ASSAULT AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER ON THE
PUBLIC RoAD.-Travelling after lark has be-
come, in many places, dangerous under
taking; but the roads in the vicinity Of this
city have been generally considered perfectly
safe. Two or three assaults that have recently
occurred have, however, weakened the faith OF
travellers, and they seldom venture ON q jour-
ney without being armed. On Saturday eve
ming, deliberate attempt at murder was made
by some miscreants who had concealed them
selves near the Six Mile House. Mr.. Pryor, q
stock raiser, living near the Ten Mile Bottom,
was returning to his home with the proceeds
of the weeks butchering, when he was shot at
by some F. } stepped into the road as
the buggy passed, and fred at his back. The
iron brace band fortunately received most Of
the load, and shows the marks Of five buck
shot. Several Of the shot cut Mr.. Pryor's cloth
ing, one grazing his side. Not knowing the
number of his assailants, Mr.. Pryor did not stop
to investigate the occurrence, but giving his
horse the reins, passed over the remaining
portion Of his route at speed that would
have done credit to Tam O'Shanter's mare.
The party who assaulted Mr.. Pryor we're evident
ly aware that he had received large sum of
money, and were determined to secure it even
if murder had to be committed. Their felo-
NOUS intent would have been accomplished
but for the iron band Of the buggy, which re-
ceived the force of the shot.
Complaint was made at the detective Office
last night, but the offence having occurred be-
yond the city limits it was referred TO Major ].
P. Roy, commanding the post.

ard has authorized General Scott, by letter
dated January 7lh, to obtain estimates for pro-
visions to be furnished to five thousand per:
SONS, the recipients Of this assistance to give
lien upon their crops to secure the repayment
OF the cost of the provisions. This relief is to
be distributed by approved local agents, and
will consist OF supplies Of corn, meat, and
dessicaeed vegetables. The distribution will
begin in few days, the present delay being
caused by the absence of further instructions
from General Howard. The extent Of the re-
lief for the present will be extremely limited,
misrepresentation have been made to General
Howard that it is hoped will induce him to e1-
tend the government bounty to all needy suf-
ferers.
SoUp.ERLATIvELY SoUP-HERB.-The Freed
mems Bureau has gone into the soup business,
and 'sits big thing" They have built
twenty-five gallon pot on King-street, three
doors above Hudson, on the premises Ct Major
James P. Roy, Assistant Commissioner, where
the poor ccngregate daily at high noon to re-
ceiye the generous donations of the govern
ment, and stave off the pinchings Of 'tiron-
fingered want"
The soup is o superior article Of the kind,
consisting Of five pounds of dessicated vege-
tables, fifteen pounds OF meat, and twenty gal
Ions Of water, and contains an amount OF
nutrition amply sufficient for the humane pur-
pose to which it is being applied.
The ration consists of one pint TO person,
and is supplied on the presentation Of ticket
which is obtained from MIR. Taylor, the agent
OF delivery, on the spot. Only those known to
be destitute, or who come fortified with salts
factory credentials, can receive the boon, and
thus far the majority Of the beneficiarles have
been whites. From fifty to one hundred fami-
lies are supplied from this point alone. AS the
want increases, it is designed to erect other
soup houses in different sections OF the city,
One of these will be under the supervision OF
the Sisters of Mercy.
As has been already mentioned, the poor are
indebted to General Scott Chief of the Freed
mems Bureau for South Carolina, for this
blessing now enjoyed He learned that
large quantity of the dessicated food was ~
ing unused in Washington city, and, on making
application to General Howard, received from
him instructions to apply portion Of it to tho
relief of the destitute Of Charleston. The
only thing to be guarded against in the dis
nensstion of this charity is the encouragement
of habits Of thriitlessness and laziness among
that class constitutionally opposed to work as
long as they can find any one to pay the butch
er's bill and keep their digestive apparatus at
work without cost to themselves.

But in this, it appears, we were mistaken.

large gang Of negroes, with well-packed wallets
over their shoulders, trudging their weary way
to the water side. On inquiry we learned that
they were from North Carolina e,, route for
Florida. These a1e the pioneers Of the season,
we presume, and will doubtless be followed by
many more of their discontented brethren Of
the dusky hue.

