THE ADVERTISER. Edgefield, S. C., Oct. 10,1872. "Let Us Work for Our Redemption. Let us work for our redemption through thc peaceful agency of the ballot box. In another column stand the proceedings and result of the Mass Meeting of o*ur citizens on Monday last After much discussion and mature deliberation, they have nominated a tull ticket of County officers. This nomination is emphatical ly in tho cause of public reform, public retrenchment, and public and private decency^ And it is as fair towards the colored people as towards the whites. We have not the slightest hesitation in say ing that tho white citizens here nomina ted would serve the colored people with far more faith, farmorodisinterestedness, aud far more capacity, than the corres ponding nominees on the Republican ticket. If the eolored people, especially those who live in distant parts of the County, are wise, they will vote for this ticket As to the white people,- no ra fit ter what their views may have been be fore tho nomination, it, is now clearly their duty-every single man who has a vote-to come forward on election day and cast their ballot for Retrenchment and Reform. Tlxere is no telling the pow er of an active, compact and a persistent minority, especially whan vices ami di visions roign among their opponents. Georgia has sot us a noble example To day all alien power is at an end within her borders. To be sure she had not the numerical majority to overcome which South Carolina has. But we are inclined to think that had we worked all this while as persistently as the Georgians*, the negro majority would long since have lost its solidity and cohesiveness It is not in iha nature of things-if we think earnestly about it-that intellect, education, property and persistent de termination can ultimately prove una vailing in such a contest with nuch op ponents. Let us therefore begin to-day to rally from eur supineness, resolved to make the best of our tdtuarkm. Events have shown the folly of brave and in telligent people abnegating .their high privileges and duties. We earnestly exhort *v9ry voter in Edprefield to make it his duty, through thick and thin,1 to be at the polls on Wednesday next, and vote for the ticket nominated by tho Mass Meeting on Mon day last. Alteration in tho Reform Ticket. Dr. W. H. Timmerman, nominated on Monday last, in a card whose sentiments do him much honor, declines to be a candidate for the Legislature upon the Reform ticket. Dr. Timmerman is a wise and patriotic citizen, and as the^ time is so short, wo rogret his action in the matter. However, the citizen he so generously names, Wm. Haltiwanger, Esq., is one of our very best and fairest At the suggestion of Dr. Timmerman, and upon consultation with a number of follow-citizens active in the late Meeting, we insert Mr, Haltiwanger's name in the original ticket, and call upon all friends j of Reform to give him their suffrage on thc 16th. "Down with the Carpet-Baggers." . The Charleston New* raises the cry of " Down with the carpet-baggers." .Upon thc carpet-bagger, 'says the News, rests the responsibility of the siege of troubles, against which the white citizens Strug " gled in ?vain. The Newa proceeds, very justly, to arraign the carpet-bagger upon various counts, and thus cent-ludes its article: "This is reason enough why the Con servative voters should refuse to have aught to do with the ticket of the Toin liuson-Corbin faction of the Radical par ty. That ticket is the expression of the carpet-bag principle, or want of princi ple. The election of that ticket rivets the chains which now hang loosely about the limbs ol' this people. The death of the carpet-bagger is the life of the State." Let us all reiterate the. News' cry of '.' Down with thc Carpet-Baggers," ami keep up the shout and the fight until the last one of thc thieving plunderers is driven from office and political prefer ment. Yea, "Down with the Carpet Baggers !" And up with tho banner of peace, reform, and good government. - i .IO?. ? JJJ-TIIQ Charleston Republican-the, dirty mouth-piece and nose-rag of the phosphatic TcinJinson party-in its ma lignity towards tho Advertiser, and all who will not bow down and worship the Carpet-Bag Bummer and insignificant bribe-taker-and'the detested Orr, Cor bin it Co Bolt-goes out of its way, in its issue of tho28th, to make an uncivil ?nd wanton,attack on tho Advertiser. The paragraph to which he alludes, like hundreds of similar ones going the rounds of tho press, was unthinkingly written in a spirit of jest, and not based on facts, as his own discernment ought to have told him had nothis reason been blinded by prejudice. And this very paragraph^ at which' the piously compas sionate and very refined penny a-liuer of the Republican appears to be so incensed and horror-stricken, we have since noticed in journals of the highest respectability, and ' published without comment; without credit, and classed With otb or items of wit aud frivolity But what amuses us is the Republican's ' affectation el' a Sentiment of refined feel ing Who would have thought it? The Tomkinson Journal-!