DEATH OFGEff. WADDY THOMPSON. We learn from a dispatch received last night that Gen. Waddt Thompson, of Greenville, died on Sunday morning last, iu Tallahassee, Fla., aged seventy years. He represented the mountain Dis? tricts In Congress many years ago, and was after? wards appointed Minister to Mexico. He was well known and greatly admired throughout this section, and in the palmy days, of his political career, was noted as an effective popular speaker. For ten or fifteen years, he has been altogether withdrawn from public life. . ^_-;-. . tTSFOBTUIIATE OCCURRENCE. We regret to learn that Copt. P. K. Nonnis, a highly respectable citizen of the District, was se? verely wounded on Sunday morning last, under tbe following circumstances: The Deputy Con - stable for this District, Alex. Campbell, was at? tempting to arrest two young men?one of them a Tennesseean?upon charges not definitely ascer? tained, and had summoned several special consta? bles, among them Nobbjs, to aid in the arrest. The detachment of officers overhauled the parties on Sundny morning, and the Tennesseean refused to surrender, when In making his escape ho was either fired upon or admonished by a display of v?capons, whereupon he fired at the posse and se? verely wounded Copt. Noams in the hip. These are all the particulars in our possession from an authentic source, but there is no doubt that the chief officer is greatly to blame in the affair. Of course, the wounded officer was acting under orders from-his superior, and we have heard no censure upon his conduct. We arc informed that Mr. Campbell has tendered bis resignation, but do not vouch for tbe report. If be does resign, we trust that a more discreet selection will be found in- bis successor. -4? HEW HODE OF 5ETILIK?. The innovations made by- the reconstructed gov? ernment now holding sway in this once honored commonwealth have been much commented upon, and are a source of much of the hostility evinced towards the Radical party by the white people, who are almost a unit in the opposition to the present regime. The accumulation of experience under this benign rule, we regret to know, is uot calculated to lessen the asperities of these troub? lous times, but on the contrary destined to bring about more frequent collision with the pretended authorities and engender more bitter feelings against the "powers tbat.be.*' We have a case in pelnt^illastrating the beauties of the present order of things, and showing that honesty and integrity ?once tbe pride of every office-liolder in (his State,?have given place to corruption and unfair dealing. Ou the authority of a respectable gentle? man in an adjoining District, (his statement is based, and we have every reason to believe that tho following is strictly true: On Friday last, a worthy citizen of the up country presented an account against the State for $53.00. in person to Comptroller General Neacle, and was informed by that official that the account could not be paid, as there was no money in the Treasury, and besides tbe account was informally made out. Tbe information disconcerted our friend, who expressed his regrets at this state of j affairs, and doubtless appeared to be much dis? tressed. Upon seeing this, the honorable carpet- j bagger came to bis relief, ana proffered to take tho account off his bands, if a proper discount was made. Reflecting upon this proposition, our friend thought rather than be put to any further trouble iu collecting the amount, he would consent to a reduction, of five dollars from the original bill, and accordingly informed Mr. Neaglb that it could ?^.purchased for. $53.00,. theo and these. To which offer, the pure and incorruptible official slighty dissented,, but agreed to give $50.00, and say no more about it. Influenced by the same mo? tives that induced him to consent to any dedtic lion, in tho Grst instance, our friend finally accepted ?io-hMt named offer, and.the trade was consumma? ted?thus, placing the small sum of eight dollars (State bills receivable), in tho capacious pocket of this Radical adventurer-. This disgraceful trans? action was related to-us tho next morning, and we repeat that this statement is substantially rorrect. It is obvious that the money was immedintely col? lected by Neacle from the Treasurer, or* if not, the account was carefully put in a safe plaoe to await the golden momeut when greenbacks would fill the coffers of this reconstructed government. Then, his profits would be greater, for bo it re? membered that State bills only were paid or ex? pected, and they are worth from seventy-five to eighty cents ou the dollar. Now, when it is known 3h.*U the signing and issuing of State bills is partly eoms&tcdi e the distinguished financier who figures as a broker in this transaction, and that sonic of these bills .'iiavo been paid out wilhout proper sig? nature, the whole thing cap. readily be understood, and the peopVe enabled to vie* the present aepoct of affairs in their true light. Will the Legislature now in session have a special committee appointed to4ook into these speculations? We arc ready to give the names of both gcnllemcn referred to in j tthis article, and will vouch for their rcspcctubility and good, standing.. A CAnn.?Circumstances, beyond my control have caused the suspension of the Charleston Mircury. B?t the publio should uot be led to die conclusion that the paperie extinct. Measures a?e afoot for issuing it again on a. substantial ba? sis. And it