Straps & Jfacts. It is understood at Washington that Gen. Lane will not return to Oregon to reside, but will go back to "the old North State" and seek the old roof-tree. It is said there is such a tremen dous crop of oats in Cumberland county, Illinois, that that they are selling for ten cents per bushel. It is feared that Gerrit Smith is going insane again, because he has divided 6200,000 among five of his relatives. The relatives, we guess, would call him rational. James S. Wadsworth, of Genesee, N. Y., has bet $20,000 with Dean Richmond that New York will give 40,000 majority for Lincoln in November. We learn that a party of sixteen free negroes, from Newberry District, passed through this dace on yesterday for Balti * - * V more, whence they will sail for Liberia.? South Carolinian, 28th nit. Two boys were about to fight a duel with pistols at Petersburg, Va., on Wednesday, about a girl. All the arrangements were made for the meeting, but their parents interfered, and gave each a sound thrashing. The Chicago Zouave Cadets have resolved to form a whole regiment of this style of military, to consist of eight companies, Col. Ellsworth to be the chief officer. The old company will be company A, and the rest B, C, &c., in the order of their organization. The Old Dominion is evidently preparing for the coming conflict. Not only is her Governor taking steps to arm the militia of the State, but through the proper authoriiies an order has been given to Col. Rice, of Philadelphia, for a quantity of his newly-invented explosive bumshells, represented as the most destructive agent of its kind known. ? j There is a young man, numeu iuai& Ralfe, at Bent's Fort, who was recently stabbed in three places, and shot three times, scalped, and left for dead by the Kiowa Indians, but who afterwards regained his consciousness and walked thirty-five miles to a place of safety and succor. He has now nearly recovered, but has only two locks of hair left upon his head, as all the rest was taken with the scalp.

Stone pestles, | small pieces of iron, hatchet handles, and!

If the consumption of printing paper be an evidence of the intelligence of a people, those of the United States should be the be3t informed in the world. In France, the yearly production averages about four pounds of paper per head; in 5 England, the average is four and three quarter pounds; and in the United States, it is quite thirteen and a half pounds per head. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: 1 have seen a letter trotn Gov. Letcher, stating, substantially, that in view of imminent danger of secession at the extreme Sooth, which result he deplores, he is putting Virginia io a state of ^preparation to prevent anything like force being brjught to bear against seceding States, by marching Government trocps through Virginia, <?c. At the ball given to Lord Renfrew at the New York Academy of Music, the Prince opened the dance with the lady of Gov. Morgan. She was an exemplar of A~ merican life, progress, industry. In her youth she was a poor girl, earniug her livlihood as a milliner's apprentice. Her up*(, ward growth is but a common specimen of " the strange but goodly incidents of republican life. The fabulous unicorn has been found by a traveler. He says it exists in the interior of Thibet, in India, where it is well known to the inhabitants. It is the same as the unicorn of the Scriptures, and is mentioned by ancient writers. It is oi/t tr. Ko oVirtnf tVio of thfi hnrsp and extremely wild. It is seldom if ever caught. They have a horn projecting out from their forehead. They go in herds, and are to be met with on the borders of the Great Desert. The San Francisco Pony Express has arrived, with dates from Oregon to the 10th instant. The Senatorial election took place on the 2d. Nesmyth, a Douglas Democrat and Baker, a Republican, were elect ed. These gentlemen were the candidates of the non-intervention Republican fusion party. An emigrant train of 46 persons was massacred by the Snake Indians. But i single member of the party survives. Th( majority of the emigrants were women anc children. We see from oar exchanges tha the organization of "Minute-Men" is rap idly extending. A meeting was held ii Abbeville, on the 15th instant, at whicl it was resolved to form eight companies o minute men, each selecting its own officers and that so soon as they have been formed each with sixty men, they organize as j regiment. It was further resolved tha they arm, drill and prepare thoroughly fo active service. The movement is seconde< by the most prominent men of Abbeville.

