A RADICAL PLOT TO OVERTHROW THE GOV? ERNMENT AND ESTABLISH MILITARY DES? POTISM?PREPARATION FOR ANOTHER CIV? IL WAR. Mr. Henry j. Raymond, editor of the New York j Times, writing to that paper, from his seat in Con? gress, on the 15th instant, dirulges the following very interesting facts: You may have noticed the passage in the House, a few days since, of a resolution offered by Gen. Paine, of Wisconsin, calling on the States to or? ganize, discipline and equip their militia, and di? recting that two-thirds of the arms, ordnance and ammunition now under custody of the General Government be distributed among the States?the distribution among the loyal States to take place immediately, and that among the States lately in rebellion to be postponed until further orders. The resolution cams up from the Committee on Military affairs, and was pushed to a vote, without debate or delay, under the previous question. It Attracted as littlo attention in Congress as it has in the country; and the public will doubtless receive with incredulity the assurance that it was intend? ed, by those who secured its passage, as the first step toward preparation for another civil war. Although no debate was had upon it, members were urged to vote for it by direct conversational appeals on the part of the few who were privy to its introduction. Some were told that, it was ne? cessary to enable uhe Southern loyalists to protect themselves; others that it was simply a matter of detail in the War Department; others that the arms must be taken out of the hands of the Pres? ident, and others that it was proposed at the in? stance of the Secretary of War. An appeal was made by Mr. Kasson, of Iowa, to allow debate npon it, as it seemed to be a matter of importance, but this was refused. Most of the leading and reflecting Radicals in Congress take this view of the political future : If the Fall elections result in the choice of North? ern Democrats, enough to constitute, when added to the members from the Southern States, a major? ity of the House, they assume that this majority, thus constituted, will claim to be the Congress, and will act accordingly ; and that they will be recognized by the President as the body to which he will send his message, and whose sessions he will, if the necessity should arise, protect by mili? tary force. They assert, on the other hand, that the Union members from the loyal States?if they constitute a majority from those States?will claim to be tho only legal Congress, and will, if neces? sary, invoke an insurrection of the people to main? tain them in that position. They do not in the least conceal their purpose, in the event of such a collision, to appeal to force, and to "drive the rival Congress, with the Presi? dent and his Cabinet and supporters, into tho Po? tomac," to use the language of the ablest and most sincere of their number. If you will recall the remarks of Mr. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, in last week's first caucus, you will see this move? ment clearly foreshadowed?indeed avowed. He declared his belief that an issue of force was rapidly approaching, and that we must be prepared to meet it. He acts, and all who co-operate with him in these measures profess to act, under the appre? hension that the President intends to resort to force?that he means to disperse tho present Con gross on its reassembling in December, if it refu? ses to admit the Southern members; and Mr. Farnsworth ascribed to Mr. Seward tho declaration that this Congress should never reassemble unless the Southern members were admitted?in support of this belief. I need scarcely say that Mr. Se? ward never made any remark of tho kind, nor that the project ascribed to the President is pure? ly an invention, or at least the crazy dream of a political nightmare. But in either case it serves the samo purpose. It covers, and is held to justi? fy, the determination to arouse the North, and pre? pare for a resort to force upon the assembling of the Foriieth Congress in extra or in regular scs - sion; and this determination is avowed. And the resolution to which I have referred, for an organi? zation of the militia and a distribution of arms in the Northern States, is tho initial step to its exe? cution. I do not propose to comment upon the result of Buch a movement. It is obvious that if any such contingency should arise, tho war would not be sectional, as was the last; it would bo a war of political parties and of neighborhoods. Not only have the great body of the Union Party in Con? gress no sympathy with these views and purposes, but they are in tho main ignorant and incredulous ?f their existence. That the extreme Radicals en? tertain them, however-, there is not the slightest doubt, and we know, from the experience of Se? cession in 1861, how few men it sometimes re? quires to plunge a great party or a great nation into war. -O-? Counterfeit Fractional Currency in the