The nifil-Uritf at Monterey on last Krj- j ' <lay tiiirht was a!i that its mo?.t en'iinsi ? ,.: til! friends COM Id (lave wished. The | crowd was lar^e and orderly ami liberal-1 lv helped in the ellort to rebuild old I lt'Hik v liiver (,'hureh. Col. Aiken was on | hand and delivered an agricultural speech to the farmers present. 11 is speech was very tnm-h the same as that delivered at <Jreenville. fie s'ronirlv nrgcd the repeal of the lien law, and impressed his farmer friends with tin* idea that this esnocinl I:lw tvns i [Iom(1 of :i11 their Woes. - ? - | and moreover he told them that the merchants showed no favors to farmers bill} rather bartered and prospered on their, misfortunes and impeenniosity. lie was! violently opposed to the exemption of factories from taxation, and wo think l"fr his "hearers under the idea that they were; a badly persecuted set and would never recover until they planted less cotton, diversified their crops, and became mere self-reliant, and self-sustaining. After the speech refres nnents of all kinds were sorved. Music and sinning, moonlight strolling, and gentle whisperings, were then in order. A beautiful cake for the most popular young lady] was voted for, and presented to .Miss McCalla, then the crowd dispersed, having j aided a worthy cause, and in a suhstan-i tial and financial way, as appeared by the report of the treasurer who reported $12-">.0(i as clear profit. The ladies who undertook the management of the festival are grateful to their friends for the liberal offerings and return cordial thanks for their generous support. X. Military Review. Last Thursday afternoon, (Jen. A. M. Manigault reviewed the Abbeville Kitles, ("apt. M. L. Bonham, con irinnding. The company appeared in th ir full uniform, and presented a handsome appearance. Quite a number of ladies were on the square to witness the parade, and th.i number of gentlemen, street urchines, and loafersgeuerally, .vas fully up to ex_ pectation. v We had the pleasureof meeting General ^Manigault while he was here, and we KH 'W th i* no one in Abbeville entertains lbr him a higher opinion than wo do. In times of war, officers may at their , nleasuro irrant or refuse the petitions of private soldiers for personal favors, as' tliev may lie prompted liy a kind heart or ruled by a disobliging disposition. On one occasion It was within tlie power of Genaral Maniirault to grant a favor to i lis, and his manner and kindly act so im- ; pressed ns that we never forgot him for it. That little aet of his to it dependent i soldier was no doubt in keeping with his | high character, and the act, which made < ns a life-long friend to him, we doubt ;< not was soon forgotten hv the (Jeneral. i For his kindness in war, we honor him in heace, and whenever we can serve him ' | in any way, he ir ay depend upon the i iVew and Danr.cr for a faithful friend. !j I The lVeal her. For two or three weeks wc have had excessively hot weather, and the sun has ! xhined uninterruptedly for more than ] two weeks. Until yesterday Dveninir, ' the last rain which had fallen iu tiiis ' county fell last Monday was two weeks j Hiro in the White Hall section. At Abbe- i! ville and vicinity very little rain has 1 fallen for * month. As a consequence ! Ihe Held crops hereabout are in a preea- ; rioos condition, while in the gardens ilio I1 Vegetation is almost dead. The ther- j1 mometer has not registered less than ; 1 hinety decrees anv day since the first of j the month, and the present con lition of, the crops under a month's parching sitni! and an almost constant drying wind may be as easily imagined as descnocd. Yesterday afternoon a heavy cloud was!1 to tie seen in the dhection <>f Due Wfst, j* Which later moved eastward in tiiedi-!'. rection of Long Cane, and at du?k wc j had a slight fall of rain. Before night J .the wind blew the dust from the streets 0 hr blinding clouds. } Died. FMhs. YVm. U. Pn\vi;i,i,, of tbo neighborhood of Mt. C'ormel, died suddenly ] on Tuesday of last week. Mrs. J. A.

The Literary Club. i The regular monthly meeting of tlici ; Abbeville Literary CInh was held at the: - '' residence of Capt. L. W. White last Fi i-! day night. Mr. Hugh Wilson, Chairman; Thomas 1*. Colli ran, Esq., Secretary. |' Various visitors were present, among1 others, were Professors Joynes, Hood,! and Ma reliant. The Essayist, Judge! * Cothran, took for his subject, the life of James L. Pettigrn. The essay is one of the best which has been read before theClub, and elicited a most interesting dis-j cussioi^ which was participated in by W.J C. lionet, Ksq.. Judge McfJowan, Hon. A. Burt, Prof. J03-nes, and others. On mo- ! tion of the Hon. A. Burt., the essayist whs requested to furnish the copy of the X essay for publication.

