We have utterly failed to carry them: but we have proved tbattbe white men are united, and that many of the colored men 'have recog L nized and discharged their duty. Twenty r eight hundred and fifty-nine votes were cast. Of theseeight hundred and nineteen were Democratic. One hundred of these votes were cast by colored men. Only 1 fi(teen white men voted the Radical - ticket! And not one of them of any so I cial or political -positior- Nearly half of t the white men of the District, did not vote at all. We have not shown our strength. But we will! The Central Executive Committee recommeiid that every man wi.o can at all afford it shall introduce foreigners to cultivate our soil, the dispo,ition of the m11;1j1rity of our laborers being such as to warrant only ruin to the planting interest of the country. B't the Cmmittee especially coin mend all those men-of whatever race or class-who have not voted the Radical ticket: 'nd they suggest thit all good and true men stand by them, and see that they receive the due rewards of jus tice and honesty. All men of eighteen years of age who have not voted the Radical ticket, are considered Democrats, and will be respected accordingly. It is recommended that the vice-presi dents proceed at once to enrol all the Duinoc;ats in their respective Beats and organize-clubs. If infornitin is desired, it will be furnished by the Central Exe cutive t;onmittee. All is not yet lost! Truth, justi:e and liberty are not yet dead! Citizens stand to your principles, and all will be weli! B! cahn: be wderate: bring the er ring iuto the fold, if possible. But be brave, honest, self-reliant.

Meeting for the Settlement of the Debt Ques tion. An extreme!y large meeting was held in Edgefield, says the Advertiser, Mon day the 13th. An earnest and intent spirit prevailed and the report submitted by the committee, met with emphatic apjproval. Gov. Pickens, being called to the Chair, and J. I1. Miums, appointed Secretary, the report was read, tbe prin cipal features of which we. lay before our readers. The report goes on to say there is nojust reason why thse who held notes and bonds for money, should not loso any thing f-rm the face of the nkotes or bonds, and that the whole amount, interest and all, should be paid up, by forced sales, dollar for dollar, while those wvho owned land and niegroes should be entirely sacrificed b)y a w2r, in which all Jengaged alike, and for the consequences of which all should suffei- equally. L:and has been reduced in value to ahnost ntI. izig w'hen forced to be sold in order to pay money, bonds, notes and miortgages. Trhe-labor that~made them valuab,le has been aboh.shed, while m.,st of our taxes are raised upon land, andl note and bond holders are comparatively but lighitly taxed. Now we tnink it but proper and right that a -community thtus situated ought, as just and patriotic men, to come to somte fair and equitable compromise by whichbthesettlemenmt of debts should be made. As neighbors, as fellow-citi zens raisei up together in all the walks of life, we owe it to ourselves, to justice, to honor, after our terrible calamities, to make a fair and friendly adjustment of all ouar debts, anid thus set an example to our ruined~ and disheartened State, so thycnsee that the District that was its first to leap off in, the war, as a band of brothers, was the first to show that we are still a band of brothers, and that - brave men are always just and magnani mious. We would therefore respectfully recomn mend .to the people of Edgetield Distnict, that all notes, bonds, mortgages or debts now held, involving any consideration, or based upon any obligations incurred during the recent war, from first Jan. 1861 to the first of May 1865, shall be adjusted a'nd settled upon the basis .of a, gold standard at the date of the contract or obligation, and then placed upon an eqnal footing with debts before the war. We further recommend that all notes, bonds, or monied obligations of any kind made or executed prior to 1st January 1881, with interest, shall be reduced to twenty-five cents on the dollar, and paid in currency. We earnestly urge the general basis of settlement to be made by ail our neigh hors and fellow-citizens, and whenever it is not agreed to, then we reconnnend that it be submnitted to an arbitratiojn of three or four men as the parties may agree upon, and the whole matter re ferred to these for full amnd final settle mnt. This would relieve us all from the heavy ec penses of litigation in our Jvurt,a and before mind juries, comn Iposed in part of our former slaves. It is well known that the expense of litigation, under the general distressed condition of~ our enuntry, will consume in most cases two thirds of the debt recovered, and if land be forced to pay it that the sale of lan1d now will not pay the other third. As to settlement of debts due by. Guar dians to wards, or by Administrators an~d Executors to widows and minors, we would respectfully recommend that' all such be made upon the same basis. except that an arbitration be made by thirteen good citezens chosen by the parties alternately, and that thef'r settle mhent be presented to the Court, on pe tition, praying that the Judge or Chan cellor shall confirm the samne. No NEGROES IN TuE CIIIcAGo CoNVEN TIOs.-Thurlow Weed, a Grant man and a republican. says;: "However blatantly members of Con gress- may affect Southern negro suf frage in their speeches, they know enough to keep negro delegates out of the Chicago Convention.

