The board of directors, after thorough investigation of the subject, adopted a resolution declining to en ter into the consolidation at this time. The company feels its ability to build the road to the North Carolina line and retain its management until that is accomplished, then they will he ready to consolidate, but they do not propose to give up their franchise at this time without any giuirauteeaH to its completion. ^ Daring the session of the Conven f&ige was served upon the 3 byKChild & Oliver that ti e ;re ready to begin work upen and so soot as certain ?liminarie3 are complied willi Directors-printing bonds, |es, &.C.-the great undertak be inaugurated by opera the Aiken end.

THE GENERAL PLAN FOR THE CANVASS. Campaign Meeting in Edgefield OD the Twenty-Third of October. The State Democratic Executive Coramittee met ia Columbia on Tues day, the 15th instant, and arrauged the general pian tor the canvass of the State, and appointed committees to arrauge and carry out the details. The first c impaign meeting is to be held in Anderson on Thursday, Au gust'31st, followed by a meeting at every Court House in the State, clos ing with Charleston on the 2Sth of October. The campaign meeting for Edgefield County is to be held in this town on Monday, October the 23rd. Special mars meetings were also appointed in ? lie several Congression al Districts, that for the Second Dis trict being at Blackville on Thurs day, the i2uc? of November. The entire canvass will be vigor ously prosecuted; and when it is over with, the Ureenbackers, who ara now raising their heads with ccn-iderable assurance, will conclude that it was the biggest and vainest job of their lives when they undertook to over throw the Democratic party in South Carolina. An Urgent Word to Our County Executive Committee. On Friday, the 1st S'-ptember, the day after the Priunify Election, let our County Executive Committee get to work at, least by IO o'clock A. M. Iudeed we should very strongly ad vice that the Committee begin the work ot summing np at this hour, even though but one third ol if1? members be present. We consider this matter extremely important, for we well remember the tedious and trying scsnes of the summing np in ?880. A vast crowd was present from all parts of the county, await ing the public announcement of the result. But still, notwithstanding their natural and laudable anxiety, their intense exciteinen!., their tedi ous vigil, and their long fast, they were forced to depart homewards without hearing said announcement -unsatisfied and cheerless. The Committee did not begin their work until 12 o'clock M.: and, if we re member aright, the announcement was not made until niue o'clock at night. And then the eri-ir's voice fell upon the silent air. The Congressional Convention of thc Secoutf District* The Nominating Convention o? the Second Congressional District will p. Sebly take place in Aiken on Tues day or Wednesday of next week. Edge field's delegates are H. H. Townes, C. Ai. Burckhalter, James T. Bacon, W. E. ;PJ escott, B. W. Eettis, W. P Addisoif, D. M.

The Greenbackers proceed fro: the vicious principle, "all things I all men in all places." For Mair they are prohibitionists, in Nort Carolina anti-prohibitionists, in Sont Carolina they are opposed to high( education, in New York they are i favor of both common and higher et ucatton, in Massachusetts they ai in favor of qualified suffrage, inSout Carolina they are in favor of au ni licensed, unbridled and unqualvfie suffrage. Their leaders have coloi equal to the celebrated coat of J< seph of the Holy Writ, and like Je sephs brethren they are willing to sue ceed even if they, have to dip the brother's coat in the hlood of th goat to deceive their countrymen.

Ben Hill a Methodist, Senator Hill had never been an in religious man. He had long been a member ol thc Methodist Church, and his bob! masterful nJnd had nev er tried to soar above the simple ten ets of the Christian faith. Ma*iy persons will remember Mr. Hill's gathering about, him the visitors in the juniors of one ol'our North Geor gia resorts, one Slimmers Sabbath Day, and delivering an impromptu lecture on "Faith" which moved half the assemblage to tears. His great intellect, and biselo.juence here went hand in hand. He bad always been the gentlest, and fondei-t of husbands, and it was Gen. Evana' lemark upon the close of a long acquaintance with him, that he had never seen a more devoted domestic character or a firm er holder of the faith.
