COLUMBIA. Thursday Mornin*, Nov. 12. IH68. The SoutU Carolina Uemoemcy. Most heartily do wo congratulate the Demooratio party of South Caro? lina npon the result of tho canvass in this State. Tho full and complete returns of tho election havo bot yet reached us, but enough is known to establish tho fact that wo have elected two ont of the four Congressmen, and fallen , only a few thousand short of carrying tho State for the candidates of the National Democracy. Ever si nco the Democratic party of South Carolina was organized in April hist, it has boen steadily in? creasing ita influence and adding to ita successes. Step by stop it is marching on to the attainment of its legitimate aspiration. Based upon wiso and just and equitable princi? ples, providing for tho rights of all classes of tho people, it will ere long command tho unwavering support of a majority of the voting population of South Carolina. (In the meantime, lot tho party remain loyal to its standards/ ;'Other fields will soon invito ?B to new battles. We stand in the shadow of defeat, bnt we stand undismayed. We remain resolute, ftrm and hopeful. The pride of a good ?nd gallant fight is ours. The ardor of a young and growing party is ours. From the nettle defeat we intend to plnok the flower of future victory. And we echo the sentiment that "a beaton Democracy is a nobler thing than a triumphant radicalism." Preserving its organization, re? maining true to its principios, let our party now bend every energy to tho industrial regeneration of tho State. Let our people go bravely to work. Seek to have peace. Seek to invito immigration and. capital. Look to the mechanic and manufacturing arts. Stir the soil abd make it bring forth its ample fruits. Dignify and enno? ble labor and make honest toil in all ita formn honorable. Let wealth como to help us in our poverty and in our politics. Better than logic, bet ter tbuu rhetoric, is material deve lopmeut when a State poliey is to be affected and consummated. Nor think that iu the national can? vass all has been lost. Tho Denio oratie candidato received, perhaps, larger popular vote than his Presi? dential opponent, and larger gains have been made in the United States Houso of Represen tatives. Against gigantic odds, the National Demoora oy fought in the lalo struggle. The weapons of passion, prejudice, mis representation and fraud were freely used against us. The wealth of the bond-holder was poured into tho treasury of the radical party. Sixty thousand office-holders were against us. Thc army was against us. All thc officers of tho Nu*ionnl Govern ment, except its powerless chief wielded their iufluenco against* us Nearly half a million of negroes voted against us, and three-quarters of a million of while voters havo been disfranchised. Yet. under these disadvantages, the Natiouul Demo cracy made a noble fight and deve loped a vast power. That power re maius. The party will yet preval At least it will fight for the control by Hie ballot, of the Government, as long as there is a Government to prc serve. Wo refer, in conclusion, to an extract from the New York World, which has carried high and far the banner of the National Democracy: "It is not morely as tho represen? tative of a beaten party, pouring oil npou their wounds, therefore, that wo vindicate in this tho very crisis of our misfortune, and ns wo believe of tho conn try's calamity, tho ardor uud tho courage, but tho desperateness, also, of our struggle. Rat ber do we proclaim in this most trying hour speaking for .1 party serenely secure of possessing tho future of our coun? try, and of moulding her magnificent destinies when itself shall have boon purged nnd moulded for that impe? rial t?\ak-an unshaken and unshaka? ble conQdenco in its puissant and undying youth, whioh out of disaster will get discipline, out of misfor? tunes, patience and unconquerable coarago, out of blunders, wisdom and a settled will. "To this grent work, here and now, upon a battle-field whioh has been lost, do wo invite, beneath undisho? nored standards, tho youth, the man? hood of our time.'' The negro suffrage amendment to tho Missouri State Constitution is undoubtedly defeated. St. Louis, while giving a majority of 2.fl?4 for Grant, gives 8,825 against it. ATFAIBS rs DABiirNQTON.-The De? mocrat says: "On Monday, the 9th inst, about ,4 o'clock P. Mv the gin house of R. D. F. Rollins, near Tinimoncvillo, wan burned to thoground, with somo leight bales cf cotton and ? larga quantity of cotton geed. The cause, as we learn, was that one or more matches were in the seed cotton put in the gin. We regret the loss, Dick. Do you accuse the Demoorats? "On Thursday last, at Florence, the Rev. Reuben Gregg, (colored,) accidentally blew his brains out. ''A good-natured colored lad, by the name of Andrew, formerly be? longing to Mai. Spain, killed himself, on Saturday, by misad ven toro. "The dwelling house of Mr. Joseph Norwood, at Hurtsville, in this Dis? trict, with almost its entilo contents, was destroyed by lire on thc night of the 2d instant. "A party of colored men mado a raid on n cotton houso belonging to Mr. Daw, a few nights ago, when ho fired npon them. Tho fire was re? turned and Mr. Law dnngcroasly wounded. The robbers then resumed their work-carried off two mules and four bales of cotton. They wero pursned by tho neighbors, but es? caped with the cotton, although tho wagon and team were captured." SCENES AT . THE POLLS.