Thisis the meann:g of the Un ion i eforn inovement and its object. Reeer Township Society. A large and enthusiastic meeting of Union R.fornists was held at Jalapa, and a Society formcd for the Reeder Township-on Friday the 2d of Septem ber: the fol.owing oiicers were elected: President-Jacob Summers.

The good work is going on steadily and surely. Goca 1fews From worth Carolira We have just heard from the two col ored men, Casey David and Hosea Wynn, v.ho were sent by the citizens of this county from Frog Level to the State of N:rth Carolina, tho gratifying inteli genace, that there is not a word of truth in the abomin:lb!c repCots which hare been truinpe: up by the radical party, that the white pcople of that State hav ing carried their ticket a:ainst the radi cais are now turni:g back on the colored people, etc.,ete., of hich firthc*' ncntion will be made in go.d time. These men write that i: is all a base fabrication, that they are highly pleased with the condi tion of afThirs, and have been treated with great consideration and kindness by white and colored. At last accounts they were on the road to Raleigh, with letters from G,)v. Vance, whom they had conversed with, and for whom they ex press great ::d:iration. Great is truth. I Radical Progranme. Thradical programme is being car - ried out with vigor. The case is becom iug d esperate, and desperate remedies are being resorted to. Scott afiirmed, about th~e time of his famous Washing ton speech, that no intimidation should be allowed at another election, and to prevent any thing of the kind, Winches. ter rifles should be put into the hands of the black people, to protect them against the threats and bushwhacking of the whites. Since this he has added bali cartridges to the rifles. In the mean time, as the whites are at peace, and are engaged in no unholy crusades against the colored people, and never have been for that matter, the n,i!itia, with their guns, are bushwhacking their own col ored brethren, who dare to say that they have a mind of their own, and who have ali:ed themiselves to the Re.formnists, in hope of establishing an ho::est govern m:ent and instituting a better and more p ro perous tunie. In this district we have heard of three eases alreadv. On.e in which a fellow byj *the name of .Sun Ioozer had asked Watt -.- to jin his party in h-nching Dave -,a refor:mi- li-.ing at Capt. John Nanens; whether they got ands on him or no e did not earn. Watt, to hins 1:o. a. i sid,! ref-:sed to take part in :t. Anothe case occurred tw~ o wee>s ....,........ d..y,.and at a religious meet ing,in al- a andof negroes /niUitia) tre to . '-.citon is, anothe-~r good refomi,. E th: prpcose of killing him, :s:hey3:. Simsc got away from themi. And sti a:cother ease, the particulars of~ which wecoidd no: z.t at. An! this is the radical-Scott-militia progr:umie: bushwhncking their own brethren heeau-se they have an opinion of their own. No threts, mind you, or int;imida:i ns wil be allowed, says D)r. Scott, but h.: mean;t on the other side. The ilitia caun murdcr their brethren and no h-trm done, bee:mec it serves the cause of Riepublicanismi. And then we hear of numberies threats by the saume militi1, that if thoce who are disposedl to act a sensible part and let these Winchester rides alone, do not turn out and muster, that they will *kill them. This threat iscommconc through the country. These men are not to be frightened, however, and we have beard from some the repiy, that the first one wbo comes to !ay hands on them will meet with their deserts. Hlow long is , state of affairs to continue before worse d5 is the restilt ? What has Dr. Scott to say to this ? 'asa peace programme ? What doesC th niece say to this? Who is fo%.he party ?

