A grand battlo at the ballot box is to bo fought-the most momentous cou flict in the history of tho country The Presidential campaigns of tho past have been child's play in com pnri8on to that of to-day; the politi? cal conflicts were skirmishes. No? vember next is to decide whethor tho country is to bo a republic of white men, or a nigger despotism. Send for Democratic documents. Estab lish your outposts. By the light of your watch-fires read Democratic ar guments and digest Democratic truths. Get ready for the ballot box. Let every man who has a vote pre? pare to deposit it. Organize, De mocrats/for the pnrposo of bringing out nil your physical strength; men are wanted now; numbers are the grand desiderate. Tho biggest count in every hamlet, village, town, city and State is what will give us victory. The time for long speeches is over If tho past eight years havo taught us nothing; if the reign of blood, terror, rascality, crime, treachery, aud crushing taxation, hus not set tied tho verdict that wo .should reu der at the ballot box, God help us, for we shall mon than ever need His help. If mongrelism conquers us in November, the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah would bc a blessing to ns. Petter death th?:u :i negro govern? ment, with all its entailed horrors. Democrats, the time for action is at hand! Form clubs, send for journals, consolidate, unite, present a solid phalanx to oppose the infamous foe, ut every voting place. Strike terror into his cowardly heart, lie will soe that we carry the blitzing shield ol* Truth. We do not know our power. Wo uudcr-rate our strength. Weare not aware of our invincibility. We are clothed in the armor ol' justice. We are guarded und guided hy the great Constitution. Wo have right and might on our side, and wo have ouly to strike, manfully in order to secure a lasting victory, which will redeem us from prospective shivery, aud confer priceless blessings upon posterity. Organize, Democrats! meet weekly; get tho documents; read, agitate, work; be vigilant; eternal watchfulness is tho price of liberty, for it is too precious lo be left one moment unguarded. Make up 3'our clubs, timi keep them alive, in five up to live hundred, from now to November, and then "go in" strong for tho Democratic cause. [ AY'fc York Jin// Rook. - - - . - Jiu: CoijUMitu CONVENTION.-We presume that not over half a dozen Districts will bu represented in thu Convention culled lo meet in Colum? bia on Monda) lust. At least, so far as we can j migo ?it this writing, (Tuesday menning,) delegates have not been appointed from moro than six Districts, lt', then, the April ^Convention, when- twenty Districts hud ii voice, did not represent the Stute, it will be grossly improper for u lesa number to send forth their views as embodying tho expressed will of the Democratic party ol' Sout h Carolina. Wo hopo that moderation and conciliation will prevail, aud that harmony tiud unity will result from their action, instead of discord and division. We cannot afford to divide our strength, and must not allow petty jealousies or sectional rancor to come between our party aud final success. If the Charleston movement prove unsuccessful, why not unite upon tho April platform, whioh will seem to havo tho acquies? cence of a majority? [Anderson Intelligencer, June. 9. Au ugly old bachelor suggests that births should bo published under the head of "new music." A So?rn CAROLINIAN IN NEIIRAS KA.-Wo clip tho following from tho Nebraska City News of a recent date. E. W. Thomas, tho gentleman re? ferred to, is a Chnrlostonian, who went, u few years ago, to seek his fortunes in tho far West. A friend aud kinsman, we hope he may, as a candidate of the Nebraska Democra? cy, do honor to his patty. Wo groot him iu the faith: "The Democrats in Ncmaha Coun? ty are begiuuing to organizo for the fall campaign. ?Some of thom favor the nomination of E. W. Thomas for Chief Justice of the State. Should tho Democracy elect a Chief Justice, the Constitutional right of Mr. But? ler to uppoint would be tested." Wo can assure the News that the Democracy have but little heart for organization. Wo admit, however, that they aro a plucky set of fellows, and would work like tigers on any? thing like an even thing. They arc clover enough to discern that, politi? cally, the city, County, Statu aud national