To grral energy of character, he tn.ind

which gave value to his judgment Hs suc
cess ia the various avocations of life, is the
best evidence of this quality. Bat it was not
good judgment, and untiring energy* only,
which marked him as a man ; above and su
perior to these, were the domestic virtues,
which a*, last, arc the highest adornment ol
character. In private life, Mr. Gregg tunde
himself a host ot' friends, bv his genial man
ners, his kind-.ess of heart, and a libera;
charity, which his atr.p'e means enabled bim
to indulge. His ear wa.-, ever erne:; io the cn

at the bead of the factory, and as agent lo:
ot ?er-\ was a responsible and delicate ouc.
We.*cm bear witness to the struggles and
sicriilji.-s which he mad'? to alleviate tho gen
eral distress of the community;-and undo
served censure was ofte.-i given, when ttnre
quited services had been rendered, ' hts is
the willing testimony of ose who bas known
him long and well.
The village of Granitcville is a monument
to his memory. The designing, superinten
dence, and skilful management of its mechan
ical operations, aud the ability displayed in
its financial affairs, have given him a wide
reputation, and secured the confidence of the
stockholders ; but to the inhabitants of the
tovn which bis laboura have built up, he i>
be'.ter known a-> the kind benefactor, wh(.
took a deep interest in their welfare-provi
dod schools for their children, churches for
worship, and neat, substantial and comforta
ble homes for themselves. They honoured
him in life, and paid a just tribute to bim in
his death. He died a professing Christian,
aud his mortal remains rest in the beautiful
cemetery which overlooks the village of Gran
neville. The entire population turned out to
do him honour. As the funeral cortege, ap
proached the cemetery, the school children
and factory operatives were assembled. Tht
wjole crowd stood with uucovcrsd heads, as
the procession passed through, and many a
moist eye attested the sorrow whi:h was felt
by the heart.
An open way was formed through which
thc procession passed to the grave, the males
oa one side, and females on the other. As
the body was borne slowly along the line, the
children chanted a hymn, until the head of
the nrocession reached the grave. There it
w; s taken in charge by thc pall-bearers, and
placed in its last resting place-a vault buil:
for thc purpose. The solemn and impressive
burial service of thc Episcopal Church was
read by Hov. Mr. Shand of Columbia, and his
body committed to thc earth. He now rests
from his labours in sight of the monumen; he
has built to bis memory.

