CONSTITUTIONALIST.
ATJGKLP6TA, <*A,
TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 31,1866.
[From tlie Richmond Timm, July 25.
“Tiie Murder of tiib Innocents” seems
to go on as methodically in Rutland iu 1860 as
it did when that sensational Bohemian, C. Ed
wards Lester, published twenty years ago his
lainous hook about the “Glory and Shame of
England.” Women and children of the purest
Caucasian type are yet worked to death in the
Manchester mills and Cornwall mines, although
Exeter Hall still sends forth its missionaries to
be devoured by the heathen. The Scriptures
are still printed by the English Bible Society in
we know not how many hundred languages,
while there are hundreds of thousands of bru
talized Anglo-Saxon boys and girls who are as
ignorant of the divine truths of tho Christian
religion as are the young Bushmen of Vau-Die
man’s Land. These terrible facts have just been
communicated to the public by certain Com
missioners appointed by Parliament to “inquire
into the employment of children and young
persons in trades and manufactures not already
regulated by law.” Tho report embraces the
result of the labors of the Commissioners during
the years 1863, 1864, 1865, and a part of the pre
sent year.
Nothing can, thernforo, be more truthful and
recent than these reports. The statements of
the Commissioners are calm, dispassionate, im
partial and unprejudiced. Tho picture which
they paint of the horrors of white slavery are
iu finitely worse than the Jtctions of Abolition
writers like Mrs. Stowe. Negro slavery, in its
most hideous forms, was never half as abomi
nable as the slavery of infants iu England.
With the abolition of the slave trade in the
colonies a new traffic sprung up in the mother
country. To supply the vast manufacturing
establishments with victims of tender years,
“ child jobbers” have for years traversed Eng
land, Scotland and Wales, purchasing children
from their parents and selling them again into
worse than Egyptian bondage.
The consumption of human life, says the
London Quarterly Review, in the manufactories
to which these children were consigned, was
frightful. The machinery in some establish
ments never stood still. One set of children
Avas worked by day and another by night. The
laws of nature were wholly disregarded, and
hundreds of the most sensitive and helpless of
beings Avere used up annually by their remorse
less task-masters, oidy to have their places tilled
by -fresh victims.
Efforts have again and again been made to
check this wholesale infanticide, but the report
of the Commissioners show that these efforts
have not been successful. They state *iu their
report that they have discovered instances in .
Which children began to work at three years of
age, that many began at live, and that iu many
instances they were required to labor sixteen
and eighteen hours a day. In many instances
the more savage and merciless Insk-hiasters of
these poor infanta were their own parents.
The commission with whose statements we
are dealing lias made four reports, which are
exhaustive of the whole subject. They furnish
a A'asf mass of evidence as to the fearful abuses
Avhieli exist in the employment of children in
many of the leading manufactories of England.
They treat in one of I heir reports of the em
ployment of children oi tender years in the
manufacture of earthenware, lueifer matches,
percussion caps, paper making, pen making,
t fce. 11l a single district of England there were
4,605 children between the ages of five and ten
years of age avlio Avere engaged in manufactur
ing coarse earthenware, one of the most un
healthy of occupations. The morality among
these children was excessive. In one district,
out of 1,130 deaths, 470, or upwards of forty
three per cent., occurred in the first year, and
140, or thirteen per cent., before the fifth year
oflile; making a total of 619 deaths, or fifty
live per cent, of-children under five years of
age. In this district young girls and hoys were
kept at work for sixteen hours a day in crowd
ed and ill-ventilated rooms, lit tlm rooms
where boys were kept attending to the ovens,
the thermometer rose in one of. them to 130,
anil in another to 118.
In the third the thermometer burst from the
intensity of the heat.
