G^L?MBI?. S. C Satur^?y ?orniaR, Beptember 17,187& Co uuiy Nom lu* Huna . This matter is properly attracting at? tention.- It is time, we submit, for the anti-radical and Reform voters of Rich? land County to decide upon the course to be pursued. There are two tickets now before the public, both radical and both composed of men who are in no sense representative of tho whites and property-holders of the city nnd County. There is, in oar judgment, but one pro? per course to pursue. The peo plo of Richland, opposed to radical misrule, should meet in council and decide upon what may be deemed most advantageous to the publia interests. We hope, there? fore, and we venturo to suggest it, that the Executive Committee of the Reform party will provide for a meeting of dole gates from Richland, to tako into consi deration the best courso that shall bo pursued to advance the interests of Rich laud in tho matter of its County officers. . -? Is rr EMPIBH OB REPUBLIC?-Whatever else in the results of the war in Europe may be uncertain, it ?cenan clear, the baltimore Sun thinks, that the uoity of ?Germany is to socceed the motley group .of independent States, of varions sizes, .whiOh bears the German name. This ?iaa long bepn the aspiration, tho legiti? mate aspiration, of Germauy. For a long time only an idea, it is now nt last seen to be practicable. In a lately pub? lished letter of David Strauss, a distin? guished German Bcholnr, ho traces the progress of this German hope to its ap? proaching fruition. No one will refuse to cononr with tho writer when ho says that German unity is a thing for Ger? many herself to decide upon. Germans have a right, as ho maintains, to remodol the inside of their house as they seo fit. The following appointments have bceu made for Judge Carpenter and General Butler: Orangeburg C.

LEON.-Spurgeon, the famous London preacher, has written a lotter addressed to Napoleon, Emperor of the French, and William, King of Prussia. We quote a portion: Did either of you ever think of what war means? Did you ever seo a man's head smashed, or his bowels ripped open? Why, if you nro made of flesh and blood, the sight of ono poor won mi? ed man, with the blood oozing out of him, will make you feel sick. I dou't like to drown a kitten; I can't bear even to see a rat die, or any animal in pain. But a man! where's your hearts if you can think of broken legs, splintered bones, heads smashed in, braius blowcd out, bowels torn, hearts gushiug with gore, ditches full of blood, and heaps of limbs and carcasses of mangled men? Do yon say my language is disgusting? How much more disgusting must tho things themselves be! And you make them! How would you like to got a mau into your palaco garden and run a carv? ing knife into his bowels, or cut his throat? If you did that, you would de? serve to he hanged; but it would not bo half so bad as killing tens of thousands, and you kuow very well that this is just whut you are going to do. Do you fancy that your drums aud fifes, and l feathers and fineries and pomp, make wholesale murder ono whit the less abominable in tho sight of God? Do not deceive your yourselves; you aro no better than tho cut-throats whom your own laws condemn. Better? why, you are worse, for your murders aro so many. Thiuk, I pray you, for your poor people will have to think, whether you do or no. IH there so little want in the world that you must go trampling on tho harvest with your horses aud men? Is there so little sor? row that you must make widows by the thousand? Is death so old and feeble that you must hunt his game for him, as jackals do for the lion? Do you ima? gine that God made men for you to play with? Aro they only mcaut for toys for you to break? O Kings, a ploughman tells you lhat their souls are as precious in God's sight as yours, thoy suffer as muoh pain when bullets piorce them ns ever you eau do; they have homes, mid mothers, and sisters, aud their deaths will be as much wept over as yours, per? haps more. How can you sit down to eat wheu you have caused war? Does not the blood rise in your throat and choko you? Or are you only devils with crowus on? Creatures who were never suokled nt a woman's breast, and therefore have no human feeling? It will bo hard for you to think of tho