those who have participated in the r?bellion. The

in our river. After a careful examination of the

THE LEE COUNTY TRAGEDY.- The Opelika Re?
corder confirma in every particular the report that
reached us last week concerning the outang of a
lady's throat by a negro, and the subsequent shoot?
ing of the negro, with the additional positive state?
ment that both were killed. The negro was a
freedman named Seaborn, formerly the property of
Wesley Williams, now deceased. Mrs. Vincent was
alone at the house of her husband, who resided on
the plantation of Dr. J. B. Fuller, several miles
south of Opalika, when the brutal assault was
made on her-the cause of the assault was not
known-Cc lumbtts Enquirer.
GEN. ANDERSON ABERCROMBIE.-Tho death 'of
ibis well knowD and much respected citizen was
announced on Saturday morning last. We under?
stand that he died on the evening previous, at the
house of his son-in-law, Judge Howard, in Wynn
ton. v
Gen. Abercrombie had reached the ripe old age
of nearly eighty-two years. For more than hali a
century he had been known and honored as a use?
ful, influential and estimable citizen cf Georgia
and Alabam a. He was born in Hancock County,
Ga., and in his earlier life represented that county
in the Legiiilature. He was also, at one time,
keeper of the Penitentiary of Georgia, and in every
public trust he came fully up to the good old
standard-"honest, capable, faithful." While a
citizen of Alabama-which he had been for per?
haps twenty-five or thirty years previous to bis
death-we believe that he neither filled nor sought
any public offioe, but remained in private life, ex
empMying thc virtues of the Christian gentleman,
the kind husband and father, the patriotic and
enterprising citizen, and the model Southern
planter.
Gen. Abercrombie was a consistent member of
the Presbyterian Church, and died in the assur?
ance of a happier life beyond the grave. The sod
that covers him rests upon the mortal remains of
one who lived a life without renroach, and whose
memory will carry us back to the good old davs of
the republic, when merit, honor, virtue and fidelity
were the standard of the man of distinction and
.esteem.-IbixL
NEW YORK DBI GOODS TRADE_The New York
Commercial^ in a review of the dry goods trade,
says:
Prices are not very firm. It is uncertain if any
great quantities of goods could be disposed of at a
reduction. Merchants are buying such amounts
as the actual necessities of their trade require, and
are very cautious about accumulating stocks.
Wootton goods do not show the same improve?
ment. The trade is without animation, and people
bave almost ceased to expect any change at
??resent. The auction sales of foreign goods con
inue to be quite animatod, but Emportera aro
generally submitting to a loss on their earlier im?
portations. Some goods imported this season bring
remunerative prices, but generally the dress goods
and spring f abrics can be purchased cheaper here
than they actually cost to import.
An official communication ?hows the aggregate
amount of $539,000 expended for subsistence
stores issued to destitute refugees and freedmen,
or persons not bolonging to the army, for tho six
months ending with December last. Of this,
nearly 24,000 are set down for Tennessee, $8S,000
for Louisiana, $170,000 for Alabama, $35,000 for
Georgia, $5:1,000 for South Carolina, $33,000 for
North Carolina, $74,000 for Virginia, $32,000 for
Washington, and other sums varying from $14 to
$1100, were oxpended in other Southern States.

L?TERAlTY,
THE GALAXY.-Barring a story now and then of
decidedly sectional complexion, we like tho Galaxy
very much, and rank it among the foremost repre
8entatives of Belies lettres in this oountry. It is well
edited, and has an able corps of writers engaged on
it, sufficient to warrant its readers and subscribers
in their expectations, twice a month, of fleeing an
attractive and yet substantial bill of fare. "Wait
ing for the Verdict," by REBECCA HAEDINO DAVIS,
is a well-written story, and the only thing we have
against it is that it is a war story. We have had so
much real war, that we e?chew all possible paper
wars. 'TheTemple and Lincoln's Inn," by GEORGE
SPENCE, W?PTO read with great interest by all who
revere that venerable institution ; and what read?
ing man belongs not to that vaet congregation of
worshippers 1 "Mazzini's Last Manifesto," by W.
L. ALLEN, uses very plain language, and handlea
the old Italian patriot witbr ->tgloves. "Rien neva
Plus." by EDWABD GOULE .?TUM, is the title of
an elaborate paper on Hombourg, Roulette, Rouge
et moh\ and everything thereunto pertaining.
This is, unquestionably, the most interesting arti?
cle in tho magazine. "The Claverings," by AN?
THONY TROLLOPE, is concluded in this number.
There are some pretty verses, and other prose arti?
cles also scattered through the number.

