W. K. Easley. *? &. telegraphic dispatch received by the Co- our abia Carolinian from James A. Hoyt, Esq., pro] ted Atlanta, July 11, conveyed the sad in- Pres ligence of the death of Gen. W. K. Easley, JjU Greenville, who was on a visit to that city w{ie business connected with the Air Line Rail- guil id. From a private communication from the Pres itor of the Intelligencer, who was in Atlanta ?^ the time, we learn that Gen. Easley had _at ly reached Atlanta the day before his death, leav ter breakfast on the morning of his arrival, com went on a trip up the Air Line Railroad, e*Ej de on' the engine, was absent all day, ate 8Cj1(. thing during his absence, and his physician help pressed the opinion that this was the ex- dem ing cause of his illness. He was taken vio ltly ill on the next morning with congestion j>ee{ the entire abdominal viscera, from which he Xot id. at 3" o'clock p. m. He had the best medi- Tax L attention from the beginning, and was ru?J adly attended by some of his old friends m South Carolina, among them Gen. A. C. tber urlington and Col. C. D. Farrow. In the Stat ath of Gen. Easley, the State has lost one of tin? r most gifted sons. mai The Baltimore Convention. ais The National Democratic Convention, which of ^ ambled in Baltimore on the 9th inst. for the mination of candidates for President and paw co President, overwhelmingly nominated hen 3-ace Grecley for President, and Gratz Brown paic ? Vice President, and adopted the Cincin ti platform. In this nomination we behold muj sacrifice of party prejudice never before so tax werfully exhibited in the nation, except that ulat a smaller scale in Tennessee and Missouri, their last gubernatorial election had a union ^il the Liberal Republicans and Democrats? K rties which brought peace and prosperity to timi ese once destructed States. When we be- ^ Id men and parties liberal and self-sacri-1 feaj ing, and not willing that the sun should go bad wn on their wrath, we may well hope for the buy fety of the Republic The Grant Republi- no* n party has made protestations of friendship qod these Southern States only to remind them m0i at they are rebels. The election of Grant sam tir years ago, though taken from Democratic tne' uks, was calculated to continually remind us I our shame, because it was he who beheld h0i( e sun of Southern glory go down on the field thei Appomattox, aud received the surrender of ^^-J ir cause. If we were sensitive then, how uch more so now when the same military ieftain is again nominated for the Prcsiden- tun , who, if elected, will for another long four ?UDf tare remind us that we are rebels. The Dem- in y ratic party now accepts the olive brauch held ienj tt by the Liberal Republican party at Cin- the* anati, in a platform that rises above party tne' irit to that pure atmosphere of liberal con- ^ee itutional government, that must and will ing safety to our political institutions. The . ' rant republicans may affect to scoff at the yeg| Bult of the Baltimore Convention?they may efle nt over the union of the Liberal Republican tnc id Democratic parties, but in their rant we ^.aj low they have seen the hand-writing on the sai? til, and, like Belshazzar, are trembling in the had ?es.

Partyism is one i he safeguards to tbe health of the body 0f j tic, and the more nearly divided the strength r0a< >arties the purer they will be. One party ?0? as a censor upon the other, making it more owr tious and circumspect in its administration an , lublic affairs.

Allatoona is unpretending village, containing only a few p ^ ilies, and in the midst of a rather sparsely Pa? lliated community; but there are good . aing lands in this section, and rich beds of i ore are found within a short distance. It J ' u important depot, however, as the numer- ^ trains, passing almost every hour in the and night, procure wood and water at this ^ ion. Formerly, the place was thriving as a road village, but the ravages of war de- geci yed the business houses and several dwell- trft^ s, and effectually checked its growth. The ... ot is romantically situated at the foot of the cQm itoona Heights, through which the railroad Qffe etrates, and in this immediate vicinity . ting took place during the summer of 1864, sn Johnston retreated before Sherman. We Qm told that fourteen hundred soldiers fell tj0E n the Heights, and the graves of many were ^ er identified, as the Confederates fell back "j": iout completing the work of burying their 1. Indeed, we met a young man from gQfl souri the other day, who was looking for ^ grave of his brother, killed upon the sum of the ridge adjacent to the railroad cut. oyei i search was unsuccessful, and the precise con( ; where lies the remains of this gallant sol- anv ? will probably remain forever unknown. j ., he mineral wealth of this region is quite ?v active, and immense beds of iron ore are have been profitably worked.

