Our town and1 its vicinity are "suffering from a drought which has already become injurious to cotton. In fact this drought prevails in most sections of our County. The heat and dust are well nigh insuffer able. A good deal ot new cotton is being forwarded to Augusta. On Sunday next, the Episcopal and . Methodist Churches will be open' for di vine service in the forenoon. The Baptist Church will be closed. The.Johuston Brass Band is really an element of glory in our present political campaign. When you see that huge green wagon, with its four prancing and ban nered grays, driven by that old and high toned citizen Major W. L. Coleman, then you may know there is going to be life and spirit m the thing. Our old friend, Capt. Johnson Bland, always sits .-'de by side with Major Coleman, and oehind them rise a forest of brass instruments In the rear sits Mr. John Bartley with the big drum. And by the-by, did you ever hear of this same John Bartley, when the Yankees overpowered his Regiment in the war and compelled it to retreat hastily, marching 27 miles in hot haste and confusion, but never dreaming of throwing away the big drum ? Smaller instruments were scattered to the winds, but John Bartley held on to the big drum through thick and thin, AS for us, when Major Coleman drive3 up the bannered grays at a public meeting, we say to our self: " Ail right now. No matter wheth er the speakers come or not." If our Ex ecutive Committee is able, they should certainly engage this Band to go the rounds of the campaign. Our friend of the Meriwether section, Mr. J. S. McKie, who has been to Char leston lately, where he has picked up such objet?, de vertu, has sent us a . bas relief j likeness of the negro Whipper, in some **Bwt .<* ?M??1 ki o nV^aompiql Cmttt ? -*^L. very ludicrous little thing. We promise to enshrine it in our inmost bosom. At the request of Capt. T. H. Clark, Clerk of the Edgefield Baptist Associa tion, which body meets at Batesburg on Friday next, we make the following an nouncement, for the benefit of ministers, messengers officers, delegates and visitors : The C. C. & A. R. R. Co. have very kind ly consented to run the accommodation train on Friday the 8th inst., in advance of the Schedule train, BO as to reach Bates burg on that day by 10 A. M. from Au gusta. The Company has also kindly consented to run a special train on Sun day the 10th inst, from Augusta to Bates burg, for the accommodation of those from Augusta or intermediate points who wish to attend the Sunday services and exer cises of the Association, at reduced rates. During the fall and winter, Mr. Pink nay Duiisoe, whose place of business is in the Advertiser building, will supply our community with the very best fresh j beef on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings. The negroes, under the leadership of Cain, Simkins and Bouey, will hold their Convention, for choosing delegates to the State Republican Convention, in our Court House, on Saturday next Their Township meetings, to this end, were held on Saturday last. Almost every night now, they hold a meeting, in secret ses sion, in the Court House. We are glad to see among us Dr. Ham met Teague, of Aiken. The Doctor brings with him his wife and little Horace Par ker Teague ; and everybody loves them and is delighted to greet them. Be sure, Hammet, that you let us see little Horace. Our friend, Mr. John H. Huiet, of Bite.-burg. sends us a tine account of a splendid Ratification Meeting held in that town on Saturday last, but uufortuiiu,tel it comes to us too late for this weel The first bale of new cotton sold at Johnston this season was raised by our 5'oung friend, Arthur Bland, and was bought by Mr. Wm.

Abney, Attorneys representing sun dry parties holding claims as : ublic school teachers, for services rendered daring the last scholastic ye ir in Edgefield County. The Plaintiffs' claim that McDevitt re ceived about six thousand dollars of the school fund from the State ? restorer, anti that he has failed to pay out a large por (ion of the same ; and also that he has j collected about two thousand dollars poll tax and hsa not accounted for it or paid it oat. - 2 Barreta of fresh, Baltimore Pearl Grist, ju^drAeiy^ed.

