YTo have no doubt that th'e result of die-election oa Tuesday will place General GirAiii.in the -"Presi? dential chair for a term of- four years from next March. Further, this result will fasten upon the. oountry another four years of IUdical misrule, ex orbitanttaxation, and extravagant expenditure in the administration of. government. This is the nationaLaspect of affairs. But the excited contest being over,1 the question of Federal interference With domestic- affairs in the 3outh will^be speedily aem'oved from the public gaze, *nd with the pre? sent organized goTcrnmeuls in the reconstructed States the people are to go forward in the disoharge of their duties as citizens. The whole aim and ob-~ ject of tne Radical' policy for the pagt two years hag been, to strengthen that party in the Presiden? tial" election. V?e bave said- this from the begin? ning of"tlie agitation of Reconstruction. That ob jeet being settled, the primary pause of dissension and division among tho Southern people, while and colored, is now far removed.. Only local and domestic Influences will control tho future policy of South Carolina. Although, we have an odious government, actuated by prejudice and oppression, foisted upon us, redemption must be had through peaceful agencies, patient forbearance and firm ad? herence to principle. -These-will conquor finally, and with brave hearts and strong minds wo must Address future efforts to the redemption.of our be lotod State from misrule at home. We believe this-will be done, and far more speedily than many persons imagine. ? Practically;, however, tho pre? sent is gloomy enough, with enormous taxation and the reckless extravagance of the present State government starring us in the face. But we advise all to be of good cheer, und look upon the bright aide of the future. Nothing is gained by despon? dency, and neither will despair biing about a bst |ex state of things. ELECTlOBT EETTTENS. THE RESULT IN THIS DISTRICT. The Democracy-of Anderson District bare cov? ered .themselves with glory. The triumph is com? plete-and "decisive, and the Radical party has dwindled to such insignificant numbers that the future of- our District id wrested forever from their uuholy grasp. But we'"will not; indulge in exul iatit shoots o*er^th'e disgraceful defeat and com? plete rout of the Radical forces in our midst; the figures are eloquent enough, and w? gi*e them as far as heard from, as follows: ...

There arc nine other boxes to hear from, which Trill, more than double the Democratic majority given .-above, and conse? quently places tho aggregate-majority in this Dis? trict at not less than 1,500,.and in all probability i at a higher figure. ? ? - ' ? ? THE RESULT LH THIS STATE. 1 A dispatch from Charleston,-published in the Phoenix, states that the Republicans have carried that city by a reduced majority. Also, that the State is conceded for "Grant, but th; Democrats claim two out of the four Congressmen.. As the returns from the country had not reached.Charles? ton when this despatch, was foririrded,- we think it likely that the concession is made too early, and , that.an official count will be necessary to decide. In other words, we think tho election is doubtful -in this State, to say the-least of it. What an offi? cial count, may produce^remmns to be seen, but we arc strongly inclined to the .belief that: the Democrats havo'carried South Carolina, which will be" glory enough for ono day.

Fbllow-Cjtizexb : The numerous complaints madeHo this Department of murders and outrages, committed by wicked and inconsiderate persons, excited by intense parly feeling, made it my duty to issue the late proclamation, calling upon all good and truo mcp, without respect to political predilections, to unite in a determination to dis? countenance and denounce lawlessness and vio? lence, and hi an effort to recover and maintain the good name that has heretofore bees the heritage and pride'of o?r beloved State. It is notf my pleasing duty to congratulate you upon the bene fiial results that have ensued fiom the admirable and well-timed address of Gen. Hampton and the Executive Committee to the Democratic purty. In honest and-impressive terms they have c&!!?<t on the people to support the laws, to preserve the peace, and to denouuee those crimes which have so recently been committed in some portions of our State. Those patriotic counsels cannot tail of having a wide and wholesome influence in moder? ating the vehemence of feeling of those to whom they are authoritatively addressed, while they have quieted the apprehensions and conciliated the re9peot and good will of their political oppo? nents. This is certainly a just cause for congratu? lation to every well-wisher of the State, and it gives- me unfeigned pleasure to acknowledge it, and to earnestly invoke the co-operation of cvory member of the Republican partyin reciprocating, to the fullest extent, the. prtcificpoli-oy'so admira? bly inculcated by the Democratic' leaders. Let ocrimoriious'and irritatin'g discussions be avoided, and appeals be made to the intelligence and reason, and not the fears or passions, of the community Differ as.we may in political sentiments, it is the dictate alike of wisdom and patriotism for all to appeal to, and confide in, the efficacy of peaceful remedies for political evils, actual or supposed. Let "bear and forbear" be our maxim, and so shall tho peace, prosperity and honor of our belovod State be maintained and perpetuated, and her timo-honored.escutcheon will be preserved, unsul? lied and undimmed, in.all its original purity .and lustre.

