The greatest number of persous which has ever congregated in New York, assembled last Monday night, to participate in the Democratic d?? monstration. There were moro than fifty thousand persons in the proc?s- ] sion-on foot, in vehicles and on horseback; while there must have been moro than double that number of spectators in and about Fourteenth streot, where the varions stands were erected. The procession occupied moro than two hours in passing any given point, although those on foot were four abreast. Thousands of transparencies, flags, banners, etc., wero carried in the procession. Tam? many Hall, where the groat meeting was to be held, was Ailed at an early hour. A lotter was read from Gen. McClellan, decliniug to preside at the meeting, as he had determined to take no further part in tho politi? cal campaign, although professing an ardent attachment to the Democratic party. Gen.' Baldy Smith was chosen Chairman in his stead, and speeches were made by Messrs. Sanford E. Church, Honry C. Murphy, John T. Hoffman, Allen 0. Beach, Richard O'Gormon and others. Colored lights, were burnt in profusion; Roman can? dles and sky-rocket? were constantly flying; aud thousands of Chinese lanterns were suspended in mid-air. It was about 2 o'clock, before the en? tire affair was over. The Augusta .Chronicle and Sentinel soya: "We congratulate CoL Sneed in getting posHfssicn of hi? old paper, tlio Savannah Republican, and wel? come him again into the editorial brotherhood, the harness of which sets so gracefully upon him. Col. Sneed is an experienced, pointed and vigorous writer, and the Republican, under his management, will, we sin? cerely hopo, provo a great success." AFFLICTIONS IN GREENWOOD.-On Monday of last week, a little son of Mr. James Bailey, about eight years of ago, was playing about the fur? nace, in which there was a boiler, for the preparation of food for the cows. Approaching too near the edge of the boiler, his foot slipped and he plnugod into the seothing cauldron, up to hie waist. Ho lingered in great agony until the following day, when death brought him relief. [Abbeville Banner. -- ? ? STEEL RATLS.-The Sooth Carolina Railroad rcooived, by tho schooner N. W. Smith, a shipment of 400 bars of steel rails, which will be laid in the depot yards where the trafilo is incessant. This will be, as far as wo know, the first time that steel rails havo been used in the South. The durability of Bteel rails is so great that they aro really oheaper than iron rails, of which, in time, (hey must take the place.-Charleston News. TU At In(?moui Article on th? AVonttri of North Carolina. Our readers have hoard of un in? famous article from tho Nortel Caro? lina Standard, on tho womou bf that Stato. Tho author bids fair to rival Butler, the Beast, in notoriety. Wo repeat the monstrous extract from the article, urging upon the carpet? baggers and scalawags to work, in order to the success of the radicals. The Standard says to them: 4'But wherover else you work don't forget to work' among the women. Tho Confederacy wouldu't have last? ed a year, if it hadn't been for them. Ono good rebel woman is worth a dozen rnbel mon. Go after tho women then. They will make their husbands and their lovers shout for Grant and Colfax, until they are hoarse, if you will manage to re {dace some of the diamond rings and aces Frank Blair stolo from them when he was hero. And dou't hesi? tate to thrown your arms around their uecks now and then, when their husbands are not around, and give them a good-I They all iike it, and tho Yankeor you are tho better it takes. Our experience with female robs is, that with all their sins they haVO a vast amount of human nature, and only want to have it appreciated to be tho most loving creatures im? aginable. "^Scalawags and carpet baggttsi dou't fail, therefore, as you canvass the State, to look after the women. 1 You aro all gqod looking, and they know it; but with native modesty, like sweet New England girls, they like to bo approached first. Don't be afraid of their eyes they glare liko young leopards by day-light, but under tho moon no blue death-stricken fawn's is half so tender or half so deep. Don't read Judge Pearson's letter to them, but give them Byron and Shelly in volumes, and you will have them in ?rour arms, if not in your party, in ess than a week." INDIAN OUTRAGES IN ARIZONA.-A despatch to the Now York Herald, from San Francisco, says: Late Arizona advices say that owing to tho withdrawal of a portion of the military force, the time of the men having expired, the Iudians aro daily becoming moro bold and suc? cessful in their outrages. Witbiu a few months past, thirty persons have been killed, and $50,000 worth of property destroyed in Piano County alone. Governor McCormick had issed his proclamation calling out a company of militia to servo for six months, unless sooner discharged. One of the most destructive rain storms ever known in Arizona com? menced on the 7th of September and lasted for three days, completely flooding the country. Many of the villages of tho Piano and Maucopa Indians on the Gila River were en? tirely destroyed. Large crops were swept away and Hopper ? Co.'s steam flouring mills at Piano Village were destroyed. A number of cattlo belonging to Texas emigrants were drowned in tho flood. Governor McCormick aud a party en route from Prescott were caught in the storm and compelled to swim their auimuls to reach a pico of safety. GRATIFYING NEWS.-lu another co? lumn, we publish a card from A. Todd, Esq., certifying that the Union League at Pleasant Grove Church has disbanded, the books and papers destroyed, and expressing his belief that such organizations nre not cal oulatod to benefit the people for whom they were intended. A note from him also informs us that several colored persons, formerly belonging to the League, promised him to join the Democratic party, on his assur? ing them that they would never be placed again in slavery.

