Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana will hold elections next Toes day, and West Virginia Ootober 22. Pennsylvania, at the last Presidential ?lection, gave 20,075 Republican ma? jority. At the last State election, (1867,) she gave 922 majority for the Democrats. The offices to be filled this year, are those of Auditor and Surveyor-Generals and Congressmen. Ohio gave a Republican majority at the Presidential election in 1864, of 54,751, and at the gubernatorial elec? tion last year, of 2,983; a full Con? gressional ticket, and all the State officers but the Governor, are to be chosen this year. Indiana gave a Republican majority of 20,189 for President ia 1861, and of 14,202 at the State eleotiou iu 1866. A full State and Congressional ticket is to be ohosen this year. "West Virginia gave a majority of 12,714 for the Re? publicans at the last Presidential election, and.6,644 at the gubernato? rial election in 1866. A full State and Congressional ticket is to be ohosen on the 22d instant. Nebraska was not a State until 1866, when a general election resalted in a Repub? lican majority of 145, out of an ag? gregate vote of 8,641. She also chooses a State and Congressional tioket this month. A letter from a leading Democratio journalist in Ohio, received in Wash ington, represents the campaign in that State exceedingly vigorous on behalf of tho Demooraoy. He pre? dicts the election of at least ten De? mocratic members of Congress, and Bays the indications are that the Do mooratio State tioket will receive t handsome majority. Pendleton, Ew? ing, Stanbery, and other prominent gentlemen aro addressing the poople daily, and numbers of influential Republicans are reported to have do dared for Seymour and Blair. The result in the Keystone State must necessarily exercise considera ble influence on the Presidential cnn vass. It will indicate in what direc? tion tho current of popular fooling is turning, and in the same proportion that it strengthens one of the two groat political partios, into which the oountry is divided, it will dishearten and weaken the other. A Democratic victory in the coming State elections of Pennsylvania will be tho first bugle note of triumph for the conservatives in November. It will be A significant augury of the near approach of a thorough and radical reform in all the departments of Government; of the restoration of the Southern States of the Union; of the revival of trade and oommerce, on land and on Bea, and the re-establishment of peace, good order and fraternal feel? ing among all classes of oar people. -??? ? > LABOE INCREASE IN CUSTOMS RE? CEIPTS.-The receipts from customs during the past week were larger than the receipts for ?ny other week in the past year, (says the New York Herald. ) The customs revenue in New York oity alone ia greater than threa times the aggregate receipts at the other ports mentioned. New York, from September 21 to 80, $4,684,462; Bos? ton, $626,018; Philadelphia, $306, 415; Baltimore, $188,860; San Fran? cisco, from August 24 to 80, $211,191. Total receipts, $6,005,482. Tb? Ksdlca? leader? SWr th* Troth. Although the colored poople were especially invited to the barbecue and speaking on yesterday, there , vere comparatively Aw present. Persist? ent efforts had been made to keep these people away, and these efforts seem to have partly succeeded. No greater evidence of the false basis apon which radicalism rests oould be given than this fact-that the leaders of the colored people are afraid to let tho rank and file hear the other side. The colored poople wear the yoke of soul slavery. They have escaped the bondage of the body, but have been placed under tho bondage of the mind. They are the slaves of the radical leaders. They daro not think and feel and act for themselves. That is, we refer to the great body of them. It ?B time for thom to under? stand that "they only are free whom tho truth paites free." Aro they willing to bo led liko sheep to de? struction? If they would look to their ultimate interests, let them dis? card the ways of radio dism. COLUMBIA, October 10, 1868. Mr, J.

