THE PRESIDENT'S CONDITION
NOT SO HOPEFUL.
-
On Saturday last, quite unexpect
. edly it would seem,'Presiden Garfield
had two chilla, or "rigors," as they
aie called in tha dispatches, since
which time his condition has not been
so hopeful as for two weeks before.
In fact many eminent physicians are
now uttering very gloomy prognosti
cations as to the result of . his case
The cause of these rigors is said to
have been the formati ? of a. pus cav
ity at the turn in thg.tjraglittMQh wa?
" performed, whereby th s drawback
waa in agr?ai degree removed. From
the present prospects, it seems to br
e direly uncertain whether the Pre*i
<knt will recover or not
COXKLING'S SUCCESSOR.
We made a mistake last week ir
saying that the New .York Leg
islature had adjourned, after electing
Miller to succeed Platt- On the con. ;
trary they remained in session and J
on Friday last succeeded in electing
a successor to the great and nasty
Conkling. His name is Lapham, and
he is said to be a thoroughly commot
place man. The present Senators
from New York are Miller and Lap
ham, both Republicans; and the groat
and nasty Conkling retires tb ignoble
obscurity.
DEATH OF ?EN. PEMBERTON,
A Sketch of the Lile of the Distingult-b
ed Confederate Soldier.
[Special to ?he American.]
.PENLYS?T, PA., July 13.^-Gen. John
C. Pemberton, who cam??anded the
Confederate forces at Vicksburg when
8urrendered to Gen. Grant, died here
- thia afternoon atabout 5 o'clock. The
deceased was born in Philadelphia,
in 1817, and, entering West Point,
graduate 1 in 1837. He was promo
ted to a First Lieutency of Artillery
in 1842, and acted aa aidfie-camp
to Gen. Worth during the Mexican
war. For gallantry at Monterey, in
1846, he waa bievetted- aa Captain,
and aB Major for gallantry at Molino
del Rey in 1847. He also distin
guished himself at Contreas and
Cherubusco, and at the capture ol the
city of Mexico, in which he was
wounded, fie became Captain Sep
tember 16, 1850, and resigned in
18^1, to enter the Confederate ser
vice aa a Colonel of Cavulry. Ht
waa appointed Assistant Adjutant?
General to General Joseph iE. John
ston, and in 1862 he became a Briga
dier-General and soon afterwards
Lieutenant General. He was assign
ed to the commaud of the army in
Northern Missiesipt i, but, being de
feated at Champion Hills, May 16,
1863, and at Big Biack river, the
next day, he retreated to Vicksburg,
where he was shut up by General
Grant The latter made an experi
mental assault upon Pemberton'*
lines, May 19, but, being repul?edj
settled down to a regular siege. Gen
eral Grant's torces were increased to
70000, while Pemberton had but
25,000 effective men, waa deficient in
ammunition and had rations for only
sixty day8.. The investment contin
ued with an almost .constant bom
bardment until July 3rd, when, hav'
ing no hope of relief, Pemberton in
vited an interview with General
Grant, and the next day, July 4,1863!
Vicksburg was surrendered on Hon
orable terms. .The same day wit
nessed the first struggle at Uettys
burg, so that this period waa justly
considered the decisive* crisis of the
war. The prisoners surrendered at
Vicksburg numbered 27,000, the to
tal previous loss of the Co -federates
being reckoned at 10,000, and the to
tal Union at S.575. At the close of ?
the war he was inspector of artillery,
commanding at Charleston, South
Carolina. When peace was restored
he br?ame a farmer near Warrenton,
Fauquier county, Virginia. He sub
sequently engaged in business in
Philadelphia.

