This is what 4he Charleston Mercury
Last Saturday was set apart for the
taking of depositions, and the parties

a question, which greatly exasperated

Mr. Witcher,it seems, also quickly rose,
aii^d drew a pistol from his pocket, and
as the ball of his antagonist grazed
around -the abdomen, he fired, striking
Clemmons in the forehead, and killing
him instantly. A nephew of Mr.
Witcher, and a Mr. Smith, brother of
Mrs. Clcmtnens, hearing the firing,
rushed into the room. A brother of
Mr. Clemmons, who had also been at
tracted by tho pistol reports, fired at a
nephew of Mr. Witcher, the ball taking

fatal wound. Upon seeing his nephew
shot, Mr. Vincent Witcher again fired,
striking Clemmons No. 2, and killing
him instantly.

tronising our own merchants, and it is
gratifying to find that the adrice has
not been lost upon, some, at least, of
the business men of oiir neighboring
sister States. During the past week we
noticed an unusual rush of business
aihongonr wholesale dealers in Hayne
and Meeting street. The Southern
drug store of John. Ashhnrst k Co., the
wholesale dry goods houses of Crane,
Boylston k Co., Chamberlain, M'ller k
Co., Hyatt, MoBurney * Co.,, and the
hardware, shoe, hat and other establish

ping a very heavy amount of goods
whioh gives evidence that their efforts
to promote and sustain a direct trade
have at length met with encourage

city Urge numbers of merchants from
Alabama-and Georgia, making heavy
purchases. The scene presented in our
business thoroughfare u most enliven

the sidewalks in great quantities. Buy

fired upon by a second brother of

A Bird that won’t Slug.
Last'wcok we propounded an inter
rogatory, to the Southerner, and as we
had prothptly and without equivocation,
answered -several for. it, we thought we
were entitled, to the satne consideration.
It, js true we scarcely expected to re
ceive a fair answer, but we certainly did
u6t suppose the Southerner would
dodge the question entirely. We are
iavfare that itis a very tender subject to
bipach to a Democrat' just now, and
■they touch upon it with fear and tremb
ling, but.if they have a great leader in
. the}r party, -holding' principles inimical
to our rights, and who hotv has a major
ity of the Delegates to the Charleston
‘Convention pledged to his nomination,
thepooplo have aright to know wheth
er’the Democratic papers of the South
will endorse the nomination, if made,
and support the nominee.
1 Wef again ask the Southerner, if he can
"be inadoto sing,'” to say whether it
wiU advocate the election of Stephen
A. Douglas, if ho |bo nominated by the
Charleston Convention T And we again
remind it that wo will not be satisfied
• .with equivocation. We don’t want to
know " whether he bos any chance of
securing -the- nomination. We don’t
want tokhowif -hois better than a
fclack J^pMbjican. We * want to
1 ktiotr jf tha Southerner will support him

