England was now in a condition to witness unmoved the vanlsbing of Empires and the rising of Republics. ADDITIONAL DISPATCHES. More Detailed Accounts of the Popular Demonstrations in Liomton. j. LONDON, September li. The London journals of to-morrow will sure? ly belittle the really formidable popular dem? onstrations which took place here to-day in favor of the French Republic, and against monarchy at home aLd abroad. These dem? onstrations were two in number, one in Hyde Park and one at St. James's Hall. At the mooting in the. open air, in Hyde Park, Pro? fessor Beesley made a speech vigorously de? nouncing the imbecility of tue British Govern? ment, and charging lt upon the Queen by name that she was encouraging the King of Prussia to march upon Paris for the purpose of destroying the new-born French Republic. '.What the freemen ol America recognize and applaud," said Professor Beesley, "the aris? tocracy of England support a Queen who de serts her post In aiding to stifle and ?-'iDpress." The nome of the Queen was received with a tempest of biases. When these subsided, a voice in the crowd called out, "Three groans . for the Prince of Wales." The response was universal and passionate. The aspect of the crowd at this time was really appalling. In the meeting at St. James'? Hail, which was crowded by persons'o? a better class than the gathering In Hyde Park, strong resolutions were adopted denouncing the inconsistency ol the Prussian advance upon Paris with the pro? clamation of the Crown Prince in August, that Prussia made war not upon the French peo? ple but upon the Ecrperor Napoleon. Profes? sor Beesley spoke at this meeting also, saving that England desired no dismemberment of France, and that If the English Government were honest it would say so at once and plain? ly to the King of Prussia. The English Gov? ernment, said Professor Beesley, ls hostile both openly and secretly to France, not because lt loves Germany, but because it hates republi? canism and fears it. To uphold the present course of Prussia is to uphold despotism in Ger? many os well as In France. The government of England md not recognized the .Republic ol France. But the day was at hand when the French Republic would be called to recognize the Republic in England. Mr. Odger read at this meeting an address from the Democrat? ol London, to the French Republicans, which was adopted by acclamation. The feeling iu this city against the government and the royal family is extremely bitter, not only among the avowedly Democratic classes, but through? out all ranks o? society. The impression which has been made by the Times and other papers of the same standing, that the foreign policy ol the government has been dictated hy? the personal prejudices of the Queen and the interests of her family, has produced a most dangerous and general indignation. Paris Isolated. PARIS, September ll. This city is to-day beginning to be isolated. We have had no mail to-day from London, and no dr-r.tches have come through by the tele graph except for the newspapers. The gov ernment exercises a supervision at the office in the Place de la Bourse, from which alone dispatches are allowed to be sent. It ls con? ducted fairly, but is positive. The aspect ot the city is perfectly tranquil, though not at all gay. No fears of mob violence are entertained by any one, notwithstanding the rumor? to that effect which seem to be spread abroad in England and Belgium. I repeat that I have never seen public order more perfect than since the proclamation of the Republic. Henri Bochefort, who was much feared, is in office, and manifests a most conservative temper. He is of grerc use in controlling the extreme Rad? icals. ACTIVE NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE. The legations of Russia and Austria are busi? ly at work in the interest of peace, and lt ls believed they would already have secured an annalee had not the English Government blocked the way by its hesitating and hall' hos? tile attitude. ENGLAND IN THE WAY OF PEACE. The English Government is believed to have a secret understanding with the King of Prus? sia adverse to the wishes ot Count Bismarck in order to secure, if possible, the suppression of the Republic. COUNT BISMARCK FOR PEACE. I have lt on high authority that Count Bis? marck desires neither Alsace nor Lorraine, and is anxious to secure peace as soon as pos? sible. But King William is bitterly opposed to any negotiations with the Republican authori? ties, and insists upon advancing to Paris to crush the revolution before the lever can ex? tend to Germany. MOVEMENTS AND MASCH OF THE PRUSSIANS - FEELING OF THE PEOPLE. LONDON. September 12. A special correspondent at Rheims, o.i the Cth, says the beadqparters of tbs Kins were -;etabliahed here yesterday, and are to remain till the 9th, to civ9 all the troops time to come np and concentrate, mein line what can be spared from Metz. Seven North German corps, besides two Bavarian and Wurtemburg crop?, ?are on the road unhindered, according to official report. Six full cavalry divisions are expected to reach Paris on the 13th or 14th. When the regiments DOW coming forward arrive, and the reserves also on the ?way join their regiments, the German armv will certain? ly reach and proDably exceed 400 OOO men. The inhabitants everywhere reproach the Em? peror, but do not favor * repuDlic. They are all anxious for peace, and mostly favor the Comw de Pane. A special at Berlin, the 9tb, tavs the Duke of mecklenburg with the nr:t and seventh divisions of the ninth corps, here? tofore in Schleswig-Holstein, ?nd two (livr? ions of reserves and landwher, being tbe army formed at Homburg, in the Palatinate, is ou the way to Pans. Here and elsewhere all Une troops and reserve battalions are gone. Guard and garrison service is performed bv the land? wehr. Mo8teriog here, and at Tergau, in Silesia, continues. Landwehr officere absolved from military obligations years ago, are noti? fied I J hold themselves ready for eventual service. A FOBC2 THAT WILL CBUSH BESISTANOE. Bismarck has 6aid he will have such a tre? mendous force in France as must crush resist? ance, and especially prevent everywhere the organization of new forces. But for the nation? al clamor for Alsace and Lorraine, it is certain Bismarck would be content with Uetz and Strasbourg held as national fortresses. " BAIiESE ?>" A TO WEBING PASSION. It is reported that Bazaine not only ref used capitulation when informed that the Emperor and McMahon's ai my were prisoners, and when the Emperor advised the surrender of Metz, but declared, ina towering passion, that he would not respect Napoleon's wishes, and would shoot any French officer advising a sur? render. BUSS IA AND AUSTBIAOPPOSE BEPUBLICAN PRANCE. It is believed Russia and Austria h ve reject? ed all overtures, and will not stir for Republi? can France. UNPALATABLE ADVICE. Tho Journal de St. Petersberg, semi-official, tells France substantially that she bad better yield Alsace and so much of Lorraine as Ger? many needs. THE BECOGNITION OF THE FBENCH B3PUBLIC BT AMERICA wae to be expected, bat the Bjrlin Foreign of? fice thia ks the extreme waimtb of America's declaration implies a partial withdrawal of sympathy from Prussia, following so closely after Secretary Fish's refusal to protest against the expulsion o! Germans from France. THE BALTIC BLOCK ADS H ineffective. Vessels enter and leave Danlzlg and Konieeburs freely. The French flseet have great difficulty in getting coal, i he .ex? pense is enormous. The blockade will proba? bly soon be abandoned. THE MOTHES AND SON. Her meeting with the Prince Imperial on Fridav mornlag was most ead and touching. The Prince threw himself weeping into his mother's arms, sobbing. "0, mon pauvre papa .'" The Empresa behaved with extreme dignity and tenderness. No newspaper in Hastings yesterday alluded to the arrival of the Empress, the secret being kept by common consent. In the course of the div ? messen? ger with letters from tbem both "for the Em? peror, indorsed by the Prussian Embissy in London, left Dover for Ostend on his woy io Wi I Lei m eh ohe. The Em pre es 8?nt for ajfthe newspapers of the day immediately after ber arrival, and watches the course of evsnts with tbe moat lively attention. Last evening ber Majesty waa indisposed, and a physician was sent for. By an extraordinary coincidence Dr. Blackstone was called in. who, twenty-two years ago. in the same town, attended Louis Philippe, then newly arrived itt England ni an exile from France. This morning her Majesty made her first appearance in public at Hast? ings. She attended miss in the morning at the Catholic chapel with M. de Lesseps, Madame Thierry, and the Prince Imperial. A great crowd assembled about the chapel. As she passed through the ranks ot the people all ; took off their hats with a general impulse of respectful sympathy, which the Empress ac? knowledged by gravely bowing, and tue Prince by takine offhia op." The Empress'face was fu> I of subdued but visible emotion. Heoric Defence of Strn?baurg. LONDON, September ll. The news from Srraebouie is more favorable io the defenders. Their conduct recalls the most heroic ages of history. The inhabitants ' ne with tue army in courage and endurance, iud though tbe city is literally almost pound id to pieces, the fortifications are compaialive y untouched, and the fire of the garrison upoa he besiegers is kept up witb uoremitting | i lint and terribie efficiency. The exaspera- ? ion of the Als it lana daily increases, and