[FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.] BRANCHVILLE, June 25. Friday last wiU long be remembered in iran ch ville, with pleasurable emotions, by the arge crowd who were gathered, to participate rith Branchville Lodge, No. 110, A. F. M.. in he celebration of St John the Baptist's day, me of the patron saints of Free Masonry. At 12 o'clock, the Lodge, with visiting breth en from Allen, Harmony and Hope Lodges, vere formed in procession by Brother saac Bamberg, who acted as marshal, ind moved from thence to Main street ip Main to Railroad avenue, down Rail oad avenue to Church street, and np Jhurch street to the Baptist Church. Upon xriving at the church the procession was tatted, faced inwards and opened ranks, and he brethren entered the church by inverted irder, where they listened to discourses from lev. Brothers Thomas Raysor and Stanmore {.Sawyer. It would be out of place here, to ttempt any analyses of these addresses, as it voula be impossible to do justice to the om? ore in a short sketch like this. The church ras crowded to its utmost capacity, not alone he seats being occupied, but every available tending place, and yet there were very early as many outside the church as were a it The ladies were out In full force, ending their smiling encouragement, as they Jways do, to every thing good. The table was set in a grove adjoining the burch, and the good things of thia life were tlspensed with a lavishness which showed hst vta are fast recovering from the effects of he wai?. It was estimated that five handred ?rsons were present on the occasion, and lOtwithstandlng this large concourse, there was ?ot a single incident which occurred to mar the ileasure of tue day. At night, the young peo 'le, who had procured the services of the band rom Orangeburg, determined to have a fitting loee to so pleasant a day by a dance at the lOtel, the spacious dining room of which bad een offered Sat th? occasion. "They closed ' be glowing hours with flying feet" untu the ree small hours, when they broke up, satiated 1 rith enjoyment. ! The officers ol' Branchville Lodge, No. 110, re : Brother 0. H. Ott, W.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. As my remarks in the late convention, held in the City of Colombia, have been miscon? strued, truth impels me to ask you to give publication to this, their true version. After the organization of the convention, two drafts for ? platform were offered to that body, and were referred to the committee on platform-one by General J. 6. Kershaw and the other by myself. The one presented by Gene- j ral Kershaw was entirely retrospective, as it embodied only past existing facts. The one presented by myself was present and pro? spective. Being a member of the committee on platform, I resisted the draft by General Kershaw in the committee room, but to no avail. When the platform came before the convention fer its action I renewed some of J my objections to lt, which I felt in -duty bound to do. It embodied only past existing facts, and in that embodiment was embraced right and wrong, truth and falsehood, good and evil. It consolidated and cemented, and required us to sanctify and embalm as verities all the vast changes that have been incorporated into our system of government, both State and Feder? al, since the cessation of hostilities. This I would not do. I preferred to make thc plat? form present and progressive, and leave it to time and a returning sense of right and jus? tice to eliminate whatever was wrong in the past. If we were to embody the Verities of | the past, then let us stand upon truth alone. This forced me to touch upon the slavery ques I ,tion, as I regard the Thirteenth Constitutional amendment as the only prominent truth, in a j crystallzed form, in aU the legislation bearing upon us since the war, upon which we can stand as all truth. That was mutually agreed to, adopted, and ratified, as we fought not to perpetuate slavery, but for self-government. In the discussion my aim was to show that we of the South were not responsible for that Institution; that it existed in all of the original thirteen States, and that our forefathers, North and South, made them? selves alike responsible lor it, when they laid the foundations of the General Government. They had eyes and they saw not, and in the second and third generations their children, North and South alike, have bad to atone for their errors, while the black people, the infini I tessjmal of the human race, nave been passed^ | over unharmed. The solemnity alone of the occasion moved me to speak. The mission ol Moses was freedom. The mission of the Re? publican party, under Lincoln, was freedom. Ours is the greater mission of Truth and Free? dom. Moses and Lincoln faltered and perish? ed. Shall we falter or shall we prove faithful unto the end and succeed ? My words were, kkThe finger of God has pointed to each one here. It