After Sheriff Christie liad rugulurly iip.-ned court, and had besaught tlis Divineßeuediction upon the State and Honorable Court, the list of Grand Juiors was called, and nearly all responded to the melodious voice of Fred Clark. Sorno few were excused on ueoouut of providential causes, and the remainder were then legally sworn iu by Solicitor General Flewellen. After retiring to their room for a short whi ! e, the Grand Jury return and into court with the announcement that they had selected B. H. Brown as tneir foreman, and Which, by-the-way, was a good selec tion. Ilis Honor then pioeeeded to de liver his charge to tbo body and to remind them of the duties which they, by reason of theoath they had just t" ken bada'sumed. Forever an hour he held the undivided attention of the Jury and of all present,in deliferingm elear, forcible, succinct nnd eloquent word?, his tery elaborate anil comprehensive c‘ Hrge. The jury, at the conclusion of the Judge’s charge, went steadily forward to enter upon their very im portant labois- The traverse jurors were then duly sworn in by the Sclici'or General,and •he call ol eases on the docket was begun. Several cases were passed over during the first two days of the court on account of the ahsenee of counsel; these are to he disposed of during the term, if all the absent counsel arrive.

I A Fiendish Murder in Msw«n Comity. We learft from reliable sources that a horrible murder uud outrage was committed on the person of Mrs. Chambliss, of, Stewart county, on last Thursday night. The facts of the case, as they have been detailed to us, are as follows: On the night meutioned, Mr. Cham-j bliss discovered that hie plantation was on fire. He sent to his neighbors lor assistance, and h xstened to the file, leaving his wife alone. About day light he sent h negro boy to the house to request his wife to prepare break fast for the men who were assisting him. On arriving at the house, tile hoy found Mrs. Chambliss on the Jour of the parlor, dead; one bt her eyes burst*d out uud her skull terribly crushed. The boy gave thu alarm, and soon a large crowd of both black and white poisons assembled. One gentleman, on bis way to the ; house, raw u negro sitting on a fence, He dragged ihe negro off the fence and, di-cov"ting blood on lug clothing, accused him of the crime. At first, he denied it, but, being unable to ac count for the blood at last confessed j the deed, and implicated *woother nr. 4 gioes as liis assistants ill the horrible act. One of the two ottier regroes implicated lived with Mr. Chambliss and the other near by. They wore immediately arrested and they also acknowledged their guilt, and slated that they had con cocted the dark deed weeks before. The agreement among them was that th“ negro living on Mr. C’s place was to fire it, and, while Mr. Chambliss wan absent at the fire, the three de-' vtls were to go to the house, — murder j Mrs. Chambliss and then rob and plunder. In addition ID the murder, they confessed another nameless but darker and mere diabolical deed. There were about one hundred mid fifty persons assembled on the scene,, and when the question was asked “What shall be done with the crimi nals?” the negroes present, about six ty in number, cripd out “burn fheai.” This being objected to, a line was struck and those in favor of hanging onthespot requested tepassoverit. All present of both sexes and colors cross ed the line. A rudo gallons was con structed and t'e three ciiminvls exe cute! bv hanging, one ata time. The negroes met their terrible fate with stoical indifference. The rope broke in attempting to bang the first one, whereupon, he laughed a loud ha! ha! ha! and told his executioners that they “must do better than dat.” Thit» has swift justice met the per petrators of another horrible Crime in our seetion. • Rat Fry. —We acknowledge an invitation to attend the “Ra' fry and general jubilee," given by Messrs. Dozier, Crouch and Brown, at the de pot, last Friday night. Would have gone down, bat a previous engage ment prevented. We l"*rn that the affair was a magnificent success John Brown wa< hnss-hsiteher, Osca Cioueh table-setter and Walter Dozier bread-baker.

The little “Rats” were “solved up in tbs latest and most approved style.” Sorry we eouldn’t be with you on that memorable occasion, t oys, but hope to be present at the next one.
