S?ir-Re?pcct.
A brave man straggling with adversity
is a sight worthy of the gods. And a
brave people, whose fate it has been to
suooumb to superior power, and to drink
to the dregs the bitterness of humilia?
tion, if they bat preserve their integrity,
and keep the whiteness of their souls,
will shine on the pages of history and
forever attract equally the suffrages of
admiration and sympathy. But they
mast never forfeit their self-respect,
must be true to themselves always, true
to honor and duty, and be no less boldly
than discreetly regardful of their proper
character. If beaten on one point, they
must show their vigor and manhood on
another.
In their day of power and pride, the
people of South Carolina staked every?
thing upou priuoiple. They were tho
advanoed guard of the State's rights
column in its grand strugglo with con?
solidation. While the coutest was on
the floor of the Senate, whero tho mighty
ohampidns of debate met and measured
thoir swords of argiimeut, the victory
usually ronioiued with the ndvocates of
her views. Those whom she furnished
for the arena, if uot always successful,
were always able aud always respectable.
No man, not even tho matchless Web?
ster, could cope with Johu C. Calhoun,
when fully roused upon his favorite
theme of the rights of the States. These
doctrines, so unanswerably maintained,
and go gloriously enshrined in tho
volumes of his works, wore put in issuo
on the field of battle, and went down in
the strife. But.
"Truth ornsh'd to earth will rise again,
The eternal years of Qod are hors."
History has her revenges, and the
oanso whioh to-day lies bleeding will, in
the revolutions of the wheel of time
acquire a power for its maintenance
corresponding to its intrinsic virtue and
worth. We have bnt to yield to the
storm whioh we oanuot resist, and, liko a
flexible plant, only bend to rise again
erect and stately aB ever. Let ns not
lose faith in ourselves, nor in God. Lot
ns not abandon our country, nor turn
our back* upon its past, nor dospair of
its future fortunes.
A Radical paper published at Biog
hampton, N. H., applauds the arbitrary
arrest and imprisonment of citizens of
New York oity by Davenport. This
shows how Grantism has taken hold of
that party. They are reudy to applaud
the invasion of a man's private residence,
tho violation of constitutional rights, and
the depriving of citizens of their liberty
as a means of party saccess. Davenport
is unlawfully arresting honest citizcus,
meu who aro in every respeot, .socially
and morally, his superiors, and throwing
them into prison, and a Grant organ ap?
plauds the act. Does not this show that
Grantinui means death to our liberties?
Release of Captain Topper Upon
Ten Thousand Dollars Bail.?A mo?
tion was made, Monday morning, before
Judge Graham, in the Court of General
Sessions, at Charleston, for the release
on bail of Captain George Tapper, who
is charged with killing Captaiu John D,
Caldwell, in this city, on the 21st of last
September. Captain Tupper was taken
to Charleston by Sheriff Frazee, and ap?
peared in court Monday, in company
with his counsel. General M. C. Butler
and Colonel William Wallace, and, upon
the motion made by General Butler, the
following order was issued by Judge
Graham:
"It appearing in this case that the
petitioner aud prisoner is detained iu
custody, under a warrant of commitment
directed to the Sheriff ot tho County of
Richland, of the Stute of South Caro?
lina, und so detained for a bailable of?
fence, upou a showiug by affiavits, it is
ordered: That the said prisoner be let to
bail, and that he enter into reoognizance
himself in the sum of teu thousand dol?
lars, with four sureties, each iu the sum
of twenty-five hundred dollars, to the
State of South Carolina, conditioned to
appear in the Court of Sessions, to ho
holden at Columbia, in and for tho
County of Richlund, on the first Mon?
day in February next, to answer to a
bill of indictment thoro preferred aud
found against bim, tho said prisoner,
for homicido, and thut he will uot depart
the court without leave.
"It is also ordered, that the said re
oognizanco bo entered into before tbe
Clerk of tho Court of General Hossiona
for the County of Charleston, and for?
warded to tho Clerk of tho said Court ot
Goneral Sessions for tho said County of
Kiohlnud."
Captain Tupper was released immedi?
ately after tho issuiug of tho foregoing
order, upon his own bond, signed by
tho following persons: Mrs. E. Y. Tap?
per, S. Y. Tupper, Wm. L-udlor and C.
W. Montgomery.
Tho Riohmond Whig says that it is
now known that Wm. it. Toller, the de?
faulting toller of tho State Bank of Vir?
ginia, betrayed tho soniidouoo reposed
in him, "to assist others, uud not to eu- j
rich himself."
The State Fair.?Yeaterdoy was
"opening day," bnt there was not a
very extensive turn-out of visitors.
About 11 o'clock, Pro'. Ruohar'a 18th
Regiment Bund arrived, and in a abort
time was in fall blast?discoursing beau?
tiful airs from different operas. "II
Bacciu" bad many admirers. Tucre is
an elogant and extensive display of arti?
cles?nearly every inch of available
room being taken up in the main build?
ing. Lunch and dinner are furnished
by the ladies connected witb tbe Monu?
mental Association. Tbere are hundreds
of articles which are well worth looking
at. Among those which particularly at?
tracted attention were a representation
of Mephistophiles in soap-stone, and
some very daintily cut cameo beads?
portraits?the work of Mies Addie Sims,
of JonoBvillo, Union. The work is
beautifully done, and is tho more won?
derful from the fact that tbe lady lias
never received any instructions in sculp?
ture. The only implements used in
cutting the cameos were a pen knife aud
needle. "Mephistophiles" is to be
milled for the benefit of the Indies'
Monumental Association. A "family
hair-tree"?the work of Mrs. M. L.
Hims, of Fair field. It has twelvo sepa?
rate brunches, representing twelve mem?
bers of the family?each branch with
small limbs extending from it. Every
member of the family is represented?
from the white-haired parents to tho
light-haired infant. Baskets of fruit,
bouquet of flowers and two marblcized
harps, the work of Mrs. T. M. Pollock,
wore universally udmired. A basket of
fruit by Mrs. S. S. MoCully, and a
splendid lot of Palmetto work by a deaf
and dumb man, Joseph Jenkins, of
John's Island, including mats, baskets,
etc., attracted attention. Miss Chicora
Kirk, of this city, (whoso ngo is twelve
years,) has exhibited considerable skill
iu tho preparation of curls, frisottes, etc.
A wax water lily, tho work of Miss
Shellie MoMaster, of Columbia, is very
pretty. Messrs. Wearu & Hix, us usual,
exhibited specimens of their pictures,
which were generally admired. A wreath
of wax flowers, by Mi6s Mollie Lovell,
(aged twelve,) of Oranguburg, was u
capital imitation of nature. A case of
wax fruit, jellies, etc., made ono feel in?
clined to handlo or taste, iu order to
feel positive as to its geuuiuencss. An
afghun and bed-quilt, executed in
crochet, by Miss Barclay, of Charleston,
had many admsrers; while the speciuieus
of shark's teeth exhibited by her father,
had a tendency to increase tho disiiku uT
landsmen as well as seamen to those
dangerous wolves of the sea. Miss Alice
McKonzie's portrait of her father?exe?
cuted without over haviug a "sitting"?
is generally recognized and admired.
Miss Eugenia Orchard exhibits several
specimens of her skill iu manipulating
tho paint brush; tho portrait of her
iuiher uuu Lue "Gipaoy Mother" wero
warmly commended. "St. Goneviove,"
by one of tho uuus at Valle Crucis, was
also greatly admired. Misses Sallic
Witherspoon, Mary Brady, M. L. Pick?
ling, Emma Ilope aud Ella Ilcudrix also
exhibited creditable specimens of their
skill in painting. Mrs. W. K. Bach
man's "Soa View" is very pretty. Mrs.
W. T. Bltrge's oil painting?cotton
plant?is exceedingly beautiful. Mr.*.
H. C. Ingcrsoll's flower picturo is very
tastefully arranged. MissO. A. Wescott,
of Edisto Island, has displayed great
skill in her painting on the inner lining
of tbo Palmetto cabbage leaf. Miss M.
B. Arthur's pencil drawing is exceeding?
ly well done. Mr. Edward S. Jcuuison,
of Charleston, iu a worsted-work portrait
of .General Washington, shows what uu
individual of tho male persuasion can
accomplish iu his leisure hours. Tho
following is a partial list of tho articles
ou exhibition:
Iu tho household department are in?
numerable specimens of jollies, pre?
serves, pickles, etc., prepared by Miss
Pickling, Mrs. McCammon, Mrs. B.

