The smrtkc has ]< f faded away, tho dust ha' settled flown, oand we can look oveV the field an.1 count p the dead and wounded. Such kmfunrje " might have 6cen fitting in the opening P sentences of a leader cn the election two >' years ago, for the election in '7<> was n indeed a battle, long-continued and ' doubtful, though finally triumphant for :l the democracy. But after the election ofj SI '78 our opening words are mock-heroic j 0i h and inapplicable; for there was 110 battle. n ; at all. It was only a sham-lfcht, a detn|r onstration, a peaceful parade and march-, ft past, in which all the soldier.* belonged j e W to the siimo army, and the enemy was ' [' 1 nowhere. This was peculiarly the case: I with the election last week in Abbeville j1' ft- County, as will be seen from the tabular; ^ 8tateurc?"t of the voters contained in " another columo,-frtTT^h we published in Js' our little Extra of last Thursday. total democratic vote polled in Abbeville -s &}' County on the 5th November was 5^7.j The total republican vote was 3 for con-j ^ te. gfeasman and 2 for the county ticket.)'11 This majority, peacefully and fairly won,' r< places Abbeville ahead of ail tho countie* ? South Carolina in this election,?except !l v Edgefield, a county th:xt lays herseif out i not only to beat the radical.-), but also to) get ahead of tiie democrats. Edgefield; 4 plumed herself so much on her "bij:(? nuyority" in 76, and claimed so much i account of it, that it is not surprising sh< ; did not wish to come down from herj lofty position as the Biggest Majority ( w County, and therefore took two days t<. j w count the votes and thus keep her old j d place. We suppose she will claim as lioi V due the United States Senatorship, theib ('^ Speakership, and a few other "ships." j u : Election day in Abbeville County wasi,, marked by the quietness and good order! h that prevailed throughout our borders. I e The most diligent search of Hayes and e, '? Devens even .with a microscope, would fail to discern any caso of iutiundation, j d ku-klnx, or shot gun policy. The voter*,: * white and black, came up to tho ballot- i u box at i;he various precincts, quietly de-' i; posited their votes and returned home, un We should like to ask the pious saint who j <> edits Harper's Weekly, if the election in ! h the pious North passed off a* quietly.! >$; y Referring to the campaign in South Car-! < olina in his last issue, ho spoke of the1 n j,?*'South 8-S "a next of hopeless barbarian." | ?( These bo strong words, and, barbarians' t "^N^iotrglT wo be, wo think tlictn wrong I it words. The South never hopes to attain ! j; to the height of civilization, the iinmacu- i t; late morality*, the supreme intelligence, c and the purity in politics and piety which j ; form the heritage ot the happy North, o but we humbly doubt if the election in fj Massachusetts the Blest, for instance, ? were as quiet, peaceful and well conducted ; j as here in the "nest of hopeless barba- j ii rlsm," To say the least of it, wo did : u pretty well for barbarians, and Harper's j a Weekly need not think our case so "hope- a losjs." v . ... The prevailing unanimity was wonder- fi ful. A. glance at the table of votes will show that between the highest vote and the lowest tho difference was little over :< J hundred. As a consequence, the result of the election here has produced unusual j satisfaction ana content. w.w ,v publicans who, not voting with us, did % C not vote at all, express themselves as * satisfied with the ticket that has been ri f elected. 151 Whore wcro tho republicans? They ? were here, but they were as sheep with-1J( out a shopherd. Ab. Titus and his exec-'lutive Committee, anxious to do their du-! P _ ty but incompetent, acted no better than j'' <RtdLb?cn hirelings who care ^pot for the sheep. X>^KW>H#c<ffwyK'e, the ^_?i?eep were scattered abroad, ov en tSupgli! j, do wolf appeared. Thcro were no iickbl* ; for the republicans. At several polls, thVl 01 ^Atsdical negroes Tnusterod in large uuin-K11 bers, notably at Calhoun's Mills, but fail- j ?' j-j- ing to procure the expected radical tick- ] j'( ets, many of them voted the democratic j'' ticket, and tho rest quietly went to their j > homes. In other sections, tho negroes jvv ^ ^taved iu the fields preferring cotton pick-1 ai lug to voting, and depositing seed to do; 1' ^positing ballots. Our leaders wiil par-j" j i- 'ldon us for adding that it has given usju great pleasure to be assured by men from " .J 'parts of our county that our exposure n * s3h the Pvcaa and Banner of the procced- ^ at the radical convention tho week **ibefore the the'election, contributed in no ?.* small degree to bring about this utter rout ' , of tho republicans. % j? Two years ago, some 7500 votes were t polled in this county ovor 1500 utore than ? at the recent election. This is accounted ! for by the lact that while no doubt every j t' 11-J -Etonian n-dulf Jit I a ^"'WWte vote was puiicu joiMvum, ,... .loast 1500 negroes absUined from voting, j ' 1 . the remaining 2500 voting the atraightout d -'democratic ticket. We give heartfelt o i" democratic thanks to those colored men tl y?* *who voted, for honesty and democracy, s we urge them to continue in well-do- u * iug, keep on their red-shirts, stay in the j r( democratic clubs, and thus prevent oiu-j" fair county and State from falling again in jt( . * 1#80 into llie hands of thieves and rob- j 0 "" bers. v " ?o* fi The Next Congress. *t" from the Columbia Reg- Lj v iaterijr?b8h W8 publish, our readers will l' gee'Ugjjifeour contemporary considers it doubfcfltt^hethor or not the next House a of Rc^m^rHASives will bavo a Demo- " HHflkitio- majority.

