Cedar Grove, Walker Countr, ) June 11th, 1868. j Editor of the Constitutionalist: Perhaps yon would like to hear of the pros «>ects rtf crops in this vicinity. We are now in the midst ot wheat harvest, aud find it much iheiter than was expected —on account of so much rain in the Spring—the grains being large and plump. The rust is on the stalk only and has not injured the wheat. The oat crop will be rather short and is badly injured with the rust. Corn crops are very late, especially <m low grounds; though the farmers are now getting clear of weeds and grass. Should the «ea«on» be good through July and August, there will be a good crop of corn made. The Spring’ has been quite favorable for clover, timothy and other glasses. The farmers aye beginning to see the folly of raising so much ectrp and cotton in Cherokee Georgia and with the/change of labor system it don’t pay to raise cotton, besides it Impover ishes the land; we have just as good grass linds as East Tennessee or Kentucky if we would turn our attention to them. ?be various -7' i.-uJtural Implements now in use will supply vhl ulace of the negro, and Sambo may seek some other country to vote, legislate, &c , for biTown destruction ; for wc can do better witb ‘Z him than with him for a constant political 1 Old Subscriber. nobby. _ Steam Mill Burned—The steam saw mill of Rev Frank T.

[From the Charleston News, loth. Attempted Rescue. A GANG OR NEGROES ATTEMPT TO RESCUE THREE PRISONERS—THE SHERIFF KILLS TWO AND WOUNDS A THIRD-RECAPTURE OF THE ES CAPED PRISON EltS A DESPERATE COMBAT — TROOPS SENT FOR. A collision between the civil authorities and the negroes took place at Orangeburg on Thursday, hut owing to the firmness shown by the office. 1 ' assailed and by the citizens, no gen eral outbreak occurred. During the afternoon the sheriff sent liis deputy into the interior to arrest three negro men, against whom warrants had been issued for stealing goods from a store in Orangeburg. The deputv found the negroes, arrested them, and set out on his return. On his way he was met by a crowd of negroes, most of whom he knew to he from the vicinity of the place in which lie had made Ids arrests. As he rode up, one of the negroes came forward and de manded that the prisoners lie released. The sheriff asked him very quietly what was his authority. The negro drew a pistol, cocked it, presented it at the sheriff, and said, “ This is iny authority.” Without further parley, the sheriff fired, wounding the negro mortally.— The rest of the negroes made a rush forward, and the prisoners made their escape; but the sheriff stood liis ground like a man, and did not attempt to make his escape until he had tired every barrel of his pistol,'wounding one negro slightly and a second very badly. When the sheriff reached Orangeburg lie collected his posse and returned. Ai Hie place where the attack had been made he found the negro first wounded in the care of a colored man. Both were arrested and left in charge of a citizen named Izler, while the sheriff went on aud recaptured his escaped prisoners. goon after the sheriff left Mr. Izlar’s, one of the negroes in Mr. jzler’s custody asxed per mission to go to the spring for water. Mr. Tzlar went with him, and as they approached the spring the negro seized a stick and struck at Mr. izlar. The blow was parried, and the two had a desperate light, in which the rammer of Mr. Izlar’s pistol was hrokeu off. The nenro, seeing he could do no better, broke away aud run off. Mr. Izlar halted him three limes and then fired, wounding him in the neck and body. , When (he news of these events reach«al Die town there was great excitement, ami Die pin zens did not hesitate to charge the negro “ acre ator” elect, B. F. Randolph, with having insti gated the attempted rescue. Randolph had around him a large number of negroes, whom he tbpu told to go homo ami he quiet. There was some fear Os a rising in the night, and ar rangements wc ,-o made ffiaf the citizens should ‘ , Mo when agun was fired or the hell tolled. discharge of firearms yaa heard! 1 The citizens tumbled out Ml all su e*, hut found that it was only <tlo vntree of Ifi n Lengel into the lion’s den during ti.“ perforin anee of Arnes’circus. Yesterday troops were sent for to Columbia, and a detachment of infantry arrived at Orange burg, and was marched to the sheriff's office. All was then quiet, and the danger appeared to he past. More About the Dill Murder. —We learn from a gentleman who left Camden after the murder of Dill that four arrests of white men have been made by the military, and they were incarcerated at Camden. The parties arrested were Mr. Lemuel Parker and son, Dr. Glen, and Mr. William Kelley. These persons are charged with having fired into Dill’s house, killing him and a negro man instantly, and wounding Dill’s wife seriously, ‘the evidence so far is only circumstantial, hut has been deemed sufficiently strong to cause their ar rest. Dill was a member of the Republican party, and lmd made himself very officious in abusing the Democrats. Public meetings were held by both parties, and Dill tried to prevent the ne groes from affiliating wi l l l the Democrats by informing them that they would all be poison ed. He had frequently expressed a fear of be ing murdered, and had taken the negro who was killed to his house as a protector. The parties arrested were supposed to be hostile to Dill, and one is reported to hare said that lie “would shoot him.” 8o far but few of the facts arc known, and the arrested parties may prove to be entirely guiltless of the crime. [Charleston Mercury. Fiue at Cool Spring, Wilkinson County. Mr. J. R. Coombs, of this place, gives us the details of a fire which occurred there oti the night of the 6th iust., and which destroyed the. storehouse of Mr. Willis Allen, and its con tents of hardware and groceries.

