were crowded with citizens, who received
Serrano and the generals with wild enthusi
asm. The procession was followed by a
parade and review of the National Guard.

Emperor Napoleon in the affair. Tho situa

had become one ol the greatest d fflculty and

Troubles in Jjoni?iana.
NEW ORLEANS, October 7.r-Lieutenant j
Lee, of the Freedmen's Bureau; who' "WAS |
sent by Major Hutchings, in charge of the
Bureaa4iere) t0 investigate the troubles at
Opelouas, made his report this morning. He
says that the immediate cause of the outbreak
was a personal difficulty betweeu;.tho editor
of the. .St. Landry Progress, a Republican pa
per, and 'bree citizms, g'rowuig 0,11 "f f?H?o
sive articles in thc paper.. Bentley, the wit
ter, who is ai.su a school teacher, was caued.
The report was immediataly circulated among
the negroes that Bentley was killed, and cou
riers were dispatched to arouse the negroes
on the plantations, and in an incredibly short
time they were flocking, fully- armed, to
Opelousas, apparently thoroughly organized
and prepared .for such occasions. Several
bodies vi negroes were met and dispersed by
the efforts of several moderate men, brtlh
whites and negroes, who acquainted them
with the fuels concerning Bentley. "Une
body, however, of twenty-five or /thirty, led
by a negro, who called himself captain,, re
fused to dispersa when ordered. A fi/jhfen
s?ed iu wlrich two negroes were killed and
four or five wouuded, and five or sis whites
wounded, two very severe!)', and a number
of horses belonging to the whiles killed. The
negro calling himself captain was one of the
kill?-d. Eight of the.pariy were captured and
lodged ia j-iil ard the balance dispersed.
Orders given by tho civil authorities fur dis
arming the negroes were execnted with som?
difficulty btu effectually, and thc arms are
n?>w in the hand* of tile civil authorities.
Op'-'onsas Parish is perfectly quiet.
Inuring the excitement, the material of the
St. Landry Progress was scattered and a part
of it destroyed. One white man was ambush
ed while tiding alone the road alone, aud rid
dled with balls, by three negroes, all of whom
were afterwards captured anil killed. An
other white planter is reported to have been
shot while-sitting in his house. The troubles
existed only ii: Sr. Landry and in Roddins,
twenty miles bom Ope.lou.sas. The adjoin
ins paralos wire perlectly quiet. Lieut. L*e
reports that he could learn tyf. hut two whites
kil!e ! a-.d ten wounded, and five negr-'ta k II
od an 1 fifteen o: twenty wounded ; but li? f.x
pre.-.-vs tue opit.io.-i t! ?it lin; number or'eas
u:dth-.s exec-(ls l-is, as Ibo negroes in stvue
quarters resisted the disarming and Ind to
bo overpowered. None of the white Radi
cals suffered except Bentley, and he only in
the loss of the printing material and in the
caning which he received. Lieutenant Lee
reports that quiet was restored and that eve
rybody was pursuing ordinary avocations. No
further trouble was apprehended, as the white
inhabitants of tho parish outnumber the
blacks. Ar mid mounted patrols, however,
were being still kept up.
g?f- The Democratic m-eting in New York on
the night nf ibe Sib was tho greatest cv.u- bold
in that city. An experienced police captain es

was grund in the extreme. Thc main stund,
whieh represented the temple of Liberty, wu*
brilliantly illuminated by strings of ligio.-' stretch

rockets, lire pointings and balloons. Thc- main
stand, facing Broadway, was the centre of attrao
ti-'ii outside of Tammany Hall, chhough there
were six other stands at whieh speeches were
made to immense throng.1, wau woro roughly es
timated at a hail' million of men, women and
children. Thc crowd stretched compactly down
Broadway to Eleventh-streot, whilo the cross
streets were alive with citizens. Gen. J?oldy
Smith, who presided, said that ho rcpreseutcd
hundreds of soldiers who thought the results of
thc war would bo lost without au entire change
of policy. A letter from (Jen. McClellan was
read, in which he emphatically endorsed the
Democratic candidates.