“Tin Commissioners report that tho hoys
avere ke.it in constant motion throughout the
day, each carrying from thirty to fifty dozen
moulds into the stoves, and remaining iu them
long enough to take the dried earthen ware
away. The distance thus run by a boy in the
course of a day, of not more than ordinary
work, was estimated at seven miles. From
the very until re of Ibis exhausting occupation
children Avere rendered pale, Avenk and un
healthy. in tho depth of Arbiter, Avitli tho ther- -
moineter in the open air, sometimes below ze
ro, hoys, Avith little clothing blit rags, might he
seen running to and fro on errands, or to their
dinners, Avitli the perspiration standing oil
their foreheads, ‘after laboring for hours like
little slaves.’ The inevitable result of such
transitions ol temperature were consumption,
asthma and acute inllaination. The number oi
children employed in the exhausting labor of
mould-running was found by the last census to
be 1,850. The most painful portion of these
revelations was the fact, that the parents qf the
children themselves Avere generally tliu task
masters win) imposed this slavery upon their
offspring. Fathers were even found who scru
pled not to employ their little daughters of
from eight to ten years of age, in running for
it whole day in and out of those heated fur
naces.
The practice of dipping the oarthern ware
into a mixture of borax, soda, potash and car
bonate of lead for glazing it, was also found to
be followed by the moat, fatal consequences.—
The clothes of the workers wore constantly
saturated with a poisonous compound, which
produced paralysis and epilepsy in adults and
epilepsy in children. By constantly handling
the pieces of earthenware the lingers of chil
dren became so delicate and sensitive that they
bled on the slightest abrasion, and the process
of absorbing the poison wns thus more certain
and rapid.
In other branches of manufacture they report
tbe suffering of the children as equally l'right
lid, The manufacture of lucifer matches pro
duces one of the most painful and loathsome
disease which ever afllicted humanity, it is a
disease of the lower jaw, and “no narcotic is
BulliciciUly powerful to alleviate the sufferings
of the patient until the disease runs itself out,
leaving the jaw quite dead.” Thousands of
children under the age of ten are engaged in a
manufacture which produces Bitch frightful con
sequences.
The reports of the commissioners arc also
full of shocking details of the thousands of
English infants who are slum by the lace work
ers, the percussion cap makers, the hosiery
manufactories and straw plaitcrs. They call
loudly for legislation which will prevent or
punish abuses which endanger the lives of
twelve hundred thousand children in Great
Britain. They report the cruelty and avarice
of English parents as almost inevitable. In al
most every instance they condemn tho parents
of these wretched infants as wholly responsible
for their sufferings and untimely deaths-
The practice ot parents sitting up all night
and making their children do the same is said
to be far from uncommon. The effect of this
excessive and premature labor upon young avjd
tender infants, huddled together in small anil
11 it ventilated rooms, is that consumption is
speedily engendered, the eyes are weakened,
the development of the frame is prevented, and
the body becomes permanently stunted and
dwarfed.
But the most unheard of cruelties arc those
practiced by the “metal manufacturers” upon
their own offspring. With these wretches,
overwork of little children is regular and sys
tematic. Ail instance is given of a father hav
ing worked his three young hoys from four in
the .morning until twelve at night, for weeks
together.
“ A chain maker, at VVedncsfleld Heath, work
ing in his own shop fora large manufactory,
amid who had left the establishment in order
that lie might employ his little girls to help him
instead of hiring hoys, which he wag obliged to
do in the public workshop, was found by the
Assistant Commissioner engaged in making a
large chain. Two girls, nine and ten years of
age, were working ns ‘ stikers,’ and a little girl
of eight, occasionally relieved by a still younger
cue of six, was working the bellows. Tbe
gross earning of this man amouted to two
guineas per week, it limy be doubted whether
the world could now produce a more revolting
instance of parental oppression than the spec
tacle of these two young girls, whose little
hands would have been appropriately employed
in hemming a kerchief or working a sampler,
begrimed with the smoke, stilled with the
beat and stunned with the din of a smithy,
wielding sledge-hammers and forging iron
chains from morning till night. A siugle in
stance of oppression has often had a greater
effect ill rousing indignation than the most
powerful denunciation of a general wrong.
The picture of these little Staffordshire girls
thus unsexed by an imperious task-master, and
that task master their parent, is well adapted to
expose for universal reprobation a system un
der which such an enormity could be possible,
and to prove the necessity of immediate legis
lative interference.”
