Three hail storms occurred up in Reed Creek District in this County on Sunday? Dr. Mathews, who was up in that section, brought a bucket of hailstones to town with bim. He says the ground was cov ered to the depth of two or three inches in places. The hailstones were the largest wo have ever seen, measuring 2$ inches in diameter when first gathered. They were fully an inch and a half in .diameter wben he arrived in town, and tho storm was fully eight miles from here. We also hear of a very destructive hail storm near Mrs. Knox's, which cut corn, cotton, ?kc., all to pieces. Late in tho evening, we had con si de rab lc hail and rain, in town, but as far as we bave learn? ed no damage bas resulted except the blowing dowu of wheat and oats. We ?re satisfied that heavy hail storms raged in many sections of thii and nd! ni mn g couuties, and have no doubt but that in calculable injury has been done to the crops. This ts greatly to be deplored, aa the prospect for tbo growing crops' was very fine, and the people were very much cheered in consequence. Dr. Mathews was over in the bail storm track on Monday, and as we anticipated the crops in pisces were entirely ruined. Some of the planters have turned their stock into their crops, not being worth further attention. Ho brought liack a quantity of cotton and corn stalks, fruit nnd boughs of trees which bear the marks of thc fearful storm. The hark on trees was split and bruised as if by an axe, and fruit trees stripped of their fruit. It is said that the storm extended as far as Anderson, B. C.? and on that side of the river wes much mere disastrous than on this side, the trees having tbe appearance of mid-winter, being stripped of their foliage, and not a stalk of cotton or corn but what ?B barren of leaves or blades. Tho boards on some of tho bouses were split by the hailstones. Jeff Crocker picked up a hail stone near Hutton's Ford that measured 3} inches in diameter. The crons in thai section wero nearly entirely ruiner! Over on the other side of the river, at Capt. Kidd's, the hail beat the crops into the ground and killed every goose he hnd.-Hartwell Sun. A VI81T TO COLUMBIA COUNTY. Sunday afternoon a heavy storm of rain, accompanied by considerable wind, passed over Augusta, but no dam.t^e was m(iicted beyond the flooding of the streets. Above the city, however, the storm-king gave evidence of his power iu a fearful manner, and, as we write, de molished houses, ruined crops, and pros trate trees and fences mark the path of his fury. The greater portion of the damage was inflicted upon Columbia county, but a part of Richmond suffered also. As far as we have been able to learn, the storm entered Columbia county about three o'clock, from the southwest, traveling nearly in a northeasterly course. We have not yat learned the exact point at which it entered the county, but it is supposed that it passed some distance north of Luther, the terminus of the Goodrich Railroad. Passing onward through the Reeves settlement* it de stroyed nearly every building and up rooted most of tho trees, COMPLETELY ULOCKADING THE ROADS, And rendering all traveling impossible except to pedestrians. Crossing Head stall creek, it struck the plantation of Mr. Newsome, demolished every build ing orrstbe place, except bis dwelling, und partially unroofed that, destroyed all hin fencing, and utterly mined his crop.' 'At this point a destructive hail storm commenced,, and followed the truck of the tornado, extending over a jemewhat wider area, and inflicting in calculable damage to the timber and growing crops. Leaving Mr. Newsome's, the tornado struck the plantation of Mr. John. Adams. On his place was & small building used for a Sunday School, un der . the g superintendence . of Mr. Robert Mercer.; Thc echoluts and.teachers bad just assembled, when the storm in all its destructive fury, burst upon them, and in an instant tho house was a complete wreck, - v BURYING ALL ITS INMATES In the ruins. Two boys, aged respective ly seven and ten years, sons of Mrs. Al - len, a widow lady of tho neighborhood, wore taken out dead, having been in stantly, killed. Mr. Josoph Walker, a young man in the employ of Messrs. Neal ? Faucet';, was, it is feared, fatally injured. A li?do daughter of Mr. Jobu Adams had her band badly crushed. Miss Celia Adams was struck down by some of tho falling timbers, and received several very severe bruises. Most of the injuries received by others were of a trifling, nature, and Borne few, incredible as it may seem, escaped entirely unhurt. It is also reported that a Mrs. Newman was killed near Harlem. These are all tho casualties to life and limb that we have boen able to ascertain. Mr. Wm. Smith's plantation was badly damaged, Connell, Lewis Conne??, Martin Whit aker and some- others, while Mr. Mat Whitaker lost everything ho possessed. The track of the tornado appeared to bo about haifa mile wide. . Advancing with ? , terrific force toe storm struck Berrvlia at about 3 o'clock, p. m., completely wrecking the fine grove ot trees below the