In Fairfield, the ball lins been fairly opened under the fairest aus? pices. A grand gathering of whites and blacks took place nt Ridgeway, on Saturday last. Tho crowd carno from Richland and Winnsboro," and Kershaw and from this District, gen? erally. Upon tho arrival of tho special train from "Winnsboro, the procession was formed, under tho direction of Dr. Edmunds. With mnsio and campaign banners, headed by the speakers for the occasion, the procession moved to the spot selected for the exercises of the day. The President of the meeting, Colonel H. C. Davis, announced the order in which the regular speakers would address the crowd. General Hamp tqn was introduced and received with the usual demonstration of regard and admiration. With his accus? tomed high tone and fino sonso and generous spirit, General Hampton spoke, addressing his remarks more especially to the colored people, and making an effective and eminently conservative speeoh. Colonel Thomas waa next intro? duced, as one of the Presidential Electors for the State at large. Col. Thomas arose, and, with his usual earnest and winning manner, made an eloquent, forcible and telling speech. The Convention has made a judicious selection in him as one of the Electors at large. Ridgeway teas . proud of her son. General Kennedy, of Kershaw, was next introduced, as the other Elector for the State at large, and made a most sensible, discreet and eloquent address, showing that the Convention bad made,.in his person, a wise selection. Next came Colonel MoMoster, a eon of Fairfield, who ably discussed the question of the day. Colonel Rion, of Winnsboro, next came forward. He confined his remarks to the colored people, and made to them a sensible and effective speech, in mode, style and manner suitable to the capacity of his hear? ers. Major Mcuinre, oi Chester, the Elector for this Congressional Dis? trict, was next presented. Major McClure made a pointed and telling speech-neith?r "parliamentary" nor "elocutionary," . but decidedly de? nunciatory of the class of favorite carpet-baggers, scalawags, et id omne genus. He will do good work in his beat. Captain DePass, of Camden, next delivered an eloquent address, in his nsnal easy and off-hand style, evinc? ing great earnestness in the cause of the Demooraoy, and predicting a glo? rious triumph in November next. At this point, Colonel Davis stated that the exercices of tho forenoon would close by the reading by Col. Thomas of the platform recently adopted by tho Democracy of South Carolina, in convention assembled, and further announced that the speaking would be resumed after dinner. Col. T. tbon read tho resolutions adopted as aforesaid. With enthu? siastic cheers for Seymour ann Blair, the vast assemblage went to dine. The barbecno was gotten up in fine style, and the same feast provided for white and colored. After all had satisfied the inner man, the roll of the drum called the orowd together on the bill-Bide. Colonel Davis then introduced Captain Davis, a son of Bishop Da? vis, who made a capital speech, urg? ing ceaseless activity and work in the canvass. Judge Leitner, also of Camden, came last, and fitly closed tbe white role -with an eloquent speech. Mr. R. G. Lamar now proposed tho fol? lowing resolutions, which, upon mo? tion, were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we cordially endorse and ratify tho nominations, made by thc recent State Democratic Conven? tion, of Electors for President and vice-President of tho United States, and hereby pledge our most stren? uous efforts to placo these Eleotors in a position to cast the votes of South Carolina for Seymour and Blair. Resolved, That tho thanks of this meeting be tendered to the gentle? men who have so ably addressed us to-day. At the invitation of tho Chairman, Colonel Davis, Colonel Thomas now proceeded to introduce the colored D?mocratie speokors of Columbia. Ho stated to the colored people present, that persons of their own mee would now address them, and pointing to t)io words inscribed on tlie campaign banner of the colored Democratic club of Columbia, ex? plained to them how, under the aus? pices of the Democratic party, the colored people would find all the prosperity, and peace, and harmony, that they desired-how, by com? bining tho brains of the white man willi tho labor of the colored man, there would be consummated results mutually advantageous, and how by uniting with the Southern people, they would save their race and secure a hopeful future. Pleasant Goode and William Stow ers thereupon each spoke, and mudo sensible, earnest and discreet re? marks. Colonel Rion next introduced tho colored Democratic speaker of the District, John Smart, who spoke with good effect. Thus closed tho exercises of the day. It was a most successful affair. Nearly 2,000 persons were present, and much enthusiasm prevailed. The sentiments of the speakers were agreeable to both classes of tho crowd. Upon tho colored people, the truth seemed to dawn. Well done for Ridgeway ! Much credit is due to the commit? tee of arrangements. We hail the rising star of the Fair? field Democracy! Let the fires kindled on Saturday burn on, until the whole State shall be ablazo with a generous flame that shall consume all the mushroom growth of radicalism, and leave standing the former columns of our pride and honor and renown. The decrco has gone forth, and Heaven blesses it-that South Carolina must and shall be redeemed from the alien rule that now curses her with its deadly, upas-like influences. [Winnsboro News. The adjournment of Congress must be a source of