[FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.] GBAH?UIVILLE, October 4. The progress of the Reform movement bas at length reached this place, nestled in the very centre of Radicalism. We were informed on Friday last that if a meeting could be gotten up, speakers from Charleston would address it on Monday, 3J inst. The notice was short, but we circulated the inionnation as well as nc could, and on Monday, at the appointed hour, the white citizens who were within reach generally attended. About fitly or sixty colored man wore aleo present. Tho meeting was called to order. And Mr. Charles E. Bell re? quested to act as ohairniin. After explaining in a few words the purpose of the meeting, be successively introducer*. Mr. William Black aod the Rev. Adam Jackson, who addressed the meeting in forcible and well received speeches. J. N. Nathans, Esq., was toen introduced. This gentleman, before he commenced speak? ing, asked if there was any member of thc Radical party present who would like to be heard, and invited him to the stand. Mr. James T. BOIHU, a leading man among the Radicals of this vicinity, accepted tho invita? tion, and for a few m jnients addressed those of bis party who were present, warning them against false prophets, ic. Mr. Nathans then commenced speaking, and for tho space of an boor comminded tpe closo attention of his audience by the cogency of bis reasoning, the eloquence of bis language, the aptness of his illustrations, and hi? impressive and earnest manner. Several of the points dwelt upou by bim were of special interest to his colored bearers, and bia facts aud arguments will, and in fact have already, set them to thinking for themselves. Everything went off quietly, and the only aubjectof regret was that mere was eo small attendance; however, that small attend? ance was encouraging, when wo remember that this is the first Reform meeting held in this parish, whicb is as weil drilled in Radical tactic* as Beaufort itself. The Reform speakers deserve the thanks of the party for the thorough mainer in wnioh they performed their work, and from what we have beard from various quarters, wo think that another visit frjtn the eloquent geetlemen. wi tn longer notice, would be atteudfd with great success.

Coker, et ai.-Where the deed of trust required payment of the pro? ceeds of the settled property to the wile, "on her receipt," held, that the words employed created an interest to her sole and separate lise. Where, on the receipt by the wife on he pro? ceeds, no restriction was placed on her dispo? sition of them, and alter the death of thetrus tee, her husband, who had heen his agent, (by virtue of a power in the deed,) continued manage the estate, and paid to a third perron such proceeds lor supplies furnished the trust property and the family, and this course dealing continued lor nearly twenty years, with the full knowledge and acquiescence the wife,/a bill will not be entertained by substituted trustee, to demand an account from such person ol the proceeds so received. Where the end intended to be accomplished by the settlement had been fully attained, equity will not allow an account against puny dealing with the husband, in (he proceed! of the trust property, held to the sole separate use of the wife, because the technic:! requisition in the instrument, that the said proceeds should be paid to her, "on her re? ceipt," had not heen complied with. wnere it is plain from the wnoie transac? tion that the legal title to a tract of land was to be regarded as a security for the money ad? vanced for its purchase, equity will consitlei :he vendee only, entitled to claim by way of nortgage, and will order the premises sold lor :he satisfaction ot the sum advanced. Where the husband or the cestui que trust confessed a Judgment, in which was Included :he debt due for the money advanced tor the land; held, that it was not to be regarded as satisfaction of the claim ol the plaintl?", by? way of mortgage of thu land for thc said ad? vances. Taking a higher security, if accepted os satisfaction, extinguishes a lower one for the same debt; if, however, the whole transac? tion shows that such satislaction was not in-11 tended, lt will not be allowed. It never can be so held, where an instrument was executed at the time, in regard to the confession, stipulat? ing that "no right to claim any and all such property, or money, as may now be liable for the said debt, was waived." Where the husband Bold some of the