Mas- Bey, Macon, Georgia. Tliis Gin has been before the public since 1871, aud has glveu universal satisfaction v herever tried. I have seut but few to your State up to this time, but those few have given perfect satisfaction. The Excelsior runs light, gins fast, picks the seed clean, and makes a nice sample of cotton. It is simple iu construction; any one large enough to put the cotton in the roll box can feed it all day and not brake the roll. No shaking the box or using a stick to keep the roll going—no necessity for a self-feeder. I am fearful they will not feed my gins as fast as I would like, still they will do as well on my gins as on any other. The faster the gin is fed, in reason, if you have the power to drive it, the better. 1 can feed this gin fast enough to stall a common team, and still not brake the roll. Of course, this I do not advise. The gin Is bo constructed that the saws have a new surface of cotton every revolution of the roll of cotton. These gins are of the beet, material and warranted iu every respect. I have an experience of forty odd years, i built the first gins Mr. D. Pratt ever sold, aud 1 believe this to be the best gin for any ami everybody to use, 1 cyer saw. That you may have an opportu-uity of buying this gin, 1 have appointed the following agents in your State, through whom you can order, and to enable me to fill orders promptly, please send them in early, 8.

This action South Carolina Democratic Con-tion- Platform—A Sound Deni-ocrat— Wade Hampton’s Address. Charleston, Aug. 17.—The Platform com* raeuces: “The Democaatie party of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, au nouncethe follow in*r as its platform of prin ciples: “We declare our acceptance, in perfect good faith, of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Federal Constitution. Accepting and standing upon them,we turn from the settled in the final past to the great llviug and momentous issues of the present aud future. We adopt the Platform [of Principles announced by the National Dem-ooratic party, recently assembled at St. X-ouis, and pledge ourselves to a full and hearty eo-operatiou in securing the election of its distinguished nominees, Samuel J-Tilden, of New York, and Tbos. A. Hen-drieks, of Indiana, aud believe that, under the wise and just administration of its dis-tinguished reform leader, assisted by the eminently patriotic and wise counsellors by whom he will be surrounded, peace and prosperity will again bless our country, and that, the dissentions, confusion aud malad-ministration of the past eight years will give place to concord, good government and a thorough restoration of the Union, iu ac-cordance with the declarations of that plat-form aud the utterauc es and acts of our dis-tinguished leader. “We demand a geuuiue aud thorough re-form iu the State of South Carolina, and call upon all of its citizeus, irrespective of race, color or previous condition, to rally with us to its redemption, for it is evident that, substantial and lasting reform isimpos-sible within the ranks of the Republican party of this State. “We charge that party witli arraying race against race, creating disturbances and fo-meuting difficulties; with prostituting the elective franchise, tampering with the ballot box and holding unfair and fraudu-lent elections; with having accumulated au* enormous debt, mismanaged the finances and injuring the credit of the State; witli levying exhorbitant taxes and squandering them when collected, thus wringing from the honest poor man of the State a large per centum of his hard earnings without giving m return any compensation therefor, and that it has hopelessly involved in debt a majority of the counties iu the State ; its management in the penal aud eharitable in-stitutiou8 is a shame aud a disgrace; we charge its legislation as demoralizing, par-tizan aud disgraceful, aud the venality and corruption which has characterized every branch of the government, executive, leg- Islatlve aud judicial is uuparalled in the his-tory of nations.” The platform does not charge this state of things upon the masses, but upon their leaders. It proceeds: We therefore call upon all of our fellow citizens, i respective of race or past party affiliation, to join with ns,in restoring the good name of their State, and to again ele-vate it to a place of dignity and character among the commonwealths of this great country; we discountenance all disturbances of the peace, aud denounce all instigators and promoters thereof, aud call upon all of our fellow citizens, irrespective of parly lines, to exercise forbearance and cultivate trood will, and if the government of the State is committed to our bauds, we pledge ourselves to protect the persons, rights and property of all its people, and to speedily bring to summary justice all who dare vio-late them ” Columbia, 8 O., August 18.