"In several sections of the District, the caterpillar and. army worm have made their appearance, though tt is too late to result in much damage to the cotton crop. Only a few farmers report any injury from these swarming visitors, and many agree th*t tboir appearance will prova beneficial rather than otherwise, by stripping the leaves, and allowing the cotton lo -.open tnoro rapidly, in ad? vance of the frost; It will be remembered that these iusects appeared in this region last year. BUSINESS^ 1ST ANDERSON. . - We are glad to chronicle the fact that business lit Anderson baa. revived considerably during the -past week. Tho merchants are now receiving their fall and winter supplies, and will doubtless inform the public of the particular attractions they have on hand. The farmers are bringing- forward their cotton, and although prices have been some? what depressed, good figures are realized* Alto? gether, the prospect is by no means gloomy, and we trust that a steady and increasing busiuess is in store for our enterprising people. PROVIDENCE CAMPGROUND. Wc are in rocsipt of a short communication from *n esteemed- firbnd in tho neighborhood of Provi? dence, inviting Oof". R. S. Hill to address tlie peo? ple-in thai vicinity on political topics, at such lime as be may deem proper to designate through theso columns. The absence of Col. II.. from" the Dis? trict nt the present time prevents an appointment being made for this week, and we respectfully sug? gest that our friends in that neighborhood should consult with the oanvasseca on next Monday nt tits place,, and arrange for the meeting. It is hoped that there will be a series of meetings, in every section of the District, and Providence ought to be included in the series. COLORED DEMOCRATS. It is- generally known in the District that efforts have been, made to organize a Democratic clob of colored persons, in thi.s village. We arc not inclined to publish particulars concerning these efforts, but are prepared to offer a word of advice. Suffice it to say, that the result has been discouraging, and has proven that the negroes are thoroughly imbued with false doctrines, besides beingilediastray, by fear of their leaders. After patient forbearance and untiring zeal to* convince them of the deception practiced by their Radical friends, so-called, we are convinced that only one course ought to be pursued by employers, which is to give them warning that when existing contracts are terminated, further encouragement will not be given to Radical adherents. Let this be the de? termination, of every white man in the District, and let our actions conform to this resolution. It is idling away time to talk politics with them?give ihsm an argument plainly to be understood. DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN. . We are pained to record the death of Captain William Netitt, an aged uik! highly respeciable citizen.of. this District, which sad eveut occurred oi-.his rcsideucc near tins village- on Monday hist, after au illness of only a few days. lie was a na rive of Maryland, and emigrated wiipn quite young to Faitficld District, in this State, where he mar? ried and continued lo reside for many years. He "".'ise to this Di-tricf sotne thirty years ago, and niis always been greatly esteemed asa citizen of uy. igul character and honest faithfulness to so? ciety. He was a-deacon of tho Baptist Church at the time of his death and for many years previous, and had been a member of that denomination for more than a half century. Ilu commanded to com? pany in the war of 1812, and was stationed some? where on the const, wo believe. After a long life of usefulness and honor, with a numerous line of j descendants to mourn his departure from this world, he has been gathered to his fathers, and is bow enjoying the rest that remains for the finally faithful. We are informed that this aged patriarch ban often ^pressed a desire, of late, to witness the country once more at pence, find witii this excep? tion, was perfectly resigned to death. His illness itas of short duration, und only three d.tys before being called to the realities of an eternal world, he was engaged in tho ordinary duties of lifo. He' was nearly eighty-five years old, and was regular in attendance upon divine worship, up to the Sab? bath.before the illness which terminated his career noon earth. ( ITEjSIS-EDITORIAI A1TD OTHERWISE. ? Lieut, Beechcr, son of Henry Ward Bcecher, has been killed by the Indians. ? Robt.

