Mr. Jo1LlFFE DRIVEN OUT OF SoUTH CAR
oL1NA-~The Edisto IS. c. Clarion learns
from private source. that Mr.. Jolliffe, ex-
ecutor of the Elijah Willis will, was advised
by the citizens of Willston to leave that
place in short order, and that being indispo-
sed to bide the consequences, he did in fact
leave on the down train of cars on Monday
morning for Cincinnati.-[Cn. Gazette.
Here is another beautiful specimen OF
southern reciprocity. Mr.. Willis died, leav-

executor: In pursuance of this will, Mr..
Jolline went to South Carolina to dispose Of
the property left by the deceased, and to ap-
ply the proceeds according to his bequest.
But, the people Of Williston, in South Car
olina, not liking the bequest of his own
property made by Mr.. Willis, and believing
his executor to be opposed to slavery, have
taken it upon themselves to prevent the ex-
ecutor from performing his duties, and have,
by threats of personal violence, driven him
from the state.-[O. S. Journal.

Sheriff of the county, and ordered to pre-
pare himself forthwith to leave the State,
that before the threat was carried out, the
mob were persuaded to desist from their vi

life had letters, and who was discovered in
the crowd at the extreme moment. Mr.. J..
was suffered to remain without further in

Of so great an outrage. AS we understand
it, the correction is made on the authority
