THE AFFRAY ON SUNDAY NIGHT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.1 hope you will spare a small space in yonr

columns for a true and correct statement ofthe proceedings at my house oh last Sundaynient,About seven o'clock in the evening a party

composed of about ten colored men and one

white man-all more or less intoxicated-rush¬ed into my premises, and commenced a searchfor some seamen alleged to have deserted froma vessel in this port, which, by the way, is not

true, as the officer in charge gave themliberty to go. On my desiring to see a higherauthority for searching my hons-;, they in¬

formed me that they had none, and did not re¬

quire any. On that I refused to let them pro¬ceed with the search. Shortly after, TrialJustice J. G. Mackey, accompanied by anothergang of half-drunken ruffians, rushed m andinsisted on soarcbirg my bouse, which theydid in the most shameful manner. Ono of thecrowd i'nocked down an old man and kickedhim; the rest went up stairs and turned everyarticle io my house upside down, smashingand breaking as they went along, Mackey him¬self beating my children with a cane, anotherthreatening to blow my wife's brains out.After they had amused themselves that wayfor awhile they retired, and returned againshortly, repeating the same dastardly conduct.Now, gentle nen, iu the name of law and order,I would ask what is a man to do in such a

case? I have a large family, and all my chil¬dren are email; my wife ia jost getting over

ber confinement, and here are a set of drunkenruffinns, aided by what tbey call the law, tak¬ing charge of my boase, bro «king, smashing,and stealing wh&t they feel like, and, when ac

appeal is made to the ringleader, bo says, "Ifyou have money you can get out of it; if not,you must Btand the consequences."

If tnis way of abasing authority and violat¬

ing the rights of citizens don't soon change,God have mercy on our old Palmetto State,and on Your humble servant,

RICHARD MURPHY.[It is proper to add that Mr. Mackey declares

that the charges contained in the foregoingletter-excepting the fact that Mr. Murphysbouso was searched-are wholly untrue.-ED.NEWS.]

of August 26th, HENRIETTA ELIZABETH WALTJEN,born In Bremen, Germany, In 1846. "

The premature and unexpected decease of thisamiable and girted young lady startled the widecircle or her acquaintances aud caused deep sor¬row to her Immediate friends. Of sweet and love¬ly disposition and affectionate character, she wasas sunshine among her fain: ly and companions,andalwajs cherished as a ready sympathizer Inthe joys and sorrows or others. Her loss ls deep¬ly reit. Her sweet race will not again gladdenthe hearts or her bereaved lamlly and rrlends.Bright hopes and prospects have vanished In a

moment, and the only comfort for this harsh visi¬tation of the bereaved ls In that promise that weshall meet again In a better world, and "thatblessed are the dead who die In the Lord."

A star may perish from the azure sky,And yet its radiance cheer the watcher's eye;A flower may rade amii luifreshest bloom,And still Its petals yield a rare perfume;A chord on some sweet Instrument may break,Yet mournful echoes 'mid Its ruins wake.So may the loved and cherished one depart,And leave memorials in each loving heart.

pa- BEAR IN MIND.-WHEN THEdisease has undermined the health, and the phy¬sical system has become prostrated, a stimulant,that will not only strengthen, but remove th-,cause, should be immediately resorted to. Men¬tal distress ls also a fruitful source of the break¬ing down of the constituí ion, and the ravages of

thia enemy to health are truly alarming. For allsuch maladies HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT¬TERS have been found unsurpassed. By actingdirectly upon the digestive organs, they remove

the heavy, disagreeable feeling arter eating, sa

often complained of by persons or a delicate

temperament. As soon as digestion ls restored,thc patient finds his strength increasing, and hisgeneral health Improved.Thousands or persons certiry that lt may be

relied on in all cases or weakness or nervous

debility attendant upon sedentary habits. Thegenerality or Bitters are so disagreeable to thetaste that they are objectionable to a weakstomach. This ls not the case with Hosteller'sBitters, which will be fonnd mild and extremelypleasant. Balsamic plants, barks and roots con¬

tribute their resioratlve juices to render lt sooth¬

ing and strengthening. Its basis is tb? only parestimulant which has ever been producen, con¬

taining no fusil oil. or any other deleterious ele¬ment. The most careful and skilful chemistshave analyzed thc Bitters, and pronounce them

harmless. This ls scientific testimony; but the

testimony of the hundreds of thousands whohave experienced the preventive, and curativeeffects or the Great Vegetable Tonic and Altera¬tive or modern times ls still more conclusive. InFever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Biliousness, NervousComplaints, Chronic Complaints and General De¬

bility, lt ls as nearly Infallible as anything in this

fallible world can be. octl-D*c8
