John Gilmer's right eye, killing him instantly. Mr. Edward Yeldell was shot through the right arm and painfully wounded. The ooncealed negroes fired several volleys in rapid SQccession. The whites, althoogh taken completely by surprise, dashed into the woods in search of the murderers. The scoundrels had decamped, however, and could not be found. One negro was seen running across a field, but h6 managed to effect his escape. All search for the oushwhackers proved unavailing. It was evident that the negroes were armed with Winchester rifles, from the rapidity of their fire and the distance from the road. Later in the evening, Mr. Jones Outz, while returning to Edgefield from the scene of the murder, was fired upon from the woods by nartiea in amhnah and shot through the leff. His horse was so badly injured by another shot that it is thought it will die. The body of Gilmer was carried to Edgefield, where it was lying in state yesterday morning. The funeral took place during the day. The attack on the whites was utterly wanton and unprovoked. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier, who attended the meeting at Edgefield Court House, gives the following account of it, under date of Thursday evening, and also furnishes such information regarding the killing, as had reached Columbia op to that date: The Democratic meeting at Edgefield, yesterday, was said to be the largest ever held there. The crowd was estimated at between five and six thousand persons, including about two thousand horsemen, all uniformed in red shirts, and many of whom were colored men. Hampton and Ins party were met at the court house by three or four hundred mounted men, 1 and escorted to the village. All the stores were closed in honor of the occasion. A new stand was erected in the Academy grove, with i seats which were occupied by several hundred ladies. Many carriages from the country, 1 also filled with ladies, were near the stand, i which was beautifully oraamented. The pro- 1 cession was formed near Gen. Gary's residence, a mile from the town, and marched, through the streets to the grove. The speaking began at 11 o'clock, A. M. Hampton, Simpson, Cooke, MoiBe, Judge Mackey, Gibbes and Lipscomb addressed the meeting. The speeches were all moderate and counselling the utmost forbearance. A t 4 o'clock, Gen. Gary concluded with a brief address, and the meet- 1 ing adjourned. It was about ten times as large as the Radical affair on Saturday, and ' passed off without a single disturbance or case of drunkeness. I returned by the afternoon train, which was delayed on the road until too late to telegraph last night. From Judge Mackey, who arrived this afternoon, I learn that as a party of six whites were quietly returning home about 6 o'clock, 1 on the Liberty Hill road, and when two and a half miles from town, tbey were fired into by negroes concealed in ambush one hundred yards from the road, and John Gilmer was instantly killed, and Edward Yeldell wounded in the arm. Tbey then saw a negro come out into a field, one hundred yards off, who a l f _ J .4. Ai rpi raised nis rme ana nreu at mem. xuej returned the fire from their pocket pistole, all they had with them, without effect. The negro fled. Yeldell and one other of the party returned to the village with the tidings, the others remaining with the corpse of Gilmer. Major Klioie, United States army, with several army officers, Gen. Gary and others, at once repaired to the sceue of the killing. Mr Outz was then dispatched to the village for the coroner, and when a mile from town was also ambushed. Several shots were fired at him, his leg was shattered, and his horse badly wounded. The greatest excitement prevailed, J but Gen. Gary, Gen. Butler and others, pre- , vented pursuit and retaliation. The first ambush occurred within a short distance from a ( settlement of negroes on a tract of State land, , who have had an organized militia company J H&rvrecdfltfy^Hredwf j with new rifles, and are supposed to be the guilty parties. No further particulars have been received up to this hour. It will be re- J membered that Capt. Preston Blackwell was ^ ambushed in the same manner and wounded, while returning from the last Democratic f meeting on August 12. Governor Chamberlain states that he has been informed that this party of whites referred to,engaged in a quarrel od the road, which led to an armed collision, in which two negroes were killed by the whites, and Mr. Gil- ( mer was killed and two others wounded by the negroes. Judge Mackey brands this statement as utterly false, as the gentlemen who were in the party attacked, stated the facts as above given to Maj. Kline, and gave as a rea- i son for their being surprised that they did not i suspect that there were any negroes on the road, and they had had no previous quarrel i with negroes on that day. The statement here given is confirmed further, by the fact that up to 9 o'clock this morning, no complaint was ! made that any negroes had been killed or _ wounded ; nor was the statement of Messrs. Yeldell and Oatz.as above given, contradict- i ed in any respect. Nor does Governor Cham- i berlain pretend to give the names of the negroes alleged to have been killed, although the scene of the pretended conflict was so near the court-house. John Gilmer, the man who was killed, leaves a widow and six children. THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION. On our first page we print a proclamation by the President of the United States, regarding affairs in South Carolina, which proclamation has called forth the following address to the people by the Democratic State i Executive Committee. ' Rooms