Billiards Panorama Of the city OF
New York, which was exhibited here
on Saturday and Monday evenings, is a
work of art, eminently worthy the pat
ronage of the public. 1t gives faithful
picture of the great city in all its bust
ness, hustle and confusion; All the public
buildings, as faithfully transformed to
canvass as art is capable of, and in fact
everything that is exhibited is so natural
that person cannot help thinking but
that he is walking through the streets of
the great city. 1t is worth more than
double the price of admission.

AURORA BoREALIs. number of our
citizens witnessed between the hours of
II and l O clock on Friday night the finest
exhibition of Aurora Borealis ever seen in
this neighborhood. The northern por-
ton ofthe heavens was covered with white
light, and moving pillars of light shot up
towards heaven. At times the different
coiors of the rainbow would sud
denly burst upon the view. and dis
appear as rapidly. The sight was a
grand ope-far beyond our description.

EXCURSION ON THE ALPENA- During
these hot summer days an excursion on
the lake is surely the best place for rea
Enjoyment that a person can possibly
find. On last Saturday evening, not
withstanding the short notice given thai
the steamer 4lpe,sa would give an excur
sion, quite a large company of ladies' ano
gentlemen both from this village and
Two Rivers took advantage of this fine
opportunity for enjoying q season of ''mu-
sic, fun and dancing"
The officers of the boat, who are as
pleasant and jovial set as a person can
come across, were well prepared for the
excursionists, and it is hardly necessary
to state that they were perfectly success
full in making the excursion very pleasant
and one that was enjoyed by the entire
company,
The lake was calm and smooth as a
table. No ripple disturbed the blue wa
tiers of our beautiful lake; In fact it was
just the evening for such an occasion and
the very best that the excursionists could
have wished for.
The Two Rivers Brass Band and a
String Band were engagrd for the occa-
SION and dlscoursed excellent music du-
nng the evening. Those who wished to
ENJOY the pleasures of the dance, had am
pie opportunity, and many took part in
it
After ride of about four hours dura-
ZION the company returned to the If homes
glad that they were among thee ompanv
composing the very pleasantex, ,x;oo q,
the steamer Alpeno.

EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

Gen. s. B. BUcKNBR, known to fame as gallsnf
Confederate soldier, has become associated with
the Louisville Daily Courier in it's editorial de-
partment. This is one of the most popular jour-
nails published in the country, and Gen. BucKNsn
VII. doubtless tend to increase that popularity.
From his salutatory, We make the following ex-
tract:
1t is needless to say that my connection with the
Courier will in no respect change its advocacy OF
those principles of free government whieh were i-
herited from our fathers. and which are so sefi-
ously endangered by revolution still in progress,
While justly difEdent of my ability to discharge
with satisfaction TO the public the duties imposed
upon an editor, expect and ask no exemption
from their Just criticism. In that position, as IN
every other in life, mems acts must ever be con-
sidered by the public as the measure of their merit
Judged by this rule can confidently clsims
whatever may be my deficiencies in other respects,
that my past acts have at least given proof Of my
sincerity and have shown that motives Of patriot
ism we're not subordinated to feeling Of self-iu-
terest.
Claiming then, from The public no further ir-
diligence than that which is willingly accorded to
sincerity and fidelity, propose 10 contribute as
fully as l can to the advocacy of those principles
of civil liberty. the maintenance of which deeply
affects the welfare of every citizen and inhabitants
of the country.

TIE co1uMn1A CONVECTION.

We presume that not over half q dozen Districts
.will be represented in the Convention called to
meet in Columbia on Monday last At least, 80
far as we judge at this writing, TUESDAY
morning,) delegates have not been appointed from
more than six Districts. If, then, the April Con-
vsntion, where twenty Districts had a voice. did
not represent the State, it will be grossly improper
spr less number to send forth their views as en-
hodying.the' expressed will Of the Democratic par
" of South Carolina. We hope that moderation
and Cancellation viii prevail, and that harmony
and unity viii result from sheir action, instead Of
Sdiscord and division. We cannot afford to divide
oEnstrsngth, and must not allow petty jealouses
or sectional rancor to como between our party and
final success. If the Charleston movement prove
unsuccessful, why not unite upon the April plat
form, which will seem to have the acquiescence of
amsjority

DEMocRAcY AGAIN TRIUMPHANT.

Notwithstanding the trickery resorted to by the
desperate leaders of the defunct Radical party in
this District, and the assistance rendered them by
1yeak-knoed. brethren in the Democratic fold, the
ptraight conservative nomination for the several
District ofccs'has been successful by large vote
The majority is between six and seven hundred, in
total vote of less than twenty-three hundred !
This result is encouraging to- every lover Of good
order, aad especially gratifying to all interested
IN the future Of OUT section Itspeaks plainly the
Intentions and purposes of the white people, who
are determined to adhere faithfully to the nomi-
nees Of their own party, under any and every cir
cumstance. Its thunder-tones will not fall upon
Nstless ears, when Radical of6ce-seekers view the
figures, and reflect that they have reckoned with
out their host, and that SO far as this District is
concerned their power is gone forever

TRIAL OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.
RICHMOND. juno 8, 1855


The United States Court met this morning,
Chief Justice Chase and Judge Underwood presi-
ding.
The Chief Justice called the case Of Mr.. Davis,
when Mr.. Anderson, of Mississippi, one of the
counsel for defence, read the agreement for post
ponemcnt till October, signed by Evarts and
O'Connor.
The Chief Justice then asked if the counsel
were ready for trial independent of this stipula-
ton. Governor Wells, for the prosecution, re-
piled that in view of the absence of the District
Attorney, whose wife is in dying condition, the
absence of the prisoner, caused by this stipula-
tion, and the absence of Mr.. Evarts, who stood IN
position of more directly representing the Attor-
ney General, the case could not well be gone on
with He suggested some day of this term In
October when the Chief Justice could attend. The
counsel for the defence moved for postponement
till next term, which the Chief Justice granted
saving, at the Same time that bad the trial taken
place year ago, or last Fall, or now, it would
have been more convenient for him, as he was
ready to try the case. He would, however, attend
next term if possible in view of his other duties.
Witnesses, including Gen. R. E. Lee, were re-
cognized to appear on the fourth Monday in No
yember, and the prisoners bail-bond was renewed.