day of tho perpetration ol a most foul
and brutal assassination upou the person
of Mr. John B. Harris, on Sunday night
last, about ono mile uud a half from
Graniteville, S. C. Mr. Harris lived
ubout threo ui?e.s from Graniteville, and

noon, mounted, to go home. Yesterday
morning his lifeless body was found iu
tho road, ubout one mile and a half from
tho village, with two pistol shot wounds
?ono iu the bond nnd tho other iu the
left side. That ho was killed for the
purpose of robbery seems apparent from
the fact that his pockets wero found to
have been rifled. The horso upon which
ho was mounted made its way homo yes?

tained to the perpetrator of tho cold

To deal fraukly, honestly and firmly
with all men turns out best in the long
run.
If you would bo happy be innocent,
indulge not in impure thoughts. Evil
thoughts are the germs from which
spring crimes nud misery.
An old Spanish writer says: "To re?
turn evil for good is devilish; to return
good lor good is human; but to return
go?d for evil is God-like."

Pernicious Purgatives.?The bril?
liant idea of half a century ago that tho
weak and ailing could be bled, blistered
and salivated iuto a condition of health
and vigor is happily exploded; but vio
. lent and prolonged purgation is still,
to some extout, in vogue. We have im?
postors who nre daring enough to offer
1 to tho world, as touics aud restoratives,
? tho most desf motive cathartics, unmodi?
fied by a single stimulating, soothing or
restorative element. Compare the ope?
ration of ono of these terrible nostrums
1 with that of Hostott-jr's Stomach Bitters,
. iu which nro combined tbo throe great
curativo olemout8?a touio, an alterative
and an aperient. Tho former completely
paralyzes the vital forces, so that nature
can mako no resistance to disease; the
> latter sustains tho strength of the pa
I tieut, whilo it restores the suspended
. functions of tho Becretory orgaus and re?
lievos tho bowels without violence or
pain. It is simply n choioo between re?
storative aud prostration. N3|3H
, Tho great Robert Theo. Stickney, the
champion of tho world, and his iufaut
son, will astonish the pnblio with their
wonderful feats in old John Robinson's
