Fatal Shooting ARRAY

Fatal Shooting AGray-The quict
of our little city was terribly dis
turbed on last Wednesday. A Mr.
Thomas Brennan and Mr.. William
Smith, better known as "Soutll
Carolina Billy Smith," "a very old
man, having had a difficulty last
week, adjourned the further prosecu-
tiOn of it to this place, and came
armed to settle it in our streets.
Brennan approached Smith and
abused him, being armed with a
large six-shOoter" pistol. Smith
informed him "he was unarmed,
but if he (Brennan) would follow
him to his buggy, he would shoot
with him." and started Tor his buggy,
Brennan following. Smith ap-
preached his buggy on the side OPP
posite to Brennan, and drew out his
double-barreled shotgun. AS soon
as Brennan saw the gun he fired on
Smith and missed him. Smith re-
turned the fire, the charge passing
over Brennan's head and entering
the window of Amos Drains
store, to the great danger of the in
mates. In the meantime, Brennan
fired twice before Smith again fired
Smiths last fire settled the matter
Brennan receiving the whole charge
in his left breast, Immediately
expired Smith appeared before
Mayor Bailey, and, after an examin-
alton of witnesses, was disch arged.

Cotton-Our streets are thronged
with cotton wagOns-ffty to seventy
five bales arriving daily from this
and the adjoining counties. Trade
is brisk. The farmers are laying in
their winter supplies. Tue good
weather we have been blessed with
for the past ten days has enabled
the planters to bring in their cotton
and get the big prices our merchants
are paying. We understand they
are paying a cent to a cent and a
half above the market prices for the
same quality of cotton in New Or
leans-the buyers paying internal
revenue tax, etc. They know what
they are about. So bring in your
cotton as fast you can, and get the
high prices Of the Canton market.
We see that cotton has declined
I'd. in Liverpool during this and last
week. That decline does not dis
turb the equanimity of our cotton
buyers, or the fixed high prices.
The crop aciU all be in soon.

ARCHBISHOP ALENANY.-A correspondent
of the New York Tribune in reporting the
proceedings of the recent Catholic Penary
Council at Baltimore, thus sketches Arch
bishop Alemany of San Francisco:
Yonder refined and noble looking prelate,
who wears white cassock instead of the
purple robe assumed by his brethren, is the
Most Reverend Joseph Sadoc Alemany,
Archbishop Of San Francisco. He is a
Dominican monk, and retains. in the color
of his habit. "Reminiscences of the peculiar
garb of his order. He is native of Cata
lonia, and in the course of some of the many
political troubles that have afflicted Spain,
was exiled to Italy. Thence he came to
America. and was chosen Provincial of his
order in this country. He was consecrated
Bishop of Monterey in 1850. and promoted to
bis present dignity in 1853. He appears to
be but little beyond middle age, and is of
dark complexion, with fns, handsome fea-
lures, scanty black hair, high. bald fore
head. a pleasant expression and dignifed
carriage. An active, keen.sighted, vigilant
pastor. with a very few of the old fashioned
notions which one would naturally look for
in man of his nationality and monastic
training, and with pretty full sympathy
with American ideas, he is destined to exert
powerful influence in the church. and is
looked ap to with considerable Difference BY
his brethren of the council.
The Shasta courier., 1866-12-22

Why THERE IS No RAIN IN PERU.-ln
Peru, South America, rain is unknown
The coast of Peru is within the region OF
perpetual south east trade winds; and
though the Peruvian shores are on the very
verge of the South Sea boiler, yet it never
rains there. The reason is plain. The
southeast trade. winds in the Atlantic Ocean
first strikes the water on the coast of Africa.
Travelling to the north. they blow OBJ
liouely across the ocean until they reach the
coast of Brazil. By this they are heavily
laden with vapor, which they continue to
bear along across the continent. depositing
as they 90, and supplying with it the sources
of the Rio de la Plata, and the Southern
tributaries of the Amazon. Finally they
reach the snow capped Andes, and here is
wrung from them the last particle of mois-
ture that very low temperature can extract.
Reaching the summit of that range. they
now tumble down as cool and dry winds on
the Pacific slopes beyond. Meeting with no
evaporating surface. and no temperature
colder than that to which they were subject
on the mountain tops. they reach the ocean
before they become charged with fresh vapor,
and before, therefore, they have any which
the Peruvian climate can extract. Thus we
see how the Andes become the reservoir
from which are supplied the rivers of Chill
and Peru.

SpIRIpoN," in a recent letter from Paris
to the Boston Gazette, mentions the cause
of the death of the Count Bacciochi 4" lie
was Born in Ajaccio, in 1903. After the
fall of the Empire and the ruin OF bis kim
dred, he lived in Italy, living the life of a
wealthy gentleman. When Prince Napo
leon was elected President of the Republic,
Count Bacciochi came to France. When the
Empire was proclaimed, he was appointed
Grand Chamberlain and Superintendent of
the Imperial Theatres. He was attacked in
1856 bv nervous disease, which affected the
organs of motion. His tortures these lasi
ten wears have been indescribable He
could only sleep when thoroughly exhausted.
He could never sit down, nor could he stand
still, as he himself used to say 8 am like
the Wandering Jew, On, on, or IS the cry
disease constantly whispers in my ears ?"-
He had become so accustomed to walking, it
at last was almost impossible for him to
superinduce the fatigues required to over
come pain by sleep. 1t was rare, indeed,
he could sleep before three or four O'Clock
in the morning, and when sleep did at last
come it never fingered long. He walked
constantly; even at the Opera bis box was
latticed and thick carpets were spread on
the floor, that he might walk while listening
to the music, and kill the hours which lay
between dinner and midnight. When he
returned home he was obliged to again be
gin his walk. The Emperor had one Of the
longest galleries of the Palace of the TUT
leries covered with thick carpets, that his
wretched Chamberlain might necessarily
walk up and down it. During one crisis he
walked thirty. six hours, without stopping
once, and when he did halt, he had to be
borne exhausted to bed, the soles of his feet
were injected with blood, which seemed to
issue from every porel He died from the
exhaustion brought on by want of Sleep
which our doctors were unable to superin
duce, for he had at last taken narcotics in
such quantities that the most potent OF them
had no effect whatever on him."
