to perpetrate, were marching in the darkness of the night upon ‘ the city of Savannah, where the women and children, and, in truth, the greater part of the population, had retired to rest. This is the picture presented by the facts of this most wanton assassination. There is nothing to palliate explain or ex cuse the hideousness of the crime. There is nothing more atrocious recorded in Baker’s or Speke’s narratives of the bloody cruelties of the wild" and barbarous riegro-cfiietBon the bank6 of the Nile—where the real negro nature is disclosed in its uncontrolled, and untamed ferocity. This painful tragedy contains more than - the elements of sorrow and grief, of which it • is so full. It is fraught with solemn and awful lessons which the white people, not only of the South, but of the whole country- are compelled to regard^ or else be blind to their duties and to their fete. No one desires to see a war of races inau gurated in this country, yet no sensible man can doubt what must be the issue of such a contest. No humane man wishes the extermination of the negro race, but if the negro race will rush upon his own doom; or be instigated by unprincipled whites to do so, and thus pre cipitate the catastrophe of his own annihila tion, the blood be upon his own head and upon the heads of those who mislead him. The white people of the South will not submit to have the lives and the honor of their sons and their daughters, and the secu rity of their honest possessions subjected to the lustful, murderous and rapacions propen sities of a barbarous and inferior race. This is no time to avoid, by dubious speech, the issues which are plainly presented to us by the events of the times. Let every man ponder them well, and be prepared to act in such a manner as shall become his own honor and dignity; and his responsibility to his country, his family and his race. We have unconsciously made ' the deplor able death of our young friend the theme of remarks more general than is nsnal upon each occasions; but we do not think them in appropriate or ill-timed. We cannot hot re gard him as a victim and a martyr to the scheme of producing a hostility of races which has, with such devilish subtlety, been inau gurated for party purposes in the South. To return, however, to the more immediate purpose of this notice, Samuel S. Law, the son of the Hon. Wm. Law and of Alethia Stabk Law was bom in Savannah, in January, , A U. 1845, rand was consequent ly in the 24th year of his age at the time of his death. At the banning of the war of Secession, in 1861, he was a member of the Savannah Volunteer Guards, and served with them for some time. After the first victory of the Confederates at Manassas, in July, , 1861, he proceeded with several others to Virginia, for the purpose of recruiting the ranks of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, which had suffered severely from casualties. With the Company he served for a considerable period of trine. Afterwards' he became , a memb'er of"the Chatham Artillery,' and con- tinned in the Confederate, service in various positions until the final surrender of the Con- federateTarpiies.'T I O TT/ T J ^C '~Atr the' termination- of the' war 'his intelli gence and active temperament. induced Mm to seek occupation in commercial business, and he was thuslndostrionsly engaged at the trine of his death, with every prospect ofhon- ririihlitnnrnmr"Ti i -ifrm \n fun nun-hi »it TTia generous temper, his high sense of THE BLOODSIIEI 18 RESPOXSIB an i w. — iy have ilurrin, but we allude to theriubject here forthe purpose of denouncing tho conduct of well known evil i^jp.ftdu^l^rity, who, for' their own ambitious arid corrupt pur poses, have sought to imytrol the negro popu lation by imposing on their ignorance, ex citing their worst passions against the whites and inciting them to deeds of violence and blood. It is known to our citizens that some of these men have had nightly councils with the negroes, that theyhave distributed among them infamonsly false and inflammatory docu ments, thatithey have inculcated in them feel ings of distrust, resentment and hatred to wards the whites, advising them to come to the polls in solid phalanx, knowing them to be armed and prepared for bloodshed. While we denounce these miscreants as enemies to both races, we would warn our citizens against them as dangerous members of the community. Self-protection is a univer sally recognized rigid and duly, and -if there is fro law that can reach these:-enemies of toe public peace, our citizens owe it to com munity, to their own security and that of their families, homes and property, to take measnres to protect themselves against the evil machinations of such cowardly incen diaries. The blood that was shed on Tuesday is j - upon the hands of the white wretches, who> it is-said, advised the negroes to the course which led to the collision. THE ELECTION. We give this morning all the additional re turns that have reached us by telegraph and the mails. Whilethey do not vary the result they are still of interest, showing as they do a more gratifying array of Democratic strength, a greater devotion to the principles of the Constitution than we.were led to expect by the reports wMch reached us on Tuesday night, when it was even doubful whether the Democracy would cany a single Northern State. The returns which we publish this morn ing give assurances'that Seymour and Blair have carried trie States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Ore gon, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, and- per haps North Carolina. Above all it is gratify ing to know that our ownnoble old Common wealth is triumphantly redeemed from Negro Radicalism, by a majority of at least twenty- five thousand. The Approaching Earthquake.—The N^w York Atlas has some misgivings concerning the California earthquake. It thinks it will be the turn of New York or the whole Atlan tic coast next.. . The editor, as if with fear and trembling, asks’! -L-i-- - “Have we riot been warned of approaching misfortune of trie character to winch we are referring? Undoubtedly. Not longer than two weeks ago two “smart” earthquake shocks were felt in Virginia, and the chivalry be came veritable quakers. If the Atlantic sea board ever catches a blow of the kind, it will be an earnest one; and what if such a blow really impends? Vvliat if the vague hints and predictions of geologists and other men of science as to marvellous changes about to take place on the globe be true ? What if the theologists who rest from inspired prophecy the promise of a speedy destruction of sub lunary goods and chattels have aimed at one target and Mt another ? What if chaos is to coins again, and render, all our plans, and hopes, and fame, and wealth, arid onr strag gles for aggrandizement nugatory and of no earthly account ? The idea is pregnant with suggestive reflection. Let us take another week to it.” Had the editor given expression to Ms ap prehensions since the recent election, we might have supposed his gloomy forebodings were suggested by the despondency which a good, Constitutional Democrat very naturally experiences after a political disaster so crush ing to his patriotic hopes. Doubtless, many good men are of opinion that after the ex perience of the past few years", with the grand climax of the triumph of the revolutionary Jacobins in the election, the country is pre pared fbr almost any calamity, und that any thing short of an earthquake would sink into insignificance in comparison with what we have already suffered. We confess for one that between the triumph of the Radical ma- lignants and a moderate earthquake there is very little choice. 3,128 1,748 Fiftv votes in No! 3 will probably be thrown , other counties.

