JO LAJMB?A, S/CT 3aturday| 'domina, August 28, 1869. 'tic Ilemucracy of South Carolina Llbc ral-N'o lie? ter Party for the Conserva? tive Republican*. The liberal spirit uow stalking through io South-that spirit that redeemed irginia and Tennessee, and destined, ro hope, also to secure Mississippi and 'exas-has been variously interpreted, t means, we take it, the re-action gainst tho violence of a pseudo-Repub oanism. gonertdly known as radicalism, t is the normal taking tho place of tbe buoimal-the logical supplanting tho logical; it is tho pyramid turning from s apex and settling down again upon its ase. This spirit is an influence to bo cceptcd-a power to be respected-an Uy not to bo despised. Wo recoivo it, ?o welcome it; we proposo to utilize it tat how do this? This is the question, nd various methods have been proposed, 'ho Orangebarg News, speaking in bo? ult of a select Republicanism, pro o'ses that all Democrats become Repub oans and thus utilize this spirit. This, 0 think, will not do. On the other and, tho Winnsboro Neics proposes a bird party, to consist of the moderate len of all other parties, and that third arty ls the inohoate organization that revailed in Virginia and Tennessee, and di ich is known as the "Conservative Republican party." Now, if a third arty were demanded by the exigencies f the times here, we are free to say that Doh party would not be the "Conserva ivo Republican party." To say no lore, that party is said to be based upon Trout's policy, when Grant is toell known > have no policy. Another point-that arty in Virginia and Tennessee, which rae the Democracy stooping to conquer, 1 a party for time and not for eternity; hat is, a party formed to win a victory nd not to hold a citadel. Therefore, he policy of the News will not answer, [ow, then, shall wo recognize and mako [ie most of the liberal spirit to which re have referred to? A liberal Democrat arselves-a progressive Democrat al? lays-we answer, by liberalizing Demo racy, and a liberal Democracy now is bat of South Carolina. Here, then, is party for that * 'sober class" which tho Vinnsboro News claims to represent. Vhy look out for another? It is pro >osed to raise a standard and bring rea ounblo men under it. What better tandard at this time than that of the iberal Democrat? Mn. BFJ.MOKT.-It is reported, among >ther party reforms, that Mr. Belmont s to be discontinued as Chairman of the National Democratic Executive Commit ee, a position which ho has held since :he time of Mr. Buchanan. The charges >rought against Mr. Belmont are iuefli lienoy, indifference and unpopularity, rho defeat of Seymour is partially iscribed to him, and it is thought that he timo is ripe for a movement in this lirection. Of course, a meeting of the Uommitteo will have to be called in or 1er to depose Mr. B. It is a well-known act, that during the campaign, last fall, Vir. B. was luxuriating at Long Branch, vhile Augustus Schell and other gcntle non were attending to business at the Democratic headquarters. The rumor is to his resignation or removal may be i canard; but we are of opinion that a ?bungo is necessary. ANOTHER NEOKO Mon.- The Greensboro Ga.) Herald gives tho particulars of the cceut negro outrages in Hancock Coun ?. It appears that, on Saturday night, e 14th instant, a negro man, who was iviug on tho plantation of Mr. James Vlarchman, on or near the dividing line )? Hancock and Greene Counties, waa nurdercd by a party of unknown per lons in disguise. It seems that the ne {roes in the neighborhood became great y excited, and. supposing Mr. March nan to ba implicated ia the murder, a jody of thirty-five or forty organized ;hem8elves into a regular armed compa? ny, on the night the of 18th instant, and repaired to Mr. Marchman's honse. They surrounded the house and, with iorrid oaths and vows of vengeance, jommenoed an indiscriminate fire on the premises, in which Mr. Marchman was severely wounded. After keeping np the are for fifteen or twenty minutes, on the issuraucc of Mrs. Marchman that they [md killed ber husband, they left the premises, uttering the most bitter ourses against the whiles. So far as we can [earn, the negroes made no effort at con? ical m cut. Mr. Marchman mndo his es? cape in disguiso and soon procured issistance. The civil authorities acted promptly, and fifteen of the party have jeon arrested and confined in tho jail at Sparta. They havo mado a full confes? sion and given tho names of nil thc parties implicated. Floyd Moore, the eader of the gang, is yet at large. THE GALLOWS.