Those of our patrons in arrears for subscription-,, and all persons indebted for adver? tising arvd job work, would do well to make imme? diate payment, as the affairs of the late firm must Be settled without delay. ?:Mr. Waiters retires from the fraternity with our most cordial wishes for his future success. An intimate business connection for the past two years Iras not diminished a friendship of long standing, and we trust that the greatest prosperity and hap pinesB will attend him. In introducing Mr. clisk8cai.ei to our patrons, vre can express the utmost confidence in his fidelity and faithfulness to business, and are perfectly as? sured in commending him to the public generally. Ue is a native of this District and a practical prin? ter, aud has been closely associatsd with us for the past ten years, both at home and in the army. Therefore, we know him well, and feel satisfied that every exertion will be made by him to render the paper worthy of patronage. The editorial control of the Intelligencer will re? main, as heretofore, in the hands of the senior proprietor, whose experience is a guarantee that the public will be served with tha latest news, choicest miscellany and a variety ef useful infor? mation. ? - k CABI>. Having disposed of my interest in the Office of the Anderson Intelligencer to J. F. Clinkscales, I take this opportunity of returning my most Sin? sen thamis to the people of Anderson District for the liberal patronage which they have been pleased to bestow upon Hoyt St Walters. The Anderson InUlUgeneer has been liberally sustained, and my connection with it has been severed amidst many regrets, though duty and Interest alike uni? ted in demanding the course which I have taken. My former partner, James A. Hoyt, with whom my business relations have been reluctantly dis? solved, will continue to control the editorial col? nmns of the paper, and this announcement alone is sufficient to satisfy the people of the District that the Intelligencer will com inue to merit that favor and support from the people hitherto be? stowed. Mr. Clinkscalk? is also well known to the people of Anderson, amoni whom he was born and raised, and I feel satisfied that the new firm cannot fail to succeed in securing the continued patronage of the people of Anderson and adjoin? ing Districts. All parties concerned have my very best wishes for success and prosperity, and I hope my successors will have no delinquent sub? scribers, that advertisers will pay in advance, and that all ^ob work, will be paid for on delivery. W. E. WALTERS. GEW. D. H. HILL. The citizens of Anderson have bee? favcrod with a visit from this distinguished soldier of the late Confederate army, and on Thursday night last a large and appreciative audien;c assembled in the Court House to bear a lecture from Gen. HiLLup oniSouthern literature. Although the notice was exceedingly, short, and-the weather unfavorable, the Courtroom wns filled with ladies and gentle? men delighted;to honor the gaJlnut cx-Confcdcralc General. His lecture abounded iu interest and was filled with valuable information, interspersed with numerous anecdotes appropriately applied. . His exordium was beautiful and touching, having reference to the "Lost Cause'' and its thousand clustering memories. The glorhjus achievmcnts of the *'boys in grey" were fittingly alluded to, while the sacrifices and devotion of Southern wo? men were eloquently depicted. Another feature, and one of the most interesting, was the just re? buke administered to Southerners who despise and con:emn the literature of their own section, by awarding the greater share of patronage to the trashy literature of the North ; and in this connec? tion, Gen. Hill forcibly portrayed the common practice of Southern editors iu keeping the claims of other publications prominently before the peo? ple to the exclusion of meritorious enterprises at home. This portion of his leciure was dwelt up on at length, being the principal topic, and it would materially improve the condition of Southern liter? ature for every man, woman and child in "Dixie" to hear the General dilate upon the practice of the press and people in sustaining Northern magazines, and newspapers to the detriment of similar publi? cations in our very midst. He was particularly severe, in a good humored way, upon the editorial fraternity, or at least that portion engaged in up? holding the circulation of Northern literature and barely recognizing the claims of their neighbors. The ladies, too, came in for a share of gentle ad? monition and wholesome reproof for sustaining t.nd encourag:jag fashion magazines, and not giving ij. thought to. the nwc solid and beneficial publica? tions by which they are sursounded. Still another portion of the lecture was- devated to Southern valor, and statistical proof was adduced to. show that tho heaviest blows dealt against the Confeder ate cause were