We knew him well. Our first acquaintance with him was, when he kept a small jeweller's Store in Columbia, and worked at the trade of silversmith and watch-maker, in the yeai 1829. The quality which among many ex cellent traits, adorned h m, wa- his unbending integrity. He was a native of Virginia, and like the generality of men produced by thal mother of heroes and'statesmen, his persona! appearance was without blemish, and indeed beautiful, in early mauhood, being nearly si* feet high aud well proportioned. Hts face wis bright with an expression of thought and kindness, always blooming in health like s fjse. Eroin Columbia, he went to Charleston where for many years, he was in busines with thc Haydens, as jewellers, carrying on t'ie largest business of the kind, in the State Fortune smiled on his efforts, and be founded thc Granitevillc factory, where he established a village. This enterprise gave employment to a large community of poor people, to whom he was a benefactor and friend ; practica1 good sense directed all histff.ri? and crowned t ?em with success. The voters of Edgefielc honored him with a seat in the legislature and in that sphere of duty, he was not found wanting. His speech on the Banks of the Slate, published in pamphlet, shows a clea: head and sound judgment, and proves that be merited the coufidence of a constituency whe had been accustomed to be served by some o the greatest men of the State.-Marior Creaceut. Important Suit--Property in Slaves. Judges Davis and Drummond, of the U.S Court, have a case before them at Chicago involving the legality of slave note?. Ir M?rch. 1802, Lumsden, a citizen of Tennes see, sold to G. H. Roset, of New Orleans, twe slaves, for ?2.100. He received part pay al the time, and took two notes for thc re mainder, payable in four and six mouths aftei dite. Lumsden sues Roset for tho notes His counsel argue that "inasmuch as the con tract was a valid one at the time itwas made the right of recovery upon the note3 was noi affected, either by the Proclamation of Eman cipition, nor by the Amendment to the Con s'itution abolishing slavery ; and that, ur.dei the rules of comity, the Court was bound tc enforce the contract." The defendant's counsel maintain that there was nothing in the Constitution making ii obligatory upon the Courts of States where slavery did not exist to enforce any contract? growing out of or relating to it, or to in any way judicially recognize tte right of the mas ter to thc slave. The institution of slavery was forever abolished, and that when the " central crime fell it carried all its surround ir;gs, incidents, and privileges with it to s common grave." Louisiana, he continues, was in rebellion at the time the contract was made, aud thc negro, so far ast.be U. S. Gov ernment was concerned, was noi a slave. Thc Court has reserved its decision. Judge Drummond remarks: u My impression was that a contract made for that which was a good consideration al tho time in the place where it was made, .should be held good everywhere. The ouly argument, I think, is, that inasmuch as the law which constituted it a good consideration at the time it was giveu, having been de stroyed, that everything connected with the contract has been destroyed also ; that i?, the right to enforce it. If that follows, then, that would be the logic of this case; that where there was a law inexistence, for exam pie, by which the contract was valid, and the Jaw was repealed, if the repeal of the lajv de stroyed the consideration and prevented en forcement of thc contract, it would reaoh this eise. Tho case is so very important thal really it ought to be decided by the Supreme Couri; of the United States. The decision is looked for with in arest North and South.-N. Y. Express. ? ???

This mao, in the prime of bis ability and usefulness, wo honored much. It will bc remembered that he represented us more than onco both in the Legis lature and State Sonate. And as ho was deserved ly honorod by us in life, so will his memory be deservedly honored by us now that he is gone. From the South-West. Wo thank uur young friend, Mr. THOMAS JEN NINGS, son of our former follow citizen Dr. WM. JXNNISGS, who has lately arrived in our midst from bis home in.Galveston, for many valuable and interesting Texas and Louisiana papers. Mr. J. informs us that tho yellow fever in Galvoston, and in Texas generally, has well nigh died out! but only-seoniicgly-for want of material-and afUr thc most fearful and unwonted ravages.

