L1TERARY ENTERrAINMENT.

The citizens Of this village will be de-
lighted to learn that Miss BATES, of
Charleston, will give one of her attrac-
tive readings in the Court House on to-
morrow Thursday evening, at 8 o'clock.
The subject, "Eight Days in Scotland,' D
will prove interesting to the public gene
rally, and we are confident that the ac-
complished Lady will find her efforts ap-
preciated on this occasion. Her attain
ments and vast research into the dusty
tones of the past, and personal observa-
'tion while on q recent visit to Scotland,
will render a description of that country
at once graphic, entertaining and instruc-
tive. Besides, the proceeds are to be do
mated for the benefit OF the poor in An
derson, and we presume that this charita-
BILE disposition will augment the receipts
of the evening. Admission, Fifty Cents.

rHE FoUara ,iljl tn OF ~ JULY m ANDERSON.

The gathering crowdof freedmen, early
iathe morning, gave indication of inter-
est, upon their part, in the political ques-
tions ofthe day, and "a desire for a general
consultation, as to the course to be adopted
IN the new state Of thingsinto which they
have been ushered.
At an early hour, an immense concourse
had assembled in the grove near the depot,
at q stand prepared for the occasion, to
listensto the addresses, from their selected
orators. When the audience had become
somewhat quiet, and the Committee Of Ar
rasgements announced their readiness for
the exercises TO begin, DR.. ALEX. EvrNs
made: a few appropriate remarks, at the
conclusion of which he introduced to the
auditory Maj JOHN B. Moore, one of the
speakers of the occasion. Maj. MooRE,
stteEs briefly, yet clearly explaining the
rights. privileges Of white and colored,
under the recent reconstruction acts Of
Congress, took unusual pains to show the
the identity Of interests between the two
races in this country; the absolute impos-
sibility, at least, for a long series of years,
Of a separation between them; and the
consequent Importance Of eutiyating the
most friendly relations between the two,
with full and free consultation upon
everything which affects the interest and
prosperity of the country
Col. WARREN D. WILKES was next In
troauced, and made q lengthy and forcible
speech, embracing every question arising,
as to the interests of the eolored people,
under the new order of things, showing
that whatever legislation was burthen-
some to the one race would also be oner-
Gus to the other, and the necessity Of free
consultation and concert of action.
Although the speakers had had but lit
tie time to prepare, they made clear, forci-
bic and practical speeches, admirably cal
eulated to enighten all who really felt any
anxious interest in seeking after informa-
tion.
After these addresses, FIVE colorcd men
also addressed the meeting, some OF them
makingveryBcnsible remarks, while others
showed evidences of decided leaning to
the party now in power in the nation.
The whole thing passed off quietly, all
behaving unusually well, and conducting
themselves with dccorum, not usually
seen in such gathering.
The military forces stationed here fred
the salutes usual on the day, and thus
passed the fourth Of July ip Anderson.

Another interesting item of our sojourn in CO.
lumbia proceeds from an invitation extended by
Col. WILLIAM JOHNSTON, President of the Charlotte
and South Carolina Railroad, to visit the work.
shops of that flourishing corporation. It will be
remembered that all the buildings belonging to
this company were destroyed, and the road met
with serious loss in the destruction of ts track for
more than forty miles Notwithstanding these en-
barrasuens, the entire line has long since been
reconstructed, including one of the longest and
costlest bridges in the State. Added to this, su-
peror buildings have been erected, the latest I'M
proved machinery purchased, and the shops put
in thorough condition to manufacture and repair
whatever is necessary to keep the Road in excellent
order The energy, perseverance and financial
ability of Col. JOHNSTON has contributed to this
result in great measure. His life has been devo-
ted to internal improvements, and he can talk
about railroads from 'early morn to dewy eve, !"
unless he has business engagement and these are
never neglected. Such men are always successful,
and prosperity seems to follow in their footsteps.
While on this subject, wish to direct the atten-
ton Of the travelling public to n striking illustra-
ton of practical common sense. The Charlotte
Road endeavors to meet the wants of every portion
of the State by arranging schedule to connect
with the Greenville Road, rs well as others This
fact doubtless initiates against the prosperity of
Charlecton, but the cnterprising President, who
recognizes its Importance, cannot be ccnsured
justly for his sagacity and practical foresight We
regret that there should be found any one who
will undertake to depreciate him, because others
are too narrow-minded to take advantage of the
same circumstances.

arorHER 1NsTALMENT..

