NEWBERRY, S. C. Wednesday Morning, October 3d, 1866. The weather is remarkably fine for the growing of turnips, potatoes and small grain. We hear from some that the potato crop will be fine, good news truly; while turnips are growing luxuriantly. We publish to,day for the benefit of our readers and the many friends of Gen. A, C. Garlington, the corrected speech of this distinguished gentleman on the Stay Law, together with his resolutions. The haste with which it was at first printed caused many errors to be overlooked, which are now remedied, and this able speech will therefore be re-read with much y+ieasure. NEW DYE.-A dye of incomparable beauty has by the merest accident been discovered, and most fortunately in this town. Yankee mixtures will hereafter be ut a discount. This remarkable dye has been used with success as can be proved by examining the Brigadier's hirsute appendage. -The color is almost indescribable, approaching very nearly however a light crimson. For further particulars apply to Peter or Son. SALES-DAT-Like its predecsssors came on Monday, and notwithstanding the threats ening appearance of the weather a very large number of people were cn hand, drawn to.. gether by the usual attractions of land sales, furniture and other sales, the hope of heari ing or seeing something . good, bad or in different, and a few for the purpose of spiritual refreshment. From limited observa tion we believe that all parties were gratified, but as our attention was almost wholly en" grossed in keeping up with a few erratic in, dividuals, who ought to have called on us, and not with the general crowd, perhaps we are in error. . Sales were- very spirited, bids active, and judging from the signs, money must be abundant; about 3000 acres, in p.rcels, were sold at from $3 to $14 per acre. Other sales were equally as good, and there being no lack of buyers, all species of pro perty offered were disposed of. About 1 o'clock, after business, the increase of human sound gave token that the old vets -and young recruits were charging,and loaded to the muzzle, but other than making an -undue noise, no harm was done to any but themselves. Batteries Bourbon and Rye, both strong fortifications were assaulted fiercely from 10 a. m. to 5 p. in., but the invincibility of the spirits which mnet these .attacks were in every instance victorious. A feb' weak shots were fired about sundo wn, 'when night put an end to the scene. THE GOLD PREMIt.-rThe gold premium has fallen to forty-three or four. When it was at fif'ty,six and a half, a few weeks ago. importers and brokers of New York urged u pon the Treasury the policy of seiling the surpIus, over $50.000,000, for the purpose of fivoring importation. But gold has fallen and imports increased by the demand abroad for our Government securities, and the ims portation of gold from Europe and large supplies also from California. At the present rate of importations, the Treasury will, by the 1st of January next, possess, $80,000,000 in gold, after deducting all the sum required, in the meantime, for the payment of interest on gold-bearing bond3. $10,000,000 of the 25,000.000 to be paid for interest will go to foreign bonda -holders. The question is asked, whether the ~Secretary of the Treasury will suffer the amount of gold to be augmented in the Gover-nment vaults, in view of some plan for a return by degrees to specie payments or sell it at market rates ? His course, in this respect, will undoubtedly be dictated by Congress, and that body will tolerate no measures looking towards a specie standard. [National Intelligencer. The Columbus (Ga.) Sun protests vigo,% rously against being compelled to pay for telegraph despatches from New%York City, stating that the Herald had pronounced President Johnson's plan a failure, and gone over to the Torch,and-Turpenltino party. It says: "We do not care what the NewsYork Her, -ald thinks, or what it may please to publish, nor do we regard it as a matter of the slight 'est interest or importance to our readers. Because the Herald may be paid to change its political opinions, and prophecy good or evil to the side which has the heaviest purse and makes the most liberal use of it, is not reason sufficient that the press of the country should have to pay contribution in -order to receive the information." There are foolish men enough at the South who buy the Herald-which hounded the South into war, deserted them when they ]had got in, and, now the war is over, labors daily to keep the Southern States out of the Union -to justify the sending of the item as -a matter of news. The Associated Press -agent cannot be blamed. When no Heralds are taken at the Soath, the Associated Press agent will never dream of sending such an item. MURDER ON THE RACE TRACK -CHICA, GO, September 24.-A trot between the hbrses Genera! Butler and Cooley came off on saturday, the race being the three best heats in five, for $3,000. The first and -second heats were won by Cooley, the third and fourth by Batler, all after close strug gles. Owing to delays caused by quarrel ing between the jockeys, it became dark before the fifth heat-was run, and the judges could not see the horse. Bultler came in without a driver, and on search he was found on the track with his head split open. The driver of Cooley was arrested on suspicion of mnurdering him. The race was undecided. The driver of Butler was also his owner. SACRIFICE OF PRoPERTY--The following facts are "straws," and we cannot assign to them too much significance: A gentleman who has just returned from Carroll county, in Georgia, stated in the pres ence of the editor of the LaGrange Reporter. the other day, that a good lot of land exposed to sale was sold for eighteen doIiars.. On sale day last, two hundred and eights' acres of land lying in Goshen Distr'ict, El beit county, were sold at public outcry for twentystive dollars. A horse was also put tup anid brought nothing.