We might fill every page of to-day’s issue ot
the Times with illustrations of slave life In
Ed cloud as horrible as those which wc have
gathered from the reports of the Commission
in question, but wc forbear. The mental and
moral condition of hundreds of thousands of
these poor English children is proved by the
Commissioners to be not a whit better than that
of young Hottentots.
The most brutal slaveholder of the South
never treatod the young slaves upon his planta
tion with one-teuth of the cruelty with which
more than a million of English fathers treat
their children.
The writers of sensational fables about “Afri
can slavery at tbe South” never* imagined any
thing half as bad in connection with “uegro
slavery ” ns this horrible servitude ol English
infants’ Tbe brutality of the negrophilists to
their own children has no parallel in the his
tory of the institution with which they waged
bo long and successlul a war.

The President’s Last Message.
To the House of Representative*:
The following joint resolutions restoring Ten
nessee to her relations to the Union was last
evening presented for my approval: /
Whereas, In the year 1861 the government oi
the State of Tennessee were seized upon and
taken possession of by persons iu hostility to
the United States, and the inhabitants of said
State, in pursuance of an aet of Congress, were
declared to lie in a state of insurrection against
the United States ; and
Whereas, Said State Government can only be
restored to its former political relations in the
Union by the consent of the law-making power
of the United States ; and
Whereas, The people of said State did, on
the 22d day of February, 1865, by a largo popu
lar vote, adopt and ratify a Constitution und
Government Avhercby. slavery was abolished,
and all ordinances and laws of secession and
debts contracted under the same were declared
null and void; and .
Whereas, A Stato government has been or
ganized ulider said constitution which has rati
fied the amendment to the Constitution ol the
United States abolishing slavery, and also the
amendment proposed by tne Thirty-ninth Con
gress, and has done other acts proclaiming and
1 denoting loyalty ; thereiore, he it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United SUftes in Congress as
sembled, That the State of Tennessee is hereby
restored to her former practical relations to the
Union, and is again oniitlod to bo represented
by Senators ana Representatives in Congress.
The preamble simply consists of statements,
some of which are assumed, while the resolu
tion is merely a declaration of opinion.
It comprises on legislation, nor does it con
ler any poiver which is binding upon tlie re
spective Houses, the Executive, or the States.
It does not admit to their seats in Congress
the Senators and Representatives from the
State of Tennessee, for, notAvitbslanding the
passage of the resolution, each House, in the
exercise of the constitutional right to judge ioi
itself of the election returns and qualifications
.of its members, may, at its discretion, admit
them or continue to exclude them.
If a joint resolution of the character were
necessary and binding as a condition precedent
to the admission of members of Congress, it
would happen, in the event of a veto by the
Executive, that Senators and Representatives
could only be admitted to tlie hails of Congress
by a two-thirds A’Otc of each of tiic tAvo houses.
Among other reasons recited in tlie preamble
for tlie declarations contained in tho resolution,
is the ratification by the State government of
Tennessee of the amendment to tlie Constitu
tion of the United States abolishing slavery,
and also tlie amendment proposed byj.he 'J hirty
uintli Congress.
If, as is also declared in tlie preamble, said
State government can only be restored to its
former political relations iu the Union by the
consent, of the law making power of the United
States, it would really seem to foIIOAV that the
joint resolution Avhieli at Ibis late day has re
ceived the sanction of Congress, should Jam:
been passed, approved and placed iu tlie statute
books before any amendment to the Constitu
tion was submitted to the Legislature for rati
fication. Otherwise the inference is plainly de
ducible that while in tlie opinion of Cougress
the people of a State may lie too strongly dis
loyal to lie entitled to representation, they may
nevertheless, during the suspension of their
former practical relations to tlie Union, have
an equally potent voice with other and loyal
States in propositions to amend the Constitu
tion. upon which so essential I y depend the sta
bility, prosperity and A'ery existence of tlie na
tion.
A brief reference to my annual message of
tho 4th of December last will blioav the steps
taken by the Executive lor the restoration to
their constitutional relations of tho States that
Imd been affected by tho rebellion.
