We hope, however, since tho rains have begun, that ' they will visit every portion of our ] parched country, frequently. I DUSINESS. I Our town for the past week has pre. sentcd the appearance of its usual stagnation. The rain seems to have thrown around us a somnolcscent garment, in the folds of which all lie perfectly content, complacently watching the ceru lean firmament, no longer vexed with anxious longings as to the promise of a shower. The merchants stand about most frequently in front of their establishments, with arms "a-kimbo," searching op and down for a customer. The M. D's. however present a pleasant contrast by the manner in which they ride around, urging their horses into the fastest of slow trots, giving one the idea of an immense pressure of business. The lawyers work silently and incomparative solitude, but many an unfortuuaie finds himself in their web, , U.nrr V>nfr>ro lin thinks that there are ? "breakers ahead." These lawyers uphold the adage, "he that laughs last, laughs best," and doubtless many come to the same conclusion before they ajc polished off in "manner and form" as is suitable to the tenets of these professional gentlemen. Our old town bears the improvements now going on with singu'ar equanimity, not even being startled by the new Post Office in process of construct:on on Itutledge Street, next door to General Kershaw's Office under the supervision of the new appointee, whom the present quarters don't suit, for what reason we do not-know. Taxes, form the most engrossing topic of conversation- and discussion among our citizebs. They touch the most vital portions of the body, viz : the pockets, bit people look in vain therein for the wherewith to liquidate them. It i3 decidedly non eat inventus, with the greater part of them. Many are filing Memorials with the County Auditor, praying that a reduction be recommended, which, we understand, ho has done in several in- a stances. p This is not presumed to be "a fac- c tious attempt" on the part of tax pay- ^ ors, to obstruct the wheels of the chariot of government which rolls on towards p its destiny, in a manner gratify- (J inc f?') to behold. No restive animals are those which form the motive power of the said chariot, but steady going hacks, blind, deaf and broken winded, il Finally, upon a comparison being Y instituted between our condition and I that of out neighbors, we bave come a to the conclusion that we are about as c well ojf'in a material point of view as u an// of them, and therefore, wc wind up a tKii article, by saying, that we are con n tcnty and drink a glass of water to 11 the health of CamdeD, generally, and a ourselves particularly. "LET US IIAVE PEACE." S e On Friday morning last, as we learn p from the Augusta Chronicle & Senti- v nel, the people of the quiet village of B Edgefield were surprised by the arri- ? val of a large body of Gen. Scott's uiilitin, u.nder the command of the notori- p ous" Hubbard, State Constable, the fit p instrument for doing Gov. Scott's dirty ^ work. Our time and space prevent us 1 from giving more than a brief abstract a of the affair.

Some weeks since there was a murder \ committed in the county, and tyo ne- i groes were tho victims. Though no t proof was obtained as to who were the i JL nurderers, still three white men were J irrested by the county authorities upon luspicion and lodged in the jail at Edge- i icld Court House?one of these men an r )ne-armcd Confederate soldier named 0 Lanier. Despite the prompt arrest and c ncareeration of these parties, the ne- t ?roes living around the Court House a vere very much dissatisfied, and were t oud in their murmurs that Union men f vere shot down like dogs by rebel j mshwhackcrs, and the criminals were illowcd to go unpunished. A white scalawag named Eisenberger, the Coro- , ler of the county, took the part of the legroes, and is said to have labored as- a ill t .