great relief to Presi? dent Johnson, whoso dignified and courageous conduct toward that usurping body, although for the time partially unavailing, cannot be too highly commended by every right thinking man and pntriot. When wo come to count up the results of the political battle, we find that although many obnoxious measures were passed over his head, yet he, too, had his triumphs. Ho successfully resisted what appeared at one time to be inevitable-his deposition from the Presidency. He melted Stan? ton's glutinous properties and suc? ceeded in "sticking" him on the shelf. He succeeded in arraying the recusant radical Senators on tho side of law and order. Ho succeed? ed in bringing old Thad. Stevens into contempt with his own party, and in utterly confounding Butler, whom they said "God raieed up for the express purpose of impeaching the President." Ho succeeded in consolidating the Democratic forces into au an army, destined in Novem? ber to sweep radicalism out of na? tional existence. Wo doubt whether the dogged determination of "Old Hickory" himself would havo stood with more unconquerable determina? tion, alone and singly at his guns, defending tho Constitution, than Andrew Johnson. And wo sincerely congratulate him upon the briof respite ho is now to enjoy from the unnatural contest betweou tho legis? lative and executive departments of the Government.-New Orlean THmes. Ono of tho chief peculiarities of the Missouri bottom, is said to be the great growth of sunflowers. For miles and miles they extend in un? broken and profuse luxuriance aud utter uselessness. They, it is said, went first brongbt here by the Mor? mons, when they were emiguating Westward from Nwuvoo, and have since spread until they have extend ed for 1,000 miles along the river. SPECIAL NOTICES. SCIENCE: ADVANCES.-AS SOON aa an article purporting to bo of utility baa been teated, and its merits endorsed by public opinion, unprincipled parties endeavor to .replenish their doploted purses by counterfeiting and substituting a spurious for tho gonuino article. Some time einco, mercury, in tho disguise of pills, powders, Ac, was given for all dis? eases of tho stomach and liver, whilo qui? nine was freely administered for the chills. At length, HOSTETTER'S STO? MACH BITTERS mado its a?voiit, and an entire new system of healing was inaugu? rated. Tho beneficial effects.of this valu? able preparation wore at onco acknow? ledged, and mineral poisons suffered to sink into that obscurity to which au en? lightened age has cousignod them. There have been many spurious Bitters palmed upon tho community, which, after trial, havo been found perfectly worthless, while HOSTETTER'S has proved a bless? ing to thousands, who owe to it their restoration to health and strength. For many years, wo have watched tho steady progress of HOSTETTER'S STO? MACH BITTERS in public estimation, and its beneficent effects as a cure for all com? plaints arising from tho stomach, of a morbid nature, and wo aro freo to say that it can be relied upon as a certain relief and remedy. Its propiictors have made tho above preparation, after years of I 1 careful study and sitting, and aro now reaping the reward claimed by this valua? ble specific, and which they so richly merit, lt is the only preparation of tho kind that is reliable in all cases, and it therefore demands the attention of tho alllicted.

ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC IS THC OREAT FIGHT AGAINST RADICAL USURPATION. TO THE PEOPLE OF TBE SOUTH. TI1E WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to the rehabihtation of tho South in its former prosperity-is offered to subscribers at the low rate of ? 1.50 for six months. Tho annals of tho American Republic show no political campaign comparable in thc magnitudo of its issues and the mo? mentousness of its results to that for the Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the very lifo of freo government is on trial, and it will bo a Bad commentary on the capacity of thc people, for tho exercise of that high trust if they, tho jurors who are lo try the issue, pronounco a verdict of self-condemnation. If tho South has any hope it is in the success of tho Democratic party in tho coming Presidential election; and every citizen is vitally interested in the progress of tho battle, and cannot afford to bo without a sound and reliable nowspapcr. As an organ, not only of sound Demo? cratic principles, but as a vehicle of ge? neral news, tho GLEANER is confidently commended to Southern support. A large eight-page paper, of forty-eight -columns, filled with the contributions of abie cor? respondents, thc daily wealth of tele? graphic communication and readable edi? torials. Especially will it bo valuable aa an organ to disabuao tho Northern mina of the falsehoods in relation to Southern thought and actions, with which it is the industrious vocation ot certain parties to poison tho springs of Northorn feeling oe Southern subjects. In tins view of ibo matter, no more valuable aid to thc true reconstruction of thc country and restora? tion of just sentiment at thc North toward the South can be rendered than by sub? scribing to the WEEKLY GLEANER and sending it to acquaintances and friends in the Northern States. We ask the aid of such of our political comrades as shall see this prospectus, in tho distribution of tho paper; especially during the progress of tho impending campaign. l^The WEEKLY GLEANER is published every Wednesday morning, and mailed to single subscribers at $3.00 per ai.um; Six Months, $1.50; Throo Months, 76c; Single Copies, 10c.
