About three thousand persons were % attendance from the surrounding distri of that section of Carolina earnestly se ing a railroad connection with the mar of their choice. Among the participants were quit number of colored men, heartily in accc with tho enterprise, and willing to ?id the extent of their ability both by si . scriptions of money and" labor. In e dence of their earnestness in the matt several shares cf stock were subscribed them on the spot. The citizens of that section are th oughly enlisted in this enterprise, a means of opening np to their agricultu T " flucti access to a nearer and bet .'.'Muan their present railroad fae wi;! enable them to reach.

A COLORED KU-KL?XSC-E?PE^NCAM DEN.-?ne Canutan Journal of the 1st says : On the loth ins;., near English's Mills in iu?5 County, one Harry Mollae, a col ored njan, was visited late at night by certain parties, who knocked at the door of his house and asked if he was in, but not wailing for an answer, burst open thei door, and rushing in to the number of frf tecn or twenty, fell upon thc struggling Hariy and threw him io th* ground, after winch they slipped a bag or cap over his head and ti< d it tight around his neck. They then tied his hands and feet, and ...irned ?lira a distance in the woods, when tl ey fir Hy deposited him upon the ground, ane, lacing sticks beat him until thev thougl t ho was dead, cut oft' a piece of his ear, and untying him left, him there. After some hours herecovered sufficient ly to drag himself home where he has been lying in bed ever since. He has told several persons that he re cognized the parties who beat him. by the cap slipping off while the beating was ad ministered, and thal every one of them was a negro, though there was one * who was*lighter in color than the rest and he, .said Harry, might have been white, but I don't think so. The ca"se cf the beating was alleged to have been that Harrv bewitched his ckugh ter-in-law, who has lately died. For fear lest Radical sceptics may dis believe this, we have fortified ourselves with abundant proof which shall be forth c .':.g if heeded.

The following is a full text of Banks' letter, wherein he comes out squarely for Horace Greeley : BOSTON, July 31,1872. . MY DEAR Si?. : I have the honor to acknowledge by fhis note, in addition to our conversation to-day. the receipt of your invitation to address the citizens of Lynn, on Thursday evenine, in support of the re-election of the Grant policy and his ad ministration. No invitation could have greater weight with mc from any part of the country, nor from any posion of my fellow-citizens, and it cives mc great pleas ure to assure you that i .thing could be, added to your suggestions as thc repre sentative of the citizens of Lynn, to in duce me to accede to Hie request. Their kindness of many years ago is a continu ing life remembrance, and not'ing would give me greater satisfaction than to renew my .associations with them ; but I regret to*say that I am not in accord with them in regard to the Presidential canvass. Against my wishes and personal interests, I am compelled tn believe and to say that the perpetuntion ff the present policy of the Government i? not for the advantage of the country, and that it will not tend to establish its former good and prosperity nor to promote the interest of any class of its citizens. No personal feelim- or mv form or character enters into i!'??. ind? ment. * It is in view of general principles and public interests alone that I om led to this conclusion. The uni'ting of the masses-of people of nil Darlies, sections and races in support of the grand results of tho war. is indis pensable to the permanent establishment of. a general recognition of these results : it can be secured by no other means. We shall all be forced to this conclusion sooner or later. This united action on this ?vsis has been the hope of my life. I fervent ly desired it during the war end in the reconstruction of the States subsequent to the war. I believe it is now tendered in good faith in the nomination of Greeley, and, for one, I cannot reject it. It was what I desired; its consummation. although1 sudden and startling, does not alarm me.