From the Chronicle & Sentinel, 4th. Greenwood mal Augusta Railroad Meeting. Prom a gentleman of this city, in ? tendance as a delegaie to the railroad b: becne and meeling held at Greenwoi South Carolina, on Thursday last, in fi therance of the projected road, to conni Augusta with the prosperous and fe rt upper districts of South Carolina, wo ha the gratifying assurance of the favoral results of that meeting" in adding a fr< impetus to the project in which the co mercial interests of our city are so dire ly concerned. About three thousand persons were % attendance from the surrounding distri of that section of Carolina earnestly se? ing a railroad connection with the marl of their choice. Among the participants were quiti number of colored men, heartily in accc with tho enterprise, and willing to did the extent of their ability both by su . scriptions of money and' labor. In e' dence of their earnestness in the matt several shares of stock were subscribed them on the spot. The citizens of that section are tb oughly enlisted in thiB enterprise, ai means of opening up to their agricultu: Tin docto access to a nearer and beti :et taau their present railroad fad will enable them to reach. Irides . of them do not hesitate to deel: a failure of this project will rendel necessary for them to seek other localit in self-defense. The universal favor whi is worded- this projected line by c .South Carolina friends .was manifested the most unmistakable manner at t meeting'. They went there prepared ? ward the enterprise by sub?criptic .:iike of money, labor and material nee sary for the construction of the roi which were made with a liberality indii tive of the enthusastic appreciation of t great advantages which its completi will s-.Kiure to them.

The meeting was also effectively at dressed by I. T. Hoard, Esq., and "Cap O.^N. Butler, of Augusta, and bv Gel Bradley, Capt. Wr. R, Bradley, Mr. Biak and Mr. Hemphill, editor of the Abbe ville Medium. The projected route of this road is know to those familiar with the proposed loca tion as particularly favorable to a chea construction of the line to the Savanna river. /Qf about 55 miles in length, th line runs along a ridge, between tw crooks, the?entire distance to the rivci with no expensive bridging until the rive is reached. A meeting of the corporators was heL on the occasion, Gen. P. H. Bradlev bein called to the Chair, and Capt, \Vm. j Delph, of Augusta, elected Secretary.

