Tea Party.
TTe are requested to call attention to
Ihe fact, that the Tea Party for the benefit
of the Presbyterian Church, comes off
\his evening.
The ladies of that Church have
<adnpted this method to assist in carrying
out a most worthy object, and we
'hope that our citizens will testify their
appreciation of their zeal and energy
by extending to them a liberal patronfcgeV
The price of admission is only 10
vents, ' but we expect if any one has
more than that, our lady friends caD
easily givo its value for it.
Let all remember then, to go to tho
"Town llall this cveuing at 7 o'clock,
-carry all the money they can spare, and
give the Tea Party a trial.
On Sunday morning last tho solemn
1 * i~ An.Anw AF Ar/)nintnrr

hj a large congregation, in the Baptist
Church. The Presbytery consisted of
Rev. J. L. Reynolds, D D., Rev. J.
E. Rodgers and Rev. A. K. Durham
An appropriate sermon was delivered
by Rev. Dr. Reynolds. J. W. McCurry
and J. R. Goodale were t hen presented at J
the altar, and solemnly set apart by
'prayer and the laying on of hands by i
the Presbytery. The prayer was offered
by Rev. Mr. Durham, the admonition
to the Deacons by Rev. J. E. Rodgers,
and to the Church by Rev. Dr. Reynolds.
At night Dr. R preached to a
very large and appreciative congregation.
It was expected that he would ,
remain with us for several days, but his
duties at the State University required
lis immediate return to Columbia, and
he left on Monday morning. The ser
vices on the occasion will long be remembered
by many of the congregation.

Sad Accident. *
On Thursday last, after our paper
had gone to press, we learned that Mrs
Joy, of this town, had received by
telegraph, the painful intelligence of
the death of her son Charles, and the
serious injury of one of her daughters
by an accident on the Greenville and
* niiiinimi
. We copy from the Phoenix of Friday,
the following particulars of the ca.-u*lty:
The down passenger train over the
Greenville and Columbia Railroad met
With a terrible accident, yesterday,
nbouttwo o'elick, twelve miles above
Golmobia, and two miles from Cedar
"Creek, by the breaking down of a trestle.
The locomotive pa&scd over safely,
but-the baggage, second class and
two passerger cars, were precipitated
to the ground?a distance of fully 25
feet. One passenger train remained on
the track, and another was upheld by ,
the wreck of those in the chasm. The
crash wag terrible, and the injury to
life and limb truly fearful. Mr. A. J.
Haltiwanger and two others who were (
unhuit, immediately started to Coluui. I
bit to communicate the fe-irful intclli- ,
pence, aod as soon as possible, a train
was dispatched to the scene of the disaster,
President Bush and Supcrinten- 1
dent Wore accompanying it. ADouc
12 o'clock last night, the relief train
returned and a heart rending sight it
presented?dead and wounded lying in
close proximity. The following is a list
of the killed, as well as those who were
seriously injured: i
Killed?Mrs. Fogartie, of Charles- I
ton?who was on her w?y frotu Ander- 1
son with her family; Charles Joy, of
Camden; Grace Montague,'the faitl.ful
stewardess; Minerva Parr, a colored
woman, formerly of FuirGeld.
Fatally Injured?Stephen Smith, of
Newberry; Hutson Lomax, colored Senator
from Abbeville.
Seriously Injured?A Barnes, of this
city, express messenger; conductor, G.
E. Isaacs; Col. James Haigood; Miss
E. Joy, of Camden; Maj. LoH Hill.
A great many were slightly injured,
few of those on board escaping without ,
cut or bruise. It w: s truly Providen*
tial that so few lires were lost.
The trestle was considered perfectly
.vi? safe, having been examined but a few
* -v dayt ago. It was more than 100 fectj
in length. Superintendent More remained
at the break, to push forward

Bash and his officers did every thing
in their power to ameliorate the suffer,
inga of the wounded.
The same paper of Saturday, says:
The woaoded are doing as well as could
be expeeted. Mr. Isaac's wounds are
severe,; hat are not considered danger,
oas. Senator Lomax aud Mr. Smith '
are still alive, bat little hopes are expressed
of their recovery. Col. Hai- ^

agent, (recently employed in the post
office,) had his leg amputated yestsrday.

