Our neighboring town, Anderson, had on Saturday last quite a political Jove-feast, at which some five thousand whites and two thousand colored people were in attendance. Much of thesaino feeling that pervaded our people at the big meeting at Abbeville prevailed at Anderson, and the Democratic triumph was so decided that the Republicans of AnderHon have, it issaia, determined not to put a county ticket in nomination. Lowndesville had a full delegation there under command of l;oI. II. H. Harper, and Autreville was represented by the "McGowan Sabre Club," under command of Capt. John E. j Brownlee, Each delegation threw to the breeze beautiful banners which had been furnished by some of tlie patriotic ladies. The procession of mounted men numbered some two thousand and as they marched through the principal 'streets the music of the band tilled the air, and beautiful women at every house filled the doors, windows and balconies,) waving handkerchiefs, cheering thei men, while the booming cannon i sounded high above everything else, j The whole presented a scene never be-; fore realized by the people of Ander-i uon, The number of United iStatea! flags displayed from the doors, win-l Uows, gates, housetops, and other places, exceeded one thousand, and H"* they swayed in the breeze in the preseiiceof the vast multitude they lent additional inspiration to the men* wild with enthusiasm. Ou the centre post of the stand, pencil drawings on canvass of Hampton and Simpson hung in bold relief: a large pyramid of flowers, ornamented with beautiful miniature flag*, was not to be overlooked; the whole was jirebed with evergreens and the namej of South Carolina gracefully inter-) fcwiued. Belojy which in horizontal! lines were the following inscriptions: "Hard money and plentv of it," "Tilden and Hendricks," ''peace and pro- ; tcctiou to all classes," ''Hampton and ; Simpson," " Retrenchment, reeoncil-| jation and reform," all artistically! made of evergreen*, and tastefully ar-1 j-anged. The whole was canopied by j appropriate cloth suspended, and a! haudsome carpet kept the speakers'i feet from the boards below. j We take from the Hey infer the fol-, lowing mention of the meeting: Ati 11 o'clock, Mr. Hoyt, in a few welili <chosen remarks, intruduced our noble j standard-bearer, (UENEKAL ?AVADE HAMPTON* who was received with rounds of; applause. There was cheer after cheer | ?so much w? that it was sometime be- i i fore the General could begin speaking, i i He said that ho wasgratitied to meetji *mcii a reception; that he would state now in the beginning of the campaign | that he intended to meet all in a peace- j .able way. He said that General li. E. i' Lee told him before the war was over,'s that no matter which side was success- j i /ul, the negroes would be free. This I Jie had never told to any one before. 1 He told the colored people that he had !; r>ledced his word to his hands in Mis- i < *ixsippi, bust fall, that if the Democratic j I party, then about to be successful I Jtiieredidn'tjsecure them every rightand | ( make tbciu better off, thnt'he would {s jcive them his plantation, and that they 1 j .came to him since and told him that: 1 ihey were satisfied. He said that we; 1 ^ l)?i a perfect right to call upon the Re-; J publicans, such as Carpenter, Tomlin- i 1 won and others, to assist us now in our j effort, since he had helped them when ji they h?ul tried to get into office, j 1 Work is what he called for from every i one. Hedidn't plead for himself, but : t for South Carolina, for every one knew j t that in entering upon this canvass he jj had made a great sacrifice, but he con- ? jiider-ed that his State had called him, '1 iiud when she called he felt it to be his p duty to respond, not only with his la- 11 |?of, but-with his life itself if necessa-1 li ry. He' hoped to meet us again when ! t ad I our efforts shall have been crowd- I ed witk success. Would that I had 1 time and space to give you his speech iu full. It was full of noble senti- 1 jueuts, and breathed peace to all, and 2 I think every man in the State, white . and-colored, should hear it. He spoke 'J thirtv-five minntes. J HON. W. 1>. SIMPSON. 