blood you have shed when you lie dying, aud harder BUU to bear the heavy hand of God when he shall cast nil murderers into hell. Whichever it is of you that has been the cause of this wicked war, I say you smell of blood; yon ought to bo' more hated than tho common hangman, and instead of being called "His Majesty," you ought to be hooted as a demon. A new post office has been established in Fickens County, named Tugaloo, and Mr. C. L. Hollingsworth appointed post-1 master. A contemporary, noticing tho marriage of a deaf and dumb couple, wittily and gallantly wishes them unspeakable bliss. . ? ri i ? i- ? ? i. i i i - THE PAP AL TKBJMTOBT.-After a rale extending over a period of more than 1,100 years, the day seems at hand when the Pope shall cesse to exercise temporal Eowor, and when Rome ahall on co more ecome the oapi?l of j Italy. Ten years ago, tbe greater part Of the Papal terri? tory revolted and waa annexed to the Government of Victor Emmanuel. In 1859, the Pope's temporalities covered 15,289 squa.ro milos of territory, contain? ing a population of 3,124,668. The re? volt of 1860 took away everything but the civil divisions of Borne and Comarca, Vitorbo, Civita Veocbin, Velletri and Frosiuone-the whole containing 4,599 square milos and a population of 692,106. Geographically, the States of tho Church are bounded on the North by Tuscany, on tho East by Umbr?a and Naples, and on tho South-west by the Mediterranean Sea. Their greatest extent from North to South is about 120 miles, with n breadth varying from eighteen to fifty miles, The coast line measures about 160 miles, aud is in nearly all places low aud ofleu marshy. Although it is broken by unmerous bays, nearly all are so small and shallow that they are totally unfit for harbor purposes. Civilu Vecchia is tho single exception, and even that place possesses but few natural advuutages as a commercial sea-port. It has been, however, since 1860, tho only sea port held by tho Pope, and has served as tho principal means of entrance aud exit to and from Rome. Should tho States of tho Church be nuuoxcd to Italy, tho oldest Government in Europo will bo swept ont of existence. During tho reign of tho Emperor Cou stautiuo the Catholic Church began ac? quiring property in Rome. In 726 tho Popes possessed considerable power and iufiuonce. Elected by the popular vote, they had endeared themsolves to the poople, xvho finally paid them that alle giauco which had been extended to thc Emperors. When, in 741, tho Lombards laid siege to Rome, tho Pontiff, Gregory III. sent an .embassy to Franco, implor? ing tho aid ot Charles Martel. Subse? quently Popo Stephen II obtained the uid of Pepin, who marched an army into Italy, defeated the Lombards and com? pelled their King not only to abandon his design upon Rome, but also to cede to the Pope n great deal of territory, situated principally on the Adriatic. From this time tho Popes became tem? poral sovereigns and their territorial ] possessions were greatly enlarged by Charlemagne after his destruction of thu Lombard monarchy. Ever siuco thu Popes havo been the rulers of Rome and a great part of Italy. Repeatedly driveu from tho city and despoiled of their temporalities, they have always succeed? ed in regaining possession after intervals of war. lu 1860 tho fint what may be called peaceable spoliation took place, nearly all foreign powers advising Pope Pius to acquiesce iu the seizure of the greater part of his dominions. Napo loou III recommended him to volunta? rily give up everything but Rome. Ho indign?t ly rejected this advice, aud re? sponded to tho violence of thc Italian Government by excommunicating Victor Emmanuel. Ho is noa', we suppose, powerless to resist what seems to bo the inevitable result of the present Europenu complications. liitioUAM YOUNG'S LAST SCHEME.