COLUMBIA, Aug. 25.-Great excitement
prevails throughout the city in consequence
of report being in circulation to the effect
that some negroes are attempting to raise q
riot. Mr.. Ed. Wilson, son of Hon. w. r.
Wilson, young man who lives on the out
skirts of the town, was drawn from his
house about ten O'Clock tonight by noise
proceeding from his corn field, which
sounded like some one gathering corn.
Thinking some thief had cotton among his
corn, he armed himself with a revolver and
sailed forth. he had not proceeded many
steps before he was confronted by several
negroes in disguise, who Immediately began
TO fire upon him. He returned the fire, and
succeeded in driving his assailants of; not,
however, until he had received two pistol
wounds of a serious nature, besides having
his coat and vest cut open in several places
by some sharp-pointed instrument, which
he thinks.w was khife.
Afr. Wilson is ssaiikifd that he m0Ttally
wounded, if he did not kill two of the ne
groes. lie saw only three Of his asSailants
but thinks there were more concealed IN the
corn. He says he is Of the opinion that
the negroes intended a more general attack
upon the whites, and being disappointed
in the rising Of sufficient numbers, de
termined to vent their spite on him, and
for this purpose made the noise which
brought him from the house.
Mr.. Wilson's wounds are not considered
necessarily dangerous. At this writing,
11:30, every man and boy who is able to
shoulder a gun is ont looking for the
would-be murderers. and mounted men are
coming in from the country every minute.
Fears are entertained by some that the
affair will assume a more serious face be
fore morning. The policemen, however,
are on the alert, and ever thing possible
will be done to restore order and quiet.
Should any of the suspected negroes be
caught, Judging from the present state of
affairs, they viii meet with speedy
Justice.
The excitement is so great it is ilnpossi-
bic to learn anything more definite at pre-

ALGERNON AND NELLIE.
How That BIarsted EngIishman Got
the Presidents Daughter,

A correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune,
writing from Green Bay, Wis, tells tie
following story of Algernon Sartoris and
Nellie Grant:
There is an Englishman here who is the
friend and agent of SartOris senior. Though
this friend, Mr.. SartOris, father of the sub
ject of our present sketch, bought some wild
lands in Green Bay and in Sheboygan, Wis,
simply as a fair investment for surplus
funds. Finding his second son, Algernon,
likely to SOW too many wild cats, he sent
him 10 America and Green Bay to look after
wild lands, hoping the change Of Occupa-
tiOn would prove beneficial. Coming ont
the first time, he met Nellie on the
Scotia, and the young lady fell desperately
in love with the indolent, Indifferent Eng
liShman, VINO scarcely cared at first
to profit by the kindness Of the gods.
When he reached Green Bay, her frequent
letters aroused sentiment unlike any
Charles Francis AlgeTnOn had ever before
experienced. Here was the innocent, con-
fidfng heart Of a young girl laid open be-
fore him, with all its tender sentiment, its
untried music. He was a man of fine
literary culture, well versed in classic lore,
speaking six different languages, edu-
Gated at the University of Heidelberg, and
constantly, meeting, in English society,
elegant and accomplished young ladies.
The little girl of Galena won him. At
first he threw her letters about his room in
differently, and took but little interest in
them. But time hung heavily on his hands:
he had plenty of money, and no work;
even hunting and fishing lose their zest
when INDUCED in daily; and so he went
to Chicago, met the President and
his daughter on their western
tour, proposed to Papa Grant, and was pO-
litely snubbed. Sartoris grew desperate,
went back to England, kept up furious
correspondence with Nellie, and the fol-
lowing summer returned to Green Bay.
Here the telegram came which announced
the death Of his eldest brother. SartOris
had Just gone to Washington to plead his
unsuccessful case with the President
Mrs. Grant and Nellie being both on
his side. He was walking with the
young lady in the garden of the
White House when the telegram was
placed in his hands announcing his
brothers death by fall from his horse, and
his own changed fortunes in consequence
he being now prospective heir to an i'm
menSe estate. The Young people were at
once engaged. Charles Francis AlgernOn
went to New York and bought a superb
diamond ring, a solitaire, with which to
bind the engagement. The rest is A thrice
told tale.

Our friend Col. Tom Claiborne-and
we are proud to call him friend-dOes
not appear to advantage in the role
of martyr. His complaint that the
UNION AND AMERICAN has taken a
hand against him in the Congressional
race is altogether at variance with the
policy to which this paper has ever
faithfully adhered. Whatever our per-
sonal preferences, We advocate the
claims of no man who has not been
designated in the usual way as the can
didate of the party. Should Col.
Claiborne receive the nomination at
Clarksville, he may count upon our
hearty support, but we do not care TO
be held responsible for the hard knocks
he may happen TO receive from his
competitor in the hot encounters of the
canvass.

umn of information regarding the corn and
hog crop in several Western States, which
shows Iowa has an excellent coFD crop, but
only 70 per cent. as many hogs as last year,
and greatly reduced in weight. The Illi-
nois corn crop will be about one-third less
than last year, and the hogs One-half less
and much lighter. Missouri will have a
poor corn crop and large falling off in
hogs. In Kansas and Nebraska there will
be a great reduction of both corn and hogs.

THE Secretary of the Immigration
Board at New York, estimates falling
off of about fifty per cent. this year
from last. Immigrants have been so
large a factor IN the growth and pro-
gress of this country, that the reason
for this decrease becomes an interest
ing problem. a partial explanation
may be found in last years panic.
Perhaps half the foreign-bOrn
that reach our shores in ordinary years,
do 30 On passage money advanced
by friends who have preceded them.
Last fall and winter thousands Of in
dustrious naturalized citizens were
thrown out Of employment for months.
They found it difficult enough to sup
port themselves and families, without
saving anything to help friends
and relatives across the bripy
deep. Aside from this explana-
ton for the sudden decrease this
year, II must be confessed that the con-
ditiOn Of the poorest classes in Great
Britain and ireland is ameliorating
every year, while in this country it
daily becomes worse. If this double
process continues at the present rate
for the coming decade, America viii
possess no attractions for the foreign
er, and all immigration Will cease.
