York Spirit of the Time*, is about to commence a |,
new weekly Sporting and Literary paper ill New n
York. It will be of the name size and character as ''
the old paper, and a brilliant corps of contributors .j
and corres|iondeuts has already been secured. i(
An experience of twenty-six years has made Mr. '1
Porter thoroughly conversant with sporting intelli '

all subjects connected therewith. Those who wish \
to keep posted upon the turf, au<l kindred subjects, a

THE ARMY BILL PASSED.
We fiud the following account of the passage of
the Army Appropriation ltill on the 3 Ut ult. in
tbo "Ion" correspondence of the Baltimore Sun:
"The IIousc yielded gradually Hud gracefully to
the ueceeaity ol pausing the army bill. Tbo Senate,
droppng all projects of coinprtimise, bud
agreed, u|>on consubaiion on Friday, not to consent
to the Icrniin lion of the session until tbo army
bill should be The ami-proviso Senators,
both democrats and wbigs, bad mutually pledged
themselves to tfia course, and u|s>n the suggestion,
it is said, of Mr Hell, of Tentiosace. The determination
of tin- Se nate had its effect upon the House.
''Ht-s'des this,nurlvT"falswUfr lit?"l arrived,
iml lutil clinnged the relative numbers of the two
purlieu. Twenty of the absei tees were paired off.
Duly six nieinb.'is, unpairetl, wo re absent, mid tlieso
were equally divided on the (question. Tin* House
ittemptcd t>> nave the first clause of the proviso,
which prohibits the employment of the army in uid
?f the enforcement of uiiy law heretofore enacted
>y the Kaunas Isgisltittiro. They first passed the
liill with thin modilhd proviso, and having yielded
jo much, they finally yielded the whole. Thus the
irmy appropriation hill* was saved by a majority of
our?just the same number by which it would
lave fie. n s iveil at the close ol the first session, on
Monday, the ISili, had another hour or two renamed."
The South was entirely united, as were the noional
Xorthei n Democrats, upon the final voto of
101 to 97. Mi vms. Harrison, of Ohio, Tyson, of
i'eiiusjIvau'.t, and Iluvin and Whitney, of New
Pork, Americans, afc?o vottd lor the hill :ts it passed.
Oar impression is that this result was mainly
irottght about by the aetioti of the President in dis:ontitilling
work pertaining tlio army iu the arsc<nls,
armu. ics, and worksliips, and thus throwing
tut of employ, from the absence of uieaiis to pay
Item, I.a go numbers ol mechanics and operatives,
["his outside pressure was creating a clamor adverse
o the interests ot tbo Frcinonters, till even Ureccy,
whose advice cheered li s followers almost to
he point of disbanding the army, was forced to ltcecch
the sjK-u.ly eHaetincnt ol the law that would
tut bread into starving mouths at the North
jlutulil another similar attempt he made, we think
lie right screw can he touched to bring Northern
tatriolisin hack from *.? transcendental flight.
The Huston Times, in nn .vticle on the subject,
ays:
''Among the most iinnortsnt items in the Armv
supply I! II nrc those fur clothing and the armories. |
"or the former, mcrehnnts in New Kngland are
xlrnslvc contractor*. Hundreds of thousands of
lobars reach the New Kngland States annually in
eturn for the clothing which covers tlie backs of
ur Norther n soldiery. Hlankets, canvass for tents,
to., ?<bo enter largely into this branch of at my
upplics. Anil there is not a person in tin' maiiutoture
of cotton and woolen go-ais in the Mtistern
States hut has an interest in keeping open this rxritsirc
market for their labor?a market that is
ore pay, and in good round gold eagles, too.
"Those who have read the government ndverisemetila
soliciting proposals for the supply of this
escriptioti of goods for the army will have formed
nme idea of the magnitude of the business, and of
lie value it is to New Kttgland people. Scarcely
blanket protects and warms a United States solicr
but ot New Knglawd manufacture?scarcely a
bread of cotton or woolen cloth worn by bint but
? of New Kttgland manufacture?and last, but not
ast, the making up of scarcely an article of rniicnt
ihat is worn by a United States soldier hut
as given employment to in iustrinus and worthy
ten and women in the New Kngland Slates. In
lie aggregate, the number of people in New Kngmd
employed in the making of garments alone is
mnonsc. For litis labor tliese people receive pay, <
not directly yet indirectly, froin tho IItilted States
'rensury, and the moment llic t nulls of that trenury
are closed, because Congress lias refused to
ass the usual supply bill, the incentive to and the
respective reward for their industry censes.
Vliere there is no money there is but little work ?
nd where there is neither work nor pay, distress,
ith its attendant evils, is sure to follow."