The warrant, library, seal, clothing and furniture were destroyed, however, entail ing a loss upon the lodge of about S6OO. The lire was the work of an incendiary, and a reward of SIOO is offered for his arrest, with prool to convict. The building destroyed had been used as a business house, uninterruptedly, for more than fifty years .—Macon Jour, and Messenger.

The two-cent stamps on receipts has been stricken from the tax bill. The Radical Convention, at Alexandria, has nominated a negro for the Virginia State Sen ate. Robert C. Dorn, Canal Commissioner, has been acquitted. Washington, June 13—P. M. Secretary McCulloch responds to Commis sioner Rollins, whose resignation is again re turned : “This communication is partial, because it attributes the present deranged condition of the internal revenue service to tin* removals and appointments made by the President, while it must be clear to the mind of the Commissioner tiiat this demoralization is attributable in part to the antagonism between the Executive aud Legislative branches of the Government, which has prevented harmony of action be tween them in regard to appointments aud to the teimre-of-office act; hut mainly to the high duties upon distilled liquors, lo bacco, ifce., which have created an irresista tile temptation to fraud ou the part of manu facturers, dealers and others. It is incor rect in that it alleges that the numerous recom mendations of the Commissioner for removals of assessors and collectors, even for the gross est misconduct, had been almost, always disre garded, while, the truth is that In all eases in which recommendations for removals were accompanied by evidence of incoin potency or misconduct on the part of the officers, the. recommendations were promptly re sponded to by the President. It is unjust and disrespectful to the President, be cause the records of the bureau show that the falling off of. the revenues in Lite districts in which removals were made by the President in 1860 was not comparatively greater than in the districts in which no changes took place. That in lact the revenues ol the fiscal year ending June 30, 1807, during which the re movals were made, were entirely satisfactory, coining up very closely to the liberal estimates of the department, while the demorali zation ol the service and the decline of the revenues have chiefly occurred during the present fiscal year, long after the officers removed by the President had been reinstated, or others whose nominations had been ap proved by the Senate, had taken the places of the appointees of the President. It was these reasons, and no other, that, the communication could not be received, and was returned to the Commissioner. The return of it was also jus tified by the fact that copies of it were sent to the press before it was handed to the Secreta ry. It must, therefore, have been intended for the public rather than for the files of the De partment. (Signed) “Hugh McCulloch, “Secretary of the Treasury. “Treasury Department, June 13,1868.” The House disposed but of but ten pages of the tax bill to day. AVhisky is seventy pages off. It will take a fortnight yet to dispose of the bill. The Senate refuses to sustain the President’s suspension of Wiu. James. Internal Revenue Collector at Richmond, Va.