Exodus of Good Citizens to Walhalla.
The many advantages of Walhalla Lavo lured
away Trum as lately some of our most esteemed
citizens. During tho past week, Dr. G. M. Yar
li .rough and family, and Mr. William Goodman
anil futility, numbering, in all, ? une thirteen ur
foti'teen persons, have departed from our midst
to Li ko up their rcsideuce in, or in tho immediate
vicinity of, this flourishiug aud healthful moun
tain town. Dr. Yarborough made, some time ago,
a tour of inspection to Walhalla, which resulted
in his purchasing there large tracts of land.
Edgefiold loses much in losing those good citi
zens, whose record is one - of probity, virtue and
usefulness; and Walhalla may well congratulate
hersolf upon the acquisition. We wish them, as
do all the many friends they have left behind,
cont nued happiness and iucrcusod prosperity.
Commissioner* of Elections for Edge
field District.
Gov. Scott has made the following appointment
of Commissioners of Elections for Edgefield Di.<
trict: Frank Arnim, J.J. Kennedy and P. R.
Rivers. These officials are charged under the re
cent Act of the Legislature with the designation
of polls and the selection of Managers. We would
exhort them to increase, very largely, the number
of voting precincts in our District ; for in the
coming election* tho white people intend to vote
universally. The polls are to be opsn but one
day, and if the number of precinct? is not large
ly incro iscd, very many voters? will not have a
fair chance, and much trouble may be the result.
A Chance for a Bargnin.
J. L. Anmsox, Esq , having purchased a resi
dence in this Village, with the view of giving his
undivided attention to his profession, is anxious
lo sell his dcsirablo Homestead and valuable
Horn's Creek plantation, situated some ftvo tuiles
from the VillBge. Tho Horn's Creek lands are
unsurpassed for their fertility and adaptedness to
Grain and Cotton Crops, by any lands in the Dis
trict. This is an indisputable fact,-and thc
average yield per acre of tho Hom's Creek bot
toms is roally astonishing. Tho Tract of Land
in question, locatod in a pleasant neighborhood,
where high-toned, kindly neighbors abound, com
prising some :>59 acres, with the out-houses, foncor,
Ac , in good condition, and pure water in abun
dance, is certainly the very placo that should at
tract the land buyer's attention. To such we
would say, in all honesty, "Take a look at Ad
dison's place boforo buying e'sewheto." Ho is
offering it at a low price, nnd whoever is the
fortunate purchaser will secure a bargain.
The Court Last Week.
Tao Court sat from Monday until Saturday
afternoon, and was devoted entirely to Sessions
business. Divers wretchod negroes wero tried for
divers wretched misdeeds. A white man, named
Thomas, was tried fir horse-stealing, and found
gui ty. Youug Corley was tried for the killing
of Padgett. The Jury in this caso, after remain
ing closeted from 3 in the afteruoon until 7 or K
nest morning, had to be dismissed ; thus making
it necessary to try tho BJ SQ again. In the mean
time, Curley bas been released up?n bail.
The Juries ware composed entirely of white
men. There wero many people in attendance, and
the Court House was generally quite full. Ocie
half of thu Court Roora, that to thu lett, as you
inter, hu? become, by heit understanding,dovutcd
to the use of negroes ; and lhere, ut all times ol
thc session,,sat di.zens of ignorant creatures wh..
ought to have been elsewhere, earning their bread.
This part of tho show, added to the presence of
Zi'i b . r.iah Platt in tho placo whioh ha? known
Wardli?? and Butler and CarMll, made tba whole
thing extremely melancholy and profoundly dis
gusting. The said Zophanihh, who did not im
press our community or our bar with eilher his
general or legal ability, departed hence on Sun
day, and has since written back, that he wi 1 not
return just now. Consequently the Court is ai
an end.
The following parties w re tried and found

