Hoge's Protest In another eolunn we publish, by re quest, extracts from the protest of Solo mon L. Hoge, a copy of which he has served upon lIon. J. P. Reed, the mem- t ber elect from the 3rd Can. Dist., of this State, and whose seat is contested by the former. We publish only such parts of this voluminous document as have a general application to the election in all parts of the Congressional District, and such as relate particularly to the elcc tion in Newberry. We do not propose to enter into a. refutation of the charges against the good people of -Newberry, contained in this protest. That will be done at a proper tin.e, and in a proper manner, by irre sstible, overwhelming proof. But we cannot allow them to go forth without an unqualified denial of these truths from beginning to end. The last election t in Newberry passed of as qu&etly as any that ever was held within its limits. The good oder that prevailed through out the disttict was the subject, not t only of general remark, but of congrat- e ulation. We do not pretend to deny that a large number of negro voters re mained away from the polls, but not for the reason assigned by Solomon L. ioge. It was not violence, nor threats of vio lence that kept them away. It was the c result of a. proper view of what tbeir t true interests required them to do. They, or rather the greater number of them, at an evil hour, and under the evil counsels of such men as this hungry I aspirant for place, had, no doubt, been e committed to foillow radical leaders, but ais the election approached, and they ~ heard the discussions that took 'place upon the issues it involved, the scales began to fall from their eyes, and 'they a were enabled to look upon Radicalism a in all its defornmity. They listened to. the counsels of our wisest and best men, and saw plainly that their duty and their interests called upon theni to turn-their backs upon those who had f deceived them with lies amid false promi ses. Some of them bad hea?rd that same Solomon when be came here to enlighten them as to their duty.- But even what 'I .he told them on that occasion failed to 1h convince them that radicalism was what 'e it had been promised tQ be. -He was e hooted and hissed at by the little boys a as he went away, and this he calls an at- d tempt at assassination ! How could such a a man hope to get the votes even of c negroes? Assassination seems to be the t ghost of Hoge. It has appeared before q him on wpore than one occasion. It is b said that ikfolloived him on wings of fire a along the line of the Greenville & Co- e lumbia RI. Rt., from Anderson t,o Golum- o bia, all the way, "shakineg its gory lock,," I at him. Even while writing this protest it must have haunted him and made e his hair stand on end. 'Is it possible ti that the terror whieb got possession of n him last summer has produced a mental ja delusion w,hih has conjured up the facts t contained in this protest? This,.at least, o is the most charitable conclusion. But n then he is a judge-sits, upon the bench s and wears the robes wvhich were OliCe o hhnored by a Cheves, a Harper, a John- f: stone, and an O'Neall. 0 TEMPORA, 0 c MoREs! ~ , We invite attention to this extraordi-i nary paper, and the charges it contains. li .We hope that the comtthissioners and I manalgers of. election.s, the democratic a clubs, and all good citizens of th.e dis- f trict, will give our member elect all the aid i their power, to enable him to re-c fute by proof in proper form, the facts a stated in this protest, so far as they inm- t pute to the people of New berry, violence, n fraud and corruption in'the late election. ~ We all know (hat these charges are un true. Let us nmail them to the counter, n or hereafter we may as well let our eec-t tions go by default. INTEREsTING LET.TER.-We invite the reader's attention to a well written abd very interesting letter on first page from the cor respondent of the Charlestofi Daily News, I "Bird's Eye," who passed through our town "on the wing." For so rapid a survey of ~ our town and district, his, data is generatly E correct, and his sentences varied,well,woven a and complimentary. He gives Newberry a good position in the commercial picture-. fixes but few if any dark shadows, and draws out many high-lights. His statisticst are possibly a little at fault, yet his letter is J vigorous, truthful, perspicuous. To his flat- G tering notice of our humble selv-es we shall y strive to be worthy. Hoping that the News will ever sustain its position as the daily NEWs-paper of the State, and that the mer, t chants of Charleston and Newberry may r; grow to know each other better in the near b fuure, in all the varied business of 'change r and mart, we shall now proceed to completei the mercantile list of our town, a,portion of the leading firmshaving been accidentally omitted by the correspondent: b R.

