rrsox OUR owS CORRESPONDENT

GREENvnLE. 8. g., July %.
Last night Rev. DR.. Reynolds, of Columbia,
delivered an historical address, to very large
audience. He traced the early history Of
Blptists 10 South Carolina, and gave an inter-
estins account of the trials and experiences OF
the great pioneers Of this denomination. Ac-
cording to his statements Rev. VIM. Screven
was the first Baptist minister who located in
South Carolina. This was about the year 1873.
Georg stown was the scene Of his first ,abors,
but IN few years he removed to Charleston
and founded the First Baptist Church of that
city, about the year 1888. Dr.. Reynolds paid a
beautiful ard deserving tribute to Rev. DR..
Richard Furman, whose memory is still 30
much cherished not only in your city, but
throughout the entire State. The address OF
DR., Reynolds was we'll received, ,,aod displayed
that elegant diction and classic finish for which
the learned divine is 80 well-known.
To-day the delegation 10 the convention was
considerably increased By fresh arrivals, and
il ia now estimated that the convention is
larger than any held since the war.
Resolutions were adopted recommending to
the COfQll SQppOlt VI tuC odpt'o'o VI phS Sl@pSb
the "Working Christian" o religious paper,
which ls now published in Charleston. Several
prominent members Of the convention deliver
ed ad iresses in support Of this enterprise.

addressed the convention in behalfof the Sun
day-school Board Of the Southern Baptist Con-
yention, and secured contributions to aid in
establishing Sunday. schools in the South aud
West. and in circulating religious literature.
The time OF holding the annual conventions
was changed, by resolution to-day, fr om July

llaus. OF Coiletou; Rev. ]. F. Morrall, OF New

WINCHESTER RIFLE Law.
Attempts Of the Ring to Excite the
Negroes.
From the Laurensyiue Herald.]

On Saturday last, at an early hour, our vii
lage began to be throDged with negroes from
all parts of the county. 1t had been industri-
ousy circulated that scott would be q speaker.
About 10 o'clock the drums beat through the
streets, and procession was formed, com-
posed Of about five hundred able-bodied field
hands, while probably an equal number OF
and boys, filled the sidewalks. A half dozen
grand marshals, mounted on the horses of the
State constabulary, Joseph Crews and Nathan
iel Freeman, gallopped to and fro the streets
of the little village.
At the head OF the procession, composed
probably Of about five hundred men, marched
company Of about sixty negroes in full uni
chester or Springfield rifle aw with fixed bay
onets, cartridge boxes, and all the accoutre-
ments of war. The remainder of the negroes
were armed with every pattern Of frearm
known to modern warfare-shot guns single
and double; pistols In belts, old squirrel rifles,
bludgeons, sticks, stones, &C., and every fash
ion Of sabre and sword since Nimrod. They
paraded every nook and corner of the town Tor
several hours, the bayonets Of the escort com
pany bristling terror to the half dozen white
men occupying the fronts Of their business
houses.
About IL n, they moved to a deep rayine
near the town, and listened to harangues from
the miserable scalawags, Y. ]. P. owens, JOS
Crews, one Fifer, from Newberry, and two or
three negroes.
Owens and Crews made incendiary speeches,
and talked Of nothing but the arms In the
hands Of the negroes, the ballot box and the
cartridge box going hand in hand, &c. Fifer,
who came, we believe, from Newberry, spoke
in the same warlike tone, only his strain was
dOubly bloodthirsty.
In contrast with these speakers, the negro
orators made no alluslon to arms and blood.
Owens and Crews never move with the ne
groes in procession through the streets, but
sneak of when they have delivered their in
cendiary hacangues. Delegates were appoint
ed to the Republican Convention. The sense
of the Scott militia was taken, and 1t appeared
that Scott and Ransier are the favorites tor
Governor and Lieutenant-G Governor.
The negroes are evidently vain OF their uni
forms and their bayonets, but peaceably In
cllned, while Owens, Crews and Scott,
Through his agents, the constabulary,) are
determined to have them used on the white

GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
YIRGE1A, July %.
Last night the first fancy dress and masque-
rade ball of the season was given, and
though not quite so decided success as the
first fancy ball of last year, 1t was very beau
tilul and enjoyable affair.
At nine o'clock the ball room vas thrown
open. Soon the crowd began to gather. At
ten o'clock the room was full, and presented a
scene of rich andsplcturesque beauty. 1t was
so gay, so brilliant, so sparkling. All was joy,
brightness and happiness.
How can we select from this brilliant throng
and particularize We must and here goes.
Miss Beck, of Kentucky, as Queen Elizabeth,
was as stately but more beautiful than her
naughty prototype. The lovely Miss Taylor, of
Georgetown. D. c., by her grace, beauty an d
lovellness. represented in all perfection lad y
of the Court of Queen Marie Antoinette; her
dress was q brocaded silk Of ashes of rose-co!-
or, with court train, flowing sleeves, the whole
beautifully embroidered IN wood leaves in tn e
rich glow of autumn; her wit fascinated the
wise, while her dancing delighted the young.
Mrs. ]. B Tlnsley, OF Virginia, as the ETening
Star, was sweet and charming. Miss Merri-
field, OF Baltimore. Us Night, attracted much
attention by her dark, rich costume.
Interspersed in the gay throny were the
usual number OF gypsies, knights, Spanish la-
dies, cavaliers, newsboys, negroes, sailors,
clowns, hunters, flower girls, court ladies', In
dians, Sc.
Mr.. James P. Cowardin, OF the Richmond
(Va) Dispatch. afforded much amusement by
his personation Of Sambo, with the plantation
jig, and Shoe Fly in the best style OF the min
streh.
About one hundred and fifty masks were on
the floor, and five hundred others in evening
dress. Every one was delighted, and the
whole thing was brilliant commencement OF
the gay season'at White Sulphur.

LOOK TO YOUR BEHRING'S.
TO TIE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.


It is striking and significant fact that the
Charleston Radical sheet-Scotts own special
crean. that is the head and front Of the Radi-
cal party of the State-now quotes, weekly, in
aid and comfort (approvingly) from the edito-
rial columns of the Sumter News.
The list of papers opposed to Reform, which
were published In the Sumter News, with It's
own name in o fancy square, under the style of
"The Grecian Phalanx,n has dwindled down
to one little hebdomadal, the Sumter News
And as Its self-assumed title Of ''The Grecan
Phalanx" is evidently a misnomer, it is recon-
mended to adopt the much more appropriate
and equally classical name of "The Trojan
Horse"
Let 1t be borne in mind, at the same time,
that the emily newspapers in the State opposed
to the Union Reform party are the Sumter
News and the Radical Scott organ, (said to be
published In Charleston.)
During the few years since 1t was first pub
llshed, has it not changed front repeatedly
without changing its publishers Did It not
at one time lose nearly all Its subscribers on
account of its Radical leanings? And what
was the hitch which broke of the trade when
it was about to become Radical out-and-out?
Did not Democratic editor dissolve his con-
necton with the Sumter News because Its pro-
prietors objected to the Democratic cast Of his
editorials?
Is it not substantial supporter Of Scott and
Noses, while boasting that it is the only DEM
ocratlc (?) paper in the State, its columns
being filed with abuse of Carpenter and
Butler and the Reform party? Why don't it
advocate Scott openly, and fall into line with
those who pronounce it their "best ally?"
Its circulation may be small, but its offence
is a grave one, when, under the name of De-
mocracy, 1t substantially aids those who are
crushing the State, and who are seeking to
fasten upon US for two years more Set of
rulers who are a stencil in the nostrils of de-
cency everywhere. The people begin to see
this, and they haze too much at stake to look
on with indifference. CRAYoN.

When such man as WhlLtemore is not only
reelected to the place In Congress which ne dls-

Hrominent figure in State Convention OF his

class of politicians and debased condition OF

Carolina. No fair-minded, Intelligent Ameri-
can, whatever his party leanlngs may be, can