Editor: Talking with a friend, I used the words “ Colonel Stone,” referring to the wMte Radical adviser of the black Radi cals of this city. “Why,” replied he, “do you use that title; where did ha serve; why should he he called Colonel ? You know he is not Judge, as Bnllock could not carry him to that position, and he is in the same pre dicament as to judicial honors as the camel is to the eye of the needle. ” Now I appeal to you for information. Was he a subordinate to “ Captain Jenks, of the horse marines ?” or did he outrank him in that famous brigade where the horses were .“ fed on com and beans ?”. rx i There is another notorious white leader of the Radical blacks, who is also called Colonel C. H. Hopkins. Now I do know that he did no,t succeed in raising that regiment for the Confederate States wMch he tried to raise during the rebellion. Now let history be supplied with authentic material I will ask of each title aB my old schoolmaster used to ask of me: Unde derivalur—‘‘whence does it come ?”_ Pray,’ Mr. Editor, ’ solve this ijn- portant question, and roll eve the pangs of A Doubting Thomas. . ■« ; ■ The Suppression of the Order of Jesus In I MO 1*0*1 Spain, d liS'.i The following is the order recently issued in Spain relative to the Society of the Jesuits, wMefa was in ,1764. about a hundred years ago, by a Bull "of Clement XIX., suppressed in all the States of Christendom. In Spain and Portugal the members of the Order were' driven into exile. The Society was completely rehabilitated by Pious vil. in 1814, and even in Spain their ancient posses sions were restored them. They were again suppressed By the Cortes in .1820, and again restored in 1825. In 1835, under revoln- ‘tionary influences, they were again suppressed in Spain by Royal Decree, hut its provisions were never effectively carried out: -rT.“"YT jf i. i Xf r ^Madrid, October 12. .1 decree- the suppression throughout the Peninsula and the adjacent.

On Thursday evening last, Bishop Smith, of Kentucky, the senior Bishop of toe Pro testant Episcopal * Church in the United States, addressed an immense congregation at Calvary Church, New York, reading a pas toral letter wMch touched with decided em phasis on some of the questions concerning wMob the General Convention refused to take action. The substance of toe pastoral letter is as follows: The toll representation wMch attended toe Convention is referred to as a matter for praise and thanksgiving, being without a precedent in nine years. During that period tho Church has had to deplore the loss of sixteen of its foremost champions, two of them being presiding bishops. Grateful mention is made of the abundant spiritual increase and growth and progress of evan gelical principles, while regret is expressed at many examples of “unprofitable services.” Thanks are given for toe reunion as a na tional church, and for toe harmony of pur pose and action thereby secured. The labors of-the missionaries are characterized as noble and faithful; while it is lamented that toe offerings of the Churches have not been commensurate with their endeavors, although it is mentioned as qualifying this report that there is a great deal done that does not ap pear in any reports. Tho work of benevo lence, it is said, has been the subject of grave considerations, while the subject of Christian education has received a large measure of practical attention. The Christian family “ being more and more re garded as a divine institution,” and in sup port of toe church, satisfaction is expressed that the legislation of the Convention has done not a little to strengthen the households of the communion. The work of the church, the necessity of labor on toe part of toe min istry and of corresponding efforts on the part of toe laity are next referred to, with the growing need of candidates for holy orders and toe scriptural teaching quoted that, “those who preached the Gospel should live by the Gospel.” The necessity of enlarged associated eff ort in works of mercy and edu cation is pointed out, as there' is much that cannot otherwise be done, and a wish put forth that men and women may be found, who will devote themselves to this effort. Such associations, it says, however, must be free from entangling vows and enforced con fession, and be in strict submission to dio cesan authority. It is spoken of as a matter of painful 'observation, especially in large cities, that the churches are too little used, and are sometimes, in summer, even entirely closed on the Sabbath day; and as there can be no private ownersMp in consecrated places, it is urged that more frequent services be held, as in England, and the chnrches be thrown open as mission" houses. Family prayer and daily reading of the Word of God, now too much neglected, are enjoined. The welfare of toe church is next,refereed to, its mostiRingefbns' assailants being pointed tint as toe growing evil of infidelity, Unitarian- ism, that extreme individualism which in matters of salvation shuts up the soul from of our Lord; which allows. any adoration, other than that of our Blessed Lord himself, ., 1835!

