We direct special attention to the I card of this firm in another column.- | They are enterprising and reliable Charleston men, always ready promptly and efficiently to serve their friends in the interior. NEW GOODS. Capt. E. C. GREEN reached home, from New York, on Monday labt, and his house already has in store, (and what is almost ns essential, has adver? tised in the columns of the Watchman,) a complete stock of Fall and Winter Goods. The trade opens briskly, and there is already a rush to their store. PAYING HILLS. A friend says to us : "A man who is owing him a little bill said he would call last week and pay it if he was alive, ile still appears on the street, but as he did not call it is naturally supposed he is dead, and is walking around to save funeral expenses." Dg&, We have been informed by the Captain of tho colored Militia Company at this place, that at no time was it con? templated to parado his men on the oc? casion of tho recoot Reform mass meet, ^ng^apji that no order or advice to oarry ^;,...imunition on that day were ?iven, and that ho desired to conform strictly to the law. .?? BQi. The Columbia Phonix of Friday last says : "We learn that the mass| meeting at Sumter Court House, on the 31st ult., was a great success. Thc crowd was immense, and Messrs. Car? penter, Butler and Kershaw spoke with marked effect. iga, The Clarendon Press, of Thurs? day last, contains an article of some length, in complimentary allusion to j tho Academy of Mrs. HATTIE T. LE GRAND,at Manning. Mrs. Dr.HERNANI HUGGINS nod Rev. D. W. CUTTINO arc associated with Mrs. LEGRAND. Wc beg to add our word of commenda? tion of this school. Cga. We learn from the Clarondon Press, that tho first bale of new cotton for that county was brought to Manning on the 27th ult., by our friend Col. J.j J. CONYERS, and shipped by Mr. J. TAYLOR STUK.ES, olerk for Mr. M.| JACOBS. PRMVIOUS TO^THB ld BUTING On Wednesday last, it was rumored that W. E. JOHNSON, tho colored Senator | of Sumter County, had said that Judge CARPENTER should not speak here. It is but justice to say that JOHNSON utterly denied, to us, having made suoh a speech, and expressed his determination to endeavour to preserve peace and order on that occasion, and that this was his course throughout tho meeting. ggft, We learn that Mrs. HOWARD CALDWELL is about to opon a boarding and day school for girls at Atlanta. She is a lady of rare accomplishments -such as must secure her success. a?- There was a Reform barbecue at Duncan's Creek, in Newberry County, on the 24th. Ampio arrangements wero| made to serve the physical wants of the citizens, and Y. J. Pope, Esq., of New? berry, Rov. Mr. Jonas Byrd, Mr. J. M. Calmes and Rev. G. B. Tucker, spread before tbe peoplo, and especially the colored people, in glowing and tolling terms, many of tho crimes, plunders, deceits and malignities of thc Scott Ring. Several hundred persons wero present. WELL DONE, EDO BFI IC I. O 1 Tho last number of that noble sheet The Edgefield Advertiser-contains re? ports of the organization and proceed? ings of ttcclve Union and Reform Clubs. This is all contained in one issue of the paper! Gen. BUTLER told ns, the otb or day, that Edgefield, with its heavy colored majority, would bo carried by the Reform movement. The number and activity of her Clubs givo un tho reason. FHO?HKS? OW THU ????Hf ?OTB. - nuunr* . , 8?Doe oar last issue, extensive anajtf, meetings b?*? jfcj?ia tield, m vart?us? sections of the mitfdle portion of thtffj Stute, th? people responding to the call with the tame carnee toes* which mark? ed the great gatherings of tee uj country, and tb? canvass, throughout the State, as we gath or ' from bar esobanges, is being conducted witb e spirit which has not be^n'eqtialbsd since the war. Io almost every county, organizations hare been effected, which embrace tho great rcase"of the respectable and intel? ligent white citizens and a greater ot smaller number of the better, class of the colored people. Ia this respect, the unanimity is almost unparalleled. There bas certainly b/jen unpolitical movement in the State, since the war, which bas enlisted the active co operation of so large a majority of the better elemente of the people. Tbe election in behalf of SEYMOUR and BLAIR