Ax ATROCIOUS SPEECH.*-The Agent of the Fr. edmon's Bureau, in the town ol Madison, Florida, recently made a speech to a colored mass meeting, iu which he gare evidence thit he is a villtan of the deepest dye, and unworthy the countenance of the most Uam ble. After deprecating, in the strongest lan gua^e, the law of the State giving relief to Vr.e suffering widows and orphans of soldiers, wc are informed by a correspondent of the Tallahassee Floridian, he questioned the justice of the law condemning to the gibbet a ti' gr.) who commits the crime of rape upon a white woman. Good God ! and has it come to this, that an officer of tbe Government is tolerated in using the influence of hi* position to indirectly incite the negroes to debauch ur mothers, sisters and daughters ! " Tell i'. not in Gath ; publish *t uoi on the streets >f Asknlon." This Yankee Bureau officer mus' boa scoundrel of t brr deepest dye-b>rn and nurtured in a sewer of iniquity and de bauchery-a spawn cast forth ou the earth, to defiie everything with which they come in contact, and to stink in thc nostrils of all created thiugs.-Quituiau Banner. RIOT IV DANVILLE.- On Monday afternoon last, a party of sixty colored men, belonging to the burial corp-', stationed near Danville, went into the town for thc avowed purpose of " setting things to rights." Shortly after getting into the corporation, ?he}' met with a white citizen, with whom they got into an al tercation, very high words ensued, and threats of bodily violence were made towards him. About this time a colored man (living in Dan ville) came up, and took up the quarrel of the white man. He was quickly reinforced by colored men, and quite a large number ol' them gathered on the ground. A melee en sued. Pistols, stones, bricks, and otlft-r mis siles were freely used on both sides. After a stubborn fiuht, the burial corps negroes were driven out of town, into their camp. Three or four of them wera wounded quite .serious ly. Two of the resident negroes of Danville received wounds, but not of a serious charac ter. The negroes connected with the burial corps were employed during the war, und since, for a short time, in guarding Confede rate prisoners, and have been very turbulent and disorder'}' since they have been jn Pan vilic, and have been frequently engaged in dis turbances wi.li t ho colored people of the town. During the riot on Monday, Captain Tay lor, of the burial corps, was very energetic in his efforts to .-uppress it, sod was promptly and efficiently seconded l>y the police force of thc town. Everything that, could be done by the authorities, military and civil, to stop it, was done, but without success, until tbe bu rial corps negroes were driven out of the town to their camp. $3T- Wendell Phillips wanti to put a niggor on thc Presidential ticket with don.

BOOIE writes a timely letter concerning thc Wants ?nd woes of many poor and I helpless people throughout our Di'trict. He speaks more particuhirly, however, of those in hi? own immcdia o section. Such a revelation should ezrito the sympathy and stimula le the county of every one. If, seeing our neighbor sutler, we arc able !o do so and help him not, let us no more say, "Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee." And even in these evil days, thero are thoutandsand thousands and thousands in the South who are still abun dantly able to help a poor neighbor. But wc confidently hope that a period nil) very ??..on be put to all this suffering and want. There ir the cT-erwlio'.ining- ,'hcat cr? p. Surely, in this one respect nt least, many can giro of their abun dance. And we rend too that oa th? 4th of the pnscut month, the ship Purveyor, loaded with provisions by the Southern Relief Commission, sailed from from New York for a Southern port. And that even since then, the sanje Commission has shipped eight thoussnd bushels of cora to Charleston and Savannah for distribution in tho inter ' >r. As to our reverend friend's suggestion lint we le.we part of our taxes unpaid in order to help tho poor, his zeal and bl? philanthropy hurry bim away. Law is law. Our taxes arc pitilessly one rous, but it is not for any of us, individually, and in our capacity as prirate citi?ens, to alter the tax laws. Dc Irradiated. Let light enter your souls as regards Cucum bers. A friond, a " Southern Cultivator," tells us that there is no doubt of thoir being " he" and "she" cucumbers. And that it is uueless to sire seed from "she" specimens ; such seed brioging nothing but flowers. And he has left upon our table two well-grown cucumbers, ljing ?s if in each others arms, and joined firmly together, like tho ."riamcse Twin*, half way down. One har at thehlosiom end rt rough blackspot of con siderable slue : whilo the ether, in the samo lo cality, is perfectly smooth. The one with smooth end is tho " hs." aud from him alonr must seed be saved. Our informant says that this spot, in all capes, is the distinguishing ftalurc. So govern your F?cd-savlng accordingly. Who eau say that we havo set at the feet of this horticultural Gama liel to no purpose ? Neighborly Kindness. Wa present our most unfeigned thanks to that kindest of 1 ?od ladies, Mrs. Col.

