70 the Public.

The facts in relation to the death of my
deceased relative, j. H. Ozier, consider it
incumbent upon me to lay before the public
In the opinion Of the undersigned, ]. ii.
0zier was first murdered on the morning of
the 10th of July, and then the torch applied
by the murderer, or his accomplices, TO the
stable, in one end Of which was his CT. III.
0zier's) bed.
That he was murdered, it sufiices to know
that one of his friends, man Of character,
who was patroIing, passed by the stable
at o'clock A. NJ, on the morning of the
10th inst, and then saw no fire nor light at
the stable. The fire was discovered short
time before four o'clock.
On the fire being discovered, one of the
neighbors called to the deceased through an
open window, loud enough to have awakened
any human being
Another man of character, upon arriving
at the spot, saw that there was no fire at
the end of the stable where the deceased
slept. He states that there was no fire
within from forty to sixty feet of the apart
ment where the deceased slept.
1t is known that the deceased went into
his apartment to go to sleep at or about
half-past ten o'clock on the night of the 18th
inst.
Before the fire reached the apartment,
there was great noise from the people, nine
horses, two mules and sixteen hogs, which
were consumed in the same conhagration
with the deceased and the stable.
The deceased was easy to waken, and
upon being demonstrated with upon his
carelessness in frequently leaving his window
and door open, has been heard to remark,
that no one could enter his room without
his knowing of it.
When his remains were found after the
fire, they were found on the remnants of
the mattress, evidently indicating the same
position upon the mattress in which he had
gone to sleep.
The inside lock was found turned, but the
KEY was not found; and the murderer would
likely have locked the door after be had
done the deed.
Who was the murderer 1t is of course
impossible for me to solve that myself
The only light that know of that can be
thrown on that subject is, that it was sup
posed that he had money in his room /; and
he stated to me on the 18th inst, that he
had some money, and wanted me TO go the
next day to New Orleans, to purchase pro-
duce.
And it is known that, on the 18th inst,
he was extremely bitter in denounciDg the
conduct of a collection Of Yankees, assem-
bled on the gallery of Pearce's Hotel, near
the depot, criticising and sneering at the
brave troops of the Southern Confederacy,
who were then passing up the railroad to
the defence and protection of all we hold
dear.
If there be any John Brown men among
US they could not have commenced firing
the town for their purpose at a better place
than the one they selected and but for the
change of the wind, doubtless, the most of
the city of Canton would have been burned
down.

Canton Female Institute.

The academic session of this institution COM
mencing last October, closed on last evening. We
were pleased to learn that the school has been well
patronized and that it has been in q prosperous
condition from the commencement to the close of
the session. The Principal and the Trustees con-
sidered it unnecessary, under the present state OF
affairs, to have q public examination, and 1t was
therefore dispensed with
On the evening of Wednesday, the young ladies
of the Musical Department gave concert at the
ipstitute. which was well attended by the parents,
relatives and friends of the pupils.
The young ladies acquitted themselves with
credit, and the music properly appreciated by
the audience.
On Thursday night there was another concert at
the institute, which was again largely attended /;
and, unfortunately for the appreciating audience,
there was an unusual number of Young america
on band and among the number there were few
who tried to see how much noise they could make,
and who seemed to prefer disturbing the exercises
to behaving themselves as boys should do. The
bows who behaved themselves, like little men.
should show their Indignation to those who caused
the noise and disturbance They know them; we
do not All we know is, that the audience was dis
turbed, annoyed and Disguised By the course OF
some Of them.
= At the close of the concert gold medal was con-
ferred upon Miss Mary Ewing, daughter OF our TEL
low-citizen Adam Ewing, for department, she hav-
ing passed through session Of 10 months without
violating rule of the institute. The pupils OF
the institute, with one accord, awarded It to ner
without knowing the determination Of the Princi-
pal.
A gold medal was also awarded By the Professor
Of Music, to Miss Martina Luckett for progress and
proficiency in music, since the commencement OF
the session just closed. she having shown zeal in
psacticing her lessons, and devoted attention to
Instruction, which warranted the conference of
the medal.
$ sThs medals we're delivered 70 the recipients BY
our esteemed fellow-citizen, O. A. Luckett, Esq.
We anticipate full and overaowing school for
Tie next session. The institute deserves liberal
and hearty support from our enlightened communi-

The Late Glorious Victory and Its
Results.

AS The details reach Of the great battle of Sun
oay iase we find the casualties of the Confederate
army much reduced from the first estimate; while
The number Of the Federal dead wounded and cap
tured, are much increased. Still our President. in
private despatch to his wife, in full view of the
mighty results of this victory has well said that it
dearly bought
While our people have great reasons to rejoice
over the brilliant and glorious victory achieved bv
our arms,-while we must see that il has strength
ened the cause of Southern freedom-carried dis may
INTO the hearts Of the enemy and will largely con.
tribute 70 force an early recognition of orr rights
our character and our independence, from the Cab
lnets OF Europe; we must still pause at the great
sacrifice by which this grand victory has been pur-
chased.
Noble blood has been shed. MANY a vigorous
youth has been cut down. in all the pride and buoy
ancy OF early manhood many loving house
holds have been made desolate Names have al
ready reached us, of those who have sealed our
independence with their blood. The names of
McWILLIE, ANDERSON, TAYLOR, HILL and WEINTz
from Madison county, are already enshrined in our
hearts as among the first martys in the cause of
Southern Independence. And when full details.
shall have been received of the honored dead of this
county other names may be added to the illustri-
ous roll of departed heroes.
To these and others who have fallen in successful
stemming the tide of abolition invaaers, there are
sons brothers, fathers and friends ready to start
forth as their avengers. The dastardly minions of
the Black Republican despotsm of the North will
again be met. Hecatombs of the enemy will again
and again be sacrificed until the foot of invader
shall no longer poliute our soil.
The names of some OF the wounded of this county
have also reached Tucker, Drane, Magruder,
Hart, and Brown. with others who received honor
able wounds in this grand engagement, were doubt
less in the of the battle They too viii be re
membered. And we trust and believe (from the re-
ports Of the present condition of the wounded} that
they will again be seen in the ranks of country 8
defenders. and their stalwart blows will again be
felt by the foe.
This rst pitched battle of glorious revolution
ruanifests to the world the true character of our
people We believe similar results will follow eye
ry battle that may be fought during the that
has been wickedly forced upon Still. our
Congress has most appropriately recommended. we
recognize in this giorious victory the hand OF q
Higher Power. The God Of battles is with as as
He was with cur fathers in our first revolution
against tyranny. and should all most devoutly
and cheerfully respond to the recommendation of
Congress by Offering up to Hin united thanks
giving anj praise for this mighty deliseranee."
