C.: Saturday Morning, September 1,1866. Tho Legislature' His Excellency Qov.

M. j " Accident ' On Wednesday evening tho 23d ult., as tho train on tho Blue Ridge Railroad was leaving Anderson for Pendleton, it ran off the track near tho former placo, smashing up the ongino, but doing no other serious injury. Tho delay occasioned by tho aooidont, caused ns to loso tho mail for last wook's paper. The Mails Tho mail is to bo carried, tri weekly, on the Blue Ridge Railroad, at an early day. We aro also likely to have a tri-weekly mail to this plaoo. Now, wo havo nono, except that car ried by private enterprise.

Among tho cmigrauts from our District, to tho Wost, we part with onr csteomed fellow . citizen, Mr. DAVID S. STRIBLING, of Fui? * ?eeT wTsl?o? ?f his numerous friends in the "did land," for his future prosperity and hap piness. ? Mysterious. Mr. ELTAS H. CLEVELAND relates to us the following oiroumstancc, with which there is probably some mystery connected. On the 25th ult., near Coneross bridge, on tho Fair Play road, ho, with others, met some person . on horsebaok. Tho party hailed, supposed to bo a negro, jumped from tho horse and made his way into tho woods. A dark bay moro, with several white spots on "her, was taken possession of. The maro can bo found at Mrs. MARY CLEVELAND'S, near Snow Creek post ornoo. Rain. Tho long, distressing drought has been brought to a olose in this section. We have . had an abundance of rain, falling gently, and disappearing rapidly in thc parched earth. Tho rain comes too lato to bo of material ben efit to tho oom orop. Lot us improve tho season, and the oiroum stanoes by which wo aro surrounded, by seed ing largely of turnips, rye, and other winter erop8. Also, prepare well and sow liberally of your best seed wheat. Much, very muoh, depends on tho ability of tho country to feed its inhabitants until another orop is harvested. Loavo no stone unturned to effect this object. Tho Barbecue. Tho colored people of Pendleton gave a sub fl tan tie 1 barbecue at that place, on the 24 th ultimo. Tho object of tho ocoasion is not fa miliar to us, but wo loam that speeohes were made by Col. TRESOOTT, of Pendleton, and Col. STONE, of the Freedmen's Bureau. Tho disposition of tho freed people to gain . i u fe mint io n is laudable, And we trust that those capable of imparting instruction will al ways bo ready and willing to do so. tf?* In Central Georgia thousands of freed men aro agitating tho question of immediate immigration to Liberia. This spirit was said to bo rife among them at the late demonstra tion in Macon. SST We regret to learn that His Honor Judge WARDLAW was robbed of about five hundred dolors while getting on the train at .Philadelphia. Hon. J. B.

But, before wo can have emigrants from abroud, it is of no small mo ment that tho . present whito population shall remain. Tho failure of tho orops Will Cause many to omigrato;to the West. . So, therefore, instoad of inoreasihg.our population by emi gration, we aro likely to loao from tho.same oau.se. It is of tho utmost importance,, there foro, that tho Legislature soon to oonveuo shall deviso ways and means to prevent the wholesale emigration with which tho State ia j threatened. This oan ouly be done, in our I opinion, bj throwing into our bordure, from tho West, the surplus grain of that prolifio seotion, at xx?t sod expensen. This may ena bio ?B to live for another year. The occasion imperatively demands that something may be done for tho relief of thc sufferers by drought. " Stay Latr," Ao. We publish, ??by request," on our first page, an artiolo on " stay laws." Some of tho views expressed by this corres pondent docs not meet our approbation. In fact, the views of neither party accord with our own.

The Politioal Aspect Tho politioal sky is dearing. Tho Phila delphia Convention has given new lifo and hopo to tho conservativo element in tho coun try. Tho friends of the President and consti tutional liberty have entered upon tho fall oanvass with the most encouraging prospcots of success. We publish on our first pago tho " Declara tion of Priuoiplcs" adopted by the Philadel phia Convention. Tho Address is long, and wo hope to be able to make room for it uext week. Theaddress, howover, is nothing more than an oluboration of tho resolutions adopted. Tho Bin? Ridge Rail Road Company.
