THE ADVERTISER. Edge ile kl, S. C., Sept. 30, 1875. ?I A?JE S T. BACON J _" TUG:*. J. ADAMS, ? EDITORS. Thc Tort Moultrie Centennial. Next year will bo thc grandest and most interesting your in the history oi our country-the Centennial Year. The first great Centennial Anniversary ot* the year will take place in our own State in Charleston-in commemoration of the battle of Fort "Moultrie-so full of proud deeds and traditions for South Carolini ans. "Tho Palmetto Guard," of Charles; ton, have issued an Address inviting all, "North and South, East and West, to join with it on the 28th of June 1876", in cele brating tho battlo ot" Fort Moultrie, which is really South Carolina's Centennial. This Address we publish on our first page and hope all our readers yill pay it the respect it deserves. - i i ?mi i i - The Broken Bankers. Alargo majority of the creditors of John J. Cohen & Sons, of Augusta, have accepted a compromise of their claims, tendered by the linn, on the basis o'' thirty cents on the dollar. Tho liabili ties of the broken bank aro stated, in round numbers, at $200,000 of which all but $80,000 was secured by collaterals. At the time of the crash the bank owed the city of Augusta $IS,000. The city government accepts the thirty cents com promise. Inconsistency. Last winter and spring, says the An derson Intelligencer, when a band of murderers and robbers infested the up per portion of our State, justly causing a terror to pervade the counties of Spar tanburg, Laurens, Union and Greenville, on account of their bold and wicked dep redations, Governor Chamberlain was asked to oiler a reward for the arrest of the gang, and replied that it would give him much pleasure to do so, but he had no resources at his command from which to pay tho reward. So the people of thest counties had to ferret out and bring this gang of villains to justice without any assistance from the Governor. But as soon as tho shooting ol* Joseph Crews was communicated to his Excellency, although thc State had just lost by the failure of Solomon's bank over two hun dred thousand dollars, this Governor who pretends to be the representative ol the whole people hadsuddculy sufficient resources at his command to offer a re ward of one thousand dollars for the ap prehension of the assassins, and seeks, by his proclamation itself, which is an offi ciai paper, to make it appear to be an act calculated to spread disorder throughout tho State, when he knew at the time he .issued tho proclamation that there was not even any disorder in Laurens, the locality of the shooting itself. This miserable effort of the Governor, who pretends to wish to do justice to all parties, to work up a feeling of indigna? tion abroad against our people by charg ing there is danger o? wide spread law lessness in our midst, is in tho highest dogreo contemptible, and calls for the most unqualified condemnation at the hands of every intelligent and iuipartitl citizen- Why the life of Joseph Crews is worth any more to thc State (.han an other citizen is more than wo tan per ceive. Wc do not propose to criticise thc life of Mr. Crow?, who Ls dead, bul we cannot refrain expressing our un qualified disapproval of Goveruor Chain berlain's inconsistent conduct, and un calle?-for slander upon our peoplo in the act to which we have referred. ?Sf~ The new Alabama Constitution will be one of the best in the Southern States. All of the innumerable school officers, heretofore getting a years' pay, while tho schools could only be kept up for a few months, are abolished, and tho work thrown upon other officers. The circuit court Districts aro cut down from twelve to eight; salaries reduced all around, and Legislators pay cut down from $6 to $4, and only $1 after thirty days. No personal or local legislation. No Slate aiil Mileage cut down from forty to ten cents, and so on to the end Let tho people adopt tins constitution, and through tho honest Democratic ad ministration, Alabama will yet be otu o?*the foremost of the Southern States. j2="*r*The XLIVth Congress, coinmrnc ing March 4th, 187.3, and ending March 4th, 1S77, will commence its first regular session on thc first Monday of December All of thc States havo chosen their rep resentatives except Mississippi, where the election is to be held November 2d. A Veiw Young Lady's Letter from New York. WEST 23rd Sr., NEW YORK. September 17th, 1873 DEAR MR. B.-My promised letter about the fashions, anti the theatre, and the opera, will have to turn out a very short one and a very confused one Likt < verybody-that is all travelers-in the whirl of this great city, I have put of! the undertaking until tho last moment and now I'sckrcely know how to begin -what 11 say or how to saj- it. Howev er as I must leavo all these beautiful scenes for school again in a lew days, this is about my last chance. As regards the fashions, you know I never did care much about tho finery But the " tie-back," at all events, is still all the vogue. In truth wo "ridgefield neo pie have never yet seen it in all its tight ' ness and narrowness. And the fashibna b.M laoies here who get news Inuit Parit by every steamer, tell me that this win ter thc skirts are to be still narrower and a great deal longer, and to stick out great