Thursday Morning, January 13th, 1870. John T. Sloan, jr., is the regular author? ised agent in Columbia to solicit advertisements and procure subscriptions for the Intelligencer. -o W. H. K Todd is duly authorized to act as agent for the Anderson Intelligencer and the Rural Carolinian, cad will receipt for subscriptions to either-of these journals. jg?" We return our thanks to Hon. Horace Caprox, Commissioner of Agriculture, for a pam? phlet copy of the Report of his department for the months of November and December. -i?o--; Ugff The Laurensvilie Herald records the death of Mr. Thomas C. Wiikxs, formerly of Ander? son, but for many years a resident of Laurens. He died on the 4th inst. of apoplexy, at his resi? dence in that village. His numerous friends and acquaintances in this vicinity will sorrowfully irniUs La sympathy wilt the- bereaved family. _ We-are nr receipt of a note from Mr. J. W. Crawpobd, of Cold Spring, Picken? county, sta? ting that be baa received many letters requesting him to send the celebrated sweep plows which he has used so successfully. He does not make these plows, nor will the smiths make them for unknown parties. Persons desiring these plows can get them by-sending the money in advance either to Mr. Jakes Hdnter or Mr. Cyb?s Stephess, at Pendleton, both reliable and first-rate workmen. The January number of the Southern Cul? tivator has been received. It begins another year with bright prospects of increasing success, and the initial number gives evidence of still greater effort on the part of its editors to furnish the planting community with a sound, practical jour? nal, embracing the most varied and complete infor? mation concerning the farm, garden and household. We continue our arrangement with Us proprietors to club both journals at $4.00 per year, invariably in advaoc9? ' THE ACADESY OF MUSIC. It will be seen by an advertisement of the Man? ager, Mr. John T. Foed, that the eminent come? dian, Mr. James H. Hackett, will make his ap? pearance for a few nights at the Academy of Mu sio in Charleston, beginning on next Monday night. His representation of "Falstaff" is said to be the finest in the world, and lovers of the drama would be well repaid by a visit to Charles? ton during the coming week. The management is sparing neither pains nor expense to render the entertainments at this new and elegant temple worthy of extensive patronage, ?-?+-? TEE JTIHETEEHTH CENTURY. The January number of this magazine is an im? provement, in our humble judgment, upon former issues. Among the most noticeable articles is one from the pen of Judge Longstbett, reviewing Ex Gov. Pebbt's sketch of Mr. Calhotjs. We have read this review with a great deal of interest, and aside from the merits of the controversy between them, we think that the author of "Georgia Scenes" has completely vanquished the Ex-Governor in a literary point of view. Those who are not sub? scribers to the Niaeteenth Century^ should at once send in their names and money to Mr. G. W. Fant, ai the Post Office, who is the authorized agent, and who will be glad to serve customers regularly with single copies.' TSE PHOSPHATE BILL. The Legislature has taken no action, since the re-assembling of that body last week, on this im? portant measure. It is probable, from all that we can learn, that the opposition will prove effectual, and that the valuable river beds of phosphates will be so managed as to produce an extensive revenue to the State. At least, we are confident that the proposed monopoly will be a failure, and for once the Republican majority in the Legisla? ture will gain the approval of all good citizens by s wise and sensible course. In this connection, we desire to applaud the conduct of the Charles? ton Daily Republican, which has steadfastly refus? ed to becme an abettor in this huge monopoly, and on the contrary has dealt some of the heaviest blows against it which the scheme has received from any quarter. ESCAPED FEOM CUSTODY. A eonple of white youths- named Donaldson and a negro named Henry Aiken escaped from the Jail of this county on Sunday night last, and have not since been, heaid from, although parties went is immediate pursuit. Their escape was effected by filing aa iron bar and letting themselves down' to the ground by the assistance of blankets fasten? ed together. The white boys were confined on a charge of fogery, and the negro for petit larceny. 