JVudevsau Intelligences Thursday Horning, September 123rd, 1869. John T. Sloan, jr., is the regular Author? ized agent in Columbia to solicit advertisements and proeure subscripiioos for the Intelligencer. NOTICE TO DELINQUENTS. Persons iudebted to (bis office for subscription are earnestly requested lo pay us a visit next week and discharge their indebtedness. The cross mark will signify to subscribers who is meant in this request. With some we have wait ed patiently, in view of the necessity for them to use their money for other purposes, and we trust they wi.l show a due appreciation of this indul? gence by responding nromptly. Those indebted for advertising and job work are notified that the demands against them must likewise be settled without delay. ? A sample of long staple cotton, raised Oconee county by Mr. James Zachart, has been exhibited to us. PersoM desirous of inspecting the sample will call on Towers & Burriss, of this place. JJQT Mr. S Frank McConnell has sent to thi office aboiil'3 of choice syrup, made from Sorghur cane. It is equal in clearness and flavor to a,most any syrup now in market, and evidences superior management in its manufacture. Our friend will accept our thanks for his sweetened compliment. ?-? CIRCUIT COURT. The September term begins on Monday next at this place. The Sessions business will be com? paratively light. We presume that ihe civil busi? ness will occupy the greater pan of the two weeks allowed for the term. METHODIST DISTRICT MEETING. At our request, the Seoretary of this body has obligingly furnished the readers of this paper with a synopsis of the proceedings. We attended the meeting on several occasions, and can testify to the earnestness and interest manifested by the delegates and visitors. The church was crowded nightly with serious and attentive congregations, and many souls h?.ve been led to enquire (he way of salvation. Nine persons have connected them? selves with the church, and the services are con? tinued at night, with preaching from such minis ters as were enabled to remain over to aid the pastor. -* THE CENSUS?A CORRECTION. The Commissioner of Agriculture, Mr. Henry Sar.nick. in a communication tolhePhcenix, makes a correction of an article in our last issue relative to the enumeration of the inhabitants of this State, and in justice to him and his officials, we give p ace to his correction. Since Mr. SPARNiCK'acard was put in type, we have received a communication on the subject, signed by the Census Taker of this County, but which it is unnecessary to publish, as the correction is more fully made by (be head of the Agricultural Bureau. We had no intention of doing injustice (o any one. aud the article in out? last issue was based upon what we deemed reliable lufirmaiion, not having examined (be blanks specially tor that purpase. THE REPUDIATION MOVEMENT. It seoms that (be action of the meeting held in Un>on last saleday does not meet with much favor among ihe newspaper fraternity. Many of the presses are entirely silept on the subject; others content themselves with re-printing the opinions set lonh by (he Union Times and Charleston AT>ios espousing the movement ; still others make bold to decry the whole thing, and pronounce against wha( would be a suicidal policy, to say (he least. Among the latter, we observe (hat (he Abbeville Press ranks foremost in i(s opposition (o the scheme, having argued the points involved at greater length and with its usual ability. The Fairfield ll ruld pronounces Ihe move ill timed, and agrees with us that it comes with bad grace from Union. The Yorkville Enquirer dissents from the project as ruinous and impracticable.and per? haps others have argued to the same general pur? pose. Hence, it is now concluded that the whole affair must fall to the ground, and this is admitted by the Charleston Sews, which admonishes the people ihat they mu?t rely for protection '-upon the success of their efforts to effect (he speedy overthrow of Kadicahsm at the pulls." This is a wise and reasonable conclusion, and for the sake o: ihe Democratic parly in this State, we trust that such chimerical projects will henceforth be ignored. DISTRESSING CASUALTY. Wc have received a letter from our esteemed friend, Maj. George Seaborn, giving the particu? lars ot a distressing aud fatal accident which oc? curred at the Pendlet on Factory on Saturduy last, resulting in the death of Mrs. McDuw, nn estima? ble widow lady of that neighborhood. The to.low iug embraces the particulars ; ?'Mrs. McDnw came to the Factory to bavesomo wool carded, and from curiosity or other motive, went in front of the machinery, and putting her hand and