Notwithstanding the drouth, our young friend Harry McCoud is determined to make some of the staple thi3 year.

We give the card of this old and reliable Democratic organ io another column.. As evinced by its ex tensive circulation in this cc-Uuiy, it is ap preciated as cxve of the ablest Conservative jourpala in it'he South. Its editorials are brilliant and scholarly' and abound in wit and intelligence. - Sub6criUe 'for the Banner, if you want a good paper" from the capital. Improvements, . The buildings on the east 6ide of the square are going up rapidly. In the ccurse of a Lin weeks there will be about sixteen Bplendid new brick business houses on that side. , We notice also, that friand Rosenau; on the couth-east corner, ia securing his brick and lumber and will soon commence building an elegant store-house.

The demand for it is very large, and the manufacturers are ecacely able to keep up with the de mand. This ia a good evidence of the ea teeni in v.hieli ilia !uM by farmers. Head their column, and you will be pt to by a will. The Barbecue at Prcspeci. j According to previous announcement, a j special train left Pulaski, at about nine j o'clock Thursday morning last, for Pros pect, bearing ilia .Pulaski Division and nu merous l.idies ind gentlemen of th'i3 vicini ty, Vj j An in the gr-tnd temperance jubilee at that place, and to partake of tho rich barbecue prepared for the occasion. The train, under the conductorship of Mr. Stevenson and Capt. Abe Frizzell, without accident or nota-worthy incident, arrived at Prospect at about 10 o'clock, when the Pulaski Division, by invitation, repaired to th hall of Prospect Division and joined them in the march to the grounds selected for the occasion. 1 The speakers stand, surrounded by com fortable 6eats for the division, and the la dies, was located upon the hill half a mile south of the station and about one hundred yards east of the railroad, in a beautiful grove of forest trees. The dfcercises commenced by singing the opening ode, and prayer by the Rev. Mr. Brown. Rev. John A. Thompson, io beh. 1 of Prospect Division, welcomed the broth ers of Pulaski Division, f hich was respon ded to by W. P., Wm. II. McCallum, in be half of his brothers, Mr. Thompson then led off in a beautiful and impressive address, a synopsis of which, nor none of the speeches delivered, will we attempt to give, as they were nu merous and too lengthy for our limited epace. After the firfct addresa, which last ed about an hour, Mr. Jno. Meadows deliv ered a short but pithy extemporaneous ar gument in behalf of the cause. Then followed Rev. Mr. Brown, who seemed perfectly at home on the 6tand. Then our young friend Hawkins West moreland took the stand, who displayed great powers of oratory, both argumenta tive and humo?oU9, After which, that old champion of every good cause, Rev. W. G. Hensley, was called up and entertained the audience until dinner was announced, when the Divisions formed into procession snd led off to the tables, which were erected in the shade close to. the railroad and n ar a large spring. We shall not attempt to do justice to the liberality and good taste of our Prospect friends-by-a description of the splendid USrbecue spread before us. Suffice it to siy, a euper-abuDdance of every thing which that fertile country can produce and served in the very bsst style known to the culinary art was spread before the immense assemblage, and the host system and order prevailed throughout tho feast. Beef, mut- ton, f-hoat, ham, chicken, vegetables of all kinds, and desert ia great profusion and variety, continued to be placed ou the groaning tables as fast as they were clear ed, and if any were Dot satisfied it wae clearly their own fault. After the feast, the crowd re-assembled at. the $tand and were favored with one or more addresses, but as this reporter had found a delightful seat in the shade with some of the fair ones, for which the Pros pect neighborhood is famous, further pro ceedings at the stand were not noted. At 4 o'clock, the unwelcome toot of the Rail road whisila reminded us that the time for our return bad arrived, and reluetantly the excursionists from this locality bid farewell to tiieir hospitable frieuds of Proapect, and re-embarked for home, where we arrived about G o'clock. Again in., behalf of the Pulaski Division, and expressing the sentiment of the visitors from this place, wo return thai.k3 to the fair and hospitable ladies and liberal heart ed gentlemeu