Thc Cause of Re-actiou
Thc Now York Express has the following:
If our Republican cotemporaries would but
try to be honest, for ''just once," they would
be" obliged to acknowledge that, over-riding
all local issues, thc general result of these
elections means:
First-That thc people are tired of Repub
lican rule, and are longing for a change of ad
ministration.
Sacnd-Convinced that radicalism is run
ning into Jacobinism, md persuaded that to
Outiuuc the Government in the hands of the
el ?ninant party is to bring on new civil war
and uew revolutions, they are resolved to
bright about that change.
Third-That thc people, groaning under
an al inns', insupportable load of Federal and
Statu debt-- the legacy, in part, of profligacy
an 1 fraud-arc alarmed at thc additions that
are making to it by Congress for thc support
of military monarchies aud negro bureaux in
lue Southern Staten.
Fourth-That thc people arc beginning to
rjbel against thc high tariff lords of Massa
chusetts and Pennsylvania, who, under the
swindling pretence of protection to American
home industry, have shut up their ship-yards
on the sea coast, and cou-.peiled the farmer,
the mechanic and the workman to pay tribute
to a selfish, soulless and all-grasping oligar
chy, now "governing" through the instru
mentality of a rump Congress.
Fifth-That the dariog and oft repeated
violations of the Constitution by the pirtv in
power, together with their attempts to absorb
in their own bands the functions of all the
other departments of the Federr.1 Govern
ment, have persuaded the people that thc only
way to save their liberties and t ? preserve the
f jrms even of free Government, is to turn the
conspirators and usurpers adrift.
Sixth-That the popular heart is beginning
t) warm once more to the good old Demo
eratic party, that administered the Govern
ment so long and so well, and whose exit fran
power, under a whirlwind of sectional fanati
cism, opened thc door to a civil war, which
sent the flower of our American youth to un
timely graves, arid executed a three thousand
millions mortgage upon labor to capital, to
discbarge which will koep the white laboring
man in a condition of positive slavery for a
whole generation to come.
These now are but some of the causes which
were at wor'c to render inevitable thc revolu
tion in j.ubi c sentiment at the far West and
the far fast. There are others of a kindred
character wh:cb might bc specified, but these
will suffice. They will suffice, also, wo feel
e:ertain, to work a corresponding change of
mind in tho States which are to pronounco
judgment upon thc revolutionists, the conspi
rators and the terrorists, bet ween now and the
next session of their appropriate mouth piece
and orgau, the rump Congress at Washington.
r?y A Washington dispatch says : " Senator
Wado writes to a friend in this city that ho will
introduce, tho first day of tho next session, a Bill
ti repeal tho Act organizing Utah as a Territory,
Ho says thc action of the Mormons in denouncing
tho Government as tyrannical and unjust most bo
piniahed by a prompt euppraasion of polygamy.
Haring abolished slavery, Senator Wade ?*ys the
next great measure of the Radical party is io
abolish Xvm?f?m." ?
" To be, or not to be ! That is the qnos'.ion !"
[HAMLBT.
In all the Southern Slates, the registering
orlered by the military acts is nearly com
ploted; and in two of them, the election for?
convention is to be beld by the registered vo
ters, during the ensuing month. The ques
lion uow properly comes up for considerador
-what course should the white race in th<
South pursue ?
l'y the exclusion of a portion of the whit'
population from registry, and by the admis
stow of all the black,-a majority of blact
voters is recured in four States. How manj
of the other six States in the South, may b(
placed under negro rule, by the aid of white
ufhiiatioUj lime only can show.
It is impossible to exaggerate the dai.gf*rs
?hieb now bang over the South. Some o
the Northern people, doubtless, do not realize
thc cruelty cf forcing a erntest between thc
negro and thu white races, for the political
mastery of thc South. They profess to se<
n ? rta-on -why white men and negroes, should
not mingle in peace and friendliness together",
i.i the halls of legislation-in tho jury-box
at the polls-or in the muster field. A black
man, a:id a white man is the eame, hut forbid
skin. Tho great majority of the Norther:
people, however, know better than this. Thej
know that there are one hundred and twenty
dilFerences iu the mere physical -trueturo ol
the white and the black man;-and that in
their intellectual and social endowments, thc
difference is still greater. The despotism ol
thc military act? was rot put over the white
man of the South, to elevate the negro over
him-because thu negro J'S his equal hy nature
-but because he 'wnot his.equal. The exul
tation-the gratification-is in the humilia
lio.i, a.-.d mortification of the white race,
torced u;,der the heel of the inferior race ol
the negro. They expect conflict. They know
perfectly well, that wita anything like equal
number.'", the negro cannot rule thc ?hilo
man. S<U>j -Ction or extermination, is certain
ta thc- black. But tte fiendish spirit which
gets up thccontlict. Irom Late or policy, can
uo". bu expected to bc indifferent to its throes.
It wiil rejoice, to perpetuate the convulsion
au? blood, it expects to produce. To avoid
>t, ts impossible, if their policy prevails.
Their policy, however, may not prevail. It
eau not prevail without the aid of the South
era people. Negroes and Northern Radicals
cannot erect and carry on a government over
?Le Southern peop'e, which they refuse bi
acknowledge or support. It will be dead,
before it is born. S-ippo^e, for instance, that
?he white people of Sjutii Carolina refuse
