' GR ATZ BROWN. The Results in, North Carolin a Chcci'ing. Now that the excitement of the politi cal conflict in North Carolina is over, it will be well for us, calmly and deliberate ly, to survey the whole field and estimate the practical results." By so doing, we will sec clearly that, the Democrats, instead of sustaining a defeat, have really achieved a substan tial victory. Suppose for instance that we take the Republican statement that Caldwell has been electee}' by a majority of 1500, al though tut; official anxou.vcemf.xt has not keen made. In tho Presidential election hi 1808 Grant carried the State over, Seymour by 12,1:10 votes. In tho'samo year Holden, Republican, was elected Governor over ]\Vorth,Dem ocrat, by a majority of 18,041. Again in 1870, when the question was "Convention" or "No Convention," the Republicans- carrlc'd the Stute against Convention by 9,240 majority. The Republicans thought it essential for the future success of Grant that they should sustain1 the majorities of 18(18 ; it is impossible, therefore to conceal their disapppintmprit at seeing, their im menso majorities of 12,000 and 18,000 molted av.'h'y to the heue i'kohaiui.ii v oil 000. But besides these enormous Democratic gains sirijeo 1808, the Democrats have now elected fivo Congressmen, and the Republicans only three; and the Demo" erats have also a handsome majority in tho General Assembly, which ensures them also a Democratic Senator in the place of John Tool a very objectiona ble Radical. When v,"j consider that these encour aging results were accomplished in oppo sition to tho whole machinery of the Fed eral Government, tveiklcd by the despot Grant, in litter disregard of every prin ciple of freedom and justice, the man who desponds deserves to breathe forever the polluted atmosphere of Radical corrup tion and slavery. Wc believe (irmly that if tho Liberals gain in the future in the ?am'e proportion as tho Democrat.-; in North Carolina, J$ '5-1 who hav.o now espoused their cause, Mr. Grccly will bo elected President by a majority hitherto unknown in the history of lh<j Unib 'i Stales. next Stat&'whieh htisj n goner iion is Vermont) On Septempor 3d. 10 Republicans rmve^coramitte? themselves to Grant and his fortunes, in consequence Of which a very* Itlfge* ele ment has split off and espoused the Libe ral cause. The Liberal Republican find Demo catic Conventions met 'mit'lile^saine day; and agreed upon a joint-ticket. This combination is a new thiug in Vermont, and time alone can tell what, it'will bring forth. The State, however, has-always been .overwhelmingly. Republican, tlrld it would be almost a miracle for. the ver dict to be changed. Six days ..tier Vermont, on September flth, the Maine elections take place. Here too the Republicans Were far ahead in 1868 find tho Liberals .'-trill, litt Ve a lurgc majority to ovcteome. The next States which are to speak after Maine," arc Pennsylvania/ Ohio, In diana and Nebraska, which hold clce tiods on October 8th. The New York World says that -'-'at! least two, if not three' of theso (four) States arc alftiost certain to go against the Grant party. Orangehurg AgHdtlttiirai Society. HOUSING MEETING AND REFUKgrniNO TIME. On Saturday August lOth this Society held a meeting over the Engine House, at which many interesting subjects were discussed. We can only mention a few of the most important! The question Was asked, "What is the present state of the cotton crop, as com pared with last Vear?" Thirty-three answers Were given as foil owe ? Kqdid 11. Heiter by* ? 8. Less by h 8. Kot as good G. Also, which pays best early or late cotton planting? A large majority decided in favor of early planting. The Corn crop this year was thought better than last yoan Undordrainngc was discussed, and thought beneficial to tho land, by those who lmye tried it. After the discussions Were over, the Society repaired to Andrews Factory building to enjoy a refreshing lunch given by the worthy President Dr. Barton. After the keen appetites of all present were somewhat satiated by the bountiful provisions before them, the treat of wit, humor and .sentiment was opened by Dr. Barton in a short speech calling upon Capt. Ja?: F, lzlar to do his talking. Capt. Izlar took the stand in good hu mor, although it Was evident that he was very much averse to being drawn so abruptly away from the pig subject, and other good things on the table. In fact be was fo much carried away with the pig question that his mind seemed involuntary to drift back to the scenes of childhood, and lib took up the familiar nursery rhyme "This pig went to market, this pig stayed at home, &c," as the text of his speech. And a capital text it proved too, for by it, be lashed, in the most humorous style, those who I had been delinquent in their duties. He then, at the request of some of the members, gave a very interesting description of his recent visit to Cliappa rj??', and tho successful results of Mr. Grcelcys system of drainage. Mr. I/.ltirs speech was replete with pleasant sayings, and really was the speech of the day. In concluding be called ttpoli Coloflel Tims. Oliver, who ho said would do the rest of the talking. Col. Oliver, however, said that the gentleman had mistaken his intentions, si l ? * I begged to be excused from a speech. Cnpt.J[I#go Sheridan waschen luB--j tily called for. j Ho said timt he was eiek, hui in spUbj of his sickness ho made a speech. IL> differed1 'vfttii Cnpt. Izlar as to ?