ammpton at Rocmk-ord. -inoi%. Gov. Hawpton's address before the Winnebago Agricuitural Society, the 13th, has added greatly to his national reputation. The Northern papers speak of i' and him in the highest terms of praise, as will be seen by the following extracts taken as samples: F_om the Chieno Tribu'inC. ',p. When a typical Sonthron like Gen. Wade Hla'nnton goes into an old hor bed of Abolitionists like Rockford, received with open arms by the peopI', and responds to their reception 1 words made eloqueut by the evident sincerity of the speaker, it looks :s thou&h reconciliation was almost an ae complished fact. We are not disposed to gush, nor to regard all the perpiex ing proble:ns growing out of the war and reconstruction as definitel and satisfaetorily settled; but we find i' the event to which we refer the pro mise and evidence of good feelii: which warrants a confidence that all these questions will be settled, ani that there will be the peaceful and fraternal relations between the peoplo of the North and South which are necessary to the political welfare ani conmercial prosperity of the whol country. We Certainly approve of Gen. Hamoton's Rockford address, not merely as a brilliant piece of oratory, but as being well considered, in good taste, and the right temper. Though it was an address before the County Agricultural Society, on the occasion of an agricultural fair, the public ap pearance of Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, before an assemblage of Illi nois people merely to talk about agri cultural matters would have been a disappointment. Something else was expected of him, and he knew it. Many others, nearer home, could have talked entertainingly and, perhaps, in structively about farm topics, but there was none other in a position to speak with more authority, or more fairly to represent the Southern people, in dis cussing the relations between the North and the South. No impartial person who has read his address can deny that he walked over this dangerous ground in a manly fashion. His ad dress was nowhere tinged with parti sanship, nor did he show the slightest rancor either a.s against his former enemies on the battle-ield nor the later enemies who helped to plunder his State after the war. In grasping the hand of fellowship that was extended to him, there was a manly assertion of self-respect in justifying the sincerity of the motives which actuated him and others like him in the war of the Rebellion, while conceding equal purity of purpose to those who were opposed to him. The spirit and tone of his address recall a remark recently made by Gen. Joe Hawley, who said, "I find no trouble in getting along with Confederate soldiers," and added, "when we find men who live up to their ideas of honor and right, we shouldn't expect them to'get down on their knees nor ask them to take back any thing." There can be little doubt that men like Wade Hampton in the South have developed a stronger sentiment of na tionalty than ever existed in that sec tion before the war, and that their struggle of late years has been for local self-government against carpet-baggers who had plundered them, and not against the Union, the Constitution or its amendments. [From the Chicago Times.] Governor Hampton's address was, throughout, a political address, in the best meaning of the word. It was in the nature of an appeal from the South to the North on behalf of po litical fraternity and national fellow ship. It was an earnest and eloquent appeal on behalf of the Southern people of the sincerity of their acquiescence in the existing political order, and of their desire to shake hands with the Northern people in token of political reconciliation upon a mutual under standing that what is past shall only be recalled as a light for our wiser guidance in meeting what is to come. Its key note was the declaration of the speaker that "the chief thing'I had in view in coming here was to promote a bet ter understanding between the people of the North and the people of the South." As one of the most con vincing manifestations of a sincere desire among the Southern people for peace and reconciliation under the new nolitical order of things. -Gov ernor Hampton alluded to the attitude of the Southern representatives in the exciting presidency contest last winter. That Mr. Hayes was made President by "the Souh,"-by the "people late ly in rebellion"~-by the representative "Confederate brigadie-rs," who have been represented so assiduously at the North as only waiting for an oppor tunity to engage in another rebellion, is a fact beyond any ground of dis pute. Had it not been for the course rbursued by the "Confederate briga diiers," without one exception, in de termining the Presidency coutest, Mr. Hayes would never have occupied the Executive station. Mr. H-ayes has shewn his consciousness of this fact in the course of his government to ward the South. H is Southern policy was its natural fruit. And the good fruit which that policy has borne and is bearing in bringing about a better understanding and a more fraternal feeling between the people of the two formerly hostile sections, surpasses any which there is a reasonable ground for saying could possibly have resulted haid Mr. Tilden been placed in the Presidential officC. For all which the cutyhas tothank. not Hayes u the --Cnfederate brigadiers." We desired to publish the address tL is week, but the confusion incident to moving into our new offie prevent ed it. it will apear hereafter.

