servers, as soon as General Grant
has been a month in power, will
be the confidence inspired in
people Of ali parties and political
creeds.
Grant, as a soldier, understands
we'll the bounds ofco ordinate and
subordinate authority. Congress
will not be suffered to encroach
upon his prerogatives as the Exc
cutive, nor he attempt to encroach
upon Congress as the legislative
department of the government. A
soldier is used both to command
and okey-an admirable training,
say what civilians will, for any
administrative office, from pound
keeper up to President.
We shall make bold to predict
that he will realize more than any
man who has sat in the Chief
Magistrates chair since Andrew
Jackson the Executive idea which
should be the central idea connect
ed with the Presidency.

r The proposed Grant Demonstra-

by General Grant,
- A Washington letter of Tuesday,
to the Baltimore Gazette, says:
Although the Congress of the
United States was in session
to-day for fifteen. minutes at
the, capitol, yet the feature of
the day has been the rich scene
enacted at the headquarters Of
General Grant, In spite Of all
General Grants efforts to the con-
trary, coterie of small politicians
thrust themselves into his pre-
sence, with view to securing the
Generals assent to a public de-
monstration by the Radicals of
this city. The 5000 capes and an
equal number Of torches. which
had been purchased, must be used,

Galena, Illinois, by an immense
crowd. In response to repeated
calls, the General stepped out upon

multitude as follows: -:

ditional mark of your kindness.
Sufficient, I suppose, has'no# been
heard of the result of the late eiec.

suppose it is no egotism in me to -ay
that the choice has fallen on me-.
The responsibilities of the position
[ feel, but accept them. without
fear, if I can have the same sup,
port which has been given to me
thus far: [ thank you and all
others who have fought together
in this contest-a contest in which
you are all interested personally

than I am. [ now take the oeca-
sion to bid you goodbye, as I leave
here tomorrow for Washing ton,
andprobably will see but few ofy III
again for some years to come, al
though ait would give me great
pleasure to make an annual pill
grimage to place where [ have
enjoyed myself SO much as I have

At the conclusion of this first
speech Of the Presidsnt elect the
crowd gave nine deafening cheers
for General Grant.

Autumn Flowing.
Very respectfully,
D. WYATT AIKEN.

AuLuIuu F1OWlIlS!
A correspondent sums up the
more important advantages to be
derived from turning. over the
soil in autumn, under the following
heads:
l. August and September is q
good time to turn over bound out
sod land, and manure and re-seed
it at once to grass, obtaining a
crop of hay the following year.
2. October, and November is an
excellent time to break up sod
land for planting the following
spring.
8. The weather is then cool and
bracing, and the team strong and
hearty for the work, while the
weather in. the spring is more re-
laxing and team less able; and
spring work being always hurry
ing, it saves time to despatch as
much Of the plowing as possible
during the previous autumn.
4. Sod land, broken up late in
autumn, will be quite free from
growing grass the following spring
the roots Of the late overturned
sward being SO generally killed by
the Immediately succeeding winter
that not much grass will readily
start in spring:
5. The frosts Of winter disinte-
crate the plowed land, so that it
readily crumJles in fine particles
in spring, and a deep mellow: seed
bed is easily made. The chemical
changes and notifications result
ing from atmospheric action during
the winter, develop latent fertility
in the upturned burrows, which
together, with the mcllowing in
faenccs, materially increase: the
crop. 49,,
6.,Most kinds Of: insects are eli:
.ther wholly destroyed, or their
deprcdations materially checked,
by late fall plowing, especially the
common white grub and the cut
worm. -.
7...Corn stubble land may be plow-
ed late in the fall, and thus all be
ready for very early sowing in
spring, thereby going far to ins'irc
a good catch Of grass; the roots Of
the new Seeding getting hold we'll,
or being we'll established, before
the droughts Of summer come
on.
s. A great deal of land needs
deeper plowing than has generally
been practiced. Where the sub
soil is fine grained, and unctuous
and close, or where there is a hard
pan of good quality, deep plowing
may be at once resorted to, with
decided advantage. Where the
subsoil is poorer, the plowing may
still be advantageously deepened
by degrees, say an inch at. each
new breaking up. But in by'far
a minority of cases, deep plowing
may be practiccd at oncc-indeed |
it may be the rule, with safety,
while shallow plowing may be the
exception. Plow, say nine, ten,
eleven Or twelve inches in Nov

CoKEsBURY, Nov. 16. 1868.


