BUSINESS LETTISH* We ask that our own merchants and those of Charleston" give careful atten? tion to the buiiiaess letter published in our columns to-day. The points made are striking, ia regard to Charleston as ? market, and fully in accord with all our pre-conecived opinions and feelings in regard thereto. Let us build up our home metropolis-our home-by spend? ing our money and keeping thc profits of trade at home'. The principle is correct,aod the thing is entirely prac tical, as shown by our intelligent and esteemed contributor, frota ni?" personal experience. The Charleston merchant should also give heed to what .is said about adver . tising. If they want to build 'up trade in Charleston, they must lise thc indis pensable influence of thc press. K. K. a*.

THE CLABBSDOS JD IST (J RB .3 NOE Assassination of Peter Lemon-Assen hiing of armed negroes at and neb Manning-Thy Threaten Jp Manty and Fire-Hie whites assemlk /<* Prot 'ion and Defence-Parley an} Final Dispersion. Lenior>^oi KUled by Ult k^Kln?. Since Sunday morning last,! ?x??tej ?nd exciting rumors have prevailed ii our midst,' concerning the di??rbance in tbe-adjoioing county of C^rendoi, producing more or liss agitatfn of the public mind. We have been at some pairj?to get as near as possible tc tho troth irjregard to what occurred,, in order tot qniet'or satisfy toe public mind ia re?rd there? to. -'-. ... J On Wednesday afternoon fest, before nigh t,Peter LEMON, ? bIoc!f|nac, anda County Commissioner of Cla?ndon, was assassinated m his boggy, ca the public i road, about 1\ miles fron] Manningf] The assassination took placejat or near a branch or swamp thicket. ,; Buck shot entered the legs, stomach J breast and head of ?be unfortunate maf, .which, iti is believed produced instant death. Nothing satisfactory has ?me to light in regard to tho assassins,' but neither the whites or negroes belfcve that any such order as the Ku Kwx had any? thing to do with it. Lenio? was a turbu? lent and offensive negrij-notorionsly so-and had been once or.twice shot at -once by . colored raan,; whose sister, it is alleged, be had ratished. m And some of these parties, (probably white and colored) moved entirely by feelings of personal revenge, are-?elieved'to have taken his life. Lemon was returning from Manning, where, i:4s reported, he bad made some disturbance and had some difficulty, on thc day of his death, ile is said to have baen in a state of j intoxication, and to hale driven back into Manning once orj twice, before finally taking his leave. : * On Satuday, thc negt?es, armed, to the number of three or ;four hundred, rendezvoused at Fellowship Church, (near thc place of tb? killing) and about one hundred of ?em proceeded to Manning, threatening to take the lives often white men ??i to barn the town. There wer? butjew white men in towa, but messenger ware dispatch? ed, and thc handful wes speedily augmented, until", probtbly, some two or three hundred, at different times, were present. The Sheriff and Intendant, wc learn, requested Col. H. L. BENBOW to act. A parley ensued-the cha; actor or par? ticulars ot which wc hare not learned and both sides fiually dispersed, after two days. The leading11 whites acted with promptness, but ?ii calmness and prudence, and but for tais there must have oeen a bloody collation. At one time thc ne^rofs seized a colored man, named EO?ERT NELSON, whom they s?-?pk-imed, intending to put him to death, lletas tescucd by tbe whites, who declare?] that he should not die without a fair t?al. Thc negroes teem tolavc been great? ly excitca, and greatly^n confusion ts to their suspicions or information and counsels. They rctirtfi with threats' against certain parties ^suspicioned by them, aod thc end ot the difficulty is probably not yet. Tiiewhkcs are calm and determined, and whilst they will neither seek or encoaj gc a difficulty with them, will nd hesitate to strike telling blows in ? ifeace, if a col? lision cannot bc avoided The Columbia Unto (a paper- that frcqncutly asseverates i s purposo to deal fairly and publish ti ! truth) io the issue of Moaday hst, hi glaring sensa? tion capital Hues, ia regard to this mat? ter, headed "Ku Kn Outrage in Clarenden: County." JVi regret to tee this; in as much as f misleads the public