How TRUE .-The Louisville Courier says "There is not a civilized nation on the fac of the earth that would not joyfully accep1 the Southern States as a part of its domin' ions, and grant them equal rights with then own people, nor one that would not feel it~ strength and power doubled by the acquisi tion. Their im]mense and fertile territory the grand and wonderful heroism of theil people, their astonishing capabilities foi proding wealth, the fidelity of the p)eopl( to their pledges, make not ooly the territory but the people who inhabit it, valuable be yond all calculationl Yet the blid arnd fu natical Jacob)ins who rule this nation pro, pose to erect the vast and valuale domair into a negro co!cniy, and expel from it it he-oic, cultivared, hospitable and mnagnano mous inhabitanIts. Was there ever suct reckless infatuation since the confusion o: tongues at the tower of Babel ?" RELIEF-The Rome Courier recommendt that the law be enacted similar to one it Kentucky, whereby all real estate levied 01 under execntion shall, previous to sale, b< appraised-perhaps the price at which it wa given in on the tax books of 1860 wouk answer-and unless two-thirds of' this price or more, shall be bid for the property at th4 sale-the creditors having the privlege 0: taking it at that price, if he chooses-th< sale shall be barred, and the property b< freed from that execution and all others, it favor of the same credit or, for the space of say, three years. In Alabama, they have law allowing a debtor the right of redemp tion to two years on all real estate sold undei execuion. IMMIGRATION TO THE SouTH.-The Bal timore Transcript says: "We are pleased t( learn that preliminary steps are being takel towards an initiation of an enterprise, unde' the title of ''The American !rmmigratior Homestead Company," for the purpose of in iting emigration directly from Europe t< the Southern States. A line of steamship! will be established in connection with thi enterprise, and agencies are to be establishec at each of the principal points from whici European emigrants depart from America where will be found the maps, plans and al prticulars necessary to enable the emigran to decide intelligently as to the vamne anc other inducements attached to each parcel o: land offered for sale.

LAURENS DISTRICT, 29th Sept. 1866. Messrs. Editors: Perhaps no subject would in terest a majority of your readers more, at the present time, than that of a revival of religion. I serd you a hastily-written sketch of the min isters and meeting which closed yesterday, at Fair View Church, Newlerry District. This church has been supplied, since its organization, about seven years, by the young and gifted W. D. Mayfield, whose labors have been abundantly blessed. He was assisted by the venerable Toli ver Robertson, well known throughout the Reedy River Association, and by a well'spent life of over40 years in the ministry. His labora have been abundantly blessed. We could not listen to the preaching of this good man un moved. His is the simple, earnest eloquence of a mind and heart'filled with divine influences. He displays no acquaintaZice with the subtleties of philosophy, the polish of rhetoric and the gifts of erudition ,but like the apostles Peter andJohn, has an heroic faith and a love that constraineth~ to laborious duties in the Master's vineyard. Elder J. K. Mendenhall, of your district, was also present, during the meeting, and we hope that he will pardon us for alluding to his sermot on Trhursday evening, from the text found in Hebrews, 2d chap., part of 3d v: "How shall we escape if we neglect so grcat salvation." It has been our good fortune to listen to some 01 the ablest divines in America, Thornwell,Bishol Andrews and Wightmnan, Fuller, the Furmanm and others, but we are not aware of ever hearing a more powerful and masterly effort. Its publi cation through your columns could not fail o; effecting good. The meeting closed Friday evening. A deep solemnity pervaded the congregation. Eleven were baptized, and others awaiting baptism. WC were truly glad to hear that this church was ten dered by its,pastor and members to the Luthe ran brethren who contemplate commencing a 1nion meeting, on Saturday before the second Sabbath in November next, and we understand it is the intention of the Lutheran minister tc cordially invite . all orthodox denominations tc join in this meeting, and may God bless theli labors. W. 0. Q. A MOTTO FOR THE DOUGLAS MONUMENT. -The corner,stone of the Douglas mon ment having now been laid, the New York Day Book suggests the following as a mos1 appropriate motto to be placed upon it: "I hold that this Government was made on the white basis by white men, for the benefit of white men and their posterity forever; and should be administered by white men and none others. I do not believe thal the Almigh ty made the negro.- capsble o1 Iselfgovernment," These are the most immortal words thai Stephon A. Douglas ever uttered, and they ought, by all means, to be engraved in im perisable letters upon the marble that shall perpetuate his memory. A MAN STRUCK DEAD FOR BLASPHEMY. -CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-A Prussian named accosed Quist, a tailor, of this city. being acsdof stealing some money from a fellow boarder, denied the charge, and called upon God to strike him dead if he was guity. No sooner were these words uttered than be fell to the floor dead. The stolen money was found in his pocket this morning. ICE GRATIS-A cargo of ice was put up at aucion in Savannah on Wednesday, but not a bid could be obtained. The auctioneet offered to cry $100'-for 349 tons, but nobody would give it. The owners of the cargc then annonneed that they would distribute ii gratuitously to all who would call at the vessel, Girls in Egypt are often mothers at thir, teen, and grand-mothers at twenty-six; and in Persia they are said to be mothers a1 eleven, and . grandsmothers at twenty-two.
