HONEST AND PATRIOTIC-BT RESOLU?
TION.-It iiae been unanimously resol vea,
at a meeting in Glassy Mountain Town?
ship, County of Greenville,
"That we do not claim por foot ion for
all the legislation of the present General j
Assembly; we do recognise the fact that
honesty of purpose and tone patriotism
inspire a largo majority of those mom
bats-therefore, we believe them to be
entitled to the confidence of the people."
It ie, therefore, decided by r?solution
that a majority of the present Legisla?
ture are honest and patriotic-why not
have resolved that all are?
The Yorkville Enquirer thinks that,
give radicalism rope and it will hang it?
self soon. Bat wo throw ont the sug?
gestion that to pnll at one end of the
rope would perhaps' hasten the process.
The Union Times freely acknowledges
that tho measures proposed by the meet?
ing of citizens, held at that place, on
sales-day last, have not received that sup?
port from other - section s o' the State
which were necessary to their successful
accomplishment. 1 It adds: "Union,
therefore? will probably take no fur th or
steps in the matter, and here it will
drop."'
PBICE OF COTTON.-The declino of cot?
ton from 85 cents down, is a oause of
griovnnce. In 1867, cotton went from
27 cents in July to 12>? cents in Decem?
ber. The remnant of ' the same crop
wont to 28 and 80 cents, the following
April. In 1868, the market opened nt
28 cents, and in fifteen days went down
to 20, and a good deal sold for less. Tho
Columbus (Ga.) Sun advises Southern
planters, after meeting their obligations,
to hold their crop at 30 cents, though it
expects to see a fall in the New York
market to 24 cents.
We have received from a gentleman at
Pomada, S. C., tho following communi?
cation, dated September 21, 1869. Tho
friends of the Rev. Mr. Boinest, so well
and favorably known as the energetic
President of the Newberry Immigration
Society, will' learn with pain of the loss
he has sustained, and the sympathy of
his friends will be the stronger if, as our
correspondent suggests, his loss was the
result of some ill-will, engendered against
him because of his patriotic efforts to in?
troduce immigrants into the State. The
following is the communication referred
to:
"Our mutual friend, Rev. Mr. Boinest,
reached here this a. m., from Charleston;
and imagine his feelings when informed
by Bachman, at the depot, that his gin
and cow houses were observed on fire,
near daylight, this morning. Three bales
of cotton, in the seed, the seed of two
others, Gullet's gin, thresher and horse
power, wagon, wheat straw, belting, Seo.,
were consumed. Loss not loss than
81,200.
"Mr. Boinest has bcou one of thc
primo movers in the introduction of im-,
migrants, and from this fact his wifo has
frequently expressed her fears of tho
torch.
"How sad 1 We know not what is go?
ing on, or plots laid for rendering us
homeless, when in our beds of rest."
DEAD VS. LIVE ISSUES.-The New
York Express gives some valuable in?
struction to the Democracy on dead
issues. It declares that while many of
Jefferson's measures have become obso?
lete, his cardinal principles still live.
Having buried the dead, our contempo?
rary gives the following summary of
what it regards as the main questions
that should now occupy the publio atten?
tion. "But what are live issues," it
says, "are the inequality of the taxes,
the severity of the taxes-the unwisdom
of the tax legislation, their oppressive,
injurious oharaoter, tho destruction they
have already created to our commerce,
and the damage they have inflicted upon
onr manufacturing interest, in shutting
it out from the markets of the world."
These are things which really concern
the people, and to which they desire
legislators to turn their attention. The
Express tenders to tho Democracy this
significant advice: "The fact is," says
that paper, "we are full of live issues, of
great importance to the country, and tho
quicker we drop all dead ones the better.
There is no use in trying to race with
dead horses. When things die, bury
them, though nevor, never, never bury
great principles, for in them there is
eternal resurrection." True to the letter.
MOB LAW.-The presence of a prosti?
tute becoming objectionable to the peo?
ple of North Kingsville, Ashtabula Coun?
ty, Ohio, tho o thor day, thoy compelled
her and a malo companion to undress,
and then applied to them a coat of tar,
chaff and gravel, and paraded them
around the town, and left them outs ido
its limits. Very virtuous, iudeed, is the
town of North Kingsville!