White Honses, present and prospective, aro a long way beyond their reach, and this cools their ardor and makes organization irksome. E. W. Thomas is a gentleman, a scholar, and a very liberal-minded Democrat. His legal attainments and his moral honesty, und his social refinements, eminently lit him for the Bench or Bar; and, were wo com? pelled to take our Chief Justice from tho raul?s of tho Democratic fold, we know of none we would so soon take as him. Should he be a candidate, tho Democracy would insist upon weighting him too heavy to give him any chance in tho race. Gov. PERRY'S RECORD rs CONGRESS. Mr, Sumner interrupted the further discussion on tho point, producing further documents lo strengthen his assertion yesterday, that Benjamin P. Perry, of South Caroliua, was a rebel during the war. Ho read from a copy of the Charleston Mercury, containing an advertisement for sup? plies for tho rebel army, .signed by Perry as one bf the commissioners, and urgiug tho people to make sacri? fices from motives of patriotism. Mr. Sumner said he regarded tho act of Andrew Johnson in making Perry Provisional Governor of South Caro? lina, in defiance of un Act of Con greys when ho (Perry) had engaged iu rebellion, ns a proper subject ol' impeachment. He had thought at tho lime of tho occurrence that Hie Se?ale tdiould have requested the House ol' llcprcscntativcs to bring in articles. Mr. Doolittle asked whether Perry had not been originally opposed to secession. Mr. Sumner replied, that lie re? garded thal miller with supreme In? difference. Mr. Doolittle said both the moral and the civil law made a great differ? ence on the subject of a man's trea? son. Uti pointed out that Alexander ll. Stephens and others opposed treason until compelled to acquiesce. Tl:e editor of the New York Tribune for weeks, in the great newspaper which leads th<" public opinion of the North, advocated the righi ol' those States, it the majority of their people desired it. lo withdraw from the Union. Doubtless that gen I lo? man was sincere, jusl as were tho people ut tito South; but Mr. Too m hs carried, the Convention of Georgia for secession against Mr. Stephens and ?ii-, friends, will: the Tribuna (l?Urislied in his hand. [Congressional Proceedings, 5///. - - REMAINS nv THE LAT?: STEPHEN A. Doroij.vs - REMARKABLE PRESERVA? TION.-The remains ol* the late Slo phcti A. Douglas were removed from tho grave nt Chicago, on Wednesday, to their final resting place in the Mausoleum, under tho auspices of tho trustees of tho Douglas Monu? ment Association, accompanied by ti son of Mr. Douglas aud others. Upon removing the lid covering the glass, the I'aee of tho illustrious Se? nator was found to be in u remark? able shill; of preservation, ld most as natural as when buried seven years ago, excepting that tho eyes arc more sunken, the nose moro conti acted, and tho surface of tho forehead some? what indented or pitted; but thu complexion is very fair, the contour of tho hoad and faco apparently un? changed, and tho expression was quito natural and plainly recogniz? able. Tho hair looks as black and glossy as over, and the raiment as new and tidy ns when first put on, not presenting the least evidence of mildew or discoloration. An expedition is organizing to go in search of manager Boutwell. GENERAL STEEDMAN'S OFFER.-Tho Louisvillo Journal, which eujoys tho reputation of being cautious in its statements, avers that General Stced man offered tho impcacliment mana? gers a dinner if they would examino him, and that ho agreed to provo that Senator Pomeroy'? vote was offered him for $10,000. Tho roa ungers declined the proposal. If the story bo true, a committee to investi? gate tho managers' iuvestigatiou should be appointed at once; if not true, it should bo authoritatively denied-not by Butler, for ho is no authority in a question of veracity. [New York World. The French Emperor seems to find it hard to suit his home critics iu theso days. "Whou ho makes a po? litical speech, they scout him; when he avoids politics, they scorn him. His late speech at Orleans was skill? fully confined to general topics and such glorious historical reminiscences as Joan of Arc, the gallant maid wdio shed lustre upon tho name of the city. To this, the Journal des Deb?is says, most unappreciated y : "If we might ask Heaven to guido thc rulers of