4 was the next speaker, and held the ? vast audTence #pell-bound for lialf an \ Lour. I will only give you a few j tlmughts from it. He told tlie colored J people-that they might rest sure of all t thejr rights when Hampton was elected, for he (Hampton) had pledged his < jvord to be the Governor of the whole I Deople and protect all, and sooner i would the stars fall from the skies 1 than General Hampton would break < tiis word. It was truly a tin<? oratory, | ( and was well appreciated by the color- i ed people. " I GENERAL GARY 1 was introduced and spoke for about forty minutes. Hegave us some whol- j i nau^e truths on taxes, currency, civil i service and other topics. He showed j that while the taxable property in i 'the State was only about onefourth i what it was before the war, our taxes . were over three times as much as i then. He said that come what may, i we intend to place South Carolina be- I side her sisters of the South in the I Democratic ranks. I GENERAL M'GOWAN was now brought to the front and de- ' livered in his usually happy style to a people who know him well, aud always have a welcome for him. The ' freedman showed that they wcre'pleas<?d by frequent applause and well-tim- 1 ed remarks. COLONEL D. WYATT AIKEN 1 of Abbeville county, then made the next speech, and It was pronounced d.v | several old friends to be the best speech J lie ever made. He called upon the |' ]>eople of Anderson to do their whole duty to assist other parts of the State to get rid of the rotten Radical crew. 1 He said to do the Radicals like we ' would snakes in the swamp, hit them every time we see them. 1 colonel william wallace 1 was the last speaker, and made a fine impression upon the people by his first t<peech to them. He said that Hampton was now on board theship of Slate and could stop her and steer lier safely ?m her voyage towards the next centennial. He closed by calling for three cheers for Tilden, Hendricks and Hampton, and it was responded to with a will. We had fine music from the Pendleton Band and the Anderson Band. good okdek prevailed throughout the entire day. There was not the slightest disturbance that I have been able to hear of. M ? ?I, fiWJ'UKUjr ?cui utMiii; ?Cil [jico-^cu, and everybody pronounces this to be a grand success. I take it that this the first meeting bodes well for the whole campaign. Let the enthusiasm spread to every county in the State and we will be sure to \\yn. Among those present from Abbeville were : Messrs. J. C, Hemphill, A. M. Hill, Richard Hill, Lexington Templetun, James Norwood, 8. S. Marhhall, Calhoun Marshall, H. E. Pincki?ey, J. Y. Jones, E. M. Osborn. John B. Wier. Our citizens present were highly pleaded with the whole affair, and we congratulate our neighbors upou the success which has attended their efforts in the cause of Democracy. Returning Pilgrim*. Last night a party of fifteen negroes | fjassed through town 011 their way >ack to Georgia. In the spring this party being under the impression that South Carolina was a land of liberty and plenty, pulled upstakesin Wilkes county, and came to Laurens county fliiu liltafn it'liaoa f Kmr uot 11 <i/) Kl'nf'O JIB lllii? UlUbV ? JJCIC IIIVJ OVkliv^* then they lmve become dissatisfied and are going back to their old homes sadder and wiser men. They say that Georgia is a much better State than South Carolina, and Nelson Steven, the man of the party, who called at this office, says he would advise his race to go to Georgia in preference to . staying here in South Carolina. He hays his race is more honest in Georgia than they are here. He says he never heard of as much stealing in his life as Jie has heard of since he has been in South Caroliua. He never voted in hi* life. THE IIADS AT WORK. | The Ilurning of Dr. J. W. >Y. Mar- I ^hall's Fine Residence. The citizens of this town werearous|ed from tli slumbers on Suuday | morning last at half past three o'clock | ! by the ringing of the church, hotel, J shop and marketjbells, together with I the alarming cry of "tire," and it was soon ascertained that the dwelling ofj I I)r. Marshall on Magazine lli i was in j I Haines. Our citizens rushed to the i Doctor's relief but owing to the great j i headway which the flames had made j j before the alarm was given, but little! assistance could be rendered. Tliel I house was soon enveloped in the fiery ' I element and nearly the entire contents : were consumed. Mrs. Smith, the Doc-' tor's mother-in-law, an old lady who! had been confined