The Abbe Laborde has invented a apparatus for registering sounds much lea costly than any hitherto made. The inven tion is interesting, since it is a step towan the invention of machines which shall grad ually advance from registering sounds t registering syllables and words. As sooi as the wit of man has invented a machim as delicate as the human ear we shall bavi reporting machines. The idea is certainh far less astonishing than that of the daguer reotype before its invention. If the vibra tions of light, so much finer than those o: sound, are made to register themselves wit! such wonderful accuracy, why may not tb< vibrations of sound be made to do the same ] CIif ftorfeliillf Cwjmrer J edited bt SAM'L W.

M 1( INFANCY AND OLD AGE. j, Death, like the Great Master who sent him ,' lu into the world with his scythe, is no respecter of persons. The prince and the peasant must both ^ alike crouch at his feet, and acknowledge ^ his sceptre. "The young may die?the old must die." On graves how different, Are these down ta quivering, yellow leaves of Antumn nestling !? Some long ones beneath whose still-fresh sod ^ the gray-hairs of perhaps four score years are V1 sleeping; some tiny ones that hide forevelittle rosy lips where sparkled, then exhaled, the sc dewy smile of infancy. The young man rejoicing in the pride of his strength, goes forth to reap fKo fiairia nf human entemrise. but is himself re cut down, and gathered into the garner of the All Destroyer. The fair maiden wreathes her ^ head in the bridal veil, and waits the joyous ?' hour to give herself away to the beloved of her 01 heart; but Death outspeeds her lover, and claims w her for his bride. The land has its millions ; Vi , the sea has its millions. Truly may we exclaim m in the pathetic language of Mrs. Hemans: ?' "Leaves have their time to fall, b. And flowers to wither at the North-wind's breath, w And star's to set?but all, a Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh. Death !" ol These thoughts have been suggested by the . rebent visits of the fell Destroyer to our lovely town?snatching a sweet little cherub from the ^ first tender embraces of its mother, and taking an aged "Mother in Israel" to the long-awaited rest of the tomb and of heaven. Though our tc heart felt sympathies aro enlisted ; yet, may we Cl not say of both?vastly different as were their 18 lots?"to die is gain"? The one passes away 0 from the j?ys and sorrows of a long and well- t( - i ? ... u : A ,u? ?oll Q?^ S spent me: sue mis exjjcncutcu ...... .... terness of earth's taint, and the compensating n sweetness of a Saviour's pardoning grace. The Cl other passes from its mother's bosom into the ^ presence of God, and the bright effulgence of e' the shining host. Its tender soul has never 01 known sin; and, perhaps, through the endless cycles of eternity, it will never dream of any- w thing but a Saviour's love. Redeeming love S and stainless bliss ! Surely, the precious pros- ^ pect may make every Christian exclaim : "I would not live alway"; "I would hurry me away w from the wind and the stormy tempest." " LOTTERY SWINDLERS. (j W'e have been handed a "strictly confidential" q letter from J. Wilson & Co., "Bankers and Gen- y eral Lottery Agents," of Wilmington, Del., in which they propose to give a large prize for ten ^ dollars, or if they fail, to send another full pack- . age of tickets "in one of Messrs. Wood Eddy ^ & Co's Extra Popular Lotteries, free of charge." ^ They give as a reason for this excessive and prod . igal liberality, their desire to 'extend their rep- j utation as prize-sellers in this section.' We have ^ no doubt many of these letters are sent to our I .... 71 j readers. *)Ve hereby warn all tliut they are ^ j nothing but a cheat and u swindle. Our people. g I however, we think, are fully aware of this.? j These "splendid schemes" to rifle their pockets ^ of the proceeds of their honest labor and indus- , try, these "magnificent proposals" to give them large fortunes for nothing?that is large stores of experience at ten dollars per item?have been 1 sufficiently exposed and rebuked by the press of ^ South Carolina, to put our citizens 011 their ^ guard, if not to make these shallow and witexhausted "Roughs," quit foolishly "setting ' their nets in sight of the bird." -*mi ~ FOREIGN NEWS j Is interesting this week.

