JUdcrsnju ptcUujenter. Thursday Morning, October 21st, 1969. 8S5T The sales of real estate advertised in this paper deserve a careful perusal fior:.all \?no de? sire to invest their surplus capital. J@* Our Columbia, advertisers will receive at? tention next week. Also, the merchants of thi? place who have favored us with thei.* advertise? ments will be nemenibered. LOUISVILLE COMMERCIAL CONVENTION. This body adjourned on last Saturday, after a session of five days. Ex-President Millard Fill - more pressed. The proceeding* as furnished by tolegraph are quite meagre, and. we cannot pre? sent a summary in this issue.- The Convention ?will'mect in Cincinnati next October. GEORGIA HOME INSURANCE COMPANY.. We invite attention to the advertisement of this Company, in our present issue. It is represented by the Georgia newspapers as perfectly sound and reliable, and we beb'eve that the rates are quite reasonable. Mr. A. B. Towers is the agent for this place and surrounding country, and will lake pleasure in attending promptly to all applications. -<p THE NORTHERN ELECTIONS. The result of the recent elections- in Ohio and Pennsylvania is another triumph for the Radical party. Geary's majority in Pennsylvania is about 5,000, while Pendleton is defeated in Ohio by at least 10,000 votes. Of course, there is a falling off in both parties in either State, but we are in? clined to think that the Democrats came nearer voting their strength than their opponents. THE GREENVILLE ENTERPRISE:. We are glad to note the enlargement of this val? uable journal, and also to learn that its circulation is constantly incieasing. Being the only paper published in Greenville, and edited' with ability and sagacity, it will prove successful beyond a doubt: We congratulate the proprietor, Mr. John C. Bailey, and wish for him an unending tide of prosperity. -4P THE NEW SECRETARY OF WAS. The President has appointed Gen. Wm. M. Bklk.nap, of Iowa, as-Secretary of War, and the position has been accepted. Gen. Sherman, who accepted.the portfolio with reluctance, and only to accommodate the President, will retire upon,she arrival of his successor at Washington. Gen. Belknap is only thirty-eight'years old, a graduate of Priuoeton College, New Jersey, and a lawyer I Uy profession. He served in the Federal army from the beginning to the end of the late civil war, in-the capacity of aide-de-camp to Gen. Sherman. We are not advised as to his political views, but presume that he is a moderate Republican, as Grant surely has enough to contend with in the way of extremists, and will not likely make another selection of that character. EMPORIUM OF FASHION. It is with pleasure that we invite attention to the attractive advertisement of our friends, Messrs. Fowler & McDonald, of Abbeville. We are as? sured that they have now on exhibition the lar? gest and truest assortment of Millinery goods in the up country, and will sell them at astonishingly low prices. Mrs. John A. Wier will give particu? lar attention to any orders from this section of the State, and her acknowledged taste and judgment | 35 a guarantee that satisfaction will be rendered. ] We would suggest to the ladies and citizens gen? erally that a rare opportunity will be afforded to inspect this handsome stock by vh.icing Abbeville during the Agricultural Fair, whicn cornea off on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of November next.. It would be "killing two birds with a single stone"?be? sides an examination of the goods- referred to,, the Fair, will amply repay a visit, for old Abbe? ville-is wide-awake in i.his matter, and will, make s> creditable exhibition of her skill and resources. I THE SOUTHERN HISTORICAL SOCIETY. This body has made its first contribution to his? tory in the form of a statement of the losses in? curred by the Confederate army during the war from 1801 to 1805. This statement is embodied in a correspondence between the able and efficient secretary of the Society and Gen.. S. Coopkb,. formerly Adjutant General of the Confederate States. We publish this correspondence to-day, and deem it worthy of preservation, as it is calcu? lated to shed much valuable light upon the sub? ject discussed. There is perhaps no. man living, says the Louis rille Courier-Journal, who had bet? ter sources of information than Gen. Cooper, and his mentioning the probable whereabouts of the eaptured archives at the War Department of the Confederate States may likely produce them. His suggestion that they should be published as a mat . ter of history is timely. As the Society proceeds in collecting and publishing the valuable data which will come into their hands, many events mow shrouded in mystery will be placed is a much better light. -4P HON. JEFFERSON DAVIS. We announced the arrival of this distinguished gentleman in our last issue. He has probably reached Charleston ere this, and will proceed at once to Mississippi. He has partially recovered his health, but expresses an earnest desire for quiet and freedom from the excitement of public affairs in the future. In these expressions he docs not intimate any expectation of personal interest in the politics of the day. He fears, nevertheless, that some of the local politicians in Mississippi will attempt to advise with him. and announces that be will repel all suoh attempts without regard to the probable- consequence of unfrieudly criti? cism from hi? old, fr;end,s. He studiously avoids all discussion of the- present politic*! situation, and when referring to it, expressed a hope that the liberal Conservative Republicans of the Smith and Democrats in the North would succeed in the pending campaigns. Referring to party name*, Mr. Davis is reported to have said that the Demo? crats of the Nor h represent what is left of the principle of self-government, while the Conserva? tive Republicans of the South represent all that is left of the same principle to the people of this section. Finally his friends report him to be in fiivor of ilie election of Judge DlNT as Governor of Mississippi. The foregoing embraces the result of an inter? view with Mr. Davis, as reported by a correspon? dent. If this be correct, his views are mild and conservative, and his future will realize (lie hope entertained by ua, that his example as a good citizen will produce favorable result? for the coun? try. --4? ?

