JAMES CHESNVUT, Chairman Executive Committee, Prophesies Fulfilled.. Thomas Jefferson said: "Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people (the slaves) are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the twco races equally free cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion have drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. It is still in our power to dirset the process (colonization) peaceably. * * * If on the contrarv it is left to force itself on, human nature must shudder at the prospect. We should in iain look for an exaw>ple in the Spanish deportation, or depletion of the Moors. This would fall short of our ease.". Daniel Webster said :. "If these infernal fanatics and abolitionists ever get the power into their hands they will override the Constitution, set the Supreme Court at defiance, ebange and make laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands on those who differ with them in opinion and dare question their infallibility, and \ally bankrupt the country and deluge it in blood." John C. Calhoun said: "If emancipation ever should be effected it will be through the agency of the Federal Government, con. trolled by the dominant power of the Northern States of the Confed eracy against the resistance and strug gle of the Southern. It can only b effected by the prostration of the white race; and that would necessar ily engender the bitterest feelings of hostility between them and the North. Owing their emancipation to them, they could regard them as friends guardianzs and patrons, and centre accordingly, all their sympathy in them. The people of the North would not fail to reciprocate and favor them instead of the whites. Under the influence of such feeling, and im pelled by fanaticism and love of power they wvould not stop at emancipation. Another step would be taken to raise them to a political and social equality with thier former otoners by giving them the right of voting and holding public offices under the Federal Gov ernment." Again he says : "Raised to an equality, they could become the fast political associates of the North, act. ing and voting with them on all ques tions, and by this political union be tween them, holding the white race in the Sout h in complete subjection. The blacks and the profligate whites that might unite with them could be come the principal recipients of the Federal offices and patronage, and would in consequence be raised above the wchites in the South in the politi cat and social scale." Peace Societies. The Peace Cause is as old as the Christian religion, but the first Peace Socriety of modern times, was organ. ized in the City of New York in the Summer of 1815, when the sad re sults of our last war with Great Britian were yet fresh in the minds of the people. Thirteen years later, the American Peace Society wags formed 'n Boston, so that it has been in opera. tion more than forty-five years. Its objects are to prevent wars between nations and rebellions at home. If it can.t prevent all such. it will not la bor in vain if it .orestalls one in ai hundred, any more than-Temperance Societies, because they cannot abolish all intemperance. Peace Societies in our country and Europe, hope to accomplish their ob. jects by bringing the truth, and espe. eially the truth of the Gospel, to bear on the custom of war. They propose, -s substitutes for it, mutual forbear ance-negotiation-arbitration, a n d ultimately a Congress, or High Court of Nations, to settle national-difficulties. So numerous and influential have they become, that they have already done much for the maintainace of peace. But much more must be done, or the demon of war will continue toeurse our country and the world. The American Peace Society has various appliances for infinencing pub. lie sentiment. It publishes a month ly periodical-t h e "Advocate of Peace," which is worthy of wide cir culation. It has on its catalogue about one hundred differeat books and tracts written with great ability, and containing facts, arguments, incidents, and illustrations which aie perfectly convincing. It em ploys agents and and colporteurs to bring the cause be fore the people by the living voice and the circulation of its publications. It bespeaks the aid of Editors, Minis ters, Teachers, and all others in its heaven-born enterprise. It is commended by such men as Governor Buckingham, Bishop Mlor ris, Professor Peabody, Stephen H. Tying. Howard Malcom, E. 0. Haven, Reverdy Johnson, David D. Field, William E. Dodge, George H. Stuart and thousands of other philanthropists and christians.