Lei th'ere be a grand rally of the farming com? munity at this place on Wednesday next, Novem? ber 11th, in attendance upon tho first annual meeting of thejEarmers' Association* The Presi? dent of the Association, Hon. James L. Obr, will: deliver the annual address, and this alone should bring together an immense congregation of farm? ers. Besides the usual routine of business and the election of officers for the ensuing year, there wili. be an exhibition of improved plows and other agricultural implements en this occasion, and every farmer is likewise invited to bring samples of agricultural" products of this year's growth. Last, though J not least, the ladies generally are particularly invited to encourage the men by their presence, and also exhibit specimens of their skill and handiwork. The society being in its in? fancy as yet, premiums cannot be offefed, but cer? tificates of. excellence will be awarded to the suc? cessful competitors. Now, that the political ques? tions of the day aro settled for the time being, all classes should rally to the support and advance? ment of" the matorial interests of the wmairg; and we confidently expect that the Farmers' Asso? ciation, will be urged forward inlts work" of recu? peration and made to perform an important part in the development of.the resourceB^of tbia.sec tion. For the Anderson Intelligencer. Equality, S. C, Oct. 80, 18G8. Mr. Editor: Byinvitation from Richard Fletcher and others, in company with two of the white citi? zens of the neighborhood, (Messrs. F. M. Glenn and Maj. L. Newton,) I attended & meetfngjof colored people, to-day, at Macedonia church, tnear Mrs. Glenn's, called for the purpose of taking counsel among themselves" as to what course they, the colored people, had: best pursue in the ap? proaching Presidential election. On motion, Richard Fletcher was- called to the chair, who, in a plain, forcible and practical manner, explained the objects of the meeting He was followed by Moses Crews aud others, in turn, until each colored man present had expressed his views and opinions, plainly and candidly, in refer? ence to the colored people in theapproacBing elec? tion. ?Eftcr some remarks by the white men present, a vote was taken on the question, as to how many of the colored people present preferred to vote for Seymour and Blair; how many present for Grant; ' and how many preferred to remain neutral, not taking part either way? There were eight pres? ent, and when the question was put one stepped out for Grant, five fer Seymour, and two preferred to remain neutral. Afterwards, the two following resolutions were proposed and adopted as the sense, of the colored people present: [ Resolved, As the sense of this meeting, it is the duly and interest of the colored people of this. State to unite with the whites, in elections, until we place the Government of ourState in the hands of the good and true men of our commonwealth, and thus secure an economical administration of our governmental affairs?in which the cole"*'* man, equally with the white man, is alike deeply interested?and- thus promote -the prosperity of our common country, and the peace and harmony of-our people. Resolned, That while we do not intend to-attach ourselves to either of the political'parties art pres? ent existing, yet we believe it would be to the in? terest of all classes of our citizens to vote for Sey? mour and Blair in the approaching Presidential election, thus securing unity of action among our? selves at home, and promoting thereby, as we be? lieve, the best interests of our country. Now, Mr. Editor, the results off this meeting, though small in numbers, Iins developed the im? portant truth, that the intelligent colored men ?four State are becoming satisfied that they committed a great mistnke, in committing the government of our State to the hands of foreigners and strangers, and are now disposed to unite with the, whites, especially in ?tate elections, until the government of the State is again placed in the hands of the good and true men of our .own citizens. They, the colored people, feel ns we do, that the system of government which has been adopted- for our State, by those strangers and foreigners, is entirely unMiitcd to the necessities of oirr people, and es? pecially that.the reckless extravagance of oar hie Legislature, in creating a host of new offices with large salaries, to feed and fatten on the hard earnings of. our-impoverished people, and in de? vising new and expensive schemes of education, of police, of taxation, have evinced an utter disre? gard- of the best interests of all classes of our citizens, and an utter incapacity to administer the government of our State, so as to promote the general good of all our people: ? Another important fact, Mr. Editor, was devel .oped by this meeting, which ought to be known. It ia that they, the colored people, appreciate kindness and fair dealing on the part of the whites, and that such a course of conduct will ul? timately enlist their sympathies in our behalf. At the very spot of ground where this meeting ! was held, stands a new and comfortable log house, erected by the colored people for preaching- and school purposes, on the lands of Mr. Glenn, who, in every possible way, has given them his counte-' nance and cneeuragement in these laudable un? dertakings. And in this-course of conduct, Mr. Glenn has the sanotion of the white citizens gen? erally of that neighborhood. Mr. Glenn, however, maintains, by the terms of .the original contract,, such a control as to prevent this sanctuary of the living God over being perverted to political pur? poses, and would not connect that the meeting re? ferred to should be held in the church, though it was near by. Thus, Mr. Editor, I have given you a hasty sketch of a meeting of colored people, which, though small and insignificant in numbers, and like the little cloud not bigger than a man's hand, yet may be the harbinger of an entire revolution iu political sentiment of the colored people of the State, which, in God's own good time, may bring deliverance and happiness lo our now distracted and oppressed people. May God speed the good work. Respectfully yours, TIIOS. H RUSSELL. ?;- , ? The following paragraph is going the rounds: "Governor Scott, of South Carolina, has violated the law about distinction on account of color by btforing $5,000 reward for the murderer of a negro, while the amount offered for the slayer of a white man is $250." In justice to- the Governor, we will State that the'law is not. infringed in this particu? lar, as the bill to prevent such distinctions failed to pass both houses of-tho Legislature. ? The Lancaster Ledger has been shown a letter from' one of the Marylanders who recently visited that place on a tour of inspection, which stated that a company of fifty had already been formed for a trip South, and that they would leave Hngers lown about tho 15th of November, inst. And that some of the gentlemen who wcro here a couple of months ago, contemplated settling in Lancaster county. "A better day is dawning." -* ? Mrs. E.

