Thursday. BToniiaig, October 14th, 1859. Hon; R. T. McLaik will accept out- thanks for the monthly report of the Department of Agri culture for August nnd September. We have al? ready published a summary of the condition of the crops, as reported- in-this pamphlet. AN8WEB'. TO-THE DABLINGTON SOUTKFKNEE. In-order toielieve the anxiety of our cotempo rnry, vre will' stare that we did" not us* the lan? guage attributed ft) iherfyteltyenoer by him, nor do we endorse the same. We-have had very little to say about the Chinese, and this much not fa? vorable to their coming to this section of the coun try. - . '__ -? WALTSSii ft BASES. f These gentleman have delicately reminded ns of the fact that they have in store a large assort? ment of fancy goods, besides their well selected stock of drugs nnd medicines, which one of the partners recently purchased in New York. They are enlarging their business, and offer many ar? ticles to dealers at wholesale prices. We advise an'early call at their establishment. TOURNAMENT AND COSTUME BAIL. We have received an invitation to be present at a Tournament and Costume Ball, to be given in the town of Union, on Wednesday, 20th of October. In the list of managers, we recognize our friends Col. Jos. Walker and Wm. Mukbo, Esq., among the "seniors," while the gallant Capt. Dick John ?05 beads the "juniors." Success to you, gentle men?it would afford us great pleasure to be with yon, but circumstances will prevent EON. JEFFEB30N DAVIS. This gentleman reached Baltimore on Saturday last, tn route for his borne in Mississippi. We be? lieve lhat Mr. Davis intends taking up bis perma? nent abode among old friends and neighbors, jind we think this is the right course for him to pursue. His exile is no longer demanded, even by his po? litical enemies, while bis example as a good citizen will be felt and admired, like that of Gen. Leb, throughout the country. DEATH OF DB. WILLIAM HE KEY CALHOUN. Our exchanges anuounce the death of Dr. Wm. Henry Calhoon, in Lee county, near Tupelo, Hiss., on the 24th ult He died suddenly of dis? ease, of the heart whilst ?iaiting.a> aick patient. jse was a nauve of ADDeville, and emigrated to Mississippi in 1845, where he established a high reputation as a Physician and a successful plan? ter. He married in Anderson, many years ago Miss Osa, a sister of Hon. James. L. Okb. His wife and four children survive to mourn, his loss. Dr. Calhoun was the youngest son of th*- late James Calhocn, of Abbeville, and a nephew, of Hon. John C. Calhoux. He vcas ajbont fifty-four years old. THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS. . The elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and other States took place on Tuesday last, but we have re? ceived no intelligence as to the result, up to the hour of going to press. The New York Herald\ which is usually well informed, thinks that the chances for carrying Pennsylvania are very slim for the Radicals, and that in Ohio the Democrats will carry the Legislature, while it is quite proba? ble that PjtfrjgjnBa will be dfifgated._Ute. Eat ?both States being contested with a good deal of warmth." "If," says the Sun, "Packer and Pen? dleton are elected, it will throw a dark cloud over the future prospects of the Republican cause. If, on the contrary, both are defeated, it will show that the Democrats have not tact enough to take advantage of the demoralization diffused through the Republican ranks through the blunders of Grant's administration." ENROLLMENT OF MILITIA. We have been furnished with an oficial state? ment of the enrollment of militia in (bis county, and herewith publish the same for general infor tuition.

