A Horrible Crime.
From, the LouiSrille Lcdqcr.

We arc called upon to record another
of those horrible crimes that lave of late
become so frequent, and which shock by
their atrocity all who hear them. On
Tuesday night OH the Turnpike between
New Albany and the Charlestown road,
a negro attempted to violate the daugh-
ter OF Mr.. Amos Stacey highly respoc-
ted citizen of Clark county, Indiana The
screams of the terrified girl, and her
struggles TO free herself from the black
tiend who had seized her, were heard by
the family Of Mr.. Stacey, whose resi-
dcnce was near by, and the father started
to the rescue of his child. But he had
proceeded but short distance when he
fell dead from heart disease, brought on
by the startling danger and excitement
produced upon him by it.
The would-be rayisher, in the excite
ment that followed, succeeding III max
ing his escape, and the girl was saved.
The neighborhood was alarmed, and
search made in all directions for the
black fiend, but lie succeeded in evading
pursuit, and got safely away. The en-
tire neighborhood in which Mr.. Stacey
resided is in an intense state of excite
ment, and thereisnot the slightest doubt,
if the negro is arrested, that he will at
once be strung up to the nearest tree,
without Judge or jury. Mr.. Stacey was
a most excellent citizen, and his death
under such terrible circumstances has
raised the passions of the people in that
vicinity to the highest pitch, and it will
not be safe for amy negro who may be
found loafing around that vicinity for
sometime to cCmc.

ton to obtaining and forwarding English

it matter Of public interest to tho South,
we desire that you would give it publici-
ly. We have also received many letters
from persons residing in some of the
Northern and Western States, making
inquiries for lands that can be purchased
by actual settlers, as to their character,
location, price, terms, health, &c; and
also inquiries from others who desire to
move South, and obtain employment as
agricultural and other laborers, as to the
amount of wages that would be paid,
and other particulars.
With the view OF promoting imni-
grafton, we invite all persons who de-
sire to obtain reliable white labor to send

The Questiongof the Over Issue of


tt--9i Bonds.
AS our readers may presume, [says the
Columbia Phenixlw we have not The hon
or of Governor SCOTS confidence. Nor
does the Phenixinterview people whose
statements, after they are made, may
just as well beideemed false as true. AS
his Excellency issnow arraigned before
the bar of the public, and has been pla
ced by. the. New York World in the
criminals dock, it is proper that his de
fence be heard. The correspondent of
the Charleston C61aier has interviewed
Gov. Scott. About the only practical
piece of information he gives, is that ar
rangemcnts have been made to take the
financial agency os the State from the
present agent andgplace it in the hands OF
the Union Trust Company, of New
York. That is, Gov. Scott q Co. propose
to lock the stabio doors liter the horses
of the State have been stolen; and he,
perhaps, not the least notorious in the
band of the Radical officials who have
grown fat and waxed saucy upon the
bleeding and mutilated body of pros
trate Carolina. Why, we ask his Excel
1ency, did you make limpton your ii
nancial agent in New York, and place
millions of State securities in his un-
known hands, without eXacting even a
bond from him., such as an assistant
cashier gives in ono of cur city banks?
You and your advisers, we say to his
EXceilency, are responsible i'll law and
morals for all that the State of South
Carolina may lose from the great conspi-
racy-fnancial-Shereby unknown mil
lions may perhaps have been added to
the public debt Of South Carolina. Is it
s.,;t that the H. s;s'Jo o. Iiris state
NAV now be over S25,OOO,OOO? II so,
can our poor and plundercd people pay
81, 100000 per annum interest on that
debt, and, besides that sum, the current
expenses of the Government? Whittier
are wc drifting? Whittier sails the ship
o: State? Ind what says the Attorney
General Of tic State? Have you no du-
tics in this crisis to discharge? If the
State has been plundcrcd-if the 'reasu-
ry has been invaded-as we know is the
casc-is it not the duty OF the Attorney
General to proceed against the plumber
crs? Where frauds were alleged in
New York, Gov. Hoffman put his At
torney-Genoral to work. II Scott is no
Hoffman, is it also the cas-" that Cham
berlain is no Champaign? We said that
this man Kimpton would cost the State
at least Sl,000,OO0.
Is it that our estimate was very mode
rate? 1t looks very much like it. Alas
for South Carolina, when swindlers and
robbers prey upon her, and then ido
themselves under the United States flag
Scott q Co. plnnder our people, and then
call upon Grant, and heputs them under
military rule!

ns- The Macon (Ga.) Ielegraph, under
the heading of Grand Collapse of South
Carolina Carpet-Baggism in Wall street" "
says: cit will be seen by the morning
dispatches that the carpet-bag plunder-
ers of South Carolina are in New York
endeavoring to cover up their tracks and
secure their plunder. According to the
World, who has looked into the matter,
over twenty millions of State bonds have
been printed and fraudulently issued
for tho negotiation of which the Finan-
cial Agent holds claims against the State
to the amount of S4,OOO,OOO Scott issues
a manifesto claiming that nine millions
of these bonds have never been signed
or issued but who c"n believe word OF
what he says? We fear the old State is
gone up at last-a victim alike to Radical
fraud and tyranny. The best we can
hope for is, that the money loss will fall
ON the Radicals who back such whole
sale swindling with Government bayo'
nets. Surely the deva1 of fraud and vii
lainy has broke loose, and is raging open
mouthed all over the country"

Twas milking timfs, and the COWS came
From the meadows sweet with clover,
And stood in the lane, while pretty Jane.
Had a quiet chat with the drover-
Such aauiet chat that it scarcely seemed
That single word was spoken;
While amagicispell with the night dews
And the rythmof song was unbroken
The cattle stood at the lovers side,
Without any show Of veXation,
AS though impressed that a five bar rest
Was "a part of their rest oration.
And as Jane listened to the notes that
iae came Il Sg:hSE
Right underthe bars and over,
Her heart took wing, the silly thing,
And nestled up close to the drover.
She heard him sayhis home was poor,
That he'd nothing but love to give
And she She smiled, content, as though
Love had spent
She smiled content, when the evening
With voices Of bids are ringing,
And her lips confessed that lowly nest
Should never prevent her singing.
So over.the bars the lovers lean,
In the joy of their sweet communion ;
And their looks declare that poverty
ne'er
Shall be bar to their union;
o, sweetestmusic, go thread your rhymes
Now under the3ba and over
Where pretty Jane, in the fragrant lane,
Bewitched the heart Of the drover.
