Thc Fatal Shooting Allray at Fayette ville, North Carolina. The Town of Fayetteville N. C., was the scene of much excitement on Friday last, ?-rowingout of a shooting affray ut the Fa yetteville Hotel between Mr. It. W. Stead man and Dr. W. H. Morrow, which resulted in thu death of both parties Politics was .he cause.oi the difficulty, Mr. Steadman be ing a warm Democrat., and. Dr. Morrow, though formerly a Surgeon in the Confede rate army, a unlive North Carolina Radical -one who. bad "taken the test oalb, and who held the position of a United States Deputy Marshal. The.tacts of the affair are these : .Both Mr. Steadman and Dr-Morrow were at Jut e-hor<>! on Fr.day to bear jhe discus sion bet.w>*>n Cols. McKoy and Vockery, the Dein-eratic ai.d Radical candidates for Con gress Irom this district. While returning on the cars to Fayetteville, they becunV entrap ed in ?ui altercation, during which Dr. Mor row either drew, or threatened to draw, a pis, toi. Mr. Steadman was unarmed, and re marked the fact at thc time. Nothing mote then came of lae affair until after their, arri val in Fayetteville. Mr. Steadman, it seems, armed himself with a pistol, and after pro ceodiiie quietly up the street until b . arrived at the Fayetteville Hotel, he tbere chanced to meet Dr. M- rrow who, immediately, on Mr. Steadinin's approach, drew bis pistol. Mr. S. theu in turn drew bis weapon, and while Dr. M. was still m the act of aiming, fired, the ball entering the body of his anta gonist just below the heart. Dr. M. then f di to H e floor, but raised himself np to fires. Three shots each were exchanged the second shu: fired by Mr. S. taki'ig effect in Lis anta gonist's right side, and thc third missing bini altogether. The first two shots fired by Dr. M. missed the ohject entirely-the third, however, passed through the tight lung ol Mr. S., who, after receiving this wound, turn ed upon his heei and walked elf several puces, when he staggered and would have fallen, but was caught by some one stavding near. He was I hen take? in the Hotel and died in about fifteen minutes. Dr. Morrow lived until the following morning, when he also died. The affair of course could not. transpire without excitement. A leading Radical ne gro in the crowd, named Jim Bowman, was heard to remark that this was " but Ihe be idnnii g of what, was toc?me."

Sceues like these will continue a? long as the present politioal coudition of the South continues. Order nnd security cannot be restored uutil the whites aro completely iu authority. We have said above that suoh an affair as this at Camilla ought to donn Radicalism forever. But, on I be contrary, it will bo sai ted upon by Radiant leaders for electioneering purpose*. They will ondeavnr, knaves a? they are, to take advan tage of the consequences of their own wrong by blaming the Southern whites, and embittering the Northern mind toward? them.

We are now in the quarter stretch of the great raco for the Presidency. And now is the time for us to work hardor than evor before. On the first pago of this week'-s Advertiser may be found a 6cnsiblo and timely communication, ?igned " W," setting forth th? importance of tho Democrats g:iiuing and exhibiting ?s much power and influ ence as possible in the coming election, even though they should not be able to enrry the State. Tho great importance of all voters being prop erly informed coocerning thc issues involved in the present canvas, can scarcely bo over-estimated. Tho rct-ult of their action at thc p-dls cannot but have great influence upon the welfare of futuro generations; for nover have such vast and lasting consequences beon involved in tho result of any oloction held in America. The plain question is presented to tho people between the government administered confessedly without regard to the Constitution, by the un limited despotism cf a sectional parly of Radi cals, as exemplified tn their rule for ?bc past eight yours, and the Democratic modo of administra tion in strict obedience to the supremo law, ns it was dealt out from the organization of the Gov ernment to the accession of tho Radicals tn power in 1861. Disguise tho matter ?ts demagogue? may, this is tho real issue. Those who think the absolute will of a military dictator bettor for the government of tho peoplo than the writton Constitution of our fathers should mauifost theirsentimonts by voting for tho Radi cal candidates. All ?Huers should voto for SEY MOUR k BLAIR ; uot only on account nf their clear personal records, but because they have pledged themselves to the principles of constitutional lib erty, as .avowed in the Dutnocratio platform. But some, porhaps.-unwilling to take the trou ble to investigate the real difference between thc parties, may conclude there is as much corruption in the one us in the other ; and mny determine, therefore, not to voto at all. However excusable this cause may.be when adopted Dy the unthink ing meu of the Kurth, it cannot be justified on tho pica of ignorance, in this soction, where the effect!.of Radicalism have bcon so severely felt by all cloates of our people. It is only by their votc-j that the people ure able tn approve or dis approve tho action of tho party in power. Hence, there will be a very culpable neglect of duty on tho part of such as fail to vote at such a time a.* the present. In there remarks we have reference moro especially, of course, to the white voters. But inasmuch as the whilo people of tho State cannot bo opprossed without the same oppression falling in a very sorious degroo upon the impov erished froedmeu, the latter should be carefully and kindly instructed that their real interest is. in common with their late masters, who aro now, a-> thoy always have been, the only real friends they havo. Looking to the NorfB and the North-West our hearts are cheered by tho manifestations there that tho masses arc thoroughly aroused to enthu siasm in support of constitutional luw and order. Whenever and w hero vor ( we speak not of.the North-. East) they have had a chanco, they have put down the violent mou who have brought the country to the vcrgo of ruin, aud whose party is bent on con summating that overthrow of the Republic which thoy havo so nearly accomplished. In tho com ing contest, the sentiment of the people, already shown, inspires such hopes of success tba: we do not fear defeat, unloss those who have tho leader ship shall unwisely and wickedly throw away the victory already in thoir grasp. Io?nll this cheer ing prospect tho Southern people feol an elevated sense of satisfaction, and look forward with ear nest longings to results by which they eau only, after all, bo profited in a nogutivo -ouse ; for they aspire to none of the honors and emoluments of the victory. To use a homely phrase, thoy have no " axe to grind," and will be abundantly sat isfied to bo rescued from the banda of their op pressors, never usklug to ride upon tho beast of the good Samaritan, as did the mau who journey ed from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieve!. ? m''sY '\ ' '' Agricultural Clubs. Two weeks ago, wo mentioned the organisation of an Agricultural Club or Society at Mt. Willing. What an admirable idea it would be to organize Agricultural Clubs throughout our District, and then tnako them all adjunctive to a grand Dis trict Society. What fs there to prevent such an idea from being carried out? A Club, suchas we suggest, is iu existence in Beech lslund ; and h ?is been for years. And we have no doubt the pooplo of that section havo derived untold pleas ure, edification un J profit trom this source.

