The FAMOUS FLOATING BATTERY DEAD
FAILURE.-C Charles Pearson, formerly clerk
for Wendell & Feltman, of this city. has just

Charleston. He left to avoid being drafted

saw it. The General laughed at it, and soon
after it was launched ii capsized and sunk

SUIcTDE.-On Sunday night last the body
Of q Chinawoman was found lodged against
some bushes in the river, short distance be-
low the Huntoon Street ferry. Coroner Col
ton being informed Of the fact, proceeded to
the spot, but on account of the ateness of the
hour, he secured the body with ropes and al
lowed it to remain where found until Monday
morning, when he summoned jury and held
an inquest, which revealed facts sufficiently
strong to induce the jury to render a verdict
of Suicide by Drowning. From the facts de-
veloped during the examination by the jury, it
appears that deceased was a young woman of
chaste character, about fifteen years of age,
named All Mon, who had been living and per-
forming labor in the culinary department of a
house of disreputable character in the upper
end of Chinatown. The old woman who kept
the house and owned or had control of the de-
ceased, had been trying to force her to marry
Chinaman and, report says, had whipped her
for refusing. She was missed on Saturday
night, and on Sunday morning her shoes were
found on the bank of the river, near the ferry
boat, where she had evidently placed them
before taking the final plunge.

SHooTING.-A shooting affray took place at
lone City, on the 26th inst. VIM. Bloodsoe,
was playing game of cards with another
person, and frequently alluded to difficulty
he had the day before with Charley Huts, at
Muetown. About this time Huts came into
the saloon, and hearing his name mentioned,
the lie was given. Boodsoe took an iron po-
ker and made for Huts. Huts then drew
revolver and commenced firing at Bloolsoe
dlscharging three shots at him. The first
shot struck Bloodsoe over the left nipple, pass
passing through heavy padded vest, (which
probably saved his lfe) and lodged against
the skin, doing no other damage than hattening
the ball. The second shot struck one of his
fingers, the third grazing the top of his left
ear. Huts was arrested.-Amddor Ledger.

A "TRAIToR" DENoUNCED.-The Atlanta
(Georgia) Intelligencer copies the annexed let
Ter from the Nashville Democrat and denoun-
ces its author as traitor concluding as follows:
The fact of it is this, all such men as this
man Stewart is must leave this community,
'-peaceably, if they may F.; forcibly, if they
must" We are law abiding people. We
appeal to the strong arm of the law to protect
us against traitors and midnight assassins j.
A. Stewart must be expelled from this commu-
nifty, provided he does not leave us peaceably
and of his own accord. His presence is highly
dangerous. He is traitor in our camp. He
not only writes treason in our midst. and fur
nishes weapons to our enemies, but he dissent
mates treason and scatters incendary docu-
ments.
The following is Stewards Objectionable
letter:
ATLANTA, Ga, March 2, 1861.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT | may be coerced to
obey, but | will never acknowledge or recognize
the Government de facto of the seeding States.
| will never cease to honor and love the old
Stars and Stripes and no hostile power on
earth can absolve me from allegiance thereto.
Yet | hope the incoming Administration will
net countenance or recommend war against the
erring people of the South. If let alone,
think the Union men, at the balot-box, will
effectually put down the revolution, now that
compromise measures satisfactory to the Dor
der slave States have been agreed upon. The
Union men of the seeding States have this to
say to Lincoln Just let us alone Attempt
no coercion. Collect no revenue at our ports
Give the seceders peaceful opportunity to
test their Utopian and visionary schemes, and
trust us on the ballot-box and on the stump to
fight the battles for the preservation of the
Union, and we will achieve a peaceful and per-
manent victory without the expenditure of
treasure or the shedding of blood. | hope the
old party lines will be forever ignored Union
men should henceforth know no party except
the Union party in opposition to disunionists
North and South = to Abolition fanatics
North, and arstocracy, monarchy and despot-
ism South. The military preparations in this
Government de fdcto appear. to my mind like
a stupendous farce. The seizure of forts and
arsenas is simply ridiculous as no war has
been waged against the South by the General
Government, nor does any man of sense for
moment believe that Lincoln ever contemplated
the invasion of the cotton States. From cir
cumstances which have fallen under my obser-
walton am led to believe that the K G. c.,
and other military organizations, have had in
view the coercion of Union men into the sup
port of their revolution, and that such was and
is their chief object In confirmation, can
to put Georgia out of the Union against the
voice of the people.
Yours, truly, J. A. STEWART.
