Wa, tha Grand Jurors, sworn, chosen and
•apaanelled for tbo September Term of Marion
Superior Court, In bringing oar labors to
do**, beg leave to make the following general
After careful examination of the exhibit made
lo our body for Insolvent costa by the officers of
the late County Court, we have approved and
allowed to the dodge, $51 30; to the Solicitor
General, $253 75, and to the sheriff $2". 00.
Upon examination of the Treasurer’s books,
we find that he bee received for oonnty purposes
tjy sum of $4,153 27; and has disbursed, for
which baa proper Touchers. 82,202 77; leaving
a balance on band of 81,950 CO; of pauper
fandi we find be has received tho sum of
$3,250 32; and disbursed, for which he has
proper vouchers, the sum of $1,886 60; leav
ing a balance of $1,863 72.
In view of tbe favorable condition of our
finances, we reoommend that the Ordinary as-
m a tax, not to exceed one hundred per cent,
on tbo State tax for tbo ensning year.
We ere pleased to be able to roport the books
of tbe Clerk of the 8nperior Court and Ordi
nary in superb condition, reflecting great eredit
upon those officers.
Tbe roads generally in the county are report
ed in good condition, especially in “Kincha-
foonee" and “Cnt off” DUitriota. In Rod Bone
District there bee been no Jnstioe, and conse
quently tbe roads have been neglectod. The
fault we understand is with the Governor, who
failed or refused to commission the duly elect
ed officers. We are unanimously of opinion
that it ia the dnty of the Ordinary forthwith to
appoint a commissioner for this District, and
tee to it that he have the roads in hia District
worked immediately, so that the crops now
ready for market may be conveyed over them
witbont delay or danger; and we earnestly in
vite h|| attention to this matter. Wo recom
mend that the road leading from Glenalta to
Talboton from near William Walker’s to As
kew’s house, on the opposite side of tbe creek,
be done away with. We recommend that tho
road from Ben Powell’s to where it intereeets
tbe road leading from Daniel Lane’s to BclKa
Mill be made a pnblie road, and handa along
the same be assigned it. The road from Colum
bus to Amotions, from Jeff Day’s Old

We recommend tbnt the bridge at HeLangh-
tin’s Mills be repaired at ouoe, aa it is over this
bridge that most of onr eitixena transport tbeir
• trope to market, and it ia represented to be in an
uuMfe condition. We also request that the Or
dinary confer with (no Ordinary of Talbot coun
ty on the propriety of bnitdlng a new bridge at
Chandler's Mills. Onr Conrt-hnnae end Jail ar»
found to lie in very bad oondition, and we in
vite tho attention of tbe Ordinary to the recom
mendation of our predeoesson at tbo April
Term on this subject. We congratulate our
fellow-citizens on the evidence of peaee and
harmony that prevail among all clames of the
community, worn down and exhausted by a pro
tracted and devastating civil war. Stripped of
tbe most of onr property by the aetion of the
Federal Ooveramsnt, and left unaided to begin
the race of life anew, and procure a competen
cy for ourselves and familiea, with old debts
pressing upon ns aqd new onea accumulating,
wa have abandoned pursuits ones a pastime,
and pleasure and betaken ourselves to the great
and paramonnt business of attempting to build
np our waste places and to recover to aome ex
tent at least, onr fortunes. Men thus engaged
bare littlo leisure or desire to diatnrb tho peaoe
of soeiety, bnt on the contrary, respect the lavra
and aid, to the extent of their ability and influ
ence, In seeing them duly executed. Such we
believe to be the state of aooiaty in this county.
"Let ns have peaoe;” we pant for it aa the hart
panteth for the water-brooka. Whatever may
be the state of society in other sections of onr
once proud and noble old commonwealth, we
send greetings to all within onr own limits and
byonrf, that we are in a state of profound peaoo
with ourselves and the mat of mankind, and
humbly crave that the hand of power. State or
Federal, may not be raised to disturb it Let
us have peaoe.
In taking leave of His Honor, Judge Johnson,
we tender him onr thanks for tho prompt and
impartial discharge of his duties, and to Mr.
