BOLD ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY
ROBBERY.
On Wednesday night of last week,
Dr. C uari.es A. W. Bostick, while re-
turning from a professional visit, was
stopped by a sudden cry of '“halt ■ in a
dark and nat*>w defile, near llyne's
mill, in this county. A man whose
complexion could uot be distinguished
in the darkness, stepped from ambush*
by the roadside, placed himself in front
of the horse, taking hold, with both
hands, of the bridle. “You are a Geor
gia Democrat,” said the highwayman,
betraying excitement in his tremulous
voice. “I am,” responded the Doctor.
“And I,” said bis interlocutor, “am a
South Carolina Radical. Have you
any money ?” “Yes, and something
else, beside,” answered Dr. Bostick,
drawing a revolver. Apprehending an
attack from the rear, or the thick
growth on either side, he glanced rap
idly in these directions, and then leaned
forward and to the right to get aim at
his assailant, who. had hitherto Sought
protection by keeping the horse between
himself and the Doctor. At,this mo
ment the villain sprung into the bustie.%
the Doctor’s bullet following him, but
probably without effect. W hether he
had confederates tr not is unknown,
but as he escaped, he said, “lie is not
tlie man.” AVc are inclined to believe
that robbery and assassinat ion were the
original purposes of the party, but that
his, or their, courage failed at the criti
cal moment. W c believe it requires
tar more physical courage to make a
bold, successful highwayman tliau to go
into a battle. A story is told of afa
nious Field Marshal of France, who ex
pressed this belief at one of the brilliant
soirees, so fashionable in Paris during
the time of the Republic. Among the
officers prescut was one who ridiculed
the idea. To the surprise and amaze
ment of all, the old Marshal said, "l
have tried both ;” and proceeded to re
late how. long years before, fired by re
venge and passion, lie had resolved to
take the life of a rival. Familiar with
his habits, and knowing tliat a road to
bis villa lay through a lonely pass, lie
there, in disgmve, concealed himself to
execute his deadly purpose. Rut "alone
with Ron and the sentinel stars, his
imagination began to create an “army
© v—
of fears.” until the silence became so
terrible that be tied in wild dismay and
lioiror strickeh from the scene of his
intended murder.
With the first winter month fold
weather seems really to have set in.
■i ■ —-
We regret to learn of the sudden
death of Mr. Miles F. Biiack, from
appoplexy, which occurred last week.
Cur Off. —Owing to the very un
favorable weather of the past six or
eight weeks our winter fruit supply has
been materially damaged, if not en
tirely cut off.
Preaching. — There will be preach
ing to-morrow, morning and evening,
at the Methodist, church. Rev. N. B.
Ousi.ev, Pastor. Sunday School at
half past three o’clock, p. in.
The First. —As Washington was
‘first in war,” etc., so Muj. Wm. A.
Wilkins was the “first to reduce the
prices of food and raiment, first to'
bring flour to town by the car-load,’
and first to remember to present the
editor with the firzt sack from that first
car-load—for which we tender our sin
cere thanks, assuring the Major that it
shall not only be fine to the taste, but
‘lgilt-edged” to our memory, also.

A Proposition. —From our country
subscribers, who have heretofore “found
it difficult to get money,’? we propose
to accept, in payment for subscriptions,
either corn, peas, potatoes, poultry,
hides, or anything else that is “eatable
or saleable.” And we make the propo
sition a request; aud surely you cannot,
fail to comply with such terms of settle
ment. In another column you will find

Death of an Oi.u Citizen.—Mr.
Martin Ooprek, an old and respected
oitizen of this county, died last week,
after a short but severe illness, aged
about o*2 years. Mr. Godude bad been
Magistrate in his District (the GBth),
for sixteen or eighteen years, and was
postmaster for many years before and
during the war. Ho leaves a large
family to mourn their lost.