A COLORED KU-KHW S< ; RA PE, IN CAM DEN.-?ne Camden Journal of the 1st says: On the 15th ins;., near English's Milln in ihi? County, one Harry Mollac, a col ored man, was visited late at night by certain parties, who knocked at the door of his house and asked if he was in, but not waiting for an answer, burst open the* door, and rushing in to the number of fif teen or twenty, Jell upon the struggling Harr}* and threw him to thfe ground, after which they slipped a bag or cap over his head and thd it tight around h;s neck. They then tied his hands and feet, and carried l?m a ' distance in thc woods, when tl ey fir Liv- deposited him upon the ground, anr. ia?;ing sticks beat him until they tbougi t ho was dead, cut off a piece of his ear, and untying him left him there. After some hours he recovered suflicient ly to drag himself home where he has been lyiug 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 onp of them was a ntgro, though there was one * who was*liphter in clor than the rest and he, .said Ham', might have been white, but I dont think so. The ca"se cf the beating was alleged to have been that Harrv bewitched his cnt'^'a ter-tn-law, who has lately died. For fear lest Radical sceptics may dis believe ?his, we have fortified ourselves with abundant proof which shall be forth - c aing 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 Sir. : I have the honor to acknowledge by this note, in addition to our conversation to-cav, thu receipt of your invitation to address the citizens of Lynn on Thursday evening, m support of the re-election of the Grant policy and his ad ministration. No invitation could have greater weight with me from any part of the country, nor from any portion*of my fellow-citizens, and it gives me great pleas ure to assure you that nothing could be, added to your suggestions as the repre sentative of thc citizens of Lynn, to in duce me to accede to the request. Their kindness of many ye^rs apo is a continu ing life remembrance, and not' mg 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 Prwdentinl canvass. Against my wishes and personal interests, I am compelled to believe and to say that the perpetuation of the present policy of the Government, is 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 nf any class of its citizens. No personal feeling of mv form or character enters into i ??=. Judg ment. * It is in view of general principles and public interests clone that I nm led to'this conclusion. The uniting of the m?sse?of people of all parties, sections nnd races in sunport of the grand results of thc war. is indis pensable to the permanent establishment of. a general recognition of these results : it can be secured by no other Truans. We shall all be forced to this conclusion sooner or later. This united action on this basis has been the hope of ray life. I fervent ly desired it during the war and 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 although j sudden and startling, dhes not alarm me.* My duty to ray country and mvself re quires me to give him mv support. ? can not advocate before your friend- a differ ent course, which neither my judgment nor my heart approves. It grives me most deeply to separate myself, ih 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 labore, and secure to every citizen civil and political equably and freedom, which was won by the sacri fice of so many valuable lives. Accept the assurance of my lasting I friendship and esteem, and believe me, Yours, trulv, N. P. BAKES. Too Late. The Administration party for nearly four years has had malters pretty much its own way. It started with great ma jorities in Congress, and it was almost equally strong at the North and South. The people were not difficult to please, and Hope told flattering tal? s without number and without ?estrain;. And this is the Administration which now finds it self put upon the defensive and . forced to resort to a hundred expedients to sav^: it self from utter ruin. In South Carolina, for instance, a State in which the so-called Republicans have run riot, puling 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 men of his way of think ing are seeking to defend General Grant in South Carolina against himself, and to save him from the consequences of his own blindness in giving the control of the Stale into perhaps the. very dirtiest-hands that ever manipulated the public money. Grants tax-gatherers and treasurers have extorted and .stolen thc money of the poor, and Graut's'soldiers, al the point of the , bayonet, have backed up the thieves. The powers at Washinguyi come rather tardily to their work ot' regeneration. Judge Orr, Mr. Corbin, and ihe rest of the quasi Republicans ol' the State have allowed the knave.-; to have vieir own way, while the Head-Centre at \vasiungton.has,bee.n deaf rt) coinplaints which have been loud enough m th'- ears of every body else. Now the Grar.tians have discovered that tile State must be redeemed-from Grant ism! that Messrs. Scott ? Co., must be sent to Coventry: ui?d thut t?ie matters in the poor bankrupt and plundered State must bc .somehow arranged before the next election ! And loudly they cull upon the Greeley and Brown men to help th??u tin the desperate work which .'h-y hjjve undertaken! Now. the funniest feature of the whole case i* Judge Orr's prescription fo;' th* evils which aiilict the State. He? wants ak the white men tq 'declare for Grant" .-.nd ally themselves with thc regular Re ?pnblican party. Th- State and National elections dp not conic togethe: :' but qm.-er ly enough, if there is to bc any reform O' State affairs, .Indy Orr means thai the Grant party shah Lave all thc benefit ol' it The self-styled Reformers have been asked to keep the Slate ai J National canvasses .-.paiale bul.'a.s tliex do not see how any thing is to he made for Grant by doing that., they are but little inclined to do it. The Grantiti s are offered the privilege of leading the Slate R?. form winch ;s ter ribly needed ; but they <"annot understand how anybody can be a Reformer unless he i- ready to vote tor the renomination can didate. They seem lu have som? muddled notion that the Grant party alou?ca? get them out of it. . Judge Orr may be exceeding ih love with reform, but it is rather suspicious to ?ind him of the opinion that reform means dedaring for Grant !" His remedies are altogether too universal. Are you squce/.- , ed to death by taxgathers-dc<j:u-e foi 'irani ! Are you tormented bv domtcili. - ry visits-declare for Grant ! ara you dis .f.stc-d with thc' spectacle of a lair State ?n the felon gra ;p of swindlers and extor tioners-declare for Cirant ! That is, if you would be rid: of Grantisui, try atio !; ;. dose of it sweetened ?villi sugar of reform isn't this pelitial homeopathy with a ven geance? Treatment of some kind it eau not bc denied that poor South ? amlii needs. Thc enforcement act - not by jinj means, a dead lotter. "There isa pite ol warrants for arrest," wc are told, in Union county alone, a foot and a half thick. Not a dozen citizens oi the county of Sax-, on blood will escape." Tli?s is oii'.y a r.pecir?ien statement, and :. would be easy enough to add to ii. They talk of noth ing there but arrest? an I taxes! They groan for'reform, and they are told to vote for Gen. Grant ! .1 edge Orr cnn offer them nothing but a hair ot tile dog which bit them! Ari unfortunate people indeed ! New York Tribune. Two GRAVES IN OKE.-A gloom is again caut ovi r our city bv the death of two of her aged citizens, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Brooks, who departed this life on Thursday and Saturday last, respectively. Their funerals were preached at the Bap tist Church by thc Rev. Dr. Furman, and their remains interred in one grave, in the city cemetery, on Sunday last.

