were summoned from this town and VI
ciuity to appear before the late Grand
Jury to give information against certain
persons in this town upon suspicion OF
their having violated the Liquor Law,
but by reference to the proceedings OF
the Court it will be observed that no
indictments were found, and very justly
so. The entire party were summoned
upon information given in an a"ony-

If whole community can be put to
great Inconvenience and loss OF time,

about 400 negroes under the leadership

A party was organized and was on the
eve OF starting from here, when another
courier arrived bringing information
that Tenant had been arrested by the
civil authorities and that the negroes
had dispersed, and that all was quiet.
Tenant was member Of the convention
which nominated Chamberlain. There
is All uneasy feeling that there will be
trouble in Carolina between the whites
and blacks. In that event there is no
question about the white people of
Georgia on the line of the Savannah
river, going to the assistance of their
neighbors in Carolina.

ES We have cheering news from all
narts of the District, in reference to the
congressional canvass. MIR. Boteiers
friends in the Western Counties, say
that they are confident his majority in
the Trans-Alleghany portion OF the
District will not be less than two theus-
and-that he will also carry the Coun-
ties of Grant, Mineral, Hampshire and
Hardy, and that he has besides, an equal
chance with Mr.. Faulkner, for three or
tour other Counties. SO that there can
be but little, if any, doubt of MIR. Bote-
ler's election; the only question now
being as to how much his majority will
be in the whole District, the estimates OF
which vary from one thousand to three
thousand-Gov. Jacob having carried
the District by 5000.