' LETTER FROST JUDGE ALDRICE ON THE PO? LITICAL SITUATION. The Charleston Courier of last Saturday con? tains a lengthy epistle fro^'. the Hon. A. P. Al dbich, of Barnwel', on the political situation. It would afford us great pleasure to give tbe entire letter a place in these colonias, as the prominent positions heretofore occupied by the writer entitle his views to consideration, but we are compelled to insert only a couple of paragrphs. These, how? ever, contain the pith- of his argument, and we do him no injustice in separating them from the main portion of his letter. Here are the extracts : I have been preaching patience and principle ever since the war. A great political party, flush? ed with victory and bloated with spoils, cannot be driven from office in a day; one defeat in such an effort is not disheartening; if the party of the Constitution makes a good fight and bears its ban? ner aloft bravely, every day will bring fresh ad? herents to the oau8e of truth, and- every blunder made by the party in power, weakens its hold on> the public confidence. I believe U is Bulwer who says, "tbe shortest road to liberty is through at? tenuated pockets;" the great West is learning this road. The partial legislation in favor of the bond? holder and manufacturer?the enormous taxation under which tbe energies of the country are being prostrated, the greatest the world has ever seen, the wholesale robbery of the people's money by corrupt and thieving officials, the prostration of trade, the ruin of commerce, the overwhelming debt?all these are attenuating the pockets of the people, and turning, their ^are to- the only road that can lead them out of this maze of corruption and ruin. At the risk of exciting your smile of incredulity again, I repeat that I have faith in the virtue and intelligence of the people: They do not reason ; they feel. Liberty is the birthright of those who have descended, from our revolution? ary ancestors-; it is the hope, the dearest hope of the emigrant and his children.' Tbe children of the one, and the children of the other, have both been educated in tbe idea that this is the land of liberty and Constitutional Government, and when they find that liberty has been taken from them, they will have it back, either through the ballot box or the cartridge box. I hope the former. I fear the latter. Ah, me! I am weary, sick at heart of this un? rest. We cannot precipitate events. Why not be patient? The rule under which we live in the United States must last until '72. We cannot help it. We cannot change it. What then ? En uube. Work to better our fortunes. Work to better our political condition. God has given us a genial clime, a generous soil, and if we exercise our intelligence to improve these gifts, we will be in a condition to exert-a controlling influence at the next elections, both State and Federal. These carpet-baggers and recreant Southerners are fast running their race. The former came here to at sal; tbe latter have joined with them to share their spoiliations. Their dupe, the negro, is find? ing out that he has been cheated by both. He is also discovering that his old master, the landed proprietor, the gentleman, is his best friend, be? cause he is honest, just and intelligent. The great mistake these people have made is in supposing ''that the negro did not distinguish between a gen? tleman, and a Radical, and a scallawag. They knew tie difference all along, but with the cun? ning of the race have used these carpet-baggers and scallawag s to secure their privileges, which they feared might be in danger. Realizing now that slavery is dead, that there is no danger from that, they will naturally come back to the class they respect, and who will not cheat them. Why ? Because these men are landed proprietors, and will give them work and the means of support between elections. At the next State election if we are wise and prudent, we can control the Legislature and etop tbe ruinous taxation now sapping the life of tbe State. At the next Presidential elec? tion, if we do not elect the President, we can at least elect enough Democrats to hinder the schemes of plunder that impoverish the land. This is no speculation?thieving, extravagance, debt, interest, excessive taxation, will wear out the patience of any people. Some branch of busi? ness will collapse, and then comes the and. But do let us wait. And while we wait, plant corn, rice, cotton, sugar, tobacco, and get all the money we can, to tide us over the reign of financial famine that will follow. Conciliate