K*> Au interesting letter, by our es? teemed correspondent 0. H. M., writ? ten from Long Branch, came to hand too late for insortion in our present issue. S?T Our^&dcra will see from our advertising columns that Mr. MARX E. COHEN, who is now a muoh esteemed citizen of Sumter, bas become a special partner with Messrs. PATE & STUBBS. Oar best wishes attend him and the new firm. SST We have been presented by Mr. A. WHITE, generul Fire and Life In? stirance Agent at this place, with a large and well ezeouted map of the seat of war, betwoen France and Prussia, issued by the Gormania Fire Insurance Company of New York. In this oonneotion, we take occasion to say that we are pleased to learn from Mr. WHITE that the importanoe of | insuring our property, and more es? pecially our dwellings, is becoming moro generally appreciated by our people. ROGUERY, Just now, is rampant at Sumter, Sat? urday night last, tho carpet was taken from tho who!o length of ono of the shies of the Methodist Church. REFORM AT PROVIDENCE. A lotter from a prominent oitizen of Providence, informe us that arrange? ments have been made for a large meeting iu tho interests of the Union and ll cfo nu movement at that place, on Saturday next. The lotter says that a great chango has taken pluce in that section, and that the people are moving nilli spirit. Let other sections of thc county move promptly. FIRST NEW COTTON AT SUMTER. Thc first balo of now cotton was brought to Sumter on Monday last, by Mr. C. C. MYERS, son of our esteemed fellow citizen JOSHUA MYERS, of Pro? vidence. After spirited bidding, it was bought by Messrs. GREEN & WALSH at j cents. This is the third year that Mr. MYERS has brought the first bale of j new cottou to market. FREIGUT REDUCED. We beg to direct the attention of all interested to the reduoed rates of freight to and from Charleston, as advertised by Mr. S. S. SOLOMONS, Superintendent of thc the North Eastern Rail Road, on another column. In ordor to reach these low rates, Mr. SOLOMONS carries the freight over his otvu Road at nominal figures. It brings down tho expense to about a fair charge, wcro there but one road traversed, and renders the ? Charleston market accessible to our poo I pie. TUE OLD ENGINE MADE NEW. Through the contributions of our chi? tons, and the Superintendence of Mr. A. W. SUDER, a marked improvement Us been wrought upon tho machino manned by thc Wide Awake Fire En? gine Company of Sumter. This Compa ny of our colored citizens deserves credit for tho zeal and interest manifested, *hen fires havo occurred, oven with an almost worthless machine to handle - .W that it has boen repaired-made to Illino like a new one, und to throw a trcara over any ot our Sumter steeples, *c doubt not greater efficiently still will h brought to bear.

SON, of Charleston, for a copy of the proceedings of the South Carolina State Sunday Sohool Convention, held in Trinity Ohurob, Charleston, on the 12th, 13th and 14th of May last. It embra oes 126 pages, in handsome pamphlet form, from the press of Messrs. WALK?

Mr. ROBSON has been at muoh pains to seoure the publication of this impor? tant matter. It is now ready for de* livery and all interested may prooure oopies on application to him, at Char? leaton. TO BB AVOIDED. When speakers on both sides alternate addresses to a mixed orowd, it tends to disorder* When one side ia evidently getting the best of the argument, the other is tempted to quash proceedings with a riot. Henoe tho Scott ring re? sorted to bricks at Chester, whon they were getting the worst of the debate. Let each side hold its own meetings, and address the aaaie people at different times. A mixed programme must lead to trouble and ehould be avoided. The Union Reform wants order and honesty. The Soottites evidently prefer the oppo? site. SOUTH CAROLINA OENTBAL RAH BOAB. SUMTER, S. C., August 18 1870. Tho annual meeting of the Stookhodl ors of the South Carolina Central Hail Road Company, was held this day.

A number of our farmers and planter: have told us that they intend to givt tho day (Aug 81st) to the colored people and furnish thom transportation to th? Mass Meeting at Sumter. We urge this course generally. j FATAL DUEL IN SAVANNABL The usual quiet of the *clty y cs ter da; was seriously disturbed by tho announce ment that a duel had beon fought in tin vicinity of the city, at 7 o'clock a. tv betweon two well known gentlemen. I was not until a later hour, half pas too, that thc affair was fully made knowi by the fact one of the principles, Mi Ludlow Cohen, was 6rought to the city and to his residence, wounded fatally ii the encounter. Tho principals to this fatal affair wer Captain Riobard F. Aiken, a gentlema well known in tho community, and Mi Ludlow Cohen, a merohaut of the oit equally well known, and both of thei highly esteemed and rospeotod. We ar unable to state tho causes leading t this "code," except from universal rc port, whioh bases the difficulty upon private quarrel between the two gentle men named, which oould not, it seemi be adjusted without a resort to tb field. ' The gage of the battlo was throw down by Mr. Aiken and readily accepts by Mr. Cohen. Between six andsevc o'clock, Thursday evening, the partie accompanied by their respective second; a few friends, and two surgeons, prc ceeded to Dr. Reed's plantation, liv miles from the oity, on the August road, and at six o'olook yesterday mon i og. they repaired to the field seloote for the fight. The ground was staked off, th distanoe, twelve paean, measured?

After vauarr rx ?aa trlel, li ?till reeePrinj moat unqualified testimonials to Ita virtues,from peraona of tho highett ehareeter and responsibil? ity. Pbyeiohaaa of the drat respectability, recom-1 mend it as a molt effectual preparation for the .ztinoUoa of pain. It la not only the beat reme? dy ever known for Brutaea, Oula, Bama, Ac, but | for Dyaentery or Cholera, or any aort of bowel complaint, it ia a remedy unsurpassed for efficien? cy and rapidity of aotion. In the great cit los of India, and other hot climatea, H baa become the Standard Medicine for all aooh complaint?, ea well aa for dyspepsia, Livor Complaints, and other kiudred disorders. For Coughs and Colds, Can? ker, Asthma, and Rhenmatio difficulties, it baa been proved by the moat abundant and convino, ing Uatimony, to be aa invaluable medicine. Sold by all Druggist?.

Canker or dry rot does not bleat a troo as auddenly aa a stroke of lightning, but unleas arreated, it destroys it I aa certainly ; and in like manner ohroniw debility although it does not kill with the swiftness of I yollow fever, ia aa aure to aap the springs of life 1 eventually aa any aeute disease, if not chcoked by invigorating medication. There is something 1 inexpressibly touching in the apootuole of prema? ture decay. Languor, pallor, emaciation, depres? sion of spirits, and a distaste for oxertion, are its ordinary aymptoma, and they ahould be promptly met by tonio treatment. The beat invigorant and exbilarant that oan be adminiaterod in a oaae of this kind ia Hoatettor'a Stomach Bittora. The stimulating prinoiplo of the preparation rouses the dormant .energies of the ayatom, and the strengthening and regulating proportiea give permanent and healthful impulso to the vital forces thus brought into play. Tho failing appe? tite is re awakened, the process of digestion and assimilation aro quickened, the qunlity of the blood ia improved, the secretions become moro I natural, and every organ that contributes to tho | I nooriahment of the body undergoes salutary change. By theso moana tho repair of tho phy s ioal struoture is effootod and Its boaltb and vigor j rostorcd. In no olass of diseases baa the bon ?fl cent operation of the Bitters been more marked and atriklng than in thora characterized by gen oral debility and norvoua prostration. Ladies affected with these alimenta find in' this most | wholesome of all tonios and correctives the saf? est and surest moana of reliof. It ia strong to restore and powerless to injure Such is the uniform testimony of olouds of witnesses.1 New Advertisements.
