{ RkcovERY OF STOLEN BosDs.-We take
the following from the Detroit lMich.) Free
Press .ft
In the Spring of 1865, number Of bonds
of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, Of.
South Carolina, were stolen from the Bank
of South Caroina, in Charleston, by tie I'm
ion soldiery. Since that time detectives all
over the country havefiboen engaged in try
ing to discover the bonds,. but until quite re-
Gently no clue to them could be found. A
few weeks ago resident Of Windsor called
at ono Of the banks in this city and offered
two Of the stolen securities Tor sale, but the
officers of the bank declined to, negotiate with
him, on. the suppostion thatall was not right
and Informed the chief of police of the cir
cumstance. The person was arrested, but
succeeded in convincing the authorities that
he had obtained the bonds of another party
Ia temporary resident Of Windsor), who had
commissioned him to dispose Of them. This
led to the arrest Of. the other party, who sur
rendered two of the bonds of the denomina.. ).
tion of 100: These were forwarded to-
the President of the bank from which they;
were stolen, and yesterday the .policeI depart.
ment received notification of their safe arriv-
al at their. destination. The circumstance
will doubtless lead to discovery Of more,
and perhaps all of the bonds. - -

Al Regular Rouser.

Monday last wns Salcs-day in Edgefold, and
the first day, too, Of the FaliSession of the Court
of Common Pleas and General Sessions And
besides this, Col. REED. Of Anderson, Democratic
ruminee for Congress from the 3rd Congressional
District had been advertised to address the peo-
pie. The crowd was consequently very large,
and the day q busy and n lively one. The chiei
feature was Col. REEDS speech, which wasa
regular rouser., He chose the Park as the place
of his hoding-forth; and spoke in real old-fash.
ioned, Democratic, open air style. Indeed Col
RE Ed may himself be called irregular rouser. He
is ha,c,. and hearty, and bluff, and pOrtly, and
uustudied, and impulsiye. And all this may be
said Of his speech. He did not 60 by line and
plummet, but, as he expressed it himself, shot
in every direction with double-barrel shotgun.
And never. failed to hit the mark inthe most
telling manner. He scathed the Radical party,
and moro particularly the called Legislature OF
South Carolina, in the most pitiless manner; but
departed in no jot or title from tho rigid truth
His remarks, explanations, und appeals to the
negroes, of whom there wero u soodly number
present, were the best and most apropos we have
ever hoard. He exhorsod the people to, more
persistent and more organized labor in behalf Of
tho triumph of Democracy; eh-Arnd Them win
hopeful tidings which had lately reached him
from tho North and West and ended by pr"pO-
sing three cheers for Seymour & Blair, he him
self leading off in suoh manner as oxcit"d bis
hearers 10 wild enthusiasm. Our citizens were
uufvigncdly doligbtod with him; and at his re-
naming appointments in our District, We feel sure
that he will have crowds of eager listeners, and
that he will stir the people up to the warmest and

Cheering News.

We learn from o letter of tho special correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Gazct.. that General Frank
Blair's unexpected appearance in Washington
few days since set all tho quidnuncs " agog" to
find out the cause of his presence but they failed
to obtain the much desired news. Ho remained
with his father in conaultation all day, and left
for the west ut night" Tho. following extract
from the lettoris very encouraging: ~
Several intimate friends of Gen. Blair called on
i him during the day, and they found him in high
spirits and perfectly confident of the success of
the Democratic ticket in the Presidential contest.
He claims to have the bostinformation from every
State, and according to his calculations the Dem
ocrats will carry New York, Pennsylvania and
Indiana, with close vote in Ohio. lie says that
the Democratic vote in, tho Wost and Northwest
will astonish all parties, and that Horatio Soy
mour will be elected by atwo.thirds vote of the
Electoral College. s.z's s@l III ,'','s.- s,s
A letter from the Hon. Montgomery Blair, dated
in Philadelphia yesterday, '6xes the Democratic
majority of that city at FIVE thousand, and the
majority in the State at from twot five thousand.
Judge Blair speaks at Lancaster tomorrow.
The National Intclligcncer says with regard to
the Pennsylvania election in its issue of Tuesday
We repeat what We stated in our issue of YES
tarday, that our intelligence from Pennsylvania,
is Of the most cheering character. There is no
variation in the accounts that reach us from our
friends there, and tboy warrant tho expectation
that on the 18th of October next the Conseryn-
tives will achieve signal and overwhelming tri.
umph. The Democracy Of the old Keystone are
| fairly aroused they are at work all OVERTIME
State, and the calculation Of Mr.. Cameron that
our vote will not be out, will not in the end pibve
to be any wiser than that of; tho man who. built
his house upon sand. -.
The InteHigencer, iu-tho same article quoted
above, says, with regard to Pennsylvania, and the
same words may be applied to Ohio:
The Conservatives of Pennsylvania have now
before them tho noblest opportunity offered to
| men since the days of the American Revolution
The glorious heritage of liberty then won by the
valor and sacrifice Of their revolutionary fathert
is now in jeopardy. Itis for them to sny whether
| we shall enjoy the priceless blessings of free
Constitution, or whether tho country shall be
handed over to the foulest- the most corrupt and
| degrading of despotisms, compared with which
even thut of Russia or Turkey would be respect
uble. The Radical leaders hive basely conspirei
against this system of constitutional liberty ant
| they demand tho right Of Office and plundcr BY
enfranchising negroes and keeping hundreds O.
