The muddle in Charleston. In order that our readers may havo ns lull an understanding ?s possible of the political muddle in Charleston in reference to the Mayoralty we will give nil the information we havo as gathered from both sides. The Democracy of this city seems to bo divided into two factions, the Courtenay and Sale, led by tho i respective candidates for the o.'Hco of | Mayor. The "News find Courier" seems to favor Capt- Courtenay, and the ''Democrat/' a new paper, advocates the claims of Mayor Sale. The rupture occurred in this way : i About a month back the old Kxocu- | tive Committee of the part}'root for the purpose ol inaugurating the campaign, and the majority decided to hold an election at which the people should decide tho question as to wl.i ther future nominations should be by the "Primary" or the "Con vention" system. This the Courtenay party objected to and characterized as a dodge of the Sale party to allow Radicals a voice in the nomination. They therefore treated it as a conspiracy and just Monday night hold ward meetings to elect a new Executive Committee, and reconstruct the parly. Jn the mean time, in accordance with tho order of the Executive Coin inittcc,:lhe election was held and the "Primary" system adopted. The "News and Courier'' treats this elec tion as a very iusignilicant a flair, only a small portion of the Democracy participating. On the other hand the Democrat, the Sale orgau, repre sents that tho patty turned out aa strong ns on nay previous elocti ou, three-fullrtlis of the votes being _i \s.a?.-Ajut Mi cjuicu. lue Sale men claim that the Courtenay* iles are the bolters, ami dub them the Broad street clique. Tho Sale faction alio run on the old Wngenor clement and claim that their op,> m euts represent the wing of the Demo cracy which bolted from Gen. Wa-je ucr and elected the Republican G. I. Cunningham Mayor. On Monday night at the same time that the Courtenay ward meetings were in progress, a Sale mass meeting was held in front of the City Hall, and addresses were delivered by Mayor Sale, Judge Thomas aud R. S. Tharin. We have thus giveu a fair state ment of the situation from which every body can form their own con clusions. "NVo don't think the prominence of Radical speakers at the Sale ward meetings tells well for this faction, while the manly declaration of Mr. Courtenay that ho will abide tho Democratic decision, whatever it may be, elevates him in the eyes of tho Democracy of the Stale. In the mean time while these Democratic ospirints are dividing the party, Cob Gayer, the Independ ent candidate, is saying nothing, and unless the others harmonize, he may ride in on Republican vote-. Can it be possible that we are to witness such a disgrace to the party icpresenting the intelligence aud honesty of the community ? We cannot believe it, but have every confidence that reason will re SUtnc its sway over tho passions of nun, und all such petty dilferences will be harmonized. Lot us never, in .the blind adoration of men or faction leaders, forget South Carolina. The Ccuth and the Presidency. Wc have always thought, ami wo Mill think, that the Southern papers sue foolish in having so much to s-ay in reference to the choice of the Democratic nominee for President. All of this talk in the Southern news papers ghes strength to the battle cry of the "Solid South," which Republican politicians are. so success fully raising, ami also* gives color to llm campaign argument that we are | seeking to capture tho National Government. What is it to us who is President, so he is ??. Democrat? All we want is homo rule. Would it not bo better liicu to leave this selection iu a great measure to the Northern Democracy, especially when our influence aud action tend to the weakening of our prospects of success? If theso ideas of the "Solid South" and the capture of the government are strengthened by our folly, we may loose e\?ry Northern 8tat?. We can do solid voting without 10 much solid U.lk, aud it would be better for us. Jt would make no difference to the South whether Tilden, Hancock, Ewing, Bayard or Thurmau was elected President. It appears to us that the best can didalc is the one who cat. carry the most Northern votes, and wo don't care much who be is, so he is a good Democrat. The Massachusetts Democratic Convention assembled on the 7th in B'Stou. Mr. Saltoust ill, the Chair man, in bis introductory address, said that "Bepublieuns may say what they please about Democratic wrong doing, but \ nothing could atoue f r the hoisting of a President into office against the clear majority of 300,000 of the people. He doibted if history could show a more glaring outrage." Hon. John Quincy Adams was nominated for Governor by acclama tion. For tho Urangcburg Times. Indian Fields Camp Meeting. Mr. Editcr : A very iutercsting meeting has just closed in Colleton at this well known camp ground, which has more than a local reputation. Fully one hundred tents were occupied, and must certainly have averaged above twenty occupants to each on this occasion. Visitors were in attend ance from all the surrounding coun ties, und' live or six newspapers, (four dailies) were represented by their different cor respondents. The minister in charge Mr. Kistler, was ably supported in bis efforts by Messr3. Crciuburg, Power, Tiller, Ilayaor, Fishburuo, and others. '1 bo P. E., He v. T. E. Wnnnamaker wn? nm-nt <?.? EVJrluy anil Saturday, but the precarious stale of bis health prevented his tak ing an active part in the services. Tho sermou on Saturday cveuiug from the theme, "My spirit shall not always .