South.?A Washington letter to the Baltimore Transcript says: Reports received at the Treasury Department state that the Southern States are at present flooded with counterfeit United States notes, national bank notes and fractional currency of every denomination. One of the Treasury de? tectives, while on an official visit in one of tho Southern cities, observed' that an immense quan? tity of this spurious money is circulatiug there among all classes, who, with few exceptions, ac? cept it as readily as tho genuine. The detective having received, while making some trifling pur? chases, nearly one-half his change in counterfeit money, and being desirous of ascertaining some estimate of the amount of this trash in circulation, seized upon the money 'tills* of several merchants doing quite an extensive business, and discovered that about one-half thoir contents were counterfeit, which consisted of United States notes of tho va? rious issues and denominations of fractional cur? rency, and quite a number of counterfeits on the national banks of the North and West. A post? mistress in one of the Southern States recently re turncd to the Treasury S42.50, which she had re? ceived from the sale of internal revenue stamps, and upon examination $20 of the amount was de? tected as spurious, which unfortunately for her, she mast make good." -o-. ? A report is circulated to the effect that Gen. McClellan has been invited home to succeed Mr. Stauton in the War Department. f FBOM WASHINGTON. Washington, July 19?-In tho Senate, a hill was passed appropriating $50,000 to the Port? land sufferers. The House resolution to adjourn on the 25th was laid on the table. The bill to fund the national debt was taken up, and an amendment adopted prohibiting depositing money in national banks where there was a United States depository. The bill was then passed. It pro? vides for the payment of S180,000,000 ?anually on principal and interest of the United States debt. Another provision authorizes the excess of gold to be sold for United States notes in open market, when the sum in the Treasury is above 550,000,000, Mr. Trumbull offered a joint reso? lution recognizing Tennessee as a State, and as such entitled to all guarantees and rights, which was ordered to be printed. In the House, Mr. Stevens offered a resolution, the Senate concurring, that when Congress ad? journs, it adjourns to meet on Saturday, December 1, unless sooner called together; which power, in case of emergency, is hereby granted to the pre? siding officers of both Houses. Some objections being made to considering the resolution now, Mr. Stevens withdrew it; but gave notice that he should offer it to-morrow. Mr. Bingham called up the joint resolutions months ago reported from the Reconstruction Committee, providing for the ad? mission of Tennessee into the Union. Mr. Ste? vens opposed it by a motion to lay on tho table, which failed. Mr. Bingham offered a substiture, to at once restore the State to its powers and rela? tions to the General Government. Pending the subject, the House adjourned. This new-born zeal was superinduced by the reception of a tele? gram from Gov. Brownlow that the House of Rep? resentatives of Tennessee had ratified tho constitu? tional amendment by a vote of 43 against 11. Washington, July 20.?The Senate concurred in tho report of the Committee of Conference on the diplomatic appropriation bill, by which the mission to Portugal is abolished?the minister, Jas. E. Harvey having strongly endorsed the proposition in a letter to Secretary Seward, which found its way into the House. The amendment to the tariff bill from tho House was reported, with an amendment suspending the collection of the di? rect tax imposed by the Act of 1801, until Janua? ry, 18G8. The House passed, by 125 against 12, the joint resolution restoring Tennessee to her former proper political relations to the Union and de? claring her again entitled to be represented by Senators and Representatives duly elected and qualified, upon taking the oath of office required by the existing laws. The result was received with applause on the floor and galleries. The reso? lution was sent to the Senate for concurrence. The House then, by a largo majority, laid on tho table the bill heretofore reported from the Committeo on Reconstruction, specifying the terms on which the Southern States may bo re-admitted; also tabled Stevens' resolution?48 against 75?pro? viding for a recess for Congress till the first Sat? urday in December, and giving the presiding offi? cers of both houses authority to convene the mem? bers at any earlier period, should they think it necessary. The President to-day sent to the Senate for con? firmation the name of Henry Sfanbcrry, who had been nominated for the position of Attorney-Gen? eral of the United States. The President has nominated Jos. S. Wilson for Commissioner of the Land Office, in place of Judge Edmonds, who was j removed