DEDICATED TO THE BEREAVED. . / ?j_i How dark the hearthstone. Oh ! how lone the shrine - i Where late we gathered in our happy home; The hallowed altar, whore at evening time, The light of love pierced through the twilight's gloom. Our boy, our only ono, to whom we looked For strong support when time should drift his snows Upon our heads, and wbose protecting love Should bring our age a calm and sweet repose. Oh God 1 how hard it was to see )fpn die, Ere the Bweet wine of life had warmed his heart ; To see death's fingers touch his cheek and brow, To hear the mandate giv'n, that we should part. But tho' with ruthless dart the tyrant froze The pulsing blood that thrilled the childish form ; .Yet gleam'd the waves on yon celestial shore, Where now the angels shield his soul from harm. We miss thee, darling, when the opening day Wakes our sad hearts to feel our griev ous woe ; , When scintillates tho sunbeam o'er the sea, At vesper hours we bend beneath the blow. No more can earth's temptations woo thy will To deeds that blot and mar the spotless soul ; Nor fell disease life's crimson current Chill But painless youth, tho' countless ages roU. In meek submission do our spirits bow To Him who gaye theer\.took tho hence away ; Oh, God, our Father ; though we loved our boy, We bless thy mercy, that he's thine to-day ! May weso stri ve.thatwhen the angels call, To stem the treacherous waves, to us be given, We calmly lay us on our dying bed, Yield up our souls, and join our boy in Heaven. S. A. L. For tho Advertiser. Intimations of a Hasty Jaunt. From Edgefield to any part of Oconee, atias Pickeus, alias Pendleton, theroute, by private conveyance, seems long enough to make tho most inveterate/o</y sigh for a Rail Road and it is rough enougkto try. the patience of Job. ;Jf people would only work their roads, the ' troubles of travel, in ? great measure, would instantly vanish. Self-respect and self-interest alike demand that we keep our highways and byways in good order. Who would buy laud in a section of country, where roots, stumps, rocks, and gullies are encountered at every turu of the wheel? Stringent orders from the County Commissioners to a prompt, ac tive and determined overseer operate like a charm in tho matter of working the roads. This has been demonstrated with the most satisfactory results in many neighborhoods. The Road Law, I believe, is good enough, let it be wisely and firmly enforced. From sweet May until gloomy Novem ber, the condition of tho crops forms a universal topic of conversation. None may ignoro this ail-important subject. In driving ovor a hundred miles across tho .'cotton belt," I saw some beautiful lunns, and I talked with many a thought ful plauter. Everybody sees now that au average yield of the tleecy staple is out ol' the question in South Carolina. Au area equal to thc extra acreage planted was given up, to tho weeds and grass un account of tho excessive rains in the spring. The balance ol' tho cotton crop in consequence of the rust, the worm, and the lack of proper tillage, will fall short of the production realized iii former seasons. The Great Air Line R ilroad, built along thc base ol' tho mountains, con necting Charlotte with Atlanta, has made tlie wilderness and the solitary place clap their hands for joy ! Vast sums ol'money have been put in circulation, and every industrious mau along the line has al" ready got his share of it. A superabun dance of tho finest water power, sur rounded by extensive forests of valuable timber, has beou suddenly brought to t?e notice of the interposing capitalist. Many a fertile and lovely valley, hereto fore wrapped in profound seclusion, has been opened up to the markets of the world. A range of grand, old Mountains, sanctified by tho very spirit of the beau tiful, has been transferred, as it were, to the temple doors ol' Fashion and Litera ture. A malignant typo of fever is prevail ing in tho vicinity ol'both Pendleton and Anderson. The disease, so unusual in those localities, had its origin in some rice fields hard by, which had boen flooded at intervals during the " heated term." Oilier parts of Anderson Dis trict, remarkable heretofore for health, havo been plagued this year with chills and fever. Too much cotton, some say ; others, who seem to chop the better logie, account for this sad reverse, by pointing to the creek and branch bottoms all sob bed, and overgrown with the rankest forms of vegetation for the want of prop er drainage. Abbeville too, in some of her most healthy sections of ridge coun try, has been invaded by the miasm of the swamps. .As one of the most salu brious climes in ' the world, Walhalla and its surroundings still maintain their proud pre eminence. One of the most desirable sections of the "Palmetto 8tate," including the whole of Oconee and a portion of An derson District, is situated between the Tugaloo and the Seneca. The inhabitants of this rich and pleasant country are making arrangements to become an in tegral part of Georgia by the process of annexation / Liberal subscriptions in money have been obtained to. defray the expenses of. transfer. " The Governor's brother-in-law, who is a lawyer, has un - j * -taken the job'in Columbia, and if not ' successful,'he is td make no charge for his services."

