A County Ticket.?It is currently
reported, and by a great many be
lieved, that the Republicans and Fid
dlers in this county will, in. a few
~ ' i
weeks, placc a fusion ticket in the
I field. It is farther told, that to this J
Wd fr^MUfc^jscmra^izraKwitl be held ]
in the course of the next teiTdavsH EH-J
is not likely that it will be held in (
Winnsboro, and graveyard secrecy is j
enjoined by those in authority. Eumor (
says they propose a still hunt. The <
Democrats should be wide-awake and j j
the action of the Kadicals and their
emissaries should be carefully watched.
Whether these reports are well founded
or not no harm can possibly result
from being on the lookout.

What Next?? An article published *
in the Scientific American says Mr. ,
- ' I t
Edward Atkinson, well known as the ,
New Englander. who is deeply interesting
himself in everything relative
to cotton, has lately announced the ^
discovery of a new and important c!c- (
ment of value in the cotton crop. He- %
states that for each bale of cotton the^;
are 1,500 pounds of stems, which are C
very rich in phosphate of lime and
potash. "When ground and mixed
with cotton seed meal (which is too ^
rich for use in fodder in large quanti- .
mol-nt ft enrvo. ^

ri<ji?-<jattle food, rich in all the elements v
needed for the production of milk,
meat and bone. It is believed that
this utilization of the cotton stems,
hitherto a nnisance, will prove to cotton
growers a new source of wealth,
2
and in many parts greatly, facilitate c
the raising of stock, by furnishing a s
substitute for grain. t
Augusta's Trade Keview.?We a
have received a copy of the Annnal s
Trade Review published by the Augusta
Chronicle and Constitutio: , est. 3
It is a handsomely printed pamphlet 1
containing full and interesting reports
of the trade, the industries and the t
progress of onr thriving neighbor
across the Savannah. The articles are 5
all well written, and each page of the
pamphlet is illustrated with a beauti- t
ful picture of some Jeadiug object of 3
interest. The illuminated cover shows s
in bright and pleasing colors: 1. South

a credit as well to Augusta as to the i
enterprising publishers. Not the small- i
eat evidence of the city's fine condition
is the admirable daily which it
seems handsomely to sustain. This 3
support the Chronicle richly deserves,
for not only is it one of the very best
newspapers in the country, but it
spares no means and loses no oppor- '
tunitv to advance the interests of c
Augusta.
?Winburn, the celebrated traveling
photographer of the South, will be in ?

of Charleston. It ran thus: (

"Whereas, we, the humble petitioners, 1
are at present in a very melancholy ]
disposition of mind, considering how
all the bachelors are blindly captured by
widows, and we are thereby neg- 1
lectod; in consequence of this, our <
request is that your Excellency will, !
tor tne tuture, oraer tnat no wiaow j;
pi-esume to inarry anv young man till I
ths maids are provided" for; or else to
pay each of them a fine for satisfaction
of invading our liberties.; and
likewise a fine to be levied on all bach
elors as shall be married to widows. 1
The great disadvantage it is to us maids 1
is that the widows by their forward ;'
carriage do snap up "the young men !'
and have the vanity to think their! '

