GREENUIIE AND COLUMBIA RAILROAD.

We arc happy to observe the steady improve
ment of this Road under its present management.
Through freight cars are now passing from
Charleston to Greenyille, without breaking bulk,
and we know that some Of our merchants have
been surprised at the early reception OF goods
from market. This facility in transportation al
ways increases business and attracts trade from
distance, and in this instance will not fail. Be-
sides this noticeable feature in the transmission OF
freights, the comforts and convenience OF passen-
gers are not overlooked, and elegant coaches have
been recently placed upon the main line. Under

TIE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

The AGONY is over; the elections in the great
Middle and Western Stnles, upon which the whole
country looked with intense interest and anxiety,
took place on Tuesday of last week. The returns
by telegraph have been conflicting and unsatistac-
tory, and though whole week has elapsed we are
unable to present correct statement OF the result
Enough is known, however, to Warrant the 1oilow-
ing summary
The Republican majority in Ohio is nearly lo'-
900, and the Democrats have gained on an IN.
increased vote. When We remember thai the to's'
vote in the Buckeye State is about q half mililon
the majority against us seems exceedingly small
The Democrats have gained three Congressman IN
Ohio
Tha result in Indiana remains in doubt. HEN
np,eKs. the Democratic candidate for Governor, is
thought to be elected, though official returns are
necessary to decide. Four Democrats elected to
Congress, including VOORHEES,. Five hundred
votes will decide the Gubernatorial contest.
Pennsylvania gives small Radical majority,
but the official vote only will determine. The
Democrats gain five Congressneu.- Our friends
are not discouraged by the result, and expect to
carry the State in November.
Such is the news We have to offer this morning
to our readers The most sanguine expected bet
ter results, and We must confess that there is dis
appointment among many. The first intelligence
that flashed over the wires was greatly discourag-
ing, but every day has stimulated hope and held out
stronger inducements to persevere unto the end.
But, no matter what has been the result elsewhere
there ought to be no relaxing of energy here We
are striving for domestic peace and tranquility,
and on the unity and success of the Democratic
party in this State will depend tho future veal or
woe Of all our people, white and colored. In the
language of the address published elsewhere,
swhen the timo for registration shall come, let no
man (not already regiscred) fail to appear and
none fail to vote. Let each one remember that his
individual rote may decide the election, and that
the Electoral Vote of the State may turn the scale
in favor of the Democratic party"
We cannot afford to despond nor despair. Then,
be Of good cheer, and every exertion to arouse
the whole Democratic strength of the District, aud
make lasting record in favor of peace and quie-
tude at home.

STATE CENTRAL CLUB.

According to the published notice, this central
authority of the Democratic party convened in
Columbia OH last Thursday night. Twenty-three
Districts were represented. The President, Gen.
WADE HAMproN occupied the chair. The ensuing
session was occupied in the discussion of impor-
tant matters and the reception of verbal reports
from I'll the Districts, and The Club didnot adjourn
until one o'clock on Friday morning. In conse-
quence of our engagement with the District Club
on Saturday, we were compelled to leave that
morning, and thus deprived of any participation
in the further proceedings. We observe the fol-
lowing resolution, published in the Phenir, which
was unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That the State Central Club of South
Carolina cordially endorse the views, statements
and sentiments expressed by General Robert E. Lee,
in his letter to General Rosencrans; believing
that the utterances of General Lee reflects faith
fully the opinions. wishes and feelings of every
true man in South Carolina.
The admirable address to the Democratic party,
issued under authority of this Club is published in
our columns to-day. We commend perusal of
this address to every voter in the District, as en-
bodying the spirit and policy which should actuate
every lover of his country in this momentous crisis

To PREVENT Rust IN PLows.-A CORE.
spondent Of the Rural World gives the fol-
lowing, which he says he has tried success
fully; it is simple and worth adopting:
None but plowman knows the advan.
tage Of having bright plow. The writer
has tried a great many articles to prevent
plows and other agricultural implements
from rusting. There is nothing so good and
handy as patent axle grease. I have used
tallow, paint and Japan varnish, but the
axle grease is always convenient and easily
applied.
