The New York Herald's Predictions.
Nothing stronger or ire" hopeful to
the democratio cause and the country
has yet appeared than the five unpro
phetic utterances of the great Oracle, the
Herald, which all failed in their time,
and which some pains-taking ard indus
trious editor has dished up for-the people.
We allude to the prophecies made as to
the defeat of Polk, in 1844; Taylor in
in 1818, Pierce in 1852, Buchanan in
1856, and -Lincoln in 1860. In spite of
the Herald's. prophetic vision and its an
athemas, aH of these were elected: And
now following out the same dream as it
were, the.oracle says of the nomination
of Seymour and Blair, "the die is cast,
and the democratic-convention has deci
ded that our next PrPsident shall be
Grant." God grant that the sixth proph
ecy be like unto the five preceding. We
are more sanguine than ever, for- the
Herald has proclaimed the death -of the
Radicals.
A Relief.
The recess of Congress is a relief to the
3outh, in the failure to perfect and carry
)ut- 'tany of the iniquitous schemes pro
posed. The villainous bill of Payne for the
arming of the loyal; if passed, and the arms
listributed, would most certainly have led
p a war of races, but it'has failed, and for
a time at least we are spared the calamity,
and we~have reasore to be gtatefuL Like.
wise the bill for the re-organization of Vir
ginia, Mississippi and rexas, died out in
the Sena,te, after passing the Hoose.. This
atrocious scheme gave the State Conatitu
tions power to remove all officers, from
Governor down, and to appoint others'; to
appoint-registers and judges of election, to
revise the registration lists, that military
communders shall aid in enforcing laws,and
that no persons -shall vote in those States
for electors, and if so, upon conviction,
bcnud be subject to a. fe of $1000, and
nie year's imprisonment.

Mr. Doolittle, in a wisely conservative
spirit, replies to C. H. Ostrander, of Dan
ville, Penn., who, in behalf of a number
of conservative Republicans, regrets that
no better names bad been offered by the
Democratic party to lead the conserva
tive and patriotic masses of the people
to victory, and the radical republicans
to deserving' and merited defeat ; and
that if Mr. Doolittle's name among oth
era, bad been placed at the head of the
ticket, all would have gone well. Mr
Doolittle takes this as a feeler for an ex
presslon of opinion as to a third party,
and expresses him{sef frankly-and plainly
that such a course would be una ise, and
injurious to the cause in which he is
engaged. There can be, he says, but two
effective political parties. After enumer
ating the host of wrongs inflicted by the
Radical party since the affair of Bull
Run to the present, be says. these are
the great wrongs for which that party
is arraigned, and for which it should be
overthrown.
We-give the concluding paragraphs of
the letter which are particularly iateres
ting. He goes on :
The Convention in New York met. for
the purpose of organizing to overthrow
the party in power for this great wrong,
and to restore the Union and -the Con
stitution, and the rights of the States and
of all the States under it. Now, 1 do
not say the nominations made -at- New
York are the very.best that could have
been made for that purpose. The ele
ments to be organized into a victorious
army were four fold. To use a military
figure, there were four Army Corps to
be. organized into our grand army:
First-The Great Democratic Corps.
Second-The War Democratic Corps.
Third-The Conservative Republican
Corps. Fourth--The~Civilized Southern
Corps. The~first, oi- Dimocratic Corps,
was fully organized, with ranks well
filled, hut not in -sufficient numbers to
secure 'the victory.' There was the War
Democratic Corps, which supported Lin
coln in 18. ; but which, in consequence
of the great wrong- -above- mentioned,
was ready to sever itself from the radi
cal army- under General Grant ; , and
the Conservative Republican Corps, of
which you are pleased. to. speak of we as
a leader, who for the same reasons, were
ready to join the grand army, and to. do
all in their power to bring success to our
cause. The two last are the recruiting
corps. They hold the balance of power.
As a natter of policy, had .the first of
fice been given to a chief of the one or
the other, it wonid have rg:rde our victo
ry more easy, if dot more certain.
Everybody knows tbat the .result of
this'ootest is to depend upon the~im
partat question, whether we shall be
able to r-ecruit those two -corps- in suf

Pursuant to call a large and enthusiastic
meeting was held in the Court House on
Monday morning. Col. Moorman being
called to the chair, explained the objects of
the meeting. Dr. J. C Brown and John D.
Pitts were appointed Secretaries.

