COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS. Grand Democratic Gatlicring at Ma' rion andaSarater-Immens?; Crowds. Great Kntliaslasin-Tlic Democra? cy Fally Aroused. We lenrnHhat tho meeting at Ma? rlon Court Honso, on tho 7th inst., was a great snccess. Tho whole Dis? trict seemed to have gathered to? gether, and the spirit was earnest and resduit- and true. Tho large assemblage of both sexes and all classes were addressed by General Hampton, General Kennedy, Colonel Graham and H. Covington, Esq., and the oolored people were talked to by Goode and Stowers, of this place. Well done for Marion. In this Dis? trict, Gen. Harllee, Cob Mullins and others are working nobly in tho cause. We come noxt to the Sumter de? monstration, on tho 8th inst. Dar ing the canvass, wo havo not ns yet witnessed a grander and moro impos ing gathering. It was a mass meet? ing of Kershaw. Williamsburg, Dar lingtou, Clarendon and Sumter, but Sumter was chiefly represented. Tho bounty and the chivalry and tho freed? men of old Sumter were assembled on the occasion. Tho procession was formed nt the Court House, and marched, with Muller's oxcollent brass band at tho head, to tho Aca? demy Grove, wboro a flue stand for the speakers had been erected. The Rev. Dr. Furman made an earnest prayer. Gen. Hampton wau first in? troduced and addressed himself chief? ly to the freedmen. He suggested to them that their rights would bo se? cure with a triumphant Democracy that their true interests are to be Bub 8erved by identification with the Southern people. He advised them not to put their faith in tho vagrant carpet-bagger, but to attach them? selves to the sons of the soil-to the people of the South, who own the property and have the means of giv? ing employment and affording them material aid. Ho advised thom to go to work, to husband their gains and acqniro property. He spoke to these peoplo kindly and considerately, and his langungo ought to havo bad a fine effect npon them. Judge Aldrich was next introduced. The Judge ruado A stirring address, in which ho urged tho peoplo to ral'y and work for the success of tho Do niocratio party-spoke of what that party had done for tho country and how it came now to put the country once again upon i,ts former career of greatness and glory. Alluding to the charge that the South hated the flag of the country, he denied the asser? tion, and claimed that, inasmuch as the South had won glory under that flag, it was dear to her. As tho flag of a usurping Congress, the South had no regard for it, but when it be? came ibo nag of a restored Union and the symbol onco again of free? dom, the people of tho South would be ready to live or dio beneath its ample folds. Tho Judge closed with a graceful and truthful tribute to tho noble women of tho South, who were doing their duty in pence as they had so nobly dono it iu tho lato war. Such mothers, ho thought, could not be tho mothers of a recreant race. Col. J. P. Thomas was next intro? duced. After some general remarks and some allusion to thc prospects of tho Democracy iu tho Stato and tho Uuion, Col. Thomas stated, that he proposed to 6how, by an appeal to logic and facts, that all tho charges against tho Democratic party, could be made good against tho radical party. Ho would arraign the radical party before tho tribunal o' the peo? ple. Ho then proceeded to establish the following propositions: 1st. That tho radical party was anti-Republican. 2d. That it was revolutionary and un? constitutional. 3d. That it was the only ])ro-slavery party in the country. 4th. That it was a disunion party. 5th. That it was opposed to peace. 6th. That it was a party of heavy tax? ation, and 7th. That it was a party of coii'uption. Col. T. then appealed to the crowd to stand firmly by tho prin? cipios of tho canvass. Let no mau think of abandoning his Stato. Tho sous of Carolina must gather around tho old commonwealth tho moro closely, if the clouds grow dark and tempestuous. Sooner or later, wc must succeed. Ho believed that in November next a glorious success was to reward our efforts. But, if in the providence of God, Carolina was to walk yet longer in tho valley ol political humiliation, let us remain true, said Col. T., to our principles let us possess our souls in patience, nud tho poltiical crown will soou bc ours, to wear upon our chastened brows. After Cul. T. had concluded, din uer was announced, and plnee3 al the long tables assigucd to nil. Tin supply was ample for tho large crowd After dinner, the crowd again assem bled, and addresses of an interesting character were delivered by Col. Gm ham and John P. Richardson, Esq Lastly, Goode und Stowers spoke tc the colored people. After tea, tho crowd ussembled ii the Court House, and addresses wen made, in excellent style, by Gen. J D. Konuedy and Harris Covington Esq. This closed a gala day in Sum ter. The crowd was estimated at be tween 3,000 and 1,000, and the great est enthusiasm prevailed. Long afte mid-night, Muller's brass bund movei through the town, discoursing fin music and complimenting tho loee and visiting Democratic speakers Well done for Sumter. The spirit c the revolutionary "game cock" sti! lives and tho bird crows boldly au defiuntly and shows un uudauute erest. Among the distinguished gcntU u?en who participated in these exei cises, were Hon. J. L. Manning, c Clarendon, Mr. Spain, of Darlingtot and Messrs. J. S. Richardson au Fraser, of Sumter. -<-??-?

