Supine. indifference mustbe shaken oH and, a-# active, wholesome, life-like energy take its place inqtead. The dis tri'et 4ections are over, and the results show that all hope is not yet dead, and that wherever the effort was made the democratic and conservative elements have largely increased, and in many dis tricts have swept away like a flood all op opposition. A partial but glorious victory has been achieved. Wherever heart and band were thrown into the work, the re-* sults have been equal to, if not beyond expectation. We must not rest here, however, but once more to the breech, again and again, antil radicalism be root ed from the soil. It may, be sooner or it may be later, but that time imust, will and shall come, if the people are but true to themselves, and appreciate the princi ples involved. The idea, entertained by many, that it is idle and useless to at tempt to stem the radical current, is sin fully absurd, and unworthy a place in the mind. Already has the reverse been proven, and had a greater and more unan imous determination prevailed, very few of the radical tickets but would have died,the Oeath they deserve. Unity in feeling and action, and with shoulders to the wheel, now iolling over the land, north, south, eastand west, and demo cracy will triumph. "The clarion. notes of democracy will wake an enthasiastic response, unmatched for years, and be the signal for victory in the coming time.," The testing struggle is yet to come, in the presidential election', but that Grant, the debauched nominee of the Chicago mongrelite convention, will ride into the despotism cut out for him, is a pill to large and nauseous to swallow. The people are showing too healthy a. tone to endorse the- tool of Spoon.Butler, and the slave of passions and vices, too well known to be repeated. This plank in the platform'is weak, and Grant must fall through. Whoever is set before the people by the New York Convention, be he Mr. Pendleton, or other, we believe will utterly route the man who only once showed a genius, and that was when he became a tanner, and scraped hides in Galena. Let the democracy unite, watch and work. A few facts in regard to the so-called hero, who has been nominated by the Chicago Convention for the Presidency, will pro~ve interesting. -The following is a brief history of his life, and the facts show nothing creditable, and- everything as to his unfitness, except for radical pur poses, for so eminent a pqsition: Hie was born at Point Pleasant, Ohio, ant, and resigned is1853a captain. In 1854 was applicant for a clerkship to the IMthonotary of St. Louis; the applica tion. was cested "for~want of capacity." He then went to. Galena-and became a tanner. In. August, 186-1, he entered the Federal army as a captain, was trans ferred:to-the regulae service, where he sti remiains. .His habits, if Wendell Philieand theiTibune are to be be lieved, are extremely dissolue~. As to his genaeralshtp, a writer in the Hartford Times, contrasting him with General Lee, says-: W1bn .GeneraL-Grant assumed com mand of the army against Richmood, May 4,'1864, be had,an effective force (not counting reservesy of 125,000 men. Gen. Lee at the same date had an ef fective force of 52,000. Grant's reinforcements, op to the bat tie of Cold Harbor, June 8, were 97,000. -Lee?'s reinforcements, up to the same date, were 18,000. Grant's total-force, reinforcements in cluded, was 322,000. Lee's total force, reinforcements inclu ded, was 70,000. By the offieial returns, when both ar mies had reahed-We Jaibes, June 10, the number -of Grant's. army that bad been put hors du combat was 117,000. Up tribe saine date, the number of Lee's men who bad.been put hors du combat wag 19,000. . Then the two armies met in front of Petersburg, and for the long weary months that followed the siege was kept up.' At length Sherman, completed his destructive march from upper Georgia to the Carolina coast, and sweeping through North Carolina upon Lee put Lee under the necessity of surrendering. A t this juncture, the plotting Stanton seeing that Lee's speedy surrender, situated as he was between two armies, was inevitable, left Washington, hastily slipped down to the front, and told Grant that Sherman, who was pushing on, and would in a short time fall upon Lee's flank, would receive his surrender, and with it, all the glory of the campaign ; that the only way to prevent this, and pale the rising and already too threatening glory of the man who made the -"Ma-ch to the Sea," wasfor him (Grant) to slip around Peters burg, go into lhehmiond.without the loss of.anunnecessary houYC(for Lee's line must already be preparing for retreat,) and 'receive the surrender himself, before Sherman egold reac.h the ground. Grant acted on'Stanton's -avice-received the smueerandeeeived it after Sherman, not Grant; had "defeated Lee. It was done, too, after Grant, without accom plishing Lee's defeat, had lost 117,000 men, against a Confederate loss of 19,000 ! And it was done by 220,000 against 70, 000 ; the latter being compelled at last to surrender by the flank movement of Sher man. There is Grant's generalship.