The Dutch colonists of Batavia aro
said to bo disaffected, and ready to be
annexed either to England or tho United
States. What a pity Mr. Seward has loft
the State Department!

.tjr^iTOgo-?mt 6oQtnrenf3ed by saying
there were two parties at present in Mis?
sissippi, one was known as the "Bitter?
enders," or extremists, the other as the
National Republican Union party. To
the latter he belonged, and from that
?' arty he had received the distinguished
on or ofbfcingplacednt the head of the
ticket, and been chosen their standard
bearer in the'present campaign. The
ono party, led by Tarbell, Ames, Alcorn
? Co., wanted to disfranchise the white
people, while the party he belonged to
were in favor of universal suffrage and
amnesty. Addressing the colored peo?
ple, about 150 of whom were present, he
said he would urge them, in the strong?
est terms, not to be antagonistic to the
Eeople of the South, among whom they
ad been raised. He assured them the
Southern mon loved them, and would
protect them in their rights better than
any stranger could do. He said many
white men who came from the North
were constantly contending that it was
through their efforts tho colored race
had procured its freedom. Such was not
the fact, as Gen. Grant and many other
distinguished soldiers and statesmen had
declared that it was only a circumstance
of war; that it was never intended to
give the colored man his freedom, until
it became a war of necessity; neither was
it intended to give them the right to
vote, until it became a political necessity
in the work of reconstruction. Ho con?
tended that they need not thank the peo?
ple of the North for the right and privi?
leges they enjoyed. He urged them to
beware of the party of which Tarbell,
Gen. Ames, Alcorn Sc Co. are the lead?
ers; but to join their fortunes with true
Southern mon, who would protect them
in their rights. It was only by doing so
that their race could be perpetnated. If
they failed to join those who loved and
really understood them, they would drift
away like the Indian to the frontier of
civilization, and in a few years entirely
disappear. All Ames, Tarbell & Co.
wanted was office; that was all their pre?
tended patriotism consisted of. Aftor
they got ali they wanted, through the
votes of the colored men, they would
torn around and mock at their calamity.
Thby belonged to the proscriptiouists
and would deprivo them of all the rights
if it would servo their purpose. There?
fore, he urged them to sapport those
who would protect them in tbeir rights.
Ho closed his address by calling upon
those assembled to support the men who
were in favor of ponce throughout Mis?
sissippi and thc entire country, and who
were in favor of equal rights to all.
Rest for the Weary.
The Nickerson Honse, in Columbia, S.
C., is too favorably known to tho public,
to need any puffing. The beautiful yard,
the quiet order that prevails, nice, clean
rooms, make it ono of the most desirable
places for weary, tired travelers to rest
at. The fare is good and servants atten?
tive. It is worthy of the name Nickor
son, who has made himself celebrated in
the hotel line-who now has one of the
best and most elegant hotels in Savan?
nah-tho Scroven House. Tho right
man in the Wright place has the Nicker?
son House. Call and see.
AUGUSTA.
Caisar Gurley, an aged and respectable
colored man, who has resided in Colum?
bia for many years, ventilates himself
thusly :
I have no fault against the aristocrati
cal people. I take no claim with any
party, either Republican or Democratic;
my claim is the people at large; it is the
poor that I cling to; my remarks are for
no ill-feeling or ill-will; the great indus?
try is between tho rich and poor man; I
believe the rich man is just as indus?
trious as the laboring man; when the
rich man places his five cents agaiust the
laborer's bono and sinew, let him sharo
with him equal; I say this to my own
people of tho South-not to auy one
who came across Mason and Dixon's liuo.