Y. J. Pope, Esq., and after a forcible speech
in their support by Maj.-Baiter, were unan
imously carried :
Resolved, unanimously, That the plat
form adopted by the National. Democratic
Convention in New York City, in July last,
meets our most cordial approval and hearty
support; and furnishes good reasons to
hope that the Government of the United
States will soon be restored to its constitu
tional basis, and the reign of radical terror
and oppression in the South, authorized by
the unconstitutional legislation of a rump
congress and enforced by the bayonet, will
soon be brought to a close forever. That
we hail with great satisfaction the nomina
tion of the Honorable Horatio Seymour, of
New York for President, and General Fran
cis P. Blair, of Mlissouri, for Vice President
of the United States, and that we will ac
cord to them our unwavering support and
influence ; That we most cordially approve
the manly and dignified, course pursued
by the South Carolina Delegation in
that Convention, and return to them. our
earnest and sincere thanks for their services
up discreetly rendered for the benefit of our
people, and so well calculated to give their
whole influence to the promotion of the
great cause in which our National Party
have embarked.
Resolved, That on the principles announ
ced by the Democratic Convention assem
bled in New. Iork City, form he only pal
ladium of liberty and security trom our erie
mies, it is expected that every Democrat in
Newberry District will do his duty in pro
moting the election of the above-named
nominees.
Resolved, That it is the duty of every
man, opposed to radical rule, to connect
himself with some Club in the District, and
actively.give his energies and support to
the Democratic cause.
Resolved, That a close organization of
all our available men, with efforts commen
surate with the importance of the cause in
which we are engaged, is the only means by
which a Democratic ascendency -in the Dis
trict can be obtained. -

lowing : That a Committee be appointed to

great procession, transparencies and il

the heart. At the Phonix office, the
sight of thirty-seven beautiful girls ar
rayed in white, nearly lifted the pro

never were heard before, and Selby

"The War between the States,
Its Causes, Character, Conduct and Re
suits," by Hon. Alexander H. Ste
phens, is the title of a valuable work
just issued by The National Publish
ing Co., Atlanta, Ga.
Histories of the late. civil war have
sprung up like mushrooms, and they
can now be - numbered almost by hun
dreds, but all who are desirous of ar
riving at a correct understanding of the
causes, and-a clear history of the events
of the late lamentable war, have felt the
want of a reliable history of the same
from a Southern stand-point, by some
representative man of the South. This
want is about to be supplied by Alexan
der H. Stephens. Mr. Stephens was a
most earnest protestant against rebellion,
and only succumbed at the last moment,
when his State, in spite of his warning,
committed the great error.
The bare announcemept that this dis
tinguisbed Statesman had determined to
write a-book, would of itself, be suffi
cient to kindle a lively and wide-spread
interest in all sections of the country;
-but when it is known that he has chosen
as his theme the one so fruitful as The
Late American War, the absorbing in
terest of the subject, together with the
evident and singular fitness of the au
thor for its treatment, unite it! awaken
tog a curiosity entirely unparalleled in.
the annals of American lterature.
- It presents-a carelol political analysis
of the past, separating Real frot, Appa
rent causes of the late unhappy conflict,
and gives those interior lights and shad
ows of the Great War, only known to
those high officers, who watched the
flood-tide of Revolution from its ftlun
tain-springs, and wbich were so accessi
ble to Mr. Stephens frots his position as
second officer of the Confederacy. -
To a public that has been surfeited
with apparently siiilar productions, it
presents a change of fare, botb agreeable
and satutary, and an intellectual treat of
the lhighest order. The Great American
Warhas atlait'found a historian war
thy. of its .iuportance, and at whose
hands it receives that moderate, candid
and impartial tratment which-truth and
justice so urgently demand. .

