citizen of Darlington District, was found dead
near McCall 5: Co's Mill, on Tuesday morning.
The deccaaod was probably intoxicated and
having fallen down waa frozen to doath. An
inquest was held and a verdict rendered in ac?
cordance with thc facts.
THE SOMMERVILLE MURDER.-Goorgo Duffie,
tbe colored mon charged with the murder of
Uroouis at Summerville was brought to the
city yesterday and committed to jail. As the
indictment stands in tho name of tho United
States it is probable that he will bo tried by
the military. The post mortem examination of
the de?d body showed that the wounds were
inflicted on tho hoad by some sharp instrument
-it is believed a hatchet-which crushed the
bone, and that each of them were sufficient to
have caused deatb.
THE VT?3EK OF PRAYER.-Tho first week in
January, has for several years, been observed
both iu England aud America, as a time of
special united prayer. It is proposed to hold

all who believe iu the efficacy, and value the

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT-HON. GEO.
S. BBTAN PHESID IN u.-In re Phelan & Callen?
der o?. Thomas Flynn. Creditor's potition for
involuntary bankruptcy. Tho petition was
read by M. P. O'Connor, Esq., and OD bis mo?
tion, it was ordesed that Thomas Flynn appear
at the Court on January 9th, and show caus?
why the petition should not be grouted; also
that in the mean time Thomas Flynn and all
other persons bc restrained from making any
transfer of the debtors' property not excepted
by the Bankrupt law.
Zn re James M. Martin-potition for volun?
tary bankruptcy. James D. Treadwell, solici?
tor for petitioner. Messrs. Brewster k Spratt
appearing for Mr. Trealwell, read the petition,
and on their motion the Judge signed an ad?
judication of bankruptcy, referrable tu Henry
Summers, Register of the 3d Congressional
District.
COTTON PRESSES.-Although the receipts of
cotton have fallen oft" considerably during the
past few days, tho demand for freights keeps
thc cotton presses busily employed in making
the bags more compact and preparing thom for
shipment. The presses of Messrs. Groning k
Coates, ou Hayne-street and East Bay, have
been working steadily during the whole season,
and the puffing of their engine* kept timo with
the choking of type in the NEWS office. Though
the business has fallen off to a great extent,
the demand is still sufficient to .koop both
presses in motion. The smaller press, on East
Bay, near Union Wharves, has ouly boen in
operation a short timo, but has been constantly
employed. This press was rebuilt f.ince the
war, and though somewhat smaller tl an others
in the city, has been found to be very service?
able during tho past few months when the rush
for freights was at its height.
CLEAR AS MUD.-The streets wero unpleas?
antly damp yesterday, and the soft mud which
carpeted the sidewalks caused the fair prome?
naders to bless the divinity that iutroduccd
short skirts and thick shoes. The few unfor?
tunates who had not conformed to the fashion
had their attention fully occupied in the diffi?
cult task of keeping their trains from the mud.
In the upper portion of King-street, where
paving stonos aro unknown, the mud was fear?
ful and formed a slimy bog that was almost
impassable. Shoes soon lost their brilliant
polish, and the cars were sought as an ark of
refuge which would pilot tho faint-hearted to
dry land. Few who gazed despondingly at
the miry slough thought that "dost it was and
unto dust it will return." But if the pres?
ent fine weather continues old Sol will soon
convince unbelievers that his strength has
not departed, and the dust will receive the
anathemas which are now so liberally bestow?
ed on the mud.
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.-Peter Pir
nie, executor, vs. Martha P. Curtis, adminis?
tratrix, el al. Messrs. Porter <fc Connor for
complainants, and Messrs. Macbeth & Buist.
The exception filed was read, and arguments
made on the ground that tho defendants should
be allowed costs for all the special matters rn
agreement, motions and references which have
taken place in tho progress of thc cause. ' The
Judge made the folio"ring order, that tho re?
port bo reformed as prayed for by the defend?
ant in his exceptions, and that the costs bo
taxed in conformity with the law regulating
the taxation of costs in the Cour t of Equity in
the State of South Carolina.
Messrs. W. James Whaler, John Grimball
and Charles P. Porcher wero admitted to prac?
tice in tho United SUtes Courts as solicitors,