Distin? guished speakers nre invited and the arrangements are on a large scale,, says the Herald. ? Indiana is full of enthusiasm for Seymour and Bhiir. Letters from leading Democrats declare that they are having a thorough canvass, and that they are gaining strength daily. ? A Democratic mass meeting and barbecuo is to come olf at Orangeburg, on Saturday next, the tho 3d of October. A number of prominent gen? tlemen are expected to deliver addresses. ? The Boston Advertiser says that the Southern papers are generally edited in royal style?Pome royal. Northern (Radical) papers are conducted differently?indifferently, so far as the truth is .concerned ? The latest rumor respecting our distinguished townsman. Governor Orr, is contained in the state? ment in Northern prints that he has determined to take up his residence in St. Joseph, Mo., and to resume the practice of law. ? A. M. Boozer, of Lexington, son of the Lieu? tenant Governor, has received the appointment of clerk of the Supreme Court, by their Honors, As? sociate Justices Willard and H?ge. "Wbere> oh, where is the good old Moses !" ? Hon. A. H. Stephens was in Augusta a few days ago, returning home from the Virginia Springs, with his health much impreved. He brings good tidings from the Northern and Western canvass. ? The work on the Columbia and Augusta Railroad is progressing rapidly, and a large num? ber of hands are employed. Last week an engine ran through the streets of Graniteville, that por? tion of the roadbcing. completed. ? The Edgefield Advertiser of last week chroni? cles a fatal rencoutre near Cinu's store, on Satur? day, 19th instant, between Mr. Wade Padgett and a young man by tho name of Corley, which re? sulted in the death of the former. ? A despatch from St. Louis states that General Hancock still remains at Longwood, at tho resi? dence of his mother-in-law, near Carondelet. He is suffering from the reopening of the wound he received at Gettysburg. ? The irresponsible and vagrant body, known as the South Carolina Legislature, adjourned on Saturday last, after a session of serenfy-two days.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has an article on the prospects of the different Congressional districts in Ohio, and concludes it by saying: "-?nFess there are great changes in the canvass from what it now appears, the Democracy will have a majority of the next Ohio delegation." ? Congress met on the 21st, with barely a quo? rum in the House. A joint resolution was adopted, adjourning? to the 16th of October, and then, un? less otherwise ordered, to the 10th day of Novem? ber, and then, unless otherwise ordered, to the first Monday in December. ? Leslie, the carpet-bag Senater from Barnwell, was suspended from office for six months, which will exclude him during the regular session. His indignation speech reported last week brought about this result, which is a novol mode of par? liamentary punishment". ? We learn that a difficulty occurred between two citizens of Edgefield, Abney and Perry, at a political meeting near Huiett's store, on Friday last, in which the first-named gentleman lost his lite, being shot by a brother of his antagonist. The difficulty was- of long standing, and had noth? ing to do with politics*. ? Mr. D. Bieman, Demooralic Scnnfor from Oconee, has eutered suit against N. G. Parker, so called State Treasurer, for the recovery of certain moneys paid for the redemption of mules seized by Parker, while he was commanding some negro troops in Walhalla, in 1865. Mr. Bieman claims ?1,000 damages. ? It is stated among the direst of the calamities produced by the recent terrible earthquake in South America, that it swallowed three hundred millions of property. We can beat that all to pieces. Our Radicals have swallowed three thou? sand millions, and are going on swallowing millions at the rate of five hundred millions per annum. ? The citizens of Columbia gave an entertain? ment to the Democratic members of the- Legisla? ture, at Nickerson's Hotel on Friday night last. From all accounts, it was an enthusiastic tribute to worthy scions of the old Palmetto. Speeches were made by Messrs. J. P. Thomas and Job. Daniel Pope, on behalf of tho citizens, and re? sponded to by Messrs. R. M. Sinn, Senator from Lancaster, and John B. Moore, Representative from Anderson. Besides good eating and lively speeches, champagne flowed freely, and "three times three" were given for Seymour and Blair, and the Democratic members. -o AIS LINE RAILROAD. Tito stockholders and directors of the Georgia Air Line Railroad Company will hold a meeting in Atlanta. Oco., on the 21st day of October, for the transaction of important business. The present management of this Road seem determined to push forward the enterprise with all possible energy, and we are confident that our people rejoice to know that such ia the case. At the proper time, and when the Board of Directors have resolved to begin the work, we shall, have occasion to present in detail I lie advantages of this ?oad and its influ? ence upon the prosperity of upper South Carolina. For the next fow weeks, however, the absorbing ionic will be the Prcsidcntal election, and this all important enterprise with others must bide its time to catch the public ear. Hence, at the present writing, we deem it prudent not to distract public attention from the grave issues of the political campaign, fraught as these are with the material, social and'political interests of the country. GREENWOOD DEMOCRATIC CLUB. We have been requested by ihc Secretary of this Club, Mr. John O. Davis, to notify the members and all interestedI that the regular meetings will hereafter be hold on the first Saturday after sulo day in each month. DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING AT PENDLETON. From tlie following proceedings, sent to us for publication, it will be seen that a Muss Mocting will be held at Pendleton, on tlie 22d proximo : At an informal meeting of citizens of Anderson, Oconco and Pickeus Districts held at Pendleton, S.