$Ir, Grce* ley having ttf? best syBtem of drainage^ for he belieVecl tile people of Orangey burg could* riot' ?b" beaten in that lihra judging by tno manner in which they; drained tho tables p? their contents, both substantial and liquid. "* Mr. ,Gco.S. S! urer was then called lor^ who excused himself1 ih a few remarks. S. R. Mollienamp was next called up oni He lauded the occupation of thif farmer'above all others, aiid Urged the*' importance of organization and combina-* tion for mutual advancement, and prol tectioii from external encroachments and impositions; and concluded by paying t? tribute to the Orangeburg Agricultural* Society. Samuel Dibblo, Esq., was next called upon but excused hlrftsclr. Very instructive and clttertrtluhig* speeches wore also made in turn by dipt.* T. K. Legare, Cob Paul S. Felder, Hur* pin Riggs, Esq., Mayor Briggmnnn and L. R. Beokwith. We arc sorry that th<& waut of Mont In our columns prevents us from giving accounts of their speeches. | The social t mnpany Were now kept in* a state of constant mirth and merriment, until tho hour of parting, by a series of thc most amusing anecdotes from Dr.<] Goodwyn. Cob Felder, Capt. Murray Robinson? Capt P/.lar, and Capt. Sherir dan, Which the want of space prevents us* ftom publishing, and even if wo had tho space, we think they could never be cuv joyedi as well as, when coining viva voce We heartily enjoyed this enter tain-, ment. of the Agricultural Society and hope that it will long live to repeat,] the like. - - We are pained to chronicle the death of Lawrence B. Lovcgreen, of Clmrlcs ton, who died in Orangeburg on Sunday^ August 11 tht He was a galhltit confederate soldier, and a man of noble trait** of character. He served during the Whole struggle for States Rights, tx? a Member of the Washington Light Infantry, and was al ways found where duty ealledi He received a wound in the bead in one of the battles in Virginia which was the cultse of his deutln Our sympathies are drawn to him the more in consequence of the lost cause for which ho suffered, and finally died. He leaves a family in Charleston with Whom \Vc sincerely condole. 3? ?'?? Strolling into the laboratory of Dr. T. B. Logare, after his return front the Dental Convention lately held at Rich mond, wo were, shown a handsome piece of mechanism, styled the "Morrison bur ring Engine," the first of the. kind intro duced, within our knowledge. The en gine is for drilling and excavating, and entirely supcrccdcs the slow and tedious hand operation. With the assistance of \ a pedal, a driving wheel is set in motion, and a delicate shaft with adjustable I springs enables the operator to apply the drill to any portion of tho mouth, the operation is quick, steady and complete The improvements in Dental Surgery are so rapid and varied that the Doctor, alive to the importance of them, is up with the latest. Dispatches from M?he say that very active canvassing is going on on both I sides throughout the State. Senator Doo-1 little is working very hard in behalf of Grcelcy ticket? Governor Noycs. of the Ohio, has arrived, and is addressing Rc pulican meetings. Senator Wilson is also shortly expected. Ex-President Fill more has declared for Greelcy, and as we have anticipated, General Farnsworth, of Indiana, has en listed in the Liberal cause, Thercdoro Tilton addressed a large meeting of colored Republicans arid Dem ocrats, in New York, oil Saturday. Fires aro raging hi the Pineries along Fuget Sounds, California, and are doing great damage. Gen. Stokes of Tennesec hns declared for Grcelcy and Brown. i cd&muxicatki). ' "**"\VIint Southern ,?Funnens Noed," is the hcadirig of a selected peice in the Oi;an(;j;li?uo Times, and under it arc words of W. I. Sykes, Esq., of tho Mem |phi8 Chamber of Commerce to this effect: "I will tell you what we Southern peo l pie need. We Want Yankee enterprise'" S5 n\V the same piece of slander in the [ Rural Carolinian, some mouths ago. I Kcall it a slander because we have shown as much enterprise, energy and perse verance as the Yankee or any other peo l pie, who have been robbed plundered I and oppressed as we have been, t