Tho pence mid thc prosperity of South Caro lina- her interests, moral and material-ure involved in tho present State canvass. Let us hope that our pcoplo, from one end of South Carolina to the other, duty appreciates tho emergency. All tho anti Radical ele ments of South Carolina must combino to put an cud, in this State, to tho era of misrule and waste und corruption. Thc issues in South Carolina are identical with those lately before the people of North Carolina. There, n great victor)' was won, and it is possible to imitate the example set hy our.sister State. Om- .'.'.se. is not unlike hers. \\ c nre???>* following extracts troni tho address issued previous to the Inst election in North ("areli na. lt came from tho Conservative members of thc General Assembly of North Carolina. This address gave tone und direction to the canvass, und in that spirit, and upon that platform, the anti-Radicals of North Carolina won n thrice, glorious victory : "Thc domina it party uro organizing thor oughly for tho approaching campaign, and you imperil every important interest of the State, if you Hatter yourselves with the hope that it will surrender the Government with out a desperate struggle. We feel confident that nu equally zealous and determined effort on thc pail of the conservative people of this State, will insure them a thrice glorious vic tory in August next. Rut lo achieve it, they must be united nod thoroughly harmo nious, lu tho presence of a determined ene my we cannot lilford to divide among oursel ves. Thc past glories or defeats of old politi cal organizations should be among the things of the past, in tho battle we nie about to join against radicalism reckless extravagance, corruption, swindling, imbecility and pa rt iza ti tyranny, why should wo stop to inquire whether our leaders wore in the past, Whigs, Democrats, Unionists or secessionists, so they but lead us to victory and save us from u defeat, thc; result of which would bo nothing less than absoluto ruin to the State? That mao who mw attempts to exhumo the buried past, to revive the prejudices horn of issues long since dead, and w hich ought to bc for gotten, will intentionally or unintentionally, contribute to the strength of our common enemy Let the bickerings of tho past bc hushed; let. us rise above tho d warft od idea that would lead us to inquire what n man's politics were in thc past; let us but ask, is ho nn opponent of radicalism, is ho honest, is Ito competent ? Uj n this broad and elevated platform you cnn Iii Vi io tho good of nil pu vt i na and races to join you against that party, which han levied mid collcctod t<.?<-.%, without stint, with ono hand and scattered them w Y wild Oxlrnviiganoo vi ?th the other; that has intro duced into our halls of legislation, corruption hitherto unheard of there; that iias elevated to positions of trust and profit, men wholly unwoilhy of confidence j that has altered and confused our laws until thc administration of justice has become costly, and its attain incut uncertain ; that has sought to subordi nate thc civil administration to military pow er by proclamation of martial law mid petitions to Congress for the suspension of thc writ of hab?ds corpux ; that has moro than doubled the current expenses of thc State Govern ment; that has enormously incroased the Stato debt ; that has ruined the credit of thc Stale; that has cast a foul blot upon her hitherto fair escutcheon, nod that for want of statesmanship, and for utter disregard of tho necessities of thc people, is without a parallel in ibo history of this or any other Stato. With such a cnuso ns ours, ngainst such a party, tho undivided ranks of conser vatism must prevail. "Ill tho last contest in this Stato, tho prih ci pal issues was upon tho question af colored suffrngo and thc civil rights of tho colored race. That mntf cr has been decided, upon n solemn appeal, by tho pcoplo of tho United States.' Tho guarnnteo of their rights, lins now become a part of tho Constitution. To that Constitution, wo have ever boon willing to defer, to the'laws made iii pursunnco of it, wo yield, nod ever have yielded a ready oho dienco. "Tho Reconstruction Act of Congress, with the civil :in<l political lights they confer on the colored nico, wo regard as finality. We are one of thc States of tho Union. Let us seek to forget thc bitterness of the past, to build up the places made waste by tho Uhfor tun ito war, ?md to promote tho harmony and prosperity of ail sections of our groat country "Thc colored man now enjoys the same po litical and civil rights as tho white niau. Wc accept his status as fixed by thc Constitution of this State and tie United States, in good faith. Wc regard it as a final settlement of the question. lt now becomes our duty, as good citizens, to elevate him morally and intellectually. "Ill tito selection of candidates, let eligible 1 men be selected; let self bc lost sight of; let tho good of the St.'