A Commendable Policy. Every
honorable tradesman is obliged to suffer
at the hands of his dishonest competi
tors, just as the word of a truthful man
must prtsVat a discount, because of the
untruthfulness of his fellows. Hence
the importance of so modifying our
whole system of commercial intercourse
as to cxclud J the operations of every
species of rascality. As an initiary
step In this direction, we are pleased to
note that S. S. Wood & Cos., propose to
conduct their Literary and Art Agency
business so as to please and thoroughly
satisfy their patrons, by requiring their
agents, Ist, not to represent their goods
for what they are not; 2d, not to col
lect the nniouut until the articles have
been delivered, and Ud. so to conduct
the business that there shall not be an
occasion for reasonable complaint. Tin y
also agree “to refuud the price of all
articles which shall for any reason what
ever, be returned iu good order wi'hiu
sixty days of the date of their receipt.
Messrs. Wood & Cos., also the publish
ers of Wood's Household Magazine, (es
tablished in 1807,) have favored us with
a copy of their Agent’s Prospectus and
Illustrated 1 Catalogue, from which we

LETTER FROM JOHN F. LAWSON.
Ul'i:k£,'Piu, IS7-.
Mr. Jas. K Frost, Editor Expositor :
I regret basing, at last, compelled to,
:i-k the favor of you, to publish a short
article. Ever unwilling to appear iu the
newspapers, I especially desired to l.avo
nothing to say in reference to.the late
election held in this county for Gover
nor, and members of the Lower House
of the General Assembly.
At the time the Republican Party
nominated their ticket, I was eoiiliucd
to my home, twelve miles from Waynes
boro,' severely afflicted, and did not get
two hundred yards from my house until
two days before the electiou came off.
Indeed, I was iu so much pain during
the time, I could take no interest iu the
election, and eared but little about it.
All the candidates Tunning, I consider
ed Democrats and all compe-
tent inen ; so far as the Jigislature was
concerned ; aud mattered little who was
elected.
I was nominated by the Republican,
party, without my request, knowledge
or consent; and informed, that 1 would
be voted for whether I desired it or not
—that my polities were known, and they
did not ask me to chauge them —that
their only desire was to have good and
true meu to represent them, no matter
to what party they belonged. I wrote
nothing about the matter, because I con
sidered it unnecessary. You announced
iu your paper, at the time, that 1 declined
the nomination, ami / did not dcuy the
sta euaent, nor did any one do it for me—
so it was plain I was au involuntary can
didate.
And it was thus, Mr. Editor, I be
came a candidate to the Legislature at
the late election, and voted for accord
ingly. I would not be understood as
apologizing for it, as every man has the
right to bo voted for, and to vote for any
one he pleases. Although the idea seems
to be obtaining that the “ nominated
ticket” must be elected—and any man
who is so unfortunate as to find himself
oppos 1 thereto; whether by his own
contrivance, <jr otherwise, subjects him
self to insult aud contumely, if he dares
to say that he believes there was un
fairness tu the election. Is this a tree
country wheu such a state of things ex
ist? That, no matter, how palpable
fraud aud corruption may appear, so
plain, in fact, that, every unbiassed and
intelligent eit’zeu sees it, and mtyiy of
them say so ; yet one aflected by it mus'; j
keep his mouth shut, uuder tlio penalty
of being at least publicly insulted 7
1 have not mentioned these things j
through a spirit of complaint, but iu
self-defense. L was told, it 1 said the,
election was carried by fraud, I was a
d —d liar. Pretty hard language; but
sometim a prudui.ee is the lit (ter pat t
of valor, and I thought this was one of
the times, so I had to take it, or do
what I have prayed God for the last
25 years to save me front. Hut why so
much concern about the matter? I
don’t believe 1 would tell a wilful lie
for the presidency of the world, much
less for the insignificant and unthankful
position of representative to the Lcgis
j lature. What satisfaction can the at
tainment of any object be to a man if
i his conscience lashes him for it. I
would uot hone-ilyliave an Office if it had
to be obtained by deception and fraud.