Amick, W. H. Jones, .at o,her fi As these are times of cxteu'ive travel,whe1 many "go down to the sea in zhips," am )thers would like so to do but for its dan ;ers, it becomes a matter of interest to al to learn that the progress of art and science trongh inventive genius, are surely con hating the adverse elements. The day i: rot distant when one shall be enab:ed t< xitness the dangers of the deep without be ng endangered therney. And to, this enc mother agency has been added to the ne vork of protecting power that will guart ig:iinst the sutle forces of natu:e. Amon he recent patents is one taken out by at dopted Newberrian now sojourning ir Jhar;eston-Mr. i hbmas Mortimer. It it revolving davit and self-detaching appa -atus, (something entirely new,) to be use' n lowering boats. from burning or sinkin_ ,hips. We have examined the model, an. vill, as a matter of general interest, give s Jrief description of it. The clumsy as wel is dangerous mode of putting women anc -hildren into the life boats heretofore, sus )ended at or over the side of the ship, is en irely overcome. This revolving apparatus vith its screw,plate, lever and shaft, is 91 imple yet most powerful ccustruction. It it evolved inwardly to the hurricane deck vhere the passengers are safely stowed it be boats, and then revolved outwardly ani ver the side of the ship. An officer stand, ng upon the platform, watches his oppor unity and upon the rising cap of a favorinf vave, touches the trip line and away goe. he boat clear of the vessel, and upon an3 ingle, with the momentum of the ship it he boat and her passengers. Or the boa nay be allowed to descend, and so soon a! he does she instantly detaches herself. Bu me minute is consumed in dispatching i >oat, containing twenty-five passengers,thus n five minutes one hundred and 'wenty-fiv( >assengers are released. The boat cannol lescend other than in a horizontal position et the excitament and terror be what it ma3 here can be no irregularity in the lowerin? td detaching of the boat. In the ordiuar3 lavit two men are employed, and it oftet tappens that one of them lowers fa'ster that he other, and the boat enters the water enc 'oremost, precipitating its ,inmates into tht ca. It was thus,. if we' remember aright, bat young North was lost in the ill-fateu lndalusia; and many persons have been los etween the ship and small boat. Such a atastrophe can never occur, when the re rolving shaft is used, for it is beyond a per dventure for the rods to be inverted othei han simultaneously. Other advantages are hat the boat is not incommoded with the ,pparatus, the same being left with the-ship .nd one apparatus sufficing for any numbel f boats. This detaching apparatus can bt tsed with any kind of davits. The above apparatus is the great desidera um for steamships, &c. The fate of the perseverance, and of the Matanzas, an irot hip, which burned so rapidly that the crew arely escaped with their lives, is fresh ir ur memory. What condition of thingi rould there have been on board said shil ad she had passengers? Again, for the anding of troops from transports, it is in aluable: for with two apparatas, hundreds ould be.landed in a few minutes, while the hip is uinder h'eadway : each boat taking its ngle with the ship's momentum and reach og its objective point in a few moments. WVe wish our honored townsman great sue ess with his wonderful invention, and hope i labors, and a page in the annals of fane or his triumph. Exchianges.

The first great requisite in this very important matter is, that a move be made in the right direction, that some of our prominent business men take the initiative, and that a meeting be called in the Court house. The public mind has to sonic extent ICeCor c enlist ed in favor of such an ucerta,king, feel ing certain that the increased growth of cur town, not onl in population, but in commercial importance demand that a line of telegraphic communication be es tablished, and as speedily as possible. Newberry, we are proud to say, ranks second to no town this side of Charleston I in a business point- of. view, Columbia not excepted, and geographically its,situ ation makes it the centre spot of impor tance in the State. With the G. & C. R. R. on one haud, and which road is now in a prosperous and happy condition, and the Laurens road on the other, also in good condition, a district abounding in re sources, and one of the first for cotton in the State, with enterprising merchants, and public spirited citizens, why should she lag behind in the race. A telegraph will place No-aberry where she should be, on the topmost round of the ladder of prosperity, and we feel confident that tthe present agitation on the subject will lead to the successful carrying out of a project so eminently needful to her fu ture prosperity. We suggest that our merchants consult .together during the present week and fix upon a day for a public meeting, to be announced in the next issue of this paper. IN MEMORIAM J.D. N. Who fell in the Wilderness, May 6th, 1864. It seemed to mc iiipossible, though oft that dreadful day Came soldiers from along the lines, with tidings of the fray, And till agreed that thou hadst fallen, death smitten in the wood, When first the foe was turned and driven, in terror and with blood. Full well I knew the dangers of, that dark entangled place, For thou and thine were thrust in front, and (lashed into the face, Of massed battalions hurrying on, elate with victory O'er lines of men who ne'er before, were known to yield or fly. The yesterday we met those herdes, with our own little band, And broke their heavy rank-, and drove