* My duty to my country and myaelf re quires me to give him mv support. ? can not advocate before your friend- a di fi?r ent course, which neither my judgment nor my heart approves. It grives me most deeply to separate myself, in thought or act, from any one of those with whom I have so long" associated, and to whom I am so greatly indebted ; but I believe that the result will justify my'action, give to the country peace and prosperity, which is thepbject of our labors, and secure tb every citizen civil and political equality and freedom, which was won by the sacri fice of so many valuable lives. Accept the assurance of my lasting friendship and esteem, and bebeve me, . ' Yours, trulv, * N. P. BANKS. Too Late. The Administration party for nearly four years has had matters pretty much its own way. It started With great ma jorities in Congress, and it was almost equally strong at the North and South. Tue people were not difficult to please, and Hope told flattering tal s without number and without testraii. . And this is the Administration which now finds it self put upon the defensive and forced to resort to a hundred expedients to save it self from utter ruin. In South Carolina, for instance, a State in which the so-called Republicans have run riot, pilling up day by day the public debt, and carrying on a systematized plundering which it is fright ful to consider, thc real Republicans arc just finding out that no party can .stand the Scott-Moses style'oi managing mat ters. Judge Orr and mon of his way of think ing are seeking to defend Genera] Grant in South Carolina against himself, and to save him from the consequences of his j own blindness in giving the control of the i State into perhaps the. very dirtiest ?hands that ever manipulated the public money, j Grant's tax-gatherers and treasurers have I extorted and Btolen ti:'.' money of the poor, i and Grant's soldier.-, at. the po'nt of the bayonet, have backed up the thieves. The powers at Washing^! come rather tardily to their work of regeneration. Judge Orr, Mr. Corbin, and the rest of the quasi Republicans of the Stute luve allowed the knaves to have : :?.-ir own way, while the Head-Centre at Washington.has been deaf f*> complaints wl;:;!i have been loud enough m iii" ear- .:' every l-ody oise. Now thc Graatians li ive discovered iii it thc State must bo redeemed-from Grant ism! that Messrs. Scott ?fr Co., must, be sent to Coventry: and that the matters in thc pooi bankrupt and plundered Btato niust be -somehow arranged before the I next election! And loudly they call up. in 1 the Greeley and Brown mon to help th'?u Lin the desperate Work which 'hey hijve undertaken! Now. the funniest feature of tho whole case i < Judge'Orr's prescription for the evils which alilict the State. Hf* wants arl the white men to 'declare for Grant" ,;nd ally themselves with thc regular Re publican party. Th" Slate and National ; elections d . not come tog ihr. ? O':* q'i.r ly enough, if there is to be any rei ;n DI Mate aifa?rs, Judge Orr means that the ? Grant party shall have al! the benefit of ii The self-styled Reformers have been a.-?ced to keep the State y J National canvasses j separate but,"us they du not sec how any thing is to be made for Grant by doing that, they are bnt little inclined to doit. Trie Grantites are offered the privilege of leading the Slate Reform which is ?. ter ribly needed ; but they raunoi understand how anybody can be u Reformer ?mless he is ready to vote for : he renomination c an didate. They seem to haw some muddled notion that tho Grant party alone can get them but of it. . Judge Orr may be exceeding ih love with reform, but it is rather suspicious to find him of the opinion that reform means declaring for Grant !" His remedies are altogether too universal. Are you sciuce/. ed Lo death by laxgathers-dec'are foi 'irani ! Are you tormented by domicilii - ry visits-declare for Graut !

