THE CANDIDATES COLUMN.
THE STATE SENATORSHIP.
To the Republican Voters of Charleston
County.

William q. Mishaw, nominee on the regular
Republican ticket, died last evening, ut his resi-
dence in Anson street. This leaves our ticket
without candidate for State Senator. Two other
tickets are in the field: One, the Reform ticket,
on which the name Of Edwin Bates, and the
other known as the Cain ticket, which has the
name Of R. q. Cain as candidate for the State
Senate.
Knowing Mr.. Cain as we'll as do, cannot con.
scientiously vote for him, and believing Mr.. Ed
win Bates though Reformer, to be an honest
man, and fully competent for the office, shall
cast my vote for him, and recommend all my
friends to do likewise. Respectfully,
TIMOTHY HuRLEY.

LONDON, october l3
The correspondent of the Tribune at NAL
zferes, near Metz sends description ofthe battle
Of the eth instant, as follows:
The engagement Of to day Is the most impor-
tant EFFORT Bazaine has made since the Prusslans
threw their belt OF men, guns and earthworks
around the fortresses OF Metz He had at least 1lty
thousand men engaged In to-day's ettempt; the
Prussians had considerably larger number. The
morning was dull and misty.
In the bombardment Of the two previous days.
the position occupied by the batteries Of German
heavy guns was at FrenE court, near the starting
point OF the rise OF hills some distance to the
southwest Of Maizieres. To speak more precise.
ly they were stationed on the low hills OF Nero
mont, beyond which stands an observatory which
commands the whole plain. The Prussians
pushed their batteries considerably beyond Fren-
ecourt; they had six field batteries midway be-.
tween it and Semecourt. and on the 9Th they had
passed forward a seventh battery az far as seme.

WHERE DELARGE sTANDS.
TO the Voters OF Charleston County.

Mr.. DeLarge, in his letter published in The
NEWS and Courier OF the 18th inst, denies ever
having made the assertion that he wanted the
white race to understand that he would 60 en-
tlrely for his race. We present to the people the
following extract from speech made BY De.
Large, when accepting the nomination of the
bogus convention In Columbia, on the 2sth Of
July:
sIr am elected will not compromise with
SAWYER or anybody else. I shall swap no post.
ofnces for the customhouse. shall demand for
INV race an equal share everywhere, and II ca n.
not get that will take nothing. want the 9th er
race to know that l shall 60 for my own ra ce
first, and them afterwards. l want every m an
who votes for nae to understand this; and ant
no man to vote for me who does not approve
thls.n
As Mr.. Tharin ha, annihllated one candidate,
this fact should be made public to annlhilate the
other.
With these facts before US, how can Mr.. De-
Large call that card Of his denial? ]. N.

RansIer's First Appearance as an irish

A remarkable article appeared In last even.

UNION REFORM PARTY,
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ROOMS,
1OFl


The Executive Committee begs to urge upon
every member the necessity Of voting the entire
ticket nominated by the recent CONVENTION. Not
only good faith to the candidates who have ac-
cepted the nominations require 1t, but as matter
Of expediency it is necessary. Every name struck
from our ticket is vote cast for some member OF
the opposite party. In this contest, as In all
others, union is strength; and we cannot afford
to lnjure our excellent prospects Of success by
division among ourselves. We are seeking to
break down aparty, backed by all the power Of
the State Government, welded by unscrupulous
men, and must present at every point'an unbro-
ken front. Even the most Indifferent of our can.
didates is superior to the best Of those Of our an
tagonists, and we must not aid them.

The Shasta Courier Of July 23d, says -
Among the rocks on a spur of the mountain
which rises abruptly from the banks of the
North Fork of Cottonwood, at point about
six miles above Post & Chapman's ranch, is
den of rattlesnakes. There big and little,
old and young rattlesnakes may be seen BY
the hundred, and their continued rattling Gre
a,es confused "buzz" in the air. which
sounds something like the rumble of a hotel
gong after receiving a whack with stuffed
club. Old hunters and fishermen on that
stream gives the snake den locality wide
berth, but venturesome greenhorns sometimes
get almost among the serpents before discov-
ering their presence. It's pretty rough
country to foot-race in, but a badly scared
man can make as good time getting away froni
this snake den as could be made on the level
road between here and Middletown when
merely running for exercise.

The SECRET OF SuccEss.-A good story is
told of the venerable DR.. Slop, of Mad Rabbit,
who was Doctor of the Experimental and
Eclectic School of Medicine, years ago. It
was rule of the Doctors never to have any
thing wasted, and therefore when any pre-
scription remained untaken, after the patient
had died or recovered, he would empty it in
q bottle kept for the purpose, that became the
receptacle of q heterogeneous compound
that science could not analyze. A younger
member Of the faculty noted this as very sin
gular fact, and asked of him the reason for it.
The Doctor hesitated a little, and then re-
piled that, though in ordinary cases he knew
well what to do, there were instances when
all his medical skill failed, and be was floor
ed with doubt. At such times it was his
custom to resort to the big bottle, and leave
nature and accident to accomplish the cure;
''and will you believe it," said he, ''some of
my most brilliant successes have resulted
from it?n

do the subject justice, and, sick and disgust
ed, he left the deck. When the wooding was
completed he was found dead in his berth.
A rude cefin was made, and at the next wood
ing he was buried with as little ceremony as
possible. This was not. however, on account
of his lack of popularity. On the contrary.
he stood well with steamboatmen generally,
and was not without many good qualities.
His highest aspiration was TO command O
steamboat, but he never lived to have il graf
flied. On the return trip of the Huntsville
his brother officers looked to see his grave,
but the bank had caved in and taken the boz
dy of the dead mate with it. Poor Jim Peck
was finally overheard forever!
