The Old Fort celebration at Ninety-Six, on the 18th instant, was the grandest that has been seen in the Piedmont section for years. The people turned out en masse, and the crowd was swelled by several visiting military companies. From the Journal of Commerce we copy the following account of the commemorative exercises: Upon the arrival of the special trains, containing the Governor and other distinguished - ? -x. .t- k.. visitors, a saiuie 01 imrieeu guus nas uicu uj the Columbia Artillery, immediately following which a line was formed and the march was taken up. It was headed by the Columbia Silver Cornet Band, and then came the Governor's Guards, Richland Rifles, Butler R'flemen of Hodges, Newberry Rifles, the Greenwood Brass Band, Abbeville Rifles, Edgefield Hussars, Columbia Flying Artil- 1 lery, Anderson Brass Band, and the Star Fort Guards of Ninety-Six, innumerable carriages, buggies and wagons bringing up the rear. The roads, owing to the heavy rains, I were in a wretched condition, and were a ! forcible reminder to many of the boys of the campaigns on the fields of Virginia. < Tall and stately pines and massive oaks i have grown up in and around the old fort- : ress, which makes it a pleasant retreat during ! these hot summer days. The ramparts of the i fortress are remarkably well preserved, and | show plainly to have been constructed under < the supervision of men of experience. An immense concourse of people, estimated at > from 5,000 to 6,000, were on the grounds, all f of whom seemed to be very enthusiastic for ] the success of the celebration. A large and < comfortable stand was erected in a very shady I nook of the fort, and was tastefully garland- i ed with evergreens. From it was suspended j the old flag of the Orr Rifles, in which were < twenty-eight bullet holes, and from beneath j which seventeen men had been shot down. | The staff had been broken twice. This flag I was in only one fight, but the above evidences 1 prove it to have been a pretty severe one. A f large banner was hung in front of the stand, i on which was inscribed, in letters made of i evergreens. "1781. Greene ; 1878, Hampton." t There were exhibited on the stand old hatcheta, tomahawks, etc., made of stone by the Indians. There were also on exhibition cannon balls, grapeshot, and other war materials, which had been taken from the walls of the fort, some of which were carried away by the Columbia boys as Bouvenirs. The Dext thing in order was a grand re view of the troops by the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, and ex-Governor Bonham, which proved very creditable to all the companies. It was very remarkable during the last campaign, that Governor Hampton was never interrupted in one of his appointments by rain, and the circumstance of to-day was the more remarkable from the fact that at 10 A. M., there was a heavy rain falling and not a speck of clear sky could be seeu; while at half-past 11 the sun came forth in all its i splendor and the clouds were dispersed for the i remainder of the day. There was another salute of thirteen guns . from the Columbia Flying Artillery, after ( which the Rev. Mr. Hundley, chaplain of the ? Edgefield Rifles, opened the exercises with an 1 impressive and appropriate prayer. 1 After prayer by the chaplain, Governor t Hampton was introduced, who spoke as follows: GOV. HAMJTUJN S AUlJKtSS. ( My friends, ladies and gentlemen: It is ' _ needless for roe to say how much gratified I am to meet such a lerge body of my friends, J who come from four counties to commemorate 1 this great day. Tnia is indeed a pleasaut occa- i sion.and it superadds to the ordinary pleasures < of national celebrations, attractive features s Dever presented before. Here I am beneath ' these two sacred mementoes of our struggles ' for independence, (pointiug at the flags) aud < lookiug at them, I might be tempted to go i back and speak of the scenes through which I this battle-torn flag passed when Light Horse ' Harry, the father of the great Robert E. Lee, I led his forces on to victory; and gazing up- I on the other emblem, that flag, which is even 1 worse tattered than this, I might be tempted i to speak of the scenes through which it too i passed, and in that way lead off and for- t get the object of our meeting here. I come { here to call up the memories of the past only ? in so far as they may prove incentives to our patriotism. By looking back at our various 1 experiences, and studying our past actions, f we may, if we profit by them, be enabled to I avoid many mistakes which we before com- < raitted. Therefore, in referring to the mem- J ories of the past, I do so to arouse your pa- ? triotism. The men who fought here nearly a ? * century ago, were self-sacrificing, devoted patriots, who sacrificed personal