Onlr G**y lloy a think it would be cruel, after they have worked off thirty-three numbers of The Independent, often requiring nineteen of the twenty-four hours to accomplish the work,to require them to work through the holidays. We have not forgotten how faithfully our little troop has worked, oft until the noon of night, all done for us and Our patrons. And now, dear patrons, won’t yon with us agree to excuse the boys next week with half a sheet. We will make it ns interesting as possible and will deliver it on Wednesday moruing. We are grate ful to our little troop for their past labors, and we will be very grateful to our patrons if they will excuse the boys with a half sheet next week. No -lUlßbr.

The election is near nt hand for Mayor and town Couneilmen, and we are informed tlud, the ticket is made tip —the ticket that the people wants elected—and here it is: fok mayor: S. T. KIXOSBEBRY. for corNon.MEN: E. A. Jelks, ,T. B. Creech, T. A. Ham,, B. H. Gandy. This ticket to ns is unexceptionable, from the fact that they are all property holders and are interested in the prosperity of the town; and, while wo have no ob jection to urge against any other ticket or nny other citizen, we have what we conceive to l>e a good reason for favoring the election of the above-named gentle men. They are not seeking the position. They will accept the position reluctantly, but will, nevertheless, discharge their duties faithfully. A better ticket cannot be selected, and we are willing and anxious to support it. as the office in this instance is seeking the men; we urge the men to till the office. We have no doubt that this ticket will be acceptable to uJI, and hope there will be no opposition. The goods being all marked down cheap, if you want to pay high prices for vour supplit s, don't call at Kayton'k New York Stoke. Glad of it—.lust whul In Wanted. Tbe Trustees of the Quitmnu Hi'.'L Sahool having aroused from their lether gic sleep, have determined that the educa tional interest of our town shall be neg lected no longer, and w ith an energy high ly commendable, have secured the services of It. V. Forrester who is thoroughly qualified for the position,and will no doubt be properly encouraged by the Trustees and citizens of the town to build up an ex cellent school,one creditable to him.self cud the town; and in order to encourage this enterprise we hope the citizens will open their houses and board pupils from a dis tance at such prices as to induce parents to send their children here. High board ing is a great draw-back to a school in a country town. We hope all w ill offer in ducements and give every encouragement to this important enterprise. At present Quitman offers no educational facilities to the surrounding cynntrg, and with its ca pacious school building and healthful lo cality we think it should he spoken with shame, that there is no school iu Quitman at which even a thorough English educa tion can be obtained. We have no doubt that Quitman will in the future offer as great educational inducements as any other interior town.

Their departure is scarcely announced ’ere their arrival is made known, like bees going to and returning from tiro flowers where they gather tlicir honey. But, we can’t learn what flowers they are sucking. If they are asked if they are dramming tor some house, they pompously reply, “wo don’t want to sell our goods.’’ We ask them “what’s the tggttcr with Hannah ?” and they reply, “Wa come to Quitman for our health;” but they don’t stay twenty four hours until they are gone, and they ore not gone loDg enough to change and wash their shirts, until they are back again at Quitman “for their health.” We don’t see, although some of these men wear long, slick hats, and short-tailed coats, that they have any legitimate busi ness. We don’t see any visible means of support. Sometimes they are cheerful, and sometimes they are sad; sometimes they aro in groups, like they were con spiring to do some dreadful deed, or hold ing a council of war; then we find them alone, moping around like a jilted lover; and, altogether, we don’t know what to make of them. They shun the Ixde- I'ENDENT; they don’t wuntit to see them,nor do they care to see it. We have heretofore thought that we had a very vigilant county Judge and vigilant town officers, yet these men, without any visible means of sup port or any legitimate business, is per mitted to go at large. Look out officials, some mischief may result from those oft repeated visits. If it does, we will tell on you. Wheeler & Wilson’* Sewing Machint—A Great >lurgain.

On Wednesday of last week the only son of Mr. Wm. McCauley, of this county, was killed near Bosemnu’s Mill. His father had left him sitting in the wagon, to which was attached a yoke of oxen, while he went into the mill. The oxen took fright from some cause or other, and ran away, turning the wagon over, which fell on the little boy, severely crushing him. Medical aid was summoned, but I proved of Do avail, as he died from his injuries on the following day. Fresh goods just m-eiv,-it, which ware ho right at panic prices, and will be sold the mime way.

