NEWBERRY, S. c.
Wednesday Morning, Aug. 4, 1869.

The high excitement which has prevailed
in Edgeield for several weeks recently took
tangible form, when 2i0 Winchester rifles
with necessary ammunition arrived at the
Pine House. Eichelberger and Hubbard with
some fifty negroes, appeared in Edgeheld
Village with said guns, last Thursday after"
noon. An order from Gov. Scott. for por'
ton of the jail in which to place the arms,
was complied with, and there they are
guarded by armed negroes. A company Of
100 negro militia (th3 Advertiser learns), are
to be drilled We have no doubt but that
this IS the initial step. And that Newbcrry
and all the other counties will be thus iuva-
ded.
The radical party have become restive un.
der NE harmony which exists between the
colored people and their white friends,
fearing lest said reciprocity might jeopardize
their interests in the next election, and are
doubtless seeking to break up said good feel>
ing.
In Charleston, an immense black riot was
iminent last week, and in Barnwell an elec>
ton terminated in bloody rencontre.
Thus it would appear that G pre-concerted
move is q foot to precipitate strife, and cre-
ate capital fol, and cement together, the par
! ty of great moral ideas, in orler to carry
elections.
We hope that under any circumstances
the courageous forbearance heretofore exer-
| cised by our citizens under numerous aggra>
| vatious will be continued, and that if trouble
must needs result, let the same emanate
from the party of agitation.

affords. as real pleasure to note from tine tc
time the enterprise and thrift among oul
farmers in introducing and developinf finer
cereals and fruits, &C., than could for merly be
found upon our soil. This time Mr.. Thos.

pie of the Norway Oats. The seed Is beau

yielded crop of fifytone bushels.
Owing to the apparent change Of seasons.

Since, the party of great moral ideas"
has bad possession of the good old city
Of Charleston, there have been more
rows, more euarrels, more holding to
bail, more swearing, than had occurred
in that quiet town for fifty years past.
The coritagion of'the atmosphere of city
politics, seems to have seized upon the
United States Custom House. s. ....:..
A. g.. Mackey, good radie'l and or
thodox negro. .worshipper, has been re.
!, moved from the office of Collector, and
G. w. Clark, a wishy washy yankee ex-
Sutler, and ex-Mayor has been appointed
IN his place. Why the Srhynx turned
Mackey out, we cannot divine-but sup
pose twas owing to his having received
lis appointment from Andy johnson.
Grant seems to have but thtee ideas
cigars, presests, and hatred of ANDY
johnson.
However Mackey has been rejected
and Clark received as the Simon pure.
Clark puts his commission in bis
pocket, and politely asks Dr.. Mackey TO
retire. Mackey requires time to make
out lis inventory Of public property, and
obtain Clark'ss receipt therefor. Clark
wont wait, must have the office right
away. Mackey grows indignant, calls
upon his understrappers, aud mildly
elects Clark. -. .-.... . =
= Clark has Mackey arrested for an
assault-and slips into the place while
ihe Doctor is at the Magistrates. -.
Mackey, Jr., has Clark arrested and
bailed as peljurer, and there the matter
ends for the present. The whole affair
is more laughable than reputable.
We give, DR.. Mackey credit for telling
one truth--during the heat of the con-
test-ae remarked: The Office OF
Collector Of Customs in Charleston
has been hitherto held by gen
tlemen.", IF the Doctor will let the
above fake date previous TO his own
appointment, we will heartily endorse

4 most unfortunate alteration in
the Main Street of Union, on Thursday
last, between John Sanders and I. j.

Glena's spring-our Trip Home-Ths Next
- - -: Horse, &c. .t..

We arrived at home Unexpectedly on
Tuesday last, without an opportunity be-
fore hand of taking up the thread Of our
correspondence begun at Cherokee Spring.
A scjourn. of about twelve days at that
place proved of great benefit to us, but
restless feeling which prompted change in
duced us to try the Gienn's Spring. A few
days there evidenced beyond all doubt, the
efficacy of that water as remedial agent in
our case. For liver diseases and dyspepsia.
the Glenn's Water cannot be excelled. and
we would not be doing unto others" in
accordance with the divine injunction did
we not say to the afflicted, broken down,
emaciated dyspeptic, go there and be
healed. A number of chronic cases this sea-
soa have already been brought away from
deaths door almost, and now are able to
take their places among men once more.
The case of DR.. j. D. Bruce Of Newbery,
who many of our readers recoilect, left here
iu most precarious condition, is remark
able proof ofthe virtues of that water. His
many friends will be glad to learn that he is
recovering his health.
The season there is just fairly opening. and
it is expected that q pleasant and lively
company will fill up the cabins and hotel
soon, and just here we would advise all who
think Of going. to be on the alert before it
be too late. A few cabins are still vacant,
and may be had ou application to Mr.. AM
derson, the proprietor. who we are pleased
TO state, we found very clever and oblis>
ing gentleman Double cabins are $50. sin>
gle, S25 the season, and board at the hotel,
with good fare, $40 per month. Private
boarding at distance of three quarters Of
mile from the Spring, at Mrs. Bobo's, may
be had for less. Mrs. B. is an excellent
lady, kind and attentive, and always ready
to crafty the wishes of her guests. For
convenience, however, the hotel is much to
be preferred, on account of easy access TO
the water, while for economy aud domestic
retirement, families will find the cabin life
much the best. So much for this.
The journey down in company with Mr..
Henry Halfacre and his lady, who kindly
gave us seat in their rockaway, was a
rough one, owing to the roads taken, which
being short cuts generally, so>called, proved
to be the longest in the end, and the most
broken. How we survived the jolting and
rubbing, and escaped with whole bones is a
marvel. We can safely say that ou. friend,
H., has had enough of short cuts, and will
try the old travelled thoroughfares hereafter,
as we win. "Jordan's hard road cannot
be compared to some passed over on that
occasion. Another serious discomfort too,
was the difficulty along the route of obtain
ing meals victuals, feed for mules. or
place in which to rest our weary heads.

A Valuable Suggestion.

a friend, recently made a suggestion,
which in our opinion deserves the at
tenton Of Agricultural Fair Associa-
tons. He proposes that, in place of
money, small premiums shall at the OPP
ton of the recipient, be aewarded in the
shape of agricultural and horticultural
books, or in free subscriptions for one or
more years to some standard agricurtu-
raj paper.
This proposition strikes us as practi-
cal, as well as excellent in its tend 'ncy.
Many of our farmer friends, we opine,
would derive n much greater benefit
from the careful pcrusal and study. each
week or month, of Coimaa's Rurak
World, the american Stock Journa,,
the New York -igricuituTist, or some
other of the many able and excellent
agricultural papers now published in
this country, than they arc likely to de-
rive from the receipt ola dollar or tive
awarded ut Il county Fair.
We hope this excellent suggestio,
! will receive the consideration it &c
serves. - Weekly Tribune, JcBcrSo.

However the demand should turn the
attention Of Tennessee farmers to mule

In 1850 Tennessee raised more mules