Last Wednesday afternoon at sixi( o'clock, quite a number of the gentlemen ! of the town assembled on Secession Hill1 , nt the invitation of its proprietor, Mr. J. j1 F. C. PnPre, to partake of some excellent watermelons. Secession llillisnat-J ?irally one of the prottiest places in town, . und the owner's taste and skill in beauti- 1 fying it, has made it indeed a charming place. It is a popular resort for the , young people who often assembled on the grounds beneath the shades of the;, trees, or in the Summer House in which the visitor is canopied by the most beau- ( tiful vines and (lowers. The crops grow- j ing there, and the line blooded stock, which are to be seen there also attest the: * taste and liberality of Mr. DuPre. A DIFFICULTY occurred at the brick ! kiln at Due West last Saturday, in which j Mr. Thomas Anderson was somewhat injured by being struck on the head with a brick. During the difficulty Mr. Anderson was shot at three times, one ball glancing olf his forehead, making only a slight wound. Messrs. Marion Bell and his sous Samuel and Ibzan urn charged with assault and battery with intent to kiii. i ne warrant was issued i?y trial i k Justice Young. The parties were not ur- 1 ^ rested up to Monday night. We are greatly indebted to Prof. Jas. I S.

Without his assistance our re- ' port would not have been anything like ' as good as it is.

I The drought apparently is ivaging war upon our agricultural prospects ami cans- J ing a depressing gloom of despondency j to hover over our once bright horizon of anticipations. Depleted corn cribs, v >id 1 purses, debts incurred in real estate on the strength of last year's "good crops," j increased guano obligations, prodigious ; "time prices" all combined, are b*-trin-; t nirg to cause a ponderous wei-lit to bearupon us and the question naturally suggests itself, what are we to do ?

You j ;ire ever thoughtful to insert local brevi- j ties pertaining to farming business. , Don't persist in your entreaties too iin- i nlorinyly to "sow turnips" until "it ' rains." I don't tliink any remunerating results would accrue from sowing turnips Among corn in bottom land, l'eas are advisable. Enough turnips for consumption can bo produced on upland with proper preparation and culture. Package !>f lour varieties of turnip seed, gratuitously, came to hand in due season from the Agricultural Department. This favor is one among many, time and again, I have received from our distinguished Congressman. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, who is not only eminently n >ted for sterling pialitics of mental vim to coin hat ltd-j inihlican forensic d eputations in the cap- i itol, but also, a heart imbued with a proper sense for hiscountry'sagricultural interest. His standpoints taken not long tince in agriculture entitles him to the appellation?true friend to the farmer. I ini daily reminded of his unbounded j kindness when, I at this time, am tnak-j ing frequent perambulations in niv gar-i leu to pluek the delicious juicy grapes: that are suspended luxuriantly, six yari-1 i-ties, in tempting clusters, from cuttings' received through his generous instru-jr mentality, lour years ago. The Aikenj1 ;rape arbor is the name given as a tribute i" to his memory. I fully appreciate all fa- j8 kors sent.

