A General Anti-Radical movement Pro?
posed.
At the anti-radical press conference,
held in this city on the 16th inst., the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
1. Resolved, That thia conference re?
cognizes the legal right of all citizens of
the State, irrespective of color, to suf?
frage.
2. Resolved, That this conference re?
cognizes the logal right of all tho citi?
zens of the State, irrespective of color
or former condition, to office, subject
alone to personal qualification and
fitness.
3. Resolved, That, in the judgment of
this conference, a convention of the peo?
ple of the State, opposed to radicalism
and in favor of good and honest go?
vernment, should be held in tho city of
Colombia, at some convenient time, for
the purpose of nominating a State
ticket, which, while assuring equal and
exact justice to all, will afford some de?
gree of security, prosperity, and good
govermont.
4. Resolved, That this conference re?
spectfully suggest to the people of the
State Wednesday, the 15th of June
ensoing, as a suitable time for holding
said convention.
It will be seen that tho editorial con?
ference undertake neither to make a plat?
form nbr to unmake one. Tho resolutions
express the sense of the conference. It
is believed that they will meet with the
approval of all anti-radicalista in the
State, including Dem?crata and Re?
publicans, whites and blacks-in fine, of
all opposed to the misrule, corruption
and inefficiency of the present regime.
The conference also invito a convention
to be held in this city on the 15th June
next. We have expressed the opinion
that a later period would be wiser, but
for controlling roasons, we believe the
time suggested the proper period, and
hope that the proposition for tho con?
vention, as well as the time selected, may
be regarded acceptable.
As respects the formal acknowledg?
ment of the colored man's status, wt
presume that there can be but one
opinion with wise and progressive men
When in the convention of April, 18G8,
the colored man was recognized as i
member of the body politic, we tool
that ground of which our presont ac
knowledgment is the logical sequence
This acknowledgment we have already
made in these columns, and we an
pleased to find them concurred in by tb?
press conference. It is our manifes
duty to utilize, to recognize and to ele
vute the negro labor as well as the negr<
vote. Wo need the one for our materia
progress and the other to help on ou
piilitirai reforms South Carolina is oe
cupied by two races. Whilst, in ou
judgment, we should by all means en
courage white accessions to our popula
tion by a liberal encouragement o
settlers from Europe and the North, j
is also our policy to adjust with harmon
mid fairness the relations between th
white and black man living within ou
Statu borders.
As a DEMOCRATIC JOURNAL,, we con?u
in the propositions of the conference
and wo do invite and urge in tho ai.
preaching State canvass a generous an
guuerul rally in behalf of good, honet
and economical government in Sout
Carolina. The Augean stables of tb
State absolutely reek with corruptioi
lt ?B our duty to turn the waters in an
to cleanse them ont. And this is tb
duty of our people" and of all our pet
plo without regard to party preference
or ussociatious, and without rcgurd I
race.

coddling thc negroes."
TH? Slain Point.
A great deal haa of late been said by
some of our State exchanges, on the
subject of parties and party movements.
And we, too, have bad the floor. Lot ns
not forget that, alter all, material pro?
gress is the main point. Power comes
of wealth-especially ia these times.
Politics cannot originate power so muoh
as it can give it direction. We require
in South Carolina the increase of our
population, tho augmentation of our
capital, the putting forth of oar work?
ing enorgies and the amplest develop?
ment of oar resources. Political move?
ments have their important and useful
work, bat the more profound agencies
whereby the foundations of power and
influence are established, should be kept
prominently before us. We shall en?
deavor not to forget the lesson' we teach.
