The War la Itaropp.
The flnt aoooants of the Prussian viotoriee,
were by no mean* exaggerated. Their iae>
eeae wu greater than at tret rrppoood. The
Fran eh hare (alien hack toward* the Fortrea*
of Met*. The Praaaian* advancing, hare captared
large amonnta of war material, provisions,
etc.
The excitement la Paris continues. The
Ministry of Olivier has been voted oat of power
by the Corps Legislative, and a new ministry
organised. It is oonfidently believed that,
if the Emperor doea not gain a victory in a
few days, be will have to abandon bis imperial
power, and that either a Republic will be established
in France, or one of the Orleans
Princes ascend the throne. The Emperor
socms to be retiring from tbe active copnmand
uk ino army, uenorais uazano ana xroenn
are now his chief commanders, Batane being
the first in rank. There Is one dreaded evil
to Franoe that ii bow dissipated famine from
supposed failure of crops. The telegraph of
the Uth August, announces that "French
crops this year exceed the average by forty i
per cent." . \ . r' *
It is reported, and not contradicted, that ^
the Empress Xugenie has sent her jewelry to j
to London for safety; also positively stated t
that her nieces have left Paris, and it is
thought the Empress will depart soon. The f
Emperor has said that he would return to (
Paris " Victorious or dead." ' .
Since the foregoing, we hnve news to the
15th August. A battle haa been fought near "
Mets?the Prussians are again victorious.? '
King William briefly telegraphs the fact to *
the Queen of Prussia Sunday evening, 14th.? '
A telegram from London, Angust 15th, states '
that a second pitched battle is reported as 1
having occurred near Mets this morning, in <
which the Prussians were victorious. The I
citv of Nancy had been abandoned bv the i
French, and was in the poaaeasion of the Prussians.
A few days will witnesa iomo grand
event*.
Conservative Political Meeting at Grove
Station.
From a friend who attended, we learn
that a goodly number of persona met at the
above place, on Monday last, 16lh inat., at'
9| o'clock. The meeting took place in the
Baptist Church, and was called to ordar by
Dr. Donald taking the chair, who explain*
ed the object of the meeting; after which
Capt. Leonard Williams waa introduced,
who briefly stated the platform of the Un
ion Reform Part/, besides other well-timed
remarks; he met with frequent and hearty
applause. Col. S. 8. Ceittkndkh followed,
entering more fully into delaile, exposing
the extravagsnciee and eorruptione of the
party now in power, who waa likewiae
heartily applauded. He directed a part of
hie speech to tho colored persons particularly,
who listeoed with seemingly great ln?
terest; and several were heard to eay after
the speech was over,* that they fully eoncurred
therewith. It ao doubt had a telling
effect upon all. Mr. John B. Htdb, for
merly acting with tho Republican party,
was next introduced. This gentleman aaid he
had not eome befora the people as the gentlemen
preceding liiro, being no candidate,
but to speak in behalf oi the poor, downstrickened
South Carolioian ? further remarking
that he I^ad come forward to join
lands in forming a good and honeat government
for the State. Ho also proceeded
to expose many of the corruptions and bad
laws of th? party in power. Mr. Raksik*,
he said, had instructed the members of the
Legislature to be careful who tbey should
appoint to manage the elections, and to be
sure and bare men who would count favorbly
for the Republican party, for ualeaa
they did, they need not expect to return.
Hr, Li. also made several other good hits
which struck nearer home. During hia
entire speech, loud oheers were repeatedly
given. Mr. Edward F. Stokes, Democratic
candidate for CongreM^ then addressed the
assemblage, giving bis vawa aad explaining
the principles of the Democratic party.
Upon this occasion, tbo Union Reform
cause met with maeh encouragement, gaining
many adherents from the ranks of tbo
eolored men, who expressed themselves
much dissatisfied with the Republican nom,
ination on Saturday last.
Republican Nominations.
