'.They bare taken with them the health of tho dty, bo that If the fever becomes intensified any farther, ae antlelpated, the suffer ing Will be very great. Ditie more than a suspicion of busineaeia seen on, the streets, aatf the only really thriv ing persons ate the doct.<Sh», druggiuts, undertakere, carriage dilvets and the Western Union Telegraph Company. Moet correspondence is done through the latter medium, owing to the rigid quarantine abroad against mall matter. The proapeot ie gloomy, as we are now within a, few weeks of the business season, nod there is a little hope that the fever will have subsided, by that time. Besides, several towns interest ed In diverting trade from -New Orleans will rigidly enforce quarantine till frost cuenea. No , wonder long countenances are met everywhere on the street, and gloomy forebodings uttered by every tongue. Tbla la the sixth week since the eom- mence/neat' of the femft in- New Orleans. AccOidlDgto '.rjRlon,.there- fore. It to the decisive week—tho one which, shall determine whether It is possible for medical skill to check It or* whether it shall eat out all Us ma terial. Physicians who wont through the epidemics of 1853, 1858, 1867, are of opinion that it la Impoeelble to kill It, and tho reports of this week, so far, indicate than the fever will asaert its own way to the last. Fortunately, the great majority of tho raw material has left, and the panic outside wiilpreveat thaaccasalonof.new fuei. It-is con fined to fhepresent inhabitants. Tho great fear is associated with the period injtejvehtng betweei August 25 and the middle of September, when there Is generally a great weather change, which briflgi the fever to Ito crisis. There are no Apprehensions of a higher mortality, and all the Military and benevolent associations have re solved thgmselvCb into committees for the care of tho sick. In the meantime everything is at a standstill. Steam boats and schooners are tied up, and the quarantine embargo threatens to prevent early shipments of cotton, &c- Strangely enough, persons born here seem to be as susceptible to the disease as others, and the old theory that a man can’t have yellow fever a second time has received a rude shock. Cbil- dred are being taken down In large numbers. * m ' » s, •- }■ Some French,physicians, who are op posed to carbolic acid os a’disinfectant* say the latter, when It is freely used throughout the city, is the cause of the juvenile mortality. Out of the 185- deaths which have occuped during the last week, there were only four negroes. This is accounted for on the theory that the fever attacks the nervous sys tem, and the negro constitution being less lefined than the white, ia less sub ject to attack. It is worthy of note that slnco the inception of the fever tho files have disappeared. This en courages believers ui the doctrine that the fever travels by atmospheric waves, 1 Though not dtdared epidemic, the fever has passed epidemic standard.— The authorities are trying irrigation In the upper portion of the dty, and there was a good flow of liver water In many of tho streets to-dnV. The health board continues the use of car bolic acid as a disinfectant, and lime was to-day scattered throughConstance and other streets in the First District by carts Cf the improvement depart ment. Lime is also freely used around the custom-house. The Hon ard Asso ciation unremittingly continues its work of relief, and many cases of des titution have been discovered by mem bers in vaiious districts. A cose was reported from the First District of a family with several members suffering from the fever, and with aeithet food por money in the house. Tn such cases the association is under tho necessity ofTelievUrgtbe distress- by contribu tions of money sufficient to purchase food. n M 1 WAW5HAMPTON., • tepaoVOuvernor. - W.D. SIMPSON.

Al ready the oo unties in general are ready for.aotlen, and the Committee cannot doubt that the campaign will he as brilliant as brief. Throughout the canvass the Democ- South Carolina will have but one rule of obnduci. The platform of 1876, adopted and leafflrmed in 1878, Is the supreme law of the Democratic party. Hy it the highfest and tho low est ere bound. Jto person, or body of ' persons, other than a State Conven- * lion, San change or modify its wise provisions and patriotic declarations. Within the lines of the platform the Democracy are safe. Outside of It and beyond it, there is no true Democracy In South Carolina. No iaeue not made in the platform and Inconsistent with it can be raised. No issue made in the platform and consistent with It can be ignored. . The platform of the Democratic par ty of Bduth Carolina is at once a his tory and a prophecy. It Is the record of 1 what is past, and tbe'assu ranee of what Is to come. In It are declared Deraoeratic prtnctplee and Democratic practice. The Issue In South Carolina, as made by the Democratic party, is not an issue of face. On the contrary, the objects of the Democracy, In re taining control of the State, are to complete the reform of abuses, to pun ish public criminals, to maintain the purity and ability of the Government fu alt its branches, to lower the rate, of taxation and lessen the burdens im- poecd upon the people, to ensure peace and concord, and, including all vise, tb glVe e<jual and complete protection to evefy pbb&lc and private right of per son and property, in order that the Government, tn the hands of the Dem ocratic party, shall be the Government of no one section, of no one race, of no one class, but of the whole people of South Carolina, without limitation or restriction. * So far as time and opportunity have admitted, the Democratic- party has kept to the letter and in spirit every pledge or promise made in the plat form of The State officers elect ed two years ago are again the candi dates of the 'party. With the same platform and the same candidates holding beneficent possession of every department of the State Government, the Democracy of South Carolina de.- serve success and command It. Vigi lance is necessary. Action and inces sant work are Indispensable. Unity must be had. They who slumber on In false security, they who postpone preparations for the fight, they who encourage nr permit dissension and di vision, forar.y reason or upon any pre text, aro awmuoh the public enemies as the political lepers whom Demo cratic rule drives Into the penitentiary br oht of the State. 1 Malcontents, lag gards, dlaorganizers, shall not pull down the 'Democratic party, although they may multiply Its difflbultiea and make the struggle harder and more degperqte; and, when the ' battle to won, as it shall be, the Democratic parly, for its own sake, will pass sen tence upon any who, not being with us, ate against us, and make them, for all time, political outcasts, desptosd by Democrats of their own race and shunn ed by the colored Democrats who have been tried and have kept the faith. For the white Democrats, the State Committee are sure, no other exhorta- ticra is needed. They know full well that Democratic rfile to worth having and that what to worth having to worth keeping, and will be kept. By the col ored Democrats, os-tho State Commit tee believe, the solid Advantages of an enlightened and hottest government are thoroughly ' appreciated. They have seen andtelt the difference be W.UWIWWJ, uo- tween integrity and rascality, between of At- toft? iMtice Shd partisan rule, The 1 hope is that the colored people. In lar ger numbers than ever before, will march beneath-tho folds of the Demo cratic banner, and so assist the De mocracy la perpetuating the work of Governmental reform and industrial .refeuatioo.