slaves conveyed by the trust deed, and all the chil? dren bl age released and assigued their right to the purchaser, he will be required to ac? count to the wile {cestui que trust) for the annual Interest of the purchase money during the term to which she was entitled to the pro? ceeds of the settled property, the Circuit Court in and by its decree having elected lor the wile and infant child to confirm the sale. The slaves were part of the corpus of the estate, and their sale not affected by the principles which the court applied to the disposition ot the proceeds of their labor, willi the acquies? cence of t he wife. Where, on such 6ale, it is proved that cer? tain mules were a part of the consideration, ind that they were used and detained by and tor the benefit of the trust estate, a credit must be allowed for their price ou the account o be had for the Interest oil the purchase money of the slaves, they being regarded tis substituted In part for thc property conveyed >J the trust deed. Where a defendant Is called into conrt by ;ill, he must answer accordiug to the forms ind usage ol thc court, it he desires his ans ver to have the effect which the rules ot equity .leadings accord to the defence In that lorm nade. The practice of accepting service, and ?onsentlngto the prayer of the bill, will not be avered. "Decree modified. [Opinion by the :bief Justice.] White, Trustee, vs. Kibler, A?minislra'.or. The accounts of a trustee should be examined is a whole, and the referee is not warranted tgainst objection made, in disjointing the ac :ount, and taking only what he may regard he Items "outside ot the payment to the ces ui que trust and new investments," from which to ascertain the result. The party accounting has the right to de ir^nd an examination ol his v. hole account, and the balance ls to be struck between all his receipts and disbursements. In the motle pre? scribed by the leponed d?cisions. Particular circumstances may justify a de? parture from the general rule, and muse be ap? plied in strict analogy to the reason on which such general rule is founded. A report made by disjointing the accounts, showing a large balance against the trustee, will more readily be set aside, when the Cir? cuit Chancellor, although lu the main confirm? ing it, states in his decree thar, lt the account had been taken in the usual manner, the re? sult would show a sum due the trustee. Decree set aside and new account ordered. [Opinion by the Chief Justice.] SPARKS FROM TUE WIRES.

Count BUnmrck's Reply to J?I. Jaie* Favre. Count Bismarck has addressed the following circular lo the diplomatic representatives of the North German Confederation. It Is dated MEADS, Friday, September IC. Your Excellency ls familiar with the circu? lar which M. Jules Favre has addressed to the foreign representatives of France, In the name of the men for the present holding pow? er In Paris, and who call themselves "Le Gouv? ernement de la Defence Nationale." I have learned at the same time that M. Thiers has ' entered upon a confidential mission to the loreign courts, and I may presume that lie ! will endeavor on the one hand to create a be? lief In the love for peace of the present Pari- ! slan Government, and on the other request the intervention of the neutral powers in favor 1 of a peace which shall deprive Germany of the truite of her victories, and prevent every basis of peace which would make the next attack of , France on Germany more difficult. We cannot believe in Hie sincerity ol'Hie desire of the pres? ent government to make peace so long as it continues, by Its language and Its acts at home, to excite the passions of the people, und lo in? crease the hatred and bitterness of a popula? tion stung by tho sufferings of war, and to repudiate in advance every basis acceptable to Germany as unacceptable by France. Bv such I cour.se it becomes Impossible to make peace, . tor which the people should be prepared by calm words, and lu terms corresponding lo the gravity ot thc situation, If we are to be lievo that 'negotiations of peace with us are honestly intended. The demand that, we 1 should conclude an armistice without any guarantees for our conditions of peace, could he founded only on Hie erroneous supposition that we lack military and political Judgment, ' or are Indifferent to the interests of Germany. Moreover, the hope entertained by the present rulers in Paris of a diplomatic or material Intervention ot the neutral Powers in lavor of Frauce