%uhmn |uM%ettfM. Thursday Horning, February 3rd, 1870. John T. Sie??, jr., is the Tegular author? ized agent in Colombia to solicit advertisements and procure subscriptions for the- intelligencer. -<q> Jgjg- W. H. B. Toud is- duly authorised to act as agent for the Anderson Intelligencer and the Rural Carolinian, and will receipi foe subscriptions to either of these journals. -o THH STATS AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. A meeting of the Executive Committee- of the State Agricultural Society was held in Columbia last week. A premium list of 57,000. was arrang? ed for the nest Annual Fair, and will be published in a few days. Last year the premium, list amoun? ted to only $4,000. We are glad to notice that the Society is going forward in the ,;ood work it has undertaken, and we trust that the people of this section will be fully represented ia the exhi? bition nest fall. A. DOUBLE PRESENT OF INTRINSIC VALUE. The proprietors of the Intelligencer are placed under many obligations to Messrs. Bennett & Kzesg for a valuable present to each of them, in the shape of a sack of extra Family Flour, which is pronounced by the "better-halves" of this es? tablishment to be really superior in every respect. The liberal donors have in store a large quantity of Flour, which they are selling at reduced rates. We advise consumers to give them a call, and ex amine their qualities and prices, as they are de taxmined not to be undersold <n this market. Be? sides this important article of home consumption, these gentlemen have a large and varied assort? ment of merchandize, which they assure us will be sold at the lowest figures. Remember their stand,, at the Southwest corner of Brick Range. - ? SENTENCE DAY. The Sessions business of the Circuit Court was concluded on Thursday last, when Judge Oaa pro? nounced the following sentences: Wm. L. Davij, convicted of assault and battery, fined $25 and costs of prosecution. Wm. M. Davenport, convicted of malicious tres? pass, fined $10 and imprisoned three months? the imprisonment to terminate at the expiration of ten days, upon the defendant paying aa addi? tional fine of $50 and costs. Willingtor. Harbert, convicted of larceny, and sent to the Penitentiary for one year at hard la? bor. James M. Driver, petit larceny, one year's ser? vice in the Penitentiary. Samuel Green, (colored,) petit larceny, six months in the Penitentiary at hard labor. Charlotte Cherry, (colored,) petit larceny, sent to the common jail for three months, and to be kept at work by the jailor. Lafayette Morrison, convicted of petit larceny, failed to appear on Thursday, and a sealed sen? tence was left for him; but he made his appear? ance on Friday mwnixg, when the Judge ordered him to be sent to the Penitentiary for one year. THE DAILY SOUTHERN GUARDIAN. We take great pleasure in announcing the re? sumption of this newspaper. For u long time, it was the favorite, of the up-country, and we are confident that its popularity will soon be regained, Mr. Pelham has made several efforts since the war to revive the Guardian, which was destroyed at the- great conflagration in 1865, and we know that its coming has been anxiously expected by many of its old friends ;n this section. Now that these expectations have been fulfilled, they are ready to flock around its standard, and aid to sus? tain a worthy representative of our people. What memories cluster around the name for us ! In the bivouac, on the march, and when the din of bat? tle was scarcely over, the writer of this paragraph sought to entertain the readers of the Guardian with pictures of army life. As an occasional cor? respondent, our pseudonym was familiar to its patrons, and they cannot wonder that we feel an abiding interest in its welfare at this time. We will be glad to forward subscriptions for daily or tri-weekly. Terms: Daily, ono year, $8.00 ; six months, $4.00. Tri-weekly, one year, $5.00 ; six months, $2.50. Published at Columbia by Wm. H. McCaw & Co., and edited by C. P. Pelham, Esq., its former editor and proprietor. Beicr Mention.?The sale of Maj. Jokes'prop? erty, advertised to take place at Pendle ton the 25th of January, has been unavoidably postponed to Wednesday next, 9th inst. A portion of the personal property of Maj. James Gilmek, deceased, will be sold at his late residence near Roberts' Church on the 14th inst. Among the articles to be offered for sale, we ob? serve that there is a set of Surveyor's instruments, of superior finish. We are under obligations to Dr. John Wilson, one of the Representatives from this county, for recent Legislative favors. A society for the "prevention of tobaceo-spit iing" in churches is about to be organized in New York. We recommend n similar organization in this town. DeLarge, (colored,) the acknowledged leader of ] the House of Representatives, in a course of bit? ter iavective toward the honorable President of I the 8enate, D. T. Cobbin, referred to him as "that infamous man, too low for heaven and too mean for hell.'' We have received the proceedings of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanioal 8ociety, at the annual meeting in November last, embracing valuable reports of committees, &c. It is thought that the Court will continue in session the greater portion of next week, although the Judge, lawyers and officers are diligently pur? suing