BARON RENFREw,s PROMISE.

The young Prince of Wales, having completed
his tour through the Canadas and the Northern
States, has embarked at Portland, Maine, and
is now on his return trip to England. There has
been enough difference, indeed, between his gay
els. atlantic butteray-hutterings, and the celebra-
ted tour of Peter the Great, who travelled all
over Europe as a mechanic, and labored in the
workshops, in order that he might acquire thai
knowledge and skill which were afterwards tc
make himself and Russia famous. The Prince
seems to have felt that much of his time while
on this side of the Atlantic, was passed in a man
ner grotesquely out of keeping with his vas,
responsibilities as the future king of England.
In regard to his treatment of the South, especi
ally, he appears to feel some qualms of con,
science; and has promised to return SOM winter
and make n tour through the Southern States
The reader will remember that q few weeks

nsap 1t is g. common observation that there
are more sufferers from debility, among Ameri
cans, than can be found among any other civil
zed nation. The reason is obvious. We take
too little exercise, and forget the wants of thu
body in the absorbing pursuits Of business. In
all such cases, ordinary medicines can do little
good. What is required is just such o tonic and
invigorator as DR.. j. Hostetter has given to the
world, in his CELEBRATED "BITTERS." The
weak and nervous denizen of the counting. house,
the exhausted toiler upon the shop-board, and
the Frustrated student of the midnight lamp,
have found a wonderful regenerator in the Bit
ters," and prefer it to more pretentious, but less
eticacious medicines. But it should not be for
gotten that the agent which is so magical in it:
influence upon q frame which is merely debilita
ted, is equally powerful in assisting nature t.
expel the most terrible forms of disease. Wht
would not give it a trial?

The Case Of Kitchens.
CLIO, 8. c., October %, 1861


In view of the excitement and exaggerated re-
ports in circulation consequent upon the arrest
Of J. K. Kitchens and his son, F: G. Kitchens, by
the Vigilance Committee of this place, on the
SUSPICION of an attempt to excite an %insurrec.
ton in The nighborhood, the undersigned, by re
quest of said Committee, beg leave to submit
the following as a true and correct statement OF
facts in relation thereto
F.. c.. Kitchens had been here about four
weeks, and ]. K. Kitchens about two weeks
Reports derogatory to their character followed
them from North Carolina, where they had re
sided for the last four or FIVE years, in conse
ouence of which the citizens of this community
determined to remove them.
A meeting was called for that purpose, and ar.
ranpements made to effect the desired purpose
Prior to taking %actionin the matter, and for 9th
er purposes, o Committee of Safety was organ.
lied, and a Committee appointed to wait upon
them and inform them of the determination Of
the Committee, to wit: That they must leave
the District Immediately, which they finally con
sented to do.
While preparing to leave, the propriety oil
searching their trunks was suggested. On e1'
animation, numerous papers were found, among
which were two invoices for fire arms, from 10.
seph Mervin, Agent at New York, several letters
from persons North, and copies of letters to va
rious persons.
These circumstances aroused our suspicion,
and we determined to arrest the parties and hold
them in custody until further Investigations
could be made. A letter from Adams & Co.'S
Express Agent, at Wilmington. N. c., was also
found, notifying J. X. Kitchens that a box to
his address was in his possession, with bill for
collection for about $500. This was the only
bill found which bore any evidence of shipment.
The box was directed to Cberaw, s. c., and we
understand has been forwarded from Wilmington,
N. c., to Cheraw, S. c., and is now there
The 5000 invoice bore no evidence Of shipment,
and we have information from Joseph Mervin,
Agent at New York, that this invoice was new
er shipped, but was sent as a guide, as to the
price and quality, in making selections.
There was nothing of an incendiary character
in any of the correspondence of either Of the
Kitchens. Neither was there any proof Of either

Ohio carried off by the Negroes.-The oficia,
returns of the OHIO election disclose the fact
that the Black Republican majority was only
8. 794. Fourteen thousand negroes were allowed
to vote under the decision of Judge Brinkinhof.
Leaving out this negro vote the Democrats have
q majority of nearly six thousand. Thus the
startling, the humiliating fact appears that
Ohio, q sovereign State of this Union, is under
negro rule. To such a disgrace would the
Black Republican party reduce the whole couu
try. This thing is too shameful, too sickening,
too revolving, to contemplate.
The following paragraph is from the Cleveland
Plaindeaier:
"Full blooded negroes voted in several of the
wards yesterday. At the second ward negroes
as black as coal peddled tickets. Negroes hired
carriages and carried white men to the polls
Negroes were everywhere. The refrain COM
mencing,
s.Sheep meats too good for negroes"
is an absurdity. Here on the Western Reserve
roast beef is hardly good enough for them

A Rumor.-The Washington CORRESPONDENT

4 Rumor.-The Washington CORRESPONDENT of
the Cincinnati Inquirer telegraphs:
ga leading and influential! Member of Con-
gress from Virginia left here a few days ago,
and before leaving be stated to a friend that be
had no idea, in the event of Lincoln's election,
that the delegation from Virginia would take
their seats in the House Of Representatives. 1t
is stated on the very best authority that a
meeting of the delegation, including Senators
and Representatives, has been called and will
take place several weeks prior to the convening
of Congress. The event Of the meeting is only
known to the initiated. Rumors are rife about
extraordinary overtures from the Republicans
to the South, if the leaders there will only keep
quiet. Corwin writes that Lincoln will execute
the Fugitive Slave Law to the very letter; that
he will not countenance the abolition of Slavery
in the District of Columbia without the consent
of the inhabitants. Report says that combina-
tons are forming which will astound the coun-
try"