Turner, David Fowler, Benson Turner, Benjamin Blackwell, John Blackwell, Zach. Blackwell and Spencer Chambers, publish a card in tho Picken? Courier, stating that they have withdraws from the Union League. The Eeowee Courier, speaking of the matter, nays: "In another column appears the card of eight or ten citizens living in tho neighborhood of Toxaway, in this District, denouncing the Union League and all connection therewith. These men were once members of this institution, and na they have been heretofore good substantial citizens, their withdrawal from the body will be seriously felt by those who remain. Wo heartily welcome them, and any others who may como out thus honestly jmd openly in the cause of constitutional freedom." The Courier adds that eleven color? ed men in Toxaway, have left tho League. <-?-?-? THE PUBLIC DEBT.-The Baltimore Gazette's correspondent writes from Washington as follows: Tho public debt statement for tho month of September, which has been given to the ?>ress, shows that the debt of tho nation has not boen in? creased since the August statement was made up, but, at the same time, it shows that it has been diminished only a few hundred thousaud dol? lars-and this, too, in tho face of the unusually large receipts into the treasury, and no interest falling due. During tho months of October and November, tho receipts will be very light, and 830,000,000 in coiu will be paid on the first of November, as in? terest on the public debt. This will largely increase the debt, and will bear out the figures presented by Di? rector Delmar and the Hon. Robert J. Walker. It is charged here that the figures in tho debt statement to? day have been manipulated, with a view to contradicting former state? ments by outside parties. The following are tho entire dis? bursements of the Government for the month of September: On account of War Department, 88,959,311.02; Navy, $2,270,762.62;Interior, 5,410, 005.27; customs, 81,325,846.90; Trea 8urv proper, 81,155,974.15; public debt, 826,154,875.63; Treasurer, In? terior, 8322,156.39; internal revenue, 8651,598.97; war, civil branch, 8127, 202.86; diplomatic, 856,707.71; quar? terly salaries, 875,135; total, 846, 441,193.87. It is expected that tho receipts have been somewhere in the neighborhood of forty-seven mil? lions. The cash balances on hand in tho vaults of the Treasury are 813, 300,000 in currency and 897,000,000 in coin, including $20,000,000 in coin certificates. -w ? ?* -? > Major-General Howard delivered a lecture in Washington, on Tuesday night, giving his observations during a late tour through tho South. His remarks were apparently unpreju? diced, and not calculated to give much comfort to the radicals. He stated candidly that the disturbances were not confined to one party, but there was a strong Democratic senti? ment among tbe negroes, and he fouud many Seymour and Blair clubs of colored men. These remarks wero incidental, his main topic being the social, religious and educational con? dition of the negro. We aro requested by the Santuc Democratic Club, to give notice that a grand Democratic barbecue and picnic will be given at Sautuo Depot, Spartanburg and Union Railroad, on Tuesday, October 20, 1868. Wo have assurances that several of the Presi? dential electors and State canvassers, and other distinguished speakers will bo present and address the pooplo on that occasion. It is hoped that the attendance from this and other Dis? tricts will bo large, as every arrange? ment has been mado for a grand mass meeting. - Unionville Times. THE DLECTION IN DELAWARE.-On Tuesday last, tho election for inspec? tors took placo in Delaware. The Republican majority iu Wilmington is only nine votes, which is a Demo? cratic gain of 305 sinco tho mayor's election last month. New Castle Couuty gives a Democratic majority of 612-a gain of 401 over the vote of 1866. In Wilmington, the Demo? crats elect a majority of the inspec? tors, and in the County have twelvo out of seventeen. The Gazelle says the vote polled was unusually largo. INCENDIARISM.-We have to record the loss, by fire, of the gin house of Capt. E. Pasley, in this District, some ten days since. A considerable quantity of wheat and some cotton destroyed. It is regarded as the WGik o? an incendiary, beyond ques? tion.-LaurensviUe Herald. Glorious news reaches ns from Connecticut. Despite the strenuous exertions of the radicals, and lavish expenditure of money, they have met a signal defeat. Large Democra? tic gains have been made even over the vote of last year. Briok Pomeroy's o?e-Iegged sol? dier still grinds "Dixie" for three hours each day in front of hts office, despite tribes and police, aud will continue to do so until further no? tice. d t? ?Vf H ti 1 1 Vv i ?ooal Items. Tho complimentary supper to Hon. John Q. Adams, which was to have come off last night, bas hsen post? poned until to-morrow evening, at the same hoar. A pleasant ti?e is conn- i dently anticipated.

REDUCTION OF FREIGUT RATES. Wo have tho gratifying intelligence to communient? to our up-country friends, that the rates of freigbt over ] the Greenville and Columbia Railroad have been materially reduced-fully twenty per cent. DEMOCRATIC MEETING FOR MONDAY NIGHT-SPEECHES FROM HON. J. Q.

Seats will be provided for tho ladies. The public generally aro invited to j attend. Let there be a large meeting. THE PLANET VENUS VISIBLE IN THE I DAY-TIME.-The planet Venus be? came visible to tho naked eye during the month of June, and was visible the first part of July, or before its conjunction with the sun. A little while after its conjunction with the sun, it became again visible to the naked eye on the West of tho sun. It was visible to tho naked eye during | tho months of August and Septem? ber, and is now visible to the naked eye. The only trouble in finding it, is to know protty near where to look, and when once fouud, it will surprise the searcher that he did not see it ] bofore. We have been reqaested to state that the "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 NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.-The Postmaster-General has just awarded the contract for tho supply of stamps to the Department for tho ensuing four years to the National Bank Note Company of New York. The now stamps will be somewhat smaller than those in use at present, but they are of a superior style and finish, with a novelty in design. Tho two-cent stamp contains an engraving of a post boy on horseback in full speed. Tho threo cent has a locomotive under full head of steam, the great carrier of our domestic service. Thc five-cent stomp contains ahead of Washington Tho ten-cent, tho finest of all in do sign and execution, has a miniature engraving of the Declaration of Inde pendence, executed with such delica cy and precision that the picture suf? fers nothing under a magnifying glass. The twelve-cent stamp has an ocean steamship, and the thirty-cent has a finely exeouted engraving of the surrender of Burgoyne. RELIGIOUS SERVICES THIS DAV. Trinity Church-Rev. P. J.