did not so thoroughly move the masses. Where objeotiona were entertained, and, at first urged, in other portions of the State, because of the platform, both on the part of the press and individuals, the vitally hurtful tendency of urging such objections has been seen, and noble patriotism has indueed a deoided stand and earnest words and actions in favor of the movement. Thia has been the case with the Yorkville Enquirer, Anderson Intelligencer, Darlington Dem ocr at, Chest erGold Democrat and George town Times, until, now, there is bat ono solitary paper in the State, not professedly Radical, that is not in ? ac cord with the movement in behalf of poaoe and harmony and for the redemp tion of the State. We call upon our people to cast aside their prejudices and join in with the good people throughout the State who are engaged in this great struggle for honest govornment The matter is in their hands. The response of the col? ored people has been such as to put to silenoe the main argument which has been used by our impracticable friends. The colored maa will oomo with us, and go with us and stay with us, if we approaoh him, as a people, in the proper spirit. This has been abundantly eliminated, already, in this canvass. Many of the colored people are far more ready to como to us than aro some of our people to receive them, or to encourrge them in so doing. But the good work is going on. The two peoples cannot remain hostile to eaoh other. Upon tho platform now adoptod in the State, there must be growing harmony, until we shall witness the two races working together for tho common good. OUR NATIVE ARTIST. The numerous friends and admirers Mr. ALBERT QUERRY will be gratified to learn that he has recently rcooived a communication from Gen. ROBERT E. LEE, calling him to Virginia, in Octo? ber next, for tho purpose of painting a life size portrait. This is a high com? pliment to Mr. GUERRY, as an artist, and wo make record of it with the additional pleasure inspired by the faot that he is a South Carolinian and one of Sumter's sons. Mr. QUERRY, for some time past, hos made Gieenville his home, whero he has so exhibited his talont, in his beautiful profession, as to call forth encomiums from thc press and people of j that highly cultivated community. We learn that he has commissions for several portraits of G en. LEE, and have but little doubt ho will succeed in creating a work of historic charaotcr. His portraits of Hon. RICHARD YEA? DON and OTIS MILLS, Esq., of Charles? ton, have been highly complimented by oritics, and have taken their places as among the most highly prized of the family collection. We learn that Mr. QUERRY will be at ! Sumter about the first of October, en route for Virginia. Our best wishes attend this rising young artist. 8BNSIBI1B. The Courier Journal, in summing up tho results of the election in Kentucky, which shows that not a single county was carried by the Radicals, has the following liberal and sensible words tottohingthe colored raoe: "If we cease " to make the negro question a party " question, and go to work kindly and " patiently to improve tho mental, "moral and physioal condition of the " blaoks, they will ceaso to bo a dis " turbaooe and become an industrious " and possibly ? prosperous class." This courso pursuod by every respect? able whito man in South Carolina, would bring a complete chango of the present situation, even as the result of | the pending eleotion. A COSTLY DISPATCH. The Tribuue, of Thursday, says its dispatch giving aa aeooaot of the battle of Gravelotte, fought on the 18th of] August, which was published id our j issue of the 81st, oost $2,280 in gold, for the mere transmission from London to New York, besides the oost of ar special courier from tbe battle field through I Alsace, Rhenish Prussia and Bolgiutn to London', ead the pay of the corres? pondent himself. re<>eutiy held. oe?ho tTumbling Shotts Circuit, io the upper edge of laurens fettttfk make^^?fc^ig, ex? tract, wh^b is in reference to the moot? ing po Sunday night : ... . ;T JoV?tallon to abroach?tho altar wes. gladly sod.promptly accepted by followers of the Lord Jesus' for years/ shouted their heart?' gladness in joyful notes of thanksgiving. We cannot help ?arning ?oie aged Bro.