is expected to put. It forth in a style that will satisfy every requirement of a first class Southern newspaper. K P. KIT BIT, Jn, EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Charleston, November 18, 1868. Arriving in tbia city by the morning train of tho South Carolina Railroad, one is placed in a " pe? culiarly perplexing predicament." It is too lato in the night to go to bed, and too soon in tho morning for those unaccustomed to remarkable early rising to keep awake until the breakfast hall is thrown open to visitors. This was my condi? tion, at 5\ a. m. this morning, but I determined on awaiting the dawn of day, and taking a brief sur? vey of things about an extensive hotel as the lod? gers were quietly ensconced in their comfortable quarters. Accordingly, on reaching the Charles? ton Hotel?now, as ever, kept in magnificent atylc?and being assigned to Room No. 155, I thought of making a hasty toilet, and (hen enjoy? ing the scene. But, alas! for human calculations, 1 was doomed to disappointment, for the boot-black naturally supposed that the lodger in one hundred and fifty-five would be somewhat reasonable iti his demands, and consequently failed to return the handsome pair of boots entrusted to Imb care by the aforesaid lodger, until,the sun had risen far above the wasto of waters, and the bustle of hotel life had began in earnest. In short, my boots were not returned in time, and I was, obliged to be among the "late risers," and thereby deprived of the pleasure expected in announcing my arrival in propriapersona, as many friends had meanwhile examined the registry, and discovered the fact. So much by way of preliminary, and to inform the reader that I am in the "gocd old city by the sea," and snugly quartered with mine host, Maj. Horbach, of the Charleston Hotel. After meeting I with numerous friends from the city and country, and enjoying a capital breakfast, I sallied forth with an acquaintance from Philadelphia (on his first visit here) to inspect the goodly array of vegetables, meats, fruits, et cetera, always to be found in the market. We strolled leisurely through, and my friend seemed much gratified at the abun? dance, if not impressed with the qualities here presented. .Having some business on Broad street, wc passed down East Bay, and at the store of those clever gentlemen, Walker, Evaxs & Cogswell, I parted with my Philadelphia friend, who seemed intent upon viewing the principal portions of the city. After {.pending an hour or two with the firm above alluded to, the clock reminded mc that other busi? ness demanded my attention, and taking tho street cars, I was shortly landed at Masonic Hall, where the Grand Lodge of Masons was convened. Here the greater portion of to-day has been spent, and here is assembled the largest number of Masons ever congregated in this State for a similar pur? pose. Over one hundred lodges are represented, and by not less than three hundred delegates. The meeting has bcon conducted witli harmony, and the reports indicate a flourishing condition of this ancient fraternity within the jurisdiction of this Grand Lodge. The proceedings are fully reported in the Daily News, and will furnish the particulars. Business 6cems to have greatly revived, and merchants are far more cheerful than at any period since the war. Tho recent municipal election lias caused far more despondency than the defeat of the National Democracy. The Radicals elected their candidates for Mayor and Aldermen by a majority of only seventeen votes. In consequence of fraud and " intimidation," used by (hat party to prevent colored men from voting against them, the opposition or citizens' party have contested the election. This matter is being investigated by the present Council, and crowds of idle, vagabond negroes daily gather around the City Hall to await the result. Passing through this rabble to-day, it was easy forme to become acquainted witbthe'vin dictivc feelings by which they arc actuated, for my cars wero constantly greeted with abusive epithets hurled against " the white man." Being a stran? ger, I knew that sucli abuse was not intended for me individually, but presumed that these expres? sions seemed to console their wounded feelings, in reference to the fact that the wealth, intelligence and respectability of tho city were endeavoring to expose their fraudulent conduct and securo the rights of freemen. It is hoped that the result will decide the election to have been illegal. In that -case, the present Council will hold over until a new election is ordered by the Legislature. The majority of .its members were appointed by the military authorities, and are mosily Republican, but of the milder BOrt. The announcement in tho morning pnpers that the Charleston Mercury had suspended in " town talk " to-day. Of course, there are many surmifcs, innumerable regrets, and a few congratulations, as there aro to be feund true and tried men who arc deeply impressed with the conviction that the Mercury was a fire brand in politics, and they re? joice at'ite downfall. One of this olass remarked to mc, in plain language, that he was " glad of it.