6ne of the whites is a deserter from the Federal army, and the other deserted at this place several years ago, for which he was duly punished. They are the yooths engaged in victimizing some of our merchants a few weeks ago by forged orders. We learn that a man by the name of Driver was committed to jail on Tuesday last, charged with stealing a trunk from Messrs. Bennett & Keese the day before. The trunk was recovered, and in endeavoring to make his escape, Drives appropriated to his use another man's horse, which Tsars also recovered in a short time. Oub Stock Quotations.?The great fluctuations and uncertainity of value attendant on the com? monest securities since the war make reliable and regular quotations of great value to the public. We are glad to announce, therefore, that we have made arrangements with Mr. A. C. Kawfman, of Char? leston, to furnish us with a weekly report of those securities most important to our readers. Mr. Kaufman's quotations of Southern securities ap? pear regularly in the Financial Chronicle and the WM Streu Journal, of New York, and the Char? leston Courier, three of the leading financial and commercial papers of this country, and may be de? pended on as strictly accurate for the day on which they are made. -o The Ehpobium or Fashion in Abbeville.?We observe that the copartnership heretofore existing between Fowj.kb & McDonald has been dissolved by its own limitation. The business will be con? tinued by our friend, James W. Fowler, whose endeavor will be to make his establishment com? pare with similar retail stores in the cities. In the spring, a dress and mantua making depart? ment will be added, which will be conducted by a lady of taste and skill, with efficient assistants. We bespeak a liberal share of patronage for our enterprising and worthy friend. ? A private letter from Hon. Alexander II. Stephens states that his health is not good. He is barely able to sit up, and not able to stand. The numerous friends of the great Georgian will receive this newt with regret. HOW A RADICAL CONGRESSMAN SPENDS HIS LEISURE MOMENTS. Tho peccadilloes of Radical officials ia this State have beea so often exposed as to render the subject almost threadbare. But occasionally we arc refreshed by instances of such sublime rascal? ity that it would be wrang not to allow tho public to eDjoy them. It will be remembered that while the "gold bill" was pending before Legislature, prior to the holidays, there was considerable com? ment as to the presence in Columbia of one Bo wen , member of Congress from this State, who was evi? dently exerting his influence over tho colored members to obtain the passage of this highly im? portant measure to the bondholders, which class it was thought Bowen represented. Well, -it mas? ters not for the purpose of this article whether he was thus engaged, to the neglect of his arduous duties in Congress, then in session. But we are I roliably informed that, during his leisure moments, Bowes was employed in franking envelopes for the dusky legislators at a farious rate. He would take bis seat by a sable brother, and during the conversation which ensued between them, Bowen would exhaust the supply of envelopes on the members table by writing thereon his official frank. After this was done, he ? ould move off to another "man and brother," and perform the same act of kindness with the utmost suavity, and so on through the list of colored gentlemen likely to remember the modest favor by giving Bowen his support in the next nominating convention. Will any decent Radical newspaper in the land defend such conduct? It is an unblushing fraud upon the government, perpetrated in open daylight, and without the flinsy pretence of aiding the Republi? can party. We'trust that the influential colored men who have already declared war against Bow? en will contiuuethcir assaults upon him, and seek to oust such a disreputable character from the exal? ted position now prostitatcd to his owa base uses. -? THE DEAD 07 I860. The lengthy list of illustrious persons who died during the year just closed is quite remarkable. Among the prominent public men of the United States, we observe the following: John Minor Bolts, formerly member of Congress from Virginia, and a noted Whig politician, died January 8th, 1860; also, Qen. Lovell H. Rous? seau, of Kentucky, who served in Congress and as a Federal officer during the late war. January 25th, Francis W. Pickens, of South Carolina, Minister to Russia under Buchanan's administration, r.nd afterwards Governor of this State. March 14th, Gen. James Guthrie, of Kentucky, Secretary of the Treasury under Pierce and after? wards United States Senator. March 27th, James Harper, a member of the well-known publishing firm in New York, and once Mayor of that city. July SOtb, Hon. Isaac Toucey, of Connecticut, Secretary of the Navy under Buchanan. September Cth, Gen. John A. Rawlins, of Illi? nois, Secretary of War at the time of his death. September 8th, Hon. Wm. Pitt Fessenden, of Maine, United States Senator. September 10th, Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, formerly U. S. Senator, and a candidate for tho Presidency in 1860. October 8th, Franklin Pierce, of New Hamp? shire, Ex-President of the United States. November 4th, George Pcabody, of Massachu? setts, the eminent philanthropist. November 7th, Admiral Charles