I Gen. Hampton,s Portrait

"WADE HAMPTON, GOVERNOR OF South CAR
oLINA, is the subject of an exquisite nearly
life.size engraving, just published land now
ready by our enterprising friends, Walker,
Evans Cogswell, Charleston. 8. C. We con-
gratnlate these gentlemen on the grand success
they have made Of 30 noble subject. As o
work OF art it stands uurivalled, but still its
chief merit lays in its being q hfe-ike portrait.
IL is the hrst product, on so large o scale, Of q
new and secret process based on photography,
having the advantage Of great truthfulness. As
the photograph has su perseded the oil-paintine,
because OF its exact reproduction of the subject,
so this process is bound to take the place Of steel
engraving or any method which depends upon
artistic conception and execution for result-we
mean for the production of portraits. What
the people want in q portrait is truth -they do
not wish the artists conception Of man, but
the face and features Of the man as he is-and
by no means can this grand result be better at
tanned than by the means Of photography, and
this new process based thereon. But while these
great advantages are secured, it admits of the
embellishments OF art, and o portrait is pro-
duced possessing all the truthfulness of q
Photograrh, with tho artistic effect Of the
steel engraving. The putDshers have been ex-
tremely fortunate in their selection of the mode
by which they give to oil admirers of the great
statesman the noble, generous, manly features,
which speak 50 plainly the g, eat mind, elevated
feeling, and generous heart Of Wade Hampton.
Those who worked for the grand cause,
champion and Home Rule" who have paid tax
es to the government Of their choice, can now
place this picture at their fresides, as they have
placed its subject in their hearts. 1t must be-
como one Of the "Penates'' of South Carolina.
Those who sympathized with the gallant little
State in the struggle against such tremendous
odds, will be pleased to have this portrait in
their homes-a glorious memento of peaceful,
noble effort of a liberty-loving people to redeem
themselves from oppression and misrule.
1t will be sold by subscription only, at 50 per
copy.
Agents wanted to canvass every city and town
in the land.
To those who cannot be reached by agents, the
publishers will supply copies per mail, on the
receipt of the price.

PROTECT YOUR BUILDINGS.
Which may be done with one-fourth the
usual expense, by using our
PATENT SLATE PAINT
(Fiftesh Years Established.)
MIXED READY FOX. USE.
Fire-Proof, WATERPROOF, Durable,
Economical and Ornamental.
A roof may be covered with . very cheap
sbingle, and by application of thi, slate be made
patched and coated, looking much better and
lasting longer than new shingles without the
slate, for
0ne-third the Cost Of Re-Shingling
The expense of stating new shingles is only
about the cost Of simply laying them. The paint
is fIRE-PRooF against sparks or flying embers,
as may be easily tested by any one.
1T STOPS EVERY LEAK,
and for tin or iron has equal, as it expands by
heat, contracts by cold, and NEVER CRACKS nor
scales. Roofs covered with Tar Sheathing Felt
can be made water-tight at small expense, and
preserved for many years.
This Slate Paint is
EXT r E M ELY CHEAP.
Two gallons will cover hundred square feet of
shingle roof, while on tin, iron, felt, matched
boards, or any smooth surface, from two quarts
to one gallon are required to 100 square feet Of
surface, and although the paint has heavy
body it is easily applied with n brush.
No Tar is used in this Composition,
therefore, it neither cracks in Winter, nor runs
in Summer.
On decayed shingles, it fills up the holes and
pores, and gives a new substantial roof that will
last for years. CURLED OR WARPED shingles it
brings to their places, and keeps them there
1t fills up oil holes in felt roofs. stops the leaks
and although slow dryer, rain does not nf-
feet it n few hours after applying. AS nearly
all paints that are black contains TAR, be sure
you obtain our genuine article which (for shin
gle rOofs) is
CHOCOLATE COLOR,
when first applied, changing in about month
| to n uniform slate color, and is, to oil intents
and purposes SLATE. On
TIN ROOFS
red color is usually preferred, rs one coat s
equal to five of any ordinary paint. For
BRICK WALLS
| our BRIGHT RED is the only reliable Slate Paint
ever introduced that will effectually prevent
dampncss from penetrating and discoloring the
plaster.
These paints are also largely used on out
houses and fences, or as printing coat ON fine
buildings.

