On Wednesday of last week, General Canby issued the subjoined order in reference to an election "For" and "Against" a Convention, and for members of the said Convention, should one be ordered. It will be observed that the election is directed to be held in South Caroliua, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 19th and 20th of November. The order is designated as No. 89: By the terms of the Act of Congress entitled "An Act to provide for the more efficient government of the rebel States," passed March 2d, 1867, and of the acts of March 23d, and July 19th, 1867, supplementary thereto?it is made the duty of the Commanding General of this Military District to cause a registration to be made of the male inhabi, tan ts of the State of South Carolina, of the age of 1 twenty-one years and upwards, and qualified by the terms of said Acts to vote, and after such registration is complete, to order an election to be held, at which the registered voters of said State shall vote for or against a Convention, for the purpose of establishing a Constitution and Civil Government for the said State, loyal to the Union, and for delegates to said Convention?and to give at least thirtv days' notice of the time and place at which said election shall be held ; and the said registration having been completed in the State of South Carolina, it is ordered: First. That an election be held in the State of South Carolina, commencing on Tuesday, the 19th day of November, 1867, and ending on Wednesday, the 20th day of November, 1867, at which all registered voters of said State mav vote "For a Convention," or "Against a Convention," and for delegates to constitute the Convention?in case a majority of the votes given on that question shall be for a Convention, and in case a majority of the registered voters shall have voted on the question of holding such Convention. Second, It shall be the duty of the Boards of Registration in South Carolina, commencing fourteen days prior to the election herein ordered, and giving reasonable public notice of the time and place thereof, to revise for a period of five days the registration lists, and upon Deing satisfied that any person not entitled thereto has been registered, to strike the name of such person from tne list; I and such person shall not be entitled to vote. The Boards of Registration shall also, during the same period, add to such registers the names of all persons wno at that time possess the qualifications required by said Acts?who have not already been registered. Third In deciding who are to be stricken from or added to the registered lists, the Boards will be guided by the law of March 2d, 1867, and the laws supplementary thereto, and their attention is specially directed to the Supplementary Act of July 19th, 1867. Fourth. The said election will be held in each district at such places as may hereafter be designated, under the superintendence of the Boards of Registration as provided by law, and in accordance witn instructions hereafter to be given to said Boards in conformity with the Acts of Congress, and, as far as may be, with the laws of South Carolina. Fifth. All judges and clerks employed in conducting said election shall, before commencing to KA etDArn M faithful nprfftrin ilUiU tuc cvaiii^1 ug onviu w vuv |/vv.. ance of their duties, and shall also take and subscribe the oath of office prescribed by law for officers of the United States. Sixth. The polls shall be opened at such voting places at eight o'clock in the forenoon, and closec at four o'clock in the afternoon of each day, and shall be kept open during these hours without intermission or adjournment. Seventh. No member of the Board of Registra| tion who is a candidate for election as a delegate to the Convention, shall serve as judge of the election in any District which he seeks to represent. Eighth. The Sheriff and other peace officers of each District are required to be present during the whole time that the polls are kept open, and until the election' is completed; and will be made responsible that there shall be no interference with judges of elections, or other interruption of good order. If there should be more than one polling place in any District, the Sheriff of the District is empowered and directed to make