GAROTTE ROBBERY. — About nine o'clock on the evening of Friday last, as Mr John John was proceeding home from Narberth to his residence at Molleston Back, When near Captainstyle, a man jumped out of the hedge, Jnd drawing something over his eyes and mouth, threw aim on his back. Another man then searched him, taking one shilling, being all the money he had at that time in his possession. Mr John has not the slightest Jdea who the parties were, the attack being so sudden 'hat it was impossible to recognise any feature. His artn is sadly bruised. Had this taken place the previous the thieves would have had a rich booty, as Mr i°kn had a large amount of money about his person. *his is the first garotte robbery in this neighbourhood.

CARMARTHENSHIRE. A NICE DOG.-A rather singular act of depredation Was recently discovered in the neighbourhood of Pont- ^ttes. It appears that Isaac Daniel of Pwllyclai was r>ssessed of a cow, which yielded but little milk to her vwner. The animal being a tolerably fine one it was con- jecture^ and very rightly, that she was milked by some whose notions of moral right were rather vague, rightly'.watch was therefore kept for a considerable j?6.r'°<ii .but no thief was observed, and yet the yield of was as little as usual. One day, however, the cow i as perceived lying down, and a neighbour's dog busily 'Peking her. Means were immediately taken to prevent 'recarrenco of such practices by the dog, and the quan- »v of milk since obtained fron the cow has been ample. t Appears that the dog made it his business to watch the CQ'IV, and as soon as she laii down to help himself.

This was the day for the open prize competition, and the day of the association. A large concourse of spectators consequently assembled on the ground towards the after- noon, the morning being, according to the order of things, exceedingly wet, and the rain pouring in torrents for hours together. About one o'clock, however, the sun obtained the mastery of the clouds, and shone resplendentlv until the close of day. In the Town Prizes some splendid shooting was made, Private Howell, No 2 C.R.V. keep- ing up the prestige of his Company by taking the first prize. For the 2nd and 3rd prizes there were three ties of 25 each, and in shooting off Private J.Clarke, 17th Glamorgan, made a centre, Sergeant Jenkins, No. 2 C.R.V., an outer, and Private Gregory, 17th Glamorgan, a miss.

H THE 'FRIENDS' AND THE! CIVIL WAR. A correspondent of the New York TribzinepWTitingftoin Philadelphia, says:— t < You. know that many of the Society of Friaads.have long resided In North Carohlla." and that a fundamental article of their faith is a refusal to take up arms under any circumstances whatever. In the early stages of the robellioa, the rebel power. of North Carolina, well know. ing: their peaceful principles, permitted them to ptf unmolested, though known to be unconditionnl Union men. But as time went on disaster to the rebelliosi suc- ceeded disaster; men were captured, killed, or disabled to no fearful an extent that every one of the army must be brought into it. Early this year the conscription fell upon the Fri&nds. In one neighbourhood some tweiveof them were drafted. In accordance with their well-known principles, they refused to join in the army. But everywhere the reign of terror prevailed, and they were forced into the ranks. Hero muskets were given them, but every man of them refused to touch the weapena. Every conceivable out- rage was heaped upon them they were tied up, starved, and whipped. Still they remained firm to their con- scientious convictions, and refused to fight, finally the muskets were strapped to their bodies. 'One of these Friends was singled out as especially obnoxious, and was whipped unmercifully. The officer in charge was lawless and brutal, and on one occasion ordered him to be shot as an example to others. flu called out a file of men 10 shoot him. While his execu- tioners were drawn up before him, standing within twelvu feet of their victim,the latter with ritted eyes to Ileavon and elevated hands, cried out in a loud voice, "Father, for- give them; they know not what they do." Instantly Imme the order to fire. But instead of obeying, the men dropped their muskets, declaring that they could not kill such a man. This refusal so enraged the officer, that he knocked his victim down in the road, and then strove repeatedly to trample him to death under his horse's feet. But the animal persistently refused even to sUpover his prostrate body. In the end they were marched with the rebel army to Gettysburg. In that battle they remained entirely passive, fired no shot, and in God alone trusted for pre- servation. Very early in the action the officer referred to was killed. The Friends, all unhurt, were taken pri- soners and sent to Fort Delaware. Here, by accident, it became known in this city that several Friends were among the captured, and two members of the society went down to inquire into the circumstaneesj but they were refused permission to see them. They went imme- diately to Washington, and there obtained an order for their discharge, Oil their taking an affirmation of allegi- ance. This opened their prison doors.' AMERICA. NEW YORK, August 20, Morning,—The New York Herald observes :—4 There still lingers a strong feeling to oppose the draft, awaiting an outbreak at any point for a renewal of the former disturbances Men still con- gregate at the street corners to dvtcusa the question, and they seem only restrained from mischief by a hope that the municipality will keep them from the draft. It seems only to require the action of the authorities to take the men when provided. The municipalty dot 8 nothing to relieve, and a desperate resonance is not unlikely.' The Herald is surprised at the unfriendly spirit ex- hibited