Gregg Co, at the old Commercial Bank
corner, advertise large stook Of goods in
this line, which they offer at low rates.
These gentlemen are-we had almost said
old residents of the State, but as both are
on the right side OF forty, the term 'sold'
would hardly apply tc them.
We learn that a raid was made on some
Government teams, ON Tuesday last, and
several mules captured. Tho teamsters
were out getting wood, when the affair
occurred. The raiders are being pursued,
and hopes are entertained that they will be
captured.

CHARLESTON BUSINESS HoUsEs-In our
advertising columns, this MORNING, will be
found a circular addressed to tife mer-
chants OF the South, to which attention is
invited. Among them are goodly num-
Der of old names, as well as some new
candidates for public favor.
Mr.. J. S. Phillips also advertises himself
as the successor Of that old and reliable
firm, Edgerton & Richards. Mr.. Phillips
offers for sale awell-selected stock Of goods
in his line-which it is hardly necessary to
say is merchant tailoring. Mr.. Yglesias
also claims to be the successor of Messrs.
f. & R.; but whoever the claim rightfully
belongs to, we venture the assertion that
either of the gentlemen will fit you, if you
give them an opportunity.

SUPPOSED MURDER.-The body of an un-
known man was found on Monday after
noon, on the roadside, on the other side Of
the river, about three-quarters Of a mile
from Guignard's Ferry, by a party of hunt
crs from Columbia; and gentleman who
passed the spot yesterday morning, informs
us that the body is still laying there. Will
no one look after it? A bullet-hole through
the forehead shows how the unfortunate
being came to his end-but whether by the
hand of the assassin or his own, of course
it is impossible to say. The remains Of
fire show that he had endeavored to make
himself comfortable. From appearances,
it is sup posed that he ad been dead seve-
raj days, and the pockets of the dead man
had been rifed of their contents. The
deceased was dark completed, had dark
hair, and was dressed in fancy colored
WOODEN shirt, paper collar, black cloth
coat molaskin OyercOat pray pants and