—The follow-ing is the a ldress, rti full, which General Wade Hampton delivered before the eonven-tion : Mr. President aud Gentlemen:—In ac-ceptlng tlie houorable post to which you have called me, that of your staudard bear-in trie great struggle of reform which you have beguu, I do so with the most grate" ful appreciation of your kindness, and the most profound sense of the high but grave responsibility pertaining to the position. In tin: better days of our country, when the surest passports to official station were found in the ability, the honesty and the integrity of her public servants, the most distinguish-ed sous of South Carolina looked upon the Chief Magistrate of the State as the goal of their highest ambition aud the best regards of t.heir public service. If the men of whom Carolina is justly proud held in such high estimation tlie desire of being thought wor-thy by their fallow citizens of the highest office in the gi t of the State in the day-s of her prosperity aud peace, how much more highly should I esteem the honor you have done me, by calliug me unanimously to lead you iu this hour of gloom and peril? You are struggling for the highest slake for which a people eyer coat aided. You are striving to get back to our prostrate State the inestimable blessings, which can only follow orderly, and regulates liberty under free and goou government. We believe that these blessings cau only be secured by a complete change in the administration of our public affairs, State aud national. Be-lieviug this, our sympathies and our inter-ests lead us naturally and inevitably into al-liance with that great party, upon whose banners are inscribed the watchwords of Democracy—reform, good government., a hard money and home rule. '“You have endorsed and ratified the plat-form of the Democratic party accepted at St. Louis, aud in the planting of yourselves firmly on that, you look forward hopefully and confidently to victory, which you will not only share, but to which you will have contributed. The platform which you have adopted here, is so catholic in its spirit, so strong in its foundation, so broad in its con-struetion, that every man in South Carolina, who honestly ties'res reform, cau find room to stand upon it With such a platform, when the citizens of all parties and races can stand assured of equal rights and full protection, you eau surely bring back to our destucted State the great blessings of good government. For myself, should I be elevated to the high position for which you have nominated Minor Telegrams. Washington, August 18.—Cameron has gone to Harrisburg. Chandler has gone to New York.

A strong pressure was brought to bear iu favor of peace or an armistice, which was by the Prince refused. The report is untrue that Belgrade is be ing prepared for seige. THE MARKET*. NOON.

Examiner and Patron: Your valuable paper makes its regular visits to our place, and is welcomed by the members of our Grange, as a most substantial friend of our noble Order. Our Grange has been growing steadily in num-bers and interest since its organiza-tion, and we now number fifty-nine members, headed by one of the best Masters in the State, who is both practically and theoretically a first class Granger. Our Lecturer Bro. R. Pate, is always to be found iu his place, dispensing to the Grange the best information to be obtained from the first periodicals of the day, together with good advice for which his long experience has qnali-fied him. Our other officers and members perform their duties Well in their respective places. We are located on Wheelock Creek, eight miles from Keechi sta-tion and about the same distance from the new town of Buffalo. The valley of the Wheelock is considered one of the finest farm-ing localities in the State, eveu in the very dry year two years ago, all our leading farmers had a surplus. Our Worthy Master, E J. Oden, made that year, one and one-third bales of cotton to the acre. And Brother T. J. Oden, often makes 60 bushels of corn so the acre The Messrs. Oden are engaged iu the milling business, and are noted for large bushels when selling, as well as for low prices in time of scarcity; they having sold their corn for one dollar per bushel when otli-er mills were charging one dollar and fifty cents and two dollars per bushel. They have two cotton gins running by water power and a horse power for dry weather; also, a sor-ghum mill and evaporator, and manufacture an excellent article of sirup. Our society is good, we have a school, a thriving Sunday school, and regular preaching. To persons looking for a home, I would call at-tention to the valley of the Whee-lock. Come and look at our land, and get acquainted with our people. You can get first-class uplands, un-improved, or improved, or bottom lands on the healthiest creek in America at a reasonable price.