The Herald is in the highest respect aFam ily Newspaper, devoted t6 the miateipal m terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively. and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. A Temperance Organization for the Colored People. For a long time. the importance of organizing temperance societies among the colored people has been felt by all who have the general prosperity of the cause at heart. It is patent. that since the war intemperate drinking has made sad havoc among the negroes. Whiskey is the cause of more than half their troubles. Something should be done to check its reekless use. A great difficulty has heretofore been in the way-of organizing societies among them. As a matter of course they could not be admitted as members of the orders in existence to which the white people belong, and they them selves are not disposed to go into any thing of the kind unless the organiza tion is very similar to. those of the whites. We learn that the Executive Committee of the Independent Order of Good Templars of South Carolina have concluded to organize an order for the colored people similar to their own, and'have appointed Rev. H. M. Mood, G. W. C. T., to prepare a ritual. We are glad this step has been taken, and wish it successful fruition. Temperance organizations have ac complished a good work among the whites. It is reasonable to expect a like result amoug the colored people. Death of Wm. F. Durisoe, Esq., Sr. The last issue of the Edgefield Ad. vertisei- conveys the sad news of the death of Win. F. Durisoe, Sr.. of Edgefield. Mr. Durisoe was attend. ing the funeral of his brother-in-law, Goodwyn M. Roper, Esq., and while descending a steep and rough hill, the mule which he drove becoming unruly, the deceased was thrown from his buggy in his efforts to control him. Theb fall resulted fatally after twenty. six hours of suffering, his head having struck a rock. The Advertiser speak. ing of the deceased says: Win. F. Durisoe, Sen., owned the Edgefield Advertiser for twenty years -from 1838 until purchased by his eldest son, D. R. Durisoe, Esq., in conjunction with the late Col. Arthur Siuikins. In fact, as we have already stated, he may with much propriety be called the father of the Advertiser. *To the day of his death he loved it as a child and was honored by .it as a father. He was a sternly honest man. and an unflinching and unspotted Southern patriot. Query. The Augusta Chronicle and Ben tinel, speaking of the water spout re cently seen at Langley, S. C., says : "When first seen, the water spout was near the dam, and travelled slowly across the po'ed until it reached the railroad trestle work, a distance of a mile and a quarter from its starting point, when it disappeared, and the cloud moved majestically off, carrying with it thcusands of gallons of water which had been d-awn from the pond." Is not the commiod idea that these clouds draw up and-ecarry off water er roneous ? The Right Spirit. The following resolutions were adop. ted at a recent meeting of the colored people of Sumter. They express a sentiment which we would be glad tc see far more common among the col ored people than it is. Can the col ored republicans of Newberry see things in the light of these resolutions? If not, why not!' Whereas, we, as citizens of the Town of Sumter, ill mass meeting as sembled for the purpose of electing twelve of the most intelligent and honest ReDublicans in our midst to represent tihis precinct in the County Convention to be held on .Saturday, the 29th instant, do pass the following resolutions as expressive of our desire as to the action which our delegates shall,.take in the said County Conven tion. Resolved, That we as true Repub. licans regret beyond expression the fact that upon our heads have been brought the indignation and contempt of the National Republican party, and the country in general, by the reck. lessness of private and public charac ter, and the corruption existing among many of our public officers, both Coun ty and State. Resolved, That we do here and now denounce all our publie servants who have betrayed our confidence, and forfeited our respect as fellow-citizens, asutterly unworthy of onr future trust and support. Resolved, That we are positively opposed, as a part of the Republican party of this State, to the nomination for Governor of this State either of the following persons who have been soken of as candidates before the coming Republican State Convention. viz: .r,.n1-in . Moses, JT., Daniel To Tax Unions of the several Counties of South Carolina. 1The County Unions shall bnsist of two delegates from each Sitorai aatelUnion, with one delegate addi tional for every twenty meibers-~be. yond twenty in each Sabordinate Union. The_Subordinate Ujions are. therefore requested, without delay, to send their delegates -to their respective c6tilty U"Ions., 2. The County Unions are hereby .requested .to appoint,. wit.heut- delay, delegates to '-The Tax Union of the Stace of S<uth Carolina." 3. The Tax tiiois of ~ the State of -South Carolina is herebioivokett meet in Columbia, on Thursday, the 10th day of September next, at 12 o'clock . 