West, Jr., in Charleston, several months ago, oommeuced in that city, yesterday. ( PLUMB IA, S. C~ Wednesday Morning, Hoy, li, 1873. .Rich Legacy from thePkit. The power of the American flag to protect not only American citizens, bot all others who seek tho protection of its folds, was splendidly illustrated by an iucident wbiob occurred during the residence, of Hon. Joel B. Pointsett, as American Minister, at tbo City of Mexico. Sumo foreigner had in some way fallen uuder the ban of popular dislike and condemnation. Considering his lifo as not safe, he sought tho quar? ters of the American Minister for safely. Tho mob soon gathered iu a highly in censed state, threatening attack on the premises. When persuasion failed to quiet their excitement, Mr. Poiutsett directed his secretary, the lute Hun. Jouu M. Mason, of Virginia, to display the national ensign. As this symbol of national power spread its slurs and stripes to the breeze, the infuriated populace looked iu awe and terror upon tho significant, net, gave up their mis? chievous purpose, and relinquished all further pursuit of the person they were in search of. They wisely shrunk from tho issue, which they saw was plainly tendered, in case they prosecuted their mud designs any further. It was n proud aud beautiful incident in Ameri? can history. It demonstrated tbo pro? tective power nud noble beneficence ul the natiouul standard, before its folds were stuiued with tho blood of our own citizens, or durkeucd and disgraced by oppression aud cruelly, exercised against sovereign States. A magnificent picture, representing this splendid historical incident, was painted by order of South Carolina. Iu commemorating it, especial honor was paid to Mr. Poiutsett, tho piiucipul figure in the composition, as be had been tho piiucipul aotor iu the transac? tion. Subsequently, it was presented by tho State to another highly bouored sou, Geueral Andrew Jackson. He had been made tho recipient, also, of n handsome testimonial from the Indies of Charleston, iu the shape of a large sil? ver vuse. In his will, ho bequeathed these beanliful tributes to tho admira? tion which bis native State felt for him, in trust, to his adopted sou, Audrew Jackson, Jr., with directions, that "should our happy country not bo blessed with peace?an event not always to bo expected?ho will, at tho close of the war, or end of the conflict, present each of said articles of iuestimublo value to that patriot residiug iu tho State from whioh they were presented who shall be adjudged by his country? men or tho ladies to have been tbo most valiant in the defence of his country und our country's rights." In accordance with tho spirit, it not letter, of this bequosl, his son, as exe? cutor of thu last will and tostaraeut of General Jackson, on 3.1 April, lb?i, transmitted the vase and picture to the ca o of Go v. B. F. \V. Alston, to bo handed to tho Palmetto Association. On the -1th of May following, Governor Alston issued u proclamation, which authoritatively carried out this disposi? tion. "Now, therefore," it ran, "iu i view of the impossibility of selecting the i most valiant where all are brave, in j consideration of tbo courngo nnd cou I duct of said regimen!, acting as n unit . ou the fields of Mexico, and iu conside? ration, also, of what is understood to I have been the purpose of tiie venerable testator, namely, that these inestimable j memorial.* of bis own gall miry at New Orleans should bo restored, through some worthy citizen, to his native State, , wh< uce tliey came, there lo remain for ? ever, I do hereby present and convoy to \V. B. Stanley, President of the Pal? metto Association, and to his successors tin office, Hie silver vase and picluro, presented, Ac , to be preserved among tbo trophies of the said Palmetto llegi nient, for the honor and gratification of tho surviving members thereof, nnd in trust for tho last surviving member of the sumo." During tho destruction and devasta? tion of tho civil v?nr, perhaps in the sack of Columbia, tho picture, with the glorious spirit which it so strikingly typified, was trampled in the dust nud i lout. The vuse is iu the keeping of our J friend, Captain Stanley, in I rust, for tho j association of which he is President. A j manuscript copy (>f tho correspondence of Governor AI ton with Andrew Jack sou, Jr., nnd of tho Governor's pro? clamation, is neatly framed, protected I by glass, nnd may bo seen at the Cap? tain's store. As tho trophies of Marius would not let Cm iar sloop, so tbo incident iu the Cily of Mexioo, tho achievement of tho Palmetto llegimont ou tho snmo soil, the distinction of Mr. Fointsett, aud tbo brilliant famo of Gen. Jacksou, should provo valuable lessons to our youth, in? fusing in thorn a spirit of uucaloulating devotion to country, and nourishing an honorable ambition to serve it in their tarn with equal fidelity. ; . ? ?*?**>,? The Klccttona. Our readers will be uble to approciato the signal change in the popular vote from the following figures: In 1872, the Republicans had majorities in Mary? land, 1,935; Virginia, 4,880; New York, 55,000; Wisconsin, 18,510; Kansas, 31, 078; Illinois, 56,478; Minnesota, 20, 407; Michigan 59,175; Massachusetts, 74,300; New Jersey, 14,860. This year Maryland gives a Democratic victory of 20,000?a gain of 22,000; Virginia, 22, 000?a gain of 25,000; New York, 15, 000?a gain of 67,000; Wisconsin, 15, 000?a gain of 2:},300; Kansas, (csti mated.) 5,000?a gain of 30,000. Six Stales, Maryland, Virginia, New York, Wisconsin, Kamms aud Illinois, have boeu carried by handsome majorities. Large gains have been made iu Massa? chusetts, New Jcrscj* and Mississippi, and a partial victory won in Minnesota aud Michigan. Sereral Republican papers have put forth apologies and explanations of this dire result. They eceai to differ some? what as to what, dealt them such heavy blows. It is not a mallor of much cou cem, so we are certain the thing has boeu effectuuily douo. If the elements of opposition did not muster exclusively tinder one standard, if there was Komn diversity of opinion, some variety ifi tbo names, and some diffcrot co in tho oh-1 jects amongst them, they arc all united iu one thing, viz: u desiro aud purpose I to overthrow the Radical R -publican J party. It has been substantially a vic? tory for the Conservative influence, I whether if. was called in one place the : Democratic, iu another the independent, the farmers' or the people's ticket. In | every instance, it was anti-Radical. This opposition, embracing the qualities of ! honesty, progress and liberal ideas, is rapidly crystaliziug, and will go ou cou queiiug and to couquer.

