William Stone baa resigned the office of District Attorney for this State, and our people would rejoice if they did not (ear (?at President Hayes would ap point a worse man. New York has been thc victim of a destructive dre, "which brok o oat in J. P. Halo's piano factory on South avenue and Thirty-fifth street, consuming it, to gether with a barrel factory, a silk facto ry, an engine house, and a row of frame buildings. There were about one hun dred lives lost in the flames, and the loss of property will not be less than $1.000, 000. The fire is supposed to have been accidental. We publish on cnother page Comino doro Pe gram's account of the circum stances under which, and the purposes for which, Capt. F. W. Dawson, the edi tor-in-chief of the Charleston NcV? and (hurter, came to America. It !s a high tribute to the personal valor, and the in tegrity of purpose, of one who is well known to South Carolinians as an nbio and fearless editor, and will doubtless bo read with much interest by tho subscri bers of the INTKLMOKMCER, who so ."re quentiy have the pleasure of reading ex tracts and quolations from the great paper over which he presides. The case of Cornell, Naval officer in New York, seems to be giving President Hayes and his cabinet considerable trou ble. Mr. Cornell is President of the New York Republican Committee, and will resign neither position, hence, under tho' President's civil service reform o/Jer he should be dismissed from the Naval posi tion ; but as Mr. Cornell ls a man of con siderable influence in New York, tho cabinet is Afraid to act prompt ly for fear of injuring tho unity of the party. There ii not much sincerity in a movement of reform where the movers cringe in carrying it out, for fear of dis turbing tho harmony of their political party. The wheat crop of Great Britain fails Rhorter this year than usual, although the acreage planted was 200,000 more than last year. Tho crop made in Great Britain amounts to 10,000,000 quarters, or a quarter being eight bushels, 80,000,- i 000. This is not near enough to supply John Bull with bread, and he will at the most economical figures have to import about 11,000,000 quarters, or 88,000,000 bushels from neighboring countries. A great portion of this will be obtained fiom Brother Jonathan, and thns we will ' have an opportunity to export any excess of this crop which we may have. The ltusso-Turkish war will canse a scarcity ' in Turkey and Russia, which will have to be supplied from tho neighboring European States, and thus the draft which England will have to make upon America will be very much larger than usual. The United States bas been irying to got a commissioner to visit Sitting Bull, the noted Sloax chief, for the purpose of treating with him relative to his tribe's future conduct as citizens of America. No salary has been provided for the place, j and as tho treachery of Csp?. J??ck, cf Modoc fame, in still In tho country's mind, men recognize tho fact that there ia a tincture of danger mingled with the honor, and as a consequence nearly every statesman in America appears to be quite busily occupied just at this time, and it was feared for a time that tho commission would fail by lack of any one to act aa commissioner. Hon. A. Lawrence, of Rhode Island, however, accepted at last the civilian's position on the commission, and the Secretary of War will appoint two officers to act with him, and in the course of a few ira&s it is probable we shalt have Sitting Bull's views on tho situation. Admiral Hsohael Syraroes, of the Con federate States Na?y, died is Mobile, Alabama, on tho 81st of August. Mr. Symmes waa a Captain in the United States Navy for s number of years de vious to the war, but retired to the prac tico of the law in Cincinnati until the Into war broke out, at which time he offered his services to the Confederate Navy, and went out aa the Captain of the "Sumter," which was abandoned in Gibralta and sold. He afterwards as sumed command of the "Alabama," and carried the Confederate flair, with honor tc the young nation and terre? io ho? foes, upon the high seas of the world. His services Upon thia' vessel will long be remembered by those who fought for the lost cause' or read ita history. Mr. Symmes waa born in 1800, and hence in 1861, when he commanded the "Ala? bama/' waa over flfty years of age, and at the time of his' death was near seventy. He waa a noble maa and a brave soldier.