on account of extreme radicalism. Washington, July 21.?The Senate, to-day, pass- ! od a resolution extending, for five years, to the Alabama and Florida R. lt., the time for the pay? ment of its duties on railroad iron and relaying track. The House joint resolution for the admis? sion of Tennessee was taken up, in the Senate, and amended anew, a preamble being substituted, de? claring that Tennessee was seceded from the Gov? ernment, in 18G1, but now shows every disposition to conform to the Constitution and tho laws, and has adopted a resolution endorsing the slavery amendment to the Constitution, and, also, that pro. posed by tho present Congress. The preamble also announces that legislative authority alone is authorized to restore States under similar circum? stances. The amended resolution will bo sent back to the House for its concurrence. The House adopted a concurrent resolution, by five majority, providing that the officers of the two Houses shall adjourn their respective Houses, until the 2d day of October; and if, on that day, there was no quorum in either House, the presiding offi? cers shall adjourn both Houses to the first Satur? day in December. Rosseau made a speech in vin? dication of his caning of Grinnell, concluding by reading a copy of his resignation as a member of the House, to-day sent to tho Governor of Ken? tucky. Tho order of the Houso was then execu? ted, by Rosseau being called before the bar, when the Speaker reminded him that a resolution had been passed that ho be publicly reprimanded.? Nothing, he said, could add to the force of tho resolution, and he merely said that the gentleman was reprimanded accordingly. Washington, July 22.?The State Department has been advised that the following Fenian pris? oners have been released from Irish prisons, on condition o f returning forthwith to the United States: Daniel (j. Mykcns, Col. Burko, Bernard McDermot, Edward Morley and Kirwan. Tho Houso will probably adopt, to-morrow, the Senate's preamble and resolut ion admitting Ten? nessee, in place of its own. Advices received here by the Mexican legation report that the Austrian column was defeated by the Juarists. at Loyals Apeo, losing a large num? ber of killed, wounded and prisoners. The Im? perialists were about to abandon Hacotalpan. Washi.noto.v, July 23.?Letters from the city of Mexico assert that Maximilian signed a treaty with Dano, tho French Minister, which agrees that 20,000 French troops will remain in Mexico five years, serving under the Mexican flag. Na? poleon agrees to furnish Maximilian $500,000 per month for five years, receiving as security for this and other claims the railroad from Vera Cruz to the oity of Mexico ; the revenuo to be collected by French officials. The Houso to-day, concurred in the Senate's amendment to the resolution admitting Tennessee. It is probable that tho President will sign the joint resolution so as to provide for the admission, of Tennessee Representatives, but he will protest against sending it to him, because he has nothing to do with the admission of members of Congress, and he will further protest the preamble as not stating the truth, inasmuch as it asserts that the Tennessee Legislature has adopted the proposed amendment to the Constitution, when, in fact, it has not been adopted by a quorum of both branches of the Legislature. Schenck offered a resolution calling on the Presi? dent to know if application has been made for the pardon of Major-General Pickett, and if steps have been taken for his trial on the charge of execution of Union soldiers, which was passed. Spalding offered a resolution, which was agreed to, requesting the President to cause the prosecu? tion in United States courts against Fenian pris? oners to be discontinued, if not incompatible with St * the public interest. The President has pardoned A. E. Maxwell, for meriy Confederate Senator from Florida. There is barely * quorum of the House here, and the Speaker declines granting any more leaves of absence. The Senat? has confirmed Henry Stanbury to be Attorney-General of the United States ; and John A. Cline, to the collector of Customs at Vicksburg, Mississippi; Andrew McDowell, to be Assistant Treasurer of the United States at Charleston. ? - GLEANINGS FROM OUR EXCHANGES. ?

A recent Paris letter says that tho Emperor has again shown his Southern sympathies in a very marked manner, and received, with unusual cor? diality, General Beauregard, who was staying at tho Grand Hotel, and sent a chamberlain to show him over to the Corps Legislatif, where there hap? pened to be going on, just then, a peace demon? stration, which was brought about by a speech of M. Leavadeer. ? Mrs. Octavia Walton Levert has republished her "Souvenirs of Travel," through the New York house of Carleton. ? Robt. M. Douglas, a son of the "Little Giant," recently delivered an oration at the Jesuits' Col? lege, Georgetown, D. C, on "The death of Hanni? bal." ?

