IT was recently reported from Wash
ingtou that the Treasury Department had
purchased two months supply of silver
bullion at the low rates which prevailed a

having been about three cents per ounce
less than the present market rate. This
stock, together with the bullion fund, will,
it is believed, be sufficient for the coinage
until the annual statements of the mints
which will be made in June.

CHARLESTON, s. c., OF, l6-The
joint canvass OF Charleston county, by
Democrats aud Republicans, which has
been in progress for some days, resulted in
a serious collision at Cainsboy, about niue
miles frcm mere, 1t had been agreed that
both whites and blacks should attend the
meeting without arms. During the speak
ing AN alteration arose between two in
dividuals OF opposite parties. A shot was
fired by one of them. The negroes be-
longing to the state militia and composing
large majority of the meeting, secured
their muskets, which we're secreted near
by, and volley was fired into the unarm-
ed whites from The bushes. skirting a
neighboring ravine. The whites, being few
iE number and altogether! unprepared to
fight, retreated to the steamer which bad
brought them from the city, but not before
two OF their number had been killed and
fourteen wounded. The dead were left in
possession of the negroes. About 80
armed whites left the city this evening for
| Calusboy to recover the bodies and to
afford protection to the whites of that
vicinity, who are in dread of being
attacked or burned out.
