We had a week or two ago Austin and Byhalia, Mississippi, ami and now a war of races Is In progress at Lancaster, and there have heen two battles In South Carolina one at Georgetown and one in Barnwell lounty. The negroes of the whole State are armed and defi ant, and are led forward to plunder and murder by a set of organized brigands, With Gov.

Moses at the head. The whlto people have been plundered and inur dered and overrun until patienue has ceased to be a virtue, and they have at last determined to try the virtue of breech loaders in the effort to relievo themselves of the knaves and hirelings who have so long oppressed, taxed and bullied them. At Georgetown even the negro women ware armed and the whole race was blood-thirsty but a few hundred guns In the hands of white men dispersed them. We fear the worst has not come. We shudder at the fate of the negro when it does.

tW Kev. M. M. Marshall, pastor of the rresby tcrlan church at Trenton, W. died In East Tennessee a few days ago, whither he had gone to recruit his fast declining health.

He was pastor of the church at Fayettevlllo for more than twenty years and has preached in Pulaski frequently. He was a preacher of great power, a man of superior attainments, and was a favorite Willi all who knew him well. A Threatened Conflict of Kaccs In Maury County. Tuesday night about 10 o'clock Mr. Ed.

Wilson, of Columbia, was drawn from his houso by unusual noises and demonstrations on his premises, and was attacked and twice shot by disguised negros. Having gone out with the expectation of meeting thieves he was also prepared lor the assassins, and thinks ho killed or mortally wounded one if not two of the would-be murder ers. Columbia was in arms all night and search Is being made for the assassins. It is feared serious results will follow. tW At last the Bcechcr-Tilton nasti-ncss is about to bo wound up at least so far as the I'lymoutli Church Committee is concerned.

Mr. Moulton's last statement Is very full, and to an outsider appears very crushing to Beecher. He goes into the minutest details and quotes in full all the letters and documents bearing on the case, yet the com-uiUUes final report pronounces Mr. Beecher iuuoccut. The whole thing from beginning to end is an ugly, filthy mess, and even If Mr.

Beecher bo guilty, fl'llton, Moulton and the committee have covered themselves with infamy. But the end is not yet. The whole thing will he re-opened before the courts. It' Beecher bo not guilty ho is the worst persecuted man on earth, and is unfortunate in having to combat a net-work of proof, positive and circumstantial, almost overwhelming, while ho has no rebutting proof save his own statement am that of rs. Til ton.

If he in guilty ho is certainly the most corrupt and un mitigated villain living. Our sympa thics have been with Beecher, but he is now undoubtedly under a. dark cloud, which we fear will never be rifted. The Statu 8enutorshlp For many years pa-st the Senator from this district has been chosen by mutual agreement, from the counties alternate ly. According to this arrangement, it 1-j thought by Lawrence people and eon-coded by many others, that Lawrence is entitled to the Senator this time.

Some of our people very justly claim that Giles having doubletho population of Lawrence and Wayne combined that Is, two-thirds of the entire population of tho district should be entitled to name tho Scautor two-thirds of the time. Butliwrenco claims that even conceding this, Uilcs has named the Senator two terms since she was con suited, and that therefore she is entitled to It this time. Many of our people arc disposed to yield to their claim, while others are not. It is Important that we should arrive at some understanding in the matter, so that there will bo only one democratic candidate in the tield Lawrence has already a good t-umlldate In the tlchl, and it might lw well for our county convention next Monday week to take some action in the matter either to recognize the Iwrcnee man or sug' gest some one else. THE WAU OF RACES.

Four Whites and Four.ltlucks Killed or "Wounded. Lancaster, Aug. 22. We are really having a terrible war between a party of whites and blacks, fighting 1ms been going on at intervals t-ineo lust Wednesday. Yesterday morning some negroes snot reu.

winch so exasperated the whites that a large par ty toon or the town this morning, and 11 ring had been kept up an evening. Aiie negroes are rorlitUMl in the house of Win. Sellers, and it is thought that two ol them were killed this evening and several wounded. The whites tired a house near Sellers' housit, wun mo intention 01 ouruing the negroes out, and it Is now burning. The whites now have the negros surrounded.

It is reported that Sellers has gone after more negroes. The whites have also sent for reinforcements. A perfect reign of terror exins and there is no law nor order here. The troops stationed here refuse to interfere, and the citizens tear tho town will be burned. A party of whites from Lincoln county are here with arms and ammunition.