( ' BARON RENFREW'S PROMISE. 1 The young Prince of Wales, having completed ^ his tour through the Canadas and the Northern > States, has embarked at Portland, Maine, and > is now on his return trip to England. There has * been enough difference, indeed, between his gay t cis atlantic butterfly-flutterings, and the celebrar ted tour of Peter the Great, who travelled all 1 over Europe as a mechanic, and labored in the workshops, in order that he might acquire that e knowledge and skill which were afterwards to make himself and Russia famous. The Prince a seems to have felt that much of his time while on this side of the Atlantic, was passed in a man ? ner grotesquely out of keeping with his vast ^ responsibilities as the future king of England. In regard to his treatment of the South, especi ally, he appears to feel some qualms of conJ,?e tn Mlnnn and make a tour through the Southern States. The reader will remember that a few weeks 7. ago we made some strictures on the treatment which the South was receiving at the hands of this "mother's son." We have seen nothing to D nullify these remarks ; for a simple promise can 3 scarcely cancel a reality. This whole visit '* was as sheer an insult to the South, as that which drove Judge Longstreet from Europe for" ever; and it was the more offensive to us for 0 two reasoos. First, it not only in effect sane 3 tioned the inroads which have been made upon e the South, but added fuel to the flame of North 3 em fanaticism and superciliousness. He is a f standing argument in the mouth of every toady beyond Mason and Dixon's line against us; and - just such an argument, too, as will tend to f deaden the Northern masses to the possibility 1 of insulting us. Then, this harmful indignity ! ; ?wounding as it must have been to every South ( ' em heart which saw it in its proper 'light?was sndered the more galling by being miserably itched up with a kind of Gulliver's tour to ichmond, Virginia, and one negro plantation 1 If there were nothing in all this but a poor isult, we would say: "let the heathen rage!" ; would not be worth noticing. But there is ifinitely more : this visit is as full of mischief, s an eggis of meat, to our peace and the cause F liberty on this continent* It is a fifth rib ;ab in the side of our Republic. To our minds le Prince's receptions everywhere were a series F petty ovations to monarchy. The Prince himself, so far as we have been ble to learn, is a very genteel, a very sensitive, ad a very agreeable boy. Raised up in the sry shadow of Exeter Hall, and among a peole so peculiarly arrayed against our institutions, is conduct it not to be wondered at. Yet, oung as he is, he ought to have done better; ad it will take him some time to convince us lat he is either a very profound statesman or a ery exalted philanthropist. EDITORIAL INKLINGS. An earthquake has receutly occurred in auada, which is said by sailors to have been as iolent in some places, as those experienced jmmonly in the East or West Indies. Plaster - - - - s as shaken from the waii9 ot rooms; auu uuuu igs on land and steamboats on water '-reeled ad tottered like a drunken man-" It happened }ry early in the morning; and such a panic died the people, that many hurried out into le open air in their sleeping apparel. According to the late census returns the apulation of Columbia is as follows : Whites, [ales, 234G, Females, 2129; Slaves, 1712 Males, 353 Females. Free Persons of Color, Males, 26; Females, 208. Total population of Coimbia, 8159. * Greenville claims to havo between 2900 and 300 inhabitants?being the third city in the tate in point of population. Yorkville, Sparmburg, Sumter and Edgefield are the four next rgest place, we would say, without being at resent either able or inclined to make the "indious distinction." A fugitive Blave named "Jim," having me months ago escaped from Missouri into IInois, was recently arrested under the fugitive ave law, and by the decision of Judge Capron (stored to his owner.