Frederick I long- j ias< and other colored citizens of the Knifed ; States, believing that a discussion of the > status of tlie negro in Amer'ca, of Ills rights , mid wrongs, would permanently benefit them, ! came to tho conclusion that a National Color-1 i?d Convention would best secure the rights . ilenied and redress the wrongs which have been pcrpet rated upon us as a people. In thecal! for th?* convention the following j fspccilic charges are made: 1. Negro labor at the South Is not fairly remunerated. The Southern negro is not protected by law in the collection of money due him. 2. Inmost parts of the country tho negro ilocs not have a fair show In the public schools. .1. The negro Is not protected in his civil rights, notwithstanding the luws passed by I'on cress. 4. His political rights are Ignored. Six and !i half million of people arc without representation in Congress. 5. The negro does not get his share of ExecHtive protect'on and encouragement. On motion of Mvers, I?. A. str.ikor was Incited to address the convention. Tho orator was escorted to tho stand and introduced, | when tie said he had not any idea of being ;*allcd upon to speak. He was here to give < countenance to the necessity of this gather-, j lug; He hoped to be able to endorse that] which may t>e done by tho convention. The lUcstlon of liberty is settled; the question i | now is the equality of all men before the law.! ] It becomes us to inquire If we are in a poslllon to enjoy all our righis. The convention i it Louisville is not a mere sentiment. The | ouventton is to advance ideas. We are to letermine for ourselves what others have | litiierto determined for us. Thf> negro must | liscuss the tarill' and other issues ol the day ] or himself He must recognize himself as lie equal of all men. Ills known that a cer- < aln party gave the negro his civil rights, ami | iarty fealty will lie held up to the race for heir guide, but the time is coming, and may j I miw vi'hon tho nwfm will tin oncer he recognized as a certain factor In >arty success. The speaker did not th!nk | Nouisville an appropriate place for the N'a- ( ioiml Convention. New Orleans. Natchez. < facksonvllle, Charleston or Columbia woulil | lave heen abetter selection, as in either of hese p'accs would have heen felt the reflex of ( >nr action upon the sources of our oppres- , don. This Is the day of searching inquiry In- | o the question of rights. We have ariived it the conclusion that that which Ik of I lie rreatest importance is that harmony of the 1 aces shoulil exist. Not tlie social bugbear, hi i a unity of races among the races. How is ; his to be brought about? By the lidcpeiidruceof the negro; independence of thought ] mil action. Hraln and Intelligence, not color, will tell j lpon the advancement of a people. He was dad to see that Fred Kousiiass would be at the olored national convention, as he more than j my other colored man could explain the nelesxlty for action and Indicate what that ac- ^ ion should be. The speaker wanted soincliing more Ihnna platform of words from the , louisville Convention. He wanted some- j hing that would be felt and remembered for i Ions time. I.et it be understood that from f he 21th of September next we will stall to ] vork out the destiny of onr race by self-ener- ; :y. The advancement of our race must be by * itid through ourselves. Where would he lace his tinner on that class who did not wish j he negro to rise? Surely not In the South ,lone, but among those who have always pro(aimed that we never should have been j laves. The address was not short, but It was xceedingly moderate in lone and looked nainly to the advancement of the colored ( ace through ihcirown exertions. Chairman Shrewsbury took the floor ami n trod need a preamble and resolution in ref-; rence to Ibe convicts, in which lie condemnd In strotiK langu?\jfe cruelty toconvicts. sur- . ounding the charge with the bitterest words f description that he could command, and c ailed for a repeal by the Legislature at lis / lext session of the law which permitted the ease of convicts to corporations.

