MATCH GAMS: OF BASE BALL.
On Saturday, 24th inet., a return game of Base
Ball was played between the first nines of the Pal?
metto and Alert Baso Ball Clubs. At tho first gamd
of thc serios of tbrco played between these Clubs,
in July, it will be recollected that the Palmettos
were declared the winners by two runs, and it was
their good fortune to bo the victors on this occa?
sion also ; although playing with the disadvantage
of putting in tho field but eight men against the
full first nino of the Alorts, and having to substi?
tuto tlrroo men from their second and third nines
to lill the places of absontees. The game was
tlu-oughout the most exciting which hos evor been
played in this city, and was witnessed by about
fifteen hundrod people, among whom were some
of our most prominent citizens. The game was
called at 3.15 P. M., the Palmettos going first to
the bat. Whero all played well lt will not be taken
amiss to notice the excellent play of DAVIS and
TUOHEY, of the Alorts, and JONES and BELDEN, of j
thc Palmettos, the latter dosing and winning the
game by a splendid fly-catch at right field. An?
nexed is the full score of the game :

The Convention.
[From the Darlington Southerner.]
It will be held, not wit hs Undine the clamor that
ls raised against it. If the whites should de?
termine to renounce all participation in recon?
struction upon tho basts of the congressional plat?
form, tho consequence will be that tho froedmen
Till take up the power that has been BO unwisely
mrrendcred to them. Many of the white people
ntend to vote "no Convention,", in order to block
ip tho only aperture through which the South can
?cape from present and future calamities. Be it
so, it' nothing else will suffice-if madness must
.ule tho hour, let all prepare for the Btorm in the
lest way they can. For confiscation, if it comos
lt all, will not como alone All the dogs of war
viii bo turned looso, and not an eye w?rbe found
a pity thoso who will not pity themselves. This
s absolutory inviting confiscation.
Yet these very writers object to the Convention,
br fear of confiscation 1 They charge upon tho
perjured Southerners " and negroes, that will
:ompose it, an utter recklessness of all that is just
ind honorable, and assume that they will luxuriate
n every wrong, that wicked men flushed with pow
;r could perpetrate. Would it bo possible that it
:ould perpetrate a more egregious and bloody
oil v than secession has proven itself to be ?
But, examine tho matter, and eeo if there is
?ally any danger, after all. As to mere power,
be freedmen und perjured Southerner," have had
t tor two years-has anything occurred, that
could justify tho uncharitable suspicions as to
rhat they will do hereafter?
Let it bo remembered that this Convention will
neet to provide for the distant future-not to
match a present advantage, to be held by tho
enure of power, without principle. That would
ie the title of the robber. Something far moro
lubstantial will bo aimed at that will be in bar?
oon v with just principles, recognized and respect
id by tho civilized world. Right and wrong will
>e the great landmarks by which they will steer,
or there are no others that can long sustiin the
iuperstructure of any government. Tho froedmen
?cry well know that what they might gain by in
qui ty could be taken away in the same manner,
x ia a well established fact that thieves never get
ich, and that the surest and shortest way is to be
tonest. The experience of all past time has dc
uoii8trated this fact, and it has not to be learned
,t the present day.
Let it bo remembered, that this Convention is
o t o heidi as a part of the Congressional plan of
oconstruction. It will act under tho supervision
f Congress, which bas assigned to it certain dn
ies, which on the one hand are not to be omitted,
r on tho other, exceeded. Any action beyond the
mit? assigned to it by Congress, will be consid
red as objectionable, as the omission of, a duty
pecially assigned. The great purpose of the
Convention will be to secure tho political equality
f tho citizen, without distinction of race or color.