Agricultural Journals have been attempted in this State at several periods of its history. As a general rule, such enterprises have not met with deserved success. Without stopping to discuss (he causes producing this result, we desire to ap? peal to the farming community in behalf of the Rural Carolinian^ the first number of which ap? peared last week. In point of general excellence, this monthly is net surpassed by any of theestab tished and recognized organs of the agricultural $nd mechanical population of the country. Its airuA are high nnd ennobling, and withal there is a practical recognition of the best interests of those it seeks to represent, and an earnest devotion to the improved systems of agriculture coming in vogue throughout the South. Such features must eommend this new candidate to the patronage of the general public. As the authorized agent lor the Rural Carolinian, we invite our friends to ex? amine specimen copies always on band at this officr- Persons who hare already received the Oc? tober number, and who desire to become regular subscribers, are requested to hand in their names and noaey without delay. The typographical appearance of the Rural Carolinian cannot be excelled. The publishers, Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell, have cer? tainly spared no pains or expense in procuring an outfit at once pleasing and attractive. It is pub? lished at Charleston on the first of every month. Price, Two Dollars per annum. t&* Judge Ohr went to Newberry on Monday last, and wi'l probably bold Court there for two weeks. On his return from that place, he will hold an extra term at Greenville for ?not her week, and then follows the regular terms for Ocoaee and: Pickens, which, added to the past four weeks at Greenville and this place, will make eleven weeks without, intermission upon the bench. MEITI1I? OF COTOTT eOMMISSIONi'SS, In accordance-with a resolution adopted by the County Commissioners of the several counties rep? resented'in July lost, an adjourned meeting was held in Columbia on Wednesday, the 6th day of October, at which sixteen counties were represen? ted. After an informal discussion, it was resolved to memorialize the Legislature to postpone the or? ganization of Townships, under the present law, for a period often years at least, and also to em? power the County Commissioners to appoint a sub commissioner for each township, whose duty it shall be to supervise the working of the roads un der a system eiroilar to the one heretofore existing in thisState. They likewise recommended tbatjury lists be made out by the sub-commissioner, subjeot to revision by the County Commissioners'. In brief, it is proposed to continue the present ar? rangements, whereby the County Commissioners will discbarge tho duties heretofore devolving up? on the District Boards, with the exception of free schools ; and in order to give them proper Assis? tance, the sub-commissioners vxare suggested, in lien of the large number of township officers. We think the action of the meeting is wise andpvoper, and trufit that the Legislature will give due atten? tion to its suggestions'. -;-o INTiDEESTIEO TO THE DISQUALIFIED. The Washington Republican, a quasi official or? gan of the Administration, announces that the Attorney-General of the United States has receiv? ed notice of an important decision which has re? cently been rendered by the Supreme Court of Louisiana. The decision is that when a person has taken an oath of office beTore the war to sup? port the Constitution of the United States, and during the war held an office in one of the "rebel? lious" S ales which required him to take an oath to support'the Confederated States, such a person cannot for this reason alone be said to have en? gaged in insurrection and rebellion against the United States, or given aid and comfort lo the enemies thereof, within the meaning of the third section of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Republican adds the following, which is Home indication that the decision is not unfavor? ably received at Washington: "This decision will be found very important, and of large scope in reducing and limiting dis? franchising clauses of the Constitution and acts of Congress." Under the Constitution of this State, such a decision would relieve a large number of able and experienced citizens, whose disabilities are alto? gether caused by the fact that they held-office du? ring the war. It would prove of great value to - ttic ?rate were this class alone relieved, and the people enabled to select from among them to fill many of the offices. Indeed, some of the staunch est Union men are thus disqualified, who are otherwise acceptable to their fellow-citizens, without dis? tinction of party. -*> "HE VrSGIHIA LEGISLATURE. The proceedings of this body, as furnished by telegraph to the daily papers, are quite interesting. ! The various matters properly before the Legisla? ture seem to have been settled in caucus by the i conservative members. The 14th and 15th Amend? ments to the Constitution of the United States were ratified by both House?, with a few dissenting votes in cither branch. The Governor's Message expresset the conviction that; the Legislature wonld ? ratify the Fifteenth Amendment voluntarily, and even if it was not a requisite to admission into the , Union. He also recommended the appointment at this- session of the Standing Committees, in view ' te'ins must be remodeled and placed in harmony with the ;iew Constitution; suggested that internal . Lroproven:eDts demand the gravest consideration, and expressed the opinion that the election of Sen? ators was clearly requisite to admission. In con? clusion, he says.