catching hold OF the chair, whereupon
Robinson thrust through under the chair,
aud stabbed Preston in the heart.

A BRUTAL OUTRAaE.-.Washin gton
Logan, printer, and peaceful, inof-
fensive man, while passing through the
upper portion of this County, few days
since, was set upon by mob of infuri.
ated negroes, beaten almost to death.
and then dragged off to Kershaw Jail,
and lodged there under the charge of
being the murderer Of q negro killed re.
gently somewhere above Camden. It
seems that day or two previously, some
worthless tramp, in passing through the
same neighborhood, had slapped negro
woman's face, and that her friends, who
were on the lookout for the offender, met
Logan, and mistaking him, or pretend
ing to mistake him, for the person who
had committed the assault. seized and
beat him most numerically. Ills life
was saved by the interference of negro.
more pradent than the rest Of his com.
panions. After beating him, they then
accused him Of being the murderer of
the negro killed above Camden, and
carried him to Jail there, in tho hope of
securing the reward :hat had been offered
for said murderer.
We learn that there is great indigna.
ton felt in the community where this
outrage was perpetrated, and that steps
are being taken to bring the guilty par
ties to Justice. It is certainly high time
for such lawless conduct to be sup.
pressed.-Sumler Ne,os.

It had been thrown into a rivulet.
There were three bullet holes in his
body Into the thicket, through the
swamp grass and underbrush. was a
trail, as though made by dragging the
body. Twenty yards distant was an
open space which had evidently been
the scene of 81 terrible hand-to- hand
struggle. The grass and ferns were
trodden to the earth, and twigs
and bushes were broken and torn up
by the roots. Here Kohlmer's hat and
piece of the assassin's shirt were
found. Kohlmer came to this country
from Germ ny about eight years ago
He and his brother, who is also in
America, are the sole heirs of an i'm
mense fortune now held by their moth

wandered to afriend's house nearMont

accustomed to wander off into the
woods, and during one of these ram

him, is heir to the property III Ger
