MURDER OF NORTH CAROLINA MAN IN KAN
sAs.-A Kansas correspondent of the Boston
Post, writes:
!, A horrible afair took, place in Lawrence about
ten days ago, resutingin the death of Mr.
George Wilson, Of North Carolina, q worthy
Ind inoffsnsive man. The whole affair was the
result of quarrel about single dollar! ],
appears that Mr. Wilson, who was travelling
with his daughter, hired of Mr. Chapman,
keeper of livery stable in Lawrence, a convey
.nee to take himself and daughter 10 Lecomp-
ton, and on his return dispute arose between
them about the price 10 be paid. Dir. Wilson,
it seems, refused 10 pay dollar which Mr.
Chapman claimed as due him. MIR. Chapman
then remarked that he would make him pay ii.
and that he should not allow Lin 10 leave with.
out it. Mr.. Wilson denied owing it, and told
Mr.. Chapman 10 let him alone. After these
words MIR. Wilson proceeded to get into the
Stage to 90 on his journey, when Mr.. Chapman,
who had Il large club prepared, rushed up be-
hind him and struck him over The head, fraclur-
ing his skull and causing his death in few
hours Mr.. Chapman endeavored 10 make his
escape, but was arrested and taken to Lecomp-
ton, where he is now held in custody.
1t is said that Mr. Wilson was partially de.
ranged accustomed by excessive grief over the
recent loss of his wife, and that his daughter
was travelling with him in the hope OF reviving
his depressed spirits. They were on their way
hack home, when, on arriving at Lawrence. Mr
Wilson met with the unfortunate difficulty
which resulted in his death, leaving Miss VIII
son bpreft of both father and mother.

The CROPS IN THE NoRTH-WEsT.-Wm.
Jones, jr., & Co., OF the Commercial Agency,
continue TO receive adviccs from various parts of
the Northwest, relative TO the condition and
prospects of the gathering and growing crops.
The following are taken from their books:
FULTON co. ILL.,, Aug. ls.-The wheat and
oat harvest is finished, and never has the farmer
been better paid for his labor. Ii was though!
that the wheat crop, by the early drought would
be short, but more abundant crop of winter
wheat was never harvested in this county. The
farmers from all parts of this county are loud in
praises of it. The spring wheat is'nol so good,
and is not more than half a good cfsp. Oats
,he same. Corn cropEWill be unprecedented.
LAsALLD Co., Ill.-The crop Of wheat and
oats is very good in this county. Corn is good,
and will be large crop.
WAUpAccA Co., WIs.-The wheat crop is first
rate in this country, both as to quality and quan-
thy. Corn was injured by the drought, but it
will be an average crop, better than usual
WASHINGTON Co, IowA.-Our merchants nre,
in general, doing good business Money
light, owing to The demand for building and
speculation. The wheat crop is good. Oats
and corn are average.

THE SAVANNAH VALLEY RAILROAD.

MEssas. EDITORS s:-How comes on the Sa
vannah Rail Road! make this inquiry o
you, SO that those having knowledge in The
premises may answer through the same chan
mel. Til. information sought is very desirable
not only for the immediate stockholders, bu
for the interested public at large. make it
also, that those disposed 10 throw cold water
upon the enterprise, may be estopped from that
sort of work, by seeing how the matter stands
and by seeing also that those having it in hand
| are in good earnest, and mean nothing else than
to carry it through in due time.
Has anything, favorable or unfavorable, turn
ed up yet in Augusta, since the meeting of the
stockholders at Calhoun's Mills? 1t is time that
something had been done by that city, one way
or the other. If those living on the route were
to double, it could be carried through by Ham,
burg, independently Of Augusta. Would il
not be well to learn this truth in time! Bu,
have sufficient efforts been made in the districts
of Anderson, Abbevle and Edgcfeld TO ge,
stock? Many all over these districts-not only
those living Immediately on the track, bu, in
those sections most remote from it, would, no
doubt, subscribe, ard subscribe literally, if pra.
perly approached; because The enterprise in
contemplation is calculated to confer Vast bene.
fts upon those entire districts as we'll as the
whole Stale, so that every one is Interested
and, when made 10 believe and see this, will
exert themselves accordingly towards its com.
plstion.
The way TO build railroads, taking the expe-
rience of the past as n guide, is to keep the ad-
vantuges they are calculated TO create and diff.
fuse, constantly before the people and, further,
to cause crery one, rich and poor, to feel that he
that they-that all must give something, must
gire literally One Of the gralest drawbacks TO
the advance Of civilization erer knoon. is the in
disposition Of the ,cealthy TO contribute of their
substance TO the promotion Of great public enter-
prizes; and this il the more remarkable, be-.
cause it proceeds upon "he penny cise and
pound foolish" principle. think i, susceptible
of demonstration, 80 far AZ things moral may
be said to be demonstrable, that the real estate
within ten miles of any railway, leading to the
chief market, is increased in value from ten to
fifty per cent, Immediately upon its construc.
lion, and that the advantages 10 accrue in all
other respects peculiar to an agricultural people
are made thereby 10 advance IN the same ratio
so that the subscription of this much stock by
those living within this distance of the road, is
not \ protanfo subtraction from their means, but,
on the contrary, pro rata addition thereto, and
this independently of the reasonable expecta-
tions to be predicuted upon the increase OF the
stock itself.
Let all, therefore, living within that distance
of the magnificent enterprise in contemplation,
be moved by such considerations, and act NC
cordngly, and we will soon have the road.

This is all mistake. There has been no

"As usual, On any report or alarm of any 'fe-

made for leave of absence to cadets, or. for
suspension of the exercises Of the Citadel Acad-
emy. The visitors of the institution have nev-
er regarded it necessary or proper TO yield in the
first instance 10 such requests. nor is there now,
so far AZ we are informed. any imperatlve occa:
sion for the step taken. The whole number of
cadets now enrolled at the Citadel is seventy
six, and of these fourteen are continued. The
removal Of the others has been induced by de-
sire to keep the classes fully organized. and to
avoid any pretext or occasion for Withdrawals,
or for importunate appeals, on the part of the
few who are more peculiarly liable to apprehen-
sions."
The cadets have been, without any excite

where they underwent their usual drill yester-
day. and to-day will resume their ordinary re-
