ANOTHER TRAGEDY.-A man named
John Clark was killed on the morning Of
the 23d inst, in Cappelle Valley, near
Napa Valley, by another named Frederick
Coombs. The version Of the tragedy we
get is as follows: Coombs had a lease Of
a ranch which was said to have expired,
or was about expiring, when two brothers,
Oscar and John Clark, with another man,
went up to the ranch in Cappelle Valley,
to confer about transferring the ranch to
the Clarks, they having the ranch, or the
lease of it, on the expiration Of the
Coombs' lease. While at the house of
Coombs a dispute arose, which eliminated
in the death of John Clark by knife
wounds, and the cutting of his brother
Oscar in the hand and arm. One blow Of
the knife cut John over the eye, penetrat-
ing the brain, and another under the
shoulder, killing him almost instantly.
Coombs surrendered himself to the au-
thorities. The wounded brother states
that Coombs attacked him and the de-
ceased without provocation. and Coombs
states he was attacked by the Clark BROTH
ers, and seized the knife in defence, with
fatal result. The tragedy is under inves-
tigation BY O Coroner's jury.-Akd.

ARrEAus WARD ONCE MORE. The
waggish Snowman has appeared in a Sec
ond book, which he calls Artemus Ward
His Travels. The book is full of comic
illustrations by Mullen, and consists Of
two portions, one half amusing miscellany
and the other half a facetious account Of d
trip to California, in which the writer re-
versed the order of Mr.. ColfaX's party,
going by sea and returning by land. Ar
tcmus is unequal. like most humorists,
but he has a vein of genuine drollery,
sustained by shrewdness loyalty and
common sense. He is a. true growth Of
American sod, and his jokes are racy with
the new-world flavor. The book. is IN
improvement upon its predecessor 4; some
Of its u~tterances will be long remembered,
and remind US of those winged seeds
which dispense more widely and terminate
more surely for the thistle-down with
which they are ledgcd.

WHAT THE sogTE cARoL1N1ANs

H-.
The South Carolina people accept the
situation, and the action Of its convention
is up to the mark of what the president
requires; but it is good to see that the
Carolinians arc not hypocrites. They
make no professions of conversion to
Northern opinion, and avowedly abolish
slavery and return to the Union only be-
cause they must. They say what they
think there is nothing Pecksnifian about
them ; and in this frankness and sincerity
there is the hest guarantee for the fulfill
ment of their pledges. The three votes
against the repeal Of the ordinance Of Sc
cession were given by the delegates from
the Barnwell district that they gave as a
reason that as it is the theory Of the Gov
eminent that no State has been out of the
Union, they could see no sense in repeal
ing an act already held null and void.
The last speech of the debate on the repeal
was made by the venerable Mr.. Huger,
the old postmaster Of Charleston, over
eighty years of age. Having urged i'm
mediate repeal, the old man eulogized
South Carolina in passionate words:
"She is my mother ; I have all my life
loved what she loved. and hated what he
hated everything she had l made my
own, and every act of hers was my act |;
as I have had but one hope-to live with
her, so now l have but one desire-.to die
on her soil and be laid in her bosom. If
l an wrong in everything else, l know l
am right in loving South Carolina-know
/ am right in believing that, whatever
glory the future may bring vi reunited
country, it can neither brighten nor tar
nish the glory of South Carolina. She
has passed through the agony and the
bloody sweat, and as we now return her
to the Federal Union, let every pan do his
duty bravely before the world, trustfully
before God-remembering each man for
himself, that he is a South Carolinian.
She has been devastated by the invader,
reviled by the hireling, Knocked BY the
weak-hearted but she has accepted the
invitation to return-acceptcd it in good
faith, with the assurance of a word better
than a bond and now, no matter what
she gives up, no matter what there is to
endure and to forget, let us all do our
duty as becomes her children-counting it
our chiefest honor to stand by her in evil
report as well as in good report-honor
alike to live with her and to die with herr"

FREEDMENS' BUREAU.

The freedmens' Bureau has received from
the superintendent in charge of the 5th district
OF Virginia, his report for the month of Octo-
Der, from which it appears that all of the freed
men and refugees in Fairfax county are self
supporting. There are no camps in the county
where freedmen are congregated. There are one
hundred and thirty-five colored people at Fair
fax Court House, thirty at Fairfax Station, and
about the same number at Lewinsville. EN-.
pioyment has been obtained for the freedmen,
and there is not now one in the county who is
dependent on the Bureau for support. The
department OF the colored people in the county
has been very satisfactory, they appearing to
appreciate the blessings Of freedom, and no
cases are reported where the former owners
of slaves have attempted to Cypress the freed.

wires TO allow the ship, whose masts
reached thirty three feet from the ground, TO

THE SILK MARKET IN FRANCE-The Paris
correspondent OF the London Times writes that
the general opinion at the Lyons silk market is
in favor of lower prices, and nothing will
change 1t but orders from America. Fears,
a market in that quarter are illusory, at least
for this year. The high price of raw material
induces manufacturers to confine themselves to
the production of very fine silks, of which the
price is remarkably low. The purchase OF raw
silk is confined to single bales, according as
their stock is exhausted, but no large sales are
effected nor long credits

THE DEMONSTRATES OF THE WORKING

The parade and demonstration Of the work
ingmen last night, in furtherance of the eight
hour movement. was certainly very large,
imposing, orderly and we'll conducted affair
An effective feature of the procession was the
working representations of the different trades,
and which was carried out with great success,
with printing presses, FORCES, -anvils, ruling
machines, paint brushes, planes, AIDES, trowels,
sail-needles, boiler.hammers, &C., &c, in full
operation. -
At the City Hall, where the speaking took
place, the crowd was one of the largest we ever
saw assembled in Washington. The interest
felt by the wives and families of the working
men in the demonstration and the eight hour
movement, was shown by the fact that not only
the spacious steps and landings of the City
Hall was almost entirely occupied by them,
but numbers were also seen standing patient
ly in the muddy streets for hours, to witness
the procession, or to listen to the addresses at
the stand. .