In regard to the people, I feel that the
peoplo of the South shonld hold office as
well as the people of the North; if you
take into consideration you seo that we
can livo together without ill-feeling or
ill-will. I did not ask tho advice of any
person, but it is just my own feelings; I
am ono who was born and raised in the
South, and I love my people of the South ;
I want the voice of my own peoplo as
well as of thc people that now hold of?
fices; I am not craving riches, but only
wish to God that I was able to assist the
people who now stand in need. I must
say that tho people of the South were
cultivated behind the letters, and the
laborers was cultivated in tho soil, to
make great luxuries for them. Please,
if I givo any offence to the peoplo of
the South at large, I beg them to excuse
me. I thought it proper to hove my
conversation with my own people in the
South-the laborer and the mechanics.
This groat speculation is on the laborer
and mechanic. I hope tho people at
largo will try to put a stop to that specu?
lation. I do this because I have planted
largely myself this year; because I seo
the disadvantage to tho laborer. I have
no more to say, but remain, respectfully
yours, CAESAR GURLY.
COLUMBIA, September 23, 1869.
Rhoades Rankin, of Riploy County,
Ind., was killed near Rolla, Mo., on the
15th, while attempting to get on a train
of ears while in motion. He was a strong
temperance man, bot had lately fallen
from grace, and was under the intlu
euco of liquor at the time tho accident
occurred.
"William Crafts, colored, who kicked
up such an excitement as a fugitive slave
in Boston some years ago, after a long
residoncoiu London, bas returned to this
I country to run for Congress.
We should make nolktt?tfpvto close
tbe Soatbera ports o? the United States,
/or thone States are under tho military
yoke of the Government, and are ready
and anxious to shake off that authority.
Who can tell how far this hatred of ' tiH
North-would take them in case of an op?
portunity like this? We are in posses?
sion of thousands of letters from promi?
nent Southern people, who express a de?
sire for Buch an opportunity as this
presents to declare again their inde?
pendence. Let them suffer and groan
under the brutal oppression which the
Yankees have placed over them, while
we keep our glance concentrated in a
military line stretching from Philadel?
phia to the furthest North.
Making the i nco nt es tab fe assertion
that our grand iron-clads have no equals
in the United States, we would locate
two of them at the mouth of the Dela?
ware, if only out of respect to the fleet
of American iron-clads at Philadelphia.
These two iron-clads, assisted by one
wooden Vessel and three side-wheel
steamers, would make an effective block?
ade of Philadelphia, because there is not
in the American navy anything able to
cope with such a Spanish fleet. That
Sower which strikes first strikes with
oublo effect, and we are to-day in a
place to give the first blow.
To blockade New York effectually we
would employ eight or nine of our ves?
sels of war, namely, ono iron-clad, three
Hide-wheel steamers, and three or four
schooners. This would be a deadly blow
to tho United States, striking it in ita
vitul centre. By such n proceeding wc
could compel the United States, in two
months, to humiliate itself, nnd beg for
peace.
Boston also must be blockaded. It is
tho store-house of European commerce,
and the great city of the Northern re?
public. Another iron-clad, three side
wheel steamers and two or three sloops
would be sufficient to close that port.
* As tho United States has somo navy
yards and arsenals, it wonld bo advisable
to destroy them. With four frigates, two
of them iron-clads, that work could bc
accomplished.
These same vessels, while employed in
blockading tho ports, could prevent any
departure of expeditions for Cnba. The
United States is a nation of bavants,
(boasters,) and nothing is easier than to
learn all their intentions.
It will then be seen, as the Cronista
has shown, that Spain, with twenty
eight of her seventy-one vessels of war,
has a fleet powerful enough to humiliate
this nation, while the remainder of our
vessels could be employed nt home, in
Cuba, and elsewhere among oar posses?
sions.
Making all due allowance for the naval
strength of the United States, what is
there to deter us from beginning a war
against her immediately? The commerce
of Spain might suffer some, we confess;
but that of the United States, which is
immense, would bo utterly ruiued. The
American prose calls for tue acknowledg?
ment of the independence of Cuba, or,
in other words, demands that the admi?
nistration rob Spain of that island. The
public meetings culled to discuss this
subject adopt that principle, and the
Government appears inclined to gratify
these'barbarous people.
They provoke us to war! Then let it
be wari For ourselves, we offer all we
are and all we have, our printing estab?
lishment and its effects, to sustain such
a war, and our persons we offer as volun?
teers. Viva Espa?a, and onward to tear.
