Ia UIIEE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That The
~ Public Taxes and Officers Fees in the
county of Berkeley, for the year 1894, are due
and in our hands for collection. We are
bound under the law 10 account for the Taxes
and Fees by certain period. which being

sary that we should De prompt in making the
collections. 1t is hoped that the general know

OF our having to distrain the property of any

FROM GREECE.


The latest intelligence Of the move.
ments of the Turkish feet we believe,
(says the Boston Coufier,)is contained In
letters received in That city from Smyrna,
dated May 22d, at which time ii was
stated that the feet was al Salonlca, tor
the purpose Of taxing on board $4,000
troops. A London paper furnishes the
following particulars of nearly as late
date:
Letters this morning have been receiv-
ed from Saonica, which ADVISE the arri-
val 10 the Gulph, which bears that name,
Of The Turkish fleet, consisting 10 all OF
nearly sixty ships.
1t was reported that it would be Joined
by thirty transports, having 5000 troops
on beard, and then proceed against some
OF the most poweriuI islands in the Archi-
pelago. This force, 10 addition TO the
troops expected from Smyrna and Egypt,
will again render the Ottomans iormida>
BILE TO The Christians; and unless there
should be more unity amongst the Grecian
chieftains. the successful finish OF the war
may be more distant than the favorable
conclusion OF the last campaign led the
friends Of GreciaD independence to expect.
Jealousy has hitherto prevented the reduc.
ton OF the fortress OF Patras, and of the
Castles OF Lepanl"; and as the Turkish
feet will now probsbly supply these gar
r!sons with provisions and military stores
q considerable period may still intervene
before the barbarians be entirely expelled
from the MoIea.

THE Usage MURDERERS.

ARKANSAS, June 99.-Five Usage In-
dams, being the principal leaders of the
band who murdered Major Welborn and
party ia November last, were brought to
this place, from Cantonment Gibson, on
Friday last, by Capt. Phibrick, with a
guard OF U S. soldiers. Six Indians had
been given up by The Osages, as stated in
our last paper, but one OF them made his
escape from Capt. Phjlbrick, on the first
night after leaving the Cantonment. 1t is
thought, however, that he will be imme.
dIately given up Oh his return to the ma
ton, as the Osages are very much alarm.
at the measures which have been taken to
compel them to surrender the Inurderers.
The prisoners were delivered to the
Acting Governor of this Territory, and
are POW confined 10 the Jail 10 thus place.
Their trial tor murder will take place IN
October next.

HOW TO CATCH THE PIRATES

Mr.. Editor-lf your newspaper folks,
who are forever telling pirate stories, could
con,rive ,ome way to catch the rascals, |
think you would do some good. am
sometimes of opinion that you would be
willing to have one vessel taken week
and all hands murdered, merely for the
sake OF telling the story
Now, sir, don't profess TO know much
about these matters; but IN my humble
opinion, if had good vessel, with TWEEN
ty-ive or thirty real American seamen on
board OF her, we'll armed, could catch
more pirates within given time, than all
Commodore Porter's squadron, unless they
succeed better than they have yet. And
how would | go to work? Why, I'D put
on board cargo of snowy goods, and sail
for Matanzas without delay.-When got
within the latitude OF the pirates, I'D or
der my men below, and go below myself;
so that when the bloody Gag hove in sight,
nobody should appear OH deck except the
sailors belonging 10 the vessel; and they
should make of With her as fast as possi-
BILE. only take care to be overhauled a,
last. Then, sir, I'D be on deck 10 less
than half a minute, and give the rascsls
such an experience OF cold lead as they me-
yer bad before. This game d follow up
till they begged hard Tor quarter. Or if
they choose 10 board US, so much the bet
Ter. We'd drop off their heads as fast as
they could tall ihto salt water In this
way. if couldn't catch more pirates in
fortnight thau the President could pardon
in three weeks. I'D agree, before hand,
neither to eat pork nor drink moiasses for
one year after the date OF my commission.
y Yours. A YANKEE.

NEW YORK ERECT!

We have just received a letter from a
member of the New York Legislature, which
confirms the opinion we have heretofore
held, beyond the possibility of doubt, that
JOIN Quincy ADAMS wiH receiue the rotes of
that STATE. We attach the more importance
% this letter, as it is written by one of the ma
jority who voted to censure the Governor, and
that vote has been claimed by the Crawford
ties as the test of their strength. The letter is
dated Sept. 6, 1924, and we make the follow
ing extract.
"DEAR SIR
"Much having been said about the votes of
this State, and some having supposed that the
last meeting of the Legislature had given
proof tina: the friends of Mr. Crawford were
majority, can assure you, Sir, that is not the
case. There is handsome majority in the
Legislature opposed to MIR. Crawford and
although do not think any one Candidate has
majority of the whole, yet DO KNOW
that MIR. Adams has more than any other one.
and he WILL, MOST CERTAINLY, GET
THE VOTES OF THIS STATE"
The writer also says, that s'not less than
twenty-five of those who voted to censure the
Governor are opposed to Crawford" and
adds in conclusion, &C have taken unwearied
pains to ascertain the strength of parties, and
am confident that am correct"