*" and doubtloss there aro many who felt likewise. But, as a representative of true Carolina politics in olden time, the Mercury stands pre-eminent, and its present misfortune is to be traced to the fact that the business men of this period ore nowise in? clined to extremes, and honce withhold their ad? vertising patronage, always the life and sustennnce of Southern dailies. We shall miss its familiar face among the exchanges, and tako no pleasure in chronicling its demise. I will write another brief letter bc/bre turning my steps homeward. U. Ciiahlestox, Nov. 19, 1808. To-day has becu balmy and bright. The cold cast winds of yesterday have vanished, and tho at? mosphere indicates a brief enjoyment of the de? lights experienced when the ludian summer is upon U3. In tbia glorious old city, where arc to be seen so many beautiful faces, such a day allures one to King street, the thoroughfare of benuty and fash? ion. An excellent bachelor friend of mine, from one of the upper Districts, has dovofed much of his sojourn here in witnessing the array fcf blithe? some maidens congregated upon this street. Why not a married man, and an editor at that, share in the transitory pleasure? But lam not going to describe King street, even when gorgeously attired, and thronged with hundreds end thousands of fair creatures. Jinny are familiar with the scene, and others might not be interested. This afternoon, in company with a pleasant'and agreeable lady, I visiteu Magnolia. Cemetery,?the beautiful home of the dead,?wh:eh is being laste fully renovated and adorned. We drove leisurely through tho grounds, but lime forbade any minuto examination of even tlie principal monuments erected to departed worth. The plat of land aa : signed to the Confederate dead is an object of great attraction, not less for its simple beauty than from ilio fact that herein arc deposited tho tnoital remain* of unpretending heroes. Hun? dreds of graves arc regularly arranged, and care? fully marked with the namo, rank, company aud regiment of the deceased. The next object of interest wos the monument j erected to.Col. William Washington, of Revolu? tionary lame and memory. This enduring testi? monial of a country's gratitude to an ardent pa? triot richly, deserves a passing imtice. Tho inscrip j lion and design are altfce npt/roprintc, while the ?Kira?ce cf the aric!&suri< ptu'Vry r?heajfece lie story of bis aoliievements. The posts are cannon employed in the Revolution, while two sabres crsssed, and surmounted with a cavalry cap cast I in iron, from the oonnecting link overhead the en? trance. This monument is not far removed from the graves of the poor Confederates, and we could not help contrasting the legacy bequeathed by a fortunate soldier with the results attained by the noble defenders of an unsuccessful cause. But we must draw a veil over this picture, for such thoughts always awaken memories too dear for the rudo hand of the present day. These grounds are laid out with great regularity and becoming taste. The plucid waters of tho beautiful lakes 6com a fitting accompaniment for the silent sleepers beneath, and the perfect wealth of evergreens, with the huge trees deeply friugod by long grey moss, add much to the quiet attract? iveness of this aacrcd place. On the outer edge, the eye beholds a vast expanso of water, and be? yond are tho villages of Mt. Pleasant and Sulli? van's Island, with the forts and other prominent defences familiar to every one in this generation. To the right is an excellent view of the city, and the towering spire of old St. MicbsePl rises far above the rest. Aside from the beauty of the Ceme? tery itself, this scenery is well worth a visit. The shades of evening coming on, we were forced to leave this lovely retreat, and driving rapidly back to the city, passed over the "shell road" so lately constructed, and ou through to the battery, which is the fashionable promenade for pleasant afternoons. But we had lingered too long at Magnolia, and the moonoeams assured us that the Ibudness of pedestrians for this favorite resort did not include the chilly air of a November evening. Receiving this admonition rather forcibly than otherwise, for the atmosphere had again changed, we sought a more cheerful welcome in-doors. And so ended"our day's ramble. II. -* ANNUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE GRAND LODGE OF BOUTH CAROLINA. The Grand Lodge of Ancient Freemasons in South Carolina met in Charleston on Tuesday, November 17th, at twelve o'clock M., Gen. James Conner, Deputy Grand MaBter, presiding.

Scott, of South Carolina, was in this city a day or two ago on business connected with the interests of the Palmetto Srtatc. He represents the condition of affairs in South Carolina at this lime as very promising. The State is profoundly peaceful, and it appears to divide the credit with North Carolina of being the most orderly of all the Southern States. The colored people are becoming more and more industrious, and are showing themselves better adapted to tho new condition ot things. There is a promise of something being done to advance the railroad interests of the State, and other projects of internal improvement are under discussion. The leadings Democrats of the State accept the facts of the late election in a proper epirit, and ex? press a willingness (o labor heartily in the direc? tion of peace and concord. While in Wall-street, attending to certain monied necessities of the State, Governor Scott passed round an open letter signed by Wade Hampton and other representative South Carolinians, giving their views of the prospects of the State, and the feelings entertained by the white population. Governor Scott is hopeful of the fu? ture, and gives good grounds for the hopes he ex? presses." - ITEMS-EDITORIAL AND OTHERWISE. ?