General Butler Speaks Out in Answer to the Sun's Correspondent. The foiiowiur letter. oublished in the Columbia 'Rei..ter, will explain itself : EIEL, S. C. September 18, 877. Catcain Ja,nes S. L1pscomiib, (iiap pel%'s J)epot, S. C. M1 DE%a SIR: Your letter of the 10th instant was received last night on iy return from Aiken court. You enclose a letter of September 2, from Charleston to the New York Srn, written, I presume, by the cer respondent of that paper from Chailes tou. in which it is made to appear that [ advised the discontinuance of the prosecutions against the Radical ex-officials, with sundry other charges which I cannot repeat in detail. You say that the reading of this letter zprodued a feeling of horror and dread throughout the State, and many of your (my) most devoted political and personal friends are deeply exer cised over it," and beg me to "brand it in the most public and decided manner." I proceed to brand it by saying that whecver says, or intimates, or hints that I have advised the discontinuance of the said prosecutions is a liar, and whoever believes it is a simpleton. Now, I think, the branding part has been done, and for the publicity, I will have to depend upon you. This letter to the Sun is written, as I am informed, by a Radical ex official of South Carolina, now living in Charleston, who got his position by treachery, sustained himself while there by duplicity, and having been ousted on account of his imbecility and venality, now seeks to make a living by lying and slander. The let ter which you enclose is a specimen of his capacity in that line, and one in the Journal of Commerce, of the 12th instant, wherein he refers to my having purchased a "State warrant," is another. I never before heard of such a warrant as he describes, and the statement is, therefore, a lie made of whole cloth. It is bad enough to be villified and traduced by Radical political traders, but when one who has tried to do the best he could for the State and the restoration of good government, and who feels that while he does not pre tend to have been entirel' unselfish, yet he made some personal sacrifices for the public good, has to be sub jected to the suspicion of his friends, who ought to know that such state ments are false, it is somewhat discour aging. I do not deny that I have exerted myself earnestly to secure my seat in the United States Senate. I have felt that it was my duty to do so, but I have made no bargains to secure my election, as you know, and shall make none to get my seat. My being seated may not help the State in the estimation of some, but the seating of my competitor would no doubt be re garded by all as a public calamity. If I am to succeed, I must be allowed to do so in my own way, and not turned aside by every lying scribbler who sees fit to slander me ; if not, I had better abandon the field, and ei ther let Corbin take the seat or some other Richmond enter the field. I do not mean by this that I am.. beyond or above criticism, but I do mean to say that suspicions and "dreads'' based upon such stuff as that contained in the enclosed letter to the Sun, which is false in every essential particular so far as it relates to me, is disgusting and absurd. I have had nothing to do with the rosecutions of the Riadical ox-officials. It is not my business, and I have pur posely avoided all connection with them. I have expressed my opinion to members of the committee and to General Conner, the Attorney-Gene ral, as to the manner of conducting those prosecutions, and shall exercise that privilege again whenever my judgment loads me to do so and those gentlemen are willing to hear me. I think the committee of investiga tion and the Attorney-General have done well, and are entitled to the highest commendations for their ser vice, but I certainly have a right to an opinion. My being a Scnator elect surely does not deprive me of this. If it does, the Senator elect may go, and I will maintain my right, and if scurvy scribblers misrepresent my opinions and actions, and friends suspect or doubt them, why I can only despise the one and pity the other. You need not have apologized for having written me as you have. I should have felt hurt had you not done so, with the information in your possession. I beg that you will give this letter whatever publicity you think the occasion requires. Thank ig you for your kindness, I am, very truly, your friend, M. C. BUTLER.

"Our steamer landed on a beach which was the port of Antioch, where the disciples were first called Christians. There was no town at the water's edge, no people, no wharf. The passengers and thle merchandise wore put ashore in lighters, which ran up into the sand. A troop) of camels, with their drivers, lay on the beach, ready to transfer the goods into the interior.

