TO MEET AGAIN. SY M%IS. HEZ.EN A. MANViLM. The fire of L'fe is burning low Upo. the heartihstonc of my heart, And sitting here to-night, I know That I ere lo:g must hence depart, That e'en Affiection's precious chain Lacks power to bind my soul to earth For ere the spring-time comes again Therc'il be but ashes on Life's hearth. And thou, beloved, whose dear heart So tenderly is linked with mine. I know thou'lt grieve when I depart, The golden bowl drained of its wine. But in this one sad hour of grief, One hope has power to soothe my pain The sweet assurance and belief "We only part to meet again." So do not reep w%ith idle tears When o'er ny close-sealed lips you stard: To me the swiftly fleeting years Will guide thy bark with kindly hand. Then dear, 'tis better net to let This grief o'ershadow all thy sky, The sun of life will only set To rise in the glad by-and-by. Xr. Greeley's Portland Speech. The address of Mr. Greeley, delivered in the City Hall, at Portland, Maine, which was given yesterday in our tele graphic columns, deserves more than a passing notice. Iere, for the first time since his nomination, Mr. Greeley seems to have departed from his usual reserve, and gives expression to his views. This speech justifies the confidence which the South is dispesed to repose in the Libe ral candidate. His sentiments breathe the spirit of the wise statesman, and for the South he has brave and generous words. Said he, at the close of his address: "From those who support me in the South I have heard but one demand justice;- but one desire-reconciliation. They wish to be heartily reunited and at peace with the North, on any terms which do not involve the surrender of their manhood. They ask that they should be regarded and treated by any Federal authority as citizens, not cul. prits, so jong as they obey and uphold every law consistent with equality and right. They desire a rule which, alike for white and blak, shall encourage indus. try and thrift, aud discourage rapacity and villainy. They cherish a joyful hope, in which I fully concur, that between the fifth of November and the fourth of March next, quite a number of Goverr.ors and other dignitaries, who in the absurd name of Republicanism and loyalty, have for years been piling debts and taxes upoD their war wasted States, will follow the wholesome example of Bullock, of Georgia, and seek the shades of private life. "The darker and deeper those shades, the better for themselves and for man kind; and the hope that my election may hasten the niuch desired begira of thiev .ng carpet-bagers has reconciled to the ntecessity of supporting me mnany who wotuld otherwise have hesitated, and probably refused." "Fellow-citizens, the deposed and par tielly exiled Tammany Ring has stolen about thirty millions of dollars from- the city of Newt. York. That was a most gigantic robbery, and hurled its con trivers .and abettors from power and splendor to impotency and infamy, but the thieving carpet-baggers have stolen at least three times that amount, stolen it from people already impoverished and ned,and they still flaunt their prospe rosvillainy in the highest places of the land, and are addressed as Honorable and Excellency. I think I hear a voice from the honest people of all the States de claring that their iniquity shall be gain ful and insolent-no lo:iger at the far-~ thest than the fourth of March next. By that time a national verdict will be prononneed that will cause them to fold their tents, like the Arabs, and as silen tly steal away, and that, I trust, will be the end of thetr st e ding at the cost of the good name of our country andI the well-being o f her people. [Carolinian. Blanton Duncan Blanton Duncan has drawn a picture of Mr Greeley as he was during the w-ar, and holds up his an'.i slavery crusade to the view of the Bourbon Democracy, for the purpose of alienating Democratic votes from Mr. Greeley and giving thema to Gran,t. We now propose to draw a pictnre of Blanton Duncan during the wvar, that the Democrats many know wh-at s,rt of a man he is who designs selling them out, and that Republicans may know the character of this silent partner of the fin of Grant, Cameron, Morton & Co. When the v:ar broke out, Mr. lilanton Duncan, after failing to force his State (Kentucky) into secession, of fered is services to Jeiferson Davis, wvith the expectation of reciving a high comn mission. IIe was made only colonel ar.d aide-de camp, and after a short timae re signed, and took a contract witht the Treasury Depart ment for printing and enigravin.g Con federate -notes. Hlis con - tract, after the spaice of six nmoz.:hs, was forfeited by the discovery that he had overissued several mzillions of doliars more than he had delivered to the T-ea s-.ry Department. For this he was arre-sted. Wealth