A BLACK Rebellion IN SOUTH
CAROLINA


Some of the negroes of South Carroll
ma have risen in rebellion against the
y. S. authorities. A fight has occurr-
ed between the colored insurgents and
a force under an agent of the Freed
mems Bureau, Lieut.. Lemon, in which
the latter was badly wounded. The
following dispatches to the Associated
Press, show the state of affairs existing
at last accounts.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. 30.-Colonel
Sibley returned in the boat, and reports
that all is quiet now, but he deemed it
necessary to leave heavy guard to
maintain order. The whole of the trOu
BILE is laid to Aaron Bradley, colored
lawyer from Boston, who makes
boast that he would like to see blood
shed, and promises the negroes that if
they will resist the United tatesfOrces
at the point of fthe bayOnet the land will
be theirs.
The burning of the steamer General
Sheply is attributed to the same source.
THERE'S general spirit Of insubOrdina-
tiOn among the negroes in this district.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 3I.-All is
quiet in Carolina to-day. The negro
Bradley was arrested this morning by
the United States authorities. Lieut..
Lemon is doing well.
"The whole of the trouble is laid to
Aaron Bradley a colored lawyer"
What a sermon is this to the men who
are continually engaged in hampering
the negroes with ideas of white and
black equality! What lesson to the
people as to the necessity of restoring
the Southern States to their normal re-
lations to the Government! What a
rebuke to the mischievous Radical
Congress which keeps the subject ofne-
gro rightsin unending agitation! What
a commentary upon the New England
idea of sending "colored lawyers" from
Boston to the South to teach the ne
groes their duty! Do the quiet, law
abiding people of Pennsylvania appre-
ciate, in all its enormity, the policy
which makes "AarOn Bradley color
ed lawyer from Boston, who boasts that
he would like to see blood-Shed," a
missionary among the blacks of the
South, to stir them up to insure ctiOn
and murder? If not, it is high time
that they begin to think upon the sub
iect. Here we have U. S. officer shot
in the discharge Of his duty, vessel
burned, and the negroes called upon to
resist the U. S. forces at the point of the
bayonet, and all this in the name of ne
gro rights. A few more speeches from
our members of Congress, few more
"colored lawyers" sent on missions to
their brethren, and we shall have a
black rebellion in comparison with
which the horrors of San Domingo will
pale into insignifcance.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

CONSUMPTION CURABLE BY DIR.
SCHENcK's MEDICINES To cure consumption, the
system must be prepared so that the lungs will
heal. To accomplish this, the liver and stomach
must first be cleansed and an appetite created for
good wholesome food which, by these medicines
will be dgested properly, and good healthy blood
made; thus building up the constitution. Schenck s
Mandrake Pills cleanse the stomach of all bilious
or mucous accumulations; and by using the Sea
Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well
medicinal, and, by using the three remedies, all
impurities expelled from the system, and good, /,
wholesome blood made, which will repel all dis
ease. If patients will take these medicines ac-
cording to directions, consumption very frequently
in its last stage yields readily to their action
Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and
stomach. 1t does not follow that because the bow
els are not costive they not required, for some
times in diarrhuea they necessary. The stom-
ach must be kept healthy, and an appetite created
to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act on the respir-
atory organs properly and allay any irritation
Then all that is required to perform permanent
cure is, to prevent taking cold. Exercise about
the rooms much possible, eat'all the richest
food-fat meat game, and in fact anything the

part of whom were ladies' and in consequence
of the heavy load considerable force had to be
used on the brake TO check its speed.
When reaching the corner of Hicks street,
however, the brake gave way, and the car being
entirely loose, its motion became very rapid.
The conductor tried in vain to check it's pro-
gTess with the brake on the rear platform, and
called upon the passengers TO assist him. All
the strength they could apply did not have the
least effect, and it is believed that as well as
the forward brake, had broken or was out of
order. The passengers soon became thoroughly
aware of their perilous position, and the
greater the velocity OF the car the more terrified
they became. The horses were not at first de-
tached, and the car ran upon their heels, causing
them to kick and dash forward in a frightful
manner
Ultimately they became loosened, probably
through their kicking and plunging, and the
than steam could have taken it. Some OF the
passengers jumped from the platform, some

on the opposite side OF the street, which it
smashed to splinters, and then landed upon
the sidewalk, throwing the passengers in q pro-

Doubtless greater number would have been.

fact that the crowd In the car was so great that