such assignments of nis deputies, and other peace officers, to the other polling places, as may, in his judgment, best subserve the purposes of quiet and order; and he is further Required to report these arrangements in advance to the Commander of the Military Post in which his District is situated. Ninth. Violence, or threats of violence, or of ; discharge from employment, or other impressive i means to prevent any person from registering, or 1 exercising his right of voting, is positively pro- ' hibited, and any such attempts will be reportea by the registrars or judges of elections to the Post Commander, and will cause the arrest and trial of the offenders by military authority. Tenth. All bar-rooms, saloons, and other places for the sale of liquors by retail, will be closea from 6 o'clock of the evening of the 18th of November, until 6 o'clock of the morning of the 21st of November, 18G7, and during this time the sale of all intoxicating liquors at or near any polling place is prohibited. The police officers of cities ana towns, and sheriffs and other peace officers of Districts, will ^ be held responsible for the strict enforcement of P? this prohibition, and will personally arrest and hold for trial all persons who mav transgress it Eleventh. Military interference with elections, "unless it shall be necessary to repel the armed enemies of the United States, or to keep the peace at the polls," is prohibited by the Act of Congress approved February 25th, 1865, and no soldiers will be allowed to appear at any polling place, unless as citizens of the State they are qualified and are registered as voters, and then only for the purpose of voting; but the Commanders of Posts will keen their trooDS well in hand on the days of elec tion, and will be prepared to act promptly, if the ? civil authorities are unable to preserve the peace. Txcdfth. The returns required by law to be made to the Commander of the District of the results of the election, will be rendered by the Boards of Registration of the several registration precincts, through the Commanders of the Military Posts in which their precincts are situated, and in accordance with the detailed instructions hereafter to be given. Thirteenth. The number of delegates to the Convention is determined by law, and is the number of members of the most numerous branch of the Legislature for the year eighteen hundred and sixty, and this number, one hundred and twenty-four, is apportioned to the representative Districts of the dtate in the ratio of registered voters, as follows: k District of Charleston, 9 Delegates; Berkeley, 9; W Colleton* 5 ; Beaufort, 7; Georgetown, 3; Horry, f 2 ; Williamsburg, 3 ; Marion, 4 ; Darlington, 4; I Marlboro, 2; Chesterfield, 2; Sumter, 4; ClarenI don, 2; Barnwell, 6 ; Edgefield, 7 ; Orangeburg, F 5; Kershaw, 3; Richland, 4; Lexington, 2; New ' berry, 3; Laurens, 4; Abbeville, 5; Anderson, 3; Greenville, 4; Pickens, 3; Spartanburg, 4: Union, 3; York, -1; Chester, 3; Fairfield, 3 ; Lancaster, 2. ? Refused to Obey.?Judge Aldrich, upon the assembly of the court of Edgefield, announced that he declined to obey the order of Gen. Canby, relative to jurors, upon (he ground that it conflicts with his oath of office, requiring him, to the best of his ability, ''to discharge the duties of his office, and protect and defend the Constitution of this State, and that of the United States," and also so far as he "may be concerned in the drawing, balloting, empanelling or summoning of juries, truly, diligently and uprightly, to carry into true ana faithful effect the Act of the General Assembly, commonly called the Jury Law, passed A. V. 18.11, as the same has been altered and amended." According to the law of this State, those who are entitled, by the Constitution of the State, to vote for members of the State Legislature, and who shall have paid, the year preceding the sitting of the court, for which the jury lists shall be made, a . tax of any amount whatever, for property held in At their own right. In other words, the juror must Wf be a white male citizen, or emigrant from Europe, W who has'given notice of his intention to become a J citizen, a resident of the State one year, and in additiou thereto, a tax-payer on property in his b own right. . .ppnim'tai.