OBSERVATIONS OK THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF ECHAN NA?
BOBS-A Lecture delivered before the London College
of Preceptors, October 10, 1868, by Edward L. Yuu
mans, M. D. New York: D. Appleton St Co.
We are indebted to Mr. JOHN BUSSELL foi* a copy
of this very interesting lecture-a pamphlet of
only 40 pages, which, however, is replete with in?
terest; and we should be pleased to see it in the
hands of every man and woman of education. The
object of Dr. YOUMANS is to show that the doctrine
which has prevailed in the past, relative to the
study of the human mind, and that still prevails
is doomed to complete inversion; that the bodily
organism which was so long neglected as of no ac?
count, is in reality the first and fundamental thing
to be considered, and that, in reaching &. know?
ledge of mind and character through the study of
the corporeal system, there has been laid the firm
foundation of that science of Human Nature, the
completion of which will constitute tho next and
high est phase, in the progress of man. So vast a
subject can, of course, receive but scanty justice
in the limits of a lecture, and Dr. Y. only prop; sos
to present some decisive illustrations of the depen?
dence of mental action upon the bodily system,
and to point ont certain important results which
has bsen' already arrived at by this method of in?
quiry.

fessor in Goertingen, und, CU. SHEP ABD, VIS New
Haven. Hannover : I860.
We have received a copy of the above named
very interesting brochure, the careful and pains?
taking work of Dr. SHEPARD, at this time finishing
bis studies in Goettingen, under Professor WOEH
LEB, to whom this book is dedicated. Dr. S. is
the son of Professor CHARLES TJPHAM SHEPARD, for
many years the distinguished Professor of Chemis?
try in the Medical College of South Carolina.
Professor S., as is well-known has de?
voted many years of his life to the study of
organic chemistry, and it must be very gratifying
to see his son enter on a similar career with such
flattering prospects of success. Dr. SHEPARD, Jr.,
we learn, will assist his father next winter, in his
professorial duties in the Medical College of this
city. The subject of the monograph, with the
German title abo ve given',- is not one of general in?
terest. ("Experiments on the formation of Hip
puric Acid in the animal organism.") To appre?
ciate it, presupposes an intimate acquaintance
with organic chemistry, possessed by few even of
our professional gentlemen,-others than teachers
of that science.
Dr. CU. SHEPARD, Jr., has, however, amid
the devotion to the sciences, still found time to
burn Incense alBo at the muses' flame. Of this
we have ample proof in tho highly poetic and
beautifully descriptive narrative of his ascent of
Mount Cenis, during an Alpino tour last Summer.
The narrative was published in the Galaxy, a few
months ago. We predict for this young gentleman
a brilliant and prosperous career, both as teacher
and author.
Vieron HUGO, raconte par un Temoin de sa vie.
The publishers of the Courrier des Etais Unis have
published a neat octavo volume (for 75 cents) of
the above named work. Tho "Witness of his fife."
who has given this biography of the French poet,
to the world, is none other than Madame HUGO.
With charn?ng simplicity she narrate, the milita?
ry, political and literary struggle of the first Em?
pire, of the Restoration, an i of the Monarchy of
July, from 1802 to 1811, and the life of V-.CTOR
HUGO is traced, step by step, from his birth to his
entrance into the French Academy. The task,
says a French notice of the work now lying before '
us, was difficult, and Madame HUGO required (
much tact to write this book. She exhibits much (
judgment in the execution of the work, and the *
cannot be charged with the least degree of par?
tiality. Most pleasing in this biography are the .
interesting details about the childhood and family
Ufe of the great poet. Only a sympathetic pen,
the pen of a woman, could paint with such charm {
and simplicity. Madame HUGO excels in these 1
family pictures, and the descriptive style. Noth?
ing could be more fresh, for instance, than the *
journey to Spain of Madame HUGO, the poet's
mother, with her children; so also the pages that 1
give an account of an excursion in Switzerland and (
the Talley of Chamouni.