I ill our people, vhite and black, feci a an eep sorrow, and send forth a heartfelt;^ ytnpathy to Governor Hampton.

It is 1 }|| onsoling to remember that Governor j so lamptou is a man of unusually robust | f}l!j onstitution, the result partly of a life- no .me of open-air exercise, work and field-; Jjn ports.

I cal lost important subject is the no-fence \\*< iw. The talk of the neces'tity of a con- | ^ itutional convention, tho rf duct ion ofjlin 10 pay of members of the Legislature to fair figure, the abolition of useless of- ilia ces, and all such matters collectively windle into insigniticanco to the people T Abbeville County when compared to U\,' le great need of the fence law. Ninetyix township, we learn, is waiting to see coi hat the Legtslaluio is going to do in jferenee tho whole county, before of lovidg in this matter, as it will cost that jwnship as much to fenue the rest of us fmi ut, as it would ost the county to run a t[,r, lie fence between Abbeville and Edge- *il! eld. Ninety-Six will put tho law in ,AOl >rce in that township at any rate, and our w1' ppresentativcs seeing the great need ol cm lie law f>r the whole county, will not, re arc sure, fail to pass the much needed | pin ct. There are thousands of acres ol ood land in Abbeville county which 1?< mild be profitably cultivated if wo had t;u lie no-fence law in force, which would j''1 i .1 ompel our neighbors to keep their oid kii razor back" sows and their scrub cattle * t home and off our crops.

Whether it was from the ?sence of the col lege, or from the fact of the i Mtion of the Court House, which brought the place the presence of the most diminished luemborsof the legal proiession, that planted this ambition in the people is not me to say.

For instance there is the "Pickens 1 rt," "Fort Charlotte" and perhaps oilier 1 ices of like character, but they were moiv ekades intended for ihe protection of our Izer.s against the incursions of unfriendly iians. Tiic Pickens Fort was located with- 1 the incorporate limits of Abbeville near i spring branch below the depot.

