Our friend* of thc IuleUigcnrer have beeb imposed upon bv a niixi?re.; of truth and error. In tba South the char? actor? of Davis and L*e ?re greatly admired, be.cattso our people know thfjr ??re pure and oub?a patriots who joined tlisir pa?p?o io contecdi&g foi- tho thewy of constitutional liberty which they believed was right. They were groat men whose grand qualities the whole world admires, and hiattry to day accords them credit for the comest which they mad't against enormous odds. They with the Southern people submitted their theory to the award of battle, and the decision waa made against ue. We ac cept thc interpretation which thia court of lust and highest resort has placed upon the government ol the Union, und tun now see that the decision was direct ed by that "Power which doelh all things well," fur it has opened up to the South u future prosperity and development which we could never have attained under the existing order of things for whicji we contended. Our people do not entertain the (colinga attributed to them towards Lincoln und Grunt. We do not mean that persons cannot be found v. ho entertain such ideas, for in isolated instances they can, just an mumerous instances can be lound in the North where people believe that Davis ia a human hyena without principle of tho instincts of hunns jity, and that Lee was a mousier without parallel. Dut the sentiment of the S uiii recognises Lin col? and Graut HS the two great expo muta of the principles ?mich triumphed We du not consider Lincoln a polished uian, but we recognize him as a great mind, with conscientious purposes rising lo a high order of patriotism from his ataud point. Iii his death the South suffered the greatest loss of tho late war. So fur from looking upon Graut as s butcher, thc South regard? him a? a humano soldier, who manifested real greatness in the nuble magnanimity he dirtpluyed in victory. Whatever of un kind feeling exists toward* Gen. Grant, grows out of the trouble, which his two administrations as President gave the South. Our friends of the Intelligencer ought to know tin np things without telling, and if they would only visit the South, aa Col. McClure of the Poiladel ph ia Time? did, they v.-mild arrive al the same conclusions he reached. There is a lively contest for# the post lion nt Cunyu issi oner of Agriculture under the new administration. Our Representative from this Congressional Dielrict, Hon. D.

The sale is lo take place as soon as consistent with the inteieat of the public service. Bimi lar urders were issued by Attorney Gen eral Gar.'aud."