If immigration is to bo made the chief
agency by which South Carolina is to be
restored to ber pristine prosperity-and
we apprehend that there are not many
who will dissent from this view-would
it not bo well for her citizens to place
this subject in a more prominent and
tangible shape, so that every ono who is
at all interested in the welfare of the
State, might contribute, with whatever
ability they may possess, to the accom?
plishment of this desideratum? If it is
of major importance to acquire popula?
tion by immigration, we are satisfied
that this can be consummated, if not by
voluntary acoessious to our numbors,
then, at least, by holding oat such rare
inducements to emigrants as cannot fail
to be successful. To this end, thon, wc
would suggest that the State Agricultu?
ral and Mechanical Society take hold of
this subject and arrange all prelimina?
ries, so that tho ball, which has been so
auspiciously set in motion, may bo kept
rolling. We are of tba opinion that this
is a good plan to attain the objoct in
view; if, however, there oro others still
botter, we should be glad "to hear tho
other side." Meanwhilo, we may bo
permitted to indulge in the hopo that
South Carolina may, by this agency, be
enabled ero long to far outstrip hor
sister States in enterprise, thrift nnd tho
acquirement of a substantial popula?
tion.
BALLOON ASCENSION.-Mr. King, the
oronaut, has obtaiuod the permission of
authorities to havo a balloon ascension
within the limits of the city, and will
have one at an early day.

Would not this distinguished scronaut
be prevailed upon to givo our citizens
an insight into the modus operandi of
going "up in a balloon?"

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR RIDGEWAY.
We regret to learn, through a private
lotter, that between tho hours of 12 and
1, on the morning of the 15th, the barn,
stable and other out-houses, belonging
to Mr. Howell Edmunds, near Ridgeway,
were totally destroyed by fire, together
with 200 bushels of corn. Peas, fodder,
wheat, straw, ploughs, harness, bridles,
and everything, in fact, he had for car?
rying on his farm, wero consumed. The
owners of the premises were aroused,
but too late to effect anything as the
flames had made rapid headway. It was
with difficulty, tho horses and mules
wero saved. Tho barn was a double ono
and cost 8500. The loss is estimated at
not less than $2,500. It waa the work
of an incendiary. - Winnshoro News.
GREAT SPOTS ON THE SUN.-Tho
astronomers are just now turning their
glasses in the direction of the sun, that
luminary having lately broken out in a
perfeot rash of spots, some of them of
enormous size. No less than eight
groups of spots aro visible, and the
largest single spot covers a snperfioial
area of not less than 1,458,000,000 of
square miles, or seven times the superfi
ces of the terraqueous globe.
TOWN ELECTION.-An election was
held on Monday last for Intendant and
Wardens of tho town of Walhalla, with
tho following result:
Intendant-John Ansel.
Wardens-W. M. Wooden, H. C.
Rochau, A. Taylor and A. Brenecko.
There was a tie for the two remaining
Wardens, which will necessitate a new
electiou. - Neo wee Courier.
We must reiterate our conviction that
our contemporary, tho Marion Star, has
done the anti-radical members of the
Legislature u grievous, though doubtful,
an unintentional wrong, in including
them iu the category of those who sold
their votes. Careful inquiry has only
sorved to confirm our coufidenco in the
patriotism and integrity of tho gentle?
men referred to.-Charleston News.
-SfieoHfN? DK.YTH-OF A LITTLE GIRL.
A little daughter of Jacob Miller, resid?
ing at Osborne, Ohio, was seDt to a

dogs und torn limb from limb. Hel?
enes brought assistance, but not in time
to suvo her from a terrible death.
To make little boys trowsers last, you

Women are said to have stronger at?
tachment than men. It is evinced in
little things. A man is often attached
to an old bat; but did you ovor know of
a woman having an attachment for an
old bonnet.
Beautiral Tribute to tb? South.
The following beautiful tribute to the
Sooth is from the Baltimore Episcopal
Methodist:
And yet, amidst all this desolation
and rain, did the world ever see any?
thing like tho uncomplaining dignity
with which the Booth has borne a
hideous vivisection that left it at the
time but a ghastly semblance of life? We
oonfess that Dot all the magnificent valor
that won her thousand victories, not the
fiery onset of Jackson's Scotch-Irish, nor
the superb composure with which di?
rected tho advancing fido of battle, or
covered the slow and sullen retreat, has
ever so electrified and melted our whole
souls as tho sublime fortitude with
which tho South has borno tho most
unspeakable woes.
"The Niobe of nations there she stands.
Childless and orownloss in hor voiceless
woe,
An empty nm within her withered hands,
>Vho80 holy dust was scattered long ago."