prevents the French poo- i pie from seeing the necessity of peace. When tlie French nation become convinced 1 thal they, having wantonly conjured up I the war alone, and Germany having had to light it out alone, and that'they . ist , ilso settle their account with Germany alone, I hey will soon put an end to their resistance ? now surely unavailing. It would be an act ol' i cruelty to the French people for the neutral ( Powers to permit the Parisian Government to i cherish among the people hopes of Interven- ( Lion that cannot be realized, and thereby to < lengthen the contest. We ure far from "any ] inclination to mix hu the Internal affairs of [ Prance. It is immaterial to us what kind of a . irovernment the French people shall formally ( establish for themselves. The government ol' \ the Emperor Napoleon has hitherto been the < only one recocnlzed by us. Our conditions of ( rwacewith whatever government, leirltimate lor the purpose, we may have to negotiate, are \ wholly independent of the question how or by \ whom tho Franch nation ls governed. They I ire prescribed lo us by the nature ot thlntrs, \ inti by the law of self-defence, against a vio- \ lent and hostile neighbor. The unanimous i voice of the German Governments and German i people demands that Germany shall be pro- i lected by belter boundaries limn we have hail i hitherto against the dangers and violence we ; have experienced from all French Govern- i tnents for centuries. As long as France re- c raains in possessiou of Strasbourg and Metz, t io long is its offensive strategically stronger 1 than ?ur defensive power, so tar as all Sinn li i Jennanv und North Germany on the lett bank j jf the Rhine are concerned. Strasbourg, tn 1 :ho possession of France, ls a gate always wide open for attack on South Germany. In i ;he hands ol' Germany. Strasbourg and Metz ( obtain a defensive character. In more thau. I .wenly wars we have never been the ajrgres- t sors on France, and we demand of the hitter i lothing else than our safety In our own land, J ?o often threatened by her. France, on the t jilter hand, will regard any peace that may be i nnde now as an armistice only, and in t irder to avenge the present defeat, will S mack us in the same quarrelsome and I ivanton manner as this year, ns soon i is it feels strong enough for it from i its own strength or from foreign alliances. In J rendering it difficult for Frauce. from whose f initiative alone hitherto the disturbances ol v Europe have resulted, to resume the offensive, i we at the same time act in the Interest ol Eu- r rope, which is that ol peace. From Germany r io disturbance of the European peace is to be 1 'eared. |After having had thi9 war Torced upon t is, which, for four years, by our care, and by I restraining the feelings of our national self- t aspect, so Incessantly outraged by France, we c lad prevented, we mean now, lor our future ? safety, io demand the price of our mighty ef- ? ort?. We demand only that which we must t mve lor our defence. Nobody will be able to t ?cense us ot want of moderation if we Insist f >n this Just and equitable demand. Your Ex- i ?ollency will make these views your own and 1 idrocate them In discussions. BISMARCK. 1 \ AN INTER VIE IF WITH NAPOLEON. An Interesting Sketch. A correspondent sends to the London Stand? ard, of September 24, the following account o? an interview with the ex-Emperor : My mind, full of gorgeous visions of an Im? perial stair In every variety of brilliant uni? form, quite failed to realize the idea that the quiet looking gentleman In a plain dark rnorn Ing-sult, who stood walting for me at the top ot the stairs, could possibly be General Reille, the Emperor's aid-de-camp, and I accordingly followed him, with but a very slight salute, into the ante-room of the dlning-saloon, where I looked vainly round for the magnificent per? sonae willi whom I expected to have to deal. Nothing, however, was to be seen but a rather small room, scantily furnlfhed, with settees covered with ragged yellow silk, and open? ing by folding-doors into a rather larger room beyond, In the centre of which stood a long, narrow table, surround? ed by very plain wooden chairs. Smiling good-naturedly at my blunder, the General courteously Informed himself of my business, and took in at once to the Emperor my letter and request lor the honor ot an audience. In less than three minutes he returned with a re? quest that I vould follow bim, and passing through an ordinarily sized