station, prostrating the fences and crops in the vicinity, and then extended in a south-east direction on either side of. tho road to the fourteen mile post, wb jre it left the railroad and nlunaed into the woods eastward. All along the line between these points the TRACK OF THIS CYCLONE, If such it proves, is plainly seen-trees ara torn pp by the roots or twisted off; corn and cotton blown out of tho ground, and the debris of all scattered broadcast over tho country. A most pitiable sight it is to see the industrious farmers look ing over their stricken fields, which havo cost HO much care and labor, and a few_ days ago gave such bright promise ox plentiful harvests. At Benella,'Mr. Henry Merry's crop was almost totally destroyed. At Mr. Wm. Rcauey's place, near Harlem, the storm swept everything before it. Trees were uprooted and cotton and corn laid pmatrrJ*. in tbo fields. At Mr. Oliver's Cl ace, rear Beraelia, window glass was roken by the bat?, trw cut to pieces and crops destroyed. The same thing occurred at Boston's Kolbflelach'a and Brook's. Coming on down tho road in a track about THULE MILE? WIDE The storm ?wept everything before it. Trees wern prostrated, corn and cotton eui io (Mecca ?nd tho ground itftwU willi boughB and learee of irte?, clipped off by the trail, Which is said to have been enormous. Some parties say the stones were as large as a man's fist, and crashed through the fields of corn like minio balls, cutting large Btalks, sn inch ia diameter, to the ground, and strewing the furrows with them until the fields looked as if thc reaper with hisecylho had passed along. Trees were Uprooted and hurled with violence against houses and fences. At th? sixteen mile ??Ost a freight car was BLOWN FROM TUB ThlCK. The hail' stone?) which came down as thick as rain drops, penetrated into the houses through the panes of glass, and in one instance that wo beard of, through the blinds, lt is said that at one place a bushel of hail stones were gathered from the floor of a room. Coming on down tho Georgia Railroad the storm struck Mr. Thomas Wynn's place, a half mile above Bersclia, and in a moment his largo cotton gin manufactory FELL BEFORE THE WIND, Burying beneath the ruins a quantity of valuable machinery and forty new gins. One end of the building, which was a two story wooden structure, 100 feet long by 40 feet wide, was blown out and car ried clear across tho creek, a distance of about twenty yards. The gins, which had recently been completed, were val? ued at one hundred and fifty dollars each. Mr. Wynn says he may be able to con struct one gin from the wreck of every three, but lt im impossible as yet to say, es everything is buried beneath the debrit of the building. Besides the destruction of the manufactory and contents, Mr. Wynn suffered considerably from tbe de* molition of his crop and fencing. Cotton and corn were cut down even with the ground. Fencing was blown a distance of forty or fifty feet. Mr. Wynn and his, wife had been out riding, and had just arrived at home when THB STORM BURST UFON THEM, Mr. Wynn was in the stable unhnr nessing bis home, and Mrs. Wynn was irj the dwelling. In an instant the tornade raged around them io all its fury. Three huge trees were uprooted in the yard between tho stable and the house. Mr and Mrs. Wynn, separated by these bar' rinnt, each thought the oihci had beet killed until the storm subsided sufficient ?for Mr. Wynn to get to the dwelliug carriage, which was in the factory, wai demolished. Mr. Wynn estimates hi lot? at from $8,000 to $9,000. He is lei entirely without means in his old age and will be unable to remove the debri of his factory and put np a temporar structure usie?? Le receives assistance He will be thankful for any aid either ii provisions or labor. After lea?ing Mr. Wynn's place th Btorm went in the direction of the Ba vaonah Biver, which it crossed at th Locks. Near the latter it swept over M ? W. H. Howard's plantation like a besot of destruction. Nearly all the cotton o two hundred acres was ruined. In som instances it was cnt down level with th ground: in others the stalks- wei stripped of leaves and small boughs an left standing bare and scarred. A pin thicket was cut to pieces as if it had bec between two contending armies, many < the trees bearing large indentatloi where the huge bail stones had strucl Corn was struck down to the furrow The hali stones were as large as goo: c-ggs and fell with great force. M Howard estimates his loss at not lc than $2.000. Mr. Frank Beale'n plant tion, near Mr. Howard's, was also in tl path of the storm and suffered fearful! We understand that Mr. Beale expects i PLOW HIS FIELDS Over again, and plant peas, as he do not consider it worth while to leave tl remnants of the com and cotton. Messrs. Geraty & Armstrong, who hw a place near the Locks, lost considerab by the storm. The crops were badly c up and several houses were blown dow including n barn, Crossing the river the storm play havoc in the Currytown settlemer Several plantations wero devastated.

PURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE Wi AND HAIL TORNADO. From every portion of the devasU regions come saddening details af fi day's cyclone. At Mr. Henry Mer place, in Borrelia, the clour**, Jeep angry, came from the southeast ana ] ci pi tated a storm of about two mini duration, accompanied by a deader roar. So comolete was the rapid T. that fields of corn, which but a few n Utes before gave every pr?5?*?? w? m ?i yield, were cut through and strippe their blades ; cotton plants were denw and many fields require close exam tion to show that anything nt all been planted. Fruit trees laden with peen fruit \ blown down or broken off, and the j scattered. Fences completely demo! ed. The destruction to the shade forest trees is Immense. Mr. Mei cmp is totally destroyed, and many era are in tho same condition ; and, tal the season in consideration, the loss t be vreater than from ihe cyclon* Ma -cb, *76-for farmers have not now to start over and replant, and a have not the means to do so if could. 8ome of tho farmers who not sufferers have sent help to xhosa were.

The crdps, which the day before were unprecedentedly good, were in many cises entirely de stroyed. We learn that the fields which wero in the tasseling and silking state, are now as bare as they were in mid winter. Orchards have been stripped of fruit and foliage. In some instances the storm destroyed portions of crops on cer tain farms, while other portions were only partially injured. Hail stones, varying in sice from that of a buckshot up to a goose egg? were picked up after the storm was over. Some marvelous talcs of injury to persons who were caught out in the storm have reached us. It is also stated that horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, etc., Buffered terribly. Mh Enoch Smith measured ode bau stone which was NINE INCHES IN CIBCTJMFERENCK. He assisted in measuring another _u .- -L_i_i# :_i_ i_ IT. nuitu noa uucuaii muu Jtuftd. UV also states that Mr. W. G. Bryant, of Riddleville, informed him that ne meas ured some hailstones after the storm passed which measured 16 and 17 inches, and were as large as a child's bead. The glass in the windows of the dwelling ol W. C. Biddie are said to have been broken out by the hail ; and his crop almost utterly ruined. Messrs. H. H. Holmes, Minor Bass, J. Rogers, Eben Smith, Thomas B., Wm. and Enoch and Mrs. Nancy Smith and many others har? Buffered terribly. Mr. J. T. Cook, neat Tenniile, estimates his loss in his com crop alone at 1,000 bushels. About f {?. m. of the sara* day another cloud brmed, near the sanie point where iht Ptorm began in the morning, and moved northeast across the npper end of tb? county, unroofing houses, and in som? instances blowing down small housei and outbuildings. Fences were blowi dorvn and trees were uprooted and piler, across each other in such quantities as t< seriously damage the crops and preven further plowing. This cloud also pourei out hail in tremendous quantities. The storm at Tpnmll? commence* about 7 a. m. The crops were al moa completely ruined. One of the sufferer said that before the storm he would hav refused an offer of twelve bushels of con to the acre on his crop ; now he consider it ruined, and does not Bee how it wi! make anything, certainly not half a cror Cotton generally was otripped to th stalk. About 8 p. m. another storm, wit wind and hail, visited Sessions, Boan wright, Martin and others, blowing al or nearly all, of Martin's limber down. A correspondent of the Sandersvill Courier, writing from Snu Hill, says: "The hail storm which passed throng this section yent^rdsy morning, at 7 : i o'clock, was'about six miles wide ; tl damaging portion being from one-ha to a milo, passing through the farms .

A correspondent of the Savannah Nea writing from Tenniile, says : "About seven o'clock yesterday mor ing (Sunday) this section was visited 1 the most severe and destructive hail ai wind storm that the'oldest inhabitanl ever Baw.

