Heavy Rain — The River —A Freshet
Apprehended. —Since Friday afternoon,
until 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, this
locality jind its surroundings were visited
with au almost incessant fall of rain, the
only sight obtained of the sun being for a
few minutes about 9 o’clock yesterday
morning. The heavy leaden clonds eclipsed
everything and everybody with a blue devil
film, and the consecutive descent of water,
fast and furious, puddled pavements, cross
ings and streets to the development of
magnificent water privileges wherever the
foot of pedestrian dared to tread, with an
accompaniment of mud and slush that
would have provoked an audible “ dam it"
from a Feejee Island missionary. Under
the effect of this heavy consecutive fall of
rain, as might be expected, the Savannah
river is booming, and some apprehension
was felt that it would overleap its banks
and inundate at least a portion of the most
exposed points of the city. It rose during
the day, yesterday, at the rate of 12 to 14
inches per hour until 3 o’clock, p. m., when
it registered 16 feet at the city bridge, show
ing a clear rise
port. . '
A short time after dark, yesterday even
ing, as if to atone for the ugly weather.of
the day, the moon and stars came out beau
tifully clear and brilliant, and relieved the
apprehensions felt of a threatened deluge.
EATER.
At 10)2 o’clock, last night, our reporter
visited the city bridge, and found the river
still rising rapidly, and marking full 26 feet.
The river, at the foot of Campbell street,
had exceeded its banks, and was trenching
on the street with some alarming rapidity.
At the above hour a force were at work
outlie draw of .the South Carolina Rail
road bridge, providing additional security
against the apprehended consequences of
the freshet to that structure.
The favorable change of the wind,
however, to the west, gave an augury that
the fury of the rain storm had been spent,
and that the city may yet be spared the
damage of a great freshet. The danger
may not yet, however, be fully passed, and
it would perhaps lie well that those in pos
session of bateaus and life-boats should
keep them in readiness.
Tiie steamer Swan arrived at 4:30, p. m.,
Friday, and was to have departed on her
return trip yesterday afternoon, but failed
to get her cargo loaded, in consequence of
the heavy rain, and will probably postpone
Jver trip to Monday.
Girardey’s Opera House.— The au
dieuce last night at the Opera House was
only a fair one, the horrible weather hav
ing prevented many of onr citizens from
venturing out of doors. The sprightly
Opera of Martha was charmingly rendered,
notwithstanding the troupe had to go al
most from the cars to the stage. To our
thinking, Miss McCulloch has a finer voice
than Carlotta Patti. Her voice may, for
all we know, lack somewhat of the Italian
lady’s culture, but, in volume, purity and
clearness, it is superior. Her rendition of
“The Last. Rose of Summer,” both in Ital
ian and English, was a great deal better
than Patti’s “ Coming Thro’ the Rye.”—
After the rest of to-day, we expect noble
things of her performance of Leonora to
morrow night.
Miss Henne* assisted Miss McCulloch
with much grace. ' She has a very pleasing
voice and uses it with much skill and
modesty.
Signor Brignoli has a tenor note that can
soothe the souls in purgatory. What more
need be said ?
Signor Locatfelli acted and sang with ex
cellent taste.
The want of an orchestra was much felt
during the performance, although Signor
Giorza imule as good a substitute as possi
ble of the piano.
We pronounce the Brignoli Troupe a
success, and know that the splendid audi
ence which will assemble at the Opera.-
House to-morrow evening cannot fail of
being delighted with Trovatore.
English Opera.— Mr. A. S. Pennoyer,
Business Manager of Ilichiugs’ English
Opera Company, advises us that four se
lections of Opera will be given in Augusta
by the celebrated troupe he represents.—
Four nights in April, the 13th, 14th, loth
and 16th have been selected for the enter
tainment. In the repertoire of this company
we find “ Martha,” “ Crown Diamonds,”
“ Faimt,” “ Fra Diavolo,” “ Traviata,” “Bo
hemian Girl” and “Maritana.” The leading
spirit of the troupe is the famous Caroline
Richings Bernard, who is entitled to the
honor of founding English Opera in this
country. The other artists assisting her
rank high in their profession. We are as
sured that this is not a mere apology for
Opera, but a full and|efflclent company in
every respect.
Railroad Washes.— ln consequence of
the heavy rain yesterday, causing the
washing of a culvert near Crawfordvllle,
on the Georgia Railroad, the passenger
train on that road due here at 3:45, p. in.,
did not arrive until 6 o’clock.
The passenger train on the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad, due at
9:30 o’clock last evening, could not reach
the city in consequence of the washing of
a portion of the track about three miles
from the city. The full extent of the dam-’
age could not be ascertaiaed up to the
hour of going to press, but it is reported
as amounting to the destruction of at leasj;
fifty or sixty yards of the track, the basis
of which was completely washed away,
leaving the superstructure a mere insecure
■fell.

