EJgvfild Adcertiitr-ac enterprise r which, by tho fuvor of the citixons of Edgtiield District, became the success they now behold. The thirty-second ) ear of the Advertiser's existence il LOT clo-cW, and with this issue we begin the tilrty third year. It ia t> long poriod to look bitk, bot tho reminiscence, lo f?r as fur icier- j ooirso Kith tho public is concerned, is ail plo.is.mt' Tht-t intercourse, to be ?ure, bas been only of few yews standing; but our memory of tho tono and character of tho Adccrtiter is good, and wo do n?-t believe that ia this long range of thirty-two volumes tb?re will be found a sentiment expres?ed that was net prompted by the sincerest desire to promote the tra? interests and honor of Edgetield aa-1 of S.-atlrCaro!in&. And through all these long years, th9'Advert!*cr hat met with a degree of favor which its proprietors ever gratefully ac knowledge, and- bara ever sought to deservo by bea ling all tb?ir energies to making the paper v.Tthy of such generous and unrenr.tted support. An 1 R< in the past, so shall it bc in the future. Whit that future may call ur-on us to door tn d ire, wc cannot even conj ?clure. Tho aspect cf| afiaiti is, in mq>t rerpecU, dirk an 1 unpromising. We are in the band* of a pvliti.-al faction which, fed ?tv power, has iurgotten right; and we ure kelpie?? as a c -mmunity. to pro'ect ourselves or avert lb? doom, whatever it niiy bo, that is to le i .flirted. ?nt that which w-s can all do, is to face porsecution with the .courage of enduraceo, and c- nu rel and act together so as to bring united energies to the work of lifting up the fallen for tunes of cur people.

To our Di-trict readers we would say : Most of you will be coming here some day during the ensuing term of Court. And, before you ?eave home, we beg you to stow away, with solemn carefulness, in your pooket books, entirely sepa rate from your other friends, the small sum of Three Dollars, to be devoted to subscribing for tba Thirty-Third Warne of the Advertiier.

The Charleston Courier, of Saturday, says : " We learn from a reliable soureo that the total official returns give a majority of a little over eight thousand for a Convention, and that Gen ral Canty in a day or two will issue his order for thc assembling of a State Convention in this city on the 21th of January next." Rigorous Weather. 1867 came ia with snow and sleet and rain and wind ; and so is it departing. Christmas week was so mild that one might well have believed it was transplanted from May "r June ; but to day -the last of tho year-the wind howls in fearful blasts, while the Taco of the earth is covered with ?'cet and show. Temper tho wind now, yo who are still surrounded with blessings and comforts, to the many, be they black or white, whom these evil days have left destitute and cheerless. More and More Skillful and Elegant. We mean tba Shoe-Making of our young towns man, Mr. W. D. BAUET. And before we go fur ther, let us point you to his new advertisement. He has lately (?cured the services of awhile work man-Mr. TOM KISS-whose achievements in tho B >ot and Shoe line are absolutely unsurpassable for beauty, style and elegance. Mr. RAUEY'S shop is next door to us, and heneo we often seo all styles of his work. And quite apart from the fine Boots and Shoes turned out by Mr. RAUEY, no young man in oar community, is more entitled, on account of his high character and orderly habits, to patronage and support. Audacious and Brutal Robbery. On Monday night, 23d Dec., the dwelling of Mrs. D. RUTLAXD, a venerablo widow lady, living near the Columbia road, twelve or thirteen miles from this place, was foroibly entered by six negro fellows, who robbed it of money to the amount of $75, and also of a considerable quantity of bed-clothing, A?. Mrs. B. was alone at the time -that is, had no one with her save ber servants -and in making her eicape, was struck and mal treated by the.se black ruffians. Information of this foul deed was immediately communicated to Major WALSER, at Aiken, who jprjmptly sont ont Sergeant MO.XDI.IUSD, 5th Cavalry, in pursuit of tbs perpetrators. One of them has been arrested ; and we bops to announce i>ext week tbs capture of tho who!; party. They richly deserve tbs halter.