J. A. Miller. On reaching the grounds Selected L found quite a largo gathering drawn togeth er, I have no doqbt, by ibe same In ducement that Influenced me-thectr- tainty of pleasant eoqisty and a capi tal dinner, and in ^one of these ex- poctotlone were they or I disappoin ted. Although op.the shady side of forty I was partloulasty struck with the bevy pf bMutlsBNbjfacted there, and do not wonder that. Several old bach elors there were, If I read their faces correctly, wishing that they were bt>yh again. Their punishment to evidently equal to their sins, aqd as some of them may read this communication, I will return to my description of the day and its exetoises. The morning passed off pleasantly and so rapidly that 1 was surprised when called to dinner, but I went, for I aa*‘ proud of my reputation os trencher man. I enjoyed tbat dJnnor, Mr. Editor, and If my eyes did not deceive me, you did also. Ishail not attempt to describe It, but I will express the hope that the Hagood Dragoons will celebrate their anniversary a few more times before (Jbilttmas. (We hope so too.—Ed.) After dinner the old folks enjoyed their pipes, while the young people repaired to the fine grove near the iAcademy, and, if. nay judgment may, be relied on, any quantity of lovo was made. 1 . At 4 p. m. the Dragoons, numbering forty men. assembled for drill, Capt. J. A. Miller commanding, and execu ted the various manoeuvres of company 'drill in excellent style. After the diill Capt. J. A. Miller marched the com pany in front of the spectators and re turned thanks for the generous Assis tance given by the community, and which had made their first anniversary a perfect success. Precisely at 5 p. m. tho tournament came fff. Thirteen gallant knights entered the lists. The distance to be ridden was 150 Pas time, 10 seconds,- Each knight was allowed three rides. Lest I may sow disagreements among the competitors I nhail very briefly sum up the result of the contests, for some of the knights were single, and as we have anti-law yer and anti-phosphate factions in politics, any indiscretion on my opart might create anti-bachelor «nd anti benedict factions. H. L. Creech made the best time on a single ride and there was a tie between J. C. Hair, G. W. Ray and Willie Rountree in the time of three rides, each making them in 25 seconds. W. H. Hair made the greatest number ot points. About this timo a breve and gallant knight made his appearance, wending his way down the hill, mounted upon ae fine a Durham ox as this' county af fords, and from his speed if concluded that he had started at early dawn. I think from his gait that he belonged to the heavy artillery and the color of his dress and trappihgs of his quad ruped convince me that he was not a light dragoon. In five minutes he rode over thecourse, took every ring, and this was the last scene in the pro ceedings of the first anniversary of the Hagood Dragons. Everybody went home except some ol tho young men who went to the homes of some body else. Iui.kwiu)e. tendered Alfred Aldrich, Esq., for ser vices rendered the dub. A Ccnsidefable amount of local bus- ikees Was transacted, and much (aud- ablqcat&estness was evincsdjn mat ters tending to promote tho success of the Tarty. > ....

Suppose wc allow only three towns of the size of Barnwell to each county, we have ninety.six towns. Sup pose each town contributes only $20. At that rale wc liave $1,920. Is not this some assistance to our fever-stricken friends ? The argument seemed to conclusive. - * The circular is as follows, (which I have obtained for your journal at great pains:) Citizen* of Barmcell: The inhabi tants of New Orleans.,Vicksburg, Gren ada and Memphis are row the victims of that most virulent of all disease;;—the yellow fever. They are crying for suc cor in their deep physical and pecuniary distress, and humanitarians, the world over, are responding to their cries. In this state of affairs can our g&lknt old town afford to be silent and unappreei ativo ? We think not. Therefore we call upon tho citizens of Barnwell to con. tribute each their mite towards the sistauco of our distressed friends. R.