A NEW religious weekly journal is the Church
Union-devoted to the unity of the Church. It
advocates entire and unqualified freedom through?
out the Church of CHRIST. It claims that the
Table of the Lord is free to all the Lord's people ;
that the pulpit of His gospel is free to all His true
preachers. It favors no "Sectarian" Church ; no
Church with Bishops as essential to being or well?
being. Jt fearlessly opposes Ritualism and
Rationalism; it is radical for freedom, for unity
and for reform ; it winks not a3 practical evils,
either in Church or State ; its aim is to be the
freest organ of thought in the world.

Our New York letter.
[FEOM OUB BEGULAB COBBES?ONDENT.] "
NEW YOBK, february 27.-The large hall of the
Cooper Institute was well filled, on Monday night,
by a select audience of thirty-five hundred colored
ladies mi gentlemen, with about a half-dozen
whites, inclusive of your correspondent, whose curi?
osity was excited and duly gratified. The occa?
sion was a grand concert, given for the benefit cf
the Colored Young Men's Christian Association by
the Black Swan Operatic Concert Troupe, of which
the Black Swan herself ard a brown "Southern
Nightingale" are the shining lights. Candor com?
pels me to admit and to record it here, black or
white, that the audience was one of the most order?
ly assemblages I have ever seen collected together
in any placo of amusement, and that the "gentle?
manly ushers" were as polite as French dancing
masters.
Tho Black Swan is one of the ugliest old
"maumas" I have ever seen; not fair, fat and forty,
but black, fat and tifty. She plays the piano most
abominably, sings rather well, and her chin is
adorned by an embryo beard that enhances, the
beauty of her ugliness. The Southern Nightin?
gale is a beautiful young girl, and sings extraor?
dinarily well, and with a modesty of demeanor that
it would be well for many of our white concert
singers to imitate. A number of other colored per?
seus took part in the performance, and your cor?
respondent was well pleased with the entire affair,
with the exception of one unlooked for feature not
on 'the programme, and which caused him involun?
tarily to grasp his stick more tightly and reflect on
the propriety or impropriety of hurling it on the
pt age at the features of the unlooked for feature.
Just as the performance was about to begin,
and whilst all eyes were turned towards the stage,
whore sat a select committee of black and colored
gentlemen and ladies, a white man, with a hypo?
critical and villainous cast of countenance, pushed
bis way through the crowd and advancing to?
wards the stage took a seat thereon, and looked
around as who should say-"I don't mind sitting
here, applaud me;" but no one applauded, and he
sat down looking rather sheepishly. A moment
elapsed, and a thought seemed to strike him (just
about the time that I had half an idea of present?
ing him with my stick)-then suddenly turning to
EI negro on his right, he shook hands with him for
Ave minutes,' and next repeating the performance
with an Othello on his left, he seemed once more
to say "applaud;" but no one applauded, and the
aegroes on the stage seemed to blush for the com?
pany they were in. The performance went off
well, but the whito negro went off when it was
balf over, having made a doad failure in his at?
tempt to become a white hon among the black
Lambs.
The great French restaurant, the Maison Doree,
lias come to grief. The proprietor died about six
months ago, and since then the establishment has
been going behind hand to the tune of about two
hundred and fifty dollars per day. The building
bas been sold for two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, and on the 1st of April a large dry goods
establishment will take the place of the fashiona?
ble restaurant that failed to take the wind ont of
DELMONIOO'S sails.
Professor AGGASIZ delivered a very lengthy and
exceedingly instructive lecture at the Cooper In?
stitute last night on the subject of monkeys, and
discussed the point whether or not men and mon?
keys Bpring from a common origin, arriving at
the conclusion that a man is a man for all that,
though he may look like a monkey ; that a mon?
key is a monkey for all that, thongh he may re?
semble a roan; and that "the idea of community
af origin of man and monkeys, and other quad?
rupeds, is a fallacy." However ugly some of os
may be, it is certainly a great satisfaction for ns .
to know that we are most positively not descended
from a family of antediluvian apes.