It C rCuliatCs eXten1siVey, :tua' an Advertising n'elinn ofTers unrivalled ad vanitages. For Terms, see first page. The coany Con vention. We recur to this subject again, because it is one of vital importance to the Democratic party of the County. There is evidently a storm brewing in certain quarters that is going to sweep away the last vest ige of the straightout policy, unless something be done to avert it. If an election were ordered in New berry to be held two weeks hence, and if the Democratic Coanty Con vention. as present constituted. were to nominate a set of candi dates, those candidates would cer tainly be beaten by an independent ticket. A large and respectable portion of the Democrats are dis satisfied with the Convention: they think it has been in power long enough, and they don't like to see it perpetuatig its own authority. They will not support that Conven tion any longer, but will put their own ticket in the field. The color ed people, it is well known, will vote for an iinuepen dent Democratic ticket before they will vote for one regularly nominated by a Demo cratic Convention. We see the danger. The rem,dy is clear. Call a new Convention. Remove every cause for dissatisfaction. Harmon ize all elements of the party. We are too weak to divide. Many of the dissatisfied Demo crats are men that cannot be driv en. They can't be forced into sup porting the Convention nominees. The party lash has no terrors for them. They are independent in more senses than one. Yet if a new Convention be called and new delegates be elected, or an oppor tunity given for electing new dele gatos, these very meni will support that Convention with all their might. There may be another electioh in this County soon. It behooves us to prep ari. for it, and to take the proper steps to secure harmony and unanimaity in the Democratic prty. It is not our intention to usurp the functions of the Executive Com mittee or to obtrude unsolicited ad vice upon that body. "I only speak what I do know." The I-HnAL, although preferring a new Convention, will support the old one as long as it continues ; but there are many Democrats who will not. What we have said then is free from bias one way or the ot~er. We speak for the good of the party. The Whippin!g Post. Nearly all the State papers are discussing the propriety of estab lishing the whipping post as a means of punishment for petty of fences. Many influential papers are in favor of it. They say that the present method of punishing for stealing, a crime so common among the colored people, is alto gether ineffectual; that they do not care for imprisonment, and that this mode of punishment entails e heavy expense on the county, which the honest people have to bear. We are totally opposed to whip ping as a punishment, because we believe that the lash has a debasing effect, not only on the criminal, but on him who has to use it and on the community at large. It would drive away every spark of manhood out of the criminal, de stroy the last vestige of self-respect, and then turn him loose upon the community a hardened, disgraced, desperate villain--the man all gone, only the animal left. Something should be done to check these petty offences of which complaint is so justly made. We believe, withi the Pickens Sentincl. that the best preventive is to es tablish a system of "convict labor" throughout every county. If a man steals, instead of putting him in the county jail to be fed at the county's expense, put him to work on the pulilc roads--they certainly need it. Work is the punishment mos~ t dreded by those who steal, more even than the lash. They steal to ke~m from workinz If be removed. This plan has been established in Georgia and has worked admirably. We hope it will be adopted in South Carolina. The W:ar. The Eastcrn War is the most des perate and bloody of modern times. It is a war between barbarians with the most improved implements for fight ing. Much is said about the barbarity and cruelty of the Turks, but the Rus sians are about on a par with them. Pretending to be ighting for the Christian religion, Russia has the sympathy of most Ch1ristiau people. Relig,ion has nothing to do with it. She is doing as she has been for years -fighting for additional territory. With a <iowinion more extensive than all the rest of Europe combined she is not satisfied. but wants more. For years she has had a covetous eye on Turkey, and has only been prevented from invading her by the fear that other nations would interfere. She never doubted that she could subjugate the country in short order. She deceived herself. The Turks don't propose to be subjugated. Thousands of human lives are being sacrificed to gratify the ambition and avarice of the Czar. At both battles at Plevna the loss on each side was tremendous. The last attack on the city by the Russians lasted several days. Soldiers were mown down like wheat before the reaper's scythe. A correspondent, describing the battle of the 12th, says : "Gen. .Skobeleff (Rus sian) lost 2,000 men in attacking a redoubt, and 300 men in holding it." At the battle of Biela the Russians lost 4,000 killed and 8,000 wounded. Such is the record day after day. The accounts from the. seat of war are heart-sickening. Wotwen and children and the wounded soldiers are treated with the utmost barbarity by both sides. Such a war is a disgrace to Europe and the Nineteenth Century. Parker vs. Chamberlain. Niles G. Parker, ex-Treasurer of State, has made, through the New York World, some very interesting revelations in regard to the late Radical Administrations in South Carolina. Chamberlain is deeply implicated, but ho attempts to deny it, and expresses himself ready to meet all charges against him in the Courts. Parker has cornered him completely, and his denial amounts simply to "high-sounding words, signifying nothing.'' He will prO. bably be permitted to answer in the Courts. We desired to publish 'the article from the World, but the confusion and additional labor incident to moving into our new quarters last week rendered it impossible. The State Fair. The Columbia Register of the 18th contained a premium list of the next State Fair, wvhich gives promise of something unusually good. The Fair will begin the 13th day of November and will last four days. One attractive feature will be the competitive drill by the different military companies in the State. The racing will be another attractive feature. The whole pro gramme is on a much grander scale than at any time since the war. State News. Fivc hundred and seventeen con victs in thc penitentiary. Out of nifteen persons convicted. of crime *at the Sumter Court last week only one was white. The Mayor and Aldermen of Columbia have extended an invita tion to Mr. Hayes to visit that city. E. W. M. Mackey has gone to Washington with a numerously signed petition, seeking for the Col lectorship of Charleston. It is stated on good authority that Judge L, C. Northrop, of the 7th Circuit, will be appointed Dis trict Attorney for South Carolina.' The Winnsboro News & ilerald is in favor of primary elections. We have been advocating the same thing, and hope to see the plan adopted. ESditorial Review. The Yellow Fever is raging at Fernandina, Florida. U. S. Senator Bogy, (Dem.) of Missouri, died at St. Louis, the 20th. The American Rifle Team beat the British at the Creedmoor shoot ing match. Gen. G.eo. B3. McClellan has been aominated by the Democratic party >f New Jersey for Governor. The Dry Goods business in New york is said to be livelier this sea son than at any time since the war. The President and party arrived ~t Atlanta, Ga, Saturday. Mayor Key, and Governors Van Zandt, Matthews and Young, of Rhode Is land, West Virginia and Ohio, were at Louisville, Kentucky, the 17th, and met with a grand reception. Gov. Hampton was pr-asent. In the war song officially distri buted znnong the Russian soldie;rs I with the sanction of the Grand Duke, Commander-in chief, there oc curs the following verse: "Bear down upon the coniounded Turks, and take no prisoners ! They have skinncd and imnpaled (the Chris tians) and burnt them alive. No quarter can be given to them." This is a literal translation. FOR THE HERALD. Our Washiniuton Letter. WAS.INGTON, D. U., Sept. 19, 1S77. One by one the roses fade. Mr. Haves was the first conspicuous violator of his own civil service reform in making a "progress' through Ohio prior to the election. Then it was annonnced in the face of a thousand promises to the contrary that Denart'nent clerks here this fall should have the usual election leave. Now it is said that the c'vil service order does not prevent "voluntary contributions" of ofiece-holders for political pur; oses. .Voluntary contributions" is what the great bull-dozen Zach Chandler called them when lie g.ve the clerks to understand that they could do as they ph ascd about giving, but they hu;st "give or go." TN.uo clerks will be writing at a desk, and one will be taken and the other left, and the one that is left will be the one that has made his "voluntary contribution." There is a mild kind of curiosity here to know what place Assistant Secretary Mc Cormick will receive if he leaves the Treas ury )epartmnent. IIe is spoken of, by his friends, for almost every important place in the Government from Minister to England to Ass't Sec'y of the Interior. We know that whenever he may go we shall hear of him-through the newspapers. Ilis name is one that McCormick will not willingly let die for lack of newspaper putfery. It is an ungracious thing to speak, save in the way of kindness, of any lady, and I don't intend to do it; but there is a silly story going around in the papers concern ing Mrs. Grant which ought to be corrected, and which certainly was never told with her consent. It is to the effect that an attache of the White Iiouse, retiring from active service on account of sickness, received every month from Mrs. Grant a check for $100 up to the time of his death. The truth is, I