The bouau, without and within, is uncommonly tasteful and comundious; and tho premises have every one of the advantages claimed for them by the advertisement of Messrs. DORN ? JOHNSON. A Day in Augusta. We spont a day, ono short aud hurried day, in the city of Augusta last week', and in connection with tho day's sojnrn we jot down an item or two. 1. Augusta ccvor offered finer iuducunionts in thc various branches of trado than tho docs this fall. The Etoros and shops aro magnificently filled with Raiment, with Provisions, with Luxu ries, with Vanities. 2. The trado and business of tho season are much delayed and deprested by tho untoward fall in the prioo of euuuu, and ny mo general moneyea difficulties of theso uncertain times. 3. Merchants are waiting with great anxiety for thc coming-to-town of their country friends ; in fact, thoy arc keenly on the lookout. 4. Tho consequence is, the briskost possible competition. 5. The manifest intention on the port of sellers, is quick sales for small profits. G. The season being put off later than usual, thc business of tho winter must bc accomplished in a more limited space of time. 7. From these several facts may bo drawn tho conclusion that Augusto, during the coming four month?, will bc a wonderfully fino place in which to get good Bargains. 8. And to ascertain where to get these Good Bargains-and whore to sscure everything that is useful, fashionable and fine-consult our Ad vertising Columns. Don't forget that. 9". An item for ladies. Tho fashionable color is "Bismarck"-a cort of shining, yellowish brown, of almost countless .?hades ; sometimes almost orange, then again almost snuff-color. Hats, dresses, trimming, all Bismarck. Wo thought the rather common goods of tho Bismarck color very ugly ; but tho handsomo ones, on tho con trary, very beautiful ; such as silks, moires, pop ins, Ac. Bonnets very small still, and very much of the same style. Hoops very small. Dresses invariably gored, and without plaits or gathers. 10. For gentlemen, gay youth?, ?tc. The tight pants, so universally the mode at the North, are till not worn in Augusta. Dolightcd to see it; for it is a droadful thing to bo out of the fashion, and tight* are fearfully hideous. Very short sacks. Very low-crowned hats. 11. Augusta has Theatrical Amusoments in progress, and will continuo to have thom from timo to titeo during tho winter. A great resource to country persons visiting the city, beguiling tho long hours after toa, when one can no longer sell nor buy. 12. Augusta has also extremely rxcellent Res taurants and Oyster-Houses for tho delectation of the hungry or greody. 'Tis so delightful for country peoplo to bc befallen oj fresh oysters ! 13. And Augusta has placos whore unwary rustics may easily become heavily saturated with " whiskey straight," and ultimately find them selves deep down in the lowlands. Vcrbum sap ! 14. And spoaking of hard times, it just occurs to us that the people of Augusta are looking re markably cheerful under tho pressure ; which goos to prove that they are a philosophical sort of folks, ns littlo apt to be cast down by adversity as to bo unduly elated by prosperity. 15. Yet, with all their cheerfulness, thoy want money soroly-quito as bad as any of tho rest-of us ; and a gold dollar looks this day as big as a breakfast plato to many of them. 16. And lastly; though it-ought to be first. Augusta bas tho finest and bett Hotel in the Southern country. We mean " Tho Planters," kept by Tuos. J. NICKERSON Esq., a gentleman known throughout South Carolina und Georgia for his eminent capacity in this lino. This House, which, after thorough renovation in cvory depart ment, was opened by Mr. NICKERSON only one year ago, his built up in tho courso of that one year, a most extraordinarily handsomo reputation. At Thc Planter; tho traveler or sojourner will bo suro to find tho -highest dogroe of comfort, the highest degreo of elegance, tho highest dogroo of refinement and polito attention. Mr. NiCKKnso.v himself hos the gonoral superintendence of tho establishment, which, to all who know him, il sufficient guarantee that everything will bo ex actly as it should be. While in the office and at tho desk will bo found Mr. GOLDSTEIN, a quiet and refined gontleman who stands evor. ready to servo tho patrons of thy House with the kindliest efficiency. To our planters, and their wives and families, who will now bo visiting Augusta, wo say most honestly : Ropair to tho Plantors ; and when your sojourn in Augusta is over, you will, without a doubt, confess that The Planter? was its pleasantest and most enjoyable feature. The total number registered in South Ca rolina is ostimated to be 125,000, of which 45,000 aro whites and 80,000 aro blacks. In North Caro lina tho total number is estimated at 174,717, tho , Jproportion in that State being three whites to one j. black. I