F1END1sn. 0vTRAGE-We learn from
h reliables6ufcc that a most horrible out:
rage was on Monday pcrpetrated on apoor
hut respectable white woman living few
nnailes from this town The woman, whose
name from motives of sympathy and
delicacy we suppress, was living with a
married sister and on last Monday this
sister went off for the day leaving the
house andher children in the care OF the
poor girl. During this absence q negro
scoundrel went to the place and after a des-
neratc but Intellectual resistance foully out
ragged the weak and unprotected girl. She
was severely choked' and her mouth and
eyes filled with sandby the monster during
the struggle. To-day she is suffering
acutely from the personal injury and, who
can estimate how deep is the scfrow she
must feel under the sense OF that moral
ininry of which she was the victim. The
pcrpctrator of this deed Of horror Was not
recognized, being unknown to h:s y,:ttim
And vet such deeds in South Ca.olina arc
no loNgcr punished by death
Since receiving this information We
learn that there is every reason 20 suppose
that one Benjamin Finklea, q desperate
villain against whom there arc three war
rants, including that yesterday issued
against him for this crime, was the pcrpe-
traitor of the deed, Let allg good men, who
have homes to protect, look out for the
outlaw-MariGn Crescent, 5th.

OBITUARY..

DIED. on the 7th June last, at his resi-
dence in Granitcyille, of a Pulmonary
disease, Mr. WILLIAM W. TREAD
WAY. son Of WILSON and SARAH TREAD
WAY, in the 26thryear of his age, leaving
a disconsolate widow, two children, moth
er, and. numerous relations and friends
to mourn their loss, which we believe is
his eternal gain, for in all his aflliction,
which was lingering and painful indeed,
he exhibited Christian fortitude and res
ignation, saying frequently to the writer
and others, that he loved Jesus Christ,
and trusted in him alone for salvation,
and desired to live only that he might
serve Him, and proved the sincerity of
his love and faith by obedience to His
commands. Therefore. cheer up, ye
mourning friends, for thy husband, son
and brother shall lire again. For if we
believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them that s, eep in Jesus, will
God bring with him." w. L. H.

Very powerful in New York, Newark

very naturally abhor and detest also the
Orangemen.
To-day, Wednesday 18th, is an ami
vcrsary day with the orangemen, and in
New York. Nswark. ]. Trenton, SIS, they
have made great preparations for grand
parade and partizan demonstration. But
so bitter is the feeling between them and
the Hibernian Societies, and SO apparent
are the probabilities of bloody strife be-
tween the two parties, that the municipal
authorities OF New York have absolutely
forbidden the Oraneemen to parade on
the 10Th, and have-ordered the militia tc
be in readiness to suppress outbreaks
This has created immense excitement
and indignation. Party spirits running
high, and universal apprehension exists
that the day may not pass off without
serious destruction to life and property

AN Outrage.

L. is our duty to record one of the most
brutal outrages that was ever committed
in this or any other County. This outrage
;ras committed on the night Of the Both
iuae, at the residence Of Mr.. Harrison
Scott; whois one Of our best citizens, and
who resides in the Western portion of the
County, near BIT. Gallagher post office.
Al the time, Mr.. Scott was absent on
business, having gone to Hones Path for
The purpose of selling cotton
About l o'clock on the night mention
.l, band Of negroes, supposed to- be
some ten or twelve Ill number, came to
,lis premises, and first made an attack
Upon the store-room, IN which little boy
sas sleeping. The little fellow, becoming
frightened, ran out, and was fired upon, but
ortunatcly escaped without injury. They
hcn made an attack upon the dwelling
lorse, in which they found Mrs. Scott her
wo children and her mother. Her moth
r fed from the house, and was fired upon
without effect Entering, they demanded
money of Mrs Scott, or information as to
he place in which it was kept Mrs. Scott
,efusing to tell, they proceeded to search
nc room, breaking in pieces a splendid
1urcar and smashing things generally,
mid oaths and all manner of foul Ian
guage. Failing in their search, they re-
urned to Mrs. Scott, dragged her from her
}el by the hair of her head, fired pistols
around her person, and finally presented
them at her bosom and swore. that she
must either tell or die. She was still
firm They then carried her daught
through the same ordeal, with like result.
Selling upon little son, they held him up
BY the hair of the head and swore if he
did not tell them where they could find
the money they would cut his throat from
ear to car. In his fright the child refer
red them to certain trunk, where they
,ound and took some $500 in gold ..and
.ilver-mostly gold.
All this was done amid the most horrid
oaths and abusive language. After this
the band returned to the storeroom, where
they obtained some $40 more and were
only prevented from sacking it by the
gathering of the neighbors, who had been
awakened by the firing and the shouting
to the distance of mile or more.