and influence secured his release, and he left Richmond in dis grace'. IIe next turns up in Wilmington, N. C,as a blockade-runner, owning several vessels, and amassing a large amount of money in this lucrative business3 At last, however, the Confederate conscription laws grew so rigorous that either Mr. Blanton Duncan must enter into active service or give up a considerable portion of his property. lHe concluded to do n:either, ar.d getting his means into port able shape, ran through the Union blocka-ding fleet and escaped to Nassau, wlhence, after somne time, he makes his appearance ini the Northern States in time to save his immense Kentucky es tates from confiscation, which he does by showing that he had al-'ays been a staunch Union man! This is Mr. Blanton D)uncan's record, as furnished to us upon good authmoritf'. As a fire-eater, be ended in disgrace. As a dirt-eater, ended in success. He now once more re appears in public life as the manager of: the side-show to the Philadelphia Con vention, wherein he proposes to sign, seal and deliver over to Grant such Democrats as lie may catch wiTh his specious pr tences. We have supplemented1 lis circu lar with his record, and submit them both to honest Democrats. With these letters of credit, he is at liberty to o:>e-n shop at once for the sale of Democras to G;rant-Chicago Tribune. In a lec'ture by Fathier Hyvz'inth', d,e live-red. recently in Roms, he surprised those w'ho boaird hin by the lenigith to w:hih hie went is denouncing severail of the-distinec rice doctrines of the Chareb of loume, such as the invocation: of saints; anzd lhe azt:ckedl also the celi'aey of tihe clergy, and sp!d .f the do-trne of the Real Presence as Wednesday, August 21, 18M, FOR PRESIDENT, HORACE GREELEY OF NEW YORlK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. GOV. B. GRATZ BROWN, OF MISSOI RI. Xirion Stirring. An address to the citizens of Marion County, by W.. W. Sellers, Esq., and oibers, is published in the Star of the 14th. The address was adopted by a number of citizens at an informal politi cal meeting. It suggests the holding of a Conver.tion of the friends of reform, and recommends speedy organization of the forces in favor thereof. Is it not time for New berry to move? Republican Conventions in Charleston. The Mackey and the Bowen wing of the Republican party nominated distinct tickets for delegates to the State Con vention, both wings 1apped boisterious ly in favor of reform, one party being fully impressed with the idea that the other needed reform, and the other most heartily reciprocating th. sentiment. We are inclined to believe them both. The "Armed Force Fand." We copy in part an article from the Gharleston News, in reference to the above fund. We have no space to put in type '.he names of all the persons who received tbeponey, and the respective sums expended. We mention only F. J. Moses, Jr.,* candidate for Governor, as having received $11,000, and R. B. Elliott, member of Congress, $10,500. We kno-v of no actual services in the field they have performed. The coi pensation must have been given them for arranging the plan of campaign, and organizing victory in their studies a la Moltke. Plantamour's Comet and Gov. Scott. We breathe more freely ; the day ap pointed for the great clash has passed; the earth still moves in her wonted path, and the Geneva Astronomer has to re vise his calculations. It has iong been known that the matter composing a comet is of such extreme tenuity that it would be repelled by the outmost lay ers of our atmosphere. It has been lately maintained, however, that the gravita tional force of a large comet might be sufficient to disturb the earth's journey. To quiet our neighbors' nerves, we would state that the . briliiant comet of 1858, known as Dlonati's, (whose beautiful appearance is doubtless remembered by many of our readers) dJid not contain sufficient mass, even if as near ats the moon, to have exercised any appreciable influence on the tides or any other phe nomena, or condition which can be af fected merely by the mass or gravita tional power of a proximate body. We received this information from our devil, who picked it up somewhere lying loose on the shelf, but it is considered as relia ble as the State Treasurer's statcments. However that may be, we have a respite for a time, and if the respites of comets are like Gov. Scott's, we may soon look for a general pardon. The Hon. A. S. Wallace and Kinority Repre sentation. The eyes of the United States arc on Illinois to see the'effect of the new law introducing minority representation, forgtting that the 4th Congressional istrict of Sonth Carolina furnishes the brightest example of the effieacy of una dulterated mi nority representation. The Hon.. A. S. Wallace, wbo has just been nominated as the