A Precedent for Porter.
A writer in the Savannah News consoles
and advises Admiral Porter. Thus:
It seems that when Gen. Houston was
the President of Texas, he, like Gen. Grant
of this day, took special interest in the
elections. One of his friends had conferred
with him, and they had agreed that he
should represent a county in the Legisla
ture. .Afterwards another and more in
fluential friend of Houston became a can
didate for the same office. The General, in
order to promote the election of the latter
candidate, wrote “o private letter ” de
nouncing the first candidate in the bitter
est terms, and declaring that his election
would be a disgrace to the State. Unfortu
nately, his “private letter" fell into the
hands of the first candidate.
Gen. Houston, always holding the same
duplicity that has been exploded in the
Admiral, and being very careful of his pop
ularity, went on a visit of a week to his
first friend, whom he had denounced, and
cherished him with every good wish and
friendship, all the time he remained under
his roof. At length the time for departure
came, and they went together to the stage
road, where a final farewell was to take
place. Whilst waiting for the stage the
gentleman produced “ the private letter" in
which Houston had abused him so im
measurably, and presented it for his peru
sal. Gen. Houston placed his glasses on
his nose and read it without moving a
muscle, and turning to bis injured, deceived
and abused friend, he exclaimed: “Is it
possible I could have been so d—d drunk as to
have written such a letter / / /”
Death of a Legislator. —The body of
Daniel Kinsler, Esq., a Democratic mem
ber of the Legislature from Lexington
county, was found on Sunday in a by-road,
near Horse Pond, about two miles from
Congaree Perry. As he was expected
home on Saturday, and did not arrive,
search was made for him, and his hat was
found; continuing the search, his body
was discovered nearly half a mile off. No
marks of violence were observed. A jury
was summoned, and an inquest was to have
been held yesterday. Mr. Kinder was en
gaged in merchandizing in Columbia for a
number of years, but retired to his farm in
Lexington about the year 1854, where he
has since resided. He was selected a mem
ber of the Legislature by the Democrats at
the late election.— Columbia (8. 0) Phoenix.

Serious Shooting Affray. — We regret
much to have to record one of those unfor
tunate affairs which will sometimes happen
in the best regnlated communities. It oc
curred at the National Hotel about dusk
yesterday afternoon. It seems a Mr. 8.
Howell, who for a day or two passed has
been drinking freely, while going down
Whitehall street, spied a bag of peanuts,
and for a iark, slung them over his shoulder,
and made for the National Hotel. He went
through the billiard room and finding a
negro named Jesse, in the back part of the
bouse, he sainted him by hitting him on
the head with the bag of peanuts. The
darkey, not fully appreciating that sort of
civility, pushed him aside. He at once went
up to his room, and coming down imme
diately, having got his pistol, he commenc
ed what would appear to be an indiscrimi
nate fire at the negroes. His first shot
struck Ransom Miller in the arm and pass
ing through it struck William Lawrence
in the wrist; a second shot hit Jesse iu the
arm also, near the elbow ; the ball went
upward, infliction a wound that is likely to
cost the poor fellow his arm. Howell
escaped, and up to this writing has not
been heard of. —Atlanta Era , Ydth.