Voting Upon the Question- of Conven tion. Very much is htiug said in thoso States in which Elections for Convention aro ponding, as to whether votes simply for Delegates (saying nothing about "for" or "against" Convention) nil! bo rtekoUod in the counting nf billots, nr not It is our opinion, that such votes will not be reckoned. At all events, in South Ca rolina and in Edgefield District, where the ?ne groes, ax registered voters, aro so powerfully in the majority, it boots but little to argue tbc ques tion. Our best policy is to ignoro this election i?i toto. Whites and blacks caunot share political pc wer. AU history pmves this. Neither military nor civil authorities can accomplish it. Repug nant to truth, to intelligence, to ruligion, it is simply an impossibility. Better thereforo to let tho nogru see at once that wo will not even at tempt to share power with him. Better that ho should bu taught to realize his true position-lo remain where God and Naturo havo pluce'd h!m It is to be earnestly hoped that our people will sternly njret the teachings of all Radicals or half-way Radicals-thr' they will support the President and the Constitution ; that they will patiently bear this Military Government, which is really ephemeral ; thnt they will persistently deny the dogma of equality,' that thoy will never sanction thu vile principio of Rudicalism tuibo died in tho.?doa of equality; tbut they will ig noro this Convention ; and ultimately save them selves from the horrors of negro juries, ofuce holders, and miscegenation-infamy of infamies and eternal disgrace. We say ultimately, for have we not high hop? and cvidenco that Radicalism has well sigh reached the o'ernal " Thus far and no farther I" It s'ands upon u crater, and tho hot air of repu diation is ul ready rising through tb? crevices and shaking the ashes under its feet Let these Radicals have it all their own way now ; and if in future the free and enlightened people of this Union hurl them not from power, and if a com petent legislative or judicial authority does not repeal, modify or annul their vile luws, thon will we at least Lavo the proud an? uiuch-to-be-ralned satisfaction of feeling that ice had no hand what tier in bringing upon ourselves tho deepest and mott damned degradation. ? ? ? ? A New Cotton tiin of Sweeping 1'opu lnrity. Tho " Star Gin," with or without Condenser, Manufactured by tho "Albany Cotton Gin Man ufacturing Co." Dr. A. G. TEAGUE, who farms lomo three miles from towu, hus one of these Ginf ; and soToral gentlemen interested in such matters, have been out to inspect it. Dr. TRAGUE and these gentlemen all pronounce th? " Star Gin" to bc a vuiy superb und efficient polee of work-a ft-ry decided improvement upon any Gin hcreto f'ire used. Great ?peed, inperil?- quality of tho Staple, and unprecedented quantity of tho same, ard tho points in which tin* Gin sustains its claim? to superiority. To those in want of a Gin we would ?ny, bo sure to get ono of tho " Star Gins" manufactured by the Albany Company. This Gin, we notice, has received the first premium in every State whero it has bcon presented to the peoplo. Bids eut to Dr. TKACI K'S, take a look at this Gin whilst in operation, and then order ono forthwith. Refusing The Blnck Draught. Wc propose a couple of caricatures for one of the numerous Illustrated Papen1 of thc Radical persuasion at the North. First Ohio, as an Anglo Saxon darno, "fat, fair and forty," being tender ly rubbed with the Radical liniment by thc amia ble and fatherly Thad Stevens, preparatory to being offered the Black Draught of negro suffrage. And then, Thaddeus, green and wormy, putting tho cup to the vory lips of the samo fair dame, while she, simultaneously, a-d with dreadful con tortions of her beautiful lineaments, ups with her lusty right foot, and not only kicks the bitter cup from Thad's hand, but plants a vigorous blots. **v bis lanky stomucu. xunu, prcising; norh hands upon tho bruited member, groans out in grim des pair. "Alas, undutiful ! To have decoived ra? by willingly swallowing so much Radical Congress Water and new refusing the dose which was to complete thy poisoning. Woe is me !" A Burdensome Tux on the Planter. Tho Augusta National Republican "takes e lick" at the " City Fathers" for some of their ta_ation blunders, and promises to do so again. In a late issue, rt comes out in favor of doing away with the City Tax on Cotton, which, to the planter, in addition to the other heavy and unjust taxes on tho staple, is considered rather oppressive, to say thc least. This Tax is indeed a cause of mur muring, and if possible wo hope tho City authori ties of Augusta will deviso sonso plan whereby to remove it and other measures that operate to tho prejudice of tho already we'l-nigh-taxed-to dcith planter. The Republican well say? : "It appear? to us that the financial system pursued by