CASE OF DROWNING.

Quite q melancholy case of drowning occurred
at this place on Saturday evening last, May 81
the facts, al mar a; Icould learn them, being
about a. follows: A German, who had formerly
lived near Peru, but lately removed to the vioin.
ity OF Chatsworth, passed threugh this place
about s'clock r NJ, having driven fifty miles
that day. A little way ont Of town another Ger
man got into the wagon with him, to ride into
town. The owner of the wagon, asked the other
IT the creek was fordable, which the other, sup
posing he ment Otter Greek, answered in the
affirmative, adding that he had crossed it twice
the day before. Soon after he got out of the
wagon, and the other drove through town with
out stopping, and down to the Vermillion, which
was very much swollen. Just as he entered the
water, young man standing on the railroad saw
him and shouted to hmfthat he could not cross.
But the man either did not hear, or if he heard
did not heed him, but drove into the sesthing
flood, and in an instant man, horse and wagon
were drowned almost instantly, but the man
struck out for tina opposite shore, which he had
almost reached, when, being either driven back
by the current or becoming confused, he again
got into the middle of the river, where, after
struggling some time, he threw up his hands,
gave one despairing cry, and sank to rise mere.
Parties have been searching for the body of the
unfortunate man since Sunday morning. but
have not yet found him. The horses and wagon
were found on Tuesday near Alum Rock, six
miles from here. The man, whose name
have been unable to ascertain, is said to have
left wife and four children to mourn his
loss

strong in the knowledge of the white mans
power. influence and resalve, we hold it mag
unanimous, Just and right to give the colored
man fair showing and to set premium
upon industry, intelligence and worth, when
ever these elements are found in him. We
would extend no consideration to the black
mans Radical advisers from the North, nor
to his renegade adherents South but as res
poets the great mass of the colored people
themselves, in consideration of their own in
experience, and the Influences TO which they
have been subjected, we are disposed to in.

the views and principles of the Democratic
party of this State, as now organized under
the auspices of the April Convention. And,
in conclusion, have only to express the hope
that, when these views and principles are
called in question, that they may be met in
spirit of fair discussion, and in spirit, too,
(which doplores any division among the Con-
.seryatiye people of the. State, and which re-
ralizes, that for us, at this time, moderation,
union and harmony are all.essential.
As for myself, 1 believe that the principles
set forth at the April Convention are both
right and expedicnt, and contend further,
that, as such, they have, been received and
adopted by the great body Of the white peo.
pie Of the State.

MURDER IN KERsHAw DIsTRICT.-Letters
received in this city from Camden, yesterday,
give an account of serious disturbance in
Kershaw District, which resulted in the Kill
ling of S. G. w. Dill and two negroes, besides
the wounding Of. Dill's wife and some two or
three negroes, last Thursday night. 1t was
not definitely known how the disturbance
originated, but foolish story had been pst in
circulation that the killing was committed by
some OF the Ku.Klux Klau. Dill, '4ho lived
across the river, about twelve miles from Gam.
den, was in that town On the day Of election,
haraDguing the negroes. and urging item to
vote the Radical ticket. There was no dis
turbance at that time, and Dill and bis party
returned home. unmolested. Some difficulty
occurred after the party had crossed the river,
which led to the result given above. Dill
was member Of the late. Constitutional Con-
vention, was elected on the Radical ticket q
member to the House Of Representatives Of
the State Legislature. and also at the late
election chosen County Commissioner. Oue
of the negroes killed, it ia reported, had also
been elected County Commissioner. It was
reported last evening that General Candy had
sent two detectives, accompanied by militia.
ry guard, to investigate the affair, aud, fpos.
sible, arrest the parties who committed the
murder.
The Coroner and Magistrate at latest ac-
counts had also repaired to the scepe of the
murder to investigate the atfar.-Charleston
