The Red Rebellion.

The Paris insurgents Says an ex-
change) hold their own with a wonderful
tanacity, and the end is apparently as
distant as ever. Bloody fighting ends in
blood, the Government troops are NO
nearer Paris than they were week ago,
tnd the bursting bombs from the encir-
cling forts work destruction bat not
intimidation. Dwelling-houses are fol-
lowing the noble Arc de Triolnphe under
the rain of shells from Mont Valerien,
and the deaths among civilians already
equal the number inflicted 10y the long
German bombardment. The insurgents
have mined the houses occupied by the
Versailles troops, at Asnieres; they cir
culate reports of assassination and robbie
~ of the dead by Government agents
riot and disorder reign in the city; the
nationals are poorly paid, and, in short,
the picture is one Of the most utter and
terrible anarchy and madness. Paris has
shown what she could do and endure
while withstanding a foreign enemy, but
those privations and sufferings are as
nothing compared with the horrors
brought upon her by her own citizens
The favorable signs are the expected
arrival Of Gen. Ducrot, with twenty
thousand of the Imperial Guard, and the
anticipated surrender to tie Versailles
Government of the forts about the city
ROW held by the Prussians. Let the end
come whom it will, Paris will be but the
phantom of her former self

THE FLOOD IN THE MIss1ss1pp1-The
Memphis Appeal states that the caving
in of all the bluffs on the eastern side of the
Mississippi, from Cairo to New Orleans,
has led to curious results. Fort. Pillow
has sentirely disappeared. There is not a
vcstaee of the earthworks erected by Cen
eral Pillow and Others at Randolph The
river has, cut cavernous depths for its
strong currents beneath the everlasting
hills, and these have slowly crumbled and
fallen, grain of sand at time, into the
abysscs of the mighty deep. Now and
then hill-sides have disappeared in single
night, and, curiously enough, this work
of desolation goes on mainly upon the
eastern side of the river. Here. at Mem
phis, as at Vicksburg, Columbus, Fort
Pillow and Randolph, the resistless. faith
omless river, whose course none may
anticipate and none can resist, pursues it:
appointed tasks with force and pertinaci'
ty which has lessened property value:
between Wolf river and Fort Pickering
many millions Of dollars:
The Mississippi Pilot is informed tha
the high water in the bottom, along th'
Yazoo Valley, is now within eighteer
inches of being as high as that Of 1857,
Many fine plantations are entirely sub
merged. and serious apprehensions ar
entertained that if the food does not sub
side quickly the cotton crop of that sec
ton will be a failure. The incessant ram
in connection with the breaks in the Mis-
sissippi river levee, is the cause OF tn
overflow. f5.,,

xThe Ally of Thicyes.n

The New York Erening Post, (Repub-
lican,) after showing how South Carroll
ma has been heeced and robbed by an
ignorant band of negroes, directed by
unscrupulous carpet-baggers, says:
Unfortunately the President, in the
South Carolina case, will act on the side
Of the ring" whose handiwork has
been exhibited above. The Federal
Government is to be used under the Ku
lllux bill, not to redeem South Carolina
from its robbers, but to fasten upon the
taxpayers the rule of the scamps who
are plundering it. The Federal power
will appear in the Southern States, un-
der this Ku klux bill, as the. ally OF
thieves, the protector of swindlers, the
guardian Of their plunder.'

THE ADVERTISER.
Edgefeld, s. c., May 4, 1871.
Fea,h of Hon. James NJ. Mason.

tteath OF Hon. James u. mason.
The Savannah Republican, of Sunday,
saws: "Previous tidings had prepared
us for the sad announcement contained in
our columns this morning-the death of
Hon. James Murray Mason, of Virginia.
The event occurred at his residence in
Alexandria, Friday night, and seems to
have been the result of general and
gradual wasting away of thevital powers.
Mr.. Mason was one of the "men OF
mark" of his day, and passed the greater
portion of his life in the public service
He was dintinguished in every position,
few of his contemporaries making so
much enduring fame for craftsmanship
and fearless patriotism.
Mr.. Mason was born in Fairfax coun'
ty, Virginia, in the year 179s, and was
consequently seventy three years Of age,
his native vigor Of constitution enabling
him to attain, in good health, period
allotted to but few. His political aff1lia.
ton was always with the Democratic par
ty, which never failed to honor him with
its highest gifts. He became a member
of Congress in 1887, and served contin-
uously, we believe, in that branch, until
elected to the Senate in lS47. He was q
member of the latter body for fourteen
years, and was the author of the Fugi-
tive Slave law, which, though strictly
conforming to the Constitution, created
an immense excitement among the fana-
tics of the North. After the separation,
he was thoroughly identified with the
fortunes of the Southern Confederacy
and it will be recollected, with Mr.. John
Slidell, was sent by President Davis tc
represent the new government among the
nations Of Europe. The seizure Of these
ambassadors on board the British steam
cr "Trent," while on the high seas, by
Captain Wilkes, of the Federal Navy, il
November 1861, gave rise to an angry
controversy between the United States
and England, which resulted in the sur
render of the prisoners June, 1862, and
their delivery on British soil, for which
they were voyaging when lawlessly cap
tured by the Federal cruiser. Mr.. Ma
son remained in England until the close
OF. the war, when he returned to Virgini;
and retired to private life.

