Orbrning Bispatdi. AUGUSTAi G-EO: Monday Evening, Dec. 36,1858. Whose Fault. Why is it that we get the Charleston Evening Sect so irregularly ? It is al most always a day old when we get it. As it is an evening paper, it is valuable to us, and especially so for its shipping intelligence. [communicated.] Breaker* Ahead. Mb. Editob The signs of the times portend evil. When we see a paper here in our very heart, become the eu logist of Mr. Stephen A. Douglas, and the condemner of Joseph E. Brown, it is well that we pause and look into the cause for this. In all action there must be a motive. When a train flashes by with lightning speed, the motive power is seen ahead; but when we sit and see the play on the stage, we know not what is going on behind the scenes— the voice of the prompter, it is true, is often heard, but he ishiddenfrom view ; nor do we see the scene-shifter, though we do his bungling work, when he throws us into a forest instead of a city, or involves us in total darkness, when he should give us sunlight. This last is the game which certain writers are attempting to play upon the people; and it behooves us to keep our eyes wide open, for if we allow such writers to fill them with snuff, we may be unable to see at all. But, thanks to the intelli gence of the people, the transparency i 6 easily seen through, and the actua ting motive so distasteful to the genius of our people as not to merit a reward. Xenio. Special Correspondence oj the Dispatch. Calhoun, Ga., Dec. 25th, 1858. Mb. Editob: — Yesterday evening, about suu down, near this place, occur red a most melancholy accident. Jos E. Walker, a youth of about nineteen years, was accidentally shot dead by Julius A. Frailey, another youth. The particulars, according to the best infor mation I can gain, are these : At a dis tillery, a short distance from town, yes terday, was a kind of shootiDg match ; turkeys being tied a certain number of yards from the shooter, and so much a chance for a shot. Frailey, it seems, was putting a cap on his pistol (a loDg rifle barrel one) when Walker passed him, Frailey’s attention being called off by something, he let down the hammer, which caused the cap to explode and fire the pistol. The ball hit Walker in the back part of the head and came out between the eyes, killing him instantly. The young men were perfectly friendly, and Frailey is in much distress in conse quence of the accident. A sad warning this to those who use fire-arms careless ly- Our youths of town are having a mer ry time of it, and seemed determined to enjoy Christmas if the old folks don t. Birds Eye. Another Convert tothe True Doctrine The Independent South, in a late ar ticle in reference to the high price of negroes, and its effect upon Southern interests, says: Without the introduction of more slaves South, the poorer class of our people can never hope to possess them selves of that kind of property, and in proportion to their hopelessness of its acquisition, will become their indifer ence to its welfare. Hence— although heretofore opposed to re-opening the African slave trade, as seeing no im mediate necessity for it—we are now satisfied, in view of the almost prohibi tory prices demanded, that it should he re-opened, in order that their price may be diminished and the industrial pro ducts of the South increased. Further, we notice that the greatest opposition to a re-opening of the African slave trade, at the South, comes from parties who are directly interested in keeping up their present high prices. Opposed, as we are, to such a selfish, unpatriotic policy, we must be permitted to publicly dissent from it, and insist upon the equal rights Os all our people to supply themselves with laborers where they can be pro cured cheapest. Something must be done to bringdown the price of slaves, if we do not wish to create a conflict of interest at home, and thereby weaken the bonds which at present attach us as one people, unanimous in our devo tion to the institutions of the South. Frauds on the Pension Office. —We understand from the Washington Union that the Commissioner of Pensions has received information from his special agent, now in Tennessee, of the arrest of Willis N. Arnold, of Henderson coun ty, and of Henry Wright, of Lexington, in that State, for frands committed by them under the bountyland laws. The parties were taken before Judge Hum phreys at Nashville, and the former held to hail in the sum of $20,000 for his appearance at the term of the fed eral court to he holdeu at Jacksou in April next. The letter, after his arrest, became, or feigned to have become, insane, and is now undergoing a pre liminary medical examination. A new paper, styled the Virginia Farm Journal, has appeared in Rich mood. Rescue of the Wild Afeican.—We understand, from the U. S. Marshal, that the African boy, captured some days ago on Jekyl Island and brought to this city, was forcibly abducted, Sat urday night, from the sale rooms of Mr. George VVylly, and has not since been heard of. We have not heard the names of the parties who engaged in the rescue — Savannah RepuUican. Six females recently connected with the American Mission in the East, viz : Mrs Sophia D. Stoddard, Miss Sarah N. Stoddard. Miss Fidelia Fish, Miss Emma S. Goddell, Misses Catherine and Lucy N. Wight arrived at Boston on Friday The Thirty-fourth Congress made land grants to eight different States, to aid in the construction of railroads, of the aggregate length is nearly 4,650 miles.
