Edwards, whose assassination, we reported about
two weeks since. was shot down by precOn-
certed attack Of several men, while he was In
tody Of the Sheriff of Travis county. The morn
ing session of the court had been held, and the
prisoner was about being taken to Jail till after
dinner, when gang OF some eight or ten men,
who had been In attendance on the trial, came
up, and one Of the number Jesse Graham, reached
oui his hand and said GLOW do you do, Taney?''
and Jerked him from Sheriff Blackwell, ard the
men with him discharged a volley of shot at
Taney. Blackwell had only a couple of small
Deringers with him. He fired with one and shot
Graham, who made OF, exclaiming by God
he's got me " The Sheriff when in the act Of
dischargtng his second pistol, was caught by one
OF the number and held. Tzney was then finished
with balls to the number of 10 or IA. About
twenty i've shot were fred at him. and the parties
then rushed to their horses, which were tied close
by, mounted ard made their escape. Taney was
young man who had become. from force Of cir
cumstances, desperate and abandoned.

Telegraphic communication with Charleston was
obstructed and interrupted through the greater part
of yesterday by the effects Of the prevailing storm.
Some Of the dispatches that ultimately reached us
appear TO have taken New-Orleans in their way;
we believe several came via Louisville and Wheel
ing The stOppage (as usually occurred at the
worst time; it was every way inoPportune and ve1-
atious. We are writing after midnight, yet our
latest adyices ftom the seat Of war are only to
/ p. m, at which hour a motion to go into ballot
for President was under consideration.
Unauthenticated reports reached US during the
evening that Douglas had bsen nominated for
President, with Albert G. Brown of Mississippi for
Vice and that the latter had declined by telegraph
from Washington. Weptesume this is mere guess
work. dispatch of Monday from Charleston to
Forney's Press says that the Vice-President with
Douglas would be either Stephens of Georgia,
Bocock of Virginia, OF Fitzpatrick of Alabama.

yirenians. 1t is not added that either rescript
vas obeyed.
We are not Jet clear that the bred Scott or
Supreme Court plank is omitted from the new
Democratic Platform, but believe it is. Having
been rendered as concession by the Northern to
tie Southern delegations, and rejected BY the
latter, Tie former saw no reason to load themselves
with IT, and united in voting it down. That is the
more probable deduction from our obscure and
contradictory dispatches Of Monday, which the