* J 4a Annca fwAimlA f no nr>P'i I1UUUU0IJ IV waucu bi vumiw vt.v v.wm. Through the representation of this man, ? t is alleged, that four detectives were tent to the county from Columbia to I svork up the case. Some time after all this bad happen- ? 3d, a few thoughtless lads of the village ' isserabled one night, and, after making ' i figure of straw snto some faint rescm- T blance of "old Eisenberger," took the ' :*ffigy out a short distance from the I lown and made of it a jolly good bou5re. When the Coroner was informed 1 if this act of a parcel of boys, he preiended to be very much alarmed, and ;o fear that his lcyal life was endanger- 1 ?d by the machinations of the Ku Klur. 1 Hastily packing up his (raps, he repair- ; id, by private conveyance, to Columbia, c ind poured forth his grievances into c( he willing ear of the State Executive, jov. II. K. Scolt, beseeching that the 'J atter would grant him protection. It c vas then decided, we are told, by the c. jovenor to order out the safeguard of he Stafe, ye loyal (colored) militia.? \rms were ordered to be furnished, and he Coroner once more returned to his v lorne in Edgefield County. Citizens c ii uit* iowu sium u lutv digitus unci uu o cturn ho entered the village one night i it a very late hour surrounded by a r arge body-guard of negro militia, and 1 narched through the deserted streets; t >ut uo encounter with Ku-Klux took t jlace. Like the famous King of Brent- I ord, who, vi ''wi.h full ten thousand men, d da'chcd up ilie hill and hen ma'clicd down s again," ? Siscnberger, after this parade of hissa- j: tie vctrans, left the town, without hav- t ng an opportunity ottered for testing I he mettle of the "Mclish." v A committee of citizens bas been np 1 minted by the people of Edgefield Court r louse to go to Columbia and represent t o the Governor of South Caroliua the t tate of affairs existing in the town, and irotcst against, the manner in which he people of Edgefield are being treat- , d. The Committee left for Columbia , Sunday morning, but the people do not inter tain much hope of success of the _ nission, as one of the State spies also . vent to Columbia on the same train nth the Committee, and will, doubtless , iil Scott full of lies about the thousands ?f Union men, white and black, who , tave fallen sacrifices to rebel hate with- t n the past month in Edgefield County. , Among the numerous evils which , tave resulted to the people of Edgefield . rout this iuvasion of the county by the legro militia, has been the desertion of g he fields by the negro laborers. Many f the planters have employed rcgro laiorers for the year, and contracted to ive them a portion of the crop made nstcad of wages. As soon as the cap- h lire of Edgefield Court Ilouse by the 3 cgro militia was heard of, nearly all t bese farm bands left their employers n nd crowded into the towu for the pur- 1 oso of joining their colored military w ouirades. Many farmers are thus left e igh and dry so far as planting is con P erned, and many of them are without * single hand on their plantations. Nice ti rospcct for crops ahead in Edgefield k 'ounty, certainly! ^ c THE.HEARTH AND HOME. 1 Tl e above presents the title of an jj lustrated Weekly, published in New p 'ork City, by Pettingill, Bates & Co.

A serious and bloody riot occurred n Barnwell County on Thursday last, growing out of the election for township iHicials, held on that day. The scene >f the affair was at a place near the tanks of the Savannah River, known .s the Upper Three Runs, distant about wenty-five miles from Augusta. The ollowing are the main facts, as given n the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel: THE ELECTION. The township was of course inhabited >y two parties, Radicals and Democrats .nd each faction had its candidates in he field. The principal officer to bo ilected was a clerk, and for this posiion the Democrats were running a very espectable gentleman named John S. Jreen, while the candidate of the negroes was a man named Pickens Woodvard, the son of a wcll-to-du-merchant, yho, we understand, had always stood veil in the county, but