NEW YORK, October 21.?Cotton active and half a cent higher. Middling Upland 20 cents. LIVERPOOL, October 21, noon.?Cotton firmer. Sales 10,000 bales?uplands 8}d. CHARLESTON, October 17.?Cotton.?1The staple having apparently reached its lowest figure during the week past, say for Low Middling 14 to 14}, Middling 15, and Strict Middling 16 cents per pound, prices have taken an improved change, and the English market, which had descended to 8}d. per pound, for Middling Upland has become more active, and prices have moved up to 8Jd. per pound, this advance causing a stiffening of rates and an improved inquiry here, prices advancing at this point from 1 to 1}, and in some instances 2 cents per pound, the quotations closing yesterday at 16 cents for Low Middling, 17 cents for Low Middling, and 17} to 176 per pound for Strict Middling Cotton. The receipts of Upland here are increasing, and the market has consequently been characterized by more activity. We submit the following statement of transactions here for the week just closed: On Friday, the 11th instant, the demand opened to a limited extent, buyers operating at prices somewhat easier than previous quotations, but afterwards the cable having announced that the English market had receded }d. per pound, the inquiry lessened and the operations afterwards were at rates from a } to } cents per pound lower, sales 180 bales, Low Middling being quoted at 14 to 14}, Middling 15 to 15}, and Strict Middling at 16 cents per pound. On Saturday a good inquiry existed and holders being free, selling with the advantage generally in favor of the buyer, the transactions amounted to about 600 bales, Low Middling being quoted at 14 to 14}, Middling at 15, and Strict Middling at 16 cents per pound. On Monday there was a better feeling in the market caused by improved news from Liverpool, sales about 300 bales, prices advancing in some cases about a half cent per pound, Low Middling being quoted at 14} to 15, Middling at 15}, ana Strict Middling at 16 to 16} cents per pound. On Tuesday an active inquiry prevailed, and buyers operated freely at about a } cent per pound advance, sales 700 bales, Low Middling being quoted at 15}, Middling at 16 to 16}, ana Strict Middling at 17 cents per pound. On Wednesday the demand continued steady, with much firmness on the part of holders, prices stiffened a } cent per pound, sales 550 bales, Low Middling being quoted at 16, Middling at 16} to 17, and Strict Middling 17} cents per pound. Yesterday the demand from buy era were of an active character at rather firmer "rates, sales 700 bales, viz: 1 at 14, 1 at 15, 30 at 15}, 22 at 15}, 87 at 16, 6 at 16}, 12 at 16}, 19 at 16}, 206 at 17, 57 at 17}, 54 at 178, 84 at 17}, 110 at 178, 31 at 17}. We quote Liverpool classification: Low Middling 16, Middling 17, Strict Middling 17} to 17} cents per pound. Corn.?There have been no supplies of this grain received for some time, and although the demand is extremely limited and confined to a light retail trade, the lessening stock has a hardening influence on prices, and we quote the market in a retail way at $1.65 to $1.70 per bushel for Primo Corn, weight, bags included. Flour.?This article continues to have an upward tendency, and prices of Southern have improved during the week. We note sales oi Southern Super at $13 per barrel ; Southern Extra at $13.50 per barrel; and Southern Family at $14.50 per barrel. With the advance in the price ol Southern Flour, dealers have imported to a limited extent of new Northern and Western, which is selling at $12 for Super, and $13 per barrel for Extra. Bacon.?The stock of meat is light, and with a moderate demand, holders have generally obtained full and firm prices. The market is supplied with inferior meat, but it sells at rates too irregular to be quoted. We quote Prime Shoulders at 15$ to 16J cents per pound; prime Ribbed Sides at 18$ cents per pound, and prime Clear Ribbed Sides at 19J to 20 cents per pound. Salt.?The stock of the article is light and the enquiry continues moderate. We renew our previous rates for jobbing lots?say $2.50 to $2.75 per sack. ' India Bagging.?The market, by late arrivals, continues to befullvsupplied with thisarticle, and in consequence of the limited extent to which purChasers confine their operations, the business clone is quite moderate. We quote sales in large lots at 25 to 25$ cents per yard, and in a limited way at 25i to 20 cents per yard, as in quality and size ot lot. Rope?In consequence of the use of Iron Ties, the demand for Rope is very light and prices irregular, and somewhat nominal at quotations. Wo quote Hemp at 13 to 14, Greenleaf 14 to 15, and Jute at 12cents per pound. Financial. YORKVILLE, October 23.?Gold, $1.40. NEW YORK, October 21.?Gold, $1.43J.

