il ? ' ' ! 1 i - COLUMBIANS. C. -,-. -.? rr ? -; . no Thursday Mormn?r, Sept. 9, 186B. ?? Wneat'a in ? nkmm V The discussion which has been going on, ia the newspapers, with regard io party names, involves tho shadow cather thad tho substance. It is a bootless de? bate, nnd we may as well turn oar atten? tion to more substantial matters. Tho essence o?TT"??riy"l8^ and policy, aad .not in its namo. For ourselves, wo desire to be understood as projJoBifag^o(wj po new nnrne for tho De? mocracy ei tiler here br elsewhere. True, we have distinctly laid it down that our Democ' acy is liberul, vital and progres? sive; but wo have no special desire tb at it should spring forth.'at this time, or auy. other timo, with any prefix whatever. The Winnsboro Neics and the Orange? barg Neios proposed to ajnk the name of Democracy into that of "Conservative Republicanism.'* But we desired to fall' into no "slough of despond,M such us wo felt this might result in, and so wo ob^ectei.' ? The" Charleston Nenes, in' State politics, wants tb sink "Democrat" inW^'Abti-^^ at?d the Barn well Journal suggests that "Conserva? tivo" would -be less offensive than ""De? mocrat" to radical ears polite. ' With due deference to our respected co tempo? raries, it appears to us that no great re? sult? will be effected by that means, whatever name maybe agreed upon. Names, espeoiu??y when taken for an open and avowed purpose, will influence very few suffragans. Aa for ourselves, thia journal is a Democratic one, and its mode pf making proselytes and gaining adherents is to commend Demooraoy to its opponents by the fair, just and liberal principles it upholds and the open policy it advocates. A* before distinctly stated, oar polioy proposes to make South Caro? lina prosperous; and for the immediate present, we deem it wise to array against the radical regime all the anti-radical ele? ments Of the State. In this way, we aro anti-radical-as much so as those who assume that specific name. But we are that, and more than that, when we come to look at tlie general political principles that we uphold. Apart from these con? siderations, do our friends not see that there are solid advantages to accrue to us from association with a national party? We admit that every State should subor? dinate the interests of any -J at ional party to its own local interests-for with the State rests the great body of our rights. Primarily, we should certainly look out for ourselves. We should not depend upon others for relief. And should the question spring up as between the inte? rests of South Carolina and the interests of any national party whatever, it would not take us long to apply the Democratic principle and provide for home interests. But this wo suggest: Assume that there exists no antagonism between a State and national party; let it be taken for granted that their iuterests are concur? rent ; and does it not at once appear to the impartial mind, that there are pecu? liar and eminent advantages to accrue to a State party from an alliance with a na? tional organization? We need not seek to establish the proposition. It is self evident. But to illustrate: Does not the radical party ia South Carolina derive aid and comfort and confidence from its connection with the general radical party? It certainly does. And we take it that it is not the less true that the au ti-radicali8ts of South Carolina would derive no little advantage from finding themselves ia accord with a body of men North, Sooth, East, and West, having a common purpose and a common party bannar. Hence it is that, in our opi? nion, our "Democratic alliance," to which wo have before referred, is not a suggestion to be contemptuously thrust aside. That "third party" movement is very far from being a success. The elements that go to compose it, are yet floating in empty space. And who knows but that they may yet quietly enter the Democratic mass, enlarging, and strengthening, and vitalizing it leaveniogAthe lump, if you please. Who knows but that the New York Herald may not be right and sagacious when it suggests that all opposition to radicalism must concentrate in the Democratic organi? zation, or else be frittered away. Our hope is, that the Democratic party will wisely adjust itself to the circumstances around it, and be a party for the coun? try, and the whole oountry. Our hope is, that it may step out to rescue tho land from the reckless role of the reigning power. If it shall come up to tho mea? sure of its duties and responsibilities, who can say but that the name of Demo? crat may yet be a pleasant one in tho ears of a united country. Having said this much by way of plac? ing ourselves reclus in curia, we shall henceforth deal with the kernel, and lay the shell aside.