to her bed for a I long time barely escaped from her room upstairs. Only one mattress, one feather bed, a few chairs, some clothing, a piano and a few odds and euds were all that were saved out of a large j house well tilled with all rhat went J to make a large family comfortable. Mr. and Mrs. II. E. Pinkney, of Charleston, who were on a visit to the Doctor's family, lost everything with them. Among other things burnt were valuable papers, several hundred dollars in money and a gold watch belonging to Mrs. Smith. The Doctor and Mr. Pinkney both lost gold watches. The silver and glass ware of the house were a total los9. The sympathies of this community are with Dr. Marshall in this great ca- , lamity as it is believed that it was the work of an incendiary. For the past ( several weeks, son^e of the ltepubli- f cans have openly made threats to burn the property of Democrats and it ( is fair to presume that this is only the ( beginning or wain mcy jiuumu <.<# u?. When Republicans can boldly stand on our streets and declare their intention to burn the property of Democrats we are indeed in a lamentable t condition. We have been informed f that several women have declared ^ their intention to burn, while one rj man, some two or three weeks ago ^ upon the public square made threats ,, to burn the property of the Democrats * of the town. The threats have been ^ made and the burning has been done, i What bettter proof do we want. A , man makes a threat to do a thing and i ( it is done. If the aforesaid Joshua I ( and the women above mentioned are ( not swung to a limb, we think they j should at least be arrested and bound ^ over to court. It would, if it did no j other good, prove whether the Trial : Justices were disposed to do their duty ,, in requiring good bail, and the commuuity would see who of our citizens t endorse the inceudiary act by going | their security. . I ls Pleasant Day nt Cliukscnles' MiiJ.I On last Friday the citizens of the neighborhood of Monterey gave ail 1 excellent pic nie and barbecued dinner ^ it Cliukseales' mill, to which there were quite a number of ladies and gentlemen invited from the village. n After a pleasant ride of ten miles * with the most enjoyable company we irrived on the ground, not without an ? ml venture, but without any limbs broken, and joined and intermingled with the group of pleasure-seeking young people who were already seated on the benches and rocks in the tielightful shades of the over-hanging v tranches of the monarchs of the for-1 j, ?st. Spending some time in this |p iocial manner, quite a number of the f f., jarty retired to the mill house, and ^ jnder the inspiration of some excel- ^ ent violin music furnished by Mr. |{ Elijah Speer, engaged in the dance 0 ititi 1 dinner was announced. j v The dinner was an abundant onoji, ?< rvfl . li)(l consisieu "i ckij ?tmvij vi m neals, vegetables and pastes, prepared I j, n the most palatable mauner, which ij, ogether with tlie kindly greeting ex- ,r ended to all, spoke volumes for the v renerosity and hospitality of these tl ;ood people whose guests we were. c] .'he day being 11 pleasant one, and the n( iarty being in a fine humor for enjoy- S( nent nothing transpired to mar in the '.j east the pleasure of any one, ami hose from Abbeville felt pleased at js laving spent the day with the nice jeople of Monterey. (>) Among the gentlemen present from j, Vbbeville were Messrs. 8. C. Cason, d. P. DeBruhl, W. C. McGowan, a| Arthur Simpkins, O. T. Calhoun, jt fillman Wardlaw, Cheves Haskell, tj fames Perrin, Willie Lyon, and repre- w entatives of the Prats and Manner e< ind the Medium. Among the ladies vere Mrs. J. F. Livingston, Misses Sadie Livingston. Emma Wilson, Ivy ,Jerrin, Meta Lythgoe, Hebeeea Caer. Annie Htiekabee, flattie Allen. Noticeable among the crowd that lay at the mill was 'Squire Wm.and 4 drs. Speer, who are now over eighty / , ream of age. These good old people iave been blessed by a kind Provi Jence and honored by all who know .hem. Their good example and sterl-1 ng character will serve to guide us in j ;he oath of right long after they shall | j !iave gone to their reward. J " Dr. J. T. Bat-kins, William Lanier j : md others, took an active part in get- h ting up the dinner. Mr. and Mrs. . Edwin Calhoun were present and con- ~ tributed their part to the success of the day's entertainment. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. CIinkscales were not hind- " most in the good work, while Mr. ' *nd Mrs. \V. V. Clinkscales were a J host of themselves, and Dr. Taggart's . friendly welcome made all feel at ' Uome. ?' The Comiug Town Council Election. ^ The election for Jntendant and War Jens of the town of Abbeville is advertised to take place on Monday next, *nd as usual.there is much feeling 11 uniong some of (iur citizens in refer- j. I'uce to the election of these officers j who have a sight of disagreeable work ^ ti Uhrmi- rpi-^ivinf anv nav or I IA? UW ? , ? thanks, etiher. The names of candi- * ilates liave been put forward and the ' friends of the nominnees have active- s ly gone to work, ami no good citizen r should absent himself from the polls, ? r>r neglect to cast bis vote for the best J ticket before the people. That same 1 old question "Wet" or "Dry,'-' is now, r as it has done for the past twenty years, agitating tlie minds of some of 1 our people, who are interested in lmv- * ing a "Wet" ticket. The "Dry" men 1 have no idea of attempting the e!ec- ^ tion of a "Dry" council, and we arc * glad that they have determined not to make an issue of that sort. We have been familiar with Abbeville for the Eiast twenty years and as fur as we mow, in no single instance have the 1 "Dry" men been sufficiently strong to I elect their council. Forourselves weare 1 tired of having that question agitated. 1 It never does auy good, and frequent- i ly has caused us to elect an inferior ' council. Our citizens, even before the colored element were allowed to vote, I did not choo.se to shut up the dram I shops, and it is not reasonable to sup- ] pose that the "Dry" men could with ' a divided white vote win against a solid black vote in favor of the "wet ' ticket." For this reason, we think it worse than foolish to agitate the question at all. While we are a temperance man, and never touch it our- 1 selves, we are led to believe that whiskey is a necessary evil. No commercial town can prosper without having it for sale in its business marts, ft is an'article demanded more or less by nine tenths of the peopie, and if we do not keep it for sale the trade and business of the county will naturally yo to other towns. The farmers will > ?> ? 11 go with their cotton unu ouier piuuuw where they can buy whatever they want. The trade of Abbeville is now low enough, but if we were to stop the sale of whiskey it would be still further curtailed, and the property of the town be depreciated in value. 4^ If we are true to ourselves and the country, the Democrats will take possession of this government alter ^November. If we allow the negroes to lord it over us, we deserve to be kicked through the land by Africans. They have been unreasonable and have levj led high taxes on us without our eonsent, and their dishonest officials have stolen the money, We deserve all this if we are willing to submit to it. When they see us in our might determining to assert our rights they ask us to be quiet and promise to steal no I more (or reform, which is the same, ' thing.) j The Work of the Republican Meeting. The Republicans of this township ! held their meeting in tne senooi nousei on yesterday to elect delegates to the County Convention which meets at I Abbeville on Friday next. Below we! give the names voted for. The ten receiving the highest number of votes were elected: W. M. Pope, 1")G. I Lee Smith l-r>4. | C. K. Bruce, 14!i. W. H. Shives, 11!). | George Ilichey 145). i I'eter Harrison 141>. | (r. W. Foster, ! J. H. Titus, 144. | i - > f?amuei tunes , Robert Fisher Mi Robert Tolbert 34. K. C'ain 34. W. M. Fressley 30. Thos.