Stewart, known as "Old Ironsides," of the U. S. Navy. November 10th, Gen. JohnE. Wool, distinguish? ed for his services in the Mexican war. November 11th, Hon. Robert J. Walke*, Secre? tary of the Treasury under Polk, and one of the ablest financial writers in the Union. November 12th, Hon. Amos Kendall, Posmastci: General under Jackson, and one of the most noted politicians of that day and. time. November 21st, Hon. Benjamin Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, formerly Governor of that State and member of the United States Senate. December 21st, Hon. Edwin M. St an ton, of Pennsylvania, Secretary of War from 1862 to 1867. Enforcement or the Civil Rights Bill.?If , seems that the law passed by the Legislature ot ' this State, approved February 18th, 1860, entitled "An net to enforce the provisions of the Civil ? Rights Bill of the United States Congress," i* about to be tested in Charleston. A colored man, for whom a ticket had been bought by a white maa, applied for admission to the dress circle of the Academy of Music, and was refused admission by Manager John T. Ford, of Baltimore, the lessee. Another colored man applied for admission to the reserved seats, and was likewise refused. Where? upon warrants were issued, upon affidavits by the two colored men, and Mr. Ford was arrested for violating the law referred to, and gavo bond for his appearance at the next term of Court. The Act of the Legislature specifies that if any party engaged in any business, calling or pursuit for which a license is required, and for which he made lawful application, discriminates on account or race, color or previous condition he is liable to o fine of not less than $200, or less than six months: imprisonment. The case is an interesting one and we shall await its termination with anxiety to know whether or not this law will stand the tcsi. of legal scrutiny, and be allowed to restrain indi? viduals in the conduct of their business. Dowie, Moisr. & Davis.?With the new year, wo observe that the well known Drug House in Char ? leston of Dowie & Moise has changed the style of its firm as above, and has gained a considerable accession in the person of Mr. Wm. C. Davis, formerly of this place, whose numerous friends will be gratified to hear tff his promotion. We are well acquainted with all the members of this firm, and can conscientiously recommend theft for en? terprise and liberal dealing. Their business has been steadily increasing, and their house now ranks amongst the foremost among the list of hon? orable merchants in the "good city by the sea." In referring to the change, the Courier says: "Mr. Davis has been conuectcd with the house for sev? eral years, and hiu many friends in all parts of South Carolina, as well as in adjoining States, will be pleased to learn of this change in his fortunes. We know Mr. D. well, and can therefore say that while we are glad to see him ocoupy his new posi? tion, we know that he cannot work with moro zeal for his house than he has done hitherto." _In his message to the Pennsylvania Legisla? ture, Gov. Geary favors the recognition of Cubau independence, and advocates the policy of expan? ding the currency by esfablisbing National Banks where none now exist. The State receipts last year were not quite five and a quarter millions, and the expenditures nearly five millions. The State debt amounts to $32,814,000. ? G. E. Elford, Esq., has resumed the publica? tion of tho Greenville Mountaineer, and begins with an encouraging prospect of success. ? Mrs. Eliza J. Baker, daughter of Chief Jus? tice Moses, died ia Sumtcr recently. THE LABOE QUESTION. The following joint resolution concerning the appointment of agents to supervise the making of j contracts with laborers has been introduced into the Legislature of this State, and referred to the Committee on Labor: Be it Resolved, By the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, That the Governor be, and he is hereby, authorized and empowered, immedi? ately after the passnge of this resolution, to ap? point Contraot Agents or Supervisors for each county of the State, whose duty it shall be to fur? nish all persous wishing to contract with proper forms, showing clearly the obligations of employ? ers and employees. That tho Agent or Supervisor shall keep an office at the county seat of each county, where shall be recorded a copy of each contract made, and the names of all parties to the same ; to hear and ex? amine all disagreements, and, as umpire, award justice to the aggrieved party, except in such cases which require legal interference through the Courts. The contracts shall be in triplicate form, the employer and the employee holding one each; and the third shall bo filed and recorded in the office of the Agent or Supervisor for the county, each copy receiving the signature and seal of the Agent to validate it, for which duty he