To the People of the Southern States : Wheu the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely kuown as Wolfe's Schiedam Schnapps, was introduced into the world under the endorsement of four thousand lending members of the medical profession some 20 years ago, its proprielor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the penally attached lo all new and useful prepara? tions. He, therefore, endeavored lo invest it with Wrongest possible safeguard ng.iinst coun:erfeitcrs, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished chemists fox analysis, and pronounced by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity and properties having becu thus ascertained, samples of the article were forwarded to ten ihousand phy? sicians, including all the leading practitioners in the United Slates, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of (he preparation and a report of the result, accompanied each specimen. Four thousand of tho most eminent medical men in tho Ctiion promptly responded. Their opin? ions of the article were unanimously favorable. Such a preparation they sftid, bad long been wanted by the profession, as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce, ail of which were more or less adulterated, and therefore unlit for medical purposes. The peculiar excellence anil strength of ihc oil of junipor, which formed one of ihc principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to? gether with an unalloyed character of the alcohol? ic element, give it, iu the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stitnuiaut as a diuretic, Ionic aud restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional men of the highest rank were published in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each but tie of i lie Schnapps, as one of iho guarantees of its genuine? ness. Other precautions ugainst fraud were also adopted: a patent was obtained for the article, the label was copyrighted, a fic simile of the pro- i nrictor's autograph signal uro was aitachcd loeacli label and cover, Iiis name and that of ihcpiepara liou were embossed on the hollies, aud tlie corks ] were scaled with his private seul. No article bad ever been sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's j Schiedam Aromatic Suhnapps. in 1851; nnd the label was deposited, as his trade mark, in i lie Uni? ted Slates District Court for the Southern District ol New York thnl year. It might be supposed'by persons unacquainted with the daring character of the pirnics who prey upon the reputation of honorable merchants by vending deleterious trash uuder their name, that the proteclion so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded the introduction and sale of counterfeits. They seem, however, to have only stimulated the rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen; i be indorsement which Iiis Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medical profes? sion has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bottles have been imitated, his ad? vertisements paraph rased, his circulars copied, and worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after dispo aingiof the genuine contents of his hollies, have filled them up with common gin, the most delete? rious of all liquors, and thus made his name nnd brand a cover for poison. The public,.the medical profession and tho sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as a remedy, are equally interested with the proprielor iu ihc detection and suppres? sion of these nefarious practices. The gcuiiine article, manufactured at the cutnblishinsnt of I be undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with an esscnlial extract of tlia berry of tho Ital? ian juniper, of unequalled purity.. By a process unknown in the preparation of any oilier liquor, it is freed from every acrimonious and corrosive Complaints have been received from the leading physicians and families in the Southern States of the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aro? matic Schnapps in thoie markets; and travellers, who are in the habit of using it as an antidote to the baneful influence of unwholesome nver water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the unwary. The agents of the undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries on the subject, and to forward to him the names of such parties as they may as? certain to he engaged in the atrocious, system of deception. In couclusion, the undersigned would say that, he has produced, from under the hands of the most distinguished men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal excellence of the Scheidam Aromatic Schnapps ; that he has expended '..any thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed should protect the public and himself against fraudulent imitations: that he has shown it to be the only liquor in the world that can be uniformly depended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation which bears his name, seal and trade mark, has come off trium? phant, lie therefore feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to the medical pro? fession und the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls upon the press and the pub? lic to aid him in his efforts to remedy so great an evil. The following letters and certificates from the leading physicians and chemists of this city will prove to tho reader that all goods sold by the un? dersigned are all they are represented to be. UDOLPIIO WOLFE. I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps as being in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medical patronage. .\t all events, it is the purost possible article of Holland Gin, here? tofore unobtainable, and as such may be safely pre scri ied by physicians.

Udolpiio Wolfe, Esq., Prtsmt: Dear Sir: I have made a chemical examination of a sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intention of determining if any foreign or injurious substance had bceu added to the simple distilled spirits. Tho examination has resulted in the conclusion that the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admixture. 1 have been unable to discover any trace of the deleterious substances which arc em? ployed in the adulteration of liquors. I would not I hesitate to use myself or to recommend to others, for medicinal purposes, the Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and unobjectionable variety of gin. Very respectfully yours.

Delirium tre? mens, and other diseases of the brain and nerves, so rife in thiscountry, are very rare in Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the difference iu the purity of (he spirits sold.
