| Abbeville.
AbbeviIle is excited over the senatorial elec
tion to tako place next Tuesday. The Conser-
vatives hope to elect James s. Cothran.
A negro was shot, though not mortally, ut
Lowndesyille, on Saturday, the 9Th inst. A
young man named Magruder has been arrest
| ed, charged with the act.
| The Abbeville Banner says: "Jerry Hollins-
| head, Lem. Gufiin and Two others, went q few
| days since to Colonel Patterson's plantation
Tor the purpos, OF arresting his former over
ecr-Rlchardson-on a charge OF having been
concerned In whipping o negro last fall.
Though Mr.. Richardson is an old and feeble
man, they actually put handouts on him
Being demonstrated with by some who met
them, they removed the handouts, tied the
limbs of the old man with a cord, and gave
him in charge to negro to drive him on to
this place!'
Speaking of tho business before the Circuit
Court III Abbeville, the Press says: THE ju-
ries. in spite Of adverse agencies and antlclpa-
ted obstacles, are fully up to the usual stand
ard of Abbeville jurors. OF the eighteen grand
Jurors drawn, but twelve were served; the rest
being negroes could not be identified by their
registered names. Hence there were no blacks
on the grand jury. Of the thirty one petit ju-
rors only ten were served for the same reason,
and of these three were negroes. On each of
the petit jures there was one negro. The
grand jury, it will be recollected serves for the
whole year. Its foreman was William A. Giles,
Esq. OF the petit juries, Mr.. F. A. Connor
and j. R. Tarrant, Esq, were respectively
elected toremen. The new bills found by the
grand jury involved no cases of very ag8raya-
ted character. No bills were given out against
those citizens OF our district against whom
charges had been preferred of completely IN
the killing of Randolph. The Attorney Gene
raj, Chamberlain, it is said, was expected up
to attend to these cases, but did not come, and
we have our doubts whether he ever will come
The grand jury ignored the bill charging DR..

Brooks with the killing Of negro at White
Hall at the election last fall"

THREATENING TONE OF THE ENG
LLSH COMMENTS UPON SUMNER'S
SPEECH.

The London papers are still harpins upon
Mr.. Summers speech. The Times says it is
time that Americans should understand that
England will resist such demands to the last
extremity. It says that ''unless there be get
tied design to pick quarrel with US, Mr.. Sum-
ner's policy is too preposterous to bs enter
tanned. The attempt to reawaken buried ami.
mosties is, indeed, little short OF criminal; but
the e1travagant Misrepresentation found me-
cessary for the purpose afford us slight assar'
ances of the destined failure of the attempt" !"
The Saturday Rs7iow warns the people OF
the United States against the probable re-
suit of putting Mr.. Summers views into action,
for "they will then understand that there is a
limit to the patience of Englishmer." The
Telegraph drains cup Of cold comfort from
the fact that american Alabamas are almost
openly fitting out for Cuba at the precise mo-
ment when the Americans are demanding from
England damages to be counted by scores Of
millions sterling for the depredations of a
cruiser which we perhaps even strained the
law in. endeavoring to detain." Intelligent
Englishmen are becoming seriously alarmed
at the condition OF affairs between the Two Ia
tions. The Beehive publishes the following
letter
SR-The information respecting the pros
poets Of English emigration, which l was re-
quested to procure, had been collected to the
best OF my ability, and I was about to senl it
for publication ID your columns, but the speech
OF Mr.. Sumner has had 30 great an effect in re.
viving American hostility to England, and the
continuance Of friendly relations bstween the
two countries appears ct this moment to be in
such peril, that fear the promoters and OF.
ganizers OF English emigration cannot for the
present prudently turn their thougatS III this
direction. Judging from what know of the
general temper of the American people, aud
from The language respecting Mr.. Summers
speech which I hear held in conversation, |
should say there would be no rupture; but, at
the same time, hold myself prepared for a
turn Of AFFAIRS which would oblige English
residents to leave this country.
Yours, &c., GOODWIN SMITH.
Boston, April 1e.
The Pail Mall Gazette, in its comments
upon this letter, says the time has passed for
ignoring or attempting to conciliate American
hostility. "Mr. Summers charges ought not
to be passed over, for great State cannot af-
ford to lay aside its selfrespect when dealing
with it's equals" The article conludes with
advising Lord Clarendon to use very firm Ian
guage to Mr.. Motley on his arrival.

Bishops James and Simpson, deputed by
the bishops OF the Methodist Episcopal Church
North, visited the meeting OF bishops OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, in st.
Louis, on the 7th, and proposed action with a
view to reunion. The latter body four days
after made written reply, stating that they
had no authority to negotiate for reunion, re-
mindng the deputation that proposals to that
end had been made By the Church South some
years ago and rejected, and complaining that
the conduct II the Northern Church iowa rds
the Southern had since the war been sue b as
naturally to promote state of feeling which
made reunion impossible.

sg- SARATOGA "A' SPRING WAFER.
Saratoga, in the State of New York, is one of the
most remarkable mineral reservoirs upon the surface
of the globe. Within an area OF o mile in diameter
are some thirty mineral springs-no two of them
alike In some Of the waters, Chloride OF Sodium
predomnetes in others, Iodine, Magnesia, Sulphur,
Chalybeate &c. The beneficial effects Of some OF
these waters, as medicinal agents, are known
throughout the civilized wo Id. Probably one hum
dred thousand persons visit these Springs annually
Many hundred thousand bottles of the water are
Transported ard consumed in the various localities
of the country.
The SARATOGA "ia'' SPRING WATER is pro-
badly the most effective mineral water found on
either continent It will be observed that it has ten
per cent. greater mineral properties than the cele
brsted Congress Spring; four times that of Baden.
Baden of Austria; fva times that Of AK 10 Chapele
in Prussia; twice that Of vichy in France; nearly
three times greater than the renowned Setter Of
Germany; and equally over the Spas Of Bath, Eng.
land, and Kissengen in Bavaria.
The reputation of this waler is based upon its
effects in diseases Of the stomach, liver, bowels,
kidneys and spleen, and acts with wonderful bene-
ft in cases Of Chronic Dyspepsia, Constipation,
Gravel, Gout, Scrofula. Cutaneous Affections, Gene
lal Lethargy, Soreness and Prostraion of the sys.

THE THUNDERR ON THE ALABAMA CAAlm1s
LONDON, May 2s.-The Times, discussing the
Alabama CLAIMS, ssys England has equal cause
Of complaint against America. Great Britain
resisted the temptation to recognize the South,
thereby inHicting suffering on her own people,
disobHging an ally, and in fact declared in
favor Of the North, and Is now misunderstood
and aeeused Of hostility and selfshness. Sir
Francis Head communicates several additional
Official documents TO prove the assistance
rendered by America to the Canadian revolt IN
1857. He asserts that Summers speech ap-
plies equally to that and the Alabama claims,
but that England never claimed nor received
indemnity.