- "Permit me to congratulate you upon the progress already made towards the res? toration it the State to civil government. Its good effect is already visible everywhere within the I State. Confidence is being restored, commence is reviving, mining and manufacturing enterprises are being organized, capital is seeking investment in our public improvements and in our rich agri? cultural and mineral lands, and above and more gratifying than all, joy and hope are taking the place of gloom and despondency?peace and pros? perity are once more dawning upon our desolate land. Conscious of the reciiaude of ourow* acts, motives and intentions*, and relying upon the con? tinued favor of the Almighty disposer of human events, let us all manfully grapple with the living present, and confidently hope for a glorious future for the Commonwealth." On Friday, an amendment was introduced in the House to (he bill passing the Fifteenth Amendment, making it take effect on and after the admission of the State into the Union, but the amendment only received five votes. A resolution was then offered, that in view of doubts expressed about the legality of this Legislature, it will re-enact the 14th and 15th Amendments after the admission to tho Union, which resolution was referred. On the same day, a similar resolution was presented in the Senate, and was pending when that body adjourned. The Legislatur ;, by joint resolution, adjourned on Fri? day until the 18th of October. The conservatives in caucus decided to go into the election of United States Senators ou Tuesday, the 19th inst. Otra Literature.?If our people knew the many good things every nonth published in the XIX ICtntmy; if they fully appreciated the fact that this Southern Mnguziue, with Ex-Gov. Perry, Wm. Gil more Sinims, It or. Dr. Hicks and others, for contributors, is equal to the best of Northern Monthlies; if tbey realized that it is in itself a "circulating library" of choice literature eheap at $8.50 a yettr, they would like ourselves welcome it to their homes and firesides. The Octobernum ber is before ns, full as usual of entertainment. Miss Annie M. Barnwell furnishes "The Bandits of the Hartz Mountains," a thrilling legend ; Dr. Simms continued his Reminiscences of Southern authors; ' Personne" gives us another chapter from "The early war"; Rev. John Bachman D. 3>. furnishes an interesting personal sketch of Hum? boldt, and ia the "Political Crisis", which is evi? dently from the pen of a statesman', is suggested the remedy for the present misfortunes of the South. There are many choice articles in prone and poetry besides, attractive to both young and old. The JIX Century may be had at the book stores. [ -, Chablestos Otstebs.?By reforenoe to an ad? vertisement in this issue it will be seen that an enterprising Cbarlcstooian has undertaken to put these delicious bivalves within the reach of the benighted people of the interior, and the fint class names to which he refers are a guarantee that he is all right.

Fort Benton, Montana Teeeitct, V September 13, 1869. y Editor Intelligencer-: Presuming that aJne-dr two from this far off Northwest will prov inter esting, I undertake to write them, knowir, jour charity is broad enough to coyer the manj errors likely to occur. I left you about April 1st. I left St Louis April 24th, on board the Btcamer "Nick Wall," which sank at a point about ten miles tbve Ne? braska Oity; re-embarked aboard the- learner "Sallie,J' and reached this port June JltS.1. Since my arrival here I have traveledjiovefya good portion of this Territory, and tave foundalv branches of industry and trade dully owing1 to fat great scarcity of water here this season. All oth? er interests here depend on the mining interest forsupport; without water it is not possible to mine. Hence, general stagnation. There are many fine valleys in Montana, capable of sup? porting a goodly population. I have visited the Gallatin Valley, said to be the finest 'n the Terri? tory, and found it to be beautiful, indeed. Al? ready a great many fine farms have been opened, a thriving city is being built, and for those seek? ing homesteads here, it is certainly the place. Helena is a city of six or eight thousand souls, built in the heart of the mines?is the metropolis of Montana?and will be the capital before long. Virginia City is the seat of government now, but votes and gold will