Oat Agents in Charleston .The advertising agency of Messrs WALKER, EVANS & COGSWELL represented by ROSWELL T. LOGAN Esq., is the ouly authorized agency i'oi this paper in Charleston'*. Tba Bacsat Elections and their Conse queuces. The great State oF Pennsylvania has gone for the Administration candidates by a majority of 30,000, tend Ohio by a majority of 15)000, whilst Indiana seems to have been carried for the Liberals by a small majority. A result so entirely un expseted to the oVelf-sanguine Lib erals, and which has so entirely falsified th? confident predictions of Mr. Greeley himself, has been at tended with corresponding depres sion in the disheartened ranks of the opposition. And, indeed, there Appears every reason for fear, and no just basis for hope, whether we . regardthe C3US69 OI Jiicc xcv or the consequences which will . naturally flow from it. Tlie late elections prove liow touch Ui^y be accomplished by powder and patronage, and money, wielded by an unscrupulous govern ment They show how easy it is ' <br power to perpetuate itself, even under the forms of law, and what a mere mockery elections may become Jf 't * r . through frauds in the registration, ' ballot-stuffing* repeating and cor rupt manipulation of votes. Such arts gave 20,000 fraudulent votes as a majority to the Administration in the rity of Philadelphia^ and, with similar frauds committed elsewhere, perpetuated the rule of the Carne ron ring, and assured the "key ofAn<> Rtnte" to Grant in November. ; The future in tliis respect eeems to give no better promise than the past, and what corrupt Government has done in the past, it will yet do. But Grant owes his success to something more than power and patronage, however corruptly used. Me is still the exponent of the war spirit?the anti-Southern feeling? which, iguore it as we may, still inflames the Northern masses, and seeks still a propitiation from the South, in the continuance of its abject humiliation, for the sins of the past. With them it is too soon yet to bridge over "the bloody chasm," and many of our Northern brethren with Wendell Phillipps, would desire to perpetuate the rule hf Grant, until every soldier of the late wa?* was in his grave. As an embodiment of the principle oJ sectional hate, the soldier-chieftain derives his chief claim to the sup port of the Northern masses. The natural result of the late elections is to produce the effects which they foreshadow* Success ie the divinity which most men wor ship, and to be on tlie winnmgimu;. U the highest object of their ambi tion. Success in the October elec tions will naturally produce a simi lar result in November, and not only largely increase the majorities in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but will doubtless cariy over the wavering, doubtful States to Grant. Foes Will be encouraged, friends dis heartened, and the timid will gc ?<ver to the strong side. The J\ew lorit juci UU4} nvrn independent stand-point, regard* the contest as already decided, and the election of Grant as certain!} assured. The Tribune, however, and some of our Southern contem poraries) go into the arithmetic of the campaign, and figure up a plausible showing for Greeley. TJiey reckon some seventeen States witli 178 electoral votes as sure for the philosopher, with only six votee needed from the doubtful States oi California, Illinois, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, STortlj Carolina, Bhode Island, and Wis consin, Yet, as we have aajd before, the natural effect of the recent victories in Pennsylvania and Ohio will be to give the doubt ful States all to Grant, whilst tjbev even jeopard the chances of Greeley in the Empire State of New York, with its thirty-five electoral votes. It may be pleasant, and perhaps not Unprofitable, to look on the bright side, and indalge hope as long as tve may, but it is no less the part oi true wisdom, to make up our minds for the worst, even though that be puother fjuL- years' rute of the piodern Cecsar. The Abbeville Fair.?The time for our approaching County Fair draws nigh, and we trust that our people are preparing to second the efforts of tho Executive Committee to rnske it a grand success. The Committee For weeks past have been l getting the Grounds in order, leveling the track, and fixing up tho premises generally, in anticipation of a large crowd, and a brilliant display, and we hope they will not bo disappoint ed. A varied and tempting premium list has been prepared, committees of award have