I should feel that 1 was appropriating
to my uso something that belonged to
someone else. 1 might as well take
another’s money, n* and apply it to tny
own use. And, T apprehend, the sin is
just as great if you plot for another, and
by your scheming succeed in enabling
him to take advantage ot his neighbor.
I have not charged fraud upon any
individual manager of the late election.
I have heard the names of but few who
acted us such ; and some of them I could
not be induced to believe would beguilty
of such an act; or tolerate the idea for
a moment, of being in any manner con
nected, knowingly, therewith. Others',
doubtless, regarded it merely as a smart
trick, that it might be said, as the At
lanta Constitution exclaims—“it is sur
prising how many of five negroes voted
the Democratic ticket,” when they were
almost unanimous in their determina
tion to vote the Republican.
It is sought to stigmatize mo as a
Radical, because 1 suppose the colored
people voted for uie. If so, and the act
of voting is so potent as to make a man
a radical, what effect must the voting
have upon those gentlemen in this
county, wlio so recently got the benefit
of colored votes sufficient to give them
a majority just about Oqual to the entire
vote of the County ?
In the contest which resulted in the
election of Mr. Lincoln, President, I
voted for Judge Douglas, I regarded
the candidacy of Mr. Breckcuridgo as
reckless, and calculated, if not intended
to “precipitate the cotton States into
revolution,” the end of which no man
could then seoj but which, wc now all
see and feel. I wa- then; and ever have
been since a Conservative Democrat,
aud have never voted any but a Demo
cratic ticket iu my life, except for one
County officer. At the last election, l
voted for Gov. Smi'h and Mr. Gibson ;
and yet, forsooth, for uttering a word iu
condemnation of what any just and
Christian man must consider a violation
of law, justice aid good morals, T mu-t
be Ostracised—proscribed, and a spirit
of persecution intolerant and vindictive
engendered against me. Eveil my near
est neighbors are advised to cut my ac
quaintance ; and other modes resorted
to in order to degrade me in the estima
tion of those who have known me all of
their lives. What can be more ungrate
ful to a trusting aud sincere nature than
to fi id lifs early associations forgotten;
friendships, formed when the heart was
free from the bias of selfish interest, dis
rupted ; and the soul, warm, generous,
confiding, now cold, selfish and distant ‘t
There are some gentlemen ui the county
whom I have known all their lives, aud
if I ever did, or attempted to do oue of
them an injustice or injury, I do uot
uqw remember it. When they were
candidates for office, I supported them
j cheerfully, aud rejoiced iu their success
Rut how much have sonic of them re-
. . ...
quited me ? I believe they will do me
the just ice to say they have never known
mo io be other than what I professed.
But are they not even now giving aid
and countenance to au attempt to de
grade me in the community? No, fur they
are bouorable men, paragons of purity,
exemplars worthy to be canonized—
whose dicta are the royal statutes, and
whose behests must be obeyed. But
why this war upou me? Fear of some,
thing lurks somewhere. Why abuse a
man because he is conservative ? I
honestly believe nearly eVtry colored
vote in the county, at the next State
election, through the influence of comer- ,
' int/ee vhite men can be cast for tiie Do- )
mocratio party. At the lato election,
through the influence of Mr. Wimberly,
they nominated none but Democrats.
This it truth. Now, iu soberness and
' reason, why attempt* to drive every con
servative man into a position he does
not wish to occupy ?
You cannot carry an election without
1 the colored vote. Is it more hmmlU#
( to obtain it by foul than by fair means?
I it a disgraceful condescension to con
ciliate it ? I have no doubt a majority
of the white people in county qrp
I conservative upon this subject, but they
I seem to bo afraid to let it be known.
Why should they bo afraid ? One por
tion of the people have no right to dic
tate to the other how they shall act in
that respect. Suppose a few do abuso
you for keeping company with Jesse
Wimberly, nnd fill the country with
their abusive tirades for being seen
talking or walking or riding with him?