who, be'mg very jopular with the negroes, suffered his tame to be used on the Radical ticket. Tho election took place on Thursday noruing. aud was held at Nat. Greene's itorc. Of course, as the negroes bad a arge numerical majority, they carried he Township and elected their enndilutc, while Greene was defeated. There verc present at the election, besides ithcr white men, the Democratic canlidate, John Greene, his son, Frank Jrcene, his son-in-law, John Holland, lames Tyler, Wyatt Tyler, and three' ir four others of the same name, Pick ins Woodward, his brother, and W.J. iVoodward, his fatlfer. EOW TOE RIOT COMMENCED After the election was over, and it ras known what party had been sucicssful, a crowd of the white men were tandiug around the store discussing it, n which crowd were the parties above ucntioned. At length one of the Tvers, an ardent Democrat, remarked, hat while he hated very badly his pary being defeated by the negroes, still le attached no blame to the latter for rhat they had done, but the men lie lid blame were the ' d d white calawags who ran on the negro ticket." Vt this remark, A. 1\ Woodward stcp>ed up to the speaker and said that his mother's name was on that ticket > that le was no scalawag, and Tyler mast rithdraw the offensive epithet. The alter declined to make the required etraciion and an altercation between he parties ensued, while their respecive fricuds gathered around. THE MELEE COMMENCES. While the quarrel was progressing ictwccn Tyler and A. P. Woodward, mt before blows had passed, tl.e Hadcal candidate stepped into a crowd rith a drawn revolver in his hand to akc his brother's part. As sooa as his was ohs rved, John firreng. the >cmocratic camlldffu, fell upon floodrard and knocked the pistol from his land. Almost at the same instant A Woodward turned from Tyler, drew lis revolver and shot Joliu Greene, idling hi in almost instantly. Here rohn Holland drew hisoistol to defend lis father-in-law, but before he could rc, Woodward shot him, inflicting a aortal wound. A SCENE OF CARNAGE. The mclce here became general, and t is impossible to give any detailed deception. The negroes retreated from he precinct as soon as the firing coinicnccd, and the field was left to the 'ylcrs, Hollands, Greenes and Woodrards. As fast as the combatants mptied their pistols, the useless weaons were thrown aside and the knife ras drawn and freely used by both paries. Wo learn that as John Holland iy dying on the ground, with the balls rbistliug around bim, he managed to ock and aim his revolver, and shot A. \ Woodwood twice, one of the balls enetrating his back, the other taking fleet in his kidneys, the latter wound, t is believed, being mortal. Frank Ironnn III iu ola/1 Iind fiAVPfolv I rounded and stabbed, with a knife.? inies Tyler, Wyatt Tyler and two or lireo others, were badly stabbed, but lone of their wounds will prove mortal, 'bus closed this terrible* combat, in rhicb otic man was killed outright, two thcrs mortally wounded, (one of whom ias since died,) in which every man eti;nged was, we believe, more or less soiously wounded, and which will carry nouruing and desolation into so many auiilics. CONCLUSION. On yesterday morning, at an early lour, a messenger came up from the ccne of slaughter to this city for the (urpese of procuring a coffin for Mr. ircenc. Later in the day another mescnger came for another coffin?this one or Mr. Holland. We suppose the next ne ordered will be for Mr. A. P. Woodrard, who, we learn, was not expected o live.

The Indians.?Samuel 31. Janncy, he distinguished minister of the So-: iety of Friends, appointed by Prosileiit Grant to ihu .Northern Superin- , cudcncy of Indian Affairs, has written ' a letter from Omaha to a Friend in 1 Philadelphia, which is published in a i late number of the ^Friends' Intelligencer. < Tho date of the letter is 6th month (of 1 June) 18,1809. At that time Friend i Janney had visited but three of the a- . gcncies, those for the Winnebagocs, the i Omahas, and the Pawnees.

