Food for Marion.

Last Friday, at point in South
Carolina, on the Port Royal road,
about twenty miles from Augusta, Ga,
two negroes made brutal assault upon
Mrs. Alonzo Hurley, Of Aiken county,
In the former State. The outrage
naturally excited the Indignation of
the white population of the neighbor-
hood. Efforts were made at once by
the constable of the district, aided by
posse of white men, to arrest and pun
ish the assailants of Mrs. Hurley. !.
A riot, embracing two hundred
blacks, ensued between the negroes
and whites of the locality, resulting IN
the wounding of one white man and
the death of six negroes. Such is an
outline of the bloody affair. 1t affords
an index to the Southern outrages"
which the partisan press of the North
daily arrays before its readers for the
nurpose of arousing sectional hatred
toward the people of the Southern
States. The fact that negro is in-
voIved, whether as an assailant or not,
is deemed excuse sufficient for a whole
sale Indictment Of the white people of
that portion of the Union, charging
them with prosecuting the loyal
blacks" 1t may be expected. there
fore, that this affair will be tortured
into partisan uses by MortoDs OF the
Republican party. 1t will afford new
inspiration to the bloody shirt" ora
tors everywhere. Regardless of the
cause of the riot, the wounding Of only
one white man, and the actual killing
of six negroes, will be hailed by them
as a political boon on the eve Of the
Indiana election.--LoMisviELe Nelcs.

Killing a Man Before he Hears the
Shot Fired.

There is an American story Of re-
spectacle antiquity which tells how q
fast train outran the sound Of its own
signals and came to utter grief, the
sound Of the warning whistle arriving
after the collision The driver was
killed, aud the story ended with the
words Poor fellow he was dead when
his curses reached him" As curious
and much more certainly true, is the
fact that when man Is struck by
lightning he does not sec the fash
We do not know whether it has been
observed that something similar will
happen to the frst man killed by the
eighty-one-t gun, within a mile Of
the muzzle; he will not hear the shot
fired. The velocity of SQUAD is 1872
feet per second. The muzzIa velocity
Of the bolt Of the eighty -one-ton gun
is about 1,600 feet per second. This,
of course, rapidly diminishes, bat the
average for some distance would be
greater than that of the sound. In
fact, as the shot carries the whistle
along with it, one would hear the
whistle Of the shot before hearing the
gun. Some curious observations might
be made with regard to this latter
point, as to the acoustic effect Of sound
emitted by body travelling faster
than the sound. The only other ex-
ample we have is the lightning fash,
producing the irregular roll Of the
thunder.

Texas, the largestState in the Union,
is agitating the question Of splitting
into two or more sovereignties. The
northern part Of the State would like
to set itself up as independent of the
other sections, while the people west
OF the Colorado believe il to be to their
interests to separate. IL was recently
formally proclaimed in Congressional
Convention that the whole machinery
of the State is welded in the interests
ofthose parts where numerical strength
preponderates, and il is resolved that
concerted action must be taken to se-
cure Justice.

The Abolitionists were coming into
power, need not say by what combi-
nation of imposture and accident they
got it. All the Northern States as well
as the Federal government fell into
their hands. No doubt their dislike
of Southern people was very great but
Northern Democrats were objects OF
their special malignity. Long before
that time, and ever since, this sentl,,
ment has been expressed in words and
acts too plain to be misunderstood.
You show how strong il is ia your own
heart when you tell Southern men (and
you do tell them so in this very speech)
that you honor them ten thousand
times more than Democrats of the
North. Remember, in addition to

The Gazette, of Wednesday morning.
proceeds to charge THE ARGUS with being
opposed to bridge across Rock river at
this point, and then continues with a long
harangue about the advantages of the
present location, etc. After laboring hard
in the interests Of the present oscners and
endeavoring to convince its readers of the
necessity for purchasing the present struc-
ture, and trying in vain to show that the
people all think as it does, it winds up with
few weak efforts to defend its course and
then gracefully swallows the whole thing
at one gulp by stating the following:
1t has leaked out that the committee will report
at their next meeting that locality is better
man the present on account of the bad condition OF
tne piers They claim that the foundations are IN
upon.
1t is to be hoped the committee will re-
| port IN favor of new location, the present
one is not at all desirable If the
committee do SO report and the city con-
cludes to build bridge further up the
river. which is just what should be done,
then will the Gazette indeed he unhappy
The ARGUS insists that the road leading to
the present bridge is unfit for travel and
that the present structure should not be
purchased at any price The whole thing ir
nutshell is this: The bridge as it now
stands is an elephant on the hands of the
present owners, and they desire to rio
themselves of the burden, so the city i.
expected to buy up the worthless structure
and give them the desired relief. The
city should do no such thing, and it is to be
hoped it will not.

Democratic central committee, the use Of

The State Register to-day contains an edi
torial suggesting that two Democratic state
conventions should be held. one on June
20, to select delegates to the national con
vention aud another after the national con
vention for the purpose of nominating 3
state ticket. The theory on which thi:
proposition is based, is that it is necessary
for the national platform to be fixed before
the state convention is held.