arm too near tho wool cylinder, ihe sleeve of her dress was caught, pulling her into the machine, and resulting in her arm being bro? ken aud mangled in a most distressing manner. The body was thrown over on the left of the ma? chine from her position when caught. The acci? dent happened about two o'clock p. m. The pro? prietor, Mr. Wm Perry, had just lett the Factory, and on being sent for, hastened to her assistance, removed her to his residence, and sent to Pendle t>u for physicians. Dits. Pickens aud Sloan re sponded promptly, and found Mrs. McDow very much exhausted, so much so thai they declined to amputate ihe limb until reaction should lake place. They applied restoratives without effect?profes? sional skill and the most devoted intention availed pot, and after four hours of great euffering. death closed the scene. Her son reached her bedside a few minutes before she died." a?* The card of Cnpt. A. B. Mulligan, ot Charleston, is published in our columns to-day. The Capt. is a gallant ex-Confederate, and is per hips well known to many of our readers. He has bei n engaged in business for a number of years, au i .*iil) experience, energy and industry, deserves W:ll at the hands of the public. His card shows that he is engaged in ihe Cotton Factorage und General Commission Business, embracing die sale of all kinds of staple produce; and he will uleo give particular attention to (lie purchase and tor wanting of merchandize, maohinery, agricultural implements, seeds, manures, &e. We have received from Messrs. Smith & fJoVBY, of Feuilleton, a superior "lung-handled" Broom, of their own manufaotuer. These get tlemen have recently established a ?ruom Factory, and we are assured by merchants that the prices and quality of these brooms arc equal in every re? spect, lo those purchased at tie North, We hail with gratification this evidence of enterprise, und i trust the proprietors will bo sbundantly rewarded. I THE AIR LINE RAILROAD. We are gratified to know that at least some in? terest has been awakened in this enterprise, and that ft has assumed a tangible form. A number of gentlemen have signed a call for a public meeting of the citizens of Anderson county, tobe held in the Courl House on Tuesday next, 28th instant, and we sincerely hope that the meeting will be largely attended by the farmers and capi? talists of this county. If we want the Air Line Railroad, the necessity is imperative to put our shoulders to the wheel, and convince the Compa? ny that we are in earnest. It will not do for the people of Andersou to console themselves with the reflection that this is the most direct route and the Road will be built through here without material aid from its citizens. The people of Oconee and Pickeus are moving, and it is highly probable that each county in its corporate capaci? ty will subscribe $2U0,000 to the lload, with the simple condition that the track shall be laid with? in two miles of the commercial centres of those counties. Is not Anderson abundantly able to offset this rction by a similar subscription ? The amended charier of the Road authorizes counties aud towns interested in its construction to sub? scribe to the capital stock, aud under this provis? ion of the charter a liberal subscription ought to be made, in order that the Company might be induced to adhere to the original route through Anderson, and from thence direct to Charlotte. The Couuty Commissioners are likewise author? ized to act in the premises, and we presume that a prime object of the meeting on next Tuesday will be to lequest that the Board will order an election on the question, whether or not (hey shall subscribe a certain amount of stock by giv? ing the bonds of the county, with a proviso that the Road be located and built within a convien ient distance of the Court House. In our judg mcnt. it would be wise policy for the county to take whatever stock will be necessary to grade the Road from Savannah River to this point, and that private subscriptions of land and money should be made to that extent as will insure its completion to the farthest point of our territory. But first 1st us secure the location here, and we are confident that the Road will progress rapidly toward its eastern terminus. As a matter of interest in this connection, we will state that the grading for the first twenty miles of the Air Line Road is nearly ready for the rails. The locomotive, cars and irou have probably reached Atlanta by this time, and the work of laying the rails will be commenced at once and continued until the whole twenty miles is completed The contract for grading tho road to Gainesville will be let out in a few