UNWHITTKN WAU lllbTOKY. Th<- I'/<jcume%t that Mr. /oueoh} Prijmred ji.ckifwlrthjintf Ut? />uif/>i'tut?nr? of lit SoutJi? W'uj Another teat Stj'stituted, Wasuinuton. September 22.?1? the dark uud uncertain days proceeding the outbreak of the rc'iclliotii there was much doubt in the mind of Mr. Lincoln regarding the disposition of the people north of tho recognized dividing line botwe.'i !Veodoui and slavery to sustain aggressive meus ires for tins preservation of tho Union.? State after State had seceded, and no demonstration had been made at tho North to counteract, tho lotce of huch movements ut tiic South. On the e.tnuarv. thero were public men who open ly advocated a division of the Union into such parto as would suit geographical lines and their own interests and ambition. Notably, Mr. Hendricks favored a Northwestern Confederacy; nouic New Yorkers saw in the confusion of the lime? uu opportunity to make their city the Venice of America, and sotuo Califoruians thought a republic on tho Pacific, with Sun Praiuioco for its commercial and political capital, would develop into mighty proportions before'he end of the century, lioraco Greeley bad advocated in lite Tribune peaceable separation, and boldly proclaimed, "Let the erring sisters go in peace." The ludiniiapolis Journal in th ) West, iuspirod by an umbition to "take n position," occupied the satno ground. _ The Northern States sent peace commissioners to Washington to [dead with the South for a peaceable s anion of the difficulties and a maintenance of the Union. The government under Mr. lJuchan .1 did nothing to repress the military prcparu.ions in the South, and when Ml. Lincoln m .id,\?MtyliifUta:W m tratio.. had a most formidable opposition in the two remaining States that seceded, and in (host also ihat attempted to do so. His support ul k * the North, in the event of war, he regarded at uncertain, and anarchy appeared inevitable. In ihis condition of affairs commissioners up pointed by Governor I'iekens, ot South Carolina, appeared on the scene, and through Judgi Campbell, then late of the Supreme Court, win had resigned on the secession of Louisiana, coin.nepeel ii negotiation ior uic surrcuucr u that 3Mio of the government forts and property within its limits. Tlio commissioners were also ai 'ed by Doctor Todd, of Kentucky, a broth u cr ot Mrs. Lincoln, who was in harmony with the viuws and actions of South Carolinians.? lie was a temporary habitant at tlic White House, and acquired information in a private way that no ono cuuld liaro obtained in un official capacity, aud which * was made use of as time and circumstances required. The negotiations of South Carolina with the government failed, not because of an iudispositiou to entorfniVi Ihb'ftvopotqi'mp. su^piilfcedv *m< on account of the precip t.'arniina troops iif bvmhhrdinj' Fort tSurilter.? ? - - This made a peaceable dissolution of the Union a matter of impossibility and war an iucvituble necessity. While these negotiations were pending, however, a proclamation had been prepared recognising the fact of tbo secession of certain States aud virtually acknowledging their independence, surrendering to them stated powers ot the general go vernffient ever properly and places within their limits, and guaranteeing them peaceable possession of the same on conditions specified. This proclamation had the sanction of Mr* Wade, of Ohio* ntul was in accordance with Mr. Greeley's frequently expressed views. With the appearance of the proclamation was to be an editorial in the Washington and New York papers sustaining the action of tlie administration.? This was also prepared and held ready for use wheu the occasion demanded it. 15ut thcactiou at Fort Sumter changed all this, utid a proclauia tion was issued instead for 75,001) men for three gb'i*pt*d -wy rgbv ym pie. The proclamation calling for troops is a mat tsr of history ; that previously prepared looking to peace is not, and its existence must he pro vet from other sources than official records. The evidence trn which it rests is the following state meat: Mr. A. T. Cavis, a proof-reader at the govern meni printing office, is a gentleman of intclli pence aud culture, and of undoubted veracity, He it a native of Pennsylvania, but wont ti Soul!i Carolina in 1S47, and remained until after the war. Previous to, ami during the war, lie was editor of the South Carolina Guardian, published at Columbia.