EDITOR .--In the last 'niuo of ibo Ailee titer you introduced your well-deserved compli mentary notice of ".Mr. Bcrckmans' fa rm near Augusta," with the following general remarks : " Progress and improvement in fruits, .flowers and the common vegetables of the kitchen garden aro, how-a days, quite a? marked and rapid os in any other material development. But ?cc of the ??i,nth, ai a general tbiug, du not koep puce with this progress nod improvement" Ac. It is not my purpose to cha'lenge the truth of those remarks. But, pormit mc to ask, Do the people of the North, "as a general thing" "keep puce with this progress and improvement?" Tho expression 1 have emphasised-no doubt used inadvertently-implies that they do. On the contrary, I assert that they do not-no more at least than do " we of the South." It is tho habit of our dearly beloved aud very loving brethren of the North, especially of that section which revolves around " the hub of the universe," to .irr?gate to themselves a xuperionty over us of South, not only in " material development," but also in educational and moral "progress and im provement." But this superiority has its origin in n constitutional superciliousness, and has no i foundation on facts. It is simply presumptuous arrogance characteristic of thc Puritan round head tho world over. I regret to add that too many in the South, through inadvertence or igno rance, concede tho assumption. For one I deny that it is truo in thu genoral and in the particular -in tho wholo and all its parts; and in support of tho denial confidently appeal to facts. Even in the department of horticulture, em bracing tho cultivation of fruits as well as vege tables, the South is no laggard in tho march of " progress and improvement" Georgia can point with a just pride to Camuk, Peabody, Vjn Buren Bcrckmans, Redmond and others. South Caro lina can boast of Ilerhemont, Hammond, Sum mer, McDonald, Candue, Havenol, Wyllie, Pur vis and many others of equal desert, though per haps less known to fame. W?at two States of the boastful North can show a greater array of intelligent and successful horticulturists? The results of tho labors of these representativo men aro .?eon in thc improvement of a groat variety of fruits.Jand in the valuable additions of new varie ties li the long catalogue ; such, fur instance, as tho llerbomont, Scuppornong, Catawba, Paulino and other spccioi of gropes, to say nothing of other kinds of fruits. The results of their labors aro ?till further seen in the exportation, each year, of thousands of boxes and crates of fruits and vegetables to tho land of "steady habits and great moral idens." Another fact attests our " progress and improvement" in this- branch of "material development." Those desiring to es tablish orchards do not now import from the North, but find aa abundant supply in the nur series of the South. Where, then, is the much vaunted superiority of thc North even in the speciality of fruits and vegetables ? But it is to agriculture that wo are to look for evidence of the " progress and improvement" o: the South. I do not hesitate to say that, in this department t?f "material development," wo have surpassed the civilized world. Our achievements in this regard are moro wonderful than the fa bled wonders of Aladdin's lamp. But more of this anon. BOB SHOET. For tho Advertiser. To thc Democratic Clubs of Edgeiield. MR. EDITOR-Permit me, through the medium of tho Advertiier, to make a proposition to each and every Democratic Club in tho District, which will, in my opinion, be conducive to the welfare of the country. As the present crisis of the country demanded tho formation of Political Clubs all over the Dis trict, and as the people havo nobly responded to this demand, and Democratic Clubs are formed almost in every neighborhood ; and as, wo trust, these Clubs will be vigilant, active and untiring in the discharge of their duties until the Presi dential Election,-I propose that these clubs re solve-not to disbaud,-but even now, to form thotnsolves Into Agricultural Clubs for the promo tion of all the various branches of industrial pursuits. I think tho good of tbe country will be pro moted thus, and the cause of agriculture, which is the foundation of national prosperity, will ro c?e vc an impetus that will eventually promote the prosperity and happiness of the people. lu these Agricultural Clubs, the questions of labor, wages, manures, home made and commercial, improved implement? and machinery, may bc discussed. In those Club? The Southern Omit tea tor, tho best agricultural paper in the Union, can be obtained at a very low price. Fertilisers and implements m iv be bought through an Agent of their own .ap pointment, and thousands of dollars thus saved to evary neighborhood. If these Agricultural Clubsure formed in every neighborhood, a District Society will' thc. bea rocessity, and'will sucvoed beyond a doubt-and thus also :r Grand State Society will be formed-, and our now oppressed and disheartened far mers will bo encouraged, and the whole country will bo caused to glow with a hopeful prosperity.

The firing was rapid and thc c mbatants became envel oped in tue smoke of. their weapons,, which lapped together on. the last round.

Wil liams was unhurt, but his horse was shot in he head, and was fractious and unruly dur ing the fight.