Plaster at sl7 per ton, arc-
Hfrrmer rates.
Anot&eb Remedy for Meningitis.—
Having already published the views an
nounced by several medical practitioners,
«w to the most successful mode of treat
ment for this terrible malady,, we observe
that Dt. J. J. Robertson, of Washington,
Ga., submits a treatment different to the
systems suggested through our colamns
from other sources.. If doctors are entitled
to their differences, we conceive that the
reading public are likewise entitled to
know something of the reasons which
prompt their diametrically opposite prac
tices. Dr. Robertson says, in writing to a
lady friend and relative in South Carolina:
The disease called Cerobro Spinal Menin
guma improperly named, and hence the im
proper treatment in many cases. It is not in
flammation of the membrane of the spine
and brain, but a mere venous congestion of
the spinal marrow and brain. have
made several post mortem examinations,
and fonnd It the case in every instance.—
The symptoms are very like those of in
flammation of the membranes, I admit, but
treated as such, every case will. prove fa
tal. I have had over a hundred eases; the
first seven cases had died when I was call
ed in consultation. Finding all these had
been treated by depletion and had died, I
at once made an examination of two of the
bodies, and decided to change the plan of
treatment, and it proved a success in near
ly every case.
When the case is first taken, at once shave
the back of the head, and in the most rapid
manner possible, raise a blister from the
back of the head to the end of the spine;
in severe cases I saturate flannel with tur
pentine and apply it and run a hot iron
over it until it festers, or rub on the turpen
tine and set it on fire, or any other way to
produce a bad blister as soon as possible ;
then give quinine in ten grain doses until
forty or sixty grains are taken—give ten
grains every two or three hours; let the
patient drink freely of pepper tea, and also
take a tablespoouful or • two of whisky
every four or five hours, and give him ten
grains of the bromide of potass every six
hours. These doses are for adults. If the
case is a negro, it will require more stimu
lants than a white person, and especially
of red pepper tea.
If the ease is taken in time, this treat
ment will cure nearly every one, but if
neglected for an hour or two, it may fail. I
saw cases bled and they died an hour after;
others were purged and died with symptoms
of cholera ; others had every appearance of
tetanus, or lockjaw. The symptoms and
names given the disease mislead the physi
cian in his treatment.
Superior Court. —The Court convened
yesterday morning, pursuant to adjourn
ment, Judge Gibson presiding.
The time of the Court was occupied in
the determination of civil causes, from the
common law docket, not of general inter
est. 'Three first verdicts were given by the
jury on applications for divorces by plain
tiffs weary of the matrimonial noose, in
thg following cases:

The grand jury made their presentment,
containing many matters of peculiar in
terest to the citizens of the county, not
necessary to refer to here, as the document
is published in full in another column, aud
should receive the perusal of citizens gen
erally, evincing, as it does, that the gentle
men of this grand inquest have addressed
themselves to the discharge of the duties
devolving upon them with full regard to
the promotion of all county interests.
At 3:30, p. m., the Court adjourned to 10
o’clock 011 Monday morning, at which time
the jurors summoned for the second week
of the term are expected to respond prompt

The juries for the first week of the term

Anniversary Celebration. —The Hi
bernian Benevolent Society of Augusta are
making the most complete arrangements
for the fitting celebration of their third
anniversary on Thursday next, St. Pat
rick’s Day. An invitation has been ex
tended to and accepted by Hon. M. P.
O’Connor, of Charleston, to deliver the ad
dress on the occasion at Girardey’s Opera
House, at 12, m.
The pleasures of the celebration are to be
made complete in a magnificent ball and
supper at the Augusta Hotel in the eve
ning, which, from the character of the gen
tlemen composing the committee of ar
rangements, we are satisfied will be a
superb and entirely successful affair. The
committee have our thanks for cards.