Upon tlie cessation of actual hostilities pro
visional governors Avere appointed, •conven
tions called, governors elected by the people,
legislatives assembled, and Senators and Rep
resentatives chosen to the Cougress of tho
ted States.
At the same time the courts of the United
States were re-opened, the blockade removed,
the custom house re-established and postal
operations resumed.
The amendment to the Constitution abolish
ing slavery for ever withiug tho limits of the
country Avas submitted to the States, and they
Avere this invited to and did participate in a
ratification thus, exercising tlie highest func
tions pertaining to a State.
In addition, nearly all of tho States, through
their conventions and Legislatures, had adopted
and ratified 'oustit utions of government Aviiere
liy slavery avis abolished, and all ordinances
and laws of secession, and debts contracted
under the saitie, were declared null and void. ‘
So far, then, the political existence of tlie
States and tlieir relations to the? federal gov
ernment had been fully and completely recog
nized and acknowledged by the Executive De
partment of the government; and the comple
tion of tlie work of reconstruction, which Had
progressed so favorably, wag submitted to Con
gress, upon whii h devolved ail questions per
taining to the admission to tlieir seats of the
Senators and Representatives chosen from the
States whose people had engaged in the rebel
lion.
All these steps Im<l hern taken when, on the
4th day of December, 1.‘;65, the Thirty-ninth
Copgre.ss assembled. Nearly eight months
have elapsed since that time, and no other plan
having been proposed hy Congress for tliemea- 1
sores institiiliiil hy the K xorlltTv* It Is now de
clared in tint joint resolution submitted for my
approval “that the State of Tennessee is hereby
restored to her former practical relations to the
Union, and is again entitled to be represented
hy Senators and Representatives in Congress,”
Thus, alter the lapsH of nearly eight months,
Congress proposes to pave the way to the ad
mission or the Keprescntatives of one of the
eleven Stales whose people arrayed themselves
in rebellion against the constitutional authority
of the Federal Government. Earnestly desiring
to relieve every cause of further delay, whether
real or imaginary, on the part of Congress to
the admission Iff seats of loyal Senators and
Representatives from the State of Tennessee, I
have, notwithstanding the anomalous character
of this proceeding, affixed my signature to the
resolution.
My approval, however, is not to he construed
as au acknowledgement of the right, of Con
gress to pass laws preliminary to the admission
of duly qualified Representatives from nuy of
the States. Neither is it to be considered as
committing me to all the statements made in
the preamble, some of which are, in my opin
ion, without foundation in fact, especially the
assertion that the, St ate of Tennessee has ratilled
the amendment to the Constitution of the Uni
ted States proposed hy the Thirty-Ninth Con
gress. No official notice of such ratification
inis been received hy the Executive or lilcd in
the Department of Stale. On the contrary, un
official information from most reliable sources
induces the belief that the amendment has not
yet been constitutionally sanctioned by the
Legislature Os Tennessee. The right of each
House, under the Constitution, to judge of the
election returns and qualifications of Its own
members is undoubted, and my approval or
disapproval of the resolution could not in the
slightest degree increase or diminish the au
thority in this respect conferred upon the two
branches of Congress.
In conclusion, I cannot too earnestly repeat
my recommendation for the admission of Ten
nessee, apt) all other States, to a fair and equal
participation iu the National Legislature, when
they present themselves iij the persons of loyal
Senators and Representatives who can comply
with all the requirements of the Constitution
and tin; laws. By this means harmony and re
conciliation will he eflueted, the practical rela
tions of all the States to the Federal Govern
ment re-established, and the work of restora
tion inaugurated upon the termination of the
war successfully completed.

Washington, D. C., July 24, lbt«l.
Mu. Doolittlb Writes a Letter to a
Southern gentleman, who is one of the dele
gates elect to tho Philadelphia Convention.—
Notice how the principles of the call are reit
erated at the close of the epistle. There is to
lie a grand live least, and all that sort of thing,
hut only “ upon tho principles set forth in the
rail for the Convention .” Here is the letter as
found in an exchange;
Washington, July lti, 1806.
