A few years ago Arkansas was as badly Radical ridden as South Caro, lina, but when hor true sons determs, ined to ceaso compromising with Rtad icalism anid free themselves, they suc ceeded, just as South Carolina will on the 7th of November. Be Prepared, Tho riot in Charleston hans clearly shotwnl the hand of the Radical party in this election. They have p)lainly announced that no colored man shall vote the J omocratic ticket without bloodshed. They haivo a!ao proclaim ed that white Democrats who protect colored Democrats commit a crime worthy of death. We desire peace and intend to have it, unless the con trary is forood upon us, in which event ihey shall be fully satisfied. There gbro, wo say, be prepared, and if the issue is forced upon us, let us meet it like men. *eIlow fever is raging terribly in R wannkah. . Proceedings of t4e Mass Meeting on the 5th insta"t. ADDRESS OF EN. HAMPTON. Tihle Democr-el meeting at this place oi the 6th instant, wa the largest and most en 1husiatit ever hield In the lCounty. At an early hour in the morning a stream of people commenced pouring in from every section of the County, and W.en' the- speaking began, there were fully two thousand on the ground. The Central and Pendleton "Red Jackets," (bloody shirts). moun , com 0r.ded gy Captains Sitton and J.f U*is, plNede4 I, the Pendleton Cornet. Bwd, were the. first to make their appearano as an organization, and were at once sent forward on the Easley road to meet General Hampton and his es cort from that place. They had been gone but a short time, when the Liberty "Red Jackets," under command of Captain A. T. Clayton, came galloping into town in splen did order, and were directed to follow the Central and Pendleton Companies and join the escort. In the mean time the people had collected on the side walks on Main-street, through which our distinguished and gallant leader with the escort was to pass, anxiously awaiting their arrival. They were not kept waiting long, however, before the strains of music from the band and the cheers of nian in the distance indicated to them that H1amp% ton was coming. Everybody was now in tip toe, and the words, "Hampton is coming," pased through the crowd almost like cloc tricity. In a very short time the head of the procession was seen turning the corner near the Methodist Church-the band in front, followed by General Hampton and one or two others in an open buggy, and a carriage con, taining the o)thcr speAkors. General Hamp ton was at once recognized by many of of his old soldiers who were in the crqwd and pointed out by them to those who had never seen him. As the procession moved along Main-street, cheer after cheer greeted our distinguished leader, and the mass of people commenced moving forward on either side of the escort to thiestand, which had been erect ed in front of Mr. J. C. Griflitis, in an ele. gant grove, and near the public spring. The speakers were escorted to the stand, and the band placed in position, when Col. Bowen, the County Chailrnian, acose, and in a few very appropriate and happy remarks intro duced our gallant., distinguished and beloved loader, (Gen. Wade Hampton. When General Hampton arose to address the audience, the imost enthusiastic and deafening applause we ever heard, greeted;him. The oldi and young men waved their hats and shouted, the ladies waved their handkerchiefs and the hills re sounded with the echoes of a joyous welcome to our noble Hampton. After the applause had ceased, General Hampton spoke substantially as follows: Air. Chlairman and Fellou.,Cit izens :I do not feel that I am a stranger amongst you. This County gave to me in the war some of the best. mecn in South Carolina. 1 have not forgotten that. This campaign has only one purpoe, anid that is the redemption of South Carolina, and at request of the State Execu tive Committee, we have cormmernced in P'ick. ens, asmongatthe ngie nena-of the mountains hiro-rder to carry their enthusiasm with us to thme seaboard. lie spoke in glowing terms of the meeting at Anderson on the Saturday before, and said there was to be no more compromise with Radicalism. For eight years-the Democrats had patriotically worked under Republican leadership to redeem thme State, and all their efforts had proven a failure. The true sons of the State are now making an cffort to take her once more into their own hands, and place her on the proud pedestal she once oc cupied, lie emphatically disclaimed that thme present movement was for party ascendency; its only aims were the redemption of the State and restoration of peace and prosperisy. In the past, some of our best and most.patri otic.citizens had thought that by co,operatiorp. with Republicans, the State might be re deemed; for those he had not a word of cen sure. Their motives were pure and patriot ic, but their efforts had signally failed. Many of the gallant sons of Pickens had rallied around his standard in days par t, and he came now in the name of the State to call them again to rally around the standard of Reform and home rule. $ix years ago when a wing of the Republican party, said by their own words that the Republican party had be come a reproach to the civilized wvorld, and