yfeur*. Editor*?This fitv is called Ih
modern Athens, and probably with in'ifl
more livtert than the so c-xltetl " Am.tricai
Modern Athena." Ilostoa may boast it
claim t<> that title, from it* special ciillivti
tion ol literalura, science, and the mitseii
l'tit hardly from ite external resemblance.?
However the question may he, hh to tin
latter city, Elinlmrt! certainly well rum
that title, so niirr*r?n'-'y omtoeded both, ii
external appearance and the number <
famous men,- philosophers, scientific schol
ara pools, sod histoijaif*. who have lived
and those who yet, reside within the wall
of Scotland's beautiful capital. All of in
are, more or less, influenced in our impres
eicns of a pi ice. by our indi vidmtl sur
rounding*. We had much that was ogreea
bio auirounding- us, on awakening on tb?
bright morning in llie New Ilavely Tem
pfcranoo" Princess Street. The hotel wa<
newly and handsomely fiti.od up, conse<
quenllr was nil clean and pleasant; and Inst
but not least to our slender pocket#, char get
fot everythiag pr'nted on' a placard, ant
all reasonable and cheap. Thus, one dny'i
oxpense in a first class hotel, situated ot
the most fashionable street, was not ntori
than Sil 7.1, specie value, including Uire<
good rucals. Nowhere in the world doc
one get finer breads, fatter beef and niut

than in Scotland. The fool provided ii
excellent iu quality and sufficient in quau
tit v.
The Inequalities of the ground, and tin
marked division of Kdittburg Into the Oh
and tlte New Town, makes the cityj-rosent
from a general view, a highly variegated ntn
pit-using appearance. The modern or New
Town, with its wide streets, fine buildings
and niaguifioent monuments, looks von
beautiful and'imposing, ns s'en from tin
eminence of Gallon Hill, on the cut. Oi
the south of the New Town, divido-1 fron
it by a deep gorge, lies the less regular, bit
perhaps more picturesque. Old Town. Tin
New Town has been l-ni t up ehi-fly sinci
the union of Scotland niut Kngland ; aid tie
fere the middle of but. century it co'th
hardly have been sa d to be started. Tin
Old Town is. thercfo'e, historic F.-lin'uttg
The principal street of this poition of tin
city is High Street, and its eastern eontinti
ntion to ilolyrond i'tiince, is called Gnu--ti
pate. On this street, when Kdinhurg \v?
the capital of Scotland, lived tlie pioin
Scottish uabililv, who frequented the Roy
nl Gntirt.
Naturally Kdinburg Castle 'claimed firs
oor attention. Walking down the hroiu
avenue of IViuccss Street, past the beniuifi
monument to Sir Walter Sett, wo crossed
by flights of stone steps, the deep porg
whlt-lt separates Old from New Town, atnla?
cended the at-ep way to the Castle in tit
south-western prirt of the city. On eiihe
ride of us, gloomy and tall, urn;
and time marked roofs All tlie fort ificn
lions of the Castle still show the signs u
the style of w a I fare, now long ago disused
The draw-bridge over the wide mid d<-c|
fossa. 'he ohl porte-eullis, st'll exist to d<
fend the approach to the t'nstle. From ill
esplanade of the thistle, we had tome tin
views ol the surrounding country. "Mom
Mig," an uncouth looking monster con not
is prominent ill view, on the hatlh tin lit i
tlie Castle. Its ins *?iption tells the rewde
that it wns cast at Alotis Brittany, 1481
burst in 1G8'J, on the eciisioii ot the vi*i
of the l>uUe of York, n't <-r w ill ds J.iun s II

Ocorge IV, in 16-jy, after it had rcfbiiinei
in the Tower td London for oue hitudrei

]' at the eastern end of High !?t., the principal

Old Town, mid is in tile outskirts o! the city,
j j nt the base of Salisbury Crags. We iv re

'?| bed of the Quean, si ill covered with the faded
** j tapestry coverlet once used, and some pieces
1 : of furniture adorned with embroidery made by
? | the fair-fingers of the unfortunate Queen, her
r| work box, not so very different in stylo and
\ ' sise from tunny now possessed v the Indies of
?| Hrecnville. Tlic homely occupations of the
,f ] distal!' uud tupestry work, were tlio constant
| 1 employment, mid of courtly mid royal ladies
! in the olden time, it seems. We saw the small
| 1 room in which the Queen and ltixxio were nt
a j supper, mid liie- secret stone stairway, leading
j into it by which Lord Durnlcy mid his eon*
j spirntors entered, and with rufiian brutality
' despatched t lie poor musician before the Queen