Thc City Election-A Trinmph ol leal Rascality and ^raud. The following account bf "the city tion held in Charleston, ott Wedn for Mayor and Aldermen arid school missioners, is condensed from the published in the News anoV^kniricr The one-sided process which hos miscalled a municipal election?came end last evening; and of ail the ele that have been held in Charleston the advent of "freedom," tra was ce ly the greatest burlesque ur&n, the ri, popular representation.' Fertile first m the history of repu Irhcah^gro vern h the people were kent in profound rance ot the whereabouts cf "the p precincts until after the polls- had opened. The board, afterithe .firs which they had prepared.w'^e made ? on Tuesday afternoon, changed the cincts. While the adh?rente of the cal ticket were represen ted jon the 1 of Managers, and were kept tHoroi posted on the subject, all injbrmatioi willfully and shamefully kept from repr?sentative of the citizens' Cons ti ve party. When the polls were opened, at 5 o'c yesterday morning, it was Scarcely light, and the managers andVallying' mittees of voters had to use lantern light them on their way. The Consi tive? in the city, by good fortune am tremelv early rising, managed to fine the locality of all the precincts, save and were on duty promptly^to see a start. Most of the managers perm the Conservative working ^?mmittei examine the ballot-boxes:.and pol books before opening the polls, am this way some little confidence was es lished. The polling places were twe one in number, distributed m the var wards. As has been already stated, the mai ers in the city proper generally acted 1 some degree of fairness. It^was at country precincts that the dirty work done, and done in, so shameless and lainous a manner as to excite the di?; of every decent man in the commur white and black. In a little shanty the corner of Moultrie abd Ruth streets, near the Race Course, a pol place was opened secretly, at 5 o'clock the morning, and as nobody'., knew of location, nobody was present except Radical manages and their .friends. ' ballot-boxes and poll-lists were not exi ined by any of the Conservatives, whether it was full or empty when the 1 loting began, it is, of course, imposs to say ; but by the time the Conservati heard of the opening of this noll, and in an appearance, the managers had m aged to receive some 500 b.?liots-g sound Cunningham* balbte-rr-sach as manager was bound to ask any questi about. Ina radius of a halfmile fr the polling-place, there are nbt proba mora than auout seventy-fivo or 100 n dent voters. Viewed with-a-knowledgi these facts, it may ' bc considered a gc thing.