Wh. he's only b:TF kin to a Dutch 14:!:0. falr we sh.u2 h-tve said. [Hecrald. "An Ounce of Preventive, Worth a Pound of Cure." Tho diabolical game of Governor Scott s dail!y becoming moro apparent. His persistence in refusing to receive white companies is showing the hydra-head of radical deformity as clear as noon-day sun. The arming of one class exclusive ly with improved weapons, and with cartridges to make them effective, has a meaning surely, and the people of South Carolina are blind if they do not see through it. Not ore section of this State but has its quota of armed coorel nilitia, while we kno^" of uono which has been favored h this would be con servator of the peace with a whito organ ized company. Let the people ask them selves what this means ? Does it look like a peace measure, this arming of a class of irresponsible, ignorant people, in array against another class? This militia training is no idle, holiday afiair, and it behooves us who have rights to guard, and interests to protect, to lu":n at it in its proper bearings. The meaning is ap parent to all, and it 4s worse than folly if we do not prepara to meet it. Only a few weeks a;o we saw Scott and Crews with hc"ls close together in intimate and earnP;t talk; a few days after we heard -of Crew's infamous harangues at Laurens to his colored cohorts, in which they were told that it would not be long ere they would get all that was rightfully theirs-meaning the property of the white people-that they bad the means in their hands-the Winchesters-and only a feai days after we hear of some of the effects of his vile teachings, in a ca;o of arson and one of theft, and that the guilty parties in the latter, after being legally arrested, were turned loose by a son of Crews without trial. Does it not seem that Scott is the adviser in these doings? We do nr;t want such proof however, the one-sided arming is proof as clear as holy writ. Eff.rt after ert has been made to gain his consent for the organization of white companes. These efforts have failed, and wi! continue to fail if further offercd; his pnrpnse is to prevent this; and it now rests with us to provide a;ainst this unilawfu!, unau thorized measuro and prepare for any emergency. Gov. Scott has no right to array one class of men against another, and the only alternative left is that the other class prepare to take care of itself. Long and patiently has this thing been borne with, and not until we see the cui minations of his "purpose" in the teach ings of such men as Crews, and others of as low degree, has "patience ceased to be a virtue." The white people are not the enemies of the colored people, and this they know right well, for by them are they fed, clothed, and ministered to in sickness, but when under the leader ship of vile cut-throats and thieves who have been selected by the Scott ring for this infamous work, they ao capable of forgetting who is their natural fr iend and protector, and of smiting tbe hand which nourishes them. The white people do not seek their harm, on the contrary would preserve them and warn them of the danger into which they are being led blindfold, but they will take sucb measures of precaution as will insure their own safety. In a word, citizens of Newberry, every man has the right to protect himself, and we advise organiza tion and improved means of defense. "An ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure." See to it at once, Gov. Scott to tbe contrary notwithstanding. Since writing the above we learn that Go. Scott has accepted the "Columbia Rite" Company, and that the necessary commissions bafe been issued, and a re usiton for arms approved. The Guac dian says: "We believe this is the first wvhite com;pany that Gov. Scott has ac eptd, but presume that, hercafter, none will be refusedl when applications are properly made. Since we miust have a aGi2i nothing will se-rv'e so well to p-even:. co:isio:ns and preserve good or kr anrd quiet as an impar ti organiiza ;o of theC sa!Ae. A he-avy responsib)iii yv in tnis respect rests upon the young ee of the State; anid they shou:ld promptly enroll shermsel7es, and be pre pared to act under the winrgs of the law in the preservation of peace and the pro tctioa of property." Don't Like the Prospect The wecre sensibjle and reflecting mtong the colored men are becotming uneasy. The possible and highly proba ble resuts which will fullow the~ possnes sion of Winchester rifles andI ball car trides, in the hands of irresponsible ad easily excited negroes, is opening uP tvision to their minds which smells of Janger, The prospect to themi is be ~oming alarmoing. And well may they e alarmed. 3i.: thing is plain, and ntares them in the facs, and it means' bie-that if Scott suceeds -N bringing us militi. un to the full measure ond ress, and a collision between the races esues, that the loss will be on the side if the militia. Sensible colored men :now this and they are disposed to lend heir influence against it, and they do el. Scott knows it also, but like a Irowning man be catches at a straw ; be ; hoping agaiust hope, and all of his ceendiary minioos feel it, but when the rorst comes, they will have secured a neans of getting away out of the bell hey have raisd-at least this is anotber in of their hopes-and preserving their 'recious carcasses frome harw. The col r< people will be left to take wbat w ill ,..w. The thieves will be out of harm's rav with their ill gotten wealth, while h poor, deluded worshippers of this use-hearted party, will suf'er the full Isure of their folly.

It speaks well for the cause of Reform, that our people are most thoroughly aroused as to a sense of their duty at this perilous time, and that they are working with an efficiency wbich augurs success. Newberry district is fully awake, and at no time in our cxperience hnvo we seen hero so much and such general enthusiasm, in any direction, as is now exhibited in this great Reform movement, which Is *;stined to bring about such glorioi. ...'i happy restult. in our brief trr': e.r-c and there, of h ,, I V, .