deal more right behind. In fael many tall ladies I meet in tho street hore, with thc dresses scarcely two yard wide, covering tho feet in front, anti sweeping out into a long narrow tail lie hind, put me in mind of crocodiles walk ing erect. Although I don't pretend to say but that the fashion is a graceful ami elegant one. And the waists of dresses are just as long and narrow ax the skirls -so long-and so high in the throat, al most up toone's eats. And really this is :?bout all I know. I seo on all dresses the same knife-pleating that wo have seen for a year pact. Dresses of plaid stuffs are extremely fashionable-plaid and solid color cont inued. Underskirt and sleeves ofsoli? eolor, and overskirt, and basque, and l*>ws, and fiouuees, and sashes, of plaid ~v?r. C-m., to whom I am indebted for seeing many wonders I might not other wise have seen, took ino a day or two ago to see Clari in's great wholesale store, iliad scarcely ever been down town be fore, and I assure you I was almost fright ened. La! I never dreamed there was such a big place in tho world as Clallin's -nor one so high, nor one so deep. And certainly I never dreamed that there were as many dry go^ds in the uholc world as there are in this one place. At Clallin's I helped Mr. C-m. to pick out some of the pretty plaids and solid col ors that are so? fashionable, for his store in Edgetield-and a groat many other pretty things-sea Ss, and sashes, and shawls, ?Sc. Bonnets do not strike inc as being very different from last winter's, oniy that they havo feathers that stick up a yard, and flowers that fall down two yards.' Flowers, flowers, flowers! Flat and skimpy heads are still the fashion. And if you wear a hat, you must lilt it for --w;ord, but if you wear a bonnet, you. stick it as far back as possiblo. Miss R says I need not write about stockings and slippers-that yo'i can do that better than I can- And sho tells me also that I ought to uso Homo Fronch phrases il I want to write an elegant letter. I have tried to study up some, but I can not recall one. When I go back to Ra leigh, I must get some by heart. I know you would iiko more than anvthing else to tyear about the ?iugers, and players, and tho opera. But it is too early in tho season for them. They have not come from Europe. Made moiselle Tieijens, tho gi eat ?algor, is to arriv? next wqek. Tile ino^uiva of hot in alt the shop "window-* tnake her look old and Ui^-/*Shft.isji dorman, but sing* entirely i" ?-'-? * * liSa* styio. She is to make ?er 'Hctftitl bli* the 4th October in yieinwa-y Hall. 1 would so much rather-j stay hare una hear her than go back to school. And Haus Von Bulow, tho great pianist, is to follow ker shortly. And Wachtel, tho famous German tenor sing er, is to como next. These three are to be the great musical lions this fall. The only music I have heard is that of Gilmore's Baud-at Gilmore's garden, whither Mr. C-in. conducted me on Sat urday evening last. It is decidedly the most lovely place I over dreamed ot It is a large and enchanting garden under a roo!', lit with gas, and titted out with everything that could possibly add to its beauty or its splendor. There are a hundred performers iu tho band ; and then Levy, the renowned cornet player, plays by himself-and it is almost heav enly. And you can promenade all round among the walks aud Howers, and hoar thc music, and see the players all tue time, or you con sit down and bc at rest. And a famous Italian barytone singer, named Tag?apictra, saug ''Noue Vcr" that I liad heard Mr. C-m. sing al hume -and really I did not seo that he sang it any great'deal bettor-although I did not tell Mr. C-tri. so. I have been two OT three times with Miss R. to tho thea tie, but really I ami too tired now to tell you about it. Only this, when Ray mond comos South this winter, acting " Col. Sellers," be sure to go and hear him. This is something worth taking a trip for-especially for ono who loves to laugh. To-morrow I will have to begin to pack up my things, and soon I will be back at St. Mary's, running what Miss H. calls u those gamuts." I would a great deal rather be going home. Yes, indeed I would. I hope you have seen Julius, and Henry, and Uncle Harper, ami Ma mie, and Dixie, and that they are well. And rio-v good bye until-not lunger than Christmas I hope. D. GRANITEVILLE ITEMS. Out of a private letter from our friend? Mr. C. K. Henderson, of Granitevillo, we pick the following items of general inter est : Business has commenced in Granite ville in good earnest, and about 75 bales of cotton are brought in daily. The Gran ite ville Company is buying all that c mies, giving full market prices. Says Mr. H. " You would be surprised to see from what a distance and from how many different sections cotton is hauled to this place. For instance, from Beech Island : from all around and below Aiken; from Barnwell. Orangeburg and Lexington Count i*3 ; from Saluda River; from Sliatlcrfield ; from Mountain Creek; from Horn's Creek; from Curryton; and even from near Edge (Md C. FT" From.these places it. conies on waeons, while from Pine House, John ston. Ridge Spring, Batesburg, Leesville and Summit, *vo get it by railroad. A considerable quantity of oats has been orought here this full for sale-the