Tho friends of Msj. Redmond will
be pleased to learn that not withstand

captured he ia getting well. His
8-fven wounds-first in the back, sec
ond and third in right shoulden
foarth through right ?rm, fifth and
sixth in left hip, seventh in left thigh
-are, hs writes, nearly, all healed
His wounds are by large balls, two
8;xteen -hooters and one Mipsissippi
rifle being brought to bear upon him?
with some muskets and double barrel
gune. He writes me that 25 or 30
ahot9 were fired at him. His trial
will be had at Asheville, N. C, at the
November term of Court. Col. C. M.
McLoud, who is said to be an able

has the chance of giving bond in the
sum of .$2,500. His friends in thia

BAUSKETT'S POND, July 21, 'SI.
MESSRS. EDITORS-At a barbecne
given at this place, the main purpose
of which was to get together the peo
ple of Edgefield, Trenton an Aiken,
in the' interest of the Edgefield, Tren
ton and Aiken Railroad, on motion
of Mr. A. J. Norris, < aptain Le?is
Jones, the president of the Road, was
called to tho chair. He stated the
object of the meeting in a very inter
eating speech, giving an account ol
his stewardship as President of said
Road.
President Jones said he had com
uleted the ^radios oi ,tk<? u-J
j!?iz? VXX-?^J?ing a tew small grips
which were of very little consequence,
-md that the unds of the Road were
now about exhau3ted. He made an
earnest appeal to the people to make
arrangements to raise the necessary
tunda to complete the grading to
Aiken, a distance cf about six miles
and said that if the work was allowed
to stop, it would be much more diffi
cult to Lret it started again and fin
tshed than if it was keptmoving now;
that about three hundred and fifty
dollars per month ia all he needs to
keep the . wenty-seven convicts at
work; that Edgefield had already ie
sued twelve, thousand dollars worth
of bonds, which have been sold; that
' T enton subscribed two thousand five
hundred dollars worth of bonds, one
thousand, five hundred of which have
been issued and sold; that Aiken vo
ted against issuing bonds, but some
of her enterprising citizens had raised
about one thousand dollars by private
subscription; that Charleston had
also subscribed two thousand dollars
by private subscription; and that all
this is about exhausted; and he beg
ged the citizens not to let the r .;k
stop when there waa only six miles
more to be graded. .
The Chairman then called for
speakers. Mr. A. J. Norris, Dr. W.
H. Timmerraan, Capt. T. H. Clark,
Dr. Croft, Dr. B. H. Teague, Mr. Jas
Aldrich, Mr. 0. C. Jordan, and oth
ers, made interesting speeches in fa
vor of the Road, and of Railroad*
generally. All present were very
enthusiastic on the, subject. Mr
Norris moved that two committees
be appointed by the Chairman, one
'or Shaw's Creek, and one lor Aiken,
to solicit subscriptions to continue the
grading of the Road. The following
are the committees:
Shaw's Creek-Dr. W. H Timmer
man, Aquilla S. Seigier, B. F. Lan.
drum, Jr.
Aiken-0. C. Jordan, P. J. Rock
well, A. D. Beckman.
Capt. Jones, the kind host, then
announced dinner, and it proved to
be "Suparb, Magnifique by Gar.'
The barbecue, "mg-un-sass, taters
?md hash.'" in fact, everything was
' bully." Mabin did it. After din
ner, Capt. Jones sent for the convicts.
They soon came and surrounded the
same table, filled with the same gooH
"truck." While they were at the
table, in full view of the crowd, Capt
Jones asked that they be inspected,
as to their condition. The universal
opinion of the crowd was that the
convicts were in fine condition and
well cared for. In the meantime the
two committees were not idle, for in
a very short time, they announced
one thousand, five hundred and fifty
(?1,550) dollars, subscribed to the
Railroad fund.
The crowd then gradually dispers
ed, well .filled and well pleased.
Nothing whatever occurred to mar
the pleasure of the day.

