. '1 ? mm m wmm - 1,1 bo in the Convention, one delegate for every i twenty white voters of Union County. The Convention will meet and nominate the candidates and adjourn ih a day. No time will be gi von for strong animosities to arise. The candidates nominated by suoh a Convention would receive the hearty and enthusiastic support of all the dels gates to the Convention. (And such * a Convention would be- sure te nominate oan' didates acceptable to tbe people.) This would boa powerful check upon independent candidates. Defeated candidates for the nomination before such a convention would not, unless of a very confiding disposition, be easily persuaded to expect ,any strong support in a race against the regular nominees. By order of the Committed, WILLIAM MUNRO Chairman. ' fPk? Dt.^a >u* lltut. am interesting! letter. Washington, I). C., May 20, 1878. Trios. B. Jeter, Esq. Dear Sir :?The leaves you sent are too well grown to make the best of tea, with the exccpiiou of the smaller oues. The leaves of the ten plant seem to change somewhat as they iucre- se ? in thickness and liuve not the same aromatic |H flavor they have when very young and tender, ^^uhut any leaves that will curl readily upon being ^H^'wilted oy heat and rubbed ia the hands, or that HhwAMHrtlokj UV guuiujy tbt&e^twtioh when thusJ11 [Hft-ubbed, will make good tea. The practice in I^^Khina and Japan as wall as eur own, is to pick S^Attly the teuder leaves as they come out, piticliSRig off two or three pairs of leaves at the end " "of the twig before they are fully grown, j\ send | you a newspaper containing an articlo on the mode of curing the leaves, so that you can prepare tea for y. ur own use, much better than you can purchase in any store, tep that would Command one dollar per pound readily. When you have made tea according to the directions in this article put it in a perfectly dark place and in a vessel that does not communicate any odors from anything pteviously in it. 1 will be glad if you will send me samples of it that 1 may iufortn you what is wanting in your procc-s. Always bear in mind that tea ; will absorb every odor it may come in contact with, aud also that smoke will ruin it. A' very good article of tea is made by taking the leaves green and warming them on a very clean piece ..i a., it... .i ? Ul luuinl VYCI u tkCUl 11101 I lion puv IIIVUI 111 ? tea pot anil draw at once. In making tea it is best to have a pan used expressly and ouly for firing the leaves; Tor this purpose a sheet iron pan, such as is commonly sold, or a Russia sheeted iron pan will answer. The first batcli of lea will not be so good as the second and subsequent batches. If you wish for more tea plants to extcud your orchard or hedge, I will be pleased to supply you.

While the Emperor was taking a drive at halfpast 2 o'clock this afternoon some shots, apparently proceeding from a house iu the Avenue Uuter der-Linden, wcro fired at him. The Emperor was wounded in one arm and on the cheek by buckshot and small shot. The arsassin is a L>r. Nobelgen, occupying apartmeuts at No. 18 Unter-der-Linden. The {imperor was conveyed to bed and several shot were extracted, causing great loss of blood. Ukklin, Juno 2?11 P. M.?Tho following is taken from the official accounts and bulletins published in regard to the attempted assassination of the Emporor : Nobelgen fired twice with a double-barrel gun. The Emperor received about thirty small shot in the face, head, both arms and back, but by about G o'clock this evening, his general condition had already improved in a satisfactory manner. An immense crowd frotn nil parts of tho city thronged u^o tho Avenue Unter-der-Linden on the news becoming known. The assassin is Karl Edward Nobelgen, a na live 01 Kuiino, near uernoaum, agoir thirty-two years, lie is a resident of Berlin, a doctor of philology, an agriculturist, and a habitue of Democratic Socialist clubs, lie fired 011 the persons attempting to an est him with a heavy loadod revolver, and then inflicted severe wounds in his own head. lie confesses the crime, but ^obstinately refuses to stnto his motive. Effeots Truly Wonderful. Cautkksvillk, Ga., April 26, 18C9. This will certify that iwo members of my immediate family, after having suffered for many years from menstrual irregularity, and having been treated without beucfit by various medical doctors, were at length completely cured by one bottle of Dr. J. Brad field's FEMALE REGULATOR. I therefore deem it my duty to furnish this certificate, with the hope of drawing attention of suffering woincnkind to the merits of a medicine whose power in curing irregular mid suppressed menstruation, has been proven under my own personal observation. Its effect on such cases is truly wonderful, and well may the remedy be called "Woman's Best Friend." Yours respectfully, JAS. W. STRANGE. For sale by all druggists and by A. IRWIN & Co., Union.