A FEMALE ATHLETE WINS Two PHIZES
AND TAKES THE BELT.-A short time ago
a number of the young people io the
neighborhood of Dorchester, Mass., im?
provised a jumping match for a small
parse between Mike Flynn and a you nc
mau named Murphy. In this match,
Murphy was badly worsted; whereupon
his sister Kate, a bright, strong and
sprightly girl of twenty summers, be?
came very indignant, and gave out to
her companions that she could out-jump
Mike Flynn, if her brother could not.
Katie became very earnest in her nssevo
rations, and to satisfy her a match was
made for a purse of $75; and, greatly to
tho surprise of her friends, when the
match came off, she won it. This great?
ly shamed Flynn and his friends, so Miss
Kate was challenged to another contest,
for $200 a side, some days after. The
affair attracted quite a crowd to witness
the sport, not less than 400 people beiug
present.
Kate made her appearance, dressed in
flowing red flannel drawers, a la bloom?
er, with merino shirt, and a pair of pret?
ty gaiters tightly laced to her feet. Mr.
Flynn was dressed nearly in the same
manner. The arrangements being all
completed, tho exercises began, Flynn
leading off with n leap of 10 feet 2 inches.
Katie then took her position, cheered on
by her friends, and made the leap, clear?
ing a distance of 10 feet ?}? inches.
This created great excitement in the
crowd, and nerved up Kate for some?
thing better. The second loap was called
for, when Flynn cleared 10 feet 7 inches.
This was a very long jump, and tho Flynn
party felt greatly encouraged. But Katie
was again introduced, her friends cheer?
ing, and feeling confident that she would
beat. Carefully she placed her little
gaiter-boots on tho line, and straining
every muscle in her well-knit frame,
made the leap, clearing 10 feet 9?? inch?
es. This was too much for her competi?
tor, and amid the plaudits of the wholo
company, Katie retired with her purse
of $400.
An American lady, who has been-mak?
ing an extensive tour of Europe, writes
that in all her journeyings on the conti?
nent she has seen but one "colored per
son," and he belonged to an American
family traveling there.

How M RN BECOME DRUNKARDS.-In
the Probe, published at the Sanitarium
for Inebriates, Media, Pa., some new
facts with regard to the causes of ine?
briety arc noted. One-third of the
whole number of patients in the institu?
tion acquired a tasto for strong drink in
the social circle; the other two-thirds
became drunkards from constitutional
tendencies, inducing insanity iu somo,
and reckless disregard of moral obliga?
tions in others. Of the first class, twen?
ty-two were cured; of the second, or t
eight. Two-thirds of the whole had tue
benefits of Christian and temperance
training, while only twenty-three had
been neglected. From this it would
seem that tho temperance question re
qnrres to be considered in a variety of
aspects, ami that almost every subject
affecting human interests deserves care?
ful attention.
The Florida Indians were in council
last week, near the Big Oy pi ess, for the
purpose of seleoting a chief in tho place
of Tiger Tail, who some time since com?
mitted suicide by hanging himself, and
for the purpose of selecting a delegate
to represent them in the State Legisla?
ture. There aro tho remnants of three
tribes, Seminoles, Tallahassees aud Mic
cosnkies, represented in tho council,
each having an aspirant for the chief
ship; but the Miccosukies are the most
numerous, and it is supposed that tho
chief will bo selected from that tribe.
Tho Tallahassees, who live on the head
waters of Peace creek, have dwindled
down to thirty, all told, six of whom are
warriors; and the Seminoles aro fast
being incorporated with tho Miccosukies.
There aro not moro than 123 warriors,
including all males upwards of sixteen
years of age, now remaining in Florida,
of the once powerful tribes which, for
seven years, defied the authority of tho
United States.