At promiscuous meeting of whites and negroes, f the truly democratic style, the prisoners were itroduced and Prince of Walesed as ''martyrs f liberty." The very lowest buffoonery waB the rder of the day. An Oregon correspondent of the Charles>n Mercury relates an eccentric and almost inredible story of the movements of the Ablition its?some of them at least?in that quarter of Id Abe's vineyard. The intention seems to be ) send ou secret emissares to the Palmetto tate, who will represent themselves as "relrued Califoruians," or pass under some other onvenient name as natives "to the manor born." 8 soon as things are cooled down after Lincoln'8 lection, these lurkers, it is stated, think they an throw off the mask, get commissions under le Federal Government, and the Northern Press ill herald it to the world that each and such outh Carolinians have accepted office under incolu ! This writer says he knows persons in Oregon ho "declare" it is their intention to act thus, fe writes from Salem, September 5, and says : It wit arranged in secret caucus last night in iis city, that James Kilgore, of Jackson county ; lazzle of Douglas coun'.y : James Fulton and 7. C. Holeman, of Wasco county, should proted immediately to Charleston, S. C., and "wait jr something to turn up." The writer further itiraates that he is a native South Carolinian, 'he story sounds "fishy" to us ; and is as we avesnid, almost unworthy of belief. Why they hould hold "secret" caucuses and then "declare" heir purposes, is beyond our comprehension, loreover, how could this wise-acre find out the ext day the proceedings of one of these secret lodies, especially when their business was to end treacherous and traitorous plotters against ociety and government into his native State ?? Ve sincerely hope no one has been duping the \lercury. Dr. Francis Lieber, formerly a professor n the South Carolina College, now of Columbia College New York, presided at a German Black lepublican meeting held on the 17th instant, d the Cooper Institute, and made a speech in vhich he stated that the day was the anniversa y of the battle of Liepstc, where Germany lib (rated herself from the yoke of the Elder Na>oleon, and hoped it would be taken as a favorible omen, aud would animate every German jresent to renewed exertion "in the battle of reedom." These sentiments have created a mdden revulsion of feeling against him in Coumbia, where he once was a slave holder, and while serving the college professed himself as a warm friend of our institutions and a disciplt )f Mr. Calhoun. He even went so far in 1851 is to become a member of a "Southern Rights Association," then established in tbe South Car' olina College. This course of conduct and his supposed worth in other respepts?his learning and unquestioned ability?induced theEuphradi an society of the college to make him an honor ary member of their body, and to place his portrait and bust in their hall. Now, however, they have promptly resolved to erase his narrn from their roll of honorary members ; remnvt his bust and portrait; and thus shorn of hi: honors, to publish his name iti the Columbia papers. The Germans of Columbia have held a meeting and passed a Preamble and Resolutions ii consonance with those of the Euphradian Socie ty. What is better, they resolved to have thi proceedings of their meeting published in thi Slants Ztilling?a German paper of New Yorl city. The Chances In Near York. The New York Herald, which has hithertc been battling hard in behalf of the fusion move ment in that State, now gives up its cause ai hopeless. It says: Common justice to all concerned demands tha this id<>a that "something may turn up" to re deem New York should be abandoned. New York will vote for Lincoln, and by a larger ma jority, we dare nay, than any ot,her Stale. Lincob will be elected. There is no use in mincing th< matter any longer. We are called upon to lool this thing full in the face. The best that oui Union forces can now do, is to save all the odd: and ends of the election within their reach, sue! as Congressmen, Assemblymen and county offi cors. Lincoln will he elected, and all partie concerned may as well just now shape their court to that event as to wait till the day after the elec lion. The Beginning of the End.?From the Soutl we catch already the mutterings of the corainj etortn. There is no sound there of haughty threat or vain bravado. What we hear is the calm, stern, measured note of preparation for self-defence against a menaced war of the North on the rights, the peace, the domestic security, the property and lives of the South.

We have just enjoyed the pleasure of reading c "An Address, delivered on Commencement Day jj of the Laurensville Ftmale College, June 28, c 18C0, by Professor Joseph LeConte, of the South 1 Carolina College." We give the title in full, in p order tha t our friends may procure for them- r selves the Address itself. We consider it an d admirable thing, worthy the occasion, the sub- g ject, and the learned professor. We have read r nothing in years in this line that pleased us so o much. We hope to give our readers a few of the points oontained in the Address at some early day. j Detached Thought!. 1 From the little volume of poems that we no- ^ ticed last week, we select a few separate thoughts. * They intimate some beautiful teachings: "Still I feel a painful wonder That a spirit, formed as thine, t Had not trod its trials under, \ With a potency divine."** r t, "And down over many a sacred scene, s Orermany a closed and hallowed spot, J Tbv guardian angel drops a screen, ? And, with gentle tone, says 'Enter not."