From the above it will be seen that j the Bruce faction were in the ascendency. i The following resolutions were a-1 ilopted: Jiesofved, That the Republicans ofu Abbeville Township in mass meeting! i assembled, recognize the importance I if selecting none but good men for of-1 < (Ice, .State and County. 2d. That while we leave our ueie^a-1. tion untrammeled we would at t he 11 same time urge them to use every lion- * ?st effort to secure the renomination of s lie Hon. Daniel H. Chamberlain as 1 lie Republican candidate for Govern- * i Attempted Assassination. We learn that three persons went to [ he house of Mr. Wesley Cromer on . Sunday night, and called for him to i pen his door, which he refused to do. t L'hey then lired several times through ' he window at him, shattering the .? jlassiuhis face without doing other r iamage than to make slight flesh . vounds. The door was afterwards iroken open when he was again fired ipon without sustaining injury. Mr. ! Jromer returned the fire and the par- \ ies left. A greater outrage has never c >eeti attempted in Abbeville County. I dr. Cromer is a quiet and inoffensivelt nan and a worthy and prosperous cit- f 7,en of reputed wealth, and the ob- [ ect of the intruders was doubtless obbery. Mr. Cromer thinks lie , ;nows (lie names of two of the par- ; ies. llecallcd to them and told them . ic knew their voices. There was one vhite man, and two negroes in the as- , aulting party. | ISIr. Cromer brought his money to j own on Monday, invested SI 0.50 in aj louble-barrel shot-gun, and depoosit-|o d tiie balance in one of the safes in.' J own. Should robbers go for the old] li nan now, they will get no money, but I f nay be interviewed by one of the best ji hot guns in the county. Mr. Cro-j icr's house is now a regular armory, ud lie is prepared to do some excel- '} ;nt shooting. 1 v Erskinc College. o We take much pleasure in asking lie attention of our readers to the adertisemeut of this old and honored restitution of Abbeville which apcars in another column. This is ^ eally a good College and deserves to j, e patronized by every young man in ibbeville County who seeks an excel;nt education. The high character 61 f the President and Professors is too 11 fi.ii i.-iioiuii tw.fwl jinv word nf cii- V >gy from us. The libraries are full, | ie" balls spacious and inviting, the| istruments first class, the surroundlgs pleasant and agreeable, while the ^ toial atmosphere isreliLing and ele-L, uting. As an evidence of the moral aining and elevating eU'ects of the 0 liissic. halls of the institution a f whiclt Abbeville county is > proud, we would mention, that iree or the nominees of the Demo- b atie party of this county for the Leg- u lature are graduates of fcrskiue. v\ As a man is educated, so his infill- b ice is increased, and he is elevated i the social scale in proportion to his Ivaneement in letters and the tine rts. (iive your sons an education and . will be worth to them a thousand t, mes more than its cost, l'oor boys, it It an ambitious spirit, should get an lucntiou, even if they should be com- a idled to go in debt for it. a * o? ^ Tl?e Public Meeting. "We learn that the Committee of Ar- j-( ingements contemplate havingthe iceting on the 17th at the Fair r rounds, distant nearly a mile from >\vn. We have not carefully looked ilo the matter, hut we are disposed to ppose having the meeting so far b way. It seems to us that there is noj a lace more suitable than the grove j ei ear the Depot. We have always had p 11 r meetings there, and we see no ood reason for changing now, but ( now of some good reasons wby it | liould not be held at the Fair Grounds : 'here is but one direct road to the j? 'air Grounds, and a part of this thoru^hfare is quite narrow, with deep ullies on both sides, and the great t] umber on horseback, will make the Sl - alk exceedingly disagreeable to pe- <| estrians, and wiil, in consequence, j, revent. many from going at ail, and nd will force those who go, and have lot horses, to take u long, dusty, fa iguitig tramp. !11 ? IticirfT.?We learn that some of the ? nerchants are contemplating the proiriety of withholding aid from every mm or who neglects to sow outs and larley this Fall. This is right, and we rust that every one will carry out the F dan. We regard it a shame for any nan pretending to he a fanner to he n een going into the stores begging the ? nercnant to credit him for what he j| hould have produced on the farm. It s evidence, clear as Holy Writ, that here is something wrong when a o nan will put his stuck in the stable at > his season of the year and idle away 1 lie time that should be employed iii owing oats, barley and turnips. Go o your merchant now and he will 1 fladly furnish yon with the needed c leed oats, barley, &c., if you arc ma- 1 cir.g an honest effort to live within ,our income. Fkke Luxcit.?Somebody put up a 1 lotice on the Post office on Momlay ast that Mr. J. A. Wier, the lucky nominee for School Commissioner, 1 .vould give a free lunch to all his J xiends at the Hotel at one o'clock. 