The Execution Last FRIDAY,

Henry Cannon and Taylor Palmer. the
TWO colored men sentenced to be hung last
friday, for the murder of g. NJ Stevens,
IN the night of the 3lst day of December
last, suffered the penalty OF the law as
ordered by the Court They lied without
making any disclosures, except that on the
GAY Of the murder it had been arranged by
negroes in the village to meet at or near
The place where the murder Was commit
ted and 20 from there TO Joncsvllle, about
) miles beyond, TO fight the Ia klux and
il they could not get fight there they
were to call on a respectable citizen who
lives on the road and " take l,s head Of"
The prisoners acknowledged that they were
in the crowd who murdered Stevens, but
PERSISTED in saying they did not commit
the deed They pretended to know none
who were present, except those who had
bcen taken out OF the Jail BY the disguised
parties, and three who are now at large
there is no doubt tley had been led to.
l.lievc thcy would be pardon2d at the
scatlold; but when they stepped upon the
a!atiorm and the sheriff commenced to adj
.r.st the rope around Palm"g's neck all
hope vanished and he fell to the ground
Ihe prisoners We're attended upon by
Golden Foster, colored minister Be-
!ure the rope was cut the minister appeal
Il to them not to die with lie upon their
i.,cuths, but 10 reveal al they knew to
which they replied you know ali" In u
n!onent after the drop fell, and the spirits
of Henry Cannon ard Taylor Palmer were
S,.nt from time to eternity
In conversation with The prisoners, the
.ily before they were executed they told
IL that The Sheriff and Juilor had shown
mem every kindness and attention posi-
lie, and TIP to their last mcments the
.a-:es Of those officers were performed
IN feelings CT delicate consideration for
e: unhappy situation. Ii any blame
=. oe attached to others beside the un
!. .rtunatc victims, it must be placed upon
...e Executive OF the State and the other
leaders, of the Radical party whom these
deiuded men had so blindly followed. The
organizing OF tire negroes as the only law
fully armed force OF the State, and placing
5uns with thousands of rounds OF cart
..:..ges ar their command, encouraged them
10 commit outrages against the peace and
fety Of the citizens, and the assurance
ii their partisan leaders that they would
oo protected by the Governor in any act
ney MAJ commit against the opponents
Q. their party emboldened them to do the
very deed for which they suffered upon the
scaiiold. God grant We may be spared
rom more scenes of blood and violence in
Caion.-Unionville Times, 28th.

RURAL CARoLINIAN FOR MAY.-Vari-
ed, fresh, instructive, decidedly one Of
the best Agricultural monthlies on our
table. The frontispiece, a handsome en-.
craving Of General JOHNSON HAGooD,
President of the South Carolina Agricul
tural and Mechanical Society, is worthy Of
the Magazine and General. General HA-
GOOD is no Militia General, but a Confed-
crate officer, who won his spurs upon the
field of battle, and in taking the lead
in favor of improved agriculture, he is
only following his old habit of being al
ways in the front. Dir. L. M. Pendleton
of Sparta, Ga, DR.. C. U. Sheppard Sr.,
the celebrated chemist, and B. Mason, Of
Fla, Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, and score
of other well posted planters, make their
contributions to this number. A glance
at the names of the various places at
which correspondents date their contri
buttons is convincing proof of the wide
circulation and extensive influence Of the
Rural Carolinian. The only wonder is
that such Magazine can be supplied at
the low rate of 50 per annum, and yet
afford a reasonable profit to the publish
ers. Messrs. WALKER, EVANS & CoGs-