THE ADVERTISER. Kdgefield, S. C., Aug. 8,1872. The Election in North Carolina.: ' Th? election took place, in North Caro lina, quickly and. quietly, qn Thursday last. From the first, both parties have persistently claimed the victory. The official count is not yet marie, but vre feel wo are quite safo in saying that thc Con servatives have elected their State ticket and achieved such a victory over Fede ral patronage and Federal power as is unknown in the history of party politics in this country. Tn this election tho Radicals wore moro than ever powerful and unscrupulous. The neernos were compacted into a solid mass, by the Leagues and tho use of monoy. There may have been individual exceptions, but tho great body wore moved like a machine. Persuasion nnd intimidation were employed, as one or the other was deemed most efficient. Enormous sums 'of money were raised in New York, and drawn from the Treasury by public, officers under false nr^rpvts, to corrupt tho ballot box and import fraudulent voters from the ad ;^;p^r. states. Nothin2 was left undone that Perverse iriffennity, audacity and knavery could suggest, as useful to carry the election. But ovftr'rdl this the Conservative" have Mumrihed brnvely and patriotical ly. There is a clear and emphatic ma iontv in the old North State against Radiealism. and this majority the Con servatives have brought to the polls. . A Raleigh dispatch,' dated the 6th. says : All the counties have been heard from except ten western counties, with a vote thus : Caldwell has gotten even with the Shipp majority of 1870, and in the re mnining counties each candidate stands an even chance. Eight of the counties to hear from are in the 8th district, and the eleven counties already heard from in that district gaveMorrimon a net gain of over one hundred each. Everything turns upon this, and the Democrats are hopeful of maintaining the gains. The Republicans are .quite confident, and claim . Caldwell's election. The excite ment is subsiding as the people have be come exhausted from excitement. The Latest From North Carolina. The telegraphic dispatches from !North Carolina, of August 6th, the latest, are multitudinous and confusing. The re sult is still undivided and uncertain. Merrimon and Caldwell, the gubernato rial candidates, are lip and lip. Both par ties still claim the State. Out of the eiglit Congressmen, fo?r Democrats aro eleeled beyond all doubt. One of theso is Gov. Vance. Three of the other Districts have elected the Republican candidate. One is still doubtful. The Legislature is large" ly Conservative. .-n _r._".<&".._.. Sumner's Incontrovertible Letter. This week we lay before our readers thc late famous letter of Senator Sumner. This man, Sumner, is a giant in moral and intellectual force. And that a South Carolina editor should say such a thing -should feel called upon to say such a thing-is a startling proof that times do really change, and people with them. . Tins ail-convincing and totally-incon trovertible letter must necessarily con vert every intelligent colored man who is a free agent. The negroes of thc South will never sec it, never hear of it-that is, not one in a hundred-but the colored mon of tlie North and West cannot but yield to its clear proof and open honesty And there is 'equally much in it, too, to open the eyes of the white Republi cans. Since this letter, Senator Sumner has written another, equally excellent, to Speaker Blaine ol the House of Repre sentatives, who reproaches him with affiliating with Democrats and secession ists. From this last letter -we clip the following passage : What has Preston Brooks to do with the Presidential ?lection ? Never, while a sufferer, did anybody hear mc speak of him in unkindness, and now, after thc lapse of more than Half a generation, 1 will not unite with you iu dragging him from the grave where he sleeps, io. aggravate the.passions of apolitical con diet and arrest the longing for concord. And herc is the essential difference be tween you and meat this juncture : I seiko thc opportun;ly to inn'kc the equal rights of all secure through peace and mciliuiion, but this infinite Ixion you ?voiriu , o.-;pone. - Tuc Ditaatlcs Again on thc Verge" of Starvation.

