COLUMBIA, S. C. For President of the Untied States. HORJVOB QRBELRT. or New York. For vice-President B. GR\TZ BiiOWN, of ntiioarl. Mo?ci Means the Ring. There is no sort of question but that the ro-eleotion of Moses is a renewal of the lease of the State to the corrupt ring vrh ioh has ruled it for the past four yosrs. Every member of the old ring, with the exception, perhaps, of Scott who hus expressed no-preference so far as we have heard-ia stoutly in favor of MOBOB. lu short, all of the rasouls who have been chiefly instrumental in plun? dering the State have Bided with Moses. If Moses is eleoted, wo venture the prediction, that despite the platform adopted, a heavy tax will be levied this fall to pay the interest ou the public debt; and, furthermore, that Blue Ridge Barip, amounting to nearly $2,000,000, wm be fastened as a debt upon the State. It is well for our white people to reflect upon this matter, and determine whether they should take suoh risks by refusing to support the Bolters. We will never oeiiso to regret it, if, through oar de? fault, Moses is eleoted. The taxation of the past four years will be nothing to compare with what we shall be forced to endure for the next two. Revolution or ruin will stare ns in the face. Tho Bolters cannot, if they are eleot? ed, favor any of these rascally echemos. They dare not do it if they would, for they will be partly oura; they will be indebt? ed to the white people, in a great mea? sure, for their election, and are bound to be influenced by them in the administra? tion of the government-so far, ut least, as the finances are concerned. .A he Elections". Up to the hour of-this writing, our accounts of the elections in Pennsylva? nia, Ohio and Indiana are discouraging. If all three of these States are lost to the Liberals and Democrats, there is but lit? tle if any hope left for the Presidential race, and the South will have to prepare for four years more of Grantiam and military oppression. We still have hopes, however, that matters are not so bad as appearances now indicate. It seems almost incredible that Pennsylva? nia could have eleoted such a man as Hartranft for Governor over the pure and spotless Buokalew, and we had every reason to hope for better things from Indiana. We will wait, at leaBt, for the "count ont" before growing lugubrious. HONORS TO A SOUTH CAROLINIAN.- Two students of the University of Virginia of the past session, Mr. Frank P. Don? nington, of Baltimore, and Mr. J. B. Adger, of South Carolina, have had the honor of favorable mention in the pro? ceedings of the Boyal Society of Great Britain, in connection with an analysis made by them, nuder Prof. Mallet's di? rection, in the chemical laboratories of meteoric genus which fell in AuguBta County, Virginia. Other original inves? tigations, by the tame two yoong gen? tlemen, were made before the British Association for the Advancement of Science, at its lost annual meeting in July. 3 r ft-?^?? Pittsfield, Massachusetts, bas just dedioated 11 very flue soldierV monument. And one of the striking things about the occasion was the fact that after General Batlow, Chairman of tho Executive) Com? mittee, cordially .welcomed M.*. Loan des, an officer from South Carolina, whom he had seen gallantly fighting in Confede? rate gray. That is the handsome, the patriotic and the truly Christian thing to do. As we cannot hang or shoot everybody who had a hand in the re? bellion, it is the part of policy, no less than of Christian duty, to remember that they are Americans, and treat them os brethren. BUNNING ITQB THE L?GISLATURE -Tho Wilmington (ti. C.) Star, of yesterday, says: "An intelligent and worthy colored man, by the name of Adam BrowD, who has been in the habit of purchasing pa? pers at our office for anio on the rail? roads, informed us, yesterday, that one of his colored employees, who has been selling papers for him in South Carolina for some time past, deserted* him a few days since, and is now among tho promi? nent candidates for tho -Legislature. Adan? says he wouldn't mind the fellow's leaving him if he would pay him for tho last batch of papera he sold." The first speech ever made by a co? lored lawyer in the criminal courts of Washington was made on Thursday by Charles M. Thomas, a recent graduate of Howard University, iu defence of George M. Jenkins, also colored, who is on trial for killing his wife with a cleaver some mouths since. Mr. Tho? mas, says a Washington correspondent, meets with no oppositiou whatever from the white members of tho bar, many of whom congratulated him on the distinct? ness and merit of his argument.