the world, we should pray, for our part, that it might direot them a lit tle more in conformity with the lino of modern ideas." How TO FRESHEN SALT FISH. ?Many persons who aro in thc habit td' freshening mackerel, or other salt tish, never dream that there isa right and a wrong way to do it. Any per? son who lum seeu the process of evaporating going ou at the salt works, knows that tho salt fulls to thc bottom. Just so it is in tho pan where your mackerel or white fish lies soaking; aud, us it lies with tho skin sido down, the salt will fall to tho skin and there remain, when, if placed with tho flesh side down, thu salt, falls to the bottom of the pan, and the fish comes out freshened as it should bo. In the other case, it is nearly as salt os when put in. PRONUNCIATION.-Webster tells us that it i.-> hopeless to attempt the penultimate accentuation of Greek and Latin words which our great poets have accented according to our own analogy. For instance, thc word Hyperion is used by Shukspeorw six times with the accent on the ante? penult. But Mr. Tennyson, the laureate and scholar, gives no coun? tenance to tin; irregularity in his re? cent poem. Lucretius, maddened hy the lovc-phillre, eries: "Look, where another ot our gods, thu Sun. Apollo, Odilia, or of older u-c, All-seeing Hyperion--what y.>u wi.! - H is mounted yonder. [ Providence Journal. The People* e Weekly says: Louis Napoleon claimed lo be ctr ecutlng Ifta trill of the people," when he declared himself, first, President for life, and then Emperor. So it was with the first Napoleon, with Crom? well and with Cicsar; and so it will be with Grant, when, having urged and led on the rump successes ?is will prepare tho views uf the public for ins contemplated change of our form of goverment from a Constitutional ttcpuhlic to a "Military Empire, he strikes the blow for which he is so adroitly preparing. GEN. McCrjp.MiAXs OPINION. - Iti appears that Gen. McClellan has in? dicated to a friend in Baltimore, that j he, tho Genend, is not Hi? mau for the Democracy in this Presidential I contest, hut that they sh mid nomi? nate some new mau and a recognized and acceptable statesman, which doubtless means that McClellan is for Chase. Good for "Little "Mac." New York I ["raid. The New York /><*?/ Hook says i (?rant muden stammering speech to a mob who called to congratulate him on his nomination, in winch he Hally promised, if elected, lo be dinnk the whole four years of his tenn. His language was that, his "record in the past should hu tin guide ol' the future." Good heave.is, what a trial! Some years ago, a Yankee fell into a river and was drowned. Some weeks afterward, his neighbors found his body, and it was full of eels. They took it home to his widow, eels and all, and told her how the case was. "Well," said she, "give me the eels, ?ind set him again." I Louisville Journal. "Mr. Jones," said Mrs. J., with un air of triumph, "don't you think marriage is a means of grace?"

Many ladies, particularly mothers nursing, complain of a tired, listless feeling, or completo exhaustion, on arising in the | morning. On tho wife and mothor de? volves tho responsibility of regulating tho I duties of tho household. Hor cares aro ! numerous, and tho montai as woll as physical powers aro frequently called into requisition. Sho often linds her slightest occupation a weary task and existenco a I burdon, while at tho samo timo sho has no regular diseaso. IIOSTETTEU'S STO-[ MACH BITTERS, ir resorted to at this period, will prove an unfailing remedy for this annoying lassitude. Tho eiTects of | this potent agent are soon soon in the rosy cheek and clastic stop of thc hoad of tho family, as with restored health and re? newed spirits sho taken her accustomed j place in thc family circle. If this friend in need bo regularly used, those depressing symptoms will never bo complained of, and not only would lassitude uot bc expe? rienced, but many diseases following its advent bo avoided. As a MEDICAL AGENT, it has no equal, whilo its ploasing flavor and healthful effect s have made it a general favorite. It is freo from all pro? perties calculated to impair tho system, and its operations aro at unco mild, sooth? ing and efficient. All who have usod tho Bitters attest its virtues and commend it to uso. Juno 9 +<> FOR. SALE. ..li Palmetto Iron Warka, Columbia, S.
