VOTJiMT? VT-NTXMRER 946., CHARLESTON, S. C., THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1868. EIGHTEEN CENTS A WEEK TEE NEWS FOB TEE CAMPAIGN G BEAT INDUCEMENTS TO CLUBS. The importance of the great political con teat upon which we have now fairly entered renders the dissemination among the people of sound political views and accurate and ear? ly information of the progress and Incidents of the canvass, & matter of peculiar interest and expediency. Every individual who has any stake in the welfare of these Southern - States, should give an active, personal and un? flagging support to the candidates of the National Democracy-SETHOOR and BLUB. A triumph of the Radicals will result in the utter desolation and ruin of the South, and the plaetrir>af_an ipaoran t and brutal race in .all positions and places of honor and tra it. to the exclusion of the white race. The govern? ment must be wrested from the thieves and plunderers who now have control of it, and power placed in the hands of a party pledged to give peace to a distracted country, and to make it a government fer white men, and not - for negroes; It is only necessary 'that the peo? ple should be thoroughly informed to accom? plish this, and THE NEWS will be an admirable means of diffusing-thia information. In order to place the paper within the reach of all, nave adopted a scale of reduced rates of sub? scription for the four months covering the Pref?iden?al canvass, and offer besides peculiar ? inducements for-tho .formation of clubs. We are determined that THE NEWS shall be the oheapest and best newspaper m the South [ts blows will fall thickly, steadily and rapidly and if the friends of law, order and the Con Btitution do their duty by extending its circu talion, its labors can be made powerfully effc tire for good. We appeal, then, to our readers to examine our remarkably low terms, and go to work with a will to get up large dubs for THE CHABI?X3TOK NEWS. SATES rou THE CAMPAIGN NEWS. .

LONDON, September 8.-The Daily Nevrs, commenting on the mission of the Hon. Rev? erdy Johnson, says that on the difficult ques? tions to be treated England has given abund? ant proof of her good faith, and in sending Mr. Johnson to this country the United States government shows fte desire to settle the pend? ing questions in dispute, and such disposition is the host guarantee the negotiations will be brought to a satisiaotory conclusion. Rev. Dr. Bellows, of New York, .has written a letter to the Londo j Times on the Irish Church question. He says the disestablishment of tho Irish Church is a measure of even more importance to the foreign relations than to the internal interest of Great Britain. The accomplishment of this reform would bo a great step towards the removal of those griev? ances which serve so powerfully to inflame the feelings nf the Irish in America against the British Government, and which, while they continue to exist, make war, provoked by the persistent efforts of the Irish leaders, at any time possible between England and America.

Gilbert Pillsbury. To the Editor of the Daily News : Daring the past few months my name bas appeared frequently in all the newspapers of the city; and although I ha^e almost invari? ably been stigmatized and misrepresented, I have never entreated or demanded space from any of them to refute a single aspersion aprainBt my moral or political character. But a statement appeared in a recent num btr of THE DAILY NEWS which was more in? jurious and incorrect than any of the numer? ous charges unjustly preferred against me; and justice to myself and perhaps self-preser? vation, demand from mo a puolic denial. Not having before me a copy of the paper which contained the charge, I can only give the sub? stance of the imputation. It was, that on tho evening when the Democrats were assembled in front of the Charleston Hotel, I was at Mili? tary Hall, designing and endeavoring to lead a precession of colored men through thc Demo? cratic crowd to brear it up, and that I was only prevented irom executing my mad design by the earnest interposition of tho Mayor. The same article intimated unmistakably that in the event ol any disturbance or outbreak, my poor hfe would be among the first sought and sacrificed. And because this misstatement was not- by me publicly refuted at the time, it was dignified with a pla o in the recent "address," issued from the "Democratic white voters to the col? ored voters of Charleston," as follows : "When wo held our great mooting on the evening of tho 24th of July, you proposed, it is said, under tho guidance of a white man who is your can? didate for Mayor, and, wo are told, assembled to form in procession and disturb our'meoting by marching through full five thousand people, clooely packed, in the streets. You wero, for? tunately for yourselves, prevontod by the in? fluence of the Mayor, who is also of your politi? cal affinity." Further along in the same "ad? dress," I "was, by direct implication, ranked with men of "bad character and depraved na- i ture;" with "infamous outcast white men who ' lead you, urge you into these aggressions;" and the subject*was finally disposed of by the following remarkable proclamation: ,-Theywill be held to fe ari ul account when the day of their whirlwind cometh." Allow me now to state the part which I real? ly did act on the evening or the 24th, above alluded to. There had oeen a call issued for a Repa bl icon mass meeting at the Club House on that same evening. 