-The Orr Echo! Thc Bowen AjK>iogist !-The Corbin De fender ?-all embodied in the Charleston Republican-a sheene- lost tu every sense of shame and decency as to advocateday after day Reuben Tomlinson as a fit and proper person for Governor of ?-'o?th Carolina,-"going back" on it? short lived but ignominious record, and for :!io nonce, with perfect nonchalance, ex patiating concerning refined sensibilities and sympathetic emotions. Verily, won ders will U3ver cease The Outcast, and (Xher Poems. By J. W. Watson, author of " Beauti ful Snow," is in press tiud will bc pub lished in a few day.-i by T. B. Peterson ?t Brothers^ Philadelphia? Tho poemwhich lends its name to the book, "The Out *cst," treats its subject with originality and feeling at once delicate and intense. The despair of the wretched parent, for lits -wife and children, is depicted with true artistic effect. Ali tho other poems in "Theduteast," possess great interest, amd display a lively ?ml pleasant laney, sis well as a genuino, hearty synrpatny with all tho joys aud sorrows of human ity. This volume will tako strong hold of the heart and memory, and will live and last, lUce "Beautiful Snow," be causo thc poems, in it touch many chords of human sympathy. It will be pub lished in one large octavo volume, uni form with "Beautiful S/jow," being printed on the finest tinted plate paper, and bound in morocco cloth, with gilt top and side, and beveled boards, price Two Dollars, and will be for sale by all Booksellers, or advance copies will be ? sent at once, by mall, to any ono, free of postage, by the Publishers, on receipt of price. ^ ^ w ggp" At Lyons, New York, on the 2d', A farmer's team ran away, throwing the man out of the wagon and killing him. In the afternoon, a relative named Fox drove to the village for the purpose ef procuring a coffin for the deceased, and | in crossing the Central Railroad track, a ; locomotive collided with the wagon, and < Pox and the horses were killed. The ( locomotive and two or three cars were < thrown into the ditch. No person on ] the train was injured. 1 "Handle Not, Touch Not." We are gratified to know, through the voice of our mass meeting on Monday, that so many of Edgefiold's sons, haye firmly resolved to take no hand in elsjjfc ing to office either wing of the Repute can State ticket. They very consc^a? tiously and very correctly look upon the Moses-Hoge-Joe Crews Ryig as a robjjer band of reckless thieves and plunderers; and upouthe Tomlinson Orr-Bowen Bolt as a vile crew of ravenous vampires who would despoil us of our last farthing and gloat over our misfortunes. Yea, we are proud that our people will continue to preserve their self-respect and ever honorable record by refusing to support either the ticket led by the Scalawag Moses-the base spendthrift aud infamous disburser of fraudulent certificates-Or the ticket led by Tomlin son, the whining Carpet-Bagger and phosphate bribe taker. We have BO confidence in the Moses Ring-none in the Tomlinson Bolters. And, therefore, for the want of a bettor ticket to vote for, will let the election of State officers go by default. We cannot be a party to putting thieves in office, even if, in the opinion of some, policy should prompt us so to act. Policy at times'may be a good eard to piny, but policy never has, and never will, so far influence the people of Edgefield as ta cause them to support disreputable and notoriously dishonest men for office. If we cannot vote for those worthy of our suffrages, we will not vote at all. The Elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, indiana and Nebraska. The elections in these States took place on yesterday, Tuesday the 8th. The Au gusta papers which have reached us this morning, contain numerous telegrams concerning these elections. Out of all these we glean that Hartrar.it, the Radi cal, is most probably elected in Pennsyl vania ; Hendricks, the Democrat, in In diana; Nebraska gone Republican; no opinion as regards Ohio. AU ls as yet, however, confused and uncertain. ' The Democratic majority in Georgia, with 32 counties still to hear from, I? 50,*>71. It will doubtless reiwh 60,000. Greeley Items. Hon. Wm. W. Eaton, a leading Demo crat m Connecticut, who di d'nt like the Greeley movement, .said in-State Con vention there Wednesday j " It is said there are Democrats who will not vote ! the ticket. Well, there may be some. To such, I propose to address my seif. I did say at a dinner-table, some time ago, that I didn't like to take medicine .till I was sick. Well, I got sick. And ! out of 50,000 Democrats in this State, 49, 000 were taken sick about the same time. The dose in the cup, marked Greeley, is the best medicino we can take. Adams would have pleased me better, but Gree ley is the nominee. And he is attacked with more violeuce by his late Republi can friends than any other man has ever been-and what for ? Because he means to stop the stealing." Gov. Brown of Georgia advises the Liberal Republicans of that State to sup port the Democratic State ticket, and to vote fbr Greeley and Brown. 