.lie freedman, who has just been introduced into
he ranks of freemon, requires some guaranty as
0 bis future condition. This, and this only, is
he legitimate object to be effected-and to be
ure that this limit is reached, and not surpassed,
Congress has reserved to itself the right to ex
mine tho Constitution whioh shall ho adopted,
nd accept or reject it, according as it may or
nay not conform to the plan of reconstruction
riiich has been prescribed. The Convention
3 not to fly off into every field of wild, political
xperiment, wbicb the young advocates of untried
beor?es may suggest, but they are to be con Unod
n tho specific object above stated-and any con
tituHcn departing therefrom will be rejected,
"bereis too much profound statesmanship in the
Congress of the United States, to commit the
ature government of ten States of the Union en?
tirely to the deliberation of inexperienced
linds. The result might be, that the work of
uch bodies would be disastrous to the whole
oun+xy, and effectually destroy all hope of its
iture prosperity. Constitution-making is a dan
crous privilege, and is to be used with tho utmost
tuition-hence, a check has been wisely placed
pon tho powers of the members, so that no tam?
iko shall bo commiti od that can be irreparable,
'he work is to be examined by Congress-and if
; come up to tbs requirements set forth in tho re
onstruction measures, it will ne accepted-and if
ot, it will bc returned for amendment,
It is plain that "confiscation" is not ono of the
uties that has been assigned-for if it had been
?ought to be expedient, Congress would have pro?
dded for it long since. If confiscation, in plain
irma, bas not been enjoined, neither will it be
smutted, in disguise-and intolerable taxation is
iat di.- guise. Carno, that does not dare to walk
?eel, will not be permitted to crawl in insidiously,
very thing must bo called by its right name, and
is idle to supposo that mero astuteness will ox
ect to carry out improper ends by tricks of leger
emain. That will scarcely be tolerated in a court
ouse-never will be in a grave deliberativo as
.mbl v, mot together to consult the interests of a
reat nation. If confiscation cannot be perpetrat
1 under its own name, neither can it under any
Lher-for it is the substance, and not tho form,
iat will be considered.
First, as to the policy of such a measure. It
ould be the triumph of power over weakness
in any justly balanced mind consent to tho ea
iblisbment of such a principle, a principle that re
ards what another has gamed by his own indus
ry but as tho lawful spoils of the stronger man 1
ince admit this as a principle, and the ouly socu
ity for title would bo th? strength of a partv, and
:s continuance in power. Look at the Democratic
arty, whero is n, now? where was it in I860? It
,as lived, and it his died, ro neat in g the history of
ll parties in all past time. The same epitaph re?
nault; to be written also over tho tomb ot the Hc
lublican party, which, at some uncertain time in
ho fnturo, must yield to tho same law of decay,
vhich enters into tho constitution of all earthly
iombinations for political or other purposes.
iVhen thia may bo no ono can tell, but it is
ncvitable, and such is tho genoral apprecia?
tion of its durability, by all right thinking
nen. Would any ono pay for a little laud that
vas to exist no longer than tito Republican party,
>r any other party did ? Yet such would bo tho
itle by confiscation. What bas become ol tho
:onfiscatcd property taken away from tho rightful
)wncrs during tho late war?" All gono back to
where the great principles of right and wrong do
;lared it should over remain. Tho morality of the
Uible is the only foundation upon which any title
;an rest securely, either in publio or private
ifiairs-tho eternal obligation of truth and even
land justice. When these form tho comor-stono,
the building may defy tho washing influences of
?imo or the rudo shocks of outward violence; and
ivithout these, all ill-gained prospority will perish
n tho grasp.
if tho landowner h is more than ho can oultivato,
vhatolse has he? Hos ho uot lost overvthing,
ind, have not tho freedmen gained everything?
Tho great boon they asked from Heavon was their
iberty- they have acquired it, and now bavo with
n their reach every temporal advantage they can
losire. They have the right to bold property-to
jara wages for their labor-to vote, to sit on ju?
les, to testify, to sue, to huid office, and, in every
^articular, occupy ptocisely tho samo situation
Thioh tho unfortunate whites now occupy, with
his important advantage, that poverty is no
ivretch^dness to them-they can holp themselves,
hoy know how to labor, their eyes can see bright
jictures in the future, tho world is for them, hope
s bright and cheering; while on tho othor band
he unfortunate white mau has no where to sit ex
:ept upon his land, and while ho looks, all these
n-tght pictures aro fast receding from him, a..d
:he light of hope is dying away, seemingly for?
ever. Ono has a futuro and tho othor has not-?
ino is able to contend with adversity, whilo thc*
at her ta too much enfeebled to do more than barely ^ ?
exist. The freedman's liberty has been purchased by
the whito man's ruin, and to all this ho has con?
sented, as tho punishment of his folly, in the vain
attempt to destroy the best of governments, with?