I have seen much of that part of the United elates lying east of the .Mississippi, and I have ailed to observe any ureal difference helttecii' lie people of the cities. The people living in lenseiy populated towns are generally like he br;c;<s in their homes?of the s.une uould,?init of th'i rural population of ihe ari.m.s sections of t he Union, the same can ot be saiti. l,ife on llie farm tends to the levelopment of individuality, and to the lowtit of personal characteristics, while, as Uroti^ham Slid, the corners of thecity njpu.atioii aro worn by tiie convenIionnlitlcs if soeiity. In no county have I found th? tiudaru of uie rural population so high as In Vbbeville County, llie population of our iounty have been marked and distinguished or their intelligence, force or character, and ;r the possession in an unusually large de [i\0 of an tli-.so i|iialiiles wiiicn go to make ip the nobler manhood. ltwwms that we are unconsciously Influenced by our own past history, be that Kood or >ad as it may, and it is perhaps due to the act of our knowledge of the superior nittnioo:l of our ancestors t!i it has stimulated heir descendants to greater efforts and great:r acliieveinenls. While many of our citl;ens in lhc early history of tiie county vroto well, there were very 10.v living beyond he Saluda who could write gramtnailcuiiy or ,peil correctly. My friend General McGowui, came from the other hide of the Saiuda airly in life and was educated elsewhere.

Atsoiuofuture time [ hope lo do so. In 18? the first Court was held at Abbeville I'ourt House, though tne law designating this as a County Seat had been enacted sovural years before. In the same law establishing this a County Seat, the County Commissioners were instructed to build a court house, a Jail, a pillory, stocks and the whipping past. Our present representatives we presume would not d:tre to make appropriations for the establishment of such modes of punishment, though thcreare a number of very good people who believe that such a law Is needed, and not a small number who would bo Improved by such punishment. Then It was thought punishment by the pillory, the stocks, ami the whipping post, was the most eileolive mode of suppressing crime. Among the notable characters of this County wnsJo. 'iilack, a man of limited education but whoso common sense amounted almost to greatness. He was for sixteen years a member of the State Senate, lie seemed not !o care greatly for making money, and while lie was not ambitious he had a great desire to be Senator. His popular manners and good common sense gave him that support which kept him in the office of State Senator until he was elected State Treasurer.

The grants were forfeited for want of performance of the condition. Hut afterwards they fell into the handa of one Salvador, who was a Jew. liis son, Francis Salvador, a bright, well educated young iuhii, came out and lived upoa the laud on Coronaeo creek.