BRADLEY. Mr. Reese's Third Letter. The Great Show. PHILADELPHIA, August 29th, 1876. " One day is with the Lord as a thou sand years, and a thousand years as one day." But it is different with man. In a hundred years, old Mother Earth will find a new set of human creatures cling ing to her bossln. A withered specimen of vitality, here and there, is only an exception to the general rule. Of all the gay throngs that feast their eyes here with the beauties of Art, and the mar vels of Science, not one may hnpe to be hold the bi-centennial of the United States. But he who bows to the inevita ble and worships the true God, does not fail to rise suporior to every cloud of gloom, sorrow, discontent and melan choly! From Nature's charma up to Nature's Creator, the way is easy ana replete with spiritual compensations. A world without flowers would be like a soul without hope. Horticultural Hall is known here as " The Beauty." It is a superi? specimen of the Moorish style of Arcb^ecture in vogue about seven hundred yeareago, pre senting a curious combination of curves and straight lines with elaborate orna mentation. Embellished with blue, ver milion and gold, this building is a fit re ceptacle for the plants, flowers and shrub bery of the tropics-a suitable gem to the extensive and magnificent flower yard ad jacent. The view of the State Cottages, the Exhibition Castles, the Schuylkill River, the green hill? beyond the spark ling waters, the great City reposing m the haze of distance-all conspire to make this the most attractive spot of ground on the Continent of America. \t the centre of the Main Building, th rie is a round platform, about 3 feet htjT, and furnishecf with seats, where the musicians " most do congregate." This is a f topping place for all the weary sight seers, and it is "ir from being dull, plain or commonplace. Besides the four broad aisles crossing each other at right angles and opening each a vista as splendid as it ?3 seemingly interminable, there are in plain view four large Allegorical paint ings hung about fifty feet from the floor and intended as a compliment to the four quarters of the globe. Europe is repre sented by a picture of Shakspeare and Charlemagne; Asia by Confucius and Mahomet ; Africa by Sesostris and Ra meses; and America by Franklin and Washington. A capital idea, and it is well executed-very impressive, and very suggestive. And now I scrape up some of the scraps of my experience and observation. I have slept five nights on the " rolling deep" without ever feeling a twinge ol sea-sickness, and I have spent ten days and a half on the Centennial Ground, busy as a bee, without yielding to see sickness. In Agricultural Hall I met an old man, who asked me to show him that salt ! " What salt," said I. " A piece of Lot's wife," be replied ; "you know his wife was turned into a pillar of salt." " True enough," I replied, "but the rains have long since washed away all that salt." Still the old gentleman seemed to have faith in the actual presence of a por tion of Lot's wife, anti continued his search, doubtless, with no definite result. Ivory is prized almost as much as gold, silver or diamonds. I saw a French mir ror here in a heavy frame of Elephant tusk beautifully carved, valued at $1500. Also a knife 9 "feet and 7 inches long, in cluding the handle, which is made of solid ivory. I suppose such an implement might be used by a giant iu carving Ele phant hams. I observed a pair of Ele phant tusks joined together in such a way 08 to form a fine archway to one of the oriental exhibits. By the way. it seems to be a fact well established in the scientific world, that twice round an Ele phant's foot is equal to the height of his body ! I saw two elephants in the Zoologi cal gardens here, but I did not verify that curious measurement. Elephants, you know, are not always very amiable.