-trivc with you," was deeply impressive, aud sustained tho reputa tion acquired by Mr. Power for earn est, eloquent oratory. Mr. Creuz burg, also, on Sunday night, hold the alteutiou of his audience enchained by bis glowing delivery, alternately saddening their thoughts with a pic ture of the doomed and lonely soul, aud elevating, their minds to the cou tcuiplatioa of the sublimity of divine truth. Professor Jones of Columbia delivered a very able and instructive address on the importance of Christian education, ou Saturday. Some one, said that he condensed a three hours address into just one and a half, and then was merely able to touch upon each point, without expatiating upon or illustrating tho different topics. During the meeting, the little town ol Georges prescutedquite an auimated appeaiance by the constant arrival and departure of tho vehicles which convey passengers to and fro be tween the station aud thegrouuds. It contains several very noat aud pretty residences, and its inhabitants would doubtless regret very much to lose the pleasure and entertainment derived every year from tho interest and excitement created by their fa mous camp meetings. Great perhaps, would be the regrets of the annual visitors, who enjoy so much their kind hospitality. Micinon Etta. Oranpeburg, Oct. 7th '79. [For the Orangeburg Timks.J Church Dedication. Mr. Va\Uw: On last Sunday, it was my privi lege and plcasuro to perform the dedicatory service of a new Church near Dehn Swamp in Orangeburg County. The house was dedicated under the name of "Change Chapel of tub Evangelical Lutheran Church." It is a neat, substantial edifice, and Stands there, Free ut' debt, ai a in ?u t meet uf the liberality and self-denial of tho good people of that com munity. The interior of '.bo Church?the wall.-, the altar and the pulpit?were beautifully end tasteluHy decorated with evergreen garlands and How. rs. In Jaet, the whole arrangement was so peculiarly appropriate as to rellect much credit Upon the young ladies and gtntleinen who executed it. The congregation tilled the Church to its utmost capacity; aud a more attentive aud orderly assembl age, I have never witnessed in any County. It is worthy of uote that young Mr. Kreps deserves much credit for the manner in which be has developed tho musical talent of the young per sous of that neighborhood. Th-j sing* ing at the moruiug scrvico, at the Sunday school celebration in the afternoon, imd at the night scrvico was all of the first-class. There is nothing iu tins world that more highly commends a community to the favorable consideration of in telligent and refined men aud women than the tight of good Chunhcs and school houses. Therefore, may all tho back dis tricts throughout our land follow the example of the good people of Dean Swamp, and build goo I houses of worship. Respectfully yours, Al.ciia. For the Orangcburg Tim kb, Oats. Mr. Editor: 1 promised to teach farmers, how to make farming a success and also u pleasure. In iv.y first, 1 showed that by planting all our productive lands in cottou. we would have work from January to January, tedious and perplexing work, too monotonous to afford much pleasure. When will our farmers learn Lo diversify their crops, and be cured of the cotton mania? We never can become in dependent, jolly and prosperous, until we are cured of the cotton mania, aud learn to diversify oar crops. The oat crop is the most remunera tive crop to the farmers of our Comi ty, which was shown by figures i n your paper a few weeks ago, by Major Salley, Carrie endorses the Major's figures, and asserts that he is a live farmer. I advise our youug farmers, to get a few dots from I'** ^r"j?*? o!j iiiu cultivation of oats. Don't plant quite as much as the Major, for we think he has oats on the brain, as the most of our funnels have cotton. A good rotation of crops is, one-third oats; one-third com; one third cottou. We will write on tho advantage of rotation before long. "J. C H." of the "Democrat" it a great advocate of oat planting. Our opinion is identical witu his. In (act we are congenial spirits, not likely to ever have a tilt as friend Santee do sires. "J. C. H." tbiuks the most of our farmers are ignorant about oats. They think it an uncertain crop, very exhaustive, and of not much value as feed. Cuitic don't think about it, but knows it to be the most certain crop to the farmer of Orangeburg County, when properly planted and fertilized, and the least exhaustive to the land, when we avail ourselves of the advantages of greon manuring followed by a he ivy crop of peas. As food for horses ami mules, it is con sidered the best iu the world, and we thinkjr tly. CRITIC asserts, without fear of suc cessful contradiction/ that the oat crop is the most remunerative, tho most certain, the least exhaustive (if the above condition is complied with) aud the best food crop for homes and mules. If this is thus, which Critic can prove by J. C. II.'s farm, why do not our fanners plant oats? They arc laboring under the delusion that oats will poison the land. This pre judice has been handed down to us from our fore parents, and J. C. II. will find it difficult to eradicate it. Critic wishes to show to our present farmers the mistake of our fathers. They planted lands that were not well adapted to corn or co tton, exhausted obi fields without any fertilizers, roughly scratched over, put in the seed January or February;and when the oats were harvested large herds of cattle and llocks of fcheep were turned in. Not u sprig of grass or weeds was allowed to grow, and July and August suns beamed on tho naked laud. Hero is your exhaustion. In my next I will prove by J. C. II.'s farm that wo can improve our laud rapidly by planting oats. Tribute tu My YomiKCHt ISoru. Thy littlo eyes are closed, my child, Thy little bauds arc still in death !

Departed this life on the morning of September 2?uh 1H79, Pauli hb Viola, Daughter of W. P. and Leonora Branson, aged eleven months and sixteen days. No more will the face of little Pa.UI.IKE be seen on earth to brighten the hopes of thoso who loved her, for she hss been laid away in the grave there to await the sum mons at the last day. Though her body is committed to the cohl ground, ' Earth to earth, n?he? to uslies, dust to dost," her soul is with Jesus who said, "Sutler littlo children to como unto me and forbid them not for of such i? the Kingdom of Heaven." While then we drop the tear of sorrow mid bereavement, let us submit to the will of Him who made us, being persuaded that what He docth is [right, and that though oar hearts bleed and almost break under, the despensatiou, Jesu* can and will take the sting away if we but a*k Him.