republican candidate for the House, was in 168 elected to Congress by a minority of over four thousand, and we can see no other rea son that Congress seated himt in 1870, except upon the principle of minority representation, which it had been de termined to try in the 4th Congressional District, which was to be made a kind of trial ground for all governmecntad e,z periments, the suspension of the Iabeas Corpus and Deputy Marshal rule amonig oters. it was no doubt considered to be a God-forsaken strip of coiuntry, the very cradle of secession, and the habita tion of half-made men, fit for nothing else but to be experimented on by our fat therly Government. Well, the expert ment of minority representation met with splendid success ; through its op eration the great K. K. Killer has for four years represe:nted the experiment ground in Congress. But now there is danger that the experiment will fail in the next election ; nearly all the white men have been run off, (of course all K. K. and democrats) and there is a chance that the 1ion, member may have a REAL GEN NEls majority. Now, there is the dan ger for him ; if he should receive a ma jority, Congress will certainly refuse to seat him. Another Item for the "Union." We clip the following from an ex change of a late date: "Kentucky has a wonderful spr-ing of water that in Summer looks like bloc'l. The bloody looking water runs from it twice a week,but for only a few moments at a tinme. During the Fall the bloody water runs but once a week, and after the disapparane of the blootly hue, the water assunies a purpiish hue, which soon passes otf. T'he water is said to be very delightful to the taste-." Is it possible that the "Union" shouldl have allowved the above intelligence to p ss unnoticed ? Why ! lfatctori( s mnore obtuse than his wo-uld samel "htchlh" . Ku Klus in thie above paragraph. A spring of blood !Is it Eet plain th.at 'he Knights of the hIvisinle Emire ate hoding their Saturualia: that they arc great Ku Klux Raa!? And whose blood is it? Mark! "It assumes a PCt'LISH hue." It i0 the real "sangre azul," of the negro magnates, of the Elliotts and Swails of old Kentuck. And if there should be ai' doubt, listen to the last sentence. "This water is said to be very delightfui to the taste." Now, tc whose tnste can 'uoody water be de lightful, except. to the pa!ate of the aid er-; and abet -ors of the said Rn % Klux ? Whocver tinds the taste of s'uch water delightful,is guilty under the enforc:-ment act, wi:hout nny furtl,er p-ocess. Men have been sent to Alhanv on nrc -!en der evid.:nee.

Dn.%- READE:.-We write on the wing and under the diadv::ntage of limited time. The quiet shad&e of G-nn's were left behind ye..terday. and v.th regret, first, because the benefit derived from the water was great, sccond, that the enjoyment experienced this visit oi seven teen days far exceeded any .other ,I our previous visits, and last but not least, that we had to tear away reluctuntly from the society of as pleasant a circle of nature's fairest creation as re1ti1sS man ever was thrown into. How sad the parting, how many and warm the entreaties that we would not go yet, would decide even at the last no;nent to remain ; not all the sighs:, saddened face:s, suffused eyes, failed to o-eome our re s3lve ho-wever, and indeed it looked as if we were entirely devoid of heart tender ness and accommodation, when the cir enmstances aie understood and the situ aton gone uver from the one standpoint Iere were A PARTY OF LADiES, who were obliged to husband their re sources, (there being but one active geij tleman at command,) of course they need ed much attention, such attention as i only pleasant at the hands of a gentie man. His position was not by ar. means a sinecure, but nevertheless won derfully pleasant. Well, every addition to the company in the shape of lady-and toward the last it seemed as if none other were coming-caused a commotion atnong the fair occu pants, they felt they had the vantage and ought to hold it, their solitary geni tleman was held by right of possession, their property, and valuable because rare, no new comner had a right to put in a claim for division. A nd so it went on. One day however brought a whole load of divinity--think of it, a whole load, a large load, and well packed-true, there was a gentleman along who was not ail ing, and could have rendered valuable aid, but it was ascertained he was to re turn imnmediately from where he camne. There was A coM.MOTIoN IN TiHE cAMP, what was to be done, caucusses were long aod frequent, in the meantime tbe one ac ive rman had leisure to look around him and vew the scene so charming, business was a trifle slack. The recreation was brief, the reins were drawn up and the tan-(oh for a man-oh for a man-a mansion in the skies)-put to his