Little birds will sing:
"Greeley, Greeley, wants to be,
But never will be king !"

Full of high ambition
Over a glass of whisky;

Showing off his clothes,
Long comes Ulysses Grant
And nips of his nose.

TO THE UNION SOLDIERS, IN
SUITED BY 81. GREELEY,

Sept. 10, 1872, at Pittsburg, Pa.
Soldiers ! Listen to the leader
or the rebel cause to-day.
Listen to his words insulting,
Secret purpose they betray.
He has dared your aims to censure,
He dishonors soldiers true,
He would basely yield to traitors,
He would wake the strife anew,
Has his spite against the soldiers
Made him desperate in the 6ghtl
Does New England's triumph vex him,
Did tcauss his Western flight?
Soldiers, swear that no traducer
OF the soldiers gallant band
Can be worthy of your suffrage,
Nor the ruler of the land.
Rally, then, around the hero,
Who has ever faced the foe.
He will lead US on to victory,
For his loyalty we know.
Grant is worthy of the honor,
Grant our President shall be.
Soldiers, Rally! Right shall triumph
God will Grant US victory.

R@ing the Very Lunatics!

People have not heard much of the ia
nous Joe Crews, of Laurens, lately, but
still Joseph is not forgotten. AnGnow
he comes forward and plays another of
his characteristic tricks. That is, he COM
mits huge and vile theft. Joe, we be-
lieve, does not live in Laurens now. He
lives-well, we don'tknow exactly where
ne lives. But it is in Columbia princi-
pally that he steals. He is member Of
the Legislature, director of the Green
Vile & Columbia Railroad, regent Of
the State Lunatic Asylum, and much
admj;et. Radical leader. In his capacity
of regent of the Asylum he has stolen
lately from the said institution Is tons of
coal. Think of it, Stealing rs tons OF
coal from the wretched lunatics ! Every
other man connected with the institution
has promptly and satisfactorily cleansed
his skirts, leaving Mr.. Crews standing
alone in the mud. Nor does this miser-
able fellow even deny the deed. AS on
former occasion, hesays nothing. What
upon earth is to be 'done with Joe? Oh,
Joe, Joe, take care, lest you come to the
pass of Z" stealing sick nigger's SOUP"

THE ADVERTISER.
EdgefeId, S. c., San. rs, 1872.
Hon. Geo. ID. TilIman on the ssPos-
sum Policy"

The political views of our honored fell
low citizen, the Hon. Geo. D. Tillman,
always command attention and respect
in Edgefeld District. This week he
sends us from his home, on the Savan-
nah, long and able article concerning
the best tactics for the Democratic party
in the coming campaign. This "passive"
or "possumn policy is nothing very new
as applied to National politics, but as ap-
Piled to our own home affairs it is, aud
certainly commands our consideration.
And, in fact, as applied to National poll
tics, passivism seems to be at present
triumphant; that is, judging from the
flatness which characterizes the great
Democratic papers of the North Thus
far, however, the party leaders may only
be "playing possum." But Mr.. Tillman
deals with matters which Immediately
concern our own oppressed State and
people. We are much inclined to agree
with him. AS he says, eve must sacri-
flee not our principles but our feelings
to succeed in the next election" We
commend his communication to the Pc
rusal of the public everywhere.

Railroad Charters.

Petitions have been presented in the
Legislature for charters for Railroad
from Spartanburg, via Laurens, Ninety
Six and Edgefeld o. H., to Aiken, S. c.,
or Augusta, Ga, and for Railroad from
Greenwood, via Dorn's Mines, to Au-
gusta, Ga And surely the Legislature
will not fail to grant a charter to each
road-for the building of these Roads is
of the greatest importance to the sections
through which they will run, and that
their construction will tend greatly to-
wards building up the country none will
deny.
We understand certain faction in the
Legislature objects to chartering a road
from Spartanburg to Augusta, but are
willing to grant charter for the erection
of a road from Spartanburg to Aiken. We
regret this objection, and fear that making
Aiken the terminus will serve to dampen
the ardor of our up-country friends wtn.o
are very anxious to run direct to Angus
Ia. But if certain of our law makers are
so very jealous of the interest of Charles
ton and the South Carolina Railroad, and
guarding that interest, refuse to give us
the charter to Augusta, why then let US
have the charter to Aiken, with the
privilege of a branch road (from the vi
cinity of Pine House Depot,) TO Augusta.
This would be fair, and we doubt not
would give satisfaction to all concerned.
A road from Spartanburg via Edgefield
c. H. to Aiken would be quite accepta-
BILE to our people, as it would afford us
railroad facilities for direct travel or
transportation to Charleston, Columbia
or Augusta-because our road would in
tersect the Columbia d Augusta Road at
or near Pine House Depot, and would
doubtless make connection with the
trains on that line. And our road having.
the heprivilege of buildinGa branch road to
Augusta, would restrain the c. c. & A.
Road (even were they disposed) from
exacting high tariff from US.
We therefore trust our Legislators will
speedily charter the Roads as originally
proposed, or as above indicated,-and il
so, the incorporators will take prompt
measures towards effecting an organiza-
ton, and setting the ball in motion, with
a we'll founded hope Of an early compile
ton of both the Spartanburg & Aiken,
and Greenwood & Augusta Roads.
We also see that application has been
made in the Legislature for charter for
a road from Raleigh, n. c., to Augusta,
Ga. This is an enterprise that should
receive a favorable consideration from
the people of our State. If the charter
is given as petitioned for, We ',e assured
that the Road will be built, and if built
will traverse from one side of our Coun-
ty, to the other, as well as through York.
Chester and Newberry Counties. Con-
sequently the respective members to the
Legislature from these Counties should
give this project their earnest attention
and warmest encouragement. This is
an age of Railroads, and if We expect to
\ oep up with the age, ace must build Rail
,.onIe

The First Parry in the Field.


The first party in the field with its
Presidential ticket officially will be the
national Prohibition or Temperance par
tv. for their national nominating conven-
ton meets at Columbus, Ohio, on the
22nd of February. And about the same
time too the national Labor Reformers
meet in the same place, and they may
also put up Presidential ticket. The
woman's rights women will. wait to see
what course the anti-Grant Republican
party takes before they move on the sub
iect. Consequently, by August next, we
shall probably have four or five Presi-
dental tickets and parties before the
people. A Temperance candidate, and a
Labor Reform candidate, and a Woman's-
Rights candidate, and Possum Policy
candidate, and an old line, true-blue
Democratic candidate, and Moderate
Republican candidate, and an Extreme
Radical or Robbery, Plunder and Tyran-
nv candidate. And the man of the last
named party will be Grant; and we have
a deadly fear that he will be the winner
and that we will all continue to go to
the ID. But dunn spiro spero!