either to vote l'or a conven;ion, or to have a
*in;:le representative in the convention, lt
is tilled with Northern Radicals and negroes ;
and they make a constitution and govern
ment for the Sfa'e ot South Carolina. Can
they enforce it ? If left to themselves, we
doubt if a single can Mdate for a single office
?o carry it out could bc found. How loug
will it stand 1 Just as long, as brute force
can perpetual it, and not a day longer. If
it is enforced by the military power of the
United States-very weil. South Carolina
will be no State, but a military satrapy. Can
this last under the Constitution and Govern
ment of the United Slates ? If so, the negro
rule will soon cad. ? lie general military
de-potism which must dominate over all the
United States. Rut if this does not take
place, then the negro and his white coadju
tors, must face the white people of South
Carolina for the mastery of the State. Tueie
will be but two pirties,-the negro party,
and the white man's party. We have no
doubts of the result; but ought vre of the
white race, to make ourse-lves in any way in
strumental in bringing about such a conflict?
It is doue by a military despotism put over us ;
-shall we aid this despotism in its purposes ?"
It is done in hate to us;-shall we gratily the
malignity, which seeks to debase us? It ia
done to ruin our country forever ; shall we
with our own bands, help to tear down "the
fair structure of order, civilization and liberty,
bequeathed to us by our gallant ancestors?
The course for the white people of the
South to pursue, with respect to the future
operations of the military acts, seems to us
most plain. Let them Lave notniog further
to do with '.hem. Let them neither go to tho
polls, nor accept of auy position whatsoever
in their enforcement. By our rcitisfration,
we have accomplished the object of increasing
the majority required to hold the convention.
Without a majority of the registered voters,
it cannot be held. And now, whether we
vote against a t jt:vention. or vote not ai all,
'he result ?3 the same, against a convention.
A despotism decrees it-let this despotism
carry it out. We should compromise our
selves in no way by supporting it. Our time
will come. Thc Northern people, are waking
np to the ruin, convulsion and blood, ihe
"destruction acts" must bring upon them
selves. Our hope is in their enlightened self
interest ; but our fate if evil, cannot be pecu
liar. Our ruin will be tho destruction of
free government in the world, with the fair
fame of an enlightened and gallant effort to
prever t it. Their ruin, will be the voluntary
debasement of tho tyrant and slave, whose
very s icccss renders him eternally infamous
for evil. Let u? wait. If we do perish by
resistless power,-better that, with the con
sciousness of beir-g innocent of our own de
basement and ruin, than to crawl beneath the
feet of thc negro and Radical, like a poor
earth-worm trying to hide its slime from the
3un.-Charleston Mercury.
Gov. ORR.-Of the too many South Caro
linians who are ambitious to make them-clves
detestable in the eyes ol honest men of their
own generation and of all posterity, Governor
Orr hes taken a step which gives him the
foremout position. He glories in his owu
shame and the oppression of h?3 people.
There was no species of humiliation and petty
tyranny that tlie inflated satrap, Sickies, did
not resort to, to overthrow . the rights und
crush cut the manly spirit of South Caroli
nians. He insulted and degraded them in
every manner possible, and to this end, tho
military bills being insufficient for bis diaboli
cal purposes, he resorted to unblushing usur
pation, that cost him his position. The Gov
ernment was shocked by his outrages and
dangerous assumptions, yet this man Orr, in
stead of mingling his congratulations with
those of his people upon the removal of the
heartless tyrant, absolutely runs after him as
ho disappears, throws himself at his feet,
thanks him for his outrages aud wrongs, and
sheds tears of " regret" that an end has been
put to the sufferings of his own people. Whore
must such men stand in history? How dei'p
and damning the execration aud contempt
that must come up to the mpasure of their
deserts !-Macon Telegraph.
THE SALE OF LAND - DeBow',s Review con
tains a reprint of Geneal Wagoner's addrc-s
to land-holders of this State on the suljec: of
immigration. The editors say, in reference- to
the register of ?ands for s ile, " while wc think
many of the parlies tendering their lands for
sale have not caught the right spirit, and ei
ther offer their lands iu tracis too large for
the emigrant, or at prices which aro beyond
his means, yet in a majority of cases the let
ters show an enlightened spirit of liberality,
which we trust will bc geuerally imitated
throughouut the South.'*
This is a thing to which attention must be j
paid. Land cannot be sold in large tracts
to actual settlers, and the true principle is,
t? re'll in small quantities, at low pi ices.
The profit must not be expected to come
from the first sale. It must, come f.*om the .
increased value of the land reu;rv-d, which
will rise in value in tho market in proportion
to the increased density of the population,
caused by immigration. There are but few
planters who cannot well afl'ord to sell 100 or
200 acres at a tempting price, and still have
more left than they can properly cultivate.
These are the persons who can oller the prop- 1
er inducements to the immigrant ; and they
will bave their neighborhood sottied up, .
and their property doubled in value, while '
those who will not seil allow one-half or two- '
thirds of their land to be altogether unpro- 1
ductive. Cut up the farms, keep the prices
down, and make your natural advantages .,
known, and immigration must come.-Char- i (

