Columbia, S. c., Dec. 90 (specal).-Peter Weber

Of New-York has written the following in German
for publication:
q was one OF a lot Of laborcrS, French and Swiss

agent named Orlando TO work near Jacksonboro
We arrived at the work. and finding that as TO price
and work we had been deceived by this 'Sauberer
padrone we determined to leave, after having worked
two days. Accordingly left the camp In an
orderly manner. When about two miles on the Jack-
sonboro road we were overaRen and attacked by
fifty Italians armed with rifles, revolvers and pick
handles They were under the lead Of an agent of
Orlando. who carried a Winchester rife. We were
driven back by force and several Of severely
wounded. By letters and fugtlves the French Consul
at Charleston Informed. He quickly came 70 our
relief in person. and remained at the scene untl ne
had ransomed us with money and enabled to get
away from the place. which clearly foresaw would
be graveyard. The means and interest OF the
Consul enabled us TO leave the place on Tuesday.
We will all our lives remain thankful to this large
hearted man for what he did for u.s. and sincerely
hope we shall be able TO show our appreciation OF
his kindness in deeds as well in words. Now We
are in this city, and it is impossible for to find

aid TO the whole community, so that we may get
back to New-York. Permit us to express III advance
heartfelt thanks for any assistance that may be
given 10 to enable us TO return TO those WHO. are
near and dear to us.n
There is much Indignation felt at the cruel and in