'The Wheeling Register says West Vir gini? will give' ten thousand, majority for tile Greeley electoral ticket The Indiana Sentinel thinks the State will give Greeley 20,000 majority. In 18G3 it gave Grant 11,500 majority. No one who is posted estimates the Conservative majority in Virginia at less than 20,000. It is more likely to bo over than under that number. Connecticut will certainly go for Gree ley, and probably by a large majority. The Liberals and Democrats are offering large odds on the result, but there are no takers. It is universally admitted that nothing comparable to Greeley's Western ova tion ha?? over "been known since! the time 6f General Harrison. The people every where were wild with enthusiasm for Greeley and Reform. The Philadelphia 'Herald tells the Dem ocrats and Liberals, und the friends of reform, and tho opponents ef tho Ring, that if they will go ta the polls and vote j on thc. 8th of Oe to bor, and in addition will exercise strict vigilance in regard to the intrigues of the Ring leaders tlie city will be carried against Hartranft by .5,000 majority. Graut Item?. The Buffalo Courier has gone to thc trouble of collecting a number of Inter esting reminiscences, in regard to some individuals just at present by no means unknown to fortune or to fame-(in-l'ame perhaps). J 1?re they are : It was Wm. Loyd Garrison, who de clared the constitution a " covenant with iieil." It was Geu. Grant, who threatened to take his regiment ovcrta the rebels if J slavery was interfered with. Lt was Johu A. J. Creswell who urged Marr land to secede from the union in lftL It was John A. Logan, who recruited lifty-one men in Illinois for Beauregard's army. It was Wm. Loyd Garrison, who " thanked God that he had work od for thirty years to break up the Union a3 it was.'"'. It was Judge Settle, president of the Graut convention, who was kicked out j >f the rebel army for robbing sick sol diers of hospital stores. It was the president's father, who got ? permit from his son to steal cotton du ring the war. ; It was Senator Morton, who spoke of | fthh r>tUchn?Vn. who are only 'flt te cot cabbage and drink lager.'' : It was Henry Wilsou, who took a solemn oath never hi vote for u 'Catholic or a foreigner. It was Mrs. 'Jen. Grant, who received a 525,000 check for " the government's" share'in Black Friday. It was Henry Ward Beecher, who stated that " Grant knew more about horses than statemanship." It was Wendell Phillips, who wrote from (?alena that " Grant bowing several old.whiskey bills, here." It was Bert. Butler, who sahl a ?year ago " Grant Im-sn't thp soul of a dog." It was Zack- Chandler,. Who stilted to Chas. A. Daua that " we never had such an ignoramus In the White House. It was Robeson, who paid a claim of | ??2,000 over a law made on purpose to prevent it. It was Bullock, a Grant Governor, who stole millions of dollars. A tug-boot'honied/'Geaoral Grant,?' sunk in the Penobscottat Bangor, Thurs day last, about two feet of her smoke stack remaining above the surface. The other General' G ran t will sink In Novem ber, and his "smoke-staok" will beso far under water that it will never appear again. The New York Mail says that in one respect Grant has the start of Greeley iu this campaign, for Grant quietly smokes his cigar and Greeloy takes the stump. The miserable postmaster at Broad head, Penn., whose salary is thirty dol lars per annum, complains that he has been ordered to pay twen|y-fjve dol lars to thc G rant campaign fd nd, Tiio maia reasort why. the Grant, party don't want to "clasp hands" is because if they opened their paws their stealings might fly away. Stealing the Negroes' Mc ney. SAVANNAH, October 3.-Tue money sent hero from Washington to pay the polTtaxes of the negroes was appropria ted by the white Radical managers, who gave negroes bogus receipts. This swind ling operation deprived'a large number rf negroes of veting. There.ia great in dignation among the negroes. They also jollected money from the negroes to pay poll taxes and kept it, giving the same bogus receipt M ass. Mee tin g. .

