therefore, congratulate tbi country upon "
the prospect of a speedy settlement of all

--It is with deep and einoere regret that
we announce the death of William Gregg,
Sen., Esq., President of the Graniteville
Manufacturing Company. The melancholy
event occurred, at Kalmia, early yesterday
morning.
Mr. Gregg was a native of Monongalia
Coonty, Virginia. Tie was brought up to
the trade of a Watoh maker and Jeweler,
and, in early manhood, settled end carried

wh?M, by his industry, energy and enterprise,
he accumulated a handsome fortune,
leaving Columbia, be removed to Charlee
ton, where he was, for some time, eonneet"
ad in business with the Tlaydena. He,
along with the late Ker Boyce. and other
capitalists, established the Oraniteville
Manufacturing Company, of which he may
be regarded as the founder. He finally do
oted himself entirely to this institution,
and removed to his charming residence, at
Kalmia, two miles this side of the village
, ?t Oraniteville, where he dispensed a generous
hospitality. He was a man of liberal
views and enlarged benevolence, and
bla charities to the needy and deserving,
eepeeially during the late disastrous war,
were numerous and munificent. Oraniteville
and its flourishing ootton factory confltilute
his honorable and enduring monument.
He converted an Idle, vagrant and
ignorant population into an industrious,
moral and educated community. In cst&bliahing
the factory, ho and his colleague
eared for the interests of religion, by the
raction and endowment of two church ed~
ifioes (Methodist and Baptist.) and, at the
came time, provided for the education of
the ohildran of the operatives, by the endowment
of a free echoo). He was truly a
public spirited and patriotic citizen, and
his death will be felt and mourned as a
pnblio calamity. lie was in his sixty-seventh
year when he closed his useful and
honorable career. He has Ieft-an amiable
widow anil several worthy sons and daugh

personal knowledge and experience of his
high intelligence and many vi-tries mingles
private grief with our sense of public lea*,

Political Mkitting of the Fbkxdmxn.?
There was a large gathering of tfco froedmen
at Gethsemane, a new Baptist church,
four miles to the north of town, last week.
Wo have understood that many violent and
inflammatory harangues were made by col
ored orators, urging their race to " stick
together, and have nothing to do with the
poor white folks. Such teems the prevailing
sentlnont Among them, and wc may expeot
the nomination and oloction of a black
delegation to tbe approaching Convention
from this District.
We are constrained to say that the efforta
to conciliation made by tome of onr moat
respectable citizens have thus far, produced
but little good effect. The r sgroes eeem
determined to rule and rain. We deplore
the result, but it seems we cannot help it
Like the little pig roasting on the spit, wo

The United State* Co art Adjourned.
The Court adjourned on Monday. The
ezeiting oase of the United States ts. Abwim,
Crumb aad Datidsoh, charged with a violation
of the Revenue laws, resulted in a vsrdiet
of gnilty, which was returned by the
jnry, after dark, on Saturday evening. The
oase had oocupied ten daya'time of theeourt
It was prosecuted and dafended ably and
vigorously. Three days wore taken up
with arguments to the jnry. Seven days
having beon oonsnmed in elioiting the teatimony,and
in dlsoussingand settling the numerous
points of difficulty in the pleading*
and evidence. Every inch of ground wan
obstinately contested. The counsel for the
defendants (Meters. Eablst, Prrrt and
Thomas, of Greenvillo, Qabt, of Edgefield,
and Portkr of Charleston) seemed well
fortified and oonfident In their lines of defence,
whilst Diatriot Attorney Corbih, and
liis associates, Rkki> and Earik, wore equally
earnest and confident on their side, and ter~
ribly aggressive in thoir assaults upon the
well defended positions of thoir opponents.
It was manifest to tho speotators that both
parties were after gaining two poeitious
i essential to success, known as the Bench and
the Jury Box. After some sevore skirmishing
and occasional heavy attacks from one
and tho other party to carry tho Bench on
their side on legal grounds, on clearing
up of the smoke it was discovered with a
decided bearing to the law side of the assail'

defence, and there vaa very just alarm on
that aide at tho proepeot, that ita great
weight would be projected by the assailants
agninat the Box now dcpeidod upon
as the final protection agninat the enemy.
Strong efforts were made to defend this
position against the overpowering pressure,
but when In the end the whole force of tho
Bench fell full upon it, it was na usual, entirely
carried by the assailants. Tho da
fenders wore, therefore, obliged to surrender
at discretion. It must be oonfosaed
that tho Bonch rested at last as softly and
tenderly npon the fallen defendants, as the
I nature of the case permitted. Tho seutence
of the Court was do more than was abso
lately required by law, hut severe, never
tbelesf ; the penalties and costs irapossd
amounting to twelve thousand dollars and
upwards, with tho alternative annexed, that
if the same were not paid, the parties should
suffer imprisonment for one year saoh.
We would be glad to report something of
the eloquent and able arguments of counsel
in this case, but neither epnoe nor time
permits. The efforts made on the occasion,
were well esloulstcd to add to tha reputa
tion of the gentlemen engagod, most of
whom are already very distinguished in
this State. Major Cobbt.i, the District Attorney,

he exhibited forensio talent* well qualify
ing him for the able and efficient performance
of hie arduous and responsible duties
In justice to the defendants in the ease, it
should be etated that their characters were
represented as very respectable indeed ; and
many who heard their case with consider'
able patienoe, did not believe that they
ought to have been convietcd, whilst others
who thought differently, regarded their
offence as unintentional, and not a corrupt
violation of the law.
Wo regrot not being able to report tho loading
points in tho Judge's charge, happening to
bo absent at its doll very. The case turned very
much npon tho construction of tho Revenue
Act of 1868, in tho outset of whioh a distiller
ia definod to bo one who mokes spirits by continuous
distillation from grain / a thing colon
lated to mislead, bceauso in tho body of th<
Act, only, appears a clause indicating thatd s,
tillors gonerally should bo liablo to special tax
and certain ponaltioa for not paying it. Thi
defendants, in tho ease wo havo been alluding
to, distillod, acoording to tho proof, only molasses.
There were counts in tho indictmen
for distilling in their vinegar works, for recti
fying etc., which combined to swell the penal
tios, bat the heavy itom was for the spirit
distilled from molassos, as to which thoj
might, as intimated, havo relied for proteotioi
nnon the vorv definition of tho Act of 1800
especially if unfortunately overlooking th
other clauses, which clauses their counsel earn
ostly argued did not alter the ease.