COLES, lately of our own District, ?ow-a Fac tor and Commission Merchant in Augusta. He proposes to advance Corn and Bacon to planters ou a lien upon their growing crops. Tremendous Excitement. About the Brinly Plough. We are determined not tc spell it ff Plow" until ordered to do so by military authority. Why isrijl Southern people spell like old Noah Webster instead, of aid Saj?j Johnsen? Which lived first, and which was the most learned, and which was the most respecta ble? But about the Brinly Plough. See Mr. R. H. MINK'S advertisement. v Look out upin the square whon you may, and you see men flirting with the specimen which stands on the pavement beforo his door. This plough is renowned for easy draft, and thoroughness of work. Can be used oitbor as a turning plough, colton scraper, or as a sweep to cultivate cotton and corn. It ii recommended in the highest possible manner by Dr. M. W. P/iiLLin of the "Southern Farmer,"' Memphis Tenn., ?nd by W. N. WHITE Esq., of ? the woll-known "Southern Cultivator;" apd in j faet by vory many of tfce most eminent and prac tical farmers throughout the South, Mr. B?.;:n.r, the inventor, is a citizen of Louisville, Ky.

The President's Trip Southward. Tho President bas been making a trip as far South as Raleigh, N. C. Ho left Washington I about tho first of June, and relumed thither about fho 9th. On this trip bo iras accompanied by a considerable number of officers and gentlemen, the most prominent among them being Mr. KEW Ann, Secretary of S tate, and Mr. RANDALL, Post master General." The object of the excursion was to bo present ut the inaguration of a monument at Raleigh in memory of President JOHNSON'S father. The President's father lirod in Raleigh, and died there about the year 1 SI2 ; he was a sexton and bank-porter, and a man universally honored for his high integrity and self-sacrificing humanity. From Raleigh the President and his party went to Chapel Hill to attend the commencement exer cises of the University of .North Carolina. On his gurney from Washington to Raleigh, and from Italoigh back, the President was every where received with distinguished hospitably and rospect, and indeed with considerable'formal pub lie demonstration. Dis speeches at Richmond, at Petersburg, at Weldon, at Raleish, at Chapel Hill, as well as thoso of Messrs. SEWARD and P.ANDALL, havo boen very ?hort and very quiet, touching but lit tle upon purities or public matters. . --?---?o-?-> Final Downfall of the Empire in Mexico. Qtieretoro, tho last stronghold of Maximilian, has fallen, and with its fall the Empire in Mexico bocomos as it were " a talc that-is told." Louis Nopoloon, the author and movor of the attempt, despairing of accomplishing the objects of the French expedition of 1862, finally deserted Maxi milian, and, in tho beginning of the present year, withdrew the French troops from Mexico. Since then, thc bravo- and hapless Austrian Archduke has hold out gallantly against overwhelming odds and troubles. He is at prosent either a prisoner in the hands of Juarez the triumphant Liberal Chief, cr his soul has gone to God who gave it dismissed from thia world by Mexican bullets. The unfortunate prince, toort unfu.jnately for himself, inaugurated on his side the policy of no quarter, and hoisted the black flag. The impres sion is strong throughout our, country,, that be bas been shot by order of Juarez. The matter, however, is still involved in entire uncertainty, And most earnestly do wo pray that, in our next is?uc, w? may bc able to announce the safety ef the heroic, though misguided, Austrian : and tho eicopc of the already too degraded Mexicans from ?he horrible stigini which .*uch atrocity would furever fasten upon thea;. Scrub Horticultural Exhibition. A scrub horticultural exhibition took place on Thursday morning last at the store of Mr. ROUT. II. MIKS. Is it disrespectful to designate it as " scrub ?'' We believe the term is generally op plied to affaire which ore got np in a sort of im promptu, higgledy-piggledy manner. Wei!, be that as it may, the exhibition took place; ced another of the same sort will take place on the coming Thursday. Our to*ispcople and neigh bors are invited to appear, armed and equipped with their biggest and fineft vegetables. To meet thus-, aud look and laugh and chat, is a vory pleasant t'-iing. On this lint occasion, our friends, Messrs R. H. Mivs and M. LKBfcscncLTz, wore the only contri butors. Mr. M. contributed