,Stumrling Stones. —Those huge boul
ders at the crossing north side of Broad, at
the intersection of Mclntosh street, must
certainly have been intended for ornament;
we don’t understand their utility, unless
they are left there to test the question as
to whether the city would be lia"ble for
damages in case of a broken leg resulting
therefrom to some worthy citizen. They
should be run through a rock-crusher, or
pounded with a sledge. The crossing at
the point indicated need* physic—it is very
unhealthy.
Daily Railroad Communication Be

the Savannah Advertiser we find the an
nouncement that direct daily communica

The following report of Judge bamuel
Levy, Ordinary of Richmond county, made
to the grand jury, the pfcblication of which
that body recommended, covers valnable
information as to county affairs, and will
tie perused with interest by citizens and
tax-payers interested in knowing the educa
tional resources, the condition of the roads
and bridges, and the financial prospects of

taxed to maintain:
Ordinary’s Office, Richmond County, )
Augusta, Ga., February 7,1870. 5
1° the Grand Jury , Richmond-Superior
Court, January Term, 1870.
Gentlemen : I have the honor to report
to your honorable body the following
number of children who attended the free
schools in the year 1869:
First quarter.. ..I,lo7children, 17 teathers.
Second quarter.. 1,141 children, 21 teachers.
Third quarter... .1,214 children, 22 teachers.
Fourth quarter... I,6B6children, 22 teachers.
Besides the above number of teachers,
there are about eight assistant teachers
employed by the principals: no teacher is
permitted to teach more than sixty (80)
pupils without employing assistants.
The subject of a division of the school
fund amongst the teachers of colored
schools in the county has been urgently
pressed upon the attention of the Board.
There are at this time some eight or nine
regularly organized and well conducted
colored schools, with a dally attendance of
pupils ranging from eight to nine hundred.
The teachers conducting these schools
possess all the qualifications required by
law, but by reason of the amount levied
upon the tax of last year, under recom
mendation of previous grand jury, the
Board were unable to receive more than
one of these schools.
The interest of this class of our popula
tion demands your earnest consideration
in determining the rate of tax you shall be
pleased to recommend.
All experience has proven that while it
is the duty of every government to educate
its people it is sound policy for free govern
ment to be earnest and faithful in the dis
charge of that duty.
During the year just closed the pooi
schools in the city and county proper have
been in a generally flourishing condition.
All the schools are supplied with approv
ed text books.
There have been during 1869 (with one
exception,) none but schools for' white
children in operation in this county under
the patronage of the Board of Education.
Last year teachers were examined and
licensed in the presence of the Board of
Education. The same course has been
pursued this year.
Teachers receive seven (7) cents a day for
each pupil in actual attendance. It is a
question for the grand jury, whether or
not, considering the times, that sum is
sufficient.
I also request your honorable body to
appoint a committee to visit the several
county schools. It will afford me great
pleasure to accompany the committee when
visiting the schools.
roads and- bridges.
The attention of your honorable body is
respectfully invited to the following bridges
built by road hands in 1869 :
Ist. Bridge over Spirit Creek, at
John’James’ Mill, ou Murray Mill
road, 39 feet long S7B
2d. Bridge over Spirit Creek, at
Johu Rhodes’ Mill, on Patterson
bridge road, 25 feet long 35 >

feet long, cost 600
sth. Bridge at Richmond Factory,
011 Louisville road, over Spirit
Creek, 240 feet long, cost 550
6th. Bridge on Savannah road, over
Butler’s Creek, 262 feet long, cost. 790
Besides the above, there have been seve
ral small bridges built and repaired, not
above-mentioned.