Moragne, Esq., of the neighborhood of Bordeaux, was consumed by fire on Saturday even? ing last, together with four bales of cot? ton, and thirty or forty bushels of oats. The hands were engaged in ginning nt the time, and the fire is supposed to have originated from a match which was acci? dentally ignited, or from the friction of the gin. The flames extended so rapidly that it was impossible to control them and save thu house. . It was with the greatest difficulty that the horses em? ployed in ginning were rescued. [Abbeville Banner. AN OUTRAGE.- OnSaturduy night, the 5th instant, some reckless miscreant tired a load of dock shot through the open door of W. B. Murray's store, near Stateburg, in this County, while it was thronged with customers, engaged rn tradiug. A white mau, Mr. A. G. Baker, and a negro woman, were wounded by the shot, and several other persons made very narrow escapes. Mr. Murray cannot divine tho motive that prompted so atrocious au act. Ho says that his lot was fired two days before this occurrence and that he has been apprized by some friend that threats have been made to repeat the attempt to destroy bis pro? perty.- Sumter Neme. CROPS.-The cotton crop seems to be turning out better generally than wau anticipated a few weeks since, und thu farmers seem to bo availing themselves of the favorable weather for gathering it in. Our cotton-buyers inform us that the staple was never better, and so far, scarcely any inferior cotton bat? been brongbt to market. Prospects have been brightening np during the past week, and with an average crop, we may anticipate a little relaxation in the money market. The crops of oom seem to be generally good.-Abbeville Banner. Violet ink is very appropriate for the use of those deluded beings who are en? gaged in writing love letters to each other, bot for commercial purposes it bas a defect. A San Francisco broker filled up some certificates of stock with this uncertain fluid some time ago, and placed them in a window. One sun? shiny afternoon he found that every trace of numbers, dates, etc , had beeu obliterated by the light. For love let? ters, wa remark again, this would ba no objection. . There was a curious instance of tam? pering with a witness and tho results thereof in a recent mnrder cuan in Ken? tucky. A man named Roberts was ac? cused of killing one Coates, and wus committed for trial without bail on the testimony of a sister of the deceased. After indictment Roberts was released on bail, and immediately commenced to pay his addresses to the dangerous wit? ness, and before the trial came on had married hor. He was acqaittod for want of evidence. A large oavo has been discovered on the furm of Col. George McDonald, in Bototont County, Virginia, about seven milos from Finoastle, which is repre? sented to be equal in attractions to Woyer's cave in Augusta. The rooms are largo, and are filled with beautiful stalactites, curiosities, &o. SERIOUSLY IM,.-The numerous friends and admirers in this city of the charming petite actress, Mrs. James A. Catos, will learn with,regrot of her s?ri? ions illness at Cleveland, Ohio. Her condition, At last accounts, was consi? dered precarious. * A TERRIBLE TORNADO.-Walker Coun? ty bas boou the eoene of probably the severest tornado that ever swept through Georgia. On last Sunday evening, it was possi? ble on Saturday eveniog, a densely heavy oloud uame up aud lowered over Eist Armuehoo between Subligna and Villanow. The oloud was broidered and fretted with incessant flashes of light? ning, that leaped and lingered in livid play on its dark body. Suddenly, and without auy premonition, a bowling wind storm swept ovor the country, shrieking like u thousand fiends, buffet ting grown ?rees on its burly bosom as if thoy wero feathers, nod sweeping houses from their foundation with u single brentn. It extended over a space about a half mile wide, and destroyed every? thing in its course. Where it swept througli a forest its track eau be followed as plainly as if a corps of eugiueors had with their axes leveled thu trees. Not a tree is left standing in its track. Several dwelling houses wore blown down and utterly destroyed. Among others our ?nformauts knew positively of Mr. Jones Richardson, Mr. Piockuey Tato, Mr. Touey Hart and Mr. Moore's. Mr. Moore's wife was standing in tho dour wheu the wind came aud wus blown out of the house, out of tho yard and into the (publio road, where fortunately be? hind the shelter of a point of a hill she recovered herself. Mr. Geo. Epoy'a house was also destroyed. Mr. Bomur had a fine orohard of apple trees which were twisted from their places and sent