I charge “toe - all’ those who exercise ecclesiastical or civil authority, to aid each in what concerns him, the faithful execution of the present enactment in con- formity with the Magmatic Sanction of,the 2d April, 1767, and toe Brief of. his Holiness of the 21st July, lTTK^ 1 * fsx... ;sKTo OTki-oo Antonin Romero Ortiz, ■k r . .-. Minister of Grace and Justice. the latter being cited as the great bar to toe union of Christendom. The letter continues: “Before we leave this topic, wa must also warn you against confounding medimral be lief or usages with those of earlier and. purer ages, and against their practical substitution forthe beliefs and usages of onr own Reformed Church. Especially do we condemn any doc trine of the Holy Eucharist, wMch implies that after consecration the proper nature of the elements of bread and wine does not return; wMch localizes in them toe bodily presence who rose again from death, and took again His body, with flesh, bones, and all things ap pertaining to the perfection of man’s nature, wherewith He ascended into Heaven, and there sitteth nntil He returns to judge oU men. at the last day;” wMch, in any way, asserts" that His sacrifice on toe cross was not “a fnll, perfect? and sufficient sacrifice; ' oblation and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world;” and which would add to onr liturgy cere monies and rites designed to teach, all or any of those things. We would at the samp time deprecate most earnestly those extravagances ,in Ritualism recently introduced, which tend to assimilate pnr worship £o that of a Church, not sectarian but. hostile'to onr own. - And we must .also urge you to remember that the reverent obedience to their, bishop hiid other cfeief'iniffiisteis, promised by the clergy at their ordination, would if faithfully rendered, prevent these evils. The cleigy are exhorted to be diligent in their duties - in view of the vicious times in wMch we live. Amnsementa similarly referred to in former pastorals are again painted ont asJnaMeis requiring atten- of the Royal tion, it being further said that, “In onr. day •e is a licentiousness and grossness in the “ical and. toe like entertainments that l have.been shocking to our fathers." oderation in dress and manner is- urged dafwnll^Birarajfmi.” The pastara^soutinues with an earnest appeal to all to endeavor to paternal benediction.

From the best information we can obtain toe facts of the difficulty are as follows:. While one of our oldest and most highly respectable” citizens was in ‘the performance of his duty, "as manager of one of the polla, administering and explaining the oath to a colored‘chaHenged voter, toe military Mayor of the city, in a wanton and unprovoked man ner, objected to his act and used towards him some very opprobrious and abusive language. The report of toe trouble was home tortile City Hall' front gate, where the crowd was waiting-its tom to enter, and.caused consid erable excitement among: both wMte and blacks, culminating in a negro cursing an Irishman; The negro ' was 'instantly shot— by whom it is not known, The row then, of course, became general, pistols being drawn and fired by both parties; toe negroes, how ever, running away in large numbers. In toe light, toe Irishman who received the cursing, we understand, was mortally wounded and three* or, four negroes wounded slightly. Most Of: the pistols of. toe wMte men were fired in the air, which accounts for accounts for toe small number of casual- ties from forty to fifty shots. In a few mo ments, however, the efforts of the Radical sheriff; A, O. Ruffin, to rally toe negroes hav ing failed, quiet was restored, and toe com pany of Federal soldiers, under command of a gallant and Mgh toned officer, took controlof the City Hall yard, not, however, interferi | with toe balloting. About this time toe shei advanced towards toe front gate of the yard, in‘company with a Federal soldier, and di rected him to arrest a young man whom he (Rnffin) pointed ont. The young man said he had done nothing to be arrested for, when toe soldier turned to Rnffin and said: “If you wish me to arrest- him, you must get orders from iny superior officer;”. whereupon there was considerable hissing and jeering of Ruffin by the crowd wMch surrounded him, and in the midst of it a dull sound was heard, and Rnffin said to toe man to whom he was speaking at toe time, “I am shot.” The man told him no, that he was frightened; and even when he fell, no one supposed it anything but a feint, until they picked Mm up and found that he was dead. The ball entered toe back, and must have passed near the heart, if not through it. No one' knew whence toe shot came, nor who fired it, as no weapon was exposed and every one supposed the difficulty ended. The military held the control of toe polls until their close, and while we go to press toe city is under command of toe Major, who is the ranking officer of toe Federal troops at this point, and the citizens, by Ms directions, are patroling the streots and reporting to him. We have heard of no disturbance, however, since too one at half-past- two, and believe that had toe negroes been free from Radical inflnenco, that would not have occurred to mar the day with its blood. We are siaeely rejoiced that the day is past, and think that the Democratic party has not only done its duty by being moderate, for bearing and temperate, but it has risen nobly to a man, and cast a largely increased vote for right, truth and liberty. married.
