AFFAIRS IN UNIoN.-A friend writes as
follows, under date of Union G. H., No
vember IA:
There is every indication that VIC are
to have trouble in this vicinity.
There are two negro companies here
armed and equipped for battle.
Last Saturday night about $50 negroes
assembled one mile from this place and
fred several volleys. A picket of five
negro men was posted Mt Thomas
Hughes gate. Hughes becoming alarm
ed, reported the matter to the officers in
command of the garrison. A lieutenant
took squad of soldiers and went to
Hughes. The picket challenged the
party; the former, however, were arrest
ed and brought to town; whereupon the
Captain released them, and las T have
learned) upon the ground that they be-
longed to the militia.
Last night some persons threw rocks
at Thomas Hughes house, and also ut
William Faucets. Faucet made his
escape; after which, the parties attacking
approached the house and swore if Eau
cett was within, they would burn the
house down.
Last night, also, some persons fred
two balls into John Fl. Gallman's house,
one OF which came very near the head OF
little girl asleep. Mr.. Gallman lives
two miles from this place, and more
worthy and peaceable citizen lives not in
South Carolina. The train has come.
and therefore must close.

THE city of Erie is now lighted by
natural gas, obtained by the Erie Gas
Company from well sunk their
works. Thirteen gas wells are now
in successful operation in various
parts of the city. They. are mostly
used to furnish fuel and lights for the
manufacturers. Other wells are being
sunk. Gas is found at an average
depth of 500 feet, and the average
yield per well is upwards of 10000
cubic feet per day. The gas requires
no publication, and is being radidly
introduced. into private houses for fu-
Ell. Thus far every well put down
has proved a success. av
