Several communications bave been received by this committee from dif ferent quarters of this State asking that, at an early date, a day be fixed, and that all citizens be invited to dedicate that day' to fasting, humnilia tion and prayer. The committee has no official authority to make such a call, and feels that sader ordinary cir esumstances its' propriety as relating to the triu.mph of a party in a political contes't might be questioned. But the present is no party contest, nor do we strive for personal gain or office or honor. Either we are laboring for the moral and material advantage of the whole people or our protestations are all .false. This being our firm conviction, we venture te bring our case before the Tribunal of Almighty Justice and invoke divine aid' in behalf of our afBlicted State and its people ; there fore, our--fellow-eitizens are earnestly and respectfully invited to set apart Thursday, the 26th day of the present -month, as a day of fasting, humilia tion and prayer. It is requested that all places of business be closed and labor suspended, that all may assemble at -the several places of divine worship; 'and the ministers of the gospel are solicited to open the churches for service on that day and lead us in the prayer unto Almighty God that jus. tice, peace and prosperity, mercy and truth, with fellowship and good feel ing to all men may come back and prevail amoung our long suffering and much disturbed people.

According to the "list of appoint tents for Republican meetings," pub shed in the Union-Herald, there 'ill be a mass meeting at Newberry, Ictober 16th, next Monday. The Union-Herald says, "Negotia ons are pending for joint discussions ith the Democratic candidates." We hope to see a gi and turn out ud display. As the weather is get ing cool, we advise the Democrats to rear flannel on that day-red flannel i the best ; and the best way to wear is over the vest--outside.