ultimately give it to Helena. Politically, Montana is largely Democratic. At an election just holden they elected their delegate to Congress. Territorial officers, and generally their local officers. The appointment of Abes M. Ashloy as Governor of this Territory gives general dissatisfaction, the Radical press-b;Xhe contrary notwithstanding. e The North Pacific Railroad Commission pssed through here a few weeks ago, and assure! the citizens that the road would be built. Tbi: will give Montana a Railroad of her own?a thorough fare independent of the unreliable Missouri liver and the Union Pacific, which passes five lundred miles to the southward. Game is abundant here?Buffalo, Elk, AnUlopt, Deer, Wild Sheep, &c, can be seen in innumera? ble bands in almost any part of the Territory. The "noble red men" are very troublesome-this season, letting no opportunity to pillage and mur? der pass. This they can only do in small, un? protected settlements. I have said, in my own poor way, about all. I know of interest to you. If you give this a place in your paper, please send me a copy to this place. With many good wishes, I remain: truly yours, DAVID OWEN. DEATH OF EX-FBE8LDENT FIERCE. . The telegraph announces the death of Frank En Pierce, at Concord, New Hampshire, on Friday morning. He was the last survivor of the raceoi distinguished Presidents representing the school of Jetierson and of Jackson, as he was the hut survivor of the Presidents directly elected by the people, whose term of office has expired. Mr. Fiflmore and Mr. Johnson, it is true, are still liv? ing, but both of them reached the Presidency through death and not through election. General Pierce was born at Hillsborougb, New Hampshire, November 23,1804. After completing his preparatory studies, he entered Bowdoin Col? lege, Maine. After completing his collegiate course, he studied law with Judge Levi Woodbury. who was for many years a Judge of the Supreme Court, and had been previously Secretary of the Treasury, under Martin Van Buren. He hegar the practice of law in bis native town, but had nol been thus engaged for two years, when he wai elected a member of the State Legislature, y j^icl?-l>?-a^^-go-"U''U>d.Jfen.^'wt'?'oV,*>re*vjt?faiK'cr He was early distinguished for his intellectual capacity; and his social qualities soon made him a general favorite. In 1833, when but twenty nine years old, he was elected o Congress, and he was re-elected in 1835. In the House General Pierce did not distinguish himself as a debater, but was a firm and prominert adherent, to the principles of the Democratic party. In 1837 he was elected to the United States Senate, but after serving one term, he withdrew to devote himself to the practice of his profession. In 1846 he was offered by Mr. Polk the position of Attorney General or of Secretary of War, but he declined both offer:). In the same year he entered the vol? unteer military service of the United States as a private soldier, but was soon made a Brigadier General, and went to Mexico. During the war Iiis conduct was such as to merit and receive the offi? cial approval of General Scott. In 1850 he was elected President of the New Hampshire Constitu? tional Convention. In 1852 the Democratic Con? vention met at Baltimore for the purpose of nomi? nating candidates for the officeu of President mj Vice-President. The rivalries of the great leacbrs of the party ran so high that forty-five balbis were bad without any result. The Virginia dele? gation then asked leave to retire for consultation, and on their return cast the'vote of the Staie'foi Franklin Pierce, who on the forty-ninth ballot, wat nominated by the Convention for the presidency. The Whigs had nominated General Scott,- At the election before the people every State but four i voted for General Pierce, and in the electoral coi , lege he received two hundred and forty-four votes against forty-two cast for General Scott. When elected President, General Pierce was the youngest man who had ever held that position, and his term of office was a period of storm and strife. The cloud of ruin and of war, which after? wards borst, was then forming, but General Piercs served with ability, administered the Government with firmness, and retired at the close of his tern with a pure and unspotted name, the lave of a large portion of the people of the country, and the respect of even his enemies. Faults he-bad, but they were the faults ef a generous, strong willed man, and were the necessary accomp&in ments of virtues euch as his. Mistakes he made, but who could have occupied hts position at (bat time without doing the same. n, He was one of the last survivors of a race of public men too proud to do wrong, too pure to,t? corrupted, too noble to descend to such work asis now daily done by the men who hold the highest positions in the gift of ehe American people. May the day not be far distant when men as pure, a? able, as noble, and as good as Franklin Fierce shall again direct the destinies of America.?Char? leston Courier. ? t Me.