The South: Carolina Railroad i Company.?It gives us great pleasure to announce that the negotiations for some time pending in London for the exchange of the pastdue guaranteed bonds of the South Carolina Iluilroad Company for new first mortgage bonds of the company, have been brought to a successful issue. This gratifying intelligence is contained in a cable telegram, dated London, July 17th, received by President Magrath from the Hon. C. M. Furrnan, to wlion the conduct of the negotiations was entrusted. The differences of the South Carolina Railroad Company with tho city of Augusta aud the Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company, wero amicably adjusted some weeks ago, and now that the greatest difficulty of all?the equitable arrangement of the past-due debt ?has-been overcome, the Sou'h Carolina Railaord Conpany will, we trust, find no obstacle in the way of a rapid return to a condition of prosperity and profit. The South Carolina Railroad is the highway of the State. Upon it depends in a large measure our commercial progress and business success. And whether we rpgard it as a private corporation or as a great public work, we have every reason to hope that our brightestanticpations of its future prosperity will be more than realized. The road has had to eucounter many dangers and embarrassments winch arc Known to the management alone; but the worst is nvi-r, iuul. ilie day la last?oppronviiiuy- which will reward the stockholder for years of patient waiting, and at thesame time enlarge the usefulness of the company as the leading feeder of our commerce and trade.? Charleston News. A rabid Radical cotemporary, having in view the Ilayncs tragedy, says: "Can you name a Southern soldier or officer who has been rtiuidrred in the North since the war ? We defy any mun to do this; and yet tlieic are two Southern men in the North for every Northern man in the South. Rut if such assassinations were li rhtly suggested, and when committed, applauded by the Northetn press, and the victim malignantly misrepresented, might we not expect to harvest a crop of assassinations as bloody as that ol the South? Has' assassination become the boast of chivalry 7" The Southern soldiers who went North after the surrender demean themselves as gentlemen, and have ueither broken the laws uorrendered themselves obnoxious to the communities in which they reside. Had they sought by obtaining control of the local governments to inaugurate a reign of terror, plunder without stint, and persecute whoever did not endorse their scoundrdism, violence and I loodshcd would have frequently resulted, as a natural consequence. Men's natures are about tbe i same the world over The passions are I no more under control North than South; | aud too many individuals, smarting under real or supposed wrongs, choosy to become their own judge, jury and executioner. Men in the South who stir up bad blood run the same risk encountered elsewhere. Every deed of blood in tho South finds its fellow in the North. A single issue of a Northern journal frequently cuntaius recitals of half a dozen tragedies committed on "loyal" s)il, tho results either of passion or cupidity. Rut it suits the purposes of Radicalism to invest every tragic affair in the South with a political, significance. The object is to make sentiment in the North. The scheme will no longer wiu. The country fully understands our carpet-baggers and scalawags, and the motives prompting them. It is their death struggle. A year hence, evou the negroes, who have been their trusty followers, will shun them as the p'ague. Every dog has his (lay. They have haa theirs. Mcmphis Avalanchc. Fertimzers.?The Charleston Courier of the 10th inst., contains the following notice: Cotton planters are invited to visit the l'arni at the Etiwan Woiks, of tho 1 Sulphuric Acid and Supor-lMiosphate < Company, about three miles from the | city, to see the cotton produced by their J Fertilizers. Tho Heel were planted on ' V the best informed but the most demor- i alized; the Omahas the most orderly ' aod virtuous, and the Pawnees the most warlike. The last mentioned are less < civilized than the others, but they have one redeeming characteristic. They do i not drink ardent spirits, and will not i allow it to be brought on their roserva- ' tions. Our sober Friend also had his i 1 /* 11 A.? \ A eyes opened to iemaie oeauty, dui sorrowfully records, "I have not yet seen a handsome Indian woman." Nor does i he hold out hopes of immediate good | results from his labor/ among the In- , dians, though ho is confident that by neez, where Noah's ship . jested, and still is upon that mountain ; aud men may see it afar in clear weather. That mouutain is full seven miles high, and somfc men say that have set n and touched the ship, and put their fingers on the part where the devil went out when Noah said ''Benedicite." But they that say so speak without knowledge; for no one can go up to the mountain for the great abundance of snow that is always ou that mountain, both summer and winter, so thatnomau ever weut up since the time of Noah, except a monk, who, by God's grace, brought one of the planks down, which is yet in the monastery at the fuot of the mountain. This must have been the plaok afterward carried off to Constantinople, for three of the doors of St. Sophia were veneered with the wood fioui the ark.

