Poe tic al.
For The Kgis d. Intelligencer.
One Hundred Years Ago.


One hundred years have passed away,
And with them passed from earth
The actors of that distant day,
Whose acts gave freedom birth.
Since then great changes have been wrought
Great forests cleared away,
Great cities built, great battles fought,
Great men are sadly in decay.
Great changes have been made, since then,
In arts, and arms, and trade;
Improvements great, except In mcn--
Great men appear to retrogradc.
Few men are living at this day,
Like those illustrious ilfty-siX,
That patriot band, whose acts portray
The giant minds of scveDty-six.
What modern State can boast son
The peer of Henry or of Lee?
Where is the peer of Hamilton?
What modern Jefferson have We?
It's true, we have some men quite great
Quite great In modern eyes;
Great in bulk and ponderous weight,
Great in conceit, and wise.
Some say occasions make great men;
Sometimes great men occasions make.
These men of old, with voice and pen,
Made Englands lion roar and quake.
There are some heroes, one at least
In modern times is found,
Who grasps the tail of England's beast,
And swings him swiftly round.

A SERIAL STORY.

We begin this week the publication of
a splendid romance, "Berkley Hal" !"
written in charming style by an accom-
plished daughter of Carolina, whose home
is in an adjoining State. The scenes and
incidents of our serial are principally To-
Gated in the low-country of South Caro-
lima, and are intended to illustrate the
civilization of that section, with its
thronging memories of troublous times
and its heroic endurance of misfortune
and adversely. This story will afford
much attraction for our readers, and it
will require several months for its COM
pletion. A limited number of extra
copies will be printed to accommodate new
subscribers, and persons wishing to secure
the entire story will send in their names
and money at once.

Col. a.. c. Haskell, Col. James P. Low
and T. S. Cavender, Esq, as the Board of
Commissioners to audit claims against

in the aforesaid bill. The powers and
duties of this commission are quite e1-
tensive, and the appointments of the
Governor are regarded wise and judi
cious. Col. Haskell is widely known for
his upright and honorable character,
while Messrs. Low and Cavender are not
tainted with any of the prevailing imper-
fections of the dominant party to which
they belong. These gentlemen have the
opportunity of saving large AMOUNTS to
the State by squelching fraudulent
claims, and we believe that honest en-
dearors will be made by them to exercise
their authority in rightful manner.

THE DEMOCRATIC COLUMN.

The prospect is Frightening each day for
an early and thorough reorganization of
the Democracy in Anderson County
For several years past there has been no
organization worthy of the name, and che
result has been a chaotic condition of
political affairs from which the enemy
has profted to great extent. The
masses recognize the necessity for imme-
diate action, and are not waiting for the
movements of prominent men in any Sec
ton, but are taking the matter in hand
for themselves-which augurs well for
the ultimate triumph of fdecency, intelli-
gence and honesty over duplicity, igno-
rance and dishonesty. An organization
springing directly from the people, and
backed with earnestness and enthusiasm,
will produce startling effect among the
croakers and malcontents, who are al
ways ready to interpose objections, ex-
press doubts and create dissatisfaction as
to the propriety of organization. This
has been the chief hindrance to greater
success in Andersen County heretofore,
and we warn the people against listening
to the carping criticisms and malicious
insinuations of those interested in pre-
venting organization, whose selfish ankle
ty prompts them to combine with politi-
cal opponents in order to secure lucra-
tive positions. All must remember that
the present movement is intended to
place the State in harmonious accord
with the National Democracy that local
prejudices must be subordinated to the
greater interests of the commonwealth !;
that self-sacrifcing patriotism alone will
redeem the State from the hands of q
corrupt and venal party; that any sug-
gestion which points to surrender of
political principles in this supreme hour
of the States need is giving aid and COM
fort to the enemy that the issues before
us involve life, liberty and the rights of
property, and that We cannot afford to
surrender all that is dear to freemen for
the sake of gratifying the greed and self
ishness of any man or set of men. The
gauge of battle has been rendered, and
we cannot decline without disgrace and
dishonor. Every honest man, without
regard to race or color, must be impor-
tuned to give assistance, and the contest
for honest, intelligent and correct gov
ernment in South Carolina must not
cease until the plunderers are put to
fight and the rights of every citizen
made secure. Republicanism is an utter
failure, and the only hope left is speedy
victory for the Democracy, animated with
a due regard for the rights and privileges
of all classes.

THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.