Good Advice for the New Year. The following excellent advice to young mon is from Horace Greeley. It deserves to be printed in letters of gold, and ought to be read morning, Doon, and night, by every boy and girl in tho land: Hunger, eold, rags, bari work, contempt, sus icion. unjust reproach, are disagreeable. But worse than them all. And if it pitas?

The Blank Volume of 1808. Tho year 1 SGT has departed. It u ,,0w a book complete-a record written and folenialy s.'nlod np-for tao study of future generations, it j3 a sign and a sewence-for us or agniust us-beyond recall. If we have aeled our p:trt wisely nnd well, wc may re joice ; ifTiOt wisely und weil, we cnn only hope and regret. There uro times when the most giddy and ir reverent arc visited with serious thoughts. And na. season is more fruitful of sober reflections than tho first day of the New Year. It is then we aro reminded of the t-hortr.css of timo, of the *pecd with which if puses awny, and of it? ex ceeding uncertainly. And if thc pa?t year is a volume hopelessly sealed, it is u:uch comfort to know that the year stretching out before us, is a book whose open page* are as yet white and unblottod. Let us all bo solemnly heedful, therefore, in writing upon these open pages, that we write fa a fair hand, in lines, uniform and regular, in colors that shall bring n > b;ush upon our cheek?. Let us not for get that the book in which wo write is one which suffers no erasure hereaftor, from which no leaf can be torn, of which no record once made cnn be destroyed or mutilated. This is the season for new and wise resolve*, for earnest and steadfast effort* to bteoino better, holier, mora useful, more chnritnble. T!;i- is the season to study that beau tiful pcooi " Exccliior," which depicts tho earnett upward impit'ie <>/ the toul-an impulse not to be subdued even in death. Despising danger, resist ing plcn'ure, tbo youth, beari.-.g the bannor in scribed "Excelsior.'" (higher still!) strugg'cs through nil difficulties to an Alpine summit. Warned to be content with the olevation attained, his cry is stilt Excelsior!" and, cvon in falling dead on thc highest pinnacle, his cry is still " Ex? \tU!or !" The poet holds in view the idea of never-euuir.g prryrcm. After thh life, there is yet an immortal height to be surmounted-an ascent in Eternity. Does not serious thought become us whon the year that has scarcely faded into memory, recalls the memory of all the years that are past, with their long, long catalogue of hoars wastod, of opportunities neglected, of mercies abused, of judgment despised, of duties omi;ted, of oifeuces perpetrated '{ May we not well pause on the threshold of the new year, tearful, awod, penitent, trustful, soeking tho aids of grace that we may | improve to the utmost what remains of "our ap pointed time?'* And let us at this season, too, look up and take courage. It is true that a political cloud of gloom and uncertainty is hovering above and around us. But we have much ground for hope. The intel lect of tho North and West that it trno to tho Constitution of the land, and to tho great princi ples of bunrm rights that havo their foundations laid de?p in human suffering and hum-in experi ence, is bursting into a glorious and belligerent activity. Never .-ince the late war bogan, has tho conservative mind of the country, which spanks through tho pre*?, tho mouths of patriotic oraton, and tho documents of patriotic public servants, betnkoned so much living ?md earnest zeil in tho causo of political truth. Before the ond of the ye-ir jost now setting in, Justice will h.wo ascended her throne, and her verdict against the uisuniou destruetioniits will inevitably be: .Vene men?, lehrl tiphani* J And thon will come better days for the South and her way-worn peo ple. If we are brave and wiso and energetic, we shall yet demonstrate to the world that the South is equal to tho crisis, and can subordinate all changes to bet interest, and yet come forth from this hour of gloom and trial with that dignity and honor which become her charactor and her history Acknowledgment. Our best thanks are due Capt Tuos. W. Cia WILS for a batch of valuable Northern Papers of j late date ; and to our venerable friend, L. B.

