FOR HF.NAHtII Jtriil JUMTHKT. 8. C. LAMKIN, or oou'riu, FOR BF.PUIXF.NTAI IVZI RICHMOND HARRIS. A great ninny people a>e an near ML Veeuriua an they care to be. The local columns of the Augusta ( hronicle announced that the wheel* of the Augusta Factory would be turning yesterday. It ia thought by some that ninny of the mill operative* in Augusta are in about aa destitute condition an the Charleston aufferera. The Auguata Chronicle, Macon Telegraph ami Atlanta Constitution have displayed considerable enter prise during the past week in giving full details concerning the earthquake Up to yesterday re|x>rts wore that everything is quieting down in Charleston and relief ia pouring in from all quartern. The shocks are far apart and very light It is to be ' ho|icd that all danger has passed. Une of the Hkntinki. gang, in com pany with a prominent citizen of Harlem, started to Charleston last Saturday evening, but on arriving in Augusta concluded from surround- I ings to accept reports as facts without further investigation. Whatever else may bo said of com positors on a daily newspa|>er, and however little they may lie esteemed, OU. i- ’ll. lay down "stick and rule' in the face of impending danger, the outside world will know very little of what is transpiring. From the tax digest of this county we learn that the return of taxable property among the colored popula tiou ia about behind hist year. Thia is caused Dy a decrease in stock. Tbs conaolidaUsl decrease ia |li 805 over last year. Many people in thia section of the State became terrified at each repeat sd shock of the earthquake and very many doubtless were led to pray within the last week that never utter ed a syllable of serious prayer lieforo It ia to be ho|>ed that spiritual and lasting gisst will acme from the im pressive acene by which we are sur munded. Notwithstanding the severe shis-ks which the printers on the Augusta Chronicle received in common with the whole city, they nerved themselves up to the sticking point And thereby enabled the "old reliable" to give its readers oom pie te details concerning the terrible catastrophe during the past week. But such conduct is only characteristic of such n corps of printers aa are employed on that pa per, many of whom wo know person ally. They have proven themselves equal to emergencies on occasions other than the scenes of the earth quake. In grateful acknowledgment of the •xpremiona of wpiqiathv coming to Charleston from all over the country, the News and Ocurier says: This is one of the great and moat important lemon* of the earthquake, and one that will not be loot nor forgotten.— A* the land bei.eath our feet ia one. thia people ia onp. The shock of wai broke the bonds that so long united ue together; the shock of the mighty foroea of nature has nerved to show to ousalvee bow strongly, how firmly, ana beat of all. bow kindly the bonds of the olden time have once more knit together. Never again, let us hope and pray will they be severed by any cauae of force or folly in the yean to cotue. The Fear of Death.

Mr Editor In your i**no of the stb in*t., j 1 an miHignrtl' MeM*cng<-r, " giving an account of the killing of Milton ( rawlord (col.) : ion the BOth of July. "McMMciigcr” i* right when he aay* that ('rawford wk* *hot and i killed by an unknown party. Griff (’only (col,) wm arre*tod udoii *ii*pieioii and brought Ih-lotc iny*« If and Mr Kendrick who are l*»th magistrate*, in Columbia county. The nmercutor in the cam made every effort, i together with other white citizemi of the ominty, t<» find out the guilty party. 'l’bere Were alwnit forty witueaar* aummotied and sworn, and affer a fair ami ini|>artial trial, time waa not a particle of evidence brought •mt l*-fore the court to connect (’only with the killing of Crawford. I will here state that I every wiluea* aworu wa* in l»ehaif of the State. It aveina to me that if ('only had been connect ed with the killing, tliat out of ao many witiH'Maca, there would have been aonie evi dence brought out to implicate him. i “Meaavngrr'* aaya that one witm-aa stated "that he waa afraid to tell all he km w aUmt the matter. He said that he waa atraid of the whit<- men. Griff had a strong barker and all the colored jwoplr are afraid of him.” A* to "M< aavngvr*** atatenivnt almut tin 1 alx>ve stated w lines* aw earing "that hr was afiaid to tell all he knew alnnit the niftttt r” IH-raiiae "he was afraid of the whitr people,” 1 moat emphatically deny What he ri'fiincd to swear had no reh retire U« Cotth at al). Saul witnusa swore he saw tracks leading to and from the place where ( iaw ford was killed.

The reason why witness n fusod t<» tell, was nut l»ecauee he waa afraid of lh<- white |»eeple, but to the contrary. A» to Grist having a "strong lacker” lie has a nuinlx-r of white friruds. Whrf B< cauae hr baa provun himself worthy of n-navl and esteem by hia honesty and up rightness of character. If the ndorei! people were as much int«>rest ed aa the whites, it would not be long I* tore the guilty party would be brought to jurticv. The Governor has offered a rewardot FJ50.00 for the arrest of the guilty party with pn*»f to convict In jnatn'e to Conly *1 ask you to published the above. S. T. Flobkxcb. Grovetown, (ia.
