BRIEF MENTION.

Hurrah for Hampton 1t is only five
more days until Republicanism will have
net it's Waterloo.
5000 majority for Hampton on next Tues
day will do for Anderson County. Our peo-
pie should work incessantly until that day
to secure this result. Perseverance conquers
all things.
The Pickens Democracy will have grand
mass meeting at Central on next Saturday
morning. A number of speakers have been
invited, and O large attendance from both
Pickens and Anderson is expected.
We have not yet received accounts from
the consolidated meetings at Pisgah and
Willifords store. The day was however
propitious, and the Democratic canvassers
no doubt met enthus iastic and large audi
ences.
Rev. L. M. Aver has received q call to the
pastorate of the Baptist Church in Murfrees-
boro, Tenn, and expects to remove hither
with his family in few days. His depart
ure will be regretted by many friends in this
community.
On Tuesday, the 23rd ult., 260 bales Of
cotton were purchased by the merchants Of
Anderson. The staple has lately been COM
ing in briskly in order to pay off the cotton
option guano liens, as the time for payment
in cotton ended yesterday.
A vote for Chamberlain means the per-
petuation of rings and corruption in South
Carolina. 1t means the establishment of
a petty despotism in this State, with an
ignoble carpet-bagger from Massachusetts as
it's tyrant.
Mr.. Samuel Van Wyck met with quite
serious and painful accident on last Thurs
day afternoon from the falling of horse
which he was riding. His head and face
were the most seriously injured portions of
his person. We are pleased to state that he
was improving at last accounts.
A meeting of the colored people was held
in the Court House on last Monday
evening, at which few white persons were
present, and resolution was unanimously
adopted declaring that peace and good feel
ings existed between the white and colored
people of this County.
We are indebted to the kindness of Mr.
N. A. McCully, Assistant Cotton Weigher,
for statement of the number of bales of
cotton shipped from this depot during the
month of October, which aggregates 1858.
Our merchants pay the highest prices, and
Anderson still holds her own as a cotton
market.
A vote for Tilden is vote for the restora-
ton of the Union in the heart of the people
of the nation. 1t is vote for the burial OF
sectional hostility, for the restoration of
local State government. for the expulsion of
thieves and corruptionists from Office and
for the reduction of taxation. Hurrah for
Tilden
An error occurred in the advertisement of
the Commissioners of Election last week, by
which the precinct at Balls Mill was omit
ted. The omission has been corrected, as
will appear by reference to the announce
ment. The mistake was not the fault of the
Commissioners, whose original copy desig-
mated the managers named.
Lumber is being received at the depot of
the Greenvillc & Columbia Railroad in this
place to rebuild its platform. This is a re-
pair which has been long needed, and is
now almost necessity. We hope for the
convenience of the travelling public as we'll
as for those who do shipping and receiv-
ing business over this road that the work of
making new and substantial platform
there will soon be commenced and COM
pleted.