Gov. r. K. Scott-SIR: On the
morning of the 9th inst. my house
was entered by a posse, consisting
Of two deputies and three United
States soldiers, armed as if they
were about attacking stronghold
of brigands. One of the deputies,
addressing me, said, "Colonel, I
am sorry to say you are my pri-
soner." Upon questioning his au-
thority, Learned hehad a warrant,
issued by Magistrate Solomon, of
Columbia, to arrest me in Abbe-
Vile, and deliver me to Constable
Hubbard in Columbia, upon the
affidavit Of said Hubbard, that. I
was accessory before the fact to
the murder of one B. f. Randolph.
:. Under the old regime, this posse
might, have been defed, and the
consequences would have been
upon their heads, for attempting
to execute an illegal warrant.
But surmising that extraordinary
powers had been conferred by the
constahulary act of the recent rad
ical Legislature, 1 offered no re-
sistance; hence was taken: to Co.
lumbia, and without an examina-
ton was felonioasly incarcerated
and keptin close confinement for
two days. Since my release I
have carefully perused the "act
establishing police force" and
discover that if this ambiguous
act means anything at all, it sim.
ply means that the whole consta-
bulary force have but concurrent
authority with the other civil
officers Of the various. counties,
and therefore Magistrate Solomon
had not the semblance OF author
ty to issue a warrant in Richland
for my arrest in Abbeville. !:
Now, sir, this Chief Constable
is an hireling Of yours and this
venture Of his to exercise auto
cratical, arbitrary and illegal pow
,ers, seems to imply your conni-
vance. If it does not, whence
his assumption ofpower, and why
no evidence Of your restraining
authority? Whence does he de-
rive power to arrest me in Abbe-
vile and Jail me in Columbia?
Whence his power to arrest two
young men in Newberry and dun
geon them in the capital Of the
State? Whence his power'to res
cue Kelly from the hands Of the
sheriff in Camden, incarcerate
him in Columbia, and direct the
sheriff Of Richland to shackle
him, as he did while [ was there
imprisoned Is this what is
meant by the words Of the act,
which read as follows: "Said
Chief Constable Of the State and
Deputy Chief and Deputy Con-
stables in the several counties
shall at all times obey and execute
the orders Of the Governor in
relation to the preservation Of the
public peace and the execution of
the laws throughout the State ~
= Think you, sir, that if in the in
tenseness of. your determination
to preserve the public peace, YOU
should cruelty treat a single unof-
Tending citizen, you are appeasing
the wrath of an oppressed ku;

tive justify acts of violence on the

Prolonging the War.

The New York Tribune begins long
article of tbs most malignant misrepre-
sentaiion of the political sentiments Of
the Southern people, with the sentence
dearly as the American people loved
peace, many of them feared that the war
would end too soon." " From many men
in the North comes the assurance that
the war for the Union ended too soon. u
We dare say that is the prevailing senti.
ment among a good many contractors
and spectators, as well as the Tribune
school of philanthropists, who, gushing
with such compassion for all human
tribulslion that they weuld not send even
murderers TO the gallows, can deal in
such talk as the following TO those whose
only ofense is a difference of political
opinion:
ave are taught every day that the
war should have been indefinitely pro-
longed; that the rebellion should have
been crushed inch by inch. till its leaders
had died in battle or fed from the coun
try; till its armies had dwindled into
bands Of robbers; till it had been driven
into the woods and swamps, TO starve and
perish, where the negro had starved and
persisted in the days when the rebellion
was only an uplifted menace in that in
sulting hand which slavery shook in the
face of tie republic. Victory was as
premature, as we are assured. in 1865 as
it would have been 10 1862. Nothing
was decided by the war, if we trust the
defiance now hurled at us by the South.
1t has gone back to 1860, aud proposes
to begin over again"
We fancy that the people who thought
that the war would end too soon" are
not those who did the fighting, but are
mostly persons who, from the serene and
secure positions wherein they were able
to obtain exemption from military SER
vice, snuffed the battle afar of, and who,
if the war had continued till the end of
time, would never have been profaned
by the smell of gunpowder Such a
programme as the Tribune has marked
out in the above paragraph, founded on
the amazing falsebood that the South
proposes to begin the war over again."

darkness, or of professional philan-
thropist.-Baltimore Sun.