op the State Democratic Executive Committee, c Columbia, S. C., October 18, 1876. ) To the People of the State of South Carolina toho desire Honest Government, without re- 1 gard to political party or race: ( His Excellency the President of the United States did, on the 17th day of this month, ; issue a proclamation whereby he commanded all persons engaged in unlawful and insurrectionary proceedings to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes within tkroa rlava from that date, arid hereafter aban don said combinations ami submit themselves to the laws and constituted authorities of said State. This proclamation is based upon the statements made by Daniel H. Chamberlain, the Governor of this State, which statements are aimed politically against his political opponents, and are proven to be untrue by the testimony of every judge in?the State aud every trial justice or other officer of the law from whom response has been obtained. Every resident of the State knows them to be untrue. Every Republican of character or intelligence, or who is not in office or seeking office, and many who are in office in the State, have expressed horror and disgust at the course which the Governor has pursued. We say this much for our vindication. Never has a people suffered more by dishonor of office and dishonor of officers. Never has such bold untruth been used for the support of a movement which shakes the pillars upon which rest the constitutional principles of a i mighty people. Our State is but a petty portion of the Union; but we call upon our sister States of the North to remember that the experiment now being made for the domination of our elections by the bayonet and by soldiers, as the irresistable instrument of a revolutionary local depotisra, if successful,! will become the precedent before which the ; whole fabric of American liberty will fall, 1 and will be applied to other states, just as ; soon as party exigencies require it. We make the declaration of our innoeence not in disrespect of the President of the United States, but as an act of justice to our selves as American citizens, and to put our n case upon the record of an impartial trial before the great national tribunal. We bow in perfect submission to the proclamation of his , Excellency the President, and exhort our fel-1 I low-citizens, whom we represent in the present; I canvass, to yield free aud entire obedience j K to every command of the said proclamation. ' WYUWwWWWWW " We know; that the cluba called "Rifle Clubs" are associations formed for home protection ; that they are not combinations, as charged by the Governor of this State; that there are but few that have arms or ammunition ; that those which have been equipped were so done with the sanction and sometimes with the aid of the Governor, and have been recognized by him as useful and appropriate bodies, and not one of them has been accused of disorder. We know that this necessity was occasioned by the reckless distribution of arms and ammunition among the colored people by the State officials,; and we further know that our white fellow-citizens were, on the sixteenth day of this month, massacred at a peaoeful political assemblage where, by agreement with C. C. Bowen, the Republican chairman for Charleston County and sheriff* of the said county, present at the meeting, and first Presidential elector of the State at large on the Republican ticket, they went without arms to meet the colored race, the voters of the so-called Republican party in this State, who were likewise,by Mr. Bowen's agreement, bound to be without arms, and we know that the politicians who are the authors of all our evils, are teaching among the colored race the use of the rifle and the torch. We know that our homes are in^ peril, and that our women and children are exposed to the horrors of ruthless butchery and barbarity. But, nevertheless, we advise the command, so for as authority goes, that every such rifle club against which the misrepresentation of the Governor of the State are aimed, be forthwith disbanded, and that the members thereof be held in future only by those ties of humanity which bind all good men together; that the name of the club be abandoned and the officers cease toexercise their powers. This is said with the express declaration that these clubs are not associated with nor subject to our political control. We repeat that we speak without disrespect to the Presi - - ? TI .... .L. dent of tbe (Jotted states, xie acuj upuu mo statements made by the Governor of this State; but we say it that we may show our willingness to obey without committing an untruth against ourselves by seeming to acknowledge that of which we are not guilty. We are not engaged in unlawful and insur-' rectionary proceedings. We cannot disperse because we are not gathered together. We cannot retire peaceably to our abodes, because we are in our homes in peace, disturbed alone by the political agitations created by the Governor and his minions* But we resignedly and cheerfully, in the performance of our duty, suspend the exercise of our individal and private rights, to prevent evil to the whole people. Belying upon the universal sense of right, and appealing to the Almighty to sustain us, we exhort our people to the continuance of submission to the authorities of the government, feeling assured that time and patience will work our deliverance. Remember that tbe campaign is now a short one and all signs 1 rlov nf "NTnvflmher next Iiupuiu 1 I If IE Ob VUO I VU UMJ wa ? ? ? will witness the full and complete vindication of our cause through the peaceful instrumentality of the ballot box.

