ARREST OLA DEFAUITER-i

ARREST OLA DErAULTER. An indi-
vidual who has been figuring extern
sively in the South, and particularly
in this State, was arrested recently,
on the charge of defalcntion and
theft. He formerly held the position
of paymaster's clerk, and took advan-
tage of the situation to appropriate
$190,00O of tho money to his own
uses. The dishonest clerk succeeded
in escaping, and the paymaster was
cashiered for tho deficiency in his
accounts. Since that event, the
Northern detectives have been steadi-
ly engaged in tracking the thief, but
have only recently succeeded in SPOT
ting him. He had purchased n plan
tation near Edisto, and was living in
the full enjoyment of his in-gotten
wealth when surprised by the detec-
tives. .-CharleSton Neus.

$50 pounds of clint cotton" valued
at $50. They are these-the estimate
made is doubtless on the basis and
price of slave labor; and, secondly,
he did not deduct from the $50 the
cotton tax, bagging and rope, COM
missions and various other charges
that attach to bale of cotton from
the gin to the market. We appre-
hend that the difference in the net
proceeds, when it reaches the plant
er's pocket, would be very small be-
tween the two.
Our correspondent says that corn
cen be laid down now in his District
at S1.50 per bushel. Has he any
guarantee that he can lay it in at that
price next year? He says that had
the South made her usunl corn crop
last year, corn would be o drug on
the market at 81 per bushel. We
see no evil in this, and we, in behalf
of the large family of consumers
among us, wish that it was so today.
And this very supposition, we re-
spectfully suggest, confounds his ar
gument in favor of q general planting
of cotton. It might be more "remu-
nerative"-to The planter; but to the
community at large, and to the fu-
ture welfare and material indepen-
dence of the country, for any sake,
let us not return to the fallacy, when
his chief support is gone, that cotton
is king, while the people are starving
around us.

Correspondence OF tho Ph@ptx.
NEW ORLEANS, March %, 1867.

NEW ORLEANS, March ~, lcof.
EDITORS PHOENIX: 1t is rather late
in the day to speak of the grand car
nival-the farewell to fesh-which
distinguishes the Crescent City from
all other towns in the United States,
or rather tnation," as Yankee
would say in his confounded lingo.
1 have somewhere mentioned the
firemen's parade, which brought out
the whole population to witness the
gaudy procession; but this Jfete was
entirely eclipsed by the festivities of
Mardi Gras. It seemed to be nnder-
stood that the police were not to in
terfere, and consequently every man,
woman and child, who was inclined
to play the buffoon, donned mas
querade dress and paraded the
streets, some on the banquette as
pedestrians, and others in carriages,
in buggies and on horseback. In
fact, the universal license which pre-
vailed would have astonished une If l
had not spent portion of my youth
full days in st. Augustine. But I
learn that more restrictions will be
placed on the license, buffoonery and
pantaloone7.y, in the future anniversa-
ries.
On dit, beautiful novel will be
published, in short time, from the
press of Messrs. Blelock. It ID called
"Albert Hastings" and is from the
pen of Mary Whitaker, wife of
Daniel K. Whitaker, one of the asso-
ciate editors of the New Orleans
Times. I have read the advanced
sheets, and take great pleasure in
stating that my countrywomdn-for
she is South Carolinian-will as
sumo her proper place in the front
rank of romantic writer's. The scenes
of the first chapters open in the pine
barrens of South Carolina, and after
treating us to many lively apd racy
sketches of Southern society, the
author takes us to Nassau, New Pro-
violence, and gratifies us WITH many
excellent scenes of that tropical
cline. At this place, Hastings meets
with a young Englishman, who,
dying OF yellow fever, leaves d letter,
requesting that it be delivered to his
relatives at home. This mission is
fulfilled, and leads to events, in the
career Of the hero, which are exceed
ingly Interesting, and affords the
author free scope for her iimagina-
ton and fair field for her powers of
description. am inclined 10 think
that this novel will attain TO great
popularity, and that the accomplished
author will make q distinguished
figure by the side of her southern
sisters. Augusta Evans and Adelaide
De Vandel Chaudron, Of Mobile;
Marion Harland, Mrs. King, and the
accomplished author of the "House-
hold of Bouvrie." By-the-Tay, can

as Miriam Cole in Columbia? She is

An EsceIIcnt Keller measure.

We are pleasedto see that bill has
been introduced in the House by MFR.
Merrill, Of Carroll, which grants 10
heads OF families the right to SELL
and convey perfect title to,-the
homestead, and reinvcst the proceeds
in another and that neither the one
sold nor the one bought shall be liable
to execution or attachment In our
opinion this right should always have
existed, but more especially in the
present exigency Of the times Many
reasons might be given why this
should be so. One is sufficient. The
homestead in many cases is so worn
and dilapidated that large family
cannot be subsisted upon it. But nc
one will purchase at any price be-
cause, as the law now stands, It would
be Immediately liable to be sold foi
debt, and hence the only alternative Il
that the owner must remain upon ii
But let him sell and seek another loca-
ton, and you givea new impetus -
his energies and industry, and infiiet
no injury upon the creditor. We trust
this important bill will become a Law.

Miller, son of Ralph Miller, Esq, an
old planter of this county, was shot
through the head by VIII. T. Hewett,
son of one of our Oldest members of
the bar, Josephus Hewett, Esq. The
wound was very severe and dangerous,
but strong hopes are entertained that
it will not prove fatal. Mr.. Miller is
about 80 years old, and Mr.. Hewett
has just reached his manhood. Both
young gentlemen bear excellent char
acters, and have many friends in this
community. f
1t is reported that in consequence of
legal proceedings between the parents
of these young gentlemen, remarks
were made that resulted in young
Miller's sending a message to Mr..
Hewett, that he intended to kill him
on sight, and to prepare himself, &C
cordingly. The latter Of course armed
himself, and the parties met under the
bill at the place named above. Young
Miller fred first, and then Hewett; the |
latteTs second shot resulting as above