a fearful record !
And to this grim result have the mad scher
of fanatics come at last. They hounded thc cu

was deluged in blood, ard more than ono quar
of the poor creatures for whom this terrible s

No Yellow Fever in Charleston.
Wo rejoico to read the following, and hope thu
many a country merchant, hitherto deterred b;
these mischievous reports, will now hie to th

TUB HBALTII or CIIAULKUTON.-We understani
that it is reported in thc upper districts of thi
State that thc yellow fever is raging in this city
It is, of course, presumed that this rumour is cir

lively that there ha? not Leen a ca*e nf yellow feve\

thc welfare of South Carolina. Such unfounded
rumours ns that now alluded to cannot fail, il
uncontradtcted, to do much harm. We hope
therefore, that tho country press will do us tb?,
justice to republish tho statement which is non

Business Hcvivnd in Augueta.
We were pleased to read in the AuguRta Chron
icle ct Sentinel, of TbtirsdHy last, the following in
relation to thc opening of the Fall Train in that

A Good Practical Sermon.
Al far as work is concerned-efforts of enter
prise tending to tho welfare and resuscitation of
our Southern country, and manly exortions to
pr?vido for our own households-the present sea
son is the beginning of a new year.. Now is em
phatically the time for every man to begin his
labors for thc coming year, with high rosolve and
wise forethought. No earthly use to be whioing
so mach and so continually about politics ! No
earthly uso to be forever puling around, declar
ing that the country is going to ruin, that there
is no money in it, that the negro will not work,
that business is dead and buried, and that there
is nothing further to be done ! Six or eight hours
of plough-handle, repoatod daily for six months,
will cure all auch notions.
'Tis not to be denied that the legislation of
Congress is deeply injurious lo every interest, of
the South. But as long as it does not provo: ut:
from work, we should not permit it to make us
despondent. There may be a considerable differ
ence between doiug nothing nt all, because Fed
eral legislation is adverse, und doing as much ns
prudence and resolution will allow under the
circumstances. That Congress is a hindrance is
most truo ; but we can gain nothing but harm by
making it an excuse for omitting anything that
might be dono in spite of its opposition. We
have this distinction to make, and to make it
properly, and act upon it, may require no small
degree of wisdom and strength of charactor. So
much tbe better, if wo aro only found equal to
tho emergency.
But there is a great danger of substituting
abuse of the opposition for effectivo work which
might bo dono notwithstanding the untowardness
of tho situation. Lot us remember the tragic
hero who lost "bia self-respect because ho yielded
to the tompaUtion to cur3e-to unpack his heart
with words-while he permitted un enterprise of
great pith anl momsnttoloso thc name of actior.
Thoso mythical two blades of grass, growing ;
where but one grew before, may bc made an ac
tuaiity in spite of Congress. Tbe wrath of Stevens
dues not shrivel up our inheritance-nor dowe
believe it will ever do so ; neither does tho abuse
of Sumner and Wnde corrupt our clim ito. Tho
sun shine?, ruins fill, winds blow, waters sparkle,
and seeds germinate, albeit Fassenden docs not
bless us. Aud we contrive to live an4 muvo atfd
have our being, notwithstanding the bittor bene
dictio 8 of Beecher, tho poisonous diatribes of
Wendell Pbi'lips, and tho stolen Bpoons of But
ler. Nothing coold gain us the opposition of
vain and viadict?70 men except their belief that
we have some capaoity for usefulness ; and the bent
charity we can show them in return is to proie
to thom that they are not mistaken.
Old Dr. Johnson assures us that "kings and
laws" havo a much smaller influence in causing
or curing tho evils of humanity than is generally
supposed. Thaddeus Stevens, tho king of Radi
calism, who has openly and above-board wished
al! the Southern pcop'e in hell, would no doubt
bo glad to plant thorns in our pilk AS and in our
hearts-to blas', with pestilence and.famine what
has been left from the desolation of war. But
fortunately for the poor old man, as well as for
ourselves, his power fulls ah'?rt of bis desire. Tho
like is also quite as true of his party and of every
other source of mischief, except such as wo
choose to cherish within ourselves; of which, in
our opinion the greatest is likely to be the feiluro
fully to appreciate and command our opportuni
ties, sim; ly because they are somewhat darkened
bj a political situation different from what wo
would havo chosen. No grcator mistake could
possibly bc made.