the iountry swarms with guerillas, who harass he German lines by day and by night. < Italy Marching on Rome. ? PARIS, September ll. Signor Mordini arrived in Paris this evening. Se brings the assurance that the Italian Gov? ernment has determined to forestall all revo? lutionary movements In Italy and Rome by an ' official occupation of the Roman territory, ! without the slightest intention of harming the Pope, but to preserve the Catholic world Irotn , i great catastrophe. Several members of the College of Cardinals have given in their adhe? sion to the necessity of this step. The Italian army now holds all the roads north and south leading Into the Roman territory. An Italian , squadron is at Civita V?cenla. No conflict is anticipated with the Zouaves, General Kenzler, < the Papal War Minister, having given his opin? ion that the Papal forces do not Justify any attempt at resistance. The Prussian govern? ment has notified tne Italian government that lt has no intention of Interfering in any way with the question ol' Rome. Upon the occu? pation of the city a popular vote will be taken throughout the Papal States upon the annexa- j lion of the Papal territory to Italy. Thc Emperor at Cawse 1. OSTEND, September ll. The Morgen Zeitung, of Hesse Cassel, gives particulars of the arrival of the Emperor Napo? leon at Cassel. He was accompanied by Gene? rals Felix Douay and Lebrun as prisoners on pa? role, and by a brilliant staff ol' French officers on parole. The Prussian civil and military au? thorities of Hesse, in full uniform, received him at the station with a company of Prussian Inlanty as a guard of honor, and a squadron of : hussars keeping back the people. The Em pe- , ror, who was received with an imperial salute, wore the uniform of a lieutenant-general, but no sword. His breast was covered with or? ders, and he wore an undress scarlet kepi. He ls quite corpulent, and looked very gray, but browned in complexion and well, AS he ste oped out of his royal railway carriage on the platform the drums beat and the guard Eresented arms. By the order of King Wil? gin, two chamberlains of the Court ol' Prus? sia are In attendance upon the Emperor. Latest from i!ie Prussian Headquarters.

Trochu reviewed the troops about Paris, and expressed his entire satisfaction with them, and ol his confidence in their ability to defend Paris. The latest dispatches say that the Pope is de? termined to remain in the Vatican. The Pope repudiates all of Victor Emanuel's propo sals; but all of the Italian populations have made demonstrations celebrating the Italian occupation. Prussian Reports. BRUSSELS, September 14. It is almost certain that Prussia will refuse to consent to an armistice, on the ground that if unsuccessful, military operations, will be de? layed until an unfavorable season. THE CREAM OF THE WAR LETTERS. Thc E:iai|>m:nt of the Prnsniaa Army. In everything the equipment of the Teutonic army now in the field, especially of the Prus? sian portion, is superior to that ot the French. The moment I saw prisoners from Saarbr?cken I was struck with the poverty-stricken look oi the French "liners" us compared with the Ger? man regulars. The components of the Prus? sian soldier's uniform are very simple, but full ot taste and convenience. He-can make a drinking cup out of his helmet, and can carve meat with its spike. He wears a bluish tunic, with red collar, cuffs and lappeis, a stout pair of dark-colored trowsers; carries a thick, ex? cellent blanket, a canteen, a cooking caa, and a well-planned knapsack in undressed calfskin. His iatlgue cap is flat, bordered with red. He has an undress uniform ol coarse flax cloth, and a pair of white pants. The pockets and folds of his clothing are so managed that he can carry in them numberless little things for camp use. When he bivouacs, he plants his gun against his bayonet, put his side-arms hanging on them, and caps them with his helmet I have seen ten thousand of these helmets poised thus in a long plain, making one sheeny mass, with which the bright grass and the waving grain beyond mixed their colors recklessly as j It does Millais. Field discipline is perfect, too; a brigade lying in an open lot under the hot sun. is as gentlemanly as Its individual mem? bers would be In a town. It is remarkably quiet, too; there is no swagger or bluster among the most brawny of the troops. A squadron ol hussars, with its beautiful horses, richly trapped, ls a magnificent sight. Each man sits erect as a statue, with one hand orr the carbine laid upon his saddle-pommel, and one might fancy a review of Centaurs taking place. The officers, from force of habit, con? tracted in the ancient army when it was com? posed entirely of mercenaries, still bawl their orders to their men, instead