Solicitor General Thornton, onr oompHments
for courtesies to this body.

A true extract from the urinates of Marion
Superior Court
Thomas B. Lcmtkis, Clerk.
Tnx Nxw Passxwoxb Dxror.—This structure,
which was commence J in 1860, is now finished,
except as regards psinting the top, and plaster
ing aud painting tho offices end rooms. Dur
ing the wsr end until last year work was sus
pended. The building is quit# s handsome one
and admirable for the purposes for which it is
naed. It is airy, well lighted and ventilated,
and oould not bo made more convenient Three
tracks have been plaoed within. Tho frontage,
on the South, measures 127 feet, nnd the inte
rior of the building 81 feet in width. The ex
treme height from the floor to the top of the
ventilator, ia 41 feet The brick walls are 22
feet high. At the South end are placed two
jeket offices, and in one wing, a ladies room
fitted up with taste and provided with overy
convenience, and in the other, apartments for
baggage. The comfort of gentlemen has also
tvoetved attention. Being open at both ends,
the engines can pull or back through tho shed.
w>d the passenger cars always kept under shel
ter. This is a great advantage in disagreeable
weather. Since this depot was built, (and all
the trains have jnst commenced running into it)
the number of visitors to the arriving and de
parting trains has largely increased. It is the
only respectable depot erection that Columbus
can claim. The straetnro was designed aud ex
ecuted by Barringer Jb Morton. Both, the orig
inal sad altered plans were drawn by Capt M.,
of the firm.—CUrnnhw* Sun.
Gxs. Tom Joedas, of whom peoplo in Char-
Jctton cherish recollections a good deal more
lively than agreeable, scorns to bo cutting quite
» figure in his new roU of Cuban liberator. He
“** addressed “to the people of the Unite
States," in behalf of the revolutionists, an a]
P«»L written in th^t inflated and frothy sty.*
which xiArkc-vl l;is official papers while chief of
•Uff.andby which so much undeserved ridicule
w** brought upon tho unconscious Beauregard.
Cuba, he tolls us, does not need men, though
WUitns would be welcome to a country the
difficulties nnd dangers of which have been
touch exaggerated. She does need, however,
clothing and medicines. “Hundreds of
men, he writes, “are standing in my
Light almost nakedand of the Cubans, he
•Lja that men more willing to become soldiers
he never saw. This is what Jordan thinks of
the Cubans. YYe should like to hear what the
Cubana think of Jordan.—CkmHuton Nctes.
Th* rumors current of the serious illness of
Jamei Gordon Bennett are quite unfounded.
Grant aa a Bronx*.—Mr*. A. G. Brewer,
formerly Mias Cox, of Holly Springs, Mississip
pi, in a published letter, make* the extraordina
ry charge that General Grant and wife carried
off silver plate from her father's boose, which
they occupied at Holly Springs. Some of the
articles ore minutely described, and among
them a silver waiter, marked with the name
“Mary Annealy, 1750.” “This waiter,” says
Mrs. Brewer, will be readily recognized in the
Grant manaion at Washington. That and sev
eral other articles of value thatfeamo from the
Sonth may be recognized there."
What Reconstruction will so roa Virginia.
By tho provisions of the new Constitntion
tho stay law is abrogated and the Legislature ia
prohibited from passing any law to stay tho col
lection of debts. This will bring most of the
land property in the State under the hammer of
the Sheriff, as soon as the State is reconstruct
ed and the new constitution becomes the law.—
It will be a aonree of much hardship to all who
owe heavy debts, and have large judgments re
corded against them. A large portion of the
judgments arc in favor of Northern creditors
against merchants who in torn hold judgments
against the farmers.
Gkxtral Grant and Cota.—A 'Washington
letter, in the Baltimore Gazette, says that as
soon as ho returns to tho city either the inde
pendence or the belligerent rights of the Cabans
will be recognized by Presidential proclamation.
At least such was his expressed purpose when
last in this city. He also declared his intention
of retaining possession of the “seized" gun
boats building iu New York and New England
for Spain.