by stibscription,-and the publishers want

To the Public.
It-has altrays -been my.opinion, that the
health of a conimuiiity should not be confi
ded solely to the Medical Pr-actitioner. - Tbe
stsdy and pIeetice of Hy.giene--ihat is, the
inestigation and application of princi'
pies to th~e prevention of idisease-surely
belong to the people. It is. Dot my inten
tion. however, to insist upon this, as a pop
ular duty', except in one of its branches,
namely,-disinfection-the purifiestion~ of the
air wve breathe. The importance eand- pra.
icability of this, -hos been felt by- eey
body. ,Who has not scattered lime about his
house, in the hope of dimicishing the fre
quency, or moderating tihe severity of sick
ness ? This hope baa often heet disap
psoihteJ on- account of the feebleness comn
.ined with she btilk Aod consequent high
price of the disinfectants. emnployed. lBut,
ecently, a 4ewagent has been -introduced
into pracice, wir b such satisfactory results,
as to remo've- from ebnsideration all the
articfes hitherto -in use^ for this purpose.
This agent is 4'arbolle Acid-. It- was &
covered more than thirty years ago, in Ger
mn,but only ;ecgntly brought to notice.
There are two kinds of this substance-one
a darik brown -fluid, known as 4commnercil
Carbolic Acid-the other is, when kept
from thbe air, arcrystahine solid. This lat
t;er is solely -for t.he ph-ysician and surgeon ;
and its immenseyvalue in.the treatmnent of
various diseases is now iundergoing demion-.
stration. Tle comrnercial or fluid (Qtrbolic
Acid is used for disi.nfecting purposes, aqd
it is to this,- I wish to eafl- the attention of
the pedple.
Its effect is -to destroy all- low forms
of life-animnalcules-and-to arrest putfe
facflon and .fermentation. This is exem;
plified every day, no.w, in the us~ of-the
fruit-preserving fluid-the active ingredient
in Vis preparation bieing undouabt?edlv Car
bolic Aeid. Now, the researches- of the,
learned in- mnedicin-e, have, for aiany yetv,
been more a'd mor~e converging to the
opinion, that malarie-fever-poison-i a?.i
.malcular. From every boeality.where .ani.
mal or vegetable matter is, undergoing pu
trefaction, miyriads of niicrosi:opic locusts
. infinitely too small rojbe seen by the natural
eye-go forth into the atmosphere which
we breathe ; enter our lungs, and-perbay,
swarmning along -the current of on. blood.
visit every molecule of our bodies, o'n their
mission of death. In this way, it is thought,
the various types of feverare produced Now
here is briefly the point. Carbolic Acid
destroys, these animnaleules. There is-no
doubt of this. It kills the cockroach,draect
off house-flies, destroys vermia._upon -azi
mals, cheese-.nites, and all that class ; and
the strength sufficient to accomplish this do
struction, is perfectly irnocuoudi to- crea
tures of a higher organization than ineects.
My suggestion is, then, that every house,
should, at once, procure a piot.of fluid Car
bolic Acid, and use it as follows:^ Put one
half ounce of the Acid into a gallon of boil
ing water. Filter the solution thus made,
to remove anything from it that might pro
duce grease spots. The disinfectant is then
ready for use. An ordinary wineglasaful of
this solution should be spr-inkled in every
room in the house, every day or two. Let
it also be applied under the house, and to
every place that gives rise to impuire air..
It remores all manner of fetor, instanfa
neously. No sick room should be without
It. One dollar will purchase enough to dis
infect one house for six months. Let the
people put thieir- shoulders to this wheel,
and see what can be done for the improve
ment of health.