been Vcirefully selected from all sections of tho District, and exhibitors may come up witli the as surance that their claims will not be ignored. If satisfaction is not given, it will be from no want of effort on the part of the Committoc. We trust to see oven more than the usual bril liant display of articles on exhibi tion j and even a brighter array of the solid men, and blooming ma trons, ami boautcous maidens than arc wont to grace theso occasions with their presence. These Fairs ai Hi cc ai B S] 'come but yearly, and that in the bright autumn season, tho brightest of tho whole }*ear. Then when the nkies are clear, and the air is pure, ttud When Autumn pours forth its gold en fruits, let ns hold high festival, bring samples of our skill, and of our thrift, and enter the lists of competi tion with our fellow-countrymen. We shall then unite profit and pleas ure, and make pleasure minister to our beet interests. Let us turn out in strength?the more the merrier? the larger the crowd the better the display. We learn that there will be a num ber of lady and gentlemen visitors TI Pl to in Pr cli | from Greenville and adjaceut counties, and altogether we anticipate a large attendance, a brilliant disylay, and a good turn cut generally. Relioious.?A Quarterly Meeting of the Methodist church was held hero on Sunday last; Rev. II. M. Mood, the Presiding Elder being present and in charge. Interesting and instructive discourses wero preached by him morning, afternoon and at night. Ilis afternoon's dis course was addressed to the children. IIo is a very earnest, impressive speaker, and at times truly eloquent In the Prosbyterian Church excel lent discourses were preached morn ing and at night by the Pastor, !Rcv. J. L. Martin. The evening's dis course was a very interesting discus sion of the subject of "Demoniacal Possession," establishing its historic trii'hand defining its nature. Tho sermon deduced from tho dcctrinc, a number of practical truths, as to tho 1 f_!i? power and presence 01 evu spinus, as motives to diligence, and incentives to Christian vigilance. The Rev. E. R. Miles, of the Epis copal Church, preached an eloquent morning's discourse from the text, "other foundation can no man lay than is laid which is Jesus Christ," and in the afternoon a discourse on the "Ground of Christian Trust and Consolation in the Divino Care and Protection." Progress of tiie Railroad near Greenville.?The Greenville Enter prise says: "The link connecting the Greenville and Columbia Railroad with the Air Line, was finished last Saturdav. and a construction train will now pass to the main line. The track-la3*ing will at once commence in the direction of Spartanburg, and it is expected that one-and-onc-fourth miles per da}r will be laid. The Su perintendent informs us that sixteen miles of the track has been laid from Spartanburg in this direction. From this it will be seen that but a few weeks can elapso beforo the track entire will be completed to Spartan burg, and, the superintendent of con struction informs us, will be ready for the cars b}' the 1st of November, !?" We had the pleasure during the past wcok of greeting in our office our old frieud and comrade in the army, Mr. W. A. Latimer, former ly of Abbeville, and now of Augusta, Ga. Since the war Mr; Latimer moved to Augusta, where he has for several years been doing a prosper ous business. During a recent visit to Augusta, we were pleased to learn of bis success. We congratulate him ^ nriati lillYl ft COHti 11UftnC6 Of hi8 good fortune. He is now on a visit to relatives and friends near Lowndes ville. W. The Ninety-Six Academ}'.?"We learn through Mr- T. C. Lipscomb, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, thst at the annual meeting of the Patrons of the''Ninety-Six Academy" Mr. J. R. Blake was elected the teach er for tho ensuing year. Mr. Blake proposes to take charge ef the school and build it up on its own merits, and we feel confident he will sncceed, as his past experience as an instructor has given general satisfaction. ?3* We are pleased to welcomo to our town, Mr. W. Christie Benet, the well known and Bucceseful teacher, late of Cokesbury, who is now study ing law in tho office of Col. Thomson. Mr. JB, is * ripe scholar ; an Edinburg graduate, who brings to his new studies the thoroughness, finish and discipline of trans,Atlantio training. Our best wishes attend him. 1" jgp3 See advertisement of meet hi ing of tho Greenwood Grange on 0 Thursday evening the 17th inst, ic A.