: answer the question touching our en-
"Cdorsement of Henry Winter Davis’ vote

‘ Terrible Tragedy la Henry County*
Virginia.
Thru Brother* instantly Killed—Three other
1 1 . Men Shot and Wounded—One Fatally, it
is Feared—A Divorce Oast at the Bottom,
ef tho Shocking Duds of Blood.
The Petersburg (Vn.) Express contains
•n account 6f a most horrible affair
n which took place in Henry county, of
1 that State. A grand-daughter of Vin
cent Witcher, Esq.. of Pittsylvania
eounty, a few year* since married a man
in Ilonry county by the name offclem-
mon». About 18 months after the mar
riage Clemmons instituted proceedings
for a diyorco at the samdtfmdImpeach
ing the honor of hfs ivifo as thegrounds
for the action.
The Express gives the particulars as
follow*: 1
Judge* or the Supremo Court.
The Washington Correspondent of
tho Cleveland Plaindealer who has re
cently been in the Supreme Court Boom
in Washington, soys:
First on the bench sat Clifford, fat
and sleek, with no grey hairs, and weigh
ing 1 should judge, two hundred. Next,
Grier, about the same size and quite
grey headed; then Wayne, with light
but not grey hair, and about one hun
dred and fifty pounds weight; next,
McLean, with scarcely a white hair,
though far advanced in ago, looking
hole and hearty, and of about two hun
dred pounds weight. Catron, with sil
ver hair, but not so largo a man os Mc
Lean. Next, Nelson, witli whiskers
from liis years round under his chin,
and tho only one who lmd a whisker ;
he would weigh one hundred and eigh
ty or more. Last, Judge Campbell, tlie
only bald-headed man; he had silver
side-locks, and above medium size. Al
together it is a weighty body. In front
of the Judges’Bench (very fine arm
chairs), arc the busts of tho venoruble
Chief Justices Marshall, Rutlodge, Jay,
and Ellsworth. The Court Boom is
small—not large enough to hold more
than fifty persons.
#6T*Thoy have a queer test in Wash
ington to ascertain how far a man is in
toxicated. If he can say “National In
telligencer," straight through, he is con
sidered passable. When ho sings it
out ‘‘National Tellinencer,” it Is al
ways thought necessary for him to go
home.
Tho Democrats in this section have a
similar test. If a man speaks of “the
great principles of the Democratic par
ty,” he will do to electioneer with. But
if he says, “Ze gray prissupusof Zemo-
zassio party,” he has tho right arm of
fellowship thrown around his neck im
mediately.
ExTRAORDINAltr CilALLENQB.—Capt.
Travis publishes, in tho Memphis pa
pers, a pistol challenge for $500 or$1000
a side, to be shot as follows :
“ With pistols, 30 shots a side, at ten
paces distance; the target to bo shot at
a copper cent; my opponent to shoot
at deliberate aim ; with the aid of one
hand only—string measurmont from
centre to centre. I ask that my oppo
nent shall give me five hit cents out of
the thirty shots; or, in other words,
will shoot twenty-five shots against his
thirty. I shall require him to'shoot his
•hots by daylight; I will shoot my shots
in any dark night ho may select, or in
any dark room devoid of light. The
match to take place in the city of New
York, in New Orleans, Memphisor Nash
ville, within thirty days after itis
made.”—Phil. Press.
Tqi Consumption -or Cotton.—The
average weekly consumption of cotton
in Great Britain through tyrt year was
theiargest ever known, being 44,120
bales per week, against 41,819 in 1858 ;
37,681 in 1857, and 43,520 in 185G. The
crop of American cotton in 1856 (year
ending September 1st,) was 3,528,000
bales; in 1857, 2,940,000 bales; in 1858,
3,114,000 bales; in 1859,3,851,000 bales ;
and the deliveries at the ports already
show a sufficient increaso to indicate a
crop for the current year of not less
than 4,400,000 bales—the largest crop
yet known. England will take about
56 per cent, of the crop; our Northern
manufacturers about 17 per cent.; and
nearlvail the remaining 37 per cent will
be taken in the other countrios of Eu
rope.

Messrs. Editors:—Last week there ap
peared in the Southerner a most unjusti
fiable and oaptious criticism of the
Tableaux, on the evening of the 22d of
February, purporting to have been writ
ten by the ostensible editor of that pa
per. I ask a apace in your columns,
not to notice tho bod grnmmer and
worse rhetorie with which it abounds,
but to express my astonishment: that
Dr. Wofford, whom I have, heretofore,
considered a gentleman, should have as
sumed the authorship of an article^ in
which the Ladies are spoken of in such
inelegant and disrespectful language,
and direct,insulting, personal allusions
made to the gentlemen. When they
consented to come before the public
to aid in a worthy and patriotio cause,
it was not with the expectation that
their performance and appearance would
be publicly criticised, as if they were
stage actors and actresses, much less
did they suppose that any one could be
found willing to indulge in remarks so
offensive to them and disreputable to
the author.
If his object was to make a display
of wit, he failed most signally. If lie
wished to excite the indignation of the:
community, he succeeded well. Only
one picture escaped his attempt at sar
casm, and upon one he was particularly
severe.
But a man who would "fast for several
days, in order to get,at the supper table, tho
worth" of a small sum of money grudg
ingly contributed to tho preservation
from ruin, of the home and grave of
the “Father of his country,” could not
bo expected to appreciate the “spirit”
that unimated his breast and sustained
him in his struggles for those blessings
so unworthily enjoyed by some.

