which is to be celebrated at Pendleton
on the twenty-third inst, promises to be
very grand success in every respect.

ton, Gen. McGpwan, Col. Keith and E.
3. Murray. Esq. Gen. Humphreys has
ordered the 11th Cavalry Brigade to be
present, for the purpose of participating
in the meeting, and number of other
military organizations will he present.
Trains will in all probability DE arranged
for, and beyond Doubt the meeting
will be one of the largest that will be
held in the up country during the pres
ent campaign. The ladies are also invit-
ed dtogive their presence, and the occasion
will be enjoyed rs basket picnic, to
which all who. attend are requested to
contribute. Peudleton is near the corner
of Anderson, Oconee and Pickens coun-
ties, and this meeting will afford an op-
portunity for very large gathering from
each of these counties.

The Radical State and Congressional
Conventions met in Columbia on
Wednesday, the 9TH instant, and from
all appearances beforehand it must have
been a very. poor show. The Convention
will pretty certainly renominate the
Democratic State ticket, although the
Washington politicians have been anx-
ioua to have them nominate full radical
ticket from Governor down. The Repub-
licans of this State realize the hopeless
ness of such an undertaking as running
State ticket, and very sensib]y refrain
from enacting such n farce. In this
Congressional District, however, it Is
thought they viii nooinate E. NJ. Bray
ton, the present revenue collector,
against Cof Aiken; and if so, we may
expect a lively canvas, which will re-
suit in Mr. Brayton's defea! by about ten

HARDY Border Plants.

We promised, last week, to talk of
the best hardy border plants, or per-
ennials, as being admirably suited to
the wants of those who are unwilling
To take the uncertainties of planting
seed, and who also wish to use such
towering plants for home adornment
as will nearly or quite take care Of
themselves in the struggle of life.
Biennials are classed with peren-
malls, usually, as they are moved in the
Spring like the latter. Not unoften
they will flower three years from seed.
and many sorts are really imperfect
perennials, that IS to say, if divided
and reset, they may be kept many
years. Sweet Williams and Digitalis
belong TO this class.
Very many Of the plant. we shall
refer to are quite unknown TO lovers Of
fine flowers in our midst, for reasons
easy to understand. They are propa-
gated from the parent plant, and are
not extensively advertised, because
being easily kept when once planted,
it is no object to offer what will take
the place Of expensive bedding plants,
easily lost, and requiring to be re-
placed the next season. But a large
number of these are particularly we'll