** "But sorrow itself hath a mission high; And Hope's defeats are not all in Tain ; Some joy is latent in every sigh, Some pleasure responds to the keenest pain. The past shall serve, as a winding stair, To action still more noble and true ; And the galliog chains of an old despair Hold the golden seal of a promise new." Telegraphs. Somebody wants to know how telegraphic messages?telegrams, that is to say?are given at the receiving office. There ire two ways. One, the most common, is a succession of dots and dashes, arrayed to represent letters and words; and these dots and dashes have to be translated by the clerk who writes the telegram all out, and the recipient getB it in the form of a letter. All our telegraphs hereabouis, we believe, are of this kind. A good clerk can write from merely the sound of the instrument, without seeing the dots and dashes. The other, known as House's machine, nrintn the letters themselves : and the recipient r - . gets a long slip of paper with the message print- ] ed in a fingle lino of large letters from end to 1 end. In Philadelphia we received intelligence j from Washington in this latter form. I Diphtheria. The recent appearance of this disease, with 1 an epidemic tendency, in Columbia, ha9 caused J it to be frequently spoken of by the non-profes- , sional as a new disease. It has been known to I readers of medical literature twenty or thirty years, perhaps more. Several deaths have occurred from it within the last month, some of them quite suddenly. It is confined to the young, under puberty. Some recover. It is not epidsmic, a physician assures us; aud it is hoped that it will not become so. It is a kind of croup ; and its peculiar feature is tne iormation of a kind of false membrane or skin (as the name implies) inside the larynx, trachea, (wind pipe) bronchia, and perhaps the air-colls in the lungs themselves. The effect of this membrane 1 is to gradually close the breathing aperture, and : thus arrest the breathing mechanically ; or, when in the bronchia and lungs, the membrane 1 prevents the oxidation of the blood, and death is caused by the unarterialized (poisonous) ' blood being thrown back upon the system. The > most sudden deaths occur from the latter cause. The Case of Kitchens. Clio, S. C., October 22, 18G0. In view of the excitement and exaggerated reports in circulation consequent upon the arrest 1 of J. K. Hitchcns and his son, P: C. Kitchens, by the Vig lance Committee of this place, on the j suspicioa of an attempt to excite an insurrection in the nighborhood, the undersigned, by re 1 quest of said Committee, beg leave to submit the following as a true and correct statement of . facts in relation thereto : F. C. Hitchens had been here about four weeks, s.nd J. K Kitchens about two weeks.? ' Reports derogatory to their character followed - vr .t_ n i:? _i .1 L_J __ P them irom rtorui ^uruimn, wuere mey uau rop sided for the last four or five years, in conse quence of which the citizens of this community ' determined to remove them. A mee ting was called for that purpose, and arrangements made to effect the desired purpose. Prior to taking action in the matter, and for oth i er purposes, a Committee of Safety was organ ized, and a Committee appointed to wait upon 3 them and inform them of the determination of the Committee, to wit: That they must leave t the District immediately, which they finally oon - seated to do. r While preparing to leave, the propriety of - searching their trunks was suggested. On exi aminaticn, numerous papers were found, among s which were two invoices for fire arms, from Joi seph Mervin, Agent at New York, several letters r from persons North, and copies of letters to va 3 rious persons. i These circumstances aroused our suspicion. - and we determined to arrest the parties and hold ? them in custody until further inves'igations t could be made. A letter from Adams & Co.'s Express Agent, at Wilmington, N. C., was also found, notifying J. K. Kitchens that a box to his address was in his possession, with bill for i collection for about $300. This was the only r bill found which bore any evidence of shipment, r The box was directed to Cberaw, S. C., and we ? understand has been forwarded from Wilmington, N. C., to Cheraw, S. C., and is now there.? i The $900 invoice bore no evidence of shipment, and we have information from Joseph Mervin, i Agent at New York, that this iuvoice was nevk er shipped, but was sent as a guide, as to the price and quality, in making selections. i There was nothing of an incendiary character i in any of the correspondence of either of the i Hitchens. Neither was there any proof of either l f thera entertaining sentiraonts unfriendly to le institutions of the South, or of their having ver expressed such sentiments. In explanation f the small bill of fire arms shipped to J. K. litchens, it "was stated by him that they were itended for his son who was engaged in the ransportation business across the plains to few Mexico. That he had a son engaged in this nsiness was satisfactorily proven. Taking all the circumstances into considers ion in connection with the fact that there was o disposition to evade an investigation, and his aving spoken of the order for arms, prior to is arrest, and the quality and quantity of the rras ordered, the Committee were induced to elieve that the intentions of the parties accused ere not of an insurrectionary character, and my have consequently been discharged.

