Asncar as we can get Mt the facts, it
seems ]. e. Williams app!iesl to trial jus
tice B1acey fer writ of eicctment
nsalnst Fob Frasier. When the writ
was served by Able Mitchell aud six otht e
constablcs, Frasicr refused TO leave, and
then variant was issued for his arrest
on the charge of riot and resisting an

only proper ty he had, was taken by Bra

justice Muligan and had warrants issued
Tor the arrest of Bracy's constables and
also sued for the recovery of his crops.
The suit was decided in his favor and,
j. d. johnson, Mulligan's constable, was
ordered to arrest Mitchell, Bracy's consta-
BILE, but when Johnsonapproached Mitch
ell tits said terrible riot began. Knives,
pistols, hoes and every other murdcrous
weapon was brandished over the heads of
everybody, and in their rage the murder.
Gus crew killed and cut to pieces every
body that came within their reach: but
as every one started OH in a different

must have been killed and eaten rs no
trace of their victims can he found.
This was thought to he the end of the
ahalr but frasier was not yet satisfied
and so came to Beaufort and swore out
warrants against the persons engaged in
the riot. Deputy sheriff Sans went up
and brought down twenty one ofthe pcr
sons and about SIXTY more may be expcc-
ed. We do not blame Mr.. Carleton. but
1t Is an outrage that the laws permit n
single case like this to be 50 extended as
to cost the tax payers several hundred
dollars, besides taking from their work
so large number ofmen. AS for their
being riotous, if we are never attacked by
more than twenty such men rs have been

that each case is to be tried separately
% that week will elapse before the
rioters arc all acquitted.

TIE MURDER AT MuLETT-A CORES
pondcnt ct the Barnwcll Sentinel gives
the following particulars of the recent
murder ut Millctt station. "rbe dead
body of Michael Iicnnessy was discov-
cred behind the counter, in his store,
about twelve O'Clock. 1t was cold, and
the blood from wounds on the head was
ciottcd. He was seen standing in his
store door early in the morning, between
six and seven, and thus tic murder was
done i'll the day, not n hundred feet from
another store, in public place, and no
clue to the deed known or any indiyld-
ual suspected. One OF Henncssy's farm
hands went in at noon, and finding the
front door of the store shut and locked on
the inside, tried the back door, which was
also closed; observing back window
open, got inside through that. Saw
deceased lying behind the cu1nter with
his head in puddle Of blood, and i'm
mcdiately gave notice to Others, who
went in and found that the old man had
been murdered. On the counter were
left one dozen crackers, a spool Of thread,
n flask of whisky and ten cent pcice OF
tobacco, seeming to be the purchase,
real or pretended, of this last custom
er, who locked the front Goor and re.
tired, by the back way.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
About Jonesville.

Mr.. EDITOR Some of us regularly read
your paper, and suppose that we will have to
encroach ON your columns line or two for this
privilege.
There is no news of much importance in and
about the surroundings. The latest agony is
that the Depot at Jonesvile is to be moved about
three quarters of mile West above the resi-
dence of Daniel Gallman. The Depot has been
standing where it now is about II years, during
which time lots have been bought and improved
Four good public roads well located, centre on
this point, and all the surroundings designate
the present locality the one most suitable for
q Depot.
We know that the celebrated surveyor banks
high on the grade Mt this point, but we have
never seen any great inconvenience in the stop
pages and starts of the trains, and If they cam
pass by on the main track side track can be
put in which would answer every purpose. The
Depot was once located ut the place where 10
is now proposed moving il to; but the incon-
yenience of the location caused the patrons to
clamor and petition was got up, and 1t was
moyed back to its-present localitvsA -
We are Informed that the parties proposing
the move offer 3 acres of land and propose to
buid an addition to tie old depot when moved.
We, the citizens of Jonesville, offer equally as
much TO let it stay where il best suits the whole
country and if the Depot is too small for the
trade carried on at this place we are ready, if
required, to enlarge it: and if side track is
needed we are ready to ''break dirt and have
one put IN at once.
We want it understood that we are not op-
posed to progress, but that in the election for
the Sl50,0UO subscription to the Western ex-
tension of this road only one or two dissenting
votes appcnred; and one man who owns property
here rode in the cold to distribute the ballot
boxes, and no doubt through his influence, with
that OF many others, the project was carried, be-
sides he privately subscribed S500OO himself,
and got two others to subscribe like amounts
In view of all this we would be compelled to
think ourselves aggrieved if the old Depot is
picked up and carried off to new location to
suit the few to the discontinue of the many;
and we are persuaded better things of our ac-
tive, energetic and gentlemanly Superintendent
than this; and if he needs assistance to enlarge
his Depot or put IN n side track we are on hand