-A Salt Lake letter to tho Chicago Tribune says: Brigham aud his Cabinet have gouo South nguiu-it is said by some for a three weeks' trip only. Others say that bo docs not design returning nt all, certainly not till next spring; but, on the contrary, iuteuds to busy himself with founding a new "Zion" in Arizona-a sort of Holy of Holies of Mormonism to whoso sequestered retreats none but! the Simon-pure saints will be admitted. Majori'1. II. Head, Indian Agent under Johnson, was hero not long since, and, after staying awhile, left for the West. Presently caine from thnt direction Gov. McCormick, of Arizona, and there is a whispering of a scheine for consolidating Utah aud Arizona, and getting them ad? mitted into tho Union as thu State (if Arizona. There ceretainly has been consultation over it, but the idea of Blipping polygamous Utah into the American Uuiou under cover of sun? burnt, Apucho-cursed Arizona is too preposterous t > talk about. That Brig? ham is endeavoring to secure a foot-hold in Arizona, however, GOO or 6UU miles from here, to which ho might retreat iu ease of emergency, seems not improbable from bis frequent journeys in that direc? tion of late. A California paper tells tho following story to illustrate tho knack of the Chi? nese to do whatever anybody elso can : "Not far from San Jose a gentleman wanted fourteen houses built. A China? man took the job, and hired an American carpenter to build one of them. While, ho was doing HO, the Celestials laid around and watched every movement he made. As soon us ho finished it the Chinamen discharged him, and erected tho others themselves. When they were done tbe best judges could not tell which was built by tho white mau." Thc .steamer City of Yeddo exploded her boiler at Yeddo, Japan, on August 1st. llev. Edward Barnes, Miss Alida Burnes, Edward D. Barnes, and a num? ber of japanese wore killed. Many others were injured. At Osaca, tho steam-tug Hiogoalso exploded, killing four Japa? nese and injuriug fifteen or twenty. Tho coroner's jury in tho case of the City of Yeddo found gross carelessness on the part of tho engineer. Tho telegraph reports that a politician at Denver was, Saturduy, killed by light? ning, and au exchange commenting upou tho fact says: It is rarely that Provi? dence thus direotly interferes for tho benefit of mankind. UNION.-Tho following is tho result of tho municipal election iu Union: H. L. Goss, Intendant; D. J. Fant, W. D. Humphries, Bonoy Farr, (colored,) Ja I cob Rice, Wardens. -fr' "I ll ll' STATU Aot?o?i/r?BAii So?TJ?rr.- We are indebted to Colonel D.W. Aiken? the activo and energetlo Secretary of the State Agricultural Society, for a number of copies of the ? premium list of the next Fair in Columbia, which we will toke pleasure io famishing to our agricultu? ral friends. The Fair will come off du? ring the second week of November, to wit: on the 9th, 10th and 11th of the month, being tho week after the Fair in Charleston, and two weeks after the Fair in Abbeville It promises to be a splen? did affair, as favoring seasons bnvo se? conded the efforts of the Executive Com? mittee, who have spured no c-flbrt to get up an exhibition which shall do credit to the State. Some $7,000 worth of pre? miums will bo distributed; and every ef? fort has boen made to enlist an interest in behalf of tho enterprise at homo and abroad. Prominent citizens o? other States, including editors of leading jour? nals, have been invited to be present, and responses have been received ex? pressing a great desire to visit the State. Tho expenso of traveling is th? chief ob? stado suggested, but nu appeal to thu liberality of the various railroads would likely induce thom to como to the aid of tho Society, aud encourage tho presence here of intelligent Mrangers, who could do so much to promote immigration from abroad. Our own people we expect to turu out en masse on the occasion. Abbeville, we know, will be fully represented, both among exhibitors and spectators. Our District Fair will only shurpen the appe? tites of both; aud tho excitement and enjoyment of the week here, will only stimulate our friends to new excitement and enjoyment on a wider held and more conspicuous arena. Let our friends all como to tho Abbeville Fair, then go to Charleston if they can, and then to Co lutnbia. Thus they will complete the rounded circle of enjoyment, if the money can be induced to hold out so long. The Secretary informs us that the I prizes awarded at the Inst Fair are now ready for distribution. He says that they aro models of beauty, and artistic j skill.-Abbeville Press and Banner. From the "official statement" of the ? cotton crop of the United States, just i issued by Messrs. Antens & Bourne, of New York, we take tho folio wi ug figures: I Tho total crop for tho year ending Aug. ! 