the afternoon of Tuesday last. A cow find calf in
tho building at tho time escaped unhurt.
At the time of the same discharge of electricity,
tho railroad track received a full share of the fluid,
which presented a beautiful phenomenon. We

to prevent any spread of the disease. Thongh

SOMETHING TO EAT.-Provisions here?Columbia),
compared with Yorkville prices, are high, in conse?
quence of which we cannot live as high upon the
same money as tho eaters of Yorkville can.
We give a few items of retail prices (of market
articles), in greenbacks, which we gleaned from
tho clerk of tho market himself : Pork sells at
about 20 cents a pound, beef from 12? to 15, veal
the same, mutton from 15 to 18, eggs 25, chickens
35 to 50, turkeys $150, butter 40 to 50, sweet pota?
toes, Bold mostly from wagons, $150 a bushel, tur?
nips from $1 to $150 a bushel.
Firewood (which, by the way, is not something
to eat, though we mention it under that, head" for
convenience) is very low this mild spring weather.
We bought a load a few days ago at just half of
what we paid during tho cold weather a month
ago. A1 argo four-horse load-something over a
cord-sells for B?X dollars. When the seUcrs call
it a cord, tho prioe is from four to five dollars ; but
such cords are variable in aize.- YorJaiile En?

FROM WASHINGTON.
[Special Correspondence of the Ballimore Gazette.}
WASHINGTON, February 27.-The House this
morning was opened by a characteristic prayer
from the Rev. Mr. BOYNTON. This presumptuous
old man is in the constant habit of appealing to
the Deity specially to interfere in extricating the
House from the muddles they get into. On this
occasion he invoked Divine aid in 'thrusting
through the Tarim On other occasions he has had
the temerity, in a roundabout way, to assure the
Divinity that he might always be sure to be right
when following the lead of THAD. STEVENS and by
sustaining the previous question if moved by that
immaculate christian and patriot.
It is stated here, with confidence', that a scheme
with extensive ramifications has been concocted
in the Senate by which the State of Maryland is to
be cheated but of any choice of Senator for the
present. The plan seems to be this : Governor
Swami's credentials (should he not resign) are to
be referred to the Committee on Elections, there
to Bleep until the adjournmsnt of your Legislature,
when the acting Governor is to commission Cres?
well. The course Governor Swann has indicated
will checkmate this nefarious project, and it was
the only one that promised success.
Senator Johnson, I understand, is himself not
satisfied of the sufficiency of the reasons assign?
ed for his recent ? xtraordiiiary vote. He willa vail
himself of the earliest opportunity (probably that
to be furnished by the expected veto) to announce,
at large, the motives that impelled him to th?
course he bas adopted. His expose" is a . ai ted with
much curiosity.
I observe that the New ?ork World and other
Northern papers are "hesitating" as to what ad?
vice to give .the South in the present emergency,
although they declare that the infamous Sherman
Blaine%hellabarger-Wilson Bill should rightfully
be resisted by force. Did it never enter into the
noddles of these advisers ol' the recent slavehold
ing States that the people bf the South have a tol?
erably clear idea of then: duties and obligations to
themselves and of their altered relations to the
General Government ? They have nevertheless, in
some instances, surrendered their convictions in
deference to those of the North whom they regarded
as friends, and tn every such case they have been
left in the lurch when the time of trial arrived.
This has been keenly felt, and the incertitude
and anxiety of the World, and euch prints, as to
what advice to give, when to give it, or whether to
give any at all, may very well be Buffered to simmer
down into a quiescent conclusion that advice from
such quarters, at least for tho present, can be dis?
pensed with, and especially if unaccompanied by
reliable assurances of corresponding practical sup?
port.
The Senate to-day passed a bill authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue "temporary
loan certificates" in the manner prescribed by act
of February 25,1862, bearing interest at a rate not
exceeding 3 per cent., principal and interest paya?
ble in "lawful money" on demand, said certificates
to constitute and be held br any national bank as
part of the reserve provided for by act of June 8,
1864. The bill farther provides that the amount of
these certificates shall not exceed one hundred mil?
lion of dollars, and that not less than two-fifths of
the entire reserve of such bank shall consist of "law?
ful money" of the United States. This bill was sub?
stituted for that passed by the House a fewdays :
ago, providing for the redemption of one hundred
millions of compound interest notes by the issue .
of the like sum in "greenbacks" bearing no filter?
est, and is the measure I heretofore stated as be- :
ing favored by the Secretary of the Treasurer.
The House was engaged to-day upon the Tariff
Bill. A majority are evidently in favor of its pas?
sage this session, but, I think, with no probability
of success, notwithstanding the pertinacity with
which it isjpressdd by the Committee of Ways abd
Means. Tue Northwestern Radicals may yet, .
however, be made to acquiesce in it by the appli?
cation of the party lash, in which event this "Bill
of abominations" will .be rubhed through at the
heel of the session-to the Hos* of other vitally im?
portant measures. During the discussions the
galleries were edified by aj?earned running debate ,
upon the composition and use of the famed "shod?
dy," by which it appeared Mi at it was an arrant
piece of cheater)' out-and-out. It was also shown
that there was but one manuiactory of "bunting"
in America-that located in Lo well, Mas Bach asetta.
The duty proposed upon this article was acknowl?
edged by the Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee to be prohibitive, but, notwithstanding ?
it enured exclusively to the benefit of a single
firm, it was justified uprn the ground that it was
beneath thu dignity of the nation that the stuff of
which the national flag is made should be manu?
factured anywhere but on American soil.