A rcular engagement has just occurred between the trooiw and rioters. Tho troops were called to try to quell the riot, when they were fired on by both parties. Ihey returned tire and several were wouuded on both sides. Sellers' dwelling is now burning. On the part of the mtgroes the affair appeared to be strictly regarded as a WAR OF RACKS, for they not only fired on their adversaries, but shot at eveay white man they saw in any portion of the city.

Tho white men on the contrary allowed all icaceable negroes to pass unharmed. The result up to the 23d was four whites and four blacks killed and wounded. Martial law had bewn de i .7,. iu liu-i-ioua were iUii under una uencate trust committed tohi kocp-Anaa. i ing as Uoveruor of TeinusbMoe." OUB STATE CONVENTION.

Hon. Jas. I. lorter, of Henry the Nominee for Governor. Great Enthusiasm and Unpar alleled llarmony.

A Broad, Liberal, Unexception able Platform Adopted. Gov. Brown's Administration Endorsed Throughout. The late State Convention was said to be the largest, most harmonious, most determined, and most thoroughly rep resentative body that has assembled in stutA for fifteen or twenty years. It was presided over by that staunch old line Whig and venerable patriot, Hon.

Gus. A. Henry, of Montgomery, and t.h Convention was composed of the best material in the State men of brains, patriotism and "unswerving de votion to the principles of the great Democratic and Conservative party The speech of fhe venerable Chairman was sound to the core and replete wise suggestions and patriotic utterances. His ideas of financial policy were identical with those of Gov. Brown, and with the Governor insisted that the rate of taxes should bear direct reference to the great question of upholding the faith and credit of the State, and to make that as easy to the people as possible.

He said "Taxes, in a Republican or despotic Government, should never be higher than what is absolutely necessary to raise money enough to pay the public debt, sustain its credit, and carry on the Government economically administered for the benefit and in the interest of the people. These are the only legitimate objects of taxation. The citizen will willingly submit to them for the blessings the State bestows upon him in the protection it gives to him and his posterity, of life, liberty and property. The question then recurs, are we willing to submit to such a tax as will sustain and uphold our credit, and maintain a State Government economically administered? Or are we in favor of staggering on, keeping the word of promise to the ear and breaking it to tho hope, till at last we cap the climax by an open repudiation of our debts, thus sinking down in the embrace of an infamy we have invited, and which we cannot ex-nel or remidiate. Applause.

Tho present rate of taxes in Tennes see is forty cents on the on hundred dollars worth of property. There are only three Suites in the Union which pav less and all the rest greatly more. To pay the honest debts of the State, preserve its credit and carry on a home Government for the people, taxes must be levied and collected, nor can we refuse to bear our portion of the burthen without incurring thi penalty of dishonor curses if not loud, but deep, will cling to our skirts forever. No nation's life Is long enough to outlive the shame of repudiation." Ho also proposes some very healthy reforms which will meet with a hearty endorsement from tax-payers, as fol lows "I would reform every abuse, chastise every malpractise that is prevalent and 'aPply the knife to every ulcer that has grown-on the body politic. Nor would I stop here.

1 would reduce the enor mous expenses of the courts, and the salary of every officer In the State from the Governor down, and exact a rigid accountability from every revenue officer of the State. Whenever public men become more greedy of money than of honest fame more ambitious to fill their pockets than to fill the measures of their country' glo ry, the days of the ltepublic bered." He made a very forcible argument in favor of abolishing the protective tariff laws, and was especially eloquent in his denunciation of the civil rights bill, claiming that it was not only the "sum of villianies" in its infamous attempt to force social equality between the whites and blacks, but clearly unconstitutional, and never can be enforced so long as the Supremo Court remains the bulwark against the exercise of unauthorized and unconstitutional power on the part of Congress While the committee on platform and resolutions were consulting, Gen. W. Bate and Col. Jno.

F. House entertained the Convention the latter with one of the happiest and most appropriate ef forts of his life. The committee then reported and the Convention adopted the following Platform. "The Representatives of the Demo cratic and Conservative party of Ten nessee, in convention assembled, most cordially invite all good and true men who desire to Increase the prosperity of tho people of the Mate, and preserve her honor untarnished, to unite with us in following out the following princi ples, to-wit 1st. That all honest labor should be protected, and receive its just reward.

2. That the burden of government should be borne by the whole property of the country; that all assessments of taxes should be equal, uniform and just. and no linproiier discrimination should bo made against any species of property 3. That we favor a strict construction of the Constitution of the United States. and insist that no power should be exer cised by the General Government that is not clearly delegated or clearly implied in the necessary exercise of tho powers so delegated.