Talbert and J. C. Sheppard were elected Secre taries. It was thou moved that the question be considered, as to whether it is wiso j and politic to place a ticket in the field. Thin question was discussed calmly, dis passionately, and with a thorough ap preciation of all'the obstacles that would be presented-and it was resol ved that a nomination be made. Upon full discussion it was further more resolved that a mixed ticket be nominated.

W. T. GARY, Chairman. J. D. TALBERT, 1 Secretftries J. C. SHEPPARD, .J SECRETANES The following appears as a portion of a paragraph hi yesterday's Edgefield Ad vertiser,-viz: "We would go a mile or a mile and a quarter any time to see a ("horse race or a cock fight, and so would a maiority of Edgefield people." Where are tue missionaries ?-Columbia Union. Listen to that self-righteous pharisaical ink-slinger.. Making hypocritical enqui ry for missionaries for Edgefield, because of our frank admission that many of us like to witness a spirited horse race, or a game cock light occasionally,-throw ing the " first stone" at us? and'blinded I apparently tc the hellish depravity of| some of his carpet-bagger friends, In whom he swims to " live, move, and j have hi9 being." Yea, you Union men, gather up your missionaries-net to send to Edgefield-but to labor with, and pray for, your espmal pride and pet R. K. Scott-and your right bower) Niles G. Parker-and for Neagle, and Chamber lain, and Mosos, , and Corbin, and Hur ley, and others, who have grown rich by plundering H bayonet-ridden people But we fear all the missionaries in Chris tendom would not be able to bring about a reformation in that thieving crew. The Penitentiary walls might check them but nothing short of a niiraclo from heaven can save them. Missionaries for sooth ! "Pluck the beam out of thine own eye," you man of the Union, before wandering toe- far out In the moral vine yard-and we will hear loss about 313,000 printing bills, and the Lunatics will not be so apt to sillier for tho want of coal. Where are the missionaries? The Captain Carter who mado his ap pearance in the Radical County Conven tion in Charleston, and represented him self as a special envoy from President Grant to Mr. Moses, is still in jail in Co lumbia. He is charged with forging the followiug letter : TREASURY DEPARTMENT. Washington, D. C., Sept. 28, ?872. General F. J. Moses, Jr.: SIR : Secretary Boutwell directs hie to say that he will be in South Carolina on the 7th of October, to take part in thc Presidential campaign. Sawyer endeav ored to damage your interests, but I think, he bas materially failed, as the President said to me yesterday, " tho Moses party is the only one for ?s in South Carolina " Captain Carter, who will hand you this, you will rind a'sharp, shrewd, clear siglrt?d roan, and one. iii whom you can place implicit confidence. Hoping you will have all tho good luck imaginable, I remain, my dearsir. yoursvery truly. W. A. RICHARDSON, Assistant Secretary Treasury. How to Take Life. Take life like a man-take it by the forelock, by the shoulder?, by the spiuo, j by every limb and part. Take it just a? I though it was-as it is-aa earnest, vitid, j essential affair. Take it just as though | you personally was born to the task of! performing a merry part in lt: as though ! tho world hid waited for your coming, j Take it as though it was a grand oppor- j tunity to do and to achieve ; to carry f forward groat aud good schemes ; tohelp i and cheer a suffering, weary, it may be j heart-sickened brother. The fact is, says an exchange, life is undervalued by a great majority of ma--: . kind. It is not made half as much of m should bo the case. Where is the man or woman who accomplishes one tithe of .what might be done? who cannot look back upon opportunities lout, plans un achieved, thoughts crushed, aspiration unfilled, and all because of the lack of the necessary aijd possiblo effort. If we knew better how to take and make the j most of life it would be far groator than it is. Now and'then a man ?tanda- aside from the crowd, labors earnestly, stead" lastljyconfidently, and straightway be comes famous for wisdom, intelloct skill, greulnes? of somosort. Thc world wonders, admires, idolizes ; and yet it only illustrates what each may do if li? take* hold of life with a purpose-by tho head and shoulders. Ir* a man but say he will, and follow.: it up by tho right effort, there is M ii.jug iu reason he may not expect to >uiplish. There is uo magic, no miracle, no socrot to him who is brave in, heart ajid determined in spirit. GOVERNOR SCOTT AND TUE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.