\ Now IN ThE RIGHT DIRECTION
Aiken is to l,avc,a fruit-canning estab-
lishmcnt. Thousands Of bushels OF peach
es are fed to hogs or allowed 10 rot in the
orchards, which, if cpnncd, would bring a
handsome return for he labor and trouble
incident to their Preservation. Impressed
with this conviction. the owners of the
Derby Farm" have ;cni an agent TO New
York to select the ppper machinery and
apparatus, and expcc' to be at work i'll the
course of week or wo. They purpose
canning not only pcadcs, but other fruits
and vegetables, and We see no reason why
this business should rot ultimately be cx-
tended so that it will give profitable en-
ployment to hundreds of labore.s.
It is estimated .tha over 25.000 pack
ages Of canned edible are sold at retail in
this town annually; his indicates the de-
mand which exists i- this class OF feed
not only here, but throughout the South

The Cause of Temperance.

Z Circular of the Grand Worthy Patri-
arch read at the installation of officers,
at Charleston, OH Monday night last:
It must be apparent to every. OBJ
server that intemperance prevails to an
Ealarming extent i'll this State; that the
war and the troubles since, have driven
thousands of our people of good habits
before, to seek relief from their misfor-
tunes in Intoxicating beverages, and it is
to be feared that dissipation is, even now,
on the increase in our beloved old State.
4 Before the war, the temperance cause
was popular iu South Carolina. In al
most every county there were flourish
B ing Divisions Of the Sons of Temperance,
and it Is believed that many Of these, in
state OF suspension for the last ten
years, will embrace the present opportu-
nifty to revive the order and resume the
good work Several hourishing divis-
ions in different localities ssentrepresenta-
tives to Charleston recently, and the
Grand Division of South Carolina has
been fully re-organized.
The form of, application for charter will
be furnished, and should be signed by at
least eight good and true men, apd re-
turned to the office OF L. j. Lamotte,
UraTu ScTlDC3 OOluiuUIst, Iooutil Sdl OAiHd,
will have prompt attention, as will also
orders for Rituals, and all necessary sup
plies incident to the organization OF new
divisions.
It is recommended that at least SD be
sent with every application, to pay for
these supplies, including the charter.
An invitation is cordially extended to
all who formerly belonged to the Order,
to return and assist in the work of recon-
struction; to the members of all, the
churches in the State, and to al others
disposed to make some sacrifices for the
good Of themselves and their country.
tits believed that the circumstances
are favorable for the prompt restoration
Of our Order TO its former high position
in the State, and that it will prove pow
erfully instrumental in restoring to the
Palmetto State,the prosperity and happi
ness OF former times.
Respectfully submitted in Love, Puri-

.Co,,onPIayiuc Ont in Brazil,

1t seelns that the cotton interests OF
Brazil are OH the decline. While the ex-
port OF this staple from Rio Janeiro in
1853 amounted to ll3, ,4e5 bales, they were
In 1869 only 45,OO5 bales-an enormous
falling of-which was further reduced in
1870, when the exports from that port
wero only 1870 (Brazilian) bales. The
exports of cotton from SANTOS during
last year were 243,72r arrobas, equal to
about Is, ,ls0 bales. OF 400 pounds, which;
added to the 1870 bales from Rio, makes
q total export OF cotton from Brazil for
1870, of 81, 100 Brazilian bales, which is
less in weight than $4,000 American
bales.