The Execution of Michael Barrett—The Public Hanging in England—Horrible Scene. The extreme sentence of the law was carried out upon Michael Barrett ou the morning of the 26th. Considering the great public excitement which followed the Clerkenwell explosion, the fact that tiie convict was executed within a few hundred yards of the scence of his crime, and that the gallows lias now been reared lor the last time publicly in this country, the crowd in the Old Bailey was remarkably small. True, that gloomy thoroughfare filled up rapidly Irom half-past seven to eight o’clock, but the attend ance was nothing like that in February, 1864, when the five pirates were hanged ; or in the following November, when the sentence of death was carried out upon Franz Mulier. The London Gazette says: Barrett met his fate firmly, preferring to die as a martyr jn the eyes of the Irish than to make a confession of his guilt. The scene is thus described by the London Times : Oaicraft (the and Baijpelt each had a horrihiy noisy reception dii*eliy they appeared. The persistent hurst of groaning which greeted the detachment of metropolitan police joining the city constables in the enclosed space before the gallows became appealing when the hangman was recognized. “Let’s put him there instead !’’ “Shame;” “Down with him ;” “ Bah, bah, murderer, bah ;” are but a few of tiie articulate souuds heard from the windows of the Old Bailey and ringing in the doomed man’s cars at the supreme moment. But even these were lost in the excited and congratulatory cheers for Barrett. Nor were more touching evidences of sym pathy wanting. Hanging over the barrier im mediately opposite the gallows, and supported on either side by a female friend, was the half fainting figure of a young woman of 30tne four or five-and-twenty. Her decent demeanor aud modest air won even upon the brutal natures around her, and a couple of genuine Loudon roughs kept back their comrades by entreaties, and when necessary by blows. Whatever her relationship or knowledge of Barrett may have been, there eouid be no doubt of the genuineness of her emotion this morn ing. Deadly white, with clenched lips, and hands which clung to the wooden barrier be fore her with the tenacity Os a drowning man, she succeeded in controKtig herself until the drop actually fall. WiFv Barrett appeared on the scaffold the wqt c-\, supporting bey re doubled their consolatory effort?; spiff her blenched face and wistful air became intensi fied in their expression. But when his face was covered, she gave way, aud at the fatal mo ment fell prostrate, and lay in a passiou of hys terical grief, dead to the noises and blind to the sights near him, and conscious only of the gal lows and its doubtful mission. Concurrently with this painful scene is astir among the po licemen guarding the enclosure in front. One qf the nitmbeF, a tall, powerful, gooff looking yoijng man has given way, and Barrel's death is the signal of his falling down in fits. His Clenched teeth, white face, upturned eye-halls, and cataleptic figure, as his head fails hack over the arms raised to succor him, lend addL tional horror to the proceedings. But hks brother officers loosen his neckcloth, and pale, haggard, and with some ugly marks as it of blood about the mouth, he is led away by a cou ple of colleagues with stronger nerves than his own, who half guide and half help him to Newgate door, taking as they do so close by the gallows tree, and the rigid figure now moving idly, but with a sort of pendulem motion from North to South. The horrors and brutality of an execution crowd have been so often de scribed that an enumeration of some of the features absent yesterday morning will give the reader a more accurate understanding of the scene than any attempt at elaborate detail. There were comparatively few women, little violence, few figfits, and no raffbery t$ speag of. Up to six o’clock the assemblage wits so scattered and sparse that the course of the heavy harriers—put tip by tbe city authorities to break the expected rushings, and looking like massive sheepfolds—could be easily traced. At seven, the people standing dill not cover Newgate street, qnd it was pqt pntil nearly eight that the more distant approaches were filled. But even then large hare patches of vacancy could be detected from the Took ways near, Ths ragged element was, more, over, far less common than is usual. Take away the little tatterdemalions of five years old and upwards who gambolled up and down, over and under the barriers, and mocked and gibed at the windows, and in the face of death, and it was not, by comparison, a disreputably dressed crowd. But its sympathies were es sentially cruel. They hated the hangman more than his victim, and yelled him down accord ingly ; hut had a respite arrived we ffaye y,o sort of doubt that the tide of' Barrett’s popu larity would have summarily ebbed. Much disappointment was expressed by the tavern keepers and window-letters at the smallness of the crowd and the slackness of the demand through the night; and tbe preachers who en ergetically foretold the wrath to come in un broken succession and with nnfailiog lungs' from the north-east corner of the Old Bailey at an early hour; the detectives in plain,clothes who--made up as British yeomen, roughs, fighting men, graziers, and nondescript black guards—hung about and mixed with the mob ; the city policemen in uniform wlm were planted behind gables and in strange angles of thffhonse-roofs, as if to guard against such attempts as those with which Calcraft was threatened at Mancester—were at least as prominent features yesterday morning as Lord Tomnoddies and quasi-aristoeratic sight-seers have been at former executions.” Did the auditor who hung on the speaker’s lips commit suicide.