The Southern press and speeches aro ! full of the like slanders. I suppose some ? stump orator to fdl a vacant place gavo) it utterance, and it has been seized upon i as a wise saying, and yelped from Dan fro Bershcba. It sceina that because wc were over come by four times our number, with the whole world to back tho Yankees, wo aro ever to bo vilified and ridiculed, and they are even to be lauded and held up J for our imitation. - And what is Yankee j enterprise, ns we of South Carolina have seen it, but robbery cheating and steal ing; and I suppose, that is making au i ?honest living, and we arc called upon to j follow their example. I for one protest against the abuse of -my fellow countrymen. God knows we j have had enough of Yankee enterprise in our State Government to forever ab-1 hor and avoid them, and their enterprise. Let us alone. We have enterprise and energy enough of our own to create capital, and develop the resources of our -country. Wc want neither their capital or enterprise Our lands, and climate, and water power, and forest, are capital ^enough. Were it not lor this Yankee enterprise backed by United States bay onets, which is treating us worse than the devil treated Job when '.he Lord deliver ed him up to be tried, our State and peo ple individually would be prosperous and contented. At the end of the war when all produ cing capital, even our stock was taken away or destroyed, the planters of South Carolina or more properly the people of tho whole South, men who never worked in the field, men who hud been raised ^nddived in luxury all their lives before, with one accord pulled off their coats and rolled tip their sleeves, and went to werk with a good will and stuck to it, mid arc at it yet, and with the good prices of pro duce would by now have had competence, had not Yankee enterprise backed by national bayonets taken it faster than we made it. If cither party is to be held up for imitation, 1 think Southern honesty and Southern enterprise, should he. As wasremarkod to mo, if a Southerner docs anything laudable he considers it as only his duty, and noes along and says nothing about it, but if a Yankee does the least thing he jumps around and culls up bis friends, and they make a big fuss over it, and that is oneof differences between them. That same commercial man speaking for the Southern planter says, "The Southern man sells all he can't eat and the Northern man cats all he can't sell," Thank Clod that is so. Thank God we don't make money our God, and sacrifice to it the comforts of ourselves and our wives, and our children. Yes, I admit it,'.we cat the best at home, we wear the best at homo and use the best for those ] who are nearest and dearest to us, and 1 for o?e only want money to procure the best for me and mine. It is an old ad ago that every body oilers a drowning dog water, and since the war wc have not re cievedn good word even by our own edi tors und speakers. 1 hardly ever take up a Southern paper but that my blood is made to boil by such abuse, such un called for and unmerited abuse. PAUL S. FELDER. The ('bester Reporter says:?Mr. William McGnrity, of this county, while attending a Sunday school picnic at Rich Hill on Thursday last, was kicked by a horse, and so severely injured thai j ho died in a few hours. He was a good I citizen, and wc regret to chronicle his death under sitch sad circumstances. Within the bust few days copious show ers have fallen in this Town, and from the app can nee We suppose the railis have been general. Up to this time, sonic neighborhoods in the county were Iii much need of rain. "The Anderson Intclcgcncor says." Notwithstanding the rains, there was a large crowd present on last sales-day, The crowd was pretty orderly until late in the evening, when it became right jolly. The candidates were out in full force doing active service. LetterYrom New Jersey. Atco. N. J., August 9th 1872, DeAk Times. ? Since sending ruy last I have been roamiug over the coun try "seeing sights," and should have written you several times. Material ahunduut, as my note hook is well stock ed; but the truth is (if it must be told) the frightfully hot, inciting weather bus made your correspondent very "deaidiose' of late. The spell has now been broken I have learned to play croquet, and after a week's tuition and practice/ Carrie has crowned me champion sidc'-sh'ot of Atco. Does she mean from centre through right wicket or through left side calico!? There ls little to be sard of tho sur roundings of this village of forty families. Although the highest point between Canidcil and Atlantic City, there* being a "down grade" for two miles on either side, of some si sly feet to the mi)*', it is low, Hat, snifdy,- and covered with pine and scrub-oak. The houses a re scattered over a wide area