Russellmoved that the annual nreet ing take place as provided in the Constitution, on the second Wednesday in this month, and that the President be invited to address tho society upon agriculture; also, that gentlemen, having im? proved plows and other agricultural implements be requested to exhibit thein on the day named;, with any information in their possession respect? ing the utility and character of the implements, and likewise give a performance of their plows.

Adopted. The following resolution _ was offered by J. P.

From the Charleston Neat of last Saturday. ANDERSON COUNTY VINDICATED. the testimony of an impartial and unpreju? diced english resident. Pesdluton, Anderson Co., S. C. October 27, 1868. Sir?Governor Scott's proclamation on the con? duct of the white inhabitants of the upper conn tics has astonished mo. Will you allow me to give rvidence in the case? . If I had the honor tobe an American citizen, or a South Carolinian ; or had I the privilege of vo'ting for the officers of tho nation, or for this State; or if I belonged to the Republican or Demo? cratic party, 1 should not write to you, because it might be alleged that, my social or political predt Uectioas-had biased my judgment and rendered my testimony, worthless. Rut as lam only an Eng? lishman, having no vote, in no way connected with any political party, no Confederate, but simply a searcher alter health, which I have to some extent found in this quiet place and genial climate, 1 think myself entitled to be heard, and to be cred? ited on a matter which injuriously nflects the'ehar jactcr of the county in which my home is fixed, and is a calumny on the old residents, oiy valued neighbors. I am so fa? free from prejudice against rhe colored people, that had slavery con? tinued! should not have bought a home in South -Carolina; for my ethical ion aud conscience taught me that slavery was n wrong ami an nvil lo both the slave and i.is owner; So having no pro-slavery sympathies, nor present or past interests to thwart my judgment or my conscience, I claim to be re? ceived as a .veracious witness, whose evidence of facts must not. be disputed. It is not true, as reported to- Gov^tion- Scotl, that in this, Anderson, county ihe faws are viola? ted, the officers of the government set at defiance, people murdered for political differences, families forced away from their homes, threats of death used lo political opponents, or to RaJic.-ils of any color. Neither is it true that nrms, good, bad or indifferent, are openly or oecwtVy imported, nor are the roads patroled by day or night. The whole of these allegations are so untrue, and so iuapp?- I cable'to this county, that a love of alliteration must have been the causo for uniting Abbeville and An? derson in the Governor's proclamation, and not a regard for truth. I have lived in countries where political passion had led to violence. In Ireland in 164(3 aud 1848, ' in Canada iu 1849, in. Cuba in 1855 ; but I have never seen a people so inoffensive, so resigned, and so desirous to hope for the dawning of better days as those of this county are. So much for the whites. Now for the negroes, for I would, do justice to air. They are not less industrious than the farm laborers in England aud Ireland; but they arc less shHful, and therefore do less for the same wages, but are quite equal to my expecta? tions. They do not steal;.they seldom commit an' act properly called crime, but are quiet and useful people, being a large portion of the wealth of the State. We need more of them. Im the two years of my residence here, I know of but three crimes in the county?two were murders committed-by negroes on white men (Hunnicutt, and another near Anderson Courthouse), aud too theft of my horse out of his stable by a Tennessee negro, who escaped with the horse to that State, was three times arrested, and three times broke jail, being free and safe now in Arkansas. I am told no white man lias been committed for crime iu a radius of ten miles for the last ten years. I feel it my duty thus publicly Io-protest against these calumnies circulated to our prejudice, prin cipally- because the power of doing mischief lies in Uii: circumstance that the Governor has proclaimed them. I inclose my card of which you are at liberty to make any use of you may find advisable. I am, your obedient servant, AN ENGLISH FARMER. ITEMS-EDITOKIAL AND OTHERWISE. - ~ ? ? - ... * ? Messrs.

