Though the dis solution was made at my instance, I feel constrained to say that it was not from any lack of prosperity on the part of our joint undertaking; inasmuch as wc have added full 30 per cent, to the eupitnl invested. That is, the TlHKH is worth fully that much more than it was when we started: though passing through the ?lullest part of the year, for any business enterprise. I have thus retired from rtu established and prospering undertaking on the eve of increasing prosperity sim ply aud entirely from reasons of a pri vate nature which constrain me to the belief thnt wc do not suit each other as partners in business. I first offered to buy ; but he having moved his other pa per and office material from Columbia for the purpose of aiding the enterprise did not desire to sell, and I therefore dissolved the partnership and sold to him. Kerpcctfully Yours. Jamas S. Heyward. The Baltimore Convention. The Baltimore Convention has met ftrld' rioff1 0WI5? endorsed the Cincinnati platform arid* j'^tninees but Ifas even gone tb'tlic extent of pledging the Democrat ic vote of the nation at large to their support, by the adoption of the plat form and nomination of the Epberal Jiepubiican nominees, ISorAcp, Giiek. i,EY, for President, and' B. GnATZ Brown for Vice-President. If nnything c'nn be drawn front the enthusiasm and almost complete unanimity of sentiment which accompanied this action of tho National Delegates, certainly v/cy who are suffering under the Usurpation ami tyranny of tlie present occupant of the \1^hite House, have, reason to look lit>pe fully towards the coming election, and look forward to the breaking of our chains of political bondage, as dot only possible hut highly probable. We of South Carolina, who realize the necessity of this change, have, above all our sister States, cause of sulf-gratulation at the'sympathy which was so feelingly displayed for our down-trampled condi tion?at the record of our delegates, who ?? -? -i ?i-i i. J-.-, '^m* first simpl)? endorsed and afterward ftd/rn^ ted, as tlieir own, tlie action of Cincin nati? and (ho proul|nenie, respect and enthusiast bestowed; upon tho eloquent ronuirks'?if our delegate from Charleston, glr. O'O&icW '^rcarjp has the load of our bondage been lightened by the pympathy.of hopeful friends, whose ardent confidence burns almost weirdly upon tho long unmoved storm clouds of our political horizon.

The virtue of our patriots hi rcivardcd.-r? The wisdom of our statesmen is avouohed, in that the interests-of tho.States is de clared to ? he (he interest of the Union? lllfa' boildago of any section ^ declared to tend,to tho bondajgo of tho wliolc.