Another correspondent, writing to from Davisboro, concerning the 1 severe bail storm which took place Sunday last, aays: "At about 8 o'cl yesterday (Sunday) morning our sect though of onlya few minutes durati was remarkable for the immense si? the atones which fell. At Riddlevi six miles southwest of here, we are formed by reliable parties that iii stones fell as large as a man's two f and some parties, who . are regarder] truthful, assert positively that they stones fall as large as a peck meas An acquaintance of ours, and a reih man, states ho weighed two of the st< five minutes after they fell, and t weighed in the aggregate two pount an average-of one pound each. F the best information we can get, storm extended over an area of sev milcst and in many sections did cons! able damage to the corn and cotton ci We are happy to state, however, thi ls thought that no damage was don? crops in this immediate vicinity. L quantities of rain have already fa and the prospects are that we will rec much more in a short while." IN EDQEFIELD.

The Laurensville Herald speaking of the Btorm says t A destructive nail, -vind und rain-Btorm visited portions ol this County on lost Sunday afternoon, That portion which Buffered most from bail was . In the neighborhood of Warrior Creek Church. Entire fields of cotton were literally ruined, fruit was beaten from tho tiecs and uncut oats much dam aged,, by being tangled ana beaten out. The lower portion of the County waa visited, on same day, by a terrific storm, of wind and rain, uprooting and blowing down numbers of t^ees. A great deal of fencing was also blown down.

A Terrible Mine Disaster. i A frightful mining disaster is ?reported from England. At Evan:-.wood Fit Col liery an explosion of fire-damp occurred, causing a loss of at least 250 and proba-, bly over 800 lives. A force of over three hundred men were at work in the pit ?..hen the explosion took place. All are supposed to be. lost. The imm?diate cause of the explosion is not known/ bot it is enppoeed that the exposure of si miner's lamp ignited an accumulation of fire-damp in one of the galleries. Tho outside workers at the ridns were startled by a Blight rumbling beneath the ground? A little gust of smoko and flame shot from the shaft, and the thud of a masa of falling coal announced that a terrific; explosion ul ure-aainp aaa occurred in the mine, and that the men in the pit were in all human probability either in stantly killed or imprisoned by debris, to die of suffocation. The news spread rapidly, and in a few minutes the mouth of the pit was surrounded by hundreds of men, women ard children, tho fami-i lies of the doomed miners. A hasty in vestigation snowed that the months of the galleries opening into the shaft werej blocked, as had been feared, with heaps of coil, earth and timbers, and the snafu was BO filled with gas and fire-damp thad an attempt at a r*".cns ?TGu!d have been a reckless waste of life. The deadly gases, driven back in the galleries by tho shock, bad flowed u?uk uv? Glied every, crevice with noxious vapors and smoko, It was realized at once that the imprisi oned miners were beyond all human aid; The most agonizing scones followed the announcement. Women ran frantically. In every direction, weeping and shr?ek-j ing for their husbands, sons and brothers. Repeated attempts were mae'e to effect an entrance to the mine, and finally a party succeeded in reaching one of the galleries and commenced the work of exploring for the dead. The work wis one of extreme danger and proceeded slowly. It waa pushed with all possible energy, relief parties succeeding one another at intervals of a few moments. At last the obstructions to the gallery where the er loslon occurred wire re moved BUhluiently to admit a pa;ty of bravo men, and almost immediately the discovery of bodies commenced. Most of them showed signs of having been killed by the shock, but others hon appa rently been only slightly injured *\y the explosion itself, ana had been suffocated by smoke and gas. The bodies lay ;n ail imaginable positions, and most of them were shockingly distorted. The bodies were lifted to the surface as fast as they were reached. The agonized hundreds around the mouth of the pit ] eagerly scanned each blackened face as it was drawn np, and the heart-rending; cries and exclaniations were heard on every Bide. Many of the men were so mangled and burned as to bo totally un recognizable, and differences of clothing, color of hair and otherpecoliarities were excitedly canvassed. Two hundred and fifty bodies have been taken out, and many more are believed to be yet in the pit. _ TELEPHONE, MICROPHONE AND TEL-! Eosoopt HONE.-In October Mr. Edison expects A3 complete his standard machine -a phonograph intended for the count ing-room. He is continually perfecting the phonograph. At it he works at least seven hours ?, day. Ke is also now ex perimenting with a new instrument that ne calls a-teleoscopophone. it is a sort, of ear trumpet which, when applied to the ear, enables one to hear distlactly the ordinary conversation of a man a mile distant. A gentleman who has tested oue of these instruments said : "I. applied one to my ear and could hear ?' man talking who was across a field, near ly a miie away, i heard every wora he Baid. Afterward ho seemed to raise his voice a little, and when I saw him after ward, he said that then he bad shouted at tho top of bia voice. There is no con necting wire here, as in tho telephone. Everything depends on the wonderful properties of the ear trumpet, which ia constructed on a radically diff?rent prin-. ciple from those that have been in pse so long. By this instrument it ia expected that deaf persons-except those who can't hear a cannon fired at their elbovr -may hear anything said on the stage at the theatre." 1 ' Mr. Edison has inventer1 an excellent telephone, but the microphone aa it is figured ant* 4escribed seems like a differ ent th?-- transmits sound from a speaker \.L may be some yards away, and docs not require th? voice to bo pro pelled through a mouth-piece. Ita con struction ia vastly more simple than any of the telephones. Two sticks of willow charcoal stuck into a board, and holding a third stick endwise between them, ia the whole of tho receiving apparatus in one of tho best forms. The problem of using the t?l?phone for reporting publia speak e. s, by sound, at a distance, should brassily solved by the microphone, which, it,is said, transmits the ordinary tones of the human voice over a short wire with such an Increase of force as to be disagreeably loud to the listener.