New Cotton Scales.

Our worthy Town Council are doing good SER
vice for the town. Having heard complaints
among the farmers against the old grass hop
per machine formerly used in this market for
weighing Cotton, they have very properly pur-
chased pair Of Fairbanks Platform Standard
scales for that purpose, so that there can be no
good cause for dispute or complaint hereafter
about the weight or weigher of Cotton
30 bring on your Cotton, gentlemen. Our Cot
ton Buyers pay full prices, are anxious to buy,
and will sell you goods but little above bankrupt
aud failing prices. They propose to deal hon
estly, all round They do not propose to pull
wool over your eyes while they sell you articles
mt nigh prices and then remove it so that Won
may see how awful cheap (?) they sell others.
We have known men to go to other markets and
save 90 cents on two sacks of salt while thew
paid from SO to SIS more for q bill of other arti-
cles than they could have bought them in this
town. That's what we call .'comical economy.n
MIR. Fant. the weigher, Is an honest man and
wishes to satisfy all parties He. therefore
proposes to any one dissatisfied with his weigh
ing that they shall call in responsible friend to
examine the scales, and have the Cotton weighed
again, for which second weighing nocizarge will
be made Nothing faireE, eaald be asked from
any man. With true So ii hon y rsieh
ing no harm can pussib8y - l5he % either the
buyer or seller of Cotton. s - r.
We should like to see the following test made;
When bale Of Cotton does not hold out upon
our scales with the weight at the gin, let the
same bale be taken back, the steeyards at the
gin properly adjusted, and then weigh the Cot
ton again If there is difference then, there
must be something wrong somewhere and should
be found out; but we mus, not condemn one
weigher without being sure that the other is
right. We have seen bale of Cotton gain ten
pounds, even on the old "grasshopper' used by
Mr. FAINT, and errors are as likely to occur on
one side as the other.

A Cheap Fertilizer Offered.

"A few days ago VIC accidentally met on our

ing the lime quarries at Limestone Springs, and
III course of conversation he mentioned that he
had discovered in that region some large demos
its of valuable materials for forming n Fcrtili-
zer equally as good as any now manufactured
and sold Mt exorbitant prices. With these ma
terials he now proposes that the Farmers them
selves shall form q Joint Stock Company for the
manufacture of their own Fertilizer. He thinks
and if he has the ingredients he says he has,
which we have no reason to doubt-he can pro-

either in quality or quantity to suit the wants
OF the people. That idea can easily be exploded
by calling on our friends Humphries & Hill and
asking for Flour made at Tench & Dawkius
Mill. You will find II there in any QUANTITY
and we assure oil that it is equal to any Flour
wo ever used. We have tested it in all way..
from loaf Of light bread TO a batter cake, and
we pronounce it capital. This is not Intended
as n mere puff, but to call the attention of our
people to the fact that we can raise as good
wheat and make as good Flour as any one else,
Maj Tench informs us that he raised 500
bushels of wheat last year, from which he made
100 bbls. Of Flour, with shorts bran, SC. The
Flour is worth 81 1000, and we venture to say
that II cost less to produce that one thousand dol
lars worth of Flour than it has any man in
Union to raise $500 worth of Cotton, As n
proof that there is more money in wheat than
Cotton. Maj. Tench informs us that he intends TO
SOW for 600 bushels next year. This is re-
'orm in the right direction, sure. Keep in that
rack, Major, and you are sure to win.