A Noble better from Gon.Bowncram. lu reply to an invitation to address the late masa meeting at Indianapolis, Gen. Rosencranz wrote the following manly .letter: ST. MARTINS, Brown County, O., September 21. 1868. General Jolin Love, Indinapolis, In? diana. G T-'.NF.KATJ : Indispensable duties pro vent me from attending the gathering of officers and soldiers at Indianapo? lis, to which your lotter invited mo on the 23d instant. But beyond the great gratification I should experience in meeting so many of my old companions-in-arms, and mingling our memories of tho past with resolutions of future efforts and sacrifices for the honor of the land and fing wo love, my prescuco there would accomplish more than a simple statement of my views on tho chief issues which now agitate the country. I believe our free institutions and highest material interests aro in grave peril. I shal?, therefore, perform a solemn and responsible duty to my feiiow-soldiers and countrymcu, who lovo this nation moro thau a party, by stating what I think tho most vital issues beforo tho public in tho approaching Presidential election. Abovo all other expenses-expen? ditures, taxation, bonds, "green? backs," or anything else-stands that of restoriug tho people of the South? ern States to hopoful, cheerful self government. Restore them this, aud as certainly ns day follows tho sun, our political stability will u? assured; our financial prosperity will speedily follow; the value of property in tho South will increase; our public securities will go to a premium; our greenbacks will become par; coiu and currency ac? counts, with all their evils and com? plications, will disappear from the books of our business men. Believing with all my soul that tho preservation of our Government from despotic changes, aud all those inesti? mable] blessings, depend upon this restoration of tho Southern peoplo to wholesome, cheerful self-government, I am equally certain that it can bo done, and dare pledge my honor and lifo for them, that they will give and observe all proper guarantees to re? nounce secession, slavery and their dependent issues; to protect, educate and elevate Ibo freedmen to tho exer? cise of all tho duties incumbent on them as good citizens under the Constitution and laws of the United States. Aud what more, could bo asked of them, or what greater results could patriotism desiro for thc country, than depend upon this issue? Not even the prosecution of tho war challenged a more thorough re? nunciation of party preferences and personal dislikes on the altar of our country, than docs the attainment of this great good. Tho desolate and ruined South, thc oppressed tax payors of the West and North, generosity, mercy, love of country, apprehensions of evils to come, every motivo that ought to move the hearts of truo and noble men, appeal to us to say by our votes wo will stop that hopeless folly of attempting to govern the Southern States by what we call "loyal blacks," and give tho people, under just guarantees, the right peacefully and legally to proceed to recognize their own government within tho Union. With such convictions, I hold tho man who would not express and act upon them, a traitor to himself and his country, and dospiso tho partizan who would fiud fault with any rea? sonable steps ho might tako to bring about so great a good to tho nation. Recommending my convictions, and the reason for them, to the judg? ment of my fellow-soldiers and coun? trymen, I remain, very truly, yours, W. S. ROSENCRANZ. JI'DOE INGLIS.-Wo know that all of our readers will uuito with us in regretting the departure from among us of ono of those whom we used to delight to honor. We need such men, now, to help us through the storm which ? upon us, but wo sup? pose they are tho best judges of their duty, whether to flee from tho wreck, or to remain as long as a plank can bo found to float upon. Tho Judge gives the following reasons for his re? moval: "I need hardly say that nothing short of an inexorable necessity could havo induced me to leavo South Carolina. But I found myself ut fifty-five with every source of income dried up, and no means of maintain? ing my household oxcept by a return to my profession. I could not seo how, in Carolina, I could hope within tho remnant of years, which, in tho course of nature, is loft to me, to build up again a remunerativo prac? tico in our impoverished and distract? ed State. Hore, whore I had beon born, and still had many friends, I somewhat hopod I might." [tiorry Sentinel.

Tickets can bo procured at tho store of Mr. George Symniers, or from any? one of the Committeo of Arrange? ments. We have been requested to state that the Rev. W. A.

We have been requested to state that tho "Smart Children" will give an entertainment in this city, on Tuesday evening next. The price of admission will be fifty cents-no half price. The inclement weather last night had a damaging effect on Manager Templeton's pockets, but did not cool the ardor of tho actors and actresses. Dirndl was ns urgent in his protesta? tions, D'Arville as determined, and Camille as terribly in earnest in her difficult part, ns though a crowded house welcomed and applauded their efforts to please. Should tho weather prove favorable, this evening, there will, doubtless, be a full house to wit? ness the rendition of "Ingomar" and "Toodles." A RADICAL TRICK.-A radical, mimed Coon, (suspicious name, that,) of Troy, N. Y., sends us a printed circular, accompanied by a slip of gummed paper, as a specimen of his manufacture, and which he says "will stick to greased ballots." He con? tinues: "The importance of a reliable gummed paper in the present cam? paign has induced mo to offer it for sale, having found from long expe? rience as a member of the craft, that a large portion of pasters do not remaiu in their places on the tickets long enough to got them in the bal? lot-box." That is to say, that tho radicals up that way resort to "gummed paper" and "greased ballots" to perpetrate election frauds; and are not ashamed to advertise their rascality, provided they can sell their "pasters" at $2 per quire. Perhaps such appliances had something to do with tho radical majorities in Maine aud Vermont. IMPORTANT TO TRAVELERS.-We are pleased to learn, on authority, that tho trains on tho Noith Carolina Railroad resumo their regular Sun? day trips, beginning on Sunday next.
