The Governor. Proclamation.

When the Legislature has made appli
cation torhe President for troops, wher
they have been promised to all the exten
necessary to preserve order, and wher
troops are already on the way TO the
State, we can see no excuse for the
proclamation Of Brownlow which we
publish to-day. Even if we did not have
peace in the State, and there we're some
others besides that madman's own instru-
ments committing outrages, the United
States would be more than sufficient to
sustain the ordinary officers OF
the law, where there was COMES
sedly no organized opposition. We
can see no motive in the Governor
except to crafty his 6endish passions,
run the State to bankruptcy, and bring on
the very condition of things which troops
might be useful to subdue. He is deter
mined 10 rule by malignants and cut
threats, who will esmmit outrsges-
taking all advantage Of the free license
he gives them-so as to bring on collision
enough at lsaat to save appearances,
and excuse the calling for United States
troops, for which really there was no
reason except that he and bis creatures
are determined to Cypress and rule by
the strong hand-knowing that, with any.
thing like an honest and benignant gov
eminent, they would be as promptly dis
placed from the places they disgrace as
the commonest rascals would be from
association with reputable men.
Gen. Thomss is in command OF the
United States troops, and has the con-
fidence of the Radical party. Why then
should he not be trusted until some
emergency arises requiring some more
force than be already has at command
in aid of the officers of the law? We
cannot conceive that the Governors call
for organization means anything but
mischief To say the least it means to
oyerbear and intimidate at the polls and
control the election, for WHICH the dis
reimbursement Of eighty thousand men is
deemed insufficient. We fervently pray
it may result In nothing worse.
To slow the full sympathy of Brown
low with the Hamiltonian Radical wing,
and his wicked determination even in
excess of that wing itself, the proclama-
ton vas prepared even before the pas
sage Of the militia btu eH WHICH it is
founded. And it is now issued in despite
of the fact that resolution was passed
by the Legislature against the issuance
of proclamation until the last moment
when it should become evident that the
United States troops and the ordinary
officers Of the law were insufficient The
President we trust will take the whole
matter effectively 10 hand. The peace
of ihe State depends upon it. il is no
part of Brownlow's intention to have
peace except on the condition that be
reigns even more supreme in his particu
lar hell than Lucifer ir his.

Messrs. Scherck and Morgan have

Monday OF the present month. BY reso-
luton both Houses were adjourned ia
that time, and the presiding officers were
directed then to adjourn their respective
Houses TO the first Monday in Deem
ber, "unless otherwise ordered. 1t takes
full quorum in both houses to
otherwise order" To insure the at
tendance of quorum, Radical COM
mittee was appointed to watch the
progress of events, and decide whether
the interests ftbe Radical party required
another meeting Of Congress before the
Presidential election. This committee
has decided that Congress ought to meet
as soon as the result Of the October else-
tious is known, to take such steps as the
interests of the Radical party may then
require. The programme is 10 assembl

WATER! WATER! WATER !

Joseph Stowe, from Concord, North Caro-.
lima, intends to be in Newberry with his
celebrated Well boring implement in about
eight or ten days. I can bore better well
with my augur than any other in the South
ern States. Ny wells are twelve inches in
diameter, and all other wells that know of
are only eight inches in diameter. The
bored wells need no Recommendation, they
are an established fact, having been in use
in this part of North Carolina, and in some
parts of South Carolina, for twelve or fifteen
years, and are still gaining favor wherever
they are introduced. will give few of
the advantages they have over the common
dug well. p
First and most. important, they viii sup
ply more pure and better water than the
common we'll, as they cut off all the surface
water the water of bored we'll has to en-
ter at the bottom of the we'll and if there is
pure water you will get it, as nc surface
water can enter the well. The next advan-
tage they have is in being less expensive
than the common well, in some localities
they are four or FIVE times cheaper than the
common well; they are also superior to the
common we'll as they require no cleaning
out, as no Frog, Toad, Snake, Or any other
reptile can gel into them; you can keep
them as tight as barrel, and keep out all
the trash and Filth which. is liable to be
blown in by the winds and other causes, in
the fall ard winter season. There are seve-
raj other advantages they possess over the
common well, but will only mention one
other, they are almost equal to the best
spring as the water that is drawn out is al
ways fresh from the bottom of the well.
As cannot remain long in Newberry,
