West, Jr., in Charlestou, several months ago, eommeuced in that city, yesterday. j OLUMBIA, S. a Wednesday Morning, Nov. 11,1873. Riol? Lrgttcy from (hePast. The power of the American flag to protect not only American citizens, bat all others wboaeek the protection of its folds, was splendidly illustrated by an incident which occurred during the residence of Hon. Joel R. Pointsott, us American Minister, at tbo City of Mexico. Somo foreigner had iu some way fallen uudcr the ban of popular dislike and condemnation. Considering his lifo as not safe, ho sought the quar? ters of the American Minister for safety. Tho mob soon gathered iu a highly in censed state, threatening attack on the premises. Whcu persuasion failed to quiet their excitement, Mr. Poiutse tt J directed his secretary, the late Hon. ! John M. Masou, of Yirgiuia, to dUplay tho national ensign. As Ibis symbol of national power spread its stars and stripes to tho breeze, the infuriated populace looked in awe and terror upon tho significant act, gave up their mis? chievous purpose, und relinquished all furt'ier pursuit of the person they were in search of. They wisely shrunk from tho issue, which they saw was plaiuly tendered, in case t hey prosecuted their mad designs any further. It was n proud aud beautiful incident iuAineri-j cau history. It demonstrated tbo pro? tective power aud noble beneficence of the uatioual standard, before its folds were stuiued with tho blood of our owu citizens, or durkeued und disgraced by oppression and cruelly, exercisedaguinst sovereign States. A mag tub ..-cut picture, representing this splendid historical incident, was painted by order of South Carolina. In commemorating it, especial honor was paid to Mr. Poiutsett, the piiucipal figure in tbo composition, as he bad been tho piiucipal aolor in the trausnc tiou. Subsequently, it was presented by tho State to another highly honored sou, General Andrew Jackson. He had been made tho recipient, also, of n handsome testimonial from the Indies of Charleston, in tho shape of a large sil? ver vase. Iu his will, he boqucatbed these beautiful tributes to the admira? tion which his native State felt for him, in trust, to his udoptod son, Audrew Jackson, Jr., with directions, that "should our happy couuiry not bo blessed with peaco?an event not always to bo expected?ho will, at tho close of the war, or ond of the conflict, present each of said articles of inestimable value to that patriot residing iu the State from which they were presented who shall bo adjudged by his country? men or tbo ladies to have been the most valiant in the defeuco of his country and our country's rights." In accordance with the spirit, if not letter, of this bequest, his son, as exe? cutor of the last will and testament of General Jackson, on 3.1 April, 1S53, transmitted the vase and picture to tbo ca u of Gov. B. F. W. Alston, to bo handed to tho Palmetto Association. Ou the Atb of May following, Governor Alston issued a proclamation, which authoritatively carried out this disposi : tiou. "Now, therefore," it ran, "iu i view of the impossibility of selecting the I most valiant where all arc brave, in I consideration of tho courago nud cou ! duct of said regimeuS, acting as a unit ' ou the fields of Mexico, and in conside? ration, also, of what is understood to ! have been tbo purpose of tho venerable testator, namely, that these inestimable j memorials of bis own gulhulry at New Orleans should bo restored, through some worthy citiz.:n, to his native State, ! whence they came, there to remain for? ever, I do hereby present und convey to W. B. Stanley, President of tbo Pal? metto Association, and lo bis successors in office, tbo silver vase and pirlnrc, presented, Ac , to bo preserved among tbo fropbie.s of tbo said Palmetto Regi? ment, for tho honor and gratification of tho surviving members thereof, and in trust for tbo last surviving member of the same." During tho destruction and devasttt I tiou of tho civil war, perhaps iu the I sack of Columbia, tho picture, with tho J glorious spirit which it so strikingly j typified, was trampled iu the dust nud i lost. The vuso is iu tho Looping of our friend, Captain Slnuloy, in trust, for the association of wbicli be is President. A manuscript copy of tbo correspondence of Governor Alston with Andrew Jack sou, Jr., and of tho Governor's pro? clamation, is neatly framed, protected by glass, and may bo seen ut the Cap? tain's store. As tho trophies of Marius would not let Cmiar sloop, so tho incident iu the Cily of Mexico, tho achievement of tho Palmetto Regimont on tho snme soil, the distinction of Mr. PointsoU, aud tbo brilliant fame of Gen. Jackson, should provo valuable lessons to our youtb, in? fusing in thorn a spirit of uncaloulnting dovotiou to country, aud nourishing an honorable ambition to serve it in their turn with equal fidelity. -.