Grand Fuzz Barbecur.—The citizens of Wills
Valley, give a grand free barbecue at Allen’s
Spring, 44 miles from Chattanooga, on Satur
day, tho 21th inst., as a compliment to the capi
talists engaged in constructing tho Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad., This is a compliment
well merited, and will, no doubt, be highly ap
preciated by tho parties.—Constitntion.
Crops in Coweta.—From conversations with
many farmers, from different sections of the
county, we are convinced that the com crop is
a medium one, but not enough to supply the
wants of the people. The cotton crop has been
cut abort at least one-half.—Kelt nan Herald.
The pugilistic fraternity of New York are in
a state of lively excitement at the arrival from
England of the celebrated Knight of tbe Fist.
Mr. Jnmes Mace. This distinguished gentle
man is said to be in excellent condition, and as
his friends say he comes here in pursuit of pro
fessional business, we may look out ere long for
another “great mill.”
Tin: Avondale fund is so steadily increasing
that (here is little doubt now but that it will
reach the $250,000, which is desired and needed
to make a permanent fund. There is now a
grand total of $46,81$ 60 from all sources, and
of this sum, $1,021 was raised in the town of
Pittsion. Pa., on Saturday. Tho bulk of the
subscription thus far has come from New York.
The senior editor of the New Orleans Pica
yune. on his retnm from a two months’ stay in
the North and East, remarks that “with public
opinion at the North far more tolerant than ever
before, with an earnest disposition there to
carry capital to tbe South rather than take it
away, and with a bountiful crop insuring inde
pendence nt borne, we may all be hopeful. The
future of the South will be one of progress and
improvement.’’
The practicability of a single-rail railway has
been thoroughly tested in Franee, and with sno
ot aaftd results. The novel feature of the inven
tion consists of a single rail, like a long ribbon,
extending along one side of tbe road. Oae
wheel, placed at the forward part, alone bears
on this rail, while the other two wheels rest on
the ground. The cars are furnished with two
w heels, placed underneath in their long axis,
which rest on the rail and support their weight,
while two other wheels, destined to preserve
the equilibrium, are placed outside.
Ilurned Alive.
The Augusta Constitutionalist, famishing the
particulars of the late catastrophe on the South
Carolina Railroad, which was announced in the
telegrams Sunday morning, says:
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning, the up
pAaaenger train from Charleston reached the
Congarec trestle, across tho track of which a de
cayed tree bad fallen. The train was made up of
two passenger coaches, filled with passengers, and
the mail, baggage and express cars, besides ten
crtwelve boxcaraheavilyfreighted. Immediate-
ly,<>efore reaching tho break in the road, caused
by the fallen tree, which had broken the super
structure of the trestle for several feet, one of
the firemen, Charley Bums, discovered tho
c..a*un, but thought it the shadow of a tree across
the track. When still nearer, he diACovered its |
true character, but too late to stay the progress
of the locomotive. wLich jumped the break, and
meeting no track on the opposite side, keeled
over into tbe abyss, twenty feet below, thirteen
freight ears following and falling one upon an
other into the chasm. The locomotive in falling
caught tho engineer, Mr. Seaborn Hargrove,
who was bnried beneath its pondoroua weight.
Mr. James Gilbert, fireman, was also entangled
in tho wreck of the locomotive in such a manner
that extrication was impossible, and his body,
if not killed outright, was completely roasted to
death by ILo fire m the engine.
As soon as the shock was felt, Conductor
Evans hurriedly ascertained the cause and dis
covered the horrible death hanging over his en
gineer, whom, when he reached the engine, by
sliding down the trestle timbers, be found still
alive. The moat earnest and laborious exer
tions were pnt forth by Condnctor Evans and
others to rescue the unfortunate man, who re
tained his consciousness and appreciated the
foil extent of his terrible position and the niter
hopelessness of his relief. By this time, the
oars next the engine were discovered to be on
fire, which was observed by tbe engineer, who
calmly importuned hia friends to leave him to
his manifest fate and protect themselves from
tho burning wreck winch threatened to fall upon
them in • few minutes. With • kindly message
to his wife, he annotmoed hia willingness, “to
go,” and calmly folded his arms across his
breast, to await the terrible fate which hnng
over him. Finding all efforts to extricate him
fntile, with heavy hearts, tbe friends of this be-
roio man were forced to withdraw themselves
from farther exposure to the fiery death which
was suspended over them, and leave him to his
awfnl fate.
