Pursuant to public notice, a meet? ing of the Democratic citizens of Yorkvillo was held in the Court HOUBO, on Thursday evening, the 16th inst. The meeting was organized by calling Colonel E. G. McCaw to tho Chair, and requesting J. H. Fays soux to act os Secretary. The object of the meeting was explained by the Chair to be the ratification and en? dorsement of the nominations re? cently made at New York, of candi? dates for President and vice-Presi? dent, by the National Democratic Convention. Also, to organize a Democratic Club. On motion of Captain J. F. Hart, it was Resolved, That wo do heartily con our in the nominations for President and vice-President, made by the late National Democratic Convention in New York, and that we do pledge ourselves to support the same, and to do our utmost for the success of the ticket, and that we do now organize a Democratic Club. The following officers were selected for fhe club: President, Col ou el B. G. McCaw; vice-Presidents, Colonel W. A. Stowe, Captain L D. Wither? spoon; Recording Secretary, J. H. Fayssoux; Corresponding Secretary, B. P. Boyd; Treasurer, A. F. Mc? Connell. Ou motion, the Corresponding Secretary was instruoted to confer with Governor Vance, General Hampton and Colonel J. P. Thomas, aud invite them to address, at their convenience, a meeting of the citi? zens of this County, on the princi? ples and issues of the approaching eleotion. Also, that the Corresponding Sec? retary be further instructed to notify the several conservative clubs of this County of our change of organiza? tion, and request them to make cor? responding changes in their organi? zations, if advisable. At the suggestion of the Chair, all who wished to become members of . the Club were requested to hand in their names to the Secretary. Thir? ty-three whites and three colored 1 enrolled their names. [Vorkville Enquirer. A correspondent of the "Winnsboro Ne ic s says the Horeb Democratic Club had cet apart S<?tutduy last, the 18th instant, for the purpose of hold? ing a publio political meeting, in which both parties were cordially invited to participate in publio de? bate. The leaguers and radicals of tho deepest dye were requested to bring their most efficient speakers, <?# for the purpose of discussing (dis? passionately) all matters relating to the political contest. A committee was appointed by the Club ?. J pro? cure speakers for the occasion, and we regret to say that, although hav? ing the highest assurance from seve? ral distinguished gentlemen that they would be in attendance, they failed to come. This was a sad disappoint? ment, and much to be regretted, as the radical party had turned out in considerable numbers. There were several excellent brief addresses made them by different members of tho Club, yet I fear it had not as de? sirable anl'sffeot as if they had been discoursed to by gentlemen better posted and more accustomed to pub? lic speaking, and also "from afar." The opposite party hod also failed to get spokesmen, and we propose to try it over on Saturday, the 15th of August, when we trust to meet with better success. Perhaps it would not be amiss, before closing this, to men- . tion a little incident that occurred at the meeting; whioh will Borve to I illustrate the kind and generous feel? ing the Democrats have for their colored brethren. It was brought to the notice of the Club by a member present, that we had enrolled on our books a very aged and iru?rm colored man, who had voted the Democratic ticket, and had, all his life, borne a good oharaoter for honesty and fideli? ty; and, as freedom had robbed him of his hitherto kind protector, he had no one left able to [provide or take care of him, and he was in a most destitute if not suffering condi? tion. Aid was solicited in his behalf, which resulted in the collection of somesevon or eight liars in money, besides donations ot oom, flour, ?fcc, ever mindful of that resolution, "That we regard it as our duty, at all times, and under all circumstances, to afford aid and protection to those of our colored population who, dis? regarding the deceptive persuasions of Northern and Southern renegades, cast their lots with us, tho rightful inheritors of this our own country." Enclosed, we send you a letter re? ceived by the Committee of Invita? tion from Col. J. P. Thomas, which please lay before your readers. JOEL A. SMITH, President Horeb Club. J. W. EOBEBTSON, Secretary. COLUMBIA, S. C., July 18, 1868. Mr. Jacob Bookman, of the Committee. DEAS SIR: I regret to find myself unable to be with you at the meeting to-day. Give me leave, however, to Bny, that I earnestly hope that my fellow-oitizeus will endorso and ratify the nominees, and accept the declara? tion of principles lately put forth. Our Democratic friends at the North have taken high ground in our behalf, end wo ought fully and freely to work for them and for ourselves. Radicalism seeks at the North to destroy tho freo institutions of the land; and, at the South, in addition thereto, to build the fortunes of the negro upon the ruin of the whites, and impiously seeks to establish the supremacy of the inferior race. To this, tho white men of the South will not tamely submit. They will resist this by every peaceful means at their command. The means, nt present, is party organization and union with the Southern and Northern Demo? cracy. Let us make this instru? mentality as effective as possible. Let every District do its part; let every Democrat in each District do his part, and even South Carolina may be enabled to cast her votes for the Democratic candidates. Nor should tho colored voters fail to give the suffrage, which has bee:! given to them by Congress, to the Democratic candidates. By accept? ing the role assigned to him by that party, tho ultimate interest of the black man will bo subserved. Let him demand too much, and ho mny lose all. We aro disposed to con? cede to him all that reason and fair dealing may demand, but let him un? derstand that the political control of this country belongs to tho white race. Permit me to express the hope that yoor people will enroll themselves, form Demooratio clubs, and enter vigorously into the campaign. Do not neglect the crops, btu do not for? get the country. Our welfare, political and industrial, is involved in the pending election ; and let every true Bon of South Carolina seek to re? deem the old commonwealth from the hands into which it has tempora? rily fallen. Let "ON TO THE BESCU-E" for home and family, be cur watch-word, and may no Caroli? nian falter or fail us. Yours respectfully, JOHN P. THOMAS. INFANTICIDE.