1.-THE ULTRA Ku KLux."

Our readers wilf ,omeaber, perhaps, that some
timo ago We made mention of paper in Texas
bearing the title Of J,mplecue. This delectable
name is now e1oelled by another in the same town,
TO wit The Ultra Ku Kzur, published at Jefferson,
.wesas OF So per annum. In order to show the
fone. styIe and temper of this new candidate for
nublic favor, we will append the following from
its prospectus:
Until the present illberal and proscriptve policy
Of the enemies of our country is reversed, defeated
rebuked and abandoned, this paper will bear the
title above, after which happy event it will assume
ite name OF dignity-lHs Ultra.
The Ru Klaz is designed as campaign paper
and intends to criticise without stint or mercy tho
s'vagabond rabble" who would degrade the white
below the negro;raoe.
This 10 dirty work but somebody must do it,
and the U1tra Ku Kluz being well impressed that
Sorbesrance was never virtue, and that truth and
error are extremes, will abuse the carpet baggers
and scallawags up to the hub for the money. This
paper will advocate the Democratic theory OF our
goYernTnsnt, and will heartily cooperate with
yhite men and Democrats throughout tho length

DEATH OF GEN. MILLER.

Gen. ANDREW MILLER died at the residence of
his son, Judge John c. Miller, in Henderson, Rusk
county, Texas, at 90 minutes past o'clock, on
18th April from general debility, arising from ex-
treme old age, in his 89th year.
Gen. Miller born in Abbeville District, ,.
c., May %, 1889, commencing life with The second
wear of the United States Government. He lived
to see it subjected 20 many trials and revolutions
and ea7es it in very different condition from
that which marked its early history. His public
life commenced in 1919 fifty four years ago) as
Lieutenant in the army of the war of 1917. In 1916
he was elected to the Legislature from Pendleton,
S. C. He served ten years in that body, distin-
gushing himself as of great energy and
ready comprehension in legislative matters. CAL
houn was then in his prme-he AMI Gen. MILLER
were friends and compeers. In 1S2OGen MILLER
removed to Georgia-was elected TO the State Sen-
ate in 1923, and remained member of that body,
with the exception of one year, till 1881. He
welded large influence in the Legislature. In
1927 he accepted the position of Major General in
the Georgia Militia, which lie held for many years.
With the close of the Presidential campaign OF
1910, he dated the close of his political course.
During this campaign he filled the position OF Eec-
tor for the State at large. on the Houston ticket,
with much honor TO himself and 10 the Wing Party.
In the Spring of 1914 lie removed Texas, settled
in Rush county, directing his attention chiefly to
agricultural pursuits Though often solclteu he
would never run for office in Texas.
GEN. MILLER was man of superior intellect,
and retained the vgor of his mind 10 the last. He
was ell his life student-was profound politician
-an accurate historian-thoronghl yersed in all
agricultural subjects, and one Of the best Biblical
scholars lie took great interest in the natural
resources of the country.
Gen. Miller after his removal to Texas, gave
much attention TO domestic maters-to the making 6
of his home pleasant and inviting lie planted
and successfully grew, the first apple orchard IN
Rusk county; demonstrating that this fruit could
bo successfully grown in this climate-rhe prevail
ing opinion to the contrary notwithstanding. His
orchard still remains in fourishing conGiion-a
monument to his enterprise and good taste.
In the death of Gen. MILLER, a great and good
man has been removed. ..Peace be to his ashes. "

THE COUNTY ELECTION.

We are highly gratifed to state that the Demo-
Gratis have made large gains in almost every Dis
trict, especially in the up-country. The following
items are gathered from exchanges and private in
formation:
In Laurens District, the Democrats carried the
day by 554 majority-the entire ticket elected.
The Herald crows Justify, and well it may, for its
talented editor contributed much to bring about
the victory.
In Union, the Democrats are successful by 200
majority, with full radical ticket in the field
In SpartanBurg, the Democratic majority is
1900, which still proclams that noble old District
as the standard-bearer of Democracy.
In Marion, the entire Democratic ticket elected,
excepting one county commissioner.
In Lancaster, the conservatives have majority
of 200. The registered white majority is about
100, showing that the negroes are voting with
their former masters.
In York, the probable majority of the conserv-
atiyes is more than 200. Full returns not yet re-
ceived.
In Greenville, there is an aggregate Democratic
majority of more than 800.
In Abbsville, as far as heard from, the Demo
Gratis have majority of 14S. This is glorious
work, for the negroes outnumbcr the whites near
ly three to one.
In NewberrT, there was combination ticket,
voted for by both parties, but composed for the
most part Of conservatives.
In Oconee, the Democrats ore again successful,
and by an increased majority, probably 600. En-
tire Democratic ticket elected
In Pickcns, the result is doubtful, but may be
attributed to so many voters calling themselves
Democrats remaining away from the polls.
From these figures, we are inclined to think
South Carolina will vote Democratic next Novem-
her