Turner, White Hall. Tiie Republican Meeting on Sat urday.? There was a small attendance at the Republican meeting on Satur day. The Abbeville Band was in attendance, and discoursed music at intervals. The principal speakers were Messrs. Dunbar, Republican, and E. F. Stokes, straight-out Democrat. We are rather surprised to tind the latter in such company, yet he illus trates tho adage that "extremes meet." IIo goes the "whole hog," and sup ports both Grant and Moses, and so far, is more outspoken than his co laborers. They are content to advance the same ends a little quietly if not more indirectly. A darkey wlTo heard his speech, thought it hard to beat, and said that Mr. Stokes was sure to be elected. Opening Day.?Thursday of the past week was opening day in tlie various millinery estaDiisnmenis 01 our town, and at the "Emporium of Fashion," at Mrs. Cain & White's, and at Mrs. Lytligoe's, bright crowds of fair visitors showed that something of more than usual at traction was drawing them together. "We have very little knowledge of these matters, but can safely say on the authority of others, that Abbe ville may well challenge competition in this line. All the best, brightest, and loveliest "of the latest styles, and most becoming fashions, here fln/l a -nlnon +r? nlonqp tliA fhnpv find gratify the taste. Hats, and bon ne's, and caps, and plumes, and flowers, and ribbons, and veils, and laces, and jewelry, make up a rich and varied array, among which the fair shoppers can scarcely fail to find something to please. The trouble will be to select aniong objects so beautiful, and st3'les so varied. Those of our country friends who have not been up, should call early, before the best goods are taken.

We are in receipt of; aletter from the oldest and most popular of the equestrian, gymnic and zoological J( managers in America, Mr. John Robinson, in which we are advised that his Colossal Combination en tertainment, of Menagerie, Museum, ^ Aquarium and Circus is on its way hither, and will Shortly be with us, There is no class ot our commu nity but what will rejoice in this information, conveying, as it does, that, beyond all question, the larg est and best exhibition in the world is to pay us a visit. Mr. Robinson's haa always been the favorite and standard Show of the South, and all others have sunk into utter insignificance in compar ison. He comes to us now, as we are assured by our contemporaries of the pres3, at every hand, with an exhibition infinitively grander and greater than any of nis former efforts, and embodying a ''World's Fair" .of auimate and inanimate wonders. It is not our province to cnumer ate the thousand-and-one attractions for the advertisements and the bills of the day, which will shortly be displayed, and spread broad cast through the country by the millions, will exonerate us from that task. But we will allude, en passant, to his collection of living red Sea Lions from the Alaskan seas, his half a score of Arctic Seals, his great Sumatran Rhinoceros, his gigantic Ostriches, his stupendous Giraffe, (a recent importation), and his vast array of dens and cages, filled to repletion with living speci mens of the rare and curious of earth, sea and air. The champion athletes and gymnasts of the Uni verse, Messrs. Kelly and Stiekney, by their extraordinary skill and daring, add to the attractions of the entertainment; and the "Di Vtr lion" of the arena, M'Jle Mime Ar mour, lends the witching of her beauty and fearless equestrianism. Death of Mr. Sewabd.?This distinguished Statesman died at his residence at Auburn, New York, of ague, catarrh and palsy combin ed, on Thursday last. His intellect ual faculties remained clear and vigorous to the last, llis funeral took place on Monday. The TtUaim says of Seward: To-day, as the news of his death is telegraphed over the world, it is no exaggeration to say that in every court and cabinet on earth the ti dings will come with something of a personal shock to the few who govern the many. In the republics of 8panish America, the loss of a powerful friend and patron will be mourned; the Statesmen of Europe - -i?: c Will recognize (lieueiiliee UI tuiuuoi the only American whom they have ever regarded as their peer, and in the farthest East, in the uttermost isles of the een, prayers will be of fered in strange tongues to alien gods for the repose of the aged chieftan, whose white head and broken frame casts such a wonder about his wide iourneyings in the hamlets and palaces of India, and Niphon, and Carthage. After the death of Mr. Lincoln, it was Sew ard's faith in human nature, his confidence that other men were, on the whole, as good ns he, which led him to believe in and to support the policy of Andrew Johnson, for immwlidto rpfltnrfltioil of the South. For this he sacrificed his position in the Republican party, and at the election uf Gen. Graut, without a compliment or a civility, left that Department of State, which he had administered during eight years, with a wisdom, an adroitness, an unfailing courage, and an indus try hitherto unprecedented in our annals, and which we may long look in vain to see repeated. ^ ^ ?