the negro, our best .laborer, and teach him that his best interest is to co-operate with the man who owns the land, and ean tend the soil intelligently and profitably. Much of this advice is sound and sensible, and does credit to its author. Patience and endu? rance, coupled with adherence to principle, will eventually bring order out of chaos, and restore to the people of the South their liberties. But in this State there is a practical question constantly looming up before the eyes of its inhabitants. The dominant party has the confidence of the ne? gro, and that class of population embraces a nu? merical majority of the voters. In order to turn the tide, and check the ruinous taxation imposed ? by the existing powers, it is necessary that at least 15,000 negro voters should unite with the white people in overthrowing the Radical party. Judge Aldricu says that "at the next State elec? tion, if we are wise and prudent, we can control the Legislature;" but he does not point out the wisdom and prudence which is necessary. He says further that we must "conciliate the negro," but the means to.be employed in this work is not suggested. Unless our publio men are prepared to indicate the course for the Democratic party in this Stale to pursue, they had better not rush into print, for the masses want no abstractions nor vague declarations. The supreme necessity of the hour is to devise plans whereby the State will be wrenched from the grasp of adventurous plun? derers. If this ean be done without sacrifice of principle, there will be no trouble to. marshal the hosts ef Democracy under a vietoiious banner in tbe next campaign. For Borne time pastr the newspapers ef this State have been discussing tbis identical question. We have taken no part in it, for the simple reason that its solution did not seem to us practicable at the present moment. Besides, other issues might arise iw the future, and there is ample time to con? sider them all. But in regard to the conciliatory policy proposed by Judge Atomen, we have a word to say. We do not wish to "conciliate the negro," but rather to teach him by public declara? tions and private acts thai, we will do him ample and exact justice, recognizing his rights under the law, and pledging the Democratic party not to in? terfere with those rights. If such conduct on our part begets confidence, it will be of permanent growth, and the negro will appreciate the oft-re? peated declaration "that his best interest is to co? operate with the mnn who owns the land." With? out a distinct and settled policy, based upon prin? ciple and common sense, we must not expect the colored voters of this State to forsake the leader? ship of cavpet-baggers and recreant Southerners. Through these instrumentalities they have secured extensive privileges under the law, and it is not reasonable to suppose that they will throw off their allegiance to the Radical party unless they feel perfectly safe in every respect thot their present I advantages will not be lessened. This is substan? tially the ground occupied in other Southern ! States, but as yet we have seen no indications that the leaders of the Democratic party in this State intend to grasp the situation in all of its bearings. Thk Carolina Fahuhk.?Tho October number of this valuable work is on our table, filled with : articles of interest and profit to the/braar. This number closes the first volume, aud is the last of the monthly series. t)u the fourth of November the first number of the Weekly will appear; and in its new form it will no doubt prove much mor? acceptable to its many readers. It will con? tain eight pages of five columns each ; and in ad? dition to a largely-increased amount of agricultu? ral matter, will give miscellaneous, family reading, market reports and the general news of the day.

The Edgefield Advertiser states that "a mur? der was committed in the vicinity of the Rocky Ponds, on the western side of our county, on Sat? urday night last, in the shooting and killing of a colored man by the name of John Landrus, and his wife Louisa, both of whom were found lying dead on the floor of their house o& Saturday morning. No clue has been received up to this, time (Tuesday morning) as to who were the per? petrators of this atrocious crime. La&dras, only a few dtiys previous to his death, was paid by his employtr some forty or fifty dollars, and it has been intimated that this murder was committed with tho view of obtaining the money which he was known to have in his possession." -o For the Anderson Intelhgeneer.

