It appears that a -young lady named Crosse, aged about twenty years, the daughter of a clergyman, formed au attachment to .her father's groom-a lad two years her junior, named George Smith. George had b^en in the family for about two years, during which time he used to accompany the young lady during her equestrian exercises. In this way, an intimacy sprung up be? tween them, which tho father finally became aware of, and thereupon de? termined to discharge George at once. The young lady heard of her father's intention, and on the day the boy was to leave, she managed to see him, and told him to come to her windowat night* as she wanted to escape with him. The groom advised her not to , pursue this course, but she persisted, and accordingly the reluctant youth went to the window at the time in dicated, when the young lady dropped j from her bower into the arms of the j object of her passion. The next ques tibn was, how to get married? The 1 lady had a considerable sum of money in her .possession, which she placed in the hands of her lover, and tho !>airsiaried off they knew not whither. They, however, made tracks for Wandsworth, whore they hired apart? ments, and the next day appeared before a magistrate for the purpose of being matrimonially united. The magistrate refused to marry them on the ground that the lady was under age. The couple, therefore, returned dis? consolate to their apartments, and lived together for two days, when the police, who had been notified by the father to hunt up ?he runaways, came upon them and arrested the groom on a charge of fraudulently inducing the" young lady to leave her home, know? ing that she had money in her poss?i sion belonging to Mr Crosse. The case afterwards came tip for exami? nation, before a police magistrate, where the facts were made apparent. Upon being asked if the groom had induced her to quit her home, or made the first advance to that end, the damsel said "No, I think we were about equal." It being plainly proved that she was a consenting party, the young man was acquitted of the charge of fraudulently enticing her from her home. In regard to the money, he had left it untouched, arid offered to return it to the father. Ac? cording to the evidence of the young lady, the chivalrous groom had con? ducted himself with the utmost honor and restraint, and it was officially an? nounced that the young lady ".return? ed to her home as intact .as on the day she leftiu" "All'swell that cn^s well." The reverend gentleman find? ing his daughter really attached to tho young mau, and determined to marry him, gave Tiis' consent, and on thc 14th inst., the happy pair were united Ii and the blushing bride taken to her husband's home in triumph, the party being followed by an "admiring crowd, " who cheered lustily, and the scene ends by Mr. George Smith re? turning "hcarfeit thanks" to his friends from a first floor window "A man who has boon cultivating tea, as an experiment, since 1860, ' . writes to- ?ie Savannah Herald that *nost of his .plants grow finely, that hi* tea is of good quality, and the plants will do quite as v/ell iu Georgia 'as in their native country. / DOIT GKEEK STIIL, LIVES-WHAT MK. LINCOLN SATD.-Gen. Duff Green is about to publish a letter reciting the conversation he nacl "with Presi? dent Lind?l? just before the fall of Richmond. Mr. Green, in Iii" inter? view, told Mr. Lincoln that the peoplo of the South wanted peace. The latter replied, Mr. Green says, in this wise* "If you want peace, come back into the Union, and if you! want slavery, or do not want it, you can vote on the Constitutional' Amendment. I cannot take back any ci my emanci? pation proclamation, but I will be liberal in amnesty to the Southern people." This took place in presence of Gen, Weitzel and others. ?

Sept 28 * To tile Voter* ot Orangeburg, E?lge iield, Abbeville, Newberry, Lexing? ton, Kitliland anil Fairfield. FSLT.OW-CITIZENS: After much hesitation, 1 have consented to be put in nomination for your Representative in the Congress of ' thc United States. I publish this card, be ? cn uso the District is so large and tho time ?before the election so short that I could : not, if I desired, canvass the District. If a j canvass were possible, however, I do not : think it becoming or desirable. In my ! judgment, this is no time for a sera ruble for j office. It seems to me that no one proper ' ly impressed with the solemnity of the j crisis, and the delicacy and importance of ! the duties to be discharged, could seek the? ; position merely for the gratification of per ! sonal ambition. For myself, I declare rhat j I have no wish but to servo the State. In 1788, South Carolina, through a ron j vention of her people, became one of the j United States. She remained a member of I tho Union until December, 1800, when, j through another convention of her people, I she repealed the Ordinance of 17S8. seced I ed from the United Statea, and with cer I tain other sister States entered into another i government' known as tho Confederate ; Government. We believed that we had the right to secede and that our security re? quired ita exercise in co-operation with our Southern sisters. South Carolina, in 1852, proclaimed by solemn ofdinance the right J of secession. It bad long been tho settled opinion of the State that abe was sovereign and entitled to all tho rights of sovereignty. She asserted self-government in order to secure ber institutions and principles from great evils, believed to be imminent. 