Squashes, Beans and Beets; Mr. L., Caeu.nber?, Potatoes and Onions. Eaeb one of course tonk a prizo. And the prizei were-!he tumultuous thanks of the Ai?eer/uer corps to whom the vegetables were finally sent They were extremely fine-the vegetables, not the ?banks-and bear testimony te the skill aiid ener gy of their producers. As to the mmner of dis posing of them, it is worthy of universal imita tion ! Suppose the ladies *end,some Bouquets OR Thursday. Where is the mammoth bouquet Capt. J. C. B. promised us soino we:ks ago ? Ah, p?r fido I A Wonderful Attraction. A wonderful attraction, avery wonderful at traction-to all who have ever visited it-is The Planters'Hotel, Augu;ta, Ga. And apropos of wonderful attractions, this is the day of that sort of thing. Barnum has his " What is It?" Max Marctzek has hi- " Wurld renowned Cantatrice," Grau bas his " Magnificent Ristori," Daa Rue has his " Great Show," and Thad. Stevens has his " Confiscation Scheme." Now Barnum is right shrewd, und Maretzek aud Grau are Tery good Italian Managers with big moustaches, and Dan is a " Great Showman," and old Thad would go right straight to Heaven (?) if he were to die to day. But, then, what are all these to KlCKBRSOS and Duse AR of the Planters' Hotel, August*, Ga.? Nothing! Mero tyro?, bunglers. There may be tWo Barnums (which God forbid !) and there may be loo Maretzek.-' and two Circus and tiro Dan Rices aiid ttvo Thad. Sttvetn-cs (which bitter, God especially forbid !) but there is emphatically but one NicKUUSOM and ono DC30A5. They arc . gentlemanly and courteous, tbrewd and popular, liberal an J enlightened ; they have wonderfully good taste, as well in inatlcM of style und elegance as io affairs of comfort ?nd convenience; and withal, they are good-sized of their age. And speaking of "style and elegance" and "comfort and convenience," reminds us to say that if you wi.h to find all these combined iu tbt most perfect manuer, go straight-way ta the Planter's Hotel, Augusta, Ga. Now, style and elegance and fashion and external show all have a horrible attraction for us Americans. There is no u?e in denying it. Wc aro unalterably prone to'pfttroiiixc institutions renowned for high style and fashion. And when, now and then, we ind an institution combining the highest style and fashion with the profoundest comfort, convenience aud luxury, as does the Planters Hotel, wo ought certainly to prize that institution, and lound the trumpet of fame concerning it. And -ince we oVe on this subject, let us tell ti ?a certain opartment at the Planters, which we regard as a ?ort of historic?! museum. 'It is one of the handsome, yet quietly elegant parlors. The curtains ar? of curious and very heavy Jrisb Poplin, amber colored, with broad and rich'crim son satin stripes-and amber and crimson fringe to match. We say nothing of the splendid lace; 'tis with the poplin wo have to do. Upon peeping under tho covers of the chairs, settees, and avery luxurious, circular, Turkish:looking divan, which o?cupie; the middlo of the floor, you find that they are irpuolatered ?n this same uncommon Irish poplin. A lady seeing UH peeping thus, yolun tecrcd'tho history of the poplin. Wo hare no doubt ii i* perfectly correct. Before the war, thia poplin belonged to tho famous Miss PIRCKNRTS of Charleston, famous for thoir illustrious descent, for their virtues, their wealth, their hospitality. They had a suite of apartments hung with this poplin throughout-in all three hundred yards. It had been in their family %t eighty years. In the last years of the war, when all the people of the low country had met with such unhoard-of losses, and were compelled to dispose of almost anything they had left, this poplin was sold in Columbia at auction. Mr. NICKRRSSX bought it, and applied it as wo haye described. pgr A wiiite man named Herren?, recently committed tb jail in Charleston on a charge of attompted rapo on a little colored 'girl, bung himself on tho night of the ?th.' ?Sr Goncral Longstreet publishes a letter in the Now OrleanB Republican, containing the fol lowing" paragraph : " Theailitary bill and amend ment are peace offerings, and we should accept them as such, and placo ourselves upon them as the starting point from which to meet future po litical Issues as tkGy arise."" tf-jf Three men who wore arrested at Colum bus, Gu., on Monday of last week for horse-steal iug/prove to be deserten from thc Fifth United States Cavalry."