4. The Coun:y Union of Richland is hereby requested to provide a suit able ball for the asseniblage of the State Union at the time and place de signated. By authority of the Tax-Payers' Convention. JAMES CHESNUT, Chairman Executive Committee. Camden, S. C., August 24, 1874. It will be observed by the above call that the State Tax Union will convene in Columbia on the 10th inst. It is of the highest importance that a full representation be present on that' occasion, as doubtless matters of com mon and vital interest will be consid ered. If there is a section in New berry County where there is Do Tax Union, let the people go to work at once and organize. There is much to encourage us in these Unions, and if every tax payer would enroll his name as a member and substaptially back his signature, there would be a change for the better in our State affairs. Brief Mentions. Japan has the largest tea crop of her history. Ninety railroad companies have sus pended payment on their bonds. California pays one million dollars a year to Scotland for wheat bags. The life of Gen. Lee, written in French, has recently been published in Paris. Thirty-three American summer re sorts have opened this. season for - the first time. The American Bible Society intend supplying all the railroad cars in the country with Bibles. The average price for wool this year has been about three cents a pound better than last year. The farmers of .England number only 400,000, and of that number only 71,000 farm more than one hundred acres. The State of Florida furnishes the cedar for every cedar lead pencil made, whether it be American or foreign made. Potatoes are now dried like apples, for use in the navy. A bushel makes about ten pounds dried. The, business is largely carried on at Buffalo, N. Y. A Kentucky exchange says: "With the beginning of the year we will re duce our business to a cash basis. Cord wood and potatoes taken for suibscrip tions." It is said that the We.st India regi ments. composed of colored troops, suf fered more from the climate in the Ashantee campaign than the English regiments. The museum of the Paris mint pos sesses a collection of eight hundred dif ferent gold and silver Chinese coins; some of them dated seventeen hundred years before the Christian era. Two firms in Richmond, Va., are under contract to supply $8,000.O0 and $6,000,000 worth of tobacco res pectively. The first contract is for France and the second for Austria. Jersey, the little island in the English channel, sent to the London markets in two months this spring $1,000.000 worth of new potatoes. This seasoni's crop of this vegetable gives for the total area of the island thirty-five dollars an acre. A-"Women's Peace Society" has re cently been formed in London which has published an offer of $100 for the best tract wrWctn bq a woman on the subject of peace. The title must be, 'In what way do wars affect women, and how they may best use their influ ence to prevent wvar." The Danhury man says: "One En glish dinner in~the inexperienced Amer ican stomach will produce that night twelve cross-eyed lions; eight bears with calico tails; eleven giants, wvith illuminated heads;* one awful dog, with twelve legs; and fourteen bow-legged ruffians, chased by a host of piratical caulitlowers, mounted on saddles of beef, roasted. Any respectable chemist will corroborate this statement." The semi-annual report of the Sav ings Banks of New York shows that the depositors have substantially recov ered from the fright or necessity which occasioned a withdrawal of their de posits during the panic of last fall. On June 30, 1873, the deposits amounted to $293,178,031, and the surplus was 821, 193.433.. On January 1, 1874, the de posits had decreased to $285,520,085, although the surplus was somewhat greater than in the preceding June. Since that time both deposits and sur plus have been increased, the account on June 30, 1874, standing--deposits, $292,728,455; excess of assets or "re serve," $23,051,258. WASHINGTON, August 22.-The fol lowing telegram has been received here to-day from Gov. Osborn, of Kansas: "I have information through the Indian Agent Stubbs. and other sources, that the Osage tribe of Indians have, at a general council, declared war against this State. Depredations have already been committed by them on our south ern border. The State has hut few arms, and the United States troops heretofore guarding the line being now in the Indian Territory, at a great dis tance from the Osage reservation, the frontier settlements of this State are exposed to great danger., With arms we can defend our borders. Can you furnish me with two thousand carbines and accoutrements, and one hundred thousand cartidges on the account of the State of Kansas?" The telegram has been referred to the war depart ment. SCIENTIFIC ScHOOL.-A number of gentlemen of Pendleton have or ganized themselves into an asiociation, for the purpose of establishing an in stitution of learning at Fort Hill, the seato the +lat a.ndl illustrious .Tohn * - rFOR TH&M-ERlALr J.ArAA, . C., -August 29th, 1874. 'F* !