the way to the end of the dockets. The liberal sad enterprising firm of Bennett k Kesse. with other generous advertisers, have oc? cupied so much space ia this issue as to exclude the usual quantity oi* reading matter on this page. But if our subscribers will not complain, we promise to submit cheerfully. - From the Edgefield Advertiser. At a meeting of the Members of the Bar of Edgefield, on Wednesday the 19th inst., Gov. M. L. Bonuah presiding, the following Resolution was offered by John E. Bacon, Esq., and unani? mously adopted by the meeting: Resolved, That the thanks of the Edgefield Bar are eminently due and are hereby tendered to His Honor, Judge Obb, for holding the present Ex? tra Term of the Court; and for the dignity, ability and courtesy with which be has discharged his du? ties as presiding officer of the Court. On motion by 8. B. Griffin, Esq. Resolved, That the above Resolution of thanks be published in the Edgefield Advertiser. Gov. Bonham, in his usual happy and ornato manner, presented the above Resolutions to his nonor on the last day of the Term, followed by Gen. M. W. Gaby, on the part of the Juries, in tendering their thanks, as also those of the com? munity, to Judge Obb, for the strict, yet courte? ous impartiality and ability manifested daring the entire Term, THE DEMOCRATIC PASTY OF THIS STATE?IB IT VICTORY OS REPEAT 1 The newspapers of this State have been discuss? ing, for the past several weeks, the plana of the approaching campaign. The opinions and senti? ments appear to be various, showing the impera? tive necessity for concert of action, which is ad? mitted on all sides to.be the great question of the hour. It is not proposed in this article to point out the means to- bring about entire harmony and unanimity among the opposition to the present Radical administration?these will be developed at the proper time. But as an indication of public sentiment in this region, where Democraoy has its firmest stronghold, it is meet that an expression of the views entertained by this journal should go forth to the world. This will be done briefly. The questions entering into the campaign of of 1868 are no longer under discussion. Negro suffrage and its appendages are fixed and irrevo? cable facts, so far as the inhabitants of this State are concerned. In Federal politics, the great idea of centralization is the ruling motive of the Radi? cal party, and must be combatted in other States yet to feel the tread of its iron heel, for here its work has been accomplished for the present. The. tariff, currency, and excessive taxation by the Federal government, with kindred questions, are likely to form' the nucleus oC opposition in the North and West to the reigning dynasty. But with these questions, altogether, the people of this State are not so directly interested as to absorb their attention, especially in preference to domes? tic-affairs which more intimately concern their welfare, and the prosperity of the Stale. It is fair to presume, then, that Federal politics will be tabooed in the coming canvass, and that every at? tention will be given to secure aa honest and faith? ful representation of the people in both branch? es of the Legislature, and in other high offi? ces. In order to secure this desirable object, it is unnecessary to beat about dead issues. The Democratic party in this State must be progressive and active, not slumbering among the ruins of the past, however glorious that past may be. If it is es? sential to its success, heretofore leaders must be laid aside, and men imbued with strength and activity placed in the van. Not that inexperienced hands should guide the helm, but to infuse new life and vigor it may be necessary to obtain the services of such as are not prejudiced by a life-time education against what has been inevitable. With the Dem? ocratic party no longer tilting at windmills, it is highly probable that the co-existent races in this State might adjust the differences of the lost three or four years, and solve the diffi? cult problem before them, to the great dis? comfiture of the aliens and foreigners now ruling in this State, and. whose feeding at the public crib is at the expense of black and white alike. A guarantee of equal political privileges, under the law as it now stands, is nothing more than duty requires, while suoh a declaration from the Democratic party would go far to removing the obstacles new in the path of the negro against i affiliating with his white neighbor. Until at least ?this much is done, the Radical majority of 30,000 will net l>e effectually reduced, and years might intervene before the opportunity is ogaia so fa? vorable (awards ousting the corrupt demagogues from place and? power. Are the leaders of our party prepared to take this step forward, and as? sume all the responsibility and meet the conse? quences it entails upon them, ? Hence we submit the question, is it victory or defeat ? -o EXACTLY RIGHT. The Charleston News laid down a platform the other day, upon which that journal proposed to place the Democracy of this State. It has receiv? ed a single response, we believe, and this (which we fully endorse) was from the Columbia Phoenix, as follows: We desire first to say that we make no issue with the News upon the subject matter of its dec? laration. But it is due, at leant to this journal, to say that we do not recognize the right either of the Newt, or of any other journal, to lay down the platform of the South Carolina Democracy. We presume that at the right time, and in its own way, the South Carolina Democracy will lay down a platform for themselves. In the meantime the iWi!c?