Orr and Aahmore. ud tuesday last, during the morning recess 01 ourt, these gentlemen severally addressed the eople of this District, in the Court House, on ae great political question of the day. Col. Orrsaid that he had no hope of the de :at of Lincoln for the Presidency ; that in the vent of his election, the South cc-uld not, con stently with honor and safety, remain in the toon. He would counsel no hasty action on le part of the State. South Caralina should ot withdraw alone. He differed from others 1 the opinion that our Legislature should call >r a convention of the people as soon-as it was scertained that Lincoln was elected. He thought , would be wiser and more prudent that Com lissioners should be appointed to go to and c<nsult with other Southern States and ascerlin the course they intended to pursue under ie circumstances, so that there might be a conert of action. Col. Ashmore also thought the election of incoln almost certain; in that event, the South rn States had nothing to hope for. Others held ae opinion that Lincoln's Administration would e a conservative, Constitutional-abiding one ; e differed from them, and in order to show rhat might be the policy of such anadministra ion, reuu various exirucis iruui cue -xuie ui lincolD," tracing out his political character for lie past twenty years. These extracts furnished onclusive evidence that Lincoln recognized and ractised the "higher law" doctrines of the Abo tion party. The prime object of the Republi an party was nothing less than the entire ex inction of the peculiar institution of the Southrn States. The South should put herself into osition for resistance, and when the time for esistance comes, she should resist even unto eath. The Court House, on the occasion of these peeches, was crowded to overflowing, and the emarks of the speakers were received with such applause.?Greenville Patriot. The Progress of Abolitionism. The Boston Traveller notices some occurences n by gone days, which compared with the pubic sentiment at present existing in Boston, aford a striking illustration of the steady and on vard course of what was deemed, in those days, i wild fanaticism. It says: Yesterday, October 21st, 1860, completec wenty-five years since the famous riot in Bos on known afterwards as the mob of the "Gennen in Broadcloth," when an Abolition meeting vas broken up. and Wm.

The riot occurred in th< ifternoon of the day, that part of Washingtor itreet between State Street and Dock square be ng filled with people, who began expressing heir animosity with shouts of derision at ? imall meeting of Abolitionists gathered in ? milding near the entrance of Dock square. A lign of the Boston Liberator was torn down anc >roken. Finally the mob got upon the tracks o ilr. Garrison, who, as he was making his waj .hrough the buildings to Wilson's lane, wai leized and a rope placed about his neck, witl he idea of hanging him from a window. At this point, however, he was rescued ant aken to the City Hall, then at the head of Stab itreet. No other place of safety could be found iut the jail, and to that place he was taken in i :arriage, by the Mayor, and kept for the night )n the way, however, the mob, who were ii iu?ip pu.nui., V 6 )y casting ropes around it. The next morninj he Boston Advocate, edited by Hon. B. F. Hal ett, came out in a powerful leader, denouncing he inertness of the authorities, and declaring hat it was the duty of the Mayor, if he coulc lot disperse the mob by any other means, t< ilant cannon and sweep the street. It is a curious fact, that the Rev. Sarnuel J May, a warm Abolitionist, was mobbed at Mont celier, and Gerrit Smith and Beriah Green a [Jtica, New York, on the same day, October 21 1835. The People of Alabama Preparing.?Unquos ionably our people are preparing to take can if themselves, in the event of the success o Black Republicanism. The agents of the Fre Boil power are getting more chary in the ex pression of their sentiments and opinions abou duty of the South ; from all quarters com :ho notes of resistance. As soon as the electior s over, our citizens will be pretty well united.3od send that day speedily ! We glory in the fact that the "Overt Act' men are gradually disappearing. The blood o the South is becoming hot. The day is no three weeks off, when the ''agents" and "pio neera" will have to be very, very cautious. Th best men of the South, aye, and of the Nortl too, have declared that the South must not cannot live under Black Republican rule. I tor no other reason, the South would resist thi Lincoln administration, on account of the mu latto Hamlin. And the true Southern sentimen is making itself felt. Every day adds to it strength. Glorious South Carolina will lead th way, and Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mis BissiDPi will follow and stand by her side! Montgomery Mail. A Rumor.?The Washington corresdondent c the Cincinnati Inquirer telegraphs: "A leading and influenzal Member of Con gress from Virginia left here a few days ago and before leaving he stated to a friend that h had no idea, in the event of Lincoln's election that the delegation from Virgiuia would tak their seats in the House of Representatives. 