According to the Now York Herald, a gentleman from Alabama, now in Washington city, states that great numbers of the more respectable people in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, and, ho doubts not, in the othor Southern States, have long had under consideration, and have made preparations for moving, some into Californio, some to the Northern States, and others to the Territories, in the event of General Grant's elec? tion. He says that they are fully convinced that if the Republicans are successful, it will be utterly impossi? ble for them to live in tho States where they now reside. We have heard intimations before of a similar purpose entertained in another im? portant State of the South; but it is not at all likely that such nn idea is generally entertained. There has been already a considerable emigra? tion from some Southern localities, where tho white population is small and defenceless, to tho Northern tier of Southern States, and even to the North and West. Tho selling ont of property and removal to a great dis? tance, ore not often accomplished, in the best of times, without sacrifice; but, at tho present prices of property in tho South, to Bell ont is very near to giving away. When to this is added tho surrender of old associa? tions, and the passing of tho remain? der of life in exile from the scenes and friends of early years, it must be coufessed that it may well bo a ques? tion with Southam land-owners whether it is not "better to bear the ills they have, thau to fly to others that they know uot of," by emigra? tion, especially to a distant region like California, where, as appears from a late number of the leading periodical of that Shite, the profes? sions are all over-crowded, and there is no prospect of any man improving his condition, unless he either has capital, or, by his labor in mechanical and agricultural employments, can add to the productivo wealth of tho State. Where there is either capital or labor, if the object is to escape apprehended evils peculiar to the Southern States, emigrants will find nil in Maryland that thoy can gain by roruoval elsewhere. Whilst, as the Baltimore Sun says, no ono can rofnse to sympathize with the appre? hensions which are said to bo prompt? ing Borne persons in tho South to think of emigration, it is probable that those w*ho will most profit by suck a movement will bo the shrewd and unscrupulous adventurers whoso vocation it has become to speculate npon the miseries and necessities of the Sonthern people. Too much caution cannot be exercised in snob a step as this, so comparatively easy, perhaps, to take, but so difficult, if not impossible, to retrace. That the Southern States, the gar? den spot of this country, will be per? manently abandoned by the white rece, especially in view of the ever widening river of emigration from tho old world, is too improbable an idea to bo seriously disonssod. If the present proprietors relinquish it, emigrants from other parts of this country and from Europe will take their place?. In any event, the South is yet to become more pros perons, populous and powerful than ever. It is now in a transition state, and ono which requires to be handled with groat caution and cirou inspec? tion, but, at tho same time, with nervo n.nri ?elf-pcseseic?:. Tho skill fnl and energotio muriner keeps.Iiis eye upon the clouds that threaten storm, bnt does not shorten sail or obange his course till tho moment when he becomes convinced that safety demanda it. It seems to be too early now for proprietors in the South to sacrifice great interests-to leave the ship and go out in the small boats upon an uncertain ocean. What if the storm they dread never comes at all, or tho ship outrides it, whilst they are tossed about in their frail vessels and sink at last in un? known seas? - Address of the Central Democratic Club to the Democratic Party ol SoutH Carolina. FELLOW-CITIZENS: Tho election for Presidout and vice-President of the United States' is now closo at hand. Tho great principles involved in the contest; tho mngnitudo of tho irjfer ests at stake, and thc influenco which this Stnto may hnvo ou tho result, make this a proper occasion to Inj before you a brief address. Tho tendency and purpose of the radical party; ns manifested iu words and acts, are tho absorption of thc liberty of tho individual; tho do struction of States; tho subversion ol tho Constitution, and tho orectior upon the ruins of individual auci public liberty, a grand, grinding, consolidated despotism. Already il hos made rapid strides in that direc tion. Little, now, is loft for it to d< but to fuse into one mass, aud thei crystalizo into permanent form it: various acquisitions of usurpet power. Its capricious acts; it wanton cruelties; its corrupt prac tices; its enormous burdens you havi felt and do know. Against these and more than these, you aro nov called upon to contiuuo a resoluti fight with tho peaceful, thougl potent, weapon of tho ballot. Tb Democratic party hero and every where aro striking with you for th principles of liberty, and the form of Government to which we hav been accustomed, for a written Con 8titution, a Federal Union and distinct existenco of the States. Surely, then, tho principles of th contest are important, and tho intei est gre.'