low They Look to an Intelligent Correspondent?The
Experience of a Northerner
in Quest of Fine Stone.
A correspondent of the JVetcs and
Courier writes an interesting account
>f the granite quarries of Hock City.
A.fter a general description of the land
mdits features, the writer says:
The laud upon which the quarries
ire located is part of a tract granted
jy King George III. to an ancestor of
Major Thomas W. Woodward, who -is
>ne of the three owners of the property
r.entioned above, and who lives and
dispenses a kindly hospitality at the
lomestead where inany generations of
his forefathers have lived before him.
The quarries have been opened since
hf> war. and the suDerioroualitv of the
stone is not yet generally known in the
United States. It invariably commands
immediate recognition, however,
wherever introduced. The principal
work now done is that of hewing
out, so to say, the familiar Belgian
blocks, which are piled up on
vacant lots along Tradd street and
?lsewhere in Charleston. This work
is done by Scotch quarry men, who
hove a peculiar knack for it, and the
first evidence I have to quote as to the
jnality of the stone is from one of tliesc
experts, who testifies that he has hewn
granite in Russia, Germany, Scotland
md the Northern States without having
seen the equal of the Winnsboro
granite anywhere in those countries.
The next witness was a contractor whe
bas furnished immense quantities ol
iranite for building and paving purposes
in Chicago, obtained from a famous
quarry near that city. This gentleman
came South on account of il!
health a year or two ago, and saw a
block of granite in Nashville, Tenn.,
which engaged bis interest, and whicl:
lie was to Id "came from South Carolina.
Impressed with its appearance and client
fine qualities he set out to find the
quarry Iroin which ii was taken,
Failing at Spartanburg ne was directec
to Columbia. The State-House granite
disappointed him. The new postof
Bee, which is built of the "SViunsborc
strrnfv Tulf him nn virrlif tmil nnfl
~"""J ~?
lie followed it up to Winnsboro. Hi:
subsequent movements afforded matter
of interest .on two accounts, as 1
IS'
I will narrate bricflv. Major Wood
} ward" was sitting in "his porch one day,
when the Chicagoan approached the
house on foot and hailed him at the
: o\ilset with an inquiry ns to whether
! i:c was interested in the granite qnaary.
. Major Woodward was interested in the
, granite quarry and volunteered to es'
c<-.rt his guest through the woods to
inspect the rocks. The stranger?nal1
iy, bnt with manifest hesitation, ac.
companicd him, taking pains all the
. while to display a Masonic emblem
which lie wore as a scarf-pin and
- ! directing Major Woodward's attention
- thereto by frequent mysterious motions
. which I may not particularize for obvi
ons reasons. The Major charitably resolved
-in his own mind that his new
acquaintance was "a little oft," and
- ' accordingly kept a sharp eve on him
: which precaution in no wise tended to
, reassure his companion or to impart
ease to his manner. However, they
visited the quarry together, and after
1 ; careful inspection the stranger an:
nonnced to Major Woodward that he
i was the owner of the best granite in
! she United States. "In'what re=pect
' i is it the best?" asked Major Wood
ward. "In respect of quality', quantity
and accessibility!" was the brief
and satisfactorv reply. With mnch
) i difficulty Major "Woodward induced
r | his friend to stay to dinner, and with
more prevailed 021 him at a later hour
I to spend the night at his house. Great";
ly impressed with the generous and
" | sincere hospitality of his hostjayd
' | hostess; the stranger took ' unwilling
" ] leave next day, after making a frank
* i exrl^fition of his reluctant acceptance
N]vindiiessv. anq^SLict^fc1 -hwifjt
'; learned, as he said, that all the good
! i ucoule in this country do not live at
! the'North. ITe had "been strongly
j urged before leaving Illinois not to
venture into the woods alone with a
Southerner, and oil no account- what;
i evpr to spend a night in the South
antside of some large town. Ihe pen'
j'aity for disregarding these injunctions
" he was assured, would be certain
11 death. With natural solicitude, and
:: a? an additional measure of safety, his
; wife with her own hands placed the
' Masonic pin on his scarf and obtained
a promise that it should be kept conspicuously
in view at all times. As
we have seen he zealously strove to do
! soon this occasion. Major Woodward
;: assured him that the advice he had re|
reived never to spend a night in the
i country while in the South was'good',
! and urged him to follow it; ''but}" he
" added, "whenever it is absolutely necessary
for you to do so, be sure to in
: quire lor the liranct iugn oyciops 01
j the Knklnx' of the particular county
j you are in and stay with him, as you
i j have done on this occasion, a:rd you
j will be safe." The stranger went his
i way with the air of a man who has
| seen a great light, and has now at
| !oa?t one Cyclops on the list of his
! lriends and correspondents.