Dear Sir and Brother.—In the Examiner of the 25 inst., I see some resolutions from Steiner Grange, No. 1140, in relation to the estab-lishing of a German Grange paper at some point, for the dissemina-tion of Grange intelligence among the farmers of tl > State, of that portion of our population who hail from the Fatherland, and devoted to agriculture and horticulture. Such an object and purpose is praiseworthy and practicable, and merits the very best efforts of all your people, whether memhers of the Order or not. It not members, they then have the advantage of a paper under the guidance and con-trol of the largest agricultural as-sociation ever known to the world. The Order of Patrons of Hus-bandrv is a grand organization rev-olutiomzing not only agriculture, but the public sentiment of the na-tion, and are introducing new thoughts aud ideas into the public mind. It is giving dignity to the farm-era of our country and honoring their occupation, and to that occu-pation no people are more devoted than our noble German farmer. They are developing the resources of our rich lands and demoustrat-ing i lie adaptability of our soil and climate to a diversified agriculture. An organization that affords such facilities should be commended by every means and in every way pos-sible to the favorable consideration of the agriculturists of the coun-try. I am glad to see this movement on the part of my German brethren, and sincerely hope, that it will be pushed, with unrelaxed energy, to a final consumation. I am also hap-py to see the interest manifested by the German farmers in this great State, in this grand movement, and trust it will be an instrumentality in bringing about a social, moral, in-tellectual, and material reformation in that class of our population, to which its great efforts are devoted. Let unremitting effort guide your course in this matter, and may it be crowned with satisfactory sue-cess. Yours truly, Wm. W. Lang.

Mas- Bey, Macon, Georgia. Tliis Gin has been before the public since 1871, aud has glveu universal satisfaction v herever tried. I have seut but few to your State up to this time, but those few have given perfect satisfaction. The Excelsior runs light, gins fast, picks the seed clean, and makes a nice sample of cotton. It is simple iu construction; any one large enough to put the cotton in the roll box can feed it all day and not brake the roll. No shaking the box or using a stick to keep the roll going—no necessity for a self-feeder. I am fearful they will not feed my gins as fast as I would like, still they will do as well on my gins as on any other. The faster the gin is fed, in reason, if you have the power to drive it, the better. 1 can feed this gin fast enough to stall a common team, and still not brake the roll. Of course, this I do not advise. The gin Is bo constructed that the saws have a new surface of cotton every revolution of the roll of cotton. These gins are of the beet, material and warranted iu every respect. I have an experience of forty odd years, i built the first gins Mr. D. Pratt ever sold, aud 1 believe this to be the best gin for any ami everybody to use, 1 cyer saw. That you may have an opportu-uity of buying this gin, 1 have appointed the following agents in your State, through whom you can order, and to enable me to fill orders promptly, please send them in early, 8.

The country around does not afford sup-plies or forage along the road. Between Niche and Sofro, villages haye been aban-doned.