Ile rteprjtCDled hijfcelf ?a U??D? profonoaiy en rapport with bota GrantanaT3cott, end hinted that martial law for Edge field District had already been decided upon. There is no earthly nso for martial law in Edgefield,-without it be to quiet the guilty fears and assure tho personal "saTefy'oTthe incendiaries"" wfio" ?re laying thu trnio thab.rcosttrary-.to their expecta? tion:!, has not yet exploded, hut may still do so., Wehoyp for the honor of such civil government as wo"stilt posse!? bab, that is nonsense! We meun to say that wa hope, for the aake of such poor odds and ends of peaco as we still enjoy, that Governor Scott will not listen to these suggestions. It is too late in tho progress of this revolution to repeat the ghastly experiments' in 'Tennessee and Arkansas, whilo tho paasious of the war were not yet ourb?d. There is no surer method of lighting np -a war* of-.races hero than to add; to the ?iyjl grievances of tho people, nil but intolerable as they are, the presence and domination of a black militia. The negro guard around our jail, abd the ammunition within it, hre quito enough. - For God's sake, let martial law stop at this. There is peril nu.d blood in this matter of martial law and negro militia, and we beg Oeweruor Scott to consider weil of it. The whites wish and mean no harm to tho ne^?oesr-^we say it emphatically but they certainly do mean to protect themselves, their families ami their pro? perty, against tho perils of a barbarian mob, inflamed' tp desperation by a half dozen alien and traitorous white men. Tho presonce of militia will intensify this purposo, for they will be regarded not as protectors of the peace of society, but as shields and guarantees of safety to tho devils who have done, and are still doing, all the mischief. The people of Edge field have been gratuitously and need? lessly insulted, degraded, trampled upon, tyrannized over, as people never were before-never! We will not and oannot put up with a militia here after the Brownlow or Clayton pattern. If tho so-called civil administration, of which Governor Scott is the chief, is powerless to preserve order in a "reconstructed State of the Union," then let us be turned over again to tho protectiou of the army of the United States. Any? thing is preferable to a militia rule, swayed bj* such wretches as would sway it here. Tho risk of life-death itself is preferable to any such rule ns this. It is too lato for a repetition of Tennessee and Arkansas history iu this matter. With respect to tho meeting recently held in Edgcfield, where 5,000 persons wore said to bo present, according to radical account, the Edgeficld Advertiser says: Now as to the number of tho au? dience, there was not a human being over 1,200, if so many. And ns to tho presence of "both races," the whites were confined to some three or four citi? zens of the town, who went out of mero curiosity, and soon left in dusgust; and to H?ge, Jacksou, Realf, Eichelber, and, perhaps, a half dozen of our residont State Constables. Even the few pro? fessed white Republicans {very few, thank God!) who dwell in our midst, were not present. These Intter, as they always do on such occasions, evinced no desire to herd with the negroes and carpet-bag? gers. Tho meeting was the least re? spectable one we havo ever known to bo held iu Edgcfield. Hogo's speech, as published in thc Republican, is a bare skeleton of tho speech he actually made. The former as compared to the lattor is as houoy com? pared to vitriol. As mischievous, as venomous, as weak, us ridiculous, as it appears in the Republican, it was ten times moro so in tho delivery. We did not hear it, bul wo have heard of it from certain colored people, radicals, too, who are neither fools nor liars. In? deed, wo think Hogo rather disgusted the more sensible portion of the blacks. VniTUB'S RBWABD.-An incident like this comos to the reader like au oasis to tho traveler. It shows that, even in this world, where vice in all its forms PO gene? rally prevails, and even in gay and not over-virtuous Paris, humanity at times displays its finer features. An exchange says: Thc stormy times in France havo yielded a rich harvest to Gabrielle, the beautiful and well-known "newspaper girl," at Paris. She is a handsome young woman, of undisputed virtue, who has established such a reputation that all Parisians and strangers consider it au honor to pay her double price for the papers whioh she sells, and during the riots she received os much as fifty francs per journal from many of the rich young men about town. She has amassed a co? lossal fortune already. DELEGATES TO THE POMOLOOICAL CON? VENTION.-General Hagood, President of tho State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, hos appointed the following delegates to represent this society iu the Pomolog?as! Convention, to meet in Phi? ladelphia on the 15th: Dr. A. P. Wylie, of Chester ; H. W. Ravenel, of Aiken; and B. C. Prossley, of Charleston. We have received the prospectus of Washington College, Virginia, of which General Leo is President. Its Faculty is an able body, and its curriculum is au admirable blending into ono of the classical and mathematical systems of education. One of our exchanges states that in the death of General Rawlins, the Sooth has lost its best friend in Grant's Cabi? net. WarJbad%fi? afflioSTior aotafrUtp* ?astitermina?d in Iiis death, Waehing Jpn,f#hortly aSer 4 o'clock, yesterday af tbrnobn. Gtetferal BavHas ,mj be ?aid to havo exemplified in the circumstances of bis death a