face waa badly cut. Further investi- 1

car broke?thixa throwing tho. car off
the track?the trestle gave way, <"
and the othor cars fell through. The ' a
trains are running as nsoal?passengers i
being transferred at the hreak. James;
A. Hojt, ??*, o( Anderson?who wax c
#
on board the unfortunate train?gives "!
the following information: ' ?r
The accident cncurred at Cedar
Creek trestle, in 200 yards of the bridge j
over 'Cedar Creek, at half-past 2 o'clock
P. M. The engine passed oyer safely,
and when the weight of the entire
train was upon the trestle, that structure
gave way, and precipitated the "
baggage car, second class passenger
coach, occupied "chiefly by ladies trad
tbeir attendants, was perforce thrown
into the wreck, and those in the front '
part of it were buried beneath the rubbish.
The sufferers by the accident j
were mostly in the second class car, and
the . foremost passenger car, although
four or five persons were injured in the
ladies coach.
The engineer had slacked up to cross
over the bridge, and was just beginning
to increaso the rate of speed when
the crash came. But for this fact, the
1089 of life and limb would have been
fearfully increased, as the traiubadl,
been running at the rate of fifteen ;
miles an hour, ana oenina utiic. jn |
less time tlian it takes to record it, there
was a scene of indescribable suffering
and agony. Anxious, inquiring faces i
amohg the unfortunate, and shrieks
for help among the wounded, revealed
a terrible scene. Those who escaped
injury were at once rescued trom the
iltbri*, and the work began of extrica- ;
ting the dead and wounded. The men
were cool and calm io the discharge of
their duty, and the women behaved no^
bly. Every assistance was almost instantly
rendered to the sufferers, and 1
all united in alleviating the pangs of
the maimed and dying. (
Dr. 0. B. Mayer, of Newberry, Was ,
the only physician on board, and actively
engaged his valuable services for the
relief of those most in need. He was
without means, however, as there were
no remedial appliances at hund, and
there was no dwelling in the immediate
neighborhood.
The accident might have occurred at
any time, as the trestle was positively
dangerous, according to the judgment i
of well.informed persons whose attcn- ,
tinn had been previously called to it.
The train could not have been so heavy
as many freight trains passing almost 1
daily. About one hundred and twenty
persons were on board the train, and it 1
is miraculous that so few were woilnded
or killed. None realised the danger
until all was over, and there never was
Buch a fearful scene perhaps in which
the participants aotcd so deliberately
and with such apparent presence of
mind The chasm was not oVct twenty
feet deep, nor more than forty feet
wide, and into this space was ushered a
mass of human beings, covered by the
falling timbers and particles of the
breaking cars.
Messengers were despatched to Columbia
at once, and walked the entire
distance, about twelve miles. A train
went to the relief of the sufferers, as
stated yesterday, as soon as it could bo
wot ready, and at 11 o'clock the welcome
sound of the whistle announced
thcji^wsjo^tlm eager watefrflrfl that "
The remains of Charles Joy were
brought home on Saturday evening, and
on Sunday the funoml services took
place at the Methodist-Church, after
which they were followed to their final
rcslintr place by a large concourse of
friends, and interred in the family
burial ground.

Sudden Death; *
Mariatu Champion, a colored woman,died'
very suddenly on Thursday morning
last. About 7 o'clock she went to
n neighbor, for fire, and was in her usual
health and spirits. Shortly after her
return home she was found dead, lying
on a pile of wood near the fire place.
She was very old, probably ninety years,
a woman of cxc< llent character, and 1
had the good will and respect of our
citizens, nearly all of whom knew her.
The Fair.
The South Carolina Agricultural and 1
Mechanical Society held their annual
Fair in Columbia last week. It was* 1
not our good fortune to be present, and
have to rely upon the reports of others. 1
The correspondent of the Charleston
Courier says it was a complete success,
which causes tho prosperity and the
future welfare of South Carolina to
loom up beforo us with such brilliancy
as to cheer our hearts amid our defeats,
Radical Clemency.
A crazy womun, name unknown, was
brought, we understand, before one of
the County Commissioners, and he requested
to send Iter to the asylum. He
demanded to know whether she, or
they who had charge of her, hud the
eighty ?ix dollars necessary for her half
yearly contribution to that institution,
as the county had no funds, and the
Board of Regents required the aforesaid
sutu in advance. Upon being told
that neither she nor tbey had that ;
sum, the Commissioner informed thera
that the Couuty Commissioners could
jo nothing for her. Such is the manner
in which the deluded colored peo
pie are treated by those who are put
ay them ir fat offices. Where is the
bounty Treasurer aod his taxes? Like
>ther vast bodies, he probably moves 1
ilowly.