the City of Augusta, so far as tho rai?! rt g of revenue is concerned, is of the most suicidal character. A policy which taxes thc trad* which makes the City, is unsound in principle, and calculated to destroy the means by which its business community oxisti. Augusta taxes the cotton which is brought tc the city for sule. If it were possible for planier' to patronize another market whero no such tax was laid who cnn doubt but that great 3ource of trndo and revenue would be diverted into nnotbor channel ? This t?x falls upon tho planting coin munity, already burdened with another heavy im post upon thuir production. Much murmuring has endued among the planters un account of the city tax, but grumbling did no good, they could not remedy it. Tho remedy should have been ap plied by the citiitjns of Augusta, and that thoy have not dono it, may well cause the planters to hold them in some dir favor. Another branch of taxation is equally unjust and onerous : werofer to the tax on the gross sales of merchants and traders. No matter whether the merchant has little, much, or nothing of profit on his sales, not his profits but his snles aromado thc subject of taxation. This ihonld bo wholly reformed, and tho tax should fall on incomes and on thc property which is benefitted by trade. No obstacles and no burdens should be placed in the way of tho business of tho city. " Chewing Gum." If tobacco-chewing ba a " Lad habit," gum clcwing is infinitely worse, and particularly disa greeable. Purhaps tho school-girls and others who "chaw gum" would Uko to knew how this Gum is made. Listen : Tho groatust cum manufactory establishment is said to bo at Podunk, Massachusetts, and tho fain? of their gum (and the gum itself) i* in the month of the world. Ouo of the employees of that establishment, who hus become thoroughly initiated into thc mysteries of thc manufacture of the gum, wu: roccntly discharged from tho establishment, aud has since divulged tho process by which these liquids, which young Americans masticate with such velocity und apparont satis faction, are raudc. Tho gum is made of certain parts of cum arabic, gum-tragacanth, a small quantity of rosin, and lat. Tho fat used is not. lard, that being too expensive, but it is a sub it?neo oxprcsscd frum tho dead hogs, cats, dogs, and other animals found on tho commons of the city. This is not tho worst, of it.- After tho va rious ingredients uro melted touolber in ft huge kettle, a certain kind of alkali is put in for tho purposo of whitening tho gum. This alkali is tho same that is used by dyers with indigo to give a deep nnd permanent blue to flannels. -??? LANCASTER COUKT.-The Lancaster Ledger, of Thursday, says : " Thc present week is the regular term of the Court of Cotnrnon Pleas and General Session* for this District, but owing to thc absence of a presiding Judge, tho court is not in session. Iiis honor Judge Monroe writes that he considers it impracticable to adminis ter the public justice under the present state of difficulties, brought about by military in terference.

A Flagrant and Unwarrantable Out? rage. On Tuesday last, the Sergeant in charge of the detachment of tho 5th U. S. Cavalry stationed near this Villago, forcibly entered the plantation of Mr. LEWIS JOKES, nino miles from the Court Houso, and under the pretence of protecting tho interest of a freedman, who bad made an idle and groundless complaint, seized and removed eight or ten bales of Cotton which had been de livered to Mr. JOKES by a neighbor, in part sat isfaction of a j??t.claim. Thc Cotton, wo aro informed, was that night clandestinely taken pos session of by irresponsible parties, and run off across tho Savannah River. This looks badly for the Military, to say nothing of thc other partios engaged. Mr. JOSES protested earnestly against this vio lent and lawless proceeding, and urged tho Ser geant, in vain, to refer tho matter to bis Com manding officer, who was at Aiken, and have some investigation before summarily trespassing upon his rights and proporty,-offering again and again to make tho amplest satisfaction, in cash if necessary, for every claim which any frcodmen might havo apon the Cotton. Wo are informed that Maj. WALKER, Com manding at Aiken, has been repeatedly notified of tho outrage, but havo heard of no steps being ta ken to bring thc guilty parties to punishment, or to havo the proporty restorod to tho rightful owner. If this Sergeant acted without orders, or con trary to orders, Muj. WALKER owes to himself as an officer, to the discipline of his troops, and to the community which is under his command, to visit tho severest punishment upon him. We do hope, that for tho sake of law and order, and tho reputation of tho service, that this great indignity to ono of our most respectable and law abiding citizens, will bo speedily rcdroisod. Othcrwiso our people will ho forced to protect their property and premises as best they may. Wo call upon tho Commanding General to seo that justice is done in this matter. JUSTICE. Oct. 28th, mr. OHIO.