There is to be a mass meeting of the
friends of the Blue Ridge Railroad in
Knoxville on Thursday, the Goth instant,
at which representatives from various
points along the line have been requested
to be present. This will be the largest
gathering that has been held-upon the
subject of the Blue Ridge Road since the
war, and Of course every friend of the
enterprise is interested in its result, which
will be one of two things, viz: either to
give some practical assurance that work
is to be recommended with view of
completing the Road or to put quietus
upon the subject which will probably be
the death knell of the project. Feeling
the importance of the occasion it was
deemed advisable that Anderson County
should be represented in that meeting,
and fifteen of our capitalists and promi-
nent citizens have been appointed to at
tend, ard our object in referring to it
this week is to call ito the attention of
the committee announced last week, and
urge all, or as many as possible, to at
tend. Anderson is one of the points
most interested in the completion of this
Road, and it behooyes US to manifest the
fact that we appreciate the Importance of
completing this Road, and are willing to
give the enterprise our assistance. five
SO act as to appear Indifferent it may be
ruinous to the prospects of our Town.
The completion of this Road will bring a
large increase of population, and will
certainly make Anderson a prominent
commercial point in upper South Caro-
lima. 1t will give new impulse to every
branch of business, and will assuredly
establish manufacturing interests, which
will be most advantageous to all classes
of our citizens. Without the completion
os this Road labor and capital will suffer.
Our business will become stagnant, and
a great shrinkage in all values is sure to
come. 1t is duty to ourselves and to
posterity to encourage, by all means pos
sible, the completion of this enterprise.
1t is the duty of all the delegates who
can to attend this meeting, and show that
this County is not to be left behind in
efforts to complete this great Road, which
will be blessing to our County and
State.

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.

A correspondent writing from Pendla-
ton says: "I have spoken to many on the
subject of Democratic organization, and
find not one opposed to it. think we
shall get up in due time meeting in
our township, and report accordingly"
Since the foregoing was received, we
have been requested to call meeting for
Pendleton Township on Saturday, 10Th
inst.
Ainumber of gentlemen ask us to pub
lish call that the citizens in the vicinity
of Sandy Springs are requested to meet
ON Saturday next, 18th of January, for
the purpose of organizing Democratic
Club. Our friends in that vicinity hold
that there should be one club at every
precinct, instead of township, and hence
the call. Under the direction of the
State Executive Committee, it is recon-
mended that the organization be made
complete and thorough, including every
precinct and township, and if it is more
convenient to the citizens to have two or
more clubs in each township, there car
be no objection raised to such action.
The main object is to organize the voters,
and whatever will tend to produce this
end will meet the sanction of all interes.
ted.
We are requested to announce that
the citizens of Fork Township will meet
at N. o. Farmers Store on Saturday,
22nd instant, for the purpose of organic
ing Democratic Club, and it is earnest
ly desired that full attendance be Sc
cured to begin the work of assisting in
the redemption of the State from misrule
and degradation. The meeting will take
place at ten o'clock a. m.
The citizens of Rock Mills Township
are requested to meet at Williford's Store
on Saturday, 29th inst, at IL o'clock.
All persons favorable to the organization
of Democratic Club are invited to at
tend.

Public meetings were held on saleday
in this month at Sumter, Marion, Edge
field, Barnwell and other places to de-
nounce the election of Whipper and
Moses, and prepare the way for Demo-
cratic organization. The chairman OF
the meeting at Sumter declared that F.
]. Moses, jr., "shall never take his seat
as judge in our Court House unless
placed there by Federal bayonets." The
meeting at Barnwell requested Wiggins
to resign, and appointed a committee to
wait upon him with this request. The
meeting at Edge6eld refused to consider
q resolution thanking and compliment
ing Gov. Chamberlain for his recent ac-
tions, without reference to his past course.
All honor to Old Edgefeld!

ORGANIZE FOR VICTORY !
The Address Of the State Democratic
Committee.

At meeting of the State Central Ex-
ecutiye Committee of the Democratic
party, held in Columbia on Thursday,
the 9Th instant, the following address to
the people Of the State was unanimously
adopted and ordered to be published:
THE ADDRESS.
To the People of South Carolina:
The State Central Executive Commit
tee of the Democratic party do not deem
it necessary to publish any lengthy state
ment of the reasons which induced them
to meet at this time. 1t is sufficient to
say that events with which the people of
the State are painfully familiar. made it
indispensable that the organization of the
Democratic party in South Carolina
should be revived, as the speediest and
most practicable means of bringing to.
gether our hitherto scattered forces, and
of concentrating them in the struggle
into which we are forced for the mainte-
nance of Liberty and Law in the State.
Thus it has become the duty of the State
Committee to take such steps as will en-
able the people of the State to begin the
work of party reorganization at once,
and make it thorough and complete.
In the contest in which we are about
to engage we must win. Defeat cannot
be borne. Success, however, cannot be
expected to crown our labors unless there
be absolute unity in the Democratic par
ty, together with such discipline as will
ensure the prompt and efficient execu-
tion of its policy when declared. From
our adversaries must we learn, at last,
the lesson of organization and activity.
When the agencies on which society re-
lies for the conservation of its varied in
terests menace those interests with de-
struction, and threaten a whole people
with ruin, politics are NO longer a mat
ter of sentiment in which the citizen is
free to engage or not, according to his
tastes. Upon the management of our
political affairs depends the security of
property, as well as the safety of person.
By political movements alone can the
publication of the State Government be
accomplished. Only through political
instrumentalitios can honesty, fidelity
and capability regain q preponderating
influence in the councils of the State.
To politics then, for their own salvation,
must the people of South Carolina now
address themselves with the vigor, the
persistency and the systematic endeavor
which mark their conduct in business