This ex- ma] ment was in the interest of Boston capital- tDe , we are informed, and from $175,000 to j_ t 3,000 was expended in an almost fruitless j, rt to gather glittering gold. ean ho fanning lands of this section are rather aliar. Some of the ridges are highly pro- ujtj tive, notwithstanding the fact that they are jU(j jred almost entirely with slate rock, which ^ rferes to some extent with the cultivation he soil. The best lands produce a bale of j #0_i on to the acre, forty bushels of corn, and en or twenty bushels of wheat. The bottom jaj Is on the creeks are highly valuable, easily laged, and produce wonderfully. Beyond *L r Allatoona Heights flows the Etowah River, 8tat from a slight glimpse obtained the other p of the beautiful farms on either side, we ??, mei inclined to think that the river lands are gtrc rior to none in this broad country. Im- jefl. ise fields of waving corn are seen upon ev- ^ side, while elegant farm-houses dot the Q? , Iscape far as the eye can reach. The aQ(: wah lands are valued at high figures, and it othiug uncommon to hear the owners talk ^ ranting one hundred dollars per acre for -~ r farms. We are told that 40 or 50 miles ig the Etowah there is an unbroken coun- ^ equal in every respect to the choice lands | i from the railroad between this point and tcrsville. Corn and wheat are the principal >s, although we noticed some fine cotton in ^ vicinity of the Etowah. Clover and the .. us, aes flourish in this section, and the hay > is an important item of revenue to the v lers. In a word, there is every evidence ul ; the most ample provision is made for the g ( enance of man and beast. con artersville is eight; miles north of this place, na is the county site of Bartow county. We p the pleasure of spending a day there re tly, and were highly pleased with the activ- ^ and energy of its population. Formerly, town was of small consequence, principally ^ ;d as a depot on the State Road, and having ^ future of promise and importance. Since . war a different state of things exist, and erg several years the place has grown steadily, WQ i favor, and the population numbers nearly?' ?e thousand at this time.

Elegant residences in Inn ious parts of town mark the improvement ^ he last few years, and quite a number are jU{ r in process of erection. The business wh ses for the most part are ample and con- Re] iently arranged, and we observed several "7 r stores and other buildings intended for cotl iness purposes rapidly approaching comple- Re] i. The railroad passes through the heart thn awn, and the depot is in the centre of a ;e square, on the sides of Which are located tjp, principal stores, hotels, restaurants, offices, aut : like buildings. The business is not con- ver d to the public square, but is extending in *?? ry direction, and ultimately tho various wjj ets intersecting the square will be appro- tw< ited to the increasing demands of business. Ch; 5 farmers are delivering their wheat at this in? e, and thousands of bushels are daily JL, ?ped from Cartersville. The shipments of pie jat aggregate about three hundred thousand cal hels, we are informed, and the busy scene 036 und the depot reminded us forcibly of the iter season in Anderson, when Mr. Fant is jng it so busily employed in receiving and weigh- pai cotton. are 'he Carters vi 11s and Van West Railroad has e n completed about twenty-two miles, and ;ady penetrates a rich iron and coal region, 1 idly developing tho hidden resources of an der ixplored country. Another railroad is pro- J? ted from Cartersville to Gainesville, and wo uld this prove a reality, we predict a bright to i lire for the former towu. By tho way, the ?^ zens talk of changing the name from Car- ?ar ivillc to Etowah City, and we suppose that pUj ilication will be made to tho Legislature, at ne> approaching session, to effect the change. ftb' ["his county of Bartow, originally called a^ is, has received a large share of its popula- jor i from South Carolina, and familiar names ad' ke the ear on almost every hand.

Finally, when things got to jt ir worst, and a Democratic Legislature was ling into power, a company of capitalists yga red to lease the Road for twenty years, pay- jQCj to the State an annual rental of $300,000 . monthly instalments, and agreeing to turn ^ r the Road in good condition at the expira- ^ i of the lease. The proposition was accep and the lessees took charge of the Road> iting Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown as the Pres- . it. The lessees have now controlled the 0^ j id for eighteen months, and besides paying rent promptly, the track has been put in i repair and the rolling stock thoroughly " rhauled, until now the Road is in as fine *wl dition to transact its immense business as at of t time in its history. Trains run with regu- fore ty, scarcely an accident ever occurring, and riot vast freights are transported over the Road don i celerity and dispatch, Four or five freight mU] ns of twenty to thirty cars each, even in ?f 1 i dull season, are passing each way with exa >ugh freight, besides the regular trains for B"*n ' freight. Three passenger trains, up and Pos m, every twenty-four hours, transport an tell aense number of individuals, who are pro- be jd with every possible comfort and accom- Goi iation. Briefly, the Road is splendidly Pro aaged, and although it is understood that eye lessees have not realized any clear gain up vot' his time, but on the contrary have expended an(^ irge sum of money over and above the ?PI aings to place the Road in first-class condi- to 1 i, there is every prospect that the lease will *t i mately yield handsome dividends. In our Thi gment, the lease is a beneficial arrangement rnei the State, if it does not bring profit to the tbe ees, and we are surprised to learn that ef :s are making to revoke the contract, which ? lid again place the Road under the manip- ^0 , tion of trading politicians.

