We here teen e circular, eigeed by EJ. Emeriek Sell, Grand Wottliy Palriaroh, and Thomaa J. LaMofte, Grand Sciibe, feom which as* extract the foliow? tag: " It must be apparent to- every observer that interaperaoee prevail* to an alarming extent in this Stale; that the war, and the trouble* aince, have driven thousand! of our people, of good habits before, to seek relief from their misforlunea in intoxioating bev* eragee, and it ia to ba feared that diaaipation is, even now, on the increase ia our beloved old 8tate. " Before the war, the temperance couse waa popular in South Carolina. In almost every eonnty there were flourishing Divisions of the Sons of Temperance, and it is believed that many of these, in a slate of suspension for the last ten years, will em> braea the preasnt opportunity to revive the order and resume the good woilc. " An invitation la cordially extended to II who formerly belonged to the order, to retnrn and ateitt in the work of reconilruo lion ; to the metnbert of all the ohurclice in the Slate, and to all olhere disposed to make ?ome sacrifices for the good of themeelrea and their country. " It la believed that the circumstances are favorable for the prompt restoration of onr order to ita former high position in the State, and that it will prove powerftrlly instrumental in reatoring to the Palmetto State the prosperity and happiness of former times." This is plain, pointed, unmla'aknlde language?an effort is being made to reconstruct defunct divisions, and every one is called upon to lend their co operation in this undertaking. We are pleased to see this early forward step, and believe success will crown their efforts. Friends, lend a helping hand?endeavor to gel eight names for the purpose of foimiog a division and when that number is secured, and the division gotten under way, you will be amply repaid for any sacrifice you way have made, by seeing your fellow-mon turning their feet from the noisy, degrading groggery, to the quiet, elevating place where love, purity and fidelity rule and reign. The Grand Scribe will take pleasure in giving information to those desiring it; addross him at Columbia, S. C. An Outrage. It is our duty to record one of the most brutal outrages that was ever committed in this or any other county. This outrage was committed on the night of the 80th June, at the residence of Mr. Harrison Scott, who is one ol our best citizens, and who resides in tbo western portion of the county, near Mt. Gallagher post ofiiee. At the time, Mr. Scott was absent on business, having gone to Honea Path for the purpose of selling cotton. About 1 o'clock, on Ibc night mentioned, a bind of negroes, supposed to be some 10 or 12 in number, came to his premises, and first made an attack upon the store-room in which a little boy was sleeping. The little fellow becoming frightened, ran out and | was fired upon, but fortunately escaped j without injury. They then made an attack j upon the dwelling bouse, in which they , found Mrs. Scott, her two children and her j mother. Ilcr mother fled from the house, j and wna fired upon without effect. Enter- \ ing, they demanded money of Mrs. Scott, or t information as to the place in which it was ( kept. Mrs. Scott refusing to tell, lliey pro- , cecac'j to eearcli tlie room, breaking jn piceos a splendid bureau, and smashing tilings generally, amiJ oi^lia ind all inannar of foul language. Failing in tbeir search, they returned lo Mrs. Scott, dragged her from lier bed by the hair of her bead, fired pistols around her person, and finally presented tlicni at hor bosom, and swore that ahc must either tell or die. She was sti'.l fiini. They then carried her daughter through the same ordeal, with like result Seizing upon a little son, they held him up by the hair of the head, and swore if he did not tell them where they could find the money, they would cut his throat from ear to ear. Ia his fright the child referred them to a certain, trunk, where they tound, and took some $300 in gold and silver? mostly gold. All this was done amid the most horrid oaths and ahusivo langnage. Afier this, the band*returned lo the More room, whero they obtained some twenty dollars more, and were only prevented from sacking it by ths gathering of the neighbors, who had been awakened by the firing and the shouting to iho distance of a mile or more. Mr. Scott estimates the damages at five hundred dollars. The proper affidavit was made before Trial Justiee Lark, who iseueil warrant, and has already arrested, and lodged in jail at this place, three of the guilty party?Squire Jackson, Charles Clar<dy and George .Smith. The Trial Justice and iiis officer are in hot pursuit of the others, aud in a short time expects to have the entire band of outlaws under the power of the law ?LaurenmilU Herald. - ?

