This state of things soon led to a demand,
first for turnpikes and river improvements,
and then for railroads, to be paid for by
the State at large. That this demand
should be resisted by the property holders
of the Eastern portions of the State, who
were to be directly benefited neither IN

Two companies Of United States troops
went up to Laurens and Newberry to-day.
Tho last intelligence from the scene of ac-
ton is that seven men were killed. Two
Of the Constabulary and four negroes were
killed in the streets of Laurens The diff
ficulty has been brewing some time, famed
by the fanatical breath of Joe Crews. 1t
came very near bursting forth on the day
of the election. Crews called on his mill
tia to get their arms, they got them, but
by the time they had done so, there were as
many Winchesters in the hands of the
whites At this juncture, when collision
seemed impossible to be avoided, Colonel
Smith, alone, came into the Public Square,
ordered the negroes to put away their
arms, to vote, and go home. They ODE yed
him, when the whites did likewise at the
request of the Sheriff. Col. Smiths COM
mand left next day, when the constabula-
ry started to arrest man named Johnson,
Tennesseean, cursed and abused him,
and thus the smouldering emblems were
famed into breeze.
The gallant Crews, after bringing on
the difficulty on the day Of election, cow
ardly sought the protection of the United
States troops. Having set the mischief
afoat he intended to take precious care OF
his cowardly carcass. He started the row
to make innocent and ignorant men suffer
They went for him, however, secured the
whole country SO far he is still missing
There are various reports concerning him

From the London Standard
General Lee


The announcement that General II. Z,
Lee has been struck down by paralysis,
aud not expected to recover, will be re-
ceivcd, even at this crisis, with universal
interest, and will everywhere excite sym :
pathy and regret which testify to the deep
impression made on the world at large by
his character and achievements. Few arc
the generals who have earned, since his
tory began q greater military reputation
still fewer are the men Of similar eminence,
civil or military, whose personal Qualities
would bear comparison with his. The
bitterest enemies OF bis country hardly
dared to whisper a word against the char
acter Of her most distinguished general,
while neutrals regarded him with an admi-
ration for his deeds and respect for bis
lofty and upselfsh nature which almost
grew into Vencration, and his own country
men learned to look up to him with as
much confidence and esteem as they ever
felt for Washington. and with an affection
which the cold demeanor and austere tenn
per of Washington could never inspire.
Ihe death OF such man, even at a mo-
ment SO exciting as the present, when all
thoughts are absorbed by nearer and
present conflict, would be felt as misfor-
tune by all who still retain any recollection
of the interest with which they followed
the Virginia campaigns, and by thousands
who have almost forgotten the names of
Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, the
Wilderness and Spottsylvania. Truer
greatness, a loftier nature, spirit more
unselfish, a character purer, more chiyal-
rous, the world has rarely, if ever known.

How General Cox was Driven Dat OF the
CabInct-c;pInions Of Republican Jour
malls
The Washington correspondent Of the
Missouri Democrat Republican paper
says:
"Sinco the revoking Of a standing or
der of the Interior Department by the
President is generally cited as one of the
causes which led to tho resignation Of
Secretary Cox, the facts in the case are of
interest. The Secretary did not, IA has
been widely stated issue q new order di-
recting the time taken by clerks in going
home to vote to be deducted from their
regular vacation or pay. Last year, how
ever, when the question Of granting leave
for the purpose OF voting came up, ten
days were given, without regard to regu-
lar vacation. 1t subsequently appeared
that nearly all the clerks took their regular
leave of thirty days and the ten days in
addition, and, as Congress had reduced
| the force very materially, The public
business was seriously delayed. The
Secretary then, with the approval Of the
! President, gave notice that next or the pre-
sent year he should require that the time
! for the regular vacation should be so
chosen as to covor the day Of election,
otherwise the time taken, if, together with
| the vacation, it exceeded twenty days,
should be deducted from their pay. This
| year the attention Of the clerks was called
to the arrangement thus previously agreed
upon. Chandler and Cameron at once
went 10 the President and represented this
as new thing and great outrage, and
| without investigating the matter at all he
! Immediately revoked it."
The Chicago Tribune (Ropublican) says:
1.-THE report, which we were ct first in
clined to di3credit, that Secretary Cox has
resigned his position at the behests of q
few disreputable politicians. who insisted
on their right to levy taxes on clerks in the
Interior Department for party purposes,
turns ont to be true. For the first
time in our national history, and,
let us hope. for the last, O cabi-
net officer has been compelled to
yield his place because he would not
allow 1t to be turned into a sponging
house. Cameron and Chandler. who are
said to be at the head Of Mr.. Cox's pur-
suers, are q pair of high political bummers
In point of usefulness to the party, TO say
nothing Of any other species of usefulness
they are not for moment to be compared
with the quiet, industrious and high prin-
cipled Secretary Of the Interior. No sa-
gaclOus political manager would swap the
latter for the two former. Both Cameron
and Chandler have been skillful and for
turate in navigating the political cur
rent, SO as TO keep in good places them
selves, bat neither Of them ever added tt
, the party strength one vote more than ht
!, repelled. In accomplishing the remova
of secretary Cox for the reasons assigned
they have done both the party and thu
President the greatest possible injury
Cameron nearly ruined the Republican ad
ministration in he short space of nint
, months, aud he will ruin any other that h,
is allowed to have any influence with.