The Steuben (Ohio) Gazette says hat Hayes lately used the tollowing lan uage to W. C. Gaston, Esq., of that ity. He spoke under the impression -hat Mr. Gaston was a Republican: 'On the question of finance, the re iumption act, and the necessity of re orm, we will be badly beaten. We must wave the 'bloody shirt' and re ive the bitter prejudices of the war." At the end of the conversation. Mr. aston said: "You have no doubt Af the result, Governor ?" To which he answered: "I do not like to speak dogmatically on that question. The Germans of Ohio are treating us very badly." For myself I do not know of any thing which would make me doubt fl in any .part of the State of enjoying the same security which I feel attaches to me undor my own roof.-F. J. .Moses. The "Proclamnation" Has Sounded?! His Excellency declares that the Rifle Clubs are illegal. He will say. next that Democratic Clubs are ille gal, and any attempt to elect Demo crats to office is illegal. How this proclamation will be regarded we have no means of knowing. This we do know, however, that the men compos ing the Rifle Clubs are not going to throw away their own arms, nor hand them over to a:ly of Chamberlain's emissares, and that they will always know how and where to get together, to protect themselves and their friends, when the occasion calls. Wisdom, Firmness, Discretion-these are the watchwords of the Democracy. Let Chamberlain fulminate to his heart's content. I trust tho day is far distant when violations of the peace in our own borders wil lequire-thein terference of any arm more potent than.that of the law.-F.J. Moses. Is Hayes a Hypocrite ? In his letter of acceptance Gover nor Hayes was full of the kindliest sentiments towards the people of the South, and promised them that if he were elected,- he would make it his especial study to guard and protect their interests. Yet Governor Hayes approves of the employment of this infidel Ingersoll, who goes roaring about the country "despising and de fying God," cursing and reviling the South, cursing and abusing Southern ers, and fairly exploding for want of words to express all the hatred and malice he feels towards the men who are again united with us in the bonds of the Union. This man, who has about as much conscience as a bellows, and as powerful a command of Bil lingsgate as a fishwife, spoke only a day or two ago, at Gov. Hayes' own home, to an immense throng. Gov. Hayes doubtless listened himself to his blackguard abuse of the South and the Southern people. What with his telegrams of affectionate congratula tion to Blaine; his letters to Grant, which he has not the courage publicly to avow ; his intimacy with Chandler, and his toleration and encouragement of this man Ingersoll, the people are beginning to believe that they have been right, who have insisted from the first that the election of Hayes w~as the re-election of Grant, and an en dorsement of all the corruption and sectional hate of that Administration Gov. Hyes lmay notthe a hypocrite, but the people of the South can hard ly be expected to believe him any thing eLe. t The-State Fair. Special attention is called to the ar. tiele below copied from the Rural Carolinian, in reference to the State Fair. All our people should give this noble enterprise their strong support, moral and material-by their presence, if possible. and by sending contribu tions for exhibition. From the char acter of the board of officers, we coufi dently expect an exposition that will please the most fastidious f all disp,. sitions and tastes: We are frequently asked, will there 6e a State Fair tis winter? We take pleasure in giving an affirmative answe- to the enquiry, and urge upon all- out readers to remember, that on the 14th November next, the State Fair- will open in Columbia, and we antici pa te not only a large contribution of articles, but a wonderful turn out of the people. It will Le Lue frst demonstration after the dis enthralment that takes place on the 7th No vember, and will be a fit time for the mani festation of joy we have in store for such an occasion. Our farmers and mechanics should remem ber, too, tat contributions to a Fair are worthless unless there aFe people in attend ance to see the articles. If a thousand peo ple each send one article to exhibit, and all stay at home, they contribute but little to the success of the Fair. But if half that num ber each send one article, and double that number go to see them, the Fair is pro nounced a success. The expense of attending the Fair often prevents our people from filling Columbia to over.lowing during Fair week. Increased hotel accommodation, and cheaper railroad travel, (say three cents a mile for the round trip) will throw into Columbia thousands who will not otherwise attend, and pour into the coffers of our railroads more net money than is received any oLuer week during the year. Will not the President of -oe Society, and the citizeas of Columbia effect and ad vertise arrangements to this end? We hope so. What does the New York Berald say? "If we were asked by a South Carolina colored man how he should vote, we should tell him, " ote for Gen. Hampton !" Chamberlain and Elliott. Gov. Chamberlain, in that "cam paign document," alias reply to Mr. Haskell, compares the reconciliation between himself and Elliott to that between Tilden and Hendricks. That's too thin. The difference between the latter was merely upon a matter of policy; between the former on a mat ter of principle. Tilden was a hard money man, and Hendricks an infla tionist. Chamberlain is guilty of .fraud and corrnption, and so is Elliott, according to the testimony of each. Wh-shouldn't they reconcile ? Combahee. Gov. Chamberlain, what about the Combahee riots ? Your beloved sub jects would like to know something about that. No doubt you forgot to mention the subject in that "campaign document." Who were the "authors" of that "lawlessness" and "disturb ance ?" And why were they allowed to continue so long unchecked ? Who were the "kites" and the "doves?" Who were the "wolves" and the "lambs" in that disturbance ? I solemnly protest against the proclamation of Governor Chamn brlain as absolutely false in so far as it imputes t.o the inhbabitan ts within the limits of this circuit any purpose to obstruct the ordi nary course of judicial proceed ings or to resist in any maniner the due execution of the laws for the protection of life, property or the rights of citizenship, and I have good and sufficient reasons to believe and do believe that the said proclamation is equally false in imputing such insurrectionary purposes to the white population in the other circuits of this State. --T. J. Mackey. The meeting at Williamiston on last Friday week, of which our fair corres pondent "Maggie" gives a graphic description, was a grand affair indeed. Four thousand people present, of whom fifteen hundred were mounted, while there were one hundred and fifty colored men in the procession. What does this all mean ? Is it an idle show ? Not by any means. It plainly shows that the people of South Carolina are stirred to the deepest depths, and that a great revolution is near at hand. " In the presence of the people of South Carolina, and in the presence ;of my God, I pledge myself that if Ielected I shall know no party; no race, no color or condition in the ad ministration of the laws. I shall be Governor of the entire people of South Carolina."- Wade Hampton. I must say tbat the causes al leged for the same do not apply to the Eighth Circuit, over which I preside. Nor do I believe they have any existence as to any other portion of the State. ([Thompson R. Cooke. "WVe agaiu advise the peaceable colored people of the State to vote for Gen.

A Cambridge, Mass., girl kept the company waiting for the wedding till she made the groom sign a written agreement to take her to the Centen nial. The Methodist Female College con menced its fall and winter term on the 4th. The prospects of the institu tion are bright, a large number of pupils having already entered. No wonder it begins to look dark to the Ohio Republicans. It is assert ed that a colored Democratic club in Columbus, Ohio, the present home of Governor Hayes, numbers one hua dred and seventy-five members. Capt. A. A. Gilbert, the late editor of the Sumter Watchman, says that the true policy of the State has been decisively changed by the character of the men on the Chamberlain ticket, and he will support Hampton and his entire ticket. A notice has been posted at Belton warning colored Democrats, some of whom were named, not to join any more processions, threatening to flog them or drive them out of the coun try, and giving them three weeks to leave. In the Democratic club at Gadsden, numbering ninety-two men, twenty one are colored, and other colored men have declared their intention of join ing at the next meeting.