1 When about five hundred went down, Mr. Wier took great care to explain to t Jiera that it was a joke that somebody t Imd played on him. He was not j)re- a pared to give the lunch. Council Nomination*.?The"Rads ' have madethe following nomination : i Intendant?C. W. Guftln. Wardens ? John Patton, Elijah ( Whitlock, T. B. Milford, and Benje- , man W. Hughes. The Democrats have put up a ticket with which they intend to beat that ' ticket, as follows: 1 For Intendant?W. H. Farker. Wardens?T. P. Quaries, J. F. C. DuPre, J. W. Sign and A. Bequest. Our energetic and wide-awake townsman, Mr. A. Bequest, has been , appointed chief of the tire department of Abbeville, and has formnly taken possessisn of liie ladders and buckets, us well as the lire extinguisher. Yesterday evening he was experimenting with the extinguisher, which worked quite satisfactorily. A better selcc-' tjon than Mr. A. Bequest could not have been made. He is always at his post, full of life and energy. Whiuj our farmers refuse or neglect to sow oats that can be raised fifteen cents a bushel, is it any wonder that they are poor when they give a Hen on the cotton crop to buy corn at $1.30? A simpleton might answer this question. Fl-AO PRF.SENTATIOX.?Miss Rahb, tlirough Dr. Bonner, presented a beautiful flag to the Rifle club at Due West on Saturday iast. Dr.| Robertson, the Chairman, responded in a good speech and turned it over to Mr. J. W. Haddon," who received it and replied in an appropriate speech. Colored Democratic Club.?Ed Henderson, .1 good Democratic colored man, is raising a club among the colored men at this place. and now has the names of fifty-seven of his race who have signified their intention to join his club. Henderson is an honest man ami a good worker, and full protection and support will be given to him an-l his party. They will parade on the 10th when Hampton and the other speakers come. Thanks, Friends.?The kind words and congratulations spoken lo u.s on Sale Day, together with some .substantial support, was truly encouraging. Our friends will accept our thanks with the assurance that we will take the greatest pride in making an honest effort to give them an interesting paper. We make no boast, but will do our best for thesubscribers of the Press and llaancr. TiiEUEwill be a basket picnic at Greenwood on Friday next commencing at ten o'clock. A large crowd of ladies and gentlemen are expected to be there. General McGowan, Colonel Colli ran, and the county nominees of the Democratic party are expected to address the people. R. 11. Hemphill, Esq., will open the ball. Tim PiroKNix.?'We are glad to see the Phcenix enlarged and improved. We hope its future may be bright and prosperous. It is now a five column ; raper, and gives a good amount of reading matter, both editorial and selected. There is not much that es- i japes the observation of the P/uunix. The Labor Reform Association ; lave passed some wholesome res- i dutions in reference to some ob- < 'treperous brethren of this com- nunity. The axe is raised to :hop ofF other heads in their turn. So use to nurse and warm the adder , o bite your own breast. j The first bale of new cotton was | rought to Abbeville on the 31st of i \ugust, by Mr. W. N. Ransom.

J The College Session commences on ? he first day of October, aud closes on lie first Wednesday of July. The iession is equally divided, without in- _ ermediate vacation, into two Terms: he second commences on the third londay of February. It is very important that students hould enter or return to College a he beginning of the Session, since I n absence of a few days at a time, /hen a new branch of study is comnenced, seldom fails to embarrass the -i rliole course, and some are uuable to I uake up the loss. A EXAMINATIONS. I Students are required to stand a writ- c en examination on every branch or 2 extbook completed during the whole t onrse. The intermediate examina- v ions occur irregularly through the s ear, as the different branches or sub- c sets are finished.?The final exaiuina- fc ions covering such brauches and sub- J sets as have not been previously fiu- t shed, begin on Thursday before the c irst Wednesday in July, and close on I lie following Tuesday.