This action South Carolina Democratic Con-tion- Platform—A Sound Deni-ocrat— Wade Hampton’s Address. Charleston, Aug. 17.—The Platform com* raeuces: “The Democaatie party of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, au nouncethe follow in*r as its platform of prin ciples: “We declare our acceptance, in perfect good faith, of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Federal Constitution. Accepting and standing upon them,we turn from the settled in the final past to the great llviug and momentous issues of the present aud future. We adopt the Platform [of Principles announced by the National Dem-ooratic party, recently assembled at St. X-ouis, and pledge ourselves to a full and hearty eo-operatiou in securing the election of its distinguished nominees, Samuel J-Tilden, of New York, and Tbos. A. Hen-drieks, of Indiana, aud believe that, under the wise and just administration of its dis-tinguished reform leader, assisted by the eminently patriotic and wise counsellors by whom he will be surrounded, peace and prosperity will again bless our country, and that, the dissentions, confusion aud malad-ministration of the past eight years will give place to concord, good government and a thorough restoration of the Union, iu ac-cordance with the declarations of that plat-form aud the utterauc es and acts of our dis-tinguished leader. “We demand a geuuiue aud thorough re-form iu the State of South Carolina, and call upon all of its citizeus, irrespective of race, color or previous condition, to rally with us to its redemption, for it is evident that, substantial and lasting reform isimpos-sible within the ranks of the Republican party of this State. “We charge that party witli arraying race against race, creating disturbances and fo-meuting difficulties; with prostituting the elective franchise, tampering with the ballot box and holding unfair and fraudu-lent elections; with having accumulated au* enormous debt, mismanaged the finances and injuring the credit of the State; witli levying exhorbitant taxes and squandering them when collected, thus wringing from the honest poor man of the State a large per centum of his hard earnings without giving m return any compensation therefor, and that it has hopelessly involved in debt a majority of the counties iu the State ; its management in the penal aud eharitable in-stitutiou8 is a shame aud a disgrace; we charge its legislation as demoralizing, par-tizan aud disgraceful, aud the venality and corruption which has characterized every branch of the government, executive, leg- Islatlve aud judicial is uuparalled in the his-tory of nations.” The platform does not charge this state of things upon the masses, but upon their leaders. It proceeds: We therefore call upon all of our fellow citizens, i respective of race or past party affiliation, to join with ns,in restoring the good name of their State, and to again ele-vate it to a place of dignity and character among the commonwealths of this great country; we discountenance all disturbances of the peace, aud denounce all instigators and promoters thereof, aud call upon all of our fellow citizens, irrespective of parly lines, to exercise forbearance and cultivate trood will, and if the government of the State is committed to our bauds, we pledge ourselves to protect the persons, rights and property of all its people, and to speedily bring to summary justice all who dare vio-late them ” Columbia, 8 O., August 18.—The follow-ing is the a ldress, rti full, which General Wade Hampton delivered before the eonven-tion : Mr. President aud Gentlemen:—In ac-ceptlng tlie houorable post to which you have called me, that of your staudard bear-in trie great struggle of reform which you have beguu, I do so with the most grate" ful appreciation of your kindness, and the most profound sense of the high but grave responsibility pertaining to the position. In tin: better days of our country, when the surest passports to official station were found in the ability, the honesty and the integrity of her public servants, the most distinguish-ed sous of South Carolina looked upon the Chief Magistrate of the State as the goal of their highest ambition aud the best regards of t.heir public service. If the men of whom Carolina is justly proud held in such high estimation tlie desire of being thought wor-thy by their fallow citizens of the highest office in the gi t of the State in the day-s of her prosperity aud peace, how much more highly should I esteem the honor you have done me, by calliug me unanimously to lead you iu this hour of gloom and peril? You are struggling for the highest slake for which a people eyer coat aided. You are striving to get back to our prostrate State the inestimable blessings, which can only follow orderly, and regulates liberty under free and goou government. We believe that these blessings cau only be secured by a complete change in the administration of our public affairs, State aud national. Be-lieviug this, our sympathies and our inter-ests lead us naturally and inevitably into al-liance with that great party, upon whose banners are inscribed the watchwords of Democracy—reform, good government., a hard money and home rule. '“You have endorsed and ratified the plat-form of the Democratic party accepted at St. Louis, aud in the planting of yourselves firmly on that, you look forward hopefully and confidently to victory, which you will not only share, but to which you will have contributed. The platform which you have adopted here, is so catholic in its spirit, so strong in its foundation, so broad in its con-struetion, that every man in South Carolina, who honestly ties'res reform, cau find room to stand upon it With such a platform, when the citizens of all parties and races can stand assured of equal rights and full protection, you eau surely bring back to our destucted State the great blessings of good government.