About ten o'clock last night an alarm of fire was'
sounded for the thud district, and was found to
proceed from the brick block of cotton warehouses <
situated on Bay street, near Jefferson, owned by \
Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson and Miss Telfair. The fire
originated in the junk store of R. W. White, and
when first discovered tho flames were issuing from
that building, and soon communicated to Miller & '
Brother's cotton warehouse on ono side, and Grady
& Tully's warehouse on the other. In the former
was stored 100 bales of upland cotton, all of .
which was consumed, and in the latter 87,000
bushels of lune and 75,000 laths, which were
also destroyed. Owing to the inflammable na- :
ture c ! the contents of the store in which the fire -
originated, and the delay in securing a sufficient and \
prompt supply of water, the flames spread with
reat rapidity, and it was only by the almost sapor- ?
oman efforts of the firemen that they were final- <
ly subdued, and confined to the bondings men- :
boned above. The fire companies wore promptly \
on the ground, and the Metropolitan steam engine ,
bad the honor of throwing the first water. Several
daring firemen narrowly escaped being crushed by '
the falling walls, which fell into Bay street, about <
oleven o'clock, with a fearful crash. One lad waa. ;i
severely bruised by a portion of the debris striking
Lim; 'fortunately, however, his injuries were not
considered serious. We understand that the cotton
waa fully insured in the London Phoenix Insurance :
Company. The contents of Grady & Tully's ware- .
bouse, which, as above stated, consisted of limo
and laths, waB insured for $9000. We have not ?
been informed whether any .insurance had been
effected upon the buildings. Tho value of the pro?
perty destroyed is estimated at from $80,000 to ,

SHOCKING MURDER- ONE BROTHER KILLS ANOTE- ?
ER.-A murder occurred at one of the plantations
of Green A. Chaires, Esq., near this city, on Satur- '
day evening last. Thc te s tim o ry on the inquest 1
held by Coroner J. C. May was in substance aa '
follows : Geo. Ormond and Phil Bainbridge, both 1
colored and brothers, were employed by Mr.
Chaires. George was at work in the field when
Phil came in, and the brothers got into a quarrel
about the work. George, who was the eldest,
spoke crossly to Phil, when the latter retortoi, i
and thevbouh seized axes, but were prevented
from injuring each other by the other hands.
Phil then left for the house, and got his gan and
started towards the field. Meotmg his brothel,
he fired one barrel, which missed; lie then fired
the other barrel, and shot him through tho heart,
killing him dead.
The verdict of the jury waB in accordance with
the facts. Phil was ar.eased, and ls now confined
in jail.-Tallahassee Floridian.