.lo be your aim, and success your battle cry. Lc all thc clements Opposed lo radicalism, be. organized into one solid, irresistible column. Let tho grand army that is to overthrow radicalism, unfurl its banner; lot the mighty hosts bc marshal ed ; lot thc camp fires bo lighted ; let every discordant feeling bo hushed, and with serried ranks, shoulder to shoulder, let it mau h with triumphant tread to a glorious victory " DETAILS or TUB BATTLE OV WOI?RTH. A correspondent of tho New Voile /Cnnin;/ /W, writing to that journal from Fran' ?i't on tho-Main, under dato <d' AllL'Ust 28, says: Particulars of tho battle noir W oort li still come in. Ail eye witnesses meroe that Koli niggratz was child's play in comparison with it. Thc German loss in dc id nnd wounded is est ininti ? ?it from JJ,OOO to 1,000, while the French had a gre? . " loss, not including tho 8,000 to 10,000 prisoners. This one battle cost Germany as muo'l ns ibo three, battles of Nachod (1,188 men), TrniitonaU (1.252), mid Sknlitz (1,455"), to Prussia in 1800 - Except ill those three battles and those of Gitschintiud Koniggratz, thu Prussians hover lost moro than a thousand men in any battle in that campaign. Tho Prussian loss at Koniggratz was 8,877-double the number of Wocrth, though in the former 220,OOO Prussians were engaged in the fight. Ac cording to tho expoiienco of 18(10 there comes to a loss ol' niue men, two killed timi seven wounded ; accordingly, about 1.000 Gormans must hjiyo fallen at Wocrth. Thc ligurcs of thc total loss by Woorth reach twen ty uv."o. ..i' tim m ta I L'russian hiss during thc I860 War, namely, 4,150 killed and 10, 177 wounded. The Lulen Staatsanxeiger gives the French loss nt Wocrth at 8,000 prisoners, 0,000 dead anti wounded, two ea glos, over thirty cannon, six mitrailleuses, and valuable baggage, tint of McMahon be ing anning it with the papers of his bureau and his correspondence. Tho Wurtcmbergors captured a division war treasury containing 800,000 francs. Thc ll id.mers secured a number of guns, arms, ?md more than a hun dred horses. A French prisoner, an officer, passing through Krankfort, said : "Our loss cs arc beyond all description ; McMahon's . corps was as good as destroyed. It was a fight siu-h as I never saw ; as often as wc threw oui sel ves upon the ene ny, just as often bad we to face fresh troops; it was as if they sprung out of inc ground. We cannot un derstand how thc Germans can have so many soldiers." THE FATALITIES OP Fe KM KR WAILS. At Marengo the French had 2S,0U0 men, the Austrians 80,000, and 18,000 were either killed or wounded. At Austoilitz there were 00,000 French, 80,000 A list ri ms and Hussions; killed and wounded, 28,000. At Jena, 100,000 French. 100,000 Prussians; killed and wounded, 84;000. At Wutrrnm 150,000 French. 180,000 Austrian; killel and wounded, 21,000. At Borodino, 125, 000 French and the same number ol' Pus stan; loss in killed and wounded, 80,000. At Leipsic, 150,000 Fronch 280,000 allies; 50,000 killed and wounded. At Waterloo, 08,000 French, 07,000 Knglishj 14,000 killed and wounded. At Solferino, 185,000 French and Sardinians, 180,000 Austrians; loss' in killed and wounded, 27.000. At Sa dowa, 200,000 Prussians, 200,000 Austrians, &oj 28,000 killed and wounded. And thc French paper, which gives these figures,adds significantly. "And now there ?ire SOO OHO men in presence of each other, with improved moans of destruction." CHOLERA APPROACHING.-Tho awful news of cholera reminds us of au obi insidi ous and unconquerable enemy. In Havana it is spreading with fright Cul rapidity. There were fifty three deaths iii one day and eighty on another Tho victims aro taken from all classes-from tho aristocracy and the chain gang-equally. Tn the shipping in the har bor its lavages have been very great, and let 1 tbrS dread lest the epidemic moke such head way as to lill the city with mourning, and to take the population oil' in countless numbers, in Fiance WO hoar of tho cholera among the German troops. In South eastern Russia it is rapidly extending. Tho Journal ile St. Pctcrtburfli of tho 11th inst., announces twenty-three cases and ten deaths from the epidemic nt Bestow, nod nine coses and four deaths at Kci'toll. The appearance of tho discaso is also announced at Odessa, in a communication dated thc -1th inst. The la test news from Taganrog stales that from the 25th of Juno to tho 18th of July, 118 cases of tho malady occurred in tltat town, seventy five of which ondod fatally. ?&F it is nearly settled that tho total pop illation of tho Unitod States will bo found, by the census now almost completed, to exceed 11,000,000-a goin of fully 10,000,000 with in tho last ton y ea i's, though tho war must have cost us fully 500,000 of lives.

