SALUBmrY, s. c., Oct. S, 1875.
Mr.. Editor: After returning my
sincere thanks to you for kindness in
the past, in laying before your many
readers, tho very happy results of
some of the protractod meetings in
which wo have been recently engaged
in this County, since reporting them
to you, We have hold several days
protracted meetings with tho Mt.
Pisgah Church, Anderson county.
Aftor the first five days, tho meeting
was one of the greatest interest-a
large attendance, good ordcr and doep
solicitudo manifested generally, for
tho prosperity of Zion, tho salvation
of sinners and the glory of God. l
closed this meeting on tho I'd of Sop
tomber, administering tho Ordinance
of Baptism to twenty. lone candidates,
before largo audience, ranging from
IA to 65 years of age. The church
at this point abundantly revived, and
many humble pcnitonts left, earnestly
IIinquiring: "what shall 1 do to bo
saved" May tho Lord lead them by
His unoring spirit and counsel to tho
fountain of living waters, and to his
namo be all tho glory through Christ
Jesus.
Brother Ezekiel Long latored with
mo effcctually and successfully in this
meeting.
/ commenced protractcd meeting
with the Mt. Tabour Church, some
two miles below Central Station, on
Friday boforo tho Sd Sunday in Sop>
tcmbcr. On Tuesday evening follows
ing, tho meeting was full of interest.
Appointed to meet Wednesday ut 10
o'clock, a. M, for tho purpose OF adj
ministoring tho Ordinance of Baptism,
but was taken quito sick on Tuesday
night, and failed to attend. Tho bap
tism was deferred, but my pulpit duly
filed by brethren Davis and Arial, on
their way from Sandy Springs to tho
Twelve Mile Camp Meeting, There
woro four acccssions to tho church
throo by baptism and one by rcstora
ton, others profcsscd conversion pri-
vatcly, which as yet havo not con,
ncctcd themselves with the church.

(" Our Policy"

We publish on another page of this
issue, an article from tho Winnsboro
News, headed "Our Policy" in which
1T takes occasion to say, that on thcl
question of ro.organiziug tho Demo,
cratic party of this State, the PIcKENs
SENTINEL "declares for war;" Now,
while we advocate a thorough organ-
izution of the party, and straight
ticket in tho next and all future olec>
tions in tho State, and have not yet
seen sufficient reasons advanced in
opposition TO this course to change
our opinion, we arc not SO obstinate
as to refuse TO cooperate with the
party, should it choose to pursue q
different course; nor arc we so cgotis-
tic as to believe our opinion will have
much to do With tho future course OF
the party. In the discussion of this
question, we notice that thcro is not q
Democratic papor in the State but
what desires sOmo kind of oroaniza-
ton; but somo of them oppose II Do>
mocratic organization. We should like
to be informed how they propose to
organize, unless it Is as Democrats?
DO they propose to organize as Re
publicans? If so, the organization is
already completed, and they have
nothing to do only to step in. But
this We know they do not intend to
do, and We arc anxious TO know how
tho other organization is to DO effect
ed, and what its name is TO be. 1t is
already conceived, and as it has nc
gender, wo do not see any impropri,
ETY. in giving it n namo before its
birth. SO let us have tho name. But
we have dlgrosscd. We started out in
this article to say that we are not
"for war;" nor do wo advocate any
extreme measure whatever. We want
an organization so that the Democrats
throughout tho whole State can meet
in convention, through thcir chosen
representatives, and council together
and if they shonld deem it unwiso OF
impolitic to run n straight ticket, let
them decide what course we shall take
and not lcavo it TO the dictation oi
some radical clique in tho State. We
believe thcro arc enough honest Re
publcans who would cooperate with
tho Democrats to carry tho elections
provided tho Democrats would only
define thcir course in somo authori-
tativo way, so they might be assured
that there would be no division among
them.

dred strong, marched on the town,
but wcro promptly ropollcd by the
whites, under the command Of Con
Chalmers and u. S. Senator Alcorn
This timo tho negroes wcro tho ag>

have acted purely on the defensive,

Peaso's force from Jamestown, and
had them nearly surrounded. Chal.
mers is determined to capture Pcase.
This will end tho disturbance. Sheriff
Brown is still at Holcna. Hc denies
having melted the riot and has tele-
grarhed to Amcs that ho would quiet
the disturbance. Senator Alcorn has
tclegraphod to the Attorney Gonoral
tho following:
Having read several incorrect and
sensational dispatches touching the
recent race troubles at Friar's Point,
beg to assure you thcrc Dcod be no

Several hundred armed negroes, who
had been incitod by an iIl~tcmpcrcd

rapidly ropulscd by tho whites, under
the lead Of the most prudent citizens,
who have been following tho armed
bands ofnogrocs and dispensing them,
with as little violence as possible,
and urging them to go homo. Tho
mob has been dispersed, and think
will remain quiet. Thoro is no ques~