believe, that through the kindness of Gen. Babcock--a much abused man by the way-the name of this employee was kept on the rolls, and was paid regularly until e died, but was paid by the United States. The State D'epartinont hap no further fears of a conflict with Mexico. Continued peace with that country means ruin to those num erous speculators who expected to enrich themselves in various ways if war occurred. Millions upon millions of dollars in "claims" against Mexico would have appeared and the aid of our Government have been de manded to enforce their payment. I wrote you lately of a Col. Johnson, who has over twenty millions of dollars in such paper, and he is one of many. Then there are companies and individuals who claim that they have rights in the great mines of Northern Mexico, and they too would have profited by war, for the almost certain re sult of a contest would have been the ac quisition of the Northern tier of Mexican tats by us, ar.d these mining "rights'' which are not recognized by Mexico, would have had a fairer chance of recognition by Uncle Sam. Ex-Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Sawyer and other promninenTt persons are being tried in our Criminal Court. The barge is that while Saw~yer held thme posi tion named above, he, a1ctinjr in collusion with the other accused par'ies, secured the payment of large amounts of money on raudlent claims. It is not likely Sawyver will be convicted, though the facts, as stated, leave little room to doubt his guilt. We all know that it is not always possible to prove by legal evidence what appeams plain to thme ordinary spectutor. Payment of pensions through thme reduced number of agencies is made this mouth for the first time. There has been co,nsiderable lelay not incident to paiyme~nts undier the larger number of agencies. This may in part be remedied. The extra expense of twenty fve cents to a doilar, caused to many pen ioners, is, however, a necessity of the re auction. All the pensioners in Baltimore, lor instance, accustomed to draw their quarterly allowance without expense, by imuply going to the agency in that city, are now compelled, four times in each ya,t prepare and execute papers and send them to This city. In all cities where agencies tave been broken up the same expense is neurred. A calculation shows that the in idual pensioners will in tis way lose twice what the government will save. SOLON. ECONOMY IS WEALTH, Poor Richard says. If this be true, then it :s wise in every family to use Dar-yeas's Satin Gloss Starch in preference to any other, be aus it is the most economical ever manu ~acturd in the world. it is the most econom cal because it is the best; it is the cheapest ccause it is the best. It is purer, whiter, md stronger than any other starch. It has -eceived the highest award over all competi ;ors in the four quarters of the globe. Don't e deceived b)y your grocer. Ask for Daryeas' mproved Corn Starchl for food, and Duryeas' satin Gloss Starchl for laundry purposes, and :ake no other. Relief Without a Doctor.

A weekly journal, devoted to the interest of Judaism and Humanity, Art, Science, Literature and general Information. The establishment of a Southern Jewish ournal in the interest of Judaism and the dissemmination of its truths, would, we think, be no superfluous addition to the list* of journals of like character issued at the orth and West. Relying therefore on the encouragement of our co-relgionists in genera] and on the support of our Southern brethren and friends in particular, we have decided to venture upon this New Southern Enterprise, and shall, about the first week n September. present for the favorable con sideration of the public, THE SOUTHERN HEBREW.; Combining all the requisites necessary for carrying on an instructive and interesting journal, it shall be our aim to submit a paper, i-eplete with all that is calculated to enross the attention of those eager to wel come and entertain such a visitor to the home circle. Under able managementin all departments, with the aid ox ministers, teachers and the native talent of others in this section of the country, we hope to make this journal a valuable adjunct tot the Syna ogue and the religious school. A hearty "God-speed" has already been given.us,-and 'resh impetusto our energy, which is de ratifying to the laborers in the vine THE HEBREW will -be the organ ofno special class, nor will any particular shade of opinion be advocated in iti columns, but shall cheerfully endorse the right and the truth whencesoever they may emanate. In matters of religious opmnion, as well as on any important subject, we shallbe Indepeni ent in Everything-Neutral in Nothing. This being the only Jewish journal Issued in the South, THE HEBREW claims to possess superior advantages as an advertising me ium with rates equal to the lowest. Wtyor aid and encouragement, we trust to be able to realize every reasonable expectation. SUBSCRIPTION, $3.00 PER ANNUM. lIE RIMAN JACOBS, Publisher.