-can do no more than give expression to its own platform ; and we have the right to say, with due courtesy, that the Newt has exercised an au? thority which no journal in the State has a right to assume. We "who have born the heal and bur? den of the day," do not assume this authority, and we do not intend to concede it to other journals. THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. It is claimed by Radical journals that the Fif? teenth amendment io the Constitution of the Uni? ted States has been ratified by twenty-seven States, being only one le?4 than a constitutional majority. Nebraska, Texas and Georgia can be relied upon as voting in its favor when the Legislatures of thos? States are called upon to act, and this will secure one more vote than is necessary to com? plete its ratification, even should the vote of New York not be counted, in accordance with the with? drawal of consent by it? present Legislature. The following is the full text of the Fifteenth Amendment: Section 1, The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servituJe. Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. NEW INSURANCE COMPANY. Among the good acts of the Legislature, (and it is pleasant to have such to mcut ion, for the rare variety,) says the Columbia correspondent of the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Sentinel, the granting of a charter to the '-Policy Holders' Life and Tontine Assurance Company of the South" is noteworthy. This is a mutual company, upon the safe principle of those companies at the North which have proven great successes?such as the New York Mutual The President, Wm. McBur? ney. Esq., is an old resident of Charleston, where the company's headquarters are to be established for the present. It a operations are intended to embrace the three States of South Carolina, Geor? gia and North Carolina, and it contains in its Board of Directors some of the best names in this State. Il is designed to absorb at home the im? mense sums now being invested in Northern in? surance couipanics, and in this purpose deserves the support of the Soulhern people. Ugf A capital number is the Issue of the.4meri. can Agriculturist for February, an advanoc copy of which has come to hand. The tinted cover con? tains a beautiful engraving of animals, while through the body of the work are scattered 84 fine illustrations, some of exquisite beauty, and all pleasing or instructive. About an equal num? ber of articles on various topics, for the Farm, Garden and Household, (the little ones not for? gotten,) include the practical experience of lead? ing farmers in different localities, which furnish much rea.1 instruction. These, with a list of work to be done during the month, and with the "Bas? ket" containing exposures of humbugs and some eighty shorter articles on various topics, together furnish an amount of useful, practical, reliable in? formation probably nowhere else to bo found?at least for t he same cost: $1.60 per annum, or four copies for $5.

Many fashionable young ladies in New York are said to be suffering with abscesses on their feet, caused by the high French boot-heels now in vogue. ? The name of Wm. S. Groesbeck, of Cincin? nati, is mentioned by some Western papers as a possible Democratic candidate for the Presidency ia '72. ? Dr. Hunter McGuire, formerly Medical Di? rector of Stonewall Jackson's army corps, has beea elected President of the Ricmond Academy of Medicine. ?

Smith, who commanded at Galvestoa when the "Harriet Lane" was captured, was killed in Alaska recently by a drunken Indian, who was hanged by a mob. Alaska ought to be reconstruc? ted for this Ku Elux outrage. ? College students have a legend of a mechani? cal and perhaps sleepy parson at morning prayers, who prayed that "the inefficient may be made effi? cient, the intemperate temperate, and the indus? trious du8trious." ? Col. Wm. S. Rockwell, for many years a prominent citizen 0'' Georgia, but recently a resi? dent of Baltimore, died recently. He was dis? tinguished among the Masonic fraternity for his learning and zeal. ? A case has just been decided by the Supreme Court of Alabama, which is regarded as settling, in principle, that all the marriages which took place in that State during the war are null and void, and that the issue of such marriages are ille? gitimate. ? "Captain Jinks, of the Horse Marines," whose history has often been heard in the rich melody of song, has been supplanted by a beauti? ful and refined production, hearing the classic title of "Shoo, Fly! Don't Bodder Me." The world ia all agog with the information that this latter song is a native of Charleston. ? The expression seeing light, often found in the Columbia correspondence of the Charleston paper?, is Radical English for downright bribery. When money is used to secure rotes, light is said to be thrown on the subject, and when it is stated that a member sees light, the meaning is that he has been paid his price. ? Married women in this State will soon acquire control of their own property. The Legislature has