1 had no part or voice in the arrangements for thal gathering. I only received, an invitation by letter irom the com? mittee to be present and address the meeting, wh oh invitation I accepted. I did not go near Military Hall on that evening. On my way to the Club House, 1 tarried at the Democratic meeting for tho purpose of seeing and hearing: Wade Hampton, for tho first time. While standing in the crowd, I heard it rumored that the colored procession designed moving down Meeting-street to the Club House. I immedi? ately dispatched a message to the com? mittee of arrangements requesting them to desist from any such attempt, if indeed it was meditated. The committee received ? my message, info ming mo afterwards that they entertained no such design at the time ot ' receiving it. lu my remarks at tho Club House, t on that very evening, I cautioned that vast as- ] semblage against improper or riotous conduct on any and every occasion. Alluding particu? larly to the multitude then assembled in front of tho Charleston Hotel, I urged it upon them to retire quietly by some other route, and not to cause even the semblance of disturbance of any kind. This request was cheerfully and rcaddy complied with. Wheu nightly processions have halted before my door, I have invariably encouraged them to observe order and manly deportment; onco, * at least, administering stern rebuke against ] certain improprieties which it was reported the c jnven'le portion of tho crowd had committed . on tho fine ot march, and was moro than grati- 1 tied to koow that tho ontire multitud* of men t composing the line seconded my advice and rebuke. I have often remonstrated even against in-1 terfereuco with the colored Democratic clubs. Regretting the demoralization produced amomr | 1 them by whiskey and other ' oncomitants, I have always insisted that they were in the ex? ercise of a political right, and that if they really choose to rally under the Democratic flag, no viol' nt or riotous conduct should bo attempted to abridge that right. Such hos uniformly been my course, and such it will continuo to bo. Thousands of un? friends, besides many who aro willing to bo ranked as my political enemies, can bear wit? ness to it, for they havo often heart me avow my sentiments in tho most public manner possible. I |. Trusting in God, and believing that tho r government has tho ability, as well as the dis? position to pro cet the humblest citizen in all ais rights under the constitution, I have ever counselled patience, and stnc, observance of law and order. If, therefore, through misrep- . resentation, or political haired, or any other 1 ncans, I should chance lo be sacrificed, I am letermined to fall in the line of duty. HI miy still be permitted to survive, and to 7 exercise the full rights of citizenship, no in :imidation, or flattery, can causo me to deviate F me hair's breadth from that same line. ti GILBERT PILLSBURY.

The doctors won't let her go back just yet to be bothered by the naughty Wales. -The following capital mot is ascribed to M. Eouher, in the Cloche of last Saturday: "The proof that the Empire really means peace, is that peace has been made three or four times since the Empire, and that it will be made again." -The overland China mailannounoes that the reports of gold fields having been discover? ed at Chefoo are confirmed, and that lead, sil? ver and coal have also been found in large quantities. The gold fields had attracted a great number of Chinese-as many as 10,000, according to one report. -The Paris Liberte has received Bpecial in? formation that numerous detachments of Prus? sian troops havo during tho last few days pass od through Bingen and Creuznach to occupy a camp which has beon formed at Sarrolouis. SarrelouiB is situated on the extreme northeast frontier of Bhenish Prussia, whero it adjoins Luxemburg, and is, moreover, exactly opposite Metz. But a few days ag J the Liberto pointed out the primo importance of this position, and is new soui o what flattered to find the Prussian staff of the samo opinion. -A Balo paper states that the keeper of the buffet at the railway station charged Queen Victoria and a suit of thirty persons srven hundred francs for a breakfast of coffee, eggs, and cold meat, being at the rate of twenty three francs a head. The Bale people are very Indignant at this extortion ; but, says a Lon lon paper, tho retlaur.Ueur would pro: ably justify himself as the English innkeeper did ?