The Prospect.
Tho Washington, correspondent of tho New
York Expr?s?, writing on the Sib, gives a very
flattering account of the political prospect. He
says: "The political nows is better and bettor,
day by day. Bedford Brown writes from'North.|
Carolina that wo shall carry that State in No
vember by 20,000 majority. Th? remit of the.,
canvass. In Pentiaylvauia mulo by the Democrats,
shows a s-Deuiocratic umjurity ol from 5.000 tn
7,000 in; October. Never bofore. wore-thc Demo
crats in that State-so well organised, ur so well-j
prepared Tor their opponents.
" The samo remark is applicable to Ohio, where
tho most intense excitement prevails. Sehcnck,
the heroic, will be beaten in the Dayton District
by Vallandigham, and Bingham, the pompous
professor of grandiloquence, will ulsu bite tho
dust of the Tuscnrawas Valley.
" Indiana is already conceded to the Democrats
by the Radica s. Hendricks' majority may go as
high as 18,0.00. If so, Seymour will carry the
Stato in November by 20,000.
" During the last four or Cv? days, a greta;''
change has come over the " doubtful" population
of this city-the mon who aro on the fence. All
these- persona admit now, for the first time, that'
Seymour willQprobably be elected. They hare
received privates advices, doubtless, from their
compatriots in this State, urging them to get off
the fenco a? quickly aa possible."

CLOTHING-PREK?RE FOR WHITER.-It is the
part of prudence, aud of wisdom, too, to provide
lor the luture-tu seoure protection against the
burning blasts of Summer and the chilling blasts
ol Winter jt will not always do to wait until I
the necessity arrives belora providing fur it ; for ']
"procrastination is the thief of time," and the
thief of a great deal of personal safety and com
fort, lt were well, tberuture, to be always pre
pared fur emergencies as well av tor certainties.
Now one of the certainties is the approach of j
Winter. Thu cool mornings and evenings of the
present season are the sure indications ofthat;
und to pr?vido for it is one of thu necessities.
Well, tho next question is, how to do so? Why,
go to Kenny A Gray, and get you a nico suit of j
warm Fall or Winter clothing. Don't wait until
the cold weather is upon you ; but go now. " Stand
not upon the order of yonr going, but go at once,
gentlemen," and pr?vido yourselves. You will
find there a splendid assortment of all aorta of
ready-made clothing, besides a splendid lot of J
cloths, cassimeres, and other Fall and Winter
goods, with competent and experienced tailors to
tako your measuro and make them up into the
nicest fitting and most fashionable suits desirable.
There vou will also find all kinds of gentlemen's
furnishing goods, such as shirts, cravats, hand
kerchiefs, etc, etc, all of which can be had very
low for cash.
Mr. Gray hns beon North and aeleoted his own
gooda with a view to suit thia market particular

