THoMAs BARrSc, s Mission 10 the .GmrED
STArEs.EThe head of the grcst Londoa6-
nancial house. OF the Barring Brotherss has
been here for some days. and still Wall
Street is in the dark, in regard to the special
objects Of his visit. 1t was first given out
with an air of semi-oficial authority through
the London journals, that he was empower
ed with the necessary discretion for the most
ample and satisfactory settlement OF the, fish
cry question. The report readily gained Gre
dence, from the fact that another of the Bar
ing Brothers, Lord Ashburton, had been so
successful in settling the Northeastern Boun-
dary dispute; and also from a readiness to
believe that the diplomatic abilities of tho
one brother were most likely possessed by
the other. But it very soon appeared that
Mr.. Thomas Barring was not coming to set
tie the fishery question, but that his real mis-
sion was to look after the Nicaragua Canal
Company and its stock, and the condition of
Mexican Bonds in Wall Street, Illinois rail-
road bonds, and other State Bonds, including
even the repudiating State of Mississippi,
with n view to very large investments in
Australian gold. Since the arrival of Mr..
Barring, however, it seems that the special
object of his visit, at this particular SESSION of
the year, is the settlement of the Peruvian
Guano question on pacific basis, which will
be satisfactory to Mr.. Webstor, Capt.. Jew
cit. the English Peruvian Bond holders, Peru
herself, and even the Guapo o-making penguins
and pelicans Of the Lobos islands. But Wall
street may be mistaken even in this conjcc-
ture. Perhaps his object may be to inquire
into the present peculiar condition of Cuba,
or the Tehuantapcc treaty, or the Presiden-
tial election, with tho view Of betting largely
on the general result. Who knows.

the goth uIt., charged with the murder of
Mr.. Lester in South Carolina, some time

er. .
"This young man, not more than TWEEN
ty-thrcc or twenty five years of age, has
Sg Sgt e2ETSer Ese ssi in crimes of the black

by sedncing his daughter, between twelve
and thirteen wears Of age, with whom he
clopcd after stealing n horse from her faith

HEAVY RoBBERY AT THE BALTIMORE
DEPoT.-Last night, says the Philadelphia
Ecening Bulletin of Sept. 9th, on the ar
rival Of tho cars of the late line, at the
Baltimore Railroad Depot, corner Of
Broad and Prime street, Mr.. Leroy Spring,
merchant, of Charlotte, N. C. was robbed
Of nineteen hundred dollars, South Caro-
lima funds. The money consisted Of
800, 800, and $50 bills. 1t was taken
from his coat behind. AT least three ras-
Gals were concerned in this robbery. One
of them who stumbled against him pre-
tended to beg his pardon, saying he had
accidentally trod on peach stone; a Sc
cond person, at the moment, pushed him
in the crowd, while the hand Of third, at
the same time, was felt at his pocket. The
adroit Williams escaped.

h HE CoNGAREE.---The recent heavy
rains have caused another rise in our river.
The Wateree, We learn, was much more
swollen on Saturday and Sunday last,
than the Congaree, and serious fears were
felt that the Railroad Bridge between this

injury was done in the loss of the machine.

bridge at the time, so rapid was the rise
OF the water, but we are happy to learn
that the bridge is safe. - ,'a....
Owing TO difficulties in crossing at the
Congaree Bridge, the cars from Charles

The mails have usually arrived after our
paper had gone to press. We hope that
all things will be right again in few

nSy- Kossutb ~ The Last acco,,n,s y,.

E1- Kossuth at the last accounts, was
living in a private boarding house in one
of the back streets Of London. He keeps
exceedingly qniet, and attracts but little
attention. The police, however, it is said,
are instructed to keep sharp eye on his
movements. The numerous French, Ital-
ian and Hungarian exiles. now in London,
it is alleged, look with more confidence TO
Mazzini, than TO Kossuth, whose speeches
IN the United States served but to put
Kings and Princes on their guard against
every attempt at revolution.

resisted the process; the sheriff called
upon the Governor for instructions---the
Governor directed the sheriff to enroll

was offered, speeches were made upon

To THE PEOPLE OF RicREAND DISTRICT
The Undersigned. having been nominated,
among others as candidates to represent the
District Of Richland, in the ensuing Legisla-
ture, entered the field with the reasonable
expectation that the canvass would be n quiz
ct one, and unaccompanicd by those scenes
of eleciioneering, which, unfortunately, have
become so common of late in this District.
From recent events, they are disposed to
fear that the Distract may again be distract
ted by an exciting contest, in which no i'm
portaIt public measure or political principle
is involved and entertaining the belief that
there is no way of avoiding this result but
by sacrafcing their claims and expectations
(whatcver they mey bcD by withdrawing
their names from the canvass, they, therefore,
whilst truly grateful TO their friends for the
support they have rendered, respectfully an
nouncc to their fellow citizens that they are
no longer candidates to represent Richland

Our town was visited last night with
a most singular natural phenomenon.
Nothing less than d Hood or insects, gomez
what similar in appearance to the "miller"
fly. They appeard ihsHhRy,E and install,
ly rooms wherever aiglits were burning,
were filled with them, and such putting
down of windows and shutting of doors
was never known in this region before.
Some rushing to the streets with candles
in hand, were literally compelled to drop
them and vamosc as they would from a
swarm Of bees. One gentleman sat his
lamp in the street, and in about five min
utes they were lying on the ground
around it to the depth Of inches. Bon
fires were built, and as the blazes cast its
light abroad, the scene was most singular,
and in their passage to the flames looked
for all the world like snow flakes coming
rs thick as any snow you ever saw
pouring n constant living stream into
the fires. Soon men and boys commen-
ced shoveling them into the flames,
which caused anythint but pleasant SEN
sations upon olfactory nerves. Upon OBJ
servation it was discovered that wherever
they lighted, they rcmained-depositing
at once two eggs and then few moments
afterwards expiring. Within ten minutes
after it was noticed that their numbers
were decreasing, they ceased coming