of country and but few worthy of note. There is neither boat ing nor fishing in the neighborhood and, as tho place does not boast a livery sta ble, but little opportunity for ruling. Nevertheless the "Atco House'1 is fo)l, and our pleasant and agreeable hostess is about at her wits' end to save at least a portion of the applications for board. You will have placed the village I have so briefly outlined in juxta-position to many places in mtv own State; Some thing like Summcrville, George?,' Frog: Dcvel or St. Stephens, perhaps not un like prangchurg: and then you will add, one does not see much to admire or at tract in such a place. Hut it is not al ways scenery that makes the town, 1;? more than pulled up crust makes the pic, We want the crust broken and a peep >*t the inside. Whilst forced to confess the village so far as scenery/ architecture, &e., are con cerned, prosont* wo claims; still a groat deal may be said in its favor, and he who runs by it lightly loses much. In the first place this is a temperance commu nity in the highest sense of the word'. Not a drop of tangle-foot, is sold within, or for some distance beyond the corpo rate limit.*, and consequently there are no drunkards. It is true this i? not due to State or load ordinance/ >n*t to the Great Mogul who is ''inonurh of all he s'Tveysy" and who will not deed n t>w>t of his laud without the wholesome proviso of it* never being used as a place for the salj of intoxicating drinks, There is no need of a Division of SotW Of Tern pernnei, and its absence not i*cgtette<l except fo? the pleasant reunions at regii lar meetings. And then there rtfe the nuignificicnt mammoth trains that pass and repnss at different hours of the day. Kaiif' iq> set her plate as she jumped to wc the excursijn train Hying past. "How many cars diilyou say?" "Thirty-six passenger and a baggage with two engines?all the platforms tilled and numbers riding oil top !" I enquired if longer trains ever passed over tb? road. "O, yes, as many as forty-four passenger coaches to one train, and all crowded." And then it is so homelike at our ho tel. There is no such thing ns a half dozen changes every day for the ladies, such as I have witnessed at Saratoga, and Niagara, and a gent dare wear the same cravat from morning until night KvoJ'y effort is made to secure comfort and everybody?including our little three year old minx, Julia?seems to ap preciate and enjoy it. And now just step with me through the grove to yonder one story cottage and allow mo to introduce you for an hour's chat to the parson's Judy, or for an evening amusement with the young folks. After passing through the beauti ful flower garden, every flower nodding thanks for the care bestowed upon it, and the vine-clad piazza, here we are, first in the parlor, then if 1 the sitting room, now in the music room listening to sweet voices proclaiming "I am happy to night" or telling us of the trials of Mr. and Mrs. Jones and Brown, or again in the dining room every one convulsed with laughter over the flour and ring game, as cousin Kddie bus to dip his ''ace in the flour to take up the ring with his teeth. They have done their best to put the joke upon him as they have several otli [ ers, and it has been a success. "Just look at his nose and moustache," and the very house seemed to shake with laughter. Wc take off OUl" straight-jackets when we assemble here! As you count the sleep ing apartments, one, two, three, all thrown open to assist ventilation, and know yonder door leads to the kitchen and others into dressing rooms, pantry and store room, and survey the exquisite neatness and care bestowed upon every thrWg, you acknowledge tins is indeed' ? lo*'e of tt enttag'c?-the very essential of comfort' And! sbrthly happiness?aritf honor tbe'e/ne whose ideas framed it and croftus jt.with her own bright presence* There is only one place that biings you1 up standing, and thai is at tire door of the end room with the bay-window called the study. The papers lying thero A'fe; suggestive of Sunday church and* ser mon. I would like to hike you to our friends on the other side of the track where they open the net door just wide enough to let you squeeze through and then make you " hurry for fear of an extra ff/ or mosqfiito, but my letter is already too long. Jesne? and Mirian arc here with the other girls and demand a game. So after running over to the depot, to welcome "papa John" and Orillo, just up from the day's' business, and allowing the latter tune for a bit?/ wc'il put. a mallet in his hand giving Uinl the pink ball, and amuse our- . selves in other 'waya than letter writiug/ ? I hnvc not said anything nbotrt the boys> but your own experience witnessed tjmfc wherever '-pretty nr&l agreeable young htdic!* are assembled, the beaux are not far off.