The Cost of Living. —The fact that the
proprietor of a restaurant in New York
procures a large portion of his supply of
fresh vegetables from England, aud finds
that, after paying freight, tariff duties,
charges, and other expenses, he obtains
them from 15 to 20 per cent, cheaper than
he can purchase them in the home market,
has set inquiries on foot as to the reasons
for this difference. The Herald attributes
it to the existence of a class of “ middle
men,” who buy from the producer cheaply
and sell to the consumer at the highest
rates which a system of close and com
bined speculation can command. Their
transactions are common to all large cities,
and permeate almost every department of
the provision trade—meats, fl >nr, butter,
eggs, Ac—and the effects are visible in the
exorbitant prices consumers are compelled
to pay for nearly every article they pur
chase. There appears to be no remedy, un
less it would be to establish more intimate
and direct relations than now exist between
the producer and consumer.
An Extraordinary Preacher. —ln
Memphis, Tenn., whire Rev. A. B. Earle
has been preaching lately, no church in
the city would hold the crowds that flocked
to hear him, and the congregation had to
adjourn to the Opera House. This holds
so ne three thousand; but it was filled to
its utmost capacity. In Raleigh, where
Mr. Earle is now preaching, the Baptist
Church, the largest in the city, is entirely
inadequate to hold the crowds that throng
to the preaching. Remarkable revivals
have attended Mr. Earle’s preaching in
both cities. The days of Whitfield and of
John Lelaud seem to be coming again.
Mr. Earle is to be here in a few days to
assist Mr. Hiden in a meeting, to begin
on Sunday morning, 18th instant, in the
First Baptist Church.
[ Wilmington (AT. 6.) Journal.
Fire and Loss of Ltfe in Chester
field County.— We learn from the Che
raw (S. C.) Democrat that the dwelling of
Mr. Fruuklin Hancock, in that county,
near Hornsboro, was burned on Saturday,
the 3,1 instant, and that his youngest child,
about two years of age, perished in the
flames. Mr. Hancock lost his entire stock
of provisions, furniture, clothing, Ac. The
Are is supposed to have been accidental.
Both the parents were absent at a neigh
bor’s, and only their two children (one two
aud the other six years old) were on the
premises. Assistance arrived too late to
save the youngest child or any of the fur
niture. The eldest child was unable ’to
give any account of the origin of the Are.
The French Press—Opera Bouffe
and France. —The Courrier des Etas Unis
hauls the Herald over the coals for an arti
cle published on Wednesday, in which the
French reverses are credited to the in
fluences of Opera Bouffe. The editor says :
Ah ! we do nothing but opera bouffe, and
we lack unity, and we are degenerated be
cause opera bouffe has demoralized us!
France had fourteen armies under arms.
Paris lias but one; but that one is made up
of 500,000 men, and it was created in two
months iu the heart of Paris. Is that the
result of opera bouffe?
Repeal op the Income Tax.—The jour
nals of the country, with scarcely an ex
ception, express the hope that this odious
tax will be swept from the sta'ute book
without delay, and the California Senators
are commended for bringing in bills with
that end in view, and at the very beginning
of the session. It is noted gladly that both
Democrats and Republicans engage in this
work. When the income tax was first
enacted as a war measure, the representa
tives of both parties voted for it; and now
that it is to be repealed, the measure should
not have anything of a party character.
Fire in Lexington.— The Lexington (S.
C) Dispatch, of the 9th instant, says: “ A
fire occurred last Tuesday night on the
premises known as the Samuel Wingard
place, on fourteen mile creek, about two
miles from our town. We have not been
aide to learn the full particulars of the
origin of the fire, but have been informed
that the flames spread to all the adjacent
wooden buildings on the premises, and to
tally consumed the same. The houses
were occupied by colored people.”
We regret to see that Col. Wier Boyd
lias announced nimself as an independent
Democratic candidate for Congress in the
Sixth District of Georgia, against Col.
Price, the Democratic nominee. It would
be bad enough for any Radical to succeed
in that District through Democratic
divisions; but for the notorious John A.
Wimpy to slip in that way would be dis
graceful and mortifying iudeed.
[Columbus Enquirer.
The First Colored Representative.
—Jos. H. Rainey, who will take his seat in
the present Congress, having been elected
to fill the place of M. Whittemore, as Rep
resentative from the First Congressional
district of South Carolina, aud who is the
first colored mau who has held such a posi
tion in this country, was born in George
town, D. C., in June, 1832. He is conse
quently in his 30th year.
Destructive Fire in Chattanooga —A
destructive conflagration occurred at Chat
tanooga on Thursday morning. The houses
occupied by DeLong & Son, George Byron,
A. Bohr, Miss Kstter, E. A. Cramer, and
Mr. Adlem were destroyed. Losses amount
to something over $13,000. Supposed to
be the work of an incendiary.
Bnow. —The mountains north and west
of Walhalla have been white with snow

from them have seemed more like February

abundance, and real mid-Winter weather
[Kernee (8. C.) Courier.
Death of a Distinguished Baptist
Divine.—The Rev. Dr. Welch died at his
residence, near Albany, N. Y., on the 9th
instant, aged 76. He was one of the best
known and most eloquent clergymen in
the Baptist denomination.
Rev. Dr. Stone, of San Francisco, visited
all the brothels in the city one night to get
items ior a sermon. Among other items he
obtained a black eye, and had to pay for
sixteen bottles of wine, which the girls
ordered at his expense. He took up a col
lection for the heathen to pay for the wine.