Patrick Henry, the prophet orator of Virginia, whose lightning brain disclosed to our futhers the perils of '76, aud whose thundering tones woke up the eohoes of Liberty throughout the old dominion and her sister Colonies, with Chief Justice Marshal, Virginia's great Jurist,? greater than Gamaliel or any other in History's long gallery?hare decided, as we kaT? said be* foie, that there is no obligation upon Us to pay the bonds of the old prostrate State. Civil Liberty and Civil Law, both proolnim aloud that botli the bonds aud the floating debts of the late usurpers and robbers, from Soott to CharaberJntn, never bad any obligation, save the duross of Grant's bayonets. God of justice, then, forbid that the upper Counties of South Carolina ever should become the "centre of such liberal ideas as would uiako them voluntary slaves, and their children after thorn victims of such infamous exactions. But, says the Netce ami Courier, the Democratic Party is solemnly pledged to pay to tho last ce it, these boud and debts. When, where aud bow was this pledge given, and by whom. It was not in tho consolidation uui, iut unit wm h rupuuiiuxm uci in conce(>ii<m nnd adoption ; and had not the war already forfeited and abrogated the. pnyineut of the old bonds, and (ho usurpation by the republican party of the State Government been without legal or moral obligation, this consolidation act would have been held-by honest men and honert judges a violation of contracts and a repudiation of honest debts, because it expunged oae-balf the old bonds, and more than half the new debts. It was not by Uie-ooovention ealled by Charlfcb<ton and nssemhled'in Columbia, that the democratic party was pledged to any such illegal and impossihlea consummation. For there and then not a tithe of that party was represented, and the farmers and producers and substantial tax payers, who own and'till the soil and man the shops and drive tlie machinery of the upper Counties, scarce knew that thcro was such a convention, and probably the main object of some of the movers for that convention?us the Xewi ami Courier may better klow?wns to unload themselves of the heavy weight of State bonds which they were carrying. By the pledge then and there given, burthens gricveous to be borne were removed ta tlie shoulders of others, who went down under their weight, to lament, like nil other victims of credulity. And it was not the Wallace house, which could have made any such pledge. They were struggling at the points of bayonet for their seals, and with them pledges and laws were of no obligation, and strategy, not ethics, guided their efforts for victory. Thu iniquitous war swept away the sovereignty of the State, and property of its citizens. It gave their dwellings to the flames and slaked their ashes in blood. Then came over this stricken land, like vultuies nnd buzzards, to pick what remained upon the carcass of the State, nnd to pierce nnd pull nt its vi'.nts, this so-called republican party; which left nothing but its fleshiess bones and dried up sinews. The divinity alone was left within our people, compared to what they had been: they have nothing more to give up, they have survived all these trials, and by hope supported and by God inspired they can recover, if lot alone and allowed ; but if again beset by their own friends, nnd in the name of the democratic party to yield their skeletons to Northern bond holders and their southern allies, to consign their children to the great curses of humanity, poverty and ignorance, they may have to submit, but should never consent. The city of Columbia might rise again from its ashes, nnd purify itself of the filth of the vile creatures who so long made it their camping ground nnd victim of their spoliatinn. The City of Charleston, whoso own citadel has for many years been the dwelling place of its oppressors, whence Canby and Sickles nroclaimcd mnrtlal edicts, closed ihcir Courts of justice, silenced the voice of Liberty in their midst, and excluded their helpless woman from their streets, by protecting black savage rioters there; and putting in possession of the City government the remorseless plunderers of the North, can only be restored by obliterating this deadly incubus, the debt of the cormorants, by wiping it out, in the way indicated above for ths State The labor of our hands and heads is anout all that is left us; the fruits of these the Neios and Courier appeals to the democratic party to take from us, and turn us out worse than sons of llagar, from the inheritance of humanity, a right to tho products of our own labor and yield them up to the destroyers of our government, the robbers of our property, the enemies of our civilization, in contempt of natural law and the eternal principles of justice and set forth, and settled, by the truth lovnig labors of Henry nnd of Marshall, and sustnined by the Judicial decision of Jay and Irodcll. This subject is a grave and fruitful ono. its treatment by the last Legislature, will be tho theme of my concluding article in your next paper. UP COUNTRY FARMER.