THE ADVERTISER. Kdgefield, S. CM Aug. 8,1872. The Election to " North Carolina. ' The election took place, in?Torth Caro lina, quickly an&^quietly, oin Thursday last. I'Tom the first, both partie !?'?ve persistently claimed the victory.' Tho official count is not yet made, but we feel .wo are quite safe in saying that the 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 were more than ever powerful and unscrupulous, The neem?s were compacted into a solid mass, by the Leagues and. tho use of money. There may have been individual exceptions, but tho great body wore moved like a machine. Persuasion and intimidation were employed, as ono 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 prrfevt?!, to corrupt tho ballot box and irnnort fraudulent voters from the ad ???nlps: SHtes. Nothing was left undone thnt norvcrse ingenuity, audacity and knavery could sngpost. as useful to carry tho election. But ovr'nll this the Conservative" have tHnTnphorl bravely and patriotical ly. There is a clear and emphatic ma inritv in rbe old North State against Radicalism, 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 Shi pp majority of 1870, and in the re maining 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 gave Merrimon a net gain of over one hundred each. Everything turns upon this, add the Democrats are he peful of maintaining the gains. The Re publicans are .quite confident, and claim . Caldwell's election. The excite ment is subsiding as the people have be come exhausted from ex ci'cement. The Latest From North Carolina. The telegraphic dispatches from North Carolina, of August 6tb, the latest, are multitudinous and confusing. Tho re sult is still undivided and uncertain. Merriman and Caldwell, the gubernato rial candidates, are lip arid lip. Both pat ties still claim the State. Out of the eight Congressmen, foin- Democrats aro elected 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. Sumner's Incontrovertible Letter. This week we lay before our readers^ thc late famous letter of Senator Sumner. Tliis man, Sumner, is a giant in moral and intellectual loree. And that a South j Carolina editor should say such a thing -should feel called upon to say such a thing-is a startling proof that times do really chango, and people with them. . This all-convincing and totally-incon trovertible letter must necessarily con vert every intelligent colored man who is a free agent. Thc negroes of thc South will never sec it, never hear of it-that is, not one in a hundred-but the colored men ot the 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, Senutor Simmer has written another, equally excellent, tu Speaker Blaine ol the House of Repr< sentatives, who reproaches bim with affiliating with Democrats and secession ists. From this last lotter - 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 the lapse of more than naif a generation, 1 will not unite witli you iu dragging him from the grave where he sleeps, to. aggravate th&passions of apolitical con tlict and arrest the longing for concord.

NOT NAMED AFTER THE POET.-Tho Lexington Observer and Reporter has this comment upon a paragraph which has gone the rounds: "Old John Har per, of this State, tho owner of the cele brated horse Longfellow, that won tho great race at Long Branch the other day, was asked why ho named his horse ofter a Yankeo poet. The old fellow replied : " He was ? long horse, and for that reason I called him longfellow. D--n the Yan-: kee poet; I never heard of him before.'' , Petty Spite.

A Plea for thc Ktt-Klux. WASHINGTON, August 4. Gcrritt Smith has visited the Ku-Klnx prisoners at Albany, and urges clemen cy in the case of Samuel G. Brown, aged sixty, who pleaded guilty under bad-ad vicc, and Hezekiah Portor, aged, nine teen, who is dying, and David Collins. Mr. Smith says in his letter to Grant that Shotwoll, one of the North Carolina men, is defiant and scorns pardon, and is stud ying- law. Mr. Smith, however, siif gests these pardons should be postponed until aller the election, as it might be thought thal clemency was prompted by interested motives. The letter is quite sh irt, and so curiously written that the entire loree of experts iii the attorney gcnerol's piHco were required to put it in such shape that Giant might be able to master its purport. -<-a.??>,i.- i Ku KLUXISM.-Tlie Sumter New says that, a few high ts-ago, a tunnel bf disguised negroes, in the upper part of the County, seized a colored mun-; wh?m they charged with being a Voudoo or witch doctor, cut one ol' his cars oil) and then beat or whip ped him most unmercifully.