On our State, politics the action of the Baltimore Convention is destined to have a very decided effect in loosing the clutch es of tho unprincipled men who have used position as an opportunity for plun der and theft. Already we hear a call for reform which one thief makes for the arrest of his accomplice when the officer of Justice is hard at hand?the next step is to turn State's evidence, the one against the other, and the quickest suff ers the least. Some aro committed for Grant, if unprincipled men can be com mitted to any particular party or creed. The next move in tlie political field will he in North Carolina on the fust of August, when wc shall leatlttfcthe fijst practical efTeet of the Greclcy nomina tion. The result of this election will produce more or less impression for libe ral nouifcations in on* State' Republican Convention which meets iu Columbia on the 27tli of this month. An interval of eight weeks then intervenes before our State elections come off"; during which, eleven other States hold- their election for State officers, which it is presumable Will be influenced one Way or the other by tlie action of the national parties. It is in this Staie election that We hope tD find the most material relief, and we have no doubt that there are men in the Republican ' ranks, who, by tho time the campaign is organized fully, shall, by these various elections be brought to "sec light" in the exorcise of such liberality ae docs not necessitate the adoption of the new test rtath devotion to Grant-ism, and who, "seeing light," Will give in their adherence to the iij&ft order of things and lrad a liberal party on to vir tuous reform. We think by that time Governor Orr may be brought to see light,, and his manipulator, our present Presi dent, also, aud Scott be holding special receptions to Democrats or anybody else who will promise to vote for him. Pend ing this condition it becomes us to bide events nud organize, holtlih^ Ourselves ready to vote in phalanx on the best Re publican nominees, and we have eight weeks to work for him or not as seems best, r Immediately after the adjournment of 'the Baltimore Convention, the Confede rate Generals who were in that city start ed a movement which is but a worthy response, to the action of the Cincinnati Convention. It is a call to be issued in a few days inviting a grand reunion of Northern- and Southern Soldiers and officers iu Now York during September. This call'has been signed by many gal lant Southern oommtiudcrs and promises to have a very happy effect on the spirit of both sections, if successful, which wc have no doubt it will be. ^It. is with pfefisure that we place' at j the licad of our columns tho names of* :Jthe Democratic nominees, ^Jlorace Grcc ; ley fb'r President, and B. Grat/. Bro\ui for Vice-President. Under this banner (trW "fiMEa proposes t. go through the campain, regarding i fas the synonym of j all that any patriot can desire. It frreans re-union, peace and general ajp i ncsty, together with a wise and ij# partizan administration of the laws of I our country. ,-?-I A CARD. As will be seen by referring to otir ad vcrtising columns, the partnership here tofore existing between Mr. Heyward and m v.-elf has been brought to a clone. It is my:intention to continue tho publi cation of the Times, fully assured that the good people of Orangeburg and ad joining counties, will rally to the support of a paper which is intended to meet the Wants of the intelligent classes of our cit izens, and one which will (as long as it continues to be published under the pres ent proprietorship) adhere strictly to the path laid out when tho first number of ] the Times made its appearance. The ex perience of the past, and the indications of the present lead to the firm conviction that a brilliant career of usefulness and prosperity awaits the Timms. Mr. Hey ward will still continue to conduct the editorial department; for the present, at least. Our acts shall speak for themselves. Respectfully, FRANK P. BEARD. LETTER FROH CONNECTICUT. - New London, Conn., July 8th, 1872. Dear Timer: Wc are now at New London, the oldest town in Eastern Con necticut; pleasantly situated on the west bank of the river Thames. On the 6th September, 1781, this town was burned ?luring the Revolutionary war, by Bene dict Arnold, and a tall granite monument on the opposite banks of the Thames com memorates that event, and the fearful massacre at Fort Griswold, the same day.1 The weather has been exceedingly, hot the tlmrmomoter n>|igiflgXc9.m T?^io7^^ ' A Imriible outrage was perpetrated, a few days ago, at Montvale, a village not far from New London. A Miss LaPiere, a lady of respectability, aged about 17 years, while passing a dense thicket of j woods on her way to the school-house whew she was accostomcd to teach, wns accosted by a ruflin.ii negro, who by vio lette attempted to overcome and execute his hellish designs upon her. Felled to the' earth by a severe blow from the fist of this ruffian, she gave an agonized scream, which attracted the attention of a traveler who was ruling by. Upon the approach of the rescuer, the demon took flight nnd' escaped amidst the thicket and dense covert of the woods. The neighborhood in which this diabol ical deed was committed is populated by the descendants of Mohegan Indiaus, and in whoso employ were the services of Miss LaPiere, as teacher. Upon hearing of the outrage, a large body of the Mohegans as sembled and immediately instituted search in hope of arresting the culprit and bring ing him to speedy justice; but so dense aud ob?cure were the woods that all search proved in vain. Sentinels were then placed at all the different stations in and around New London, and us soon as night came, t his man of wicked designs was seen attempting to get on the train going to New York. He was arrested, and is now in the hands of the law. awuiling a just retribution. I leave this place on the 11th instant, for New York City. Send my paper to No. 42 West 16th Street, New York. E. J.

D. T. Corbin, of our city : "He pitched into the State. Government and literally tore, it to pieces; denounced Scott, Parker, Chaimberluin and'Moses, as a t hieving ring, and enumerated casc'aftcr case in-which the State had hkzn swind led by them out of thousands of dollars, and - that lie was ashamed to-say lie voted for tUera, and that they belonged to the Republican party, and they must nil be 'hurled from office."

C. 1st.

UABNWEMi. Col. Aiken will address the planters and farmers of Barnwell County, at Sring. town, on Thursday, 1st of August, and at Allendale, on Friday, the 2d. In Barnwell there never was a finer prospect for crops of all kinds; every thing promises well, aud there is no use trying to disguise the fact. 80 far our people have been abundantly b1essed,nnd we have great cause to be thankful.

Chappaqua, N. Y., July 13.?The as semblage of the D6mocrntie Committee and others on the farm of Hon. Horace Grcelcy, to-day, was merely a social gath ering or pic-nic. Greeley conducted the various delegates over his farm in the iforenoon?>and described all its peculiari ties. A bountiful dinner was served at one o'clock, after which Greeley address ed the meeting, consisting of about five hundred people, and said it was a social gathering, having no other purpose than congregating for pleasure, and there were friends from home, from far and near, and he wished the}' would frequently visit him nt his farm. In a private letter to a gentleman m Connecticut, Horace Greeley says: "If| I should be elected, I would treat all those who supported me alike, not asking whether they had been in the past Re publicans er Democrats."
