"A CRUEL MURDER.-We deeply regret
to learn the death Of General William
3. Wade, of Columbus, Mississippi, in a
rencontrc with some Federal soldiers sta.
toned at that point. The difficulty, as
we learn, was started in Main street, near
Jones' drug store. The parties were sep
arated, General Wade going to Cady's
livery stable. He was followed up, when
an interchange of shots took place, which
resulted in one of the Federals being shot
through the neck and severely wounded.
General Wade received two balls and a
wound from knife in the hands of his
assailants. They were again separated,
and General Wade gave himself up, and
was conveyed to the hospital, his wounds
being considered serious, if not mortal
While lying on his cot, unable to rise,
with gusrd around him, he was again
attacked, shot and bayonetted until death
put an. end to the scene. He received
aleyen wounds. twas terrible tragedy.
General Wade was a member of tho
State Legislature, General in the Con-
sderate army, and was as brave spirit
as ever went forth to do battle. We sin.
cerely regret his death.-Jackson tsiiss.

The Co,orea Mans Convention.


The proceedings of this body were con.
tinued Yesterday. Muchjof the day was
occupied in discussing questions involving
the welfare Of the race, the best means
by which it can be promoted, and the
most important aaxiliaries that can be
employed TO instruct the freedmen with
reference to the new duties which his
change of habit has rendered necessary.
Various committees We're appointed,
for purposes of no interest to the general
reader, except one styled Central Com
mittce. consisting of a representative from
each District in the State whose business
it will be to faithfully look after the III
terests of the race in South Carolina, re-
port progress in education and advance
ment, and cure such evils as may become
known to them.
The Convention approved the following
documents, and authorized their official
presentation as directed, viz: a declara-
ton OF the sentiments Of the colored peo-
pie; an address to Congress, to the State
Legislature, and to the people of the State.
Five thousand copies Of the proceed.
ings were likewise ordered to be printed
for distribution.
The following report Of the Business
Committee was read by the Utstrr1Iau, r.
C. DeLarge:
Whereas, knowledge is power" and
ON educated and intelligent people will
always assert their true position. .
Resolved, That we, will insist among
the colosed people upon the establishment
of good schools for the thorough educa-
ton of our children throughout The State,
and that to this end we will contribute
literally of our means, and will earnest
ly and persistly urge forward every meas
ure calculated to advance us to the rank
and position of wise, enlightened and
Christian people.
Resolved, That we solemnly urge the
parents and guardians Of the young and
rising generation by the sad recollection
of our ignorance and degradation in the
past, and by the bright inspiring hopes of
the future, to see that schools are estab-
lished at once in every neighborhood, and
when SO established, to see to it that every
child of proper age is keptin regular at
tendance upon the same.-Charleston

fine; there numerous Salt Licks on the premises
and gases escape from some Of the ravines and
springs which burn freely upon the application of
fire. There is river front of at least five miles in
extent, thus affording ample boring territory.

running into the Cheat river, along the courses of