The honorary degreee of D. D. was recently conferred on Bishop Wilmer, of Alabama, by the University of Mississippi. ? George Peabody has accepted an invitation to visit Zanesville, Ohio, before he returns to Eu- I rope. Among the latest benevolent deeds, is the gift of $50,000 apiece to each of his four nephews in this country. One of them, Mr. Arthur Pca body, was formerly the "local" of tho Zanesvillo Courier. ? It is reported that a marked change in the Horse Shoe Falls at Niagara, bos occured within a few days. Large portions of rock have given way in the center of the shoe, giving the fall more of a triangular appearance, which is said to add to its beauty. It has been demonstrated that the Falls recede ten or twelve inches a year. ? Gov. Pat ton has reached the capital of Ala? bama from his recent Western tourjto provide food for tho destitute of the State.

But his speeches and shorter responses are generally very infelioitous and coarse, and show him to be much more of a bear than lion. ? Gen. John A. Dix has written a letter to Senator Doolittle fully approving the Philadelphia Convention. He says he indorses the call, its propositions, its reasonings, and its arguments, and that he will do all in his power to carry them out.

The War Department has ordered, at the in? stance of the President, that all persons who are undergoing sentence by Military Courts, and have been imprisoned six months, except those who are under sentence for the crimo of murder, arson and rape, and excepting those who are under sentence at the Tortugas, be discharged from imprisonment, and the residue of the sentence remitted.

Cabinet makers have his name down on the slate as Secretary Harlan's successor. The unrecon? structed patriots of the South demand one of the seats in the Cabinet, and Sharkey is their availa? ble representative. "Secretary Harlan is ready to go at any time, but may not resign for several days, while the course of Secretary Stanton is more uncertain, although he is as unsatisfied as any of the othors in his dis? approval of the President's course." 1 &\)t Iv?dltymctx.

Wilkes, Esq., delivered at Cedar Falls, Greenville District, in May last, excludes the customary va? riety from our outside pages, but will amply repay perusal. This admirable effort of Col. Wilkes gives striking proof of his ability and eloquence, were it necessary to introduce him to the citizens of this section. But happily for us, the produc? tions of his facile and ready pen are familiar to all our readers, and they will not fail to thank us for the publication of this chaste and appropriate ad? dress. -? THE WEATHER AND CROPS. In many parts of our District there is great anxiety and suffering for lack of rain, some sections having been without a "season" for five or six weeks. It gives us pleasure, howevtr, to learn that there arc a few farmers who have a smiling prospect before them, and in all probability will make an average crop. But, "like angels' visits, they are few and far between." Almost every one complains of the- drought, and the rain on last Sat? urday was limited and unsatisfactory. Another rain on Tuesday, perhaps effected more general good. We hope so. -? DEATH OF REV. NATHAN H0YT, D D. The numerous friends of the Rev. Nathan Hott, D. D., of Athens, Geo., throughout South Carolina, will scarcely be surprised to learn of his demise, which occurred on Thursday the 12th inst., at his residence, in the 74th year of his age. Dr. Hott had been the pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Athens for more than thirty-five years, and was distinguished for a long and useful life of piety, zeal and godly example. He was eminently be? loved and respected by his congregation, and none the less esteemed by the community in which he had lived and served so faithfully as a Christian minister. -<t> THE DISTRICT MEETING ON MONDAY. The attendance of citizens on Monday was quite respectable for numbers and doubly so for charac? ter and intelligence. We have rarely seen an as? semblage in this District embodying more of the virtue and respectability of the people. Grave, thoughtful men, well advanced in life, interspersed with here and there a bronzed "veteran" who had undergone the hardships and privations of army life in defence of "altars and sires," combined to induce the opinion that this gathering represented faithfully the masses. The action was harmonious, and there seemed to prevail a spirit of earnestness and honest intention in the business which en? gaged tho minds of those present. The admirable address of Governor Oitn convinced the doubting, if there were such in the meeting, of the feasi? bility and propriety of South Carolina participating in this movement to sustain the policy of the Presi? dent, and when the distinguished speaker averted to the dangers yet before us, unless the Radical party should be defeated in the next Congress, his words evidently produced