t&r Attention is directed to the
new advertisement of the Planters'
Warehouse. The stock oo bandits now
large and daily additions te it are being
received. 1 .
X^, From notices on another column,
it will be seen that Dr. A. J. CHINA
will continue the Drug Business of.the
late firm of A. ANDERSON & Co. We
ask for him a continnance of publie fa?
vor and patronage.
COTTON COirtlNG IN.
The new staple is begining to come iu
quito lively. We learn that Messrs.
GREEN & WALSH, up to Monday last, j
had bought fifty-seven bales.
KINSMAN 4c ?JOW KII.
We direct special attention to the I
card of this firm in another column.- |
They are enterprising and reliable
Charleston men, always ready promptly
and efficiently to serve their friends in
the interior.
NEW GOODS.
Capt. E. C. GREEN reached home,
from New York, on Monday labt, and
his house already has in store, (and
what is almost ns essential, has adver?
tised in the columns of the Watchman,)
a complete stock of Fall and Winter
Goods. The trade opens briskly, and
there is already a rush to their store.
PAYING HILLS.
A friend says to us : "A man who is
owing him a little bill said he would
call last week and pay it if he was alive,
ile still appears on the street, but as he
did not call it is naturally supposed he
is dead, and is walking around to save
funeral expenses."
Dg&, We have been informed by the
Captain of tho colored Militia Company
at this place, that at no time was it con?
templated to parado his men on the oc?
casion of tho recoot Reform mass meet,
^ng^apji that no order or advice to oarry
^;,...imunition on that day were
?iven, and that ho desired to conform
strictly to the law.
.??
BQi. The Columbia Phonix of Friday
last says : "We learn that the mass|
meeting at Sumter Court House, on the
31st ult., was a great success. Thc
crowd was immense, and Messrs. Car?
penter, Butler and Kershaw spoke with
marked effect.
iga, The Clarendon Press, of Thurs?
day last, contains an article of some
length, in complimentary allusion to j
tho Academy of Mrs. HATTIE T. LE
GRAND,at Manning. Mrs. Dr.HERNANI
HUGGINS nod Rev. D. W. CUTTINO
arc associated with Mrs. LEGRAND.
Wc beg to add our word of commenda?
tion of this school.
Cga. We learn from the Clarondon
Press, that tho first bale of new cotton
for that county was brought to Manning
on the 27th ult., by our friend Col. J.j
J. CONYERS, and shipped by Mr. J.
TAYLOR STUK.ES, olerk for Mr. M.|
JACOBS.
PRMVIOUS TO^THB ld BUTING
On Wednesday last, it was rumored
that W. E. JOHNSON, tho colored Senator |
of Sumter County, had said that Judge
CARPENTER should not speak here.
It is but justice to say that JOHNSON
utterly denied, to us, having made suoh
a speech, and expressed his determination
to endeavour to preserve peace and
order on that occasion, and that this was
his course throughout tho meeting.
ggft, We learn that Mrs. HOWARD
CALDWELL is about to opon a boarding
and day school for girls at Atlanta.
She is a lady of rare accomplishments
-such as must secure her success.
a?- There was a Reform barbecue at
Duncan's Creek, in Newberry County,
on the 24th. Ampio arrangements wero|
made to serve the physical wants of the
citizens, and Y. J. Pope, Esq., of New?
berry, Rov. Mr. Jonas Byrd, Mr. J. M.
Calmes and Rev. G. B. Tucker, spread
before tbe peoplo, and especially the
colored people, in glowing and tolling
terms, many of tho crimes, plunders,
deceits and malignities of thc Scott
Ring. Several hundred persons wero
present.
WELL DONE, EDO BFI IC I. O 1
Tho last number of that noble sheet
The Edgefield Advertiser-contains re?
ports of the organization and proceed?
ings of ttcclve Union and Reform Clubs.
This is all contained in one issue of the
paper! Gen. BUTLER told ns, the
otb or day, that Edgefield, with its heavy
colored majority, would bo carried by
the Reform movement. The number
and activity of her Clubs givo un tho
reason.