GOVERNOR IIA.flPTON SERIOUSLY INJURED WHILE HUNTING. The Ride to the Meet -- In the* Swamp -- The Accident -- Two; Hours Alone--Help at Last--Thej itight Leg Ltrokcn in Two Places nnd the Ankle DislocnteiI--ConcIition of the I'uticnt. News and Courier. Coi.umbia, S. November 8 ? While hunting deer with u party of friends iu the lower portion of tisls county yesterday, the mule that Governor Hampton was riding becamc frightened and, the bri-lie hi caking, tiu; Governor leaped from the saddle, receiving severe Injuries in his fall, His right lesr was broken in two pl tee.s below the knee with t le bones protruding, and the ankle aho i? iii.iily injured. lie was brought to (Columbia this morning and is now lying nt home. The prospect Is that he will bo coufliicd to his bed lor a long period. i.atbk. Coi.umiiia, November H. ? The following particulars iu relation to the serious accident which befell Governor Hampton yesterday were obtained from a member of his family,' and will be read witli painful interest: The Governor left Columbia 011 Wednesday afternoon 011 ills way to meet a party of gentlemen who had arranged for a deer hunt in the Willeree swamp next day, and had invited him to be present. Spending the nhrht at. the residence of Mr. Spelgner, a few miles distant from the appointed rendezvous, Governor Hampton, next morning, (Thursday,) exchanged ids horse for a younsr halfbroken mule, and proceeded alone towards the place where lie expected to Join the other members of his party. Just before reaching there, however, the pack of hounds, already on hot scent, passing within hearing, and thcGovernor leaving the road followed them until he obtained 11 shot at the flying deer. Soon after this, llndlng himself Involved iu the thick undergrowth of the swamp, he loaned forward and threw his bridle reins over a small limb preliminary to dismounting. At this critical moment, however, the miserable beast which he bestrode suddenly succeeded in releasing the celns from the bough and dashed oil' through the woods, being unable to recover the reins as (Illicitly as was necessary to assure himself against certain injury from violent contact with the trunks or the overhanging limbs 01 the trees, Governor Hampton instantly sprang from his saddle to the ground, alighting upon his feet, but. unfortunately, with so much violence?his weight too falling mainly ti].on the right foot?that both the bones of the right leg were fractured just above the ankle, and the joint itself dislocated. Finding himself thussuddcnly disabledand left alone in the depth of the swamp, the mule too having disappeared on tho instant, and so deprived iiini of the only means of see 1:1 n'g assistance, the Governor had recourse to ills hunting horn, and the gun which he had retained fn his hand, and employed I hem for nearly two long hours in the seemingly hopeless cfl'ort to summon the help which he so sorely needed. Th<J direction of the chase had, indeed, led lie other gentlemen engaged in Its pursuit to within hearing of his signals, but these very common sounds naturally enough failed to attract attention, until the frc'i'iency of the reports of the gun in such an unusual quarter leu cot. momas Taylor to suspect trouble of some kind nml to send u colored man to Inquire Into the mutter. This most providential messenger soon discovered the Governor lying on the ground In the condition described and suffering great pain, and quickly led the party to his side. The trilling circumstance deserves to be noted in this connection that after first administering to his immediate wants, his sympathizing, butadmiring friends quickly observed that the sufferer, with characteristic coolness and nerve, hud utilized the time and ammunition employed in his hours of signalling and suffering by firing at a distant mark, which mari.it was next ascertained, was fairly riddled with balls; or as one of them afterwards a mazed ly declurcd, "he had hit the bullseye every time?" it was now nearly t> o'clock In the afternoon; the accident had occurred about l o'clock; but before a removal could be effected it was found necessary to cut a mush road through the swamp in order to allow the passage of the spring wapon, which had been meantime procured, furnished wltu a mattress, (tnd brought to the nearest point of the road. Tiiis labor accomplished at last tne party started lo Columbia, sixteen miles distant, and reached the Governor's home a little before midnight. Medical assistance had been summoned, and I)r. 13. W. Taylor dressed the injury temporarily. It was found that the famuli bone of thcrl{thtJeg was broken abou six inches above the ankle; that the larger bone had been completely severed lust above its terminus at the ankle Joint, and that the upper end of the lower section had swerved from itsplace, and penetrating tncsurrounding flesh protruded Into plain view. This protrusion of the bone lutd cuubcd considerable lost; of blood. The Governor was now left to the care of his family and friends for the Right. j At an early hour this morning Drs. Taylor, Trezevant and Tallcy, with Ill's necessary apparatus, reduced ti:e dislocation of tl.e ankle. A great deal of force was requisite, the operation being complicated by the attendant fracture. The Governor was kept for some time under the Influence of chloroform, and slept almost nil the remainder ot the day. The latest report Just received Is better than wits expect'-d. If the wounds heal klurliy It Is expected ho may be about on crutches at the end of three or four weeks; If not a longer confinement is imperative. The fact of the accident ha vim; occurred wi?i! nr.t hmitii in Columbia until a late hour last nIjrht,and even then lo only one or two persons. It was quickly rumored and condnned this morning, however, and the paitirtiI news.as ticot! scarcely he said, occasioned general and profound concern in all quarters and throughout ail classify. If was elated at one lime that, the surgeon* in attendance had decided ujion amputating the leg. In view of the serious nature of the injuries it had sustained, but direct inquiry upon this point elicited the Rratlfylni; reply, from an authoritative source, that such an operation is not uecessary nor contemplated. ?<!> THE ROLL OF THE GENERAL ASSE.ilttL Y.