We have been jonrncying through the 114arens a long time, and we have seen mlany strange things since we-first sang to gether the matin song 6f Adam's world. We were then looking out, as we now are, with our seven orbs, upon the vast expanse of worlds, having amongst us the great centre of alL * Saw earth's beginning, "when it was without form and void, and darkness wai upon the face of the deep " We beheld %ith jo) the first ray of light that illumined its surface, and followed with wonder and admiration the Great Architect in the progress of' his work, till he made man in his own image and "put every living thing that moveth upon the earth" under his dominion. We saw his fair "help-meet" walking bsy his side in- the garden of Eden; we saw them, by their disobedience, fall, and in soirow and sadness leave forever the Paradise which had been prepared for their blessed abode We saw Adam's generations multiply atd fill the earth until their wickedness cried up to heaven: saw Noah building his ark on the plains of Judah, I-reparing for the floods of waters shich afterwards deluged the earth, and floated the ark to the summit of the mountains of Ararat : saw the wind:>we of the ark opened, and the dove go forth and return with the olive leaf in her mouth: we saw Noah and his family, and the living things that were with him, come forth out of the ark, rejoicing and giving glory to God: saw "the bow set in tho clouds" as a token of the Cov.nuit made with earth: and we have followed Noah and his de. scendents ini all the changes of hiAory from that day down to the present time. We are now looking out of the windows of our bright homes, watching day 6i night, the inhabitants of earth and other worlds; studying their chaiacter and habits, their strange conduet and actions-all that makes up their life and history. Nothing escapes us. We know even the th&ughts of men. We keep a record of what is doi: g in the earth. As it revolves on its axis we have the opportunity to bee every part of it once in twenty-four hours ; thus all nations every people,-of every land and clime, pass in review befre us every day. Lately we have taken peculiar interest in the affairs of that part of earth known as the American Continent, and designated more particularly "the United States." Our eyes have been turned especially -to South Carolina, and we have been watchiig clo.-ely the course of events in that little spot. We propose to dispatch the result of some of our observations in that quarter, -by the clestial tele-graph line which ,has lately been established between us. and that orb, by the way of the moon, with whose people we are also in communication, and from whioni we often der ive important informna. tion as to what is doing ini earth, as they are several hundred niillions of miles nearer the latter p'ace than we are, and hence have better opportunities of observation as to what is.going on there than we have. We will preparec these artie!es for publication in some one of your terrestial g zette.eqs they will be devoted in the m,ain to pu'blicat ters. Eut nec shall sk ocasien now and then to shew up individisals~ not _by nanes for iwe do nlot knoJw the namies of your peo ple, but bi- a description of their persons, so that their features will be readily recog nized. So look out down there ! You have been seen when you little dreamed th.tt you were secen, and some of you have been doing thinigs uhich- you-will be most heartily ashamed of when they .have 'been brought to light. You ,have been cutting strange capers .of late, and we intend to.ex pose you to your neighbors and the world. We will tell y'ou some mean things which you have been guilty of, and for whleh in this bright place you would be put to death in a manner which we may hereafter de seribe.to you, for in this country we do things very differently from what yon. are accustomied to do in yours. We have a df ferent sort of people-dfferenit laws and customs, and so with most of the world's which you see in this direction. There is however, in our neighborhood, a star whose inhabitants resemble yours very wnhchu in appearance and conduct. Froui earth you cannot see this star, and hence it is not to be found on any of your astronomnical maps. It is in the direction, and supposed to be utnder the influence, of Stazus. There is at this tinie great confusion amongst t.he peo pIe who live on that planet. They, like you, have been at war, and although it is now ended they caninot come to terms of peace. Hatred and envy, sin and iniquity abound, and pollute the land to such an extent, that we have just heard that preparations are about being wade to .destroy it. with all its people by fire. Be on the. look out-you may see the light of this conflagration in a few days. Before we proceed to give you glimpses of your part of the Universe we wish to give you an account of what has lately taken place in that, to you, obscured planet. It may do your people good by way of exqmple. * * The Astronomaer Madler arrived at the el. elusion that thie Pleiades formed the Centa group of our whole Ar-tral or SIdereal system.