-Tho va? rious voting precincts in the city wero crowded yesterday nt an early hour. Notwithstanding tho rain that prevailed, there was a long line of voters at eaoh precinct, with umbrel? las of every description, and without umbrellas. At Ward No. 2 there as? sembled a large crowd of colored men, every ono armed with a club, and many wearing ribbons in their coats. These meu during the day became excited, and for a time a riot was apprehended. They mobbed every colored mau who attempted to vote auy but tho radical ticket, and during tho entire day, by their noisy, boisterous and threatening manner, created an apprehension of a distur? bance. Their aim waa to intimidate, but it is needless to say that in this they failed. The white people were determined to exercise their franchise and they did it despite the threaten? ing aspect of the crowd. We havo frequently called attention to tho presence at these places of tho idle vagabond boys, who circulate among tho crowd, and often succeed in cre? ating a row. Of theso there wore a largo number present, and their pre? sence had muoh to do with the ex? cited condition of the crowd. At the Third Precinct of Ward 3, there was also a large crowd of excited negroes, evidently with the samo object in view. Owing, however, to the calm and dignified demeanor of the whites there resulted no breach of thc peace, and the polls closed without a singlo disturbance of any importance, save those raised by drunken and excited mobs of black men. No better proof that the citizens of Charleston did their whole duty can be fonnd than in the fact that gentlemen, venerable men, whose hairs had whitened with the snows of many winters, and who had not been at the polls in many years, came out yesterday and helped swell the vote for peace and prosperi? ty. It is also a notablo fact that while the mnjority of ignorant co? lored men wero "wedded to their idols," and afraid to vote for the man whom they knew was best fitted for the position of Mayor of Charleston, because they were bullied into voting for tho "League" candidates, a large number of sensible, intelligent |co lored men, Republicans too, had independence enough to vote con? scientiously. Upon the whole, there is every reason for congratulation, in the fact that the public peace was preserved inviolable throughout the heated and excited canvass of yesterday. Tho good name of Charleston has not been sullied. [Charleston Courier, 11th. Had it not been for the bullying, intimidation and ruffianly treatment of the colored men who desired to vote for Lesesne by their opponents, and had not the importation aud re? gistration of country negroes been carried on in the most shameless and wholesale manner, tho result for the Citizens' party would have been an overwhelming trihmph. As it is, we can only await the couut with reason? able hope and prepare to abide tho issue.-Charleston Hexes. A FIENDISH MURDEH.-Mr. James B. Jackson and a younger brother in tho buggy with him, while on their way borne, last Thursday night, about 0 o'clock, when within throe miles of home, were fired upon by some one secreted in the corner of tho fence. The shot took effect in tho sido and back of both. Tho elder, James R. Jackson, has since diod; the other is in a critical condi? tion, thongh hopes of his recovery are entertained.-Marion Orescent. Of soven Governors in as many "reconstructed" Southern States, only two have resided South more than three years. Of tho ten United States Senators elected in five South? ern Stater., eight are recent emi? grants.

Office of Udolpho Wolfe, SOLE IJLPORTEK OF THE SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS, 22 LEAVER STREET, NEW YORK, NOV. 3, '(58. To the People of the Southern States. When the puro modiciual restorative, now so widely kuown as WOLFE'S SCHIE? DAM KCHNAPrS, was introduced into thc world, under tho endorsement of 4,000 leading members of tho medical profes? sion, Bomo twenty years ago, its proprie? tor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and useful preparations. He, therefore, en? deavored to invest it with tho strongest possiblo safeguard agaiust counterfeiters, and to ronder all attempts to pirate it dif? ficult and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished chemists for analj-sis, and pronounced by them tho purest spirit ever manufactured. Ito purity and properties having been thus ascertained, samples of tho article were forwarded to 10,000 physi? cians, including all tho leading practition? ers in tho United States, for purposes of oxporiiuont. A circular, requesting a trial of tho preparation and a report of tho re? sult, accompanied each specimen. 4,000 of the most eminent medical men in tho Union promptly responded. Their opinions of tho article woro unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, they said, had long been wanted by the profession, as no reb? aneo could be placed on the ordinary liquors of ctmimorco; all of which were more or less adulterated, and, therefore, unfit for medical purposes. Tho peculiar excellence and strength of the oil of juni? per, which formed one of tho principal in? gredients of tho Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of tho alcoholic element, givo it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from pro? fessional men of tho highest rank woro published in a coudoused form, and en? closed with each bottle ol tho Schnapps, as ono of tho guarantees of its genuine? ness. Other precautions against fraud woro also adopted; a patent waB obtained for tho article, tho label was copyrighted, a fae simile ot tho proprietor's autograph signature was attached to each label and cover, his name and that of tho prepara? tion were embossed on the bottles, and thc corks were sealed with his private seal. No article had ever boon sold in this coun? try under tho namo of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aro? matic Schnapps, in 1851; and the label was deposited, us his trade mark, in the United States District Court for the Southern Dis? trict of New York during that yoar. It might bo supposed, by persons unac? quainted with tho daring oharacter of the pirates who prey upon the roputation of honorablo merchants, by vending delete? rious trash nuder thoir namo, that tho protections so oarefully thrown around thoao Schnapps would havo precluded tho introductions and sale of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimu? lated tho rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of tho nronr!?