Pendloton, S, C, Sept. 26, 1868. -o HANDSOME PRESENT. One lucky star is again in the ascendency, and those unfortunate editors elsewhere will be poun? cing down upon us through envy and'lamentation at their own ill-luck. But this time the generous folks are distant from Anderson?although, for that matter, something may shortly be expected from liberal merchants at home?and it's nothing to eat, drink or wear. In fact, and in short, the Express carrier brought to our sanctum on Mon? day last, a five pound bale of Durham's Smoking Tobacco, choicest of all the brands, with a card appended from H. Bishotf &Co., Charleston,S.C. Now, isn't that handsome, ye envious fellows! Only to think of the curling smoke, in which are wreathed thoughts of our kind friends and their mammoth establishment on East Bay, where other choice and attractive articles are kept by the wholesale, such as Wines and Liquors, and every? thing in the Grocery line. An old established house, ^ hose reputation is of the very best, and whose facilities are unrivalled and unlimited. -p THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR CONGRESS As a matter of interest to this community, we make some extracts from exchanges, complimen? tary to our fellow-citizen, Hon. J. P. Reed, who has buckled on the armor of Democracy and is waging an earnest warfare for principles of right and justice. The nomination of this gentleman has met with a warm and enthusiastic recoption throughout the Congressional District, and it be? hooves his neighbors and friends to work strenu? ously for an unanimous vote in this District. The Edgefield Advertiser thus greets the nomination, and adds the hope that Mr. Reed will accept an invitation extended to him by the Domocracy of Edgefield to address them on Monday next: Col. J. P. Reco, or Anderson.?This gentle? man has been sel?cted, by the Democratic Nom? inating Convention lately assembled in Columbia, as the candidate to represent our Congressional District, the 3rd, in the Congress of the United States. Anderson, it will be remembered, forme, according to the negro-radical Constitution, a part of the 3rd Congressional District. While we have no particular partialities among the suitable men of the District, wa hope, never? theless, that it may please our Democratic friends to unite on Col. R?eU. He has distinguished legal and political ability, large?expsrier.ce, and great discretion aud scgr.city ia public affairs; and is, withal, a high-toued and hospitable gentleman, lie would undoubtedly muke r.n able representative in Congress. As tba time is short, we should all unite on him nt once. The Charleston Jfercurg, in noticing the nomi? nees for Congress from the seTeral Districts, says: The zame of Jacob P. Reed has boen familiar as a household woi d, not only in the mountain dis? tricts-, where he has for years been known as a dis? tinguished lawyer, but by gentlpmon from every part of the Slate, who daring the last twenty years have been famiiiar with his jolly face aud well rounded form, as year after year they met him in the Legislature, where, as one of the Solicitors, he contributed his quota to tlie dispatch of tho busi? ness of tho session-, ^Legislatures in those days did not sit. three months?nor draw six dollars a day?in fact they did not do a good many things which Legislatures now are guilty of ] The De? mocracy of South Carolina has made a good selec? tion. Let our people go to work, and see to it that they elect their nominees. The Abbeville Press gives a full account of the mass meeting r.t Ninety-Six on the 18th inst., and thus refers to the speech of Mr. Ree?