The phono graph is certainly ars exception to this rule. In its simpio mechanism no wires; ate coiled; behind its unique make-up uo galvanic buttery 16 masked. It con tents itself with playing battledbor and shuttlecock with the simplest acoustic waves of the air, and moves oniy with vibrations of sound. Tho supposition, therefore, that there is aught ot mystery or conjury about the "talking machino is altogether at error. A careful perusal of Edison's own description of this in vention, and a most interesting and in structive conversation with Col. George W. Rains, at his laboratory in the Meat ' cai Coiiege, enable a Chronicle and Von ett??twnattMl reporter to enlighten ocr readers this morning upon a very im portant subject. Colonel Rains, aa Usual, was ready to give the public bis views upon scientific matters, and we only wisb that our phonograph had been present to take down hts most interesting re marks; Tho fcnntruct-Hi af the rasChine ia simplicity itself. Around tho gloved cylinder is' fitted a smooth sheet of tin foil, upon which a spring presses the sharp point of the needle, making the grove in the tin-foil r.bout unlf tho depth uf ibo ihreod in ibo cylinder. Tuis( then, is the normal plane of the needle's point. Now, souud is nothing but air in motion, and when, by speaking over the diaphragm, the disk is made to vibrate, tbo drumhead strikes the needle, which {(tinctures the foil and springs back into ta normal plane, Until another sound is made ; ana so on to the completion of the sentence. Of course, the cylinder is turning, and presents a new surface to each indentation. Obviously, then, twa important properties of the machine are here utilized. First, that the vibrating plate ls capable of receiving a complex motion which correctly reprer.ehts the peculiar property of each and all tho mul tifarious vocal and other sound waves. Second, that such complex movements can be transmitted from this plato by means of a single embossing point at tached thereto, to effcot a record upon I plastic material by indentations, with such fidelity os to give these icdentatiom the same varied aud complex form. This done and .ve have caught the sound ; and photographed it upon sheets ol paper, giving, as has been frequently as* ?ertcu, Bi??tKJDvupiv T?UWB o? the voice, With a rooderate degree of intensity therefore, every shade of sound, variety of intonation, peculiarity of brogue, anc distinctness of enunciation can be caugh by the vibrating plato and punctum upon the sliding sheets below it-thc trembling pathos of a prayer, the mu mic of a sigh, the wail of despair, the will shout of delight or tho ringing quaver of the voice, as they ride tho swift oe taves of song.