Nor is this all. The Virginia thus
treated, the "Lona Mother of Dead Em?
pires," is also the mother of that Union
from whioh sho has been kept out like a
leper, and only admitted now ander the
most tyrannical and exasperating candi
lions.
The corner-stone of this grand consti?
tutional fabric was laid by the baud of
tho giant who now stands ut the thres?
hold of the temple, his hair shorn, his
eyes put out, and for the present, making
sport for the Philistines. It is Virginia,
that proud old colony, whioh having no
quarrel of her own with the King of
England, yet took up, from generous
sympathy, the cause of Massachusetts;
Virginia, but for whoso Washington, the
revolutionary war would have been a
disastrous failure; whose Jefferson wrote
the declaration of independence; whose
Patrick Henry roused the nation to arms
with bis eloquence; whose Marshall was
tho glory of American jurisprudence;
whose Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tay?
lor, adorned the oxecutivo ohair; whose
Winfield Scott and Rough and Ready
were tho leading military figures of the
Mexican war; with troops of her valor?
ous sons in the war of 1812; whose
statesmen have illustrated tho councils
as have her soldiers the camps of the
republic-this is the good old common?
wealth which for five long years has been
ground to tho earth under tho heel of
negro and military vassalage, and is now
ouly permitted to cuter the edifice which
she made by her own bauds, nnd adorn .
cd the immortalized by her genius and
virtue, from its foundation to its pinna?
cle, as a captive and a ?lave.
INHARMONIOUS RESPONSES.-Tho Co?
lumbia Phoenix and the Mobile Register
respond to our suggestions in regard to
tho true policy to bo pursued by tho
South, but in very different temper. The
former frankly declares its acceptance of
the political situation, and desires to
unite with the good men o{ all sections
in maintaining aud guarding tho liber?
ties and industrial interests of all classes.
It says: "Wo are disposed to temper
with moderation our political and social
intercourse with the North, and to real?
ize tho sense of a common destiny."
Thereupon tho Phoenix calls upon us to
recognize ex-rebels as oar peers, and not
subordinate them to the blacks. To all
this wo reply, that our South Caroliua
contemporary has read these columns to
very little purpose, if it is not aware
thnt we have steadily urged upon the
North the policy now tardily suggested
by our contemporary. Still we can
overlook the omission in view of tho ad?
mirable temper of conciliation which it I
now evinces. It is in marked contrast
with that displayed by the Mobilo Regis?
ter, which treats our suggestions as med?
dlesome and officious. It goes into a ti?
rade of reproach and defiance identical
with that which it indulged in before and
during tho war. It scornfully rejects all
proffered magnanimity and amnesty by
the North as coming five years too late,
auu likens it to a reprieve after the vic?
tim has beeu strangled on the scaffold.
With all duo respect to the Register, we
beg leave to suggest that it is foolishly
tenacious of its ancient venom, and that
it can accomplish nothing by thus cling?
ing to dead and buried issues. Wo shall
accept tho Columbia Pheenix as a far
more reliablo exponent of Southern sen?
timent than the Register.
[Ncio York Times.
IMMIGRATION.-We learn from the S?d?
liche Correspondent, of yesterday, that the
veteran Capt. F. Balleer, of Bremen,
was in our city a few days ago. Tho ob?
ject of his visit at this time, it is under?
stood, was with a view to making ar?
rangements for a line of packets or
steamers between Charleston and Bre?
men, and thus re-open the tide of immi?
gration, interrupted since the denth of
tho lamented Wieling. Capt. F. Balleer
is well remembered by our older German
citizens as the predecessor of Capt. Wiet
ing in tho transportation of emigrants
from North Germany to this port. Mr.
M. H. Kappelmann, of this city, is the
agent for this new euterpriso, which, wo
need not say, has our heartfelt wishes for
its success.-Charleston Courier.
A trial in an English Court is thus de?
scribed by a Chinaman: "Ono man is
quito silout, another talks all tho time,
and twelvo mon condemn the man who
has not said a word."
