Mr.. EpIToR:-I it is but lust that you should

to the jnil in your Village the 22nd ult. And,
one of Mr.. TILLMAS's friends, must inform you and
your renders that Jrurado wus intended or acted
in his going to the Jail, remaining there about an
hour, and then departing unmolcsted. He presented
himself at the prison only for the purpose of peacea
bly, surrendering to the authorities but before the
rival of the Sheriff and committing Officer, for
whom Mr.. TILLNAS had himself dispatched mcssen-

though hc is in wrcched health, neither to he volun-
tarily confined in the cold Jail until March next nor
be forced to the trouble and expense Of applying for
bail
And Mr.. EDITOR, the Authorities arc, in my opin.
ion, entirely free from censure for not committing
Mr.. TILLNAS; no one perhaps could have lawfully ar
rested him. without having the necessary documents
and the Jailor could not have detained him without
mittimus, and before such papers could be prepared
not suspectng his intention, Mr.. T1LLxAS had quiet

You were correct in stating that he accounted fo
his absence last Court by attack of Yellow Fever

1t is still asserted by those who have Mr. TLLNAN'
confidence that he will be forthcoming as soon rs th
state of his health will permit, and that he will IN

HAMBURG CORRESPONDENCE.
CAROLINA HOTEL.

HAMBURG, S. C. Nov. 80 1857.
Mn. EDlToR:-This has been q week of great busi-
ness in Hamburg. The streets have been completely
thronged with wagons, carts, drays and every species
of vehicle that will carry bale Of cotton. Indeed,
old Hamburg begins to favor itself of AS and As,
when it was the market for nearly the whole country.
am not so sure, however, that the farmer in scll
ing his Cotton is not operating to his own disad-
vantage. Tho scarcity of the article undoubtedly
demands or ought to ut least higher prices than are
being paid. I imagine that have seen for some
time cloven foot showing itself-a manifest effort ut
speculation, and that too at the expense of tho poor
man who has constantly left his pillow by the first
dawnings of light, and with unceasing tread fol-
lowed his pow till dark compelled him to "turn out"
to supply the wants Of loving, confding wife and
group of anxious, trusting, dependent children. Yet
he is robbed cheated of his hard labor for earnings
which 90 to satiac the avaricous cravings Of horl.
of bloodhound spectators. generation of vipers
Thursday was Thanksgiving day in Georgia. With
the exception that Medical lectures suspended
believe there was no difference in the manner that
day was spent and every other day.
The military companies appeared to view it in the
light of holiday learned, they wcrc paradins
on Green Street. Hurrah for old Georgia.
There WINS great excitement here about one o'clock
Saturday occasioned by the running away of couple
of horses with wagon. They were afrighted, I
suppose at the cars somewhere in the neighborhood
of the bridge across Savannah River, and entire
ly round the town till they came into the upper end
of Broad Street, which they followed few yards,
whom one of the horses was precipitated into the
ditch which divides that street. The driver, negro
man. some forty years old, belonging to Mr.. A. How
ARD, was thrown from tho wagon the wheels Of which
ron over his neck, which was brokcn and he died
| instantly.
Tho Hamburg Fire Company were out charging
about Saturday in their skirts and double brin
ed caps. For curiosity sake took up the pipe and
closed the mouth with the palm Of my hand to asccr
thin the force Of pressure. Together with my weak
ness and awkwardnoss was as thoroughly saturated
as Il musk-rut in q creek. The company appears to
be prepared to do wonders if they get chance.
did myself the happiness to call in last Sunday
to see tho Hamburg Sunday School. wac pleased
to find that Mr.. hartley, tho superintendent, has
perfect system in evory thing appcrtaining to the
exercises and that the children have enjoyed the
benefit Of good discipline. o. what delightful thing
it to see the innocent hearted, who have felt
the chilling contact of acruc selfish world engage in
the holy exercises of religion with zeu and puthos
that is truly Heavcn-born. S.
