L We have been informed, by a gen tleman living near Smith rifle, that on Sunday laat a band of 48negToes, moot of whom were armed, arrested two white boys, respectively named Jos. Ward and Jack Scarborough, on account of some misunderstanding on the part of the boys with a negro man. After threatening to kill the boys they carried them to the woods and kept them bound and guard ed during the day, awaiting the arrival of the leader of the* band. Their chief not arriving and the night having set in, the negroes consulted as to the mode of dis posing of their prisoners. Some were for killing them on the spot, bat the ma jority were in favor of releasing them on being paid one hundred dollars, adding that if the chief was there they would be compelled to pay $1,000. The boys fear ing that they might be murdered if they did not agree to the terms, paid $14 in cash, all they had on hand, a cow and calf and promised to work for any person the negroes would designate and let them re ceive their wages until the balance o! the ransom was paid. They were then al lowed to depart, and ore now, we under stand, working under contract to pay the negroes. The above happened in the 17th dis trict of Sumter county, but we are dis posed to discredit the story as a week has elapsed since it occurred and no mention made of it, wo will await nntil the matter bos been investigated before com menting upon it Cff*.

Dalwick proposing to renovate feather beds, which he does by a steam apparatus. We have seen two beds cleansed by this process and think it is the most complete operation known. The feathers when put in the renovater were in lumps and stuck together; when taken out they presented a fine and new appearance, and were free from all dis agreeable odors peculiar to feather beds after long use, and their bulk seemed greatly increased. This is the most ef fectual way to renovate beds that have been used by *dieased persons. Those of citizens who wish to have their beds mode new will certainly be accommodat ed if they will send them to Mr. Dalwick at the old Americas Hotel. Below we print a letter recommending the Reno vator : Hawkinsvzllb, Go., May 2,1870. Bbo. Edwin Your letter in relation to the renovation of old feathers has been received. The gentleman in your place renovated an old bed for me which seemingly as good now as a new one, (done one year ago). I saw Cob O. O. Horne in regard to the same matter.

TELEGRAPHIC Washington, Not. 15.—There is offi cial authority for stating that Minuter Motley was peremptorily recalled by or der of President Grant on last Friday. Secretary Fisk has not yet sent inhis letter of resignation. The State Department has received dispatch from Vienna, saying that Aus tria bos been officially notified that Rus sia wonld no longer observe the treaty of 1856 regarding the neutrality of tho Block Sea. This is construed as a notice of tbe speedy advance on the part of. Russia towards the Turkish Capital. London, Nov. 15.—It is reported that documents have been captured by the Prussians seriously compromising the neutrality of Switzerland. The Times in an editorial says that "if Paris should fall it would not be the end of the war.” There ia great enthusiasm created in Vienna over Prussian reverses.

Americus, Ga., Nov. 15 th, 1870. Mr. Editor, Dear Sir:—Noticing in your paper the Presentments of- the Grand Jury of Sumter Superior Court-of last week, calling attention to the failure by the Sheriffs of said county, as far _ . „ '^***" 7 * w v,< *° fawsk as 1865, to make entries upon the Sheriff's docket of fi. fas. which has been T m turned over to them by the Clerk o^the Su perior Court, See. Although I do not sup pose the Grand Jury intended to do me any injustice, yet, ns this was a general term, including all the Sheriffs, and I be ing tbe present incumbent, would be tbe •reHkely to suffer in the estimation of the people. I have therefore, in order that I mny be set right, requested two lawyers, W. A. Hawkins, and J. A. Ans- ly, Esqrs., who are entirely familiar, with such matters, to take the Clerks docket, aud the Sheriffs docket, and compare the interest of each separate esse, and I here with, present you below tbeir certificate, which show -on entire correspondence with the Clerks docket, except one case, therein mentioned, which I led perfectly assured, never came into my hands, to wit: Bradford Wells, Sc Co., vs. T. B. Daniel. I was absent at home with my sick wife at the regular October term, of said Court. At the adjourned term of last week, I proposed to the Committee, who had been appointed by the Grand Jury to inspect the books of tbe county officers, to inspect my docket, but they informed mo they had already made out their report, and did not care to change it As I knew my docket to have been fairly kept, I urged and solicited an in vestigation. I presume therefore, that whatever investigation - the committee hod of the sheriff’s docket, that the in vestigation did not extend to my term of office, bat as their charges were general, I deemed it necessary to moke the above showing. As to the files of {papers con taining the advertisements, although but few of our sheriff’s, I am informed, kept them, yet if the committee had have called upon me I could have presented C. S.

There have been thousands cared by using it who have tried the aal remedies without benefit. To Dr. Thos. A. Hurley: I hereby certify that during the last year I was attacked with the agne while in Vicksburg, Miss., and used sever al popular patent medicines with but temporary relief. On reaching home the discaso returned in a worse type, if possible, when my medical attendant ordered quinine, fa large doeee. fre quently aa high aa 60 grains per day, and which 1 have cost mo nearly 3100. I consulted Dr. ti, ot Louisville, and found he prescribed quinine and arsenic, combined, wluoh I refused to take, preferring to let the disease take its course. I wss almost bloodless, extremely ex hausted, and pronounced with enlarged liver and spleen. About this time the advertisemeitf of Hurley's Agne Tonic appeared in a city papet, and I determined to give it a trial. I did ao, and have no reason to regret it. One bottle restored me completely, and since that time I have aeen nearly a hundred cases iu which it acted with equally happy result*, and wonld certainly re commend it as preferrable to any other,tonic be fore the public.

SPAULDING, The public Roads and Bridges, so far as we havo been able to asoertain, are good, except the road and bridge across Muclcaloochs creek near Well’s Mills, which we learn is impassable ford loaded wagon. We request this matter looked into by the proper authorities withoat delay and tho nocessary steps taken for im provements. The Jail wo fiud in good repair and well kept; but wo wonld suggest that limo or sorao other disinfectant be used which in our opinion wonld add to tho healthf ulucas of the place. Wo find tho Court House needing some slight repairs which should bo attended to before they get worse. The books of our various County officers we find neatly and intelligently kept, except thoso of the Sheriff’s office, which we do not think are k ept in accordance with the law. We find fi fas have been handed out by the Clerk to the Sher iff which do not appear on his books, neither do we find any public Gazette in his office contain ing liia advertisements and sales as required by tho Code § 397. Wo request the proper authority to take no- tico of these Commissions and look close to his books, duty, and the law as for back aa 1865. Deputy Sheriff Filsbury’s books, as shown as by him, are correctly kept We find in the hands of the Connty Treasurer $917 57, bnt from the imperfection of the former system of giving orders we cannot arrive at any Idea of the present indebtedness of the connty. We found in his hands of county scrip $189 90 and $5210 new issue; this amount upon an or der from the Ordinary, we havo received and burned, receipting the Treasurer therefor. We tender our thanks to His Honor, J. M. Class, for the able and impartial manner in which ho has administered tbe law, and to So licitors WnnxLxt and Bsowx, for their kind and prompt attention reddered ns as a body. DANIEL O.
