[From the Journal of Commerce. A Card from General Gary. I desire to notice briefly, the inuendoes, contained 'in the Char leston News and Courier of the 17th of. July instant. In this issue of his paper, it appers-hat Mr. F. W. Dawson has raised the "Black Flag" against me, on account of a communie'atioo .-f, mine to the Edgefield Ad?ed -er-of July 13th. In that article 1 said, "the Carpet bagger Chamberlain; through his organs,the Union-Herald of Colum bia and the Sews and Courier, was making an insidious attempt to convert the white people of the Stat.e ir the -Republican party." This statement, he. asserts, is "grossly unjust and whol un true." Recently, every issue of his'paper--ontains falsome adula tions of:Jhe.Carpet-bag Governor Chamberlain, or a vigorous defense of his administration. With. these facts before them, I am willing for an impartial public to judge of the truthfulness of this- assertion. 1. cheorfully accept the gauge of battle tendered by Mr. Dawson, and stand ready to meet his slanderous aftw'aks. I only hope, that should the contest wax warm that he wiW not :run up also the "White Flag". and -claim protection for his carcass.

Journal of Commerce of this day is a card from Mr. M. W. Gary, in- which he repeats his mis statements in regard to the News and Courier, adding some insolent allusions to me personally. There are public reasons, under stood.in Charleston add elsewhere, which lead me to postpone, for the present, my rejoinder to hbs charges. Meantime, if Mr.. Gary, who sets himself up as the champion of the shot-gun policy, feels any solici tude as to the likelihood of my raising the "white flag," at his coming, he should lose no time in resolving.the: doubt, unless he is content to be known throughout the State in the double character of slandsrer and braggart.

Lamar returned his thanks to Single ton, and went on to say that his speech at Aberdeen was also in favor of th~e e-erdination of races and against the smaiC4y or sbria tion of any one -aee. Ue forified his positiea on. that point by t.elegrams3 from W.-W. Tfroop and Reuben Davis, r- .En nd from Misis 'rcm the sentiments which he had ittered in that speech. He called ipon his Republican colleague (Wells) o speak as to the character of his ;peeches during the canvass. Wells, of Mississippi, said that he iad heard Mr. Lamar's speech at Holly springs, in which speech he invoked be people to throw aside prejudices of -aces; to seize the government jointly md administer it in the interest of he public welfare. Lamar, in conclusion, apologized to he House, and said that he would not iave brought the matter to its atten ion on his own account, and had only lone so- on *-account of the interests hat were struck at through him. Hale, of Maine, intimated that he ;hared somewhat- in the general sus >icion that the utterance of such senti nents as Mr. . Lamar proclaimed in he House was safer here than else Fhere, and he called his attention to he characterization of his Aberdeen. ;pecch by his friend, the editor of the Vieksburg Herald, as an eloquent [)emoratic speech., in which he de lared in manly and ringing tones, hat the contest involved the supremacy )f the unconquered and unconquerable 3axon race.

As to the gentleman's (Hale's) other suggestion, e said there was nothing in their ,haracter or relations which justified Ihat gentleman's interposition in the matter. [Applause on the Democratic aide.] The First Case of Cremation Js South Carolina. Mr. Henry Berry, whose remains were given -to th# flauies in Marion Dounty. a few days ago, was possessed Df considerable means,owaing about wenty ,thousand acres of land, and having in . bank between fifteen and twenty thousand dollars. About fif teen years ago he had occasion to take p the dead bodies of two children, and, seeing their condition, vowed then that when he died his body shuld be burned instead of buried. He accordingly made his will, dividing his property out among his children, but i4serting a proviso that his body after death should be burned, and in Oase it was not, the whole of his estate to go to a church near by, the one at whichheworshipped. Some time ago he took a member of his famnily into a~ piece of woods near the house and pointed out to him the exact place where he desired to be burned, and also the treeswhich he desired cut down arid used for, the purpose.- Last Monday he died at athe; age of eighty years, and his body waa put..in a plaim. box, (as het directed and the size of which h had given,y. ind hauled~in a cart, dawn by a mule,* jt-this place He had Srovided, that- $500 b&gfven to Win. Hureling, a mulatto, to whom he was- much attached, for superintend ing the burning. Six logs of pitch pine were put on the ground, and on these, forming two:iiers, were laid five other log. Lightwoo4:was piled about on the logs, and at the head, foot and sides of. the.box containing the body. The whole height of the fuaeral pyre was ten-or .twelve feet. Several male membesof the old1aarfaily were present, and a number4of negroes, but considering- the :Oe.asioul, the crowd wassmall. Torehes were app'lied simul taneously, and with a good deal of agitation, to the four co! ners'of the pyre, and when our informant left the scene, the f'at wood was burning and blazing and cracking. The old man: had directed that his ashes should mingle with those of the wood, and all be-blown away together. [Nw and Courier.