A. BOLLES* Agent of the American Bible Society for South' Carolina. Mr. BOLLXS ii a Lutheran olergyma"n. of hL?h character and great worth-a native of j Charleston. Ten years before tho war,, and two. ?years since, he has boen the faitbfal and efficient .Agont of tho American Bible Society for our State. No organization which exists, or ever ol msted, has done moro good in tho world than the American Bible Society. . Ccrtninly-hy arl means-thc clergy and poo pic of oariiown and District ought, iq this respect? to follow trio goad cxaroplo of tho clergy and people pf Greenville. In former yeaTS, thero was a small Bible Society hero, organized in 1856,-of which Rev. E. E. BELLINGER was President, and T?. T. WRIGHT, Esq., Secretary and Treasurer. This Society was coniposod principally of Metho dists and Episcopalians. Now. let Methodists, Episcopalians and Baptists (?ie latter'so strong in our District) co-operate anrt i rganize in'Edgo ficld a permanent Society. EdgcSold should have a Depository Xor Bibles and Testaments. Tho. Bible-that deop,, unfathomable minc of wisdom, virtue, glory, comfort, salvation- should bc placed in tho hands of every accountable being among Gfld's creatures. Mr. BOLLES promises largo donations of Bibles and Testaments, when they shall bc applied for by responsible parties, cither through .-. Bible Society, or a Bib'e Committee of three or five good and trustworthy men. For the^dvertiscr. Destition in Edgcfield District. ? I believe, Mr. Editor, there aro 24 Boot Com panies in Edgefield ; and there aro not provisions enough in tho District to feed half the population until crops are made'. There' ?re hundreds of families that must suffer unless .they get aid ; and this from some charitable source. Tho drought of last summer, and tho poor chance of a great majority to muke a crop, was such that-many aro obliged to suffer now. Besides tho demands- of mimy disabled and worn-out soldiers and'freedmen of tho present day; tho cry of tho widows and orphans for food may bo heard all over the laid. This is heart rending to any individual.of sympathising mind; to any ono ono who has proper feelings of hu manity. There never bas been such destitution in our day. The bard times of 18 ! 7 and 1815 and '46 ore nothing in comparisen. Allow mo to sketch<a picture; or, rather, to give yon some facts as they actually occurred. Not long since, information WAS asked through tho Advbrtitef, concerning thc names of thd most destitute in the District. In order to answer this effectually, thc citizens of Kirks-iy's Cross Roads called a meet ing. After consulting and inquiring over thc matter, it was asccrtaioed that thero wero over forty families of widows and orphan?, that were entirely destitute. This -sopo embraced the Briar-Patch Beat Company. But to thc true point. Wc sent up a recommendation to thu Commis sioners of the P.ior of EJgefi'sld Ditrict for aid. It was granted ; at least in part. When thc day came for distribution, there were seen the maimed, the halt and the blind, coming to get a small pit tance of bread to sustain life. Small indeed it 'was; for each applicant received only 14 lbs. of corn. In that ero'.vd were to be soca not only the old and infirm, but tho"trader infant, thu little smiling face of innocence, and tho offspring of brave soldiers who fell victims tb the r"'.atices fury of a cruel war. I said that there were over forty families of widows and orphans in this Heit. Now if we add all the small children that arc not able to earn a support, wo find that it will make ODO hun dred and ten appiicants, all of whom are entirely destitute. Thc committee appointed to investigate the matter, have obtained tho above number. Let us now make an estimate. It will take at least forty bushels of corn per month to feed them, and threo hundred lbs. ol' bacon; and they will have to live ia a very scurry manner at that1 It will only be about 28 lb? of corn (or a half bushel) per month, and oue .ind a half lb?, of bacon per head. The question nr?es now, how are tbeso destitute persons to bo fed? We an swer, by charity : for tlrcre ar>: no surplus pro visions in all-this country. I am glad that there have been some provision? mado by our friends, to help alleviato tho wants ot : ii o destitute. But I am fearful that these will not jxlcnd far enough. I have not particularized the other portions of the District, but if thc destitution is as great throughout as In the portion I have describad, it must be aw ul in the extrema. I know t|iat, there ?rc hundreds of widows aud orphans scattered, hero and there, who aro destined to sailer. There seems to be no hope for SOP. 