The Whittle Robbers Captured. Six or seven negroes, thrae of thoi women, believed to be the perpetratoi of the Whittle robbery, or more or le.1 connected with it, were caught last weel brought to our town and lodged in jai Our readers will remember the late lug' wjy robbery of Mr. Seaborn Whittle i the Chester country nine miles belo us. These negroes were to have a pr limiuary hearing beforo Trial .Tuslii Glover on Monday last, and Capt. B I Tillman and other citizens of the Che ter neighborhood were on hand for tl occasion ; but owing to the fact that 01 of the ringleaders is still at largo, ai that certain important witnesses cou not be had, the bearing was postpone until next Monday. Neighborly Luve and Duty. lt will bc remembered how fearfully a: totally Dr. John Mobley was burned c ioiue three or four months back. Wi already he is in a pretty and comfoi'.al new boase, and surrounded with many his old time comforts. It seems that t Kev. JameT Carson and the Rev. N. Burton were in the immediate neighb hood on the night of the fire. In I murnini:, they appointed and annouw a building committee to replace the i alloyed mansion. This committee, J. Watson, Henry Watson, Thomas Whit! Clinton Ward and James Pou, with J. Watson as Chairman, cheerfully obe; the christian call of the two reverend g tlemen and look into their hands building of the new house. And honored friend and his family are alrct in it. We do not nieau that this comn tee gave Dr. Mobley thc house, but, sides rendering material help, they at o rdieved him of loads of outside HI i trouble.. This is beautiful, and keeps one's faith in the bright side of human It is well to be beloved of one's nei bors ; and it is well to have neighbor generous souls and sining arms. II -i nan?-.i mi- II ni tum m mn i.w fha Murder of Henry Stiefer. As this ghastly murder occur? week Li a? k, most of our readers are r , ty well acquainted with the facts by i truie." Nevertheless wo narrate tho i , tar in full. Henry G. ?tiefer if we i i take not, is a native of the Shatterl ' S3Ctiouof our county. Tie has, or c I had, a wife. He was a good soldiei . t'.\e 7th Reg't., a member of Capt. J. Brooks'? company. Ho lo3t an ara 1 the service. For some years pa3t he peddled cheap dry goods, tobacco, < 1 dec, through somo of our upper To B'aips, notably Dean. These goods litely carried in a wagon drawn by good mules. He was in the habit camping where night fouud him. '. some wooks past he had had in his < ploy-driving his wagon-a young ne fjltow aged about twenty-one ye named Wilson Stephens. Tho hom* headquarters of this fellow waa on plantation of Honry T. Wright, E? f jur miles East of our town. His w child and mother still live there. Wednesday night,, the 14th insta SLio/'er and the negro camped at H long's Lumber MillinMobloy Townsl a milo or s.. from the residence of Jam D. Watson, Esq On Thursday mornir S iefer was fraud dead, with his ski s ove in. Stephens tho negro man v missing. He had pulled off tho de m m's shoo*, aud left his own. T wagon and mules were un molest! T ial Justice Waters, of Johnston, bai sjinmoned, held an inquest Mr. J. Watson was foreman of the jury. Stiel wis a first cousin of Mr. J. H. Lowr o." Elmwood, and *o his residence t djad body, tho wagon, mules and goo were taken. Tho body was docently i tarred at Sloepy Creek Church. Stephe was arrested at Mr. H. T. Wright's ? Friday by Messrs. L. A. Rodgers ai John Buzzard, and by them brought ai lodged in our jail. He has confessed tl d?ed, and says that often before he h; risen at nignt to do it, but his heart fal el him. He smoto the sleeping man c tho head with one of the wagon standard Mmey *as his object, but, according his own statement, a fctatement he pe sistently adheres to, he got only 87 cen -in an old pocket book. His mother < wife subsequently produced tho pock book and 87 cents, and declared it wi all he gave into their possession. Tl body was examined for money bcfoi burial, but not a penny was found. '. now seems, from the reports of persoi who knew Stiefer's habits, that he ca ried his money in a p cket on the inm side of his drawers, and that he ofte niedlessly and ostentatiously oxhibite his money. There is a strong probabil ty, therefore, that he has been burie with his money on his person. We bet that he has a brother, a rich mail, io At beville County, and two sisters in Edg< field Bom3where. He was about lift years of age. Wilson Stephens is iu ou jail, and is, we believe, begiuning to tr the exhausted dodge of insanity. I our opinion Messrs. Rodgers and Bus zml deserve a reward for their pronif and persistent pursuit of this ruthles murderer. And indeed thero ought t be a law on our statute book reward ic tho men who overtake such evil doers It would restrain much crime.