(.1 u:/ust(i Chwtitirlv <nnl ConstUutionnlixt.) For sonic time pnM Hit; Augusti\ and Knoxvllle Huilroad has lieeii a variable and an Intcreslln-f (|ii:iutlty in railroad circles and in the rinancial world. Tire failure of this prominent line to meet the interest upon its bonds in January and July last lias brought the enter prNe into public notice, and speculation Iiiih been indulge 1 in as to Its nrohnble fate. I At one tirn? i t was liinted tlisit a private company was tormina t<? control the road, and another I hut two railroad Kvndhntrs were endeavorii)'.' to feciice it afl a f<j.der. Meanwhile. every eflbrt. has been made to save this valuable property from foreclosure, absorp-} tion and sacrifice. The eity iiad subscribed KV'.ikiiI to seen re its completion, which the municipal authorities were in no hurry to give up. and many hundreds ol dollars had hem yiven hy private partie? who Were mixioti.-i to realize boinuthin^ from the investinenl. The importance of the line was admitted. lUisiness steadily Increased; the management operated the road with care, skill and economy, and every possible dollar from the earnings was saved. Still It seems that to meet the current expenses of the road and to pay up the double deficit on its Stt'lO.Otit) of bonds were more than the line, as at present built and bonded, could accomplish, the difficulty being that the road was too young to sustain Itself under these extraordinary expenses. Last Jan nary, alter the tlrsl deficit, the friends of the road, the largest stockholders In the enterprise, hopeful of Its ultimate success and confident of its value as a freight and passenger line, ndva.iced the amount of the rirfct deficit to save the road's property from seizure and sale, and the enterprise tided over till July. At that time, however, although the road continued to do well, the company found themselves In the same pre dicainent and that period, passed with a double set of coupons outstanding as debts] against the property. This time the stockholders were unable lo come to the rescucand speculation was rife as ttie next move in this mutter. Meanwhile, the bondholders seemed to feel no alarm. Confident that the road was over anil over again good for the amount of Its delicit and-bonded debt., no evidence of foreclosure was detected and every one seemed Inclined to give the road a chance to save the stock and secure the control of t lie line for the city of Augusta. On the first of July, however, anew feature was presented. Almost impcrceptlblv a movement in the bond market began. Large lots were bought tip at fair prices, and as the demand continued constant i and steady, much more since then has been nut upon Hie market, and from time to time heavy purchases made. So general have these transactions grown, that they attracted much attention In the bond and money market and brokers have been quite animated over the matter. Inquiry by the Chroniclr developed the fact that. .Mr. John Jay Cohen had been quietly and effectively managing the afTalr. fie had purchased quite a quantity of t he bonds at So, at which free ollerlngs bad been given, but it was not as yet understood for what purpose the purchases were made. Anxious to find out more about the matter, the Chronicle yesterday approached Mr. M. J. Verdery, knowing tlint with his usual alertness and clear-headedness lie had mastered the Interesting subject, and confident that from this intelligent source the matter could be clearly imparted. The fViro/itWraccordlnglyasked Mr. Verdery what the stir in A. <fc K. bonds was about? Mr. Verdery confessd that there had been quite an agitation in these securities,as home people seemed to be selling out the buuds ( quite freely. "Kxactly, but why?'' "The explanation of this movement," said Mr. Verdery, ' must, for the present rest more upon reasonable suspicion than upon absolute Information." "Who are paying for the bonds ?" "Circumstances point to the formation of a combination of capital gotten up outside of the city. Who compose it and where the headquarters are must be for the present matters of absolute speculation. The purchase. Jim. Jay Cohen, the agent at. this place." The combination seemed to have fixed upon the price they were willing to pay and at present their position towards the road seems to be strong and Impregnable. It Is well known that the last payment of the January coupons was not made from the road's stir plus, hut was advanced by the friends of the i enterprise. Since that time the earnings of the road have been devoted to the cancellation of that debt. On the first of July the road again found itself without funds to pay this interest, and the friends of the company thistiinedid not come up to supply the defl- , cit. Now, then, these two sets of coupons.; stand out as claims against the property of the road and are of equal dlcniiy with the ' bonds. This accumulation of debt has probably discouraged the holders of the bonds, and when this combination sent Its azent upon the market, who Invited, although be did not press tlietn to sell, some of the largest owners readily unloaded. As a bondholder. Sir. Verdcry, would you j sell ? . I I have sold and have udvlsed others to do, the same thing. As I have Just remarked, some of our largest holders have closed out. The combination have already a large number of these bonds In their possession. Now I j reason this way: Suppose the outsiders? those who decline to dispose of their bonds? | mamme to provide for the interest on the bonds before October 1st. the expiration of| their grace, the combination or syndicate, i with Mils lurne amount of bonds in thiHr pos .i..? .. III I .. untrnn nnr I cent, security which they have purchased con- j sidcrably below pur. There they have the j advantage. If, however, thove who hold, can- j not meet this Interest, the combination can ! foreclose the mortgage and force the sale. Then, having these bonds, bought below par,; this syndicate can allordtoput up more at; the sale than all competitors up to that point where mure is hid for the road than the bonded debt amounts to, when they will still i have an advantage, reaping the benetlt aceru-! lug to their bonds. Now, say they purchased | the road at $100,000, having already secured i 5HK),00:j of bonds', they would simply have to ; pay to the bondholders who hud not disposed ' of their interest, a pro rata price, as SJUO.OOO Is to the total Issue of the bonds or i percent. They would thus tiny for *210/1(10 o? I outstanding bonds at 51-W.MH. Now these j jM'to.OOi) worth of bonds a(. wouUl cost lliem 1 SI 10,0;Ki. The total cost of the road would, thus be only SISO/NK). The smaller bondhold-j ers are then scarcely able to protect lliem selves against tills combination. The mo-' meat the outside bidders bid more than K5 per cent, of the bonded debt for the properly, i they pay the combination a profit on what I bends It lias purchased. If they cannot dot this, then they should accept the present otter I ot'Ni for these securities, ilolders of these! bonds should, in my opinion, sell now, while I the opportunity is uttered, for the order for these bonds may give out when the limit is reached. After that there may be no sale of these securities at all. Do you think any railroad corporation Is behind this movement? Mr. Verdery answered that he did not. What is the object of this agitation? Probably a purely speculative enterprise. On the streets considerable Interest is shown in tliis movement. In many places It is confidently believed that the Central Hull load is the power behind the movement, and it is belli tilling to be recognized that the A.and K. will possibly at an early day fall into this lyslem of roads. At all events, the eflort seems to be to buy up the road and make the after appreciation of the property pay oil' the debt of the company. United Stales Jurors.