organized a Reform party, the Conservatives did not throw any difficulties in their way; they did not even have a ticket in the field, but supported their candidates, and assisted them in their effort to reform their own party. You worked with them to save the State anid failed; now we call upon all honest Rtepubli canis to work with us. lie then referred to the efforts and failures under the leadership of Judges Orr and Green, and said Ihe Con servatives had voted with them, and for Re publicans since reconstruction. We had voted for Delaney, (to, the colored people) which shows the sincerity of our purpose, and was an evidence to Republicans that we did not work for party, but to save South Carolina. In all these movements he had gone with the people, but at the time thought we were com, mitting a mistake. Hie had always madle it a rule of his life never to forsake his friends. Said there was but one way to save the State, and that was by nominating her own sons and putting them in the field, and whose character would be a guarantee of their lhon, esty, and they would carry our banner to success. Said he did not want to be the standard bearer in this contest, for he had retired to private life, and there was no Fede ral office, however honorable or profitable it might, be that would have attracted him from retirement; but lhe had always said, while life lasted, when the people of South Carolina met around the family alter and called him, lhe would give his arm andl life to save the State. lie said we must, and can carry our banner to victory-asked how could we (d0 it, and re plied, by an earnest praying and an honest. election. Said he was willing to divide time withI Republicans, for lie was not afraid for his cause to stand upon its own merits-had faitl3 and confidence in it. Urged his hearers to go through the Uounty and get every man to enroll. You can go to the Republicans and tell them that three time." we have worked f<r you-we are not working for party, but the redemption of the State. We will not ask you to try us three times-try us once, and if a reduction of taxes andl prosperity does' not follow, then turn us out and place others in.-. We only ask a trial. There is nas In,ht. af the result, Anderson, Oconce and all the counties In the State were aroused. In Char leston the colored people were coming in, and RLichland is sate to us. If w@eMa carry these Coeutles. What can yon do? G nto te mountains and bring every man out. He did not see how the men of Lke mountains could vote the Repuilican ticket, for they were hounded dows like wolves by the reve nuo officials. He reviewed the Sevenue laws at length, and said no such laws were known to exist under Democratio administration. aid showed how oppressive it was on those in the mountains who live so far from market, and had no means of transportation. He related one instance which .came within his own knowledge, where a man, who had been a good soldier In his command during the war, had Doncluded, probably, to make up a few bush DIs of his corn into whiskey and raise a little moue. to pay his t4x, Ile wa,at work one d0. 6 e ,01f9eW-,'eltthree.ore enje!O&f4 fROils rode op to tfe nse and ialled-td 'him to come to them. This he concluded not to do and quietly moved off in the oposite dire4tio'n, whenk one of the officials drew a pistol and fired at him six times, almost shooting him to pieces. This he had no more right to do than he, (General Hampton,) had to shoot the ven erable gentleman then sitting before him. Such tyranny and oppression was never before known. le then spoke of the platform, and said It recognized the rights of every mar. Said he recognized that platform and stood upon it, and if elected, he would be the Gov ernor of all parties and color@. Said he ac cepted all the constitutional amendments, and pledged all the gentlemen on the State ticket with him to observe them inviolate- Pledged the party to give the colored people the bone fit otfree schools, better than they have now. General Hampton then paid -his compliments to J- J. Patterson, and handled him with gloves off. Said that Patterson in his speech in the Senate had said that the. Republican party in South Carolina had gave 1,000,000 of dollars annually for the education of the colored people. This would support thirty schools in each County, and give the teachers about one thousand dollars apiece, then they would have something left steal. He review ed Patterson's character, ar,d said lie was now a representative of the Republican party in Congress--how any man could support such a party surpassed his poor comprehension. The Democratic party proposes to reduce taxes. Under Democratic rule the members of the Legislature received only three dollars a day for their services, and were in session only about three weeks; now they receive a salary of $600 and remain in session nearly six months. The public printing only cost $16,000 or $18,000; now it co8ts in one year $300,000. Then $450,000 defrayed the entire expenses of the Government; now it costs $1,600,000. It costs the State one and a half million dollars to have Ohainberlain for Gov ernor- The Democratic party would bring back pence and prosperity