days, and from that point the location of the Road will be determined by the action of the people on this end of the lino. It is absolutely necessary, there? fore, that there be no delay, if we would nave a voice in settling this question. -4?. LITERATURE IN THE SOUTH. All Southern men and women with the proper feelings of self-respect, should be deeply interes? ted in the' efforts which are now being made throughout the South to develop her native literary talent, and to build up literature, through which her past history shall be vindicated from all the obloquy which is now being heaped upon it, and whereby Southern thought and Southern civiliza? tion shall be adequately represented, in the arena ot the modern world. But strange as it may ap? pear, there prevail a remarkable apathy and in? difference on the part of the great mass of the population to all literary projects, which can scarcely be accounted fur on grounds creditable to Southern character. The editors of the South, ns a body, have perhaps done what they could to dis? pel i!? is indifference, aud to arouse the people to the imperative necessity of fostering native enter? prise, if thpy wiih to prcservo inviolate the Bacred honor of their dead, and to bequeath a heritage of ?iberty to their children. . The New Eclectic Magazine, which has now been iu existence for three years, and with which has recently been incorporated The Land We Love, stands at the brad of the list of Southern publica? tions. At this period ofjfre year, when persons are in the habit of choosing their periodicals for 1 the winter, it is especially requested of tho Public that they beMow a part at least of their patronage ! upon a periodical published in their interest, and I which, the Southern and Northern press both being judges, is the peer of any magazine published in America,?both in its literary standard and the quality and attractiveness of-ils typography. SOUTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY. We learn from the Columbia Phoenix that Dr. A. G. .Mauset has been elected Professor of Nat? ural and Mechanical Philosophy and Astronomy; Joseph A. Jones, of Georgia, Professor of Chem? istry; T. E. Hbaht, Esq., of Darlington, Profes? sor of Mathematics; and Dr. John Lynch, of Co" lumbia. Demonstrator of Anatomy. 'Our cotem pnrary makes i tie following comments : Dr. Mackry is well known iu this State. His correspondence with Dowen, to say nothing of his previous elegant effor's. shows n command of lan? guage that may be well in a professor; but, be tore this, we were not aware that lie aspired to natural and mechanical philosophy and astrono my. We suppose the idea of tlie Board wnn that his election would, at best, ninkc the University ?'see stars" from the telling blow it gets in hin eleciion to a chair in that seat of learning. Dr. Jones, we are informed, in of Georgia. We do not know this professor. Professor Heart H a graduate of the Citadel Academy?was a professor in the F'tiiniiti University, and is a gentleman of high character and fine attainment. Dr. John Lynch is ?eil known as one of our local physi? cians. Since the above was put in type, we have learn? ed from the Phanixaf alater date that Drs. Lynch and Mackey declined to accept the positions ten dered them. Bkikf Local Items.?The annual exhibit of the financial affairs of the Town Council is published to-day. There are a number of defaulting tax-payers likely to see their names in print before many days unless they call upon the clerk of the Town Council, Dr, W. II Naiidin, and squaro up their indebtedness to the town. The bar-rooms in this village have bcrn closed. The Council refused tu grant license on and after the I3th instant, at which time all the furnier licenses expired. Many of our merchants have gone to Charles? ton and New Yurk lo purchase fall supplies. Mr. Stkpiikn McCtTw.y is about toercoi another three-story brick building on (he north side of the public square. A genuine velocipede made its appearance upon the public square one day last week, under the management of a young man learning the art of riding these ricketty machines. The velocipede belonged to Hansley's Varieties, but the rider was one of our own citizens. ? The details of the great calamity in Pennsyl? vania, published on our outside to day, will be read with painful interest. So sudden and so ter? rible a destruction of human life, l?v> hot probably occurred before on American soil, ITEMS-EDITORIAL AB'D OTHERWISE. ? Captain E. McBarron Timoney, of Georgia, has been appointed Consul to Lumbez, Peru. -? Twenty-six Cuban filibusters have been cap? tured near New Bedford, off the coast of Massa