EDITOR : Your roany readers throughout tho County have been greatly pleased at your management of the dis? cussion on the prohibition quonfiou, with its especial connection with the meeting of our last Legislature, and the actions of our Representatives in reference to it. The article of Meura. Towera aud Smith, exonerating you from all blame "and censure, waa all very well, .?nd certainly sela the matter cumplaiued of at rest ; but the readers of your paper know full weil that you have performed your whole duty in the premises, and that in its dis cussion you had done nothing more than your duty as a journalist. From every friend of ihe cause you will receive the plaudit of "well done." The reasons assigned for opposition to the petition, and a failure to push il through, are rather amusing to au out sider than otherwise. Gue Representa tive say-, in the same article in which he discusses the proper translation and in terpretation of (he Rna I ma of David, ufler apeakiug id the petitions and their circulation and signing, that "auch au expression of opinion would not warrant a Representative mun to favor th* Rill." So the petitions were all right, so fur ns their make up and signing wai concerned, b>jt happened to be junt a little too weak to wurrnnl this particular Representative man to favor the measure. Thia ia cer tainly cool and complimentary lo the t* elvo hundred and nine petitioners. As much as to say, you petitioners ask to be Allowed hy law to regulato your ono tocal affairs, but I am n Repr?sentative, mun, und your prayer is beneath uiy notice, and will nut even justify me in favoring the Rill. Now, Mr. Editor, tao brazen elTrotilery of such talk fastet a the conviction upon the mind that such a Representative is the "lirpretentat'ue man" of his own contracted ideas, and that if ho bas any ^supporters in this mutter they exist only in h ir, unordered imagination. Agaiu it is said, thut in the judgment of one of our Representatives, the repeal of the Local Option Law would be unwise and inexpedient. Twelve hun dred and ni ne petitioners think not. They oelieve if allowed to regulato the matter for themselves by tho votes of the people they can materially improve that law. This Representative thinks not, and therefore iguores the petition. Thi ?unie Representative, when a correspnn- , dent criticises bia migratory life in aearch of office, says that tho correspondent certainly did not understand what "wan due from one mau to another." Aud I waa inclined to agree and sympathize with bim, but when be serenely sets up uis judgment in oppositiuo to the com bined judgment of twelve hundred and uine petitioners, and then acts upon hi? own, it is certainly clear that bo has no c inception of what ia due from one mau to another, or from a Representative lo tba people whom he represents. The Local Option L'w is not the matter under discussion, but if it was, much might be aaid against it. Under ita operations the revenue realised from the ?ale of whiakey cornea principally oil of the people of the country, and goea entirely to build up incorporations. To ibis ia added annually a very considera ole amount iu the way of fioea from the people of the country, in consequence of the use of whiakey. If the people nf the country, therefore, bear the burden, why not allow them to have aaloona at any and every place in the County they see proper ? To the objection that there could be no police regulations in the country to preserve the peace, it may he well answered that men go to Anderson and become intoxicated, and start for home well armed with jugs and bottles of whiskey to keep up and augment the intoxication, and though the police may sput and watch them, yet they manage to pass the limits of the city, and then upon every highway our wives and daugh ters are subjected to the unmanliness, i'decency and insults of the intoxicated, both white and colored. It could not be much worse if sold every where. But to 'dincusB thia ia not my purpose, and I therefore ask pardoo for the digression. So far na .tho Democracy of Anderson County becoming split and disrupted upon this question is concerned is, to my mind, one of the most improbable con clusions imaginary. The principle which unites and cements us together political ly la too pure, too full of devotion to homo aud country, and the motives which prompt and actuate the people to bold and act together are too important and grand tu admit of severing by this or any similar local question. Neither are the people to be deterred from regulating their owo local u fia i ra by the whims and croaking* of politicians to desist lest they split the party. This question of prohibition the peo ple of the County are going to decide for themselves. It is one of the coming events. It is like the current of a migh ty river, grandly moving onward, and though fur?* abort time its progress may be impeded, it is all the while gathering additional strength, power and velocity for ita future progress. Having nothing to do either with the circulation of the petitions or their management, I am not apprised, except by mere intimation as to what course those having the matter in charge will pursue In its future management. As authority ef law is neceas*ry tn mik any action of the people binding, and as thia was the ead sought by the petitions, a id ls the usual and most'direct way of attaining the object In view, I am lo fa vt E* of renewing the petitions and swelling the number of petitioners until even ts "Representative man'* will not only feil "warranted to favor" it, bul coe/mined to grant the request. This may be easily and pleasantly done by holding meetings over the County during the lammer, and allowing a f?ll, free and fair disciw-iun of the subject befara the people. It ie one of those question* th at, beare discussion and improves bj; it . like pore gold,, th? m tire it is refined the brighter it ahinca. Itt le one of the coming event? ?bet caa afford to bide in lime, end bear crash log and ignoring by etea Representative mon, bot ls boo nd .to become the rule und law th thin County. * V . , ' .

Deli cate i.ealth prevents her from going out much, and her daughters have often to receive calls and ducharge all the uncial duties for her. Senator Bayard's eldest daughter was murried two years ago to Mr. Samuel Warren, of Boston, and the second daughter, Miss Kalie Bayard, a very slender aud vivacious blonde, ia the member of the family most seen. She ia a graceful girl and a brilliant talker, but dresses always in sums peculiar and ex traordinary way, thu eccentricities of ber hate and headgear having long been famous.

Senator Bayard ia a great friend cf Senator Fair, ihe Nevada millionaire of divorce and other notorio ty, and Senator Fair ia constantly giving dinners and theatre parties for the Bay ard daughters. The Delaware Senator has also a great fancy for the people of the sock and buskii, and it was he who joined Mrs. Langtry when she went to the Senate gallery, and after chatting with her for awhile there, escorted her through the building on a sight seeing tour, and finished the afternoon with a little lunch at the restaurant.

This cannot be traced to any authentic nource, but on the other limul, none who should knuw the fact? are found to deny it. It can be said that when the subject of Sherman's retirement wa? referred to in caucus the other day, the colloquy which ensued between Sher man and Morrill wa? kindly in tone, each profe??iug sincere personal e-teem for the other. The only reason brought forward for the retirement of Sherman was his belief that thc intere?ta of hi? conntiiuents were not fairly considered in the action of the Committee upon the wool tariff.