-An Euglish contem? porary suggests that wherever death by janging is tho capital punishment pre? scribed for condemned criminals, the ex? ecution will bo "rendered painless by jue of tho many agents kuown to mo? dern medicine. " "Suppose," adds the paper in question, "that dreadful cap were at the last moment drenched with chloroform, for instance?" Letter from Wlnr.sboro. The following letter will be read with interest A citizen of Fairfield, of high character and populu-r standing, our cor? respond cu t may well claim to represent thc sentiments of the people of his Qpunty: ?? K W?TNSB?RO, Augnst 25, 1869: MB. EOITOB: Having observed with mnch interest the reception given to the "third party movement" of our District paper by the press of the State, and par? ticularly the discussion to which it has given risc between your paper and the Win nab oro Newe, I beg, as a native of the old banner District, to say a word on the subject. And, first, let "me declare my firm belief that the position assumed by the Nevo? meets with little sympathy in the Distriot, and does not represent the sentimanta of our people. Wo are all, I believe, prepared to make any sa? crifice, consistent with decency and honor, to compass the much desired end of delivering our State from the beaks and talons of the vultures now preying upon her vitals; but we are not yet con? vinced that policy demands the forma? tion of a "conservative Republican" party in our midst. Nor, indoed, do we regard tho Virginia elections as being an unmixed success; for while tho sacrifice of sentiment has been made, with the re? sult of an overwhelming popular ma? jority, the treachery of the satrap Canby threatens to nullify it with the infernal "test oath!" No, sir! Ere wo mount the stood, it becomes ns as good horse? men to see that he be well billed, lest the rein.", avail us nothing and we be pitched ignominiously over the ears of the vicious brute we seek to manage. I rejoice to see with how little favor our editor hos met in this new scheme, and I must confess that I believe every? thing possible can be accomplished un? der the old organization, provided every man lend himself with all his might to the good work. At the same time, I cannot, like some of my dearer-sighted friends, see the process by which that Augean stable, the negro Legislature, is to be cleansed of radical majority. Nor can I read in the signs around me any indications of a division of the negro radical vote. Since the last general elec? tions there have been no issues to call forth a display of hands; but for nil that, the gulf is not the less fixed and yawn? ing between the two races, and any mo? ment may bring a cause which will sweep away the deceptive veil which hides it. Then, too, we must place iu the balance against us tho demoralization of our own peoplo, or of that weaker portion to whom defeat is fatal, who think the lazy tranquility of oppression preforable to the trouble and sacrifico of manly strug? gles against it, and who, beginning with finding that "things are not so bad after all," end by fawning liko beaten curs, and licking the plundering bauds of our oppressors. With them our cause is not safe; and in a new issue, it is more likely that thoy will dosert to the other side, than that the ruling party will be dimi? nished by tho desertion to us of any con? siderable portion of their strength. X sincerely trust that my fears may never bo realized, ?nd no one would hail more gladly the dawn of a day of brighter promise to our unhappy Stute, and no one will enter moro heartily into thc struggle than myself. Let our editor find but thc best and surest way to suc? cess, or even to a reasonable hope of it, and ho will find no warmer supporter even of the conservative Republican party than LIBERALIST. Tnt: OETT?SBUBG GATHEIUNO.