you would be faithful unto the end, you must banish'all selfishness, for that be? longs to Moses in his fatten, heneo un? natural, state. Away with all maternal prejudice. Let us know no North, no South, no East and no West. Iiet us know only truth. Let us to-day enlist under that banner which has waved over the battle-field since the morn? ing ot Time. It is the banner of right against wrong, of truth against falsehood, ot good against evil," Ac. How the word prejudice came to be connected with class or race, I cant imagine, for the words class or race were not used by me anywhere in my remarks. It was used principally in a geographical point ol view. " Because South Carolina is our moth? er (and I claim that none of her children can be more fondly attached to her than I am,) we should not be prejudiced against others com? ing from everywhere to aid us in building up and beautifying her. This was manifested In the draft I offered as a platform, wherein an invitation was extended to the capitalist with his money, and the laboring mau with bis hands from everywhere, to come and dwell amongst us, and we would give them a neigh? borly welcome. The wbole substance of my remarks were that we should stand upon truth, strike for right and elimenate wrong. Trusting, slr, that you will do mo justice to give this letter a place in your columns at as early a day as possible, I remain yours, Very respectfully, ELLISON 8. KEITT. PLEASURE BLUNTING. [Prom the Saturday Review.] We really do not know how to amuse our selves, and are forced to snatch at the first pretext that offers ltself/and to make believe very hard that we are really enjoying our? selves. It la a duty not as y et generally recog? nized to study the art of pleasure hunting, we areno more capable of amusing ourselves than of fencing or playing the fiddle without careful training and long practice. If the object of moral teachers ls to increase tbe sum of human happiness, they should cer? tainly Indicate the cultivation o? the . facul? ties which are Immediately pleasant to the individual as weU as of those which are more indirectly profitable to his race. It ls a very Sod thing to be scrupulously honest and iustrious; but the most industrious and honest ol men may lead a wretchedly bare and unprofitable life. Why should be not study the theory of deriving the ?rreatest possible amount of innocent en oyment from the world which he inhabits, as well as that ot doing good to other people. | ' Two practical rules would probably result from such an inquiry. The first would be the ex? treme importance to every man of providing himself with a good serviceable hobby. Even a cultivated taste for cookery or wines, is bet-11 ter than nothing, so long as it is kept within certain bounds, and not only provides a man with an interesting pursuit, but certainly pro? motes the comfort of his friends. We may ad? mit, Indeed, that this is at about the lowest limit of permissible pleasure-seeking; but ls it a fair question for casuistry, whether a man would spend a day better in yawning about a race-course without any taste for horse-racing, or in pursuing with moderation a course of ex? perimental inquiry Into the art of dining. There Is another ride, however, which is of equal importance, and may be more unreserv? edly stated. What an enormous advance would be at once made in the art of happiness, if peo? ple could only be persuaded to a tolerable de arree of sincerity ! The principle would cut both ways. There are some thimrs which every? body really likes, but for which, for some ar? bitrary fashion, it is customary to avow con? tempt; as there are many things which every? body hates, and yet which every one is afraid to denounce. One of the greatest impedi? ments to sound art is that both artists and their admirers are so much inclined to adopt a style recommended hy some preconceived theory as to overlook the important question whether they really give and receive pleasure. It is true that, when we know whether a poem Dr a picture pleases, there is a further question whether it ought to pisase; but when the habitual hypocrisy of mankind leaves us in complete uncertainty as to the first point, our subsequent theorizing ls apt to be very unsat? isfactory. There would be in one sense no dis? puting about tastes if we only knew which tastes were genuine, though we might still ask whether they were elevated; but as it is, thc first, and often the utterly insoluble, question is, whether we really like a so-called pleasure or only persuade ourselves that we like it. . -The agents of the Rothschilds in New York have taken, it ls stated, $2.000,000 of the new city seven per cent, dock bonds, the proceeds of which will be enough to commence exten? sive dock and pier Improvements with. THE STATE PRESS. "An Ed neat ional and a Federal Policy ?Rit In Urge J upon the Un lon Reform Party." [From the WInnsboro' News.] We