FINANCES.
In consequence qf having taken charge of
all the poor within the city limits as well
as the county proper, and the tax levied
not providing for a support of the poor
within the city, it will be necessary to bor
row, from time to time, such amount of
money as will be needed nntil the taxes for
the present year can be collected. You are,
therefore, respectfully requested to recom
mend that the Ordinary be authorized to
borrow such amount of money as may be
actually necessary.
The expenses for supporting the paupers
by the city for the last twelve months (12)
has bgen $16,000.
It is the opinion of the undersigned that
the amouflt with proper aud judicious
management can be reduced nearly one-half.

porting paupers for the last twelve (12)
months has been (Including Freedman’s
Hospital) about $5,000, making a total of

The intention of the Ordinary is to mafce

The Paterson Insurance Case in Sa
vannah.
THIRD day’s PROCEEDINGS IN THE SUPE
RIOR COURT.
The Advertiser, of yesterday, says the
Paterson case, as it progresses, seems to
excite increased interest, and the court
room, Friday, was literally packed full all
during the day and until the hour of ad
journment. Counsel on both sides appear
to be thoroughly in earnest, and the case
has thus far been conducted with consum
mate skill.
Court convened at 10, a. m., pursuant to
adjournment.
T. R. Mills, Jr.,sworn and testified—That
Mr. Paterson was at his office during Fri
day before his death, engaged nearly all
day in the answering of interrogatories of
a commission ; that he left his office about
,p. in., to see Mr. Davidson; returned
in a lew minutes, reporting that he did not
find him ; was perfectly sober when he left
his office late in the evening; he pressed
his hand to his side and complained of a
pain there.
Gen. Jackson sworn and testified—That
Mr. Paterson called at his office quite late
on the evening of Friday, the day before
his death ; inquired for Mr. Bassenger ; did
not say xvhat was his business with him ;
he was not under the influence of liquor ;
was perfectly sober, and conversed ra
tionally upon scientific subjects.*
Motion to admit the evidence of Mr. Roahr,
taken before a commission in New York,
as reported by a stenographer, but not
agreed to by- plaiiitiff’s counsel present at
the taking of the depositions, as the finding
of the commission was made and argued.
Counsel for plaintiff objected on the
ground of its irregularity, and for the
reason that the evidence of the . same wit
ness was before the court, regularly taken
before commissioners and agreed to by both
parties.
Counsel for defense urged the admission
of the evidence, on the ground of the exist
ence of a conspiracy, evidence’of the exist
ence of which being already before the
jury, ou the additional ground that this
witness had perjured himself, and under
such circumstances every act of a co
couspi ratur must be admitted as evidence
against each and all of them. Counsel in
dulged in a lengthy and elaborate review
of the evidence already before the court,
going to establish the impression of a con
spiracy.
Pendiug the motion, Mr. Mills was re
called, and testified : “Mr. Roahr was also
examined before the commission at my
office. I next saw him ou his return from
Augusta ; he called at my office before he
went to his room; asked me about the
case, and inquired what effect upon it the
death of Mr. Paterson would have. He
told me Mr. Paterson had left a will
making Mrs. P. his executor. He also
asked me what effect the circumstances of
his death would have upon the insurance.
I told him I did not know.” „
Court ruled that the evidence taken be
fore the regular commission must first be
introduced—the question attacking it, or
introducing counter evidence of the same
witness, to be decided afterward.
The interrogations and answers of Roahr
were then read, giving witness’ account of
the death of Mr. Paterson, and attending
circumstances, his relations to both parties,
and much other matter. At the conclusion
of the reading, the original motion was
made, to introduce a witness to prove that
Mr. Roahr had made statements contrary
to some contained in the deposition. Ob
jection being made by counsel for plaintiff,
motion was withdrawn.
Dr. Harris sworn, and testified as an
expert in regard to the effects of an over
dose of laudanum.
Gen. Wayne sworn, for the plaintiff—On
the 12th of May I saw deceased, and judged
he wijs laboring under the iuflueqce qf li
quor or opium, and on learning his death,
concluded it must have resulted from de
lirium tremens; he seemed in an unnatural
state of excftemeLt on the day in question;
his business difficulties were great at the
time, and I attributed the excitement in a
measure to it.
Mr. Robert Saussy sworn for the plain
tiff—l knew the plaintiff and Mr. Pater
son ; they bore the relations of husband
and wife; I first made the acquaintance of
the parties during the war; Mrs. P. visit
ed the hospitals in Richmond frequently;
I was a sick soldier at the time, and the
object of her eleemosynary attention and
assistance; I afterward visited them at
Augusta, &t New York, and at their home
iu Savannah; knew them both intimately;
Dr. Paterson told me himself that pres
sure of business detained him from going
to New York Thursday, and he requested
me to change liis tickets and staterooms
for the Saturday steamer; I saw Dr. Pat
erson the night before hjs death; about
eleven o’clock on Friday before his death I
W as in nis room ;he came in and express
ed himself as weary, threw off his coat and
vest; took a drink of liquor; he said it
