The result of the South Carolina election
must move to shame even the worst Republi
can in any of the Yankee States Scott, the
white Radical Governor, is reelected by 33
534 majority, being almost double Grants
majority in 1868. A. G.. Ramsicr, negro,
is elected Lieutenant Governor Three negro
men, kainey, DeLarge and Elliott, and one
of their white Republican associates are cleo
ted to represent that once admired and envied
Commonwealth in the National Congress.
Eleven out Of the thirty one State Senators,
and eighty out Of the one hundred and twen-
ty-6ur representatives in the lower branch of
the Legislature arc negroes. They have a
negro Secretary of State and negro Justice
Of the Supreme Court. Even that Radical
Journal, the Boston Ad0ertiser, speaks of this
horrible result as "a great but dangerous
victory"
We entertain for tho colored man none but
kindly feelings. We would gladly do all in
our power to improve his condition. and to
promote his welfare. But this cannot be ac-
complishcd by putting him in his present
condition, in overpowering ascendancy over
the white men of this country. Those who
are recklessly trusting the negro into positions
Of unnatural relation to the white man, may
gain some temporary selfish advantages for
themselves, They injure both the white and
black man while they pursue this merciless
course. They will leave the negro to his
misery as soon as they have used him enough.

Mr.. DETnIcK-Dear Sir The following arc
some of the names of parties who have used
Bradley's Super Phosphate, viz: Benjamin Blu
sey, of Berkeley county, has used it for the last
two "ars, and says it's second to no other Phos-
phate and recommends it to all farmers for wheat
corn and sill farm products
Jonathan Thatcher of Berkely county planted
some corn with it in 1868, and in the Fall sowed
the same with wheat, and last year he could
plainly see where every hill of corn was, for the
wheat stood several inches higher, and the heads
were much larger.
Adam Small has been using it the last three
years, and says it is the best wheat producer out
VIM. McGary has used it to great advantage
and says it will pay for itself twice.
James Vanmetre has used it extensively, and
says every farmer should buy it particularly if
he has poor land.
) Levi Tabler, George Small, John Linton, Geo.
Hill have all tried it on corn, wheat, &c., and
can testify to its many virtues.
We are yours, respectfully,

Events of a Month in Europe.

Events OF Month In Europe.
An article in the last plumber of the Edin-
burg Re0icao on the affairs of Europe, thus
commences
"The unclouded skies of glorious July
seemed at the commencement of that month
only to reflect an equally cloudless tranquility
on the face of Europe. Danger indeed there
was from long continued military preparations,
not made without the intent of turning them
to account. But we lived on in fearlessness,
as men live by custom, under some impending
cliff that has quietly hung over them SO long
that they expect it will leave them in peace
yet longer. But before one week Of the
month had passed the storm burst upon the
world. First came diplomatic mutterings, for
which few days only were allowed. Then
followed the ring Of weapons making ready
for the encounter, and the tramp of armed
men. On the End of August, in the insig-
nficant affair Of Saarbruck, the Emperor Of
the French assumed feeble offensive. On
the 9th the Prussans replied theoretically at
WissembuIg And then what torrent, what
a deluge of events. In twenty eight days
ten battles were fought. Three hundred
thousand men were sent to captivity, the hos
pitfalls or to the grave. The German army mad
penetrated into the interior of France, and
stretched forth everywhere the hand of pos
session. The Emperor was prisoner and
deposed; his family wanderers the embryo
Of republic had risen on the ruins of the
empire; while proud and gorgeous Paris was
awaiting the approach of the conquering
and his host"

TIE VIRGINIA VALLEY RAILROAD

wealthy patrons of the Valley railroad, have
an agent in Monroe county who is examing a
route for the extension of that road down the
Valleys of Potts and Indian creeks, thence on
through Tazewell to Cumberland Gap, contin-
uing to Memphis, Tennessee. The report
states that this is a favorite project of the

Tho News from Europe.

For the twentieth time ct least, tho report
has been repeated that the supplies OF Farls
are nearly exhausted, and it is now SAID that
Trochu intends shortly to I"rce ten thousand
paupers from the city, For whom he can no
longer provide food. Reports OF present move
ments from the new field Of operations south
of Paris arc in the main indefinite and some
what conflicting 1t is very evident that an
exciting game of strategy is in progress, well
calculated to give rise to all manner OF reports
and sage predictions.
kilograms have been received from Tours
stating that England, with the approval OF
Ithe Provisional Government, has renewed her
proposals for an armistice, based upon pecu-
mary war compensation, the razing of the from
tier fortrcsses, and the naturalization OF Al
SAGE and Iorrainc-the Great Powers guar
anteeing the ful6lment of these conditions by
any future French Government. Another
dispatch says that the British Government
has firmly demanded of Prussia bona .1ide
armstce, which will permit Fraude to hold
elections.
The reply of Prince Gortschakoff TO Lord
Granville is highly concilatory IN It's tone,
but gives assurance that Russia Is entirely
firm in her position, refutcs the statement that
the contravcntion of the treaty OF PARIS by
the principalitics Injured to her advantage,
and urges that Congress is impractlcable IN
the present state of the principal European
Powers There is division in the English
Cabinet on the situation, and the Queen IS re-
ported to have disapproyed the reply OF Gran
vile as hasty. The latter insists upon Eng
land ''putting her foot down firmly" Lowe
and Cardwel are positively opposed to war
Italy, it is stated, also has disappointed Eng
land, and declares her neutrality. Several
leading English writers have published arti-
clcs IN favor OF peace but there is yet much
agitation and bitter anti Russian feeling in
England. 1t is remarked In political circles
that only Austria is now sufficiently interest
ed IN the Paris treaty to unite with England,
and she, it is asserted, is simply willing to ad-
dress note to Russia, but will not threaten
war France is powerless. Prussia connlves
with Russia, and Italy, as already indicated,
stands off, According to the terms OF the
treaty of Paris, all questions which may arise
under it must be referred to friendly power
preliminary to any act Of hostility, and an O.
vert act must occur to consulate violation
of the treaty. So far, then, at least, there is
barrier to war, neither reference of the cues
ton nor the overt act having as yet occurred.
The idea gains strength, however, that the
question will be duly brought before con-
grcss, and as certainly decided in favor of
Russia In the meantime Prussia, Turkey,
and England are busy with warliko prepare
ons to meet unfavorable emcrgencies.-Bal-