An thony, (to whom we are indebted for several acts of kindness and attention,) where we witnessed, to us, a new process of boring common wells. It was brought from Mississippi, where it has been in use for some time, and is now most successfully operated, by Messrs. Williford & Penny. It is an ar tesian auger, cutting a hole about nine inches in diameter, can easily be worked by four or five men, completes the well in about three quarters of a day, and cost& only one dollar per foot, cirbing and all. The auger is suspended by means of a derrick, and is drawn up by a windlass. Not more than a wheel bar ro* load of dirt is raised in sinking a well of ordinary depth, and as it only oc cupies a foot square can be conveniently du- in the kitchen or back porch. The bucket is about two feet long and six inches in. diameter-has a bottom fixed upon binges, which is raised when it strikes the water, by means of wbich it is filled, and as soon as it emerges out of the water it closes and becomes water tight. A boy six years of age can draw the water. By this invention a well ca pabie of affording an unfailing supply of water can be had for from 25 to 80 dol lars-all ready for use. There is one on Mr. Rich's lot, we were informed which Pr:)rds about 1,000 gallons per day. . All housekeepers will find it to their interest as a matter of convenience and economy, to have one. Mr. Williford is a responsible gentle man, and will guarantee satisfaction for wrork or no pay. Ho is now at work in Concord. The above notice is taken from the Charlotte, N. C., Times, ogr attention be ing called to it by a friend, who is anx ious to ascertain if there be persons in this section desirous of the services of Messrs. Williford & Penny. It is a.sim gie llaencewse cuep wy o- pro caring water, and we have no doubt that there are many who would like to avail themselves of the chance. if any of our citizens the. lore, in town or coun try, need wells of this character, they will please give us their names, when we will write to the gentlemen above named. The Electina Eturns. So far as heard from we give the re turns of ElJection. The Yorkville Enquirer, says that the vote will probably be a small one. but that a conservative m'ijority is certain. Gr-eenville gives a Democratic majority of about 300.. Law-ens has good cause to rejoice over a Democratic majority of 554. The Herald says the Deinocratic cmn didates elected are W. H.

The following atrocious double murder, which occurred on a steamer, we find in a New york paper, given by a heartless correspondent as a good joke. The first victim was one of the ship's company, who unfortunately attempted a conun drum on a Mr.' Cohen. and hia. trunk. Tbe.humnane reader will judge whether the conundrum maker merited such summary punishment. Here it is: "Why is one of the passengers, or his trunk, like a certain geographical, alge braical, geometrical, technical term ? Answer-Because he is a truncated cone (trunk-hated Cohen.)" We hung him. At dinner, one day, in the steamz-ship, on this side, I said something to my roomn-mate whjle he was carving a piece of veal. One of the company said : -"Beware - remember the sign in the pilot house :-'No conver sg.ian with the' man at the wheel' (weal -veal)."- We hung him, also. Toanmnt ami Costume Rail at Laurens.