-The Gettysburg gathering, as a national af? fair, is a poor business. Only one ex Confederate officer is present, and our old foes may glorify themselves without the help of men who do not love them much better to-day than they did in 1803. Tho day for writing the history of our battles bas not yet come. A despatch dated Gettysburg, August 23, says: Colonel Walter Harrison, of Richmond, Va., Adjutant-Geueral of General Pick? ett's division during and after the opera? tions around Gottysburg, is the only ex-Confederate officer here. General R. E. Loe, on tho 5th of August, wrote to the Secretary of tho Rattle-Field Memo? rial Association that he had received an invitation to be present for the purpose of marking upou tho ground by endur? ing memorials of granito tho positions and movements of the armies on the field, and adds: "My engagements will not permit mc to be present. I bolieve if there I could not add anything material to the infor? mation crusting on that subject. I think it wisest, moreover, not to keep open the sores of war, bnt to follow the exam plo of thoso nations who endeavored to obliberate the marks of civil strife, and to commit to oblivion the feelings it en? gendered." General Fitzhugh Lee said in reply to the invitation extended to him, which letter was sent through Gen? eral R. E. Lee: "It will not be in my ?ower to be present, bat any information possess will bo cheerfully rendered. If the nation is to continuo as a whole, it is better to forget and forgive rather than perpetuate in granite proofs of its civil wars." RUMORED IMPEACHMENT OF GOVERNOR BULLOCK. -Tho Macon Journal and Mes? senger learns, from persons who profess to know whereof they speak, that a de? termined purpose is expressed by a lurge number of members of tho House of Roproscututivos to prefer articles of im? peachment against Governor Bullock immediately after tho Gonoral Assembly meets, and that the movement is daily gaining strength among the members. A bloody afluir occurred near Peters? burg, Vn., on the 10th, which resulted in tho death ol' a poor man named Sumuel R. Davis, at the hands of a Mr. Samuel G. Sledge. The citizens are much in? censed at the affair, and have raised a considerable fund for the prosecution of the case. A nae? for Liri ou m ilallroad?"-A? Ttn ' g meer Chased . by Fir? at fccVvnty Mlle? an Hour. V* * * To make it an iatolligeo* raottor to the reader, let me say that the Buffalo, Corry and Pittsburg Road in? tersects the Lake Shore Road at this place. The station at tho ju notion ja called Brooton. Now let it bo ?ndert stood that from this point to May? ville, at the head ol Chautauqua Lake, ft distance of only abont ton miles, a train is carried over an elevation of 700 feet) From the station to the summit the grade is about eighty feet to the mile, with curves which iucreoso the distance by four miles. It is over this road that the immense quantities of petroleum are brought. On Tuesday evening, about 0 o'clock, a train consisting of six oil cars and two passenger cars reached the summit on its way to the juuotion. Here, by so mo cause as yet unexplained, one of the oil tanks took fire. The passenger cars were at one detached, and tho brake i stopped them. Next the oil cars were cut off, and the locomotive, tender and box car, containing two valuable horses and two men, passed down tho road, the engineer supposing that the brakemen on the oil cars would arrest tho course of those, but what was his horror on look? ing back, to see the six cars in pursuit of him down tho grade, onvelopcd in flames! Thoy not only pursued but overtook him, striking the box car with incon? ceivable force, knocking the horses aud men flat upon the floor, and yet almost miraculously not throwing tho engine from the track. It was now with tho engineer a race for life, and he gu vc tho eugine every ounco of steam. Looking Sooth from the placo of my residence at that terrible juncture, one of tho most magnificent spectacles was witnessed that a man sees in a life-time. A sheet of intensely bright flame, sixty feet high, was seen ooming down that Southern slope, apparently with the speed of a meteor, nod really very nearly the speed of a hurricane, (eighty miles au hour,) for pursued and pursuer flew over the course, or rather down it, and around the curves, at thc rate of more than seventy miles an hour, as the engineer declares, and as every? body can believe who witnessed tho spectacle. The whole heavens wero illu? minated, and the landscape was lit up as by tho noonday light. Onward and downward flew the engine, and behind it flew and thundered tho hugo fiery de? mon. Twice its prodigious weight was driven against the fugitive, as if instinct with a purpose to drive it from the track. It seemed oe if to the heroic engineer and fireman there was