. BSTln the Harper’s Ferry Investiga
tion, George L. Soars, of Boston, was
before the Committee on Saturday, and
testified as to his operations in favor of
the Kansas Aid Committee, resulting in
sending there over $60,000 worth of
supplies. More money wns afterwards
sent, and 200 Sharp’s rifles, lie subse
quently furnished Brown at different
times with several thousand dollars, and
500 revolvers ; and a letter of credit for
$7,000 was also furnished to him, but he
drow no money on it in consequence of
tho exigencies in Kansas. Witness did
not know of Brown’s intent to invale
any State ; but did know his plan was
te free slaves, if necessary.

very old, who lias seen ton out of the
fifteen Presidents of the United States,
and has also seen Henry Clay, Webster;
John C. Calhoun, Aaron Burr, General
Scott, Col. Crogiian, Sir Robert Pee),
Lord Wellington mid Queen Victoria.
She has sat In the chair occupied by
Queen Victoria,in Westminister Abbey,
on the day of her coronation, and
would have seen Louis Phillippe, had it
not been for the death of his son at the
time. This is indeed very remarkable,,
and we challenge the State, yea, even

has seen so many of the learned and

Last evening the “Americas” Lodge
of Sons of Malta, in this city, triire in
full transaction of business, when a
thundering alarm came to the door. . It
was soon discovered that a posse of
uhout fifty ladies had stormed the out-j
works and summoned the brethren to
surrender. The working tools were
concealed, and tho sacred mystories of
tho order shrouded from profane eyes,
after which the ladies were admitted.—
After short complimentary speeches oh
either side, the lodiefn prevailed on the
brethren to adjourn to the Atheneum*
where a collation, followed by a dance,
wound up the business of the night.—

Terrible Accident.—In Cincinnati,
on Thursday last, while tho work men
were tearing down the Catholic Church,
of St. Xavier, tho walls fell, burying
twenty of them. Tho bodies had not
been recovered at lust accounts.
Truiom Rock.—The Chattanooga Ad
vertiser says: . ; * .
Tho rock called “Triboli,” and exten
sively used by Jewellers in polishing
their wares, and in great use for polish
ing and brightening all metallic substan
ces, dnot plates, knobs, Ac., Ac., has
been discovered to exist in large and
rioli beds near by Chattanooga.. The
rock is valuable and its preparation will
some day constitute a regular business
and a paying one.
jjtjyllognrth wns once 'applied to by
a miserly old nobleman to paint on his
stnircnsoa representation of Pharaoh's
host in the Red Sen. In attempting to
fix on the price, Hogarth became quite
dissatisfied. Tho miser was unwilling
to give more than half tho real value of
tho picture, At lust Hogarth out of
nil patience, agreed to pay hit patron’s
terms. Within a dny or two tho pic
ture was r ady. Tho nobleman was
surprised ut such expedition, and in]
mediately called to examine it. Th
canvass was painted all over red.—
“Zounds 1” said the purchaser, “what
have we here? I ordered a scene of the
Red Seal”
“The Red Sea you have," said Ho
garth, still smarting to have his talents
undervalued.
“But where are the Israelites?”
“They are all gone over.”
“And where are the Egyptians?”
“Thoy are all drowned!”
The miser's, confusion could only be
equalled by the haste with which he
paid his bill.
General Military Encampment In May
Sevornl gentlemen connected with
the Military Companies of our State,
says the l-'oderal Union, have suggested
to us, the idea of a general Military En
campment, in May, at somo accessible
point in the State, of all tho Volunteer
Companies no.v organized in our limits.
There are some fifty or sixty organized
corps in tho State, and if a large por
tion of them could be assembled, there
is no doubt but the meeting would
stimulate tho military spirit of our citi
zen?, and be or great"benefit to the com
panies already organized.

Farmers Should Visit.—One of the
most important duties of tho farmer is
to visit his neighbor. Be neighborly ;
be social; let out our social feeling;
make them grow; go see your neighbor;
and learn of his success; exchange
ideas; and confer witli one another;—
If our farmer: would do this, if each
farmer would only visit around his
whole neigliborhod onco every three
months, a world of good would be ac
complished.
Accidental Homicide.—The Washing