MISSISSIPPI.-The weather since lot! June, is reported to us as having "bo?i warm with frequent showers and mud more favorable than during same perioi last year. Our correspondents haveseei or heard of army worms in twenty coun ties, and boll worms-in sixteen, but gen ' erally only a few of these insects hay appeared in each county. The plant with very few exceptions, is represente! as being well formed and bolled. La borers continue to work well. Pickin? commenced last year, about 1st Septem ber, and will probably begin this yea in early planting, about 20th Angust, an in late, not b?foro 10th September. LOUI?TANA.-Tho weather h.as been ii smile 11 iies too dry, but generally warr with frtcuent showers. Latterly to much nun has. fallen in somo parishes particularly in those adjacent to the Mis sissippi river. The earlier part of th Top is well formed and bolled. The In tor is jr^nerally ?loinir very well, but i ?nid to be not "fruiting" well in som parishes, especially in those on the Mis sissippi river, already mentioned as hav inp had an excess of wet weather. Scarce ly any complaint is made of labor. Av erago of estimates in. relation to .com mencement of picking, place it last voa at about 31st August ; this year, in carl; planting, at about 16th August, and ii late at about 10th September. Tho arm; worm is reported as havinc appeared i: twenty and the boll worm in eighteei parishes. ; TEXAS.-The weather since 15th Junt has been very ?tvorable, much more s than last year. The plant is in fine con dition, well formed and bolled. Nocom plaint is made of the labor. In some c tho lower counties pickinjr bas airead; commenced, but tukinp tho average c our reports for the whole State we fini that it will begin in the early planting about 13th August, and in the'late (aver; small portion of the crop) about 1st Sep tember. It is said to have been genera last year about 22d August. A few arm; worms have been reported in ten, am boll worms in seven counties. AUKANSAS.-The weather since lot! June, has in some parts of the State beci -oasonable, in others too dry, and ii others too wet ; on the whole not myora ble. Throughout the State, ^avcra-riiii t lie reports sent us, it cannot bc said 'to nave been either decidedly more, or dc cidedlv less iavorablo than during th same period last year. In some coontie the plant is said to bc well formed an: bolled, bat as a general thing it is not sc We have some complaint of labor's be lng interrupted by political excitement but the bulk cf laborers are doing well Picking began last year about 5th Sop tember, and is expected to commcne about same time or a tillie later this yea in early cotton, and about 22d Scptembe in late. . . TENNESSEE.-Thc weather since th 15th Juno, has been very favorable to th ?Trowing crop, generally moro so thai last year. A few only of our latest let ters speak of heavy rains. The plant i? reported as very * thrifty being bette "forme'd" ami .J1 bolled*' than usual Neither army nor boll worm' is reported Labor is satisfactory. Picking is said ti have been general hist year by l?tl September, and this year will probably bc so hi early cotton by 7th September and in late by 25th September. ALAIIAMA.-The weather from 1511 June, until early in July was favorable but has been since, very unfavorable Heavy nuns have fallen, causingovernov of bottom lands on which very man] entire crops have been destroyed. It i's estimated hy some of our correspondent' that thc damage done to thc crop, through out the Stato by rains, storms and over How, during thc month of July, will amount to a reduction ol' fully lorty poi cent from what, at thc end ol'Jun'.-, ii promised.to yield. Until the headlining nf July thc weather was more favorable than last year. The plant is said to bc well formed and bolled. Laborers arc working well. We have reports ol' army worms having appeared in fourteen named counties. One correspondent re ports them in ten counties which he does not name and which may perhaps be in cluded in tho fourteen already mentioned. Boll worms aro reported in only a few counties. Picking began last year about 27th August, and is expected to com mence! this year in carly colton, aliout August 17th, and in late, alioul 7th Sep tem her. NOHTII CAROLINA A NU SoUTlt VlR uiNiA.-Thc weather lias been generally wot since 15th June, and not more favor able than last year. Tho bulk ol' the crop is not well "formed ' and "bolled." Liiborers are not working as well in North Carolina as in other Stiles, a con siderable portion of their time being de v ?tad to attendance upon public meet ings. Army and boll worms are report ed in only one or two' counties. Picking last year began about."Uh September, ami tlii.s year will begin in early cotton about 10th Septem ber, and in late about tho 25th September. SOUTH CAROWNA.-Tho weather si ( 15th .1 uiui has been showery, tho r. ni having become excessive in s< .?i" i >ui ties in .Inly). On the whole it has been more favorable than, last year. Taking favorable and unfavorable reports to gether (which are about equal in num ber) thc crop seems to be only moderate ly well " formed'' and " bolled." A Icu army worms are reported in oiriy ono county and boll worms (in small num bers) in three. Picking commenced hist year about 24th August and will proba bly begin this year in early cotton about 21st August, and in late about 18th Sop U mber. Laborers continue to work weil. G KOKt?lA.-Tho weather from 15th J imi to about 1st July was quite favorable, but since the latter date it has been too wet. On tho whole, however, more favorable than Last "year. The crop is well "form ed," and theearly planting well "bolled." Laborers continue to work well. Cater pillars are reported to have been seen or heard of by our correspondents in Hi counties-boll worms in only a lbw. Av erage of statements put the beginning of picking last year at about 2iltn August. Picking is expected to begin this year in eariy planting about 22d August, and in late cotton about 14th September.