1 is stated on the very best authority that meeting of the delegation, including Senator and Representatives, has been called and wi take place several weeks prior to the convenin of Congress. The event of the meeting is onl known to the initiated. Rumors are rife abot extraordinary overtures from the Republican to the South, if the leaders there will only kee quiet. Corwin writes that Lincoln will execui the Fugitive Slave Law to the very letter; the he will not countenance the abolition of Slaver in the District of Columbia without the conset of the inhabitants. Report says that combinn tions are forming which will astound the couc try." Votes Lincoln can afford to Lose.?Mr. Lii coin, if he obtain all theVree States, will hav just one hundred and eighty three electori votes, while (the whole number being three hut dred and three) one hundred and fifty-two wou be a majority of the whole. Then it appears 1 could only spare thirty-one, aud should he loi New York (thirty-five votes) must be defeatet even with California and Oregon on his side. Losing those two States (having seven votes) i could not lose Pennsylvania (twenty-seven vote: as he would then have but one hundred an forty-nine, or three less than a majority of tl college ; but carrying either California or On gon, with all the other free States, he woul have a majority without Pennsylvania; or h might lose Ohio, California and Oregon, thirty one, and still be safe. New York is the onl single State which could defeat him.?Pittsbui Dispatch. Ohio carried off by the Negroes.?The officii returns of the Onio election disclose the fat that the Black Republican majority was onl 8.794. Fourteen thousand negroes were allow* to vote under the decision of Judge Brinkinhof Leaving out this negro vote the Democrats hat a majority of nearly six thousand. Thus th startling, the humiliating fact appears tht Ohio, a sovereign State of this Union, is und< negro rule. To such a disgrace would th Black Republican party reduce the whole couc try. This thing is too shameful, too sickeninj too revolting, to contemplate. The following paragraph is from the Clevelan Plaindealer: "Full blooded negroes voted in several of th wards yesterday. At the second ward negrot as black as coal peddled tickets. Negroes hire carriages and carried white men to the polls.Negroes were everywhere. The refrain com meucing, "Sheep meat's too good for negroes," is an absurdity. Here on the Western Reserv roast beef is hardly good enough for them. They sit at the first table, and white men are forced to lap up the crumbs at the second.? That's the style here. That's what ails us. We have met the Africans, and we are theirs 9" rennsylvanian.

The offenders were possessed of all the effrontery of the boldest and most unflinching vil j lains, and the open and daring manner in which 8 they accomplished their nefarious work bespeaks T a determination, and recklessness against which ' we would warn all to be prepared.

His pretensions will of coarse excite { ridicule, but in attestation of their truth he says e lie predicted the recent affair at Truxillo, the j fires in Texas, and the political fusion in New York?and now, although the prospects forebode a different result, he says he is willing to > stake the reputation of his profession upon the f prediction that the fusion ticket of New York t will carry the largest vote in the coming election ?and that Gen.

April 26 17 leowly It is a common observation that there are more sufferers from debility, among Americans, than can be found among any other civilized nation. The reason is obvious. We take too little exercise, and forget the wants of the body in the absorbing pursuits of business. In all such cases, ordinary medicines can do little good. What is required is just such a tonic and invigorator as Dr. J. Hostetter has given to the world, in bis CELEBRATED "BITTERS " Tbe weak and nervous denizen of tbe counting bouse, the exhausted toiler upon the shop-board, and the prostrated student of the midnight lamp, have found a wonderful regenerator in the "Bitters," and prefer it to more pretentious, but less efficacious medicines. But it should not be forgotten that the agent which is so magical iu its influence upon a frame which is merely debilitated, is equally powerful in assisting nature to expel the most terrible forms of disease. Who would not give it a trial ? For Sale by ALLISON & BRATTON, Yorkvillc. S. C. Oct 4 40 lm THE OXYGENATED BITTERS. Nature, in her great laboratory, has stored some remedy adapted to every disease which "flesh is heir to." But it requires the investigation and research of the philosopher to discover and apply this remedy. Such research inmmtmafinn tins succeeded in discovering a remedy for that most afflictive dispensation, the DYSPEPSIA I With all its lesser and numerous evils ; and it may be safely asserted that until the appearance of the Oxygenated Bitters a case of Dyspepsia cured was a rare experience in medical practice. Now under the influence of these Bitters the rule is to cure, the rare exception, failure to cure. From W. A. HARP, Esq., Editor of the "Covington Georgia Times." Covin ito.v, April 7 18G0. Messrs.

