J. mo*B9, one m toe uircuu mw Of this Slate, elected under the Constitution of 18fl5, ha* jnat been elected the Chief Justice of. the Stale. Judge Mirks ie an oble lawyer, and baa ta'enta to fill ihe office. The Aeeooiabe Justloe of the Supreme .Court for four yearaja, Axikl J. Witt-var, lately of* New York, lie was educated aa a lawyer, and practiced in New York before the war. In the time of the war he got the offioe of Lieut Colonel of a negro regiment, and since lis close has been in Charleston as Judge Advocate.General, and haa been the law adviser of Gen. Sicxlks, and of Gen. Canbt, said to he a strongly prejudiced Republican or Radical, as such are commonly described. SoLOMog Lakaykttk ITogb, is the other Judge elected to the Supreme Court for two yoara. lie is a native of Ohio, was cdn cated a lawyer, served in tire war against the South bravely, and was Breveted Major. lie has bem on th* ataff of Oonernl, now Governor Scott. The Chafletton Courier says he ie connected with some of 1h? best families of Virginia, and presumes, as to his polities, that lie is of Radical proeliv. ities. ^The connexion with good Vir ginia blood, however, ought to make rs doubt this imputation. \Ve hope ho is not much of a Radical, and has no proclivities towards their proscriplivo spirit. Tho press of the State, and some public speakers are very severe on Judge Mosns for mixing with the Radicals or accepting high office from them. It seems to be their opinion that he is unlike his great namesake of old, who refused to ho called the son rharaoh's daught<r, and preferred to suffer affliction with his own p-ople, rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, and that he has respect to the recompense of reward in the beggarly things of the tern ftoral nta.tr, and to enjoy the profits of Radicalism for a teatou, short or long. The Charlatan Merotnv ancsrests that he may not even obtain I he .consideration of the $5,000 salary. We can well limngiue, how ever, the presence of a.motive to ?erve the country in Judge Moses' conduct, w hich an able and enlightened discharge of-duty may exemplify. We believe there are onlight.ened and able men, not at all Radicals in principle, or favoring Radical measures, who, yei would die willing to take oftiee in the State at this time, not merely for money, bnt to promote the public peaee and general welfare also. There are certainly-members of the Legislature of this spirit as w? II as many District officer*. Let its then Jtulye Judge Muses by his future performances. Great Democratic Meeting at Groenvillo Gpurt Houso. The largest meeting vro ever witnessed in the Greenville Court House, 'assembled on Monday, immediately after the adjournment of the United States Court. Notice had been given in Hie .for the part two weeks that Governor I'KRiir would address tire citizens, and he-did so, in a-very admirable manner; setting forth tho facts connected with tbo great Democratic Convention, and the nomination of Skymocr and Blair. Tho rcuson!"g !of the (Governor were most convincing, and his ealcnlations of the prospects of success for the Dctnocrn'io candidates, were bused upon a sound and solid hasis. His remarks wcro enthusiastically cheered, and the good cause strengthened. He was followed by Col. Rtox of Fairfield, who was called out, and by Col. jJLAsnixo oi auiuicr. rnoso gcnuonion, uistinguisliod for their patriotic spirit and gallantry as officers, and for their intelligence us citixens, made forcible and eloquent speeches. The limited space of a weekly paper, prevents our attempting either a report or comment on the speeches, which wero mainly just and sound in argnuient, although, there were perhaps some things in each of the two last that we did not npprove, there wero exceptions to their general excellence, and acceptability. Wo were gratified to seo these gentlemen among us, they arc here attending the Court. Col. llLAsmxo, wo regret to learn, is suffering from feeble health, wo (rust his visit to-the mountains may invigorate him. The proceedings of the meeting will ho found elsewhere. Wo hope the great meeting on Thursday, tho thirteenth, may he the most glorious one of a'poliiical character, ever held in Greenville, and tbnt we should seo nil hands in this country once more uuitod in the Democratic fold, and perfect peace prevailing among us, let us havo peace by restoring tho good old Democrat ic rule of liberty and law, tho Constitution, and Union under tjic Constitution. Radical Meeting on the 15th Inst. By llie advertisement in our paper it will be seen that, the Hndicals have called a rn*eling t?? tnko placa on Saturday the 151 It near this Town, and have invilol Judge Buvam and M/ijor ComtiN to apeak. We do not know what response theae gentlemen hnve made to the ihvitntion, but think it hardly pro! nh'e that tho Judge nt. least will make I. in-elf a partisan tpeoker, jugt at this time We have not heard of his doing ro on [>: < * i-?s:a occasion*. A Present?Cabbage Weighing Nineteen Pour da. The largest Cabbage we have ever seen or remember to have read ab.ont, wan raised in (iieenviile, and is truly a enj-heity aa to its sac. Mr. J t' Caiii knikr hna delivered to our office one