Whkelock Grange, No, 960. ) KECHi,Leon Co., Aug 3, 1875. J Ed. Examiner and Patron: Your valuable paper makes its regular visits to our place, and is welcomed by the members of our Grange, as a most substantial friend of our noble Order. Our Grange has been growing steadily in num-bers and interest since its organiza-tion, and we now number fifty-nine members, headed by one of the best Masters in the State, who is both practically and theoretically a first class Granger. Our Lecturer Bro. R. Pate, is always to be found iu his place, dispensing to the Grange the best information to be obtained from the first periodicals of the day, together with good advice for which his long experience has qnali-fied him. Our other officers and members perform their duties Well in their respective places. We are located on Wheelock Creek, eight miles from Keechi sta-tion and about the same distance from the new town of Buffalo. The valley of the Wheelock is considered one of the finest farm-ing localities in the State, eveu in the very dry year two years ago, all our leading farmers had a surplus. Our Worthy Master, E J. Oden, made that year, one and one-third bales of cotton to the acre. And Brother T. J. Oden, often makes 60 bushels of corn so the acre The Messrs. Oden are engaged iu the milling business, and are noted for large bushels when selling, as well as for low prices in time of scarcity; they having sold their corn for one dollar per bushel when otli-er mills were charging one dollar and fifty cents and two dollars per bushel. They have two cotton gins running by water power and a horse power for dry weather; also, a sor-ghum mill and evaporator, and manufacture an excellent article of sirup. Our society is good, we have a school, a thriving Sunday school, and regular preaching. To persons looking for a home, I would call at-tention to the valley of the Whee-lock. Come and look at our land, and get acquainted with our people. You can get first-class uplands, un-improved, or improved, or bottom lands on the healthiest creek in America at a reasonable price. Fraternally, •Tames H. Berry, Secretary. Hancock and Hooker, the two great fighting generals of the war, are for Tilden and Hen-drieks. Dix and Garfield, two great soldiers of fortune, who stand con-victed by a report of a Republican investigating committee of a Repub-lican Congress of taking Credit Mo-belier, are for Hayes and Wheeler, which two are the “boys in blue’ ’ most likely to follow in this cam-paign?— Rochester Union. Gen. B. L. Bonneville, of Fort Smith, Ark., is the oldest officer in the United States army. He is 80 years of age. He graduated from West Point in 1815, served in the earlier Indian wars, was in every great battle in Mexico, and during the rebellion, had command of Bur-me, my sole effort shall be to restore our ton Barracks, St. Louis. Austin, Texas, July 27, 1876. Mr. Wm. J. Eicholz, Colettovllle, Victoria County, Texas. Dear Sir and Brother.—In the Examiner of the 25 inst., I see some resolutions from Steiner Grange, No. 1140, in relation to the estab-lishing of a German Grange paper at some point, for the dissemina-tion of Grange intelligence among the farmers of tl > State, of that portion of our population who hail from the Fatherland, and devoted to agriculture and horticulture. Such an object and purpose is praiseworthy and practicable, and merits the very best efforts of all your people, whether memhers of the Order or not. It not members, they then have the advantage of a paper under the guidance and con-trol of the largest agricultural as-sociation ever known to the world. The Order of Patrons of Hus-bandrv is a grand organization rev-olutiomzing not only agriculture, but the public sentiment of the na-tion, and are introducing new thoughts aud ideas into the public mind. It is giving dignity to the farm-era of our country and honoring their occupation, and to that occu-pation no people are more devoted than our noble German farmer. They are developing the resources of our rich lands and demoustrat-ing i lie adaptability of our soil and climate to a diversified agriculture. An organization that affords such facilities should be commended by every means and in every way pos-sible to the favorable consideration of the agriculturists of the coun-try. I am glad to see this movement on the part of my German brethren, and sincerely hope, that it will be pushed, with unrelaxed energy, to a final consumation. I am also hap-py to see the interest manifested by the German farmers in this great State, in this grand movement, and trust it will be an instrumentality in bringing about a social, moral, in-tellectual, and material reformation in that class of our population, to which its great efforts are devoted. Let unremitting effort guide your course in this matter, and may it be crowned with satisfactory sue-cess. Yours truly, Wm. W. Lang.