His osition, character, influence and surroundings emand an extended notice, and present many istinguishing traits whiob elicit admiration and eserve to be imitated and transmitted. t A long and intimate acquaintance has only ended, increasingly, to develop the elements of rue greatness which are now reflected from his xample. Whether in private or state business, lolitics or religion, he was uniform and decided, lis friends ever knew where to find him. He vas honest in his convictions, true to his purges, faithful to his friends, and loyal to his ountry. His energy and perseveranoe, his iromptncss and punctuality, bis unceasing enerprise, his large, liberal, and comprehensive dews need only to be recited to be universally idmitted wherever he was known. j In agricultural pursuits he was not only enhusiastic, but eminently successful. His hab- a ts of industry, economy and prudent manage- M nent are worthy of imitation. His buildings, a lis fields, his stock and, indeed, ail he possessed, ;vince a high degree of attention, diligence and :arefulness which are too frequently, to their V njury, ignored by husbandmen. He- not only ; 'ound sufficient time to excel in the pursuits of Agriculture, but also to identify himself with all [he interesting and useful public improvements )f the day. The Charlotte and South Carolina Rail Road, the Plank Road, and the Atlantic, 1 reunessec and Ohio Rail Road, now in progress, afford unequivocal proof of bis zeal for the advancing prosperity and real greatness of his jountry. It were to be expected that a person possessing such qualities of mind and heart, such intelligence and rectitude, such diligence and perseverance, would be crowned with ample and merited success, and whilst dispensing benefits, and speaking words of encouragement to others, would accumulate a competent fortune for himself and his family. Amongst other features of bis character it was noticeable that he never intermeddled with the sffairs of others, nor spoke evil of any of his acquaintances or neighbors. Whilst he was always dignified and polite, he was of a cheerful disposition and of companionable and genial spirit. Whilst he knew his rights and dared to maintain them, he never gave uncessary offence either to the learned or ignorant, the rich or the poor. Thousands of all classes can testify to the free, bountiful and princely hospitalities of his residence. Contemplated dndhe various relations which he sustained, as husband, father, master, relative, friend and neighbor, bis life looms up bigb above many, others as a model to which they may repair for instruction ^ and conform as a pattern. - - M Mr. Springs was for many years a member of the Presbyterian Church. His record as a professing Christian is well and favorably known.? Descended of a pious ancestry, and reared in a home of piety and faith, he was eminently qualified to assume the responsibility of the office of Ruling Elder, which he held at his death. His face was familiar in the church courts, and he was once a delegate to the General Assembly. From bis love of the Bible, and of the church of his fathers, from his prayers in his closet and at the family altar, from his uniformly conscientious adherence to the great principles of the gospel, we must conclude that he was prepared to render his account and to enter the joy of his Lord. Although little is known of his experience in his dying hours, yet from his life ? 1 fruits we can but believe that our loss is his ueavenly and everlasting gain. Let not his family and relatives sorrow ns those who have no hope. Let them feel that their Heavenly Father not only has the right to remove our friends, but knows what is best for us, and when to summons them away. Let them piously and humbly submit to the solemn and impressive dispensation; especially as it has only wrested him from their embrace to elevate bim to a higher position, to a more congenial clime, and to purer and more re nuea enjoyments in the society ot neaven. May they penitently follow the Saviour, whom heloved and glorified, that they may be reunited and enjoy the pleasure of recognition of their saint- ^ ed dead in the New Jerusalem. P.