was rum; Mr. Roahr drank witli him; I
declined, butj took a cigar; after stopping
perhaps fifteen minutes, I bid him goqd
night, and departed; did not see him again
until Saturday; drove with Dr. Fish to
the Pavilion on that day ; in the morning
1 received a note to come to the Pavilion ;
called at Dr. Paterson’s room, and on
learning his condition, went immediately
to Dr.'Flsh. Went for Dr. Fish because he
was the family physician, and, ex
pressed it, Dp. Paterson might be apgry
when he recovered to find so much fuss
had been made over his illness.
Witness was asked if he knew anything
of Mr. Paterson’s habits; if he was a
drinking man.
Reply—l have frequently seen him drink
and have been asked to take a drink with
him. On one occasion I was in his room
and he said he wanted a drink bad, and,
pointing tq lemons, sugar, etc., asked me to
mix him one, which I did. He then said,
in a jocular, confidential way, he had been
on a spree or frolic with Mr. Davidson the
night before. •
Mr. Roahr and myself accompanied the
remains of Dr. Patersqn to Augusta. No
other friend offered to do so, tq my knowl
edge.
Witness explained in relation to the
certificate of Dr. Fish, that Mr. Paterson
had died from overdose of laudanum ; that
he had procured it, and had been the sole
custqdian of it. Mrs. Paterson, never hav
ing seen it until the morning on which
they left Augusta to return to Savannah;
tbfb he had propuretl the certificate not
knowing what might be required by the
coroner or sexton, or proper authority there
in obtaining a burial permit; that on Mon
day, the day on which Mr. Geo. Paterson
called to see Mrs. P. at Augusta, Roahr
said to witness, “ Mrs. Paterson is laboring
under a mistake as to the death of her hus
band ;” that he then gave Roahr the certi
ficate and he showed it to Mrs. Paterson,
which, was the first intimation she had had
of. its existence or purport; on coming
down, also on going up, Mm. Paterson was
almost helpless from exhaustion of mind
and body; she walked the floor a good part
of the night in Augusta.
Cross-examined—lt was after breakfast,
op Saturday morning, that I visited the
Pavilion; I went instanter to Dr. Fish; I
waited at his office till be came; lam quite
positive I saw upon his slate an order of
Mr. Noe’s to call at the Pavlllion; as I had
come upon tke same errand I erased it.
Mrs. Paterson sworn and testified—l was
married to Dr. Paterson 21st July,. 1860; he
died at 12, ip., on Saturday, the. 16th of
May; we lived as man and wife from mar
riage-till his death. Witness then stated
in narrative from the circumstances attend
ing his death, also of the day before, in a
dear, distinct and most intelligible man
ner, without eqnivocation or correction,
corroborating in all material points the
evidence of Mr. Noe and other witnesses
In regard to Dr. Talbert, Mrs. Paterson
testified that the first intimation she had
that he was still alive was in July, 1868,
some months after the death of Dr. Pater
son, and if was then called to her attention
by those who were resisting her appoint
ment as executrix of Dr, Paterson.
Dr. Fish was recalled and testified—Did
not see any call on the slate at my office
previous to 10, a. m.; never had occasion to
caution Dr. B: from use of spirits, as I never
considered him a drinking man.
Solicitor General Smith sworn as to
cause of entering nolle prosequi in the case
of the State vs. Mrs. Paterson, for murder.
Cross-examined—Did not counsel for
Mrs. Paterson urge a trial; did they not
offer to admit as true everything claimed
by pros. ; they could prove by absent- wit
nesses f They did.
Mr. Nicholson sworn —Saw Dr. Paterson
at 2, p. m., the day before his death; be was
as sober as yon are.
Question—Jsy a juror—Did you ever know
him to indulge in drink? I supposejhe would
take a drink if he wanted it, the same as
you would.
At half-past five, the evidence being all
in, the court directed counsel to proceed
with the arguments.
General Jackson, on behalf of the de
fense,'opened argument, prefacing with
certain propositions of law, which, if es
tablished by* ’ the evidence in the case,
would vititiate as he contended the policy
of insurance-. First, that under the laws
oi Georgia, this policy of insurance is void,
regardless of the accidents of the death ;
that being a mutual company, it is its
duty to the policy holders for the Equita
ble Life, where a question ari»es before the
criminal tribnnals ot the country, to refuse
payment until such .question is settled.
The pecular-circumstances under which
this indictment was brought to trial were
reviewed at length. Because of these cir
cumstances, this legal investigation has
been brought about, and the insurance
company, convinced that this is a case
where the insurance should not be paid,
invoke the protection of the laws. The
law of insurance demands that an insura
ble interest must subsist with the party
for whose benefit the policy is issued. Con
siderations of sound public policy have
established the law, both in Europe and
this country, that Mr. Patterson, in act
ing as her agent iu taking out the policy
and keeping it alive by paying the pre
miums upon if, his actions concluded her
that her interest could only be what
he represented it to be, and any mis
representations or concealments as to this
interest violated the policy.
The principle announced to the jury,, if
any variationgywere produced by the mis
statements oßunissions of Paterson in
creasing the rft then the policy is void
Copious legal *thori ties were then intro
duced bearingirton the legal propositions
announced.