shall recieve a-fee of fifty (50) cents from each party contracting, and furnish necessary papers. All contracts for the year 1870 must be recorded as set forth above, and be subjected to the same rule of approval and record, though made, signed and entered upon. The Agent or Supervisor shall enter into re? cognizance, for the faithful performance of his duties, in a bond of not more than ?2,000, or less than SI.000, and hold his office for two years, un? less superseded for negligence or misconduct. THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD: Mr. Doyle, of Oconee county, offered the fol? lowing joint resolution in the House of Represen? tatives on Monday last. It was referred to a special committee of seven from the House and three from the Senate: Whereas the building of the Blue Ridge Rail? road has been a favorite enterprise of the people of South Carolina for twenty years, and the pres? ent General Assembly has sustained it, with nn approximation to unanimity unsurpassed in the annals of legislation on a subject involving such grave considerations; and whereas the manage? ment of the affairs of said road have been such as to elicit much inquiry, and to reflect on both the Legislature and those who manage the affairs of j said enterprise ; therefore, be it Resolved, by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, That a committee, to consist of j three members of the House, and two of the Sen? ate, be appointed, with full power to send jfor per? sons and papers, to investigate every transaction had since the re-organization of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, with instructions to report the result of their investigation at least ten days bo fore the adjournment of the present session. Or/a Duty.?Aother year is upon us, snd, be? fore its close, we will have another general elec? tion. Slate officers, members of the Legislature and Congressmen arc to be elected by us in Octo? ber next. It is of vital moment to the best interests of our State that the present incumbents be defeated, and good men elected in their stead. This is practica? ble, if we will simply do two things, which wis? dom demands : 1. Be united. He who prefers a man or set of men to the success of the party opposed to official dishonesty, is not true. He may boast that he is not fettered by party nominations, but when he pursues a course which must end in the defeat of good men, he is himself not a patriot and not to be trusted. 2. We must be practicable. Tbc fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States have settled many things?the first is passed and the second will be. We must read the changes wrought by thsse amendments. Ques? tions which divided the two great political parties of the country two years ago would appear ridicu? lous if lugged into political canvass now. They are settled against us. Congressional reconstruc? tion and negro suffrage are issues of the past, quite as much as the Louisiana purchase and the Mexican war. If we do not so regard them, we are impracticable, unwise, and destined to defeat. Victory is in our hands, if wo will only grasp it. Our platform is one upon which white and black may unite and join hands. It is "opposition to official dishonesty." We want no other plank. Upon this, we would nominate good men, and they would be elected. We beg our readers to think over these things, and begin to prepare themselves. By July, we ought to have our candidates in the field, without division. Soon, aye, very soon, we should commence the work of organization. Let men begin to think of clubs: and let clubs be as brief in their resolutions as possible. Let them, above all things, be wise, and careful not to waste their strength in tilting against wind-mills.? Union Times. Fob tue Fabm, Garden, and Household.?We can con finden tly recommend all our readers to promptly provide themselves with tho American Ayriculturist for 1870. We have received the first number of the 29th annual volume, and find it filled with a large amount of exceedingly practi? cal useful information, not only on every subject pertaining to soil culture, including the garden, the lawn, and fllower bed, and the care of the lit? tle plots of the city and village homestead, but al? so for the housekeeper, and the children. Many excellent engravings, both beautiful and instruc? tive, give additional interest to every number. Taken altogether, the American Agriculturist is one of the most beautiful and valuable journals in the world, adapted equally to city, village, and coun? try, while it is a marvel of cheapness owing to its unprecedented circulation, which divides the cost of preparation among so many, that a great deal can be given to each. Terms, $1.50 a year; four copies $5, or ten copies for $12. It is richly worth all it costs and more. Orange Judd & Co., Pub? lishers, 2-15 Broadway, New York. ?