Three hundred cavalrymen met him with an elegant carriage and escor'ted him to the county seat. Hurrah for the old republic ! FoE THE HERALD. The DgoeraCY at Wiliamston. ME. GRENEKER :-The monotony of our quiet village life was most agree ably broken on Friday last by a grand Democratic meeting, or in the words of the brave and distinguished Col. Coth ran, a Political love feast, which for numbers, fine appearance, gallantry and enthusiasm-Veteran campaigners. say -was unsurpassed. The meeting was held in the beautiful grove which sur rounds the Williamstoni Mineral Spring, and a living sea of heads met the eye on every hand. The speaker's stand was tastefully decorated and the banners of every company present draped their graceful folds from its top. The day itself was lovely, one of those grand Septem ber days with mellowed sunlight and drifting clouds. When the venerable minister, Rev. T L. Kennedy, arose to invoke the b,nison of high Heaven on that vast assembly, and on the great and glorious cause of Democracy, methoughtseraphic choristers swept the golden harps of heaven, while angels spread their glit tering wings in holy benediction. The people were then addressed by Col. Coth ran, Wilkes, Piekens, Murray,Brownl and Moore, and deafening cries of Hamp ton! Hampton! State ticket and Reform! rent the air, while rousing cheers re sponed andl( the band gave .forth in triLuhant strains its soul-stirrimg mu sic. The speeches were delivered in their own respective styles, each pecu liar to the man, and all marked by force, earnestness and( the irresistible elo quence of true nobility, after which two campaign songs were rendered in fine style with happy effect. Pen is inadequate to express the mn tense pleasure wvith which we listened to these~emninent politicians, and though it is not our province to don sabre or spur, let our hearts go up in prayer for these brave mon wvho are toiling 'mid deep waters to anchor tbe boat they love so well. May God grant them the priceless guerdon for which they long have struggled1. Southern heads and Southern arms should rule our Southern land.

C., October 3, 1876. HE APPROACHING STATE ELECTIONS. Reliable advices from Ohio, Indi na and West Virginia assure us a omplete triumph in each of these tates. 31r. Tilden's opposition to he war has been wade the most of by be Republicans. But it avails them othing. The war is over. And it s remembered that there was a clean ut and honest difference of opinion, i over Christendom, as to the right r wrong of the late rebellion. Mr. ilden. with many other distinguished uen of our own aua other countries, eaoed taward the South, during the ontest ; but he was none the less an uierican. Aud now, that section i:turally gives him its united support. Ft goes solid for him. There has >een a disposition among the timid 'riends of Mr. Tilden to deny that he vas opposed to the war. But Mr. Cilden, himself, has never sanctioned ch a denial. He stands now where ic stood from 1861 to 1865-opposed o a war for coercing the dissatisfied States of the Union to remain in it. Ir. Tilden is still a good, old-fash oned, States-right Democrat of the John C. Calhoun stripe'; and the Presidency can not tempt him to for wear his faith. And that is why the people like him. That is why they will vote for him. He refuses all im portunities to make him say that the avasion of the South was justifiable; because he believes it was not justifi ible. WEST VIRGINIA. From this State, which holds its election the same .day as Ohio, Indi na, Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado, n Tuesday of next week, we have 3heerful assurances in Washington' of the success of the Democratic ticket. Both parties, however, claim the State, and hava their best speakers in the field. But as West Virginia has a Democratic majority of several thou ands, and, as the independent voters are not numerous in the State, it is not easy to see upon what grounds the Republicans can think to succeed -or even to come near it. THE 4 GERMAN VOTE." Our naturalized fellow-citizens of Tuetonic birth ought to be " mildly but firmly " reminded of the, " not to put too fine a point upon it," discour tesy and impolicy of the course that hs been pursued by many of their papers and their representative men, for some years; markedly and in creasingly since the close of the Fran co-German war. They are everlast ingly prating to American citizens of the "German vote," "what the Ger mans will do" under such and such circmstances, &c. Now, however courteous an American, of whatever political complexion, may deem it prudent to be, for the time being, he always feels outraged when reading or listening to these quiet miatt'er-of course insults to his country, its in stitutions, and its citizens, including himself. The American-born citizen never wants to hear the "German vote" or the "Irish vote" referred to as an element in politics. Foreign born citizens are exceedingly indig nant at the mere mention of an Anier i.an party, and are prolific in reasons why such a party should be frowned down in th)e United States; yet, in the very same issue of a German or Irish paper which devotes a column or more to assailing a man charged with "Know-Nothing" antecedents, you will find a half a dozen paragraphs calling upon Germans or Irish men to cast their votes, as such, for this or that man or measure. These remarks apply, measurably, to naturalized cit izens of whatever birth, and to the papers printed in their respective Ian. guages, and are written in a spirit of kindness. We should be all Ameri cans in this country, and should. ap. peal to each other as such, and not as Germans, Irish men, Englishmen, Ne. groes or Israelites. And each of us, native and foreign-born, should vote on his individual convictions, and not as one of the constituent .elements .of a flock, a herd, or a manageable mob. The German-Americans should re member that naturalized citizens of Irish birth were largely responsible, by their clannishness, for the Know Nothing movement of hy-gone years which is so much decried now a-days.
