A MUnDER.-An affray occurred on the 25th
ultimo, between two negroes belonging to Robert
Jackson, Of the upper part of this district, and
another belonging to a Mr.. Wilson, who resides
in Polk county, North Carolina, which resulted
finally in the death of the latter. The circum-
stances, as near as we can learn, were as fol.
lows: There were number of negroes collected
together in u negro house on Mr. Jackson's plan
tation and it seems that the negroes who after
wards got into the affray, were playing cards and
betting. The, negro Of Mr.. Wilson being more
lucky than the other two, won all oftheir money.
Then ensued quarrel. Stones were thrown,
and finally all axe was aimed by one of Mr..
Jackson's negroes at the negro belonging to Mr..
Wilson, which produced the fatal wound Tho
negro was taken to his masters plantation i'll
North Carolina and survived several days.
He was buried without a coroner's inquest be-
ing held over the dead body, but was afterwards
disinterred by the Coroner of Polk county, in
quest held, and verdict found according to the
above facts-Spa'tanJurg Express.

Where's tho WNigger y,

A few days before the election, the Inter
rified, seeing with their pr ophetic eye what a
tremendous victory they would gain over
the "Black Republicans" of Hennepin, had a
full length picture of mammoth and mag
nifcent African undergoing the solemn pro-
cess Of burial, painted on strip of borrowed
canvas, at the paint shop up street, which
canvas also bore in frightful hieroglyphics
the names of "the rascally Register" G. q
Ames. The inference naturally suggested by
the beautiful telegraph was OF course that
the said Ames was being inferred with the
said African.
But the eventful 18th turned the scale, aud
the treacherous darkey was hustled behind
some boards out of sight, and out of light,
since which he has led very quiet kind of
pilgrimage. In this predicament we call
upon our Democratic friends to trot out the
colored property" end not leave it sepul
chred in that damp cellar any longer, where
he cannot '.jump Jim Crow" and tickle the
risibles of the wheelbarrow family who failed
in troubling in their votes over the necks of
the hard-fisted lumbermen en- election day.
Bring out the white-cotton gentleman, Mr..
thighs, DIR. Boutillier, he has 'nO rights
which white men are bound to respect and
he may do to sell hitch him on in front of
the apocryphal black ponies which you didn't
get, Mr.. i. Foster, and see if you have after
all the lampblack, fair representative of the
mixed colored CATTLE which the party you
have recently Joined, proposes to introduce
Into all the Territories of the Nation, by
crowding out the free, white laboring man !!
Are you afraid to let the people see the sable
victim of your avarce and tyrrany, and the
sooty representative of your great Idea g.

The Crisis Over.

The crisis is over. We are entering upon
period of dullness. The panic has subsid-
ed, and there are no exciting incidents in the
history of yesterday to chronicle. Business
moves on sluggishly. But few failures are
announced, though there are many renewals
of notes upon extended time. Money is still
difficult to obtain at the highest lates of in
terest. Stocks are advancing, and more bu-
siness in them is done. Specie commands
but from ! to per cent. premium. Trade
in dry goods is Frustrated; the wholesale
dealers are selling at retail, and the retailers
find few customers. The little that is doing
in any branch of business is for cash. The
banks are periecting the details of the new
arrangements at the Clearing Honse, which
will soon be made, it is believed, satisfac-
tory to all parties.
Accounts from abroad arc, for the most
part, not cheering. A deeper gloom seems
to have come upon Philadelphia and Balti-
more, and other cities seem to be whstling to
keep their courage up. More bank suspen-
slons are reported. In New Orleans great
excitement prevailed yesterday and the day
before, and there was a run upon all the banks
Many of them bent to the storm and closed
their doors. In St. Louis there was also a
serious run Yesterday.

4 SINGULAR CASE OF VICIssITUDE.-A
few months since, the partner of CONNER
cial house in this city was taken to lunatic
asylum, utterly deranged, as was said, by his
unparalleled prosperity in business. During
the year previous his firm had cleared 81 ,30O,-
600. He died in the asylum, and his own es-
tate was valued $2,50OOOO, all invested in
the concern Of which he was partner. The
firm itself failed the other day and is now
said to be utterly insolvent. One item of
the assets of the deceased's estate was a
thousand shares of the Illinois Central Rail-
road stocks, which was selling at the time
of his deceasc at $40 share, and which
was worth, after paying up the instalments,
100000. The same property sold yester-
day at public sale at $4,000. All this oc-
Cured within eighteen months-the pros
rerity, the insanity, the decease and the in
solvency Y. Eus. Post, 18th. ,e-, 81.