Taxes on- Georgia Wild Lands.
CoMPTBOifrER General’s Office, )
AtA'anta, March 1,1870. j
To Ilis Excellency Rufus B. Bullock,govern
or of Georgia.
Sir: The list of unreturned lands for
forty comities has been completed and
turned over to me by the clerk appointed
to do that work. The list is a very large
one, embracing about t\vo million and sixtv
eight thousand acres of nnreturned wild
lands in the forty counties. Section 874
of the Code requires this office, when the
list is completed, to advertise the same for
sixty days in one newspaper in each Con
gressional District- The list being so
large, I deemed it my duty to seek
infonafttiovfcyo -Hke probable cost of pub
lication, and ifpon Id inquiry, I learn, from
au old and experienced printer, that it will
cost from twelve to fifteen hundred dol
lars to advertise it in one paper as the law
requires, and that the entire cost of adver
tising it iu seven papers for sixty days,
will nut be less than ten thousand dollars.
Considering the great expense to the State
thus likely to be incurred, and compara
tively small amount of revenue that will
be derived from the tax upon these lands
(they being unimproved, apd the, average
price so little) I have deemed it proper to
request your Excellency to suspend the
collection of the tax upon these unreturn
ed wild lands for 1868 nntil the meeting
of the Legislature, when I propose to lay
the subject before that body, with the view
of exhibiting the great expense likely to
be incurred’bycomplying with the require
ments of the present law in regard to ad
vertising these lands, and for the purpose,
if practicable, of eliciting some other plan
for bringing these lands into market with
less expeuse tq tye State. Li my judg
ment, to carry out the present law, would
cost the State several thousand dollars
more than the- tax would amount to when
collected.
Very respectfully,
Madison Bell,
Comptroller General.
Executive-Department, 2
Atlanta, Georgia, March 4,1870. j
By virtue of the authority vested in me
by section 70 of the Code of Georgia, the
tax upon the wild and unimproved lands
that were not returned for taxation for the
year 1868 is hereby suspended until the
next meeting of the General Assembly of
this State, and the Comptroller General
will, for the reasons given in his commu
nication of the first instant, desist from
advertising the list of said lands, with a
view to their being sold, until the time
mentioned. Rufus B. Bullock,
Governor.

PLANTATION BITTERS AS AN APPE
TISER.—Want of appetite is a snre sign that
the stomach is out of order. All persons in
perfect health relish their food, and it may be
regarded as a rule to which there are no excep
tions, that individuals who are never hungry
can not be entirely well. To eat without en
joyment is a penance, and sustenance taken
into the stomach against the inclination does
not nourish the system as it ought to do. The
best known remedy for a distaste or disinclina
tion for food is Plantation Bitters. A wine
glassinl taken half an hour before breakfast,
dinner, or supper, qniekens the flow of gastric
juice, and thereby provokes hunger, for the
palate sympathizes with the stomach. Nor
can the appetite thus created be called a false
appetite, for it is a legitimate consequence of a
new energy imparled to the digestive organs
by this wholesome medicated stimulant.