The party Convention met at Greenville en
Saturday and made the following nominations :
For the Legiilature?Wilson Cook, (colored,)
W. 15. Jobneon, 1 bog. Brier, (colored,) J. U.
Lender men.
For l'robnt* Judge?J. M. Runion.
For ScKool CommUriemer?W. 11. Mounee.
Fur Conuiy Commiiiionurt?Solomon J oner,
8. II. Pool, Frank A. Williamion, colored.
The meeting at which the foregoing nominations
were made, was organised by calling
J. B. Urn* to the Cbair, and appointing M.
K. Robbrtsow Secretary. It was addressed
briefly by the Hon. D. T. Corbiw on the merits
of the party, and alleged demerits of its
opponents. Tbe first general rote cast for
candidates tor the Legislate re, as we are informed
on good authority, so disgusted some
persons, that the Chairman, with the delegation
of his Township, all retired from the
meeting, being convinced that its result would
bo wholly unsatisfactory, Mr. Hrvs now
avows his determination to take tbe stump
against Wilson Cook, who heads tbe nomitaMors.
He pronounces the nomination gene
rally, a* objectionable, and tbinka it oannot
receive the support of one-half of the Republican
party of the County. Wo learn that there
were fully one dosen colored candidate^
nomination to the Legislature, and asjmpM

Iftmrt. Editor??As rrroosoos bprse
sioos seem to exist to the minds of somo of
oor pcopl* on tho subject of ** the Bridge/
and the action of tb* City Cornellrolatir*
thereto, I request an opportunity of pro.
sentlng some facts la oonnsetion with tb#
question for the information of th# people, I
who ootarai^y M a deep IstSfost fia It -v"
On the eighteenth dsy Of Pebbhrjr, IMP,
th* City OOaaell uaenlmoosly adopted the
following resolution :
14 /itaolved. That the City Council of
Qroenrilto boild tho Brides aoross Beady
River, at the fool of Main Street, aod that
the oomeSiUos now noting in rofrrenoo to
that enterprise, to wit: T. a Bower, Dr. J.
H. Dean and Dr. & & Marshall, do proosod J
to make definite arrangements with Mr. Ah
snndrr lfcDee to secure the right of way
on or about tho line of Pendleton Street?
rhe eeid enterprise ie to be abandoned if
he Bridge cannot be built for five tboueaod
toilers."
As chairman of the committee under thia
eaolution, I consnlted Mr. Alex. T. Lee, an
ircbiteot and enginaer of fine reputation,
rom Columbia, and got him to eome here ,
iod make a eurvey and eetimatee of the
oats. ITis estimate for a double wagon
raek and a foot bridge of ten feet was, for
be wood work, $1200, and on bia ealeula;ion
of the amount of masonry ueeeeaary, a
reliable artificer offered to do it for $2000,
ind the earth work would be in hia calculation
worth from $800 to $1500, depending
on the soulheru termination of the
Bridge. This leaves a margin of $300 on
tha $6000, and in addition the estimate for
the earth work it from $800 to $1600; and
in the above ealcutation I give the highest
estimates. Mr. Lee stated that he would
find a contractor at his estimate for the
wood work ; and Mr. Oliver Smith, who la
a practical stone mason, and has done much
excellent work for Mr. MeBee aad others in
this vicinity, examined the estimate in connection
* ith the premises, aud offsred to
take tha contract at tha estimate?Mr. Alex.
MeBee liberally offering him material ia
tha vicinity without charge.
