GKEESvnLE, January l3.
The election for sheriff, in the place of the
late A. B. Vickers, passed off very quietly. and
Captain ]. L. Southern received almost all the
votes. At first there were three candidates
William T. Shumate, j. L. Southern and Mr..
Robertson. Shumate was strong and well
qualified man. Captain J. L. Southern was the
regular nominee-as good Democrat as Shl-
mate, but more conserFative-and Robertson
was a Radical, but Independent, as the Re
publicans nominated no one. The county is
strongly Democratic. OF thirty-three hundred
votes at least eight hundred Democratic me)o-
rlty. 1t was yet judged best not to divide Lne
Democratic vote, and Shumate withdrew. The
result was Southern got five times as many
votes as all the Others together. Captain
Southern was brave and popular officer IN
the Confederate army.
The business of this place is rapidly
increasing, especially the cotton trade. Five
hundred bales have been sold In this place this
season, where not one was before the war.
There were no cotton buyers before the
war. They make money plenty and mer-
chants are doing well.
The great trouble is the Greenville and Co
lumbia Railroad 1t fails to carry of the
freight, and when 1t does it is so long before ii
reaches its destination as to seriously iniure
this place. We hear they have just procured
three new engines and propose to lay new
iron. 1t has been worse managed by this new
company, which promised so much, than even
before. Our people are very much dissatisfied
with the high State tax, and think seven and

WASHINGTON, January IA.
The session OF Congress thus far, divested Of
the acrimonious debates on that well-worn San
Domingo subject, have been productive OF but
little to render news from Washington OF eX-
ceedlng great interest. There was squirt on
the general amnesty topic early In December,
but it was slde-show altogether, and, as the
result proved, introduced with no intention OF
completing aught beyond Radical party capital,
which, it may be added in parenthesis, was
decided failure.
The main features of prominent Interest at
the present time, around which cling so much
hope and no little nisgivings In the Radical
party as represented by innumerable rings,
delegations and associations here, are the tre-
mendous efforts which are being made to bring
about harmony and Cancellation in their ranks.
The leaders admit that something must be
done, and that in very short order; but what to
do, or how to act, is the intricate puzzle that
defes solution The President Is interviewed
every day by politicians having this pur-
pose in view. He receives all sorts Of
Radical "leaders" from the high mag
mates of the Senate to the scurvlest
carpet-bagger working for the "party" in the
rice swamps and cotton fields. To each and
every one OF these he listens grimly and ex-
presses his ''entire appreciation fthe measures
submitted" without once giving a grain Of
comfort or word of consolation as to the poll
tlcal prospects of the future, because he knows
as well as his interviewers the Drift of the ma
tlonal tide, and that all the offices In his gift,
anu all the soldiers on the muster roll Of the
war department, cannot avail to turn the tor
rent of conservative successes which is
pouring in from all parts OF the land.
There are two elements Of radcalism in
Congress, or perhaps more properly, in the
House OF Representatives. One, as was indl-
Gated last winter, exhibits tinge Of conser-
vatism that is daily growing in strength. The
other, of which the flttest representatives are
Butler, oil Massachusetts, and Senator Morton,
'cracks the whip" in unyielding advocacy of
more reconstruction. 1t is not surprising that
this should he so; for reconstruction has been
and still is-embracing prescription as it
does-the entire stock in trade OF this pro-
gressive Radical party, formerly under the
leadership Of Thad. Stevens, but now in charge
o. Butler. These people are insisting upon re-
constructing every State In the South
wherein the parhsans of their ideas
have been oyerthrown. The same stories
of wrong and outrage, the same dismal tales
of Ku-Kuxism and insult to Republican voters
that characterized the earlier debates on re-

HOW TO CURE DRUNK ENNESS.