Bcrtrundon de la Brocquir, was shown in Constantinople in 1-32, "a largo stone, in the shape of a washstand, on which they say Abraham gave the angels to eat when they were going to destroy Sodoru and Gomorrah " Another relic of Abraham is preserved iu the Caaba of Mecca. The original Caaba was of radiant clouds, sent down from Heaven at Adam's request as a representation of the Paradise he had lost.? On Adam's death this was removed, whilst another of the same form, built of stone by Seth, was destroyed iu tbc Deluge. Iahmacl, by tire command of God, rebuilt the Caaba, assisted by Abraham. "A miraculous stone served Abrahatu as a scuifold, rising and sinking witb him as he built the walls of tbc sacred difico. [t still remains there, an estimable relic, and the print of the patriarch's foot is clearly to be perceived ou it by all true believers." In a coi ner of the exterior wall of the Caaba is a stone held in great veneration by the Mohammedans. Some say it was one the precious stones of Paradise; others that it was Adam's guardian angel, changed to stone for not being moro watchful. Anyhow, it was brought to Abraham and Ishmael by the Angel Gabiicl?a jacinth of dazzling whiteness then, but now as black as ink, from the touch of sinlul men, and only to recover its purity at the Day of Judgment. If we are to believe the Mohammedans, they are in possession, likewise, of the stone of Jacob's pillow?the rock of the Sakrah, in the Mosques of Omar, at Jerusalem?but the real stone, as everybody knows, is in Westminister Abbey.? Cornhill Magazine. Tiie Iowa Democracy in the Field.?The Iowa democracy have had a State Convention from which they have proclaimed their State ticket and their new platform. In this new platform they declare that they view with alarm the unscrupulous majority in Congross ; that they want a reform in our national banking system, and look to its ultimate abolition; that they are opposed to a high protective tariff, and to military commissions; that they demand no more, and will submit to uo less than the settlement of the Alabama claims according to the recognized rules of internatiourl law (a sort of leather and pru nulla resolution;) that they are in favor of economy, retrenchment and a reduction of taxes; that the Maine Liquor Law is a disgrace to the statute books of the State ; and that (and here we get at the main idoas of the Convention) a national Jolt i-; a national the 22nd of April, and the forms on c many of the plunts exceed eighty j.and i on one plant one hundred and sixty-two < wore counted. The attention of vititors t isparticularly called to the-fact that the i Eiiwau Fertilizer, No. 1, which consist i af Super-rhosphate alone, shows finer < uotton than No. 2, which is mixed with t Peruvian Guano ; and also than that portion which has been manured with i Peruvian Guano alono. i ANCIENT RELICS. ! We way not perhaps be surprised t when told that the red earth from which 1 Adam was made is still pointed out both ' it Hebron and Jerusalem; but it is somewhat startling to be assured bj Sir John t Maundrell, that his skull was found at i Golgotha. On the way to Baalbec, i Maundrell mentions the tomb of Abel, i said to have given the adjacent coun- 1 try in olden times the name of Abilene. 1 The tomb is thirty yards long, and yet i it is believed to have been just propor- i tioned to the stature of him who was I buried in it. The men in those days, i and the women, too, must have been J giants indeed. The tomb of Eve, at i Jedda, Barton tells us, is two hundred ] paces long. That of Seth, on the slope I of Antihbanus, is sixty feet in length, i "It would have been twenty feet long- < er, but the" prophet Seth, who came here preaching to the people who worshipped cows, was killed by them, and was hastily buried, with his knees doubled up uuder his legs." Noah's tomb, on the opposite side of the valley, is one hundred and twenty feet long. By the time of Joshua the human race had begun to degenerate. His tomb, near Constantinople, is only thirty feet long. Of course Sir John Maundrell -has something marvelous to tell us about Noah's ark. lie speaks cf a mountain nailed Ararat, but the Jews call it Ta mrse, and that whilo we favor the puvnent of our present indebtedness aclording to the striot letter of the conTact (meanang greenbacks) we would . ather repudiate the same than see it nade the means for the establishment >f an empire upon the ruins of constiutiional law and literty. Here we have repudiation fenced ibout with conditions and contingencies^ jut the word is there, and unless Congress at the approaching session shall lo something with our abundant iejources to lighten very materially our burden of taxw, and to open a wayr visible to the naked eye, for an early extinguishment of the national debt, we shall hear this dreadful word repudiation more distinctly and more widely pronounced by the democracy than they jpeak it now. The Iowa democrats looking evidently to the square issua,, by and by, of repudiation; and at the ' same time they appear to have given up the battle on "die almighty nigger,'* for a resolution offered m the Convention oq the fifteenth amendment was laid on the table. In no two' States sofar do the democrats agree upon their platform fur the future; but on- the mo a! ll I - T.:_ J ii-jjr if uusiiuu tuuj aruj, uy a muu ui natural law of gravitation, drifting to a common ground; and. this general movement will lose or gather strength according to the folly or wisdom of the party in power in the management of the great money question. New York Herald. A New York paper gives the follows ing melancholy account of what occurred to a young lady who experimented with patent hair dye. A painful catastrophe has occurred in New York. A beautirul damsel, with all the charms of maidenhood, unfortunately had black hair. Female vanity and. Nib'.o's Theatre taught her that blonde would be more attractive, so she- rushed .0 the dye pot. Tho artist was engaged for 5100, half in advance. One side >f the turbulent da:k hair was smoothed iato golden ripples, whrn the hair dresser, to increase his profit, resorted to inferior drugs. The effect was disastrous. Purple and strcked. and trrev and burned, and. indeed. , t* uttcly ruinous, was the last half of the professors work. There remained foe the broken-hearted'semi blond, only the poor cousolation ofsuing fof damages. The Coming. Chinamen.?The London newspapers contain correspondence from Canton stating that preparations are making there for wholesale emigration to the United States on the part of the masses, who are but too eager to embrace any oppoitUDity to gel awuj from their mandarins and the bastinado. One of these writers says there is one caution to which the authorities of the United States would do well to give " fheir "attcnibom^tfiey-must keep the whiskey-bottle from their new subjects. Hitherto this has been done with tlio most satisfactory results ; aud if it is not done now, we are warned that weshall get rather a bad bargain, a drunken Chinaman being about us hard a coseas a whiskey-drinking Indian. IIowSmall Expenditures Count. Five cents each morning. A mero trifle. Thirty-Gve cents per week.? Not much, yet it would buy coffee or sugar for a whole family. 818.25 a year. And this amount invested in a savings bauk at the end of each year, and the interest thereon at nix per cent, computed annually, would in twelve years amount to $1)70. Enough to buy a good farm, iu the West. Five cents before breakfast, dinner,, and supper; you'd hardly miss it, yet 'tis fifteen conta a day; 81.05 per week. EDtugh to buy a wife or a daughter a dress. $51.60 a year. Enough to buy a sma'l library of books. Invest this as. before, and in twenty years you would have over $2,000. Quite enough to buy a good house and tot. Ton cents each morning; hardly worth a second thought; yet you can buy a paper of pins on a spool of thread. Several yards of muslins. $36.50 in one year. Deposit this amount as before, and you would have 81,340 in twenty years; quite a song little fortune. Ten ecnts before each breakfast, dinner and supper?thirty cents a day. It would buy a book for i'ic children. 82.10 a week; enough to pay for a year's subscription to a good newspaper. 8109. 29 per year. With it you could buy a good melodeon on which your wife or daughter could produce sweet music to pleasantly while the evening hours away. And this amount, invested as before, would in forty years produce the desirable amount S12,000. Boys, learn a lesson. If you would be a happy youth, lead a sober life, and be a wealthy and influential man?instead of squandering your extra change, invest in a library or a sauings bauk. If you would be a miserable youth, lead a drunken life, abuse your children, grieve your wfie, be a wretched and despicable being while you live, and finally go down to a disbonerable grave ?take your extra change and iuvest it. in a drinking saloon. Turrots live to a wonderful age. A. gentleman of New York City has a parrot which has been in his possession for upwards of forty-five years.