-. The President first introduced the Hon. J. P. Reed, Democratic candidate for Congress from this Congressional District, whose ability, energy and zeal bring strength to any cause which may enlist his sympathies or engage his efforts. Mr. Reed spoke with his accustomed force and eloquence, and as he always does, commanded the attention and carried with him the feelings of his audience. We shall not attempt a synopsis of his remarks which were addressed principally to the colored brethren, and which were characterized through? out by the strong appeals, the forcible illustrations, the practical good sense, and the spirit, foriw and earnestness, which distinguish all his efforts. The carpet-bagger, the scalawag, and the poor deluded negro were exhibited in their true colors and just relations, and the speaker showed how the acts of the demagogue and the schemes of the corrupt pol? itician, were mnde to defeat the ends of good gov? ernment, and to sacrifice 'he interests of the many to the aggrandizement of the few. CIRCUIT JUDGES. On Friday last, the resignation of D. T. Corbin', recently elected Judge of the First Circuit, was tendered. No explanation given of this action on the part of this ntpaeioua carpet-bagger, and it is only surmised thathe has awakened just now to the heavy responsibilities of official position, being still the fortunate incumbent of four or live other positions. The vacancy occasioned by the declination of 0. W. Williams. Esq*, of York, to accept the Judge ship of the Sixth Circuit, has been filled by the election of W. M. Thomas, of Greenvillo. The correspondent of the Charleston Xeivs ventilates that gentleman and the manner of his election in the following terms: The election of W. M. Thomns, of Greenville, to be Circuit Judge ot the Sixth District, was a movo of desperation on the part of the Legislature. Tho office was going begging. Nobody wanted it. One Judge hud already been elected and declined to serve. As far as 1 can learn, this Thomas is a low fellow, of whom his family feel very much ashamed. He was a commissioner of equity in Greenville during the war ; has all the little dirty discs thill can be picked up at that bar. His talents are summed tin by one who ought, to know ns vox et prclerea, nihil, and he has been a Radical for a short time. The Republicans did not want him, and those who knew him best, wanted him least; but there was no choice., so he was nominated by the Republican caucus, after a hurd tight. Even then it look two ballots of the Legislature to elect him. The Democrats voted for Moore, and the disgusted Republicans scattered their votes around loosely, some of them falling on men who are dreadfully annoyed at this mark of attention. Lungston, the colored Demosthenes, who spouted fur the tlarkics a few nights since, received five votes. Lnngston has more white blood in his veins than black, and is a mnn of acknowledged parts. He is Superintendent of Education in the Frced mcu's Ihiretiu, and has been admitted to practice I iu the United Stalos Supreme Court. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Pendlkton, S. C, Sept. 2G, 1808. Friend Hoyt : The Essay on Grasses by C. W. Howard, of Kingston, Ga., first published in the Southern Cultivator, in 1858, I think, and re-pub? lished in the Farmer and Planter, June and July numbers. 1858, which you offered to lay before the readers of the Intelligencer, if a copy could he fur? nished you?will probably appear again in the October nuaiber of the Cultivator. The members of the Anderson Agricultural Society desiring more light on the subject of grasses adapted to the South than they will probably obtain from any other source, would do well to forward their names and subscription, (two dollars only,) to the editors for this excellent work, which should bo sustained by ovcry farmer, planter, gardenor and house-keep er in the South. Truly yours, S. [We heartily endorse the praise bestowed by our friend " 3." upon that valuable farm auxiliary, the Southern Cultivator. And we desire further to say, that we will take pleasure in forwarding the names of su6scribcr3,.at $1.50 per annum, provided always that the person or persons are yearly sub? scribers to the Intelligencer. In other words, both papers will be Bent for $4.00 per annum, on re? ceipt of the money at this office.] -<?>-. ACTS PASSED BY THE L2GI8LATTTBE.