A Washington letter of Monday says: "The President has received letters from several prominent Republicans of South Carolina, disputing the allegations contained in the documents issued by Governor Chamberlain and bis formal request made here for troops. Letters have also been addressed to the President from the North, remonstrating against the improper use of troops in South Carolina and elsewhere. Army officers in South Carolina and other portions of the South, hagft^alaq- written here, complaio^g that the political uses to which they are put are exceedingly distasteful to them. The President, after further consideration of the matter, still holds to bis original inclination to further the purposes of Governor Chamberlain, and does not seem to be much influenced by the opinions expressed by others in opposition. The South Carolina carpet baggers, who have been here urging compliance with the application of Governor Chamberlain, admit, privately, that they have no hopes otherwise of success at the November alection." teg" Speaking of troops in the South, the Washington Chronicle, (Republican) says editorially : "When Southern people cry out about the Oppression of the Federal troops, they prove* themselves hypocrites. Every posted mau knows that the rank and file of the army is recruited from the riff-raff of the Democracy, and their sympathies would not permit them to abuse the poor Southerners. Sergeant Patrick O'Donohoe and Corporal Michael McFlanagan, of the regular army, would much sooner assist the Ku-Klux in abusing negroes, than in protecting them from A the outrageous treatment 01 uisautxaeu auu unreconstructed rebels." ? S6F There was a great demonstration in Oxford, Mississippi, the home of Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, on the reception of the news of the Democratic victories in Indiana and West Virginia. Every house in the town was illuminated. Thousands of white and black voters, marching shoulder to shoulder, formed in a torchlight procession, which was led by a band of the United States companies stationed at Holly Springs, while the stars and stripes were borne aloft by one-armed exConfederate soldiers. ?- ?

Although years of experience in medicine had failed to accomplish a certain and sure remedy for this disease, and its effects, such as Sour Stomach, Heart-burn, Water-brash, Sick Headache, Costiveness, palpitation of the Heart, Liver Complaint, coming up of the food, low spirits, general debility, Ac., yet since the introduction of Green's August Flower, we believe there is no case of Dyspepsia that cannot be immediately relieved. 30,000 dozen sold last year without one case of failure reported. Go to your Druggist, John C. Kuykendal, and get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try it. Two doses will relieve you. Regular size 75 cts. August 31 35 eawly Questions for Every One to Answer. Are you troubled with Indigestion, Constipation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia or any disease of the Liver? Have you suffered for years and * found no relief from the use of medicines? Do J i vou have a faint appetite, and are you troubled at with feelings of languor? If you nave tnese feelings we know you have not tried the new discovery, Merrell'b Hepatine, at JOHN C. KUYKENDAL'S Drug Store. It is performing wonderful cures in this and all other communities where the people use it. It is pronounced by hi all as the best Liver Medicine in the world. Two doses will relieve the worst case of Dyspepsia or Constipation of the Bowels. Each bottle contains fifty doses, and a teaspoonful of this medicine in a wineglassful of water three times a day for one H( day, produces a most wonderful change. Where q the system is run down with loss of energv and appetite, or Dyspepsia, with all its train ot evil, , is effecting its deadly work, this remedy, Mer reel's Hepatine, never fails to bring about a speedy and permanent cure. Those who doubt the merit and virtues of this medicine and live from day to day without trying the Hepatine, have our sympathy, but can not be cured unless Ca they take the Medicine. ev October 5 40 tf ur I ~ HYMENEAL.