A REPORTING MACHINE.-M. Geusoul,
au ingenious Frenchman, has invented a
"stenographic press." Tho reporter sits
nt something like a key-board of a piano
forte, and by applying his fingers to the
keys, prints the words as they drop from
the lips of the speakes, syllable by sylla?
ble, on a strip of paper which rolls
along underneath. When wo say this, of
course we do not mean that the words
aro printed in letters. The key-board
appears to be divided into throe parts,
of eight keys each. The left side, work?
ed by the four fingers of the left hand,
prints signs whioh represent initial con?
sonants; thc right, worked by the fin?
gers of thc right hand, priuts final con?
sonants; and the middle, acted on by the
two thumbs, print* the medium vowels.
We gathered something like a phonetic
system of what is employed. A few
months' praoticc is sure to enable any
operator to follow the most fluent speak?
er with ease. Wo ought to say that M.
Gensoul's syetem renders it unnec .-ssary
to transcribe the copy. Just as v ith the
phonetic system, if legibly written, tho
compositor can set up the speech in com?
mon type, from the printed slip furnish?
ed by "the machine.
OUR GREAT MEN ARE RAPIDLY PASSING
AWAY.-We well remember going into
the Senate Chamber in the summer of
1850, and there seeing the distinguished
men of the land. There was Seward on
tho extreme Whig right, to his left sat
Clay, two seats farther on Berrien; over I
there was the Senator from Missouri,
Benton. Cass was there, and Jeff. Davis,
Sam. Houston, Rusk, Pearce, Dayton,
Badger, Soule, Butler, Ewing, Clemens,
Bell, Mangain, W. R. King, Phelps, and
Hunter. Webster had jost quitted the
Senate to take the post of Secretary of
State, and Crittenden was in retirement.
Seward is now advanced in years, Hun?
ter may survive for some timo to como,
Jeff. Davis is abroad, where he will pro?
bably die, Soulo is a lunatic, supposed to
have becomo so becauso of the effects
produced by the war, while Badger's
powerful intellect has been for years
clouded. Ewing still lives, though his
influence is gone. The others have left
us to render an account of their steward?
ship before the Eternal. Among this
bright galaxy, there wero few greater in?
tellects than Bell. Ho was a man of con?
servative tendencies, of clear understand?
ing and profound thought. Besides, his
character was spotless. His peers wcro
fow, indeed. And while on this point,
it may be safely said that thero is not a
man in tho Senate house to-day of abili?
ty equal to either of tho distinguished
names wo have mentioned. Fesseuden
was the brightest light of the present
Senate, and he is gone. The Magnus
Apollo is Sumner, who is as unlike tho
great Senators of tweuty years ago, as a
peacock is unlike au eagle. Ho makes
a show of words, a seemingly fine parade;
but there is nothing lofty, grand, or
comprehensive in his mind or character.

Important to Farmin ann Dtntcn In
Freine**., .
Tho following iu regard to tho liabili?
ties of persons bay in g of seffing ffait,
vegetables, and other agricultural pro?
ducta, 'wi th respect to speciul tax as pro?
duce brokers, dealers or peddlers, was
addressed to Assessor Belcher, of Au?
gusta, Ga,, several weeks since, but bas
never been generally published. Assess?
or Belcher submitted the following ques?
tion:
"Under tho . bead of peddler the law
provides that parties traveling on foot
and selling fruits and vegetables shall hot
be taxable. Will this rule apply to a re?
tail dealer, who sells fruits and vegeta?
bles exclusively (not of his own raising)
from a store or stand in excess of $1,000
per annum; or when he sells say 9500
other goods, and over $500 fruits and ve?
getables; or will tho parties be taxable in
either case?"
"Aoting Commissioner Douglass an?
swered that the persons exempted ped?
dling fruits and vegetables were those
first, when the fruits and vegetables are
the products of their own farms or gar?
dens; and second, when traveling on foot.
A person who travels with one or more
horses or mules, peddling vegetables not
the product of bis own farm or garden,
is liablo as a peddler.