On Tuesday, the 24th Dec, about twenty miles from tho Charleston light-ship, was burned the steamer Raleigh, Capt. Marshman, on her voyage from New York to New Orleans. Her crew and passengers amounted to fifty-nino persons. Of | these, thirty-one, rescued by passing vessels, and by mean i of the lifo boats, have arrived in Charles ton. Twenty-one are still missing, of whom, it is said, ten aro certainly drowned. Wini a Practical Man Says. Senator Sprague, of Bhode I.-Und, who is a large manufacturer, as well as a largo cotton pUuter, delivered a speech on Friday last, before the adjournment of Congress for the holiday.*, on the repeal of the Cotton Tax, in which he made th-- startling statement that the British manufac turer J are now able, by thoir skilled labor and machinery, to produce from the short and dry staple of Iudt-v cotton a product equal to that from the American staple Ile said that at this day Egyptian cotton was usad in seven-eighths of the articles in which Sea Island cotton was formerly employed, and that he believed in two years this latter artiele woald only be produced as a raro plant in some gentleman's garden. The plantations of the South he did not consider worth ono-twentieth part of their valuo before the war. Mr. Sprague told tho Senate that he bad not only appr?henda J wo bal lost tho groat cotton interest forever, but that he even feared thc competition of Indian cotton in American markets. Theso are not the statements of a congressional declaimcr, but of I a practictl man, who raroly asks tho attention of j the Senate. Truths like these ought to rousn the industrial classes of the country, and bring them to decide whether this destruction of cotton, com merce and manufactures, on a legitimate basic, is not a higher price than they are ablo to pay for tr s perpetuation of Radical power. Th? time to which the collection of tho direct Ux in the Southern States was delayed, ex pires on January 1, but Secretary MeCullocb, in answer to appeals from the Sooth to pvotaoi. pbom from taxation, has, it is said, responded that be does not intend to oollect it unless forced to do so by Congress, and that ha will appoint no collec tors for that purpose. 83^ February 15th the Freedmen's Bufcuu will cease in Teunessoe, Except the Superintendent of Education, all the officers will be discharged. ??ff" The cane crop of Eastern Florida is said to be excellent, and the syrup solis at from fifty to seventy cents a gallon. pB* A cotton gin house at Hinds, Miss., was set on fire recently, and two hundred and eighty b ?es of cotton, anda faithful old negro were burned with it.

Party in Pieces. ?WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.18o7. The Republican party in Congres* is fall in'.; to pieces. -It-is bciug constantly betray-' ed by its own friends. The great organiza ; tioti-^ra ?dc?t of all mere political parties ever funned-has nu enemy so dangerous an the cowardly and treacbt-r.ms. the timid time server, and the mere expedk-ncy mongers who dwell within its border?. In Congress it fails constantly, lt is falling to pieces daily. A chief reason is bbcauac it has no leader, no one brave enough to strike back, or sagacious i enoti?h to see n blow and ward it off. What ever che might be said ot* Mr. fr levens' lead ership, it bad the merit of striking back, and of bting always reidy to ai tack wheo liberty wa? threatened. A crowd of mere respecta bilitiej now strive to rule. All of them are ?t-cretly conscious of their unfitness, for the position their ambition aspires to. So all strike to prevent other men from that direc tion. Schenck* is too cross, Kelly is deemed too egotistical, Boutwell and Shcllubarger too modest, (a quality with which not many an; aflltcted,) Butler is too imprudent on an emer i^ency, Logan is uot yet a skilful enough par liamentarian. Julian would be best, but he ii too hard worked ?nd weary a mau to un dertake the task. For all practical purposes Mr. Stevens is of tho past, except so tar as he c in counsel. It is no use disgui>ing the fact. The Re publican party is not now one. Thcro are two distinct parties in ita midst. The ques tion is really which shall keep the great name and maiutain the splendid organization. This honor belongs bj all that ia just to the Ridi cals. The Conservatives have no claim, many of them are pet ty and peddling soldiers of fortune, the others are jaundiced and disap pointed politicians, who grieve at being so near statesmanship and yet unable to make ehe people recognize them as such. What transpired on t)iO black days-a twin disgrace -of last week has given a final, if yet unre cognized, blow at the unity of the party. Nothing can keep these discordant elements together long, except tho pressure of au out side daDgcr, overwhelming as th t which drove them into fusion when Sumter was fir ed upon. The Republican party in Congress might have survived, though that is doubtful, the defeat of impeachment. There are other measures that might havo rallied the shattered elements. But' it can never survive.the utter wreck of mutual con fidence which has resulted lrom the tyranni cal and shameless conduct of the majority which destroyed the nation's great hope. That conjunction of Conservative fears and copperhead.lusts was fitly exemplified