ANOTHER INSTALMENT.
Ex- Gov. PERRY continues to ventllate
his abuse of those favorirg the propflety
Of voting for Convention. He seems to
forget that there. ever existed any patriot
ism in those who differed fora his policy,
and bprls apathemas at them for their te-
merity in opposing him at this time, The
reader will find upon our first page anoth-
er letter-the fifth of the series-from the
Ex-Governor, and we frankly confess that
he has exceeded himself in this extraordi-
nary effort. Along with this torrent OF
abuse and yenomous TRADE, we give q
calm and dispassionate argument from the
Columbia Phe,mr, and we earnestly re-
commend careful perusal Of both articles,
without prejudice and without partisan
feeling.
The Ex-Governor strikingIy illustrates,
in the opening sentences of this letter, .
remarkable trait of our Southern people,
and one that has. been made apparent far
too often since the cessation of hostilities.
We allude to his nervously grasping after
the opinion of the Attorney-General, and
his declaration that this document com
pletely demolishes the Radical power. If
there be one line of conduct more than an
other, calculated to augment our woes
and suffering, it has been this same eager
ness to seize upon every manifesto of a
powerless minority, and endeayoring to re-
new the contest upon different and less
dangerous field. The mere enunciation
of the Attorney Generals opinion, instead
of wrestling power from the military COM
manders, brought about an extra session
of Congress, and the consequent evil
effects of tampering with this subject of
reconstruction again. What, then, be-
comes of the declaration of Gov. PERRY
that the military commanders care no
longer to make laws for us, and remove,
at will, our public oficers?" Has Con
gress acknowledged the fact? Is not the
Ex-Governor rather too hasty in his de-
elarations, or else why does S1cKLEs leave
his acode- of laws" unrepealed? There
are facts staring the people in the face to-
day, directly to the contrary of Gov.
PERHY's assumptions, and unless these are
removed, it is asking too much of our Gre
dulity to believe in his conclusions. "En-
durance, patience and long suffering" are
admirable qualities, but even these become
doubtful virtues, unless their exercise will
bring it's reward. The Democratic party
and reaction at the North have been
sounded into our ears, until the tones are
monotonous, and we would welcome "a
gleana of sunshine" from any other source
as heartily.
The latter portion OF Gov. PERRY's let.
ter is commendablc in the extreme, and
we cordially endorse his urgent appeals
for registration. None should neglect his
counsels in this particular, and though We
very much fear that he has indoctrinated
many with per1licious ideas, and already
convinced them by passionate defamation
that they have no interest in the subject,
nevertheless, we sincerely hope that his
timely reference totheir duties will prompt
his followers to heed the admonition.

In his speech Mt Lawrence, Kansas, Senator
Wade said that the shadow of another struggle was
over us; that Congress, which has done so much
for the slave, cannot quietly regard the terrible
distinction which exists between the laborer and
employer. Property is not so fairly divided, and
more equal distribution must be wrought out.
This agrarian proposition, it will be seen, does
not apply TO the South alone. but to the North as
we'll; and thus regarded, how will it set upon the
stomachs of the millioraries and property holders
of the North, who have aided in foisting upon the
country the ruling and irresponsible faction which
now proposes to turn upon its friends and destroy
them The file leaders, Wade and Butler, have
both declared that some plan must be devised by
the Radical party by which the property of the
rich shall be distributed among the poor. The
merchant princes, the Radical holders of two thou
sand millions of Federal debt and of other debts
State. civ and county-now have chancet to carry
out the ..fair division of property recommended
by their own Radical leaders.
1t is apparent that agrariansm is on the eve OF
having wider application than was originally in
tended and as the Baltimore Sml remarks, the
seeds of this pernicious doctrine, so profusely
sovn over the Southern soil, have already been
waited to u different latitude than that for which
they were intended The ball has been put In mo-
ton; where it will stop, time alone can tell.

THE STRONGEST PROOF OF INTRINSIC MERIT.
DEAR SIRs-I ought to have acknow-
edged long ago the box of Pain Killer you
had the goodness to send me last year. Its
coming was most providential- | believe
hundreds of lives were saved, under God, by
it. The Cholera appeared here soon after
we received it. We resorted at once to the
PAIN KILLER, using as directed for Cholera.
A list was kept of all to whom the PAIN
Killer was given, and our native assistants
assured us that eight out of every ten to
whom it was prescribed, recovered. 1t has,
too, been very useful in various other dis
eases. 1t has proved an incalcuia liable bles-
sing to multitudes of poor people throughout
all this region. Our native preachers are
never willing to 60 out on their excursions
without a supply of the Pam Killer. 1t
gives them favor in the eyes of the people,
and access to families and localities by
whom otherwise they would be very indif-
terently received.
Believe me, dear sirs, gratefully and
faithfully yours,