It appears that, with few ejf-eptlonr, the Soatliere pre'% end It is especially no In South Caroline, ere eulhrely willing to aequlesce in thia new da per lure, or Valla*diohjm platform. For oureeWee, we think thet the party in the North and Weat should here the making of the platform to their own notion. The 8outh ahould not interfere much with the Presidential election. Of eourae it Is ex- | peeled (If Gaairr eontlnues his opposition to the enfranchisement of Southern men, end still holds on to a policy that forces the government of the Southern States as far ea it can do into the hands of the ignorant end the adventurer and corruptioniet.) that evert body but bitter Radicals in the South will favor the election of some other man, Democrat or liberal Republican. But it Gramt should come out as he diJ at Lee's surrender, with the display of a wise rungnaolniily, and show, by recommandinir a liberal policy toward* the South, that lie ennnot be used a* a mere tool of bitter and selfish extremists ; that he i? willing to be the President of honorable in*n in the South, and of those who are identified in intcreat with tlio proapority and honor of the Statae ; in thort, if he will recommend the removal of all disabilities, they were only justifiable as a war roeaaure, nnd advocate renl reave, not stopping in saying M let us have peace,'? and then continue to strike asunder the filth tlb, and make silly cliaig< s ngniust us as harboring designs of raising another standard of revolt. If he would imitate Washington a little, or some o> the other great inen who have been Presidents, the indifference of the South would allow him to secure, without difficulty, moat of the votes of the late " so-called " States. Our own opinion is decided, that it would be suicidal nonsense for any Southern dele gate to a National Democratic Presidential Convention to offer to put any plank, or the smallest splinter or pin, into the party platform. All we can wisely aim at in these Southern Stales, is to defeat the election of a narrow, bitter, seotlonal nnd purely parlizan President, if such should be nominated by the Republicans. No reml Democrat ever come uoder this description, and stayed with the party. If tho Republicans nominate a liberal and enlightened man, capable of appreciating, and pledged to regard the rights, interest and honor ot nil theStates and all good citizens, and wbo have shown, or willehow before the campaign opens, his faith by his works, by t/ying to go rigid, and to do good "as much as in him lies" to all sections, North, South, East and West, then we s)iall be disposed in the South to refrain, in a measure, from all active part in the next Presidential contest. We have important things to look after in reforming matters at home, in our own Stote governments and other domestic localities. We wish we could gel rid of the habit, but the necessity is still forced on us at the South of speaking of onr own locality as if it were a separate , and distinct country from the United States. t But evidently as ling as the Federal Ad- i ministration discriminates against us, die- i franchises and persecutes our seel ion, we i must conlintio to le somewhat local in feel t ing as well as in expression. Let the Pres- < ident and Congress, (they are the Govern* nent,) set the example of lovinc and d.?ln<r uslice and doing good to every flection, I mowing no North, no South, no East, no c iVeat, in their impartial administration of 1 lie powera of the Constitution. Can they T sxpect to be worshipped and loved by tho I vhole South, whilst using the insulting a courge of mere power ? Are they god*, to <* liink to command our love by thetr pro- f iciiplions and adicrse laws and punish v ucnts ? Even the npoalle of the religion of ? ove sai l we loved our Saviour " because he t \rit loved us, and gave himself for us. But " lo our rulers at Washington show any love c or the welfare of the Southern people, vhen they force them into the plundering ianda of carpet-baggera and their ipoorant lopes, or cunning allies.

Ia several numbers lately, It has biased forth the names of Chief Jastiee, Caasa as the right Presidential caadi< date for the Democrats, with Geo.

We believe with the N*rald, that bis presidential team would be a strong one for the Democracy ; and if put to the wagon, would probably pull it ty the top of tbe hit! triumphantly. We give the following extract from one of the several very able aod sagacious editorial* of the IJtrmld: NATIONAL DEMOCSATIO TICKET. For Pi osldent?Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio.

The meeting took pluco on Tuesday last. We moke tho following extract: * The National baptist Educational Convention held Its first meeting in the city of Brooklyn, in April, 1870. It was them recommended that similar meetings be held in tbe eauso of education in other pnrts of tho United States. In compliance with this suggestion, conventions of this kind bare been held in Worcester, Mass., for tbe Eastern States, and* in Chicago foe the West, and the body wbioh now convenes in Richmond is for the South | Tuc permanent organisation of tho convention was cffocted by tho election of Professor J. P- j Boyce, D. D.,of Greenville, S. C., as President, i and Rcr. C. C. Bitting, of Lynchburg, Va., as ( Secretary. Tho body is composed of some of j the most eminent educators in tho country. < Dr. Botck seems to hate established a wide \ reputation for ability, and also for high qualifications as a presiding officer in deliberative assemblies. Hence, bo has been chosen to fill , tucli positions frequently. His reputation is rot limited to tlis South, but has become as- ^ ional.