chusetts. ? Professor E. L. Patton, late of Erskine Col? lege, has accepted the Presidency of Jackson Col? lege, West Tennessee. ? The orange groves on the St. John's River, Florida, are said to be more fruitful than for ten years previously. ? The Texas electiou occurs on the 30th of No? vember, 1st, 2d and 3d of December. The people will vote only at Court Houses. ? The White Sulphur Springs of Virginia have not been sold to Northern capitalists as reported. The lease of the present proprietors has three yenrs to run. ? The Commissioners appointed to codify the laws of this State arc said to be at work, and will probably report at the next meeting of the Legis? lature. ? Col. Wm. P. Shingler, formerly commander of tho Holcombe Legion, and a member of the State Legislature before and during the war, died last week. ? Secretary Bout well, Commissioner Delano and Colonel Capron have accepted invitations to visit the Georgia Slate Fair, which takes place at Ma con on the IGth of November next. ? Ex-President Millnrd Fil more has been ap? pointed a delegate and will attend and preside at the organization of the Southern Commercial Con? vention to be held in Louisville, Ky. ? The Imperialist, a newspaper started in New York a few months ?ince, for the purpose of advo? cating a monarchy in these United States, has sus? pended for want of patronage. ? The Democratic Convention of Ohio has nom? inated a ticket composed equally of Dcmocratsand Republicans. The successes in Virginia and Ten? nessee seem to be making a decided impression. ? The National Pomological Society, which met in Philadelphia last week, was attended by dele? gates from twenty-two Stales. The next annual meeting will be held at Richmond, Va. ? A man named Henry C. Alley, of Spartan burg, has been arrested iu Columbia, charged with being accessory to the murder of a negro named ?urnet, in the town of Spartan burg, on the night of the 14th inst. ? Judge Thomas, at Ches'er, last week, tried a case involving the validity of negro bonds, and charged the jury so explicitly ngainst the bonis, that they brought in a verdict wholly ignoring that portion of the plaintiff's claim, which was a debt incurred for the purchase of negroes. ? The Town Council of Greenville, by their Treasurer b exhibit, would appear to have arrived at the very perfection of financiering, for it is sel? dom that the expenditures of a public body so nearly tally with the estimates or with the receipts of the year, as is the case in Greenville, where the balance sheet shows "cash on hand two cents." ? Much of what has been sta?ed as the policy of the Administration on the subject of Cuban af? fairs is mere conjecture; nothing has been done be? yond instructing Minister Sickles to offer the Uni. ted State as a mediator. There are no prospects that belligerent rights will b; recognized. The Ad mi nisi rat ion will, however, enforce the neutrality jaws and respect its treaty obligations. There is no doubt its sympathies are with the Cubans aud in all U may do, it will act with a view of effecting a settlement of the question in a manner that will be satisfactory to alt parties interested.

The Greenville District Meeting of the South i Carolina Conference has just held its annual ses? sion at Anderson Village. Iis deliberations were presided over by Bishop Wit. M. Wightman, in the Methodist Church, and tho large crowds that at? tended the discussions upon various subjects in connection with ihe church, evinced a lively and continued interest in the same. The meeting was preceded by a sermon from Rev. J. M. Carlisle, oa the evening of the 15th. There was preaching every night by various min? isters, and the pulpits of the Baptist and Presby teriau churches having beet, kindly tendered by those denominations, were used on the Sabbath. The Uishop preached twice during the meeting, aud made several addresses from the chair upon topics counected with the interests of the church. Upwards of 50 delegates were in attendance, rep? resenting tj'J churches, wkhin the counties of Greenville, Anderson, Pickeus, and a part of Spariauburg, the members!; ip of the same bjuiug about 3,250. By a compilation of statistics, the gratifying fact is ascertained thataboui 300 have, within the last few mouths, been added to the membership' being about 10 per ceut. increase, which indicates acouditionof Illings calling lor profound grati? tude lo Almighty Uod. Rev. Samuel Leurd, agent for Sunday Schools ; Rev. Win. Martin, agent for the Washington Street Church, Columbia; Rev. S. U. Jones, President of Spartauburg Female College; Professor Lester, from Wuffurd College, wee present as visiting brethren. Father