" ^CAMI* OK INSTRUCTION.-We are pleased to M that Governor Magrath has decided to wert the military academies ot the State a camp of instruction, and tu conneribr, as >ils, all the young lad* of the State between ages ot tit teen a^d seventeen. This u a te measure. Parents are u ow, scattered ne longer dud schools for their young, and ehould not be allowed to run to weeds, military education of our boys is almost ouly sort of schooling neoessaryiin the pre kt circumstances of the country. It will be jil, if, at the same time, the boys be taught it ?cal agriculture, and should be set to so many hours ot the day ir* making >wn crops. This was the plan promised * euee of what was once the Naval School State; and Lu tfiis school hardy, well ftooys of fourteen were found as clever, Irile ,uud active as those ol greater years, he-way, we trust that this school has re? ed its operations. Capt. Aimar, we learn, one of his pupils, was carried off by the licRCH PLATE.-We now learn that the til plate restored by Sherman was not that |riuity Church, .tait belongs to St. Peter's, larleston. The rogues, still keep the plate ie former, unless, indeed, it shall h appear to that wagon, wholly laden with sd vcr, Hampton is said to have captured, with (spoils, in Iiis recent onslaught Upon Kii i . ' The Consolations of Loss. j A doggrelizing friend, looking os wofulas the i Knight of Lallauchn after his heating, has brought us a screed of consolations, which he administers_pro bono p?b??o through our me? dium. His head is right on the subject, no doubt, though rather full; but his heart is heavy, in spite of his own medicine, and his face four inches louger than bis wont: He has lost house and liquor; but laments over all the fate of his only pair of trowsers. The pair he wears is-a borrowed one, and like the road he has had ta travel-corduroy: I 'Midst great afflictions, small ones keep aloof !'Midst bombs and shells one's still musquito proof ; Once at the"hill-foot you can travel slower Once down the mountain you can get no lower. I While tumbling headlong you still found it j high- _ j No danger now of butting 'gainst the sky; I you're on the lev_l now, if not the square, And of still deeper failings need not lear. I Your home destroyed will cost, no more in paints, ! You'll ii?vc no troubh- ?o collect the rents ! Ko care to Inch, repair, iusure or keep, j And lind thc floor of earth exceeding cheap. I Your skiey roof tho linc winds ventilate, .Tho slurs mock candles in your dome of state; inure expense of gas or tjprrebeuo, And for your chamber bushes make the.screen. Cool brooklets yield you bathing tubs, and moss, When you would towel, leave you at no loss. Your.watch is gone! you cry; ?ind-even so, But the best washes still are made lo go; You've looked upon* it, neighbor, for the last time, And still have comfort-you have had youi past-time, . C. B. J?baro HOP, ESQ.-This gentleman, bro? ther of the Commissary-General of the Cou federate States, and' formerly a lawyer of iht Charleston bar, is reported to have been mur dered by the Yankees, somewhere ir. Lancastei District. His wife, it ia said, accompanied th? ?murderers in their Eastward progress. -- Meeta^, described as a notorious outlaw from the Dutch Fork, is reported to have beet hung by a scouting party, at Frog Leve? or Mopday last. We hear of too much outlawry now-a-da3"s, in half-abandon ed regions, not t< feel that strong examples are necessary for tin publie safety. The Cincinnati (Jazctte says that Andy John son was drunk al the inauguration ceremony and-before the imposing concourse assembled bellowed for half au hour an idiotic babble o; wind. % Foam: vf/s L'BUJTOI:MA'NCKS.-In a late speech tu his troops, Gen.

They were occasionally associated with other troops, but his own command never ex? ceeded five tuousaud. A comprehensive record J written with the sword. ; Jingles, which ?ately soared, now, since Con J gress has taxed coin twenty-five per cent., pay? able in kind, have taken to diving, and those ? who had many oj these bright birds, but a few daj-s ago, cannot persuade tnern now to take ap airing. Wc shall need to get Shermau's army back -again, if only to discover how the birds contrive to conceal themselves, aud where. * - GOLD.-We are l-dd, iu Augusta coiu is sold at thirty for one, which is simply thirty fold; while'here, in this place, which has nearly run its race, a mau 'will have the face, without blushing or grimace, to ask you cighty-?ol? for a single our ni gold! w ? ? ? - TORPEDOES AND JNEOKO bfasifEDje.-A body of i negroes, between thirty and toi ty, ou the Sa vaunnh Uiver, launched themselves upon a raft, heading for Yaukeedoouledoni in tavan nail.