them back on every hand, But now at morn they muoved upon us in their full array, And swept the bruised and wearied line, that strove to stop the way. Lee, stern old -warrior, stayed the fight, and Hill of eagle eye Alas! to small ef feet, for't seemed, we should but stand to die ; Till Longstreet brought his close brigades, of soldiers fresh and brave, And rushed upon the foemen like a stormy ocean's wave. The battle join'ed th' opposing columns met in dea4y shock,. Wihe--niIrg e roll of.am tha ma et i eathto rock, hring~ an:d sllaying, till the foe fell back on every side, And then lay'st down in Victory's ams, * and sank;, and smiled, 'and died ! Oh, for the weakne~ss of the heart, thme t-lindnress of the mind ! I could n<>t feel thait thou wert dead, and even dared to find Reasons within my wayward soul, to show thy r:alue'd life Should be prieserved- immnortal through this long,'this miortail strife. I felt that thou shouhist live to see our country freed from chains To see the light of peace once more smile o'er her wasted plains To see the triumph and the power of thine own favorite cause, And help complete the fabric of our liberty and laws: I felt that thou shotildst live to bless the hearts that loved thee so That Love and Wealth and Fa,mne and Pleas. ure round tifbe full would flow And, finally, in good old age thy spirit pass a way, Like summer sun in golden clo'ids af.ter a long, bright day ! Yet thou art dead-dead e'er thy life ba.1 reached its golden prime - Thou of the stainless heart and, mind, thou .of the soul sublime ! - And we who loved to plan for thee long usefulness and fame Are left alone to grasp a fading niemory and a name. O for thy nrighty heart of steel, thy firm and smeady hand! Thy courage, truth and purity, that like the rocks did stand! an! h we O for thy kindly voice. n h we and sunny smile, So potent every weary heart of sorrow to beguile ! Yet are.these not lost, though thy mortal form has passed from sight: We'll bear them with us through the storm of Liberty's great fight, And they shall tell us how to brave, to battle with the wrong, And cheer us o.n to seek and strive, to bear and yet be strotg ! They gild the p ust with beauteous light, they future treasures ope, Enlarging our contracted thoughts into a wider scope, Till rising past our daily life, beyond our country even, They draw us up where thou art gone, unto the blissful Heaven! Sleep on, brave soldier ! Take at length thy well deserved rest ! Light lie the sods of rative earth upon thy pulseless breast ! The fragrant winds of evening softest mur murs o'er thee wave, Spring's fairest, purest blossoms flower upon thy quiet grave ! Sleep on ! secure from care and toil, fro-n every pride and hate, Beyond the reach of battle's roar, beyond the shafts of' Fate ! Sleep on ! and may kind providence grant us an end like thine, To fall at duty's p->st and pass into the life divine ! C. [For the Hieraldi.] THlE FORSAKEN.

WVoo is KING, OR WIA T ?-Old King Cole, merry King Arthm?r, the King of the Cannibal islands, and many other ings have had their day, and their virtues have been sung by poets now slumbering in the silent dubt. Notwith standing the ages which are scored against them, we all remember them, in spite of King Cotton, which seems Mclride the King of Pain, for a time, ruled triumphantly, and departed, leav ing a feeling remembrance of his won d rful achievcnents in physics and po lir prlor accompli1hments. A:i these have had their day. But a new light has sprung up in our midst, or came in on tiie cars. No grand flourish of trum pets announced his coming, no adver tisement appeared in the columns of the Herald, his praises filled no lips, but like a man, satisfied in himself, and in his ability to conquer, he caine. It rained the day he came, no matter, he bided at the hotel quietly, in his tight pants and close fitting coat, until it cleared oft; when a banner was hung on the outer wall, or rather fiom' the side of a dry goods, box, which proclaimed the advent of another King-Dr. King, the cue-all. Every malady under the sun would be made to fly under his magic influence. On the top of another box, he took his stand, in this portion of Dixie's land, opened his mouth and spake, spake fluently, volubly, irresisti bly, in commendation of his virtues, and thos, of his medicine. Crowds stood around, and drank in ,his eloquence. All the ailing negroeT i.n the -Keounty gathered around to be rubbed and-we were going to say gulled, but wont say it. The cures were marvellous, and the sales of his magic ointment, which re sembled (we were just about saying a common article of sweet-oil and tur pentine) goose grease were incredible. All day it lasted.. We are happy to say that Dr. King inade a good thing of it, not only for himself, but for the public, in that, by the latter, he relieved the darkies of their last dollar, which will force them now to go to woik, which they were not inclined on -the other hand to do. GENTLEMEN WB ARE. PRoD.-An anec dote-is related of an aspirant for military honors, who on a review occasion at tempted to make a speech from the back of his "charger." The speech opened with 'gentiemen I am proud," and ended there, unfortunately for him, after three efforts to get further, which were unsuc cessful, from the fact, that a wag stationed on his flank, pricked the speaker's horse, at that interesting point, and the animal making a cavort prevented all further progress. After the third attempt of "gentlemen I am proud," some one in the crowd, perhaps the same who pricked the horse, exclaimed, what in the d-l are you proud about ?