of the above weight, pro duced in hie own garden, and grown by himself, He nleo gave to an officer of the Court one weighing fifteen pounds, which came ftom the tame bed. Mr. C. i? an excellent gardener, and informed ns that th > n*e of guano has not injured the growth ol h's vegetable*. We ytiurn hint our thank', and (Mure hiui that wa will have fine fun T 99 S S The Pioftto IiMt Thanidny Near Captain Char tea'?Why a fiadioal muat become a Democrat. We had (he great pleasure of attending the picnic, and of meeting a very intelligent nod elegant company of ladler and gentlemen. We ei joyed the excellent speeches of (lot. Pkrrt, \fr. Srxrr, and Judge OaiifblLl. Our own brief effort van en far agreeable, to ourselves at leart, and to olhere, doubtless, as it did not foa/y detain from the splendid dinner which'the lioepitrfble people of the .^a.! _1 .1. a t 1 -J a rvgiuH mmiimi bimmil, n?u prrjmreu miupv bountifully. There most'have been near a thousand persons, counting rill who were present There were aeveralsensible Hemocratic colored men present, who listened attentively to the speeches. Everybody' seemed pleased and satisfied, and the good cause wns no doubt strengthened and encouraged. There was tho most peif?-ct order and propriety observed in all the proneeding*, as might he expected from a Dem ocratie gathering. The 1 -dies?and every Southern lady of any intelligence that wo ever heard of, is a Demoornt, or at least opposed to Radicals?contributed largely by ih>tr presence to the success of the meedng, and the good effects It was calculated to produce. Wo heard of but one Radical on the ground, and we liavo no idea that he can stay Radical always; for he was a South ern white man, born "( a white father and mother, and n? t an idiot, nor that we know an office seeker, and having every possible -interest to oppose radicalism and roongrclism. We think, therefore, that he will abandon " the League," with darkness, demh, and long despair, irretrievable ruin and disgrace, which mongrelism, for Radi' icaliam i< mongreliem, must entail upon the laud. It is impossible (hut soy white, enne> njnn, of any party, whatever name he may can nimseit, can stay snttsitea In me Kftfll cnl party, if he entertains nryr regard for* the mother tlint bore him, or for any kin. dred, friends, and -country. Mnngrelism, mingling of'negrqea and white* in-all aorta of way* that It td realism encourages, in spite of the profusion of some of its Southern ad vocal es, is the hoi rid and n]?nslroit? end of the policy of tliat Jmrty., that |da'*e* the ne. grocs of the South aV?ove the whites, as much as in thcrn lies. In ail history, in nil fable, there never was ?o great -contempt shown l?y any party, or set of men, for I lie hit man understanding, as is allow n by the North ern Radicals, for t heir deluded dupes and u." derstrappers of the South. They proclaim hostility lo rebels, and what do they do tot their so-called loyal mend Why, they, place them sud their children, their country and friend-", under negroes and carpet baggers. They provide for mixed schools, they try to arm negroes to devastate and destroy, they impnso enormous taxes, and threaten still greater. They give heavy salaries, and wasteful pay to CatrrrnHosliiU and so-called Legislators. They inset* -the judgments of men in asking them to elect a military tyrant President of the United States, to enforce over them and their children negro domination and negro equality. They invite foe negroes to l.riug down upon thcinsolrcs the hostility ef every doccnt white man in tbo United States, and Europe, hy attempting to throw into their hands tho control of the Presidency of the United States, thus preparing for n terrible reaction ill this 'country, nnd the whole eivi'* iced world against tho unfortunate negro, who pnts himscll into hostility to the white race of America and Europe. Woe to them an.l their lenders, when i the trial of strength eotues. Tints we see there is no rational ground nr.der heavens fur a Radical to stand on. It takes two thiiij;si to make a Southern Riidienl; the desire of office and present power, or else grent gullibility and facility for being diipuiL The rapid manner in which the whiles generally, and evon tbo better class of mgrwi liavo been quitting the Union Leagues, allows that our Southern people eannot long be fooled. Very aoon thero will be only a few noisy leader* mid office seekers in this Statu on the Radical side, and in the upper Districts, even tlio ofGco corker? begin to ring small, finding as they do, that the Democrats are gettiug to be the strong side as well as the right side, strong hero ut home, strong in tho millions of the North, and right every where.

A* we approached the place, in company with two of the teachers, the blight .sad ohecrful faces and gliateuiug -eyes of the pupil* greeted ue, and -the affection which existed at the cloie of tlie last *eaaion, between teachers end eehotare, showed itself, as the latter ran to reeeive etnbrneea.

Qon. C. instructed the teachers with the information he had gathered, .which were deofded improvements upon the old *3'*tem, and he Imd provided the oe-, cessnry maps, chart**, <fec, llnrefor.
