Brief Mentionu. There are thirty-seven Northern families residing at Aiken. Governor Sc-ott has sold his farm to the Columbia Schutzen Club. The Columbia ice machine turns out 7,000 pounds of ice every twenty fours houis. "Hb doth the little busy bee im prove each shining hour." The hon ey crop* of the United States is esti mated at $8,800,000. The United States Treasury will sell $1,000,000 of gold on the first and second Thursday, and 8500,000 on the third and fourth Thursday in Sep tember. -Total $3,000,000.

There are now ninety-eight Protes tant churches in Mexico. Five years ago there were but fire. The mission aries of the various denominations are preparing to supply the people with re ligious literature, and -to establish ,arish schools for the educatiou of the young. PROGRESS.-In 1860, population of Charlotte was but 3,000, in 1869, it had increased to 6,800 and to-day it reaches considerably over 12,000, nearly doubling in four years. We believe there is no city in the South, which can boast of the same ratio of increase.-Charlotte Observer. A Catholic paper says that in 1791 there were in the United States but one bishop, twenty priests, about twen ty churches, and a Catholic population numbering one hundred thousand. To-day there are several archbishops, fifty-niue bishops, about five thousand priests and six thousand churches, while the Catholic population numbers ten millions. The Zion Colored church, Charles ton, S. C., have resolved to enter the plan of the Southern General Assem bly for a separate colored organization. This is the church of which the Rev. Dr. Girardeau, moderator of the South ern General, is pastor. The action of the church makes it necessary for them to secure a colored pastor, and separation from their old pastor, un der whom the chureh has grown to great importance and usefulness, is looked forward to with regret. A report of the census taken in Scot1.; in 1871 has been issued. Of the 3,360,018, which is the total population of Scotland, it appears that 1,468,585 followed occupations of some kind. The professional class during the same period has increased by 31,763, its total nuwberbeing 114. 694. In the agricultural class, how ever, there was the marked decline of 102,289, the total number now being 270,008, instead of 372,000 as in 1861. This fact, says the report, ful ly bears out the conclusion we arrived at, that the prosperity of our coun try is every year becoming more and miore dependent on the prosperity of our commercial, manufacturing and wining industries." Five years a go there were only about six Protestant Churches in Nexico. Now there are ninety-eight. A paper published in the city of Nexico says those who can remember when foreigners were pelted with stones if they neglected to remove their hats while a Catholic procession passed, "cannot but fully appreciate the wondrous chanue that has heen eifected in 3Mexico within the past de ende. The diffieult and delicate la hors c-f the Christian missionaries in Mexico have been thus far crowned with success. In this city alone there are some five Protestant Churches, largely arid regularly attended, and it is truly surprising to see the large number of converts that have been gained over from the ranks of the Roman Catholics." The gross value of the trade of Char ton for the past yeair is between eighty and ninety million dollars, against seventy million dollars in 1872-73, and, as so much has been accomplish ed in a year signalized by a disastrous :xoney panc, it is reasonable to sup pose that next year will show an eve:2 larger increase. And it must be borne in mind that, while Charleston has natural advantages unequalled by those of any other South Atlantic port, she holds an exceptionally stronig po.sition in this, that she does riot re ly for her prosperity on any single article of commirerce, but builds the fabric of her fortuue upon the broad foundation of a varied trade, and a multiform business. In addition to her trade in cotton, in lice, in naval stores and lumber, and in fruits and vegetables, she has the manufacture and export of her native fertilizers, and a jobbing trade growing heavier every year. Upon these several points she stands. Nor should it be forgotten that her steamboat accommodation is better than ever before,that her railroads stretch out their arms to the populous West, and that there is reason to hope that, ere long, the Blue Ridge will be pierced or passed over, and the last barrier between Charleston and the Northwest be finally removed. (Newes & Courier. In 1855-66, Charleston received only 111,714 bales of cotton. The annual increase was regular, with two exc-eptions, up to 1872-73, when the receipts amounted to :386,128 bales. This year the recceipts are 437,035 bales; and (leaving e"t Norfolk, whiecb is a mere way station, and Galveston, as a new port, occupies an exceptional position,) Charleston is the only cot ton port which rceired more cotton in 1873-74 than in any prccdiny year since the close of the wcar. Sa vannah lost 75,000 bales, Mobile lost 130,000 bales, New Orleans lost 240. (100 bales, and Charleston gains 50, o00 bales. In 1865-66, Charleston reeived only 5 per cent. of the entire crop. but in the year just closed the receipts were 10.6 per cent. (Kew &f Cour'cr. NEw PAPER.-W~e learn that Mr. Chas. H.