first time-snell a thing has ever happened. I have bought all that was offered rae. The other merchants have Jone likewise. As regards cotton, to my certain knowledge a man can do better selling it here than anywhere else. This I have learned from experience." The oldest inhabitant, Dawson Jordan, aged some 85 or 90 years, died on the 15th instant. JOHNSTON ITEMS. A friend sends us the following items from Johnston : Mr. E. A. Mims has introduced at "his Steam Gin the Cotton Feeder, which saves the work of one hand-tho greatest invention out. Merchants busy receiving goods for the Fall trade, and collecting those ever lasting Liens. Male and Female Academy in opera ?on under tho supervision of W. C. Lalimer. Law and politics ata low ebb-Trial Jus tices lying on their oars, and like Wil kins Micawbor waiting for something to turn up. Trains pass daily loaded with Cotton lor Northern and European Markets "straws show the way tho wind blows." II. T. Wright has purchased Store House lately occupied by Walter Scott Mr. P. S. Wright now holds forth there. A few nights since a " Tramp" entered tiio house of J. F. Mobley, just before day and heloed himself to'the Overcoats of'Messrs. Latimer and Whit Mobley. No tidings of thc thief. The people of Johnston have learned a lesson ot economy, since hearing that tho Advertiser Press use Molasses to lu bricate the rollers, and tcert sell the waste to Thos. P. Carrol acting Sherill' to feed the prisoners in Edgelield Jail. Matrimony like Law, Politics and Trial Justi.ces, at a discount. Mr. E. Keese, business manager of the Advertiser was in town last week, purchasing his winter supplies, because ne found everything cheaper than else where. Another example o( economy. Stealing of Cotton from tho liold? at merlu commenced by "honest'' colored citizens. Guard House stands "grand, gloomy and superior." A warning to ali trans gressors. Capt. Jones, prince of rotten buyers, is determined to take tho "tide that leads to fortune," judging from thc way he buys cotton. For thc Advertiser. EDUKFIKLD S. C., Sept. 21, 1S">. Editors Edgefield Advertiser : In the last issue of your paper, I notice a long editorial on "Straw Bonds and Forge ries." It would not have attracted my attention at all, had you not made such .in unfair charge indirectly against my self, that is, in regard to Paris Simkius name appearing on my bond as County Treasurer-charging some one with for gery. Sirs, there is no one whom it could so interest to commit tho forgery as my self; and I assure you and the public that tt would bc of no interest to me to have Mr. Simkius sign my bond; for the reason that ho refused to qualify to anj amount when asked to do so, and thcro- | fore could not have been of any servite to me as a bondsman. I will state that Paris Simkius did not si?n my bond, neither was his name signed there by any one else: The charge then of forgery is false. The original bond tiled in the Secretary of ] States Otlico will prove what I say to be so. There may have been a clerical mis take. An inspection of thc original bond will satisfy the Editors of the Edgefield Advertiser, I would suggest Messrs. Editors, that an examination into the bonds of some of the ex-orticials some eight years ago, if not resulting in any benefit to the people, would at least be quite apropos, and would give the people some information which they have never had. * Very respectfully, JOHN H. MCDEVITT. THE REV [VA LISTS.-The Springfield Republican describes the work of Messrs. Moody and Sankey at Northfield, where '.hey have begun their revivals, as alto netncr interesting. Thus far they have only held evening prayer meetings, save yesterday, when three grove meetings ..vere held. The Northfield people are said to be indulging in good-natured re marks over the fine health of the revival ists, ami especially the growing corpulency of Mr. Moody. He fats with his work, and is not the slight Mr. Moody they used to know. The curious tMng about the local interest in these men is that North field is a Unitarian stronghold, Moody'? family are all Unitarians, he was educated in this belief, and yet he comes back and they all go over to the little Orthodox church to enjoy his revival ways. Thc secret of Moody's success is .said to be his simplicity. He tells what he knowr, and he oays " it is all the love of Jesus." He talks ungrammatically, and thus hits thc many ; but while ho is emnhatically common, and full of every-day phrases, th rc is nothing slangy or trifling or out of taste about him. Sankey, too, like his associate, is untutored, perhaps, but nat ural. He sings what he feels, or because he feels. He seems to be a heavier man, with light gray Burnside whiskers, firm, square face, and is, as he has himself said, " a rad hot Christian." Messrs. Whittle and Bliss, the other Chicago revivalists, arc of a different order. rCdI. Whittle isa slightly built, dark.haired and well-inform-, ed man, who uses elegant, expressive Eu ??i?h1n ? clear*'and'c?nVihciVig ta?y. 'Mr. 4h?s i&* a jicf?p,)jicJi*.ci}l;<uoaJ bass vi^ce, wuicrfgives almost a new interpretation' to the words he sings. Tue four men, with characteristically different methods, 1 ought to meet ali the vtuieas moo.is ol t their audiences.