MIUED?TOU: Having "laid by" my crop, and being in consequence "a gen tleman Of leisure". ?"concluded a few days since to'take a.'trip to the Saluda side of the County ; . and I. would? ask permissipn briefly fb toll you.r?hat ? saw nnd;heardthere. ' ' As to tie crops, the'usual. subject of a (.ountrjTnan'SLlettor,' I'.will besiilent, as tho people are already through your columns posted concerning ftheir status. The first object that caused me to panse was the sight of the ruins of Dr. Allen S: Dozier's house, which, with all the surrounding out-houses and their con tents, was'destroyed by fire on Tuesday night,-tne 30th ultimo-; supposed to have been the devilish work of an incendiary. The Dr. and his'family have," by s'L.s mis fortune, been mado houseless, scarcely saving a suit of wearing ?pparel, and Having all their provisions' consumed. He deservedly re?oives th*? sympathy of bis neighbors. I then journeyed on towards Bl ease's Store; and here were hapnonin?? events that stirred up my indignation from the lowest depths. It was the arrest of cer tain of our peaceable and law abiding citizens by one' J. A. Battic, Special United States Deputy Marshal for South .Carolina. It seems that he came into the' neighborhood with a bundle of warrants, and communicated to Mr. Blo?se 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 stich ad vice, the following citizens surrendered themselves :>-Mark Smith, Fayette Ad ams, Oliver Haltiwanjrer, 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 have likewise qeen arrested. ' . Marshal Battie behaved very well in. the 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 Galbreath was ohoseh to take charge of them, and tiley set out to report at Columbia. Bat tie's c?nduet is in marked contrast to that of Anderson, the heartless official who lately, at Newberry,* separated a husband from his wife,'who was'on her dying bed. He seems to refnember that an officor can do his duty and be a gen tleman at the same time. 1 The notorious J. C. Harris, more fa miliarly known as "Heck" Harris, was likewise about this time taken into cus tody ; but not iu so peaceable a manner as the others, nor on the samo charge. When the p'arty attempted to arrest him, wi th a pistol in one hand and a sabre in tho other, ho grew very belligerent, and snapped his pistol at the breast of Mr. Bloase, who had been specially deputized to accompany .the United States soldier; but a judicious blow or two quickly calmed his warlik" spirit, and-' he was carried under guard to the capital. As to thc outrage o' disturbing the other citizens in their pe? /cful avocations, I will say nothing, for thc press, North and South, is teeming with denunciation of tho 'course of tho United States au thorities, and we can only hope that No vember may put an cud twit, by (lie ejec tion of " Honest Obi Horace" to preside over tho destinies of tho "bc>t govern ment tho world ever saw.''

Glorious and delightful as the Summer weather is, its tropical heat is asevere trial to the vital powers. Even the strong cat ar s' mcinnes prostrated by its effects. The union phrase applied to this* con ditio. Sf the body is " general debility." Now, i neral debility arises from, and includes a variety of ailments. The liver is more or less affected, tho bowels arc either constipated or too much re laxed, tho stomach but half performs the work of digestion, thc appetite is poor, and tho*spirits depressed. This is what is called'gcncral debility. It is a general disarrangement of.all the physical func tions, and requires as a remedy a modi cinCflhat will regulate them all. Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters is specially adapted to this purposc: Its general op eration is not-confined to a single organ. Ff thc liver is affected, it restores i ts lone. if the stomach is torpid, it regenerates it. If the nerves aro tremulous and weal?, it t races and reinforces them. If the mind, which ever sympathizes with tho body, is gloomy and despondent, it relieves the difficulty, and soon brings tho whole mechanism of tho body into harmony with thc laws ?of health. There is no civilized nation in the Western Hemisphere in which tho utili ty of Hostettor's 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 and thc profession, thc standard sp?cifie. While ii is a modi ciho'for all seasons and all climates, it is especially suited to tho complaints gen erated by the weather, being the purest, and bestvegetablestimulant in the world. Bowaro of tho Bitters inado of acrid and dangerous materials,* which unscru pulous parties are endeavoring to foist up?n thc pcopl?. Their naine is legioii, and thc public has no guarantco that they are not poisonous. Adhere to the tried remedy, Hosteler's Bitters, sold only in glass, ?ud never in kegs or barrels." Au Important Consideration. Dr. TUTT'S LIVER TILLS are PURE LY VEGETABLE, and aro adapted to yoong and old, male and female, and may bo taken at all times, without re straint of occupation, without chango of living, without diet, and without thc fear of taking cold, during all kinds of weath er, and in all climates. 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 been "puffed" in tho newspapers. I allude to your Liver Pills and Aromatic Elixir of Citrate of Caffeine; Tho former have been used in my own case-torpor of tho Liver-and, in my family with a marked success, and I believe thom su perior in all biliary derangements to any pills now made. The Cafl'ciuo is tho only remedy that has, in my experience, proved effectual for nervous headaches. It never fails, and the 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 of It is kept at home and ono at my office, that I may never bo without it in caso of need. Very truly yours, JOSEPH P. CARR, At? n'y at Law. Dr. Tuft's Hair Dye requires Out a few minutes. . TRUTH AND POETRY.-Milton puts into the mouth of Lucifer, in "Paradiso Lost," these memorable words " TO UE WEAK IS MISERAnliE." Never Was a truer sentence written than this-supposed to bo wrung from tho Arch fiend iu his impotenco and ago ny. Every victim of nervous -debility, or of. that depressing languor which is one of tho accompaniments of dyspepsia and biliousness, can testify to the misery of mind and body which thoy involve. Tho motivo power of tho system is par tially paralyzed ; tho mind is haunted by anxiety and fear ; and tho sufferer is as incapable of applying himself ener getically to any kind of business as if he were under tho benumbing influence of catalepsy. This torrlble mental and phy sical condition need not, however, bo en dured for forty-eight hours by any human being. PLANTATION BITTERS is an abso lute specific for all the torments which a deranged stomach, a disordered liver, and shattered nerves, superinduce.