room.in one of the two windows of which stood three or four gentlemen, also in plain clothes, talking In under tones, while another was busy at a table covered with numerous journals in French, German and English, the General, with the announcement "Sa Majest? VEm p?reur," ushered me through a small door in a corner of the room, and I founa myself, not only in the presence, but face to face, at less than arm's length ol bim I came to see. As I seat myself in the chair to which I am cour? teously Invited, and fix my eyes upon the worn but powerful face which turns to me from thc small writing table, from which he has risen to receive me, I feel that I am in the presence of the man on whom has hung for so many years the peace of Europe, and, with the Jeeli lg, the comic element which has de? cidedly preponderated In my experiences hitherto passes altogether away. Ii I am asked what was the predominant impression left on me Dy the conversation which followed, I reply unhesitatingly, the strong feeling of the Emperor with respect to England. Almost the first words that passed his lips were an expression ot gratification al the numerous letters of condolence and sym? pathy he received "s'.nce his misfortune" Irom persons who were perfect strangers to hlm.and Hie re was nothing on wl?ch he seemed to dwell with so much pleasure as on the advance which bas been made during his reign in the cordial understanding between the two coun? tries. "When I came to Paris." he Bald, "there: was still great remains of the old lll-teellng;" and he dwell with marked gratification on the chance that had since taken place. He wa? much interested, too, in the condition of Eng? lish feeling at the present time, questioning me closely on the subject, and expressing hi? regret at the tone assumed by a portion ot the London press. The monstrous statement of bis having misappropriate! 1 some 60.OOO.OOO of the army votes seemed particularly galling to him. "As IT," he said, UI could possibly have done Buch athlng.evenll I had desired it." He spoke nioslieelingly, also, of the terrible catas? trophe of the Captain, expressing thc strong? est sympathy, and dwelling upon some of the details of the accident lu a manner which showed tully the interest he had taken in it. The assistance elven by England to his wound? ed soldiers had evidently also made a great impression upon bim. Speaking of France, ana al the present condition of affairs there, his tone-which in dealing with other matters had been earnest, but not uncheerful-sad? dened visibly, and he sighed heavily as lie spoke of the state of things al Lyons and else? where, and of a not impossible future in store for Paris. There was not the slightest appear? ance of resentment in the way In which he spoke of the changes that had recently taken place, but a terrible foreboding of what might come, his whole air and manner iorclbly re? calling to every mind the well-known lines "Oh ! my poor kingdom, sick with civil blows, When that my care could scarce restrain tbv riots. What wilt thoa do when riot ls thy care!1" I ventured to express a hopo that all might yet go well, and that before long we might see film once more at the Tuileries. He sat for some moments silent, then, with a sigh, turn Bd again to me and said, "No one can tell-no one can tell, sir, what may happen now." Such ls a brief, but, so far as it goes, thoroughly truthful account of an interview which, I am fain to confess, lelt on me a very Jeep impression. The cordiality of my own. reception-a cordiality due, I am bound to say, inclusively to my nationality, for I had no allier claim whatever-fully confirmed th*} nore than friendly sentiments expressed to? ward my fellow-countrymen, and I left the lit? tle one-windowed room In which I had had my Brat interview willi the man who, till yester Jay, was one of the mightiest sovereigns of Europe, more than ever penetrated with P. ?enss of the loss England has experienced In bte foll. As I passed out, a loni line of sight? seers from Cassel were drawn up in front of thc principal entrance, at some twenty yards Jistant, and at the foot of the lawn, in full flew of th? room I hail Just quitted, an omni jus, gaily decorated willi Prussian, Hessiau, md other flags, was discharging Us load of J lew-comers to add to their number. I thought ince more ol'? the caretully-gnariled privacy of | ivhlch I had heard so mach-and wondered. TUE WEST IO TUE SOUTH. The Address of Welcome, by the Hon. George H.