paces. On another occasion, and immediately following, to the extreme constern.ation of all there came more of thetm, another bevy, it was more than human nature could bear, mutiny was imminent. It iour belief that the safety and well be ing of that only, and hard-worked man occupied their thoughts chiefly, and that it was not so much a selfish feeling, it was possible he might give out, or in, and either go up, evaporate or absquatu ate. Oh how kind they were, bless them, and how sweet. Not all the blan dishmecnts bestowed though were suffi cient to change that highly favored ma n's resolve, enough with him was as good as a feast. This amn never had a fancy for A wn'oLEs.LE PUsTNF.ss. a rice, snug liWe retail trade has ever been his fancy, and it is too iate now in the day to change his old, established notions. It was too much. Would we had the space, time and ability to draw the picture of that man-with ladies to the right of him, others to the left of him, and a pretty good sprinkling in front of him. Is it to be wondered at that his human heart failed, and that he fled and yielded] the field to the two disabled but therwise agreeable gentlemen,, the only two left. Not by any means reader, "put yourself in his place," and see how ou would like it. We would have done nrecisely the same thing as much as we love the dear ladies. But we have stretched that item out to too great leng'.h and have nearly occupied tihe lit tle time had for writing-thme ladies are responsible for it however. .round G;lenn's, and in fact all over the ounty of Spartanburg are splendid never before were ever so good--just here we arc interrupted -all ready is the cry -make haste-too late, etc., from the ompressed bps of that nervous gentle man Maj.

To the Relatives and1 Friends of the Confed erate dead of Newbe-y. We the undersigned Committee appointed by the "Pomaria Monumental Association," to memorialize other sections of the County, to assist in erecting a fitting monument to the Confederate dead of our County, respect fully submit the following appeal: It is well known thatseveral attempts have beer made. but from want of unity of action, or an indisposition at that time to revive any memories of the past, political excitements &c.. caused a lukewarmness to manv. and conlsenuently the enterprise failed. It has now been seven years since the close of the war, and there cau be no possi ble excuse, why all should not c.ntribvtte, and assist in erecting thig suitable, appro priate and long looked for .M1onument to the dead of Newberri. To the p.,triotic ladies, we especially make this appeal. It is to you we look for assi.st :nce, you who have ever honored the fallen h'.:oes. While hsfbands and F-ithers are en:ged in the passing conflicts of tho day, te: the ladies be faithful!y at work in this laudable urdertfking. Already beveral baudred dollars have been donated, and with a little assistauce frora the ot.ber portions of the county. fewberry will not be long without a monument-a fitting tribute to her fallen sons. We do not pro pose to lead in this undertaking, but earnest ly ask the co-operation of the whol, Coun:y to assist us in perpetuating the temories of the Lost Cause, and prercrve the names of those who died to save it. Let not those wbo fell unknown on dirait .elds be for;;ottou. iet us erect a monument to their memory. and have their names at least engraved upon it. Let not the living forget the faithful (lead. By honoring the dead we hat pay tribute to the living. Let not the unmes of the poor Confederates be lost, for the want of means to preserve them. Remember the cause for which they died, the "Lost Cause," a cause to be loved and remembered: while honor, patriotism, and chivalry are held in esteem. For the sake of the widows and orphans, let us erect this montment, as a memento of the daring and death of their loved ones. As to the survivors, there needs but little ha said. They wi!! do their duty. They can not forget their comrades, who shared with them the privations of camp, the fati;-ue of marches and stood by them amid the storm of battles. Again we urge the cause, and entreat alli to assist in paying this last tribute to the dead. Hoping soon to hear a hearty response and a call for a County "Monumcutal" Meeting in which all will join, we beg to remain, Very Respectfully, D. A. DICKEU.T, MISS1 EMMA LAKE, " LIZZIE CROMER, " FANNIE E. ]ZISEIt, EfLrOT BUSIY. The Mythical "Armed Force." In February, 1869, the General As sembly passed a resolution anthorizing the Governor to arm and equip a com pany of one hundred nen for the defence of the State. Under this resolution a body of constabulary was organized, and a large sutm of money we.s exp:ided. There being no further use for the "armed force," if there ever was any, it was supposed to