-Thc New York Tribune does not seem to Lc al all frightened at thc threat of Governor Scott t'p institute legal proceedings against it. In its issue of j Wednesday hut, the Tribune saya : The Associated Press thinks proper to telegraph a rumor from South Carolina< that ?Governor fccott of that carpet-bag ruined Coinf. H!wealth threatens to sue the Tribune for libel. Governor Scott will think better of it. What the Tribune di. was to report the statements of a Grant man about- Scott. They-were not complimentary, but they were at least as milt! as thc statements current in newspa ?ers rauch nearer Governor Scott's home, he Governor is a shrewd man in his gen eration, and may want the little eclat which a guilty man gets when, with a virtuoas'pretence-of innocence, he threat ens to "sue his defamers;" bot he is too shrewd to'pursue the case further. DEATHS.-The followings deaths of aged and highly respected citizens occurred at their respective residences in th? County, during the past month : 1 . Rev.

[From the Sumter Nows.] Late'on Wednesday evening, the 25th ultimo, a young White girl, residing near the town, while on her way home, ann* just as she reached the. neighborhood of , the railroad, was set upon by a fiendish scoundrel, a colored boy, catling himself Samson Dick, who would doubtless haye . accomplished his devilish purpose, had he not been deterred by the timely arrival of one of the railroad employees, near the spot, in a hand-oar. Tho cowardly brute, hearing the approach of the hand-car, de sisted From his attempt, and fled to the adjacent woods, where he concealed him j self for a considerate length of time, un til he thought he could venture to leave.) with'safety to himself. The father of the unfortunate girl, however, had received intelligence ot' the attack upon his daugh ter by this time, and was on the lookout, gun ?n hand, for the guilty perpetrator ol' the deed. He intercepted this villain, as he attempted to emerge from his shelter, arrested and delivered.him into the hands of the jailor. ' # THE RIOT IN MACON.-The Telegraph and Messenger, of Thursday contains a long account of the attempt of thc negroes to seize the polls in Macon. They were incited to the course they pursued by JelT j Long, a notorious negro incendiary, who, when they got in trouble, fled from thc scene and left them lo take care ol them selves. The affair was begun by thc ne groes, who fired a shot into a crowd of j white people near the polls. The firing on thc part of the whites was done alto gether by the Special Deputy Sheriffs, who were endeavoring to preserve order. One white man and three negroes were killed, aud two white men and several colored wounded. The negroes soon re tired in disorder, and afterwards refused to return and vote, although every oppor tunity to do so was given them. The whole difficulty grew out of the attempt of the negroes to crowd the whites away from the poHs, as they did in the two pre vious elections. The entire Democratic ticket was elected :i Bibb coucty by nearly 2,000 majority. T?IK LAUGEST COHN CHOP EVER MADE. -The Chicago Journal, of the 2Sth ult., ..ays : Ihe first heavy frost of this season throughout the Northwest appeared on yesterday morning, but fortunately the co?r crop is so far matured that frost im proves rather than injures it in its present stage. The corn crop of this countrv the pre.-?nt vear will be the largest and best ever gathered. Grain men estimate the grand total at a billion and a half of Bushels. With anything like fair- prices, thi? will add immensely to the aggregate wealth of the country and rejoice the hearts of our agricultural communities. Judge Mackey came up from Columbia on Monday last, and the same night took tito cars for New York. Thc purpose of his visit to that cit v is to bring suit against the New York Tribune, in behalf ofGov ernor Scott, for libel iii having charg?e the Governor with stealing a million of dollars from the Slate of South Carolina. We aro sorry for thc IHbune, if it has been so indiscreet as to make .?ny such charge as this. We hwe ne idea that Governor Scott has stolen any such amount, There were too many other leading lights of " the party of groat niora! ideas" wlio wanted some "sugar in thurn" for so large an amount to fall In the Governor's ?hare. Wc will vent?rn tho assertion*, though, that he didn't fail to take a dol lar that was within reach, if he has not gojt a million it has not, bien from ?my squeamishness on his part about appropri ating the resources of his " beloved State." -Chester Reporter. jf9r~ Eighteen thousand Communists T c still hold in prison in Franco, not vithstanding the large number of cases which have been already disposed of by court-martial execution, deportation to New Caledonia or acquittal.

