AUGUSTA, April 20.-NeW5 comes
from SylYania that three dead bodies
have been caught at Brier Greek that
were floating down the Savannah river.
The report says that an unknown
white man was found few days ago
lodged against some bushes IN the Sa-
vannah River near the mouth of Brier
Creek. He was discovered by Mr.. Pey.
ton Vlckery, who notified the coroner.
The latter went down yesterday and
held an inquest. after which the body
was buried in the swamp. The BODY
had been in the water over week.
There was nothing on him by which be
could be identified. He was Well
dressed, but no papers of any kind or
anything else was found in his pockets.
The body had evidently noated down
the river, but from how far up is not
known. About two weeks ago Mr.
VIckery also found the dead body of 2
negro LOGGED against snag near the
mouth of the creek in the river AMI an
other body, whether white or black, he
could Dot tell, several weeks prior to
that lime. There seems to be some,
thing wrong somewhere along the 7lY-

BUENos AYREs, April 1.-THE re-
mains Of the Brazilian rebel fleet, com
manded by Admiral DeMello, which ar
rived off this port last night, are the sub
ject of exchanges of telegraphlc MESA
ges between the authorities OF this place
and the Brazilian government, through
the Brazilian minister here. The rebel
ships are the Republic, Meteor Iris,
Urauo and Esperanto. They are IN
very dilapidated condition and rebels on
board of them are suffering from SICK
ness, wounds and lack Of proper food
supplies. Their temporary wants have
been supplied, with-the consent Of the
Brazilian minister, who has received ad-
vices from Rio Do Janeiro, saying that
general amnesty would be granted to the
insurgent rank, and file, and that the
Brazilian government will pay the quar-
antine expenses Of the ships if they are
surrendered to the Brazilian minister.
Consequently the Argentine govern
ment, with the consent Of the rebel lea
ders, is now experimenting the delivery
of the FIVE war vessels to the minister
and this will have been accomplished oy
the time this dispatch reaches the United
States. The crews ofthe rebel ships are
being disem barked at the Lazaretto here
and will be cared for until further orders
are received nom Rio De Janeiro. It is
believed that when the men aud ships
are IN q proper condition, they will re.
Join the Brazilian vessels under the
government officers and return to RIO De
Janeiro.
President Piexoto government has 20.
tifed the government Of Uruguay that
the expenses and the passage money

He Dsfints their Object.
To the Editor of the State:
! The following letter was addressed tC
me recently by the Hon. Chauncey F
Black, the president of the "Nationa
Association of Democratic Clubs" and
as it is so forcible plea for the organ
ization of these clubs throughout the
country, l deem its publication impor-
tant. AS vice president of the lesgue
for South Carolina, il u a1y duLy to re-
spond to the call of the president, an6
as my views on the subject he has sc
ably presented are in full accord with
mis-, that duty becomes in this case
pleasure.
In my judgment if there ever was {
time when the great Dem mocratic party
depended for its permanence, its very
existedce, on the unity of its members
it is now. when false creeds and false
prophets threaten to destroy it. This
I regard as eminently the case in South
Carolina, where many Of our truest
men have been led astray by the pro
mitigation Of political heresies, claimed
by their advocates to be true "Jefer-
sonian Democratic principles"
The vast majority of the whites IN
South Carolina are at heart staunch
and loyal Democrats, and they would
not knowingly imperil their party, so
when warned as they are in such
strong and truthful language by one of
the ablest leaders of the Democracy, as
Governor Black has always beeu. of the
dangers threatening the party. l have
faith that they will rally to the sup.
port of the only party which promises
peace, prosperity and protection to the
South.
My function as vice president of tue
National League is to present to the
people of South Carolina, the views and
wishes of the President. Ifthey are in
accord with him as to the dangers
ahead of US. aud the vital Importance
of prompt action in order to avoid
them, shall gladly give all aid IN my
power to the formation of Democratic
clubs.
I therefore urge all Democrats who
stand on the national platform to or
gauize promptly these clubs, to which
every true Democrat will be eligible as
q member.
