ARRESTED.

man, calling himself SAMUEL LONG, was arrested
and brought to the Jail of this District on suspicion
some week or so SINCE He is still lodged in jail
awaiting further developments although as yet there
seems to be no very clear made out against him.
He was first suspected from offering to sell very
fine horse in several parts of the district at quite
reduced price. Afterwards, we informed, he at
tempted TO induce negro.woman. to 60 off with him
10 Mississippi. This it was that determined party
of gentlemen, ON the Ridge, to arrest him. In doing
So they acted luckily with great and promptness,
one of them presenting pistol at him before ne be-
came aware Of their intentions, while the click OF
several double. barrel guns told him at the same time
that resistance was useless. Upon examining the
prisoners person. after he had been given over 10 the
jailor, it was found that he was armed with very
large and superior Colts Repeater, and had as many
as liz balls quilted up and tied around his ankle.
He had also, in bag around his waist about $3.50,
mostly in gold. The horse he rode is large, fine
looking bay and is valued by good judges, at $780,
In stature this man is rather short, not measuring
more than feet 8 inches in height He is stout and
we'll set, with dark complexion, dark hair and dark
eyes, He has also, black beard and his face has
that whtsh appearance which face recently shorn
of whiskers usually has. We mention tlIis because
we see proclamation for murderer by the Governor
of Georgia, which describes just such man as this,
and with the last named peculiarly specified.

lady, She has always been so kindly disposed to ac'
commodate Edgefeld in the very uncommon article
of sweet singing, and has always striven so earnestly
to please her Edgefeli audiences, that it would De
strange if they were not sensible TO her rare combna
ZION of goodness and proficiency. On the occasion oil
her late concerts, this feeling of parality was mani
tested in manner at once crediable to our citizens
and honorable to their hearts, Her audiences We're
large and appreciativs and her desire to please them
proportionay enthusiastic On the second evening es
peciaIy, when she suffering from sudden atlec-
ton of the throat, and really sang with suchpa as
not only to act herself but to depress her associates
in the green room it was pleasing TO witness the man
ner in which she would now and then rise above her
malady and warble like any unsuffering bird. And
was equally gratifying to mark the sympathetic ap
pause which followed every such fight Observing
this, we could but remark within oursef-" Let them
say what they will of old Edgefeld she is still the
home of all honorable instincts" And we would
