RIO THE FARMERS OF T,HaE

The undersigned appeals in behalf Of the
starving people of South Carolina-hs native
State-to the farmers and all other persons hay
ing corn for sale in the Valley and the adjacent
country, to sell and deliver to him their surplus
corn at the earliest practicable moment. 1t is i'm
peratively necessary that corn should be gotten
to these people at once in order that they may be
saved from actual starvation, as they failed al
most entirely in a corn crop themselves and
supplies from other sources cut off by the al
most unprecedented condition OF the country
roads and the interruption of Railroad commu-
nication by the washing away of bridges, &C.
The appeal is not for contributions; propose
to pay the market pric. in cash upon the deliv-
cry of the corn, and will hope that a humane
people will not horde up the necessaries Of life
from their famishing countrymen. Much good
bushels by each farmer if he cannot deliver
| more.

OK Saturday night last, trunk, left at the
Saloon of Jno. j. Christian by O colorcd man
named G. L. Gibson, was stolen and found on
Sunday morning on the Railroad track near the
Depot, broken open and empty. The contents
consisted of FIVE new Shirts suit of Clothes val
ued at $40, an overcoat, U. S. Blanket, Colt
Revolver and some childrens clothing, valued in
all at about sos. A portion of the above was
found in the hog pen of j. Moran, badly dam
aged by the hogs. The overcoat and blanket
were found afterwards near the American Hotel.
The Revolver is still missing. The rogue has
thus far eluded the vigilance of an officer but we
hope he will be caught and punished as he de-
serves.

The Vote Of Cecir.

The vots in this county on the Constitu.
ton footsup 1885, while the registered vote
is 1911, showing an absence from the polls
Of 1926 votes. The registery shows some.
thing in excess of the entire voting popula
ton of tho county, on account of deaths, re-
movals, etc., which were not brought to the
notice of the registering officers, and hence
not taken off the lists. Three hundred votes
will certainly cover this deficit, which being
deducted will leave 1926 voters in the county
who did not turn out to the last election
That the great majority of these were Re.
publicans, there can be no reasonable doubt.
In one of the districts where the voters were
all known, careful count proved that but
8 of the rebel party absented themselves
from the polls, while SO Republican voters
remained away from the election. 1t is
scarcely possible to vote district closer
than within nine votes OF Its party registry
and it is safe to conclude that the rebel par.
ty at the late election had out their whole
strength. Taking the facts and figures in
the case as revealed by the election of Wed
uesuay week, Iutre Is not u QOuDJ tnat tHe
Republican party have majority of voters
IN this county, and nothing Is needed but a
thorough organization, and the proper effort
at the November election, to carry the coun,
ty by safe Republican majority. In view
of these facts, which must be evident to
every nan who will take the trouble to study
the returns, our duty is plain. We owe it
to the country, We owe it to ourselves indi.
vidually, and the Republican party, to 60
forward. Nominate the best men for all
Offices to be filled at the coming election and
rest not till every Republican voter is brought
out that is able to 60 to the polls in Novem
Der, and the victory is ours. The Republi.
can party must not despair because an
apathy has been allowed to settle upon it,
and we find full thousand of our voters
absentng themselves from the polls at the
late election. Victory is within our grasp
and we will be recreant to our duty if we do
not seize it. Up and at them RAIDS, and the
day is ours.

"RECoLLECrIoNS OF ARMY The
lecture by Rev. l.. G. Matlack, on Tuesday
evening last, at the NJ. L. Church, in this
town, was numerously attended, and the
subject was handled by the lecturer in
manner which presented the varying scenes
Of camp and field life, most wildly before
the audience. Starting with the raw cavalry
recruit, on the praries of Illinois, every step
OF the soldier Of the Republic was traced to
the Chickahominy, and that miserable, NOR
tlfylng Ito every loyal heart) Pennsular
campaign of Mcclellan displayed to the au-
dlence, in series of the most striking life,
like. pictures, both grave and gay. The
horrible drilling, and camping, and weary
waiting on the Potomac through that long
Autumn Of '61, which every loyal heart now
remembers with sigh, terminating in the
wet winter, with our 10000 soldiers living
in the mud, and dying by thousands, while
an enemy of $4,000, at Manassas, looked on
with Amusement, was described, as none but
master can describe it.
We have not space to review the lecture.
nor even to present some of the life
pictures drawn with such beauty and power,
by the speaker. The subject, "Recollec-
lions Of Army Life" comprises three lee.
lures, that delivered on Tuesday EVENING
last being the first of the series, leaving the
Grand Army of the Potomac, after the battle
OF Williamsburg, looking across the Chick.
ahominy at the rebels. Every one who
heard the lecture on Tuesday evening will
be anxious to hear the whole series, when
themore stirring events of subsequent battles
and campaigns will be described.
The choir lent much to the entertainment
by the fine musical treat they had prcnarcd
for the evening.

SHERIDAN's VIEws.-Gen. Sheridan, in
conversation with Messrs. Evans and Hens.
zey, OF the Philadelphia Committee of re-.
;ception, speaking of the correct policy to
DC, pursued by the country, said -" There
is but one policy to pursue, and that is to
carry out the measures of Congress, accord.
ing to the Interpretation which that BODY has
given to those measures"
He also said that every one of his official
acts, in his late position, had been endorsed
by Grant, and were virtually the acts of that
general. Roferring to the probable dangers
of the present situation, General Sheridan
used the following language: "If the rebels
get in power through the policy of Andrew
johnson, the rebellion is made honorable
and Unionism dishonorablc and SO MANY
soldiers have been sacrificed in the suppress
sion of the rebellion, am in favor Of de-
priving the rebels of their political power
BY giving the colorcd Unionists the right of
franchise"