Tha vast importance of this enterprise to
the business prosperity of our community,
as wail aa an aoceaaion to the comfort of
our people of all olaecea, and as an ornament
to our young city, is not only admit.
ft.J $ A 1 _ a J HH. _ .?
wu out tuny upprwiwi. in? question
which most seriously agitates the public
roiad, is the meaus of aecoaiplishiug this
desirable object without disproportionately
taxing the people, or accumulating a burdensome
debt for future liquidation. Few
great benefits can be enjoyed without some
eaorifice, and we cannot expect to bare this
desirable public work, with ita great conveniences
and advantages, without some
outlay, though there ere gentlemen of
eound judgment who have bad great expc!
rieuce in building, who believe that this
bridge can be completed for very modi lees
than llieec estimates. The building of this
bridge has been contemplated and discussed
since the location of the Greenville end Columbia
Railroad Depot, and tha propriety
of building it at ones, was earnestly die
ouseed at the time of the election of oar lamented
townsman Mr. Beattio, to the Intendency,
though It was felt then that the
necessity was not immediate. Now, things
are much changed. Wi bare a growing
town on each side of tha river, and buajnee#
between them is dally InereaeiDg, and
the personal inedhvenience of the ford, besides
the wear and tear on v*lii?bi and
teams is mora and more seriously fell, and
if the stream mart be forded, a batter ford
must l>e used, to the great injury of boalnsaa
on Main Street, and the depreciation of
real estate in the whole of the original por.
tion of the town. We all, too, bare reason
to hope that the time for locating the Depot
of tbe Atlanta And Richmond Railroad
is aot far distant, and it ie elear to erery
thinking mind that tbe communication between
the two depot* must be eaey and direct,
both for the transportation of paeaengers
and freight; end the want of sueh eomma
niention may necessitate the location of this
depot si so entirely nway from the original
part of tbe town, and the opening of other
streets for trarel, and the erection of other
house* for busincaa. The expense of building
tbe bridge, and the means of raising
the money for the purpoee, are not to be ignored.
The present City Conocil has wisely
limited the expenee, including the entire
outlay, to $5000?it may well be brought
considerably within thia limit. The money,
too, cannot be raised by a direct tax, and
the City hae made a considerable subscription
to the Atlanta and Richmond Railroad,
which is to be met by the aale of bonda of
the City, *s authorised by its ehsrter. It
may be difficult to absorb all these bonds,
and if this should appear to be tbe ease, it
would be extremely unwise to pat them on
the market. This would be a question of
judgment whin the bonds sr? offered ; sod
though many of ths enterprising cilixena
who desire to aid in the permanent improve,
ment of the City, and to advance its pros
perity, are hopeful that its bonds will be
in demand and readily negotiable; yet It
should be provided that the bonds shonid
not be sold for leer sum than seventy-Ave
per cent.?the minimum fixed for the County
bonds.
The question for consideration is not
wAfthsr the bridge should be bnilt regardIjBftof
coat, bat whether we shall have list
Hn ease It ean be bnilt at a reasonable
R*, and the bonds lor the purpose ean be
jadi< i?usly negotiated.

This is aa exquisite specimen af portrait
ar? ; and to beauty of eoloriog and finished
execution, it defies eompetit'oo. A cor
rect likeness?it is yet more than this; for
it teems to braatbc with life. The dreamy
eyes, io their pensive tlioughlfuloeM; the
delicate, rote tinged lips; the fresh complexion
of blushing youth; the brown
tresses that fall In graceful waves over the
pare dress?an imitation of" woman's glory
" that I have never seen equaled ; ailso
vividly portray the original, that the ab |
sent one tetms " home again." In the ar*
rangemsot of the eostnme?beautiful In ila
simplicity?the artist's taste is faultless.?
The rich crimson mantle, as it hengs from
the shoulder in careless grace, contrasts
beautifully wlllt the snowy dress; and no
ornament could be more sweetly attractive
than ths white bud that reposes upon the
slshder throat.

: and 100 ol oorn, and another 100 aerea of cot

about the efficacy of commercial manures, .
would request them, for curiosity?if for n<
higher purpose?to visit theso places, eoe ant
be oonvlnoed. In some places several row
have been left in the field, receiving the sam<
cultivation, bnt no manure, and the offcot ii
most convincing; the cotton is siokiy ant
imall. with About tvnvtKSrtls 1am KaIU anr
forms. Many farmers, decidedly opposed ti
alt commercial manures, bare visited then
places, and have determined to experiment, 1
It'Is only with one bag.