"Every person other than one having
paid the special tax as a commercial
broker, or cattle broker, or pedler, or
wholesale or retail dealer, (which is held
to include wholesale and retail liquor
dealers,) whose occupation it is to buy or
sell agricultural or farm products, and
whose annual sales do not exceed $10,000,
is a produce broker. It is not necessary
tbat ho should sell to the amount of
$1,000 per annum, to mako him liable to
special tax. If it is bis occupation, or
any part of his occupation, to keep agri?
cultural or farm products, or to sell thom
in any other way than by peddling them
in the manner above statod, he should be
taxed ns a produce broker, without re?
gard to the amount of his purchases,
however large, and also without regard
to tho amount of his sales, not exceed?
ing $10,000, unless ho has actually paid
special tax as commercial broker, cattlo
broker, wholesale or retail dealer, (in?
cluding liquor dealer,) or pedler.
"It is inferred from your letter that
you do not regard a man who sells pro?
ducts from a store or stand liable as n
produce broker unless his annual sales
amount to over $1,000. This is incor?
rect. A man may bo liablo as a pro?
duce broker oven though ho makes no
sales at all, but makes purchases only.
It will be noticed that produce brokers
nrc not among thoso whose liability to
special tax depends upon whether their
annual business exceeds $1,000 or not.
"A person who sells fruits and vegeta?
bles from a store or stand is liablo as a
produce broker, even though his annual
sales, including sales of all other mer?
chandize, do not exceed $1,000 dollars,
and without regard to whether the fruits
and vegetables are of bis own raising or
not, unless he had actually paid special
tax as a dealer."
AFRICAN VILLAINY FOILED AND PUN?
ISHED.-Ono day last week, a gentleman
living in Limestone County, Alu., was
called from homo on business, to bo ab?
sent two days. About night-fall of the
day of his departure, two travelers
stopped at his houso and asked permis?
sion to remain overnight. The lady ob?
jected, alleging as a reason that her
husband was absent, but, upon beiu'j
assured that the applicants were gentle?
men, finally consented that they should
remain. Late in the night there was a
loud knocking at the door, which aroused
the lady as it did also her guests in an?
other part of the houso. Upon opening
the door she was seized by five masked
men and dragged into the yard, with
evil intent. At this moment the guests,
who had approached the door unper?
ceived, fired, killing two of the assail?
ants, and the other three immediately
fled. Thc corpses, upon unmasking,
were found to be negroes.
THE COTTON CHOP IN MISSISSIPPI.
A private letter from Grenada, Miss.,
dated September 12, says: "Tho cotton

a cotton field of 200 acres last week. It
looked splendid. The cotton is post 1
danger; bettor than any cr ?p since 18G5."

you should use Hagan's Magnolia Balm.
It gives a soft, refined, satin-like tex?

Seo., and adds a tinge of Pearly Bloom to
the plainest features. It brings the
Bloom of Youth to tho fading cheek and

Fashionable City Belle.
In the use of the Magnolia Balm lies
the true secret of Beauty. No Lady need

OUR BOOK TABLE.-We are indebted
to the publishers, Mesara. Harper &
Brothers, for another Thaokerayan re?
publication-two stories under one cover
-"Henry Esmond" and "Lovel, the
Widower," with quaint, illustrations by
the illustrious author, Wm. Makepeace
Thackeray. The scenes of the first story
aro principally laid in Virginia, between
the Potomao and Rappahannock Rivers.
Whilo "Lovel" is peculiarly Englishy.
Price 50 cents.
Wo have also received from tho same
publishers, a copy of the "Countess Gi?
sela," by E. Mnrlitt; translated from tho
German by A. Nahiner. It is very well
written and the plot effectively carried
out. Religious feuds are lightly touched
upon-not enough to mar tho interest
of the work. The price is 85 cents.
Messrs. Duffie Sc Chapman have all of
thc above for sale.
The Man Who Laughs, by Victor Hugo.
From Messrs. Bryan & McCartor we
have received a copy of this remarkable
book by a great writer. Those who have
read "Les Miserables" and the "Toilers
of tho Soa," will be disposed to read
"The Man Who Laughs." This volume
well illustrates that power-that histori?
cal and philosophical love-and those
eccentricities of genius which belong to
Victor Hugo.

fresh; wine'does not cheer; smiles do not
gladden ; musio does not charm, nor can

of it, or it will become seated and con?
firmed, and life will be a barden and ex?
istence a curso. PLANTATION BITTERS