have never wavered an instant from the opinion more than once expressed in this pa? per, that the coming canvass demands ol all candidates an expression of both an educa? tional and a Federal policy; and that, as part of j an opposition party movement, the adoption ol a plain, out-and-out unreconstructed and rebellious Federal platform will command more votes than no Federal platform at all. The wisdomfof thejUnion Reform party has despised this, our suggestions hitherto, and many disregard it to the end. Its leaders have practically asserted that a party in anv State in the United ?tates can succeed without a Federal policy. But its candidates may yet remedy this fatal blunder and weakness, as we consider lt. We, therefore, urge upon the Executive Committee of the Union Refrom party, after due deliberation, to suggest a State Educa? tional policy, (for Behool commissioners are to be elected) and a Federal policy, to which candidates may pledge themselves before the people. As one plank, we think we could af? lora to vote for three colored Congressmen out of the five to which tbe State will be en? titled, and could pledge ourselves to send a colored man to the United States Senate. We will go further; we will suggest a candidate. Colonel Beverly Nash suspects this movement of Insincerity: let us prove the groundlessness of his suspicion, by offering to send bim to Congress, li he will Join us. He ls a represen? tative man of his race, and better entitled to a general's commission than General Whipper, of Beaufort. We respect him for de? claring that he is "content with his negro blood, and would not exchange it for the blood ol the Howards." That was a manly senti? ment, Colonel, and you are the proper man to represent the Union Reform party in the Uni? ted States Senate, if voa will accept the candi? dacy of the party. With ten such representa-1 tire colored men to canvass the State in the cause of Reform, Federal politics having been not simply left alone, but plainly yielded to the Republican party, Carpenter and Butler and the Union Reform Legislature could be triumphantly elected, and the canvass would be the most stirring and animated ever had in the State. But, on the other band, since county school commissioners, congressmen and legislators who will elect a United States senator, are to be elected, if the Union Reform party attempt a non-commital or a conglomerate Federal policy, it will fail to awaken Interest and life. Kershaw's resolution amended, so as to cover congressmen and the United States sen? ator, namely, dat the party would vote for Republicans, should never have been struck from that platform. In fact, it was worth more, In our Judgment, than the rest of | it. The Executive Committee, however, and the candidates, by their personal pledges, can remedy all this effectually. We call upon them to do so, and we call upon our contemporaries of the press to join us in urging them to do so. There is no safe means between what we urge and the defiant Democratic position originally ad? vocated by the Phoenix, and controverted by the WInnsboro' News, as unsuited to the con? dition of the Slate, and its relations to the Union. Yet we do regard that defiant Demo? cratic policy as tar stronger; in the nature of things, than a non-committal or conglomerate Federal pollcy^Let us have none such. There is no power Iwlt. The matter should be de? bated between the Phoenix men and men of | our way of thinking, such as Kershaw, and one or the other course adopted. That's buslneas. That's common sense. A firm, plucky will goes a great way before the people, even if | acting against the judgment and wishes of a Eortion of them. Let us give this movement ackbone. Form Your Reform Clubs. ' [From the Marion Star.] All citizens, white and colored, who intend to stand manfully on the platform of Honesty and Reform, should go earnestly to work at once, if they would have their efforts crowned with success at the October election. We would advise, therefore, that a Reform Club be formed at the earliest possible moment in each school district in the county, so that the necessary means may be devised, suitable to each locality, for the successful accomplish? ment of the great work before us-the re? demption of our State, and the political salva? tion of our people. By. doing this, we shall have forty-two working Reform clubs in Marion, which will present a van strong enough to write victory on the banner of Re? form next fall. Our shoulders to the wheel, men, and South Carolina will be saved. Let ns have a White Militia Company. [From the Marion Star.] The colored citizens ol Marion have already formed a militia company. Their right now to bear arms is a constitutional one, and no one should object to lt. And lt ls also a right as sacred to every citizen as his right to vote. Our white citizens should also form a militia company, and we advise them