SOUTH AMERICAN GOLD Discoveries.
1t never rnins but it pours, and the die
oovery OF Arizona diamonds as big as
pumpkins and much more plentiful, il
followed by reports of gold fields from
the land OF the Orinoco. whose shining
ore takes the shine all off the now
prosaic Pacific slope Of our own Union.
The gleam of hidden treasure now re-
vealed in gems and precious metals
scintillates through the brains of eager
fortune hunters. and only the stability Of
our young men, so far famed, keeps
them from deserting the busy spindles
OF the East and leaving the rich loan of
the gardens Of the West unturned, to
debouch from the defile of slow acoumu-
lation into the broad plain of sudden
wealth. The gold fields of the Guyana
lie in the richest portion, sixty miles
South OF the upper end of the Delta of
the Orinoco, though the territory claim
ed to be rich in the precious ore extends
over four degrees of longitude and three
of latitude. The Congress of Vene-
zuela has enacted laws and regulations
removing all distractions to the full de-
velopment of the region, and already
American and creole companies have
availed themselves of tue new advan-
t"ges and amassed vast fortunes. It is
more accessible to New York than Ari.
zona is, and no reason exists why the
riches OF that quarter of the globe should
not fall into thes same energet hands that
have uncovered the wealth of California.
AS Now Yorker claims q discovery
whereby he made 1,5OO pounds OF dia-
monds in single night, which were to
him S24, 900, 600. there seems no good
reason Why everybody shouldn't be
banded in gold and glitter in solitaires.

WHOLESALE Horse MURDER. The
through freight on the Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad arrived here yesterday
with car containing fifteen horses and
mules consigned to drover in this city.
Upon opening the car, it was found that
several OF the horses were lying down,
but nothing WAS thought of this for an
hour or so when a further investigation
showed that the horses were not only
suffering from various wounds received
on the route from sundry kicks, but that
two were dead and three others with
eyes kicked ont, legs bruised and badly
scared. No blame whatever eau he at
tached to the railroad officials, because
they take stock only at the owners risk.

DAMAGE OF THE ENTERPRISE RAIL
RoAD.-The Enterprise Railroad Compa-
ny having failed to comply with the order
OF Judge Graham, requiring the streets
through which their road passes to be
put in good order, Inspector Lucas COM
menoed yesterday, in East Bay. near Ell
lott street, to tear up the paving which
they had laid. This is done with view
to removing the deep ruts which now ex.
ist along the line OF the sleepers. Only
very small portion Of the work was
completed yesterday, but it appeared to
be Of good character. - Charleston Neus.
CASUALTY. We learn that the BODY of
an old colored man, belonging to the
Swimming Pens neighborhood, who had
been quite sick, and had mysteriously
disappeared for week or more, was
found, on the 17th instant, in Heriot's
mill pond, at the Pens, into which he
probably fell during fit of delirium,
occasioned by his disease Sumter Neus.
GIN HOUSE BURNT. M. Whites
gin house, near Ninety-Six, was burnt
about 9 o'clock Z. NJ, on last Wednes-
day. Seven or eight bales Of cotton
were consumed and everything totally
destroyed. No one was near, and tho
origin Of the fire is unknown.
Fire-supposed to have been commu-
nicated from al engine on the railroad
has destroyed considerable fencing few
miles West OF Sumter. MIR. L J..
Keams, j. T. Cummings, and others, we
regret to learn, are among the sufferers

The evidence is such that the Augusta
Journals deem themselves warranted in
alleging that the independent candidacy
of Gen. DuBose ia in virtue of all agree
nent with Phil. Clayton, the object be-.
ing to defeat Gen. Wright, tho Demo
cratic candidate.
It is now confidently asserted. that
there are from forty to fifty thousand
Liberals in Illinois, and the number is
constantly on the increase; while the
number Of the Bourbons, always small.
is steadily decreasing. Governor Keor-
ner is very confident of his election.
In proof of the faot that the cotton
manufacturing interest Of the South is
rallying from the effects of the war, the
New Orleans Picayune notes that the
consumption last year was 120. 900 bales,
against 81, 600 in 1870, and $4,000 in
1869.
252 bales OF cotton have been shipped
from Abbeville, over the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad, from the 18th to the
22d, inclusive.

THE COMMUNISTS. The pardoning of
the Com mmunist prisoners, in Paris. ma
turally led to the belief that the field OF
Satory would witness no more execu.
tions. In this, however, the people
have been mistaken. The three men
last shot there were too deeply stained
with the crimes of that sanguinary epoch
to be pardoned. Their names wore Lo-
live, Denivelle and Deschamps. Lolive
formed one of the party that massaored
the Archbishop. When the latter raised
his hands to bless his assassins, Lolive
interrupted him with "Hold, there is
my blessing" and raised his rifle and
fired upon him. Denivelle, after tortur-
ing the Count Beaufort for an hour, shot
him with revolver while lying wounded
on the ground, and, lastly, ran him
through with bayonet. Deschamps
also behaved with the utmost cruelty to
young sol'lier taken prisoner, before
the entry OF the troops from Versailles.
These condemned men were, as usual,
tied to stakes. blind-folded, and shot.
The whole proceeding was conducted in
the most stoiid and business like man
ner. They died bravely. which, it is
said, is tho more remarkable, as they did
not expect to DO executed, and were
awakened out OF q sound sleep only two
hours before they were shot.

RUSSIAN THIEVES. French Jour
nal dos De6ats quotes letter, dated
Mini Novgorod, the 10th ultimo, in
which an account is given of q daring
robbery perpetrated by thieves at that
place. The correspondent says: "On
the Sd of September, at 7 o'clock, the
greater theatre. which contains l 900
persons, was full The piece represented
was favorito one, entitled "Crime and
its Punishment" Among those present
were the leading military and civil Of
fcers, the head of the police, and
large number of police officers. While
the first act was being played, and the
attention of the spectators was fixed on
the stage, report was suddenly heard,
q slight smoke filled the upper part of
the theatre, and cry of 'iro' was raised.
Everybody rushed to the doors. but onlv
one was open. Terror became general
when this was discovered. The crowd
was enormous, and persons were thrown
and trampled upon. The thieves, who
had combined to cause this alarm, took
the opportunity Of selling whatever they
could lay their hands upon. They tore
earrings from the women, and stole
watches and studs from the men. This
scene lasted for about ten minutes, until
the people employed in the theatre and
the police made it known that there was
no trace of fire. When tranquility had
been restored, inquiry was made respect
ing the articles stolen, and it was found
that the value exceeded 1000 rubles
Several persons were killed; three men
and woman were taken to the hospital
dangerously wounded, and an actress re-.
ceived serious wound. The thieves
oontrived to escape"

shows the receipts Of Territorial funds for
that period to be 81 ,G03 81, which added
to the amount on hand at beginning Of the
quarter, gives total of s4,94s 81. The
expenditures for the same period, al on

express charges on money, aggregate

class Of creditors a precedence over an.
other, just as much entitled to q speedy

tanned upon examination that these dis.

measurably greater. Archbishop Whately
once said he believed people should 60 to

hope, on the same ground, that newspa-

agreed to report bill appropria,ing $780,
600 for the erection of capitol building.
He declared that the bill would be report