whirling, the Lord only knows where. The cotton fields that lay io the zone over which the cyclone swept are ren? dered absolutely worthless, and the toss occasioned by it may be estimated at thousands. Where it came from aud where it went no one knows aud no one cares. It utterly devastated one of thu fairest valleys in Georgia. It is reported that Sugar Valley had a visit from this terrible fiend. We sympathize with our friends who have suffered. Messrs. J. W. Davis and Wardlaw were our in? formers, aud they were direot from the scene of the disaster. [Home Coinmercial, October 2. At Bayonne, New Jersey, on Friday morning, au explosion of nitro-glycerine occurred on the Central Railroad, where some caboose laborers had been at work track-building. The glyc?rine waa ap? plied for an experimental blast. The quarrymen were ensconced behind bould? ers. After the blast, Patrick McFlyuu, who was not more thau forty feet dis? tant, was found horribly mangled, with his right arm torn off by n pieoe of rock. Another laborer, struck in the bowels, is in a dying condition; and auother lifted iuto the air is dangerously hurt. A resi? dence 200 feet distant, had its roof orushed through by u boulder weighing 1,000 pounds. DEMOCRATIC MEETING.-lu responso to the call of Major T. B. Fraser, Chair? man of tho Democratic Committee for Sumter County, a mooting was held in thu Court House here ou salo-day. The mealing refused to endorse either of the Radical tickets now before the people, but decided to leave it entirely discre? tionary with individual members of the Democracy to vote for whatever candi? dates they think proper to support. It was deemed inexpedient to make a De? mocratic nomination.-Sumter Netos. FIRE.-We regret to learn that a fire occurred on Wednesday night, ut Saluda Old Town, by which two stores were de? stroyed. W. E. Clary and John Taylor were the sufferers. The former was co? vered by a policy iu the Underwriter's ugeucy for 8000. We have not learned the extent of losses, othor than tho de? struction of the railroad and express books, which were kept by Mr. C. as agent. The cause of the fire cannot be ascertained.-Newberry Hf raid. It is not anticipated in official circles that the award made by the Geneva tribunal will bo paid before tho expira? tion of twelve months from the time of its announcement, this being tho treaty limit. The money will be paid to thu Department of State, and as there is now no law concerning the disposal of it, legislation by Congress becomes neces? sary for that purpose. The only official information concerning the San Juan arbitration is that a decision would be made early this month. DEATIT.-Mrs. A. Finger, wife of Mr. J. P. Finger, of Wilmington, N. C., died in this town, at 12 o'clock, last night. This death is oue of peculiar sadness. Coming to this placo to nurse her husband, who was attacked while on n visit here, she herself sickened, aud away from home and its oom forts, she passed from death uuto life eternal. [Marion Star. At a meeting of the Newberry District Monumental Association, the following gentlemen were chosen for its permanent olllcers: Y. J. Pope, President; J. M. Johnstone, Secretary; B. H. Wright, Treasurer. Committee on Design -Cupt. D. A. Diokert, L. M. Speers and W. T. Tarrant. Two colored men, named Spencer and Jeter, wore overhauled in Summerville township, Union County, on the night of the ttb, on a chargo of cottou steal? ing. They attempted to escape, wore 6red upon by their captors, and Jeter was killed and Spencer wounded. The individuals who tired tho shots are to be arrested. A California couple, who were di? vorced twenty-three years ago, wero ro ceutly married again, having tried sovo rul other partners unsatisfactorily in the meantime. Philip Martinotti, long associated with tho famous Ravel Troupe, diod in New York, on Thursday, September 20, aged forty-eight years. A smart Buffalo boy of thirteen lately stabbed a girl, argued his own caso iu oonrt and was sent to jail for only twen? ty-four hours. LETTER FROM GKNF.IIAL EARLY -Gen. Jubal A.. Early, of. Virgin iu, of Con fud o rate fame, has written a letter in reply to an invitation to attend a < Jreeley aud Brown meeting ut Winchester, Virginia, advising his friends to vote for tho ticket nominated by tho Democratic party. Hitherto General Early his been under? stood to oppose Mr. Greoley's nomina? tion, but, while ho does not now ap? prove it, he says he is unt going, because ho cannot have his own way, to part company with tho only friends he re? cognizes, and leave the .State iu the hands of thone who would prey upon her vitals, for if the vote of