of giving them In decent and dignified language. There is a greater variety of fancy uni? forms in the Prussian army than in any other army in Europe. The cavalry have the greatest wealth of dress, and a cavalry officer Is a sight for gods and men. The "cuiras? siers." rather a useless body, I fancy, are clad in a queer middle-age dress, quite full of splen? dor. The soldiers wear a metal neimen and breastplate, and gray tunic and trowsers, taste? fully embroidered. All the cavalry Is well mounted, and the artillery has abundance of good, active, and plenty of spare horses. The provision and baggage trains are so organized that they are always close to tue marching column. The sutlers or "market tenders," as they call themselves, arc all numbered by companies, and come up in a compact proces? sion near the rear. There is always a number ol women with each regiment as vivandi?res, nurses, &c. Some ol the young Prussian girls of noble family have not hesitated to put on the coarse dress of the hospital nurse. GREELEY CHARGES HIS TURE. Changed Aspects. [From the New York Tribune of Monday.] Two months ago Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was Emperor of France. He saw flt to de? clare war against Prussia on a most frivolous pretext. In the first place, If Spain saw flt to make a Hohenzollern her King, it was none of the said L. N. B.'s business; in the next place, when the German Prince declined the Spanish throne, even the pretext was taken away. We know of few wars more wanton and unjust than that waged against Prussia by Napoleon Prussia took up the gauntlet so wantonly thrown down; her King explaining that lie warred upon Napoleon, not on the French people. In a very short time he had routed Bonaparte*? armies In half a dozen pitched battles, 6hut up one army In Metz, and sur? rounded another at Sedan, where It was com? pelled TO surrender at discretion, Napoleon himself belntr among the prisoners. If King William was sincere in his profes? sions, what excuse is there for prolonging the struggle ? Napoleon made unjust war upon him; Napoleon is utterly discomfited and his rlsoner. We c .nnot see that any one is to lame lor this but Napoleon for undertaking to whip William, or William for not letting him do it. They must arrange it between them. Germany was assailed, and she has crushed her assailant. Her safety was imperilled, but her enemy is now in her power. We think she has a right to insist on reasonable guaran? tees against another French attack, and per? haps to some compensation for the heavy ex? penditure toj which Napoleon subjected her; l)iit she hus no rljrht to make France her cassai, nor to subject Its capital und all its provinces to the devastations inseparable from ivar. In short, she ought either to propose or ! iccept reasonaole lertus of peace. If siie undertakes to replace the despot she ! aas crushed on the throne lie has madly sub- ! rerted, or In any manner evinces a disposi ,lon to protract the war needlessly ami with ' ntent fc> reduce the French to vassalage, tho 1 sympathies so bounteously extended to her jiy the generous and liberty-loving throughout ' Jhrlatendom will be wholly withdrawn, and :he names of Bismarck and William will be ?xposed to the Just execration of mankind. j Hands o fr: ? [From the New Tork Tribune, of Monday.] ] If King William has given orders that Na- ( poleon shall be treated in captivity not as a leposed emperor but as an actual sovereign, lt loes not necessarily lollow that he is resolved not to recognize the Frenoh Republic The aew government has as yet been formally ac? knowledged by none ol the powers of the ivorld except the United States, Switzerland, italy and SDain; technically, therefore, Napo- . leon ls still considered the legitimate ruler of France not only by Prussia, but by Great Brit- I ?tin, Austria, Russia, Denmark, Sweden and all i the minor States of Europe, several of which will undoubtedly acknowledge the Republic before many weeks have elapsed. The Old 1 World monarchies will naturally defer the day i is long a<* they can, but they have no expecta? tion of deterring it forever. The interpidtation, therefore, which som-3 of the foreign conespondonts have place! upon the Kind's order m ly b?am'B*ali9i one, and we sincerely hope it is. We do net suppose an absoluli3: like tha King of Prussia caa view with equanimity the establishment of a reDro sentitive government in the very headquarters of t o3iri8m; but there is no proof as yet thai be purposes overthrowin? is. When Napoleon threatened him because be allowed a <"erm*n Prince to be nominated for the throne of Spain, he replied thttt it was not h's duty to in? terfere, and Spain mast bo allowed to suit her- 1 self, ls it now bis pur jose to deny to France j what he conc9ued to Spain, the right of cuoos lug her own ruler and fixing her own form of government ? The whole civilized world bas 1 an interest in preventing anv such unwirrant- j able interference with the inalienable rights of nations. The French people have submitted for eighteen years to a d?8potism with which they were not at hoart conteuted; the King of Prussia has thrown it off for them, and if vague rumor is to be credited he now wishes to impose it again. He subverted one govern- 1 ment of France, and as soon as the people have ?etupror themselves, he threatens-so thev tell us-to subvert another. 