Trade tricks and novelty notions surprise and amuse one here at almost everv point and angle. A two story crystal palace, in which are sold so da water and other " goodies," has been erected in front of the Alain Gateway to the show grounds. Every evening, a crowd is collected to this soda fount by a steam organ played by hand in a balcony over the front door of the glassy house. The music is peculiar, very loud, but pleas mg to the ear, and withal it tickles the fancy. At Cooke's Railway office on the exhibit ground, yoti can buy an excursion ticket to every interesting point on the globe. An Egyptian mummy, ancient ar mor and weaDons from the upper Nile, be ides hundreds of other objects fit for a Museum, are exhibited gratis. Wild Arabs in tents to the rear of Cooke's office, in crease the novelty of this exhibition. Boomerang, bomerang, and womera are the several ways of spelling "a weapon of war peculiar to the Aborigines of Aus tralia. I handled one, and saw several others here yesterday. This curious im plement resembles a hawk or a whippo will on the wing. It is a heavy, wooden club about 30 inches long, 3 wide, and 1 inch thick ; flat on one side and round on the other; bent, without moving the flat side out of ita own plane. Just keep a green hickory stick bent until it is well seasoned, then trim off one side, making the ends sharp, and you have an Austra lian boomerang, which has so often served political wnters for a simile. This club is thrown, flat side down, spinning with great swiftness, through the air, and it will either come back to its owner, or turn to the right or left, according to its first position. If thrown with skill, it avoids those sudden and uncertain movements noticed in tossing flat stones through the air. But if ?green hand hurls the boom erang, it is apt to come back on the head of the one starting it. If a politician ad vances an idea that may be turned against him, forthwith he is twitted by a sly re terence to the boomerang. In the Mexican department, I saw a mass of silver weighing four thousand and two pounds, and worth seventy two thousand dollars. This silver cake is round, about 4 feet in diameter, thin at the edge, but gradually {/rjwing tideker towards the centre. It is placed upon a jttleck so as to make it look like a circul?t centre table. This rich lump of metal isl not enclosed at all-it being taken for granted that pickpockets would hardly be ablo to make way with it before its own- < era and the police could interfere. Th? Main Building is rich in jewels and thc precious metals. The French show a diamond necklace worth $40,000. I thought that was fine enough for the most ambitious, but at Tiffany's show case, I Raw a string of 27 diamonds, ar tistically polished and valued at $S0,000. The topaz is prettier than any other jewel, according to ray tee's. The one I saw in charge of the French is very large, and in color it is a happy compromise be tween brown aod yellow. It ts generally of a yellowish color and pellucid ; though it is often found colorless, and of greenish, blueish or brownish shades, and some times massive and opaque. Oh ! do let me tell you that I saw here a couple of Tasmanian devils, alive and all the way from Van Dieman's Laud They are of a blackish color interspersed with a few oblong, white spots, and about the size of a half-grown, bull terrier. Their **yes are almost blue, but they look-1 ed as if they had been badly gouged mo than a si ?re of times twice repeated ; their tails, are not very long, but they look as if they bad been stamped about the mid dle until they had become permanently swollen at that point, leaviug each ex tremity comparatively small, their facial developments are so wo-begone, and so despondent, and yet so forbidding and so vicious, that their habit, when first cap tured, of growling perpetually at the sight of a human being, is hardly necessary tb suggest the idea that this ugly creature isl the father of sin ! politics nejcfc, aS.a matter of course, fln chatted a great deal wiih both DetnocjjBI and Republicans here from all scctipjflH the North, and, in every instance,fl expressed an earnest desire,to,s?e thflH efl Bkyided.

E. K. For the Advertiser. Graud Mass Meeting at Mt. Willing. The Saluda Democracy Confident and Determined. MESSRS EDITORS : The graud rally of the Saluda Democracy came oft' to-day, Saturday the 26th, according to previous appointment. The meeting was organized by the unanimous appointment of Isaac Ed wards, Esq., as President; J. M. Forrest, J. O. Donny, J. W. Wise, A. P. West, Julius Banks and A. J. Coleman, as Vice-Pr?sidents ; J. C. Watson and E. J. GogAus, as Secretaries. Tyre was present an immense crowd of die patriotic yeomanry of old Edge fiefipll anxious to hear the distinguish ed gentlemen who were to address them upfl^he all-important questions of the day?; aiftl^by their earnestness and atten tion they evinced a determination to do their whole duty, and in so doing to carry the election in November. The banners borne at the heads of the col umns of mounted men from the various Townships, with their inscriptions, were significant of the spirit that now animates the people