CORNER BY PIASTERS' HOTE*LV November 4, 1868 ' 20 TO THE REPUBLICANS OF SOT/12: CAROLINA. "Let w have peace." So says our great and good leader, Gen. Grant So say all good Republicans. So 9ay we, the undersigned members of Ihe Re p^blican parly in South Carolina. We hojd that the Republican party is emphatically the party of peace aad quiet, of law and order. We hold that every man who will commit or encourage violence j or lawlessness is a criminal!, and merits the un ! qualified condemnation of ail good Republicans. Wc censure, without reserve, all the recent acts of violence, not only the horrible murders of Martin,. Randolph and Nance of our own party, but also the firing upon Ward at Newberry, and.the acts of incendiarism at Abbeville and elsewhere.- If Re? publicans have been engaged in any of those' out- ? rages we denounce them as false to the principles of our party, and as criminals justly meriting the severest penalties of the law. Violence is only justified in self-defence, and never in retaliation or for revenge. It is tho business-of the law to pun? ish crime and not of individuals- ' ?? *. We hail with satisfaction the address of the Democratic State Central Committee as the har? binger of better nnd-more quiet times. 'We will gladly unite with the leaders of 'he Democratic' party, in doing all in our power to prevent" incen? diary language; to preserve the peace; to main? tain order, and lo assert1 the supremacy of the laws. We urge upon the leaders and speakers in the Republican party the necessity - of discounte? nancing and condemning violence on all occasions. We call upou every member of the Republican party, white or colored,- to abstain from all acts of retaliation and violence, and to do all iu his powT er to have guilty persons arrested and punished, whether ihey be Republicans or Democrats. Let not the good u%zse? and noble principles of the Rapublicun parly be tarnished by acts of blood? shed or other crimes. Let it be seen that Ihe. Republican party of the South,dike the great Re publican party of the North, is the. earnest and consistent advocate of law and order, of peace and 'harmony, of humanity and justice. Let every Republican be found ready to assert and vindicate his rights and i^s manhood at the ballot box. Rut ltevery good .Tn&true Republican will scorn to vio 'late the law. F. A. SAWYER. D. II.

That is, they offer to receive subscri? bers now, and all through November,? for 1869, ands throw in the month of December without charge The offer is worth looking at, merely on account of the odd month, forwe consider any number of that paper richly worth*the cost for a whole year. We advise every man, woman, and child, whatever their calling, to be sure and obtain the reading of the Agriculturist'. It is of large size, packed full of valuable, reliable, and interesting information. No one can read it a year, or even a single num- 1 ber, without gathering some practical bints that . will, in the end, far more than repay the cost'. It also contains every year hundreds of. beautiful, in? teresting and instructive Engravings, which are alone worth the price, if not a word of reading, matter were given. Fifteen cents will secure a post-'paid copy for November, or SI.60 will secure the paper from now to the end of 18f>9, and a good investment it will be?our word for it.

Thus has another' of the Saviour's bidden ones departed to be with him and like him. She went up. through great suffering.

Her path wa? that of the just, shining more and more unto the perfect day. The-, gold grew "brighter and more precious in the fur"--. ;nacey Her faith "was clear and scriptural. The roots of her piety were down: in1 deep vraters Its Was evident, to all who knew her that' she shared largely in the benefits which believers receive in this life?"assurance of God's love, peace of con*-., science, joy in the Holy Ghost, increase of gracer and perseverance therein to the end."- Nor iir there a shadow of doubt, that now ''made perfect in holiness, she bait passed immediately into glory."'

But all is-well. The summons found her ready. She bits: gone to be with Christ, where he is, and to beholct bis glory. She died, "But the' sunshine c-feaaaven. beamed bright, on her waking? v - And the soagthat she heard was the seraphim's song." ' J W. H. 8. New Advertisements. ISTotice.