Tbe following property WOB sold at Green? ville on Monday by the sheriff: The Paris Mountain Tract, of 1000 acres, sold as proper? ly of estate of General \V. Thompson, deceased, ads Aldridge Green-$2,600. By same, by order of Probate Judge, 240 acres, property of estate of Joseph James, deceased, for payment ol debts, ic, $709. A Shocking Occurrence. The Y uk ville Enquirer says : "One day last week, Mr. E. J. Worthy having loaded a couple of shot guns for the purpose of killing a hawk that was destroying his pigeons, let one of the guns fall which exploded, and the whole charge entered his wife'd lo?, who was sitting near by, and eo shattered the bone that it was necessa? ry to amputate near tho knee. We are glad, however, to state that she bore the stock with unusual calmness and fottitnde, and is doing as well as could possibly be expected." Thc Air-Line Railroad. The Spartanburg Spartan sayt : "The sur? veyors have at last completed their work through this place and surveyed ono line to Greenville. Several routes were surveyed through the town, and we believe it is y et unde? termined which will be adopted, bat the indica? tions are very strong in favor of the one which passes up the ravine in front of Wofford Col? lege, and crosses -Rutherford street south of the graveyard. Contracts will soon be let ont to Greenville, and the gradin? on the entire line from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Atlanta, Georgia, will probably bo completed by the first of January, 1872. Colonel Clayton is pro? gressing rapidly with his contract to Broad iii ver, which be is bound to finish by the time mentioned above. When tho grading is fin? ished it ought not t > require more than six months to lay the superstructure." Homicide. A difficulty occurred at Sumter, on Wednes? day night last, between Edgar Bishop and Charles Robinson, two colored men, which re? sulted the next day in the death of the lormer. The deceased was stabbed m four places-the mortal wound being in tbe left lnng near the heart. Robinson was committed to Jail to await his trial. The verdict ol the jury of inquest-C. M. Hurst, coroner-was as follows: "That the said Edgar Bishop oame to bis death from wounds inflicted by so.ne sharp instrument, supposed to be in the hands of one Charles Robinson." We learn that an altercation took plaoe at Grahurn's Cross Roads, in Darlington District, on Saturday, between a negro by the name of Graham, and a white man named Matthews; that thc latter shot t he former with a pistol, from the effects of which he died on Monday, It was not a political difficulty. The Affray at Antioch. The Edgefield Advertiser says : We an? nounce with pain and sadness tho death cf B. D. Branson. Esq., who was mortal? ly wounded in the affray At Antioch on the 25th Of September. Mr. Bronson, after a week of intense sufferine*, departed this life on Satur? day morning last, and was buried at Antioch on the following day. Messrs. J. M. and A. Holsen, and Mr. Wm.

SONS often allow their systems to "run down," or rather run them down by over-work, accom? panied by a neg:ect of tho proper means of In vigoratlcn. The result is what ls called "GENI? TAL DEBILITY;" In other words, a failure and partial collapse or the physical forces, accom? panied, usually, by great depression of spirits. The best remedy In such cases is HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. Whether the state of ex? haustion lias been brought on by excessive phy? sical labor, dissipation, anxiety of mind, expo? sure, or any other canse, the remedial effect or this great stomachic will be round equally prompt and certain. As a restorative, after severe sick? ness has prostrated the bodily and monta) ener? gies, it is pronounced, by competent medical au thorlty, "THE BEST TONIC IN CSB." ir men were not foolishly careless about their health, and over confident In themselves, they would always, when engaged ia any work that required graat exertlou, use corresponding means of sustain? ing their strength. For this purpose HOSTET? TER'S BITTERS are Invaluable. All toilers should use them as an Invlgoranr. For those constantly employed in in-door occu? pations, especially in crowded workshops, they may be reckoned as the very best safeguard of health. Where there Is a predisposition to con? stipation, or a tendency to biliousness, they may be truly said to be a specific for which there ls no substitute._oct8-0D4o ?gB* WE WANT A RESPONSIBLE party to take State Agency for the sale of WIL.