Todt while at the White House, aud by him given ti quire into emu now.?mii iiiiu urrnnfeiiwui't^ mil ilriift of the proclamation, that it nuil tin editorial designed to accompany its publicatioi were written 011 oflicial paper hearing the ini press "Executive Mansion," is undoubtedly true. The proclamation and editorial wen shown by Ciov. Pickens to Mr. Cavis, und by tin latter published in his paper, the South Carolina (iiurdiiin. la the burning of Columbia by Sherman's troops the oilice and files of the Guardian were destroyed, and there is no copy of the paper extant containing those documents. The original papers, however, are in the possession of Mrs. Pickens, at Edgefield, S? t'., who ' haifcarefully preserved all tlie books and man' useripts collected by her late husband. 'ibis ism. most important and interesting fact connected with the unwritten history of the rebellion. It shows how dilficult it was even foi the most sagacious men to "rend the signs of tin times," and the events following proved that the people knew more than their rulers and as tunned leaders. A Novki. Phoposition hiom'Govkrxok Ha.mT TOM. ? A Washington dispatch states that (hi Government has received two propositions from Governor Wade Hampton to collect whatcvei tax tMo United States may claim should bo paid by South Carolina and turn it over to the General Government. This curious offer arose in |^ic course of the movement of the commissioner ? of internal revenue against illicit distillers in South Carolina. These gave Governor Hampton much annoyance, and finally lie tent word that ferthc purpose of avoiding all such troubles as theirfiien pending, he would agree, if the Government was willing, to held himself responsible for whatever sum it migbt decide should bo puid by South Carolina on account of internal revenue and collect it nud pay it over. Tiib Potter or Waiik Hampton, as freshly illustrated every day, ought to bind tlio colored people to Iti 111 by books of steel, and win for ikim the respect j?nd confidence of the whole country.

This ohl man died at l.is residence noar this Ittvn on Monday the 2Ud ult., aged about 80 years, after a long and severe illness from cancer. He was know throughout the couu'y, as the Court Crier for the past five or six years.? lie w?? ulso the Village Grave Digger, having dug nearly all the graves of those who have died in this town for nearly Iwcuty-five years. Although he moved in the humblest splier# aad was quite eeentric in his ways, he was a sober and honorable man, as was evidence' 1 by ' the laram nurnlntr of enr best citizens who pnid ihp Ittfd trid tiles to his remains. The Merchants' Profit* ill Cotton. One would suppose, on hearing some people mmplain of the Mercliuuts of tliis town for tlio jprices they pay and their monitor of buying Cotton, thai Cotton buying was a profitable business. There never was a more mistaken idea ever entertained. No merchant in this tcWli has made a dollar on the Cotton he lias purchased in the past three'years. On tlio contrary, all have lost money on thffr cotton purchases. One uicr?g??n"'l wc know it to bo We frutli?(tint his firui lost, last year, the value of ,40 bales upon their purahaaes, while another firm bus lost $l0,U00on Cotton tlio past three years ; and we know that not a dollar has been made on u bale of Cotton bought here, so far,*this season. Unfortunately for this town and our merchants particularly,?notwithstanding wc nave coniriuutcd more money towards building railroads tlmu any pcoplo around us?the advantages given to adjoining towns, in freight on Cotton, keep regular Cotton buyers away from our mnrkct, f'hich compels our Merchants to become cotlou buyers also. In other towns cotton buycrsVroin the large cities or marts locate during thu seustn. They buy all the coltou and, ot course, Incur all the losses, if any, while the merchants contjne themselves to their legitimate business of selling goods?running few if any j Not tl?o ureishimn or . UnToa/they-?n foVcccf to go into the colli n market, for self preservation, and, as a consequence, have to bear all the complaints universally bestowed upon cotton buyers by the faimcrs, sutler all tlio losses, in weight anil price, on Cotton, and thus drive grumbling customers from their stores and cripple themselves, linaucially, besides. Cotton buying, iu our opinion, is a separate uiul distinct business from regular incrchandisiug ; it is a dangerous speculation in which more first buyers lose thaiuiuake money, and froni which regular merchants should stear ckar. It cuts with two edges?one incurs the curses of the seller, tho other cuts deep into the profits of regular merchandise