Although the new ( rate is not just aa wo would WUh lt, yet our merchant* say they can, by ordering in the bulk and obtaining through ratos, competo with any town in the State in the prices of goods, groceries, hardware, Ac. ; and also afford to pay tho highest prices for cotton and County produce for shipment* Thia reduction is a very groat thing for Andsraon, and our merchant* and people generally aro under obliga tions to several of the Charleston mer chants, and particularly Mesar?:. Wagener & Co., for the accomplishment of this much-needed reduction. Wo are advo cates for trading'at home, and hence Dot only hope that the people of Anderson County will trade at their County town, but also hope our merchants will order ; as many classes of goods as possible from j thc city of Charleston, which is the me I tropolu) of South Carolina, and deserves i to be built up as far as possible by our 11 j whole people. This reduction in freight* is of the uttermost importance to Auder son, and is destined to bring hack to us much that wo have hitherto lost in html ness. The pr?sent rate is about one fourth less than the former tariff, which will make a vc/y material difference in the amount of goods which is brought to a town of this aise. ANDERSON'S BUSINESS PROSPECT. The past year has been ono of general depression and business stagnation throughout tho entire country. The largest cities as well as the smallest towns have suffered from tho financial crisis and business contraction which has paral ywd our country. During this unfayoru bio period tho town of Anderson has suf fered not only from the general contrae tion of business, but nico most heavily from a great and oppressive discrimina tion in freight*, which has driven much of the trade which wo have been receiv ing to other points. This period has, however, wo believe, passed, and os tho general business of tho country ia reviv ing, tho railroad authorities havo given us a reduced freight tariff, and tho busi ness of Anderson is already looking up. Our morchanto ara laying in large and well selected stocks of goods, and intend to sell this season as low as any neigh boring tonn. Every branch of trade will be represented in this reduction, and cur business men assure us that tho dif ferences in price of groceries and heavy goods, which havo taken our trade off heretofore, will not exist any longer to ?justify the people cf Anderson County in spending their monoy in other mar kets. With the opening of tho fall trade we expect to seo our town ouco moro tho busy mart that it was four or fivo years ago. Tho highest prices will be pajd for cotton, and goods sold in return for the lowest cash rates. Wo hope tho people of this County will at least givo their Coucly Town a fair trial in cash trade, and thon wo are confident that they wiii be content to make lt their family mar ket. _ ANDERSON AND AUGUSTA. There will bo a mass meeting of tho friends of tho projected road from Ander son to Augusta held at Lowndeaville on Saturday next, at 10 o'clock A. M., at ?u'ch time several speeches may bo ex pected in the interest of tho enterprise, and such action aa may be deemed best calculated to effect tho organisation of the company, and tho early commence ment of the work of constructing tho road. The gentlemen along tho lino of th!.- road aro in solid earnest, and with the hearty co-operation of the citizens of Anderson, it will be an easy task to se cure the completion of ( he road. We can see no reason why the iron homo shall not, within tho next year, bo plying passenger* and- freights betwocu Augusta and Anderson. The occasion for beginning this enter prise is propitious. Wo have good crops this season, and all can afford to mako small subscriptions to secure tho new road. Besides this we can obtain the use of convicta at very reasonable rates, and thus have the work dono much cheaper than the previous estimate, have made it out. AU that ls necessary to build the rood is to form the resolution to do it. We believe tho resolution is fast forming, and in less than two months from this time we oxpect to seo the whole line, from thia place to the point of connection with thu Greenwood and Augusta Road at Dom's Mine, a perfect biaza of enthusiasm. Lc? us then go to ; work to reciprocate the action of our Lowhdesville friends hy preparing to [Join them heartily and fully in the effort tor communication with Augusta. Josephus Woodruff and A. O. Jones, the Clerks of the Senate and Houso of Repr?sentatives under republican Ism, and the components of tho Republican Printing Company, ware arrested somo Weeks since, our readers will remember, on charges of cmbexalement in various Instances, and gave bond for their ap pearance to answer indictments which have been preferred against them.