Allison arri cd in the city from Edisto, having on boa about 200 negroes from the island. Th< were landed on the wharf and taken chargo by some of the deputies or rullyi-i and at once set about the business fi which they were imported. They yob early and often. Captain Toglio, the con mander of the vessel, in reply lo questioi asked hy our reporter, staicd thal h steamer"had arrived befoie daylight in tl morning from Edisto and way landing.? that she had brought about 200j uegroo; who came from Edisto and various poi ni along the route ; that they had not poi their passage, but that C. C. Bowen, tli Sheriff of this Ceunty and a candida! for Alderman, had made arrangements t pay the same, the price being seventy-fiv cents per head for each voter who cam from Edisto, and fifty cents per head fe those coming from the intermediate lam! ings. Arrived in the city, the excursion ?sta left the wharf and proceeded, wit! cheering and'boisterous, revelryym the d rection of East Bay street. Their part ii the city elecci?n is well known. Bowe; ordered 1,000 loaves of bread from a prom inent German baker, with which, it i supposed, they were fed, and the black then went to work at the polls. Th steamer which made thc spccicl trip to ac commodate Mr. Bowen's repeaters, -s own ed bv Capt. Toglio and others, and is sup ported entirely by the merchants and oth er business men against whose nearest in tereste the Edislonians. came to vote. I will bc well for her, in future, to seek hei business exclusively among the Radicals whom her owners have helped to elect. On Tuesday, the streets swarmed wit! colored men from the neighboring islands who had been brought to the city, ir small boats and otherwise, to participate in thc election. Those immigrants walkec the public ways, with the rations of bread and bacon, which had been, issued tc them, in their bands, .some ol." them com menting on the shortness of the supply. Ex-Sheriff Mackey's house, in King street, near Broad, was a great hostelry, and waa crowded all day with those who had been imported for the work. There were other places, besides Mr. Mackey's, which shel tered illegal voters, who had been inspired with the idea that they, in doing what they did, were discharging a sacred obliga tion to the party. Tue arrests made during the day num bered about thirty, and were principally for violations of the election law. There were some arrests for breaches of the peace, and, in one or two cases, for draw ing pistols.' Most of V the arrests were made by the deputy sheriffs, the majority of whom had never before been invest?! with authority such as they exerci-*d yes terday. Had they been experienced offi cers, the ' majority of the' arrests would not have been made. Lieut. Heidt was assaulted, very early in the morning near the .race course, by" a party of colored Radicals, who pulled him from his horse and beat him in the most unmerciful- manner.? They pushed 'his head into the dirt,, and kicked him and struck him over the back until ho was badly bruised. The cause of the assault was doubtless .his. vigilaucc in ascertaining I where one of 'the/ secret precincts had been - established at midnight ' on Tuesday, by a ; party who slipped out- of the city in a . carriage, in which they had the ballot * Xbx) returns ?TOJO all the precincts show that Mr. Cunningham, ;the Republican I candidate for Mayor, is elected over Gen. 1 .Wagener by 1,295. majority. Good Radi ' c'al .work was done in the two precincts UD ? the road, which were in fall blast before ? their existence was known to the Conser vatives. ; The second precinct of Ward 7 I gives Wagener 9 votes, and Cunningham [ 225; this was on the shell road. The I third precinct of Ward 8 gives Wagener I 29 and Cunningham G?3; this was near j thc race course. In 1S71, the total vote of Ward 7 was 652. This year it is far greater. The vote of Ward 8, in 1871, was 1,210; this year, thanks to the new poll, it is 1,801. Very few split tickets seem to have, been voted. The Conserva lives haye elected the School Commission ers in the first and the fourth wards, and there is a tie in the fifth ward. The following is the result of the vote for School Commissioners, as far as re ceived : Ward 1-W. B. Yates, S62 Ward 2-J. H. Brawley, 977 ; Ward 4 C. G. Memminger, 2,356 ; Ward 6-E. B. Seabiook, 774 ; Ward 7-B. F. Evans. . Negro Rule In Alabama. The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, edited by a son of cx-President Tyler, gives the following sad account of the condition of that negro-ridden State, and shows the necessity for a white man's government and a white man's party, to avert from both races the evils that all must suffer who are totally disqualified to discharge the important duties of] rulers. Tho Advertiser says: "The white man's government party has become an imperative necessity ! it is now eight years since the war, and Alabama is poorer to-day than eight years ago in despite of all her labor, sacrifice and suffering; Apparently, in present results^she has produced noth ing for eight yTars, instead of billions in money. Every year in moral and social virtues she is sinking lower and lower. It is time the.-negro rule, under Radical teachings, should end, or in a few years there will be little left to admmister upon. The friends of a white man's government wish, and intend if they can, to stop this material waste and moral corruption. They do not wish and can not if they would, deprive a single negro of a single right, and the wicked white and negro papers and politicians know it well. But we are resolved if po.ssible.to saveourselves, and the negroes too, from tlie gravest evils. The question is not of freedom or rights of any -sort. It is, shall a white man's government or a ne gro government prevail in Alabama?" Fatal Accident. One of the most distressing accidents we have ever recorded took place on Sun day morning last, resulting in the death of Mr. George W. Davis, a young man about 22 years of age, who resided six or seven miles west of this place. It seems that he borrowed his father's double-bar relled gun a few days before, and had dis covered that one of the locks -.vas out of | order.

