OIL, iiptdalijf J»r Cotton and Woolm Faetorioi. We
claim that this Oil does not girs, and may be run at
graater speed with leis powor than any other Oil exeept

Mr W H Porter, Superintendent oi Phssaix Cotton
Factory, says of it: **I haro be«n using your Lubrieot-
log Oil for 2 or 3 monibs, and Scd it to bo tmperior to
an> other Oil now in for lubrioating.”
Mr John Eershaw, Sup’t of Bloaat’s Creek Faetory,
says: *‘1 can cheerfully say yonr Lubricating Oil is a
superior article. It doee aot gam in the least, but keeps
ih« journals olear and bright *'
Mr A F Beokerdito, Chief Engineer of the C S Arse
nal and Armory of this plaoe, was requoated to try it
and says: “I tiiirfc for litht aaohtaery—anoh as Cotton
FaetoriM—aadf or heavy machinery when the motion
is alow, yonr Lubricating Oil will compare next in qaai-

Other cotton manafaotnrdrs bars tried it and pro

AN ATROCIOUS INCIDENT.
Mrs. Mary Beckham, living on the'Mississippi)
near Islaad No. 10, writes over her own name a
narratiye of the murder of her fiunily by Federal
n^ro troops. The following extract includes tha
chief facts:
^‘Th« next day I started ap the river, taking
the eldest with me as a nurse. Two nights after
I left, sover&l white soldiers came and fired into
the house, killed the watch do^, and tried to get
ic. My husband told them if l^ej forood thean-
stiives in, he would shoot- They then went to
the negro cabins and said to the negroed that
there was money in the honse, and they intended
to have it, but fearing the^ might get hurt|
they left and went to my fitther’s (Daniel Wat-
Bcm’si) who was away from bana. My sMiher
aa4 sister were alMO. GRiey knoekM at tlia
loor and Mtd ^9 wwated MNMtihing to eat, that
no tk«m OQ the porch, and when they got it, they
»»i» we do act want anything to eat, we want
nioaey.
‘‘They thca tried to push my sister into the hall;
the tried to rec>ist them; they then drew their
guns; tolil her if she did not give them the money
which they said was buried in the cellar, they
would shoot her. This she refused to do. They
then wcnivto the ccliar and dug it over and re
turned, saving they had been misinformed, that
there was no money there. They then left,
which showed plainly it was money they wanted
at my house. On Tuesday morning, about 9
o’clock, August 4, 1863, twelve armed acgro foi-
dlcra c:ime to the house, there being no one thore
ezocpt my hnsband, fathor-in-law, BenjamiB Beck
ham, and four of my children, and some of our
family negroes. They rushed on my husband
and tied him, took off his watch and pin and
rifled his pockets. They then tisd my father-in-
law and dragged them to the river (^it being about
thirty yards.) They killed my husband on tcp
of the bank by shooting him in the head. They
then out off his shoulderblade and rolled his body
into the river; his clothes looked as if there had
been a great struggle.
“They then took the old gentleman, stabbed
him three times, oucc in the heart, and cut one
of his cars off. After throwing his body into
tho river, they proceeded back to the house where
two of thorn had baen guarding my dear little
children. They spoke to my eldefit daughter,
Laura, aged fourteen years, telling her to get up
andiollow her damned old daddy, at the same Ume
presenting a pistol to her temple. The children
then were driven to tho water’s edge, where their
father and grandfather had been murdered, and
thcTi they were put to death in the most cruel
manner.
“The youngest, Richard, aged two and a half
years, wrs thrown into the wa^er alive. Laura
jumped in and attempted to rescue him, and
whilst, in th>* water, waist deep, begging for
mercy, she was knocked on the head with the
butt end of a gaa, en^.irelv separating her fore
head, and then stabbed in tho side. Kate Ida,
eleven years of age, was then disposed of. She
was tc'.to’i wlv.1 tcuos uatU her head and should*

over. Caroiin.', ajvcn yc’iT^ of age, shot
t’tirc>Ui^' taa hend atd so disfigured that she did
not ioo- hko ft human. After they had murder-
-d thoui i'll fiad thrown their bodies i^to the
“ircr, they rt^turc d to the house, taking every-
thiug valrtbie and all the clothing they could
carry.
“Then they started for Island No. 10, think-
lag or kr»owi i!» thoy wouii] be protected if they
r?aohe-i fh-'-r.' iu s»faty. While they were kill
ing the cbildreG, h m m by the name of Everett

A Hiulsi/me. Affai'-.—The army correspon
dent of the Appeal, writing from Johnston’b army
.on the 4th, gives the following account of a
“handsomo aflEa*r:”
This mornijg a handeome affair occurred on the
right luformation was brought to Gen. Wil
liams that Wilder’s “Lightning” Brigade of regu
lar cavalry were sloshing ab}ut in tho swamp in
his front with a view to ascertaining whether or
cot the dense swb.mp growth waa inhabited by
the pej,tiferous rebels. Old “Cerro Gordo” im
mediate iy di^moaored about one hundred of h ia
men, and moving them lor«?ard, placed theia in
ambujh to rcocive the visitors. Strict sil*,noe
was eojoincd, aud caoh man stood grasping his
tmsty rifle and fairly itching for tho opportunity
to use it. Nor had they long to wait, for in a
few minutes the he&d of tho column hove in sight,
floundering i\nd splashing through the mud,
busies »ad wire, until they reached the end of
the line, whet, a iit.lt wa. callcd. Tbe scene was
ludicrous in the extreme; terrible oaths, Teuto
nic, Celtic anu Jiiisocgcnotic^ were freely vented
upon tue d—d t mntry, mingled with cries,
I “ivumo out of la' s^aicp, Jonnie Reb. Cume
out, tT jTi gets hurts/’ which was received with
bursts oi jau"a!er. “Tiie^'c’s no one there. For
ward,” cries t;«e vaUant Colom l, and off they
started; but ere th y had gone many paces, their
ears were greeted with a ory wl«ioli alwayti atnrt-
les one, no miitf^r whf-iher fitting quietly at
home at the “we;- sma’ hours,” or upon tho field
oi carnage. That cry was “fire,” and the next
moment about forty of tho?e who had so lately
abused mother earth, were lying calmly up . n her
breast, and others writhiDjj; in pain, whilst on
every side their valiant comrades could be he%rd
rushing throngh swamp and morass p^ll mell ia
