IHE AFFAIR AT SrARTANBrEG.-The muni-
cipal and county authorities of Spartanburg
divided the honors Of brave and gallant
acton yesterday. They appear to have de-
morstrated their courage and firmucss with
on: rashness the result being that only good
cane from n dangerous situation which
weakness or folly would have dcvclopcd into
horrible tragedy. The mayor and the
sheriff and their assistants deserve the thanks
OF Spart"nburg city and county and of the
State
We think there are two lessons To be learn
ell from the affair. The first is that if some
OF Turner'S friends and ncghbors had not
rallied so warmly to his support when he
Killed the old Germanla year or two ago Tur-
n,' would have been deprived of the oppor-
tunity of taking another life and enough con
h'tence in the courts would have cxistc 4
among people generally to prevent the at
tempt at lynching the second is that the
-PUbfic peace will be safe so long as care is
taken that the Offices are filled by men who
have the intelligence to understand their
duties and the courage to execute them
promptly and humancly GrccnriNs Nc,rs.

CorToN FIRE AT PELzER.-Gr eenville,
March PA heavy cotton fire oc Cured at
Pelzer, sixteen miles below this city, to-day.
At o clock this afternoon fire was discovered
in ono of the three large cotton storage ware
houses Of the Pelzer Manufacturing Com
pany. In the building nearly 5000 bales of
cotton were stored; but the fire was not al
lowed to spread beyond one of three COM
partments into which the warehouse is di-
vided. This contained between 300 and
1900 bales, and all but about 500 of these
were burned. The loss is estimated at be-
tween $780, 900 and $4,000, fully covered by
insurance, rs follows: Union Mutual,
100000; Liverpool, London and Globe,
$4,000; Niagara, 81 600; Home, Of Geor-
gia, $500 total, $lOS,OO0.
1t is not known how the fire started, but
it is believed to have been purely accidental.

winter, but on the contrary the winter
has been unusually open and favorable to
early blooming and forward vegetation. In
our opinion the trees have been killed by the
borcr, which either lies dormant or is killed
by severe winter freezes, but in the past mild
winter it ha, kept alive and actively at work
upon tho trces, just below the surface of the
ground, completely "girdling' and, of fcoursc,
killing them.
We fear it will be found that the mild
witcr has not only kept the insect enemies of
the fruit trees alive, but unless the farmers
can devise some precaution or preventive,
they will find large army Of parasites alive
and attacking the crops in their tender
growth.

storm on the coast of England this week, that

Standing by the hole on the inside of the

them to poke out their heads. She gave the
alarm, and soon her father was on the scene
and the prisoners oil locked up in their cells.

couragiDg prospects for any portion Of the
lower Mississippi Valley. The stage of the
water at New Orleans is now three-tenths of
foot above the highest ever known, and
last night touched siI-tenths above.
The river has fallen slightly at Cairo but
sharp rises at st. Louis, and particularly at
Cincinnati, Louisville and Nashville, make
at evident that the recession at Cairo is only
temporary, and that thence southward the
river must continue at its present high stage
for at least n week.
Although the stagc Of water at Cairo and
Helena is about four feet below extreme
floods in the past, yet the prospects are very
decided at even these places that the great
est flood ever known will obtain during the
next seven days.
At Vicksburg the river is one foot two in

very high stage Of water in lower Arkansas
renders it certain there will he no relief at
Vicksburg unless, indeed, the whole country
should be flooded.
