To many lte:irts in the old coun

In the time of Cromwell, a
young soMier, for eom o fie nee,
was compel led to die, and the time
of hia death was fixed "at the
rinirinir of .the curfew." Natur
jilly, such a doom would he fear
fnf and bitter to one in thu year
of his hope and prime ; but to
this happy youth death was doub

whom he had long loved.
The lady, who loved him ar
dently in return, had - used her
efforts to avert his rate, by plead

Tnjier despair she ried to bribe
the old sexton not to ring the
bell, but she found that impossi
ble. The hour drew near for the
execution. The preparations were
completed. The otlicers of the
law brought forth the prisoner
and waited, while the sun was
setting, for jhe signal from the
distant bell-tower. ,

Washington, October 5.
A'report received by Attorney
general IVil Hams, through "the
waf department, from the army
officer commanding in the Edge
field district, Scuth Carolina, da
ted September 21. in regard to
the present troubles on the Glover
plantation there says:
When I reached the scene; of
trouble, hands of armed white and
colored men vcre assembling
fronr every direction. The form
er numbered at least 300. Of the
latter I saw, only Jabont seventy
five or eighty, but am satisfied
that a much larger number was
concealed in the words, judging
from the bold front they present
ed. T at once proceeded to find
the leader of the colored people
Joito Ned Ten nan f -but was un
able to see him that night. I then
proceeded to Mr. Glover's houBe,
where. a part of the White forces
were bivouacked. In conjunction
with some of the best citizens of
tliis party, I talked the matter
oYer, and I am. happy to eay i hat
their wise counsels prevailed with
their men. This morning, about
daybreak, the white force united,
and the subject was again talked
over I then proposed o have one
or two of the whites accompany
me, and have a talk With the
blacks, so as to prevent bloodshed
and arrive at a proper understand
ing: This was accepted at once.
Accompanied by three of the
Avhi tes, I met this man Tennant
ttd Hftai-w-jv4'4iMt- pvtvv4
terview, in which lie stated h is
version of the difliculty, it was
finally agreed to disband both par
ties, which was done, 'but, I-must
sa reluctantly on the part of the
whites. Uotji parties arc we' I
armed in fact, the whole country
is perfectly organized and; ready
to hike the field at any time! The
blacks (militia) are armed by the
State. -
The officer, h conclusion, says;
' After a careful investigation
of the diflic.ilfv, I am s.nttistied
the facts areas follows : Ned Ten
nant, a captain ot the militia, and
a delegate to the late republican
convention at Oolumnia S. C, a
veiy prominent negro, and living
on the Glover plantation, had an
attack made on his cabin on Sat
turday night, the 19th inst., by a
party o f five win to me n w ho d i s
charged three jiistol shots into the
door, and then made off." He sus
pected G lover ami piic Adams to
td -have been of .the party, and at
once beat his drum as u signal for
the negroes to assemble at his
f lace- this being the signal pre
viously agreed upon to mcei
emergencies of "this sort, or, as
Tennant states, to save h's life,
lie aasembled his men and sent
runners out threatening - ven
geancc against Glover and his
family. Glover wat? not slow, to
learn the coudidion of aflairs, and,
in turn, signaled his people. In
a few hours the whole country
was in tlie wildest state of excite
mcnt; During all this time no
body seemed to know the where
abouts of the county sheriff. The
generalimprcssion is that he has

as heretofore, to reconcile the par
tics and prescrvesthe peace to the

of tho illness of DrBonzano, the
umpire of the conlluittee, no meet

A Test of ITumau Waturc,
One day two men in Xenia
were engaged in a discussion as
to Beechers guilt or innocence.
From this our dehatere branched i
off upon the subject of human mv -ture
in general its foibles, weak-,
nesscs, and instability under cm- t
cial tests; and, growing earnest, ,
one offered to bet that there were ,
not a dozen men in that city who
would stand a certain test which
he specified. The wager was ac-
cepted, twelve representative malo
citizens designated, and to each a, ,
daint7 note written in a feminine
hand, couched in seductive, but
yet polished terms, was sent as .
coming from a lady.- The mis
sive stated that the writer had
seen the gentleman addressed,'
been impressed by his bearing
and appearance, and was most an
xious, &c, accord iug to the usual
style. The writer would he glad
to meet Mr. Vanity at such and
such a point at such a timeThe ;
notes were duly scntjand the
conspirators anxiously awaited
the result of the affair. Much to
the chagrin of the gentleman who
aceeptedthe wager, and the f
tnumph of the other, every one
of .the men to whom notes were
sent, married and single, bid and
young, appeared, at the proper
point at the exact time named.