out a sufficient causo. Ho has subscribed the in?
strument, which binds him forever to acknowledge
thc privileges of the freedman, and in doing so,
surrendered $4.000,000,000, tho hard earnings of
his past life. Ho looks around, and sees nothing
left but his land, whilo he feels, that even with
this, that all is gono, and that he is little better
than a beggar at last. Now, to mako a raid upon
this remnant, is what confiscation proposes, an 1
this too, whilo the freedman is cultivating this
very land, on equal terms with the owner-he lives
on it and enjoys the fruits of his labor, protected
by equal laws, with nono to mako him afraid. In
many instances, they rent what they cultivate, and
the crop is all their ?wn. A bright futuro is before
them, wherein they can seo that their gradual
earning, will soon enable them to buy land, so
lc
that they can own it, fairly and hone&tly. V
moro is uoco8sary ?
I The present condition of things as to Vhe li
is what reuders tolerable the other great steril
that have boen consented to. There was at
arrangement-so felt and understood, thu
farther ?sacrifices would be required, and h
the ownor of the lands and the freedmen I
been quietly working together, each struc p
along to make tho best ont of their new relati
Confiscation, directly or indirectly, would be
as a violent outrage," and would drivo to desi
tion those who had but their lands left to tt
Ihese aro extremities in which life loses its vj
and death would bo accepted the moBt fortu
condition of the two. Is it good pc
to drivo on in that diroctiou, simply
cause we may have the power ? Surely no
a time when a general effort is making;
every direotion, to place comfortable ho
within eaBy reach, of every freedman who
work for one. Just here, around us tho plan
are renting out their lands, more and more, as
truth gradually dawns upon their minds, that
freedman can make more for himself and th
by renting, than in any other way. The com
yoar will show tho progress of this idea still
thor-and the time will come, when the plat
will be glad to surrender all his broad acres to
sinewy arms of his tenants, reserving to hims
only such portion as may be within reach of
own personal attention. That is the terminai
which all things are now tending; and it will t
happy time for all, when the planter and tho fre
man who onco lived with him upon other ten
can again cultivate the same soil, under nev.
lationB, which are entirely acceptable to both.
In addition to this, Congress is making
effort to open all the public lands in the South,
the occupation of the freedmen, upon free a
easy terms, so that no one can want a home of
cwn who is ambitious enough to desire one. Tb
are millions of acres that can be brought uni
the control of Congress, which an effort is n
making to dedicate to the purpose of pro vidi
homes for the homeless; and m this sentime
every one, probably both in the North and in t
South concur. The desire is, that the freedm
should be aided, in this praiseworthy obie
and tho public mind is now earnestly bc
in that direction. Should they refuse to w,
the development of these plans now in opel
tion tor their good, and snatch at lands 1
longing to others, oecauso they may suppose th
have the power, tho general sentiment now in tin
favor would be chilled, if not destroyed, and pow
would be met by power as secession was. 80 mm
as to tho impolicy of attempting anything in tl
nature of confiscation by the convention about
bo called. All these considerations will recei
their due woight, and delegates assembled thei
if their heads should not come up to tho standa
?zo laid down by Professor Agassiz, and grave
commented upon by others, wilt at least be able
:omprehond these great principles of Bight at
Wrong, which will prompt them to reject fro
their Constitution any thing which seizes a pre
int advantage, at the sacrifice of everlasting trnl
ind justice.
In the second place, it is now well settled by tl
great Republican party, that such a policy will m
io permitted. Congress bas not adopted it, ni
?rill it do so, at Mr. Stevens' bidding. The secei
lionista did very wrong to burn op ins iron work
or they have now made it necessary for him i
ret paid lor them, in somo way or other, an
vhilbt he pleads for confiscation of Souther
andst ho does not forget to say that one of th
lest uses to be made of them would be to rein
ni rae what he had lost. His philanthropy, then
'ore, is just equally divided between the nome fe
be freedman, and compensation for hie iro
vorks. In this enterprise, he stands solitary an
Jone, whilst tho public mind everywhere is, tba
ionfiscation is but the dream of the visionary, 0
he out-croppings of a malignity which is pecuiia
o a solitary statesman. On this point, is an ex
ract from a paper published at Washington, on?