a perfect environ? ment of peril. The speed of the engine was swell that it ceased to pump; then agaiu, the Cincinnati express was dae at the junction at this time. The engineer of tho oil train whistled "open switch," and shaking hands with the fireman, they bade each other farewell, knowing thut their lives depended on the opening of the Lake Shore switch by their friends below, and this was to imperil the express train coming down from the West with its living human freight. Thc engineer on this train saw the fire when it first broke out at the summit, and supposing he could clear the junction before the flaming terror reached it, he, too, put his engine to the utmost 6peed on a level grade. A mile short of the junction ho saw that the effort was a vain one, for the flying conflagration had rushed out upon the Lake Shore track, and was roaring onward in the direction of Dun? kirk. He checked the onward course of his own train and brought it to a stand? still. It did not proceed until 3 o'clock in tho morning. The case took in another danger, and it was imminent. A heavy freight train was coming up tho Lake Shore road. All I will say of the escape of this is that it did escape to the side track, and only escaped by the last minute of possibility. Running on to a safe distance from the depot, the engineer of tho oil train de? tached his engine and left thc six cars to consume. He says his situation was fully realized by him. He expected to lose his life. At every moment he ex? pected the engine to leave thc track. Ho saw he was going at a perilous rate of speed, but there was no help for it. The demon was behind him, and he declares that it looked liko a demon. With that fondness of real affection for his engine, which these men display, he said, "I thought everything of my engine, and was determined to stay by it to the last." The fireman made one attempt to escape by jumping from the tender, bnt the en? gineer restrained him. Altogether the occurrence was a remarkable ono, and in part remarkable for this, that no lives were lost. Thc brakemen on the oil cars had gone back to the passenger cars, when the oil ears started. It was well they did. Unless those roar oars hod been detached and stopped, their inmates would have been burned to death. INTEKN'AIJ REVENUE DECISIONS.-Com? missioner Delano decides that the prac? tice of railroad companies, canal com? panies, banks, insurance companios and other corporations which are required by law to withhold and pay over to the United States a tax of five per cent, on all dividends, interest coupons repre? senting interest, .surplus and contingent funds, of treating said amounts as ex? penses of business and deducting them in all returns whero expenses aro de? ductible, ie wrong and should not be allowed; that tho amounts thus paid aro not an expense of business, and no such returns should bo accepted until tho assessor is convinced that no deduction of thc kind has been made. Love is liko music. Somo instruments can go up two octaves, some four, aud somo all the way from black thunder to sharp lighting. As somo of thom aro susceptible only of melody, so somo hearts can sing but one song of love, while others will run in a full choral harmony. A. Stttrtle l'nlion-Tlie PIHIII hy vrbloK tit? Bmprtii Carlott? bc o mut 1 imane. By telegraphic despatches it appears that General Lesea has beon poisoned. It is uncertain whether the doed was ?erpe tra ted by some of the insurgents or y some Spaniards who feared that Lasca was using too maph clemency to? ward the Cublh forces. Certain it is that Lesea has been poisoned, and that bis mind has become sadly injured. The probability is that he will live, but bc coaio insane. The decootion by which he has been put in this sad plight, it is certain, was the same by which the inte? resting widow of the unfortunate Maxi? milian was thrown from the domain of reason into the depths of lunacy. To us, this unfortunate widow has always appeared like Shakspeare's "Ophelia," who, with darkened mind, strewed flow? ers on the stream. This poison, which maddons without bringing death to its victim, is derived from an herb which grows in Cuba, South America, and a few places in Mexi? co. The plant is one of the most won? derful of nature's productions. It re? sembles the century plant in many of its features. Like the century plant, it is a member of the cactus