8c cession wa? ir. the nature of a proceeding quia limet. It was coeecived in thc spirit of I self-preservation-not to injure others but to save ourselves. It cannot bc necessary I to say that I am one of those who believe that it was an honest effort for honorable I purp -ses. The United States Government I denic I the right of secession and waged war ipon tho Confederate States, which stooc upon the defensive-. A terrible war of in? Vbion and desolation followed, and finalh the Confederate States were over? whelm i d by force of numbers and dissolved. At the md of tho war the State of South Carolin i found thc Confederacy broken un, her cit a ens who survived tho terrible ordeal ? hausted and impoverished, her institut, i s destroyed, and the whole coun? try occupied bj-tho military forces of the United States. Under thes? painful cir j cumstaxu the President of the United States invited the States lately composing the Confederacy to re-organizH tlicir gov "ernnicnts and restore their connection, with tho Constitution and Government o'f thc United States, upon certain conditions, thc ' principal of which was an acqniesence in tho abolition of slavery, whieh had boon accomplished by the military authorities. The State, wisely in my judgment, respond? ed favorably to "tho invitation, ' It is true that the mere issue of battle does not prove right any more than did the old "wager of battle;" but it does prove power which can hot bc disregarded. A Provisional Gover? nor was appointed, who called another con? vention of the people, which lias lately repealed tho Ordinance of Secession, and bj- ah article in the state Constitution, recognized the abolition of slavery arid pro? hibited its re-establishment. Bv repeal? ing that of Secession, the Ordinance of 1788, through whieh Soutli, Carolina be? came a member, of th'? Union, was ipso facto revived, and we are this day in the Union precisely as we became in ?7JSS and remained up to 1860. We arc* now in a very anomalous position.'. Relying upon tho good faith .".nd patriotic intentions of the President oUhc United States, wo have done all that Wm required of us 'to restoro o un old reflrnons to tho Constitution and the Union; but still we have not; been received into fellowship at Washington. That important par^>f the plan of reconstruction remains ysBto he accomplished. It is understood" ^fct' a party will oppose thc President's P?sb pf reorganizing the Statesaud giving to tm>m equality of rights, and will i:. ;ud upon still farther" despoiling and crushing the Stated of the South as conquered provinces. Thur radical fanatical party opposed our leaving tho Union, and now they oppose ourreturn I ing to it. When we were in the Union, they I abused us on account ?f slavery. They j waged T. ur upon us because we tried to separate from them, and now that wo pro? pose to return without slavery, they still object. In this emergency, tho"8tate"needs the assistance of all her tn?- men. Much remains to be done, and not the least is to secure a prudent, faithful and patriotic representation in Congress, to assist and forward the work of restoration which the State has commenced. I arrogate not to myself fitness to form part of such a rep? resentation, hut friends have Urged me for? ward, and if you are willing to try mo, I will give my befit efforts. In sonic respects, we are at the beginning ?d' our policy, as if we were a new State about to assume now relations with our sister States; but we must never allow our? selves to forget that in other respects we? are an old State-a State having antcce j dents-a name to maintain and a history to preserve. Whatever nicy betide ns in the j uncertain future, the past, r.t least, is sc I cure. . South Carolina hus never swerved I from the path of honor, as she conceived it. ! We have a record of whieh none need he ashamed: and when anv apostate son ef hers disclaims or disparages it, may she east him out as unworthy of her. The devotion of every true son of tho State adheres in adversity as well as in pros? perity-is loyal through evil as well as through good report ; and in, the midst of the greatest misfortunes, "sticketh closer than a brother." After the delegations from the Southern States shall have been received into Con? gress, many delicate and impoi tant duties will devolve upon them, especially in refer? ence to the freedmen of the South, and the control whieh Congress, or a party in Con? gress, may desire still to exercise -over them. It may not be improper, in this connection, to say that, whilst I havo a?> provod rV.c course of tho State in seeking to restore herold relations with the Govern? ment of the United States, it'has been upon the faith awtd expectation that the State, as soon as reconstructed, is to have entire ' control of thc whole subject of lier domes? tic affairs. The Statc^and the State alone, must be loft to decide to whom she will give the right of suffrage! or other political rights. A new code noir must be enacted to protect and govern tho population lately made free-to prevent idleness, vagrancy, pauperism ami crime. I am not prophet enough to foresee whethe r wo cari succeed, but 1 solemnly belie ve it v.ill be impossible to live in the country at all unless the Stat? has exclusive control bf the whole subject. 1 have hope that this vnllbe permitted, nm: I-think it is in accordance with our inte? rests and true?olicy to sustain tho Presi? dent and tho Democratic party in .theil efforts to restore the St.ties to their posi tion of equality and to give them equa rights in tho (fovcrnment. With these views, if the voters of th? District think that I can servo them or th< 'State in this critical emergency, I will d< my best for them; but I have too high t sense of my own incompetency and of tb difficulties and responsibilities of thc posi tion, lo solicit it l>v a personal canvass.