Kayton'h New Yuuk Stow:. What Ho Vo • Think of This! Perhaps rio more forcible evidence from a Well-known source can be given of the great power of Mansfield & Higbeo’s Magic Arnica Liniment than is contained in the annexed letter from Air. 'l'. F. Brinly, the celebrated plow manufacturer: Louisvtlde, Ivy., Jan. 2, 1871. Messrs. Muosjudil {• llir/bee: Gentlemen— Whilst I was attending the Agricultural Fair nt Alemphis, I was suffering very much from rheumatism in my right hg. 1 was stopping with my friend. Dr. Peters; he kindly tendered me some Magic Arnica Liniment. On going; to bed I rubbed my leg with the liniment; j the. next morning I felt much better, so i much so that I could attend to my bind-' ness all the next day, with very little pain. The Doctor then insisted that I should take it along with me, and it was very for tunate that I did, for T got a very severe fall at the Kimball, in Atlanta, that bruised j me up very much. I went to my room j and applied the Magic Arnica Liniment, and was entirely relieved, being the next morning free from pain, and was able to attend the plowing match. Please send me half a dozen bottles of the Magic Arnica Liniment by Express, 0.0. D. I consider it the best liniment I ever saw. T. E. Brinly, Of Brinly, Aides & Hardy, Louisville, Ky. P. H. I will give you more evidence of | the value of Alagic Arnica Liniment. Sev eral days ago we were unloading two large grindstones for onr factory; one of tlie 1 stones fell, breaking into two pieces, one j of which struck a young man in my employ knocking him down, as we thought, killed, j We picked him up; as soon as conscious,; lie said his side was injured. I sent to my I house for the Magic Arnica Liniment, nibbed him well with it and sent him home; j that night I had him well rubbed again with the same liniment, and the next; morning he was able to coma to the shop, and the second day he resumed work, j His name is Edward Hume; he will give j you a certificate if you wish. You are tit i liberty to use this; don’t fail to send lue the liniment. T. E. B. ———:o: Flour and Bacon in large quantities, at lowest rates. Savannah prices nowhere. At Kaitok s New York Store.

A real sensation was produced in Spartan burg-, lu.m week, by the arrest of the Ben der family, licensed of murders, at Biv ingsvitle, a small manufacturing village in this county, about five miles from the town. Every one will remember the great excite ment produced not long since by the ili - oovery rf the wholesale murders committed by the Bender family in Kansas, and the ’ xhtiming of the dead bodies of their vic tims found buried on t.lie premises around their dwelling, and that the Bender fam ily made good their escape before their crimes were detected.

About seventeen years I ago the name of Bender must liavo been assumed by them when they moved West ;or when they commenced the life of rob | hers and murderers, as the old mail and ; his wife moved buck to the county a short j time since and settled iu the same lioigh ! borhood in which they formerly lived ! without creating any suspicion, being rc , R'.einberei! and recognized by the name of 1 Webb by some of the older citizens who ; knew them many years ago. —- A Cruzy Cf-ytaia Turns Ilia Vccscl at Gea. This evening-, November 27, the mate and ten of the crew of the River Eden were landed here, having been brought I from Baida in the Lusitania. The River 1 Eden, a Liverpool vessel of 500 tons regit ; ter, left Loudon for Valparaiso with a cargo including 250 tons of gunpowder. W hen in lut. 17 28. (dpt. Bowden was seized with a violent fit of insanity, and declared he would blow up the ship. The mate and crew of fifteen men and a boy were dreadfully terrified when they saw 1 him deliberately set fire to the cabin, near to which tlve gunpowder was placed, and tried every means to extinguish the (lames. ' Captain Bowden’s violence increased, and I with a revolver he fired on the eri w. with out, however, inflicting any mortal injury. The second mate was shot in the eye as he tried to force his way into the burning I cabin, aiul one of the crew was stubbed in Ihcshouhler. Fortunately they were able to secure the madman, and to phu t* him in i irons. For some time the crew managed to I subdue the fire by pouring water and ashes upon it, but the flames broke out afresh. , There was no alternative but for them to lake to the boats. .Shortly after they left the ship she blew up with tremendous ; force, but happily all lives were raved. I After being at sea for several hours w ith j out food, they were picked up by the, Ju niata, and afterwards transferred to the Aurora and conveyed to Bahia. They were in a greatly distressed shite, having ! lost everything on board the River Eden; hut the officers of the Juniata ami Aurora kindly attended to their necessities, and furnished them with all the wearing ap parel they could , pare. Capt Bowden, in Lis fury, (lied to stave iu the boat, and, ; sad to relate, after they had been on board i the Aurora for four days ho eluded the ; watch, and manacled as he was, jumped j overboard. Efforts were made to save his i life, but all was unavailing,- London Tel ! <7 raph. —A • A.— Tht. Sunken Coal Barge at the Bkook tan Navy Yard.

Union it is learned that the most interest in;; case tried before the police court of Chicopee for some time was that of Dr. I’. V. Itoudiez vs. Rev. 11. A Wildridge, late pastor of the defunct Tabernacle Baptist Church, which was investigated last week. Mr. Wildridgo, after having boarded some time in the family of Dr. itoudiez, and having induced the Doctor’s 13 year-old daughter to be baptised and to join his church, proposed marriage to the girl and got her father’s consent iu writing. Ho then persuaded the town clerk to sign a blank marriage license, which was afterwards filled out by himself stating the girl’s age to bo 18. After the marriage which took place in that city, Mr. Wild ridge and his child wife returned to her fa ther’s house, and all went on happily until the reverend Benedict asked his father-in law to repay certain money which he (Dr. Itoudiez) had borro wd. Dr, Itoudiez re fused; and, on being threatened with legal suasion got out a writ against his son-in law, Mr. Wildridgo, for “false representa tion in procuring a marriage license,” and Mr. Wildridge was arrested, but was re leased on bail. When brought before Judge Carter a few days ago he pleaded not guilty, but was fined 81 and costs, amounting he appealed to the Superior Court. Ben. Perley Poore writes to the Boston Journal: “I have to-day been shown a letter written by u prominent British poli tician, iu which he expresses deep regret that Great Britain has not long since fully acknowledged the republic of Spain. There would not then have been insur rections or Carlist demonstrations, and slavery would have been abolished iu Cuba os it was in Porto lUco. ” LOCA L Al> VEH TISKMENTS .