'Ibis would be ? Crime ngainst which all Europe and all Ameri? ca should cry out, ami one whicn would no? where be more severely condemned than in the Germao States themselves. It is not for deeds such a.! this that the Teutonic rac; bas besn consolidating itself into a single great nation. . The progress of Go-many means the progress of liberal ideas, intelligence, and freedom; and we cannot believe that the German people will i consent to an outrage such as Kiog William is now re Dor ted to contemplate upon the inde pende-ce of France. THE GOVERRORIOF RAEIS. Interesting Particulars about Trocha, A few particulars concerning General Tro chu, the new Governor of Paris, may not be uninteresting. He is the author ol a remarkable book upon the French army, the matter and style of which are highly praise I by competent critics. An objection to it is raised upon the ground of its being pervaded hy a religious eplrit, which Is alleged to interiore, at times, with the otherwise clear perception ol" the writer. It is a singular objection, and shows what ure the sentiments ol his critics. The General is a devounl Koman Catholic, and as? sorts "that the soldier who is a practical believer-the Breton especially-makes the most valiant trooper of the army, because he has lilith in the Immortality ot the soul, and this laith in a resurrection helps him lo die bravely and well." One might on reading these views imagine one's-self thrown back bodily into the old Pu? ritan times, the .'Praise-God-Birebones'' regiments over again in the flesh. The Generals theory is stoutly denied, ami probably the hard-he-rted critics are near? er tlie mark than the General when thev 6ay, somewhat irreverently, that "in front or the enemy, a soldier is more intent upon killing his toe and saving his own Siiin than upon thinking of the safety ol his soul." Trochu's book is a formal, energetic, uncompromising protest against favoritism in any form, the abuses and perils of which he points out with unsparing pen. His quill is like a lancet. It probes the sore to the very bone. He de? nounces red-tapism, routine, old notion com? missions, and the whole system of the milita ry administration o? me ampire, wnicn, a Sersisted in, "will imperil France nhould she e seriously attacked." Forbacb, Weissen burg and Reischoffen seem to hare Justified the veteran, though young, General's fore? bodings. This outburst against the admin? istration of Marshal Lebouf, a thorough partisan of the old system, brought him into disrepute with the ex-MinTster of War, who set him quite aside. When "men" came into request after the recent reverses, Trochu lound his place. He stands in repute as a tactician, although he has never manoeu? vred w'th more than a division, and then only at the end of a battle. At Magenta, where he greatly distinguished himself, the Austrians were already retreating when he appeared upon the field. At Solferino his battalions were most skilfully disposed for striking the last decisive blow. His advance-suddenly ar? rested by the terrific storm-was one ol the finest movements of the day. His division was always regarded as a certain, solid re? serve, to be thoroughly depended upon. At Sebastopol, he led an assault on the left of the fortress, at the head of a brigade, and was dis? abled by a severe .wound. As aide-de camp to Bugeaud, and cbiei of Saint Arnaud's stan", he gained a large and valuable experi? ence of the combinations the march ol an army necessitates, and though he had no op ?iortunlty In the Crimea, nor In Italy, of apply nghls knowledge practically, upon a large scale, his manouvres at Magenta and Solferino demonstrated that ne had thoroughly under? stood the general plan of these battles, and determined lils own movements upon it with mathematical precision. In a subordinate manner, he lt was who presided over the battle of the Alma. He notified the deiay ol the English advance, and lie suggested the change of plan this delay rendered necessary. His antecedents, his thorough honesty, his kind and conciliatory manner, his well-known cour? age and indomitable energy and firmness. In? spire the Parisians with the