One Acid deserves particular attention.?
About 60 acres, of old-fleld, worn-out land;
so-called, was taken up this yretir, And witl
| 200 pounds of commercial manure and good
cultivation, the cotton on wbioh Is now from
waist to head high ooverod with forms and
shapes. Both of these gentlemen wboso
places I visited, used Wando, Merryman's Distolred
Bones, Bough's Raw Bono Phosphate
and Ycgetator. 01 (he three latter, only a
small quantity; of tho others, about 20 tons
each. They have all proven that they are
Arat-class fertilisers.
The first crop visited was Mr. William
Ooldsaslth,' wbieb ts remsrkahly fine; dhe
plants (cotton) being fruited from the ground
up. His s?od were the Boyd's and Dickson ;
the land well prepared, using about 209 pounds
commercial manure, of whieh be says bo cafi
do nothing without. I think I have said
enough about cotton, and a* we will boar mom
of it in about a month, ^ will wake short
mention of Mr. 4/a com crop, feeling, o'
course, more interest In It.
I ; '3V I? JV?- ' '
Taken aa a crop, It aurpaaaea anything 1
hare overseen. I rode over 100 acres, and
could not touch tho top with my outstretched
hand. Moat of the stalks have two or thre<
full ears on thrm. .On a portion of tkis, th<
Wando was used, showing lis adaptation t<
the corn crop. Should the seaaons contlnu
favorable, be will mako an excellent crop o
both corn and ootton. It would be well for tout
of onr planters to take a lesson just here
Friend Q. always plants largely of cottoo
but never is known to forget tbe corn. Ill
crop this year (to use an old English phrase
being 'alf an' 'ulf. His wheat crop, fertilize
With the Wando, averaged a good deal abov
the previous jeer, the remarks in the Sparta
to the contrary notwithstanding. After visltin
the farm, I returned to the house and refresh?
myself with some of friend U.'s fine watci
melons, the cultivation of which is thorough
ly understood by him, and did not object to
supply of fruit.
About dusk, I wended my way to Mr. Ge<
Lester's, of Lester A Bros., Buona Vista. Tt
Factory of these gentlemen, situated on tl
Eooree, being one of the best water powers i
the up-country its arrangements and managt
ment interested me much, and I availed mj
self of the opportunity offored, to find oat
thing or too, perhaps more. This Factory
one of our bust, so well managed, and hi
established a reputation for superior yarn
which finds ready sale in Nor thcrn i
as well as Southern markets. At this plao<
and owned by tho above firm, is a fine flom
ing mill, under the supervision of Mr. Ilayne
who has established a name and well merite
reputation for Lester's Extra Family Flou
by the great pains and care token in the grim'
ing, also in selecting his wheat. lie bos lab
ly, or within a year, pnt up a remarkably fit
building for a Oin House, (good enough for
dwelling for our City.) In this building, o
visiting it, I found one of the oelebrated Ou
lett Cotton Gins. Tho ootton cloanod b
this gin, always commands a bettor price an
readier side in the markets when ootton is clai
sifled. The lint room is large and we
adapted far its purpose. Up stairs are stal
or bins erected and numbered, and persoi
brinaina seed cotton, deposit without fear <
I mixing with their neighbor*. The totU
pram, of Immanse power, U a very lino 01
r Indeed. He hM lately ordered a Oris wo
. Qin and Condenser, all uf which will mater
ally help him in his endeavor to accommoda
himself to tbo necessities of the publie. II
iuformed me that ho will gin for one-tweatlel
' instead of the old obarge of one-tenth. Th
is a move in the right direction. Our farms
will be glad to hear this, and will bring hi
cotton from some distaooe. All of his mi
cbinery is ran by water power.
His arrangements for putting away b
farming implements Is a<h^rable and wortl
of imitation. Bach part ^Waving the key I
bis eloeet in wbieh bis tools are deposited, i
one is supposed to have access to them bi