apparently with the authority of an exponent of th
tepublican party. It is called the Great Republic
"These several sections would give the landlea
aillions of the South an aggregate area of ova
wo hundred millions of acres. The half of it, i
xable, would give a b om es top d of eighty aorei
ooh to 1,250,000 heads of families, and homes ant
helter to b',250,000 persons, computing the tami
?CK at an average of five persons. It would bi
lifficultto frame a legislative proposition mon
?enclicent and far reaching, or more worthy of th<
arneat and early action of Congress. The condi
ion of tho South to-day pleads for it os a presen
nd pressing necessity. Popular fooling in thal
ection has become excited, if not inflamed, bj
he hope of confiscation. In some way ii
mst oe quieted. The colorod people ol
bo South, especially, are absolutely hun
ry for land, and this feeling is creditable to theil
?\gac i ty. Confiscation of tho iee of rebel lands ac
war measure in 1862 would have been pract?ca?
le and most advantageous; but the time for ii
as gono by. All intol'igent men now agree to
bis. But tho bill qf Mr. Julian, without inter
aring with private vested rights, would supply
omes to all, black and whito, who are struggling
ir thom; would promote the most rapid develop-,
lent of tho great agricultural resources of the
outh, and go far to restore permanent peace to
hat section and to the whole country. We aro
orry, therefore, that the Congress, at its July
BSsion, was not ready to enact this or some kin
red measure, in addition to the Act amendatory
f the Reconstruction Bill."
Besides this, Congress has not yet voted to the
nmeii8e annies it had in the field, any of the
uhlic lands as a gift-and the duty to do so, was
srtainly as strong aa to provide the samo bless

as given the Hcavon born privilege of freedom to

nd is all that will be asked hy the Convention.
Tho freedmen and the whi toa are not ?trangers

'.Extraordinary Surgical Operation."
Under this head we find in the Anderson (S. C.)
nlelliqencer, of Wednesday, an account of an in?
festing caso operated upon by Dr. THOMAS A.
VHS, of Anderson, assisted by Prof. F. T. MILES,
f this city, and four othor physicians. The fol
?wing aro tho notes we find in the Intelligencer:
Private Goorge L. Schritnp, Co. C, Palmetto
harp Shooters, S. C. V., twenty-five yoara of age,
bout five feet ten inches high, spare form, good
oalth and vigorous constitution, was wounded in
he second battle cf ManasB&s, Va., on the 30th
f August, 18G2, by an ounce ball from a spherical
ase. The ball perforated an oil cloth folded around
small tent fly and tho bolt of bis cartridge box,
mering about an inch to the left of the spine
nd about two inches below the last rib, and pone
rating tho cavity of tho abdomen. The wound
ros at tho time pronounced mortal by the attend
ig Surgeons. He remained at tho Iiold Inflrma
v four or fivo days, when ho was transferred to
bo hospital at Wairenton, Ya., where ho remained
ntil tho 20th of October, whoo ho obtained a fur
mgh and came to his home in Anderson District,
. (J. Ho returned to the army about tho 1st of
tarob, I8G3, reported for duly, and served to tho
lose of tho war-was prosent at tho surrender of
len. Leo's army at Appomattox, on tho 9th day of
ipril, I860, at which time ho returned to his home,
rherc ho has boen actively engaged in laming,
uffcring no inconvonienco from his wound up to
lie 28th of May, 18C7, on whioh day ho was plow
up in tho Hold, when ho felt something drop
omewhere in his abdomen. He was immediately
oizod with violent irritation of the bladdor, and
reat pain and difficulty in voiding urine. He was
onsidorably alarmod, and carno tho next day to
onsult rae. Aftor detailing the Symptoms, I told
lim he bad some foreign body in his bladder ;
0 tho 1 informed mo of the wounl, (of which I
ros not previously awaro), and showed me tho
icatrice where the ball ontcred. I then gave
he opinion it was tho ball in the bladder. I sound
d the bladder in proseuce of Dr. A. Evins, and
mmediatolv struok tho ball. On tho 3d of August,
performed the lattoral operation, (usual opera
ion or Lithotomv), and extracted an ounce ball,
lightly flattened" on one side, and covered with
uinuto shining crystals of phosphate of linie :
ibout ono-sixtli ol tho circumferenco of the ball
vas covered with a thick deposit of the same salt,
low did tho ball cot into tho bladder? It cor
ainly was not in tho bladder, that is, free in tho
tavitv of that viscus previous to tho 28th of May,
rhea ho felt it distinctly drop, and up to which
imo its presence in that organ was not manifested
ry a single one of thc usual symptoms. It could
10t have penetrated at tho timo of receiving jtlio
vound, or thoro would havo been extravesation of
irrae into the cavity of tho abdomen, which would
lave been necessarily mortal. The only rational
.xplanation is, that the ball perforated the extor
ml coats, pushing tho internal before, without
iroducing any aolution of continuity in that coat,
;liua preventing any escape of urine until the
lutor coats uni-.ed aiid closed tho opening. Tho
ball was suspended in tho interior of tho bladdor
JV thc invuginated mucus niernbrano for nearly
live years, until by ?ts weight it probably pioduced
ibsorbtion ot tho thin and delicate mombrane, and
ivcaiing its way gradually through by attrition un?