fullest confidence in him, and "Paris sleeps tranquil." THE NEW ADVANCE. Nomination or Wendell Phillips for Governor of Massachusetts? BOSTON. September 12. Wendell Phillips accepts the Labor Reform nomination for Governor in the following letter : I have no wish to be Governor ol Massachu? setts, and flattering as is this confidence, I thoroughly dislike to have my name drawn Into Rarty politics, for I belong to no political party; but I see nothing In your platform from which I dissent, and the struggle which under? lies your movement has my lullest and hear? tiest sympathy. Capital and labor are part? ners-not enemies. They stand face to face in order to bring about a fair division of common profit. I am nilly convinced that hitherto leg? islation has leaned too much-leaned most un? fairly-to the side of capital. Hereafter we should be impartial. Law should do all It can to give the masses more leisure, more complete education, better op? portunities, and a mir share of profit. It is a shume to our Christian city and civilization for our social system to provide and expect that one man at seventy years- of age should be lord of many thousands of dollars, while hundreds of other men, who have made as good use of their talents and opportunities, lean on charity for their dally bread. Of course there must be irregularities, but the best minds and hearts ot thc land should give themselves to the work of changing this gross Injustice, this appalling irregularity. I feel sure that the readiest way to Inrn the public thought and effort into this channel is tor the working men to organize a political party. No social question ever gets fearlessly treated here until we make politics turn on it. The real American college ls the ballot box, and on questions like these a political party ls the surest and the readiest, if not the only way to stir discussion and secure im? provement. If my name will strengthen your cause you are welcome to it, Allow me to add that, though working for a large vote, if we Tail we should not-be discouraged by a small one. Last years experience shows your strengt h.and the anti-sluvery movement proves how quickly a correct principle wins assent If earnest men work for it. WENDELL PHILLIPS. Wendell Phillips accepts the candidature lor Governor of Massachusetts upon the Pro? hibitory Law platiorm. This is in addition to His candidature at the hands of the Labor Re? form party. LETTER FROM THE HON. LINTON STEPHENS. ATLANTA. September 14. The Constitution publishes a letter from the Hon.

GRAST THTNRS WASHBDRXE I* TOO GREAT A HURRY,-A Washington letter of Monday Bays: The administration is not well pleased with Mr. Waehburne's recent condnct in Paris, and the m inner in wbicb he announced his (.'rati? fication at the formation of a French Republic. Mr. Fish, it is said, has officially informed him that bis conduct ?B cousideied very undiplo? matic. The dispitcht-s eent to our ministers in relatiou to the war were very equivocal. Pretideut Uraut and Secretary Fisb both want to have better assurances of the stability of the French Republic before they accord it an abso lete recognition. They were willing to recog? nize the de Judo government tor the time being, and t ) deal with it wnenever necessary, but they recognize thc fact tliat the war is not yet over, and that King William may yet chango the whole aspect of political affurs. Indeed, as matters look now, be proposes to treat with Napoleon as the proper ruhr of France and to utterlv ignore the new government. The ad? ministration seem; to think that thc policy of the United States is to <vu:t a little longer, and so we bow to King William. -Thc Rev. Mr. Fleming, a distinguished clergyman ol London, in 1699, in the most modest manner, at the request of his congrega? tion, elucidated the Revelations. He cited a passage which to his mind meant the over? throw ol the French monarchy in 1789; another which signified a terrible blow against the Pope in 1808. another overthrow of the French monarchy in 1848, and a blow against the Pope, and finally a great war in 1855 grow? ing out of Turkey. He said that he had in? terpreted great events lor a century and a half, and it was useleBS to go further into the future. But that the great ware and calamities preceding the millennium were to commence, as he thought, in 1870. The remarkable veri? fication ol preceding events certainly gives strength to the remaining interpretation. jruiiiimo J.J? .? .i/u i/.i. A SnccuRful Reform Meeting. r.FROM OUR OW;,- CORRESPONDENT.] MARION. S. C., September 13. Yesterday we had the pleasure of hearing our nominees lor Governor and Lieutenants Governor. Sunday evening Judge Carpenter, General Butler, General Kennedy and Rev. Jonas Byrd arrived at the depot, where