generally, and everything pointed to tho complete overthrow of tho miserable thieves who havo lorded it over our lair County so long. Capt. James Calllson, of Shatterfield, was first to address us, and in his forci ble way made a short speech, full of telling facts. Ho challenged Chamber lain or his henchmen to point to one single tangible act of real reform. He gave us a fearful and startling estimate of tho stealings of the throo Radical County Treasurers, including as the last the infamous McDevitt. He hoped he (McDevitt) might be kept as high up as Mackey said be was, until the mosquitoes sucked the last drop of blood from his dishonest veins-expressing a fear how ever that it might kill the mosquitoes. He paid a well deserved compliment to Gen. Gary and to other candidates, in cluding the two M. D's., who, he said, were called in as a matter of sublime charity, to administer soothing syrup to Chamberlain after Gary and Butler had rolled him up in a wet blanket. Capt. Callison is a host within himself, and is very popular with omr people. Capt. Scott Allen, who heads tho ticket among our Legislativo nom?neos, now made a short speech. He said he be longed to the 10th Regiment and would therefore give way to gentlemen from a distance. His remarks were sensible and poiuted. He effectually exposed tho rottenness of the Republican party in S. C, and in the nation, telling of the dis gusting stench now arising from the rapidly decaying body of Radicalism. Capt. Allen is one of us, and will havo our uuanimous support. We havo known him from his birth, and are glad to pay tribute to his father by honoring the son, who, we know, is a noble scion of a no ble family. Mr John R. Abney, our candidato for Solicitor. _nest addressed us. . Ile too belongs to Saluda jaB8 Saiaaa"Tnarms him and is proud of him. He is exceed-^ ingly popular-deservedly so. He spoke of our long suffering-of our unparal leled bravery and constancy to right and truth throughout our adversity. He said a better day was dawning, and assorted our ability to regain all our rights by triumphing over those whose object has been to destroy us. He kuew of no in stall?e in tho history of nations of a brave, intelligent people having so long submitted to such shameful wrongs and indignities, but said he felt that we were at last determined to bo free-free forever, and to transmit our freedom in all its beauty and sacredness to posterity. To the negroes present he gavo good advice referring them to the counsel given them by him two years ago. He told them of their wrong doings; and warned them of the impending dangers to them in case they did not cut loose from the vile wretches who had led, and still desired po lead them. He told them, however, to go and do as they chose, but that he'd have them remember what he said, and note tho fact that they would find it true, as he knew they had found that to be true which ho had told them two years ago. Mr. Abney may rest assured that Saluda will go for him to a man, and that we will feel ourselves honored in hon oring him. Mr. J. C. Sheppard now gave tho ne. groes to understand that he did not ask them to vote for him. They could do as they pleased ; he expected and intended to bc elected any how ; and that in less than twelve month? they would all claim to have voted for bim. He said we ?vere going to bury the whole party, not kill them, but bury them face downward, HO that if they scratched out, they would land on the otherside of Jordan ; he told them that bo kept fully posted as to their doings and sayings ; lhat be had a few trusty negroes who gave him all their names, unveiled all their schemes, Ac, dbe. ; and that there would be revelations made to them one of these days that to them would be moro astonishing than miracles over were. The negroes ware impressed with what Mr. Sheppard said iflrJSbeppagi, though a stranger among Bk carried the populace with him. His W?mly eloquence, backed by a nigh or ir of intelligence, makes him altogether beptable as a candidate for the suffrages the people of EdgelieM. br. T. E Jennings, of Dark Corner, ld he was no speaker, but that he would do his duty-his wholo duty-in every emergency, without regard to costs or consequences to himself. We confident ly expoct all this from the man presented as the exponent of such a constituency as lives in Dark Corner. Mr. P. B. Waters, of Johnston, but a son of Saluda, said he was on his native heath. Ho drew a vivid picture of South Carolina's former grandeur, and old Edge field's glorious past; talked of South Carolina's famous men, statesmen and warriors, claiming for Edgetiold all her own sons given to honor and renown, and asserted that the spirit of our people lies not buried in the tombs of our fore fathers. He said that be bad vouched and would you?b for the Saluda R?gi ment. He knew her sons would be true in this crisis, from which wo would riso Pho-nix-like to former g'ory. He clearr ly proved thoauspiciousnessof the times for our political redemption, pointing to many things significant, as tho Cen tennial year, tho Indian War, the Lower Houne of Congress, deo, ?tc He said theflags seen to.