Mr. Caldwell's Communicatiou and Our County Convention. We publish- in.this.issue. the clear, dispassionate and patriotic communi cation of Mr. Caldwell, whose opinion deserves the greatest consideration from all those who have regard for ability and honesty-of pu-rpose. Let differences of cpinion be4l,iscussed in the spirit of this . comnniunication.and we will soon come to an understand ing.' We will briefly state wherein. we do not coincide ,with the views he expresses. It is thought injudicious that the legality of the.election made by the Convention lately assembled be discussed.' We distinctly stated that we did not wish to have the action- of ~that body undone, and did not, desiire to have. its legality7ggestioned. It. was done for the sole purpose of pre venting that body, thus 'constgtated,to meet again and nominate County offi ers and members of the-Legislature;i and we must insist.that the discussion on that account was tim~ely and properg We~ contend that the Convention did not represent the peoplet of-the Coginty either legally or as a .inatter of fact and that although it would. be incony venient to have its action .revoked,.it ~should not nominate County officera. and members of the Legislature. That the .Executive Committee called.the Convention for the sole purpose of dis solving it is evidenced by the motion of their spokesman, Col. Keitt, to ad journ sine die ;how the clubs could iner from the simple notice of the Secretary of the Executive Committee to assemable that the Conventioni was called~ for the purpose of nominating delegates we cannot- conceive. The eretary knowing the intentida of the Comiittee di<f oertainly not desire 'to conve,y that meaning, nor could the Eecutive Commsitee have sent's pri vate call to the Township Clubs c66n trary to theii-recommendation made at the County meeting. As amatterof fact we may state that it was nd'erstood by many, at least in town, that the Ex eutive Cominittee would recommend te adjourdment of the Convention, and it was taken f6r granted that.Their recommendation would be adopted.. If it be thought advisable that the nomi nations be confirmed by the Township Clubs so that the delegates may safely enter the Columibia Convention let it be done; of the legal bearing~ of such action no orie is more able.to give an opinion than our correspondent. But now we come~ to ifie main point and upon it we shall sj'eak very plainly. Every one who, under4-he emocratie organization, desires reform, should have a voice in the nomination of the County offieers and members of the Legislature. The clubs are mere ad junts to the party; they form a nu les; they through their Executive Committees extend the calls for meet ings ; they are the servants, the will ing servants of the party, but not its masters. Every one who is expected to vote the Democratie ticket should have a voice in forming it. ' No taxa io without representation, no nomi nation without representa4jon of th98? who are expected to support it. In ii t . - -- - tive Committee extend a cal to aU those who under the banne~r of the Democratic party desire reform to gather in Township meetings and elect delegates to -a-County Convention, which Convention is to nominate County officers and members to the Legislature. It is too late now to dis cuss the question of primary elections; there are. many weighty objections to it, and although, in our opinion, right in principle, it may not be expedient; it is, at least, not expedient at this time. That we fully endorse the admnid tion given to have peace and harmony amongst ourselves need not be stated; but for the purpose of obtaining such harmony it -may -be neeessary that concessions be made by both sides Garrison at Laurens. It seems to be determined upon by somebody that garrisons be placed in certain Court Houses of the up-coun try; the Union-Herald adtisea4hat UetiIment of troops be sent to Lau rens; we have, heard that- the sugges tion will be carried into execution. Odr neighbors of. Laurens seem to be nearer neighbors, to us than those of any other adjoining County, as we have had more immediate intercourse with them. We do not love our- other neighbors less, but still our heart more rapidly impels us to leap to the de fence of our Laurens neighbors when danger threatens or calumny assails. The military must be.stationed some where; under ordinary circumstAnces there is no objection to a garrison any. where, even at Laurens; the oEees of the U. S. army are gentlemen by birth, education and force of esprit de corps; and are treated as such wher ever they may be stationed;. they sim ply perform their duty. But-te come to the point at one-to send at this time a garrison to a County where troops have not been regularly sta tioned, is a declaration that such Coun ty is not to be trusted with the man agement of the election, that intimida. tion will be used to secure the ballot box and that the white citizens, of- such County afe.not willing to see that a fair and undisturbed election be had. Has Laurens deservedsuch treatment. Since. the -murder of Joseph Crews the County has been as quiet as the grave. We have,bheard of conspiracies comprising hundresls of the best citi zens of -the County to murder that restless leader. Those conspiracies e isted only.iu'he.imagination of the Union-Herald. Nut a garrison in its :ofic to keep tiefN~or's fancies from esoasnda- the7Lurens 'rebellios that- it wilr e finally shown thai the DeinerWo Xaaurens 'Countj had. no hand. in ~tha muiMer ol hrangues and no whiskey can revivA thlis aurens Republicau party.