trait which is attributed to him a? characteristic-steadiness and faithfulness in the discbarge of doty for lie appears to have continued in the performance of the functions of bis im? portant office of Hec reta ry o f War ?4moat op to the last) day of his existence. His attack was n hemorrhage of the lungs, which ueized bim less than a mouth ago. Hu recovered so that he was able to rido out, and even to resume bia functions ia the War Office, but relapsed. From that time his condition nltcrnutcd betweon the extremes. There are probably few men whose death will be more felt ia the na? ture of personal loss by the President. Qeneral Rawlins was yet a young man. He was born February 13, 1831, in Joe Davies County, Illinois, and there re? sided till he entered tho military service' in 1861. He commeoced lifo humbly, having been originally engaged ia char? coal burning, during wbioh time, how over, ho made the best of all opportuni? ties for procuring au education. In 1853 ho began tho study of tho law in Galena, and ns curly as a year afterwards was admitted to the bar as a copartner with his law instructor. But while con? tinuing the practice of his profession, he manifested some interest in politics also, as ?a Democrat. Ho adhered to Mr. Douglas iu 1860, and as tho candidate for elector in ' the First Congressional District of Illinois, canvassed the Dis? trict in behalf of the Douglass ticket, as was conceded with ability. Having done, in his judgment, all that one in his position could to avert Hie war, when it did come be eagerly deter? mined upon his course, and after thu first battle of Bull Run ho commenced to raise the Forty-tilth or "Lead-mine" re? giment, Illinois infantry, when, in Au? gust, ho received from Qeneral Grant, with whom be had been acquainted from the time of bis settling in Galena, the tender of a position on his staff, which he accepted. General Rawlins joined General Grant on the 15th of September, at Cairo, Illinois, os his assistant adju? tant-general, and was with him from that time iu all his battles and cam? paigns, until the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, at Appomattox Court House, except about two months, when he was absent for tho treatment of a bronchial affection. Commencing as captain, he was in 1862, as chiei of staff, promoted to lieutenant colonel, in 1863 to brigadier-general of volunteers, and in February, 1865, to brevet major-gene? ral of volunteers. March, 3, 1865, he was appointed chief of staff to the lieu tenant-geueral commanding, with the rank of brigadier-general in thc United States army, and was subsequently bre? veted major-general United States nrniy, to rank from March 13, 1S65. In 1866 Congress created thc title of General, which, was bestowed on Lieu? tenant-General Grunt; at tho snmc time General Rawlins was designated as chief of staff to the general commanding tho armies. Shortly after General Grant had entered upon thc Presidential oftine, he nomiuatcd General Rawlins to thc Senate aa Secretary of War, and he was confirmed, relieving General Schofield, who had been discharging tho duties of tho office. Thc relations between the President and General Rawlins were in? timate and confidential, and the former had great faith ir. tho judgment nnd in? telligence of the lutter as n temperate and discreet adviser. General Rawlins, it is stated, had made himself, as chief of uta fl", well acquainted with the recon? struction laws, and with this experience, he devoted himself anew, aa Secretary of War, to the work of reconstruction, aud constantly urged tho conciliatory policy reflected in General Grant's letters and official communications nt the close of tho campaign.-Baltimore Sun. The Mormons, it is reported, aro now discussing the question of tho propriety of abolishing polygamy, and David Smith, the sou of the well-known Joseph Smith, the founder of tho sect, has been denouncing tho practice in his sermons lately delivered at Salt Lako City. Brig? ham Young, the present leader, who professes tp bold power in trust for David Smith, is also reported to have told Mr. Colfax, two years ago, thal lt was not improbable a new revelation might bo received abolishing polygamy. Under these circumstances a change in tho institutions of the Mormons may be expected. The Pacific Railroad has been completed, and tho difficulties expe I rienced ia 1857, ia Beading oat troops and supplies to Utah, will not be in? curred. Polygamy is forbidden by the laws of the United States; the present or future administrations may endeavor to euforce the statute, and the success of tho United States army will bo certain. Again, the Mormons desire to build a railroad from Salt Lake City to Promon? tory Point, the assistance in land grants and bonds from the Government cannot be asked for unless obedience bo pro? mised to the laws. The current of emi? gration is also bringing settlers around Salt Lake and tho isolation of the Mor? mon community cannot be preserved. As far as the dispute in the sect is con? cerned, David Smith is reported to bo 'a man of education and influence, is under thirty years of age, whiie Brigham Young is ignorant, and his powers are on the decline. The influence of tho re? form party, it is supposed, will be very great, and will effect a ohange in the castoras.-Charleston Courier. A STEAM PLOUGH.-The Sumter News says: "We are informed that a steam plough is now on the way from England to Sumter. This plough is worked by two upright engines of forty-horse power aggregate.

