Robert E, Les,

Yesterday it was reported By tele-
graph that General Lee would pass
down tho Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta railroad, on his way to
Florida. Soon the report spread from
mouth to mouth, and by the time the
train was due, S O'clock p. H., Col
umbia was alive with tho joyful
tidings. One and all were eager to
look again upon the noble features,
the commanding mien, of the mighty
champion of tho South--the greatest
man Of the age. Though torrents of
rain had been falling all day, and con-
tinued to fall-and though scarce
fourth of the crowd were enabled to
secure conveyances--ye when the
train arrived, tho platform and
grounds adjoining the depot were
thrcnged with q mass Of eager and
expectant faces.
Col. A. 9. Haskell waited upon the
General, in behalf of the citizens,
and requested his appearance upon
the platform-the crowd being ar
ranged in semi-circle around the
hindmost platform of the passenger
coach, 80 that all might see. The
noble hero stepped forth, and was
greeted with such a shout of joyous
recognition as no other living man of
the age could elicit. Shout after shout
arose, so that the introductory re-:
marks by Col. Haskell, appropriate
to the occasion, were almost drowned. :.
"Our first in war and in peace he
was styled, and upon this the excited
throng burst forth again into prolong-
ed hurrahs. The great man modestly
raised his hat and bowed, and re-
mained for o minute or two with his
venerable head Uncovered, then
quietly withdrew inside the ooaoh.
He was, evidently, deeply touched
by the manifestations Of love and
esteem with which be wan greeted.
The trembling lip and moistened eye
spoke the emotions that 'swelled that
breast--so dauntless in war-so re.
sponsive to expressions Of love.
The General is on his way, to
Florida to recuperate, his health,
which is very feeble. thosgh, in ap.

old ~ ss.gF.


The fairfield Herald of the l6sh
inst, in short paragraph under the
above heading, de6,es tho status of
the Laurensyllle Herald, and summa-
rily disposes Of its philosophy.
Our cotewporory writes we'll and
elaborately in advocacy Of a coasrrua
tue Republican party. We think his
logic the very reverse Of "hard horse
sense" There is DO such party
there can be non. American Repub-
licanisn is Radicalism, and it is
contradiction of terms to say conser-
pattue Radicalism. The ono is the
aatipodes Of the other. Radicalism,
or Republioanism, has its degrees Of
intensity--just US you have Thad
Stevens and Ben Butler, who are
dyed more deeply, more thoroughly
immersed thansstbeir fellows. Thus
we hive the positive, comparative and
superletiye degrees in politics as in
the forms of speech. This Third Par-
ty, or Conservative Republication, is
simply Radicalism in the second or
comparative degree. The imp's paw
peeps through, however. The voters
who elected Grant are Republicans,
who say they want sspeace," but Sum
ner wants con6scation, aud clear
wipe ont of the Southern white race;
and yet, nevertheless, is a Republican
in the ssmo ship with tho former, and
commanding the Grew. Ben Butler is
Republican, and spoons q favorite
article ofhis in the Chicago Platform.
Now, our Fairfield contemporary pro-
poses simply to strike out spoons, and
Insert accept the situation, aud step
upon the board with Benjamin.
The Laurensvillc Herald finds the
negro manipulated by the carpet-bag-
ger, unpriuoipled natives, and North.
ern politicians in solid antagonism to
the Southern white man. The posi-
tion of the white man is forced upon
him. Hc is driven --he has no elee-
tion. Now, if there are elements
that elect to come TO the white man
and vote with him, they will be hear
lily embraced. The white man must
not 40 over to the robber-baud. " |
We are deadly hostiletoany course
by which tho solid phalanx of good
enGstrao men att the South, and in
our qwa State, may be broken and
endangered. The Sousnern whito
man is political organization by
blood, instlnct-a common history
and common ruin. We feel ind
believe with the Mobile Iri5une--let
us wait the cffeot Of time and the
s'forces of nature" Better wait un.
der desperate circumstances and mis-
fortunes, than by sacrifice of princi-
pie achieve triumph that must bring
along with it certain political demor-
alization, and loss of self-respcot.-

The plea of Mr.. Whittemorc, ar
gued 80 disastrously to his client by
General Butler, that the cadet money

old story Of the miller who sometimes
had crazy fits in which he always
imagined himself to be the Lord

A SHIFTING POPULATION. - The
number of oolored emigrants reported
to have passed through the town of
Chattanooga 900 in the past year
is said to be the official report--going
westward indicates movement that
will bring important results to both
the Southwest and Southeast. The
States from which these freedmen are
migrating are Virginia, the Carolinas
and Gcorgia-mainly the Carolinas,
for Virginia travel goes mostly north
Of that point and Georgia south of it..
Of these $1,000, probably 5000 GO
from Virginia, 5000 from Georgia
and about 10000 from each of the
Carolinas.
This drain upon the supply Of Ia
Dor repeated every year will soon tell
heavily upon the industrial interests
Of these Atlantic States, and, as a
large proportion of these are mon, not

of encouraging immigration; and, as
