In other new countr os it has been re-

ESCAPE of Love.

We understand that Samuel j. Love
effected hi. escape from his captors
while on his way to this State. The
particulars as we learn them from Mr..
Lowry, who is now here, are as follows:
lie was i'll charge OF Mr.. Lowry and
an assistant who had proceeded as far
us Columbus, Miss, where they had
stopped for the night. They were here
met by two men known to Lowry,
who persuaded him to discharge his
assistant, who they said could not be
depended upon, and who, they belicv-
cd, would release Love On the first op-
portmity. lie finally consented, and
in II short time took Love up into a
room of the Hotel, and locked cIiain
which was around his leg, around the
railing of the bcdstcad, his hands be.
ing tightly landcutlcd, Lowry taking a
scat by him, armed with doublc.bar-
relied gun. After short time, one of
the men proposed to Lowry to step
over to neighboring grocery to take
drink, which he ut first declined, but
after much persuasion, he consented,
the other man agreeing to guard Love
while he was absent. On his return
in u short time, the prisoner was miss
ing. The guard stated that he had
lett tho room moment to get a drink
OF water, and while hc was out, Love
looscd the tcnon fthe bed-post, slip
ped the chain of, aud was part of fhe
way down the stairs on his return to
the room, and that he endeavorcd to
fire on him but both caps exploded,
and Love gaining the street, he was
prevented by the darkness from seeing
the direction hc had taken, and thus
effected his escape.
Mr.. Lowry supposcs that their OBJ
jcct i'll taking Love out of his posses
sion, was to bring him on to this State
for the purpose OF securing the reward
offered for his apprehension.
Since the above was put in type, we
have seen a letter from Coilueville,
Miss, dated 7th instant, which states
that Love had been re-takcn and lodu-
cd in the Jail Of lclIobusha County.

In the course of some remarks iii
the Senate on the 24th of last month,
by General Cass, that distinguished
man paid this high tribute to the cha
racter Of j Ohm G. Calhoun:
"tNow, Mr.. President, allow mo to
say here that no man in the Senate, or
i'll the country, had more disinterest-
ed attachment to Mr.. Calhoun when
living, than myself; nor has any one
higher regard for his memory now
that he is dead. He was a great man.
He had one of the most active and
penetrating minds | ever encountered.
1t was quick, almost instantaneous,
and powerful and sagacious; and he
had probity equal to his ability.

whose powers of conversation were
more fascinating, or whose positions
were maintained with higher reach

tons. knew him for thirty five years,
and at one Period circumstances
brough lit me into close promity with
him, and | never approached him, and
never left him, without his leaving on

ty. He had been brought into contact
with the world ut M early period of

quircd in the highest positions i'll the

his extraordinary mental power, placed

Suffering of the Irish People.

An accomplished German traveller,
by the name Of Kohl, gives sad pic
turc Of the privations suffered by the
poorer classes of Ireland. He con
trasts their condition with that of the
people of other countries, and gives
the palm Of wrctchcdncss to the Irish.
If the description OF Kohl be correct.
we do not sec how any people could be
reduced to o more lancntablc state.
lie says:
Many lrishncn have but enc day
on which they cat flesh, namely, on
Christmas day. Every other day they
feed on potatoes, and nothing but po-
tatocs. Now this is inhulnam for the
appetite and stomach claim variety in
food, and nowhere else do We find hu
man beings Slawing from years end
to years end, at the same root, berry
or weed. There arc animals that do
so, but human beings nowhere except
III Ireland.
There arc nations of slaves, but
they have, by long custom, been made
unconscious of the yoke of slavery.
This is not the case with, the Irish. who
have strong feeling OF liberty within
them, and are fully sensible of the
weight OF the yoke they have to bear.
They are intelligent enough to know
the injustice done them by the distort-
cd laws Of their country and while
they are themselves enduring the cx-
trcmc OF poverty, they have frequent,
~ before them, in the manner of life
OF their English landlords, Il spectacle
OF the most refined luxury that human
ingenuity ever inventcd.'

The Bank HScD0rt.