family; still fur? ther, it blooms once in many years, and at regular intervals. The bud is large, and resembles that of tho horse-chestnut in the peculiar gluten surrounding it. From this the natives derivo the poison. The flower is of a gigantic size, aud con? tains a purple centre, surrounded by blue and white circles. The perfume is delicious and deadly, and thc natives shun approach as the sailors of the old songs of the sirens. To inhale is sweet, but to remain is death. The sorcerers, or medicine men, take the buds of this singular plant, and, first roasting, place them in a pot with sweet oil over a tire, and dance around it with strange cere? monies, till thc oil and the juice of the herb mingle, when they cease their strange incantations, and pour the de? coction, resembling honey, into shallow plates, from which, after the lapse of a few days, it is again taken out and kept in miniature jars. Tho poison, when taken in sufficient quantity, lirst places the brain in a delightful delirium, re? sembling that produced by fusel oil. Tbis is succeeded in a few days by an un controlable apathy, in which tho patient is at times extremely rational, thcu wild? ly insane, and again rational, but greatly exhilarated. This poison is not destroy ed by being mingled with in victuals beforo being subjected to heat, but its immediate effects aro somewhat deaden? ed. They aro sure to appear, however, iu thc lapse of time. This is is the man? ner in which the poison is generally administered: When the viotim is of no great iulluence, and it is improbable that ho eau turu on his poisoner, the decoc? tion is administered in a glass of wine or a cup of cocoa. Tho poison manifests itself shortly, and in the course of a week all the various phases of tho dclirum ap? pear. The sad fate of thc Empress Car? lotta is known to all; but this description of the poison, from what it is derived, and how it acts, may aid in forming a more correct appreciation of thc horrible troubles to which she is subject. Gene? ral Lesea has been poisoned by tho same herb, and is now subject to the sarao freak of insanity ns the Empress Carlotta. [ Washington Republican. A DOMESTIC ROMANCE CONCLUDED RE-UNITED AFTER FDTTY YEARS' SEPARA? TION.-lu our daily of tho loth ultimo, wo gave the history of a romance in real life, whoso main facts it ma}' be well to recount. Samuel, father of Rev. T. B. Eastman, of this city, left Concord in 1819 to better himself in Massachusetts. He left a wife and tbree children behind, and finally went on a whuling voyage. On his return thc family had left this city, and no trace of tbem wero to be found. Fifty years passed away, the first family had grown up, and Mr. East? man, ignorant of their existence, had married again and raised another family. By au accident, Rev. Mr. Eastman as? certained that his father was alive, and following np tho trace, found and intro? duced himself to him, and told the story of tho past half century, so far as ho knew it. Thc elder Eastman, his second wife being dead, gladly heard the tidings of tho lost family, and he came to this city on tho 13th, to renew the relations that chance had so sadly sundered. ? Ho was joyfully received by his grand-children, whom he had never seen, and on tho following day performed his first duty, that of visiting his mother's grave. On tho 17th tho aged wifo, with two of her descendante, arrived in this city -from Nashua, and went to the house of her Bon, where all but ono o? her family now living wero gathered. The husband en? tered the room, and they looked at each other in silence for a moment. The old lady was tho first to speak, saying, "Is this Samuel Eastman, my husband?" "And my long lost wife ?" he added, and they rushed to each others' arms, and kissed with all the ardor of sweet sixteen. By request of tho fathor, a prayer of thanksgiving was offered over the happy re-union by Rev. T. B. Eastman. Tho old couple are now re-united, and, i though the bloom of youth has fled, both enjoy excellent health and spirits. Tho old gentleman's eyo-sight is defective, J owing to straining it at sea, but he says ; he can throw a harpoon or lanco at a whale as well us ever. Ho has never had ; a doctor in his life. The old lady is also I in excellent health, but with impaired hearing. To both wo wish years of con? tinued health aud renewed happiness. I Concord (N. H.) Patriot.