so to do at once, that they may share the field appointments. We do not advise this course simply because our colored citizens are forming companies, but because we believe it to be the duty of our whites to bear their share of the burdens of ! the body politic. Let all who desire t o form a company at once, leave their names with the clerk of the court. We propose to hold a meet? ing next Saturday, at the courthouse, at 12 o'clock M., for the purpose of electing officers, If the requisite number of names shall have been obtained. Oar Platform. [From the Columbia Guardian.] When one bears Into consideration the object ol the June convention: that its, animating principle was reform in the State government; that to effect this reform a co-operation of both classes of our citizens ls necessary, and that the only hindrance to that co-operation is the mooted question ol' the political rights of the colored people, the short, terse and pointed declarations which make up the platform of the Union Reform party become possessed of pe? culiar force, and are far prelerable to those voluminous platitudes that commonly charac? terize similar papers. In plain, direct and unmistakable language, it announces the determination on the part of the native white citizens to cease all opposi? tion to tbos'e unconstitutional laws which have idvanced the colored people to the rights of citizenship. This is the key-note of the plat? form, the continued sounding of which will make thc plundering politisai wolves of the ruling faction tremble In every limb ere the fall elections are over. It removes in a mo? ment the baneful cause of discord and ?nimos ?ty between whites and blacks, and sounds the political death-knell to those who have been Hoisted Into office by Increasing the same. We Will Try Again. [From the Columbia Guardian.] Our call in behalf of the public upon Messrs. Dhambcrlain, Neagle and Parker to show what part they had in that $90,000 land swindle has igaiu passed unheeded. They seem deaf to ill entreaty, and force tis to inquire from other sources. Governor Scott and Secretary ol Slate Cardozo are 6aul to have investigated he matter at thc time the charge was first nade. Will either of them deign to give the jood people ol' the State the result ot their in? vestigation ? These gentlemen hold positions ilgliin trust and power; they are honored ser? rants of the people, or should bc, and it is a natter of some imporlance to the taxpayers to itiow who are the parties that have stolen 590,000 oithelr money. A False Report. [From the Marlon Star.] It has been pretty generally reported in this ;ounty and also in some parts of the State, hat many ol our most prominent citizens vere leaning to the Scott Ring Radical party. )n consulting the parties referred to, we are ileased to learn that the report is without oundation-false. Our leading citizens to a nan, so far as wc can learn, stand firmly on he platform ol Honesty and Reform. In Atlanta, on Friday, a young man named ?obert Boyd shot a friend, Jesse Owens, klll ng him Instantly. The New Era says: "They lad been playing during the afternoon with an ?nloadt?d Derringer.

THE VIRGINIA CADET. , Greeley** Comment on his Manly and Straightforward Coar?c. A Washington dispatch ol Sunday to thc New York Tribune says: A case of much interest tb the boys ol' the South was decided by the Secretary of the Navy yesterday. A youth named Baldwin Al? exander, from Pulaski County, Va., was ap? pointed a cadet at the naval academy by the Hon. Mr. Gibson, of the eighth district of Vir? ginia. Alexander, who is not yet 17 years of age, underwent a thorough examination, and passed at every point. He made a favorable impression upon the board of examiners, as well as the Secretary ol' the Navy, and bis ap? pointment was confirmed. But when the iron? clad, or test oath was put to him, he declined to take it, asserting that, although he was a mere child at the commencement of the war, and j but 12 years ot age at its close, yet his associa? tions, surroundings, <fcc, had created|a sympa? thy in his mind and heart for those around him, and to swear that he had not sympathized with or countenanced the rebellion would be base perjury, and he could not do so. His honesty and candor elicited encomiums from the naval authorities, and Senator Johnson, of Virginia, took the matter in hand, and tried to have the youth admitted by his taking the pro- l per constitutional oath. The law on the sub feet, however, seems to be imperative, and the ; Secretary of the Navy to-day informed Senator J Johnson that Alexander could not be admitted \ to thc Academy as a cadet, unless he subscrib? ed to the Iron-clad oath. Senator Johnson will ask special Congressional l?gislation in his case, and representative Platt, a prominent 1 Virginia Republican member, lias also stated that he would ask thc removal ol lils disabili? ties by the House, and