The road ambition travels is too nar*
row for friendship, too crooked for love,
too rugged for honesty, aud too dark for
conscience
Abbeville has been added to the
Eighth Judicial Circuit, Judge Orr's;
and Edgefield to tho Fifth, Judge Mel?
ton's.
Tho Fiske concroto pavement in New
York is a failure. A largo number of
laborers aro engaged on Fifth avenue
tearing it up.
Tho late frosts aro said to have killed

Flo.
Wa MUST WORK.-The Charleston
Courier says:
"What we desire is the redemption
?nd salvation of the State. This can
only be accomplished by unity."
To whioh tho Columbia Phoenix says:
"Wo agree with the Courier, that
'unity' is important. Bnt there is yet
another thing far more important still.
This is energy, enth usiasm and work dur?
ing the canvass and upon election day."
We most heartily agree with you, gen?
tlemen. We may hold conventions, dis?
cuss party policy, change of party
names, and any thing else for the great
aim of rescuing the State from its pre?
sent corrupt and malignant rule, but
withont unity of action, energy, enthu?
siasm and WORK, there is no hope for
ns. Our opponents aro alreudy orga?
nized; their line of policy is marked
out, and tho 200 men who have been
working in the oapitol at $6 a day aro
DOW scattered all over the State, with
nothing to do from now until election
day, but to work for their party, under
tho leadership of Governor Scott.
Yes, they are now hard at work for the
Ootober election. We saw them in our
Btreets on Monday, button-holding every
colored voter, and re-organizing them
into the party ranks. So far as Union
County is concerned, wo aro all safe, if
our people will work /.loudly and in
unity. We can, if wo will, carry this
County next fall by a handsome majori?
ty, and if the honest people will not |
work for suoh a boon, they deserve to be j
kept under the iron heels of corruption
and malice all their lives. Tho man who
will not work now to redeem the State,
aids corruption and fraud in our State
government. - Union IHmes.
"POOR BELL,"-A CHICAGO Gcsn.
Under the melancholy and intonsoly ro?
mantic nomme de plume of "Waltoo," a
young man writes thus from Nashville
to the Chicago Tribune: "You will re?
member that some time last summer,
John Bell, of Bell and Evcrott Presi?
dential ticket fame, died ut his home, an
obscure landing on tho Cumberland
River, half-way between Nashville and
tho Ohio. Tho remains wore brought
to Nashville and placed iu state at the
Capitol. On a pleasant Sabbath after?
noon, there were funeral services in the
Hall of Representatives, and then
cavalcade was formed and escorted tho !
dead statesman to his lust resting-place
iu Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Tho United
States military post band played on the
occasion aud tooted vigorously at the
head of tho procession. Tho leader of
thc band had no iden of doing his ser?
vices for nothing, und so, a few days
ago, after vain iuquiry as to who was
responsible for the expenses of tho dis?
play, sued the Governor for a round bill.
He hasn't paid it. This is decidedly
outside the palo of sublimity or solem?
nity. Poor Bell was a great man in the
eyes of many, and did, doubtless, pos?
sess talents of no ordinary kind, and it
is a pity that his last years should have
boen oppressed by poverty, and thot
there should bo .actually quarrelling
about his funeral expenses."
A preacher residing near Ghent, Ky.
a few days since left his wife and several
children and ran away to Indiana with
another man's wife. This has been a
terrible hard year on preachers-so it
has.

MARSHAL NE?AOAIN.-We have been
kindly furnished by a gentleman of this
city with three copien of papers contain?
ing a lengthy account of this distin?
guished officer's career in this country,
after bis exit from France, and as an
article published some time ago iu our
papor and copied by tho press through?
out this Stute aud elsewhere, excited
considerable interest, we condenso from
these papers a few inoidouts conuected
with the lifo of this remarkable mau,
which go to establish more fully the fact
of his identity. The correspondent,
who signs himself "Eastern Orango," in
the papers above alluded to, thus writes:
"Wheu I came from Alabama to Davie
County, N. C., in 1829, there was a mys?
terious person teaching school near
Mocksville, iu that County, cnlling him?
self Peter Stewart Ney. He was re?
garded by tho literary and everybody
else as a finished geutlcmau and scholar.