During the present year there have been seven State elections, and out of s those seven, six have resulted in favor t of the Democracy. In New Hamp sti-e the Governor elected was a Dem ocrat and the Legislature Democratic. In Connecticut the Governor and z Legislature were Democratic, and the e United State Senator, a Democrat.- S In Oregon, the Governor, State officer,5 and Congressmen elect were Demo crats. In North Carolina the Demo cratie party elected seven out of eight I Congressmen, and a majority of the Legislature and State officers. Ten nessee went largely in favor of Democ racy, and the Kentucky elections re- c sulted in similar victories. Rhode f Island went Republican. The Republican State Conven tion. The State Nominating Corvention of the Republican party of South Caroliua, pursuant to the call of the President, Robert B. Elliott, met at Columbia yedtesday for the purpose of nominating candidates for the offices of Governor and Lieutenant-Governor. The Republicans of Newberry are represented in that Convention by 1. f C. Corwin, Cassey David and IIenry e Gillan. We are unable as yet, of 1 course, to report results. Those among that party who have been so - loudly callhng fur refoim, now have an opportunity to demionstrate the honesty of their professions by effecting the nomination of good and capable men. But opportunities are not worth a fig when the will to take advantage of thenm is wanting; so we are prepared not to be surprised ifsomieof the ring regime rascals arc the successful nominees.~ Some doubtless will go for Moses; some for Chamberlain, and a very fewt on an independent line. Chamberlain,a however, jndging from the indications,t has the best chances. South Carolinad Republicanisrm is in a sorry plight when it cana find to better meu than Moses or Chamberlain or to represent it. We shall see. In the neantimne, 5 let the Conservatives be buckling on the armor for a spirited fight forc honest and economical government. 1 Has Not the Time for Action Come?t 1t surely has. If ever there was ti need in a State for the combined and persistent efforts of her subjects toa effect the restoration of good govern-a ment and prosperity, long sinace de. r parted, it is naow. As a people we have been resting on our cars too long. Wrapped up in our pride and preju dice, we have let the stream bear us on breaker-s, and now are bitterly corn plaining of our condition, and yet are making no struggle to extricate the I boat. It seems to us a strange condition of things, when sixty thousand South Carolinians, who posses!. the wealth and intelligence of the State. can doa nothing for themselves anid their State. What is the nmatter ? Why it is no thing more nor less than the do-no thing policy, that is weakening our muscles and drugging us into a sleep, like the sleep of death, from which, if we wake at all,.it will be but to behold around us irremediless ruin-a policy, the offspring of a senseless pride, andt the sickly child of an unaccountable hope which trusts that things will( right themselves because the cause is just. '-We have beena lying sopinely upon our backs, hugging the delusive phiantom of hope until our enemies have bound us hand and foot." Away with such delusions, and arise to the truth that in action alone lies our remedy and our victory. Hercules did not help the man out of the mud until he put his own shoulder to the wheel;- nor will the strong man of Truth 'ever lift us fro.m the mire of IError, until the lovers of truth pro e laim it from the house tops, and back their words with persistent work. What are we to do ? The answer is so simple, so self-evident, so plainly deducible from the condition of thingrs. that we wonder it has not been carried out long ago. 'Accept the situation" sincerely and open-handedly, with head and eyes up. Show that the accept ance is sincere by framing a platform of principles upon which the negroes of South Carolina can stand as well as the white people. Give the negroes half the iaominations, and then let! every patriot, who can say a word fitly. Istump the State and proclaim their platform. If this plan is adopted, the 1 -Ii estoration of our State to more than er old prosperity will he an easy ossibility. We repeat what we have before said a these columns, that a good lal overainent is worth more to us than he triumph of the old pet notions th.at rere buri;d in the blood of the late ar. Good government at home is he great disideratum, and to secure it, t whatever sacrifice, save inte-gritv. hould be the resolve of every patriot. uch a platform as we advvcate in I)vVS no more conpromLise to us thmn hat which we have already. nore than ee, cominitted ourselves to. Every aanu who voted for Carpenter and xreeley did nothing inore nor less han what we ask him to try again oil is own soil and under his own ban ers. After ll, there is not so much lifference between dewocracy and re )ublicauisni, as they now stand. as >eople imagine. Let the thinkers of Newhierry lounty speak out on the subject. We vill give thcm room in the HFRALD. Vhat we have said we believeindie%tts he proper course, and therefore we ay it, without fear or hesitation. Genera: Kershaw in a recent letter, vhich we published some time ago. trikes the nail just where we wanted o hit it. Says he : "The restoration of an honest, econo ical and coniptent governiment to .uth Car6lina, at this juncture, I con ider the paranmount duty of her citi ens. Such means and such sacrifices. onsistest with honor, must be re orted to as may be found necessary. Practicable and expedi'nt to acconi dlish that end. With us it is no lon :er a question of Republicanism and )emocracy. The struggle is for an onest gvvernment under which we an live and prosper. In comparison vith that, party distinctions should ,o to nothing. Seeking no political riumph. bat simply the substitution f an honest responsible government or the horde of plunderers who have 'obbed and degraded the State, and brown her back at least twenty years a the march of improvement., we are ntitled to the sympathy and support f every right thinking man whatever >e his political opinion." Editorial Correspondence. SPAirrANDURG, S. C., Aug. 28, 1674. DEARt READER-Pleasantly situated n the old Palmetto House, excellently ,ept by your old acquaintance and i'iend of former days, Mr. S. B.