-*?-? The Klecilon?. Oar readers will be uble to appreciate the signal change, in the popular vote from the following figures: Iu 1872, tbe Republicans had majorities in Mary? land, 1,935; Virginia, 4,880; New York, 55,000; Wisconsin, 18,510; Kansas, 34, 078; Illinois, 56,478; Miuuesotu, 20, 497; Michigan 59,175; Massachusetts, 74,300; New Jersey, 14,860. Tbis 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 23.300; Kansas, (esti? mated,) 5,000?a gain of 39,000. His States, Maryland, Virginia, New York, Wisconsin, Kuuhus aud Illinois, have been carried by handsome majorities. Large gains have boeu urado iu Massa? chusetts, New Jersey and Mississippi, and a partial victory won in Minnesota aud Michigan. Several Republican papers have put forth apologies and explanations of this dire result. They seem to differ some? what as to what dealt them such heavy blows. It is not a matter of much cou peru, so we are certain tho thing has been effectually done. If the elements of opposition did not muster exclusively under one standard, if there was some diversity of opinion, some variety iTi the names, and some difference in tho ob? jects umongsl them, they arc all united in one. thing, viz: a dosiro aud purpose to overthrow tho Radical Rvpublicuu party. I' has been substantially a vic? tory for the Conservative influence, whether it. was called in one place the Democratic, iu another tbe independent, the farmers' or the people's ticket. In every instance, it was anti-Radical. This opposition, embracing tho qualities of honesty, progress and liberal ideas, is rapidly crystaliziug, and will go on eou queiiug and to conquer. .. .-?. - _ CiTY Mattkks,?Subscribe for the I'utr.Ntx.

This is a procedont which might bo followed ad? vantageously by banks in other sections. Tub Faiii 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, be thronged with a de? lighted crowd, as the trains brought in large numbers last night. We pub? lish tbo principal entries elsewhere. Among the articles which attracted at toutiou, was tho display of iron work exhibited by Mayor Alexander; tbo iron ebnir*, sofas, etc., were cast aud painted by tho same nrtisau, and aro very tustily d >ne. Tbo wreath of feather flowers, executed by Mrs. R. S. Morrison, Jr., is a beautiful piece of work.

Irwin's Hall was agaia 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 tbe fow plays that make a lasting im? pression on the mind, to be called np in after yearn, as a pleasant reminiscence of tbe past. Of tbo two bright particular stars, Mr. Walking 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 new drama ho plays the part of the Shin gawn admirably, and tbot he fills the tbrco acts with a life and vigor to which wc havo been unaccustomed of late, l.tose Wat kins, too, is a fine actress, her action and reading excellent, and she rises at critical moments to true tragio power. In her defiance of Wolff, when sho brands him as n liar and a traitor, her acting evoked a roar of applause, which broke spontaneouly from the entire house. And in the reading of her mother's legacy, she evinced the most exquisite pathos. It is evident through? out that Fergus McCarty, the patriout officer of 1708, has not much education, aud 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 pat into his power, ho 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 ploy, entitled "Rank, or Woman's Heart," will be pirformed; followed by tho popular comcdiatta of "Two to Quar? rel." Reserved seats can bo secured at J. F. Rawls' Music Store. The Sabre Club.?Tho Edgefield Sabre Club arrived in town last evening, having come through the whole way on horseback. They are quartered at Mrs. Clendiuiug's, and their horses taken to stalls on tbo Fair Grounds. We met our old friend, Captain Ward, who still keeps up bravely, and who, with charac? teristic- spirit, has attichod himself to the club. We learn from the Captain that tbe club made long marcibs, and will rest and recruit to-day. To-morrow or next day, the tournament will be held. To-day, at 2 o'clock, they will be for? mally received on the Fair Grounds, by tho Presidont of tbe State Agricnltural end Mechauical Society and the Joint Stock Auxiliary Company.