Peixotto <ii Sons, auc tioneers. The company is said to have owed about $S,000 for insurance in this ."?tate, and these bonds were advertised for sale by order of the court, to indemnify the losers, the company having become insolvent, and several judgments having been obtained against them. There1 was considerably inquiry concerning the bonds before the s-.de, but it was not very gene rally attended. The bonds consisted of eighteen one thousand dollar conversion bonds, and foot five hundred dollar bonds, issued for thc redemption of the billi ol tile Bank of tho Stair. The whole lot was put np ut once, and the bidding was started at live cent- oh thc dollar. The interest amounts to twelve dollars per hundred on the li rsl day of January next.

A suit, under thc so-called Civil Rights law, was decided in Yonkers, New York, on the Srd inst Oil Saturday allegro, named William Jackson, brought sui: before Justice Baird, in the City Court, against Josephine Lewis, keener of an ice-cream saloon, to recover ?500 dam ages by reason of the defendant's refusal to soil plaintiff and other friends ico cream; on the evening of August ll Ralph E. Prime, counsellor Mrs.'Lewis, argued at some length that the defend ant's saloon was not a vehicle of common carriage, or a licensed theatre, or publh place o? amusement, a common school, or institution of learning, a place for the interment nf dead bodies, or a hotel or tavern, or in any way coming within the construction of tho Civil Rights bill John W. Graham, counsel for plaintiff, argued that the saloon came within the meaning of an hotel or tavern. Judge Baird gave judgment for the defendant, dismissing tho case with costs, and uig ger Jackson and bis lady friends left the court-room in disgust. The Walterboro' News (Republican) thinks thatasalargoamountof tho State debt was illegally contracted, it would be unjust for the people lo bo taxed to pay the full face of the bonds, and urges the General Assembly to agree upon some equitable compromise with tho creditors of the State whereby the debt of tho Suito can bo fairly adjusted.

It uppears that a young girl, whose name is not given, living near the town named, was discov ers i by her parents to be enciente. A few days after the discovery they took their daughter to a corn held near the house and forced from her a living child. They then threw the babe into a shallow hole in tho ground and deliberately stamped it to death, so frightfully mang ling it that when they coniploted their hellish work it was difficult to distin guish the lloxh and bono from mud and clay.

It stands in a lonely meadow, The house so mossy and brown, With its sombrons old stone chimneys Aud ?Ls gray roof sloping down; The trees fold their green armsaround it The trees a century old And the winds go chantingthrough them, And ibo .sunbeams drop choir gold. The cowslips spring in the marshes, And Un; roses bloom on the hill; And beside the brooks in tho pastures The herds go feeding at will ; Within thc wide old kitchen, Tho folks sit lhere in the sun Which creeps through tho sheltering woodbines When the day is almost done. ? The children have gone and left thom, They sit in tho sun alone; And the old wife's ears are failing And she harks to tho well-known tone That won her heart in girlhood, That has soothed her many a caro, And praises lier NOW for tho brightness Her old face USED to wear. She thinks again of her bridal, When dressod in her robes of white, As sbo stood by her gay young lover In the morning's rosy light. Oh! tho morning is ros2'as over, But the rose from her cheek has fled, And the sunshinr-still is golden But it falls on a silvered head. They sat in peace in the sunshine Till the day was almost done: And then, at its close, an Angel Stole o'er tho threshold stone. Ho folded their hands together. Ho touched their eyolid? with balm : Ana their last breath floated onward Like the close of a solemn psalm. But the shapes they loft behind them, The wrinkles and silver hair, Made holy to us by kisses Tho Angels have printed there; We'll hide away'neath the willows When the day is low in the West, Whore the sunbeams cannot find them Nor the winds disturb their rest. Perhaps in that miracle Country They will giye their loRt yoiith back ; And tho vanished flowers of spring time Will bloom in the spirit's track, But we'll suffer no tell-tale tombstone, .