SPRING.-IIail propitiosS season!1 yes we believe we can with safety say that this delight ful, long looked for, ardently desired, arnd fre'quently predicted as come, (when it had not,) season, is now abot to arrive. It comes under a cloud, preluded by a deluge or rather deluges of rain, with thunder, lightning and wind, enough to satisfy the most disagreeable, contrary -and careless clerk of the weather that ever existed. It's been coming for a month of Sundays, so said. We are forced to confess though that the pros pect is extremely fishy, for we are sttll in the wet, and ur.der the peculiar circum stances cannot help asking some of the rhapsodical, fanciful, romancers, who do th'e "locals" of certain 'country' weeklies, if they are aware of the mischief done in so often singing of the ap proach of Spring, before it dreams of coming. The first warm sunshiny day in January and their pipes are tuned to the song of Spring! From that time, till the middle or thereabouts of April, they continue to harp on this one string, notwithstand ing that a dozen times or more their very souls freeze under the frequent biting spells. Its high time that the practice be stopped. There is a point at which "natur" rebels, we have arrived there, an ii4ehalf of unwary sufferers, who believe in this thing, and are caught in the deluion, a protest is entered.r Suppose the Sun does shine a little warmly, the breeze feel balmy, or a 'lo cal," under the happy influence of a walk with ten or a dozen yar-ds of spott ted magin, discovers a little flower of< untimely birth, is that sufficient reason that his readers be informed that Spring has come ? It has to be stopped, and the sooner the better. What is the con- t sequences? Old farmers who think they cannot be caught with chaff, put cotton seed and corn in the ground. whicht never again see the light of day ; fruit I, trees put out their bloom only to be I ipped by a frost; amateur gardeners plough, spade and sow; and reap not of 5 their labor ; hens, heretofore sensible, are wrought to the belief that the time ' for setting has come, while their lovely "missusses" indulging in the anticipated ~ delight of killing "fried spring chickens," sot em ; what then, well some few eggs batch, but alas the miserable little chicks 1 emorge into a chilling world, and never rrive to the desirable fryable period; y tender hoeted rnaidens nut nn their last 1: lumfner's muslin, and get colds and sore broats for their pains; and so on through :he whole catalogue. Stop it, ) locals, ill the time, the set time comes when napleleaves arethe size of a silver dol ar,eaiithe martins show themselves, tnd the frosts are over, then unbutton rour vests, take inspiration from all na ure and'spout; for it will do no harm. rhink how absurd it is to read a Spring ocal, when just returned from mud ankle leep, and the thermometer at a freezing point. Be careful. TnuF. PoLITENESS.-Politeness is a summal V of all the moral virtues ; it -is in assemblage of discretion, civility, and :ircumspection to render to every one the duty he has a right to expect, and to idorn all our words and actions with grace and affability. It is the offpring of a well-directed mind, possessing itself, ind being master of its own sentiments ; that loves to do justice to every one, and to sacrifice its own interest rather than to injure that of others : that disregards the clawor of vulgar opinion, and re ,uires not an explanation upon every trifling or equivocal expression. A FASHIONARLE BosNET.-The follow ing design for a bonnet, such as will echpse anything in this line ever seen )r contemplated, is suggested, not with a view to injure the trade, as our milin -ry establishaents are now filled with the latest and loveliest, but that we may be gratefully pointed out as having riginated the latest gem, and receive the smiles and blessings of the ladies. [low to make it "Take a medium sized pumpkin-seed, enrefully cut out the meat on the under zide, put a narrow strip of fur around the edge, and fasten strings to the sides, and they will have a bonnet inl the pink of the fashion. The broad end of the bonnet should be worn in front to leep Dff the sun an-d win" L:Nr OF PHAYEnS.-The sufject on the lerigth of prayers is occupying the tten1tion of some of our exchanges. A correspondent of the Congregationalist and Recorder approves of the opinion of aiother, that a prayer in the pulpit sbould never occupl over eight minutes; and Srs: "The Lord's t)rayer occupies about Half a minute. Our Saviour's prayer for his disciples. in which he seems to poor out his whole heart of love in their be hIlf, is about four and a half min1uter long ; Daniel's remarkable prayer, chap) ter ix., three minutes ; Ezra's, chapter ix., two minutes ; .Nehemiah's, chapte.r ix., five and a half minutes , Solomon's, at the dedication of the temple, five minutes ; David's'great prayer of con fession, Psalm ii., three minutes ; the apostle's prayer, on the important occa donn of fillung the vacancy occasioned by the defection of Judas. is about twenty seconds long. I think that in one of the Psalms is the. form of praying-direct address to God, kept up f:r a longer time thin five or six minutes." The writer also says that he has heard a prayer, dedicatory of a very small meeting h:ouse; more than seven times as 14, Ua.& of King Solomon's at the dedieation of the T1emnple at Jerusalein. SUx Huoss T.'cIs.-ShortMelow *is a sensible fellow, and shiows such thorough knowledge of horse flesh that we give his views a local place, for the benefit of young horse fanciers: Yure views ar correkt, thare iz no tel ling what hosses will (rot by looking at them.~'Ltady Thorn-and Dexter are no note bilt alike than the Black Crook and Elying Scud.