Dear Sir: Inclosed 1 send you the circular
letter of our Committee ou Organisation. It
contains the views of the National Onion Ex
ecutive Committee. Wo expect to see a great
Convention at Philadelphia, a real union of the
patriotic heart and brain ol tiie country, and of
the whole country, East, West, North and
South, to bless Almighty God that war is over,
that peace has come, and come to stay ouee
more under the old flag, with uot a star ob
scured, to shake hands together as friends, in
social and political action, pledged to maintain
a true allegiance upon the principles set forth
in tho call for the Convention—the Constitu
tion, the Union, and the Government of our
common country.
Respectfully yours,
J. R. Doolittle, Chairman.
The Philadelphia Convention to be
Broken up by Roughs.— The correspondent
of the New York Commercial writes from Phil
adelphia :
The Convention to be held here in August
under the direction of Messrs. Doolittle and
Company is regarded with great disfavor here.
The returning soldiers and tire companies free
ly and openly declare that they intend to break
up the gathering, and a movement looking to
that end Is now said to be on foot. There are a
large number of invalid and convalescent sol
diers still about the hospitals here who affiliate
to a considerable extent with the firemen, and
assert that they can prevent the holding of any
such meeting, especially as public sentiment Is
against it. Any violence, however, will of course
be summarily headed off and puulslied. Ex
tensive preparations are being made to tender n
warm greeting and welcome to those attending
the Southern Unioiv Convention which meets
in September.
J M I‘oTit a NT”Capt lJukT—Two of the negroes
supposed to have been concerned in the mur
der of Mr. Walker, at Chester, a few days since,
were arrested at Charlotte, N. C., on Tuesday
last. A white man named Williams, and a
resident of that city, was also arrested on a
charge of complicity in the affair.
A Young Widow.—Mr. John Bixler, of
Ohio, recently died, leaving a widow only
twelve years old, and a child nearly six months.
She is the youngest widow in America—per
haps in the world.
The Infamous’and Unblushing Corruption
of tho Present Congress.
The Now York Herald says :
“ The Congressmen assembled at Washington
afford us a.new and brilliant illustration of the
old adage that whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad. The vote by which these
madmen increased their salaries from three
thousand to five thousand dollars a year caps
the climax of unblushing corruption. The
force of total depravity cau no further go. This.
vote shows that the present Congress is lost to
all sense of shame and all considerations of de
cency. The members of the Senate did not
dare to put themselves upon the record by the
yeas and nays ; but that was merely a matter of
partisan precaution. As they have suppressed
all evidence to the contrary, we are bound to
believe that all who were present voted for this
infamous resolution, which not only raises the
salaries of members of Congress for the future,
hut lias a retrospective bearing, and gives them
live-thousand instead of three thousand dollars
lor tlie session about to close.
History may be searched in vain for a paral
lel to the corruption, extravagance, robbery and
profligacy of this Congress. It is a vast job or
aggregation of jobs. It is controlled by job
bers, kept in session by jobbers, and every
measure that it passes is more or less a job.
In many countries such proceedings us those
of the present Cougress would be followed by
an armed revolution. Hero-it will cause a revo
lution also, but in a different way. At the fall
elections there will bo an uprising of the people
that will overwhelm these publidplunderers and
supply tlieir places with honest men. Tho poli
tical events since the war have fully aroused
the masses, and their iniquities of this Congress
will lie the issues at the elections. Nothing
Can save these Congressmen or the party which
upholds them. They must meet their consti
tuents face to face at the polls and receive the
popular jndgunefit upon their transgressions.—
Then let them explain their jobs and their pro
fligacy, if they can. No loud talk about Cop
perheads and sustaining the war will save them
now. They will no longer be able to divert
public attention from their corruption by sliout
ing themscli’cs hoarse with derouncing traitor*
and hypocritically praising the patriotic soldiers,
in whose company they are not Avorthy to exist.
They must lace the issues Avhieli they have
themselves crcatod. Elected as Union men,
they have proved to be the Avorst disunionists ;
pledged to economy and reform, they have in
dulged in the most licentious extravagance.
