for delegates to said Convention?and to give at
least thirtv days' notice of the time and place at
which said election shall be held ; and the said registration

any person not entitled thereto has been registered,
to strike the name of such person from tne list;
I and such person shall not be entitled to vote. The
Boards of Registration shall also, during the same
period, add to such registers the names of all persons
wno at that time possess the qualifications required
by said Acts?who have not already been
registered.
Third In deciding who are to be stricken from
or added to the registered lists, the Boards will be
guided by the law of March 2d, 1867, and the
laws supplementary thereto, and their attention is
specially directed to the Supplementary Act of July
19th, 1867.
Fourth. The said election will be held in each
district at such places as may hereafter be designated,

each District are required to be present during the
whole time that the polls are kept open, and until
the election' is completed; and will be made responsible
that there shall be no interference with

order. If there should be more than one polling
place in any District, the Sheriff of the District is
empowered and directed to make such assignments
of nis deputies, and other peace officers, to the
other polling places, as may, in his judgment, best
subserve the purposes of quiet and order; and he

which his District is situated.
Ninth. Violence, or threats of violence, or of ;

intoxicating liquors at or near any polling place is
prohibited. The police officers of cities ana towns,
and sheriffs and other peace officers of Districts, will
^ be held responsible for the strict enforcement of
P? this prohibition, and will personally arrest and hold
for trial all persons who mav transgress it
Eleventh. Military interference with elections,
"unless it shall be necessary to repel the armed
enemies of the United States, or to keep the peace
at the polls," is prohibited by the Act of Congress
approved February 25th, 1865, and no soldiers
will be allowed to appear at any polling place, unless
as citizens of the State they are qualified and
are registered as voters, and then only for the purpose
of voting; but the Commanders of Posts will
keen their trooDS well in hand on the days of elec
tion, and will be prepared to act promptly, if the
? civil authorities are unable to preserve the peace.
Txcdfth. The returns required by law to be made
to the Commander of the District of the results of

?
Refused to Obey.?Judge Aldrich, upon the
assembly of the court of Edgefield, announced that
he declined to obey the order of Gen. Canby, relative
to jurors, upon (he ground that it conflicts
with his oath of office, requiring him, to the best
of his ability, ''to discharge the duties of his office,
and protect and defend the Constitution of this
State, and that of the United States," and also so
far as he "may be concerned in the drawing, balloting,
empanelling or summoning of juries, truly,
diligently and uprightly, to carry into true ana
faithful effect the Act of the General Assembly,
commonly called the Jury Law, passed A. V.
18.11, as the same has been altered and amended."
According to the law of this State, those who are
entitled, by the Constitution of the State, to vote
for members of the State Legislature, and who
shall have paid, the year preceding the sitting of
the court, for which the jury lists shall be made, a
. tax of any amount whatever, for property held in
At their own right. In other words, the juror must
Wf be a white male citizen, or emigrant from Europe,
W who has'given notice of his intention to become a
J citizen, a resident of the State one year, and in
additiou thereto, a tax-payer on property in his
b own right.

