1t will be remembered oy some of the
readers of the ENQUIRER, that man by
the name of CRozIER, was murdered at
Newberry S. G., last summer, by United
States colored troops The Philadelphia
Ledger furnishes the following with refer
ence to the investigation of the matter:
"Lieuteuant Colonel Trowbridge, com.
manding Thirty-third United States Colored
troops, put to death, without trial, a man
named Calvin Crozier for the alleged mur
der of private in the regiment named
Mills. After Crozier's death it appeared
that Mills was not killed, and military
court of inquiry was called to pass upon
Trowbridge's conduct. The court acquitted
him of all blame, and Mills, The man said
to be murdered, was in court alive at the
time, had his wound examined by the
members of the court, and yet was never
called to testify by the judge advocate of
the court. General Devins reviewed the
case and sent it back to the court to be
heard over again, but the court persisted 10
its former opinion that Trowbridge was free
from all blame, and be was released from

We clip the following from the Char
otte Democrat in reference to the scarcity
of money:
The complaint about the scarcity of mon
ey is now general in the South. 1t seems
that it will take what little money is left to
pay taxes--Government, State, County and
Town. The people ought to hold to strict
account those who have the levyiug Of taxes
as we'll as those who control the spending
of public monies. But one reason of the
scarcity of money is the purchase of large
quantities of goods from the North by the
Southern people. The most of the money
paid to our people for cotton has been sent
back to the North to pay for dry goods,
"6nery," &c Since the close of the war,
if the southern people-aud especially the
female portion-had denied themselves of
"luxuries" to some extent, or at least only
purchased what was actually necessary, all
would have been better off to day, aud green.
backs aud bluebacks would be more abupd
ant-the cry of "no money" would not be
so often heard. Let US all learn something
from experience.

reference to TWO of the Railroads in this
State, be says:
"No night trains run on the South Caro-
lima railroad. The able and energetic Su.
periutendeut of this road, Fl. T. Pcake, has
gone North to regulate through sche.
dule for passengers. The plan proposed is,
that sleeping cars shall start from Mobile,
Ala, and be sent through to Wilmington,
N. c., and then change from thence to
Acquia Creek or Portsmouth, furnishing
great accommodation to through passengers
By this route from the South. This is an
admirable idea and easily executed. Mr..
Peake is substituting white labor on bis
road as far as possible, and thinks it great
ly to the interest of the road to abandon
freed laborers. The negro hands have
caused them much trouble by committing
thefts, and within few days have cost the
road $4,000 as damages. There are some
new cars on the road, manufactured iu
Charleston. Nearly the entire track is laid
down with new iron, aud the prospect for
good comfortable travelling on this road is
now fixed fact"