At last, apparently quite desperate of conse
quences, they vote themselves higher pay, and
they decree that this increased salary shall be
paid to them from the. commencement f>f the
session that has been passed in concocting a
series of tlie most flagrant jobs that have ev eP
disgraced our history. We call upon the peo
ple not only to take care of these Congressmen
at the coming elections, hut to watch how they
spend their ill-gotten gains iu alter life. They
are the grand jobbers of the country. We can
not compare them to any former corruptionists;
for they have stolen millions where others have
been satisfied with a few thousands. They are
not like Judas Iscariot; for he sold himself too
cheaply in tlie estimation of these worthies.
lSjil tlieir names Avill be remembered like that
of Benedict Arnold, avlio also sacrificed his
country to liis love of lucre; and tboir chil
dren’s children will be ashamed tosay that their
ancestors belonged to the infamous thirty-ninth
Congress.”
Ah English Estimate of Sadowa.
THE VICTORY NOT ENTIRELY DUE TO THE
NEEDI.E GUN.
[From the London Times, July 10.
The delay of Bcnedek had enabled the tivo
main armies of the Prussians, each one of them
a national host' in itself, to combine, and as their
losses had not been large in tlie previous en
counters, they confronted the enemy 240,000
strong. The Austrians are supposed to have
had an equal number. A survey of the field of
battle Avitli a good map will show the extent ol
ground over which these immense levies of
men were spread. It is, indeed, ivonderful
that such extensive operations should have
been begun and completed in a single day.—
Where nearly half a million of men and 1,500
guns are in the field, avc might expect a con
flict as long as Lcipsic. But the irresistihlo on
set of the Prussians and the skill of their Geu
erals, decided tlie battle ill a single long sum
mer’s day. The narrative of its incidents gh’en
by our correspondent does justice to tlie obsti
nacy aud courage of the Austrians, but raises
higher our estimate of their opponents. It is
evident that the Austrians Avere very strongly
posted, and that it was a work of daring aud
ebdtfraucc to dislodge them. Only Generals
’having complete confidence in themselves and
their troops would have ventured on such an
enterprise. General Bcnedek could have little
hope of achieving the objects of the Avar by
taking up his “partly intrenched position.”—
The Austrians could not by holding tlieir
ground in Bohemia either deliver Hanover and
tlie Duchies, or make those conquests of Prus
sian territory Avliieli Avere to enable them to
cede Venetia Avitli grace. But it tlieir design
had been merely to protect their own territory,
they, perhaps, could not have done better.—
They had a position Avcll protected by slope and
wood, and they made a good use ot it. Tlieir
artillery appears to have .been excellent. They
mowed doAvn the advancing Prussians, inflict
ing on them terrible losses, while they them
selves wore almost uninjured.
. From our correspondent's account wc must
judge that the Prussians ala not wm me uay
merely by the possession of a superior arm.
Through a great part of tlieir advance the
needle-guu gave them no superiority. The
Austrians Avere protected by tlie natnre of tlieir
position, and musketry fire Avas useless against
them. The capture ot tlie avooil above Sadowa
was accomplished by real hard lighting. The
Austrians avouUl notlretire, but waited for the
struggle. The Twenty-seventh Prussian Regi
ment in nearly 3,000 strong, with DO officers,
and came out on the further side with only tAvo
officers and between 300 aud 400 men standing,
all the rest were killed or wounded. Again,
when a second Avood opposed their progress,
they advanced against it, hut did not at first
make much impression; for, the Austrians
being here again concealed, the fire of the
needle-gun did not tell, and a while battery,
placed at the far end of the Avood, fired through
thu trees aud told on the Prussian ranks with
awful effect. These and other incidents make
it clear that the greatest bittle of the present
age Avas Avon by tbe superior prowess of the
victors, and was not the consequence of a
merely mechanical advantage. The needle-gun
added, no doubt, to the completeness of the
victory, but if the Prussians had possessed
no such Avoapon, the spirit of their onset and
tlie skillful arragemenls by Avhich a part of
tlieir army Avas brought on to tlie flank and
rear of the enemy, would have effectually dis
lodged t|ie Austrians from their position.