Che little one lives in paradise, where hero is no more sick ness, no more pan, no more death. With glorious aoents now she sings, A golden harp o her is given ; The dome above vith triumph rings, A soul unstainel returns to'heaven. Our cherub daugltcr now has flown, To bc with Christ, tho dear Redeemer, Andlivosin Heavm, our hoped- for home Farewelll our <ariing, MARY EVA. BIKO, on the .th September, PAU LINE SMYLY, laughter of M. C. and J. C. SMYLY, agel eighteen years, ono mouth ami tweht; three days. Dii:i), on tho f>th September, J. C. SMYLY, in tho lity-second year of his age. Day aftor day d< we notice the death of | some friend ; som; family has been be reft; some home made desolate ; but never In the annus of history, or in the deepest fictions of romance, have weevor seen any homo so completely stripped, so dark, SO drear], so comfortless! Go there when tho sui sets his last evening rays ; watch tho twilight as it approaches, with its awful sifenco. Where is that fond mother, that mee sung her evening lullaby? Where ae those darling littlo ones? Where is Dat father whose foot steps woresoeagery listened for? Whore are those servant.- who ministered to them? Gone! all gone! And nothing but that awful stilness pervades those wills! All naturels lulled, sereno and still. The mother nany years'since had buen called home. Tho children had all grown to maturity hut justas thc rose was full-blown, tnt eldest was plucked ! For tiiis tho fathe was prepared, and yielded her withou a murmur, satisfied to sec her free fren pains. His mind was engrossed witl tho remaining onijs. Day by day did h'esec 'disease approach ing, yet dreaded :o confess it. Atlast when forced to acknowledge its presence, he called in tho bot talent of the Sta;e, and bade them do ?ll that skill could co. Hu laid thc case bore his child, told lier of the danger, of tie slender hopo that] was left, and awaitel her decision. uPa,rt she said, " I cahnotlivc as I am. Life is no comfort. Iwillmbmit to the opera tion, tliough it may cost my life. ? am willing to go, if it ii God's will, or stay If Ho so dV'.des." With porrect .firm ness, entire cheerfullest), she witnessed thc preparations, anl when all was ready, and her physician eked ber if she was willing, her reply was, "Give mo the ohloroform." So pa-feet was her confi dence that she nerer doubted, never feared, and when al was over she was still cheerful, still'hipcihl;, und bade her Zath or hope. On th' evening of the sec ond day, whou shofolt hor lifo waning, she said "J have bit one wish-to SGO my father and broiler. I shall soon be with my mother am sister." Thus she passed away, having proved to tho world nor innocence and s'otloss purity. The stricken fatlar could no ??ngjr bear up under his tnrdens, but sought te drown his grief. Mistaken one, think not to find medicinofor a troubled heart. Wan grief will hauri von wherever you Sr. He sought solitido ; beeraved rest, o sleeps-the lovei one is with him ; he talks to her of diieaso; she says her pain is over; she reads around with healthful glee. He iwakes-he shrinks -he calls aloud.-Ni loved one there to wait upon, Papa. Tba with a desp?jate, frenzied look, he sofcos his antidote for grief, and bids his friends leave him alone, that ho may ace more enjoy tho scene that solitude aid sleep alone can bring. Thus he pased away,, with no one near but her, win, in her spirit form, came to waft him to bat better land, and with him stand befon tho thrpno. To the lone and teiiier branch that is left, we can only say bok up ! The sepa ration ia not eternal ! There in a time for ro-union with tie loved ones who have cheered us herei To that time let usidllook! '. : .'? .. .