they were met by a committee and escorted to the' | hotel. Early yesterday, crowds came pouring into the village from north, east, south and west, and by ll o'clock A. M. about one thou? sand men were on the Courthouse square, waiting Impatiently for the treat they lelt was in store for them. A few minutes after this, our guests were escorted by the central executive committee, and other gentlemen of prominence, to the stand which had been erected Just ia front of "he courthouse building. General Harllee, in u lew words, Introduced General John W. Ken? nedy, who spoke long and well. He first ad? dressed himself to the colored men, and then to the whites, producing a good effect upon both. General Butler was then introduced by Colonel W. S. Mullins, who, in endorsing Gen? eral Butler, paid him a very high and merited compliment, In the Colonel's usual happy style. General Butler's speech tools ur all by surprise. We expected something good, but had no idea how well a man can speak when battling for right and denouncing wrong. Forcibly, eloquently and earnestly General Butler spoke, showing clear? ly and indisputably the lraud and corruption practiced by the Columbia Ring. Many color? ed men had their eyes opened to the Injustice done them by their pretended Radical friends by this argument, and declared they would no longer be duped. One instance, i? our own county, where J. H. Jenks sold to the Land Commission, fer $6 per acre, land which would be dear at 60 cents per acre, was alluded to In support of his argument. During his speech. General Buller was several times interrupted by the Radical senator, H. E. Hayne, but the General's replies evidently discomfited the questioner. Judge Carpenter, though hoarse and seem? ingly much fatigued, vindicated the good name given him as an orator by THE NEWS. He was listened to attentively, and will now receive the support of many who were before unwilling to vote for him. Rev. Jonas Byrd made the closing speech, and did it well. He exhorted his race to come In und stand on the broad platform offered by the Union Reform party, side by side with the white man, and thus free our little State from the misrule which we now suffer. The meeting was in the main harmonious, and the apparent effect is quite encouraging. In the evening the Rads, had a counter speechifying, the speaker being one Colonel J. W. St. Clair, who must be quite a recent con? vert, since he spoke some few weeks ago In opposition to Colonel Graham, at a meeting of j the Rads, in the upper portion of the county. "If he's a mind to have them friends, Lord bless him let him go." While on politics. I give the nominees of the respective parties for this county : ONION REFORM. For the Legislature-Rev.

Corn crops are generally good. PEEDEE. A NEW COTTON PICKING MACHINE.-The Louisville Courier-Journal announces a ma. chine that will certainly pick cotton, and thus describes lt : The tnachit.e is called the Southern Cotton picker, and is the invention of Mr. Wm. Ap- j perly, assisted by Mr. John Pearce and Captain John T. Sherley, all ot this city. The machine consists of lour wheels and running gear simi? lar to an ordinary wagon, except that all ls of I iron. In the centre of the bed are a series of I columns of fullers' teasels, an article used In giving the nap to cloth. It is simply the dried Head of a plant, cone-shaped, and covered with, a number of sharp curved points. These teasels are contained in a cylinder of wire, and the entire set are raised and lowered by means of pulleys. The machine ls mn directly over the cotton rows, and the frame containing the columns of teasels lowered upon the plant. The frame ls raised and the sharp points of the teasels strip the plant of all the cotton that is full ripe. Leaves, stems and unripe cotton are all re? jected. A down motion of the frame strips the cotton from the frame by a set of stationary teasels, and with their points reversed and de? posit?' it in a receptacle made for it, from which it can be taken at pleasure. The test yesterday was very satisfactory, and the opin? ion was expressed by those present that one of the smallest-sized machines and two men would do the work of thirty expert hands. A company called the Southern Cotton Picking Company has been formed, and the manufac? ture of the machines will be carried on exten? sively. It ls estimated that the machines will cost from $400 to $1000, according to size. The rights of various districts in Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and other Stales, have ai? rea ly been disposed of, although the machine was only patented last month. The machine is very simple in construction, and is destined td work a great revolution in the labor system of the South. B faner? ?oo?s, &t.