Here and there is to be found alukewarm afraid-to-move sort of man, but thank Heaven there are not many sncb. And how such a spirit can live in the breast of a citi?en of South Carolina, with all the lights of experience and reason, and all the palpable proofs of corruption be fore him, and all the signs of danger looming up in the threatening future, passes our dull comprehension. The man who will not take hold now of the means presented, i3 committing a fratri cidal act, and one which he will bitterly repent of if be lives, and the radicals succeed in their efforts. We hope that this apathy, no matter how rare it is, may be overcome, and that our people may be a urit. True, too, there are a few who have sold their birthright for amess of pottage, and a very small mess, but when in the history of the world have traitors ceased to sbow themselves? We are not disappo' ted in this, and much bet ter is it that t se double dyed villians show their hands openly, that we may know them, than that they should work in the dark. Better infinitely that they play the viper openly. We know them, the whole brood, and these Jlasses must be watched. It excites then the lveliest hope to see such universal rthuinsr among the good and the true. Only let our ci'izen Reformists do their duty, and in nothirg grow remits, speak fearlessly the truth on every fit ting occasion, to the one class who Fo much need truthful enlightenn,ent, ad:ise with the lukewarm, arid watch the traitor; in short be instant in and out of season, as occasion presents, and we believe that the day will be ours. Every man carries his weight of influ ence, whether it be much or little, and every man can do something, and that something is what is to be done now. Every man should constitute himself a canvasser, and advise with his own im mediate people, independent of our club canvassers, who, it is not to be expected can reach every man in their several beats. This will not conflict with the club work in one iota, for the leu.ion is the same, one text only is to form the subject to be talked about, and that is Reform against corruption, and thelt and ruin. No particular or general plan can be laid down either, as to how to approach this man or the other. We take it tat every individual worker knows the cpacity of the man he approaches, and the be4t avenues through which to make that appro-ach. All men are vulnerable at somei point. If reason and truth fail, try him on another track. Orr had his price. But above all things let the Re form party show themselves fearless, that in spite of the threats of Scott's mis erable tools who are preaching discord, and in spite of his Winchester argumert, we are going to do our duty and are pre pared for any event. flethel School Celebration-Part 2d.

Well, then, as the county is getting in a little supply from the sale of cot ton, and as every other man owes us a mite in some shape or other, we will be under a thousand obligations if each one hands over the little amount due. Don't think that be, cause the amount is small, that it will do us no particular good, and that another and la ter time will answer as well; don't think that, hut come up as soon as you handle any of the needful and pay up, and the several littles will make a respectable pile in our es timation. It takes but a moderate amount to satisfy a printer. We have labored faith fully, waited patiently, dunned not at all, and sffcred there is no telling how much. Will you come up now ?

We have this on such good authority-none other than that of 1lark Twain, who has lately turned bis a: tention to agricultural matters-that we are Foreed to the conclusion, though very reluct' intly, that there is some truth in it. .e ,dea of introducing shade trees on large lantations, has been a hobby with us for some time. That some such thing is badly eeded by a large class of farxm workers is ndisputable. And could the pumpkin, and aot only that, but the water melon and the squash, and their kindred, be made to sub serve the purpose, mitch unnecessary sweat ing and con-equent debility, besides perhaps not a few chills and fevers, mightbe avoided; but alas, we are told th4t they will not an swer. We ntire too, thit the freedmen are taking to the use of umbrellas, going to and returning from the field, and before long they will hoist these cf::on protectors in the field itself. It is oar object to prevent this. and not only this, bat to ride our hobby to a successful issue, that we to may beco:me an agriculturist, and "go for" cotton and corn under a shade, and in the cool. We like farming, and vice versa don't like editing: have given the latter a fair trial, and it don't pay. That there are other fields of labor, more conducive to happiness, more lucra tive, and which will satisfy our heart in all reasonable desires. we are satisfied, and we are going for one-the fle!d of agriculture. Our hopes of getting rich and mellow, and happy, and of holding some h igh position. art in a glimmering state, and will soon ":ass to the clime where the wood-bine twineth," or more figuratively "go where the mole dwell eth," that is, run into the ground. We have good grounds for this; hosts of good men and true, have tried it in vain. A farmer's life is our fancy, that Is, aside from the dificulties, and the sweating, already spoken of, and we shall not let this failure of the pumpkin to serve as a shade tree, deter us; no, we will throw the paper overboard, and agriculturate just so soon as our plan is matured. It's a forty acre lot, fenced, but as bare as a skin ned pig. The idea is, that instead of the pumpkin, it shall be laid off in regular rows of peach. apple and plum trees: these we are convinced, will afford shade sufficient for all reasonable purposes, and under the umhra geous foliage of which. with a one horse sulky plow, and other improved machines, we will work till we cannot rest. This is our plan, and we believe that when our succcs; is seen, that farmers generally will adopt it and thus a tew. improved, hcnl;hfttl :tn pleasant system of farming -ii. take th< place of the present style, and which aon< has kept us from entering upon it before. As soon as ottr tre s ats large enough, we will bid adie't to editorial life, delinquen suscribers, anr an unappreciative world.
