The school board, to a man, very much regrets Prof. Atkins’ resignation and is willing to give his price as w salary if he will remain. Mr.’Ki Howard and Trustee Clement are Ikmong the foremost members and earnest workers in Bev. Millerfs ohuroh.

Elder Blackson was nearly 78 years of age, had been a minister of the gospel 55 years, during which time he traveled extensively and setrvCd very acceptably several im portant charges both north and sduth. He was author of a book of hdte, somewhat on the order of Btmyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, titled “The Kingdom of Light and Dark ness.” He also wrote several ballads and poems which possessed literary merit as well as deep spiritual fer vor. A more extended biography will appear later.

C GENERAL WADE HAMPTON’S CONVERSION. They say that politics makes strange bedfellows; and when, nine teen years ago, General Wade Hamp ton led the conspiracy which drove the Negr6es out of power Jn the State of South Carolina and took part in the legislation which eliminated the Negro as a race being a factor in the suffrage of that State, he could not have imagined that he was creat ing a political revolution, which by its tyrannous methods would react upon himself and his friends, drive them out of power and compel them to seek the fellowship and aid oi those whom he had so ruthlessly crushed. But this has Come to pass in less than twenty years. He- represented the wealthy aristocratic planters of South Carolina, who had for a hund red years, with the brief exception of the period of Republican role, held all its offices, and who looked down upon all poor tr?sh, white or black, as made only to be ruled. But there was arosued a new spirit among the white people of South Carolina, the product of the new liberty and of the destruction of slavery. The poor white people in the northen part of the State and among the hills, who represent the large marjority of its population, found a leader in Governor Tillman and a taking platform. They were ignorant, easily led, but full of enthusiasm; and when they were told that the old Bourbons had ruled them and crushed them long enongh, they asserted their rights and took possession of the party and of the Government of the State, remanding Senators Hampton and Butler to pri vate life and laughing at their claims to continuance in office either on account of theirpatrician quality or their Confederate service. The young men and the new men now rule the Democratic Party in the State and hold the representation in both Houses of Congress. They have corrected some abuses; they have rcdcucd expenses; they have reorganized the system of ednea tion, and they have incurred the bit ter hatred of the old aristocracy. . Being in power they wish to keep in power, and they dread the Negro v^te, and have determined to destroy it by means ot the provisions of s new constitution. They secured for this purpose the consent of a certain number of the Bourbons, but by no means all of them. The leading Bour bons refused to he conciliated oh a White Rule platform; and at last General Hampton, than whom no man stands higher, has written a lab* ter to the Spartanburg Herald, in which he expresses his deep mortifi cation at the condition of his native State and advises the Conservatives to refuse to go into any compromise, but to nominate the best men they can find, no matter of what name, a ho would strive to make a good Constitution, which shall be referred to the people for ratification and in all cases to set their feces a gainst all frauds in elections. With out mincing words he invites the co operation of Negro Republicans. He says: “I have no fear of Negro domina tion—a cry used only to arouse* race prejudices and to put the coming convention under control of the ring which now dominates our State. Ih»^iegroc8 hare acted of late with moderation and liberality, and if we meet them in the same spirit they have shown they will aid in selecting good representatives for the conven tion. I, for one, am willing to trust them, and they ask only the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitu tion of the United States and that of our own State." tkia isan eYtranrrlinarv state-1 OSfKJN NOTES—NEGRO DEPARTMENT.
