To the Citizens of Edgefield County,
Without Distinction of Politics, Color,
or Previous Condition: II.
A Committee was appointed by Mass
Meeting of the citizens of the County on
sale-day last, to Investigate and report
upon the financial condition of the coun,
ty.
It were perfectly useless to either ap.
point Committee, or attempt an inves-
tigation unless it is made searching and
thorough. Therefore We invoke your aid
to make it such; and now call upon all
the good citizens, who have the welfare
of the County at heart, to give US all the
information in their power which may
assist us in that investigation,-and es-
pecially as relates to the following Offices:
Trial Justices.
All fines that have been paid them
since the creation of that Office, the
amount and date of payment, and to
whom paid.
County Commissioners.
Information of all licenses granted by
them since Oct. 1863. to whom granted,
the date, and to whom paid
The manner of letting contracts for
for building or repairing bridges; if al
ways let to the lowest bid of responsible
persons, and if not, the difference OF
those bids, and who the favorable party
or parties are. If money was paid before
the completion of the contract, what pro-
portion, and in what state of progress of
the work.
County Treasurer.
From all persons holding checks either
from the School Commissioner or County
Commissioners, Jury and Witness Tick
cts, &C., who have been undsr the neces-
sity of selling at discount, by the refu-
sal Of the Treasurer to pay the same; to
whom sold, the date Of sale, and rate OF
discount.
All who now hold Checks or county
Scrip, the amount, and date of issue.
The amount OF Poll tax received by
the School Trustees of each Township.
The amount and date of payment of
Trial Justices of all sums paid the Coun-
ty Treasurer, for fines imposed and COL
lected by them.
School Commissioner.
If to the knowledge of any person that
Checks were issued, without the sigma
ture of School Trustees, if so to whom,
what amount, and date.
It is important that all information
should he given at once; and we in an
especial manner call upon the colored
people to come forward and help us in
this work. They are interested as deep
ly as any in this investigation: ;the edu-
cation of your children in Greatmeas-
ure depends upon the faithful disburse-
ment of money collected for educational
purposes.
In conclusion, in the words Of the pub
lished notice of the Secretary of our
Committee last week: "Also request all
citizens of this. county, having any in
formation bearing upon this subject, to
communicate the same' to- the Secretary
of our Committee, "together with the
names of all persons in their neighbor-
hoods, who are now, or who have been.
selling Liquor since October 1858"

The MURDER OF CANBY.-A more
cold-olooded, premeditated act of assassi-
nation than the killing IF General Candy
by the Modoc Chef. was never committed
Throughout the whole North a cry of rage
and horror has gone up. and with one con-
sent the Government is urged to take the
speed,est possible measures foz Nengeance
and retaliation. 1t cannot, however, be
expected that the people of the South,
especially those of Virginia and the Caro-
linas, shall indulge in eulogiums upon
General Candy. Tine was when our pee
pie were kindly disposed toward him
now, however, it would be afectation, II
not hypocrisy, to pretend thst we are
overcome by any feeling Of great personal
SORROW at his death.
It is an exceedingly ungrateful task to
speak Of any one, who has just passed
from time to eternity, save in terms Of
charity and kindness, and we shall there
fore make no comment upon the manner
in which General Candy bore himself when
in dominion over us. But, while we can
not join our Northern brethren in peans
of praise to their dead hero, we can join
them, and do join them, in the strongest
abhorrence of the dastardly act by which
he lost his ifs.-Wilmington Daily Jour
nal.

reference to the Atlantic d;sqster saws:
/" One Of the romantic Incidents ,cf this
terrible calamity has been the discovery
that one of the men, common saiior, and
one whose life was sacrificed in efforts to
save others, was young woman Of about
twenty or twenty-five years Of age. Her
sex was not known until the body was
washed esbore, and the rude clothing re
moved preparatory for burial. She had
served as a common sailor for three vpy-
AGES, and was tayorite sGlpnaate With
al. She is described as hayipg fewer Of
the vices incident to sailors life than is
usual, but she was, nevertheless, us Jolly
an old tar as any Of them. One of the
survivors of the crew, in speaking of her,
remarked: I didn't know Bill was wo-
man. He used to take his liquor as reg
ular as any of Us, and vas always begging
- stealing tobacco. He was 3 good fel-

passage Of bill prohibiting any men,

free pass from railroad company. The
idea is good one, and itsadoption should
not be confined to Illinois. Such a law

A dispatch to the New York Times
from New Orleans, says Later news
from the scene of hostillties, atGrant Par
lsb, show that the massacre of negroes at
Colfax Courthouse was even more horri-
bic and complete than at first reported.
1t appears that not single colored man
was killed until all OF them had surren-
dered to the whites, when one hundred
unfortunate negroes were snot down in
cold blood. After the butchery the whites
scattered in every direction, and many left
for the Texas border. No arrests have
vet been made, Grant Parish being over
two hundred miles from the mouth of the
Red River and but few boats leaving the
city. The State authorities have great
difficulty in procuring transportation to
that region for the militia troops that
have been ordered from this city. A small
number of State militia arrived at the
scene the day after the massacre and they
buried over sixty bodies Of colored men,

SUDDEN DEATH-Our community was
startled, on Monday morning last, by the
information that DR.. w. c. D. Melton had
suddenly died at his home in this town.
DR.. Melton was the eldest brother OF Ma
lor George W. Melton and OF Hon. 5. W..
Melton, Acknowledgement OF South Car.
olina, and was about fifty four years of
age. He had arisen early on Monday
morning and been absent from his resi-
dence for short time on professional bu
siness. On his return home, he was sud
denly stricken down; and died before his
relatives, who were summoned, could reach
his bedside. Disease of the heart is sup
posed to have caused his death.-Chester
