T? u bravo and determined people, laboring in a good cause; failure is but a pointer to guide thom in ro newed efforts. Wo can now move ou in a new routo avoiding tho evils which have heretofore ovorconio us. That roform in thc Stato Government is nocded every ono ad mits, and no effort likely to remedy existing evils should bo neglected. Tho Press Con vention in addition to certain resolutions ac cepting acknowledged facts, recommended that a State Convention, composed of all classes favorable to reform bo held in Colum bia on. tho 15th of June, to consider and adopt a plan for future notion. Whether this convention is politic or not wo do not now propose to discuss. Wo kuow that "in union there isstrcugth, and in a multitude of counsel thcro is wisdom." Wc know too, that uo ono county can judge properly of tho policy of a Stato course. However this bc, tho edi for a convention in Juno has been en dorsed by a largo proportion of tho country journals, and mcctiugs to appoint delegates havo boon and aro beiu$ held.

Wo haye never ?j??fbro wit nessed such nu awfully sublimoi'displuy of Heaven's pyrotechnics. Ahalifjost incessant Hash of electrical fire l?ghtoj?jg??|p thc black clouds and tho quick aiuy/^ji toiling report told how near had been tho/rcVolfo. In older times such scenes were ninde tho occasion of superstitious fears, ns in tho second ode of Horneo, when the poet dissuades the Emperor from resigning bis authority by reason of the prodigies which had occurred. "Ho bath t.orrifieaSho city, ho hath terrified thc na tiona, by hurling his thunderbolts with his red flaming right hand against tho sacred towers." Thc light of involution lias dispell ed these idle fears, and while wo seo the power of God in tho thunder storm we real izo His goodness nnd tcnd*cr mercy in our daily preservation from evil. Tho lightnings may flush, tho thunder roar, thc wind howl, and the waters rage; but thc christian knows and feels those clements of destruction aro in the hands of a merciful God, his Heavenly Father, and without His knowledge no ill cnn boful him. Ile knows that these tcrriblo ele ments purify tho atmosphere, revivo vegeta tion and conduce to his temporal comfort and enjoyment. To-day* all animnto nnturo re joices and lifts its hoad in adoration of the giver of every.good and perfect blessing. Tho Stockhojdcrs of tho Georgia Railroad Company havo determined to extend nf. once tho road from Athens to the point whore it iotorsoots tho Air Line railroad. '/2T The democrats oarricd tho Stato of Now York, iii thc recent election thcro for Judges, kc, by 76,000 majority. Tho Air-Line Railroad. Time ia money. Money savod ie money made. Tho value of real estate is both inhe rent and conveutioual, tho former boiiig tho quality of tho law aud tho latter Its conveni ences to market, schools and the outside world. These aro axioms denied by no ono, and os suoh should teaoh us our iutorcst and duty in securing this road through our County town. Tho moro traverse of tho road through tho County would bb of little benefit even to tho ownors of land through which it might pass. It is tho market which makes4? railroad a sourco of profit toa com munity, and to have a market it must pass tho commercial center. Thero is no market at Perry ville nor ot tho numerous stations and turnouts along the linc of road from Col umbia to Walhalla, Tho channel, of moun tain trade Hows to Walhalla, and to build up and increase this should bo thc aim of all.-. As tho sun radiates heat and light in every direction, so would tho prosperity and trade of Walhalla spread out its beneficial effects far boyond tho confines of tho County. To di vert this trndo to another point could bc only partial, giving us two weak and indifferent markets. Concentrate weulth and trade and competition will make that, point a ra jirke t in its true sense. Tho samo thing would build up schools and colleges, workshops und man ufactories in our midst, and enhance tho rin0 of property of every description. Tho Reform Party A mass meeting was held in?Charleston, on the night of tho 10th instant, under the auspices of thc Reform Party. Tho accounts given of it by tho City Press indicate that it was a decided success, both as lo numbers present and harmony of action. A number of speeches wero delivered by both whitoaud colored persons ; and delegates, to twice the number of Representatives of tho county in tho General Assembly, wero appointed to at tend tho Convention in Columbia. Honesty and qualification for office, wit/iout regard to party, color or previous condition, constitute thc platform of this great reform movement. Retrenchment and official integ rity in tho legislative, judicial and executive department of tho ?State government arc iljhob jects of thc movement. Members of this pirty vote for the man end not for the party. The question is no longer is the candidate a demo ocrat, or is ho a Republican, but is bc hortest, is he qualified ? Obi issues are dead. Present issues look to tho future well being ortho Stale und ure of vital interest to every proper ty holder and laboring man in the St.\te. The He form party embody these clenents of future prosperity and good Goveruiven-t. Thc meeting in Charleston, by resolution, in vited every County to meet them in Conven tion at Columbia on tho 15th of Jen).. Will not our County and Picketts send ilelcratcs? A COLORED MAN'S VI KW'. - Henry pph.n son, a colored man, at Pine Bluff, Ark.yloes not deem that tho party which set hDM'roe entitled to as inuch gratitude from thc color ed people as they claim. In a Iel ter to Tubbs Coss' paper, tho Little Kock Freeman, he says : It is true that since thc war' our Northern friends have done a croat deal for us in thc way Of securing us thc political privileges we now/o.njoy. Rut, if thero hud been no war, WOjfld we not be slaves to day t The war was th/cuuso of our liberation Who commenced tin war?