Good old mon, may his re? ward ha great. It was a good timo, full of refreshing. The altar enolosure soon being fall, the Presiding Elder on one side, the Ber. Mr. Carlisle on the other, the Ber. ?. A.. Darby, Bro. Jones, with locks silvcied- by three score and ten yeats, and .the atraoge preacher in tbs centre, eaoh 'appealing and inviting penitents to kassi just where they were, for they could approach no nearer, bi ought scores and scores to a prostrate position. Never have we seen so many down at ose time ; nsvor waa heard snob heartfelt and heart full songs of praise ; such deep and fer von t prayers, as were ottered during the time thus occupied. It was not possible to ascertain the full results bf this meeting, but thst it was a great harvest time for the Church, and a precious season to very many, there is no doubt. H?DICAL MRETTNG AT DARLING? TON. Tbo Darlington Democrat, of tho 31st ult., says : This long expected meeting was held here to-day. To oall it a failure is to do tho party no injustice. Little or no enthusiasm was exhibited by the au? dience, which numbered about two hundred. It was quiet and orderly ; not a single interruption occurred. Speeches were made by Messrs. Hausier, Rainey, Worthington, Whitte? more and other lesser lights. Whitte? more sang a song to the tune of "marohing along." The chief object of the several speakers seems to have been, to embitter the colored people against .their former owners. The Southerner, which is published in tho interest of Whittemore and his party generally, admits that "the audience was not extremely large," which it says was "owing to the fact that many wero compelled to remain at home to attend to their farming inter? est." It is certainly a significant sign, and an omon of better days, if the colored people stay at home to look ofter their farming interests in preference to attending rad ?cul meetings. And what aro we to think, when thc eloquence of the great apostle and high priest of the Biog-the "distinguished" Wbitte* more himself-fails to draw a orowd right at his own homo, where, ol course, he must he best "known'* and most "admired ?" JOS. H. RAINBY* Speaking of the nomination of J. H. Rainey for Congress, the Georgetown limes says : This we regard as a signal triumph of decency over the corrupt carpet bag clement which has ruled, and well nigh ruined this State * * * Jos. II. Bainey deserves not only the support of his party but the thanks of all honest and decent men. The Horry News says : From so staunch au opposition poper to Radicalism as the Times is, the above is decidedly a strong endorsement, but nos tronger than Bainey justly merits. We of Horry, have acooptcd the priooiplos of the Beform Party, and to act up to them it is our embounden duty to support the Hon. J. H. Bainey for Congress. [From the Charleston News.] TUB WAY TUB IV ON BY OOE8. When tho aot to organize the State militia was put in operation, Miss Kate Rawlins, a comely mulatto woman, (sister of Mrs. Whipper, we believe,) was appointed by General Moses to bea derk, or an assistant of some kind, in the military bureau, with a salary of $75 a month. The appointment was made by order of his Excellency Gov? ernor Scott, whoso flying trips from Columbia to Charleston with the same Miss Rawlins, two years ago, were noticed in the publio prints. For tho first nine months tho new appointee re* coived, with commendable regularity, her pay of two dollars and a half a day; but about tbreo months ago the salary was increased to $100 a month. Will General Moses inform tho publio whether this young lady of color has ac? tually dodo a week's work in tho depart.-, ment since her appointment? Wo are told that Gooeral Moses has boon heard to say that sho has not dono a day's clerical work in twelve months. This spiteful remark may, however, boacoun? ted for by tho circumstances that tho private assistant of General Moses (also a mulatto woman) draws no salary. Mies Bawlins is jestingly known iu tho Ring ns "Mayor" Rawlins ; and Assis? tant Adjutant General Elliott has ad? dressed a letter to hor by that titlo. But wo do not infer that she actually bolds the official rank. We have been thus specific in the charge that Miss, or Major Bawlius is paid ons hundred dollars a month for doing nothing, in order that the publio may Know the way tho money goos, and may understand, bosides, what a pleasant thing it is to be a favorite of the Ring.

"Do you call this a cheap house, Mr. Smith," replied young Jones, "Well I don't. It hasn't got a saab, thoro aro no banistors to the stairs, and the doors are so moan they will swag so in a year that it will be almost impossible to open and shut thom.