TUB LOSSES OF TUB AUSTRIAN ARMV—FALSE
REPORT OF THE SUICIDE OF BENBDBK.
Reliable news from tho Northern Army there
is none. In fact, it is not even known where
the army lias its headquarters. It is now re
ported that the Prussians captured 120 guns or
tbe 3d inst., and that tbe loss of the Austrians
on that fatal day in killed, wounded, drowned,
and prisoners was not far short of 80,000 men.
Lieut Gen. von Ramming, with the Sixth Corps
d’Armce, which had been reduced from 30,000
to 17,000 men, covered the retreat of the main
army, and suffered a very heavy loss while doing
so. When last seen, Lieut. Geu. Gablenz was
lighting at the head of his troops with uncov
ered head. Ever since his defeat at Koniggratz
Gen. Bcnedck lias been subject to violent ner
vous attacks, but tbe report that he has shot
himself is false. Gens. Clmn-Gallas, Henikstein,
and Kritzmanilz arrived here yesterday, and
each of them was accompanied to his place of
residence by two officers. The Arch-duke Al
brecht is uow here, and it is expected he will
receive orders to take command of the North
ern Army.
[ From the Anderson (8. C.) Intelligencer.
Another Atrocious Murder.
Our community was startled on Thursday
evening last, upon the arrival of the train from
Columbia, to learn of au atrocious and brutal
murder wh’iph bail been perpetrated that day
upon the person of Amaziali Peyton, a bee
negro, formerly residing in this place, and
generally esteemed by the citizens. The assault,
which resulted in the death of Peyton, oc
curred at Hodges’ Depot, iu Abbeville District,
and under the following circumstances, as we
have heard them: It seems that Peyton was
returning to liis former home iu Anderson,
from New York, and reaching Cokes bury, or
Hodges’ Depot, got out of the train and went
to the dinuer house, where he was met by oue
Reuben L. Golding, a notorious and desperate
character, demanding to know bis business.
The negro responded that he wanted to get
something to eat, when Golding said to him
that be could not get it, and asked him the
time of day; the negro pulled out his watch,
which Golding attempted to jerk lrom him,
and did succeed in getting a piece of the chain.
Both then stepped back a lew paces, when
Goldiug drew a pistol and deliberately shot the
negro, the ball entering just above the left
groin. The wreckless wretch then walked
leisurely away, while the spectators gave the
wounded man the assistance which was abso
lutely necessary to sustain life even a very short
time. There being no physician at hand, it
was deemed advisable that he should come
directly on to Anderson; reaching here he was
met by relatives and friends, but before they
had gone fifty yards from the depot with him
he breathed his last.
This is a brief, succinct and authentic account
of one of the most shameless murders that lias
ever transpired in this section of tho country.
There was no oauso or provocation on the part
of tho deceased, so far as wc could learn, and
we have made diligent inquiry upon the sub
ject-while the reckless nnd desperate character
of the murderer renders the circumstance still
more appalling.
The deceased, Aiuaziah Peyton, was reared
in this vicinity, and as wo have before stated,
was generally esteemed and respected by the
citizens. Several years ago, circumstances over
which he had no control, or perhaps made use
of by others, induced him to leave the State.—
lie went to New York, where he gained an
honest livelihood, and was returning on u visit
to his family when he met with so tragic a fate.
The community of Anderson truly sympathizes
with the relatives and friends of the deceased,
and utterly execrate the name of the man who
so foully and wickedly deprived this honest,
upright negro of life. And we but echo the
sentiment of every thoughtful and right-minded
person in the district when heartily wishing
that this vile offender against the laws of God
and man may meet condign punishment for
hi# dastardly, cowardly net. He has not been
arrested at the time oi this writing.

CHOLERA.
A CERTAIN CURE FOR THIS DIBEABE
MAT BE FOUND IN THE USE OF
PERRY DAVIS’
Vegetable Pain Killer.
Pbbuqob, lowa, May 6lh, 1365.
Gmntlbmbk I feel under obligations to you for
the benefit I hare received from your invaluable Pain
Killer.