to the county. If elected Governor, lie might not be able to ao complish all lie desired, but. if a riot occur, red and lie could not put it down without the use of bayonets, lie woultd resign. If lie had to run to Washington for aid, he would never recross (he Potomac--would never show his face in South C:arolina again. If with their boasted 4'0,000 Republican majority they could not. govern lie State, lie thought, they should quit, South Carolina was aie to govern her self with her own people and she wvill do it. We want peace and quiet, but wve have born this thievery and misrule as long as we intend to. Wh'len in commi:and of his troops in the war, he niever put themu into battle uselessly, but, when lie did put them in, it was to win. lIe had the same men n.w, and~ lhe was going to put. them in to win,) anid th y would win. Goneral IIampton's speech was frequently int erra f,ted by applause, and at the conclusion, cheer after cheer wvent up fromi his enthusias tic audi'nce. Hion. WV. D). Simpson, of Laurens, nominee for Lieut. Governor, was the next speaker, andl in his usual eloquent, att ractive and for coabh2 stylc, doUivored '..e t.he most with, ering rebukes to Radical rapacity andlincom.. pet ency, it has ever been our fortune to listen to. iIe made a fine impression, and closed amid thunders of applause. General James Conner, nominee for Altor ney General, was the next speaker, and in one of the most eloquent and chiaste addresses we ever heard rivitedl the attention of his audience for about three quarters of an hour. iIe laid bare the rottenness and cot-ruption of the Radical party, and won the admiration and applause of every body. General Samuel McGowan, was next intro dqced, and in his felicitous style, soon had the audience in uproars of laughter and ap plause. His arguments were powerful and convincing, andl calling up the colored men closer to him, lie gave thenm the most sensible and wholesome advice, we venture to say, they ever had in their lives, which we are confident, had a good effect on them. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, candidate for Con gress from this District, was the next speak,. or, and being the most prominent G ranger in the State, attracted universal attention, for his audence was almost entirely composed of farmers, many of whom belong to the Grange. His address was worthy his reputation as an orator and an honest upright man, and had a telling effect ou his audience, all of whom felt at the conclusion of his speech, just like he would certainly be our next Congress man. Col. J. S. Cothiran, candidate for Solicitor* of this Circuit, and, the rising leader of the young Democracy of this section, was the next speaker, andl in an eloquent and stirring speech of half an hour, added a bright laurel to his brow, lie won for hiimself' the univer sal esteem and admiration of the entire audi ence, who felt quite proud of our next Soli citor. It was reserved for Col. William Wallace, of Columbia, Presidential ~ector this Dihs., trict, to close the proceedings e day and pronounce -the benddiction. THs lie did la an admirable and eloquent style, which br ought down the applauue of everybody. Thus ended one of the most brilliant and suc, cessfiml days in the politicalhistory of Pickenus County. ___ The Combahee Again.

A Bloody Riot in Oharleston. de A bloody and disgraceful riot broke jut )ut in King Street, Charleston, S. C., go )n Wednesday night, the 6th instant thi tnd for several hours spread oxcite- th nent and alarm throughout the City. Bt rho News and Courier says: "The ab Mifair was the restlt of the settled de, mi ;erinination of a gang of colored row. tl lies, calling themselves Republicans, an o wreak vengance upon their own fr< Aploi, v6have ijosumed' t'pubicai. y affiliate withthe Democratic party. th he trouble began by a comparatively at small body of rioters, speedily assum- ap ed formidable dimensions; idle and be excitable colored mon and boys from nt all quArters hurried to the scene of the se disturbance, swelling the crowd and w increasing the tumult, and the main a thoroughfare of Charleston was for ul more than two hours in possession of m a fierce and howling mob of negroes, w cursing the whites and savagely at- ti tacking and beating every white man it who chanced to be on the street. Capt w Hendricks, with a squad of thirty po- h< lice, finally succeeded, by persistent hi effort, in dispersing the rioters, but si not until a long list of bloody casual- bi ties had occurred, some of them seri- n, ous and perhaps fatal in character. ct The result is now squarly presented c( to the citizens, whether or not Char- fr loston is to be loft at the mercy of a G mob of ignorant and excitablo nogroes a whenever their vicious loaders may U give the signal for riot: t1l HOW THE RIOT BEGAN. tI] The Hampton and Tilden Colored th Club of Ward 4 met last evening at or Archor's Hall. J. It. Jenkins, the hi vice president, called the meeting to tn order, and speeches were made by g< Jonkins, J. W. Sawyer, Isaac B. Riv- pi ers, Augustus Grant, Stophn-y Riley, or J. W. Barnwell and Lawrence Brown. tli As thore had been a throat thrown in out that the colored Radical