'if them. This is no exaggeration. Fae ts aro too '.un. We earnestly pray for help in behalf of Marvin; humanity. Let it cime from whatever : ?tree ii may. May the good providence of the Lord hcjp U? in this trying hour of distress. Wc aro unable as a pep plo to.do much in alleviating these wants of the poot by w?y of donation*. Eat can wo not .do tomelhingt Let us try. If we wait, for foreign aid, some human beings moy actually starve be fore it comes. I think, Mr. Editor, it would be a good ihjog if the people, instead of paying all their taxes to the State, to lula support institu tions of minor importance, aud certain obnoxious extravagances which burden us at this critical period, would only defray sucbr expenses as are. actually necessary, wo should get on mach bettor. I will not stop acre to argue tho point further on the tax question. T?ut witt fust add that wo arCiu duty boiind, by all the ties of nature and- hamani ty, not to kt our neighbors suffer, if it be iu cur power to prevent it. ? We again urge tho people to let every otlfer ? consideration bc subordinate to that of assisting tho destitute in their privation* ami great need. I know that there aro many who say they are obliged to ob:-y all the injunctions that come from high authority ; and so wc an; to some extee-t But " charity begins at homo." . '.

I The release ol Jefferson Davis has plunged the New Yol k press rather prematurely, per haps, into a discussion of the great question of the repudia!?on ci the national debt. There have been thesv who have predicted ?ill along that the time was surely -coming when tlx? politics ul tlc North would turn. upo:i thc question of repudiation, They have pointed to thc startling fact that of the votera in the (Inion not more than two hundred thousand are actual-bend hilders, while the other four br five million are'concerned in submittingto no more tuxes to pay the interest, on those bonds. They asserted that seme demagogue would arise tvho would purchase his way to power by appealing to the ii.terests of the bond less millions. It seems as if that most demagogical of all newspapers, the Herald, has- snuu'wd tu? coming storm, and: Las taken to trimming its saiis to profit by thc trouble. Dunn?? the past week it bas been busily en jinged in furnishing excuses for the advocates of repudiation, lt argues that the release ol Mr. Davis is a virtual contVssiori-thatno trea son against thc United States has beeu com mitted, that thej-cfure, the South was-juslified in resistance, and, of course, tb* war'to sut; du.e her was unjust and unauthorised. It fol lows that a debt contracted in 5u?;h a way Was it i thoo t h?gai warrant, and - ougtrifeinot to bc 'paid. To use the Herold's own words; ".Un derstanding thu action of the CfpvernnM.ni rind the judiciary, as virtually declaring there H no ?bcu crime a? treason, tr?; should aol le surprise I tot r, vciUiitifics ysur*, t?tt tle.bl cn* atcd by (he uar, repudiated us an imposition and a fraud." - . Thc 'lribmie, without designing to do SP, furnishes additional arguments for the repudi ationists. It takes ground, in an elaborate editorial, that the Southern States were, by acknowledgment of the Supreme Court, bel ligerents in 'be late war, and were conquered by the Nortli. It follows that ?as the debt r/a; levied ?rpressly to put down rebellion, its .levying Was n fraud, ff these bc the views of the two leading journals of the Norih,and are expressed so openly at th?3 time, it does not require the wisdom of a soothsayer to predict that this land will be convulsed with the question (Sf repudiation by i lie next fall elections. Candidates will be Tun on a Re publican ticket, and as the voto of. thc shirt less laborer ia equal to that of a Vanderbilt or Astor, the result pitnn?t fcc q?rjbtful.

It will bo seen that General Sheridan has removed Gover nor Wells, and appointed in his placeaba no torious rioter Th?s. J. Durant. Thc cause for this high handed proceeding we do ?ot know, but it would seem from thc telegram, that it was based upon Go-eriior We!|s: pe tition to the President, for tte'rc-nppointment; of the old Levee ?ommissio'itersj which Sher idan removed some time ago. ' This action of Sheridan, coupled with ?bat of P^po, Schofield, and others nearer hoirp, | would seem to indicate ?hat r ti C R id i eil p?l?r ' cy is to he carried out ia ile reconstruction of the Southern States-that the policy of the President-the policy of justice- and humani ty-is be totally ignored.