\bo presented George HI with a bill of one ruin?a for a slice of bread and one eg?. The ling, while paying the money, observed (hat jggs must be very scarce in that part of the :ountry. "No, your Majesty," was the reply,, 'eggs are plentiful enough, but king's visits ire rare." , ? ^ -A correspondent in Crete writes that he las leisurely travelled through the very he?rt )f HIP insurgent districts, and is surprised at he vigor with which the system of defence is i till kept up. Skfrmisbes continue, but politi? cally the system remains unaltered. The Sul? tan's Government still claims absolute submis lion; the Cretans still insist upon union with jrreece. Much discontent is behoved to exist imong the Turks of Crete, who are on bad erms with the regular Turkish soldiers, and lome of the insurgents axe confident that ihould the war continue three months more, he native Mahommedans will grow weary of )oing blockaded in the cities, and j oin them in. arge numbers. c i a a 11.ji'i ? i fro n N'?'oj states that r'cauviuu is again showing disquieting symp oms; for some days past eruptions have taken. >laco at the upper cone. Deep rumbling lounds are followed by jets of incandescent natter thrown to a great height. The lava fre luently appears at the brink of the crater, and hen stops. About throe in the morning of the ,7th tho spectacle became imposing. Columns >f thick smoko rose high in the air, followed >y buming stonos. After shining a moment hey fell and rolled, still rod hot, down the ide ot the mountain. This emption lasted so ong as the darkness permitted it tobo seen, s at daybreak the fire paled. The smoke was, lowever, still thick, and showed that, even ,fter sunrise, the same volcanic phenomenon ontinucd. -Ihe London Times' correspondent, at tho cene of the railroad disaster in Wales, writing m August 24, says : "Persom of all the various ondit iona of life, moat of th;m hitherto stran ;ers to each other, have come to assemble ouud ono v?st grave, in which thirty-threo lead men, worooa and children aro. to be ilaced, side by side without any distinction of auk, without any difference in the coffins that nclose them. Further attempts at identifica ion of the remains have been abandoned in lespair; and as the dead now lying in one of he aisles of Abergele church met their death t the same instant, and within tho narrow jundaries of four carriages closely coupled ojelber, their sorrowing relatives have ap roved the idea of tho Tte v. James Meredith, he rector, that they should lie together in one ommon sepulchre." -Had stories are told about little Patti's hus- ' and. The Paris correspondent of the Etoile lilge says the Marquis "seems to have told he Patti family no end of fibs about his debts. Io humbly stated the whole amount of the lortgages on his estates was four hundred and ifty thousand fiancs, when it is well known bal bc owes three or four millions; that his o-called ostatca aro in the hands of his credit rs, who do not find them sufficient to pay one jurtu of his indebtedness; and that all he has 3 hve on, besides his wife's earnings, is his alary as equerry. There is considerable talk i fashionable circles as to the duration of his nion with Mlle. Patti, for the young lady is nown to bo of a very irascible and jealous haracter, and thc Marquis has half a dozen ast-off mistresses, and several illegitimate bildren, living in Paris. lu court circles, onsiderablo disgust is manifested at the soli? tude with which the parasite press chronicles pery step of tho now-married couple. The atrie has already received orders to say no tore about tho Marquis and Marquise de Caux. be Emperor never liked the Marquis. The rincess Mathilde also is shocked, and the ountess Wa'.ewski protests she will never gain set foot m the Tuileries." -Ice in England is a luxury and not an arti le of necessary use. Tho inconveniences to hich Englishmen are subjected through their ick of enterprise in obtaining copious suppli?e t what m the United States is as indispenea le as bread or milk, may be imagined from ie remarks of tho Pall Mall Gazette. That mraal states that "the extent to which the so of ico is growing in England may be par? ally judged of from the fact that in 1861 we np jr ted only 3323 tons from Norway, while in 363 we took 43,359 tona. This year the re lrus would be much larger. People aro begin? ing to understand that ice is not merely a lux rybut an important means of health. A cold rink or a cold application to the hoad has ivcd men from fever ero now. Tho aaiount f suffering that can bo allayed by ice in io cases of sick persons is only properly nown m tropical countries. Ice ought to bc neap enough in England, but it should be oneraliy understood that the article brought .om our ponds or rivers is uot fit to put into ny liquid which people mean to drink. Tho .mencaii8 (who aro sharp enough to send ua ay tho moment a deficient grass crop cornea > their knowledge) mi^hr. export moro of tho rue Wenliam Lako ice next year, with a cor linty of finding a good market for it. "We may von hope that the day will como when our ho? ol keepers will understand that ice ought to e supplied gratuitously to the guests, and as tten as they ask for it." The ignorance of tho ses to which icc may be applied must bo very oueral in England, when a prominent journal ommunicatos information kno.vn to every chool boy in the United States. THE SPOOV QUi?STIO\. GENERAL BUTLEB IN NEW OBLE ANS-WHAT A BADIOAL CORRESPONDENT SATS ABOUT STEAL? ING-ILLICIT TRAIE WITH "REBELS"-HELVES SPOONS AND SIXTY-NINE PIANOS MISS LNG. There