by Federal Generals --to the manor born," and that the greatest proportion of fighting troops in the Northern army were recruited from Southern States. That is to any, many of thetuost successful Generals in the Federal army were natives of the South, and over 400,000 white men were enlisted from Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia. Maryland and North Carolina, to fight the liatdss-of the Union. This was also made ap? plicable to the subject, in adverting to the fact that the greatest drawbacks to Southern achieve? ment in letters were to be foujuLin every commu? nity where the liou's share of natrouage was ac? corded to Northern publishers. Of course, we have only attempted to. prcsout a few leading ideas of this admirable leciure, hoping tiiey nre sufficiently clear to set the reader to pondering over his or her own conduct in this mat" tor... Gen. Hjli. received subscribers to his own magazine,. Tho Land We Love, which has recently been united with the New Electric, as staled in our last issue. We are gratified to.know that a list uf forty names was handed to- hlui. and we h'ust there are many others who will subscribe hereafter. The sojourn of Gen Hill whs vory limited, but many of our citizens were introduced lo him, and found him an agrcenble, fascinating gentleman, modest in mien, with extensive learning and'ojl in? exhaustible fund of genuine humor, governed by practical common sense. His devotion in country gnd reverence for the heroic memories of the Con? federate cause are widely known and appreciated. This was flatteringly demonstrated by i he unusual? ly large audience which greeted him on Thursday Jigh:. lie i.l: fyrG.rceunllc "?'? Friday aftcruoou. THE EXPERIENCE CF ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL PLANTER. We nie again favored with an opportunity of presenting the views and experience of tin intelli? gent and successful planter to our readers. A letter before us from Maj. R. A. Griffin, of Nine- i ty sTx, in Abbeville District, gives Iiis experience | in regard to rhe ?sc of fertilizers, their mode of application, and other matters of interest to tlie 1 farming <ominunily. We make the following in? teresting extracts : "I always roll my .?oed in some cf the Phosphates, and often mix with Peruvian Guano, (two-thirds Phosphate and one-third Peruvian.) and frequent? ly with Peruvian Guano and Plaster, all with gooi efTcct. If 1 could afford to do no more, I would always roll as above. It brings up the plant strong and vigorous, and facilitates the cultivation, ami would pay in this way if (lie yield was not in? creased one pound. Dr. Blake mixed Peruvian Guano ami ashes, and rolled his seed in the morn? ing .sufficient for all day's planting. When the time arrived fur it lo come up. he found the fertnoon's planting of each day, throughout the crop, a good stand?the evening's planting no stand at all. How do you account for that ? Ashes aud Guano should never be mixed, which you already know. "lam now top-dressing my wheat with Baugh's Rawbone Phosphate, at the rate of 160 lbs. to the acre ; would mix Plaster if I had it on hand, though I don't know that it would be of much benefit, unless the grain covered* the ground, as the Plaster possesses no fertilizing qualities, ex? cept through the stems and ?lao'es of plants. It might fix the ammonia in the Phosphates. The land I am now dressing will be sown in clover, and when it covers the ground will dress with Plaster. You might mix one-third Peruvian Guano and two thirds Phosphate, and say one bushel of Plaster mixed with all you apply lo an acre, with good effect. I have tried it on clover, and its effects were marked. "I applied the Wando, Soluble Pacific and Baugh's Phesphate to turnips, five hundred pounds of the three altogether, applied separate y, but the worms destroyed them. I then sowed three bushels ef barley per acre on the lot. which is now very fine, high enough to cut will reap-hooks. I see ne difference in the different plats. ?'I am planting quite largely this year ; propose to plant three hundred acres in cotton, and apply Phosphate and Guano to the entire crop. At my plantation, I am turning over some bottoms and uplands with the Brinly and Watt two-horse plows, and they work beautifully. 