Derrick, one of the oldest and most venerable miuuters of our Conference, cheered the hearts of Iiis younger brethren by ln? allusions to the past, and the words of hope lor the future, lie conducted the love feast on Sabbalh afternoon, one of i he most pleasing fea? tures of the meeting. The utmost harmony pre? vailed throughout, and lue meeting closed on Sabbath with a delightful rjviv.';! of religion still iu continuance. The hint resolution patwed by the District Meeting was their expansion of pleasure at the kind hospitality extended to ihein by the citizens of Anderson and vicinity. The next District Meeting will be held at Wil lianiblon, S. C. 0. F. ROUND, Sec. -* FATAL AND TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE Sju'IH CAROLINA RAILROAD. The Columbia Phoenix of last Sunday gives the following particulars of a frightful accident on the Soultf Carolina Railroad : We are pained to record i most terrible aocident, which occurred to the uighl express train over the tiuuth Carolina Railroad, vemeru.iy morning. A large tree had lalleu-iicross the track aud broken down a portion of the long tresile which crosses Cotigaree swamp, a short distance below Kiugville; and as it was not observed by (he engineer, owing to tho dai kness aud mist, the locomotive ran into i the gap, and together with a number of freight cars, was precipitated, to the ground. In a lew minutes, it was found that fire had been communicated to the cms, aud in a very short time thirteen freight cars, with their valuable ci-ntentu, weretotally de? stroyed; and mournful to relate, I he engiueet, Mr. Sebruti Hargrove?bou-ui law ol our leliow-citizeu, Ca pi. W. H. Casson?was burnl lo death, nothing but bis charred remains being recovered ; the fire? man, Mr. J. Gilbert, was itisiatiily killed ; another fireman. Mr. Charles 11. Burns, was badly burnt ; but was taken io his hum j in Charleston. The flames extended to the tresi le-work, and also lo the telegraph poles, a number of which were burnt. The trees iu the swamp alto took fire, aud for a time it was feared that, the conflagration would be come general. Through the presence of mind of Conductor W. H. Evans, (of whom the passengers spenk in the highest terms.) aided by Messrs. W. I). Peck, J. W. Perkins and others, the conductor's and the passenger's coaches were uncoupled and run back?thus preveuting a fearful loss of life. An attempt was made to save the baggage, by smashing in (he car with coupling-pins?the only implements obtainable?which was partially suc? cessful, and a number of trunks were rescued ; but a majority of the passengers lost their bag? gage. The mails were saved. The express mes? senger, Mr. Thomas H. Symmes, worked energeti? cally, and succeeded in saving all his money packages, with the exception of $120; but his freight was all lost. Messrs. .lames Mnguire and Wm. Lyles (train hands) are entitled to great credit for their earnesi and energetic efforts during the whole of Ihe trying scene. The loss of the rail? road company will exceed $100,000. The train had been behind time, but when the accident oc? curred, was running very slowly. The locomotive ?the W. C. Dukes?was a perfect wreck. The scene, as described by eye witnesses, was horrible in the extreme, and strongnren shed tears at the sight, and at. their inability to assist tho un? fortunate engineer, who was naught in the machin? ery of ihe broken engine, and was burnt to death before the eyes of the assembled passengers. Mr. Hargroves was perfectly cool and collected ; and although occasionally his painful situation forced from him a shriek, he was yet thoughtful of others, and warned several parlies, who attempted to re? lease him, of the danger they incurred, and at the same lime informing them of the impossibility of rendering him any aid. He called ton friend, (al? though at the time the fire had burnt his hair off completely, and the lever which lay across his bo'ly had forced out his entrails,) and gave him a message to his wife; he then folded his arms across his breast, and there they remained until the left arm was completely burnt off. The fire? man, Mr. Gilbert, was instantly killed?being crushed under the immense mass. IMPORTANT CIRCULAR FROM THE NEW BEEEY IMMIGRATION SOCIETY. The Immigration Society of Newberry South j Carolina, is prepared to furnish the country with field laborers and mechanics; requiring their travelling expenses, &c, to be paid in advance, and desiring recommendations from such persons as are unknown to the society. Single fema'e servants cannot be obtained. The society can promise with certainty to fill, between the 15th of Novemher, 1869, and