Mormon comSttniiyi rl tia rcaldfenc^ thc I?iott H??s?, !n Bait Lake 3iiy, l?tdh Territory, on Wednesday the ' !9th of August ult., from tho effects of j tn attack of indigestion, and thus has , ?oded ono of the most remarkable careers i >f modern times. Ilrlgham woe born iii 1 Vermont Jurie 1, 180?, and wa?, there- j ore, at the time of his death over seventy- | lix years old. Ho was the son of Metho- f list parents, but was wild r.nd skeptical ' n his youth, ar.d after moving into the State of New York, was in 1832 converted j o the Mormon faith, and 5 i 1835, after i moving to Ohio, Joseph Smith, the then \ licad of tho Mormon church, organized ' thc quorum of the twelve apostles with j Young es the Senior. He then went as t x missionary to New York, Massachusetts Mid Missouri, and finally went lo Eng- J land, and in 1840 secured the emigration | af a number of Mormons to this country. I They first settled in Missouri and then in j Mississippi. lingham Young claimed to bave brought polygamy back from Eng land with him as a vision sent him from i heaven. It was adopted by tho Mormons, and was tho source of milch confusion, . resulting in thc assassination of the prophet Smith in Carthago jitil in 1844, i after which Hrigha'u Young became tho leader of tho Mormons and tho head of church, lie conducted thc persecuted tribe from the banks of tho Mississippi through Illinois, and nettled in 1847 in Utah Territory, making Salt Lake City his headquarters. He was chosen Gov ernor by thc people, and exercised this olfico until 1857, when Albert Cumming, of Georgia, was appointed Governor, and (louerai Albert Hidncy Johnston with 2,500 mon was sent out ibero to enforce his authority. Young, however, though nominally deposed, waa virtually Govern or, nud controlled the territory through the Mormon Church. As the leader of polygamy in this country he had ninny trials, but always managed to evade thc statutes of tho land and to avoid arrest. Ho I? said to have been n kind father and considerate and good husband, and it is ?aid bc never experienced any domestic trouble except with Ann Eliza, his nine teenth wife, who made thiugs lively for him some years ago. His death was calm, and in him died tho greatest Mormon that America bas ever produced, or it is to bo hoped will ever produce. ???* body lay in state for sovcral days, and was final ly interred with nil the rights of his church on hist Sunday, in the presence of an immcuso concourse of mourning friends and relatives. He leaves forty seven children and fifty grandchildren lingham Young's death is a severo blow to Mormonism, and it is to be hoped that the abominable faith will be wrecked, and tho church dissipated by tho .sur rounding civilization. One thing nure is, that Mormon ?nm bas seon its bestduys in America, and rn successor for Brigham can bo found who will so completely unite and control tho church in future. THE EASTERN WAR. During tho past week a great deal of fighting has been done by tho Russians and Turks without any decisive results. Both tho Russiau and Turkish armies have lost heavily in killed und wounded, though tho latter have had somo seen thousand men killed in efforts to dis lodgo the Russians from tho Schipkn Pass alono have been tho heaviest suf ferers. Tho wing of tho Russian army upon tho Lom has boon worstd in the fighting there, mid driven back into en trenched positions. Both tho Russians and thoy have suffered heavily in killed and wounded here, and tho Turks have gained some advantages of position which will require tho Russians to re treat in tho face of danger of being sur rounded, or to bo reinforced speedily, which is hardly possible. Tho war in Bulgaria is still fierce and cruel upon tho part of the Turks, who show no mercy to men, women or chil dren, but murder and torturo all in a most horrible manner. Tho Russian forces have been too much straightened by recent reverses to aid these sufferers from Turkish barliarity to any great ex tent. Thu only proiccMou which ihoy have, lies in the fact thai Turkey ?B too busily engaged with ?be Russian forces along tho Balkans to spare a large force to coerce Bulgaria. Tho hardest fighting of tho week, how over, hus been dono in tho Schipka Pass, which it is necessnry for tho Russians to hold, in order.to receive cither reinforce ments or supplies. So far tho Turks havo been routed at this point, and their army slmo^t destroyed. It is, however, recruiting rapidly, and tho whole coun try is alive with tho Turks rallying around tho standard of tho Ottoman Em pire to enjoy the fierce war which ia be ing waged. Tho Russian position, though still critical, is better than it waa last week, and reinforcements will soon arrive, after which they will again bo able to resume offensive movements. M. Thiers, tho greatest French histo rian and statesman, died on last Monday of an attack of apoplexy. His greatest hiatory is "Tho French Revolution," which is tho highest authority among studeuts, and his greatest political at tainment has boen tho Prcsidoncv o'/ France, which ho filled after.the commu nistic troubles that followed tho Franco- ' Prussian war. M. Thiers at the time of his death waa a very old man, bot waa vigorous in mind and physically active for a man of his years. He led one wing of the Republican party of Franco, and bia death leaves M. Gambetta, bia rival, the undisputed leader of the whole Re publican element. What effect hi? dnatK will have upon the impending election can* not be accurately foreshadowed,' though it Is feared that the Iocs of bis cou nae's will weaken the Republicans and strengthen the party of the rnonarchiaUy inclined President, McMahon. France has never produced a purer or more able man than the dead Thiers, and none of her chieftains have done so much for the cause of their country. His victories have been the victories of peace, and his triumphs have been the triumphs of wise counsels and prudent measures. The young republic sustains a great loee in the death of the distinguished patriot, and It will be difficult to find a succesrc* worthy to receive tho confidence and dis tinction which ho had won and main? tai ned during a life of nearly three score and ton.