*cr ha;, Liea auden; tho endorsement whioh his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medical profession has boen claimed by mendacious humbugs: bin labels and bottles have been imitated, his advertise? ments paraphrased, his circulars copied, and, worse than all, dishonorable retailors, after disposing of tho genuino contents of his bottles, hare filled them up with com? mon gin, tho most deleterious of all liquors, and thoa made his namo and brand a corer for poison. The public, the medical profession and the sick, for Whom the Schiodam Aromatic Schnapps ls proscribed as a romody, aro equally interested with tho proprietor in the detection and supprcesion of theso ne? farious practices.. Tho genuine artielo? manufactured at the establishment of tho undersigned, in Schiodam, Holland, ia dis? tilled from a barley of tho finest quality, and llavorcd with an ojsential extract of tho berry of tho Italian juniper, of une? qualled purity. By a process unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it ii freed from every acrimonious and corro? sivo element. Complaints have been received from tho leading physicians and . families in the Southern ?tates, of the sale of cheap imi? tations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in those markets; and travelers, who are in the habit of using it as an anti? doto to the baneful iulluence of unwhole? some river water, testify that cheap gio, put up in Schiedam bottles, i.i frequently palmed off upon tho unwary. Tho agents of tho undersigned have bcon requested to institute inquiries on the subject, und to forward to him tho naruos of such parties aa they may ascertain to bo engaged in tho atrocious system of dcooption. In conclusion, tho undersigned would nay that ho has produced, from under thc hands of tho most distinguished men ol science in America, proofs unanswerable of tho purity and medicinal excellence ol tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that bc has oxponded many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safo guards, which ho designed should protocl tho public and himself against fraudnloul imitations; that he has shown it to bo thc only liquor in the world that can bo uni formly depended upon a? unadulterated that he has challenged investigation analysis, comparison, and experiment it all its forms; and from every ordeal tin preparation which bears his namo, sea and trade mark, has come off triumphant He, thereloro, feels it a duty he owes to lui fellow-citizens generally, to tho m?dica profession and the sick, to denounce and esposo tho Charlatans who countorfei tli?so evidences of Identity, and ho calli upon tho press and tho public to aid bin in his efforts to remedy so great an evil. Tho following letters and certificates from thc loading physicians and chemist of this city, will provo to thc reader tba all goods sold by tho undersigned aro al thoy are represented to bc. UDOLPUO WOLFE. I feel bound to say, that I regard yon Schnapps as being, in every respect, pre emineutly puro, and deserving of medics patrouago.

GLORIO{JS VICTORY-COLUMMA IN TUE HANDS OE THE DEMOCRACT. Wo congratulate tho Democracy of Columbia upon the signal victory achieved at the polls on Tuesday. Tho entiro ticket nominated by the Democratic party has been carried by a handsome majority, and John Mc? Kenzie is the Mayor. Mr. McKen? zie is too woll known to need com? ment from us. Ho lins beeu tried in many positions of trust, but never bas been found wanting. It may well be said that the city of Colum? bia is in Rafe banda. The Aldermen elect were selected from our best citi? zens, and we predict tbut neither Democrats or Republicans will have cause to regret the result of this most important election. We be? lieve the new city government will prove satisfactory to all parties; that the affairs of the city will bo con? ducted without fear, affection or fa? vor; and that this election will do much to establish firmly those friend? ly relations which ought to exist atoong all classes of our people. The glorious achievement of the Demo? cracy in this city is duo to the fact that our white people voted together almost as one man, and wore work? ing for principles and not men. Tho merchant, the mechanic and tho citi? zens generally moved to the polls shoulder to shoulder, although Mr. McKenzie was recognized us tho " Workiugmau's Candidate." His thanks are due to many of his friends who belong to the mechanic or work? ing class for the energy, zeal and per? severance exhibited. We omit names, as where so many acted well, it were "invidious to particularize." On tho result of the election being announc? ed, Mr. Palmer elevated a tin coffee? pot to the top of IUB flag-staff-where a United States flag waved-and Mr. Pollock elevated a bottle of cham? pagne, proffering either to tho indi? vidual who would climb the polls for the aforesaid prizes; but the chal? lenge was not accepted. The First and Second Wards foll back a little on thc general result, but tho Third and Fourth wero up promptly, aud not only filled tho gap, but charged beyond. The following is tho result of the vote-we omit tho names ol tho oaudidates voted for as Aldermen, from tho fact that several had de? clined tho nomination, while otheri were geuerally understood as not be ing candidates: Mayor.