Town of Staunton?M'opulaiKtn?Otnecolent Intlitution*?A
Visit to thm Wtytr Cave.
As n matter of coarse, what pertains to the town
of Staunton must be local, and only interesting so
far as the reader may, from description given, heable
to generalise. Indeed, aside from natural
scenery, and the adaptation of architecture to special
localities, there is nothing remarkable about
this town. Mind must ever govern matter. And
when wo come to s|K-ak of the institutions, we may
Jtrl a deeper sympathy with the place. Imagine
yourself in n cur, llj'ng at llio rate of twenty miles
nu hour, silting at your window looking on mountain
grandeur. You arc told that you are approaching
Staunton. Not knowing from which side you
w.H get tlio best view, u shilling inclination comes
on. At List, your informer, as if intending to prepossess
you favorably, points out one of the best
buildings in the place?the Asylum for I)enf and
Dumb and the Dlind. This you see from the windows
on the light side o( the ear. Hut before you
urc quite satisfied looking at this s|X-cimeu of State
munificence, you are told in a hurried tone to look
at the Luuntic Asylum, tjuiekly to the other side
the ear you spring, and as you pass round n considerable
elevation, the whole view of a vast pile
of buildings imprcssis the mind. Tho eye lingering,
forgetful of the speed, a signal is given, and you
find yourself at the dc|>ot. Carpet-bag and stick
in hand, you make your exit now for the first time
to gel a good look at the town. Iieru is Staunton.
The usual yell of porters to get ynnr patronage to
the hotel they represent almost frets you, and
serves to direct your thoughts to the bnggags-rooni
for your tiunk. "All aboard," jou are quickly
borne o(f by a tiobic pair of grays, and if tho omnibus
is pretty well filled, you catch a nmile on the
lace of tho porter as he approaches ''Virginia Hotel,"
as much us to say "I've got em." A time
yielded to the confines of your room, with necessary
attention, you obey the call to the dining-room, I
whero you have assurances that Virginia is at j
home. All doubts thus removed, the evening funis ,
you strolling through the business pai l of the tow u- ;
As you advance you rise gradual slopes, and still \
walking further, you rise higher in that portion ol ]
me iowii inoro recently built uj?. Wltcu <ui tlie
highest point, you have only to turn round ami open
yjur eyes, to see one of the moat beautiful sceneries.
Here l ea around you, much iu the aluipc of
a horseshoe, the touu of Staunton, nu-1 beyond, iu
every direction, oval-topped inountaiiiN. And by
their deceptive influence on the eye, the town is
made to appear much condi used?almost na one
mass of buildings, exhibiting the varied furuiK of
architecture, with here and there steeples Mailing '
up, as if to vie witti the aurrouuding mountains in
cob-stint jWogrcMion*.
At the toe of the shoe, as it sonic lion-conforming
spirit had conic that way, n portion of the town (
ia bring huilt up in the direction of the western extension
of the railroad. Standing here with eyes i {
flood, as if taking pictures of the different points be- j
foro you, or having your own taken, the shrill |
sound of an approaching engine br?aks the charm, |
mid while yet the echoes and reverberations play (
along the valley, a strtum of smoke is seen rising
from behind some neighboring peak, the bellowing
of the engine ceases, and a moment is given you to
look upon the bird flight seeming s? II-piopeilcd
train, Once again the ear is luterruptcd, and then
all ia over. Turning llie eyes, a*, if to catch new (
ubjeeta of attention, the Town Clock reminds yon ;
of w hat you can scarcely believe. The mind, but
half satisfied with the sun-setting view, asks (or a j (
lingering here under the more feminise retleet <?n?
of the nt-aolilight smiles. The festivities of the so- ,
eial to-'', stored away in unnumbered kind remembrances,
and a strolling parly organixod, you again j
find yourself looking over now silent grand- ur. j
I touhly do you feel the position you occupy. And |
if, {tcrchancv, the evening ha* bhsscd you with t' e j j
fictjuaintn.icc of one of Virginia's lovely maidens ; (
or matrons, the ?up|>ort cho reviews lt< in your
arm ia a thousand times repaid hy lor picst-ncc '
Iu iho lawn, wlu-re taslu has incorporated aits and
cictiocs iu ratifying nature's dictates, the sympi j
thy of kindred minds unites the joyful party in the
observance of those more di l-cale entert.i uiin nls ICven
the le-?< r ruouild, raised hy the hand >>' tiegardener,
beautiful and beautifying, t!a in* its 110- . |
lice in contrast with the lords of earth. The grav- (
eled wulkn and ever-green terraces perform their
part in the records of the night, as by magic
charm jour steps glow short an I slo.rtci si.'.., uul )
you find yourself in iinrnrihly reverie*. Nothing'
luniks the stillness, but (lie beating of tlie heaits
thus absorbed in id! that is noble, ill all tin.: is
' !
heavenly. The reverberations of the ton 11 clock (
close the scene. Meditatively all retire, and you
liud yourself prepared for the repose of tenia uitig !
hours, conscious ol the growth *d the soul.