veiled at Chester on Monday "after|
noon, ibe 6th inst., at half-past five
I o'clock. A resolution adopted by the
I State Democratic Executive Comrnit'!
toe was read, expressing the disap|
p royal of the committee of the iate
j adjournment of the Convention in adj
journing sine die without making a
j nomination for solicitor, and instruct?inr
fJm r>vnci/-lr>r>/- +n rr^rirrvAllA fllfi
"a >' ' ? ? r.
! Convention for this purpose. By vir-.
j tae of authority from the committee
j the president issued his call . for tbcj
reassembling of the Convention.
' | After the preliminaries had been
gone through with, the 117th ballot
was taken with same result as the first
ballot. This .monotonous ronmPcon|
tinned until late in the afternoon, and
| the Convention adjourned for supper
j and reconvened at 8.30 o'clock. It
|-was evident upon reassembling that
j the delegates were weary with child's
! play and that every one was anxious
! to have the dead-lock broken, a nomi{
nation made and a legal adjournment
| sine die.
Before nine o'clock the Convention
: had resolved itself into a committee of
i the whole, and the restraints of parliai
mentary law removed,, there was free!
dom of consultation, freedom of do
j bate, and plans and schemes freely and
i elaborately argued.
| ' Later in the night a motion came
i from Fairfield, .which narrowly es1
capcd defeat, for the appointment of
I a sub-committee of four, one from
! each delegation to retire, devise some
! plan for breaking the dead-lock and
i r<?nr?rf tn ihe> Convention. Hon. II. B.
I Massey of York, Chas. A. Douglass,
Esq., of Fairfield, Capt. E. T. Mock|
bee of Chester, aud?*EL E. Allison,
| Esq., of Lancaster, were appoiuted on
' this committee, and they retired im'
mediately for consultation. Several
, | plans were proposed, but the one from
i Fairfield ' was unanimously agreed
' i imnn hr fhfi nnmmittce and was em
! bodied in the report to the committee
| of the whole. The plan as reported
I and adopted was substantially as fol-;
lows: That the candidates be talen
in alphabetical order, each one in the
field to' be rnn singly agaiDSt each
I other candidate and the one receiving
| the highest number of the aggregate
j votes be declared the nominee of the
j committcc of the whole. Under the
;! operations of this plan the ballots
| \y;ru uuicu in uus utuui nuu tiiici i-u^o
manner: Messrs. Gaston and Hough
were first pjftcd against cach other,
and the votes were placed in a hat
appropriately marked and were left
, uncounted until ail the ballots had
; j been taken. Then Mr. Gaston against
;! McCaw and Gaston against McDonald,
! and keeping these ballots separately.
! Mr. Hough-was in turn pitted against
McCaw; and then McDonald. The last
ballot was between McCaw and McL
Donald. The balloting then over the
, exciting count began, and ihe faces
. of anxious delegates changed as the
I j count fluctuated, and first one and then
I another was found to he ahead. There
were thirty-two members i u the Cou.
vention and six ballots taken under
I the plan adopted and consequently 192
L votes were east. Of this number Mc|
Donald received --o-i, McCaw 50, Gas.
ton 45, and Hough 43. McDonald
was thereupon declared the nominee
of the committee of the whole and reII
ported as such to the Convention. Th?
? roll call was begun again and Mr. Ma
- Donald received the unanimous vote
> i of the Convention. When the result
; 1 was fully known and the victory won
.j beyond recall the faces of the Fairfield
! I boy severe lighted up Trith the fire of
. SSm
enthusiasm and none could have been
j happier than they.
Following precedents in such mat,
| ters the Convention appointed a comi
tnittee of t>ne from each delegation,
j consisting of Messrs. London of Eock
| Hill, Davis of Fairfield, Jones of Lanj
caster, and Mockbce of Chester to
j inform Mr. McDonald of his nomina:
tion. The committee waited upon him
and escorted the nominee into the convention
hall and was introduced by the
chairman of the committee.- Mr. Mci
Don^lf? rp>?nnnrlr>(1 vc.rv hannilv to the