til it dropped into tho bladder.
Tho deposit on the ball ahows that a portion of
tho ball v aa exposed to tho mino long before it
lropped into tho bladdor.
THE WEATHER AND CROPS.-Much rain has fallen
in different parts of our district, doing great in?
jury to the crops. Tho latter part or last week,

A correspondent seas us tho following, from
loCkinneusville, in th District, under date of
lugust 20th :
Messrs Editors: Th ai oar d of I'ogistrationmade
hoir first appoaranco 1 our neighborhood on yes
erday. Their arrival as anxiously expected by
. large crowd of freedien, who had gathered in
he vicinity at an earlytour in tho morning, and
rhose eyes, beaming w.h anxiety, were cotistant
y turned in the direct in whenco tho gentlemen
rere expected to com. Aa soon as operations
rere commenced, the tore-houso, which was oc
npied for the purpose was tilled to its utmost
?apacity, and it was wii difficulty that tho wo ul rt
le-citizens wero brougt to understand that they
tad to comply with ie regulations. They did
omply, however, andu a short time they passed
brough the necessary xaniination, had tue oat li
ead to them, were swrn in, and afterward sont
>n their way rejoicing.
There was, also, a fal proportion of Ibo whites
if this section who wee registered; vet some ot
he latter, it appears, 6 not attach that intarest
0 their being registcrd which the nature of tho
lase would seem to dinand. At the closing nf
he session to-day, thewuolo number registered
ras 225. Of those Hil rere black and 64 whites,
iinetv-flve blacks wore egistered on tho lirst day,
.nd 32 whites; 66 blac.8 and 32 whites on tho
econd. Thus you seethat tho majority of the
?lacks is considerable. However, as a groat many
rhitos have not registered as yet, tho dispropoi
ion in the numbers my not be so great at tho
losing of tho sessions.- Yorkodle Enquirer.
Tax WEBTHEB AND :HE CROPS.-Cotton is, in

FREEDMEN'S DINNER A- QUEENWOOD.-Wc learn
that a very excellent piblic dinner was given on
Saturday last by the freedmen of tho vicinity of
Si conwood, for the purp?se of exchanging ideas,
ind informing the a sel vet upon tho pending issues;
that there was a large attondauce on tho occa
?ion, and that the day pajsod off with remarkable
quietness, harmony and rood fooling. There was
ample provision made of good cheer for thc enter?
tainment of the guests, aid to this end tho whites
ind blacks all freely ccutributed. Tho meeting
was under tho special direction of tho fro^d
nen, but tho whites lal been very generally
invited to participate and furnished from
prominent citizens of the vicinity tho chief
speakers on the occasion. The assembly was
successively addressed by S. P. Boozer, Esq.,
3apt. J. R. Tarrant, Maj "J. A. Leland, and Dr.
E R. Calhoun. The addesses of tti?sc gentlemen
vere replete with honest advice and wise counsel,
rhe freedmen wero instructed as to their changed
.elations and newly assutiod duties. They wero
idvised to eschew party politics, secret political
eaguea and all afiiliaticn with unknown adven
I turers. They wero urged to impyove their con?
dition by acquiring an education, and exercising
habits of industry and economy, and above all to
cultivate harmonious relations with the white raco
as the necessary conditions of this progress.