buaiuess. Taking this view of the matter, we are not so sure but it would bo better for our merchants if they refused to buy a bale of cotton, buttiend (.?.11 their energies xo competing with other markets iu the price of g"&ods lcr saTe. " It would be better to lose a little on goods than a great .deal ou Cotton. On the one hand their customers could not complain, 011 tltc other they would know when to stop, or whereto save themselves. No men ' in tJLid- county has done more 'to please the farmers than our inerol^uls,. and today they are payiug higher prices for cotton mail IB surrouuuing iinti'scis :111a soiling noons quite us low, if act lower. Unwritton Wat Hiitory. lu our coluuiAs this week will be found ru Article?apparently a telegraphic despatch from Washington?with the above heading. The "unwritten history" may be true, and if so, Mrs. L'ickens may be induced to produce the . documents in corroboration of Mr. Cavis' statement, which will settle the matter to the satis in the article. Mr. Cavis never was Editor of the Southern Guardian, lie was at one time Foreman of 1110 Painting office. Mr. C. P. Tellium was the Editor and proprietor of the Guartiian "previous to and during the war." After , the Confederate Government removed its noteprinting department from Piebmoud,?in 1802, we think ? Mr. Cavis was nppoiutcd one of the "examiners" of the sheets, after they were printed, and contiuucd in that position until he went North with Sherman's army, llavingbeen well aud intimately acquainted with Mr. Cavis for a long time before aud during the war, we can hardly believe that he would hazard the assertion that he was ever Editor of the Guardian. Nor do wo remember that he held, during the ?.j r?* V" ?- V..K;vo him such an "Acquaintance and Association ^ _with the State authorities" as to entitle him to mcnT7~T_ayyet atl'airs of the governDeath of Thos. C. Jotor. This venerable und most estimable cliw.?n passed into eternity on Saturrtny last, tho zocti ult., after a short illness of one week, from disease of the heart, lie had attained to the venerable age of 77 years, and was always held in highest esteem by his neighbors and acquaintances. Although a ntan of intelligence and popularity, lie never aspired to official position, preferring the svclusion and comforts of a Farmer's life and home, lie was a man of sound judgment, pure morals and stern integrity.? Through frugality and industry he had gathered together a valuablcjtroporty, w hich lie managed I with intelligence and skill. His death will be | seriously felt by a very large circle of devoted friends. He loaves art uged and devoted wife, one son ninl five daughters, to mourn tlie loss of a kind an 1 indulgent husband and father.? llis funeral was the largest that has been known for many years in the ncghhorhood of Suntuc. Township Meetings. It is very essential that the public meetings in the several townships bo as large as possible. Kvcry ouc who possibly can, should feel it to be bis or her duty to be there. Surely one day eau bo devoted at this time to consult with the candidates and listen to words of wisdom and advice upon the present and future welfare of the State, to assist in permanently establishing a wise and economical government and defeating, for all time to come, the party which litis robbed, oppressed and disgraced us. In a word, let everybody turn out to the township meetings determined to complete the great work of Home Rule ami Reform so uohly commenced in 187G. Who Takes the Offer 1 We will give one year's subscription to the Tunt* or any other two dollar paper, to tho person in Union County who will certify that ho got 10.00 cents, caxh, per pound for a hale of cotton, in Spartanburg, on Friday last. In order that our proposition may not be misunderstood we i distinctly state that the sale must have been ir| respective of any debt or any other equivalent i (linn cosli. ? 0 9 Put on Your Bed Shirts. A . In all the great pulueal demons!rations made in the Counties where political meetings linte been lately held, processions of mounted men in Hed Shirts have formed a most conspicuous feature. In fact it is now oonccded that no democratic meeting in this State is complete and fully up to the standard of democratic enthusiasm unless a majority of its attendants show the badge of distinction?the red shirt. In Ilaruwell, Aiken, Colleton, and other of the lower Comities, the red shirt democrats were omspicuous, while in Laurcus, Abbeville, Greenville and other of the upper Counties, the processions of mounted democrats have added much to the cntuhsiasm ns well as the attractions of the meetings. Union must not be out of fashion in