hos been [ soine discussion of late among the independent newspapers of the North as to whether Beast Butler really did steal epooDS in New Orleans, the Radical pa? pers having all insisted thr.t the story was "a rebel slander." The correspondait of the Cin? cinnati Commercial, an independent Republi? can journal, writes as follows from New Or? leans, under date of the 30th ult.: Mr. Dana, of the Now York Sun, wants to know if there is any foundation for the often repealed charges against Butler, of stealing from the people of New Orleans. Men of veracity and soberness, belonging to this city, pain my ears with stories of theft and pillage in Louisiana by the men and officers of the New England division. One of these gen? tlemen remarked to me that if it bad not been his good fortune to know the people of Now England by other signs than those afforded by a portion of ito soldiery in this State, ho would heve como to the conclusion that the people of th it section were little bettor than a race of thieves. In fact, I am more than half con? vinced of the literal truth of tho allegations against Butler of appropriating silver spoons. That ho.d'd carry on on illicit trade with the robols across the lake is officially authenticated. Ibis established, why should the spoon story be doubted? A gentleman at my elbow, who a JOS not behove- that the people of the North are thieves, says he had frequent opportunities, during the Batter occupation, or purchasing from Union soldiers, for a song, rare paintings, fine mattresses, ?cc, of which houses along the upper river coast bad been despoiled. Smaller articles of value and oerlu, obtained in the samo wav,1 were boxed up and shipped North to the friends of tho captors. Near the cloeo of tho summer of 1862 a steamboat arriv? ed here from Baton Rouge, having stopped at a. number of plantations on the route, with silty nine pianos, for which no return was ever made to tho government, and which now. doubtless, adorn tho private Northern resi? dences of many of our volunteer officers. Statements of this kind, and well authenti? cated ones, too, might be multiplied almost in? definitely; hut: I have given enough to show the . grounds of the constantly reiterated charges of the' Southern press reflecting upon th a hon caty of the Yankee character. The duty which I have thud assumed is an un? grateful one; but common fairness and honesty seem to demand its fearless discharge, and I undertake it with the full consciousness that the representative people of New England and the North will be toe first and foremost to de nouncojnnd repudiate these villanous and dis? graceful transactions. It is by no means strange that an unreflecting and passionate people, personally cognizant of such spolia? tions as above mentioned, should hate and de? nounce as thieves a people who seem to have .been represented by such soldiers and camp lollowers as came here with Butler. The New Orleans Times, alluding to the same subject, says : ? The New York San, in its issue' of the 17th instant, asks for evidence of Geperal Batter's propensity to -appropriate the spoons of oth? ers. The instances are innumerable, and are easily susceptible of proof. As a specific ono is required, we will select that of Dr. Camp boll. Paring tho occupation of the city. But? ler seized his house, and upon its restoration the silver was retained ana carried North by Butler, Borne of it having since been seen in his own residence. It consisted of nine dozen pieces, all marked. A suit for its re? covery is either about to be or has already been brought against the spoon fancier. Ic is notorious that the first acts of Butler were to institute search for silver plate, all of which he proiessed to confiscate in the name of the Unit?d States. So actively did ho prose-, cute the search that many of the resident fam? ilies endeavored to transport their plate to Eu? rope. Mr. Hamilton Wright and Mr. Gillis, two of our most respectable merchants, were arrested and Bent to Ship Island on this charge. In one coso Butler succeeded in capturing the silver, in the other it eluded his vigilance. If tho New Yotk Sun is sufficiently honest m its desire to investigate these charges, wo shall return to the subject again, with numerous other well-credited and traceable charges, se? lected from the hosts of instances, of tho spoon spoliation, either committed by Butler himself, or, in his name, by the creatures under him.

HOBBEBLE HISTORY or A GLUTTON.-Grena? dier Tarare, who died recently at Florenco, was one of the greatest gluttons of modern times. He devoured, in the course of twenty four hours, a whole quarter of a beef; a break? fast prepared for ten or twelve persons he would dispatch in a very few minutes. He ate limestones, corks and nearly everything that fell into his hands. A favorite food of bis was snakes, which he relished better than the fat? test eels, Ho devoured the largest snakes ho got hold of ahve, without leaving anything of them. When he was once employed as assist? ant in a hospital, he seized a largo tomcat, and was already occupied in tearing it aliT when Dr. 1 orenzi, chief surgeon of the army, was seut for.