Esq., Commissioner of tho United States, to
inquire and report on the amounts duo on the
bond.
CHARLESTON FLOUR MILLS_The floor mills
of Messrs. Jno. Campsen k Co., in Market
street opposite State, have recently rccoived a
number of important improvements by which
the proprietors aro enabled to facilitate the
. grinding and delivery of ilour. The space al- !
lotted to the machinery is comparatively limit?
ed, but the arrangement is perfect, and each
part performs its separate function accurately.
The elevators, smut machine, coolers, and in?
deed every part of the machinery in the mill
is of the latest pattern. The engine, hopper,
and the heavier parts of the machinery aro all
on the lower floor, the second ?tory being de?
voted to the bolting, wheels, coolers, &c. in the
rear of the mill is a large storehouse where the
supplies of grain and hay, kc., are kept. Messrs.
Campsen & Co. have secured* the services of
Mr. Reid, au old and experienced miller, and
though tho mill has been in op?ration but a
few months, it has already proved to be a pay?
ing enterprise, and tho orders received keep
the employees constantly busy. The flour
nulls eat?bli8hed by Messrs. Campsen k Co.
are a proof that energy and activity must com?
pel s access, thou/,h business may be prostrat?
ed and capital wanting.
THE LADIES' FUEL SOCIETY will hold
monthly mooting at the Depository, Chali
street, on the 6th inst., at 1 o'clock.
Tho Ward Collectors, Ward Distributor
other officers, are requested to bc puncti
attendance.
SERVANTS_It has always been a mati
difficulty for housekeepers to secure gooc
vants, and this evil has not been lessone
tho change in tho condition of the coi
race. From every side the same complai
heard. The principal difficulty is to
servants among tho colored class who
some idea of the nice distinction bet'
?/i eton and ft???. A majority ol' the house
vants now-a-days are perfect nomads, and
the descendente of Ishmael, their han
against every man. They seldom retain ?
nation longer than a month, but mako c:
lent uso of their time, and seldom leave v
ont fleecing thoirj employer?. So many
stances of this systomlof plundering have
curred recently that it would be well for ho
keepers to keep their valuables secured,
their servants under a strict surveilla
Mauy of the petty larcony cases that are
ported have been effected by former Berra
who aro posted concerning the domestic
rangements of a bouse, and can easily set
an entrance. Unfortunately, servants are
ccssary evils, but unless they are well kno
employers cannot bo too vigilant.
DISTURBANCE AT FOBT MOTTE-THE LEA
DI ABMS DEFYLNO MILITABY AND CIVIL L
-A report was prevalent in the city yoster
that a negro had been shot at Fort Mo
and that troops had beeu sent from Colun
to quell tho disturbance. ?The evening's ti
from Columbia brought tbe following parti
lars : On Thursday morning Mr. Diedi
Hano, who plants near Fort Motte, was
costed by Jeff. Davis, one of his former slai
who wished to purchaso a pair of shoes,
liane had a small store in which he kept pl
tat ion supplies, and from which he had
winced the treeJmon many articles. He i
Joff. Davis that ho was already in his d
and that he could not have the shoes. DE
became very indignant at the refusal, t
commenced threatening Mr. Hana, saying t
ho woold shoot him, ?fcc. Mr. Haue is quite
old man, and, fearing the negro might do 1
some injury, he got his gun, and the thre
being continued, he fired, wounding the neg
but not seriously. Tho shooting was no soo:
known to the negroes on the neighboring pl
talions, who belonged to tho League, than tl
commenced assembling, and in a short ti
nearly three hundred were at tho spot, most
them being armed. They surrounded I
house, posting pickets, and preventing all
gross or egress, and said that they would ti
the case in their own bands and would all
no interference from either the civil or m
tary authorities. No one was allowed to cn
the house excopt the doctor who was attei
ing the boy, and Mr. Hano wis mode a cit
prisoner, though no violence was offered to 1
person. His friends seeing the position
affairs, dispatched a message to Columbia
tho assistance of the military. One compa
of the garrison wer* immediately sent to t
fort, but their _.*mval had been barely ?
nounced when the forces of the League d
appeared. The valiant host, who respect
neither tho sword or the gown, had vanishe
and the soldiers had the battlefield to thei
solves. Mr. HaDe was placed under arrest,
answer any charges that may be made agair
him. At last accounts the negro was recovt
ing, aud there were no apprehensions of ai
further disturbance.