A l?lca for thc Ku-Klux. WASHINGTON, August 4. Gerritt Smith has visited the Ku-Klux prisoners nt Albany, and urges clemen cy in thc case of SamuclG.

Mr. Smith says iu his letter to Grant that Sho?wcll, ono of the North Carolina men, is d?liant and scorns pardon, and is stud ying- law. Mr. Smith, however, sug gests these pardon-, should bo postponed until allier tba elevuon, as it might be thought that.clemency was prompted by interested motives.

ED?TOU: Having "laid by" rrvy. crop, and being in consequence "a gen tleman of leisure,", I?-concluded a fen days since tq^ibtke ai-trip tofjb? Saluda side of the County; and ? would? ask permissipn briefly fb. ; tell you.wJiat I saw an dr heard" there. As to the crops, the usual subject of a countryman's .letter,' I will be silent, as tito people are! already through your columns posted concerning-.jthoir status. The first object that caused mo to pause was the sight of the ruins of Dr. Allen S; Dozier's house, which, with all the surrounding out-honscs and their con tents, was" 'destroyed by fire on Tuesday night, the30th ultimo '; supposed to have been the devilish work of an incendiary. Tho Dr. and his'family have," hy this mis fortune, been made houseless, scarcely saving a suit of wearing apparel, and Having all their provisions' consumed. He deservedly receives th*? sympathy of his neighbors. ' T then journeyed on towards Bl ease's Store ; and here were hapnenin? events that stirred up my indignation from tho lowest depths. It was the arrest of cer tain of our peaceable and law abidjne: citizens by ono'- J. A. Battio, Special United States Deputy Marshal for Sonfh .Carolina. It seems that he came into the' neighborhood with a bundle of warrants, and communicated to Mr. Blease the names of tho citizens about to be arrest ed, and gave him permission to inform the gentlemen, and request them to deliver themselves up, thus saving the humilia tion of an arrest. Acting upon snch ad vice, the following citizens surrendered themselves:-Mark Smith, Fayette Ad ams, Oliver Haltiwanger, John Lewis, Edmond Martin, Wade Taylor,. John Bladon, Frank V. Cooper, Joseph Cul breath, Wm. Griffin, Elijah Attaway and George Horn. There were also warrants for Elihu Stephens and Mathew Corley, respectively seventy-five and eighty-five years of age, but they were not molested, on account of their extreme old age. Some colored witnesses havo likewise qeen arrested. Marshal Battio behaved very well in tho matter, treating the prisoners with crreat consideration. He allowed them to go to Columbia by private conveyance, and under a leader of their own selec tion. When they had all assembled at Blease's Store, ' Mr. Joseph Cnlbrcath was ohosen to take pharge of them, and they set out to report at Columbia. Bat tie's conduct is in marked contrast to that of Anderson, the heartless official vrho lately, at Newberry,' separated a husband from his wife, who wAs'on her dying bed. He seems to remember that an officer can do his duty and be a gen tleman at the same time. * Tho notorious J. C. Harris, more fa miliarly known as '-Heck" Harris, was likewise about this time taken into cus tody ; but not in so peaceable a manner as the others, nor on the samo charge. When the party attempted to arrest him, with a pistol in one hand and a sabre in tho other, he grew very belligerent, and snapped his pistol at the breast of Mr. Blease, who had boen specially deputized to accompany .the United States soldier; but a judicious blow or two quickly calmed his warlike spirit, and he was carried under guard to the capital. As to the outrage of disturbing the other citizens in their peaceful avocations, I will say nothing, for the press, North and South, is teeming with denunciation of tho course of the United States au thorities, and we can only hope that No \ ember may put an end toit, by thc ejec tion of " Honest OM Horace" to preside over tho destinies of thu *'btv>t govern ment the world ever saw."