REGISTRATION IN THE CITV AND STATE.
Tho returns from tho different precincts
throughout tho State, though not complete,
are sufficiently advanced to form an approxi
mate idea of the total.
In the City of Carleston, to the 20th in
slant, 3289 white voters were registered, to
5101 colored; givinga colored majority of
lSl2. ?'hc difjerent districts of the State, as
far as heard from, '.'ive 33,392 whites, to 37,
;?8i"> colored voters; lnavincr a majority in fa
vor of the negroes of 23.994. This, added
to the majority in Charleston, will give them
a clear majority of 25. SOC in the entiro State.
It will be seen, from th?3 statement, that the
blacks outnumber the whites almost two to
one. as but. 26,681 white names were enrolled,
to 52.487 colored. It has been said that
figures never lie, and the result shows a pal
pable want of animation among the whites.

Garibaldi Arrostcd by Order.of Victoi
Emanuel.
FLORENCE, September 24,1867.
General Garibaldi was arrested to day, neal
a small town named Azevabaga, by order 0
King Victor Emanuel.
Garibaldi was engaged in perfecting his
plan of invadion of the Pontifical territory
which embrace.} tho idea of an immediate
march on Rome, after which, if successful
the Eternal City was to be proclaimed thc
capital of United Italy by the leader of thc
?' party of action." Ilia intentions and de
sign were made known to bis adherents, and,
consequently, to. the King's Government in
this city, by the circulation am mgst thc rev
olutionists of a very inflammatory address,
dated and issued from Arrez ) on Suuday last,
the 22d instant.
The issue of this revolutionary paper placed
King Victor Emanuel ic a difficult position.
By the recent convention with France, under
which thc French troops evacuated Rome, he
ia bound to maintain the Papal territory free
from filibusterism coming from Italy, even at
the cost of offending bia progressive friends
among the people.
The King has executed bis treaty oblieation
with fidelity. He replied to Garibaldi's ad
dress by a royal proclama ion, circulated also
ou Sunday, in which bc denounced the Gari
baldi?n movement, cautioned his subjects
against aiding or taking part in it, and de
clared his resolve to arrest and " rigorously
punish" any of bis people who disobeyed him,
ns well as others arrested on the soil of Italy
eugaged in a crime " against thc law of
uatior.s."
By virtue of this proclamation Garibaldi
bas been arrested, and from this act may en
sue the settlement of the long vexed Italo
Rnmao ?nd Papal toinporalit.ios question*-.
The arrest of the General will produce very
considerable excitement, although hisprestige
bas bcon tarnished somewhat in the eyes ol
tho people by the report ol bis procecdir gs at
the Geneva Peace Congress.

Elections in the Military Districts.
The Nalianal InieUxijen?er, of ?Monday,
states that the President and Gen. Gram
held a consultation last week in reference to
tKo posiponement of elections in the South
ern States. It is understood that they agreed
that under the recoustruotiou acts Neither
the Executive nor the General-in-Chief ha>
any control or authority over elections or reg
istration in the military districts ; but it i.
understood they have agreed oz the propriety
of holding elections on the same' day, anci
that it wonld be advisable to suggest the same
to tho generals commanding, uot in the shape
of an order, howevir, but as an advisory com
munication, which General Grant wa3 ex
pected to send.
Information received io Washington, Sunday,
from private sources, leads to the belief that
G meral Mower will postpone the election ii.
Louisiana until the first Monday of Novem
ber next, on account of the yellow fever, and
the cousin rent abs.-nce of roany voters. Iii

Mower will take ac?ou in that direct-on ex
cept upon consultation with Geueral Hancock,
