THE LATE GARRorING CAsE.-I Wedaes-

THE LATE GARRoTING CAsE-In Wednes-
DAVIS Gazette appeared notice of galrotioe
ca sc that had occurred here the preceding night.
The following is statement Of the affair as
narrated by the sufferer Samuel Edwin Nc
Clellan, soldier from Fort Washington. He
and George Mcdonald aud two other soldiers
from Battery Rodgers, and man dressed in
citizens clothes, had been at house of bad re-
pute on West street, kept by a woman named
Frank Miller. Whilo there he had eaten cake
which be supposed was drugged. At the invi-
tation Of one of the party be had started with
them to some other house, but had not pro-
ceeded far, when having reached sort of
common, one OF them said this is the place, -
and he was suddenly seized by the throat from
behind bent backwards over knee, and rob-
bed of everything on his person, including a
watch that belonged to sergeant Williams of
Company NJ. 4th .. S. Artillery, stationed at
Fort Washington. His ass ATLANTIS hen started
to walk away, leaving him lying Oh the ground,
but as he attempted to rise, one OF them said
'the coat the s-ot bias on is worth ten
dollars; let's have that too" and fearing that
they would murder him if he resisted, he al
lowed them to take his valuable overcoat.-
Having got all he had, the highwaymen ran
off rapidly,in one direction, while he,as speed-
ly as no could, made his way to the station
house.
SENT ON THEIR WAY REJoICING.-O Tues
day evening last, there arrived in Washington,
a widow lady, named Elizabeth Parker, with
two little children, from Maine, in very dest
tute circumstances, on her way to her home at
Port Royal Va She applied at the Seventh
precinct station house for lodging and aid, and
was kindly provided for. The lady reports
that the authorities of the different cities
through which she passed furnished her and
her family with free transportation ever the
several railroads. The police officers made a
liberal collection; and through the kindness OF
the agent of the Southern Steamboat line, Mrs.
Parker and her children were conveyed free to
Fredericksburg, Va, which is about l6 miles
from her home.

TRE PHOSPHATE Sw1NDLE The fol-
lowing is copy of the preamble and re-
solutions adopted at the meeting in
Charleston. on Monday night, copies of
which were transmitted to Gov. Scott
and to both branches of the Legislature
Republicans, Democrats and conserva-
tives participated:
Whereas, there is now pending in the
General Assembly of South Carolina "a
bill TO grant to certain persons therein
named. the exclusive right to dig aud
mine in the beds of the navigablc streams
and waters of the State of South Carroll
ma Tor phosphate rocks and phosphate
deposlts; and, whereas, the granting Of
such exclusive right is contrary to q
sound public policy, because it would
tend to check TINT competition among
capitalists, which it is the high interest
of the State TO foster for the development
OF her internal resources: and. whereos
the supply Of labor in this State is already
IN excess OF the demand, and the majority
OF laborers are therefore compelled to
work Mt gricvously low wages; ard,
whereas, large numbers of laborers are
engaged, on their own account, and in
the employment of small capitalists, in
working these phosphate beds; and,
whereas, the granting of this monopoly
will force these laborers and capitalists
thus engaged to cease the work, and will
place them at the mercy Of the monopo.
lists, who can thereby control their rate
OF wages ut pleasure, as there would he
no competing capital; and, whereas, to
grant this proposed monopoly would be
in violation of the spirit of Repnblicau
Government, because it vests in the
favored few the common rights of all;
therefore,
Resotocd. by the citizens of Charleston,
IN mass meeting assembled. That the
General Assembly Of South Carolina be.
and is hereby, most earnestly appealed
to, in the interest of the people, to re-
ject the bill to grant certain persons the
exclusive right to work the phosphate
beds of the State.
Resoired, That should the said bill
pass the General Assembly, his Excel
lency the Governor is hereby solicited to
veto the same, and as the guardian Of the
rights of the State, and the interests of
the people. he will interpose his const-
tutional authority in checking shame