Harder hy Revenue Officiels-A HMM Rim Dawn In Cold Blood. On last Sunday, the 6th institut, about 11 Jock, four Revenue officials by the names of Mouse (or K,oose,) Durham, Kano and Scruggs, (we do not knew their initials,) went to the house of Mra.Ladd, a widow lady, living in the mountainous section of this county, and brutally murdered ber son Amos Ladd. a young man, aged about 21 years.-We have not the full particulars of this most atro cious and fiendish murder, but will give briefly, only what bas come to us, as wa consider it, well authenticated, and re serve fuller particulars for a future time, when all the facts can be properly brought out. It appears that tho young man WM standing, or rather leaning, against tho door facing, when the Reve nue officers rode up, or walked np (we believe they Were Walking,) and delib erately shot him dead on the spot, with out a moment of warning or an inti mation of their designs. The young man foll out oi* the door lifeless, when the officials said to his brother, "who have we shot I" The reply was, "you have shot my brother." Tho officers tuon turned and left the house, but concealed themselves on a cunnii hill near tho house lu the brush, and remained there for some time, fur what purpose it is not known. They then went to the storo of Mr. King, some four miles off, when they endeavored to hire a conveyance to Easley Station. Mr. King told them that he could not carry them that even ing, but if they would walt until morr.'ns, he would carry them. This they said,' they could not do, ns they had business of importance to attend to and must go that night. They thou hired one mule from hH>i, and Kano rode rapidly for tho Station, pawing through this pi ace by a back way, about dusk, and arriving at Easley, Just in time to take tho 9 o'clock train going North. He gavo a negro ten; cents to carry the mule to the livery stable, with instructions to send it back to Mr. Baylis Hendricks, at tho place, where tho officials bad told Mr. King they desired the mnln tn virio tr? It appears that two shots were fired at Ladd, the first taking effect and killiug him, while the second missed. From: this fact, and the fact that Kano rode off Mr. King's mule, and left immediately or. the train, it is supposed ht did the killing. The other three went across the ccsstrj towards Greenville on foot, and this writing we know not where they ure. Mr. John L. Gravley came to town Sunday night and informed Trial Justice Taylor of the murder, who at once issued a warrant and placed it in the bands of the Sheriff and that officer at once start ed in pursuit cf the murderers. Mr. Gravley bi"J been informed tbat Hoff man was uno of tbs party, a sd was the only one known Ly the parties giving him the informa tion, but from Mr. King's statement, who knows tho men, it is possible that a mislakd vvr."j ?aase, ana *hat Honman was not with the party ; if he was, he did not go to King's store. When the Sher iff arrived at Easley he learned of the flight of Kane, and on Monday morning as soon as the Telegraph offices ware opened, sent off tho following message; EASLEY, BICKENS CO., S. C., June 10, 1878. To the Chief Police of Greenville, Spartauburg, Charlotte, and Columbia. A man by the name of Ladd was bru tally murdered in thia County yesterday by nvo Revenue officers, named Hoffman, Cain, Scruggs, Durham, and Mouse. They have fled. Look out foi- them. JOAB MAULDIN, 8. P.C. As above stated, it ls probable that there is a mistake as to Hoffman being with the party, but as to the others, there ia no mistake, fer Mr. King and others know them well.-It is likely, if. Kane kept on he had left Charlotte uofore the Sheriffs telegram reached that place, and may succeed in making good bis escape for tho time being. The others, we think tv il be captured. From all the facts gathered by us, we Erenounce thin the most fiendish, cold looded murder ever committed in this County. But we wiil refrain from fur ther comments until the case bas been properly investigated. Sinco the above was put in type. Sher iff Mauldin bas received the following telegram : "Kane, Scruggs. Durham and Mouse, surrendered lo tho Sheriff of Greenville." JNO. G. GBKEB, Chief Police. The Greenville New?, speaking of this, the surrender of the parties, says : Why they did not go to Pickens 0. H. and surrender to the Sheriff of that County, we are not informed. The reason may be, that they suppose at Greenville they may, like Deputy Marabel Springs dir!, a few days ago, for a similar outrace, give a bond, with negro sureties, for their appearance at Court.-Picken?

As I gazed upon thu picture with deepest interest, it suddenly became to me no longer the face of Charlotte Corday, bot the imper sonation of the genius of my own Pal metto State, persecuted, insulted, incar cerated by the mecenary and heartless stranger, and the false and traitorous renegade ; thus she stood peering through her prison bars, during all those dark days of which I have spoken ; pure and undefiled, without the crime, which 'makes the shame,' waiting with a calm endurance her hour of crucifixion, while still boping, almost against hope, fozthe hour of her deliverance. With a grate ful and joyful heart I turned away, re membering that the prison bars had al ready been broken, and the accptre of pare and honest government already re stored v to her hands.