' Shooting at Ridge Spring. 1 Two negroes, Butler Simmons an 1 Sump Keruaghan, indulged In a lilt] * pistol practice at Ridge Spring on Satu: day night, the 10th. Simmons fired thrt shots, and Keruaghan attempted to fir but his weapon refused to respond. Or * of Simmons' shots took effect in Ko: r nathan's arm, indicting quite a sovoi t wound. Simmons made his escape bi 0 Kernaghan was arrested. Five negroe r all implicated, we believe, in this shoo B ing scrape, were lodged in our jr", c e Tuesday tho 13th. ' The Ettgeiield Ladies at the Ball.

Mrs. Pickens wore a bla( i, Ottoman silk with a train ol immen 1 length, and an elaborate fit hu and sleev i- o' white poiut lace. Far back upon h n head sat a large Gainsborough hat w black velvet trimmed with white poi o- lace and a dozen or moro splendid blai co plumes that waved and nodded in ove [f. direction. As she headed the processii s- to supper, on tho arm of Govern ie Thompson, ?ho presented a picturo ie majestic beauly that was calculated ul make Edgefield feel proud. Miss Emm ld Dozier-in our opinion the most beau cd ful girl in thu room-wore a dress Eglantine rose satin trimmed with wh: Spanish lace. A thousand people ask j us who she was, a question wo answer with eloquent volubility. Miss Si Abney woro a superb dress ol wh satin and whito brocade, with long trai J'e just from Madame D'Ormy's in Ni Of York.

MESSRS EDITOR1; : The event of most iatercst which has occurred on our side o Ute, waa the Dedication of the new cbuicl on Half-Way Crees. The Quarterly Cou ference on Saturday waa attended by ? largo congregation, including about 4( official members of Saluda Circuit. Tb< most important work of the Conference was the recommendation of Rev. D. pet Boyd to the Annual Conference for ad 1 mission, and the Rev J. M. Rushton roi Deacon's Orders. On Sunday, a large congregation assembled to hear the dedi cation al sermon by Rev. *W. D. Kirkland, which waa an elaborate presentation ol the "Mission of Methodism." It wi3 de livered in quite a liberal spirit, which, 1 think, made members of other denomina tions feel that the presence of the Meth odist Church in that section would not hvrm the.u, but be a blessing to all. The Building Committee very gracefully pre sented the church to the officiating Minis ter. Mr. John B. Davis reading tue form of presentation. The church is a splendid wood building, 34x4S. An amusing in cident is told on mv friend, Capt. Clinton Ward, in connection with this church. You know he ha3 a way of helping every body that needs help, so he subscribed $5.00 'o the building of Ibis church, and when (he money waa needed, he sent en veloped by mad what was supposed to be 5 00, but when the letter was opened by Mr. Boulwareit pioved to be a $50.00 note. Was that a mistake cr purpose? Let us hear from Brother Ward. While on t?e subject of tho new church, I must mention the Building Committee. Of the 7, only 3, W.H. Boulware, J. T. Webb and William Adams, are Meth odists ; the other 4, J. B. Davis, S. Tur ner, A. A. Werts and GM. C. Wheeler, though one was a Baptist 2, Lutheran and oue a member of no church, yet they worked with the most intense zeal; and without their co-operation the church could not have been built. " Their reward is on high." Tte grain crop in our part of the coun ty, both oats and wheat, which hos been sown and is still being put. in, is the larg est known to the oldest inhabitants ; it is cartainly the highest wisdom in the firmer. It ia thought, however, that in proportion there will be a still larger ciop of candidates put in, which will doubtless come up a good stand next year. There will be great changes among the preachers on this side; the Saluda Cir cuit will have two new preachers, but it is not known yet who they will be. I learn that the Rev, Mr. Boczjr, Lutheran, Las resigned at some of his churches, and will be succeeded by the Rev. Mr. Bowles have not learned as lottie Baptist churches yet. The Children's Missionary offerings at the various churches are voy interesting and profitable. Orange blossoms blooming fre.'-lv! On every hand the preachers, with their other worK, will be kept busy. TRAVELER. *PMfiorse Thief Near Augusta. The County Poi ice, Messrs.