Virginia should be cimt for Graut at tho coming electiou, he looks upon it as very proba? ble that at the next general election his supporters will obtain possession of the ?State, and by that means consign the people of Virginia to a Government like that of South Carolina. General Early is very severe upon the "Confederate renegades," whom ho characterizes as "the worst of the whole lot" of the Radical party of tho State. In discuss? ing the claims of magnanimity set np for General Graut by his friends in re? gard to his treatment of (Jouerai Lee, General Early makes the following inte? resting statements, which are not gene? rally known : "For a soldier to grant honorable terms to an adversary who has shown bis prowess in the most unmistakable manner, requires no very greut stretch of magnanimity, but is generally re? garded among brave men as a matter of course, and there are numerous instances to be found of such terms granted even by those we would regard as barbarians. The terms grauted to General Lee's army at Appomattox were matter of stipulation, aud not of grace, and I have the authority of General Lee himself for saying that if honorable terms had not been granted him, he would have made the effort to cut his way ont with the troops loft bira. The statement some? times made that Grant returned General Lee's sword to him, has no foundation in faot, for by the very terms of the sur? render, all officers were allowed to retain their side arms, their privute horses and baggage. As to the claim in the pam? phlet for magnanimity ou Grant's part iu interfering to prevent Geueral Lee from being prosecuted, the obvious answer is that Grant's own honor was in? volved iu preserving inviolate the terms gruuled General Lee and his army. Hud be not interfered to preveut a breaoh of faith, he would have been dishonored in the view of honorable men of all nations; und the man who then acted ns bis counselor and guide had tho sagacity to see it, and prompt him as to the course necessary for the protection of his own fame." A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.-The Atlanta Sun learns from passengers on the Geor? gia Railroad that a sad accident hap? pened in DeKalb County on Sunday. Mr. Samuel Corley, his wife and four children, were proceeding to church in a wagon, aud when they reached a point in the road, u mile or two from Indian Creek Church, they, the wugou and all, without a momcut's warning, wore crushed hy a falling tree. No one was instantly killed, but, sad to relate, Mrs. Corley uud thu eldest child died Monday morning from injuries sustained by the falling tree. Mrs. Corley, at the time of the fatal ncuident, hud un infant in her arms, but both it and Mr. Corley mira? culously escaped unhurt. O, THAT I WERE BEAUTIFUL! is the unspoken wish of thousands of women to whom nature hus denied the charm of a pure, fresh, transparent complexion. To gratify this wish, HAGAN'S MAGNOLIA BALM was introduced. The cosmetics of tho day had been pronounced poison? ous by the most distinguished chemists, and it was also found thut their ultimate effect wus to wither the skin, as well us to paralyze tho external nerves. The ladies bailed with delight the advent of a healthful herbal and floral preparation capuble of imparting to their faces, necks aud arms a porcelain smoothness and a tingo like that of tho finest oriental pearl. They soon discovered that it was a "new thing nuder tho sun," incompa? rable aud unapproachable. Unques? tionably tho MAGNOLIA BALM has boen the great toilet success of tho present century. 81,000 REWARD is offered by tho pro? prietor of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for a medicine that will equal it in the euro of all severo cases of "Liver Complaint," and all diseases arising from impurity of the blood, ns Emption?, Pimples, Blotches, Boils, Seo. 01?Jf3 A brace ot manumitted citizens in Ap piing County, Ga., had a little wrangle about politics, the other day. One had a kuife und the other didn't, and tho one that didn't, when ho came out of this dis? pute, resembled a pictorial paper-that is to say, ho wus illustrated with cats. A very strango death occurred at St. Omer, 111., last week. A young man commenced bleeding at the nose, then at the lungs, aud finally the blood oozed oat of the pores of tho skin. In this ooudition, ho liugered three or foar days, wheu he died. . Hon. Lewis M. Ayer, of Barnwell, formerly a member of the Confederate Congress, has recently connected him? self with the Baptist Church, and has entered tho ministry of that denomina? tion. We learn that he is quite an elo? quent and impressive preacher. Wm.

