Speaking of the election, tho Cou? rier says: A very full vote was polled, and tho election passed off without tho occasion of auy disturbance that wo could learn of. Indeed, wo have no hesitation in pronouncing it tho mobt quiet election wo have ever known, lt may be proper to state that muuy votes woro rejected as fraudulent, for several reasons: firwt, many doublo votes wero polled, and, secondly, many ballots were deposit? ed in tho wrong box. Notwithstand? ing thoso drawbacks, wc believe a very full vote waa polled. - Wm. L. Bronson. F.MO.. an eighty? year old citizen of Sumter, died tiny or two ngo. MK. EDITOB: We uudoretand that it in the intention of the young men composing tho proposed brass band, to .'take np n collection for tho pur poso of pnrobasing Instrumenta, and the object cf this communication ia to nrge oar oitizens to contribute as liberally as possible to this enterprise. Every ono will admit that wo need snob an institution among na, and where there exists as much musical talent as 1 here is in Columbia, we soo no reason why we should not liavo a capital band. Messrs. Churlos Har* rison and Riobard Weam have kind" ly consented to solicit subscriptions for them, and will call upon our citi? zens in a few days for that purpose. Mr. W. D. Pock will also rocoivo any contributions which may bo given him. The funds, when oolleoted, wil bo placed in tho hands of Mr. R. L. Bryan, who will order tho instru? ments; and when tho instruments are received, a board of trustees will be chosen, into whoso custody tho in? struments will revert in case of thc dissolution of tho band, to bc retain? ed by thom for any other party that may wish to use them. Thus, it will be seen, the instruments will remain the property of tho citizens, and we may always have a band among us. Let our citizens contribute liberally, and secure good instruments.

AFFRAY IN AUGUSTA.-About '? o'clock, on Thursday, a row com racuced between a whito roan and a negro, which resulted in the killing of Albert Ruffiu, the County Sheri tl', and ono negro. Tho excitement was iuteuse, but through tho infleuco of leading citizens and tho co-operation of the military, both parties dis? persed quietly and order was.restored, each party accusing the other uf being responsible for tho difficulty. In consequence of tho threats of eer tuin negroes, it was deemed necessary to patrol the city, a detail of citizens having volunteered to do so, nuder the orders of the military. A young gentleman and lady of New Albany, Indiana, have made a novol bot on tho Presidential elec? tion. If Grant is elected, tho young man agrees to marry tho lady, and if Soymour is oleoted, tho young lady is to marry tho gonMnnmo Tim bet is g good'onc for tho young lady. "Heads I win, tails you lose." OATCHIN? MATT. BAOS.-One of the most interesting features of the post? al oar system, that ie now reda oed to a science on' the Northern railroads, ia the "catohlng service." by which the mails are taken up at the stations along tho route without checking the speed of the trains. The bag is hang on a frame erected beside the track, so as to be within the reach of the agent. On the side of the oar is an iron% arm, which is operated by means of a handle neting as a lever. As the train approaches the station, a bag is dropped from the car win? dow, tho arm is thrown out and the suspended poach is caught up and wedged firmly against the side of tho car in tho joint of tho V formed by tho oxtended iron rod. It is then immediately opened and sorted, and tho mail for tho next station is inado up and placed ready to be thrown out. This process is repeated many times along the route, and thc con? stant reception sud delivery of mails adds greatly to the labors of the clerks. A new but very effective method of separating colored peoplo from white has been discovered in Spring? field, Massachusetts. Tho Republican relates that .Marcus Tourtellotte, of that city, in order to compel the colored Methodist church, in Loring street, to sell its premises, has built a fence around tho church ns high as tho eaves, only eighteen inches dis? tant on ono side, and nbout a yard on the other. To render it still moro offensive, tho fence is painted black ou the sido next to tho church. Tho church is, of course, rendered dark in thc midst of day, and the heat on hot Sabbaths is absolutely stilling. Tho reason assigned for this persecu? tion is that tho peoplo aro noisy. .-? What a place for sportsmen some portions of California must be! A gentleman, writing from San Buena? ventura, says that rabbits, hares, quails, ground-squirrels, and other birds and animals aro to bo counted there by thousauds, and that he shot a buggy load of them in au hour or two, without leuviug bis seat. Ho killed, on ono occasion, .two rabbits at ono shot, nud three at another. In the last instance, ho only saw one, but when he went to pick it up from the sido of a bush, ho found two others, kicking their death-throes alongside! Indeed, game is so plen? tiful there, that farmers ure obliged to kill it oft* with poison in order to 8uvo their crops from being cnteu up. The Italia aunounces that Pi? IX is about to revivo the order of tho Knights of Malta, aud to give new defenders to tho cross. PI8T0LS, PISTOLS.