Sunday afternoon a re port reached town/that a large armed band of colored men wcrsTiii tho neighborhood of Bel mont, swearing J ) burn out and hill Mr. dames Chappell, who had a difficulty some days before with a negro who ho was desirous pf driving oil tho plantation of Mr. .Moses Audi ison, ut the latter's request. The (lilli. cully wo leam, had been .settled however, afterwards. Mr. I'nysingcr, sherill*, proceed cd to thc spot, and there learned that a party of sixty colored men hud gono to thc house of Mr. Anderson, whore Chappell wan, and Mr Wm.

Tho patty in thc house thou .caine out, live in number, armed, when tho ncgroc ; wont off and were joint d by others, altogether timuuntiug to a large force. Thc citizens ju thc meantime turned out, and both partiel, as night had conic on, re unlined in position about two milos apart till ? morning, Mr. I'iiysingcr with tho company of oituons.

Sherill', but finally consented to lot him j and two others pass. On la ing ordered to disperse, and, il' not peaceably, they should be forced, they replied there were not men enough in Newberry to disperse thom. Hemming to the scene of action near Ucl mont, in company with two young men, Mr. 1\ overtook a force of constabulary and color ed men from t?tm going in tho .same dire? t ii ni.

Arrivhtf iii? tho giv-ud he found i large force, perhaps six or eight hundred ii number, of white mon mounted and armed, who had gathered in his absence, having heard beside that ('rews with a loree from Laurens were on tho way to reinforce thc Belmont outlaws. Mr. l\ then with three or four leading men ol'du: neighborhood, ad vanced to tit.- hostile party and demanded te know what they wanted. The answer wis justice.

Tho great victories won hy 0cronin nrms, j ?nd tlic ?I in Ost miraculous prostration of d'or- j ninny's most powerful and most dangerous foo, I have sent a thrill ol' national exultation j through tis? pulses of Fatherland, Bonfires, ! illuminati,us, triumphal processions, public meetings and congratulatory M dd reuses have not heen wanting in any of the hugo cities that dot the broad region extending from the Rhino to tho horders of Russin. Thc echo of j these jubilations conies to us across tho Allan- j tic, and jt is so loud und hearty as to drown | the ones of grief and anguish which ascend along with it from thousands and thousands j of homes initdo desolate by thc curse of this | dreadful war. In fact, there is a determined j effort, and, under thc circumstances, not an unwise one, on tho part of tho German author ities to suppress the true details of the carnage inflicted on their troops. Tim story would be so appalling, wore it all frankly tobi nt this juncture, ns t<> awaken nil over Germany a j voice for instant peace that could ont be re sisted. 11 once, tho must is made of tho suc cesses gnincd nnd ns little ?-7 p issi ble i "aid ; of their frightful cost.

At thc battle of I (* ra voilette tho (?crinan dead lay heaped i upon thc heights whence tho French had boon dislodged towards tho close of the action I "in swathes und winrows, litro grain in 11 | j densely planted and well mown Hold," and thc j distress of the royal coniinnndor-iti chief nt thc j almost utter annihilation of bis splendid Guards-tho pride of the Prussian army-is d eso.i bcd ns having been extreme.

This fact has been very touchingly illustrated upon many occasions during Ibo struggle.

At Sedan there was an absolute battue of ti tled officers; and long lists of counts, barons, and gentry of distinguished name and social position figaro among the slain in the state ments of thc press in Austria, w here the care ful restrictions imposed upon thc North Ger man editors afc not enforced.

Professional politicians have matured plans in regard to tho new German Confederation; to bc called the Nord Deutcbe Bund, Herr Delbr?ck to be President. A council has been called ut headquarters, and the Baden and Wnrtcmburg governments arc busily conferring in regard to the political future. Herr Lascar, r.

Thus it will bold to wards tho now confederation tbc same position that Washington nnd the District of Colum bia do to tbc United States. This is tho first direct step towards what bas long been a dre un of German patriots - not merely German union, but German uniou of allied republics. TOURS, September 22.-There isa strong movement on the part of the clergy of France favoring national defence, lt is generally believed here that tho Prussians are negotia ting with France solely for thc sake of delny so as to secure possession of Paris. A Telegram special from London says tho Gorman Military authorities demand Alsace, Lorraine. Metz, Toul and Verdun for Prussia* French Flanders for Beigium, Savory for Switzerland, and N:ce and Corsica for Italy. They will not submit in any way to interfer ence on the part of neutrals. Dispatches from Berlin states that n con stitution is preparing for the security of Ger man unity. Herr Delbr?ck is preparing formalities for proclaiming Frederick Emperor of Germany, During tho investment of Paris tho fol lowing important engagements have occurred : Ctn Saturday, the 17th, a Prussian brigade routed several battalions of French north of Brevanes forest ; thc next day a sharp skir mish occurred near Vi troy : on Monday tho French were driven from their entrenchments at Betray, losing seven suns ; near Versailles, .. ?"v.jf >A ~,?w*r ...-c. .,y . . .

LONDON, Scntombor 21.-A letter from Bismarck, dated the 1 Db, says : "The next phase of thc war will be thc investment, nnd, in lime, it is hoped, tho occupation of Paris; then peace. Those in power will certainly not desire further slaughter, when tho solo requirement will bc an absolute guaranteo that the peace of Europe will not. ?gain bo disturbed."