laws as Joe Crews and his bands of ruff
fans, the better il will be for the pros

The house of Mr.. Edmund Davis was
entirely consumed last night, by fire, at
labout two O'Clock. The fire was seen
issuing from the back piazza, and was, I'M
doubtedly. the work of incendiaries.-
Nothing was saved. He was insured for

guarding their armory here. It is need
less to say that our citizens have no design
upon them. We understand there will be
over two hundred cases of illegal voting
sent up frpm this county. Persons from
Newberry, Kershaw, and North Carolina
voted in our county. There are five hun
dred cases from Edgefield, and any quantity
occurred at Laurens. Eugene.
LATER.
The news received here Friday evening
(says the Columbia Phonix,) of troubles
at Laurens Court House, produced deep
feeling in the community. The report that
Governor Scott designed to send up the
two negro companies have created much
| excitement. which was increased by the
| unusual display of colored uniforms and
guns on the street. About 8 o'clock p. n.,
| gentleman from Governor SCOTS Office
! brought the assurance that no colored COM
panies would be sent from Columbia. This
led to public quiet. We learn that Messrs.
Hoge and Hubbard went up to Newberry,
Friday night, and remained an hour or
| two. We have heard of several inhamma-
| tory remarks which should be brought to
notice. One case we intend to bring for
ward. A gentleman informed us that he
heard MIR. J. B. Dennis, otherwise known
as " General" say to crowd Of coiored
men, in reference to tie affair at Laurens,
that they ought to take their Winchester
rifles, and go and kill these people off,
&C., &c. Mr. Dennis, we believe, has
some official connection with the Adjutant-
Generals office here. AS he is SO belliger-
ent, we hope that Governor Scott viii send
! him, ut leasF, to the front.
The Pho}nic adds:
We learn that the excitement has sub.
sided Of Jaurons. and that all is quiet It
is reported that five white and three col
orcd men were killed III the difficulty that
occurred and that the firing, which re-
suited in the death of these men, COM
mepced between a citizen and member
of the State constabulary. Our informant
states that the United States troops sent
to Laurcns will be received with satisfac-
ton, as the community desire law and or
der. The whole difficulty, it is claimed,
resulted from the arming Of the colored
people. This led tho whites, in self de-
fence, to arm themselves. Hence, the
firing, and the result.

FOUNDER IN HORSES.

Many years ago learned a cure
for founder in horses which is so
simple, and proved 80 successful in
my hands, that | send it 10 you,
thinking it may be of service To
some of your readers. Clean out
bottom of foot thoroughly-hold up
the leg so n to bring the bottom Of
the hOof upward, holding it firmly
in a horizontal position, and pour
i'm, say n table spoonful of spirits
turpentine, if the cavity or the foot
will hold that much-if not, pour
i'm what it will hold, without danger
of running over; touch the turpen-
tine with red hot iron (this will
set II on lire) hold the hOOf firmly
in position until it all burns out.
Great care must be taken that
none runs over on the hair of the
hoOf, lest the skin be burned. If
oil the feet be affected, burn turpen-
tine in each Of them. Relief will
speedily follow and the animal be
ready for service in a short time.
i once applied this remedy to
horse that had been foundercd
twenty-four hours before saw him,
and he was promptly relieved. In
another ease, where the animal
could hardly be Induced to move,
his suffering was so great, he was
treated i'm the same manner rs soon
n his trouble was discovered, and
less than an hour aftcrward he was
hitched 10 a buggy and driven some
twenty-five miles the same day
all lameness disappearing after he
had travelled few miles. 49, Cor.

Breed the hog that natures early.
and by this ! mean "a hog that Will
begin TO fattcn - soon 8 you begin
to feed, and Will grow and thrive as
long a. youare disposed to feed him.
i think no argument is needed 10
prove To any one that this kind o.
hog will be the most profitable, il
not the only Bind that will he profit
able NJ all. Time was when we
had no market or pork except at a
certain season Of the year, and far
mers made their arrangements To
only have money once a year. But
all these things have changed.
Money and fat hogs are in demand
every day IN the ycar.-IIence the
necessity and Importance Of having
the hog that natures early. In
order Co do this we must get rid of
the idea that we can find a breed
that will in the proper time make
hogs Co weigh five 20 six hundred
pounds.
I have no doubt that there are
several breeds that will do this If
you keep them long enough, but
the question j. whether il is better
10 raise for attempt TO raise one
hog that will reach six hundred
pounds. or two that Will reach six
hundred pounds, or two that Will
weigh three hundred pounds each:
And i'm answer To- this | hold that
fifty hogs can Dc procured that Will
weigh three hundred each at one
year old cai-cT and with less feed
than twenty-five can that will
weigh six hundred pounds. Now if
this be- true, then the argument j.
vastly i'm favor of the fifty three
hundred pound hogs, az that size,
If they are fat aud smooth as they
ought To- be, will command rs good
"A figure in the market IL any other.
4 am in favor of producing the
hog that will give him the best re-
turns in the shortest time, and to
do this dreams of mammoth hogs
by the score must be abandoned un-
less you seek nOtoriety, and not
money.-tor. Rird Messenger.