a decided impression. The proceedings of the meeting, ns furnished by the Socretary, will be found in another plucc. -?, ANOTHER ATROCIOUS MURDER. Our community was startled on Thursday eve? ning last, upon the arrival of the train from Col? umbia, to learn of an atrocious and brutal murder which had been perpetrated that day upon tho person of Ama2iah Peyton, a free negro formerly residing in this place and generally esteemed by the citizens. The assault, which resulted in the death of Peyton, occurred at Hodges' Depot, in Abbeville District, and under the following cir? cumstances, as we have heard them : It seems that Peyton was returning to his former homo in An? derson, from New York, and reaching Cokesbury, or Hodges' Depot, got out of the train and went to the dinner-house, where he was met by ono Reu? ben L. Golding, a notorious and desperate char? acter, demanding to know his busiuess. The negro responded that he wanted to get something to eat, when Golding said to him that he could not get it, and asked him the time of day ; the negro pulled out his watch, which Goi.di.no attempted to jerk from him, and did succeed in getting a piece of the chain. Both then stepped back a few paces, when Golding drew a pistol and deliberately shot the negro, tho ball entering just above tho left groin. The reckless wretch then walked leisurely away, while spectators gave tho wounded man the assistance which was absolutely necessary to sus? tain life even a very short time. Being no phy? sician at hand, it was deemed advisable that he should come directly on to Anderson; reaching here, he was met by relatives and friends, but before they had gone fifty yards from the Depot with him, he breathed his last. This is a brief, succinct and authentic account of ono of the most shameless murders that has ever transpired in this section of the country. There was no cause of provocation on the part of the deceased, 60 far as wo could learn, and we have made diligent inquiry upon the subject?while the reckless and desper? ate character of the murderer renders the circum? stance still more appalling. The deceased, Amaziah Peyton, was reared in this vicinity, and as we have before stated, was generally' esteemed and respected by the citizens. Several years ago, circumstances over which he had no control, or perhaps made use of by others, induced him to leave the State. He went to New York, where he gained an honest livelihood, and was returning on a visit to his family when he met with so tragic a fate. The community of Ander? son truly sympathizes with the relatives and friends of the deceased, arid utterly execrate the name of the man who so foully and wickedly deprived this honest, upright negro of life. And we but echo the sentiment of every thoughtful and right-minded person in the District when heartily wishing that this vile offender against tho laws of God and man may meet condign punishment for his dastardly, cowardly act. He has not been arrested at the time of this writing. ? A Tennes8ecan appeared in a St. Louis broker's office last Thursday with $30,000 in gold which he stated had been buried for nearly five THE MASONIC CELEBRATION AT PEEECETOWH. It was our privilege on Tuesday, 24th inst., to be in attendance on the Masonic Celebration at Piercclown, in the upper portion of this District, but want of space in this issue prevents an ex? tended notice of the occasion. Upon arriving at the place, we immediately joined the brethren at the Lodge Room, from whence a procession of near two hundred Masons of various Lodges was formed and marched to the stand, around which had as? sembled an immense concourse of ladies and gen? tlemen. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. J. M. Carlisle, after which Bro. D. J. Baenett introduced Capt. Thomas Hall, who en? tertained the audience for three quarters of an hour in a polished and excellent address upon the subject of Masonry. The next speaker, Rev. W. E. Walters, for more than an hour illustrated the beauties and advantages of the Order, combatting popular errors in regard to the institution and claiming its superiority for general good. Both addresses were well-conceived and happily de? livered, and impressed the vast auditory with the excellence and purity of the principles advocated. When the speaking was concluded, the procession wa3 reformed and marched again to the Lodge, and the entire assemblage invited to participate in the discussion of tempting eatables, which were spread with prodigal but fair hands for the enter? tainment of the inner man. It was not long ere the various baskets and tables were duly consulted, and everybody was diving into the mysteries of the cuisine. None were allowed to go away empty, but on the contrary each individual was surfeited ?almost?with the profuse array of substantiate and delicacies. The entire day passed off with unalloyed pleas? ure and gratification, an i especially were the