Cheap Lands. —The Charleston News
reports that, on Thursday, 935 acres of the
Irdle Grove tract, in St. John’s Berkeley,
and two other plantations near by—one of
600 and the other of 500 acres—were pur
chased at public sale for $1,041.' A North
ern capitalist was the purchaser.
A Gkobs Outrage.—' The Greenville
Mountaineer says: “A white man, while,
passing a party of colored school children
yesterday, fired into the group with a
pistol, inflicting a serious wound upon the
person of Louisa Waddill. This brutal
act, we understand, was committed en
tirely without provocation. Two parties
have been arrested, but it is uncertain
whether either of them was the perpetrator
of the deed.”
The Whisky Raiders.— The Greenville
Mountaineer says: “A ehort time since a
small body of Government troops, accom
panied by the revenue assessor and other
civil officers of the Government in this
county, made a trip towards the moun
tains, and succeeded, in a short time, in
discovering and destroying between thirty
and forty stills, four of which were in the
adjoining county of Pickens. Several of
the parties charged with distilling were
arrested and held to answer at the next
court. No resistance was offered to the
operations of the officers.
Whittemore Burned. —-The Sumter
Jfeics says: “We extract the following
from a private letter from Timmonsville,
dated the Ist instant: On Friday night
last, an effigy of B. F. Whittemore, with
carpet-bag iu hand, was hung by the neck
and afterwards burned, just as the train
rolled up. Cards were pinned to the fig
ure. having in large letters such inscrip
tions as the following:. ‘ West Point,’ • The
end of a carpet-bagger,’ ‘To what an end
I come at last,’ ‘ $5,000 stolen,’ &c- Not a
siugle descendant of Ham was to be seen,
nor a whitewashed one.”
The Columbia Canal.— The Columbia
(S. C.) correspondent of the Charleston
News writes to that journal:
Senator Sprague’s agent, Colonel Pearce,
empowered his sub-agent, Mr. Hoyt, to
commence work on the famous Columbia
Canal just before the first of March. Mr.
Hoyt took five negroes with hand shovels,
and they shoveled for two days, when the
work was again suspended. Now we are
told that there must be some delay, in order
to get on the necessary tools to complete
the job of widening the canal. Colonel
Pearce remained here several days. A few
weeks will show whether this work is to
go on honestly, or this second grand
Sprague movement is a sham. This 1
know officially, that Senator Sprague’s
agent refused to give any bonds at all, and
now stands without a dollar’s forfeit, except
the nominal sum of S2OO paid for the job. ’

Washington, March 12- Noon.—Troops
will be sent to Tennessee to aid the revenue
officers in the enforcement of the laws.
Washington, March 12—P. M.—The
Democrats of the Senate are in accord with
neither the Bullock nor Bcyant party, and
their action on Bingham's amendment is
somewhat doubtful, unless Georgia Demo
crats, who, they say, have kept aloof, take
some action in the matter. The fate of the
amendment is doubtful unless Democratic
Senators vote for the bill as it came from
the House. It will be remembered that the
Democrats of the House voted for the
amendment, but they en masse voted against
the Georgia bill as amended, and the Demo
crats of the Senate seem inclined to vote
the same way unless supported by some
positive demonstration from the Georgia
Democrats.
Dispatches from Admiral Poor mention

terview with the Provisional President and
Cabinet of Hayti, and explained, that pend
ing present negotiations between the
United States and San Domingo, this Gov
ernment would protect Dominicans against
any hostile power. The Haytieu authori
ties hoped friendly relations between the
United States and Hayti would not be in
terrupted, and while aware of their weak
ness, knew their rights and would protect
them to the best of their ability, and that
they must be allowed to be judges of their
own policy.
Poor heard, unofficially, that the authori
ties were displeased with what they con
sidered the menacing attitude or the United
States,
Rumors, which proved unfounded, of a
collision between a United States and a