.t. Arouse, therefore, to th magnitude of tho emergency, an spare no efforts for success. Who the timo for registration shall come let no man fail to appear, and non fail to voto. Let each ono remembe that his individual voto may decid tho election in bis own District, an that tho doctoral vote of the Stat may turn tho scalo in favor of th Democratic party. Our people must not despond. n< relax their efforts, if thorc should 1 failures elsewhere. On tho contri ry, they will have reason to hope, an much to stimulate them to increase energy, for it is yet possible to wii State' electious are influenced, an sometimes controlled by local isac and it bas often happened that thc go one way, and in a few weeks ther after, in the same place, tho Pres dential elections another. This rmi bo the caso in tho present canvas and, indeed, we have reason to bo] so. Recently wo have received r ports from all parts of tho Stat which induce the belief that Soul Carolina, with proper effort, will 1 carried for Seymour and Blair. L not tho failure to do so bo ascribe to you. Tho canvass in which you arc no engaged, is full of excitement, whit wiil probably continue and increase the end. Wo trust, therefore, that will not bo amiss to drop you a woi of caution. The criminality of a fei und perhaps the indiscretion of man have placed it in tho power of mali and misrepresentation to injuiv n and seriously to damage the comm? canso. Wo urge yon, therefore, n only to prevent violence, but to a stain from the appearance of it. V are dealing with a false and subi foe-prolilie in inventions and verna ous in purpose-a foe who fully undi Rtands tho temporary profit of nimble lie, which too often acbiev its end boforo tho truth can evi buckle on ber armor. We need not urgo upon you tl policy and tho duty of treating, wi great kindness and forboaranoo, tl colored population of the Sta! This you have ever dono, and w continue to do, as long as yon a permitted. We have no doubt y will make manifest the untruth of t malieions charge, that by force y have compelled their votes or by i timidation kept them from the pol Their minds are rapidly opening the truth that the vagrant white m from the North, as well as the ron gado of the South, who live by c oeiving and plundering them, ai who httvo been driving them to c atrnotion, are not true friends, a: are unworthy of confidence and sn port. With a fair opportunity th will return to yon, as their estrene ment is owing entirely to the fal teachings and malignant efforts of t - < .Il.I Northern emissary.. It cannot be forgotten that the State voluntarily, in 1665, invested tba colored popula? tion with every civil right; and that ts Dei?omittio party, in Convention April last, recognized them, under tho previous action of the State, as an integral element in the body poli tic-and expressed. its. willingness, when in power, to enfranchise them to the extent whioh the. pnblio weal ahd their own good might warrant. The position then taken Dy the Con? vention, and whioh was announced to the poople of the State and the coun? try, is now re-affirmed. We beg you to remember that the Democratic party of tho Stato was not orgnnizod for the purpose merely of supporting the nominees of the party, but for higher purposes and moro enduring ends. It is possible that our present leaders may bo de? feated, but our principles will sur? vive. The liberty of tho individual, the being and welfaro of States, tho Constitution of the United States and a Federal Union under it, are objects worthy of patience and en? during efforts. In tho success wo hope for, onr organization will be most useful; nnd, in case of defeat, it will becomo essential. We, there? fore, desire to impress upon you the necessity of preserving intact and in full eucrgy tho admirable organiza? tions of tho Democratic party of South Carolina.

Tho flood has gradually receded, aud hundreds of those whose homes wore inundated are once moro able to step out upou tho solid earth. It is almost impossible to estimate the damago doue, so extensivo was tho district overflowed, and no one will ever know tho amount of suffering and privation endured by thoso who, though in a great city, were almost reduced to starvation before succor could be seut them.

DEAR Sm: lu your paper of last week, yon or one of your corres? pondents says that Dr. Diake is not tho originator of the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS, and that they woro manufactured and sold by one Pedro Martelle, an old Spaniard, in tho Island of St. Thomas, over forty years ago, as every old sea captain can testify. Now, sir, I can certify to the above as being true, for I have followed the seo for over forty years, ? most of the time doing business with tho West Indies. These samo Bitters, differently put np and named, were brought to my notice on my first trip to the Island of St. Croix, for a cargo of rum, and for years and years after, my ship's stores were never without them. I always supplied my family and many of my neighbors wira them, and eau truly say a better Bitters aud Tonic, is not made in all the world. Yours truly, Capt. HENRY WENTZ.