INCENDLVBISM IN THE COUNTBY.-lu additic
to tho receut incendiary fires in Darlingtc
District, already noticed in these column
The Southerner says :
A few days before Mr. Lido's calamity tl
! torch was applied to a building, containing foi
der and hay, on the premises of the late Chai
cellor Dargan, and tue same was consumed.
On Sunday night last, the torch was also a]
plied to soinc building at the Cyprus plantatio
of tho late James S. McCall and one or moro <
them were consumed.
The dwelling house on Gen. J. B. Nettlei
plantation-in which tho General was sleeping
for the first time in months-was fired on Wet
uosday night, and before much could be save
was soon in a blaze and the Genoral bad bu
time to save himself.
Stealing has become so common that it i
scarcely noticed now ; the absorbing quostio
is how to savo one's premises from the iu
cendiary's torch.

I have always recommended the Faber Polygrode
Lead Pencils as the only pencils fitted for both or?
namental and mathematical drawing; but, altera
thorough trial of tho American Polygrade Lead Pen?
cils, manufactured by the American Lead Pencil
Company, New York, I find them superior to any
pondi lu use, even to the Faber or the old English
Cumberland Lead Pencil, being a superior pencil for
sketching, ornamental and mechanical drawing, and
all the ordinary uses of a lead pencil.
These pencils are very finely graded and have a
very smooth lead : even the softest pencils hold the
point well; they are all that can be desired in a pen?
cil. It gives me great pleasure to be able to assure
Americans thut they will no longer be compelled to
depend upon Germany or any other foreign market
for pencils.

or THE
SOUTHERN HOME JOURNAL,
UNTVEBfiALLT ACKNOWLEDGED
To bo Mie best Weekly Paper in the
Country.
S10.000 REWARD
FOE INDIYLDUAL WORK AND ENERGY.
We will pay $10,000 in premiums for 20,000 sub?
scribers to THE SOUTHERN HOME JOURNAL;
counting subscribers that come in from al] sources
after this date.
84000
Will be paid to the person who sends us the
largest number of subscribers, with S3 for each sub?
scriber.
83000
ft Will be paid to the person who sends us the next
largest number, with S3 for each subscriber.
83000
Will bo paid tc the person who sends us the next
largest number, with $3 for each subscriber.
81000
Will be paid to the person who sends us the next
largest number, with S3 for each subscriber.
Two Six Months3 Subscribers, at SI 60 each, will be
counted as one yearly subscriber.
"How cnn you afford this ?" is asked.
Simply by setting apart, for tula purpose, CO cents
of each S3 sent us, which .will put the price of the
paper at our regulur club rates. When the number
reaches 20,000 subscribers, there will be $10,000 set
apart for the premiums.
"But lt will take a long time to make up 20,000 sub?
scribers," some will say.
Judging Irom what has been accomplished with?
out reward, we feel satisfied that by a little energetic
work, lt could easily be done within 60 days. Sup?
pose, for instance, 200 persons undertake to compete
for these premiums and send us on an average
two subscribers a day, in 50 days we should have re
cetve'd 20,000 subscribers, and the person who had
sent in the largest number on the day it reached 20,
00) wonld be entitled to receive the $4000, thc next
largest $3000, tbo next largest S20C0, and the next
largest $1000.
Subscribers' names will be received from any city,
town, or county outside of Baltimore dry. Our rea?
sons for excluding Baltimore is that parties in this
city, where fha paper is so well known and highly
esteemed, find no difficulty in getting from 60 to 100
names a day; another reason is to strip the proposi?
tion of everything Uko partiality. The result will be
published in our own columns, also the columns of
the daily papers, so that all parties Interested may
see that the premiums have been awarded to those
who really did the work.
Parties competing for the above premiums will
notify us, and may commence sending in toe names
of subscribers and the money, singly or otherwise,
from this date, which will bc credited to each as re?
ceived.
Any newspaper publisher, if bc understands the
business, will tell you that thoreis no humbug in this
proposition, but that we could easily afford to pay
$lo,uuo for 20,000 subscribers.
Money sent will be at the ilek ol'the party seuding,