The lading o? one of the two bills recently lubmitted to the grand itiry has made the i i whole matter public, and your correspond- | | mt is now enabled to give a full account )/aome very interesting particulars in re lation to the origin, history and import mcc of the Judge's treasure. It wax, in sflect, a correct and speaking likeness of the moral featurea of the dear departed Honest John J. Patterson I How it came into the possession of Judge Mackey is thus explained t Oh ? certain occasion, at hight, about the 4th of March, 1872, Judge Mackey :hancod to be in a private room in Pat tersoD's house, in Columbia, at the asme time that Patterson. Kimpton, Whitte more, Parker and Hardy Solomon ".rere holding a sociable tea-party in a room adjoining. Tho "party'' lasted a long time, and was finally broken up by the Jeparturo of Parker and Kimpton, who went away togctheri Patterson then joined Judge Mackey, and handing him a package securely scaled, asked him to take charge of it and to deliver it in per son to Kimnton at tho hitter's house or hotel. Mackey received the package and promised to deliver it as requested. On Ins way to Kimpton's room, however, Judgo Mackey reflected that the suspi cious package might contain papers of importance, and decided that it would be at well for bim to acquaint himself with its contents. With this intention in view, he called on Oovernor Scott as soon os possible next morning, and informing tho Governor of his suspicions and inten tions, consulted with him ss to the pro priety of examining the papers. Scott agreed with the Judge that it would be eminently proper to do so, and the two proceeded accordingly to investigate the contents of tho envelope, which they found, os ono of them subsequently ex pressed it to contain "all hell itself. ' Fully satisGcd now os to its importance they determined to obtain a copy, and fearing that something might occur to render such copy useless, unless it were a fae eimile of the original, they decided to have it photographed. Judge Mackey called at once on Mr. Hix,the well known photographer in this city, and requested that be would make two photographic copies of tho document, stipulating at the same time that Mr. Hix should not read it, and that he should destroy the nega tivo in his (Mackoy's) presence os soon us the proofs were obtained. Mr. Hix complied with these conditions, and in a Bhort time, having presented Mackey with two impressions, destroyed the neg ativo before bia eyes. One of the photo graphs Judge Mackey retained, the other he deposited with Governor Scott, and in the courso of the day tho original was de livered, securely resealed to the unsus pecting Fimpton, who in turn delivered it to Parker in the presence of Judge Mackey. Nothing was said of the two copies at the timo, and the fact of their existence long remained a secret, known only to Mackey, Scott and a few others whom they took into their confidence. Some reference has been made to them, however, of late years, and a few days ago Judge Muckey was called before tue investigating committee, to whom he de livered tho tell-tale proof in his posses sion. A copy was made and attached to the bill of indictment lutely found against Patterson, and from this again I Laye made the following exact cooy : "VICE-PRESIDENT'S OFFICE, GREENVILLE AND COLUMBIA R.