LIGHTNING.-On Wednesday afternoon last, during thc heavy storm, n Mr. Crocus and his two sons, (who were employed on Major Swygert's plantation, in Lexington,) took refuge under a tree, which was struck by lightning, and one of the sons was instantly killed, the right leg of tho father paralyzed, whilst thc other sou escaped without injury. PERIODICAL. LITERATURE. -The Septem? ber number of Die Modemcelt, tho beau? tiful fashion periodical, published at Berlin, Prussia, and imported by S. T. Taylor, No. 301 Canal street, New York, has been received, and we must confess it is one among tho best and most relia? ble journals on fashion for ladies and children in this country. It gives somo 1,500 illustrations, 280 patterns, 400 diagrams of embroider), and twelve large colored engravings yearly, and tho price is so cheap that every lady can afford to subscribo for it-ouly S3 a year, or 35 cents for singlo copies.

Thc musical world, as also the ad? mirers of art, and the literati, too, have long been indebted to Watson^ Arl Journal for articles well written and pos? sessing vast information. Materially has it increased its interest, and its sphere of usefulness enlarged. The fair devotees to fashion will henceforth bestow their share of praise and patronage upon it. The most beautiful feature of this week's number is the fino colored print, and tho most useful tho accompanying practica? ble pattern. It is published weekly in New York, at 87.50 a year, or 25 cents a single copy. THE COMET.-As many of our good citizens havo lost much timo and sleep in vainly looking for this wonder of the heavens, and in order that no more dis? appointment ma)- be experienced by tho comet-seekers, we give to our readers this morning the opinion of an expert on the subject-a distinguished Profes? sor of tho University of Georgia-who informed tho editor of the Augusta Chronic!'! that he was confident that it was impossible for the comet to be seen here with thc naked eye, as it only ap? peared very low down on tho horizon, and there but for a very short time. Tho Professor said that ho, himself, had seen it from tho Observatory of the University with the assistance of a telescope. The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, however, says: "A star of unusual lustre and magni? tude can be seen in the Eastern heavens any fine mid-night.

A28+3 A WONDERFUL SOUTHERN DISCOVERY. lu the South, where liver complaint and bilious diseases prevail to so great an extent, there has long been felt a need of a medicine that would act specifically and promptly on the Liver, restoring it to its noriu.il functions, and at the same time bo safe from after effects, and yet so simple that it might be used by any one. It is claimed that Dr. Terr's VEGETABLE LIVER PLLLS supplies this waut. They act directly on the Liver; their constant uso will not injure in the slightest degree the most delicate consti? tution. Females at any period may use them with great benefit, and realize great relief from the distressing nausea which they experience at certain times. These pills are not recommended OB a universal cure-a!!, but simply for diseased Liver, and those maladies which follow a de? rangement of that important organ, such as Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Indiges? tion, Loss of Appetite, Costiveness, Piles, Jaundice. Sour Stomach, Ladies' Heartburn, Chills and Fever, Foul Breath, Restlessness at night, and Flatu? lency. These invaluable pills may be found in every Drug Store of any note in the South and West.

It has produced a radiant glow on the female check. It bas invigorated the feeble and languishing. It has imparted vigor to the young. It has vitalized the decaying functions of age. It has puri? fied the blood and invigorated life. It has cured Liver Complaint and nervous disorders. It has proven to be a great blessing to females. It establishes regu? larity of tho organs. It is the lamp of life and way to health, and everybody should try a* botte of HEINITSH'S QUEEN'S DELIGHT. A14 PRETTY WOMEN.-A comparatively few Ladies monopolize the Beauty as well as tho attention of Society. This ought not to be so, but it is; and will be while men are foolish, and single out pretty faces for companions. This can all be changed by using Ha? gan's Magnolia Balm, which gives the Bloom of Youth and a refined sparkling Boauty for the Complexion, pleasing, I powferful and natural.