by the manner in which they crushed all debate, do stroyed free discussion, and made parliamen tary" liberty a jest, and brought to shap? and scorn the highest prerogative bestowed by the Constitution on the National Legislature. The tyrannical conduct of the majority in pre venting debate has swept away the last hopes among discerning men of locking to keeping the Republican party intact. The Coming Political Revolution at Home. At the time of the Connecticut State elec tion hst spring, when the republicans put a humbug showman upon their ticket for Con gress, wc predicted that the people, already be ginning to be dissatisfied with the policy of thc radicals, would repudiate the party thus abusing its power a.nd nject thc whole of its candidates. Tho result verified our predic tion, and the rebuke administered to the re publicans was so severe that we at once dis covered iu it the indicat'on of a coming polit ical revolution throughout the country, di rected against the itrocious legislation of thc radical Congress. In the elections that fol lowed in Maine and California, and subse quently in Pennsylvania and Ohio, this revo lution began to take form and substance, and, despite thc desperate eflorUs of the republi cans to account for their sudden reverses on the plea of local issues, or the indifference of their supporters, occasioned by over confi dence in their owu strength, it bocarao evi dent that a deep feeling was at work amoug the people, and it seemed as if the doom of radicalism were already sealed, Tho tremendous cbaiipe that followed in the votes of the Stator holding their elections in November, and especially tho disastrous ? overthrow of the radical State ticket in New York and the complete annihilation of thc party in the metropolis, put the matter beyond question or dispute, and so alarmed tho radi cal loaders as to sammarily stop the impeach ment agitation in Congress. It is clear, how ever, that the republicans still remain resolved upon carryiug out their reconstruction policy at the South, and will persist in their efforts to bring the Southern States back into the Union under the political control of the bru talized and j ignorant negro population, in order that they may add to the strength of their party in thc approaching Presidential election. Under these circumstances we predict thc culmination in November 18U8 of the politi cal revolution of which we havo already ielt the first shock. J?rom all the symptoms that surround us it is easy to foresee that the vio lence and folly of Congress, in forcing upon the country a policy entirely foreigu to our institutions, and in conflict with all our ideas of freedom, justice a-id generosity, will unite the people upon the democratic and consei? vativg nominee for thc next Presidenc}'. and that he will be elected by a large majority. The radicals may hope to save themselves by calling to their aid the great name of General Grant; but if that.distinguished military leader should accept a nomination upon the African supremacy platform of the present Congress he will bo defeated at tie pol?3 as easily as Chase or a,ny other candidate would be. The principles that agitate the country at the present time are stronger than men, and no personal popularity eau for an instant blind the eyes of the people to the importance of the issue. Thc reconstruction policy to which the radical party promises to adhere is an atrocious outrage upon civiliz-.-d society. It degrades lke JT.hi?? race, and, by giving political power into tho uncontrolled posses sion of hundreds of thousands of ignoran: and debased negroes, breaks down nil tho safeguards of society, obliterates the progress of half a century, reduces ten Sta\es of thc Union to a ?condition of African barbarism, and demoralizes the national government. It is against this policy that thc people will re cord their 7otes, and it ia to Bave the country from these evils that they will defeat the rad ical Presidential candidate noxt fall, whoever ho may be. Wo do not believe that General Grant will consent to represent such a party or such a Eolicy in the important canvass of next year, te is shrewd and sagacious, and as he begins to comprehend the coming revolution he is indicating th?ough bis neartst friends his un willingness to stand upon such a platform as the radicals are preparing tor him. In this ho is right. Tho election of ISO'S would be but a repetition of that of 1832, although on a broader and grandor scale. Scott, a popular and renowned soldier, was defeated by thc al most soljd vote of thc Union-four States only casting their p\fi?t?r?) vote f?r bim, although his opponent was a l?ew Hampshire nonenti ty, unfit for the position, without any politir cal reputation in his own Stato, and unknown to the rest of tho country. Tho overthrow of the radical negro supremacy candidute next year will be as completo aa that of tho whig nominee in 1852. lt is to be hoped that Gen eral Grant may be f-pired the pain of such a defeat, and that th.1 conservatives and demo crats may put before the country a more desi rable man than poor Pierce. In proportion as their success it assumed; they owe it to the nation to present, none but a patriot and statesman for the suffrage of tho people-N. Y. Herald. ?gr-W'vi.