advancement, < ambition and all else for the good of their i ( country. All I ask is for you to imitate their < example, and be as true as they were. I call t upon you in honor of their memories to be ( true to your lineage, your God, and your < country. Be just what your forefathers were \ one hundred years ago. Their battle-cry was 1 "God and our country," and let yours be the ? same. Let me, then, my friends?for I may ? not have another opportunity of meeting you t this summer?point to what you have accom- < plished in the past. You have made glorious t achievements, but go forward aud you can yet < make still greater achievements in the coming ? future. Whatever you accomplished in the I past, it was done by rallying as one man. It 1 was not my purpose, when 1 began speaking, to touch upon politics, but I find myself drifting in that direction. It is the duty of every man to take an interest in politics, but there are occasions when it is unwise to parade political views upon an audience. I cannot help contrasting the present condition of State affairs with the condition in which they were two years ago. We, here in South Carolina, had the most difficult of all problems to solve : how two different races, entirely different from each other, could live together in peace and prosperity. We have solved that problem. ! In the dark days of 1876, when our people had almost lost hope and begun to despair, | when it seemed as if even God had forsaken j them, they, with a determined effort, rallied , as one man under the banner of home rule and honest government, and disenthralled 1 themselves from the galling yoke of tyranny j which had so long borne upon their necks. What were the signs that this banner bore? Equal rights and protection to all classes of people withiu the borders of the State. When this banner was flung to the breeze you rallied around it, and wrought what I regard as a po-' litical miracle. In that struggle we were fighting for all that made life dear; joining hands and striking as one man, we gained the greatest victory recorded in history. What we did then, we can do again. We can gaiu just as glorious a victory in 1878; yes and in 1880. If any one had predicted such results he would have been regarded a wild prophet. Let us look at the presentcondition of South Carolina. Peace and prosperity are within our borders, and good-will and friendship exist between the white and black. Every one seems sat- ! isfied with the present administration, and is ' devoted to the complete redemption of the 1 State. Taxes have been reduced by our I Democratic Legislature; not as much as I de- 1 sire, it is true, but enough to show that the I State affairs are conducted in a fair and economical manner. It must be remembered ] that we have had to pay the debts contracted by the Radical party, and this has been in the way of a further reduction of taxes. I thiol what we have done in this line is indeed re markable. But I stand here to repeat whal I have always said before?1 am in favor Oj paying all our debts. Many of these wert contracted in fraud, it is true, but it is far bet ter to pay them as far as toe can and then say ti our creditors, we have done all that roe can anc you must noio come to our assistance. (Ap plause.) When I was called upon to be th( standard-bearer of the Democratic party ir 1876, I ran under the banner of reform and good government. The colored people be lieved the pledges that I then made, cam( to ray support, and I say here, they elected me. I am gratified that they still have con fidence in me and the Democratic party, and will support us again. The platform of th< Democratic party was what gave us success I repeat what I said when it was adopted that it is strong enough and broad enough foi every man in the State to stand upon. If w? adopt the platform of 1876, which secures the rights of every man, we can gain victor) again. I now say that if the people call upor me to serve them again as Governor aud I arc nominated, I will stand on the platform Oj iR7ft nr nnnp. at. all. flmmense aDDlause. The people of South Carolina can never sit contented beneath their own vine and fig tree until we have a national Democratic Admin istration, and we must work unceasingly foi this. In two years more, all the colored peopie in South Carolina will be Democrats Some days ago I received a letter from a colored man, who lives in the great Republican State of Illinois?Lincoln's State?where abc 7e all other places in the world, one would think the colored people ought to have their rights. Well, after apologiziug for writing the letter, the colored man went on to state how he had been a zealous supporter of Tilden and Hendricks, and had worked for them; that on this account the people mobbed him, and he could not live in peace