I September 19 21 2m PIEDMONT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of virginia. T1HE Subscriber respectfully Informs the public X generally that he has accepted the Agency of he above Company, and is now prepared to issue policies of LIFE INSURANCE. The solvency >f the Company is certified to by the Court Om?rs of Nelson county, Virginia, and is commendid to those who desire to support a "Home Institution. j. a. Mclean, At the store of J. & E. B. Stowe. the obj ect Of this Company is to insure life?not indeed ? prolong life?but by paying a certain sum to the beneficiaries of a policy when you die?thereby to continue the exertions, Investments and benefits bf your life to your dependents, after your life is terminated. However well prepared a man may be in a spiritual point of view to meet the "king of terrors," if he be possessed of a thoughtful mind and a feeling heart, he can but look with sad forebodings to that finale of his earthly career which is to deprive his fond wife and helpless children of that support and fostering care which his arm has furnished. He shudders as his mental gaze looks within the gloomy portals of the grave and leaves behind those whom he loved, as vagrants roamingthe friendless, thorny paths of public charity!* et, alas! how many do it!! when a small present outlay would gild their troublous road with ease and comfort, if spent in a Life Insurance Policy. Reader, are you not liable to this sad death-bed reflection of the unseen trials you bequeath those you Leave behind, by neglecting this cheap protection which we now urare unon vou? If vour mind wore easy on this subject; i?you could feel when you "shuffle off this mortal coil" your family were provided for, you would be reuof ed of the corking anxiety that fills every worthy mind at such fears: you would be better prepared to pursue your avocation with mental composure and zeal. We do not mean to assert that money can fill the place of a fond lather, yet we do assert, what you biow to be true?money will prove their best earthly friend when you are gone; and you can leave them this certain friend now while you sue living. Can you?will you refuse it? Business men are considered rather improvident who do not insure their goods and houses against fire. Now, your house may never be burned?it may stand a hundred years; but your life cannot last so long?your "lamp of life" must burn out some day. You argue it is prudent to insure against uncertain misfortunes to your property, and yet neglect a certain event which wiU and must come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and prudence? We admit and assert the prudence of the first, but assert the greater wisdom and necessity for the last. Ask yourself the question, are you doing right to neglect this opportunity to provide effectually for your family in case of your death, while you have it in your power? And bear in mind?now, this moment may be your last chance?death is after you! When once his "rugged scythe shall clip the brittle thread of life," the ghastly panorama of want and suffering will be opened to the sighing hearts you took care of while you lived. Remember! only while in health?before age, with attendant diseases come upon you? before you begin to loiter in sad sickness on the verge of the grave?onl; while living?mentally md physically living?can you obtain a Life Insurance Policy. Life is a vast battle-field?death is always the final victor?and while we do not urge this process will disarm him of his sting, (for religion only can do that) yet it will soothe your heaving bosom to know you have provided for your family before that trying hour comes. By having Eiur life insured you "disarm the sting" ofpoverand want to them. We imagine now we hear e wail of suffering from some lone widow, while she examines the merits of this business, as her shivering group stand around her scanty fire and cry for bread: "Oh! that my husband had insured his life ! If he could have foreseen my lamentable state he would have done so. He was kind and good to all, and supposed that all would be kind and good to us; but alas, ho'w mistaken! He provided well for us while living; but if he had insured his life, its benefits would have continued to us now." Do not say this is a fancy sketch, for many such a scene has really existed. JOHN R. ALLEN is the Agent of the above Company at Chester. October 10 24 tf Of every 2000 pervoni, in one year, 09 will be dead; in ten yeara, 588; in twenty yean, 1078. Such is the averifs of human mortality THE ARLINGTON MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, OF VIRGINIA, RECENTLY organized with abundant capital, and controlled by some of the most competent business talent of Richmond, Va., offers to INSURE LIVES, upon terms as liberal as any other Company in the Union, either upon the participating, non-participating, cash, or part note system. The insecurity of property, and the uncertainty of life, appeal powerfully to every man upon whom devolves a family for support, to invest a part of his income in some permanent way, to provide for them after his death. The following are examples showing the annual premium upon $1000 for life: Age. Annual Prern'm. Aje. Annual Prem'm. 20 $13 80 45 $29 00 25 15 80 50 35 20 30 18 30 55 44 80 35 21 20 60 57 80 40 24 80 65 72 10 Thus, a mere pittance of a man's annual income will provide a competent fund for the support of his family in the event of his death. It is tne duty of every man to do this. JAMES F. HART, Agent, Yorkvffle, S. C. Oct 3 23 tf C. E. BECHTJLER & CO., : practical DHR0N0METER, DUPLEX, PATENT LEVTO.