They were in full unilorra, and were armed with guns and pistols. No effort was made at the time to suppress the demon stration. lu the afternoon several thousand were harangued, and violent and incendiary language was used by Barber, Brainard and other prominent Radicals. Late in the evening be-th Barber and Brai nard were arrested by tho military authori ties. Disturbances are reported to have taken place at Greenville last night, and a military detachment has been sent lhere to restore order. No particulars have been received, but-at last accounts all was quiet. The Selma papers report serious distur bances at Demopolis and Camden, to which points troops have been ordered. A negro was shot dead yesterday on the plantation of Mr. Meriwether, near this city, by another negro, for declaring himself op posed to the Union League. FEARFUL OUTRAGE AND SWIFT R?TRIBU TION".-A gentleman from Jefferson informs us of a fearful outrage which was perpetrated near Louisville, Jefferson county, on Satur day, December 21st. It appears that a young lady, aged sixt - ^^Ikinir alone on tte public road, o urday, DeceD .sile \fSS aCCC Terri Hod a' situation st?? - quickly seized her and leuuu - 4 ... tho ground and most shockingly outraged her person. Tho negro left his victim on the road side, where she was found by some citi zens. When tho outrage was mado known the people, white and black, scoured the coun try in search of the negro, but it was not un til Monday that he was arrested. Some fif ty negroes and a number o? whites assembled together, and so incensed were they at the fearful act which thc prboner had committed, that they tied him to a stake ind burned him alive. The negro confessed that he commit ted the deed, and related the revolting cir cumstances of bis crime to the crowd.? if his crime was fearful so was his punishment. It would have been better to let the law tske ita course than to resort to this summary method of punishment. Our enemies use it as a pretest lo oppress our people. Thc fact of the freed people themselves being mainly instrumental in the burning of thc negro will be distorted and does not justify this awful retribution. Our people, in all cases, should let tuc law take its course.-Chronicle Sc Sen tinel, 29lh. HORRIBLE AFFAIR-How "ROMEO" MGR DEHED HIS KEEPER.-The telegraph on Satur day announced thc killing of Mr. W. S. Wil liams, the keeper of the famous elephant Ro meo. The Philadelphia papers give the par ticulars of the horrible affair, which occurred at Hatborough, Montgomery County, Penn sylvania. Jt appears that the hug.: monster had been pluoed in winter quarters at thc above place, and on Wednesday was visited by his keeper, who found it nO'jessary to ad mini ter a punishment. Mr. Williams is said to bc the only man living who could exercise any authority over him. Ile afterwards took M Romeo" to a trough, for the purpose of washing his face and tusks. As he (Williams) was stooping with his back toward him, " Romeo" suddenly seized him with his trunk, and dashed bira with great violence against thc wall, after which he gored him fearfully with big tusk?. He then kneeled ou thc pros trate man with."his -ponderous weight and crushed him fearfully. Tho screams ol Mr. Williams brought poisons to his assistance, and with considerable danger the mutilated body of tho unfortunate man was dragged OUt, the elephant being kept Rt bay by means, of pitchforks. Medical aid was at once Rum moued, but Mr. Williams expired in a little over an hour afterward. Tue elephant has since been quiei. Romeo is a native of Cey lon, where he was captured some ten years ago, when fie was considered full grown. He, for a number of years, was used in state pro cessions and for warlike purposes. He at last was taken among other munitions ol war, and sold lo some Loudon menagerie proprie tors, who vainly essayed to train him to per form tricks, bo he was sent to America in 1S59 and purchased for the establishment of Mabie & Co. AN AWFUL TRAGEDY-On Sunday, De cember 8th, very early iu the morning, an act was perpetrated on tho road loading from Courtlnr.d to Tuscaloosa, at tho house of Dr. LjeQrairenried. about thirty miles from Court hud, by vrhjoh pr. paGruffeuricd. and Mf. and Mrs. ?ioah lost their lives. A Mr. Briggs, a Methodist preacher, who had been at one time confined in thc Juuutic asylum at Tusca loosa, was staying at Dr. DcGraffenried's. E;irly that morning the Doctor and Mr. Briggs were sitting by the fire, and Mr Briggs was abUiing his wife, from whom he had been ! separated, whim Dr. DeG. told him he ought not to abuse his wife so ; whereupon Briggs . pickod up a balfrtnadp handle and struck Dr. DeG. on the hoad, fulling bin) to thc Ijoor. He thou struel; him again, killing bim in stantly. Mr. Noah, who is an old man, rushed in to Udp Dr. DeG., and he was killed with the aamo weapon. Mrs. Noah, heating the noise, went ?ato the room, and Briggs killed her ?D the same manner. A little boy, who was in the room, saved his lifo by getting under tho bed.