by President Lincoln towards New York in per- severing in the carrying out of the draft, which he knows is so odious to the people. It WevA a strange requital for services rendered to the war by New Tork to now wantonly risk its destruction for a mere idea of no prac- tical value to the government; but, on tho contrary, highly injurious to it« true interests. The Conscription Act is a millstone around the neck of the administration, which will be sure to drag it down to political perdition.' The New York Tribune considers the draft simply 18 an assertion of the right of the republic to live, and say»: —' If government had no power to compel military service, it would be too weak to maintain a stable and permanent existence.' The correspondent of the Jltrald, writing from Charleston, 15th inst., says:- Seven shots vrl-ro fired for experiment upon Eort Sumter. Four were lodged fairly against the masonry of the geirge wall. One slruck near the pararpet over a magazine, another neat the base, and the others upon either side of the sally port. Immense uprising of bricls and mortar followed the blows of those ponderous projectiles, and wide deep holes in the masonry were clearly visible from the Federal batteries. The Confederates have organised nocturnal bombard- ments, interfering with the Federal operations at the ex- treme front. The story of the capture of 500 Confederate soldiers on the Island in the rear of Folly Island had no foundation in fact. The postponement of the bombard- ment was caused by the iifness of General Gilmore and some difficulty as to the quality of army ammunition. 'The Confederates have erected a line of earth-works a mile long upon James Island, from Fort Jackiort to Secessionville, although they have mounted but a few guns. This is supposed to be the destination of the gans taken from Fort Hunter. It is believed that the Con- federates would attempt to drive General Gilmore off James Island, or so to annoy him as to interfere with his siege of Fort Sumter. The Confederates are very active every night with steamers and schooners around Fort Sumter. There were indications that the Confederates would depend principally upon their obstructions and the interior line of defences.' The Savannah Republican says—'A feeling'of com- mingled doubt and apprehension, in some cases amount- ing to hopelessness, has taken pessession of the minds of the Charleston people. They look to the futare with many evil forebodings yet are csjm, self possessed and rosolute. The women and children remain, but business is nearly suspended. The young men are going into the ranks, and the old men go into the streets, or remain at home doing what they can to provide for the defenders. The magnificent sea wall is crowded every afternoon with ladies taking the air and listening to the thunders of the fleet and forts. All goods are being sent into the interior for safety. No one believes that Charleston is not perfectly deftnslb'e, but distrust is caused by the general impression that proper military efforts have not been made for its protection. It is due to Beauregard to say that the people await for the results of his opinion and labours before they even insinuate the charge of ineffi- ciency. It is true that appearances wear rather an un- favourable aspect now, but Morris Island and Fort Sumter have not yet been taken. Should both fall, though the peril to the city would be increased, the people would not surrender their hopes of Charleston. The enemy can never occupy Fort Sumter. That is a fixed fact. It will be destroyed before it shall fall into their hands, and if not Battery Bee ou Sullivan's Island could level it to its foundation in twenty-four hours. The inadequate defences of Charleston are partly due to the South Cfpolina planters not replying promptly to the calls of General Beauregard for negroes to work on the defences; and. after more than two years' pre- paration the enemy is knocking at the very fates of the city, and Charleston is not ready. The governor states that the planters prefer to pay a fine rather than respond to the great public necessity involving the lives of thousands of their fellow-citizens and perhaps their own liberties. It it hoped that the vigorous counsels of the Confederate generals, and the valour of the troops, will overcome all obstacles aad deficiencesf and save Charleston from Vandal tyranny and pollution.' Intelligence from New Orleans, to the llthinst., aays that three large steamers had arrived from St. Louis, glutting the market with produce.. There is great dis- content with the revenue regulations on the Mississippi. Tbe white man's party formed in New York, has passed resolutions that the vindictive spirit displayed by the Abolition press against whit* men, ebow that it is animated by that Tory monarchical spirit, whith in other countries crushes the people into beasts of burden and deprives them of a voice in the government. Aboli' tion will do the same in America as SQØ as it acquires sufficient power to carry out its diabolical designs. The time has arrived when white men should be vigilant and active, and repudiate every man affiliating vith the un- clean birds of abolitionism, whore touch is pollution and whose shadow is. disgusting. The resolution urge ths people to rely upon no man who will not swear eternal enmity to Lincoln and his whole crew of black, brown, white, streaked, and speckled supporters. The Herald thinks that the Emperor Napoleon will cause Mexico to acknowledge the Southern Confederacy, and maintain unaltered his ostensible position of a neutral, but states that he will not avoid responsibility by this course. He will increase the debt of resentment America owes him for his persistent efforts to ensure the co-operation of the European Powers in intervention.