members su of Live Oak and 1lunkidory Clubs hi would break up the meeting and kill bi the colored Democrats, it was resolved d< by the Club to escort the colored h< Demnocrats to their homes. Af'ter the ti, meeting adjourned, about quar-ter past hi 10 o'clock, the line wvas formed and re each colored Democrat was placed in b( the centre of a half dozen whites. The line then marchied up King street fu quietly and without interruption, uin- ar til they reach;dd the German Ch urxch so opplosite the Citadel Green, when a at mob of about 150 negroes, armed with sti staves, clubs and pistols, came yelling Gi dfter them, h urrahing for ilnycs ana TI Wheeler. The white men stopped, an rid one of the leaders of the negro m, gang wvho had run up ahead of his an DIrowd accompanied by about a dozen t,h knocked the firsat white man ho met in pzi Lhe head with a slung shot, and the dai Drowd immediately behind him fired ar ai pistol into the crowd of whites, ed shouting. that they would have the ou colored Democrats out even if they an had to kill every man in the crowd el to do it. The white then returned the ei fire, shooting over the heads ot the negro mob, and a portion of the white men took Rivers, Sawyer, Jenkins, W and other colored Democrats to the p Citadel, where.they were p)laced un, to der the guard of the United States troops. In a shorter time than it in Lakes to tell the story, the negro mob p had increased to fully three hundred, H all of whom were yelling and shouting h4 and breathing threats of violence.-- hi There were about forty whites in the crowdl, and these retreated backwards up King street, facing the negroes and Si keeping them off as well as they could he by returning the fire from the pistols at of the mob. On reaching the corner to of John - street the negro mob was no inforced by another multitudo of 1 blacks who swept out of John siteet J ond cut off the retroat of the whites. it was-at this point that the fight bo-. eame hotter. It was now a hand to B hand contest, in which p)istol shots ex changed very rap)idly. Only fohur or five policemen ha'I arrive'd at the sceneA and theo were, of course, p)oelessA to restrain the infuriated mob. J us tice Reed, with a wvhite man named Plaspohl, then came up arnd called on ( a posse of citizens, whito and blacks to assist him in quieting the row. But the negroes would listen to nothing. They cried "blood!" and swore they A would have it. Policeman Chas. S Green, colorod, at this time came up, _ and standing between Judge Reed and Mr, Plasphol did all he could to pur auado the crowd to disperse; they re fused, answering his words with cursos and threats. For a moment the crowd ed appeared as ii quieting, but a skirm- I ish between a white and black man, on the outskirts of the crowd, soon ro,. 18 newed the gen'ral fight. Policeman o [+rcen became surrounded, and en avored to arrest a mati who had it fired off a piatol, Pistols were ing off overy moment, and artid D firing Polloeman Green fell shot rough the abdomen, and Mr. J. M. icknor, white, was shot through the domen. By tUis thno the polico )n were reinforced by squads from e upper and lower Guardhouses d succeeded in soperating the whites )m the blacks. The wounded men were taken to o upper Stationhouse by a detail, id the fighting immediately began pain. The whites by this time num. red only about fifteen M en, largo imbers of them having boon knocked neeless with clubs and paifings. with hich the mob were armed. -After desultory fight of about fifteen anin ;es longer the negroes had complete atery..of the field, Policeman Green as the only colored man to up that me who was hurt, and he was shot is believed by one of the negro mob, ho attempted to fire at a white man 3 was protecting. Several nogroos id boen knocked :Jown, and five or x received bad gashes over the head, it more wore seriously hurt. The 3groos then stationed themselves in -owds of forty and fifty at each >rner along King street, extending om Calhoun street to the Upper uardhouse, iu front, of which stood hugo and inf uriated mob c ursing and ireatening to break in and take out o white men who had hoen placed oro for protection. White men on e street were scarce, and as soon as o turned a corner or came along on s way home, the crowd in his im ediato vicinity would give a yell and ) for him with brickbats, stones and stol shots. The crowds at the corn, a above and below thom, hearing o pistol sWots, would close ip, and a few moments the unfortunate was rrounded by a pack of over two mndred negroes, who (lid everything it kill him. hrviy would knock him >wVn with brickbats, and as soon as would get up to run they would 'e pistol shots at him and over hai. aUd, while the crowd ahead would arest himi anid givo him a nother atinug. It is impossible for us to give the 11 details of the riot from the News id Courier. Mfter the riot men: lay nseless in puiddles of their own blood id the sight of a white face on King -cot was a signal for an a.ttack. -cen and Biuckner have since died. ie whiteOs aro now organzed, armed d equippjed, and fully p)repare'd to 3et the issue should it again occur, d make short wvork of these blood irsty demons in human shape.
