DEATH TO ALL WHO STAND IX THE WAY. THE CAIX-DeLARGE CONVENTION. THE COUNTY TICKET, Despite the assertions of the Hurley-Bowen supporters thar the adherents of DeLarge would not hold a convention. Daddy Cain, who ts the lender of the DeLarge faction, held a convention yesterday which, for order, far surpassed the ..regular convention" held on the 12th. R. H. Cain, shortly after 12 o'clock, called the meeting to order, and read his call, de? nouncing the action ofW. H. Mishaw, "the pretended county chairman/' in calling a con? vention on the 12th of September, and declar? ing that the delegates elected under his (Mi shaw's) call were not fairly elected. On concluding the reading of his call, Mr. Cain, after expressing the hope that the delib? erations of this body would be of such a char? acter as would reflect honor upon it and In? sure to the people all of their rights, retired from the chair. On motion of L. Bunch. Mr. George Lee. ol Summerville, and late member ot the Legis? lature, was elected chairman. On taking the chair Mr. Lee said that this was the time for work anil not lor talking, ami announced that the convention was ready for business. On motion ot L.

A COLORED NORTHERNER INSULTED. The committee retired, and. during their tbsence, Rev. Mr. Adams, chaplain ot the last 11 legislature, was called upon and de- JI Iverdd -au address. His speech mainly onsisted of a modest statement of his efforts or the last twenty years in the United States. ?n the sands and in the jungles of Africa, in lehalf of the colored people. He admitted bat he had been derided, insulted on the ight and on the left, all because he had come rom the North, but he was a citizen ot the Jnlted States, and therefore a citizen of South ,'arolina. He condemned the action of the rhlte men who had come Into ihe State and lad sown the seed of discord among the col red people, to divide them auci ride upon heir, shoulders Into office, from which they joked down upon the colored men with con itnpt' He urged the colored men to stand by each tiler; ilk y could not afford to be divided: rhenever the tug of war comes, the whites rill fall on one side and the blacks on the llier. Some ol' the very white men whom the olored men follow and support would not in ite tlie colored men in to partake of a social spas! with them; uo, they consider the color d mau their political and not their social qua!. As Mr. Adams was concluding his speech, wo colored men got in a squabble, and one of hem aAer asserting that he had (ought lour ears In the army, expressed the desire to ghi lor a few moments in the hall.

Hammond was called upon, and [1er eulogizing DeLarge, denounced Bowen, he latter, said the speaker, could not repre >nt ?tim either morally or Intellectually, hose cliarges'against him unfitted him for ^presenting ilie people. The speaker was oposed to Wuitr>inore for the reason that lere were damaging charges against him also, [e knew Hun Wliittemore had appropriated loney which he had collected in his district >r school purposes: and when he said that he ould not dud a colored boy In his district com? eten! to be a ellet, he simply lied. The peaker had no doubt .that Whittemotv had old the cadetshlp, and Bowen also. Against ?eLarge no such charges could be brought ?ie only charge against him was that he had lade money. This, said the speaker, wa? no mit; he liked to see people make money. ?eLarge hal speculated and made money, le did nothing more than the business men f our city have done and are doing.

During this wran? gle, Cain was calle.! upon and spoke for fifteen alnutes. He admitted that there was grear, rand, bribery and corruption in the last Le ;lslature, but not more than In ronnel- ones. The only difference betweeu them was, that he numbers ot the lonuer bodies were more ikilful in Iii Hu,' iheir rascality. lite mem >ers of the l ist Legislature, not being so learn KI as their predecessors, were unable to con seal their oftiuces.

At the regular meeting of the Stonewall Fire Ecgine Company, held on the evening of the 21st inst., the following preamble and resolu? tions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, lt has pleased God, in his inscrnti ble wisdom, to remove from our midst a dearly cherished member, md to occasion thereby, for the first lime in the history of our company, a vacancy which cannot be-filled for a long day, it is but proper that we, his former friends aud now survivors, should adopt some resolu? tions indicative of the grief we feel for bis loss. lu our collective capacity it is permitted us to mourn the premature death of one whose .zeal for the welfare of this company never falter? ed-whose devotednesa to its best interest can never bo forgotten. As a polished gentleman, we admired him; a prompt compliance with the requisites of usase and decorum evir/dig nified his deportment. As a useful member of our company, we valued him, for we were not ignorant of bia worth. As a friend we loved him, for we knew him well. His pure record and hn.li character will ever be ch?riahed by this company. But while we mourn for him, stricken down in the full vigor of his manhood, we are solaced by the reflection that his death has been appoiuted by one "who giveth Ind who taketh away." Our sorrow is assuaged by knowing that, what lo our poor judgmeut seems a heavy visi? tation, proves frequently tobe the dark dis? guise which celestial benedictions often as? sume. There lore, bs it Resolved, That in the death of William Harra I, Jr., this company has lost a zealous member and a faithtul comrade, aud the com? munity a most promising citizeo. Resolved, That while we lament the prema? ture end of one so deservedly dear to aa all, we yet cherish the rememberance of his virtues, of his sincere aud manlv disposition. Resolved, That a Dlauk page in our Minute Book be inscribed to bia memory, and that we wear the usual badge of mourning at our next parade. Resolved', That the above prcamb'o and res? olutions be published iu the CHABLESTON DAILY NEW and Courier, and a copy of tbe same be sent to his family. From the minutes. War. G.

WARING, sep22-thstnlmo_Cashier! ?S9-HALF ALIVE.-IT IS A SAD THING to pats through life only half alive. Yet there are thousands whose habitual condition ls one of languor and debility. They complain of no speci? fic disease; they suffer no positive pam, but they have no relish for anything which affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their more robust and energetic fellow-beings. In nine cases out of ten this state of lassitude and torpor arises from a morbid stomach. Indi? gestion destroys the energy of both mind anil body. When the waste of nature is not supplied by a due and regular assimilation of the food, every organ ls starved, every function inter? rupted. Now, what does common sense suggest under these clrcuinstauces or depression f The system needs rousiug and strengthening; not merely for au hour or two, to sink afterward Into a more pitiable condition than ever (as lt assuredly would dolf an ordinary alcoholic stimulant were resort? ed to,) but radically and permanently. HDW la this desirable object tobe accomplish? ed ? The answer to this question, founded on the unvarying experience of a quarter of a century, ls easily given. Infuse new vigor luto the diges? tive org ns by a. course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Do not waste time In administering tem? porary remedies, but wake the system up by re? cuperating the fountain-head of physical streusth and euergy, the great organ upon which all the other organs depend for their nurture aud sup? port. . By the time that a doscu doses of the great vegetable tonic and luvigorant have been taken the feeble frame of the dyspeptic will begin to feel its benign Influence. Appetite will be created, and with appetite the capacity to digest what lt craves. Persevere until the cure ls complete until healthful blood, Ut to be the material or flesh and ?uuscli? bone aud nerve, aud bralu, flows th ough the chaunels of circulation, Instead of the watery pabulum with which they have heretofore been Imperfectly nourished. sep24-0 DAC _ pa GETTING MARRIED -ESSAYS for Young Men on Social Evils, and the propriety o impropriety of getting Married, with sanitary help for those who feel unfitted -or matrimonial happiness.