Those sentiments were well received by the freed?
men, a nd were reiterated and enforced by several
colored speakers, among whom tho most promi?
nent was Paul Jefferson, the teacher of a colored
school at Greenwood. The meeting was of the
most harmonious character, and afforded the best
evidence of the friendly rolations which exist be?
tween thc two races in this vicinity, and would ex?
ist everywhere but for the efforts of noedy ad?
venturers and selfish agitators.-Abbeville Press.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA PENITENTIARY. - The
Board of Commissioners of tho Penitentiary
consisting of Messrs. Gregg, Robertson and Came?
ron-met in this city, recently, and proceeded to
inspect that institution. The following is a sum?
mary of their roport : There aro now completed
fifty cells, and thc stone cut for twenty more. The
first connels were received on tho 18th April. At
present, there are upwards of 100. There has
beon one death ; one escape ; one pardoned by the
Governor, and one discharged. Tho cost of sub?
sisting convicts is about twonty cents a day ; but
the entire cost of keeping a convict cannot yet be
ascertained. No convict who is now working ia
worth less than sixty cents uer day and his board,
if he was a hired laborer ; thirty are worth eighty
conts per day and their board.
All are kept at work, oxcopt when excused by the
surgeon. Stone-cutting and masonry is the chief j
employment. Sevontcon aro daily sent to the
quarry-about ono and a half milos distant. An
amount of clothing is on hand, sufficient to last
until tho lst;January. Each prisoner, on enter?
ing, is invested with the convict costume, after
being thorouglycleansed and purified, and the
Commissioners heard no complaint made, during
their conversations with the prisoners, concerning
either their treatment or their food ; and it was
found that nearly all of them wero in a fan: way to
learn a remunerative trade. With few exceptions,
punishment bas been found unnecessary. Since
the month of April, the convicts have performed
2570 days of labor, which, at sixty cents per day,
.s equal to $1542.-Phonix.
SINO DL AR.-For two months or moro, os we
learn, a draft lor $1000 in gold, contiibuted to the
poor of his District by Dr. J. Marion Sims, a native
)f Lancaster, but now residing in Paris, has been
tying uncalled for in the Executive office-notwith?
standing the Governor hos addressed not less than
;hreo communications to prominent citizens of
;hat District. This would seem to be a verification
)f th3 old adage, that ''what is every ono's business
a no ono's business."
We learn that thoro will bc a largo mass meet
ng at Belton, Anderson District, on the 30th inst.,
it which Governor Orr (if not prevented by official
lillies^ is likely to be present. Political interost
ii tho upper part of the State is doepening every
lay, and meetings aro being held every week,
.vtiich aro addrossod by white and colored citizens.
The Union Leagues in Pic kons and portions of I
Greenville, District are, it is said, composed of |
Doth races.
At one of tho registration precincts in Pick-ens,
ts we aro informed, a number of colored men,
timed with muskets, rccontly drew up in filo in
Tout of tho registration office, and mado such de
nonstrations that the President of the Union
[?eaguo at that place, as a conservator of tho pub?
ic pcaco, toolt down thoir names, and forwarded
he same to the nearest military post.
Wo also loira that in tho vicinity of Rock Hill,
m tho Charlotte Railroad, a considerable body of
legr?os arc regularly drilling.
A most fearful and brutal outrago was rocontly
iommittcd ia that neighborhood, upon a young
ind respectable lady.-ibid.
WEATHER AND CROPS.- Plentiful showers con
;inue to full, and the crops promise a bountiful
?arvost. Plenty once moro is about to look in our
ioors; would that peace and quiet come with it.
Tho showers of tho present summer seem to bo
tccompanicd. moro than is usual, with severe
ightuing. Several evenings of the present week
ve have been startled with keen reports, much
ike cannon shots, whero thero was but littlo evi?
dence of a cloud.
On Tuesday evening last a tree was struck in
he yard of Mr. T. A. Tobin, of this village The
,:eo waa near thc house, the inmates of vhich
vere considerably shocked. Mr. Wm. H. Garrett's
?ouao was also struck tho samo evening, but ba?