Glorious and delightful us the Summer weather is, its tropical heat is asevere trial to the vital powers, ?von the strong est arc sometimes prostrated by its effects. The common phrase applied to tins' con dition of the body is " general debility." Now, general debility ?irises from, and includes a variety "ol' ailments. The liver is inore or less affected, tho bowels arc cither constipated or too much re laxed, tho stomach but half performs tho work of digestion, thc appetite is poor, and tito spirits depressed. This is what is called-gencr.il debility. It is a general disarrangement of .all thc physical func tions, and requires as a remedy a medi ciiii^lhat will regulate them all. Hos retter's Stomach Bitters is specially adapted to this parp?se. Its general op eration is not confined to a single organ, if thc liver isaffectod, ll restores its tone. If thc stomach is torpid, it regenerates it. If tho nerves aro tremulous and weak*, it braces and reinforces them. If the mind, which ever sympathizes with tile body, is gloomy anil despondent, iL relieves the difficulty, and soon brings tho whole mechanism of thc body into harmony with thc laws ?of health. There is no civilized nation in the Western Hemisphere in which thc utili ty of Hostelers Stomach Bitters as a tonic, corrective, and anti-bilious medi cine, is not known and appreciated: Throughout thc Tropics it is considered, both by thc people ami the profession, thc standard specific. While it is a mcdi ciho'for all seasons and all climates, it is especially suited to the complaints gen erated by the weather, being the purest. and best vegetable stimulant in tho world. Beware of tho Bitters made of acrid and dangerous materials,- which unscru pulous parties aro endeavoring to foist upon thc pcopljs, Their name is legion*, and thc public has no guarantco that they are not poisonous. Adhere to the tried remedy, Hostettcr's Bitters, sold only in glass, aud never in kegs or barrels. An Important Consideration.

Dear Sir-You make two preparations which, it appears to mc, are worthy of a moro general acceptance than they have had as yet, probably because they luivo not boen " puffed" in thc newspapers. I allude to your Liver Pills and Aromatic Elixir of Citrate of Caffeine. The former have been used in my own case-torpor of tho Liver-and. >n my family with a marked success, and I believe thom su perior in all biliary derangements to any pills now made. The Cafl'eino is tho only remedy that lias, in my experience, proved effectual for nervous headaches. It never fails, and tho' relief it affords is delicious; for not only does the pain cease, but a pleasant exhilaration super venes, and suffering is converted tb pleasure. A vial ol'it is kept at home and one at my office, that I may never be without it in caso of need. , Very truly yours, JOSEPH P. CARR, At'n'y at Law. Dr. Tatt's Hair Dye requires but a few minutes. TRUTH AND POETRY.-Milton puts into the mouth of Lucifer, in " Paradiso Lost," these memorable words "TO nE WEAK TS MISERABLE." Never was a truer ?entcnco written than this-supposed to bo wrung from tho Arch fiend in Iiis impotence ami ago ny. Evory victim nf nervous 'debility, or of that doprossing languor which is one of tho accompaniments of dyspepsia and biliousness, ?ran testify to the misery of mind and body which thoy involve. Tho motive power ol' thc system is par tially paralyzed ; tho mind is haunted by anxiety and fear ; and tho sufferer is as incapable of applying himself ener gotically to any kind of business as if ho were under tho benumbing influence of catalepsy. This terrible mental and phy sical condition need not, however, bo en dured for forty-eight hours by any human being.