Votes Lincoln can afford to Lo@.-Mr. Lin
coin, if ne obtain all ~thssfree States, will have
just one hundred and eighty three electoral
votes, while (the whole number being three hun
dred and three) one hundred and f~fty-two wouIc
be a majority of the whole. Then it appears he
could only spare thirty-one, and should he lose
New York (thirty.fve v~otes) must be defeated,
even with California and Oregon on his side
Losing those two States (baving seven votes) ht
could not lose Pennsylvania (twenty-seven votes,
rs he would then have but one hundred and
fOrty-niue, or three less than a majority of the
college but carrying either California or Ore
gon, with all the other free States, he would
have q majority without Pennsylvania; or he
might lose Ohio, California and Oregon, thirty
one, and still be safe. New York is the only
single State which could defeat him.-PitsburS

Jacob Greenwood, 10 years of age, writes from
Starkville, Georgia, to the New York Empress,
that be has for three years possessed the ken of
prophecy, and that the arcana of coming events
are freely and unreservedly presented to his
mind. His pretensions will Of course excite

he predicted the recent affair at Truxillo, the
fires in Texas, and the political fusion in New

bode q different result, he says he is willing to

prediction that the fusion ticket of New York

Bmglary.-One of the boldest acts of this
kind was perpetrated in this place on Saturday
night last. The store of Maj. A.. D. billiard was
forcibly entered, and sugar, coffee, cigars, and
wbiskey were taken to an amount not yet ascer
tained. The offenders were possessed of all tie
efrontery of the boldest and most unainching vii
lains, and the open and daring manner in which
they accomplished their nefarious work bespeak'
q determination, and recklessness against which
we would warn all to be prepared. The back
door was broken open, and in order that their
most fastidious taste might be gratifed, the
villains proceeded with a lighted candle to Sc
lect their booty. In order to drag the offenders
to justice as speedily as possible, Maj. billiard
tenders a reward of fifty dollars to any one, who
will trace to conviction the wrong doors.

The Secession Movement of the South and the
Administration.-The Black Republican press
are constantly asserting that the President has
stated that be did not believe there would be
a dissolution of the Union, or even a secession
of the Southern States, in the event of Lincoln's
election. This is a complete fabrication. He
has never h~esitated to state to any and every
one who asked his opinion that he had serious
apprehensions upon the subject. What the
South will do he does not pretend to know, but
that seven or eight, and perhaps more of the
Southern States, will take speedy action, he
fully anticipates. What he will do, if anything,
in such an emergency, he has never indicated
to any human being.--Ntw York Herald.

was put in the cannon, when LINCOLN, BELL and
DOUGLAS were to be ''shot for; and much mer'
riment made over the mock pop-gun salutes.-
When BRECKENRIDGE and LANES time came,
about four pounds of powder were crammed into

gun. The cannon when discharged, exploded

been battling hard in behalf of the fusion move
meut in that State, now gives up its cause as

deem New York should be abandoned. New

jority. ace dare sag, than any other State. Lincoln

matter any longer. We are called upon to look
this thing full in the face. The best that our
Union forces can now do, is to save oil the odds
and ends of the election within their reach, such
as Congressman, Assemblymen and county off

concerned may as weU just now shape their course

INFANCY AND OLD AGE.

Death. like the Great Master who sent hin
into the world with his scythe, is no respecter o
persons. The prince and the peasant must boil
alike crouch at his feet, and acknowledg'
his sceptre. 1.-THE young may die-the old mus
die" On graves how different, are these dow
ouivering, yellow leaves of Autumn nesting :
Some long ones beneath whose still-fresh soc
the grav. hairs of perhaps four score years arr
sleeping; some tiny ones that hide foreVe'
little rosy lips where sparkled, then exhaled, the
dewy smile of infancy. The young man rejoicing
in the pride of his strength, goes forth to real
in the fields of human enterprise, but is hlmsel
cut down, and gathered into the garner OF tn
All DESTROYER. The fair maiden wreathes be-
head in the bridal veil. and waits the joyous
hour to give herself away to the beloved of her
heart but Death outspeeds herlover, and claims
her for his bride. The land has its millions
the sea has its millions. Truly may we exclain
in the pathetic language of Mrs. Hemans:
"Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the North WINDS breath
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own. oh, Death !
These thoughts have been suggested by tn
recent visits of the fell Destroyer to our lovel!

first tender embraces of its mother, and taking
an aged "Mother in Israel" to the long-awaitec
rest of the tomb and Of heaven. Though gu

lots-"to die is gain? The one passes ava.
from the joys and sorrows of a long aud well
spent life: she has experienced the gall aud bit
terness of earth's faint, and the compromising
sweetness Of a Saviour's pardoniug grace. Th
other passes from its mothers bosom into tn
presence of God, and the bright effulgence o
the shining host. Its tender soul has neVe'
known sin; and, perhaps, through the endless
cycles of eternity, it will never dream of any
thing but a Saviour's love. Redeeming love
and stainless bliss! Surely, the precious pros
pect may make every Christian exclaim: "

Committed for B~igamy.-An individual giving
his name as VIM. J. Enloe, was arrested a few
days since by q lumber of our citizens, and
brought before our Vigilance Committee, on
suspicion of being an Abolitionist. The proof
was not sufficient to convict him, but having
been married twice, he was handed over to the
civil authorities and committed TO York Jail. 1t
appears that he has passed under different
names. Reports from several quarters justify
US in holding him up to the public as a notori
Gus and expert rascal. 1t is probable that the
Sheriff will advertise him-give a description OF
the man, that both he and those he has imposed
upon may have full justice. He, during the
examination before the Vigilance Committee,
made some contradictory statements, sufficient
to give any one 90 insight into his real charac
ter. Let the law take hold of him, the evidence
be brought out, the penalty be enforced, and
perhaps our country will soon be rid of such
mischievous characters Rock Hill Chronicle.