Ho died twenty-.-,ix years old, of a putrid diarrhooa, resulting from morti? fication of his bowels. _ IT LIFTS A HEAVX WEIGHT FH^M THE dxiTcn BURBENED SEAMSTRESS.-^o are very highly pleased wit i it and its performance.

At a regular monthly meeting of the Charleston Riflemen Society, held at their Hall on Tuesday, September 8,1868, the following preamble.and reso? lutions were unanimously adopted: The visitations of Death are siwa} s startling, and we naturally shrink from any announcement of his stern decrees. When one we esteem or love ls pros tra ted by disease, we naturally indulge the hope, though often vainly, that the indispoiition ls but temporary, and that medical skill can arrest its progress and restore tho sufferer to our embrace, in invigorated health. Sut when we are suddenly called upon to view the Inanimate form, with whom, but a few shurt hours previous, we conversed li all the buoyancy of life, and whose stalwart frame t we promise of many years of existence, and we find L n cold in death-the countenance which once beam -d with brightness overspread with pallor, and -ti e tongue that was always eloquent In its contributions tn the pleasure and agreeable relations of society, now mute and still-wa ehr int back and ex Maim, how true are those words: "In the midst of life we are in death." Mr. AUGUSTUS DUQUERCRON*, a member of our Society, has been thus suddenly removed from the active duties and engagements of this life to the un kno""\ and untried realities of another world, ind it 'becomes us, who were wont to mingle with him fra. qaently, and are, therefore, best prepared to Judge of his many virtues, to recapitulate them while we drop a tear to bis memory. Our friend waa, in every regard, one of us. Dorn Lu Charleston, though edu? cated abroad, oven-feeling, sympathy and interest was consummated by him to the welfare of his na? tive city; and though absent when the tocsin of war sounded, and "Whan internecine strife was in tho land; When brother brochera lought, and airs met son In deadly grapple; when wuoercv won Sorrow was victor; when were torn in twain AH tender ties, and each on ruin bent! Urged on the fight without remorse or ruth," He hastened to offer his services in defence of his native soil; and when the strife was over, and tr?.the survivsrs organized for mutual assistance, be, with his genial smile and social qualities, contributed greatly to our enjoyment. But we shall never meet him at our assemblages; and hewing with submission to the inscrutable de? cree of Divine Providence, we offer, as s feeble tr.b ute to his memory, the fallowing resolutions: 1. R-solved, Tbat in the sudden death of Mr. AU? GUSTUS DCQUEBCBON, thi3 Society has lost a valued member and cheerful companion, and each of us a warm and zealous friend. 2. Res Iced, That a page in our Minute Book be dedicated to his memory. 8. Resolved, That a copy of the above preamble and resolutions be sent to his surviving relatives. ?. Resolved, That the above be published in THE DAILY NEWS. Extract from the Minutes. F. EUGENE DUBBEO, Secretary and Tre - surer C. B. S. SS" Tho New Orleans Picayune please copy.

Tho fogs of tho - o autumn nights and mornings are BU-charged with the elements of Intermittent and bilious remittent fevers, and, un? fortunately, two-thirds of thc community are just in tho condition to be disastrously affected by them. Those who have been prudent enough to fortify themselves during tho summer with that powerful and infallible vegetable luvigorant, HOoTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, are forearmed against mala? ria, and have nothing to fear. But health is the last thing too many think about. In the pursuit of gain or pleasure the blessing, without which wealth is dross and enjoyment impossible, is neglected. Better late than never is a cons latory proverb, however, and all who begin to feel the premonilory symptoms of any of tho epidemics which are en? gendered by the malaria of autumn, should immedi? ately resort to the ana? ANTIDOTE OF THE AOE. A few doses of the BI TIERS will break up the chills and prevent their recurrence. In every region where intermittents prevail thia prrest and best of all vegetable tonics ls indispensable. Of all anti-bilious preparations knoffn it is the most effective and harmless. It does not stimulate the liver violently, like the mineral salivants, but tones, renovates and regulates the organ without creating any general disturbance of the system or entailing any reaction. The BITTERS are essentially a household specific, and chould be always within reach os the very best means of preventing and checking bilious attacks and intermittent f-vers. 6_Septem uer 5 43- A YOUNG LADx Ucl- UrlNING IO her country home, a.ier a sojourn of a few months in t: e city, was hardly recognized by ber friends.