EDITOR: There ?ever babeen a time in the history of the Democratic party of thu SStato wheo unity was more I esseutial to ihe success of the party, and' ! the full and completa redemption of tho ? State, that? the present? It ie too hue in ! the day to propose ooalHioo, or measures) looking to coal.tlon, with the Republican ; party of thia Bute for cor final and com,-: plete success in the great work of re-; j form. Whether wisely or unwisely; the disheartened Democracy of thia State hare In the dark past abundantly tried such coalition to become thoroughly con vinced that there Was no hope of any re form by tho aid of the Republican party, as a party. Hence, the Democracy \ymja driven by the sheer force of circumstan ces to adopt the only way of escape ?from evils inconceivable, by hoisting thc ban I ner of atraightout Democracy, (tinder ? the lead of Hamptop,) and. making a determined and united assault OR'the; strongholds of roguery and rascality J And how valiantly we succeeded tho his tory of the last campaign abundaojiyi shows. Wbilo ItwasaBtraight-OBt^ghtJ yet the platform upon which we made the campaign was broad enough to ad-! mit every honest, man in tho State, upon its foundation, whether Republican, or Democrat. Bo will it be again in'4he present campaign. But any measurb oi course of action calculated in the, re motest degree lo weaken our party or ganization at the present tim?is tobt especially deprecated. And why f J3e cause a failure to nuceecd in the present canvass, either in tho legislative or exec utive departments of our State govern ment would be tantamount to giving up all that we gained in tho desperate strug gle of Atbo preceding campaign, and, en tail irretrievable ruin upon the people,ol the State in the future. Even Gov Hampton deems the maintenance of oui party unity of so much consequence jr. the present struggle, that ho public!j Warned the people in. his Anderapi speech to berv'oreof independents, nnd tt frown down any attempt to divide o distract the Democratic part*' of tin State on local issues. But, say some our last Democratic Legislature did cow things we did not like, and omitted.t do other things which we think shouli have been done. If tbe people general ly think so, of course through the appU anees of the D?mocratie party they ca easily change their representatives willi out in the least disturbing tho harmon of the party. Perhaps, under the eli cumstances, it might bo better to do ai and send a fresh delegation, right *VQ! the body of the people, to represent tbei in the next Legislature. Where wo ar as a people, undergoing such rap] changes in our sentiments und neceai ties, perhaps this policy might bo tl best. But we will tako the occasic rirht har?, OBS? for al!, io say for Oti selves, that we can never hope to choo a delegation more faithful to thoir tru than the old one has been. Errors tL< may have committed, mistakes they mi have mado; but any person who wi take the troublo to scrutinize the goner course of our representatives from fir to last during the last two years, mc come to the conclusion that these gent! men were faithful, conscientious PA honest in the discharge of public trot confided to their keeping. Aye, fello citizens of Anderson, look to their fid< ity in the trying ordeal through wbi they were called to pass lu the very Ina guration of the Hampton government Columbia. Look ai that forlorn hp] surrounded as they were by the myra dons of Grant and Chamberlain, marc lng in a body to the State House, a armed with no other weapon of defoe than the inward consciousness of ti holding, as God would gi r o ibsaa strong tho honor and rights of an outraged ct atltuency, in the face of dangers t most appalling, and with their lives, it were, offered as a sacrifice on the ali of their country's good, if need be. 1 people of the State never can, nci ought to forgot, the gallant bearing Hampton and the Democratic Legis ture, under the most trying ciremmtj cea that ever confronted a tcgisiat body in the history of the world. Tl carne through the fiery ordeal with tl: honor unscathed, their fidelity, unqc doned, and their sagacity, aud prudet and wisdom, as if inspired from abc the admiration even of their polit enemies. Shall We permit light ? trivial mistakes, comparatively, co. nv ly local issues, to overwhelm a rcco? tion of their general fidelity t < forbid. But before we close we will vive A reasons why we consider the Democr party in moro danger in tho presente paign than the last. It ia goner conceded that the Radical party make no opposition to Hampton and State ticket, and will confine their eil to the County elections. Now, wo remember two years ago what a wo., ful power on the masses was posse by rallying on Hampton in oppoaitio Chamberlain. The pressure was sog in the contest for State officer* th* required no effort to bring every vs man to the rescue, together with tl Mandu of neernea. With nn nrawul to Hamptou7thU motive power "wi i withdrawn, and the people are liabl forget that even Hampton as Gove would he powerless for good unless ported by a legislative body of like liUcal sympathies with himself. Ht ton is perfectly safe now, but take of tho Legislature.