The Relent Con Terence in Colnmbia.
,y\
The defeat of South Garotina by the
foreign adventurers who'fltfest the high:
places of the State, had been aoticijaa*ted
b? the true citizens, struggling'(o
behalf of gdod government; some time
boforvth'e election, and in view of the
chaos of views likely to ensue, of the
irritation necessarily resulting from the
complete carrying outof the election la^r?
that most monstrous end iniquitous system
of fraud, tyranny add corruption?
of that sense of injury and indignation
natural, Under the disdainful rejection
of the overtures presented to the colored
people, to accept honesty, truth, intelligence
and virtue, instead of dishonesty,
falsehood ignorance and vice?of the
incendiary appeals to passion and prejudice
constantly made to benighted
and volcanio minds by new adventurers
havihg no interest in the State savl to
despoil her?of the arrogance, presumption
and violence of many of oni
misled colored peoplo, tlicir determination,
under mad and irresponsible teaching,
to carry on a struggle of race
against race?it was determined to hold
a council of the Executive Committee
of the Union Reform Party cbd representative
men from every county of the
State, to guard against the evils of irritation
on the one hand, despair on the
other?to protect our people from
themselves and from their enemies.
That conference met in Columbia on
Friday evening, llth instant; some
forty of the best men of the State, representing
by delegated uuthority all
sections of the Stdfte-^-iUen who had
represented thc'peoplc in a better day,
in many a council chamber and on many
a well fought field, from Gettysburg to
the Mississippi?wise and saddened
sons of South Carolina; but they were
earnest men, embued with a sense of
their responsibilities and trusts, and
therefore neither phrenzied to senselct-s
and spasmodic Violence, nor puisicd'to
despair.
As wo gazed around upon those
noble faces, we saw ljigh and calm purpose
and fixed resolve* - Wo saw many
there who, we know, feared God only,
and loved the "old land," and we doubt
not many of ihcru had bowed themselves
* - ri!_ ]
down io iaim anu suuym ms vu-usui
and invoked His blessing on our con*
sultations.
The scene revived a meniory of many
historic councils which desperate Stale
affair, prec'pituted by tyrants, have, in
the world's history, rendered necessary;
and the rivi^| likfnrrr : I?--?* ?
ITBTious hours of tho long winter's
night passed away and the intenscncss
of thought, purpose and patriotism
lifted every mind above individual
views, projects and feelings, merged all
io the welfare of the State and g*ivo
assurance of the coming d.iwn.
The conference woe secret in its ses}i
sion, as was necessary and proper, but
is not so as to its results.
It fully endorsed all that had been
done, and stamped the course of the
Slate with ' nulla vat ir/ia relrorxum."
It recognised the verity, truth and
consistency of the positions of tho peop.c
of the State in '68, "that the colored
citizens formed au integral part of
the body po'itic," and in 1870, chat
"the vast changes in our system of government,"
&c., "require that they be
regarded as accomplished facts having
the force and obligation of law.
It professed to repent nothing, to
withdraw nothing of principle, policy
or promise.
It yet recognized all responsibilities
of the white race to the colored people
of the State, and n< w in these
quiet hours, with no candidates in the
field, withdraws no pledge made in the
approach, or midst, of an exciting canvas*.
It pledged, to the extent of its ability,
for the people it represented, protection,
care and advancement to the tried
colored citizens who haijl preferred duty,
good givcrnmcnt and gpneral interests,
to party spoil?, insidudus artifice, incendiary
prejudice and passion and the
dangerous and destructive policy of
race antagonism.
n .. . ho
Tt phdged justice to all, and yet in
vitcs all colored citizens to join in the
contest, njver to be ended but with
success against tyranny, fnud, cormotion
and vice?but itdid.also deter
mine in view of the mad adherence
given by the cdorcd raco to deaig'ning
adventure , of the scornful repulse
given to earnest, true and well meant
sdvnnees of the white race?these
advances ever prompted, by an anxious
dcsire Tor 'he good ofboth mees?of
.

?of their too frequent lawlessness and
violence?that if was idle, futile, unlignified,
unmanly and hurtful further
;o coax, fawn upom, or db has sometimes
>eeo done, cringe to those who will to
>e the victims of their betrayers.
It further determined that it was inlispen?sible
that the party of peace,
rder, decenoy, general prosperity and
;ood government, embracing every
atriot, should bo perfectly and thorughiy
organized, to preserve the fast
ecaying larfd'towks, to-take ndfantag/

We think the people cf the State
may remand their' aftcritiorr arid energies
to suffering private pursuits, full, of
hope, energy and confidence, relying
upon the facts that, spite of our chnotic
condition, the intelligence, virtuo and
patriotism of (he people ot South Caro
lina is yet "a power in the land;" that
wise Conservatism and unflinching firm- |
ncss will secdre us peaccabd protection
in the present and the blessings of

Despair is the craven's refuse, and
has no place in the policy recommended
by the coofcrence, all which will soon
commend itself to tho consideration
and approval of all patriotic citizens.
Radical Justice.
Very properly, the Board of State
Canvassers of the election, gave certificates
to the Reform Candidates in Chesterfield
and Spartanburg.
The Rev; R. J. Donaldson, *ith all
his stuffing, could Dot change the result
in Chesterfield, nor could the thrown
ing out of two boxes with heavy Reform
majorities in Spartanburg. Hence tire
decision of tbe Board. They did but
their duty, and becanse Reform journals
do not praise them for doing what
they were bound by oath to do, they
are tbld that they cannot see . any jusLice
in what radicals do. We have
never heard befoffej the doctrine that
men should be praised /or doing their
duty, and therefore liept silent on the
subject, leaving the fawning and fulsome
fiattcry to those who ate acctistomcd
to bestow it.