1t is generally understood that young per-
sons, when first employed as pastry cooks, are
permitted to surftit themselves to their hearts
contents on pies and sweetmeats; the result
being that In very short time they become
perfectly callous to the charms Of the counter.
We learn from q valuable little book, recently
published in London, called 1.-The Home
Nurse" that in the Austrian army method
on a similar principle Is adopted as remedy
for drunkenness; and medical reports state
that out OF l39 cases, l25 cures Of confirmed
drunkartls have been effected. The planis as
follows:
The soldier taken IN state OF int0Xication,
or purposely inebliated, is confined to his
room, where his diet is carefully and amply
suppled 10 him, according to his cSoice. For
drink, he is allowed brandy and water, in the
proportion of one-thrd brandy to two-thirds
water All his food is prepared In week
solution OF brandy and water. Coffee, with
small quantity of brandy, is also allowed him.
At first, the treatment throws the patient into
constant stale of intoXication. and he sleeps
much. At the end of three or four days he
takes dislike to his food and drink, and asks
for change, which request, were II acceded
TO, would entirely prevent the completion of
the cure. On the contrary, 1t must now be
persevered in, until The patient can no longer
swallow food or drink, and even the smell re-
volts and pauseates the stomach. when the
cure may be considered as effected. The
shortest lime for the continuance OF the treat
ment is seven days; the longest, nine. In
order 10 prevent the congestion which might
ensue the patient must now be given gentle
emptics-that Is, one grain OF emetic in a bot
tie of water; wineglasslui to be taken every
quarter Of an hour in the morning fasting.
This is follow, d by forty-grans Of maSnesia,
daily, given in broth or Cruel. placing the
patient at first on low, light diet, and then
gradually increasing 10 his original rations. II
during the first part OF the treatment, splitting
of blood or convulsi6ns should result. it must
not be persevered in; therefore, this mode ol
remedy cannot, on any pretence whatever, De
adopted but By medical man. In Russia,
drunkenness Is also treated as disease, and
certain strong aromatic preparations are USED
as curative means. AS temporary remedy,
to restore the unfortunate victim TO a state ol
sobriety, give him from ten 10 twelve drops oil
spirits of ammonia in q wineglass OF water.
This will be sufficient In common case; but II
the person is positively drunk, it may be
necessary TO give the dose second time, IN
which case IL will generally act as an emetic
ian advantage,) when short sleep will ensue,
| and the patient will wake restored. None but
medical man may venture to apply the
ammonia to the nostrils, as not only Injurious,
! but fatal effects might ensue.

The plan attributed 10 General Trochu,
whether successful or otherwise. may be taken
as evidence OF his strategicai ability. It Is sup
posed that he Intends to convert Mont Valerien
into q vast citadel, to which he may repair
with the bulk of his effective forces whenever
tho eXtremites to which Paris is being rapid.
ty reduced may render his position within the
walls untenable. Contrary to the opinion OIL
sanguine patriots ignorant of military matters,
Genearl Trochu has always doubted that Paris
could break through the lines oi the investing
army by her own unaided eliort, anu wnen ne
seemed to yield TO the impatience OF the garrl-
son and threw open the gates for a sally, 1t
was always because he expected the immedi,,
ate advance Of some one of the provincial
armies. But il Paris has no longer chance
Of fighting single-handed, and ii relief from
the departments Is too remote and un-
certain, General Trochu probably reasoned
of things might involve the eventual necessity
of captulation, which, notwithstanding his
truly noble and gallant behavior throughout the
siege, could not fail to raise against him all the
obloqay which was lavished upon the unsuc'
cessful commanders OF StrasbOurg and Metz. so
far as we can understand his scheme, he would
abandon Paris to her iale, but he would with
trenched camp, safe against an assault and
rrovisioned against blockade. 1t would be
idle to speculate upon the result OF this new
combination of circumstances; for 1t seems
natural to foresee that the concentration of all
the effective forces at Mont Valerien would de-
termine the surrender not only OF tile city. out
also of the forts and defensive works around
1t. Masters oil the whole inner and outer lines
of the city, the Germans would then engage
in conflict with Trochu's camp, which, what
ever advantage it might confer upon either OF
the combatants, would infict dreadful suffer-
ings on the delenceless population; or, even If
the Germans, more considerate than the natu-
raj defenders of the city, were to limit their
operations to mere blockade of Mont Vale

long line with which they are now encompass
Ing the whole banlleue, and might thus be able
to spare at least halt their forces for other