EMIGRATION COMMENCED IN EARNEsT.-It is
with peculiar pleasure that we chronicle an
other successful effort to induce our working
men to proceed to the interior of the State
and engage in the work Of developing it's val
liable agricultural resources.
Captain E. Paslay, gentleman delegated by
the farmers OF Laurens District to effect the
arrangement, on Friday night carried with him
from Charleston thirty-hve grown persons, and
number Of children-hfty in all-who have
been engaged to labor upon the various plan
tations Of that vicinity. Some Of the parties
are adopted citizens; a number are native
Charlestonians. They are to work upon shares
with the owner, and are provided with an acre
Of ground each, comfortable house, and the
necessary stock and implements with which to
commence their enterprise. The locality is
about nine miles from Laurens Court House.
1t only three weeks ago since Captain Pas
lay carried with him thirty more emigrants;
and the welcome they received, the satisfaction
given, and abundant promise of great results
which looms up in the future, induces cor
responding effort to urge others to leave our
city and seek comfortable homes and the prom
ise of handsome livelihood on the plantations
OF the interior.
We learn, furthermore, that planters through
out the State are anxious to secure the unem-
ployed bone and sinew of the State, and are
willing to make the most generous contracts.
General Harllee, public spirited citizen of
Marion and large landholder, has gone 80 far
as to offer fifty acres Of land to every five fami-
lies who will permanently settle on bis place
and aid him in making his crops.
Such generosity is bestowed in the right
direction. After all, individual energy-that
which works quietly, and to certain purpose
achieves the greatest success, and with the
light OF such examples as we have above re-
ferred to, encouraging effort in this direction,
we can easily foretell the prosperity Of those
who, ''taking time by the forelock," are thus
laying the cornerstone of wealth and fortune.

THE LADIES, MUTUAL Am. AssocIAf AfE9N-,.EE4o- J;
TURE BY THE RIaHT REVEREND BISHOP LYNCH
-One;ofethe most intelligent and appreoiatlve
audiences that has assembled in Ghariestonaor
many months, convened in Hbernian Hal last :
evening to listen to the address Of the Hghtt
Reverend Bishop Lynch, in behalf OF the La
dies Mutual Aid Association. The assemb!age
was not large, bdtvsil calculated to enjoy the
rare, novel and learned views presented by tne
Reverend Bishop. .. ~
The speaker was handsomely introduced by
General James COM rer, in the following Ian
gusge: - {,
LadieS dnd Gentlemen: It is now tW9Hears
since few nob1e-hearte women, deeply I'M
pressed with; the .dssttutionj and; sunermg
which the'war has brought to many TO Wnom
want has hitherto been unknown, orgahHeo
what is known as the Ladies' Mutual had AS
sociation, for the purpose Of affording employ,
ment to such ladies as might be dependent
upon their own exertions for support. Wltn-
out capital, without resources, sustained ty
their own energy and strong CONVICTIONS OF tne
sacredness of their duty, and With an aDlamg'
faith in the support OF the community, tney
launched their little bark Telgntea %lt9 1i 20
many hopes and not few anxious doubts.
Their success has been beyond. their antg1pac,
tions. andltheir benefits hate Been widely and,
vet discriminatinglj difused. They haves
BROUGHT relief to many who we're In the depths
of want-a relief which WIS 5sw9etened bH the,
thought that it was not charity, but the<eeTands
Of honest toll.
The funds Of the Association have been ex.
hausted. They have no means further to pros
ecute the good, work. they commenced, and yet
the calls for aid have increased, and are daily
multiplied. 1t. iB id vain that the generous
hearts around their council board plan and de-
wise some scheme BY which to alleviate the
misery around us. Their best efforts are fruit
out of nothing, to dfstill little. On the pres
emit occasion they have called to their aid Q dis
prelate, whose heart is never closed
to appeals for sympathy and aid. 1t is not
for me te adopt any ceremony in
introducing to this audience one they have 80
long known; but simply, In behalf Of the Ladies'
Mutual Aid Association, to thank you for the
support and encours cement you have given to
their labors, and present to you their lecturer
for this evening-the Right Reverend Bishop
Lynch. Applause.
Bishop Lynch entered at once and gracefully
into his subject, and for nearly an hour held
his audience wrapt in interest as he opened
view on 7iew of ancient history and developed
new thoughts bearing upon theme around
which he threw charm of novelty. The late
ness Of the hour precludes such report as we
design presenting to our readers, and without
mutilating what has been said by attempting
an abstract, we postpone the publication of
the address until tomorrow. =.