sections of the mitfdle portion of thtffj
Stute, th? people responding to the call
with the tame carnee toes* which mark?
ed the great gatherings of tee uj
country, and tb? canvass, throughout
the State, as we gath or ' from bar
esobanges, is being conducted witb e
spirit which has not be^n'eqtialbsd since
the war.
Io almost every county, organizations
hare been effected, which embrace tho
great rcase"of the respectable and intel?
ligent white citizens and a greater ot
smaller number of the better, class of
the colored people. Ia this respect,
the unanimity is almost unparalleled.
There bas certainly b/jen unpolitical
movement in the State, since the war,
which bas enlisted the active co
operation of so large a majority of the
better elemente of the people. Tbe
election in behalf of SEYMOUR and
BLAIR did not so thoroughly move the
masses.
Where objeotiona were entertained,
and, at first urged, in other portions of
the State, because of the platform, both
on the part of the press and individuals,
the vitally hurtful tendency of urging
such objections has been seen, and
noble patriotism has indueed a deoided
stand and earnest words and actions in
favor of the movement. Thia has been
the case with the Yorkville Enquirer,
Anderson Intelligencer, Darlington Dem
ocr at, Chest erGold Democrat and George
town Times, until, now, there is bat
ono solitary paper in the State, not
professedly Radical, that is not in ? ac
cord with the movement in behalf of
poaoe and harmony and for the redemp
tion of the State.
We call upon our people to cast aside
their prejudices and join in with the
good people throughout the State who
are engaged in this great struggle for
honest govornment The matter is in
their hands. The response of the col?
ored people has been such as to put to
silenoe the main argument which has
been used by our impracticable friends.
The colored maa will oomo with us,
and go with us and stay with us, if
we approaoh him, as a people, in the
proper spirit. This has been abundantly
eliminated, already, in this canvass.
Many of the colored people are far
more ready to como to us than aro some
of our people to receive them, or to
encourrge them in so doing. But the
good work is going on. The two peoples
cannot remain hostile to eaoh other.
Upon tho platform now adoptod in the
State, there must be growing harmony,
until we shall witness the two races
working together for tho common good.
OUR NATIVE ARTIST.
The numerous friends and admirers
Mr. ALBERT QUERRY will be gratified to
learn that he has recently rcooived a
communication from Gen. ROBERT E.
LEE, calling him to Virginia, in Octo?
ber next, for tho purpose of painting a
life size portrait. This is a high com?
pliment to Mr. GUERRY, as an artist, and
wo make record of it with the additional
pleasure inspired by the faot that he is
a South Carolinian and one of Sumter's
sons.
Mr. QUERRY, for some time past, hos
made Gieenville his home, whero he
has so exhibited his talont, in his
beautiful profession, as to call forth
encomiums from thc press and people of j
that highly cultivated community. We
learn that he has commissions for
several portraits of G en. LEE, and have
but little doubt ho will succeed in
creating a work of historic charaotcr.
His portraits of Hon. RICHARD YEA?
DON and OTIS MILLS, Esq., of Charles?
ton, have been highly complimented by
oritics, and have taken their places as
among the most highly prized of the
family collection.
We learn that Mr. QUERRY will be at !
Sumter about the first of October, en
route for Virginia. Our best wishes
attend this rising young artist.
8BNSIBI1B.
The Courier Journal, in summing up
tho results of the election in Kentucky,
which shows that not a single county
was carried by the Radicals, has the
following liberal and sensible words
tottohingthe colored raoe: "If we cease
" to make the negro question a party
" question, and go to work kindly and
" patiently to improve tho mental,
"moral and physioal condition of the
" blaoks, they will ceaso to bo a dis
" turbaooe and become an industrious
" and possibly ? prosperous class."
This courso pursuod by every respect?
able whito man in South Carolina,
would bring a complete chango of the
present situation, even as the result of |
the pending eleotion.
A COSTLY DISPATCH.
The Tribuue, of Thursday, says its
dispatch giving aa aeooaot of the battle
of Gravelotte, fought on the 18th of]
August, which was published id our j
issue of the 81st, oost $2,280 in gold,
for the mere transmission from London
to New York, besides the oost of ar special