Then if the war WS the cause of our liberation from the bonds of slavery, and thc Southern people wore the cause anti instigators of that war, are they * oqt our best friends ? Goon NKCIRQ SKN.SK.-The editor of the Macsville (Tenn.) Republican, the only pa per'in that State edited and published by a colored mun, in a recant article, says of the Radicals : T'hqy arc men who want .office j ore mali cious ?fud want revenge ; people who want to moren si tho colored man's enemies, and make abronl/in tho friendship now existing be tween tho negro man and his late owners. They arc the d?magogues, unprincipled and corrupt politicians j men who want un army of soldiers to saddle more expense upon our State., in order to do their dirty work under buyb'net protection ; ina word, extreme Hud Seals. We entrent the men of our race,not to be blinded nnd fooled. Rc free, and u'ot the slaves of miserable guides without judgement, conscience, or honesty. ifc?r This from tho St. Louis Democrat, radical to the core, is significant : ' It is amazing that thc daily and hourly murders in Georgia have suddenly censed now that they cnn no longer servo to keep Il ul look t\ Oompany in countenance. Since tho Senate' neted on the Georgia bill, wc have not heard of a single murder, a single outrngo. It is high time for tho country to understand that thero is something besides loyalty at thc bottom of thc Georgia business. Rut iBuCor and the gang of political banditti be beads aro determined to keep up agitation in Georgia.

LONDON, May 20.-Thc House of Com ' mons by n majority of four defeated tho bill allowing husbands io marry deceased wives' sisters. Thc following details of the insurrection in" Portugal arc published to day. General Sal danha having tuken thc cnstlo of St, Goorgo, after a sharp fight, wherein seven wero killed and eighty wounded, cntored the palneo and immediately resigned his coin m II nd into tho King's hands, who authorized him to form a new ministry. This coup d'etat was pnrtioi pated iq or sympathyzed with by tho people of Lisbon, Oporto, and other cities. fi3T Georgia hopes to do a heavy business in dried blackberries. Sho lins kirgo orders from California, whero the berries have a ready market afc good prices. In many por tions of this.Stato like orders might bo easily ?lled, greatly to the advantage of tho peoplo. Aooumulatod Misfortuuo A tide of calamities sometimes seta in upon a pcoplo, and flows with u steady and almost unbroken cuiront wbieh, at last deadens tho, ovor-atrniuod sympathies. Ton years ago a prospective glanoo ovor tho denude of woo which hus kept tho South in suifeiing and mourning, would havo burdened tho heart with a consciousness of human incapacity to oudure sue'.i a fearful ordeal us was in store for our people. We huve suffered and endured, with a pa tience and fortitude, which have fitly crowned tho fabrio of lofty virtues, whioh tho world, now recognizes- ns tho Southern Character. Tho severity of our chastening has been en hanced by tho Constant renewal of tho visita tion bf disappointment and anxiety at moments whou wo aro apparently upon tho very thres hold of deliverance from tho cruel and tedious travail. How frequent have been our mo ments of buoyant hopo und exultant anticipa tions of an early dawn of comfort und happi ness, in some measure to componsato for the bitterness of tho recent Tust. How sudden and overwhelming havo been tho visitations of consecutivo calamities for which human sagacity failed to provide. . At thc present moment thc Sti.to of Vir ginia is typical of the long and cumulative agony of tho South. She is the symbol of Southern woe, and ns she weeps over thc sor row which desolate her firesides, tho heart of the South is moved in sympathy for once of that historic sisterhood of Commonwealths, which, but a few years ugo, won the plaudits of tho universo io recognition of a heroism unexampled in human history. In that her itage of Southern glory, each Southern State is a participa nt, and each is also an heir in thc calamities which fall thick and fast upon one of tho sisterhood. No longer is Virginia to be known, only us tho ".Mother of St iles," for her weeping, which is never stilled, also proclaims her to be tho Xiobc of Common wealths. Tho dead of thc calamity nt the Capitol in Richmond havo hardly yet been removed from public gaze ; the funeral cor teges have hardly ceased to move through thu streets of tho mourning city ; thc wail of thc widow yet rises upon tho air, and tho sobs of tho orphan still utter their piteous appeal, whoo tho tidings of another fearful disaster, within thc limits of thc same State, aro Hash ed over the land. A pleasant and thriving village is in ashes, and hundreds of deserving people ero rendered homeless, by a Calamity which is only less sickening than tho appalling ? event ut Richmond, by thc absence of tho ! sacrifico of human life. Un Friday night, the Otb instant, the town of Fincastlo was visited by a conflagration : which destroyed over sixty houses, among them two hotels, a printing ollico, several business establishments and a very largo'pro portion of private residences, turning out whole families, penniless and destitute, at midnight, to tho tender caro of tho charitable. We read that so rapid was' the progress ol' the linne.?, that, in many instances lud?as barely escaped with lifo by flying from their burning homes in their night clothes j but wo arc also informed that these heroic women formed in tho lino afterwards and worked un tiringly with tho men in passing up water in a vain effort to stay tho progross of the Hames. The loss by thc fire nt F-inoastlo is estima ted at three hundred thousand dollars, with but little insurance Groat ns was this sac rifice of property, i! becomes paltry indeed, beside.tho tact it>?t sixty tuiiiilics uro home i h*' without clothing, Without habitations ami ? without provisions.

If Christian duty thus animates those \\lu, but lately were the enemies of Virginia, car rying lire and sword across her boundaries, how hearty and enthusiastic should bo tho fraternal sympathies tff Southern communities. No Southern community can afford to have it recorded, that its citizens bad no response for thc cries of Virginians for help in time of calamities which have shocked civilization. Poverty will not excuse tho delinquency j tho selfish maxim that "Charity begins ut home" cannot soften thc sting of u conscience corro ded by the bitter memory that it was silent, when not humanity ahme, but consanguinity, a common heritage of glory und sacrilice, and every noble impulse, of thc human heart, ap pealed to its generosity. And this too when aliens and recent enemies vied willi each oth er in the tender of help. It is incredible that any Southern community will bo recreant to this present duly to Virginia.