J. J. MATTISON, Adm'r. Jan 13, 1870 2'J 4* ) ?t?tuarj. DEPARTED this life, on the 25th' day of De? cember, 1869, at his residence in this Town, Mr. MILFORD BTJRRISS, in the 55th year of his age. The sadness produced by the death of this es? teemed and useful citizen will long be felt by many hearts. In no case, perhaps, has death come more unexpectedly, or more forcibly sug? gested to our minds the solemn declaration of our Lord,?"Therefore, be ye also ready, for in suoh an hour as you think not the Son of Man comcth." No man within the range of our knowledge seem? ed to possess in a higher degree tho elements of a physical constitution which would encourage the hope of a long life, than did our departed friend. Suddenly, however, and to the astonishment of all, were these hopes crushed by the fatal stroke which told but too plainly that his days upon earth were numbered, being deprived of the pow? er of speech, ns well as in part the use of his limbs. He remained speechless and helpless for & few days after the shock, and then passed into the spirit world. It is not, however, alone the suddenness with which he was called away which fills our hearts with sadness, but also the loss which we have sustained. Industry and perse? verance in his chosen pursuits were strikingly characteristic of him from early life. To these he attributed, under God's blessing, the practical knowledge and means which he had acquired, and by which he could be useful to thoso around him. But it is in another and more sacred relation that his loss is more keenly felt. As a husband he was devoted and kind ; as a father, affectionate, tender and indulgent, ever ready to consult the interests and happiness of those thus committed to him ; as a friend, he was ardent and confiding ; but while our hearts are filled with sadness at the loss which we have sustained in these respects, "wc sorrow not as those without hope." Several years ago he made profession of religion and united with tho Anderson Baptist Church. Subsequent? ly he removed his membership to a church in the country, where it remained until about three years ago, when his wife and two daughters joined the Anderson Church. He then brought his mem? bership again to the Church of which he was first a member, where it remained until he was re? moved, as we trust, to the Church triumphant, where there is no more sickness, pain or death, "and there is no night there, and they need no candle, for the Lord God is the light of the City;" and there is no more weeping, for God shall wipe the tears from all faces, "and they shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more." "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep* From which none ever wakes to weep ; A culm and undisturbed ropose, Unbroken by the last of foes." W. D. B. Bibles and Testaments!

Jan 13, 1870_ 29 - _ 8m ETIWAN GUANOS, SOLUBDE MANURES, and SULPHURIC ACID, MANUFACTURED AT CHARLESTON, under the direction of DR. N. A. PRATT, Chemist for the Sal phutic Acid and Super-Phosphate Company. Soluble Phosphoric Acid, in the form of Soluble Phosphate of Lime, or Dissolved Bone Phosphate, is the basis of all good Fertilizers, and these are valuable in the ratio of Soluble Phosphoric Acid which is in them. The immense deposits of Phosphatic Guanos which were discovered in 1867 in South Carolina, by Dr. Pratt, consists mainly of Insoluble Phosphate of Lime, which is mode available as a Fer? tilizer by being ground to powder, and reduced by Sulphuric Acid to such a condition as to make its insoluble phosphate soluble in water, and thus made capable of being taken up by growing plants. The insoluble Phosphate found in any commercial Fertilizer is of no more value to the plant than tho original Phosphate rock. The greater the proportion of this Soluble Phosphate which any Fertilizer contains, the less the quantity required per acre, and consequently the cheapest Fertilizer is that containing the highest per centage of Soluble Phosphate. Impressed with these truths, the Sulphuric Acid and Super-Phosphute Company have erected at Charleston the first extensive Acid Chambers South of Baltimore, and are able to offer to plan* ters the highest per centage of Soluble Phosphate of'Lime known in any market. Their Fertilizers are offered under two forms : 1. ETIWAN, NO. 1.?Pure Soluble Phosphate, guaranteed to contain 24 per cent of Dissolved Bone Phosphate of Lime, $60 per ton, 10 percent, discount for cash. 2. ETIWAN, NO. 2.?Peruvian Superphosphate, guaranteed to contain 20 per cent, of Dissolved Bone Phosphate, and 1} to 3 per cent of Ammonia, with a sufficient addition of Peruvian Guano to adapt it to all crops, $70 per ton, 10 per cent, discount for cash. We also offer Dissolved Bone, of high grade, for planters or manufacturers, who may desire to mix into any other compost, and we suggest that this is the best and cheapest method for manufac? turers to transport the Sulphuric Acid contained in the mixture. Will be sold at a fixed rate for each per centage. WM. C. BEE ?& CO., Agents, No.14 Adder's Wharf, Charleston, S. C. 15. IT. Crayton Sc Sons, Agents at Anderson.