Militia Offlotrt and Begistratlon.
We vara astounded yesterday, o.? being
hovn an order from Headquarter*, Dietriot
No. 1, absolutely declaring militia of
Boers la thia State not aaUtlad to register,
apon the ground that they may have had
something to df with enforcing the patrol
lawa of the State. The reason seams moat
fallaelooa indeed, and the rule. It strikes us,
vary nnfoundad. The order Is from Gen
Sickles, being dated August 4fih. We
hare little doubt that bad the General remained,
this order woold be revised and
countermanded, aad there Is also every
reason to helieva that it will be by the
I pretest Commands!". The Aoi oi congress
plainly refers to civil offices, Judiolal, Executive,
L^giilatln, to. To axolnda ovary
officer, military as wall aa civil, would
make the Aot of Congress nonaeneioat, fori
by specifying a close of offlooa. It, by nee~
eesary implication, omits thoaa not epool
fled, and If every officer of a State waa intended
to be disfranchised, the Aot would
have said so. Oea. Sicklks must have acted
hastily and unadvisedly in this Order of
the t?tb, August.
All persons however who think they are entitled
to register, militia officers inoluded.are
permitted to have their names entered, with
the challenge and objaetion, and they will
be reported for final decision to the MajorGeneral
Commanding, and, wa tharefore,
recommend all militia officers to take this
course; tboy are not required to take the
oath in so doing; that will bo administered
hereafter when the General decides in their
favor. We hope, therefore, no one, not
plainly exoluded by the Act of Congreaa,
will fail to come forward and have their
names registered, or entered for registration.

termine the beat route over the mountaii
d for a rail road to eonneot with Columbi
.e Charleston, Augusta, Ac., and that it w

^ 0.1. Townee spoke at aome length a
plaining lbs ad vantages to this section
riiTiii
i country. Id be derived from tho oontctnplated
rail-road connection, of Aditfillt and
Greenville, urging many considerations, going
to chow that the propoccd oonnaotlon
woald prove mere advantageoas to the
people of Wcetera North Caroline, then
that afforded by any other route over the
mountain*, and that tbte route hade double
advantage over any other, to Ashevllle and
all oonnected with that plaoe, inaerauoh aa
the route to Greenville would give them tho
beat aonneetioB with Charleeton, and aloo a
nearly direot route to An gnat* and Savannah,
at the came time giving them a oonnee

the oott of $10.00 from Qroonville to Columbia,
and from Columbia to New York, $29.00,
making thirty-nino dollars In all, and the accommodations
aro fino. Thoy havo beautiful
I and now style oars from Columbia through,
and tho railroads aro In good order.
Sdxd/t, Sept. 1.?I visited the First Baptist
Church Sunday School. I was surprised
to sco such a small sohool, not more than one
hundrod boing in attendance; the whole number
is not more than two hundred and fifty,
and is rather poorly oonduoted. They request*
ed mo to make a speech but I declined. The Infant
Class is very small. After 8nnday-8ohool,
I attended Church and heard a good sermon,
after whioh I took the street oars to the Central
Park, some half hour's ride. This Park
la a pleasant and novel plaoe j thousands of
persons and carriages visit here on Sunday j
took a long walk all through the Park. It U
beautifully laid off, in niee gravel walks and
carriage drives. All kinds of shrubbery
growth is to be seen here, and nloely seated
and handsomo arbors, all through It, with saloons
for refreshments; near the eeotre are
beautiful pools, with water founts and fish,
also, a beautiful lake, with alee little heats,
upon whioh you can get a two mile's ride for
ten eents. After the boat ride, I then strolled
on to a large building, which is the Museum.
It contains ell sorts of both wild and tame
animals and fowls; a great many are alive and
some dead, also many otherourtesiUse; several
balls and shell whioh were fired at CharlesInn
find Viol flnmUr a?a iKal maa Mm* J *
the rebel English gune, something larger than
a common nail keg ; thla latter appeared to be
muoh of a curiosity.
I then rota mod from there throngh the ally
to the chip landing, and lookod at the large
number of ft no voeaola laying in the harbor.?
Thla wound up my day'a walk.
Now, aa for polltloa t Yon hear bat lltUe
aeld. I have eonrereed with a goodly naeaber
from all parte of the North?and they didn't
know where I waa from?and they all are In
favor of tho Booth, and down on the precent
Congress, and talk about negroea being equal
and tho Nothorn wbitea aaeooiatlng with them
aa all a humbug. There la no aueh thing here,
A negro oan't get a docont employment | ne,
neither will the loweat whltee patron 1m
them; even tho ditohera won't work with
thorn. There ia no mixing whatever; they
live and work entirely to themselves, on tholi
own hook; and it ia Tory oortain th?
North will nover allow them a vote or to bold
ofioe. And talk about tho nogroee' friends
the Northerner Is juet as muoh their frteodi
, as tho fox ia a friend of a fowl; they will bm