passed a bill which provides that no real or personal property held by a woman at the time of her marriage shall be subject to levy or sale for her husband's debts, but shall be her separate prop? erty?and that she may manage and dispose of the same in all respects as though she were a man. ? Disturbances in York county are reported, and it is rumored that an engagement had taken place in which eight men were killed. The con? stabulary and "loyal citizens" are arrayed against the Ku Klux from North Carolina, who are said to have been whipping and outraging innocent per? sons for some time. This is from a Republican source, and must be taken with some grains of al? lowance. ? The Washington correspondent of tho Balti? more Sun thinks that Congress is not very anxious to admit the unreconstructed States, and says: "it is all a sham that they aro disturbed by the cry of rebels. The truth is that they fear the political power of the Southern States on financial and other questions, and this makes New England so much opposed to adniiasion. The cry of 'rebel' is a convenient one for them to use to cover up their real motives." ? During the debate oa the Educational bill in the Legislature last Thursday, DeLarge (colored) intimated that all the school commissioners had received "light" from the book agents, who were anxious to introduce their series of school books through the influence of these officials. Mclntyrc, (white,) who is a school commissioner, retorted that if DeLarge meant him, be was a base liar Much confusion ensued, but Mclntyre apologized to the House, and the angry waves subsided. ? The Elberton Gazette says that the corps of engineers appointed for that purpose have com? menced the survey of tho Augusta and Hartwcll Railroad. They commenced near Augusta, and will continue their survey via Elberton and Hart? wcll, on to Clayton. This looks like there waB some reality in tho matter, and tho prospects for a Railroad are brightening. Men of capital have taken hold of the enterprise, and the indications are that they will push it forward as rapidly as possible. ? A potition, signed by a number of citizens of MassaehasettB, has been forwarded to Representa? tive Cox, of New York, with tho request that he submit it to Congress. The petitioners pray that their State be remanded to a territorial govern? ment for its treasonable oourse in 1842, its unre publican prinoiples denying the right of suffrage to those who oannot read acid write, and for its connection with the Hartford Convention. Mr. Cox means to present tho petition as requested by its signers. ANDERSON FARMERS' ASSOCIATION?SPECIAL PREMIUMS FOR CORN AND COTTON. The annexed correspondence reveals some in? teresting facts for the farmers of this region, who desire to compete for the substantial premiums herewith announced. First, the agent of Baugh's Rawbone Phosphate offers a ton of that well known fertiliser, to be equally divided as a pre? mium for both corn and cotton; secondly, the agents of the Etiwan Fertilizers authorize the Association to offer a similar amount of their manufacture for the same purpose. Altogether, then, there are four Premiums, two each for corn and cotton. The conditions are simply that each contestant for either of the premiums shall p?y an entrance fee of $2 for the benefit of the Asso? ciation, and shall notify the Secretary of such in? tention on their part, and pay the entrance fee on or before the 10th day of June next. Of course, the fertilizers to be used on each acre will be the same as the premium contended for, and each contestant must furnish the particulars as to prep? aration of the land, quantity applied, and the manner of application. It is likewise stipulated that farmers ia either Anderson, Pickens and Oconee counties may compete for these premiums. We invite attention to the correspondence below: CORRESPONDENCE. Anderson, S. C, Dec. 25, 1869.

I would suggest that an entrance fee be charged all ^competitors, for the use or benefit of the Associa tion. Respectfully, B. F. CRAYTON. Anderson, S. 0., Dec. 27, 1869. B. F.

Hoyt, on or by the 10th day of June next, and also to pay at the time of giving such notice an entrance fee of $2 ia each case, to be applied for the benefit and use of the Association. J. L. ORR, for the Committee. The undersigned has been authorized by Messrs. Wm. C. Beb & Co., general agents of the Etiwan Fertilizers, to offer through the Association a half ton of the Exiwan for the best acre of Corn and Cotton each, to be grown in Anderson, Pickens or Oconee counties, by the use of their Fertilizers, subject to the same conditions and regulations as have beea applied by the Association to the dona? tion of Baugh's Rawbone Phosphate. B. F. CRAYTON, Chairman Executive Committee. -? The New Democracy.?A new party was orga? nized in New York on Wednesday last, under tho name of "New Democracy." The founders base tho party on the fundamental principle of requir? ing the reference to the people of all laws passed by their legislative representatives, as is done in several of the Swiss contons. A shrewd bid is made in the platform for the votes of the women. The new Democrats favor the running of all the railroads and telegraphs by the government, and the employment of everybody who wants work by the national and local authorities. -?, An Important Consideration.