4. That we opiwse all nionopolie rings and combinations formed for the oppression of the people; that wc are for the abolition of all useless and un necessary offices for the proper reduction of all excessive salaries; for the most rigid economy in the administra- tion of the Stato Government; for all necessary reforms in the law so as to make its execution speedy, just and cer- tain ttiat we will bold the collectors of revenue to a strict accountability in the collection and application of said reve nue; we deplore the existence of all indebtedness, Federal, State, county and municipal; and demand that no mora taxes shall be laid upon the people than shall be found to be essentially necessary for tho support of the State Government administered on principles of the most rigid economy, and for the payment of its just debts and obligations and the preservation of its credit and honor untarnished, and are therefore op-posed to an Increase of taxation. 5. That we favor tho abolition of the present odious national banking system and the payment of the bonds of the government by issuance of its non-bearing interest notes according to the contract expressed and implied at the time of the creation of such obligations, and a repeal of the present oppressive Federal tariff, and the enactmert of a law solely with a view to the collection of the necessary revenue. C.

That we denounce all legislation that seeks to interfere with the individual right of the citizen to select his own associates, and particularly what is known as the supplementary Civil ltights Bill pending before the Federal Congress, as a palpable violation of the Constitution, intended to vex. harrass. oppress and degrade the people of the Southern States, and productive of untold social and iiolitical evils to both ra ces, and which we should resist by all legal and constitutional means in our power." Complimentary to Gov. Drown, Althougtf'the unanimous adoption of the above platform was a sufficient endorsement of Gov. Brown, as it embodies his views precisely, the Convention submitted the following suplemcntary resolution, which was also adopted "iVjioired, That his Excellency, John C.

Brown, having faithfully carried out the principles clearly set forth in the platforms upon which he was. twice nominated, is entitled to the gratitude of the people for the able and etlcient man- nr in lvhteli It a uot, rjLoiuieu tue nign The following candidates weie before the Convention Chancellor li.

D. Myers, of Maury, withdrew the name of Col. Bailey, and moved that Judge Porter be declared the unanimous choice of the Convention. This created the wildest excitement and enthusiasm, and the motion was adopted without a dissenting voice. Judge Porter was notified and accepted as fol lows "Mr.

J. D. C. Atkins, the Convention adjourned. OUR NEXT UOyfiBNOK.

A. Brief Sketch of Hon. Jas. l. Porter.

As Judge Porter Is now the figure-head of Tennessee Democracy, pur readers will be glad to read a brief sketch of his life, to see what kind of stuff is in him. Though a man of marked ability, Judge Porter has lived a somewhat retired and modest life, never thrusting himself forward, and coming to the front in public life only in obedience to the demands of the people around him, who saw and recognized his worth and ability. We therefore subjoin from the U. A. a brief, but interestifg sketch of his life James Davis Prter is now forty-five years oi age; tie was Dorn in l'aris.

Henry county, Tennessee, where he has ever since resided, ms father ur. lhos, K. Porter, was an eminent physician, one of the earliest settlers in llenry one o. me eiiii.cBL rttxC.B xicuiy county, and was a prominent citizen un- til his death. His mother was Miss Geraldine Horton, sister of the late Jo seph W.

Horton, of Nashville James D. 1'orter graduated at the Xashville University In 1840, and was always noted as a good scholar, and prompt and punctual in his classes, and a leader in the debating society. Though a hard student he was a genial, jovial school-fellow, and an active participator in all boyish sports He studied law under James 1. Dun- hip at Paris, and then graduated in the law school at Lebanon. Locating at Paris, he married the daughter of Mr.

John Dunlap, of that place, and began the practice of his profession. He soon gained a high standing at the bar by the practice of those sterling virtues, Indus try and attention to business; and, though he possessed a strong will and great perseverance and determination, yet his mild manners and his being, un der all circumstances, a gentleman in the highest sense ot the term, he won friends of all the bar, and usually won his cases In the midst of a successful and pop ular practice, he was called out for the Legislature in 1859, and was elected to the House from the counties of Henry, Carroll, Gibson and Madison, and he served his constituents with great satis. faction to them, and was the author of the celebrated "Porter Itesolutions," which were immediately adopted by Kentucky and other Southern States These were passed by Tennessee when only three states had seceded When Tennessee decided tp cast her lot with the other Southern States, ilr. Porter at once volunteered, and was assigned soon after as Assistant Adjutant General to Gen. rank Gheathatn command as chief of stall', and he was with Gen.