We publish this week the report OF
the Committee appointed to inquire
the probable amount Of stock which
would be taken in the Bank proposed
to be established at this place. The
Committee have taken great pains to
make a full and satisfactory showing.
All matters which have ary relation

leeteds MA before tho; District IN
tlcirfcPort. We had no idea of the
state oiaffairs which they disclose, al
though we were ut first aware that ne
ccsSitv called for the establishment of
banking institution in this District,
yet that necessity is shown to be far
greater in our Judgment by the impor-
tmt statement which the Committee
have been able to make. The Com
mittcc are clearly satisfied that Il bank
ing institution well conducted, would
he of advantage and profit to the citi-
zclls at large. Several other Districts
have given notice Of application for
charters for Banks at their several
Court Houses and we have no doubt
the friends of these enterprises would
unite with us in the procuring carterh

An Awful Tragedy.

\ t''igh,ful tragedy recently occurred
ut Brownstown, Indiana. The details
are thus given in the Madison Banner:
1t seems that two brothers. named
Hiram and Warren Francisco, and
well known rs respectable and peacea-
bic citizens. followed the occupation of
clock pcddling. They usually travelled
different routes, but made IL practice of
meeting each other frequently. They
agreed to meet ut u public house in the
vicinity Of Brownstown, on Friday
last. One of the brothers reached the
tavern, about 8 o'clock, and inquired
if his brother had arrived, and was in
formed by the landlord that he had
not. After eating his supper he called
for light and asked to be shown to
bed. The landlord informed him that
he had no candles in the house but if
he would follow him he would take
him to b. d. Francisco followed the
landlord into dark room and undress-
cd himself and retired to rest The
bed seemed to- be wet, and having
some matches about him he struck n
light. Upon examining tho bed he
found that it was wet with blood
Discovering a candle near by he lit it
and looking under the bed, saw the
body of his brother with his throat cut
from ear to car, and perfectly litcless.
Fastening the door Immediately, he
proceeded to load revolver which he
had, but before he could do so there
was an effort made by several men to
enter his room Pretending not to be
alarmed, he asked them to wait
until he dressed himself. AS soon as
he had finished loading his pistol he
opened the door, and the landlord and
two other men rushed on him, when
he fired two barrels OF his pistol, i'm
mcdiately killing the landlord and one
of his aceompliccs, after which the 9TH
CT man fled.

Life i'm New York

The editor Of the New York Times
gives the following graphic picture of
life i'll New York. We advise him to
turn over the whole matter to Mrs.
Harriet Stowe, who will discover in it
much more to stir the synpathics OF
the multitude, than can be gathered
upon all the plantations in the South
crn States. 1t is, nevertheless, true

goes but it falls far short of giving Il
Just idea Of the real degradation Of ut

Important freight tATTangementsfo tor the
Merchants OF ofSumteryille and Camden

Important freight Arrangements tor the
Merchants OF ofsumteryille and Camden.
Amidst the dire confusion which the
recent food has created, it is gratifying
to know, that some means have been
discovered by which our merchants, as
well as the merchants of Camden, can
obtain their stock. We learn that Mr..
Solomons, the Engineer in charge of
this end of our Railroad has succeeded
in establishing regular communica.;
tion by means of wagons between the
Pee Dee river, at Cashua Ferry, and
Mars Bluff, and the head of the Rail
road at Sparrow Swamp Turn Out
This is at once the safest surest and
most expeditions route by which our
merchants can obtain their stock, and
our planters their supplies. There are
four staunchs Steamboats, used OH the
Pee Dee between Charleston and
Cheraw during the season that the
River is nayigable as it is at present.
These take from two to two aud q
half days to reach the landings indica-
ted above. AT each of these landings,
there are storehouscs kept by respon-
sible persons, who will store goods at
nominal per centage. The distance
to be trarersed by the wagons is about
20 miles. At the Sparrow Swamp
Depot the Rail Road Company take
the articles at reduced rate of freight
to their destination. We would call
the attention Of our neighbors in mis-
fortune in Camden, to the above ar
rangcmcnt, us the most certain and re-
liable means of obtaining their stock.