Democratic Meeting at Plum Branch.
MB. EDITOR,-Under tho auspices of the Dark
Corner Democratio Club, a Barbecue and Demo
cratic meeting came off the 25th Sept. last, at
Plum Branch-several speakers having been pre
viously in vitod to address tho pe opio on that oc
casion. The place was well selected,-the speak
er's stood, comfortable seats for the audience,
and lengthy tables fur tho feast, having'been lo
cated and-well arranged in a beautiful grove near
the Church.
At an early hour in the forenoon a large crowd
bad collected from the neighboring Democratic
Clubs and surrounding country, the ladies com
posing, at least, one-half the audience. At 10
o'clock tho meeting was organized by appointing
Dr. J. II. JENNINCS Chairman, with WM. ? PARKS
and Cpl. JNO. F. TALBERT, aa Secretaries.
The Chairman after a few appropriate remarks,
called'for the .reading of the Hon. G. D. TILL
MAN'S lotter, whom, he stated, had been invited as
one of the speaker.--, bot who could not be present.
' falz. TILLMAN'S nbsencowas muon regretted, bnt
"his letter was read and well received. It will ac
company this sketch for publication, and speaks
for itself.
The Chairman then introduced Col. D. WYATT
AIKEN of Abbeville, who addressed the meeting
in a forcible and eloquent speech of an hour and
half in lengtk, in which ho ezposod and de
nounced in scathing terms, the past and present
misdeeds and deceptions of the Radical party,
and their infamous designs for the future. He
eschewed mere subterfuges as not necessary to our
success in the coming election, but advocated and
urged direct Democratic principles, and tho elec
tion of Seymour and Blair as the means of relief
from the misrule and oppression under which we
are now Buffering. His ideas, throughout, were
I just and clear, and his arguments logical and
convincing.
At the close of Col. AIKBX'S speech, Wu. TUTT,
Esqr. a young lawyer of talent and promise from
Georgia, was introduced, who jjpoke for an hour
in his usual spirited, eloquent and effective style.
Hr. T. is a fluent and popular speaker, and since
the opening of the Presidential oauva** bas done
guod service for the causo uf Democracy on both
sided of the Savannah. He, like Col. AIKEN, was
bitter in his denunciations of Radicalism, scala
wags and carpet-baggers. The remarks of both
speakers, in this connection, to. the Freedmen, (of
whom a considerable number were prcsont) it is
believed, bad a salutory influence. The speeches
were listened to with profound attention and fre
quent bursts of enthusistic applause.
Just at the close of Mr. TCTT'H address a heavy
shower of rain fell, causing the people to seek
shelter, for a short time, in the adjacent Cbnrch
and Academy. The shower having passed away,
the tables Were spread with bountiful and Varied
supplies of well-cooked, and elegantly* served up
barbecue i, meats. Added to this waru large quan
tities of luxuries and dainties, brought io baskets
by the ladies, making up, altogether, a magnifi
cent feist, of which the crowd partook to full sat
isfaction. The order and management nt the table
was admirable, and for the handsome style in
whicn everything was gotten up the Committee of
Arrangements deserve much credit.
Dinner being over, and tho enthusiasm of the
assembly unabated, they repairod again to the
stand, when the speakers were again called for,
to which call, each responded handsomely, in
shurt but stirring speeches, which were much ap
plauded. The audience then dispersed, all feel
ing that the day had been well spent in the sacred
cause of Democracy and civil liberty.
DEMOCRAT.
LETTER FROM HON. 0. D. TILLMANN.
WOODLAWN, S. C., 21st Sept., 18fiS.
Dr. J. H. JENNINGS and W. L. PAD KS, Com
mittee,-Gentlemen : I regret that a positive prom
ise made tbreo weeks ago to address a large Dem
ocratic gathering at Huiet's Store 25th inst, will
prevepialae from accepting your complimentary
,?<- to speak tho same day to the Dark Cor
WvXt Plum Branch. It deepens my regret
^remember that urgent private business com
pelled mo to forego tho pleusuro of complying
with a former special request to address your
Clnb.
But although I cannot attend your meeting in
person, yet I can be there in spirit, as I have been
with your Club for some time. Without wishing
to be invidious, or claiming to bo conversant with
the conduct of many Democratic Clubs in tho
State, I must ray that the general cuurso of thc
Dark Corner Club commands my approval more
thoroughly than that of any Club with whose
proceedings I am acquainted.
There ia but une thing, in which I take lea vu
seriously to differ with you.'That is in white men
assisting to form Negro Democratic Club?, and
solici'ing negroes to vote the Democratic ticket.
But it may bo that I am wrong tn objecting to