DEATH-BED. fi Iq a conversation I bsd with tho late Field Marshal, the Dake of Wellington thor warrior of Waterloo-and having reaa my "Biography of General Presi? dent Harrison," he was pleased to say that he wished such ,a peu would do him justice after his death? iu regard to the only event of his life in which justice had not been done, viz: "It is said that I could have saved the .lifo of the brave Marshal Ney. X could not. I tried. But King Louis XVIII was inexorable." The Duke of Wellington then told me circumstances of proof, which aro now in my manuscript autobiography. In a similar manner lLbrd Byron "wished jus? tice upon one theme, viz: that in regard to his sister, and he besought a friend, to whom he wrote, "not to sutler un? merited censure to rest upon his name after death." To tho Countess GuiocioU, the Countess of Blessington, Viscount Canterbury, (formerly Speaker of tho House of Commons,) tho Count D'Orsay, and tho Cornwall Trelawney, he solemn? ly denied the truth of the imputation, and from those personages I received that denial in solemn conversation. There is, however, another proof more solemn. When a man is assassinated, and in his dying moments he proclaims his murderer, it is proof of the criminal, and all other dyiug confessions are re? ceived with oqunl reverential solemnity. I now transfer the reader to the death? bed of Lord Byron at- Missolongbi, on April 19, A. i>. 1824. There were pre? sent, among others, Count Pietro Gamba, the brother of the Countess Gniccioli; Trelawney, of Cornwall; William Fletch? er, the valet, and Colonel tho Hon. Leicester Stunhope, afterwards the Earl of Harrington. This gentleman honored mo with his friendship to the day of his death, extending over a period from 183A for more than twenty years. I was inti? mate with him and in Im confidence, and often was bis invited guest in London and at Ashburnham House, his country residence. This was tho democratic no? bleman who introduced tho free press in India, and was the patriotie champion, with his friend and democrat Lord By? ron, for the freedom of tho classic land of Marathon and Miltiades, and towards that noble cause advanced from his own purse tho sum of ?16,000 (S80.000.) Within the dying hour of the groat poet, Lord Byron requested all to leave the chamber, except Colonel the Hon. Lei cester Stanhope. The poet then knew that he was dying, and said to his friend, "Stanhope, I wish you to take charge of my dead body to England. See that it is buried iu tho g?-ave of my mother." [Both these dying wishes were fulfilled by the friend.] "Stanhope, I declaro to j you, at this solemn moment, that the former accusation by Lady Byron against mo and my faithful sister was A lie, an odious, damned Mel Upon my soul, a wicked lie! and so defend us when assailed." Col. Stanhope took the hand of this dying friend, and said: "Byron, tho name of Augusta being added to that of Ada at the baptism of your daughter, and at tho request of Lady Byron, ns told me bj* your sister, dispersed that slander forever; but if you would be happier, send your dying de? claration by yonr confidential valet, Fletcher, and order him to see Lady By? ron, with your death denial." "I will do so," said tho dying poet. "Send Fletcher to me. God bless yon, Stanhope. Of all men you I best love. Yon will live to seo tho freedom of this classic land when I shall be no mo Adieu!" With manly tears Col. Stanhope bade adieu to his friend forever, and within half an hour thereafter Fletcher was at the bedside of bis dying master. Then took placo tho oft-repeated broken sen? tences cited by Mrs. Stowe and others, but now explained by tho previous inter? view with Col. Stanhope: "Go to my sister-tell her-go to Lady Byron-you will seo hor, and snj*-" Here his voice failed from exhaustion But had be power, who can doubt but tho dying man would have repeated to his faithful valet what he had already declared to bis faithful '-?end? Requiescat in pace, REPUBLICAN MEETINO AT GADSDEN. At a call from the Republicans of Gads? den, Columbia sent down some twenty or thirty Republicans of that city. These were met at tho train by some two or three hundred citizens. The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rov. Mr, Ancrum. Mr. Allerson Weston was chosen chairman, and P. B. Nowell seo rotary. The chairman introduced the following speakers: Messrs. J. E. Gum, W. B. Nash, S. B. Thompson, A. Good son, N. E. Edwards, J. J. Goodwin, John Gillman, J. B. Goodwin, A. John son, H. Minis, J. R.

The meeting adjourned after five or six hoars' speaking. I Cliarleaton Republican Kentucky promises that ero long our belles shall not have to send to India for cashmore shawls.