-On Thursday last, the dead body of an infant was found in an old well, on the lot ad? joining the premises occupied by William Deas, on Broad street. Upon being informed of the fact. J. K. Witherspoon empannelled a jury of inquest, who, after due investigation, rendered a verdict "that the daugh? ter of Wm. Deas was the mother of the child found in tho old well, and that Wm. Deas* wifo (Louisa) was an accessory to the transaction." Louisa and her daughter were arrested upon tho warrant issued by the neting Coroner, and lodged in jail. All the parties are colored. [Camden Journal. GIN HOUSE BURNT.-We regret to learn that the gin house of Mrs. E. F. Haile, near Flat Bock, was set on fire, by a stroke of lightning, and ontiroly consumed on Monday night last. A considerable quantity of groin was stored to be threshed, all of whioh was destroyed. S. F. Cly? burn and James T. Truesdel were tho principal sufferers, the former losing nearly all his wheat and tho latter his oat and rye crops. [Camden Journal, The dogs drowned at the New York Pound are made useful. Their skins re-appear as gloves. SPECIAL NOTICES. NATURE IS THE ORB AT PHYSI? CIAN.-This ia now admitted, by tho me? dical profession, aa a fondamental princi? pio of healing science. It is wisely provided by the human economy that whenever anything is wrong in tho physi? cal system, the natural forces or tho body are brought to boar to expel the disease. Tho great aim, therefore, ia to strengthen the natural powcra. This has boen kept in view by the skillful componnders of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, which operates to givo fresh vitality to all tho organa of tho body. The effect of thia medicine upon tho stomach, the Rver and tho kidneys, is prompt and decisive. Tho patient, who is wise enough to quit drug? ging and try tho Bitters, soon .fools as if he had taken a new lease of lifo, and as he continues tho ueo of the articlo he is over? joyed to find the streams of health cours? ing through his frame. It is prepared with great caro, and ita component parta aro entirely vegetable. It i8 free from the objectiona ao often urged against prepara? tion of the kind. As a medical agont it has no equal, while its pleasing flavor and hoalthful effects have mado it a general favorite. It is free from all proporties calculated to impair tho system, and its operations are at once mild, soothing and efficient. All who have used Hostottor'a Stomach Bitters attest its virtues and commend it to uso. Even thoeo who aro in the enjoyment of ?ierfect health frequently havo need to lave -ccourse to t?nica aa preventives of disease. Wo aro never too well armed against the assaults of "the ills that flesh is heir to." In health or sickness this tonio cannot be taken regularly without giving vitality and elasticity to tho sys tom._July 17 Ct ??MANHOOD."-Another New Medical Pamphlet from the pen of Dr. Curtis. Tho Medical Times says of this work: "This valuable treatise on tho causo and euro of premature declino shows how health ia impaired through secret abuses of yonth and manhood, and how easily regained. It gives a clear synopsis of tho impediments to marriage, the cause and effects of ner? vous debility, and tho remedies therefor."

TO TBE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH. THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to tho"rehabilitation of tho South in ita!former prosperity-is offered to subscribers at tho low rato of $1.50 for six months. The annals of the American Republic show no political campaign comparable in tho magnitude of its issues and the mo lusciousness of its resalta to that for the Presidency, now pending. Indeed, tho very lifo of freo government is on trial, and it will bo a sad commentary on tho capacity of tho peoplo for tho exercise of that high trust if they, tho jurora who aro to try tho iaauo, pronounce a verdict of eelf-condemnation. If the South ha8 any hopo it ie in thoauccessof tho Democratic party in the coming Precidcntial election; and every citizen ia vitally interested in tho progress of tho battle, and cannot afford to be without a sound and reliable newspaper. As an organ, not only of Bound Demo? cratic principles, but as a vehicle of ge? neral nows, tho GLEANER ia confidently commended to Southern support. A largo eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns, filled with tho contributions of able cor? respondents, tho daily wealth of tele? graphic communication and readable edi? torials. Especially 'rill it be valuable as an organ to disabuse tho Northorn mind of the falsehoods in relation to Southern thought and actions, with which it is the industrious vocation of certain partios to poison tho springB of Northorn feeling on Southern subjects. In thia view of the matter, no moro valuable aid to tho true reconstruction of thc country and reatora tion of just sentiment at tho North toward tho South can bo rendered than by sub? scribing to tho WEEKLY GLEANER and scuding it to acquaintances and friends in tho Northern Statea. Wc ask tho aid of such of our political comrades aa shall see this prospectos, in tho distribution of the paper; especially during tho progress of the impending campaign. fcThe WEEKLY GLEANER is published every Wednesday morning, and mailed to single subscribers at $3.00 per union ; Six Months, $1.50; Three Months, 75c; Single Copies, I0o. Sample copies will be sent on recoipt of address.