Cheatham in the battles of Belmont and Shiloh. At Corinth he was prostrated by the disease which proved fatal to so many Confederates, and left the army for a brief period on sick leave. He soon resumed his duties, and was ever at his pest with Gen. Cheatham's command until the end of the war, performing all his duties and sharing in all the dangers which his hard-fighting com-mauder encountered. When the army had surrendered at Bentonville, North Carolina, and had gone to Salisbury to draw their last rations, a South Carolina Major at the head of a mob of six or seven hundred soldiers marched up to sack the commissary storehouse.

Gen. Cheatham perceived the movement, and calling Col. Porter to his aid, they two unaided, rushed in front of the mob, and by their determined stand saved the supplies, drove back the marauders, and prevented the suffering which would have ensued to the Western troops had the stores been robbed. Gen. Cheatham, in his emphatic way, having throttled and thumped the Major who had led the mob.

Col. Porter had the unlimited confi donee of his superior and fellow-otlieers and discharged the arduous duties of Assistant Adjutant General for four years with the greatest ability and promptness, and received the highest commenuaiions irom General Cheatham as a courteous and chivalrous gentleman, an able and trusty officer, as a gallant soldier in the field, and a sagacious counsellor in cam p. Col. Porter had three brothers in the Confederate service one was killed, and nis Drotner, japt. iios.

11. 1'orter, an officer in the old United States navy. greatly distinguished himself. Upon tue oreaKing out oi tue war he was on the Pacifiu, but resigned and made a hair-breadth escape into the Confederacy, where he was at once assigned to the Mike Burns Battery, which he ren- I tiered famous in the battles at Fort Don- elson, at which place he was desperately wounded and brousrht to Nashville. Capt.

Porter recovered and soon had charge of another fighting battery, when he was a second time severely wounded, and upon his recovery was assigned to the Confederate cruiser Florida, as first lieutenant and executive officer under Capt Matfit, and he was captured ou board of the Florida when she was out of the port of Bahia, Brazil. 101. l-oricr on his way home from Xorth Carolina after the surrender with his side arms and parole, was arrested near Knox vine aim carried to that poiut where he was robbed, disarmed, and was. by Gen. Stouemau's order, thrown into prison in violation oi the terms of the surrender.

Upon bis release from prison. Col. 1'orter returned home and resumed the practice of law with great success, and in 1870 he was elected, without opposition, to the constitutional convention where his methodical business habits, his sound judgment and legal and legislative experience caused him to make his mark and enabled him to render valuable service in the formation of the new constitution. The next year alter the convention, by the wiih of the bar, Col. Porter was Bloc ted by au overwhelming majority, Judge of the Twelfth Judicial District, and discharged the duties with great credit, faithfulness and justice, nntil his resignation in February, 1874.

Judge Sorter is a nne specimen oi those splendid physical features for which Tennessee is so famous, lie is over six feet in height, well built and weighs about 170 pounds, lie nas a large, massive, well-formed head, with high broad forehead, with marks of strong intellect anu plenty oi ummg power, nis hair is dark but slightly grizzled, his eyes are a clear bluish-grey, deep set. He has a massive jaw with a firm lip, denoting nrmness ana uetermi- nation. Judge Porter's career has been notea for gieat industry, sterling integrity and close attention to business, neglecting nothing that he undertook to do, and as a conseouence he has been uni formly successful in all his undertakings. His superior education, ms strong prac tlcal everyday common sense, his cor rect knowledge of human nature, and his amiable temper, have made him uni versally popular. Judge rotter is known, too.

to possess both moral and physical courage, ana is not airaiu oi men. mobs or rings. He ia a close rea- sonor and a good debater, ana will car ry the flag ot the Democracy triumph antly through the canvass.

The table also shows thst our mIm FY. CKKI THOSE OF ASY OTHER COMPANY, for the period named, by the number of 11 3,25 1 MACHINES, or nearly double those of any other Company.

It may be further stated that the sales ol 1S78, aa compared with those of lsfi. relatively larger increase, beyond the sales of other makers than of any other year. For instance, in 1S72 we sold 45.0ot) mnr Machines than any other Company, whereas. in 1:78, the sales were 113,251 Machines in Excess of Oai Highrst Competitor. These figures are all the more remirlr.KlA for the reason that the sales of the Companies in 1S78 are LESS THAI llltIK SALES IN 1872; whereas, as has been shown.

Ol'rt SALES HAVE LARGELY INCREASED. The account of aales is trom tworn returns made to the owners of the Sewing Machine Fatenta.