be disbanded. It ap p)ears, however, that since the first of November last, $89,423,30 have bee drawn from the State Treasury on ac count of this very :'rmecd force ; this huge disbursement being made, as Justice Willard of the Supreme Court says, "in a year which no necessity for a resort! on the part of the State to military force is known to bare existed, and when the resourccs os-the State ate inadequate to meet the current expenses of the gov ernent, or to provide for a p)roper ad ministration of justice." For our own part, we do not believe that the Armed Force is in existenice We believe that the money was corruptly used by Governor Scott in staving off thre impeachment resolutions last winter The list of persons who received the money tells the talc only too plainly. In Columbia it is universally believed that nearly all the "Armed Force" ex-| penditures was consumed in bribery. And, with the names and figures before them, it is hard to see how any se-nsible person can reach a differernt conluion. [Charleston News. 1 TIlE ALrs.m BAs'rLE.-Tnere arc now sity-ivn it a prisoners from the Sout inthePenitentiairy near Albany, N. Y., which is a County, not a State prison, and supports itself by the larbor ] of the prisoners. In behalf of some of these prisoners, as stated some days ago,> HIon. Gerritt Smith has advised pardon, it having been established to his satis faction that they are innocent of the charges against them. The President has taken the matter in consideration, and has sent a special messenger, Col. Whitely, chief of the secret service, to make a thorough investigation as to all of the prisoners, and upon tile report of this oflicer, it is stated, he will base his action. Hlezekiah Porter, one ef the un fcrtunates recommended for pardon by Mr. Snu:th, it seems, is now past the need of Executive clemency, having died on Friday. Art interviewer of the World follows Grritt Smith in his exploration of the secrets of these prisoners. and he con firms the exneriernce of Gerritt Smnith that many of these so-called Ku Klux es are guiltless of thre ciimecs chrarged against them, and have been sent there solely on account of their polities.

This bein- the fact, it is very obvious bat' when the blood becomes corrupted the whole system becomes corrupt also. To relieve tbis, the true policy undoubtedly i.s to direct the re:netiv to the source of the disease. It i- in thib m:inner that Dr. Tutt's Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight acts. Its specific effect is on the blood; it purities it. vitalizes it, and ex pels all distemper fiom the svstem. Being free from violent Minerais,it is adap ted to general use. The old and young may use it; the most delCate female, at any time, may take it: the we.tk and enfeebled will be stren.thened by it: the tender infant, who rmay have ncherited disease, will be cured by it. For Syphilis. and all its trains of evils, it is a sure antidote.

Even the strongest nre sometimes prostrated by its efrects. The coninon phrase applied to this con di,iov of the body is "eneral debility." \ow, genernl debility arists fron-, and ini. chudes a variety of ailments. The liver is wore or les:i ilected, the bowels are ei!hur conAtipated or too much relaxed, the sto:n ach but hn 1 performs, the work of digestion, the pnpetite is poor, and the spirits depress ed. This is what is called general debility. It is a general di.arraneeniont of all the physieni functions, and requires as a remedy a medicine that will regulate them all. lostetter's Stomach Bitters is specially adapted to :his purpose. Its general op. cration is not conti:nt-d to a single organ. I the liver is affected, it restores its toie. Ii the stomach is torpid, it regenerates it. If the nerves are tremulous and weak, it braces and reinforces them. If the mind, which ever synpat::izcs wid the body, is Iloomy and despondent, it relieves the difficulty, and soon bring the whole me chanism of the body into harmony with the laws of healh. There is no civilized nation i:: the West eru Hemispbere in which the utility of Hos tecter's Stomach Bitters as a tonic, correc tive, awd anti-bilious medicine, is not known and appreciated. Throughout the Tropics it is considered, both by the people and the profession, the standard specific. While it is a medicine for all seasons and all climates, it is especially suited to the complaints generated by the weather, be ing the purest and best vegetable stimulant in the world. Beware of the Bitters nde of acrid and dangerous materials, which unscrupulous parties are endeavoring to foist upon the people. Their name ii legion, and the pub i lie has no guarantee that they are not poisonous. Adhere to the tried remedy, iostetter's Bitters, sold only in glass, and never in kegs or barrels. Aug. 7, 32-1m.
