THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 90.

Ne share IN, and unite in, none of the harsh
remarks we sometimes see in reference to the
Democratic party, made by some Of those,
: who, in former days, were politically opposed
to that party-and We are entitled to speak,
from uniform and consistent course while
2 the two great parties, Wing and Democratic
were in antagonism. We conteudtd fairly
against most of the meas ures and principles OF
the Democratic party, up to the time when
WAR came, and closed the looks OF party
in the Southland our convictions were honest,
and acted on in that spirit, from first to last.
happily, in the South, no such parties known
as formerly divided the people bye cones
have been bye cones the issues once prom-
nebt are all dead and buried and our citizens
traternize with hearty and generous oblivion
of all past party differences, on the same plat
form - the preservation of all the ri ghls and
liberties that We can secure Tor the whole cOun-
try, and Tor the Southern people, aud manly,
legal opposition to the plans purposes, and de-
Signs Of the Ultra Radicals, in SO far as they
90 to The oppression, Injury, aud utter prostr:-
tiou and ultimate ruin Of the Southern STATES.
And en- this platform We still stand. We
have no denuncaions to make against the
Democratic party ut the North and in the
West. Why should we have? Granting as
many errors as you please admitting that it
has fallen into mistakes, during and since the
the war-who else as party tor six years past,
have made even a show OF resistance to uncon-
stitutional legislation, who else have c,ntendea
for right and justice in pubic matters, who
else have striyen 70 maintain the principles Of
the old constitution, who else have sought to
protect the rights and interests Of the South
ern people, and to preserve lh'm from oppres-
sion, but the Democrats Of the North and
West? TO their honor, te it said, that they
have been aided by many of the old line Wbigs,
who, without party organization, or party lea
ders, have yet molly united with their former
political opponents in endeavoring to stay the
progress OF Radical and destructive measures,
and to prevent the continued aScendency of ul-
ira men and partizan demagogues. We see in
all this, nothing that can or ought to revive
old party teelings-but everything to induce
future concord, and firm friendship between

DAMAGE TO THE CHoPs.-The heavy rains of last
week caused much damage to the growing crops
of cotton and corn in the counties Of Anson,
Richmond, and Montgomery. The wheat just ma
turing was also materially injured. The Wades-
boro Argus says that the cotton on many planta-
tions between that place and Charlotte Was 80
badly injured last week by the cold weather that
many farmers had it plowed up and corn planted
instead Wilmington Dispatch
MILL DEsTRoYED.-A new mill located on Jones'
Creek, below Lttle's mill, just completed and be-
longing to Alfred Baucum and Neil NcCormao,
was almost entirely destroyed on Sunday forenoon
by the dam giving way and washing out the
ground on which the mill was located. The ground,
to those who knew it we'll, was always considered
unsafe for mill site. The mill was very com,
plete affair, running three pairs of burra-two grist
and one flour, and was valued at between $4,000 and
$5O0O.- -Wadesboro' argus.
CRoPs-We arc informed late last week that
owing to the very cool weather of two or three
weeks ago, the cotton on many Of the plantations

TIE ELECTIONS IN WAsH1NaToN.-lt ls shown
that the result Of the election in Washington was
secured through the meanest and most shame
faced frauds on record. Thousands OF negroes
city by the Radicals, who wero prepared to over
come the Conservative majority had it reached 80
high even as three thousand. On the following
morning, the poor duped creatures we're found
huddled about OH the corners OF the streets
ing for the faithless Radical Committee to supply
them with food and the means OF getting out of
the city. They freely gave vent to their indlgna-
tion that after having performed their part OF the
contract, they were thus left to shift for them-
selves.
plan for voting had been agreed upon between
the two political parties, by which the blacks wore
to move up to the polls in one line md the whites
in another, and four votes on eac4-. Yere to pc
alternately THROWN it was also agreed that no talk
line. The Police Superintendent broke, up this
very fair arrangement, and, while permitting the
negroes to vote first, suffered party drumncrs to
pass up and down their line, examine their ballots,
take from their hands Conservative tickets, and
force upon them Radical tickets instead The en-
tire proceedings were Of the most shameless char
actef An investigation is to be had, at which the
cheated negroes promise to give free testimony
against the Radical managers. Tnis is the way
the election in the national capital was carried, as
reported, Republican.

which have been so swift to proclaim their "Re-

" Examination and Pic Mic.

;, - - GEORGES STATION, b. u, June Z, 1861.
Editor Ne,rs Most Of your readers will agree
with me, that at this time Of political confusion,
party hate and the absence of those social ameni-
ties, which heretofore distinguished the more
polished walks Of life it is peculiarly pleasant to
get away from the incessant din Of controversy
about the Constitutional Amendment" the
elective franchise and other kindred topics, to
bask little while in the genial sunshine of truly
gala day. Such day we had at this place yester.
day, at the Academy which is under the control Of
Mr.. MORGAN CoNNoR, distinguished graduate OF
South Carolina College, in the days of its beauty
and its glory" and who has made broad and
enduring impress by his labors among the young
gentlemen of this section.
After the examination Of the school, which dis
covered some bright examples Of precocity, and
much careful and judicious training the audience
were invited to partake of substantial collation.,
which had been furnished by the patrons of the
school, and many were the Joyous countenances
we beheld. We beheld, as. we elbowed sour way
through the assemblage OF gentlemen to where
throng of pretty girls-blue eyes and golden hair
whole battalion Of houris-had formed in front
Of the temporary stage. -
Immediately after dinner, the audience resumed
their seats, to listen to q literary address by
P. j. MALONE, Esq, Of Walterboro. 1t would
be impossible to do justice to this address in
the compass Of q newspaper paragraph, SO will
content myself with saying thatit was learned
and well written paper, better suited, perhaps, for
an essay, but nevertheless delivered in finished
and highly oratoricsl style. Itswas, to say the
least, an eloquent effort and creditable to the &C
young gentleman, who I learn, was in
former days pupil of Mr.. CoNNoR. His leading
idea was innovation-change, and he labored to
show that it is only by reactions-pa evil-that
we may hope to see the crowning good of life ac-
After the address, the auditors were
entertained as finale, by the rendition Of some
humorous plays-among others, 'Major Jones
Courtship," in which the young aspirants f,r his
trionc applause impersons. Led the several charac-
ters appointed them in manner exceedingly
creditable to themselves.
The assemblage then dispersed, feeling that
they had spent truly pleasant day, that they
had arrived at an oasis in the desert, and it is to
DO hoped that this pleasant and idyl-ike meeting
may perpetuste spirit Of kindly feeling, and, in
the language Of the orator Of the day. ''that all Of
our people may realize that while wealth may
perish, learning is an enduring heritage; that it
becomes a part Of the man, and restores to its
original beauty and majesty the defaced and sin
accursed image Of its God.n DELMONT.
