Serenade. —A party ts Serenades composed mostly of the fairer sex, suddenly appeared iu ou r town on last Fri ay night and startled the sleeping populace with the most beautiful heavenly music that was ever heard iu the nocturnal “breezes” of Thomson. Unfortunately we were too much under the Control of “Morphou*” to enjoy the Serenade but dreamed that night that we were “out in the starlight” with “Mollie darling,” listening to the “Music of the Spheres.” The P. G. in G. in Thomson. —Tho racy corres pondent of tho Savannah Morning News, writing from Athens on the 3d inst., of his trip from the 4 ‘Forest City” to that place, pays the following complimentary notice to Thomson, or more prop erly to one of her fair daughters: 4 ‘l believe there lias long existed a doubt as to tho residence of tho P. G. in G., which has not yet been set at rest, and although I am not prepared to give that information positively, I can assert, Laving some little reputation in such matters, that if this P. G, iu G. does not reside in Thomson, a charming little town thirty-seven miles from Au gusta, there, her sister does. When the train stop ped at this place, my eye immediately fell upon the most bewilderingly beautiful face that it has ever been my pleasure to see. I have seen the most beautiful women of Baltimore, a city celebrated for that possession, but never any to compare with the bewitching, dazzling beauty of this bright young belle, Well, I find myself totally unable to tho task of discoursing further even upon such an inspiring theme within the limits of a newspa per letter, and as the warning “toot’, of the locomo tive reminded mo that “onward” is tho word, I jumped on the platform, leaving the P. G. in G. behind me.” Wo always knew that our town deserved the hon_ or of possessing this charming P. G. in G., but felt a delicacy in ‘‘blowing our own bora,” but now that tho palm has been given us over our sister towns and cities, we dare any one to gainsay the same. As the correspondent evidently passed Thomson on tho morning of the 2d inst., and as the fair one alluded to must necessarily have been at or near the depot when tho train made its appearance, it has become a matter of controversy and dispute among tho boys as to what young ladies were 'present at that time, as each one declares that the compliment was intended for his sweetheart. Wo hope the young ladies will step forward and settle the mat ter among these brave boys, as to who among them is intitled to the honor. New AdvcrtlNoinontHi. C-iT See the advertisement of Mr. A. J.

The Senate Sustains the Leas'".— Since writing our editorial, ‘Too Much of the Lease,’ the Senate has acted and by an overwhelming vote sustains the lease. In fact, there were only nine nays, and several of these were not op posed to the lease itself. The Senate has acted wisely and well, and met the expectations of the people of the State. We trust and believe that the House will do likewise, and settle the question. The people demand it. We were not mistaken in our position, that the peo ple are almost unanimous for the lease, and the action of the Senate still further proves it. We hepe to record in to morrow’s issue that the | House has dis posed of the matter as decisively as the Senate.— Constitution . Our sentiments to t dot. [From the Richmond Dispatch.] The Situation. It has been our fate to live in stormy and tempestuous times; to see a uov ernment founded on the benign princi ples of freedom, love, and justice, and intended only to be felt by its benefits, suddenly changed into one of hate, cor ruption, and oppression. Such is the mutability of human affairs ; and such will ever be the fate of the people when they confide the administration of the Government to the most profligate and abandoned of men instead of honest and patriotic ones. Indeed, our Radical rulers have become so wicked and de bauched as to spurn the solemn obliga* tions of their oaths of office; make laws so as to invite perjury; construe the Constitution and statutes for the ac commodation and protection of their criminal partisans ; and set public opin ion at defiance. And what a terrible and melancholy fate has befal'en our beautiful and lovely South / Seven long years cf outrage and misery has not appeased Radical hatred and cupidity. The cry is still for blood and plunder, and they ruthlessly destroy that which they connot carry away. Husbands torn from their terror stricken and help less wives and children are hastily con demned by partisan juries perjured wit nesses, and venal judges, and hurried off to Northern dungeons to meet a slow and torturing death. The indignant his torian will write that, under Radicalism, /they found their punishment in living |pd their relief in dying.’ Yet, rising superior to desolation, ruin and death, they nobly spurn to seek relief becom ing accessories to the crimes of their merciless tyrants, but prefer that ‘glory which will last forever to that of a day.’ And wliat have the Southern people done to be subjected to such unparalelled humiliation and suffering ? Simply differ ed in opinion from the Northern people as to the true construction of the Con stitution. This is the ‘head and front of their offending.’ Their object in the so-called rebellion was self-defense—not injury. The fact that gooi and wise men may honestly differ in opinion in regard to the same subject should, own perfection , and have excited some little feeling of charity and mercy for us in the breasts of the tyrants. On con trary, our prostrate and belj&lP’ con dition has only intensified thfflric I'rgni ty; ami us impunity gives cwftfidence, our sufferings since the war are infin itely greater-than they were during the whole period of active hostilities. We have learned to our sorrow that in hu man affairs power and self-interest are sometimes more potent than principle or justice. The condition of the Southern people under Radical tyranny and robbety, particularly South Carolina, is truly shocking. No words can truly desetibe the tortures and agonies which they have suffered. These atrocities are por tentious of untold evil to the whole country. The Radicals still cultivate the dreadful passion of hate, and thirst for blood and slaughter. The true lov ers of liberty throughout the land have a great and solemn duty to perform, the vastness of which cannot be over-esti mated. It is to defend, by their votes, the majesty and unity of the nation, their liberty, their property, their lives, and the honor and happiness of their familes, from Radical tyranny and plun der. Freedom calls upon its loving children to be equal to the great emer gency, and act with the dignity and lirmness demanded by the mighty in terests at stake, the consciousness of a just cause, and the necessity of extraor dinary sacrifices and efforts. By thus nobly acting in this great crisis of our public affairs they will maintain the freedom and honor of the country in the overthrow of Radical pleasure-seekers, gluttons, thieves, and tyrants, whose horrible and pernicious example has cor rupted society to a fearful extent. Horrible Tragedy. —On Friday evening last, a horrible murder took place on Beaver creek, Fayette county, Penn., about five miles north of the western line of this county. The mur der grew out of an old feud that had existed between the parties for a num ber of years. On the evening in question, Alpheus Glover, a farmer, aged about forty years, went with his daughter, a young woman of eighteen, and a son about six years old, to look at a cow that had calved in the road near the farm of Mr. Jacob Staub, adjoining his own. Some hogs owned by Mr. Staub were worrying the cow, and, to drive them off, M. Glover hissed a small dog that accompanied him upon them. Just then Jacob Staub and his son, a young boy sixteen or eighteen years, came up, the father armed with a revolver, and the latter carrying a rifle, as they ap proached, they pointed their weapons at Glover, who told them to go away— that he did not want any trouble with them. The elder Staub ‘l’ll shoot your heart out.’ At this Glover’s daughter stepped between the muzzles of the weapons and her father. She was roughly told by Staub, ‘You get out of the way.’ The girl, in her fright obeyed the command, when the little boy, apparently seeing the great danger in which his father stood, clung to/his | knees, crying piteously the while<-r-;i But the appeals of the children did notj save the father, for Staub {and his son fired together, and Glover fell (his little boy was still clasping his legs), exclaim ing, ‘My God, Jake, what have you done to me,’ and expired almost instan taneously. Staub and his son then fled to their home. Staub and his son were arrested and placed iu jail at Uuion town. Jacob Staub, the murderer, is a native of this county. Glove, the murdered man, was a native of Fayette county.— Cumberland. ( Md .) Times. The Alabama Election. —The elec tion law passed by tho last Legisture, ot Alabama, has been declared uncon stitutional, and the election in that State must be held under the Radical law of ISGS, which denies the right of challenge and all securities lor the puri ty of the ballot. It seems the bill originated with the House and went to the Senate in duo course, whene it was amended. In engrossing the bill the Clerk of the Senate left out tho Senate amendments, which were never passed by the House, and thus the bill fell to the ground. This was gross careless ness or most culpable fraud. soromemat. Cotton/ Report. Thomson i® 184 Savannah v (® 204 Augusta <§) 19| Charleston 20 Thomson Prices Current. CORRECTED WEEKLY BY JOHN E.