1 cannot experiment much there, but am trying to have things done as neatly aud thoroughly as it is possible. I will on? ly plant about eighty acres in corn, mostly bottom ; have thirty bushels of barely and and two hundred and twenty-five bushels of red oats sown. **(Jn this farm, I have seven hands hired for wa? ges and five on shares. With my seven, I propose to plant only thirty-five acres iu cotton, ta which l am applying all my manure, and four hundred bushels of cotton seed, laying off with two horses. Ou ten acres, will npp'y -oO lbs. Baugh's Phos? phate aud 150 lbs. Peruvian Guano, and 100 lbs. Plaster. When I apply barn-yard manure, will use about half the quantity as above, putting it in as I plant, besides rolling the seed. A part of :ny rows are four feet and some three and a half feet. "I have ten acres to which I am applying forty bushels of cotton seed to the acre, and running off first with a two-horse shovel, and following with a long bull-tongwe ; i lien open again with two horses to what I call a double twister, (looks like two twisters welded together, a wing on both sides.) which throws out s very wide and deep furrow, in which the seed arc deposited. I then ridge with a ,bng scooter, without wing. In tact, I am putting in all my domestic manure in the same way. When it is all completed in Ibis way, I will then throw ;lwo furrows oil this with a turrming plow, and follow with a scooter. Just before planting throw out the middles, i.s we tesra. it. I ought to make fifty bags on the 35 acres. '?Having to apply fertilizers to the entire crop, I have been puzzled how to go about it, so as not commeu&a too early, und yet have all applied in good time. I propone the following pla? : Lay off all your lands now with two horses and follow with subsoil, aud ridge witli scooter as above. Thon, if it approaches say 25th of March to 1st of April, scatter your fertilizers along this ridge, which will be below the surface level, (and if a ':considerable portion scatters in (he op?a scooter furrows, it is no disadvantage.) and then bed oa this with the turning plows. Don't we concentrate our manures in too narrow a drill ? Where do the long fibrous roots get nourishment from! Would it not lie better to scatter half of these heavy ap? plications at second or third plowing?" SOLOMON L. HOGS. The Washington rAroHic/rannounces (lit arrival 'of this notorious individual in that city, and pro? ceeds to ventilate a few falsehoods in connection therewith. The alliance between Iloci and false? hood ii perfectly natural, however, and wo pre? sume these statements emanated, from his fertile brain: Hon. S. L. H?ge, Associate Justice of the Su? preme Court of South Carolina, arrived here last night. He claims a *cat in Congress from the third district of that .Slate. Heed, the Democrat? ic candidate, received a majority of ihe voteacast, and lias a certificate lo that effect. Jiulgo ilogc brings a certificate, signed by the board of can? vassers and hy the Governor, that he received a majority of the legal votes cast. He expects on this certificate to get his seat. If he does not he i? prepared, we understand, to show both outra? geous frauds and violent and bloody intimidation. Hi? district will give, at a fair election, full five thousand Republican majority. The official statement of the election gives Mr. Rkso the only authorized certificate, issued by the Board uf Stute Canvassers, who ware ull Republi? cans. His commission is from Gov. Scott, like? wise a Republican. The certificate upon which HooE expects to g&t his seat is altogether informal and unofficial. But it is impossible for him to tell the truth as to this matter, or aught else concern? ing the election in the Third Congressional Dis? trict. A reward of Five Hundred Dollars Is offered by the Governor of (Georgia, for the apprehension of one Rhhekt H. Cade, commonly known as ''Beiinie fade," who committed a murder on or about !<rd day of November, 18iiS, upo/i the person of Thomas I. Adams, of Elbert county, and who. was arrested and committed lo jail, but made his escape therefrom. Said Robert 1!. Cade it between 23 and 25 years of age, about 5 feel 11 inches high t dark hair, inclined to curl; dark eyes; j rather dark complexion. -'?> ? A member of the North Carolina Legislature I died recently.. A committee was appointed lo es? cort Iiis reumlus lo I lie place of interment, sup? posed to lie, of cturse, somewhere in North Caro? lina. Imagine the surprise of the committee on being told where the deceased lived, away up iu Vermont. He had only been "sojourning" for u short, lime in the old North State,jusl long enough lo get ?ui office. This is quite illustrative of the present condition of affairs, the government of the reconstructed Stales being under the control of straugers auA mci;e adventurers.. TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS.