Why, is it not a great assumption, (to
say nothing of the spirit of tyranny
manifest in it) that one man or set of
men should dictate who another shall
associate with ? Or that a man shall
shun another because lie differs with
him in politics? Why, our Saviour
went with the Devil and suffered him to
talk to him for forty days and nights,
and we have no account of his being
injured by it, save that he “was an hun
gered.” lie is a weftk and pitiable
indeed, who cannot talk, walk
or ride with another without becoming
contaminated by him; and he is weak
er aud more pitiable who is afraid to be
seen with him lest some pious Jehu,
should take him to be one of the Ahab
family. John F. Lawson.
A- Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun writes, “ There is much
more confidence here in Liberal circles
of securing tbc electoral vote of Illinois
for Greeley tbao any other Western
State, except Missouri nnd Indiana. The
advices from there are to the effect that
if a full Democratic vote can be relied
upon, the Liberal defection is great
enough, especially among the Germaus,
to overcome the tremendous majority
which Grant had iu 1808. It is con
sidered certain that whichever way the
State may go in the Presidential issue,
Trumbull will be returned to the
Sena to. as the Republican majorities
will be almost confined to a few popu
lous northern counties.

WE once more earnestly (Solicit the stteo
lion of ottr people to the enterprise fnr
the erection of u monument in honor of the
Confederate Dead ot Georgia and others who
were killed ot died on Georgia soil. The time
fur the distribution is rapidly approaching.
It w ill take place in this city on the 4th of
December next, Deo Volente. There will
positively lie rto postponement. All sale*
will stop on the 20th of November. The
late of ttiis effort will be decided then. On#
1 people will exhibit their gratitude for the
i bloody sacrifices of their brave defenders,
|or exhibit to the world their cold indiffer
ence. They will exhibit their pride or ils
loos; their appreciation of those who fell in
service, or a disregard of the noblest Mcri
’ lice which man can make for his own land,
his people and their homes.
We yet believe the spirits of the dead still
haunt the land they loved and for which
lhey died. We yet believe that those who
; live in these haunts of love will substantially
' prove their devotion to the dead “Boldiers
iu Gray." Hundreds, yea thousands upon
thousands, will wish to become shareholders
in the tribute to their fame between now and
the 20tii of November. We most respect
fully request them to reflect. Those thous
ands of names thrown upon us ai the last
moment may so overwhelm us as to make it
impossible to prepare all of their certificates,
record their names, mail them and prepare
the numbers for the drawing on the 4tb of
December. Hence much money may be
necessarily returned, to the detriment of the
cause nnd their disappointment in the
chances at the distribution of the prize*.
Let those, then, who have the means nrd
intend to contribute do so at once. If some
are not ready and must wait, let their con
tributions come as soon as they are able to
make them to the Agents iu their locality,
or to this office.
Have no fears of trickery, or fraud, or
speculation. Whatever may have b*pi>ened
in other schemes or sections, we have au or
ganized Assoctatiou, consisting of some of
<mr best citizens. An expose will be made
of all that has been and will be done in con
nection with this eriteiprise. All will be
fair ami honoiabie.
If all the tickets shall be sold, the amount
to be distributed will be in currency, one
hundred and thirty-one thousand dollars;
in real estate, ninety-nine thousand dollars ;
in cotton, twenty thousand dollars, making
a grand total of two hundred aud fifty thou
sand dollars.
If all the tickets are not sold the amount
ieeelved(after deducting the i>ortion allotted
to the Monument, the commissions of the
Agents, and the sum required to defray the
necessary expenses), will be distributed
among the shareholders. The precedence
in this latter case will be given—Ist, to the
1,744 prizes in currency; 2d, to the real
estate; fid, to the cotton.
We are pleased to state that expenses
have been much diminished by the liberality
ot a per ion of the newspapers, and the
boundless assistance rendered us free of
charge by the Southern Express C rnpar.y
of this city.
Should any who have made, or may make,
voluntary donations to any amount, desire
to exchange their special tickets for others
which furnish chances iu the drawing, we
or our Agents, in this or other States, will
cheerfully comply with their wishes.
All orders promptly attended to.