The Political Conference at ColUm...
. bio. ,\n A
conference of' representative men
from various sections of the State was
held in Columbia, according to appointment,
on Friday night last, beside*
the resident members of the Executive
Committee of the Reform parry, there
were present a number of substantial
citizens who had made themselves acquainted
wifh the drift of public opinion
in general, as well as with the de-.
sires of the people in the counties in
which they live
The object and purposes of the conference
having been explained by the
chairman, each member of the confer'
encc was, in tarn, inrited to express his
views. This was followed by a general
discussion of the political condition of
the 8t?te, the result being a disposition
to indicate for adoption h line of policy
which, it is hoped, will bo found acceptable
by all our people. That policy
will develop itself as rapidly as circumstances
admit, but we may stale, by
authority, what nro its leading arid
most important features.
The conference gave no hint, and had
evidently no thought, of receding in any
way from the recognition of accomplish
cd facts which was the foundation of
the Reform movement. It was assumed,
and so expressed, that those who
supported the Kelorni party in the canvass
now ended had accepted its platform
in uineerrtv and nood faith, and
had no dishonorable purpose of breaking,
in the hour of defeat, the solemn
plodges which were expected to smooth
the way to victory. Tlicro was, also,
an nnequivocal determination to support
and encourage the colored men
who, by their conduct at the recent
elections, had proved, at once, their
manliness and honesty, of intention.?
The conference. also:, made it> man it est
that a cordial greeting would be extended
to every colored man who, in tho
futnre, should array himself against t he
unprincipled adventurers who seek their
own fortune in the ruin of the State.
An ample cons deration was given to
the subject of the f auds pmpeuatcd hy
' the Radical party at the State elections,
and measures were taken for bringing
all offenders, as fur as possible, before
the proper civil tribunal.
It was deemed necessary that the
people should continue to be organized
throughout the Sfute, but, at the same
time, the conference, as one man, declared
its deserimnaiiou to use every

?~? T>trrW?fct Senator;"*":
There are at least half a dozen candidates
.fer tile seat1 in -the Senate of
the Uuited States to bo made vacant
by the ttfptra'tTom, in March riextj of
the term of office of SfcnatorT. J. Robertson,
who is himself a candidate for
re-election. The aspirants fuf senatorial
honors are already mai^hnlling their
clans and counting their forces-. Now
is the time when old gTuduca are forgiven

candidates smile sweetly on their political
opponents who may, by godd lie!
have influence with a Conservative
member; and by the 22bd instant, when
the session of the Gebernl Assimbly
begins, the whole bevy of disinterested
patriots will be ready lor a snort ana
decisive campaign.
The hard running is expected to be
made by Messrs Chamberlain, Ncaglc
and Cardozo. Mr. Chamberlain is the
Attorney General of the State, and, as
the late political canvass proved, an
adroit arithmetician-. His address and
mannefa are good, and, ib ability, he
is one of the foremost tbeb in the Hadieal
party. Mr. Chamberlain knows
the value of the negro vote) and, if we
are correctly informed, has gone jj*rdat
lengths of late to proVr hi? high appreciation
of the hative eloquence of tinAfridan

These three bahdid itcs?^Chamberlain,
Cardosd' and ' Neagle?are expected to
divide the legislative vote, and, when
their frierids ai-e exhausted, Chief Justice
Moses may be trotted out, as a
compromise candidate, and unite sufficient
votes for his own election. Mr
Ransier, the Litutonant Gdvernor elect,
is also said to bd a candidate, hut it
will probably be cdnsidiJred that he has,
even for a dolorcd man, honors enough

It will be an interesting fight, and
is likely to load to what a sensational
newspaper would call "highly startling

Another Outrage in Sumter.?
A private letter irom a rcliabb* gentleman
o! Sumter, dated November 10th,
siys: "An armed band of twenty five

set fire to his barn and bumt it
to th3 ground. The barn contained
some six or eight hundred bushels of
corn and other provisions, besides other
property. Mr. Wilson saw the ruffians
at their work but was powerless to
prevent th<>m. The on'y reason that
can be imagined for this outrage is,
that it was done in tctnliation for the