Cotton?Our market responding to more favorable
advices from New York and Liverpool, has
advanced, and we quote to-day, Middling at 13i to
13i currency, wiihout tax.
CHARLOTTE. October 21.?Cotton.?Sales to
day amount to 15 bales, at 14 cents for Middling.
CHARLESTON, October 21.?The market continues
to stiffen?prices advanced. Middling 18.
NEW YORK, October 21.?Cotton active and
half a cent higher. Middling Upland 20 cents.
LIVERPOOL, October 21, noon.?Cotton firmer.
Sales 10,000 bales?uplands 8}d.
CHARLESTON, October 17.?Cotton.?1The
staple having apparently reached its lowest figure
during the week past, say for Low Middling 14 to
14}, Middling 15, and Strict Middling 16 cents per
pound, prices have taken an improved change,
and the English market, which had descended to
8}d. per pound, for Middling Upland has become
more active, and prices have moved up to
8Jd. per pound, this advance causing a stiffening
of rates and an improved inquiry here, prices advancing
at this point from 1 to 1}, and in some instances
2 cents per pound, the quotations closing
yesterday at 16 cents for Low Middling, 17 cents
for Low Middling, and 17} to 176 per pound for
Strict Middling Cotton. The receipts of Upland
here are increasing, and the market has consequently
been characterized by more activity. We
submit the following statement of transactions
here for the week just closed:
On Friday, the 11th instant, the demand opened
to a limited extent, buyers operating at prices
somewhat easier than previous quotations, but afterwards
the cable having announced that the
English market had receded }d. per pound, the
inquiry lessened and the operations afterwards
were at rates from a } to } cents per pound lower,
sales 180 bales, Low Middling being quoted at 14
to 14}, Middling 15 to 15}, and Strict Middling at
16 cents per pound.
On Saturday a good inquiry existed and holders
being free, selling with the advantage generally in
favor of the buyer, the transactions amounted to
about 600 bales, Low Middling being quoted at 14
to 14}, Middling at 15, and Strict Middling at 16
cents per pound.
On Monday there was a better feeling in the
market caused by improved news from Liverpool,
sales about 300 bales, prices advancing in some
cases about a half cent per pound, Low Middling
being quoted at 14} to 15, Middling at 15}, ana
Strict Middling at 16 to 16} cents per pound.
On Tuesday an active inquiry prevailed, and
buyers operated freely at about a } cent per pound
advance, sales 700 bales, Low Middling being
quoted at 15}, Middling at 16 to 16}, ana Strict
Middling at 17 cents per pound.
On Wednesday the demand continued steady,
with much firmness on the part of holders, prices
stiffened a } cent per pound, sales 550 bales, Low
Middling being quoted at 16, Middling at 16} to
17, and Strict Middling 17} cents per pound.
Yesterday the demand from buy era were of an
active character at rather firmer "rates, sales 700
bales, viz: 1 at 14, 1 at 15, 30 at 15}, 22 at 15}, 87 at
16, 6 at 16}, 12 at 16}, 19 at 16}, 206 at 17, 57 at 17},
54 at 178, 84 at 17}, 110 at 178, 31 at 17}. We quote
Liverpool classification: Low Middling 16, Middling
17, Strict Middling 17} to 17} cents per
pound.
Corn.?There have been no supplies of this grain
received for some time, and although the demand
is extremely limited and confined to a light retail
trade, the lessening stock has a hardening influence
on prices, and we quote the market in a retail
way at $1.65 to $1.70 per bushel for Primo Corn,
weight, bags included.
Flour.?This article continues to have an upward
tendency, and prices of Southern have improved
during the week. We note sales oi
Southern Super at $13 per barrel ; Southern Extra
at $13.50 per barrel; and Southern Family at
$14.50 per barrel. With the advance in the price ol
Southern Flour, dealers have imported to a limited
extent of new Northern and Western, which
is selling at $12 for Super, and $13 per barrel for
Extra.
Bacon.?The stock of meat is light, and with a
moderate demand, holders have generally obtained
full and firm prices. The market is supplied
with inferior meat, but it sells at rates too irregular
to be quoted. We quote Prime Shoulders at
15$ to 16J cents per pound; prime Ribbed Sides
at 18$ cents per pound, and prime Clear Ribbed
Sides at 19J to 20 cents per pound.
Salt.?The stock of the article is light and the
enquiry continues moderate. We renew our previous
rates for jobbing lots?say $2.50 to $2.75 per
sack. '
India Bagging.?The market, by late arrivals,
continues to befullvsupplied with thisarticle, and
in consequence of the limited extent to which purChasers
confine their operations, the business clone
is quite moderate. We quote sales in large lots at
25 to 25$ cents per yard, and in a limited way at
25i to 20 cents per yard, as in quality and size ot
lot.
Rope?In consequence of the use of Iron Ties,
the demand for Rope is very light and prices irregular,
and somewhat nominal at quotations.
Wo quote Hemp at 13 to 14, Greenleaf 14 to 15,
and Jute at 12cents per pound.