NKWEERN, December 20.-Scarcely a day bas elapsed and 1 bavo again to record anot her of those negro outrages 8 > frequent at the South rince thc emancipation of that unfor tunate race-another brutal, murder. But a few day" since and the peaceable citizens in this vicinity were thrown into a stn te pf the most violent excitement ?ind. terror by thc horrible murder of Colonel Netlf?rcott and the inhuman beating bis wife received at thc bauds of thc murderers, who also attempted incendiarism. The affair I am now about to record isa twofold tragedy, thc negro murde rer meeting death at Lite hands of a heroic boy not more iban fourteen years old. Night before last the residence of Mr. Dan iel Doughty, on the public road lea'ding from Neuse to Trent, was invaded by a gang of negro desperadoes, who infest this portion of tho Suite. Upon reaching the house one of too party entered, r'\e others remaining out side, as is usual i:i t .ch cases, to guard against iutrusioD, while their bloody work is being perpetrated. Ben. Canner,.tho murderer, who met his deserved fate, finding no one present but a Mr. P. Bralchcr and a small boy, seized the former and demanded all the money there was in the house. A violent struggle, lasting for some moments, now ensued, the negro, being very powerful and muscular, freeing himself. He immediately drew a revolver, discharging it twice, one of the balls taking effect in Mr. Bratcber's abdomen, thc other in his right arm. From the wound in his abdo men, which was mortal, he has since died. At this juncture of affairs the weak and pue rile boy displayed, in a marked degree, his courago and heroism. When the strngsle had assumed its fiercest aspect, and tho ne^ro had drawn his pistol, the boy slipped behind a door, and seizing the gun belonging to Mr. Doughty, took steady and deliberate aim at the negro murderer, fired and instantly killed him. The remainder of the gang cniside, seeing their leader lying prostrate in his gore, fled, as negroes will always do when they en counter true mauly courage. Tho boy re mained in the house, the sole surviver ol this two-fold tragedy, administering to the dying wants of Mr. Bratcher until assistance ar rived. This section is daily the scene of the most unparalleled murders; thc people live in terror, and if measures are not adopted to re strain the growing negro violence thc country will become depopulated. -? -4- ?

I EXTRAORDINARY REVENGE.-The Provi. deuce Herald of tho 21st tells tho following ridiculous story of a hon-pecked husband who took a most singular revenge: A singular case of matrimonial infelicity is reported on Village street, two or three even ings ago. A couple, both slightly undia- the influence of beverages, had a "cheerful dis cussion, which culminated in a regular quar rel, after they had retired to their couch for tho night. At last, rendered frputic by the stinging words of his wife, and in order to revenge himself upon her, the man sprung from his bed and seated himself upon the hot cooking stove, ?'accoutred as he was" ina very limited line of wearing apparel. The stove being very hot, the man's flesh burned on and his night garment somehow catching upon the rear of the stove ho was unable to release himseif. His screams for help were treated with cool indifference by hia wife, and it was only when his cries had called IQ two men from another room, thathe was extricated from his uncomfortable position by being pulled off thc stove by main strength. Ol course his burns were terrible, and the phys! cians who attended him predict that they will result in permanent lameness. gg?"
