The Jefferson (Fla.) Gazette gives q
case of bite hy rattlesnake, as fol-
lows: "Mr. Joseph M. Marvin,
while examining some grape cutsings
in his vegetable garden, few days
ago. was bitten on the hand by o
rattlesnake. Mr.. Marvin, immedi-
ately commenced sucking the poison
from the wound, and sent for Drs
Palmer and Scott. In a few mo-
ments his tongue became partially
paralyzed, and his speech indistinct.
He was treated freely with ammonia
first, and afterwards with brandy,
and, in the course of few hours, it
was seen that the worst symptoms
were past, and no serious apprehen-
sion felt for his safety, and, in few
days, every unpleasant effect had
passed away, and he was able to
resume his business.

AfrIcanized South Carolina.

A respectful remonstrance, on be-
half of the white people of South
Carolina. against the Constitution of
the late Convention of that State, {"
has been presented to the lower
branch OF the Rump Congress. This
document is signed by Gen. Wade
Hampton and other citizens of South
Carolina. It sets forth in vigorous
and concise terms, the manifold ini-
quities of the instrument purporting
to be Constitution. This instru.
ment has beer narrowly examined by
Governor Perry-''a pure man, an
able lawyer and lifelong, bold and
outspoken Unionist. as the remon-
strants say-and an analysis prepared
by him is Incorporated in the re-
monstrance.
The remonstrants could not have
believed that any representations
they might make, would save them
from being dragged into the "Union"
by the heartless wretches calling
themselves the Congress of the United
States. They probably prepared their
protest for posterity. They are white
men, with the hearts and souls of
their race, and this is sufficient to
debar them hearing in Washington,
where none but black barbarians and
renegade Caucasians are heard or
consulted. But their remonstrance
will go into history as a protest
against one of the most hideous
crimes ever committed in the name
of government, and Judgment upon
the tyrannous villains who have made.
not one South Carolina, but the
VIII, -, th, o field of pollution, de-
graz on and despotism.
FC the Constitution of South Ca
rolina is no worse, in the main, than
the Constitutions framed for and
forced upon her sister States.
Gen. Hampton and the true men
whose names appear with his on the
renonstrance, say "the white people
of their State will never quietly sub
NIT to negro rule" They may have
y pass under the yoke of Jacobinism,
but by moral agencies, by political
organization, by every peaceful
means" left to them, they will keep
up this contest until they have re-
gained the heritage of political con-
troll handed down to them by an ho.
nored ancestry. "Never surrender!'
is the motto of these gallant men,
and it should be the motto of every
Northern man who does not want to
see this country made a disgrace to
civilization. This is fight for free
dom. security and the preservation OF
the Government. It is not for them
selves alone that the white men OF
South Carolina propose "to keep up
this contest. The North is as much
interested in it as the South. Wheel
into line, then, Democrats of the
North, and show by word and act,
that you are as true to your race and
honor as the crushed and outraged
citizens of the South.

A Duel with Rifles in Tenuessee.

From the Nashville Press and Times. April III
From Overton County comes to us a
strange story, which we suppose has
few parallels in the annals of difficulties
settled after the code. The affair hap
pened two weeks ago. Where the bold
spurs of q wild range defect tritie as
they cross the boundary line of Fentress
and Overton, lived for many years two
| families banned Waldron and Jarvis. A
| feud had marred their intercourse for
time out of mind until about year
ago, when the head of the last men
toned family died. After this occur
renee old troubles wore apparently bur-
led, and friendly intercourse was es-
tablished. This continued for many
months, and one of the Jarvises, a young
man of twenty-five, while intoxicated,
made some sneering remark about one
of the Waldrons, impeaching his cour.
age. Two days after the latter sent Il
friend to young Jarvis, that as he did
not consider him courageous man he
might have the pleasure Of testing his
bravery with any weapon he might
choose. Young Jarvis was too proud to re-
tract the language which had been ut
tered while under the influence of liq-
uor, and he accordingly sent back
word to the other that he would meet
him four days from that time in what is
| known as the Run, where they could
settle the matter with rifles at $50 yards.
Both men had been in the rebel army,
and were accounted splendid marks
men.
1t was on a damp, cold, dreary morn
ing that the two young men, each ac-
companied by friend, took their way
to the Run. A drizzliDg rain had fallen
for hours, and the scene through the
valley and out over the surrounding
hills with their wooden sides, was dis
NAL with clinging mist and pattering
rain.
The seconds paced eff the distance,
the tive men were placed with their
backs toward each other, the pieces
were loaded, aud to the shouted one,
two, three, given by one Of the seconds,
they turned and fred. Jarvis was
wounded through the fieshy part of the
left arm, while his bullet whistled saw
agely Just above his antagonists head.
"Are you satisfied" said the wounded
mans second to the others friend.
"Waldron wants another shot, Twas the
reply.
A stern, savage smile lighted up the
features of young Jarvis as his arm was
bound up to staunch the blood, but he
said not word. The rifles were loaded
again, and once more to the shouted
signal the two men wheeled and fired.
The reports were almost simultaneous.
Waldron ran forward few steps, stag
gered, reeled, and fell into the arms of
his friend bleeding and senseless. He
was shot through the heart. Jarvis
went slowly home, saddled his horse,
and, telling his family that he was GO
ing to Monticello, left the country.

SOdOni.

We read in the Scriptures, that when
the wrath of God was kindled against
Sodom, then Abraham prayed that 1t
might yet be spared if fifty, forty,
twenty, nay even ten righteous should
be found therein. Less than ten will
now suffice to save the Republican party
from the commission of a crime which
will, in wickedness, rival the sins that
gave their bad pre-emincnce to Sodom
and GomorTah.
To strike down guiltless man, under
the pretense that he has committed GER
tain named "criI0es and misdemean-
ors," when all the world knows he has
not committed one of them-but is
struck down for the advantage of a
clique of greedy politicians; this, in our
age and country, is a crime, foul and de-
testable in the sight of God and man.
For those who do it, violate their solemn
oaths; they prostitute, for the first time
in American annals, the sacred forms of
Justice; they trsmple on the great de-
fences of truth anG innocence. If the
High Court convened under the Con-
stitution of the United States, with the
first officer of the law presiding over
the chosen Senators of twenty-seven
enlightened Commonwealths-if this
Court fail to Judge righteously, what
lower Court shall ever resist the conta-
gion of this great but infamous exam
plei
This is the salt that has, till now, saw
ed our institutions from complete cor
ruption that party passion and vio-
lence have always been restrained and
curbed within the letter of the law.
But, to-day stream of venal politicians
are whispering in the ears of the sworn
Judges-"convict for the good of our
party.P A thousand shameless presses
raise the cry, and with brazen throats,
echo it throughout the land. Yet, sure
ly as justice-human and diyine-does,
at last, prevail even on this earth (of
which villains live incredulous and die
certain), 80 surely wilful and deliber-
ate crime will bring no good to the par
ty that does it, nor to the nation that
tamsly suffers it.-Age.
