ever in these diggins, and it calls forth
attention and remark. The tent with
its flying horses. seen in your city

tleman has greatly improved this part
of the country by buildings, farming,
saw mills, employment of labor an0
enterprise in general. | am sorry to
see the blight upon his pear trees has
been very great by worms called slugs
that eat up every green thing of the
leaves except the tibres, and leave them
a wretched looking sight. The peach
crop here is almost an entire failure,
and the whole surrounding country
The Rev. Mr., Warmers adjoining, had
a prospect for a midling crop of Hale's
EARLY. but the tenant got two baskets
and thought this would conclude the
song. see Mr.. Burnite's black berries
are more promising. The wild crop
on the roads and fields is encouraging,
a good thing for the birds, the poor Of
the country and the people Of the ci4
ties.
Mr.. Burnside's wheat crop was fine,
and the corn and oats here, as else,

make up the staff of life, and the abun-

The Bloodys Shirt I'm south Carolina

The worst governed, the worst plum
dered State in the Union since the close
Of the war has been South Carolina, be-
cause those who governed and those who
plundered her were scallawag carpet
baggers, men who left the North for the
good of the North. They called them
selves Republicans, and as it was deemed
necessary by the General Government to
have a strong and loyal State Govern
ment there, the carpet-baggers were kept
in place by the countenance of the ad-
ministration. That South Carolina should
still suffer for inagurating the Rebellion
smacks of poetic justice; she sowed the
Wind, and she has reaped the whirl-
wind, but 1t is questionable if, consid-
ering her position as an integral part
of the Union, she has not reaped suf-
ficiently large crop of the whirlwind,
and if it is not about time that she
should be permitted to get rid of the
hordes Of political adventurous from the
North that for morethan ten years have
preyed upon her like Huns Telegraph.

4 SEDUCER KILLED.
A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

J. T. Dickerson, depot agent at
Whyteville, Va, was shot and killed by
Charles Nj. Williams for the seduction
of the latter's daughter. Williams was
arrested and held for trial. The COM
munity justifes him.
The facts are said to be these; Will
liams tecame apprised that his only
daughter, about twenty years of age,
was enceinte, and upon inquiry as to who
was the author OF her ruin, he was in
formed that it was Dickerson. He i'm
mediately, as it is said, called upon Dick
erscn, charged him with the seduction
and informed him il he did not marry
his daughter he would kill him. Dicker-
son failing to give him satisfaction at the
time, he tWilliams) said he would give
him until eight o'clock next morning to
| make up his mind. Next morning he is
said to have again called on Dickerson
| and demanded to know whether he in
tended to marry his daughter, and agaiL
left without getting satisfaction. In a
short time he reappeared at the depot
with shotgun in his hands, while
| Dickerson was engaged with his assist
| ant in copying the 10th Psalm, (for
what purpose is not known.) He took
deliberate aim and lodged eight or nine
buckshot in tho left side of his face, COM
pletely mashing both his upper and low
| er jaws, atoms of the shot coming out
on the neck on the upper side. Dick
| erson, who seemed to have been unware
of the presence of Williams, uttered he
exclamation, My God !''-the last and
only words he ever spoke after being
shot. In four minutes after, he expired
in sitting posture on the sofa where he
was at the time.
The two men previously had been on
very intimate terms. Williams was
heard to say after committing the homi-
eide that he had killed man whom he
had regarded as the best friend he had
on earth. Williams Immediately sur
rendered himself to the proper authorl-
ties, had an examination, and was sent
on to the Circuit Court, giving bail
promptly in the sum OF $500.
| Al Coroner's inquest was held and the
jury rendered a verdict in accordance
with the above facts.
Dickerson had been depot agent for
several years, and was regarded by the
company as good officer.

Uhat Nan Can do tor therify.

Lewis Phillips died about two years
ago, worth 100000. He left a wife,
but no children. By his will, after
some small legacies, he gave all his
property to his wife for life in lieu of
dover, and upon her death directed it
TO be divided between the Hebrew
Benevolent Orphan Asylum Society,
the Hebrew Free School. the Mount
Sinai Hospital. and the Hebrew Free
Burial Society. The widow having
died, Mr.. Phillips's nephews conten-
ded that the will was invalid, as being
| la contravention of the statutory pro-
vision that no person leaving husband
wife, parent or child shall devise more
than one half his property to charities.
The executors brought suit in the Su.
preme Court for a construction of the
will, co1tending that the object of the
statute was to require a man to pro-
vide for his family, and that as there
were no children the testator had COM
piled with that object by giving his
wife life estate in all his property.
Judge Donohoe, taking this view, has
signed decree directing division of
the property according to the will.
