" 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.

giving information to those desiring it; addross

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.

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. L*-t the United .

ttsm seems to be regarded las the lone star

that of the Democrats. 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. Hancock
as their candidate for Vice President; and
even goes so far as to nominate the wholo Dsmoeratle
Cabinet. 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.
For Vice Proaldent?General W. 8. llaneock,
of Pennsylvania.
For the Cahinot, In the event ?<f the cleeion
and insuguiation of Chief Jusiiee
Chase as Pi evident of the United SlatesJohn
Qulney Adams, of MasraehusetU,
Secretary of State.
John T. Hoffman, of New Yoik, !Jeefetary
of the interior.
General Frank P. Blair, of BJlesoorri, Secretary
of War.
Gilbert O. Walker, of Virginia, Secretary
of (he Navy.
llotace Greeley, of New York, Poslmaster
General.
George II. Pendleton, of Ohio, Attorney
General.
Would not the ifficial proclamation of
thia Cabinet, with their Presidental ticket,
rally the democrats of all section*, in the
greatest enlhusinem, to tbe support of the
common cause f And would it uot bring
over all the sore beaded republicans in the
country to its support, and a great many
sound-headed ones, too 1 And why should
not the party, through its National Couven
tion, dictate to ila Presidential candidate
his initial Cabinett Unquestionably, the
rule applied to General Grant in 1808
would1 have saved him a world of trouble
m 1800 in the matter of bia Cabinet, and
he would have been exceedingly thankful
for it too.
Very forcible reasons are given for all tbe
nominations. Wo regret we bavo not present
spoco for the entiro article. It could not fail
to auiuac, if it did not conrince.

Tbe Southern Baptlat Educational Convention.
A correspondent of the Charleston
gives a full account of tbe first days proceedings
of the Convention at Richmond, Va. 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. Great good is expected from those
iducational conventions. ^

Your humble correspondent here left Capt*

I stopped over 34 hours in Cartersvllle, a
very brisk growing (own, with about 3000 inhabitants.
This is ono of the finest sections
of country in Georgia. A great many Carolinians
have settled in this county. I met
here a Mr. Rowland, whose parents moved
from Spartanburg; also, a Mr. Howard, a native
of Anderson, and for some years a merchant
in Augusta. These gentlemen have
done well. Called to soe Mr. Gowcr, but he
was absent; Mr. Hall, bis partner, was very
kind. The firm sccuicd to bo doing a driving
business.
As we had to wait four hours in Chattanooga,
I walked over to some of the heights near
the city, where I bad some fine views of Chattanooga
and Its environs.
A night's travel through the mountains by
moonlight brought us to Corinth. I went to
Churoh, and heard an ablo Sermon on the nni.
ty of the Church. And in this connection I
introduce two divines, both enjoying all the
privileges of the 15th Amendment, and charged
with messages of peace and good will for
their, respective congregation. One, a Baptist,
says to the other, a MothOdlst, " I don't
see a groat differcnco betwoen us, anyway.?
Wo are all trying to get to the same pluco, Ac.

I arrived at Brownsville this (Monday) ,
morning, and am epjoying the hospitality of
Messrs. Alfred and Sidney Carpenter. Those
gentlemen are in excellent health, and just so
busy all the time as scarcely to have time to i

looks new. It is surrounded by some
of the belt farming lands in West Tennessee.

nothing In saying that either of them, and ess
pecially the latter, will not be excelled for maturity
of thought and thoroughness of treatment
at any of .tbo college celebrations this
year.
After the giving of the diplomas and the
distribution of the honors and distinctions of
the past year, the lion. R. W. Barnwell,
LL. D., addressed the students in a few words
of the most excellent advice, tolling them that
in the upheavals of the present the experience
and the traditions of the past were lost. They
must shape their course for the future under
cifcumstanoes in which the scholar would learn
but little from bis teachers.'

real secrets of all true suocess.
Whether It be fortune or good name, or

make his own by labor and toil. Indeed, he

for himself and made his own.

The Wat xnrr Treat Suicides in Irelard?The
peopl s of Kilqnlggan, County
Wicklow, Ireland, deal In a summary way
wilh suicides, perhaps with the object of
preventing them from repeating their
crime. A tailor named Dyrne banged him
telf there n couple of weeka ago, and, the
coroner's jury having returned a verdict of
ttmporeiy inranliy, hie remains were iut?r
red in the churcbynrs! under the coroner's
warrant. A night or two afterwards the
body was exhumed by unknown persona
conveyed into the County of Carlow and
| there bulled In a field. On the next morn
I log It was found on a cross road near Cool*
Irsno wilh a liand-liat-rnw ?liic.h was
probably uaed in carrying it, The magistrates,
seeing that (ho people would not
let the coipie ie*t in peace, proceeded to
8h:llelagh Woikhouse (ominous name for
poor Bvlnk) add eonlericJ with the guardian*
ns'to the advisability and legality of
biioglng the remains within the precincts
of the workhouse, but were met by a delegation
of the female inmates who declar
ed their determination to resist such a disposition
of ths corpse. The tnngiftratesi
fearing further to arouse the already highly
excited feelings of the paupers, buried
lite suicide's body in a field adjoining the
place where it bad been found with the
hand-barrow.

Hancock as Domooratie candidates for President
and Vice-President, the New York lforaid
tays : " In the very sound of this ticket
of Chase and Hancock thlro is strength. Let
(he Democracy adopt it, aud they will hare no
defensive battle to fight in 1872 on dead issues
; but thoy will bo frco to take the offensive
and to earry the war into the enemy's
camp. Chase or Hancock will hardly do, but
Chase and Hancock is a sptondid ticket, even
tor the fight against General Grant."