■ The bodies of tho two men were extricated
from the wreck daring the day yesterday. As
if dying with folded arms, tho right hand and
left arm of the engineer was bnmed oompletly
off, together with his legs at tbe knees, and
other parts of hia body charred to a complete
crisp. The head and both arms and legs of the
fireman, Gilbert, were burned off, presenting
one of the saddest spectacles upon wich human
eyes ever rested. Of all tbe harrowing scenes
of the terrible disaster, the horrible death and
moltilations of these unfortunate men were
most melancholy, and claimed the sympathy of
tbe atonteet hearts. The other fireman, Char
ley Borns, was severely scalded nnd badly
bruised, bnt unoontcious. as it were, of the ex
tent of his injuries, was enabled to extrioite
himself from the wreck and walk out of danger.
Although suffering greatly yesterday, he was
cheerful, and was brought from the soene to
BranchviUe, by Conductor Moore, whose train
arrived here last night, and to whom we are in
debted for many of the particulars which we
give. He was carried to Charleston, bis home,
and there are strong hopes entertained of his
recovery.
Tho remarkable preservation of the passes-
ira from the dangers which threatened them
the oommon rain and destruction of the
train, by fire, ia attributable to tbe fact that the
ears in advance of the passenger coaches com
pletely filled the break and chasm, leaving the
passengers unharmed on the track, when tbe
two passenger coaches were uncoupled from the
burning train, and shoved to a safe distance
down the track, by which they were preserved
from destruction.
Thirteen heavily laden freight eats, locomo
tive and the baggage car arc piled in one oom
mon rain, with abont sixty or seventy feet of
the trestle destroyed by the fire.
Tbe origin of the Are ia confidently attributed
by aome of the passengers to matches shipped
among the merchandise in the freight can.
Others regard it as haring been communicated
from the locomotive to the trestle, and thence
to the freight can.

SCHOFIELD’S PATENT COTTON PRESS.
r PIlIS PRESS mu r t commetid Itself to the cotton planters of the Southern States for its durability, rim-
X plielty of cocstructicm.Md ease with which it eon be operated by either hand, horse, water or ateam power,
the change from one to the other being effected In a few minute*. A great advantage this Prt*« t o se*$e*, is
that it oeeupies for hsnd power only a trace of fourteen foot square, and maj be placed aod operated in tho
Gin HouM,thna avoiding the ne-e.-- i:y of taking cotton out of he house to bo packed. It can be used in any
bind of weather: the Press being in the house, rainy days a;o no obeUela to peeking, as l« tho ca*e with
wooden screws. Another advantage is. when yon get >chofieWFi Press, yon have a Press for all tune, and one
not liable to decay or breakage, as is the ea*e with the old wooden screws, and m -1 other Iron screws .imi
petases This is evident from the fact that tho screw is iron, cither wrought or cast, ard the frame.* are of
wrought iron, and no part of the Press liable to decay loaches the ground. The frames may be mode of
wood, at tbo option of the planter. Planters may purchase either tbe screw and nut alone, and put the frame
and box of wood to it thenBelvra. or may purchase the screw, not and iron frame*, and put the wooden box
to it, or they may purchase the Press complete, with screw, nut. iron frames and box. making the mo.«t com
plete Frees in use. Presses complete, as last named, are in more general use. and give treat satisfaction to
all parties using them, a* will be seen from letters In my posternion. Parties in need of Cotton Presses would
do wall to call, if possible, and examine mint: or » they should favor me with their order, they miy rely
upon getting a Prate that is all I c elm for it.
Having the most extensive Iron Works in the city, and tho greatest variety of patterns of all kinds, I am
able to furnish parties with any hind of machinery or castings at short notice.