The so-called Supreme Court of this State held a special session last week, and one of the most no? table incidents of that august tribunal was the ad? mission of three negroes to practice law. Wright, Elliott and Whippcr, a brilliant trio, were duly ad? mitted to practice, and the proceedings in this respect are thus chronicled by tho correspondent of the Charleston News: The admission of three negroes to-day to the ?bar of South Carolina is an evunt characteristic of the times. The Snpreme Court which admitted them was composed of two Associaie Justices, neither of whom lias ever been admitted to the bar of this State, and neither of whom, without further study, could be admitted on an examination before tho legitimate Supreme Court. One of these Judges, so-called, is from New York, the other from Ohio?neither is a citizen of this State, ex? cept under the negro-carpet-bag constitution. So much for the Judges who admitted them. The Attorney-General who examined them was himself admitted to the bar to-day on motion, he having previously been a member, of the Massachusetts bar. As for the negroes themselves, I have only their own account. According to this veracious authority. J. J. Wright, Senator fram Beaufort, has already been admitted to the bar of Pennsyl? vania, and has an album with extracts from threo hundred different newspapers, referring to his ad? mission, which excited much attention at the time. I suppose ho must have satisfied the Court of the truth of this statement, as ho was admitted on mo? tion without examination. R. B. Elliott, repre? sentative from Barnwell, says that he attended the Massachusetts Law School for two years, then en? tered the volunteer service. At the close of the war he went back to Massachusetts and read law nino months, and at the cud of three more would have been admitted to the bur, but came down South and was thus prevented from being admit? ted. W. J. Whipper, representative from Beau? fort, was before the war in a lawyer's office in De? troit,. Michigan, but, whether as office boy, clerk or student I do not recollect. When he com? menced practice in tlie Provost Courts of this State after the war, he was very green, but he has im? proved greatly, and gets along tolerably well as chairman of the Judiciary Committoc of the House. All these men are full blooded uogroe.i, with black skins, thick lips and woolly heads, and yet, in justice to them, 1 must say that I believe they arc as good lawyers as at least one of tho judges who admitted them; and certainly any ono of ihcm can make a hotter speech than either of the judges. ? The dead body of a negro was found on the plantation of a Mr. Gray, in Laurens District, re? cently. A jury of inquest ascertained that tlie man came to his death by foul means, but could ! get no clue to tho murderers. Subsequent infor [ mat ion caused the arrest of four ncgrors, two j males and two females, and they were lodged in [ jail. No doubt, is entertained that the facts will be brought to light mid the guilty parlies to justice. A'um-sTA, September 28. Cotton market firm ; sales 150 bales?middlings 22J.

TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. It was referred to the State Central Executive Committee, by the late Democratic Convention, to inquiro into the disabilities imposed, by reason of the war, irpou a portion of our people, restraining them from the exercise of the elective franchise in South Carolina; and to publish the conclusion at? tained, for the information of the people of the State. The committee, in the discharge of that duly, announce that they have examined the sub? ject, and-beg to state : 1. That no such disabilities now exist by or under the Acts of Congress, known as the Recon? struction Act, the State having been officially de? clared to be in the Union. 2. That no such disabilities exist under the so called amendment, known as the fourteenth amend? ment to the Constitution of the United States, the disabilities therein expressed having, reference to office-holding and not to voting. 3. That no such disabilities exist by the so called State Constitution of 18C8, under which it is claimed that the State has been reconstructed and restored to the Union. Tho undersigned, therefore, announce that no such disabilities exist by force of any law, or sup? posed law, or authority whatever; and they urge their hitherto disfranchised fellow-citizens, in every part of the State, to exercise their right to vote at the coming election for President and Vice President, of which right they have been so long deprived bj Military power.