mind abroad, ant tends to dis? tract and forment and w?jk up to deeds of blood the elements at lome-we fear for political effect. THE COUNTY COMJUSONEBS AND THE StXPKBlNTENDBfCY OW THE COUNTY POOH HOt'4* Our attention Las b'A mote 'than once called, within a wi t or two, to the fact that thc present cting Soper-, I intended of the Count) Poor House and Form ivaUo .004. f-tire* County ?otumissioners; and kl t *<rc? strong <:omplaiuts have, been ml e.,to 0?, and ?ontioue to be made, bj nen of both political patties, ander s eral haadings, iu connexion with ths matter. We propose io allude to thd calmly and free frc OJ feeling-in ai rle io which we think all oar pablio rievtocea and wroDga should be dise?e dand exposed -knowing that no bou man, be ho white 01; black, Jpepoofl or Bepublt caa, can object to a fair td legitimate criticism of p'ubj?o af ?ir . Thea .to th e points io question : It is urged primarily : That tbe late Board of County Commit Wrtr&i h| tjbe discharge of the legitim*? iaaotwas ol th&x office, lome timo ?vioas tb the j election and qualtficalioqef their ano* censors io ltfl0t? fleplj. Wgfy and installed properly, Bond, a Soperiotei ' Holl** abd Farm for ? lt wit* be femenibeted tiki. they would ^ ultimately quality. The" time fixed" by former Act of th e .Legis? lature within which they Wettf required to qualify- had expired, and tb?ii ?ltV oate qualification was only dndcr a subsequent toabl?Dg Act, extending the itime. . The afition, then, of the 0}? Board, in electing and putting in ^office a Su? perintendent of the Poor. House,, it is alleged, wai legitimate anti neces?&ry, inasmuch as the term of- the incutoheht expired previous to the time, at which ?.hey vacated their offices, and action io the premises became imperative. * Assuming that the election was legiti? mate, find that the late Superintendent, Mr. TRO?JBLEFIELD, was properly and legally in the discharge of the duties of the position, and had entered upon the same for the term of one year, for which he had been so elected, the question is raised, sad we think naturally, as to hdwhewas displ?c??j or induced to relinquish his rights and duties in the premises,? Statements have been made to us, as to how this waa accomplished, some of Which are prejudicial to up? right bearing and ho nest ad ministration; but as wc cannot.speak from the record upon this point, we pass it by, with this "rennrk : That had the incombent been removed, and another, an outsider, nnd not a member of the Board, been in? stalled io his place, there would have been but comp?ratively little ground for unfavorable criticism,, however much basis there might have hean for legal action. But the ipcumbcot^-an honest man, and a successful and acceptable Superin? tendent, as far as we have learned-was removed, and a member of the Beardy one of the County Commissioners, now occupies his place. This is fact, and speaks for itself. Whether the former officer was removed bj the Commis* sioners, specifically to the end tliat one of their number might talec his place, we shall not undertake to say. But the fact is apparent, at least, that the Commissioners did vote for and elect one ; of their own number to the place, and that the member elect roted for himself Wo here also pass over what might be urged in arraignment, tn foro conscienti3t~-what might be Bsid about thc delicacy or difficulty, of taking position which involved one's own vote, when but three votes conid be cast. And wo come, now, to probably the leading point of objection urged : The fact that thc Superintendent of the Poor Jloi'se-and Parin, ns Such, and by virtue of bis additional authority as CcuDty Commissioner, makes sill purchases of supplies, stock, implements, &c, for running the same, and, as Count:/ Com" missioner, approves his own bills, or the bilis rendered for his own purchases. Here, it is urged, isdelicacy of situation and facilities for fraud sod improper usc of the people's money, such as should not be encountered oo the one hand, or permitted bri the other, by or to any public officer. And it is not within a reasonable calculation, to suppose that the pebplri could or should ".be satisfied with such an administration of their affairs. SUMTER BITTERS.'THE GR??? SOOTH ERK'TONJLC.