-It turns out after all, says the New York Times (Rep)., that, instead of being light, thc vote last month in Ohio was the heaviest ever cast. In the counties thus far officially heard from there is an increase of about 00,000 over the vote two years ago, of which tbe Democrats gain forty and thc Re publicans twenty thousaud. Tbe theory that the Republicans stayed at home, therefore, wilt not answer. They have evidently in a good many cases voted the other way ; and ot the new voters who have come into the Held within the last two yours, thc Democrats have got more than their equal share. The " reaction" is more decided than it seemed to be at first. FATAL ACCIDENT AND HONORABLE CONDUCT. We clip the following paragraphs from the Yorkvillo Enquirer, of the 24th instant: About 12 o'clock, on the 15th inst., Mr. David Porter, ol' Limestone Springs, was en gaged in blasting rock, in connection with the mining operations. Ile had proparcd a blast and moved off to ihe proper distance, but to thc front of the blast, instead of the tear, as is usual. Thc blast exploded, when a fragment of stoue, weighing, probably for ty pounds, struck him between the shoulders, l?o lingered until 'J o'clock thc same evening, when he died, the injuries he received having superinduced lock-law and severe hemorrhage irom the lungs. The deceased is represented to us as having been a worthy and industri ous man, and leaves a wife and seven chil dren, who were, dependeut upon him for I ub ?latence. We are pleased to learn, and to record tbe fact, that thc company, wh.i had the deceas ed in their employ, and who are represented by Mr. J. W. Secrest, gave the sulferer overy nt font i. tn ft-of flu? rirr-iimfltunf ?? J isf. <t"> A..?? permitted while he lived, and with a Coin mendable liberality, made a handsome donv tiou to the widow, for thc support of herself and children. All houor for this act, which lor once belies the adage, that "Corporations have no souls." THAD. STEVENS ON THE ELECTIONS.-The Morning l'ont prints the following extract from a private letter from Thaddeus Steuei s, on thc late elections : " Sick as I am, I take th's occasion to thank God for our late defeat. The Republicans have been acting a cowardly part, aud have met a coward's fate." DtsTKEss ON EDISTO ISLAND.-Th? distress and destitution among thc negroes on Edisto Island is so great that they are leaving thc island aud crossing-to the maiu land by hun dreds in search of employment. We learn that a large rice planter, a few days ago, em ployed thirty abled bodied men at thirty cents per day, and they find themselves, and re ceived one hundred additional applications from other able bodied negrees willing to work on the same terras, but whom he was unable to employ.-Charleston Mercury. -? -?- ?? CLAY-LOCAL MANUFACTURES.- At this moment lar>re shipments of clay are made from South Carolina to the North. This is chiefly drawn from the neighborhood of Ai ken, in the District of Barnwell. This clay is employed for a variety of purposes, being of superior and peculiar texture, lt is used in statuary, in the manufacture of porcel vin, of soap, and even in ihc sizing of cloth. The question occurs to us, says thc Mci airy, why should not the manufacturers come to Ihe raw material? Here is, not only clay, but ibo fuel, and thc water power in abundance. Wc have no doubt that tbe manufacture would spring up here-as is the obvious poli cy which seems to have resolved, not only that thc South shall do nothing for itsolf, Lut that it shall remain a perpetual incubus upon the Union-Constitutionalist. OBITUARY. ELIZABETH SWIFT MOSLEY, wife of JESSE . loi:H.LION, was born in Edgefield District, thc 24th of December 1881, and died August the 31st 1S?7. A few short mon (hs since, tho relativo J and friends of tho deceased were called un to moura the death of two of hor brothers, and a nice, little dreaming that they would so soon have to perform thc samo melancholy rites over ibo gravo of tho subject of this notice, who was then in tho bloom of health and ia thc midst of usofulncr-.. Though she has passed away, ber memory still lives in the hearts of thoso who knew her. Her genial disposition and kind heart made beran object of affection to her relatives, intimate ac quaintance aud neighbors. In her faithful love and discharge nf duty, her husband found those elements whfch made homo the happiest spot on aarth to him. Simple and unostentatious in her religious character, yet ber piety was f?rvent and sincero. In her last illness she expressed a willingness to die, though greatly concerned for tho welfare if ber little daughter, an only child. Wo mourn icr loss, but not as thoso who have no hope. W. J. R.