- (.1 NEKEZnr; - Sinci6-w e hAd_ the pleasure of addressing you 1at through the HEmi.D, we have had a severe drought, which some would call has been seriously injured. and the cot i6b isdamdei to some ext6fi* but not so direfully as some are led to imagine. -Itite- -appears to have dropped off; but however favorable the. seasoiis'ni be. the cottqn;1lays loses el! s f If we get .a good July crop, there will be little or no Augnst crop, whether there he rain or not,. unless the land is. unusually pro ductive. We must confess that we would be much disheartened were it not that we have been so often agree ably disappointed in the cotton crop. We have ieveral tiines since the war predicted "half a crop" by reason of drought in August, and when we came to finish gathering, were amazed to find that we had obtained a full crop. But we have had fine rains within the last few days, and to-day we are having one that may simply be called delicious. It will ensure us a good sweet potato crop, as well as a good stand of turnips, and the pea crop will be buoyed up too. Some time ago, Mr. Editor, we con cluded to browse around the country a little to look at the crops. We found those in our own neighborhood very good. They seemed to have been vell attended to. We believe, however, that the -Jalapa country has no bad farmers, although one man in it is accused of do ing his best.farming on the road. This individual, it is said, farms between Jalapa and the five mile post. We would not be surprised if some of his ascusers were not tainted with the same inclination. While perambulating about lately, we also visited the Beth Eden neighborhood. 'We did not go farther than Dr. Wash Glenn's place, and from there up to the "Epting farm." The crops were good. We- noticed that Maj. Kinard's was fine, very fine, in deed-on the road. We don't accuse the crop on the Epting place of being a pretentious one by any means. In fact, while looking at it, we wondered how any man could be honest and live bn such land. One thing we will affirm with confidence. The proprietor of this. place, as good a man as he is by nature, is obliged to labor under strong tempta tions. Knowing him as we do, how .ever, we have a faint hope that he will: "grunt and endure," and hold out faith fully to the end. We also traveled tipi the road that leads by Helena from! Newberry. We found the crops on this' road highly respectable generaLy. We. were particularly struck with the farriis of Mr. Fred Boozer and James Mere dith. These are the most tidily and daintily cultivated farms that we have seen anywhere. Meredith is a new man at the plow, and yet he is a model farmer. He has performed feats in the horticultural line this year that we sup pose had never been equalled in this country. His garden vegetables wvere equal in size to those of Califorma. Many recollect, no doubt, his onions, which were so fabulous in size, almost covering the area of a saucer. We ob served, Mr. Editor, in travelling up this road those same two incubuses betwveen Mr. Merchant's and the creek. The one on the right has improved somewhat. but the one on the left is-worse if possi ble. We wondered as we rode along, what ought to be done with these two desperate cases. We thought of the Penitentiary, the whipping post, and even of the gallows, but it all tiid not sat isfy us, and we camne at last to the desper ate conclusion that such farms should be.thrown into the. bottohiless pit, and their superintendents tumbled in on top with them. Nothing, Mr. Editor, wvill cure sueh a ~system of agriculture but to place sonme folks, where they will have to weep, wvail and gnash their teeth. WAYSIDE. FOR THE HERALD. An Account of the Base Ball Contest Between Ne wberry and Cokesbury. -Monday, the 24th, the first nine of the Newberry Base Ball Club took the up train to play a match game of Base Ball at Cokesbury, with the club at that place. Tbe Club arrived at Hodges Depot at 1:40 P. M., and were met by a committee of the Cokesbury Club, who invited them immediately to a splenldid dinner, after which they took the New berry boys to their respective houses in fine turn-outs, where they immediately donned their uniforms. All soon ar rived on the grounds of the Cokeshury Club. where hundreds of the citizens of the town and surrounding country had already collected to evitness the con test. The Newberi-ians lost the "toss" andl went to the bat, hut were sent out to the field after scoring several rns. The Cokesburians then took their turn at the bat and make several runs, when they also went. to. the field. Then commenced the bad play of the Newberry boys. Repeated chances for outs were given them which they did not accept, while the Cokesbury, boys did some of their best #laying. The Newberry boys were whitewashed in ning after inning, while the Cokes burians scored run after run. The game continued in this style until the end. when the score stood: Newberry, 13; Cokesbury, 44. It was the worst defeat the Newberrians had ever re ceived. Their batting was very poor, scarcely ever hitting a ball to the out field. While the in-fielding was very poor, the out-fielding was capital. The Cokesburians did most excellent batting and fielding. Many suppose, that the presence of