Wer-th? SU??rvialon of thu Executive Ccnmlllco of Pomona Granee. Fruit culture pr?sents some advantages ?fer ordinary cropping, since it appro priates two season? in the year for its jfopagation and extension. In the irjlliig jieariy aii the fruits Coidmon to >ur climate may he successfully grafted, [n the latter part of the summer, say July, tho farmer enjoys a season of leia ire, when he can very well afford to in terest and amuse himself by inserting auds of superior fruits, particularly of peaches and apples, into the fresh growth >( his old tree'., cr into original stock*. From the seed. In the former case he abtains good fruit in a shorter time, and M the improved fruit limb advances, he must top off tho old branches that pro duced the little knotty, wormy fruit. In the latter case, as soon as tho inserted bud begins to grow, (the next spring,) he must top off all tho original stock down to within two inches of the bud, so as to allow the bud to form the whole tree above that point. This plan, although preferably requires a long?r time to ma ture the fruit. For particular instruction in budding, J. refer the novice to an article published in the INTELLIGENCER 26tb July last, under the title "Eudding Fruit Trees." Also to an extract from an article over the signature of "Cape," published in the Weekly News of the 4th July last : "For budding to be successful tho buds used must be plump and well developed and the bark of the stock peel easily. Only wood buds will do, these being sharp pointed, while blossom buds are shorter and more rounded ; a little ob servation will teach the difference. The proper season extends hero from 1st of July till October. Select a smooth por tion on the stem of the stock, free from knots, near the ground, and make an up right cut through the bark one and a half inches long ana another across ita top. so that both together will resemble tho let ter T. Then taking a shoot from the tree we wish to bud from, enter the edge of a very sharp thin bladed knife half an inch above the bud to be removed, slicing of! with it a narrow strip of bark, with a very small thin shaving of wood directly be neath the bud ; the whole portion removed being nb ut one inch anet a quarter long. Then raise slightly the upper portion of tho upright edges in the cut, and rr rv gently insert the edges of the bark of the hud beneath these upright edges, down to the bottom of the cot; in doing so hold ing on to the leaf stalk of tho oud, the leaf being first removed. Cut off square with the cross cut above any of the uark of tho bud which may bo too long. Non wind white wool yarn firmly aBd evenlj around the stock so as to press closely th? moist side of the bark and wood of thc sliced bud to the moist surface of thc wood of the stock in the cut, and covei completely from the air the cut parts, ont j leaving the bud itself untouched and ex posed to the light. Just before, tho yan begins to cut into tho bark-in the peacl about ten days or two weekH, the apple i little laUr-it must he loosened and re wound the same as before; being re moved for good when commencing to cu again. In two weeks, if the bud ha taken, it will be plump and fresh ; if not wiil be dried, when tho budding can h repeated. The bud can be forced ti shoot tho samo season if put in early, b; cutting off the stock ono foot above a soon as it has fairly taken, keeping al other shoots rubbed off. While it is very doubtful whether an; written communication can be made suffi ciently plain to enable a nsw hand to pu in buds correctly, it is quite certain thea two articles present the main points to b observed in performing the process. My practical experience, however, doe not entirely approve all tho suggestion made by either of the writers. Fur iu ntaiiv o, the "bag matting" or tho "yar string" may answer very well as a bane age, yet in their absence the bark of mulberry sprout, a strip of cloth, or th bark peeled from a peach tree sprou answer jUBt as well. Another moro important item ia nt mentioned by either of these writers, an that is, what shall bo done with the stri of wood cut off with the bud ? Tho su: face to which you wish to apply yoi bud ts round, but the surface of your bu is flat, which would decrease the chr.uci of getting the bud to live. To -v ..cc! this difficulty : when you cut yoe: bu from its place, turn ita flat side np, hob ing it between the thumb and forefing of 'ho loft hand, with the thumb nail i tb* right hand gently press the bat downward from the wood, then inse your knife blade between the wood ar bark, with the right thumb on the ww and peel out the wood. Then you ha1 two anrfacea that will fit each other, ai the chances of securing a living bud increased ten fold. The propriety of r moving the wood from the bud is ve seriously questioned by some fruit gro ors, and these writers may belong to th dec*. Among other objections they say tl bud may grow, but will not bear fru This is certainly not true as to peachi for I have buds growing and bearing fine Anita as the country affords. Ai the same course ?B practiced by all t fruit buddera of my acquaintance, a: j thu success of many of them is ov< whelmingly established by the samp! lately exhibited at the Anderson Fs And this reminds ns that there is at tl time a very considerable awakening the subject of fruit .-owing among c farmers. And surely, if any one class preference to another has a prescripti right to enjoy the improved juicy flai nf Inn Mtfu *Vnt? f.nn.^ lt ia ?1.? Ayngu and if he fails to secure the delicacy the lovely Beatrice, the Loise, the Chi Cling and an host of others, it is his o fault. The process of budding is artistic, n chanical end scientific, and hence w adapted as a source of pleasure as w as profit, to every variety of mind. \ have known ladies and boya to perfo ?Vj. pj^jj^j. cr budding correctly w: .sae, dispatch and neatness. Every mi woman and boy on a plantation shot immediately acquire the knowler necessary to perpetuate the growth fine fruits. The most expeditious m< of mastering the process, is to witness \ operation by sams moderately ski! person.