of the Prospect vicinity for their kindness and hospitality on this occa sion. The his.68 meeting Saturday will be com posed of men from every district, represent ing the sentiment aud wishes of their res pective neighborhoods, and we suggest that it would be an appropriate time and place to adopt a memoiial to the Legisla ture, respectful but determined in its tenor, asking, in the name of the peonle, a call for a State Convention, or a repeal of the odious franchise laws of the State. We believe that buch an appeal, coupled with the known determination of the people to resist Brown low's encroachment in the future, will have a salutary effect. Let U3 try it. An Item or much lNTEKfc6T to All. The Ur.i- tod States Congress hiis authorized Messrs. J. I Uromgoole & Co., regular practicing physicians. of Memphis, Tcnn., to prescribu for tho various dis eases of the country, and after a long bedside expe rience thor now offer tho public a class of Family Medicines winch for merit, beauty and cheapnes?, cannot be excelled on this continent. These medi chics are neither seerets nor paUinls, and a physi cians everywhere use them iu their practice they immediately command public esteem and ccnfi.lmcc. They are highly eulogized, sell rapidly at all points, and we eurr estly advise every family to buy a sup ply of th valuable remedies. See advertisement in another column, beaded "Great Southora Pre paration." Numerous anonymous letters have been revived through the Columbia post-ofHce within the past few days addressed to vari- j ou9cilizene, and containing fiendish threats of burning the town. Great excitement prevails, and should such a calamity occur the people are firmly resolved to try the virtues of hemp, steel, and lead as antidotes to negr- inceudiarism. A. Good Thing. On the receipt of twenty-five cents and a red stamp, information will be gien by which the person can make money. Address D. II. W., Box 106, Pulaeki, Tenn. Giles County Eesponds. The citizens of Giles will meet those of Lawrence and Wayne counties at Boden- hauler's mills, on Thursday 23d inst., io interchange views upon the prospective Railroad from here to La wrence and Wiyne. Addresses mny be expected from Gen Brown Maj. Jones, Gen. Gordon, Col. Rose, Hon. J. P. C. Reed, Jno. A. Tinnon, and distin guished orators from Lawrence and Wayne. A preliminary survey of the road will be made previous to that time by Mr. T. M Topp, Gen. Geo. W. Gordon and assis tants, and a report made at this meeting. We hope Pulaski will be fully represent ed in this meeting, as her interests are to be greatly afi'ected in the location of the ter minus of this road. A Negro Butchery. Three Men Killed tf Negroes. On Sunday night, two or ree negroes entered a room in which a young man nam ed Fi eeland was sleeping, oa the farm of his father, James Freeland, eome three miles from Columbia, and before he could make any resistance, buried their knives in his throat, culling it from ear to ear, and then-proceeded to mutilate his body in a most horrible x manner, afterwards escapes- ' .. Monday morning a negro man and a ne gro woman were arrested and brought to Columbia, on charge of having murdered young Freeland. The woman ,is said to have been lodged ia jail, but her accom plice was immediately seized by a party of white men, who carried him out of the place and are believed to have lyDched him somewhere in the woods not far from town. One of the negroes supposed to have been concerned in the murder of young Freeland is still at large. Two other white men, it is alleged, have been similarly murdered since- Sunday Music. J. L. Peters, music "publisher, .'New York, has favored us with the July numr ber of the "Musical Review, the monthly 'Glee Hive" and the "Parlor Companion."

It is a work long needed, and every flute and vio lin player should subscribe for it. Price 3,12 per year.

General Blair accepted the Vice Presi dential nomination, pledging himself to ad here to the principles enunciated in the platform . An enthusiastic meeting was held out side the Hall, which was addressed by Messrs. Seymour, Cox, Blair and others, all foreshadowing the triumph of the Dem ocracy.

To- ay we insert ia ourpuper an advertisement which no doubt will be hailed with joy by many or our readers. The yearly public demand for Patent or Propi ietary Medicines amounts to millions of dol lra ; und in contemplating this Important suoject a few plain questions naturally present themselves.
