UNwoNTED MORTALITY IN OUR Con-
MUNTY.-During the past week, deaths
in our community have been frequent
and startling. A new disease-new to
us, at least-called Meningitis, I've spell
it as it sounds is prevailing extensively,
and proving very fatal. Among those
who have died, is Mrs General Duno-
want, only daughter of the late Colonel
Whitfield Brooks. This much-esteemed
lady, however. died, not of Meningitis,
but after lingering illness. Of this
new disease, hns died Young Robert
Boulware, ono of the most promising
and beloved youths of this town; and
young Irwin f. Bolton, another estima-
BILE youth, just entering life. Of negroes,
the number is shockingly large. In and
around the town, some six or eight have
died within the past week or ten days, of
Meringetis In truth, we have scarcely
ever known 80 much sickness in Edge
field. The weather has been, aud CON
tlnues, cold, wet and changeable. It
behooves all to be extremely careful.
Mrs. Mary Styron, very old and esti-
mable lady, ninety years of age, died at
her residence, few miles below the vii
lnge, during the past week.

THE WRECKS IN CHARLESTON HAnloR
A correspondent of the New York III.
Dune says the contract for raising t.,e
wrecks sunk in Charleston harbor hu,
been awarded to tho Monitor Wreckinp
Company by the Treasury Department.
Among them are tho Keokuk, Wee
hawken and Patapsco, iron -clads, and
the Housatonic, store-ship, besides a
large number OF others of less impor-
tance. Store ships, blockade runners,
torpedo-b boats, vessels of every known
variety, fitted for war or peace, are found
by the divers strewn over the bottom of
the harbor. Probably there is not at
present another place IN the world where
so many submerged wrecks are collected
within so small space.

1t is not uncommon to find people of in
telligence consulting "fortune-tellers"
about their future happiness, and being
superstitious about presentim and
doing certain things. The mysterious

superstitious, that it arouses all of the
dormant notions of men, when there is
any trace of it in everyday life.

AUTOMATIC TRLEGRAPHY.-A telegraph
line between New York and Washington,
to be operated on Little's automatic sys-
tenn OF telegraphy, is now in process of
construction, and is at this season OF the
strike among telegraph operators, mat
ter of general interest. The line is
styled the National Telegraph" and is
expected to be in operation by the first
OF March; the poles have all been placed
at proper intervals, and are being rapidly
putup. By Mr.. Little's system of tele-
graphy, it is expected to enable the trans
mission of 200 words per minute, in
stead of twenty words, which is now
stated as the capacity of very expert
operator under the Morse system.
Mr.. d. H. Craig, formerly superin-
tendent of the New York Associated
Press, Is prominently connected with the
National Telegraphio Company, and it is
stated that Mr.. George r. Hicks. the
agent of the Associated Press at Chica-
go, has tested the automatic system and
reports that 200 words per minute can
be transmitted on wire over a circuit of
1000 miles. and that boys and girls can
prepare the dispatches at the rate of 800
words each per hour, as many being en-
pioyed as are necessary. The method of

SENsATIoNAL.-The report of the en-
listing of men in New York to serve the
Khedive of Egypt, sounds very much
like one OF those periodical sensations
which are gotten up in the Sun office
with 80 much ingenuity and cleverness
that they are plausible and credible.
Among the officers mentioned as having
sailed is General Loring, formerly Colo
mel of the Mounted Rifles. u. s. A.
General Loring has been, and is very
probably now. engaged in banking in
New York, and unless he has lost in some
of the crashes, would hardly risk his
reputation and fortune in such mon.
grel service as that of the Khedive of
Egypt. He is by no means soldisr of
fortune, who is ready to serve any King
or Kaiser who may make an offer for his
sword.

Friday Morning. january IA. 1870.

The Indiana Democracy have taken
the field. Under the lead of tho able
Hendricks. we hope they will make q
successful fight. The Democratic orga
nization is the only practical opposition
to radicalism. A heavy responsibility
rests upon it. North, South, East and
West, iet the OPPOSITION to the radical
party rally-let concert of action be the
word. Let organized and sensible effort
be the order of the day. Let the oppo-
sition como out boldly. fairly and square
ly. Let us have national party, OPP
posed to the radical party, and resoiuts
to fight it at every point. Journals
which, like the Winnsboro Nsws, favor
the policy of meeting radicalism by half
way accepting it, make, in our judgment,
serious mistake. This would demo-
ralize your forces even before they were
brought into the field. II political apathy
now exists in the ranks Of the opEo-
sition, this policy, which We. condemn
and repudiate, would increase It. Not in
this way can the country be rescued and
the State recovered. Onr policy shonld
be the policy of men-resolnte, practical
and energetic, decided. We hold that
the radical party is inimical to the inter
ests of the country, and seeks TO subvert
the character OF the Government, and
thus to wreck the free institutions of the
country. We hold, further, that it is
corrupt and subversive Of the material
interests of the country. If 80, then
oppose it-organize against it-make
your position tenable and reasonable,
and vote it down. If you can this time,
alrs we'll. If not. then try again. Some
will say that this method is too slow.
We answer that it is quicker than any
other method. There is no ground for
compromise here. Radicalism is op-
posed to our interests here, and in the
land at large. The country will see il
ere long, if it does not see it now. Then,
let the column remain united and firm,
and when the time shall come, then
move again and again upon the eneniy's
lines. s.1i,
SO far as the Indiana Democracy are
concerned, they announce correct prin-
ciples. They declare against violation
of the rights and dignity ef the States.
and of the Constitution of the country.
In this they are right. They pronounce
the reconstruction Acts Of Congress in
famous and revolutionary. and aubver-
sive OF the rights of the people and OF
all the States. In this they tell the truth.
They pronounce against the attacks of
Congress upon CO. coordinate and co -equal
branch Of the Government. In this
they are right. They declare for o re-
vision of the system of taxation. They
declare for the interests of tho people in
opposition to the interests of the bond
holders. They stand up in general
against all the outrages of the radical
olicy. In this they are right We send
our greetings to our Indiana friends, and
we bid them God-speed. When the
general fight comes on against radicalism,
South Carolina will send good and true
men into the field.