This notion is precautionary, and yet, under the circumstances, is un? avoidable. It is understood that there I j has been a run on ouo of tho banks, I aud as it could not convert its securi? ties, on a falling market, into cash, without great sacrifice, suspension wm a measure of protection both for the banks and tho depositors. This is a precedent which might bo followed ad? vantageously by banks iu other sectious. -_ The Fair Grounds ?There was a very good attendance of visitors at the Fair Grounds, yesterday. The display of articles in all the departments was remarkably full. To-day, the vast balls will, doubtless, bo thronged with a de? lighted crowd, as the trains brought in largo numbers laat night. We pub? lish tho principal entries elsewhere. Among the articles which uttructed at? tention, was tho display of iron work exhibited by Mayor Alexander; tho iron chairs, sofas, etc., were cast aud painted by tho same nrtisuu, and nro very tastily d )tio. Tho wreath of feather flowers, executed by Mrs. R. S. Morrison, Jr., is a beautiful piece of work. Mr. i rank Green's specimens of his skill iu tnxi dormy are truly amusing; tho little pests aro made to pursue useful occupations. Mr. F. W. Wing's samples of wood work are well worth looking ut.

Irwin's Hull was again filled, last night, to witness the performance- by this truly deserving troupe of the drama of "Trodden Down, or under Two Flags. It is one of the few plays that make s lasting im? pression on tho mind, to be called up in after years, as a pleasant reminiscence of tbe past. Of tbo two bright particalar stars, Mr. WatkiuB is an admirable comedian, of original stump, blending his comedy with a pathos and energy seldom found united on the stage, though seldom apart iu nature. It is not too much to say that in the now I drama he plays the part of the Shin gawn admirably, and that he fills tho three acts with a life and vigor to which wc have been unaccustomed of late. Hose Wat kins, too, is a fine actress, her action und reading excellent, and she rise .. ..t critical moments to true tragic power. Id her defiance of Wolff, when bho brands him as a liar and a traitor, her acting evoked a roar of applause, which broke spontaneouly from the entire bouse. And in the reading of her mother's legacy, she evinced the most exquisite pathos. It is evident through? out that Fergus McCarty, the patriont officer of 179S, has not much education, and has held no high rank in the world, but he is never commonplace and never vulgar, and when he knows that he has a right to defend tho fair being whom chance aud fraud has pnt into his power, he does so with a passionate love and undaunted courage which speaks strongly to tho heart of every spectator. The other characters were very well sus? tained. This evening, the new play, entitled "Bank, or Woman's Heart," will be performed; followed by tho popular eomediatta of "Two to Quar? rel." reserved seats can be secured at J. P. Bawls' Music Store. The Sabiie Club.?The Edgefield Sabre Club arrived in town last evoning, having come through the whole way on horseback. Tbey are quartered at Mrs. Clendiuiug's, and their horses token to stalls on tho Fair Grounds. W ? met our old friend, Captain Ward, who still keeps up bravely, and who, with charac? terise spirit, has attiched himself to tho club. We learn from the Captain that the club made long maroAbs, and will rest aud recruit to-day. To-morrow or next day, the tournament will be held. To-day, ut 2 o'clock, they will be for mully received on the Fair Grounds, by tho President of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society and the Joint Stock Auxiliary Company. The follow? ing is a roll of the company: W. T. Gary, President; J. H. Thayer, J. T. Griffin, A. A. Cliaby, J. T. Sweaungor, J. F. Betts, S. B. Mayes, James B. Tompkins, W. F. Roper, T. L. Miller, W.
