AT Bell-Air last week, a colored man was
shot IN the left arm, and his wife in the
right breast, by a white man, simply because
they dared to inquire the cause of noise
the white individual was making in neigh
poIlng house tenanted by two or three mulatto
girls We are glad to know that, although
the wounds are very severe, thev are moi
mortal. From the reports which have come
to our Office within the past week, it appears
quite evident that the freedmen in Edgefield
district, South Carolina, are suffering the
same hellish prosecution now that they suf
Tered last Winter. We have reports that
murders are very frequent; and it is said that
seven freedmen were killed in the vicinity
OF Edgefield courthouse the first week. n
lhis month we give this only as a rumor'
and, while we most sincerely hope that It'll
only rumor, we have no doubt that some
have been murdered; but we do not pretend
to give the number. A freedman from Edge
field presented himself in the city on the 9th
inst, who had been taken from his house
the night previous, tied to a tree, and most
Drutally lashed from neck to heels. His
back was so lacerated that he was scarcely
aDie TO walk. He was threatened with death
il he reported the case to the Freedmen's