within the State. He went on to say that he was anxious to come to my State, where colored people were allowed to vote the Democratic ticket without being bull-dozed. (Laughter.) Well, I had the pleasure not long ago of showing the letter to President Hayes. I can Hand here, and before my God declare that [ have kept every pledge I made to the colored people, and done my whole duty toward uhera. If I am called upon again, I shall follow the same liue of policy. [Applause.] tt is a matter of little consequence who you alect Governor, Lieutenant-Governor or Adutant and Inspector-General, but the all important question is, who are you going to send ;o the Legislature? You must send your rery best men, and force them to go. I have i right to say this, because the people came to ue, and said, you must run, and I made the lacrifice, and ran. If I was willing to make .his sacrifice, and it was a sacrifice, you should lo the same. Pick out the best meu you possibly can. I am glad to say I have not nuch fear on this score when I see a McGowin and a Bonham nominated for the Senate. Do that, and my word for it, it will be but a ihort time before peace and prosperity will iless this fair land of ours [Prolonged and leafening applause.] As soon as Governor Hampton had finished his speech, which was -i 1 istenea to wun me ciusesi swuuuu, co^iouj >y the colored people, the baod struck up, )ut the music could hardly be heard for the :ontiauous cheering. Correspondence of the Yorkvitle Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. Chester, June 24, 1878. Our town was visited with a violent storm >f wind and rain on last Tuesday evening. Vivid flashes of lightning were followed by oud peals of thunder, and rain poured down n torrents. The lightning struck the chiroley of a small house near the depot, ran lown into a room and spent its force upon a itove, damaging it considerably. Fortunatey no person was in the room at the time, [lain has been abundant in every section of his county during the present season, and, as i consequence, farmers are rejoicing in the srospect of splendid crops of both corn and intton. The agricultural outlook has never jeen brighter than at present. Arnold Flack, an old colored man from North Carolina, who has been in the habit 'or several years of selling chickens and eggs n this market, was robbed of $30 on Tuesiay night. As a shelter from the storm, he c. --r? iOUgni. reiuge iu a uiau&suiibu ouu^. > ,i.,v ;here, Joe Foster, and another colored man vhose name he did not know, appeared, and lesired to spend the night with him. The old nan was not pleased with their society, for ;he suspicion was raised that their intentions vere evil. Foster had been engaged during he day in selling chickens for him, and knew ihat he had money. So the old fellow hid lis money under a sill of the house, thinking t would be entirely safe in that place. The lext morning, to his great sorrow, he found ihat the treasure had disappeared. After jiving an account of the stealing, and making in affidavit thereto, a warrant was issued by Trial Justice McDonald for the arrest of Foster. The warrant was executed, and on 'ailure of the accused to give bail for his apjearance at the next terra of the Court of jeneral Sessions, he was confined in jail. His companion, who was a party to the crime, md shared in the stolen money, has not been irrested. When my correspondence of last week wa9 dosed, the grand jury was engaged in the ;onsideration of the State vs. Hal Chalk, harged with rape. No bill was found against ;he defendaut. The grand jury were then iccupied for a short time in considering the ;ase of the State vs. Judy Robbins, charged vith the murder of her own child. A true )ill was found, but in consequence of the ablence of an important witness, the Solicitor i9ked for the postponement of the trial until ,he October term of the Court, and it was so >rdered. The criminal business having been ransacted, the grand and petit juries were lismissed, and the Court of General Sessions idjourned sine die. Only oue case wa9 tried before a petit jury, the prominent facts of which have already been given. Solicitor jaston did not have the opportunity of displaying his power of prosecuting criminals, >r he would have done so with the same abilty and zeal that have characterized his efforts on previous occasions. After the transaction of some civil business on Wednesday norning, the labors of Judge Shaw were finshed at this place, and he left in the afternoon for his home in Sumter. The report of the grand jury, of which Mr. E. E. Cornwell was foreman, was brief, *nnvtr imnnrfun^ fanto nr Qiirr IUU UUiitaiUCU UV Wl J Iiuj/vivwuv tvvw v* w-& jeetions. It was, for the most part, a statement of the condition of the various public offices of the