A VWt to the Cemetery. Ah! to weep for you is supreme. happi nos, dear blanes, to whomsoever hs tears. To forget you is to forget oneself. Are you not a portion oiour.hearts? God.of great mercy-their God-the God of their fatherd-pardon the tears shed for them by their friecds. Oh, allow us to mourn for theb who loved us so much. Doubtless, if they could . speak to their weeping friends, they would tell of their great happiness; Pardon me if I would go before the hour of Thy will, and if before Thine appointed time, I desire to -fly to them. .X ele*ial glory did take away from thiem all remembrance of humanity, thou would'st liave removed their memory from our hear ' and our tears would rot drop upon thei graves. These thoughts are of great cotfort to those who mourn for beloved d4>arted ones. How much of happiness do those, who live in a state of grief and con*(dence in a better life, feel when they meet in some Christian soul that comforting symathy which the world can. not and does ni appreciate. Directed by spme unaccountable instinct, Friday evening last, I turned my steps to ward the cem ry. There I met two Christian ladie: angels of goodness and generosity-moir6fully happy, no doubt, in paying a tribute(of respect to the remains of beloved frien, deposited in that solitary and most neglecied place. Death is uncer tain, and we are rash in not thinking of. it often. Death 's also certain, and it is mad. ness to dismiss from our minds that of which we shouki never lose sight. If we thought more frequently that death makes an end to the glory of thenan, who all his life forgot the true God, that it takes all from him, destjoying all of him which looks great in the eyes of mankind, and leaves him powerless atd forsaken in the hands of a terrible though merciful God, we might be induced to realize that this world, which te sometimes seem to re gard as eternal,,is no more. than a vapor, to be scattered by the slightest breeze. And then with souls, free from all the vani ties of this life, and ripe for heaven, we could close our eyes, without regret, to all the frivolous objects that surround us, and be ready to go in peace and confidence to a blessed eternity4, Then, too, the remem brance of the dear departed, far from being painful to us, w6dld be a part of our happi neis. And, indneing us, if possible, to love them more; we would, more ..greatly desire to be with those to whom we were so affec tionately attached in this life. The undying remembrance ot friends whose souls have gone to their Heavenly Father, is necessary to the true appreciation of the affection we feel for a sinceire friend or a beloved family. May these thoughts strike the hearts of those who have been bereaved of some dear friend or relative, and induce them to visit often, the place which will soon be for them a refuge of peace and rest, which the world daily denies to them, And encour age them to take care of the graves of those, ehildren to re.pect the souvenir of their parents; and when it pleases Ood to call them to Himself, they will have in dying the satisfaction of knowing that their chil firen will often, think of th.em, and will come to.their graves: and drop a tear to their meiory, all of which the indifference of the present day exposes them to losp for ever. To see as I did these two bright be ings-angels of mercy, at the grave of a much wept mother and friend, and to see them mourning for her whose soul is cer ainly always about them, one can appreci ate the hagpiness only to be found in those deserted places-and be enabled to- say at the- close of the weary day, when sorrow earries. him to the grave-of his loved one, "My. tears. are less bitter, and death tells cue of ho,pe." - 3. 1. T. Kr. Davis' Trial Postponed. The U. S. Court met at Richmond, June 3rd, Chief Justice Chase and Judge Underwood presiding. The Cheif Jus ice called the case of Mr. Davis, when Pr. Anderson, of Mississippi, one of the counsel for the defence, read an agreement for the postponement of the .trial till ctober, signed by Estarts and O'Conner. r'he Chief Justice then asked if counsel were ready for trial, independent of this stipulation. Governor Welles, for pros cution, replied, that, in view of the ab sence of the District Attorney, whose wife is in a dying condition, the absence of the prisoner was caused. By this stipu lation, and absence of Mr. Evarts, who stood in the position of more directly re presenting the Attorney-General, the case could not well be gone on with. He suggest'ed some day of the term in October, when the Cheif Justice could attend. Counsel for the defence moved for a postponement till the next term, which the Chief Justice.granted, saying, at the same time, that, bad the trial taken place last May, a year ago, or last fall, or now, it would have been more, convenient for him, as he was ready to try the case. He would, however, at tend at the next term, if poossible, in view. of btis other duties. The witnesses, including General R. E. Lee, were recog nized to appear on the fourth Monday in November, and the prisoner's bail was renewed. Wegre gratified to loarn, roni'~the Mobile lRegister, that Col. St. Leger Grenfel, who escaped from the Dry T'ortugas some months ago and was believed to have been drowned, is now in safety. The Register says that a letter had been received at Bavana from Col. Grenfel, in which . he tent his thanks, and acknowledgements ror kind treatment to some of the army afficers at Tortagas, and said that he was just about to sail for England. This will be good news to the many friends who served with, or knew, Col. Grenfel i the Confederate armies of Tennessee mud Virginia. Kr.r.ED. -g.

DICTIONARY WANTED.-The returr from one of the polls it will be noticed'i very small.

It was there. fore out of .the question to gain his ear. Mackey and other nigs had got in be. fore, and it was necessary to decide whether ten gallons of kerosine would be sufficient to light the party through or not. Mackey and others wanted ker. osene, which could be paid for out of the Bureau funds, while the great chief was of the opinion that pine splints would answer as well, and be cheaper. Oil was decided on, and the procession came off; and as the Mercury's local whc seems to know, said, "the scene called up visions of Pandemonium," for "here were the sounds, the lights and the smells." That local has travelled, not only east, west and Southward, but we take it he's "beenr.down dIr.! - Well J. has returned, and has turned his back in sorrow upon his old city h-:me, the atmosphere having a sickly scent, and will not r-eturn again till, the General's nostrils 'assume a healthier tone.
