steamer Avalon, Capt. John Thomas, brought to the
city yesterday morning Mr.. j. A. Wiley, passenger
from Northumberland county, Va, who was
juror In an inquest held over the body of young

eighteen years OF age, and was from Wilmington
Del. He and the coiored man were employed as

sunday, and Captain Wood went ashore to visit
his family. He left on board the young man, the
coiored man, and two other hands-a white man
and colored man. sunday is an on day with the
oystermen, and day for carousing, and the trag-
edy resulted from an indecent proposal made by
the colored man TO young Nash. Nash made some
kind OF reply, and the cOlored man drew an Eng
sh bulldog pistol and shot Nash through the right
temple, killing him instantly. One OF the other
hands, as soon as he learned OF the affair." jumped

special from Charleston, s. c., says: On Mon

negroes leaving Rock Hill on the afternoon train.
They bought tickets to Fort Mill, when they met
about 300 more negroes who were there awaiting
the arrival Of special train that they said had
been chartered to take them to New York. whence
they were to sail for Liberia. The train has not
yet arrived and the railroad officials say that no
arrangements have been made for any train. The
negroes are waiting at Fort Mill, where they are
exposed to the cold without SUFFICIENT clothing.
They are confident that their train will come. 1t
seems that some one has been melting the cOlored
people TO leave their homes, sell their property and
go TO Liberia, as an inducement giving them q red
badge or ticket for consideration which would
convey them to New York. The party who sold
the tickets has never turned up The condition of