He seemed to be perfectly at home in
any brunch of science known in that
day. He seemed to understand well the
Scotch, French. Italian, English, Latin,
Greek, Hebrow, Russian nud Polish
languages. He snid he could read, write
and converse in all of them. He wus
frequently put to the tesl in at least some
of them, as Latin, Greek. French,
Scotch and Hebrew. He was acknow?
ledged, by those who professed to un?
derstand the Hebrew, to bo a superior
Hebraist.
"Mr. Ney taught in other places. At
Mr. PlaBebo Houston's, in Iredell, the
Houstons, Youngs nud others, tho most
wealthy sud respectable citizens of Iredell
County, were his pupils; a part of them aro
still living. He also taught in Asheville,
Buncombe County, N. C. In that place,
the Pattens aud others, of Buncombe,
and Mr. Lloyd Jones, of Caldwell, were
among his pupils, and never, till memo?
ry fails, will they forget Poter S. Ney.
"Mr. Ney was a man about fivo feet
ten inches high, heavily set aud com?
pactly built; he weighed about 170 or
18U pounds, and was of extraordinary
muscular development. Ho had every
appearance of a huge, rough Scottish
Highlander, of symmetrical proportions,
well adapted to energy and endurance;
qualities which Mr. Noy possessed in a
high degree. He was more adapted to
Herculean strength than to agility. His
back was straight, shoulders broad and
a little stooped; head well balanced, tho
top bald, the book and sides of the head
covered with hair once auburn, but then
a little silvered; his nose was straight
and very large, with a massive end; his
mouth large and broad, lips firm, the
under apparently n little thicker than
the upper; complexion florid, face full
und pitted with smnll-pox, countenance
a little down, but stern, thoughtful and
intelligent; his eyes not largo, but rather
brilliant, Indicating a strong perceptive
and penetrative intellect.
"One evening, Mr. Ney received a
letter from France informing him of tho
dcuth of his wife, and also of the death
of some influential Frenchman, whose
name I do not now remember, through
whoso influence. Mr. Ney said he still
hoped to be restored to France. Upon
receiving this information, Mr. Ney be
camo wild, frantic and almost ungo?
vernable. He wept like a whipped
child, and the large tears found their
way rapidly down his pale cheek, and
his wallinga were terrible. While he
was in that condition, ho attempted
suicide, and did many things to excite
the fears of the family. He could not
be trusted alone. While he was in this
state of mind, tho writer, with several
others whom I might name, spent a
night with him. I never eau forget that
night. Ho raved of France, Napoleon,
his wife and family, Moskwa, Waterloo,
&c. ; called for Phesinac, issued his com?
mands, sketched his past history, gave
an account of his birth, connection with
the family of the Stewarts and his rela?
tion to the Buonapartes. He told us
how he came to bo such a favorite with
Napoleon, how he arose to bo one of
Napoleon's cabinet and marshals, and
how he came to be Prince of Moskwa,
and how ho reached tho climax of his
glory. He told us of the consultations
of Napoleon and his cabinet that plan?
ned tho battle of Waterloo. While he
re-fought, that night, that ever-memora?
ble battle, one could fancy ho saw the
Lion of Naples, (Napoleon,) with his
gleaming legions, rushing heroand there
to battle; that he could see the intrepid
Ney, ou foot, flying aloug the lines,
braving his men to tho slaughter; that
he could hear tho roaring infantry, tho
pealing artillery and tho clashing steel
in tho mortal combat; that he could feel
the ground tremble almost to an earth?
quake beneath tho mighty tread of the
charging cavalry; that he could hear the
shrieks of tho wounded and dying aud
seo the thousands slain. Mr. Ney then
showed the wounds, or rather sears,
where he was wounded at Waterloo and
elsewhere-wounds of precisely the kind
and locality recorded in history; one
was a sabre-wound on tho head over the
organ of mirthfulness, whifk laid him
for dead on the battle field.
"Bot how came he here in America?