IMPORTANT TO TBAVELKRS.-Wo are pleased to learn, on authority, that the traine on the North Carolina Railroad resume their regalar Sun day trips, beginning on Sunday next. This makes the connection perfect via the Charlotte and Sooth Carolina Railroad, to al! Northern cities, as heretofore. t3 IMMENSE DEMONSTRATION -THE DEMOCRATS OP BICHTJAND SHOW THKTB STRENGTH--BARBECUE ANO MASS MEETING-SPEECHES FROM HAMPTON, PHRRY AND OTHEBS.-Tho repealed disappointments of the past fow d?ye seemed to have encouraged, rather than diminished the ardor of thc citi? zens of Colnmbia, and of the District ia general, which resulted in an al? most univarsnl out-pouring, jester day morning, and by 12 o'clock, Sidney Park was thronged with per? sons of every age, sex and color. Tho scene was enlivened by tho imposing strains of an excellent brass band from Mecklenburg County, N. C. Main street presented a gala appear? ance. An immense banner iras sus? pended opposite Carolina Hall; while monster United States flags waved over the stores of Messrs. Hope and Palmer, and the restaurant of Mr. Pollock. Some disappointment was felt nt tho non-appearance of tho Hou. Mr. Adams; but tho assembled multitude was amply compensated by the words of wisdom enunciated by tho eminent gentlemen who wore present. Hon. W. F. DeSaussuro presided, and after a few remarks, introduced tho Hon. B. F. Perry; of Greenville. Tho ex-Governor was very happy in his remarks, and was frequently applauded. He denounc? ed carpet-baggers and scalawags in unmeasured terms-asserting thnt thc latter were actually worse, in his opi? nion, than Judas Iscariot; but that ii they wonld follow his example-hang themselves-ho might feel disposed to forgive them. Hon. Wm. Johnston was next in? troduced. He dealt principally or tho subject of taxation, and truth? fully remarked that the colored mar was interested in the matter, as ht indirectly paid his quota. Gen. Hampton was then called for. and iu his usual agreeable and off hand style, addressed himself to "tht boys in blue and the boys in gray.' Ho also exposed the inconsistency o: the members of tho radical party referring particularly to Capt. H?ge now acting as au Associate Justice who asserted in Sumter, just befor* the closo of the war, that he had n< use for tho negro, and wished h? had a number of them in a ten-acn field, so that his regiment-tho 6th could go through them in a hurry since which time, the scales have fal len from his eyes, and he has mad( the grand discovery that the negri can be made available in the way o voting, of which he has not failed t take tho earliest occasion to elevat himself to an office. (Jen. Hamp ton's remarks were warmly received and by none more so than by th United States soldiers, a largo nun: ber of whom were present. At th close of his address, the "boys i bluo" pressed round tho ex-Confedt rato General, aud seemed earnest i their protestations of respect an veneration. Ho promised to addroi them again on Monday night. Col. J. P. Thomas, in response t repeated calls, made a few remark congratulating the assemblage on tl cheering prospects of tho Democri tic party; and closed by urging tl people to stand by tho cause in vi< tory or dofeat. Col. T. was alf warmly applauded by tho soldiers. J. G. Gibbes, Esq., here anuoun ed that dinner was ready, and e: tended a general invitation to tl vast assemblage to surround the t bles, and look ont for No. 1. Ac his invitation was promptly accepte A rush was made, and in a few m untes tho deceased pigs and shet were rapidly filling ino hungry rnn\ of tho barbecneites. Ono of the p culiaritics of this stylo of cookin is that it makes an individual fe "morcish"-in other words, tho mo ho eats, tho moro ho wants; as a co sequence, those who-eithor thron; diffidence or fear of having thc corns trampled upon-waited for tl first rush to be over, fell short-nc withstanding the bountiful supp which had been provided. Somo these unfortunates wore disposed growl a little, bat finally quietly d parted dinnerless. Tho event was perfect God-sond to the freedmen numbers of whom wore provid< with bags, and succeeded in carryii off a week's supply. Tho men wore furnished by Mr. B. T. Der and the culinary arrangement w under the supervision ol Mr. H. 1 Dent The cooking and seasonii were excellent, and received tl hearty commendation of all.

When the PLANTATION BITTEBS were first made known to the Ameri? can people, some seven years ago, it was supposed they were an entirely new thing, and had nover before been used. So far as their g?rerai use in the United States is concerned, this may be true, lt ia also true that the same Bitters were made and sold in the Island of St. Thomas, over for^y years ago, ns any old planter, mer? chant or sea captain doing business with the West Indies will tell you. It is distinctly within my recollection that on the return of my father (who was a sea captain, and doing' an ex? tensive trade in the tropics,} he would invariably have the Bitters among the ship's stores, and our family side? board was never without them. For any sickness, it matters not how severe or trifling, the decanter of these Bitters, by a different name, was always resorted to as a sovereign remedy. MAGNOLIA WATEB-Superior to the best imported German Cologne, and sold at half the price. t3?l THE MEETING AT AJTBEBTY CHUKOH was quite a success, Gen. Hampton and Messrs. Adams and Doyle, toge? ther with tho colored speakers Minor and Lee, delivered addresses which wore well recei eed. Thc kind people of this section, as usual, came well prepared with the "indispensables" of this life. Everything passed off smoothly, and all were satisfied with the results accomplished.
