OUTRAGE ON THE SoUrn CAROLINA
RAILROAD. Saturday night last, as the
down Columbia express train on the
South Carolina Railroad passed about, a
quarter Of n milo beyond Lewisville, the
rear passenger car was fred into by n
party, who must have concealed them
selves on tho sido of the track, and step
ped on Just as their hiding place was
cleared by the cars. The noise made by
the train, prevented tho occupants Of
the car, six in number, from discrimina
ting as to the number Of guns fired, but
tho shots which were imbcdd,d in the
door and ceiling, indicated that moro
than one gun was used. Major IIolton,
one OF the Frccdmcn's Bureau, made a
very narrow escape, one of tho balls
passing within few inches Of his head.
was very much inccnsed, and wo pre.
snmc will make an effort to bring the
offenders to justice, MS, if we mistake
not, the scene of the outrage is within
the limits Of his jurisdiction. What ami.
mated the scoundrels in making this
dastardly but unsuccessful attempt to
Commit murder, rs altogether q matte:
Of conjecture. a brick.bat was thrown
into the passenger train, about the same
spot, some time ago.--Ph9R,r. CA.

Explosion of o Kero ,ene Lamp.

ANhPhooioh Va " holo 'bHo lIallps
4 few nights ago as the family of
MIR. Gerig were about to retire, an ao-
cfdent occurred which providentially
was not serious in its consequences
Mrs. e. lowered the wick by turning
tho rachel wheel, hnt in doing 50 tho
wick dropped out Of the tubo down
into the globe of oil, Instantly the
gas above the oil {the lamp being
about half-flledl exploded, forcing off
the collar, the burner and the chin
ncy, all Of which wero thrown out in
to the centre of the Yoom, and tba on
ly damage being the breaking OF the
chimney. The lamp itself was not
cracked.
From this explosion, it is evident
that one important feature in burning
petroleum. is to have tho lamp woll-
filed.
Another is, to see that the oil used
Is the least inflammahle. Tho oil in
Mr. Gorig's lamp must have bccn very
tree from benzinc, as, after the top of
the lamp was blown off, Mr.. G.. jump
cd out Of bed and blew out the burning
wick before the surface of the oil had
become inflamcd.
10 test the petroleum, before pur-
chasing, it is well to have a little
poured upon some hard surface, and
hold above it burning match. If
the vapor of tho oil takes fire and
communicates tho fame to the sur
face of the oil, that oil is not the sd .e-
est. Finally, when you get potro-
leum, get the best, and ~ayays ~
careful in the use of it. aaseSs

Relief for the South.

Relief for the South.
II appears that reports to General
Howard, of tho Frccdman's Bureau,
from high officials in the South, has
induced that officer to mako report
- Congress which is designed to bring
Congress to the aid Of the Southern
people. What that aid will be, or tho
extent Of it, if it be givon, wo know
not
That some aid will bo needed, no
one can doubt. But after all, our pco :.
rIc can aid themselves to a greater
cxtont if they will only lot cotton not
again monopolizc their fields. 1t is
vain to suppose chat the cultivation of
cotton now will pay as it did when la
Dor was differently controlled. Then,
wo could and did compete successfully
with every other cottoD-growing sec.
tion in the world. Now, however, VIC
cannot do this. So The only relief for
us is TO have corn cribs and smoke
houses and cattle pens we'll stocked,
aud thorc will be no need to waste the
time in cultivaling crop which a.
most any other country can produce ut
less cost than wo can.
II Congress comes to the aid of o
suffering people under its own juris-
diction 1T will not be moro than it

That people oppressed by heavy taxa.

But our time wc must abide, a:

IS now about spent, We may look with
