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. I 9 • 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 quotations Of prices by Mr hi oh to be governed- tf 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 that “Agents may learn some thing greatly to their advantage,” and obtain specimens and full particulars by addressing Wood’s Literary and Art Agency, Newbnigh, N. Y. 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.

'lmm WoT 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.