THE SALUDA FACTOBY. -We had th pleasuro on Tuesday afternoon of pay? ing a flying visit to the Saluda Factory, situated about three miles from the city, on the Saluda River, a short distance above its confluence with Broad River, by which ia formed tho Cocgaree. We were surprised at the extent of the works aud at the quantity of costly aud beauti? ful machinery employed. It is a sight well worth seeing; but wo will withhold our more minute description until we can see it in operation and inform our? selves fully upon all the facts counected with it. At present, tho busy spindles aro still awaiting the insortion of a new and powerful torbine water wheel, of the Lafelle pattern, by which tho power or capacity of tho factory will be in? creased fifty per cent. As it now stands, there are nearly 7,000 spindles run, which consume 1,500 or 2,000 bales of cotton a year, and furnish employment to 120 women and boys. The growth of cotton manufactures in the South, within the past two or three years, ha? been very rapid, and their invariable success highly encouraging. Having the raw material immediately at hand, labor being cheap and abundant for work of this class, water power inexhaustible, almost, aud our genial climate permit? ting work all the year round, the South possesses peoulitr advantages for the manufacture of cotton, against which no other section of the world can success? fully compete. Upon the development of this branch of industry, we believe that tho future prosperity of our section mainly depends. There is certainly no more inviting field for labor and enter? prise open to us at this time, particularly ID South Carolina, and more particularly still, in Columbio. As public journaliste we feel that we have scarcely a higher duty than to write thia subject up, and wo intend to do so. Col. J. B. Palmer, tho active member of the Arru of Childs, Johnston & Palmer, which owns the Salnda Factory, promises us eoms inte? resting statistics in relation to the busi? ness, which we hope to give the public at an early day. . Yesterday a motion for a writ of liabeas corpus was made in the case of H. C. Carter, charged with forgery, before his Honor Judge A. J. Willard, by Messrs. L. E. LeOonte and B. I. Boone, counsel for the defence. Messrs. Pope Sc Has? kell, representing the State, opposed the motion on the ground that the Judge of the Circuit Court was the on ly recognized authority during term time. Elaborate argument was adduced in support of the objection to the jurisdiction by Messrs. Pope Sc Haskell. And as the sherill waa unauthorized by law to make a return for titree days, tho session was in conse? quence dismissed. We understand that another application for bail will be im? mediately made. THE DAT OF ATONEMENT.-On Friday evening next, tho 11th instant, corres? ponding with the 10th day of the Jewish month Tishri, the Day of Atonement oommences, and continues for twenty four hours. During all this time the Israelites abstain from food and drink with great rigour-not even a drop of water is allowed-and pass the time in roading the solemn prayers and confes? sions whioh are appropriate to the occa? sion. It is a day of purely spiritual ex? ercise and devotion. All business is sus? pended, and the most pressing^secnlar employments are for that day forgotten; body and mind being alike devoted to tho great and absorbing duty of repent? ance and atonement. PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.-The meet? ing, yesterday, at the Fair Grounds, was large and passed off pleasantly. The State Grange waa organized and the fol? lowing offloers elected: Master-Colonel Thomas Taylor; Overseer-Colonel A. D. Goodwyn; Lecturer-John S. Riohard ion, Esq ; Secretary-D.
