We clip the following paragraphs from
the Columbia Herald of Saturday:
STABBING AFFRAY.-On last Monday
J. NJ. Tidwell was stabbed twice in the left
cheek and FIVE times in the back with
large pocket knife by colored man named
Archv Cheatham. The ARRAY occurred on
the farm of s. r. Kittrell, near Mt. Pleas.
ant. The negro escaped, and it is supposed
by some that he ia now secreted in this
town or vicinity. Officer Sug Nixon fol.
lowed him 10 this city and used all dill
gence in the pursuit. He also went to
Franklin and Culleoks, but his search has
so far proved unsuccessful. The negro is
copper-colored, weighs 155 or 100 pounds,
and ia about 80 years of age.
SHOT Him. Bob ERainey, (col ) known
as the driver Of Bars furniture wagon,
got i'll fight with Charley Glenn, a lad,
one day this week, in which he jerked a
pistol from the lads hand and fred its
contents at him, which, however, missed
the mark. He was arrested and brought
before Esquire Wood yesterday, but the
case was continued until one o'clock, to-
day.
MARROW EsCAPE-Tommy Begley, the
accommodating little news boy of the Co
lumbia Accommodation, very narrowly es-
capped being killed Tuesday last. In a.
tempting to cross the track in front Of
moving train, he fell and certainly would
have been crushed to death but for the
timely assistance of that reliable" old
gentleman, Tommy Douglas, who snatched
himup in time to save his life.
CoTToN The cotton crop has been
coming into town pretty freely during the
pact week, and bought by the various cot
ton merchants as follows: r. II. Jamison,
Agent for J. Z. Woodside & Co., IS bales;
Josh. g. Bailey, Agent for T. Parkes &
Co, 66 bales; w. NJ VOORHEES,, Agent for
Bailey, Ordway & Co., loo bales; Martin
g. Packard, 10 bales; D. A. Davidson, 30
bales; Harris, Friersou & Co., $50 bales;
John Frierson & Co., Agents for W. J.
Frierson & Co., New Orleans, ia. The
ruling prices by all the buyers, 20a214.
PAINFUL Academia few days since,
Mr.. James Huey of Huey's Mills, in this
county, was considerably used up by log
10 his saw mill. Although his wounds are
quite painful, yet we are glad they are not
dangerous, but will compel him to use
crutches for some time TO come We hope
he NAV soon recover entirely

4 Novel shipment.

Messrs. Craighead, Breast & Gibson yes
terday shipped twenty-five dozen axe
handles, manufactured at their factory
near Edgefeld Junction, to Australia. The
shipment was made to Mr.. Park, the Presi-
dent of an English company, who has con-
tracted With the above firm for furnishing
the handles regularly. They are made out
of hickory, and are equal to the very best.
In this connection we will state that a
factory is now going up id Humphrey 3
county with the machinery capable Of turn
ing out two hundred and Fifty dozen axe
handles daily. Messrs. Craighead, Breast
& Gibson are to be the agents for their
sale, and no doubt their will hereafter be a

Tennersee in ConCres..

By reference to the proceedings of Con-
gress as given in our Geographic depart
ment il viii be seen that Tennessee mem
bers of the House have started in with full
hands Mr.. Maynard presented Hsmil-
toms credentials and moved their refer
erence. While they we're being considered
Mr.. Maynard wanted the courtesy of the
floor extended to the gentleman "from Ten
nessee at large" but the House was not go
kindly disposed and refused the courtesy
indicated. MIR. Stokes wanted the consti-
tuition 80 reconstructed that no State shall
make laws forhidding franchise on account
of race or color. Mr.. Maynard, not 10 be
outdone by Mr.. Stokes, introduced bill
to the same effect. The irrepressible Null
lins wants people seeking relief from po-
litical disabilities 10 give thirty days no.
tice of application 10 Congress, and intro
duces bill to have the thing done that
way. He also wants to outlaw gentlemen
connected with Ku Klux Klans, and de-
sires Congress to give him some assistance
IN the accomplishment Of that highly patri-
o,ic purpose. 1t must not, however, be
supposed that Mullins, OF Stokes, or
Maynard, wish to run for Governor. Not

Mr.. J. r. Goldsborough, formerly Of the
drug store of r. A. Robinson & Co., in this
city, but now travelling sgent for 3. A.
Fahnestock & Son, Pittsburg, relates very
singular coincidence He left Pittsburg at
3:l3 A. NJ. Friday to join his family, who
are living in Louisville. Before starting
he felt a strange uneasiness about the trip
before him, and, on applying for railway
ticket, he told the agent that be was afraid
TO risk the route by way Of Cincinnati
The agent rallied him about his misgiviDg'
aud told him he would warrant
his safe arrival at his destination
BIZ the all-rail Panhandle line. He ac-
cordingly secured a ticket on that road.
Still entertaining an unaccountsb lie fear,
he purchased two life-insurance policies OF
five thousand dollars each, for the first
time in travelling experience of thirteen
years. In taking the through rail route
he avoided Cincinnati and the Inflated
steamboat United States, arriving at Lou
isville Just in time to hear Of the awful
disaster, and receive the afectionate con-
gratulations Of his wife and children at his
hair.breadth escape from horrid death.
simultaneously with Mr.. Goldshorough,
the old man Fahnestock and his daughter
left Pittsburg on pleasure trip, and were
among the victims on the United States.