WU PHOSPHATE OF LIME
OR
BONE DUST MANURE.
WE BEG TO CALL THE ATTENTION OF PLANT
EES to tho above as a superior manure for either
Com or Cotton, tho experience of last year proving lt
equal if not superior to Peruvian Guano.
The following is the report of an analysis made from a
lot now in store:
Phosphate of Lime, soluble. 8.20
Phosphate of Lime, insoluble.28.80
-37.00
Sulphate of Lime and traces of Sulphate of
Ammonia, Potash, Soda and Magnesia,
with some free Sulphuric Acid, about. 8.00
Hygrome?c Water expelled at 212 tlegroes.... 23.00
Combined Water (a portion of this belongs to
tho Phosphate of Lime, which was esti?
mated after its ignition; the greater part of
balance is doubtless associate 1 with the
Animal Matter) and Animal Matter. 30.00
8ilica(Sand). 2.00
IOOTPO
The Animal Matter, as might be supposed in a fertilizer
so largely derived from fish, is less highly nitrogenizGd
than that in tho Peruvian Guano. Boll ic will afford, du?
ring the process of decomposition, about three per cent,
of Ammonia. The Oil (which is remarLably abundant)
though not generally reckoned among Manures, being
here associated with other leas stable animal principles,
cannot fail of adding to tho value of the mixture, espe?
cially on light soils. The Insoluble Phosphate being
thoroughly organized and, at the same time, minutely
divided, is also well adapted to a gradual appropriation by
the plant
According to the present sample, COE'S SUPER
PHOSPHATE ls a judiciously and faithfully manufac?
tured Manure, and will not disappoint those who will
give it a trial. Even if employed alone, I should expect
highly remunerative results.

OBITUARY.
DIED, In Aiken, 8. C., February ?12, 1867, Mrs. HAR?
RIET GALE, beloved wife of R. W. GALE, and youngest
daughter of THOS. B. and OABOLTSE P. Bunn.
Heir's was a most sudden and unexpected death I Only
the Sabbath previously she listened to the message of
salvation. But while in the sanctuary she was seized
with a cold, shuddering chill, which, alas 1 Indicated the
approach of the messenger of Death.
? In her illness all was done that skUl and love could ac?
complish. Vain, however, were all human efforts toward
off the fatal blow of "the last great enemy.'' In the arms
of her fond sister she gently fell asleep in Jesus. It was
upon the morn of the 22d February, ushered in by the
loud artillery of a nation, that abe quietly passed away
from earth to Heaven, where the day of her redemption
was celebrated.
Mrs. GALE leaves a heart-stricken husband and four
little children to mourn her loss. These, with her aged
parents and brother and sisters, we commend, in their
deep affliction, to the mercy of the Lord and ,4the Word
of His Grace."
Our sister was baptized by Bev. Dr. Kendrick, and was
a member of the First Baptist Church of Charleston.
It was during the war that my acquaintance with her
was first formed and amid the severe trials through
which our people were then passing it was my privilege
frequently to converse with her upon the precious prom?
ises of the Bible; and oftentimes nave her eyes filled
with tears as she spoke of God's goodness to her.
Her religion was of an unobtrusive character, but prompt
and generous In those practical acts of charity which
Jesus enjoined upon his followers. The poor and needy
always found in her a sympathizing friend. In domes?
tic life she possessed those lovely qualities which en?
deared her to her family. Possessing a cheerful dis?
position, she diffused a sunshine of joy and happiness
among the loved ones at home.
Nor only around the hearthstone did the loveliness of
ber character shine forth. In the social circle she was
the centre of attraction. Her graces of manner and
powers- of conversation drew around her many an ad?
miring friend. And those whom she won she never lost
afterward.
But gone, in the bright noonday of her sunny Ufe
?;on? to her cold and silent grave- the world looks lone
ier for her leaving it 1 like an ecUpse of the sun in its
midday brightness, her career has been shrouded by
Death; and those of us that are left feel the strange
and saddening effects of this sudden gloom. The light
of a happy household has been put out, and bleeding
hearts have been sobbing forth the bitterness of their
great grief.
May He, who never "breaks the bruised seed," and
never "quenches the smoking flax," graciously "heal the
wounded spirit," hud "bind up the broken heart." 0.