that respect. A red shirt costs but a trifle, and any democrat can afford to buy one. It is no useless expenditure of money, for after the campaign is over it can be used cither by the men or made into hn under garment to keep tltc wu>y warm. 11 win nui oe iusi, lur me Ladies know how to put red tlanncl to good use. As the township meetings in this County will commence on Wednesday next, the 11th inst., we suggest that the candidates set the example by wearing red shirts, that the members of the clubs, particularly, and all other active democrats attend those meetings in that democratic garment. ir generally adopted at the township meetings, we shall be prepared to make one of the most, imposing demonstrations at the Grand rallying meeting of the whole County, at this place, on the iioth of this month, to greet the noble Hampton and other State candidates and speakers. \ The County Fair. We hope everybody is preparing something for exhibition at our next Fair. From what wc can learn there will be a better exhibition of Animals, Field, Garden and Orchard products, than has ever been seen in this County, and wc arc cjntidcnt the Ladies of Union will increase their efforts to make their several departments creditable to their own skill and an honor to the County. The ever active Sccrlary is doing everything in his power to make the occasion not merely creditable but higlilj- satisfactory. The Prcmi im list is liMWfl. in every way,''and bare been nidcreil. It now onlv remains for the people to do their full part towards making the Fair a great sucecs, by filling tho various departments with the productions of their intell'g ace and faho r since tho last exliibitou, and I by dcToting a day or ftvo in mingling with and learniug souiethiug profitable from the experience of their fellow citizens from other psFrts of tho County. Last year the Fair at Union was pronounced, by those who had visited other County Fairs, the finest they had attended, both in the quality and quantity of lite exhibition, and in the interest manifested by tho people.? The next exhibition will be better, in all respects, than tho last, and wc hopo to see even a greater interest taken in it by all classes ot our people. *?rrao ot rcoal itstattrit UnTofi. ~ The Auditor has kindly provided us with tin following Abstract of the Heal l'ropcrty o Union County, as returned the Auditor, t< Equalized by the County Hoard of Kqualizatior and reported by the Auditor to the Comptrollc: General, Sept. ol), 1878 .

Editor u?l take it that yuft feel an in* 2 tcrest, in the iirospcrity of the people amongst whom you liavc east your lot and will bo willing to lend your columns for the ventilation of opinions pro bono publico. 1 have heard a good deal said, pro and con, oH the fence question since the no fence scheme was thrown overboard in the County and I incline to the opiniou that many persons have changed thoir minds upon this momentous?(I use the term advisably) question. I am almost certain tiiat public opinion is drifting in the right direction, and all that is necessary is to bring it up for discussion before the people. Aud hero let mo say, from a farmer's stand-point, it is a question of more importance to the country than tho State University, the Phosphate bill or bond commission. The heaviest tar upon tho farmer is his louco and it grows heavier and heavier every day of his life, for iiis timber is getting scarcer, his labor less etllcieut, his transporting facilities no better.

Neighborhood hiokerings, pitiful lawsuits aud personal collisions, would soon (YidQmt after " fences disappeared. I have known more neigh, bors to fall out about across fence, a lino feHco, or a copartnership fence, than about anything else connected with the plantation. \ou published in a lute number of the Txmbs an account of tlie revolution the abolition of fences had brought about in Anderson, how tho poorer classes, who were at first meat biliek-ly opposed to it, wcro now its strongest advocates. i 1 chanced during the past summer to spond 4 a few weeks over lite' river and I heard the same opinions expressed there. The colored laborer said he could lead his cow out when he went to work and tic her at a branch or in the fence corners and she cauic home full at night, aud site was always at home out uf mischief, aud (ho children didn't have to spend half the time looking for hor. I heard it said there was more milk and butter than ever had been in the ceunty and less complaints of depredatious by cattle, or quarrels between neighbors about fences 1 aud mischievous stock breaking through enclosures. 1 was particularly struck with the pcarance of things about Chester C.