A few days since, I assisted in laying out and bury
ing one of our eiMaons who was supposed to have died
with the cholera. The next morning 1 was taken with
severe vomiting, accompanied with coldness of the ex
tremities. Warm coverings and hot applications failed
to restore warmth. My wife’s family, who had used
the Pain Killer with success during the cholera season
in Buffalo, in 1347, advised me to take it. 1 took two
doses at intervals of fifteen minutes; a fine perspira
tion ensued, and the next day, barring a little weak
ness, I was well, and have been since. It may have
been an attack of ague ; but whether ague or eholera
it answered my purpose.
Blues my recovery, I find that several of our citizens
have used the Pain Killer as a remedy for cholera,
pronouncing it good. I therefore take pleasure in re
commending it to a still more extensive notice.
W. M. CRAWFORD,
Attorney at Law.
St. Louis, Me.
Dbar Sis:—l feel It a I owe to the public to
make known the value ot Davis’ Pain Killer, and my
experience in using it for some of the complaints for
which It is highly recommended. In April last, on
your recomraendatfon, I purchased a ono-dollar bottle
of you for pains with which I have long been afflietod,
and made use of It on my trip down to Now Orleans
with the most gratifying amt beneficial effects. On
my return trip to this city, the cholera made its ap
pearance among some of my passengers. I made use
of the Pain Killer, having no other remedy on board,
and, to any surprise and gratification, found it gave
immediate relief. Oh my arrival in St. Louis, I called
ou you and got four largo bottles, and stated to you
my confidence in It as an infailibio cholera remedy
and remarking to you that I wanted no other chnlera
remedy on lioard my boat. I made nse of four bottles
on my trip to New Orleans and baek, for cholera and
some other complaints for which It is recommended,
and mot with the most astonishing success—when 1
ordered from you six more ono-dollar bottles Since
then, 1 have made two more trips to New Orleans and
back, and on my previous trip up I had more than
SEVENTY CASES OF CHOLERA
on board, when the PAIN KILI.KR was immediately
used with the most astonishing results. In all eases
where it was used in time, it gave relief in a very
short time ; and I oan with confidence say to the pub,
lie, that in all of the first stages of cholera, when taken
in Uino, it is in my opinion an infailibio remedy ; and,
after a fair trial with it for several weeks, and four
trips to New Orleans and hack, and using It for cholera
and other complaints for which it is recommended, no
consideration whatever would induce nte to leave port
without a good supply—believing, it. to be a medicine
that no ofilcer of a boat or any family would bo with
out a single day after using one bottle.
J. M. BROADWELL,
Capt. Steamer Atlantic.
I most cordially unite with Captain Broadwell in
recommending Perry Davis’ Pain Killer to the public,
having myself been severely attacked with the cholera
and found relief in a few hours hy using it, and have
myself administered it to more than fitly persons at
tacked with the cholera, and when used in time a cure
was effected in a few hours, and take pleasure in re
commending it to tile public as an invaluable medicine
that no individual should be without a single hour.
J. N. BUFFINGKR,
Clerk Summer Atlantic.
DAVIS’ FAIN KILLER.
In to-day’s Union will be found au advertisement of
this celebrated remedy. The certificate* appended
from the Captain and Clerk of the steamer Atlantic
we know to bo genuine and founded on facts, ns they
verbally stated in our office the substance of what they
publish. Luitil Union.
At the commencement of the disease take a tea
spoonful of Pain Killer in sugar and water, ami then
bathe freely across the stomach, and with the Pam
Killer clear.
Should the diarrluen or cramps continue, repeat the
dose every fifteen minutes. In this way the dreadful
scourge may he checked and the patient relieved in
the course of a few hours.
N. B.—Be sure and get the genuine artiole, and it is
recommended hy those who have used the Pain Killer
for the cholera, that in extreme cases the patient can
take two or more teaspoonfnls Instead of one.

This is our reply ; In health, the body, like a well
balanced scale, la in a state of equilibrium. But when,
from any cause, down goes one aids of the scale, we
hare the effects of disease. What la requisite is to re
store the normal balanoe of the scale.