Crops in the Ninth Regiment*
Editors of Advertiser: Your cor
respondent having recently traveled
over a portion of the ninth Regiment,
had an oppor; unity of seeing the con
dition of the yrops of corn
and cotton ; and as most ol
the Bmall grain had been recently
threshed, no guess work was necessa
ry aa to that crop. Wheat, as a gen
eral thing, does not prove a remuner
ative crop in this section, and most
of the farmers have abandoned sowing
it. The oats proved about a hall
crop. These lands are well adapted
for oats, and the reasons given for the
shortness of this crop, were that the
oats were not sown at the usual time,
that'the seed was badly ploughed in,
that very little manure was used, that
the unusual cold winter cau?ed an
imperfect stand, and that the dry
ppring had capped the climax ol
drawbacks. AU readily admitted
that the fault was primarily in not
planting earlier in the fail. No crop
that can be raised upon there lands,
with the same expense, pays as well
as the oat crop; and under no crop
does manure pay better than an oat
crop. I speak fi om experience.
The treatment of our ?soil has im
poverished our farms, and the effects
of the Lien Law have made our far
mers poorer every year. Instead ol
using improved agricultural imple
ments, whe: eby we could cultivate
the same area of land with a third
less labor and cultivate it better, most
of us are disposed co follow in the
old rut. And the result of the mat
ter ts empty smoke housep, empty
barns, lean atook, horees and mules
that upon an average would not briug
in the market $50,00 per head-about
what they are assessed at. ,
The upland corn seemed to be a i
failure on account of the poverty of I
soil, and of very little manure being '
wed. And of comae the dry weath ,
jr has also had a great deal to do {
pvitb the failure. Ik would eee?,|<
rom the experience these planters
lave had for the past three years,
hat a change is absolutely necessary
br them. Corn on branches and
:reek bottoms looks well, and these
ire the only spots of land upon which
corn will be raised to any extent thia
year.
Cotton h as size enough, and has
been doing well until within a few
days past, but the dry weather has at
ast been too severe for this plf nt
The forrard cotton h ns stopped
growing; and from the present tut
look, not more than two thirds of an
averase crop ean be raised this year
I may, however, be mistaken. I am
aware that persons who have given
liens upon their crops report that
they never bad better crops; and you
never heard one of these persons who
j upually buy every thing on a credit,
, have a BOrxyxroD. Th.1 nmr.
the cotton; but Irom some unioreheen
eau ie their cotton never opens. Un
less lam in error, my observations
convince me that our planters, will
realize but little clear money by this
' crop, even by using the utmost econ
nmy from now until auother ernp ip
made. SOLON.

Aiktii Items.
The hot .veather continues and the
President still lives.
Old friend Stafford, the contractor
and builder, moved to Aiken about
four weeks ago, and he now bas three
Urge buildings in cour-e of ereciou- j
two dwelling houses and one store
house.
Mr. F. B. Henderson lately bought
a lot of Mr. Schmidt, for which he
gave .$1.350, and the building is to
cost about SI,000 It is to be a two
story brick more. Property here is
at gilt edge prices.
The Court House is goiDg up rap
idly. Mr. Woodward the contractor,
had a slight sunstroke some two
weeks back.
Aiken has become quite a summer
resort for the people of Charleston
and Augusta. There are many of
them here.
The oat crop was a failure. Corn
a? d cotton would be tolerably good
if we could get rain.
We have three Trial Justices here
and every day the mill grinds. Some
cases are very attuning. One, last
week, was a colored boy for vagrancy.
He employed Mr. D. to defend him
Mr, D. asked permission of the Court
to be allowed to see the defendant
privately. He took the prisoner into
the back ysrd and found that some
thing had to be done. The attorney
took from his own pocket, and gave
he buy a handful of silver, r-o fha?
he might be able to show to the Court
s?-me visible means of support. He
was taken back into Court, and was
soon asked if he had any money. He
said he had, and was then told to
show it, which be triumphantly did
and an order for his discharge ?ss j
granted. But while Mr. D. was draw
ing the order, the prisoner, learning
the way out at the back door, steppen
forth into light . nd liberty, and has
not beeu seen by either the Court or
attorney since. So you see the attor
ney beat the Court, and the prisoner
beat the attorney. Such is life ! I
W?D, you lose !
Drummers are is thick here as sand
fiddlers.
I agree with yon exactly about the
Graded School in Edgefield. Senator
Callison Beems to think wo are doing
about as well as could be, and that
our people are too poor to send their
chiidreu to school more than S or 4
months in tho year. I must beg leave
io differ with the Senator. If we bad
?chools to last six months he would
3> o them largely attended. At d un
leefe our schoolfl do last longer, there
cannot be much benefit derived from
them. The subject of education isa
pery important one, and the canse
should he pleased to a triumphant
rttccees. Q.

edly vouensafed unto us, and which wo
all cherished as the voice ofa spiritual
father, we de-iro to bow in humble sno
mission to the will of our Heavenly Ka

eternal irain.