that lie be allowed to enter the Academy without taking the iron? clad oat)). The Tribune remarks editorially: I We sincerely trust the young Virginian who is debarred from admission to tiie Naval Acad? emy because he declines to swear that he had no sympathy in the rebellion in which lils ? family heartily enlisted, will not be any longer proscribed. The test oath which boys arc 1 called upon to take belore admission to the i national schools are a disgrace to our statute t books. The more oath-taking the more lying there will be, and tho more we proscribe enif- . dren for the rebellion ol' their parents the more that rebellion will be respected. The ad- E ministration of the test oatli to a boy who was i onlv twelve years old when the war closed, i and who is*still a minor, is an absurdity which ought to secure the repeal of the statute. t Corn and cotton In Brooks County, the Quitman Banner says, are growing finely, al- : though reports are In circulation thut the cat? erpillar and rust have appeared. The Banner says: "It is probable that thc rust may be con- : fined to meagre limits, and do but little dam? age, but we do not like the reports of caterpll- - lar this early in the season. There can be no doubt of their existepce, for one of the oldest j and moat experienced planters of Brooks in- T fprmed us on last Monday that he had not only Been, but thoroughly examined them,, and is 1 satisfied that they are the genuine cotton cat- ? erpillaf. LIVINGSTONES 18 PROBABLE FATE. At the Anal fortnightly meeting of the ses? sion of 1869-70 of the Royal Geographical So? ciety of England, in London, June 14, Slr R. Murchison relerred to thc present position of Dr. Livingstone and the succor which is to be sent to him. He said: There have been great misapprehensions about this affair, and I have received numer? ous applications from active young men anxi? ous to go In search of Dr. Livingstone, suppos? ing that there was a real expedition abont to start from this country or elsewhere. There is no such expedition, even in imagi? nation, and certainly none in reality, con? templated in any way. Dr. Livingstone has been more than three years and a naif In the heart of Africa, without a single European attendant. I am not sure that the sight of a young gentleman sent out from Eng-, land, who was not acclimatized, would not produce a very bad effect Instead of a good one upon my friend, the doctor, because he would have to take care of the new arrival, who would very soon die there, and the poor doctor would have an additional load. I have, therefore, to announce that there is no such intention whatever. I have received a dozen letters from admiring young volunteers, who are anxious to distinguish themselves, but who have not the least idea of what they are about. I have every reason to believe that the ?1000 that thc government has given will go out by the consul ot Zanzi? bar, who happens accidentally to be In this country, and who ls going out immediately. He will instruct Dr. Kirk, the vice-consul, to relit the same expedition which was started before, but which was Impeded by an attack ol' cholera. The cholera has passed away en? tirely, the country is free from Zanzibar, and the only difficulty now is po get to UJijl, where my dear and valued friend was and still ls, tor he cannot move forward or backward without carriers, supplies, ?c. It will take two months or more for those supplies to go from the sea? board to Ujiii, therefore you must put aside all anxiety for some months to come. I hope in about seven or eight months hence you will hear good news, and that very soon after that we snail see our friend again In his native country. _ _ MATTERS IN GEORGIA. The Episcopalians ol Columbus have secured $20,000, in two year's subscriptions, for the erection ot a $30,000 church. Three watermelons appeared in the Savan? nah market on Saturday, the first of thc sea? son, grown in that section. The steamer Nick King, on Saturday, brought several hundred fine watermelons to Savannah, which were shipped North. The Madison Farm Journal has never seen the corn and cotton crops of Morgan in a more flourishing condition than now. The Bainbridge Argus, after Investigation, is Induced that the farmers in that section have not planted enough corn to meet their demands. A negro boy, hauling wheat from the planta? tion of Mrs. Walton, In Morgan County, was struck and killed by lightning last week. One of the oxen he was driving was also killed, and the other badly shocked. Of mining prospects, the Dahlonega Signal, speaking of thc Dahlonega mine, abandoned two years ago by Northern miners, and now worked by Wm. R. Crlsson, a practical miner, says that in three weeks, 1000 tons ore were crushed, and 700 dwts. of gold realized; work? ing expenses, $285; after paying rent, keeping up the machinery and all incidental expenses, he makes from $200 to $300 per month.
