The caterpillar has made its appearance in
several parts of E1gefeld District; but so far
as we can learn, it's ravages have not been very
serious.
"A fatal rencontre occurred near Crim's
store, on Clouds Greek, in Edgefeld District,
on Saturday last, between MIR. Wade Padgett
and young man by the name OF Corley, which
resulted in the death of the former.
Charlie Glanton, an interesting lad, oged
about fifteen years, son of MIR. j. ": Glanton,
living near Cold Springs, in Edgefeld District,
lost his life on Saturday last by the accidental
discharge of his gun, while he and cousin OF
his were out hunting on his fathers premises.
The Chester Standard says: "The City by
the Sea"-gallant old Char1eston-is giving
notice to the interior Of the State that the fall
trade is about to open, and she wiahes to be
stcounted in" We hope every section OF the
State will show substantial appreciation of
her business capabilities"
The Bennettsville Journal says: 1.-THE cot
ton fields in some sections OF this dictrlct have
been visited by the caterpillar. This is some
thing unusual, as we do not recollect ever to
have heard OF their appearance in any large
numbers in this locality. The boil worm is
also dong considerable mischief From all the
unfavorable indications at present, we fear that
the cotton crop in this district will fall short
nearly quite one-third what it promised to be
two months ago."

GENERAL EPISCOPAL CONVENTION OF THE UNI
TED STATES. General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the United
States, which holds its session once in three
years, will meet in the City Of New York on The
7th Of October next. Bishop Stevens, in late
circular, referring to the fact, says:
In this great council Of our church will be
gathered, for the first time since 1859, bishops,
Clergy and laity from all Of the United States.
It will comprise larger number OF bishops and
q larger number of dioceses than any OF our
previous councils. The business which will be
brought before it is of the deepest Importance
to the well-being Of the church, now and
hereafter. The erection Of six or seven
new dioceses and missionary jurisdictions;
several bishops; the readjustment OF our
code Of canons to new phases Of ch 1rch
growth and action; the various memorials
touching vital points OF faith. ritual and disci-
pline, which will be presented: the recasting
of the whole foreign missionary work OF the
church; the needed revision OF the course Of
studies for candidates for Holy Orders, as pre-
scribed by tho House Of Bishops; the devising
OF new and enlarged agencies Of church edu-
cation and church extension; the methods by
which we can best minister to the spiritual
needs of the poor, the working GLASSES, the
freedmen, the fallen of every grade, on the one
hand, as well as reach and successfully grapple
with the various forms OF rationalism and un-
believing science on the other. These and
other equally great questions, each big with
untold consequences, will engage the delibera-
tion of the Legislative council. In addition to
these matters, which pertain specifically to
conventional action, there are many other top.
les connected with the operation Of the several
great voluntary societies in the church, which
hold their meetings at the same time. and the
proceedings of which will have moulding in
Auence on the church at large.

would vote with the Democrats. Awayfro n
large towns, railroad lines and centres OF the
LOYAL Leagues, the blacks are not as rank
Radicals as many suppose; In conversation
with them it will be found that they are dis.
appointed in not having received come direct
and tangible benefit from their former voting,
and could easily be persuaded to remain away
from the polls. Thousands Of them live on
plantations which are 6ve,. ten or fifteen miles
from the polls. The walk there and back is
long and tiresome, and unless strongly urged
by their leaders, many would not, for to
them an abstract idea, take the trouble to
vote.
How easy, then. it would be for the farmers
to get M a little dinner or frolic fer their en-
ployees and their black neighbors on the day
of the election. and thus materially diminish
their vote. The chances OF success for the De-
mocratic party would be vastly enhanced If
each white man who could control five or more
negro men would remain with them on that
y, and at the same time urging all other
whites to go and cast their votes.
There are about 60, 900 white voters in the
State to 10000 blacks. The largest vote cast
as vet by the Republican party is less than
II, 900, and that was when little or no e1ertion
was made by the Democrats. II 1000 whites,
by absentjne themselves ffom the polls, could
keep back on an average fge black voters each,
it ls not improbable that there will be sufi-
cient number of others Of the newly enfran-
chised who will vote the Democratic ticket, and
thus enable us to cast the six electoral votes OF
South Carolina for Seymour and Blair.

TEE MEsKEN.-The Saturday Review, IN
notice Of Adah haacs Menken's poems, says:
II other pens fail, her own has not been
wanting If her career inspired no other muse,
at least il hndled the lyric fires OF her own,
and she only dismounted the fleet steed OF the
arena to get astride the winged Pegasus OF
immortal verse. AS at Astley's she loved to re-
mind fallen man OF he simple habits, or ab-
sence of habits, Of the primitive Eden, 80 in
her verse all is unsophistcated, frank, unre-
served. We are taken into her inmost conf.
dence no aspiration Of the soul, no heart
yearnIng, no inmost recess of the dream cham
ber of the spirit remains unrevealed, any more
than Of old was any shapely limbed oc gra-
cious curve hidden from boxes, pit or gallery.
TO take off the clothes Of the soul for the pub
lie behoof is conventionally looked upon as in
offensive compared with taking off the clothes
Of the body, so that the people who might
have shrunk from going to see the late Miss
Mepken's performances at Astleys may turn
to the book without scruple Or fear. The e1-
posure in the latter case is strictly harmless,
and absolutely without scandal.
We are in the presence OF passionate Iup-
per. Imagine that the dull sage OF Albury
had been born at New Orleans, and had been
taught to ride circus horses, and go bad had
his blood made to run bot and swift in his
veins, and You have the spirit and the m amer
of hve'sctd.

A DUEL ON goRsEDAcK.--T Corpus
Christi Advertiser has the particulars OF q
bloody and fatal sffray which took place at
Oakville, on the 22d ult. between Mr. Hender-
son Williams and Sic Brown, about some
beeves that were turned into herd against
the wish Of MIR. Williams. Some angry words
occurred at first, which eliminated IN the
drawing Of weapons, which were heavy dra-
ed, at eaca successive shot they charged up
closer to their dreadful work. The fring was
rapid and the combatants became enveloped
in the smoke Of th ir weapons, which Tapped
together on the lost round. MIR. Browns fir
ing was wild. owing, no doubt, to the fact that
he received mortal centre shot from Wll-
lams' first fire, although be sat on his horse
firmly, until shot the third time through the
body, which, entering the heart, he fell q
corpse on the instant. Williams was pnhurt,
but his horse was shot in the head, and was
fractions and unruly during the fight. Both
parMes had nu bers Of W Il armed friends on
the ground, but no assistance or interference
was offered, and the issue vas fairly and
squarely tested