Neighbors of. -Laurens de know that the sympathies lof .ow people are with your in your struggle. People who are trained ,in the soboo of adversity must bave learnt self-con trol; we k,now you will exercise i~ and the victory will be yours. - Political Temiserancee - We had intended to write a hot article on* the art ofkeeping cool; Jat withsthe heatod term the-inflam matory character of' publie speechl seems to have- been reduced with out the application of our edito rial freezing 1nitae. A fall of ten degrees in theitnbe of the thermoine ter has bhrought about a feeling of coo parative omfort; and if it were not for the buzz of a few troublesome musquitos, we could after a day of pleasant labor, enjoy a night of undis turbed rest. To -'drop metaphor.,-w are 'glad to 'perceive'that much of the bitterness which'bad of late been ap. parent in the;papers and in semi-pub lic utterances- on the street corners has vanished. 'We seem 'to have come to the~eonclusion without announce ment and by talmost unconseions con sent, 'that' friends who are one at heart should not abuse each other for.triflin~ differences. Conviction,we have found; is in the inverse ratio to denunciation. Where there are so many points of agr eent, it isperverseness to tun st'aeli~ other the only point of disa greement; ) ut the "imp of perverse ness" is indeed more difcient to be sub dued than Beelzebub, the' prince of devils. The food upon which he most thrives is politics; he may keep his flesh on religion, but he grows corpu-. lent on politics. We must, however, strive to keep hin1 reduced; with every new victim his appctite and his ferocity* increases, until he has passed us all through his never- tiring jaws. We perceivethat we have headed this argglIe "Political Temperance" and we haye onlgn yi egpressed our sen ~;rn~n~Q in duffAr~nt fl~ures. Ut iR ton Editorial 19eview.

E]rroRa Allor are apace in your columns for the purpose of -et ~resingJbiriefly, some-views upon the eent action of the County Conven toe; and also .aupon- the question of nominating candidates for County of fies. I have, from the first,been. :ofthe opnion that. the County Convention, costituted as it has: been,. was called for the sole purpose of electing, dele gates to the State Convention -held-.ou the 4th of May last, and that its ex istene~should have terminated upon such election ofedelegates-; and.I: ad !ocaed that view at our ieeting: on the 17th of April., But it appears to m-gith all respect .for your .edito ril of last week-that it is injudicious to canvass now the regularity of the ation of the County Convention in holding itsejlfg at our last meeting, a permanent. erganistionn aud in elect ing delegates to the.State Convention set for the 15th of this month. I have no doubt that the majority in the Coyenton wereentirely sincere in the course they pursued;y and I have lit tle doubt that they ,aeted as they did with the implied consent of their re spective clubs, for surely, after the question of the permanency of the Couny Cneetio-had been as freely and publicly discussed as it had been, it was to be presumed that a club was in favor ofte.oniune a off#ee af its delegates and th~e continuance in power of the Convention, if It failed to express any opinion adverse to that idea. If any club had been dismeclin ed to allow itself to be represented by the deleghtes sent by it to the former netings of the Coqveion, it could have made such ohanges as it saw fit, as was done in at least two of the town ship clubs. Every club was invited to send its delegates to the Conven tion, ~and I believe that every' club held, or attempte4 9c hgld a meeting, ins. befor te meatin of the onvan take it that, although Mr. oormian 'i advertisement, did not state tbe object of the meeting, it was well known that the meeting was called for the -especial purpose of electing delegates to the State Nomin-aing Convention to meet on the 15th of August. Viewed as a question of practica) interest, it appears to me that the ac tion of the Convention is still less lia ble 'Wcensure. The delegates elected .by it to the--State Convention wer< fairly elected, it is admitted ; tbej ate men who .represent the differen -sections.an44heitreat.1aterests f the County; *they are good men Ad true. Indeed, it would be difficft to improve upon the selectio 'made. Therefore let us be contevt to stand by so much of, the action O' the Con vention ; and if the peopk of the par. ty- are not satisfied to bare the Con vention remain a permanency, let them so declare, and takf such course as will effectuate their purpose. And I sugow sgest that the clubs do several ly ratify the election of delegates made by the Convention) and that they vote upon the questionwhether the County Convention as now organized be dis. solved or whether it continue to exer. cise authority as the capital and con. joli gorgaiK.stion of the party. let us.not stffer our6*es to be separated by differences of opiog as to the de. tails of our organiation d mode 'o operation ; biit us come a quicklq as possible o an understandifg an an agreement, so that we may dryott our undivided efferts to the mom eut struggle before us. .. As regards the manner of making nominations for County offices, I shall not undertake any argument here. M own preference.. is for.a special Con vention of delegates from ll the town ships, elected for thd single purpos onaking nominations. This appeari to we the simplest and the most con venient methd, -and quite as fair a one as any other is likeTy to be. I have yet.to learn the advantage of th( primary election s6heme.