Trees, fences, Ac , were prostrated, and consid erable damage done the corn and cottou crop-s. A fodder stack was torn to pieces on Mr. Odom's place, and not a blade re mained to be seen, bein*: carried a hun dred yj.rds or more distant; and wo learn that acre of corn were carried oil', shucked b}' the wind, and a portion of it ~Ucliod ready* for. milling purposes. A house on Landy Walker's place was lev elled to the ground, and his dwelling alone remains. So severe was the storm that some yeing men were lound cling ing to saplings to escape being blown away, and one gentleman, we heard of. was carried at least fifty yards and thrown on his fence by the wind." - Superintendent J. K. JiUson has opened a correspondence with the agent of the Peabody fund in the United States with a view to securing some of its bene fits for the public schools located in the various counties of this State. The fund h> "stributod with ;ho greatest care, and its bequests arc always directly propor tioned to the amount contributed in any given locality for educational pur poses, tho precaution having been lound necessary to prevent its waste and misapplication. Owing to some mis management, South Carolina bas up to ibis lime derived little or no benefit from the generous gift of the lamented l'ea body, while Georgia and many other states have secured" their full respective quotas. Injustice Done the Master ol'the Na tk>nal Grange. Great injustice is being done thc Mas ter of tho National Grange by certvin pa pers that permit tbe publication in their columns of letters bearing insinuations that he has " gone over lo the railroad interests," or that " he gets a large salary from hi3 position as railroad president." The facts in the case are easily obtained, and, were the editors of such papers as willing to record them a l! to assent to misrepresent would not be misled. ? r \ farm near Waukon, Io miles from any railroad . and, with commendable chi spirit, he, with a humber bois, conceived the idea themselves with thc other Iii portalion.

C., Sept. 23.--A suit has been entered by \\*. E. Karie, Esq., editor of the Republican against Messrs. John C. and Edward Bailey, proprietors of the JEiUerprise and Mountaineer lot itu thousand (10,000) dollars damages, for libel, in put lishing an article defamatory to his character. This is the matter re sulting from the caning of J. M. Runion, the supposed editor of the Republican, some tune since, by Col. S. S. Crittenden, editorof the Enterprise and Mountaineer. As yet no papers have been served on Col. Crittenden. SOMETHING LIKE SARCASM ABOUT THIS.-The New York. World does the poor Vice President v?ry sharply in thc following paragraph : " Vice-Pr?sident Wilson cultivates the arts of popularity as constantly as Cin cinnatus cultivated cabbages, and we can hardly say that we aro surprised to learn that he recently took the high moral ground of paying his fare in a Brooklyn horse car. r?e had, in fact, paid it be fore his identity was discovered bv the conductor, who immediately came and cn gaged the distinguished but tedious stale. man in the toils of an amicable speech, striving to persuade him to take back the five cents. But it was unavailing. He always paid his fare, he said, and was op posed to dead-heading. And with this slur on the Administration and the con scionsaess of five cents' worth of rectitude under his waistcoat he disappears in the midst of the local chronicler and fade? over the horizon of Bav Ridge." A MONSTER OF THE DEEP.-A monster devil fish was caught under the New York steamship wharf on Monday afternoon He in some way got under, but was una ble to find his way out from among Ihe pilinT. Some men at work upo:: the wharf heard th? splashing which lie made and tired Bever&l shots at him, but as they seemed lo have no effect, a harpoon was obtained and his capture effected, fif teen men being required lo tow him to tho shore. The blood which escaped from him colored the waler for about ten feet on either side. He was sixteen feet in width and fifteen in length. H?3 fins were about four feet long, and his tail about the sarnu length and not much larger than a person's finger. His mouth opened to the width of two feet and was eighteen inches in length, and projecting from each side of it was a feeler about one foot wide and two feet long, which Lc rolled up and unrolled at will. So tar as can be ascertained, there has been only one of those singular fish caught in this region before this one. P. evious to the war one larger than this one was captured near Centro street wharf.-Fer nandina {Fla.)