this, as roost of tho leading mon in the State seem
to countenance it-in fact to urge it.
Devotion to principle, not policy, in affairs of
Government, has hitherto justly been the proud
est boast of South Carolina. The high example
of our fathers in this regard, is worthy of all im
itation now more than ever. It is adversity
which gives the bf st test of tho truo character of
an individual, or State. By following in tho plain
footsteps uf those who hare guno before us, wo
can never be lost In a tanglod web of policy which
might make ourselves, oswell as our chi'dren,
ah t J forget tho record wo produce under the
trying ordeal ol the Reconstruction Acts.
Wo maintain that these Acts aro uncon-difution
al in the whole, and io every part. Tncir most
prominent feature is tu confer nuffrage upon eTatrj
negru at the South. By asking a negro tu vive"
the Democratic ticket we directly admit hi.? right
to vote tho Radical ticket, and thereby recognise
thu validity of the Reconstruction Acts. In wy
judij mt ut our true COM let ii to udeit* and coerrt
thc negro lg every proper menu* nut to vote a* all.
The negro vote is not necc.-sary to our success
in the Congressional elections, as the Democrats
ut (bc North are sure to elect a majority uf Rep
resentatives from their section, which -?ill enable
us successfully tu contest the seats of the Carpet
Baggers. If the Democrats at the Nurth fail tu
secure a majority of Representatives, then the
Carpot Baggers will be seatod any way, no matter
though Democrats may have been declared elected
here. How many Democratic Representatives,
fairly elected, have baen ouated by radical con
testants in the present Congress ?
Nur can the negro vote avail us in thc Presi
dential electiun. The existing Congross, sitting
in joint Convention, and presided over by honest
Ben Wada, will have sole, exclusive and final
p-wer to declare fur what Presidential candidate
the vote of any Sta'e, North or South, shall be
counted. There can he no appeal from this count
except to the sword, as it is entirely a political
question with, which the Supreme Court can have
nothing to do. Even if Democratic Presidential
Electors be doclared elected at tho South, and
thoy should forward ballots for Seymour to Wash
ington, how easily, and bow certainly, can and
will the Radical candidates for Electors, claim
that thoy wore elected, and also forward ballots
which lutter Wade and bis crew will count for
Grant if .they dare do it. Tho present Congress
will have the samo unlimited power tu declare
the next Presidential Election, that the next Con
gress will have to declare who have been eleotod
members of that body. Nothing but a crushing
and overwhelming defeat of Grant at the North
(leaving the South out of view) will prevent the
present Radical Congress from counting as many
of the Electoral votes of the South for Grant as
they muy think fit.
Hence I think it rests with tho Nurth to defeat,
or elect Grant; to restore tho Federal and State
Governments to thoir respective and pruner con
stitutional orbits, or to permanently chango the
Government, first to a temporary Consolidated
Despotism, and finally to a Monarchy. There
are only a few of tho Northern Statos ready for
either of tboso forms of Government at present.
I have but little fear of the Democratic party
at tho North failing to carry the next Federal
Elections. Evory thing looks aa favorably for
a conservative triumph as we could reasonably
expect. It will be time enough for Southern men
io electioneer with negroes for votes when it has j
When that timo arrives, neitbor a negro's vote
nor a white man's will bo worth any thing. .Lot
us stand by oar colours, and contend for & white
man's Government at all times, in all places, and
ander all circumstances. Negro laborers, but no
negro voters, with our consent
Respectfully, -
G. D. TILLMAN.

?Near where the " broad Savannah,"
;Tn a never ceasing manner,
Rolls on his mighty wrath,
Sleeps the father by bis daughters,
And thoir sweetest requiem ever
Is the music of the River.
He in life's lengthened even,
Was called from earth to- Heaven
She as a flow'ret blooming,
Her angel placo assuming
Loving in lite so dearly
Sleeping in death so nearly. -
On life's scene a noblo actor, '
The poor man's benefactor,
Asa husband, so devoted,
As a fathor, few so doted
On his children,-loving ever.
With a love bot death could sever.
None obeyed with greater unction
That pure divine injunction
''Just ns wo would have others
So to do unto our brothers,"
Thus his gen'rous heart o'er flowing,
All around his alms bestowing.
By death relentless smitten,
His best epitaph is written,
In tho hearts of those now weeping,
Fresh his memory ever keep i ug,
As a treasure one may cherish
Though "the uitt-icard man doe?perish."
