DEATH OF MRS. MIxER.-Or friend and neigh
Dor, GEO. G. MIxER, Esq, has our sincere sympa-
thy in the sore bereavement which he has been
called upon to undergo. Mira. MIxxa died onsss-
urday morning, after brief illness, leaving, three
little children. Her funeral obseqnies were held
at Grace Church yesterday afternoon, attended by
q large number Of friends. Her remains were
placed in the receiving vault at Magnolia, whence
they are to be taken to the North, to be deposited
by the side Of her family.
The HARhoN1ANs tonight will give another en-
tertainment at Hibernan Hall, for the benefit OF
that prince of minstrels, Mr.. W. BoYcE, who is
great favorite with the public. They had fine
house on Saturday evening, and called our risble
muscles into frequent and violent play. The Har-
monions have some excellent voices in their
troupe and quite respectable orchestra. The
two send players" are geniuses in their line, gro
tesque almost to extravaganza. yet sufficiently
true to nature to be very funny. We hope they
will have fine house tonight, 30 that MIR. BoYcEs
benefit may result in something more than mere
empty compliment.
FRE.-At halfpast 10, P. NJ, Saturday, smoke
was discovered issuing from house in Tradd
street, near King, occupied by Mrs. HIRsH-
FIELDT. The alarm was Immediately given,
but by the exertions Of Messrs. MATTHEwEs and
ALLY, the flames were subdued before the arrival
of the engines. It was evidently the work Of an
incendiary, as the athing under the staircase had
been broken, and quantity Of pine straw AMI
hghtwood shavings stuffed in the opening. This
was ignited BY the incendiaries but the fortunate
arrival Of the assistance mentioned above, saved
the house from being destroyed. The case has
been put in the hands Of the detectives, and it is
hoped that the guilty party will soon be caught
and punished.
SU1uDR.-At 81 F. a.. on Saturday negro in
formed the police that man Was lying down in
small shed ON Anson street, near C1AussEN's old
mill. On repairing to the spot it was found that
Mr.. CLARENoR WooLFs has selected that place for
the purpose of committing snicide, which was
done by drinking laudanun, q bottle Of which was
found near him. He had removed his coat and
turned it wrong side out, and had scraped up the
shayings to serve as pillow. When found he had
evidently been dead for some time. In his pocket
was note giving his reason for the rash deed; he
stated that he was tired OF ife and on account of
some family differences had determined to leave this
world. Coroner WHITING was at once notified to
hold an inquest and the jury returned verdict OF

Exqg1Mos AROUND TIE HARBoR.-The e1cur-
don party who went with the 81. Helena OF her
tin around the harbor on Saturday night last,
were unanimous IN their praises Of the boat, the
weather and the music, and voted the trip per-
feet success. The sky was llumined by the sil-
very rays of the moon, and the ripping waters
seemed like brilliant see, while the sweet sounds
Of music added new charm to the scene, and
made the 81. Helena appear Ikea thing OF life
Ample preparations had been made for the trip,
and the number OF passengers present proved that
the charms of the night were too powerful an at
traction to be resisted, and life en- the ocean
wave was under some circumstances, the happiest
that could be chosen.
The usual route pursued by the excursion boats
was altered, aud the 81. Helena stopped at Mount
Pleasant both going and returning, and many OF
the villagers were thus enabled to join the pleas
ure party. On leaving Mount Pleasant, the vessel
< steamed around the harbor, allowing her passen-
gers an opportunity to see sumter's grim walls
lighted up with halo OF glory, besides going
near enough TO recognize Fort johnson and the
batteries on Morris and Sullivan's Islands. James

LOCAL ITEMS,
Flint District.

The quartz mill of Carter q Co., in Flint
District, is nearly completed, aud will prob
ably starte inside of two weeks. The roast
ing furnaces which are the only thing that
can delay them so long, are being rapidly
built. The mill when completed, will be
sort of novelty in the way of quartz mills as
well as an evidence of the energy of the
proprietors- Russ Carter and Wallace Green
well. 1t is made up of the four two hundred
pound stamps, engine and machinery of the
little Vass & Morse mill which used to clat-
ter away up the gulch near Silver City two
stamps, engine & machinery of the little
Pueblo mill, and the two stamps & pans,
that formerly worked in Minear's mill. The
last four stamps, are four hundred and fifty
pounds each. Both engines work on the
same sl:=e.a- = fit is claimed that they are
rugged so'es ofgain five horse power. The
work is substi btialy done and considering
the remarkable scarcity of"squiralents" with
the proprietors, has been carried on with
consummate energy. 1t is the intention to
work rock from the Rising Star mine, owned
by W. H. Wickersham, and Rus. Carter of
this vicinity, and Louis Eckhardt of Idaho
City. This mill will be prominent feature
in developing the richness of the new dis
trict, and we congratulate the gentlemen up
on the success of their enterprise so far, and
wish them, as they deserve, the realization
of their most sangune expectations.

free Niger aristocracy shall be over

white people. A negro, like all of God 5
creatures, in his normal condition, has
nothing repulsive any more than child

disgustiugy od'ous, 50 the freedman"
or Stree" niger is intolerable, or would
be, if ne could become permanent ele-
mt ut of human society.
MonstroUs and accused traitors, no
doubt, stimulate these poor creatures to
hold a convention, and, oddly enough,
their object is logical and sensible, for
why should there be darkey aristocra-
cy, or one permitted to vote while ancth-
er is denied this "right?" But if The
ignorent and deluded white wrctcbes
who stimulate these poor people to hold
their meetings compreheuding the crimes
they commit, they would BECOME raving
lunatics the rest of their lives. Two
great fundamental facts underlie their
crimes. These negroes are dying out as
an element at the rate of FIVE per cent
per annum, and there is not one single |
typical or real negro in New York that
is permanently engaged iu productive la.