We publish on our firs! page to day (he testimo? ny of one W. K. Tolbert, in the contested election case of this Congressional District, taken in Colum? bia recently. This man is the confessed murderer of Randolph, and has been induced to give evi? dence implicating respectable gentlemen in that shocking affair. The Abbeville Press cemments as follows upon the statements made by this swift wiiness : This man, it soems, lias been induced lo surren? der himself?has been hired by promises of pardon to do the dirty work of Solomon L. H?ge. If not equal to the '-wickedest man in New 1'ork," he is ccrTaitily the wickedest man that was ever in Ab? beville. He now adds perjury to his many other crimes, and yet he is to be rewarded for his vil? lainies. The carpet-baggers profess zroat horror of violence, yet they claim they have a much greater dcs:re to promote their schemes to secure office and plunder, than to punish law-breakers. They have the greatest offender how in their pus session?one who by his ewn confession is a mur? derer?yet they forgive all. and take their stand on his testimony, because he commits perjury for them. They do not wish lo punish Tolbert half as much as they desire lo disparage the Democratic parly, by perjury and subornation of perjury. We won? der whether (he whole testimony of Tolbert has been published, or only garbled extracts of tht same ? Whs he asked whether he did not surrender himself? Whether he is not now kept in jail and guarded day and night by radical pimps and pro? curers of false testimony ? Whether he ras not promised a paidon for iwearing falsely, and how much of the reward was premised him ? Until ihe production of this testimony we were not aware that Hege was so hard pressed in his effort to claim a peat to which he is not entitled. We thought he relied upon his party in Washington !o admit him per fas et n'fts. Wo lid not think he would descend so low as to bribe a strolling assas? sin?to induce by offers of clemency and reward, so base a fellow to become an informer, and to add to his other crimes the "deep damnation" of per? jury. Verily he is pressed to the wall, when he has lo make such desperate shifts. Huge wants to go to Congress, and truly the prize must be very -alluring which coida prompt means so despicable to secure it. So far as the Democratic party is concerned, Tolbert's testimony is a tissue of falsehoods. Wc trust to procure for our next issue the testimony of every one whom he names, flatly contradicting his statements in every particular. In another ?column we give the testimony of managers at Cokesbury aud Greenwood, which was taken be? fore Judge Hill, during the past week and before Tolbert's testimony reached us, and which estab? lishes the fact of the fairness of the election at those points. We also give the certificate of Major I.eland, which furnishes a full vindication of the Democracy of Greenwood. ; The testimony of Mii.ton Osborn?, a manager at Greenwood, states that the ?rfection was conducted, peaceably and quiet throughout, and was in all re spects as orderly as any election he ever attended. There was no disturbance at the polls, ami no show of force whatsoever. The managers did not refuse to receive any legal vote of any ciiizen who was regularly registered, and on the contrary, efforts were made to induce several persons to> vote who were known lo the managers as registered voters but they refused without assigning any reasons therefor. The deposition of L. D. Conner, one of the managers at Cokesbury, slates that the managers received the votes of all persons regularly regis? tered, and none others ; that non-residents were not alluwcd to vote and none offered to vote. That there was a dotachmcnt of United States troops, under tlie charge of a peace officer, stationed near the polls to preserve order, but there was no occa? sion for their services as the olcdion was conducted quietly and peaceably, and there was no intimida? tion whatever, aud uonc were refused the right of voting. It v. ill bo borne in mind that thesn alBdarits were made before the testimony of Toi.ner.t was published, ajyl. hence the special matters could not be replied to by these witnesses. The certificate of J. A. Lkla.NI), Esq., is a direct answer to some of the reckless charges made in this extraordinary evidence* anil is conclusive prom to our mind that the testimony of Tolbert is a sheer fabrication so. far as relates to the conspiracies and secret organ? ization alleged lo have existed at Greenwood. Mr. Uki.anu's statement is as follows: I served as President of that club, from its or? ganization until about (he middle of September last, when I visited the North to seek aid for an educational enterprise, and was gone until after the Presidential election. The club I considered a legitimate party organization, most ol its constitu? tion and by-laws having been copied from a prin? ted pamphlet emanating from similar clubs in New Xork. A full record of its proceedings was kept ' by the Secretary at all times open, and now open lo the inspection of the public. I deny most em? phatically any connection directly between what is known as tlie Ku Klax Klan and and the Demo? cratic Club of Greenwood. If there was such an organization in the neighborhood of Greenwood or any where else in the County, I knew nothing of it while ?erving as President, nor have l been con? vinced of its existence since my return. As to the appoint men I of ,"v secret commit Ice lo break up Union Leagues by killing their leaders, a simple publication of the list of