31, 1870, amounts to 3,114,502 baler, j This represents tho produce of niue | States, in all of which then; has been a marked increase over the crop of last year, and iu (Iveof which there has been j au increase when compared with the full crop of tho j'ear ending August, 1808 Tho aggregate for tho year is 854.035 bales more thuu that of the crop 1808-9, and 683.001) bales more than that of the crop 1807-8. Tho grand total of ship? ments for tho year just closed has been 2,178,55!) bales, showing an increase over last year of 725,910 bales. The total of bales taken for home consump? tion during tho year has been 857,181, showing a decrease of 01,570 bales when compared with 1808-9, and of 101,002 when compared with 1867-8. When compared with ante-war years, we hud that the present 3Tenr's crop is larger than that of uuy year preceding 1855-6, with the single exception of 1852-3, which slightly exceeds it. The average crop of thu Ove years between September, 1805, and August, 18(50, amounted to 3,820,515 bales, of which the crop of the present year only falls 705,923 bales short. - Paris is not, after all, to be considered "the last ditch" of French resistance. According to the latest Parisian ?les, the city of Bourges, situated iu the Do partment of the Cher, on n canal con? necting the river of that name with the Loire, is to become the central position of defence in tho event of Paris being I captured. Placed in the very heart of 1 France, and being ut once a great rail- ] way centre and a depot nf the iron manufacture, Bourges was designated by j the law of July 2, 1801, as the foint where a great internal stronghold should bo formed as the last refuge of a defeat? ed army and a still unconquered people. The lirst. step to bo taken toward this wus the concentration there of all the gun foundries and other establishments devoted to the production of munitions of war. In spite of liberal money votes, however, both by the national aud local authorities, tho transformation of Bour? ges into a central arsenal had not com? menced when the war bloke out. But the advantages of its situation as a great rallying point still exist, and in the last' extremity of Franco may still bo taken j advantage of.-Nato York Tim's. SmrwmccK AND LOSS OF LIFE.-We j learn that the steamer Cape Fear, which left this port ou Saturday last, in com- j patty with tho steamer Thorn, for Butti more, both being under the immediate | command of Captain Harrington, was shipwrecked on Monday lust, oil the shoals of Capo Lookout, and that two of her crow were drowned. The Cupo Fear was ono of the steamers which was sunk in tho river below this city during the war, and which was recently raised. [ Wilmington Star. A card has been picked up on Sable Island, bearing tho naroo of Dr. E. Scbreper, Mom ph is, Tennessee, and written in a cramped hand are the words: "We are going down. To Doctor Doo ker." 'Ibo card has been forwarded to the Minister of Marine, Ottawa, and is supposed to bo from some one on board tho ill-fated City of Boston. Several of tho Garde Mobile belonging to wealthy families have disappeared in Paris. These deserters have been de? nounced before military tribunals. Gene? ral Trochu has called ou them to return to their posts or toko the consequences. A short time since a Mr. Knott was tried in au interior couuty of Georgia for a violation of law. Tho verdict of the jury was: "Wo find tho defendant Kuott guilty." Tho judge was nt a loss . whether to sentence or not. DAMAGE TO THE BICE CBOP.-The Sa? vannah Advertiser, of Thursday, the .15th instant, says: "While the marine records have benn anxionsly . watched, and d i easters to shipping upon the sea noted with unusual apprehension, the late North-east storms and consequent high tides, have wrought disaster and created almost equal apprehension among our rice planters along the coast. We are told that an immense amount of damage has already beon received by the new crop, which will suffer to the extent of probably one-fourth from this cause; the effect upon the market beiug seen already by the advanced quotations a largo amount of this staple having been cut which now lies sweating in tho fields."