-day were tp be used in the funeral procession of Radicalism I.ber, and told the negroes if B.v'Jtturu before it was everlast B *ate, they would be chief niour? ^ >nt told them also that our plat eas broad enough for all, and that lr would come over, we would do loodv.treat them weft. Wo would ?good goyernment and all be pros porous and happy. 'Tis said by many of Capt. Waters' friends (and there name is legion) that had his name been r,n the ticket, he could have carried a heavy negro vote in this Redmont * And finally came C?en. Gary-the in-., imitable Uary. But wo will '?ot attempt u synopsis of his hue spoech. Suflice it to say it was characteristic of the man. Full of everything wisc and judicious, replete with good advice and stirring appeal to the manhood of Edgefield, while it abounded in scathing rebukes tc Chamberlain and all his ilk. Gen. Gary'sspocch was effective in every way, and will serve to unite with hooks of steel the Democracy in the tight, as they move elbow to elbow in solid phalanx for the redemption of Edgefield and South Carolina. Gen. Gary by his inde pendent, straight out, determined, man ly ac! ion, has made his name the watch word of Democracy. He is emphatical ly the man for the occasion. W. J. Ready now made a good speech, in which he illustrated the effects of the storm that had burst upon Chamberlain at Edgefield, directed by Gary and But ler, and subsequently at Newberry and Abbeville, predicting that Chamberlain would not be tho nominee of his party. After Mr. Ready, J; Y. Culbreath, Esq., of Saluda, who now lives in Newberry, made a few timely remarks on Federal politics, referring to past and. present. He spoke amusingly of Chamberlain's discomfitureat Newberry. Mr. Culbreath illustrates the fact that Edgefield men do not degenerate when transplanted. Mr. Gaston, of Ridge Spring, our Can didate for Sheriff, said but little, aver ring that the day was too far spent. He ia a strong advocate of action, determined action. He followed Gen. Hampton in the .Legion, and knew him to be all and -everjhthSwg thut a great and good people could require their Governor to be. Ho promises to do his whole duty if elected. We believe him, and shall elect him. Capt. L. Charlton, our candidate for Judge of Probate, now came forward to offer the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That we, Democrats of Mt. Willing, heartily endorse the plat form of the St. Louis Convention, accept ed by tho State Convention of the Demo cratic party, and ratify the nomination of Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, for the Presidency, and of Tho?. A. Hen dricks, of Indiana, for the Vicc-Presi doney ol the United States, and will spare no effort to secure the entire vote of the people of this State for their elec tion. 2d, That we accept the action of the late Democratic Conventions at Colum bia and Edgefield C. H., and ratify the nominations for County, State and Pod eral officers mado by those bodies, and pledge the nominees, one and all upon those tickets, our most earnest, zealous and activo support, as representatives of the honesty, the Intelligence and the prop erty of Edgefield county, and the State of youth Carolina. 3d. That we desire to give emphatic expression to our high apprcciatiou of the wise, patriotic and intrepid course of the Edgeheld Advertiser in this political campaign, and of its watchful delence of the rights and liberties of our people through many years past. Capt. Charlton was loudly called upon for a speech. He excused himself, and in so doing made tho most capital sort of speech. He sajd ho was no mass meeting ?peaker, but would speak for us at apy time at our clubs, and elsewheso. Capt. C carries every vote in the 10th, and we hope to see bim elected by a hugo ma jority. 1 And now. Messrs. Editors, with ono or two more remarks, I will close my ac count of tho Mt. Willing mass mooting. We missed Gen. Butler at this meeting very decidedly. We love, honor and trust him ; and his absence was through out the day, a cause of universally ex pressed regret. And scarcely less did we miss the presence of a representative of yourj?ravo and able paper. When thisca^?Bgn shall betrhnqphantly won, .I?U??dSSH-v'mP?l,fl tn? the old ?td vcrtiser with pride and gratitude, and say : " Well done, thou good and faithful servant." # E. J. G. The Straggles of Life. From the cradle to the grave life is full of struggles. Some struggle for riches, some for pleasure, some for honor, and othors sirugirle to regain that greatest of all blessings-health-and in their efforts they often resort to moans which places it farther out of their reach. They take drastic compounds which shock tho system, of violent minerals which poison by degrees, and thus thc vital energies are weakened and tho very fountains of life pollutod. Natara provides remedies for every disease, and it is from tho veg etable kingdom that Du. TUTT'S LIVER PILLS derivo their ingredients, and in their "use there is the happy certainty that If they do no good, they dono harm. But of their efficacy, thousands who have been cured of diseased liver, kid neys, spleen, stomach and bowols, live to-day to testify. 2t 3S Cotton Buyers Prefer the Cotton to any Other.