History says he was shot to death in
France. Mr. Ney's explanation is about
this, io ar; fow words as I ono give it: Ho
was caught, tried and condemned to bo
shot. Th oso who were to execute him
wero bribed by his friends-blanks were
fired, Ney himself giving tho command.
Wheu tho guns fired, Ney fell, was pro?
nounced dead, pat into a carriage and
convoyed away, no was concealed and
helped oil'to the United States, where he
bad previously made np his mind to go. A
coffin was buried, and tho grave guarded
by his friends nuder pretonco that somo
DUO might disinter him for e.c.e. reason or
mother. 'France,' said Ney, 'believes
Lo this day that I was buried.'"
The above correspondence, written by
? high-minded and honorable gentle
man, in entitled to the oredenee ot the
community. Each one eau draw his own
inference from this subject. Of those,
however, who are still skeptical, we may
bo permitted to ask, that if the above
described persouage was not Marshal
Ney, who was he?
CRUMBS.-"Spring has set in with its
usual inclemency," eaid Tom Hood, in
a vernal letter to one of his friends, and
the remark is quito apropos in this lati?
tude now. After au almost spring-like
winter, March has introduced us to a
decidedly winter-liko spring. It is lite- {
rally "winter lingering in tho lap of'.
Hpring." Seriously, tho presont weather
is certainly remarkable for this climate,
to say the least. Think of ice half an
inch thick on the 17th of March, and
that, too, in tho "sunny South!"
Mr. R. M. Stokes, the oditor and pro?
prietor of the Unionville Times, is on a
visit to our city in the interest of his
paper. As this is a good medium for
persons wishing to advertise, together
with the fact that Mr. S. was a former
resident of this city, wo havo no doubt
that he will obtain a liberal shnro of the
patronage of this community. The
Times is now printed iu a neat style, on
now type, and has been greatly improved
since it came into tho hands of Mr.
Stokes.
The interesting notice concerning
Marshal Ney, we extracted from baok
numbers of tho Christian Neighbor
which paper, we learn, is to be enlarged
after its next issue, and will enter upon
its third year with increased vigor. We
aro glad to note this cvidenco of the
prosperity of our Neighbor friend, and
trust that its career of usefulness may
be prolonged and steadfast.

A FEMALE REGULATOR.-Woman and her
needs. For complaints and irregularities to
which hor sex is exclusively liablo, HEINITSU'S
QUEEN'S DELIOH I is recommended on the au?
thority of wives, mothers and nurses, who havo
tosted ita tonic and regulating properties, and
' know whereof thoy speak;" and also with the
sanction of ablo physicians, who havo admi?
nistered the QUEEN'S DELIOUT to their female
patients, in obstiuato cases, with the happiest
results. Almost all female complaints are
complicated with mental gloom and despon?
dency, the gent?o and lasting exhilarating
effects of tho QUEEN'S DELIOUT is admirably
adapted to such casca. As a remedy for hys?
teria and mental depression, it has no equal
in tho world. Nursing mothers find it au ad?
mirable invigorant. It is highly satisfactory
that thia preparation thould prove so emi?
nently boneiicial to t bo sex. Young and old
will find relief alwaya. For sale by FISUKB A

KOSKOO.-Tho Norfolk Daily Journal, of
December li, 1869, says:
"This medicine is rapidly gaining conti
denco of the people, and tho numerous testi?
monials of its virtues, given by practitioners of
medicino, loaves no doubt that it is a eafo and
reliable remedy for IMPURITY OK TUE BLOOD,
LIVER DISEASE, AC."
Tho la-t Me Heal Journal contains an arti
elo from Prof. R. S. Newton, M. D., President
of tho E Mcdi-Collogo, city of Now York, tnat
speaks in high terms of its curative proper?
ties, and gives a epecial recommendation of
Koskoo to tho practitioners of medicine.
This is, wo believe, tho iirat instance where
such medicines havo been officially endorsed
hy tho Faculty of any of tho Medical Collegee,
and roQccts great credit upon the skill of Dr.
Lawrence, ita compounder, and also puta
"Koskoo" in tho VAN of all other medicines
of tho present day. F2G