the 15th of March, 1870, on? ly the first 5u0 orders, therefore it behooves those who really desire to obtain laborers lo send their orders as soon as possible. The money, to be advanced, which must, with? out fail, accompany the order, is twenty-five dol? lars for a single laborer, and sixty dollars for a family. The actual expenses of traveling from New York to any point on the South Carolina and Greenville and Columbia Railroads?sixteen dollars for a grown person, and eight dollars for children be? tween three and twelve years old. (nothing for children under three years)?will be paid from ihe wages of the immigrant. The society will charge, for contingent expen? ses, four dollars for a single laborer, and six dol? lars for a family. Besides this, the society will set aside from the money advanced five dollars from each order?whether for a single laborer or family?lo establish a fund lo secure from loss, re? sulting from failure of the immigrant to embark, after his passage has been paid, &c. This fund is also lor the purpose of reimbursing any employer who can satisfactorily show that a laborer has left him before he could refund the money prepaid for his traveling expenses. The contribution for con. tingent expenses is not included in this fund. Any amount of the fund remaining at the end of the year 187U, will be returned to employers in proportion to what they have paid. The Contingent expenses and the contribution for the fund ngainst losses, which the society might sustain, must be paid by the employer and not be deducted from the wages of the employee. If the society fails lo fill an order, it will return the money advanced, d-ducling only the postage. The society has appointed agents only at Char? leston, Columbia and Newberry ; if however, the order desires immigrants to be forwarded to other points, he must appoint some one at such place to take charge of them, and the name of such person must be communicated to the subscriber. The society pays the traveling expenses only to stations along the South Carolina and Greenville and Columbia Railroads, and will not be responsi? ble for expenses incurred on other railroads. Upon the arrival of the immigrant, the society will make out a bill of all expenses and present to the person ordering for settlement. The wages of the immigrants will be fixed as follows, unless the laborer consents loa reduction: field LABOHEItS. 1st. Single laborer?S10 monthly, with hoard, lodging and washing. ^Not required to.dob.is own couking ) id. Families?For a man $10 monthly; for a working woman $5, with provisions. The em? ployer can either have the couking done, or he can give them rations and allow the wife time to cook. The following rations have been proven by last year's experience to. be sufficient for a man : Six quarts corn meal, three aud a half pounds wheat dour, three and a half pounds meat, half pound coffee, one and a half quarts molasses a week, and some milk daily. For a woman: Four quarts corn meal, two pounds meat, half pound coflee, one quurt molasses a week and some milk daily. Should i he em pi over prefer giving the family money with which to procure provisions, the amount fixed upon is about six dollars and fifty cents a month for a man, and four dollars for a woman, with a small garden, which must be work ed only in spare time. Children, capable of work, must be paid accor? ding to their services; and (he wages must be nr ranged between the employer and their parents. MECHANICS. All persons desiring mechanics must define what wages and conditions (hey are willing to eutcr in? to with employees. Unless difiYreuly expressed in the order, all immigrants will consider themselves engaged until Christmas, 1870 The immigrant, in cases of disagreement with his employer, shall always be allowed to make his appeal to the society, which, ii the complaint is well founded and cannot be adjusted, will proceed to obtain him another place. Employers would do well not to excite expecta lions by making the immigrants any promises, about the i'ulfi linent of which there Can hi any doubt, and thus avoid one great cause of discon? tent. It is advisable, the society thinks, to place the laborer at ihe very commencement of his service upon the very work he is to do, and to see that he dues it properly. This would do much towards securing a good and faithful laborer. All letters, remittances, &c , most bedirectedto the subscriber, and wi inert in a legible hand. All orders must be given before the 20lli of Oc? tober, 1809. F. G. BRUGGEMANN. General Agent of tho Immigration Society of Newberry. -* Query.?What has become of the Anderson Farmer's Association ?