J-'rlloK- of Greenville: Your Committee
haru requested tue to join in this grandcelebratiou,
and I now come to tuako my acknowledgments
for your kindness. While
there arc so many able speakers who arc prosent
and willing to address you, I doiu it my
duty to suy hul n few words to show how profoundly
has this reception stirred tuy inmost
heart.
Tho interests now involved ure greater and
more stupendous than those of the war, for
wo are fi/hting for a free government and for
the constitution given us by our fuihers. Khali
it he permitted lo go beyond our reach without
n mighty efiort to retain and rC establish
it ? This constitution will restore to life great
and pure principles, which the insatiate Radical
has attempted to ignore and destroy. Tho
hope of n brighter and better future must
draw yon together, for the Radical party mean
war?omor, unioioiiling war. ?t? denounce
a? falsehoods nil their assertions uud propositions
to tbo contrary. The Democratic purty
want nOtl desire peace. Wo of the South waul
pence in order that our burnt nnd ruined cities
uiay l>e rebuilt-? pence so that wo may creel
temples to.tbo living tJod. I say again, We
want pence!
These men wbo talk about war used that
war only to obtain position uud to enrich themselves.
These fellows arc trying to. kludlc excitement
between the white nnd colored man,
to set otic against the other, and by so doing
to mnko of tbo colored man the instrument by
which tbey may obtain political ..ggratidizeinctit.
The soldiers who had boeti to the front
and home the brunt of battle, were ready and
williug to receive us as brothers. They had
already extended the right hand of fellowship
i and fraternal nfTccti <n, nnd it had been rcccived
in all sincerity. Past issues have been 1 lined,
and we must look forward to tbo success
of the great Democratic party. These men
have said that wo should coinc back with our
| rights, dignity and honor unimpaired.
The election 1 consider a foregone ovncluI
sion. Stevens, who has been tottering on the
verge of the gruve, has at last fallen in. The
' men who have l.ccn acting "outside of the
I Constitution." have boon doing it only lor the
i purpose of retaining power. They hare held
I it by litic and fraud, and tbo mighty hosts of
the M< itinerary arc marching on from the lakes
to the srulf, gathering strength daily, and thoy
will give us equal lights?right* unimpaired.
The Radicals, on the other hand, claim to be
apostles of peace while holding swords at our
' very tntouts. There arc three kinds of peace.
The first, that emanating from the biotihead,
, that which passes all understanding. Then
there I* the white robed angel, spreading her
wings, and with the olivo ''ranch in her huud,
. showering j"y and prosperity over the smiling
land. The third kind of peuce, that of tliu
kite to tho Jovt?the wolf ty the lamb. This
lust ijt flu* kiiol offered l,v tin, ll^ilkiib I.. 10

Jto said Kentwky has Rirfn the It?B?e?al?
00,000 majority. This i? tho first sun in tbo
oampai^n, and we way any that In no election
bus more enthusiasm been displayed. Seymour
and Ulair arc true Democrat* and true
gentlemen. Tbe popular enthusiasm in their
behalf gfows greater every day, while the
nainca of Grant and Colfax, even at their ratiflcution
meetings, fall flat and atalo upon tho
audience. The truth is that the basis upon
which the Radicals stand cannot last. Their
dntnnahle party cuttuot stand. They have
stricken down ton States of tho Union ; they
have set up the colored voter as their idol;
they have run up taxation from $18,000,000
to $160,000,000 their taxes press upon labor
nnd iudustry until the whole country is groaning
fur relief. But every State in turn will
shftke off* Radicalism, and Pcuusylrania as
strongly opposo tho destructive party as do
the people of Toxas. While the country was
ruled* l>y Democrats, it was prosperous and
happy ; l>ut Radicalism has triumphed at tho
ocat of millions of lives and thousands of millions
of dollars.
llo said that roon after Mosos Iacariot was
olootod Chief Justice be was walking about
the streets of Columbia, where ho was mot by
nn eccentric cltixen, who said to him, "Me-1
thinks I airoady see you and your son marching
off with your carpet-bags." And thoy
will march, fellow citixcns. [Cheers.]
Governor Percy said the carpet-baggers
ooino hero to trick and deoeive both whites and
blacks. II the eolorcd jiooplo want negroes to
govern the country, lot them vote for their color
and try it. If they want Carolina to be
governed by white men they .must rote for
gentlemen, and not for a parcol of thieves.?
Tbo colorutl people disgrace their color when
thoy voto for men like Mackey. Let them, for
God's sake, voto for decent men. When tbo
choice is between a unlive traitor and a forotgn
earpot-bnggnr, which will you, he said, prefer f
Your anawor must be tbnt of the Irishman,''

and tbu scalawag there is no choice,
but If thero wore any difference the o?rpethaggor
would ho more of a gentleman than
the scalawagcrvd traitor. Uovoruer Perry
said he knew a newly elected judge who spelt
July with a G, nnd wo could match him in
Carolina. Thero is no doubt, ho said, of tho
S'icoess of the.Democracy ; tlnty aro sweeping
over tho country like a prairio ort fire.
After explaining tbe Democratic platform
In regard to the national debt. Gov. Perry said
that the bogus Legislature in Columbia had
been in sessiou six weeks, and had done nothing
and would do nothing. Tho contin|

liberty you need. Wo wjll protect you and
will not linnn yon. Indeed, we scorn and despise
any man who would imposo upon a ni>u>

Tho Banlc Fraud Attempted through tho
Legislature.
A Hill has recently purged tho Legislature,
requiring the State to give Hoods to
pay it. full, all the Hill* of th* Bank of the
S'-atr, for which the State is not at ail lia
ble. These Bills have hs.n generally
bought up by a few Hadicn! capitalists, at
a few cent* on tho dollar, and now they
are influencing the Legislature to pay thorn
thu full amount of the face of the Bills. It
is a horefae. I outrage on lb* Tax-payers of
