[yews and Courier.] TSeaI’wort, July 15—A Ifepublfcan pow-wow, the second'of the seasen, at the call of the county chairman, came off At llrick Church, 8t.‘ Helena Island, on Friday hiet. A'n immence,gather ing of negroes tv as had to listen to Smalls, Whippet, 77iggln8, CoIHuS, Gantt, Robinson and Tom Hamilton. The meeting v. as unusu ally quiet and orderly. Ex-Judge Wigpln spoke first. He assured his audience of his loyalty to the party, abused the Legislature, ex pressed cofidence in Governor Hamp ton, and counselled union, vigilance and ^al until 1880, when Grant would be the eandl late for President, and unite and crystalizo all elements for victory. State S' nator Collins f. llowed, and exposed fhe black record of that noisy tdack rascal Sammy Green, his prede- decossor. He aesrted bis own loyalty, and txpJaihed satlnfactorally bis deal ings with the Fieodfnau’c Sank. Sammy Green came next, and assert ed hhi' innocence. He bald that he bad made confession, and criftiihated himself himself to escape the peni tentiary, and was sorry now that ho bad poijured hftoself. ‘ The redodbtable Congressman Smalls was next called upon, ami took the stage amid the Vociferous cheers of'au adoring multitude. It is per fectly astonishing to witness the in- breaBtng Infldeuca of this negro. He seems to possess the confidence of his race to a degree that no other negro can hope; to att&ln. The men, women and children seem to regard him with a feeling akin to worship. Eis speech mos'tly directed to a vin dication of himself from ‘the charges made agaiut him by the Investigating committee. He stated to' bb con stituents that since he had last met them upon this spot he had been tried, convicted and sent to the penitentiary. That his case was how before the Judges of the Supreme Cohn bf the State, that at any time he would not ,bo surprised to hear that the judg ment of the lower court had been af firmed. ’ That la deference, however, to the tribunal on whom nis‘ fate de pended he would have to say the^ are ail good men, that doubtless their de- ,eieton would be righr,'bht that In the event of an unfavorable dedsion against him he would rely upon an appeal to a higher tribunal', and that therefore, he did not apprehend he would reach ths penitentiary before he would have the opportunity of speaking to them again and frequent ly [“Teng God,’' from the voices in the crowd.] He referred to the admlatra- tlon df Governor Hampton, - at which he expressed himself satisfied, and sta ted that Hd should abetain from speak log as favorably of him as he felt fo that his motives "might be miscou- strced.aod that tAbe accused of crin ging to the powers that be. . He re ferred to the just and llbeMl course of the Governor which had riedmmen ded him to tbecOnfidhenco of the ‘peo ple, and believed that If he oontimiAd to be surrounded by fair supporters that his counts would cohtlnue to de mand the itopect which was being accorded It by adherents of both polili- cal parties. He told his hearers that the Governor bad made a speech re cently at Blackviiie, which for fairness pledges be had made before bis elec tion. He ponsjdered the coming, cam paign as the most Important for the future of the Republican party. In the State, and advised a steady adherence to the StraigJit-o,ur Republican nom inations. • f . > The few remarks of, W. G> Whipper, who followed, were, as usual, in defi ance of arrest and exposure qf any fraud he had ever comnpiRbbd against the State. He denouoed tlm Denjo- srats, and declared himself, opppsed to Governor Hampton, whose sincerity he doubted. He abused the late Leg islature, whom he regarded as thp weakest set of frauds ever sent to rep resent a people, and thought that their miserable performances were calcula ted to add strength to an Indepen dent party, of which he was in favor. At the conclusion of his speech and some scattering remarks from Joe Robinson and Hastings Gantt, it was put to the vote whether Tom Hamil ton, who was present and who had come for the purpose of being heard, should he alllowed to speak. At. first there was con siderable doubt ae to whether Tom would be suffered to address the faith ful, and most un;! asant, demonstra tions were made in favor of gagging him and choking him off completely; indeed, pfter it waa agreed that he should be heard, attempts ware made to prevent pis utterances. • A- ... * * Smalls, however, whose influence is all powerfuI,;lnsi8ted that hoshpuid be ;stened to respectfully. Hamilton then proceeded to say that he had no apologies to make for the course he had pursued ; that bo didn’t care a continental whether they approved his course or not, that he would re peat the same un Jor the same circnra- atances again, and that if it was due to him, ps has been charged, that the Democrats are in power, that he was glad of it as It secured to the State Governor Hampton, in whom he bad the utmost reliance and confidence ; that hp Was a Republican, but that he Intended to act and speak- as he thought best, fie defied the crowd, (ft f ' ,i* 1 7 whom he understood intended to read filth out of the party ( p,nd desired to state that (t was fpl that ptirpoce he had taken the trouble to come ov«r and attend the meeting, to which, al though not invited, Intende'd should have his presence and his .voice*.'In conclusion he stated that he ; would not say what he thought of them then, BARNWELL C.

G., July 7.—The famous Bald Mountain Is afraln in a state of agitation. Yesterdhy some parties who visited the place found that the rent across the mountain bail become wider. The discovery of t'hla chasm was first made public fd' the Glbbe- Democrat two months Ago, and a full account of the internal convulsions given then. The rent in the mouhtaln is now considerably wider. The Glbbe- Democrat correspondent, in company with many citizens, visited the place td-day. Upon looking Into the chasm an entrance to aa Immense and appa rently unfathomable cave la seen. It. Is now a settled fact that' the whole mountain fa hollow, thus making one of the most wonderful and startling natural curiosities In the world. Du ring the week occasional rumbling noises have been he*rd in its bowels, but whether they proceeded from seething, boiling lava, or other rq^jally mysteiious causes is yet to'be ascer tained, Crowds of visitors are flock ing hero hourly, and arc gazing Into the mysterious volcano, if such it is, with a feeling of awe. Arrangements are being made for a thorough explo ration of the mountain, but so far there are but few men who at^ willing to be first to start on the underground journey. Already tbete are wild *nd mjBterloub stories afloat' which are believed by the superstitious. 'It is stated that last night figures could be seen through the chasm movisg about la the great subterranean balls of the mountain by the light of torches, whose occasional flasbeo," darting through tbe clefts and cragl, struck terror Into tbs hearts of the simple mountaineers. Again it Is said that these mountain gnomes are nothing mord than a gang of unsubdued illicit distillers, who bavs made good use of tbe place, and kept up thl’ noise* to frighten people a#hy.

But such is -the fact; aad under our climate', In' a summer of averagb dews, It is believed by many to be possible, not only to make a good crop ^ot Corn, but cab bages, without a <frop of raiu from June to October, if only the soli is stirred about the plants two or tjiree times Weekly, or oftener. Hut the stirring should be shallow In very dry ahd excessively hot weather, the ob ject belbg to bring fresh eart{t to the feedibg-rboui and pot too 'mubh to wound or disturb them.

On part of the five acres I sowed broad cast five hundred pounds of ash ele ment per acre, and on the whole five acres two bushels of cow peas per acre, turning all under with a Watt’s turning plow. The result was a luxu rious growth of vines, the more spe cially where tbe ash element had been sowed. No fruit was matured by tbe pea.

This Is the “strong man” doctrine of Carlyle—the doctrine which makes that bilious prophet preach the Gospel of Frederick the Great for Germany, and set forth Oliver Cromwell as the savior of England out of the convul sion* of the great civil war of 1641.

What would be left us then to build on after his death, supposing him to reign peacefully and successfully for the term of bis natural life ?