PIEDMONT
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
of virginia.
T1HE Subscriber respectfully Informs the public
X generally that he has accepted the Agency of
he above Company, and is now prepared to issue
policies of LIFE INSURANCE. The solvency
>f the Company is certified to by the Court Om?rs
of Nelson county, Virginia, and is commendid
to those who desire to support a "Home Institution.
j. a. Mclean,
At the store of J. & E. B. Stowe.
the obj ect
Of this Company is to insure life?not indeed
? prolong life?but by paying a certain sum to the
beneficiaries of a policy when you die?thereby to
continue the exertions, Investments and benefits
bf your life to your dependents, after your life is
terminated.
However well prepared a man may be in a spiritual
point of view to meet the "king of terrors,"
if he be possessed of a thoughtful mind and a feeling
heart, he can but look with sad forebodings to
that finale of his earthly career which is to deprive
his fond wife and helpless children of that support
and fostering care which his arm has furnished.
He shudders as his mental gaze looks within the
gloomy portals of the grave and leaves behind
those whom he loved, as vagrants roamingthe
friendless, thorny paths of public charity!* et,
alas! how many do it!! when a small present outlay
would gild their troublous road with ease and
comfort, if spent in a Life Insurance Policy. Reader,
are you not liable to this sad death-bed reflection
of the unseen trials you bequeath those you
Leave behind, by neglecting this cheap protection
which we now urare unon vou? If vour mind
wore easy on this subject; i?you could feel when
you "shuffle off this mortal coil" your family
were provided for, you would be reuof ed of the
corking anxiety that fills every worthy mind at
such fears: you would be better prepared to pursue
your avocation with mental composure and
zeal. We do not mean to assert that money can fill
the place of a fond lather, yet we do assert, what
you biow to be true?money will prove their best
earthly friend when you are gone; and you can
leave them this certain friend now while you sue
living.
Can you?will you refuse it?
Business men are considered rather improvident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire. Now, your house may never be burned?it
may stand a hundred years; but your life cannot
last so long?your "lamp of life" must burn out
some day. You argue it is prudent to insure against
uncertain misfortunes to your property, and
yet neglect a certain event which wiU and must
come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and
prudence? We admit and assert the prudence of
the first, but assert the greater wisdom and necessity
for the last. Ask yourself the question, are
you doing right to neglect this opportunity to provide
effectually for your family in case of your
death, while you have it in your power? And
bear in mind?now, this moment may be your last
chance?death is after you! When once his "rugged
scythe shall clip the brittle thread of life," the
ghastly panorama of want and suffering will be opened
to the sighing hearts you took care of while
you lived. Remember! only while in health?before
age, with attendant diseases come upon you?
before you begin to loiter in sad sickness on the
verge of the grave?onl; while living?mentally
md physically living?can you obtain a Life Insurance
Policy. Life is a vast battle-field?death is
always the final victor?and while we do not urge
this process will disarm him of his sting, (for religion
only can do that) yet it will soothe your heaving
bosom to know you have provided for your
family before that trying hour comes. By having
Eiur life insured you "disarm the sting" ofpoverand
want to them. We imagine now we hear
e wail of suffering from some lone widow, while
she examines the merits of this business, as her
shivering group stand around her scanty fire and
cry for bread: "Oh! that my husband had insured
his life ! If he could have foreseen my lamentable
state he would have done so. He was kind
and good to all, and supposed that all would be
kind and good to us; but alas, ho'w mistaken! He
provided well for us while living; but if he had
insured his life, its benefits would have continued
to us now." Do not say this is a fancy sketch, for
many such a scene has really existed.
JOHN R. ALLEN is the Agent of the above
Company at Chester.

Of every 2000 pervoni, in one year, 09 will be dead; in ten
yeara, 588; in twenty yean, 1078. Such is the averifs
of human mortality
THE ARLINGTON
MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY,
OF VIRGINIA,
RECENTLY organized with abundant capital,
and controlled by some of the most competent
business talent of Richmond, Va., offers to INSURE
LIVES, upon terms as liberal as any other
Company in the Union, either upon the participating,
non-participating, cash, or part note system.
The insecurity of property, and the uncertainty
of life, appeal powerfully to every man upon whom
devolves a family for support, to invest a part of
his income in some permanent way, to provide for
them after his death. The following are examples
showing the annual premium upon $1000 for life:
Age. Annual Prern'm. Aje. Annual Prem'm.
20 $13 80 45 $29 00
25 15 80 50 35 20
30 18 30 55 44 80
35 21 20 60 57 80
40 24 80 65 72 10
Thus, a mere pittance of a man's annual income
will provide a competent fund for the support of
his family in the event of his death. It is tne duty
of every man to do this.