so many people, but espe cially of the ladies, was the cause of so bad a defeat for the Newberrians-this being their first match game. The Newberians were so surprised by their bad defeat that they immediately ac cepted a challenge fov a second game on the same ground. This surprised many, since the easy victory of the Cokesburians. The second. game commnenced by the New.berrians being sent to. the bat. Then they showed the Cokesburians that they were masters of the situation. They led off beautifully, though the first man was put out 'on 'a "pop fly." The Cokesburians led off equally as well. Then commenced the Newber rians' old style of play. They had gotte used to the cromd, the cheering repeated cneerifig of t friends of the Newherry Cul,Ltthe NewherriHns were dechired the victor? tils showing iei gllantL and generous opponents t ev w ei I sed to the .sa tidall. When it is taken into consideration that the Newberrians had never plaed in presence of a crowd before; lieTt it was their second match game, and thatthey were strangers tot~i g-odis, -lis vie tory is all the more brilliant. We hear from all the Club, that never before'in'their lives' did they meet wii such hospitality and kindness. They say that the people -of-Geke9btwy-e-e the most generous, kind and hospitable people -they : have ever seeniJ Ie was a perfect feast. Both nights there was ,givea.dance,,at,.w.ich the people.viej. with each other to show the strangers favors and kindnesses. We hear that several of the Club left their hearts at the scene of their defeat and brilliant victory. - We are glad to know that our "boys" received such kind treatment at the hands of the Cokesbury people, and, can trothfully say, that when the Cokesburians come down here, we will see that they shall not complain.

EDITOR HERALD: The fishing sea son is in full bla,st with us-what with fishing on the banks, hauling, the seine. and other piscatorial amuse ments, those of our residents who are otherwise unengaged find ample em ployment for their leisure time, not oily for a.nusement's sake, but really providing for the table wholesome and seasoaable meats. and of a quality, too, to please the most fastidious tastes in epicurean matters. Oa the 27th inst., one of Mr.. Hur ley's monster pic-nics for the poor white children of the city comes off at the village. Eivery facility is prom isel to the children for amusement and recreation, affording many a pent. up little one the opportunity of en joying pure air and healthful exercise, from which they are so. much debarred by their usual surroundings. . Last week the first, for the .colored element was inauguvated. Two steam ooats were .chartered for their trans porttion, and were well crowded. It is certainly a cheiritable object, what-. ever the motive may be, and this, 'tlose who reap the benefit, have: no right to sean. The ladies of St. Andrew's C.hurch (Episcopal) on Thursday evening, gave an ~4Ent'rtaliient" at a private residence, in this village, in aid of the funds of the church, and more es pecially to assist in the repairs of the time honored Parish Church,whicb for some time past has been in a sad state of dilapidation and ruin. This building is now under the workmen's hands *and will soon once more resound with the voice of prayer and praise. It was one of the old Colonial buildings, having been origin ally founded in 1707. It- is expected that in the coming winter, the church will be opened for service, with the~ ministrations of the Rector of the parish occasionally and lay reading in the interim. The entertainment was well gotten up and carried out. Ice cream and lemonade refreshed the visitors. Fruit and sponge cakes, prepared by dainty ftigers, and dispensed w.ith smiling faces and bright eyes, were exchanged for greenbacks with a grace which added to. their flavor, far beyond what.,would have ben imparted by the manipulations of tihe best "artistes." A postoffice, occupying a corner of the larger room, administered by fair young ladies, ap eared to dispense large mails,.if we 'ay judge by the numbers of young ladies and gentlemen constantly re turning from the locality bearing mis sives with them, but this postal ser vice differed from that of the Govern ment, inasmuch as letters are prepaid there, in this they were to be paid on delivery. A very creditable and: notable fea ture of the occasion was a very prettily arranged table, on which was a hand some display of fancy work, from the nible fingers of the. "Girls Working Society," a -branch of the Church Society. ~It is surprising to see how much work is done by these young workers in a good cause, and how much money is realized by their efforts. IN THE CITY. The hot weather.is the topic, and each one you meet gives you the in teresting news, "What a very hot day," thereby intensifying the amount of caloric, you are suffering, from at the moment. It does not seem, however, to abate tile efforts of the business men in getting ready for the cam paign noiw aboat opening. AlItera - tions and improremients in the stores are here and there to be seen, and it is to be hoped a good fall business will fully reward their efforts. . .