D> Simpson. The following letter bas been re? ceived by the Committee-Messrs. Evins, Boil and Anderson-from Hon. W. D. Simpson, accepting the nomi? nation for Congress from the Fourth Congressional District: LATTBUHB C. H., S. C., Sept. 23. Meters, Evins, Ball and Anderson. GENTiiE^rEN: I have just received your letter of the 15th inst., inform? ing mo of my nomination by n Con? vention of the Fourth Congressional District of this State, ns a candidate for Congress; and that you had been appointed a Committee to inform me of this fact, and to urge my accept? ance. I assure yon, gentlemen, that I feel deeply grateful to the members of tho Convention for this mark of their confidence, and I am also uuder obligotiou to you for tho flattering terms in which you have convoyed to mo the, action of that body. I would have preferred, however, I must frankly say, that tho choice of the Convention had fallen upon somo ono else, as the position to which it hos done me the honor to assign mc, is one which I neither expected or desired. I have no aspirations to bo a member of Congress, and under no circumstances would I have volunta? rily sought this positiou; but I bo? long to the Democratic party of the State, and especially of the Fourth Congressional District, and inasmuch as a Convention of that party has unanimously placed my name in no? mination, without solicitation upon my part, either directly or indirectly, I feel it my duty, under all the cir? cumstances, to abide its judgment. I therefore accept the nomination. In conclusion, let me avail myself of this communication, to say one word, through you, to the voters of tho Fourth Congressional District. I have no hesitation in saying, that I feel a far deeper interest in the ap? proaching Presidential contest, than in tho election for Congress. It can be of but little moment ut this time, whether our Congressional candidates are defeated or not; at all events, we could survive defeat there. Not so, howover, with the Presidential elec? tion. On tho contrary, I look upon tho approaching Presidential contest as more importaut than any event which has ever taken place upou this continent, in our day and generation. It is nothing more or less, iu my judgment, than a death-struggle be? tween constitutional liberty and armed despotism, in which not only tho South is vitally interested, but the safety of the entire Republic is involved. I do not doubt but that tho citi? zens of the Fourth District, and in fact, of tho whole State, fully under? stand this, nor do I doubt under which bauner they will bo found fighting. But what I desire to say is this: lu view of the momentous is? sues involved, the people should al? low nothing whatever to interfere with their interest in that election; on the contrary, nil other considera? tions should bo dwarfed iuto nothing? ness in it* presence, aud every effort should bo first directed to secure suc? cess there. Spring to your feet, therefore, De? mocrats of all uge.s, sexes and condi? tions! Rouse your Democratic clubs -keep thom fully organized and con? stantly working-they are the arks of our safety ; but above all, see to it, that a handsome majority is rolled up for Seymour and Blair on the 3d of November next, and all may yet be well. With sentiments of high regard, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. D. SIMPSON. United States of America-District of South Carolina-In the District Court. WHEREAS no District Court will be bold from this day, until 2t>tb day of October, instant, except for the purpose of adjourning over to that day; it is, therefore, ordered, that all Motions, Petitions, or matters of any kind whatever for the dual dit-ch argo of Bankrupts, or for any other purpose, which have boon ordered to bo heard beforo the said 26th day of October, ho, and the same aro herebv, postponed until that day.