members of that club would be the most effectual answer. "A NOBLE PAIR OF BROTHERS," The following articles depict, in glowing lerms, the present Radical contestants from the 3rd and 4th Congressional Districts of this State. Com? ment is unnecessary, and we can enly express the opinion that Gen. Butler and the Unionville Time? have performed an important service iu ap? propriate style: From the Fdyefuld Advertiser. Mr. Editor: I hand you for publication that, part of "Associate Justice'' doge's protest in the late Congressional election, which relates to Edge field. He lias prepared forty pages of this pro? test for the purpose of disputing before Congress the validity of the election of the Democratic can? didate, the Hon. J. P. Keed, and I venture to say tbat for bare faced lying, it has net been equalled by any production in this latitude for the last cen? tury. The amplest and most respectable proof can, and will be produced, lo refute, before any rea? sonable tribunal, every charge he has made against Edgetield. (Ne doubt he has been equally reck? less in his disregard of the truth as to the other Districts.) It comes within my knowledge, ibat his Radical confrere Hobt. K. Scott, who writes himself the Governor el South Carolina?a dia? mond of the "same" water?persistently refused (although waited upon by a deputation oi gcutlc nieu from this District and urged to do so,) to ap poiut other Commissioner- of Elections, alter his previous appointees hud declined to act?well knowing that the Democratic majority for theCon gressional District would have been largely in? creased, if wc had been permitted to open tho Polls here. Failing lo gel another set of Commissioners, a gcntlem. n of standing and the highest respecta? bility went lo Hemburg, especially deputized by a number of influential citizens, to see Lcvi Hill, one of the Commissioners designated by the said R. K Scott, (and who as we had been informed had refused to serve.) urged him to come to Edge field Court House, and unite with two residing there, to wit: Truman Boot (white), and Laic renee Cain, (negro.) in opening the Polls. Yet this honest, upright, modest and retiring "Associate Justice" of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, this unpretending, set/'-sacrijicing aspirant for Con? gressional honors at the hands of a people who had never before heard of him, and who know nothing of him now. except his unblushing impu? dence, and brazen-faced mendacity?this Judicial nonentity nnd representative man of South Carolina, brings forth, in the hour of ignominious defeat, these infamous charges against the people of Edgefield District, to sustaiu his cupidity for office and his lust for anything that will pay. This protest, however, Mr. Editor, has one re? freshing feature, and that is the coolness and sang froid of its mendacity, and is another proof of the impenetrability with which a trained and uncon? scionable villain can bolster up falsehood. The entire demeanor of ibis man, nnd others of his feather, is in disgusting contrast with a number of other Northern men who have nude bona fide set? tlements in our midst since the war, and commen? ded themselves, by their consideration and mag? nanimity, to the generous kindness of our people; and who have done so much to relieve the South and restore harmony. This latter class I warrant have no cause of complaint against the Southern people. We are willing to extend to such a cordi? al welcome. But that caravan of robbers and plunderers, spewed up into high places in the State, by the last heaves ot the Revolution, stink in the nostrils of our people, anil no doubt are hooted at, snubbed and damned, as they would be at home with like aims aud pretensions. Very re.'peelfully, your obedient servant. M. C. BUTLER. From the Unionville Times. A. S. Wallace, of York, whose office [is in Co? lumbia ; who once was a legislator, and wanted to enslave free negroes throughout the State, partic? ularly one family in York; who spent the four years of the war, as Attorney for persens wishing exemption from Confederate service; who now holds the office of Internal Revenue Collector for a portion of South Carolina ; this A. S. Wallace, of York, of whese history, we, in our ignorance iot distinguished men, know no more, wants to go to Congre-s. We refer our readers lo our first pige. A. S Wallace, of York, has written a long document, whereby he hopes to establish his right to a seat in Congress. A prolest twenty times as long, or one twentieth as long, will not, to those who have e?cr seen him, prove his right to a seat in Congress. A. S. Wallace is not a nice looking man. in our opinion. Mr. Wallace ihinks there are some gentlemen in Congress, and he wishes to be thrown with them: Mr. Wallace knows Col. Simpson to be a gentleman, and he wishes to have the two names placed together. Mr. Wallace did not think of ntithesis : wt? thought of it. as soon as we saw the two names in the same place. Or, perhaps we do ??Ir. Wallace's ambition injustice; that we have misstated his motives, if so, we must give him credit for wisdom, in not striving after the unat? tainable. (>r, it may be, that this yearning after Congress is only a desire lo be in a position to carry out a scheme of former years ; the re-en alavement of free negroes. The man, who conscientiously endorses the principles of the Republican parly, we can re? spect. Him who calls himself a Republican for the sake of getting office, we cannot respect. The man, who turns his back upon the race lo which God has assigned him, and casts his lot with an? other, we can pity. But him who, for a paltry prize of office, denounces Iiis friends and neigh? bors, slanders his mother-State, maligns the race of which he is a member, and tramples upon his birth-right, we abhor. We regard him as a wretch, too ahjrct for further notice. As far as these charges go, they are false; Mr. Wallace knew them to be false, when he uttered ihem. They will deceive no one; not even the Coiigrm* by whom he may be admitted, notwith? standing his appearance, Iiis bearing, nnd his lack or that intelligence, whi;b becometli so high an office. It wniiM'he ten thousand limes belter (o have Mcnard a representative from the South, than this A. S. Wallace, of York. Sbkator Sawtrr ox the Tenuri of Offici Law. ? In the Senate, on Monday, Mr. Sawyer said he had not I he slightest want of confidence in the President elect, but on the contrary, he de? served ?Iip- general confidence of tho people, be? cause in every position in which he (Gen. Grant) had been placed, he had justified the confidence placed iu hi in. But he thought there was some danger of manifesting confidence in an unwise way?by repealing the tenure of office Act. He believed if I hut Act had been passed'-1 wenty years ago. it would have been bolter for the country, and ho was in favor of continuing it in force, nt least for the present, and probably, always: nnd, even if he were disposed lo repeal it, he would nut do it on the eve of an administration, because it would look loo much like falling before the rising sun. -o ? The Southern Representatives had a confer? ence on Thursday,all the States being represented. The affairs of the South were generally discussed, and it was decided tu draw up a document to pre? sent to General Grant, setting forth liie condition of things, and also suggesting that the South have a member of the Cabinet. No particular man was fixed upon as proper to represent the South in the Cabinet, but it is understood that if General Grant should accede lo their wishes, and request n. com? mittee Jo name a man, Horace M ay liar d will probably be presented. ? ? ? Rrownlow arrived in Washington on Monday, with an escort of twenty persons. It is said that some one attempted to shoot him at Chariottcsvillc, Va., but the pistul wu? wrested from the belliger? ent individual.. ITEMS-EDITORIAL AND OTHERWISE. ? The Louisinna Legislature has already rati? fied tlie fifteenth or suffrage amendment. ? Captain Henry Maury, a distinguished Con? federate officer, died in Mobile on the 22d instant. ? Thomas R. Agncw, a prominent merchant of New York, has purchased 8,700 acres of land in Kdgefield county, near Aiken. ? The Superintendent of Immigration for Ala? bama has received an order for the purchase ef one million and forty thousand acres of ?nnd. ? Dr. 13. W. Taylor has been removed from his position as physician to the Penitentiary, and a brother of Judjre Boozer appointed in his place, ? A bill has been introduced in the Legislature, and referred to the appropriate committee, relative to uniform freight charges on the railroads, ? A petition is being circulated in the House of Representatives, praying General Grant to appoint James M. Ashley, of impeachment fame, to the position of Governor of Montana Territory. ? The suffrage amendment, known as the fif? teenth, has been passed by Congress, and it now goes to the State Legislatures. As finally passed, it confers no right to hold office. ? Samuel Perry, sentenced by a Provost Court, January, 18G8, to eighteen months' imprisonment at hard labor in Fort Macon, for stealing a calf valued at four dollars, has been pardoneu by Gov? ernor Scott. ? The contest for the Speakership of the next House of Representatives is virtually set.led. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, has withdrawn, leaving the field clear to Mr, Biaine, of Maine, who will doubtless receive, by acclamation, the nomination of the Republican caucus. ? Mr. McPherson, Clerk of the Hcusc, has made a roll-call for the 4th of March. After ex? cluding the Representatives from Georgia and Louisiana, and several names where scats are con. tested, the number foots up 137 Republicans and 02 Democrats, thus giving the Republicans more than (wo-lhirds.
