MR. AsHMoREAND TIE CONVENTION
With every disposition to do Mr.. Asiiiburc
justice, in his delicate position us the South
Caroliua member of the Nutiopal Democratic
Executive Committee, we cheerfully admit
to our columns the following telcgraphic des-
patch from him, received By gentleman of
this city, ChdHc$fOn MercqtrY.
"I do not endorse the cltmor about the
Convention movemcht. The charges for en-
tcrtaInmcntare still complained Of We want
harmony. Charleston can do much to pro-
duce 1T. will do all can for harmony, re-
ports to the country notwithstanding All
such to my prejudice arc false"
RICHMOND, March 10.-The Governor of
Virginia has made rcquisiton on the Govern
or OF Ohio for the arreSt'of wen Brown and
Francis Merriam, who are charged with hav-
ing been engaged in the raid ut Harper's
Ferry i'll November last The Governor of
Ohio has decided not to issue warrant for
their arrest.
FoR CoNGREss. Col C. Wilds Miller, of
Marion, Formerly of this place, and nephew
of the late Stepl u, Miller, United Stutes
Senator from and Governer of South Carolina,
has accepted nomination for Congress lie
has put forth long address in the last num-
Der of the Marion Star, in which he takes
hight Southern ground --tSun,ter Dispdtch
MORE TROUBLE IN MASSACHUSETTS,. i'm
addition to the strikes, which are extending
among the shoemakers in the Bay State, a
disease called by veterinary surgeons in Eng
land pleuropneumonia, has recently been m-
ported from that country, and is spreading
'among the cattle in that State. The disease
is very Obstructive, being attended with rapid
death
a BRUTE ~ HUMAN FoRM.-The New
York Tribune says that few nights since. at
rat pit in White street, in that city, Phil
| adclphian, on wager, ate, IA live rat in tho
presence of an admiriug and applauding audi
cncc. ,
We can conceive of no more disgusting
spectacle than the one alluded to above must
have been. The filthy habits of the rat are
notorious, and the human being who can de-
hbcratcly mastcutc and swallow one when
properly dressed and cooked, must have tho
appetite of jackass and the stomach of nm
ostrich But to take ono of tho filthy little
creatures alive, and swallow ig skin, entrais,
tail and all, appears incrcdible A hog,
dog, or any other four legged creature could
not have done less. And then. too, waere
told, the revolving act was done in the pres
ence fan admirng and applaudiug audience.
| Where else, outside of New York, could such
an audience have been found The mere
thought is equivalent to powerful cmotic
upon a,stomach of even ordinary sensiblity,
and we dismiss the matter with the consolinr
| reflection, that in all these United States
there is bnt one New York For which, God
| be praised !--PdcrSburg Ernrtss.