I am personally acquainted h those parties, and feel confident the list ' itains but a scanty representation of the 6t;i publican party. It is somewhat strange fifc t such a discrimination in selecting reform in Abbeville could be made, and the cream tes the joke is, that the few Republicans men- sei aed, declare such an assertion positively un- 0f horized.

No one who has watched the thi cer of the Intelligencer will doubt the sinccr- the of this declaration. It is an excellent news- Q^ per, and is conducted with scrupulous fair ss, marked moderation, and considerable ?* ility. By way, we suppose, of celebrating nas i?ropriately its natal day, notice, is given that an s price of subscription is reduced to two dol- 0jj s a year, which must invariably be paid in . ranee. If the Intelligencer will unswerving- lDi adhere to this rule, it will find that the re- ah ced subscription will produce more money tio in the credit rate. Every paper that goes j.jn t, excepting exchanges, will bo paid for, aud . sre will be a saviug of time ana trouble in uo mg away with the cumbrous subscription thi gers of tho credit-giving newspapers. A ers per like the News would require a regiment clerks, if a personal account wore to he ?ned for every subscriber. Nor need the In igenccr fear that it will lose subscribers by icting prepayment. It is a good newspaper, 1 those who had any intention of paying at will cheerfully pay the reduced price in ad ice. That is our experience.? Charleston the ws. |?wi' l'or inc jinucrson Miucuujeiicer. "Local Reform in South Carolina." Ir. Editor : The mail has brought to me a Ho iphlet upon "Local Reform in South Caro- & i," written by Mr. W. L. Trenholm, of list* irleston. It is an unpretending publication the >nly twelve pages, containing, in the lan- one ge of the author, "An impartial account of tior chief political events in this State since the cen ?, with some reflections upon the narrative adv I upon the present state of public affairs," enu . I regret that a copy of it is not in the a ids of every voter in the State. In a sum- ter? ?y but able and candid manner, Mr. Tren- uc m traces the successive steps by which the uns ite and colored races were alienated from inv Ii other and arrayed in fierce political an- cus mism; and the unhappy but inevitable re- of I a. The conclusions, drawn as lessons of no erieLn .'rom the disasters of the past seven nes rs, reached by Mr. Trenholm, so fully co- dai ide with my own convictions, that I beg tim re to present your readers with a few ex- des :ts, which indicates the line of action that tioi non-Republican voters should pursue in the lay sent posture of our local government; and hoi eh I honestly recommend to the Republican ter. ers also.

Our own tory obliges us to recoil from the conse mces of such antagonisms: Secession and jM ijugation, as the end of sectionalism, were the to Dtotypes of the Ku Klux, and its results as j t end of a strife between the races. In this ? sgoverned and impoverished State, the peo i must not remain divided, or they will be -^r ned; a divided people falls an easy prey to V ?acious rulers; reconciliation and harmony J?J : of vital necessity to us, and we should al j nothing to deter us from their attainment." ^ the effort.

Uter reciting for our encouragement the ex ple of the people of Illinois, whose affairs a ? j years ago wore in as bad a condition as ? rs, and who rose as one man and reformed TJ )ir government at one blow, Mr. Trenholm icceds to discourse thus sensible upon the t accident op color. ^ The accident of color, in a community con- Cc iuted like ours, should bo totally ignored; less for the duties required should be the loi t in all cases, and no man should be cither ^. ected for any office or rejected on account tai his being black or white. * * * What said as to the distinctions of color, is also a*i le as to distinctions of party; tho doctrines th i principles of national parties do not prac- qc ally affect the ordinary business in a State; Tc nan does not make a better or a worse Judge lo? Treasurer because he is a Republican or a foi raocrat, while, for the whole community, m if all were Republicans, an incompetent wi unjust Republican Judge would be infinite worse than an able and conscientious Demo itic Judge. These reflections are no doubt ? f-evident and common-place, but they really TJ brace the whole difficulty of our present idition ; if tho citizens of the State would ly act like tho members of an ordinary busi- B' ?s association, the reform of our local affairs i uld soon be accomplished." While I do not underrate tho importance of oosing honest and competent men to admin- U< er the affairs of our National Government, I clf list, with Mr. Trenholm, that the people of lit is State are more immediately interested in ^ 3 election of honest and capable executive ac icers to administer the State Government; jjjj wise, houest and experienced legislators to \v ike their laws; and of competent, houest ?J-j d judicious men to fill tho various County j>, ices. If these things be so, then in attempt- wi r to select such men for the various stations ove enumerated, we invite the caudid atten- St n of men of all parties, to tho foregoing d* icly and thoughtful suggestions of Mr. Tren- ioi lm, as aids to the successful discharge of ll< it duty?a duty demanded by every consid- w] ition of self-interest and self-preservation. pij Very respectfully, WARREN D.