It was not possible to ascertain the
full results bf this meeting, but thst it

and a precious season to very many,
there is no doubt.
H?DICAL MRETTNG AT DARLING?
TON.
Tbo Darlington Democrat, of tho 31st
ult., says :
This long expected meeting was held
here to-day. To oall it a failure is to
do tho party no injustice. Little or no
enthusiasm was exhibited by the au?
dience, which numbered about two
hundred. It was quiet and orderly ;
not a single interruption occurred.
Speeches were made by Messrs.
Hausier, Rainey, Worthington, Whitte?
more and other lesser lights. Whitte?
more sang a song to the tune of
"marohing along."
The chief object of the several
speakers seems to have been, to embitter
the colored people against .their former
owners.
The Southerner, which is published
in tho interest of Whittemore and his
party generally, admits that "the
audience was not extremely large,"
which it says was "owing to the fact
that many wero compelled to remain at
home to attend to their farming inter?
est." It is certainly a significant sign,
and an omon of better days, if the
colored people stay at home to look ofter
their farming interests in preference to
attending rad ?cul meetings. And what
aro we to think, when thc eloquence of
the great apostle and high priest of the
Biog-the "distinguished" Wbitte*
more himself-fails to draw a orowd
right at his own homo, where, ol course,
he must he best "known'* and most
"admired ?"
JOS. H. RAINBY*
Speaking of the nomination of J. H.
Rainey for Congress, the Georgetown
limes says :
This we regard as a signal triumph
of decency over the corrupt carpet bag
clement which has ruled, and well nigh
ruined this State * * * Jos. II.
Bainey deserves not only the support of
his party but the thanks of all honest
and decent men.
The Horry News says :
From so staunch au opposition poper
to Radicalism as the Times is, the above
is decidedly a strong endorsement, but
nos tronger than Bainey justly merits.
We of Horry, have acooptcd the
priooiplos of the Beform Party, and to
act up to them it is our embounden
duty to support the Hon. J. H. Bainey
for Congress.
[From the Charleston News.]
TUB WAY TUB IV ON BY OOE8.
When tho aot to organize the State
militia was put in operation, Miss Kate
Rawlins, a comely mulatto woman,
(sister of Mrs. Whipper, we believe,)
was appointed by General Moses to bea
derk, or an assistant of some kind, in
the military bureau, with a salary of
$75 a month. The appointment was
made by order of his Excellency Gov?
ernor Scott, whoso flying trips from
Columbia to Charleston with the same
Miss Rawlins, two years ago, were
noticed in the publio prints. For tho
first nine months tho new appointee re*
coived, with commendable regularity,
her pay of two dollars and a half a day;
but about tbreo months ago the salary
was increased to $100 a month.
Will General Moses inform tho publio
whether this young lady of color has ac?
tually dodo a week's work in tho depart.-,
ment since her appointment? Wo are
told that Gooeral Moses has boon heard
to say that sho has not dono a day's
clerical work in twelve months. This
spiteful remark may, however, boacoun?
ted for by tho circumstances that tho
private assistant of General Moses (also
a mulatto woman) draws no salary.
Mies Bawlins is jestingly known iu tho
Ring ns "Mayor" Rawlins ; and Assis?
tant Adjutant General Elliott has ad?
dressed a letter to hor by that titlo.
But wo do not infer that she actually
bolds the official rank.
We have been thus specific in the
charge that Miss, or Major Bawlius is
paid ons hundred dollars a month for
doing nothing, in order that the publio
may Know the way tho money goos, and
may understand, bosides, what a pleasant
thing it is to be a favorite of the Ring.
Fifty thousand dollars was appropriated
by the General Assembly for carrying
out the provisions of tbs Militia law,

A CHEAP MOUSE.
Said old farmer Smith to his yoong neighbor
Jones, this is a cheap bouse I havo pat up for
Tom, who has just married j ho oan improve on
it when be mokea money. "Do you call this a
cheap house, Mr. Smith," replied young Jones,
"Well I don't. It hasn't got a saab, thoro aro no
banistors to the stairs, and the doors are so moan
they will swag so in a year that it will be almost
impossible to open and shut thom. You have
wasted moro money ou big joists, useless rafters
and unnecessary framing than would have finish?
ed the boneo in the most comfortable stylo. When
you build a house for yonr next son, write first

WHAT DOES It Ii A SON SAY 1
Tho little mongooso whon bilton by a doadly
serpent resorts to a certain plant, oats of it, and
escapes the effect of Ibo poison. That is instinct.
Human beings on tho other hand, must depend
on reason and exporlonco in selecting tho means
of protecting health and lifo against unwholesome
influence?. Now what does reason say on this
vital Qubjoct ? Docs it not toll ns that to inivgo
rato and purify the system is the best way to pro?
tect it aguinst the invisible poison which gener?
ates disease ? Suroly it does. Tho next question
is, what guido shall we follow in choosing a me*
dicinal safeguard? Reason replies let your moni?
tor bo experience. Woll, tho exp?rtenos of |
eighteen years oomprised in one unbroken series
of satisfactory testimonials assures us that Hos?
tetter's Stomach Bitter, possess strengthening,
regulating and nntiscptio properties which are
not combined in tho samo happy proportions in
any other preparation extant. Tbis therefore is
the antidoto to which reaaon bids us resort when
our health is imperilled oither by the malaria
winch produces epidemic disorders, or by any
ether cause, wbothor inherent and constitutional
or connected with our habits, occupations and
pursuits.
Tho venom of a noxious reptile is scarcely moro |
subtilo and dangerous than that whioh lurks in
foul air and impure water. To escapo the fevers,
bilious disorders, disturbances of the bowels, and
other serious maladies produced by these insalu?
brious elements, it ls absolutely necesary that tho
stomach and all the seoroiive organs should be, so
to spoak in a robust oondition. Upon the amount |
of resistance whioh tb? vital system can oppose
to the deleterious influenoes that ass ail it, the 1
safely of tho health depends, and lt is becsuso j
the G rt K AT TKQKTABLB I.NVIQORANT imparts
energy and regularity to the most important func?
tions of tho body, that lt can ba recommended
and gtiarnnteed as an invaluable preventive mcd