In the course of an elaborate article reviewing the condition and prospects of the fall trade, the New York Tribune says: The key-note of the present commercial situa? tion in the great metropolis is exactly struck by the significant remark of a leading wholesale jew? eller in Maiden lane: "The Southern trade has been the salvation of New York this fall ?" and certainly the extraordinary increase of Southern business in New York markets has given the fall trade of 1869 a volume and a soundness unparal? leled since the war. Some observers have ventured to speak of the trade with the South as trebled since 1868, but this is unquestionably an exagger? ation; although in many branches, and enpecially in boots and shoes, groceries, jewelry, clothing and dry goods, moderate estimates place the advance at from 25 to 75 per cent., with a prospect, in nu? merous instances, of a continued and heavy late trade, which will probably bring the aggregate Southern business of the season up to twice the amount of last year. This indicates a most pros? perous and encouraging state of affairs in the re? gion lately devastated by the rude hand of war, and a brief review of the course of Southern trade since the close of the rebelion wiil show that New York dealers are justified in taking a rose-colored view of the situation. In the fall of 1865, the South was so destitute of supplies that every one engaged in merchandizing made money with a ra? pidity that enticed many inexperienced men into attempting a mercantile life. In 1866, these ex planters, professional men, Northern speculators and other novices bought heavy stocks upon small capital, and flooded the South with more goods than could be retailed at profitable rates. As a necessary consequence, many of this class of deal? ers were compelled to sell out at any price, and quit a business they did not understand. In 1867, their successors bought boldly in September and October upon the strength of the good cotton crop of that year, but the sudden fall of 60 or 70 per cent, in the price of the great staple later in the season upset all their calculations and entailed a second year of commercial misfortune upon the South. In 1868 another good cotton crop was gathered, and of this the Southorn people realized the profits, instead of the speculators who had car? ried off the lion's share the year before. Disaster had taught prudence and compelled economy, and returning good fortune enabled the Southerners to re-establish themselves on a sound and comforta? ble footing. And now comes the cotton crop of 1869 to swell this tide of prosperity, to insure plenty, and even luxury, at the South; to fill the coffers of the merchants of Manhattan, and to spread its beneficial influence throughout tho civ? ilized world. In no country but the South, and with no crop but cotton, can three hundred mil? lions of wealth be so easily created in a twelve? month out of the soil. And while this holds true, the Southern trade must continue the mainstay of mercantile prosperity in New York. Not only does the cotton crop this year famish a br. a I and satis? factory basis for Southern trade, but the business almost universally in good and experienced hands, old merchants who traded here before the war having taken advantage of the bankrupt law, accumulated sufficient, capital for a business ven? ture, and made (heir appearance in New York this fall in unusual numbers. Caution is also mani? fested against overstocking (a fault to which South? ern dealers are especially prone,) the increase in the volume of trade being due to the greater num? ber of buyers, rather than to the purchase of heavier invoices. Few favors are asked in the way of credit, many dealers paying cash, and tha others giving very satisfactory papers. In all re? spects the Southern trade this fall is excellent, but the same cannot be said of trade with the West.? In New England trade no change is observed, and in New York and Pennsylvania a visible improve? ment is noted in some instances; but in the West a degree of embarrassment prevails which delays business, binders collections and makes cautious merchants chary of selling largely except for cash. Recent letters from Michigan, Wisconsin and Min? nesota corroborate this statement, and attribute the evil mainly to the action of the farmers in holding back last year's produce for a rise. Money is in extreme demand for moving the crops, and business, which has, moreover, been decidedly overdone in many localities, feels the pressure keenly. The contrast between the shrewd but sometimes overreaching Westerner, and the liberal, but perhaps prodigal Southron, is elearly seen and felt in this stale of affairs. The latter puts his crop in the market before it is gathered, and begins distributing its proceeds before the first bale is packed. The former holds the pro? duce of his land with a firm clutch, and would rather embarrass himself and all his neighbors than run the risk of losing a possible profit. Either course may result in disaster to the agricul? turist, but the Southern style oils the wheels, while the Western plan claps down the brakes of trade ; and now that the South, of old the favorite market of New York, has commenced anew a prosperous career, it needs no wizard to reveal the commer? cial quarter for which shrewd merchants will hereafter steer their course and trim their sails.