V?? had the pleaauro, yesterday, of mootiug and conversing with Goneral W. B. Miles, who hfa j dit retornad from California, tb which ?t?te! he was .ant by ive Immigrant and' Labor Con? vention held at Memphis last July, for the purpose of investigating and report? ing npon Chinese labor, its adaptability to the wants of the South and the prac? ticability of its chop introduction. Gen? eral Miles devoted one month to travel? ing, examining tho country and observing and studying the peoplo and their insti? tution. lu ad vance of his report we can state that tho General confirmed the opinions of all intelligent and impartial persons who have visited California, as to the great value, superiority and cheapness of Chinese labor. An active, sagacious and inquisition gentleman ho made a thorough and minute examina? tion into tho manners, habits and cus? toms of the Chinese. He visited the various establishments in which they aro employed, the woolen factories, tho ma? chine shops, the foundries, tho farms, the mines nnd ou railroads; in fine, in every department of industry and manu? factures, and he fouud in every relation *nd position they were regarded as the cheapest, most reliable and trustworthy laborers in the State. As house feervautft, tliey aro' esteemed \B incomparably superior to all others in their cleanliness, docility and fidelity. Their labor can be obtained at about Diio-third tho rate paid for other labor. Ct is for this reason they are persc mted and oppressed by certain classes in California. These classes, embrac? ing a large number of voters, political aspirants sud party leaders, find it to their interest to sanction the denuncia? tion of the Chinese, but oven these ad? mitted to General Miles that for the Southern plantation there could be no jotter laborers. Geueral Miles assures [is that the Chinese are more than ordi? narily shrewd in making a bargain and taking care of themselves. Though the mission and purposes of General Miles wero seriously interfered arith and discouraged by Boutwell's let? ter to the Collector of New Orleans, he had every assurauco that if proper se? curity bo afforded against any attempts ou tho part of the Government to pre? vent tho introduction of these laborers, the full demand of the South could be ia a few years satisfied, at rates which would render it tho cheapest and best labor in the world, und to tho productive wealth and improvement of our section. [New Orleans Times. A MILD COUPUMENT.-Thc Philadel? phia Inquirer, a radical paper, says: "Since tho surrender at Appomatoi, j South Carolina has given less trouble than nuy ono of the other insurrection? ary States. First in war, sho became first in peace. The ordeal of battle brought sense to the former hair-brained cavaliers. They bent their spears into priming-hooks and their swords into plowshares, abided by tho issue of tho war and did what they never had done before-went to work iike good citizens iud enterprising Americans. And with what result? Tho yield of products in that Stato this year will amount to 830, iX)0,000; or an average of $74.69 per head in a population of G70.000. How ilifferent and much better these results thau those produced by repining about the inevitable. "The other cotton States, though less industrious than South Carolina, have also done well. The yield of the staple this year will Aggregate 3,000,000 of bales, and tho average value of all their crops will amount in money value to SGI per head of population. This is progress in the right direction. Yet tho South can do even better. Freed from the in? cubus of slavery, that fertile and hitherto comparatively barren section of our coun? try will blossom like the rose. There are clements of almost boundless wealth in tho great section that treason tried so hard to make waste forever. With a faithful devotion to the Union, a stern determination to oboy and enforce nil the laws of the land, tho reconstructed States will eutcr upon a career of prosperity equaled only by tho marvelous progress of tho North and West. Our Southern brethren aro bat standing on the thres? hold of their great future-their real de? velopment has only begun. A generation of freedom will set thom fairly on the high road to tho groatuess which they, in common with their sister States, are destined to achieve." An anecdote is told of Frederick tho Great, that just before the battle of Bosbach ho said to one of his generals, who was on very intimate terms with him: "If I lose tho battle I shall retire to Venice, and there practice physic." "Ah," replied the general, "always a murderer, always a murderer!" The radicals, having read or heard that riohes have a corrupting influence, ?re patriotically endeavoring to preserve tho purity of the Government by steal? ing all its money.

Recently, in New York, we called at his Laboratory in Liberty street, and there found this gen? tleman barricaded behind a tremendous pile of boxes, distributing funds to a Sunday School Committee. Oar busi? ness was to seouro an advertisement. He said: "My dear sir, what lathe use of advertising the Plantation Bitters? They sell better now than when I advertised at such enormous expense, and now I have not made a contract for a year. I have all this amount to give to the poor. To satisfy the press, however, who haye always been my friends, I think I will give you a little something to do again, for I have improved the Bitters greatly, and it may be well to have yon let tho people know it." And so he ran on in a happy, cordial, appreciative manner, showing us the wonders of his place and the cords of certificates.