r BURNING OF THE AMERICAN SHIP ANGLO- SAXON BY THE FLORIDA. News arrived in Liverpool on Friday from Brest, to the effect that the large American ship Anglo-Saxon, Captain Cavarly, was burned by the Confederate steamer Florida on the 2ht instant, about 30 miles S.S.W. off the Head of Old Kinsale. The Anglo-Saxon was owned by Messrs. Duncan, Kendall, and Co., and at the time she was captured by the Florida, she had the Channel pilot on board. The captain of the Florida, before he destroyed his prize, stripped her of all he wanted, sex- tants, chronometers, &c. The crew twenty in number, were landed at Brest on the 25th inst., from whence Captain Catarly intends to proceed to this port. The Confederate steamer, Atlanta, reported as being over- hauled in the dockyard at Brest, ia no other than the celebrated Alabama, whose bottom was so foul that her ^>sed wag materially lessened. Of course the United States Government will have something to say upon the subject.. subject. t ■ r r SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LIPE.-Intelligence was received in Liverpool on Friday, announcing the loss of the British ship Frankfort Hall in the China seas. From the brief announcement of her loss we learn that, of a crew of thirty-three men, only one man was saved. The Frankfort Hall was a fine new vessel, owned in Liverpool by Mr John Bramley-Moore, M.P. for Lincoln, and at the time she was wrecked was on her voyage from Cardiff to Shanghai. As the Frankfort Hall was some time overdue at Shanghai, apprehensions were naturally felt for her safety, and these doubts, unfortu- nately, now turn out to be too well grounded, and it is now understood, from the telegram received her, that she struck on a coral reef on or about the 19th of Feb- ruary last; and, as we must naturally conclude, from J the fearful loss of life, at once became a total wreck. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A CHILD.-On Saturday night Dr M. Hardwicke, the deputy coroner for Central Middlesex, held an inquiry at Hornsey respecting the dealh of James Wilson, P.8Cd seten years, the son of a land surveyor residing jat .N,). 38, Ashburtongrove, Hotkey. On Fri ilH het Mr Wilson left home, and, as his wife. dead, entrusted his children to the care of a daughter, ag»d fifteen. They bad a quart of mussels for breakfast. Shortly afterwards the deceased was I taken ill, and died at six o'clock the nme evening. Two other of the ehildren were attacked, but recovered. Dr. Charles Taylor, wha made a post-mortem examination of the body, said that the lungs were congested, and there was an effusion of serum into the ventricles of the brain. The stomach contained the remains of about twelve mussels. Death had resulted by tho exhaustion resulting from the depressing influence of the poison. What that poison wta scientific men had not exactly been able to discover. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the facts. Att AMEnicAN DU»L.—A New York paper says: 4 Jersey has been the scene of another duel. The actors were a young officer of artillery-son of an eminent neval officer-and a lieutenant in the 8th Infantry, a de- tachment of which is at present quartered on Governor's Island. Both gentlemen are familiar to the best society in the metropolis and elsewkere. The cause of the challenge ia understood to have been given in a conver- sation on Governor's Island, when it is said the lieu- tenant referred to uttered a sentiment reflecting on the character of woseen in general, althoug-h no name was mentioned. The artillery officer saw fit to resent the expression on the ground of its being an insult not only to the feminine race, but to his nearest and dearest relatives of that sex. It is hinted also that the ob- noxious speech of the lieutenant was made particularly poignant by reason of a lady in the case '—a Wash- ington lady—who bad, according to rumour, discarded the attentions of the infantry officer to smile upon those of his companion. The challenge given by the latter was promptly responded to, and the meeting occurred upon the Jersey short: as stated. Pistols were the weapons.