A Singular Mistake.

The Fail Riuer (Mass.) Ne,os relates the
following remarkable Incident as having
occurred near that city: "a worthy
couple, well to do in the world, a few
years ago had son who often strayed
from the path of rectitude and went on the
most disgraceful sprees. Marrying, he re-
formed, and for some years has been as
steady as could be desired. A short time
since all intoxicated man tumbled into a
drug store, and was Immediately recog-
nized by the keeper as Mr.. S., who had
been so long reformed. Word was imme-
diately sent to his parents, and coming.
they took him home. He was covered
with mud and filth, but they went to
work bravely and pulled off his clothes,
washed his feet, put on clean linen,
and tumbled him into the best bed
TIE mother, with fiuttering heart, took
her way to her sons house to inform his
wife of his disgraceful condition. What
was her amazement when, after telling
with tears and sobs the sad occurrence, to
be invited into the bedroom where her son
was sleeping soundly, y,haviDg retired earlier
than usual! Careful Investigation showed
the fellow sleeping comfortably in her b {. t
bed at home to be one of the dirtiest and
worst drum kards in the city. His features
were something like her sons, but that did
not save his being dragged out of bed and
escorted to the watch house.

arrested. They must each give bonds in

Very Reasonable Objections -
PIainfive Statement of n Man
Married OF. Murdered.

The infelicities and frequented separa-
tions of the married "a Chicago seem to
have caused a horror of matrimOny among
the bachelor fraternity in that city, which
is well illustrated by the disgraceful means
taken by one Burkard to break off an en-
gagement made when he was drunk. He
told his own story in court, where he ap-
peared to have the "big brothers " of his
affianced one, put under bonds to keep the
peace towards him:

gagged to be married to Sally, the sister of

A Fiend in ssu,nan Shape.

New Orleans is indignant over the fiend-
ish treatment of two tifteen-year old lads
by Captain Lodge, master of Liverpool
bark, on which they smuggled thems Ives.
A few hours after the vessel sailed the Cap
tain discovered then, and henceforward
during the voyage subjected them to the
most inhuman tortures. He tied them to
stanchiOns and placed sharpened sticks un-
der their chins, so that, unless their heads
were bent backward as far as they could
60, the stake would penetrate the flesh
They were also forced to drink sea water,
and to take baths in tubs of sea water and
lime. after which their raw bodies were
secured with sand-paper and stiff brushes.
This brutal tormentor was arrested on his
arrival in New Orleans, and held in the
sum of $4,000. The Judge said the case
was the most barbarous one he had met in
thirty years experience.

From the Dayton (Ohio) Journal, 15th.l
A Distressing Casuality-Severa
Rowdies Enter the Show at Ea-
ton Last Night-One of Them
Gets EutO an Alteration with "a
Manager, Shoots at Him, and
uhe Ball Strikes a Young Lady
and n Boy-The Young Lady
Instantly Killed.
We give the particulars of a most dis
tressing and fatal occurrence at Eaton last
night. as we got them from one who was
on the ground. Some eight or ten drunken
rowdies entered French's Circus, about an
hour after the performance had COM
menced, and Immediately made themselves
disagreeable by loud talking, laughing and
other i'll behavior. The large pavilion
was filled with an unusually numerous.
appreciative and brilliant audience, and
up to the time of the difficulties to
which we refer, all had gone on smoothly
and orderly. Indeed, it was subject of
remark, says our informant, that the order
was unusually good, the attention of the
crowd being given to the superior per-
formance of the circus.
The rowdies, as before stated, made them
selves very disagreeable in MANY ways but
no one seemed disposed to interfere with
them so long as their presence and conduct
were endurable. They presently went
down and stationed themselves in front of
the ladies' tier of seats in such way as to
obstruct the view of the ladies, and prevent
their seeing the performances of the ring.
One of the managers, seeing this, went to
the rowdies and politely requested them
to stand somewhere else, so as not to in
terfere with the rights of the ladies. This
reasonable request they declined, and be-
came very boisterous.
One of them, who seemed to be the ring
leader of the gang, swore he would shoot
the id Snowman, and, suiting the action
to his devilish and murderous purposes,
drew revolver and fired at the manager,
missing him, the ball entering the breast of
a young lady sitting near, and passing
through her, struck and dangerously
wounded boy near by.
The young lady instantly screamed, 81
am shot," and fell over and expired. She
was most respectable and prepossessing
young woman, and her sad fate struck the
large audience with horror and dismay.
She resided about seven miles from Eaton.
The boy, we learn, is dangerously wound
ed. The murderer was Immediately ar
rested, and would have been summarily
executed if the crowd had had its way.

BENZ. F. BUTLER.
COLUMBIA, October II, 1867.

To the Editor Of The Charleston Daily Ne,os:
The calculation of two million five hundred
thousand bales of cotton, as made for this crop
appears to be liberal estimate, and that buyers
base their purchases on that estimate at low
prices. Now the quest on is at the prices the ar
ticle is selling at, how much will be obtained at
prices less than the planter can afford to make 1t
which we consider as present rates My OWL
opinion is that at least one million bales Will DC
held over until next season, under any crcum-
stances less than an advance in price; and so much
as is haa over will be SO much less planted next
season; for at the present price in deprecated
money at discount of forty-fiye per cent, and
with the unjust tax II will not net the planter
nine cents 1t cannot he made at tnat IN this
State, nor do 1 believe N any other, under the
present system of labor as the planters next year
will have to discharge most Of their hands.
With two small banks, whose capitals are about
four to ave hundred thousand dollars, ana inc
rate of exchange on New York one and half pei
cent. for fifteen days, or thirty-sx per cent. pei
annum, the planters will have to quit OF lose what
little they have left. They have no resource un-
less foreign capital will aid them by an advance on
shipments, which, at the present low prices must
be safe, and then confidently look for reaction
and an advance in prices.
The factors have done I'll they could to assist
the planter and it is the duty Of the latter TO send
forward their cotton and relieve them, for the
times are hard, and they now require all then
means. SUBSCRIBER.