So remarkably large has been the demand

10 its new form, royal octave, thirty-two
pages, printed on the finest of super sized,
calendered paper, handsomely bound with
engraved cover, is without the slightest

The Baltimore Sun, which is published
in a Democratic city which was saved by
Federal troops from excuses such as those
which have disgraced Pittsburg and bur
dened its people with millions of debt, does
full Justice TO the great important Of a
strong federal army under proper consti-
tional control, but it keeps its head cool and
clear as to the still greater Importance OF
strengthening our state aud municipal au-
thorities. IL says with truth
There is more danger in the suggestion
that the federal power IS the only safeguard
for life and liberty 10 this country than
there is in all the perils to life and proper
ty now threatened by those enemies of So
cietY-to be found 10 all governments
who are availing themselves of railroad
strikes to come TO the front, and commit
robbery and murder under the guise Of
defending the rights of labOrers. For our
selves, we scarcely think that there needs
any discrimination between the industrious
working men Of the country and would be
Communists and actual thieves who have
taken the question out of the hands of the
strikers aud have elbowed themselves TO
the front, making war upon the vital in.
terests of society, and upon those who are
most concerned in their preservation, the
industrial classes. If General Sherman
had said we need the American army to
protect the country from mobs, we fear
that his words might have been borne out
by late experiences. But to say that with
out an army, strong standing army, the
American people would become q mob, is
quite different kind of statement 1t is
likely enough that, in view of late deyelop-
ments, it may be well to keep the army to
$4,000 or 100000 but our main reliance for
domestic order must be upon state and
local agencies:and upon bringing the volun-
ter troops to high state of discipline, for
II is already shown that it is practicable
for state to have volunteer force which,
In addition to native courage, can be train
ed to the GOODNESS aud self-restraint of regu-
lars, and refrain from Furnishing mobs till
1t Is absolutely necessary. Meantime,
when itbecame necessary for the governors
Of states to call on the president to aid IN
putting down instruction it is gratifying
to witness the promptness and efficiency OF
the response in recognition of constitution
al duty and the autonomy of the states.

Scared.

Ex.Gov Moses is meditating turning
states evidence, and the mere whisper of
the fact has stampeded nearly all the
carpet-baggers left in South Carolina.
Just before being committed to jail, he
wrote in a private letter to a friend:
For the last five years l have been sig
nailed out by many of the leaders of the
Republican party as a scapegoat, on whom
has been thrown all of the odium which
should have been distributed among most
Of those leaders. have borne it all, be
cause | loved my party more than | loved
myself. Hereafter my first duty on earth
will be towards myself and my family, and
my first step in the performance OF that
duty shall be to make atonement to my
state for whatsoever errors, shortcomings,
or even sins, may have been apparent 10
my political career. Self-defence can
shame no honorable man. and just re-
sentiment against those who have sought
TO injuro US can only be esteemed as part
OF a noble nature.
There is pathos 10 this worthy Of
Tweed, and the story, if ever told, will
be second 10 interest only to that of the
Tammany statesman.

An interesting fact attending the recent
outbreak in Louisville, which was at once
followed by the enrolment of nearly thous-
and citizens for the protection of the city,
was the service side by side of ex-Federal
and cx-Confederate soldiers. Ex-Secreta-
ry Bristow, for instance, colonel of one of
the Federal regiments recruited in Ken
lucky, stood guard with General Basil
Duke, John Morgan's most dashing lieu
tenant, and exhibited States Marshal Eli
H. Murray, the Youngest brigadier in the
Union Army, commanded one of the hast
lily mustered companies, while Major K.
Richard, who served under General Lee,
was one of his fellow-ofhcers Hundreds
of ex-soldiers of the blue and gray stood
shoulder TO shoulder in the ranks.