county, which were reported to ae good. Two tracts of land are advertised for sale ay Sheriff Walker on the 1st Monday of aext month. One of these contains 943 acres, md will be sold to satisfy a judgment recovjred at the suit of Miss Mary Davie vs. C. B. Jones. The other tract contains 278 acres, ind will be sold at the suit of Samusl Mays iis. W. W. Worthy. Mr. John Hood showed me a cotton bloom 3n Friday. This is the first of the season. Mr. Hood is planting in the vicinity of town, md is highly pleased with the agricultural prospect. This has been a splendid season for Irish potatoes. They are not only very abundant, but of a very large size. A good friend of mine sent me a basket of potatoes to see, from which ten were selected, placed upon the jcales, and weighed seven pounds. This is tolerably hard to beat. A very heavy rain fell in this county on Friday afternoon. In many places it was very destructive to corn. One farmer told me that the injury to his com was so great that he intended to replant. There were many others, he said, whose corn had suffered the same unhappy fate. The Lee Light Infantry propose giving a public entertainment at this place on the I evening of the 3rd of July. The Catawba s Rifles, of Rock Hill, and the Jenkins Rifles, : of Yorkville, are expected to be present on the merry occasion. The entertainment will t partake of the nature of a dramatic performf I ance, and will, doubtless, be a great success, j1 The congregation of St. Mark's Episcopal I Church, were favored with two excellent Ber> mons by Rev. R. P. JohnBon on yesterday. I The morning discourse was based upon the - text, "Not slothful in business, fervent in ; spirit, serving the Lord." The sermon in i the afternoon was explanatory of the act of I | our Lord in washing the disciples' feet. Qui. The Famine in Brazil. I The New York Journal of Commvrct j publishes the following abstract of a letter ! from Brazil, describing the ravages of famine i in some of the provinces of that country : I "Pernambuco advices to May 13, state that 1 the drought continues with all its horror in , the centres of the various provinces of the ' V, oo moll qq that nf Pprrmmhtion. There j UU1 HU UO TV VII (*w Viiww v? * V ... are now no hopes of planting cotton for want 1 of rains; in this branch, therefore, it is tier' tain that we shall have no crop this year. For the sugar canes, however, rains may yet arI rive in time if they come soon; if not, the [ sugar crop also will be very small. That ! which is finishing would have been an impor| taut one if the blazing rays of the sun had not dried up and left so little juice. As for' cereals, if it should not rain, the want of ' them will be absolute and the people continue to suffer the consequences of famine, daily ' more frightful. Succor is most difficult for f want of conveyance on account of not having | water and food for the animals. The famished population flock in bands to the ca>pi' tals of the provinces, and it causes horror to 1 see these unfortunates, almost naked and thin as corpses, wan and enfeebled by weariness 1 -with the long and painful journey they have 1 undergone, and suffering from the effects of diseases produced by the wild roots and other substances they have eaten. The situation is most melancholy. In the meantime the prices of the leading necessaries of life have risea." By every consideration of profit and propriety, the blood should be kept absolutely pure by using Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture. ^financial anb Commercial. YORKVILLE, June 2<5.-Cotton, 8 to 104.

The Liver is the imperial organ of the whole human system, as it controls the life, health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are the natural result. The digestion of food, the movements of the heart and blood, the action of the brain and nervous system, are all immediately connected with the workings of the Liver. It has been successfully proved that Green's August Flower is unequaled in curing all persons afllicted with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint, and all the numerous symptoms that result from an unhealthy condition of the Liver and Stomach.

The human stomach and liver are fruitful sources of life's comforts ; or, disordered and diseased, they tingle misery along every nerve and through every artery. The man or woman with (food di(jestion see beauty as they walk, and overcome obstacles they meet in the routine of life, where the dyspeptic sees only gloom and stumbles and growls at even imaginary objects. The world needs two or three new kinds of medicine before death can be perfectly abolished ; but that many lives have been prolonged, and many sufferers from Liver disease, Dyspepsia, and Headache have been cured by Merrill's Hepatine, is no longer a doubt.