friends of Masonry glad to observe perfect good order and sobriety reigning throughout the occa? sion. The hospitality and liberality of the coin" munity will long be remembered by the hundreds of strangers who were the recipients of courteous, kind and generous attentions. ^ GEN. GRANT'S LAST ORDER. The recent order of Lieu ;. Gen. Grant,?direct? ing tho military authorities; throughout the South to make arrests and hold in custody such offenders against the law as civil officers, for any reason whatever, fail to take charge of and prosecute,? seems to have commenced its work of mischief al? ready. For instance, a respectable merchant of Fredericksburg, Va., the other day, threw an old quid of tobacco from his mouth, and accidently came close to a dainty Cuffeo with the offensive ar? ticle ; whereupon, valiant frccdman utters execra? tions against the merchant, which is resented by a few licks across the head with a hammer, and frcedman applies for a warrant of arrest. The magistrate, deeming Cuffcc first at fault, and find? ing no bodily injury inflicted, refuses to issue the warrant upon such causeless grounds, and straight? way the merchant is arrested by the military, under Grant's last order, and is held until such time as the civil authorities choose to take cognizance of the case. Here, then, is a new Pandora's Box opened for the special entertainment and delight of the South? ern people. Just as the quiet and peaceable citi? zens of South Carolina had congratulated them? selves, for the second or third time, upon the restora? tion of civil law, their hopes are dashed by this rude and blunt chieftain in the art militaire, and I hey are left to contemplate t'-tc pleasant prospect of being incarcerated, forsooth, because a civil magistrate refuses to recognize the right of the amiable Cuffce to demand a warrant upon unsup? ported charges ! Verily, these are evil times! But, in almost the language of the poet, 'Twas ever thus, from "Confed'rate" hours, We've seen our fondest hopes decay. However, wo must keep cool, and be chary of sin? ning against the inevitable frcedmcn, whose im? portance is being daily magnified and intensified, if possible. DUE WEST FEMALE COLLEGE.

For the Intelligencer. PUBLIC MEETING. Pursuant to previous notice, a meeting of the citizens of Anderson District was convened in the Court House on Monday, 23rd instant, for tho pur? pose of appointing delegates to the State Conven? tion, to be held in Columbia on the 1st of August. On motion of Col. John Martin, the Hon. R. F. Simpson was called to the Chair, and John C. Whitfield requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman called upon His Excellency James L. Orr to explain the object of the meeting. On motion of Gen. J. W. Harrison, a Committee of Five was appointed to draft suitable resolu? tions. The Chair appointed Gen. J. W. Harrison, Maj. James Thompson, T. H. McCann, R. N. Wright and James A. Hoyt. While the Committee was preparing the resolu? tions, W. H. Trescott, Esq., was called upon to address the meeting, and responded in a clear and forcible manner, pointing out tho utility of send? ing delegates to the Convention, and also of send? ing our ablest and wisest men. The Committee appointed to draft resolutions submitted the following, which were read and adopted, to wit: Resolved, That we, the citizens of Anderson Dis? trict, in primary meeting assembled, cordially en? dorse the objects of the proposed National Union Convention, and approve the action of Gov. Orr in seeking to have this State duly represented on that occasion. Resolved, That we heartily commend the wisdom, firmness and patriotism of Andrew Johnson's ad? ministration, and are willing to contribute the weight of our influence, however feeble it may be, to tho potriotic purpose of sustatning his just and equal administration of the laws and firm adhe? rence to the Constitution. Resolved, That a Committee of Nine be appointed to nominate suitable persons to represent this Lis trict in the approaching State Convention. Under the last resolution, the Chair appointed Messrs. Thomas H. Russell, B. F. Crayton, John Martin, M. S. McCay, John B. Watson, J. W. Nor ris, jr., R. N. Wright, Joseph Harris and T. T Skelton, which Committee subsequently reported the following named gentlemen, to represent this District in the State Convention, viz : Hon. J. L. Orr, Chairman, J. W. Harrison, J. B. Sittou, F. E. Harrison, W. H. Trescott, James A. Hoyt, W. H. D. Gaillard, T. H. McCann, W. S. Pickens, Rev. J. S. Murray, H. R. Vandiver, J. P. Reed, A. 0. Norris, Rev. A. Rice, J. J. Shirley, Rev. B. F. Mauldin, G. W. Cox, James Thomson, John M. Simpson, Dr. J. H. Reid, W. S. Shaw and J. W. Norris, jr. The above nominations were confirmed. On motion, it was ordered that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Anderson In? telligencer and Appeal. After which the meeting adjourned. R. F. SIMPSON, Chm'n. John C.
