Taunton was murdered in the town of Lam
ier Macon county, by Robert L. Downing.
The difficulty between them was ola triv-

had made on a game called "Fox aud
Geese" when Downing drew pistol and
shot Taunton through the lower part of The

The trial Of Downing came on before
Judge Taylor, OH Thursday last, at the
regular term ofthe Superior Court of Ma

Whena Christian People feel themselves

it becomes them to humble themselves un-

10 recognize his righteous government over
The children of men, TO acknowledge His
goodness in time past, as well as their own
unworthiness, and TO supplicate His mercl-
full protection for the future.

be acting in conformity with the general

People oflhe United States, of every reli-

observe a day of Fasting and Prayer, by
such religious services as may be suitable
on the occasion; and recommend FRI

that purpose; to the end that, on that day,
we may all, with one accord, join in hum

Strange BuSincSs.-The last number of
the Brother Jonathan, gives The following
statement Of The forseries, committed by a
late member of Congress:
The Hon. Charles +. Mitchell, of Lock-
port, aud Representative Of the Niagara
district, in the laIe Congress, has been
staying at the Astor House for some days,
but left on Wednesday morning for Phil
adelphia.
On Tuesday he was in Wall street, and
having procured himself to be introduced
to several Brokers, passed upon them sun
dry checks, purporting 10 be drawn by the
Bank of Orleans a, Albion, on the State
Bank at Albany. They were all made
payable to "rhe Hon. Chas. r. Mitchell,
or ortler," and by him endorsed. The
amount was, as far as has been ascertain
ed, Sl400. The checks, having been sent
up to Albany, came back as forgeries. At
the same lime there came on from Phila-
delphia, sundry checks Of the Bank of Or
leans on the Mechanics Bank of This city,
endorsed by Mitchell, which on being pre-
senteI at the Bank, were declared to be
forgeries.
The amoun, presented, so far, is $500.
The checks seem 10 have been sold to va.
rious Brokers in Philadelphia OH Wednes
day. The whole affair seems to be The re-
suit of thoroughly disested plan, and TO
have been carried out without exciting the
least suspicion on The part Of any ofthe in

The Mineral Wealth Of S. C.-We have
been favored with the sight Of Repor,
submitted by Committee, TO the Stock
holders of the South Carolina Manufac.
turing Company, which is engaged in the
manufacture ofIron, in Spartanbursh Dis
trict. This Company, the Report Informs
US, took possession Of ifs works, then IN
very incomplete state, in November 1884
From that time to November 1885, the
Stockholders paid in $4,000; and since
then they have not paid in another dollar,
except from the profits of the works. They
are engaged actively tiu making iron of all
sorts, castings and nails. They had been
in operation, from Nov. 1884, to Jan. 1871
six years and two months, and in that time
under their energetic aud skiliul manager
MIR. William Clarke, they have paid up
from the profits o The business, S70,0 600 to-
wards their capital, making it now slOo,-
900 paid in. They made, during the year
1910, $4,000 worth Of iron castings and
nails, and declared nett profit on their
business, for the year, of S26,692 2l, OF
more than 26 per cent.-Thc operations
ofthe present year, we understand, promise
equally well.
Mr.. Clark may be said to be the found
er of new branch Of industry amongst
US. He has, by extraordinary perseverance,
and devotion to business, joined with very
accurate knowledge Of all the operations
connected with ii, succeeded beyond any
other person amongst us, in developing
sources of wealth, as valuable 10 the pub
lie, as they have proved remuneralius to
those associated with him.-We are graft
fed TO learn that he has lately become
largely interested in the Nesbit Iron Works,
situated at the head Of navigation on the
Broad River, of which he has the manage
ment, and where his sphere OF operations
will be greatly enlarged.
Every one must feel pleasure in the sue
cess of undertakings so intimately connect
ed with the welfare of the country. In
peace, we can procure our supplies of iron
elsewhere, by sending our money abroad
for them, which is better we should retain
at home, to reward our own industry in its
fair competition but it is in time Of war
that we shall realise the immense value of
these works. Iron enters iuto every bust
ness Of liGe-ministers to every art and
employment. 1t is necessary to peaceful
industry, as it is indispensable for our de-
fence. In case of a warwith England our
coasts is liable to blockade, we may be
thrown entirely on our own founderies for
the means of defending ourselves, and we
therefore doubly rejoice in seeing such re-
sources developing themselves.-South

Deficiency Of oresept crop. 3lI,s6o
II appears from this that the receipts OF
March, 1871, have fallen short Of March
1910, by 100000 bales, which indicates
that the crop is nearly exhausted, for
March is ever a brisk mouth, and the
navigation for the greater part of ii has
been good. The freshet may have had
some influence, hut for very brief space.
lu short, the prospect ofshe crop for The re-
manning part of the year gloomy enough,
aud should warn all men to spend as little
money as possible.
In regard TO the disposition of that part
of the crop which has already come to
market, there is little to remark. The ex-
port coastwise is Influenced by so many
circumstances, that it is not easy 10 draw
auy conclusions from it. This item has in
creased the present season about 100000
bales, and as this is moi explained by any
considerable increase in the aggregate Of
foreign exports and Of stock at New York,
we NAV suppose that the domestic con-
sumption has largely advanced.
In regard to the direct foreign exports,
il should be observed that the exports to
Great Britain alone on the lst Of fApril last
year, very nearly equalled the exports of
this season to all foreign places. Still the
stock on hand in the Southern ports is
much less than in. 1910.
The amount of Sea Islands approaches
much nearer to the crop Of last year than
was anticipated. The comparison on the
lst of April is as follows =
1841, 16,30l bales.
lS4O, 19,049 bales.
OF all the Southern States, Georgia will
suffer most from The deficiency. Not only
because the deficiency is there greatest,
but her citizens are greatly in debt-her
banking system is in the EXTREMIST confu-
sion, and a number of State works are in
progress. involving great expenditure
The entanglement Of The Stale with rotten

waited plain. In calculating lhe depth Of
the water where this vessel struck, with
its present level, it will he found that the