- Three shots were exchanged without effect. The result of the fourth was more sanguinary. The challenger, struck in the neck by the bullet of his Adversary, fell bleeding and senseless, but reviving within a few momentf, inquired with undaunted pluck whether the time had arrived for another round.' His strength, however, failed to match his courage, and the dael was pronounced at an end. Happily for the parties concerned, we are enabled to say that the sufferer in the affair is rapidly recovering. Tiip DERBYSHIRE MURDER.- The following are additional particulars respecting tho prisoner who has committed thi3 dreadful deed. H13 family had been acquainted with the Goodwins for the past thirty years, and Dr. Goodwin, of Manchester (Captain Goodwin's brother) had been the Townleys' physician for years. At the meeting with the unfortunate young lady, when he committed the act, they walked together until they got to a gate by the roadside, against which they leaned* and Townley then pulled out of his pocket a spring-back p clasp knife, and commenced whittling' it on the top of the gate. He begged of Miss Gordwin to go away with him, but she refused; and he then put his arm round her neck and thrust the knife into her throat. In turning the knife round the end of the blade broke and remained in the wound. He declares that he bad no intention of committing the dreadful act one minute before its execution, and that in a moment after he had accomplished it he was sorry for what he had done. He had three knives in his pocket. The murderer was not in business, but acted as clerk to hie father. Mr Moran, at the prisoner's request, wrote to his parents informing them of what bad taken place, and, his father being at Karrogato for the benefit of his health, the letter was opened by his mother. Townley says that if a million of money had been offered him to break off his engage- ment with Miss Goodwin he would not have accepted it, as he loved herto distraction. He said that for the last three weeks he had been unsettled, owing to receiving a letter from Miss Goodwin breaking off the match. He said that if Mr Moran could save Captain Goodwin'a or his own family a single pang he wished him to do so and for himself he could only count the moments and anxiously wait for that time when his life would be for- feited and he should be re-united with his victim in a better world. Townley had recently contemplated leav- ing England, as he wrote to Miss Goodwin, a few days ago, a letter, in which he siys, 4 It never rains but it pours I have had a strange run of ill-luck lately.' He then goes on to say that he regards Miss Goodwin's conduct in discarding him as the crowning act in this catalogue of misfortunes. He alluded to the wish ex- pressed by his friends that he should go abroad, but desired to see her first. It should be stated that after Townley had assisted in carrying the dead body of his victim to the Hall, he proceeded with Capt. Goodwin. into the drawing-room, where he bad tea with the otptain, and had also soue brandy and water given to him. The captain, being very old and infirm, in the absence of the police adopted this course for his own personal security and that of his domestics. Townley left four sovereigns on the drawing-room table, which Osptftin Goodwia handed to the police. The following is a copy of the letter received by Miss Goodwin from the prisoner, and given up by Captain Goodwin Gelnow Mills, Bolton, Wednesday. My dear Bessie--I will only say here that I will arrive by the train you mention (11.37 a.m., Friday morning), and that I hope, dear Bessie, you will not bother yourself unnecessarily about all this as far as I am concerned. For my own peace of mind I wish to see you, which I hope you won't think selfish. Du reste, I only repeat what I have already said. I have but to hear from you what your wishes are, and they ehall be complied with. You can write to the Midland Hotel,.Derby, where 1 shall stay to-morrow night, or leave a note at the Whatstandwell Bridge for me. Don't let me be the cause of any row between you and your G. P. If you like to call at the Inn I will not stir out till you come, but I leave all this to your judgment. G. V. T. Miss Bessie Goodwin, Wig well Grange, Wirksworth, Derbyshire. The funeral of the deceased took plaoe in the oem. tery, Wirksworth, on Thursday afternoon. Throughout tbo town1 the latest marks of sympathy were shown. towards the afflicted family.