The lictH'Vnlclit Institution* of Staunton are just |
ly mlmire.1 liy all, ami e?ptc.illy are they ohjot ts of |
^tote pi i?lu in the estimation of \ rguhans. The
institution for the Deaf. I > amb and tin HI,ml. as bo- |
lore roninrketl, is first iruutily in vo w, ts you p.o
into the town Its KltlMillOll IS l|ellht.l?t of lilt IwWIl |
proper, with , i nipp . '1 "or irate ' m t?,
and is bmit on a pretty tin, oc- , : i a
!iuo view lo the traveler. It was opened for the
tccrptiou of pupil* in 1838, unJvr the inetrucl'oii
of Joseph D. Tjler. Tbo net oreatiug the institution
provided for u building nt an expense of $20,000,
and $10,000 aunuully for support. Slice
tlu-n, additional building* liavo been put up sutlicieut
for the department* of both classes, cciubiued
in one institution here, us in our own State. The
whole cost of the buildings and appointment*, including
steam and gas work*, is estimated at about
$50,000. The annual coat for support was over
$2.',000 for the last year. One hundred and six
pupils were in attendance at the close of the last
session?seventy one deaf and dumb und thirtylive
blind.
Dr. J. 0. M. Merillat, the pi vac tit principal, is ft
man of untiring energy, lie not only overlooks
the entire concern, but is engaged iu extending the
literature of the blind by panting new books, lie (
is of the riglyt tempera incut of mind lo be engaged
in such a work. Penetration of intellect, high
moral qualities, and bulliciciH enthusiasm conceit- 1
trnting ill a liberal education, he could be none
other then worthy of the trust and aid committed to
his care. All who arc engaged in the education of
the blind will be rejoiced to know, that the time is
uot far distant when an improved library may be
had. It being vacation at the time of our meeting,
and most of the pupils goiie, | had not opportunity
of examining fully the standard of education. But
judging from what I saw of the remaining pupils 1
and assistant (cachets, I conclude no fears may be ,
cu'.i rt.-lined in comparison with other institutions o'
the kind. '
The "Western Lunatic Asylum," situated in the
southeastern part of the town, and fronting the j
institution for Deaf, Dumb and Blind,-on another j
eminence, is certainly cqtial in architectural beauty,
and far transcends the latter in dimensions. The '
whole cstabl shnient, comprising a number of ,
buddings of different siz>s methodioally arranged, (
I repeat, is impressive. I have oo means at hand .
by which t<> s?'t down the cost of this estnbl shnient
to the State?should suppose over a hundred thousand
dollars. The amount for support of tlieasylum (
tins yeni is estimated at $47,500. Accord.ug to |
the List biennial report, 5110 patients had been pro- ' ,

THOSE IXTEKROnniUIKS AGAIN.
Mrur.i. I .ihtoks: If uuy thing was lacking n
tlio o!i.tin of circumstantial evidence to show Ilia
the objects ol the questions which wcro propouudet
to the candidates sonic -weeks n.:o was to bring u|
the College question with n v ew to my defeat, i
think that deficiency lias been supplied by the com
munienlion of "One of Many Voters," which tip
pcarcd in tiiu Carolina Spartan of thu 4th inst. Thii
uidivitlual, who it seems had "sow agency" in pro
pounding the above-mentioned questions, for the os
tensiblc objeet of disowning sueli a purpose, writei
(or procures to be written) and publishes the grow
attack on my pos'lioti Contained in the last Spar
tan. The most untural course for "One of Mall]
Vitcrs" to have taken, had ho desired simply t?
make a disclaimer as to his connection with tin
questions, would have been to have simply publish
ed the fact, without indulging in the inisrcprcsciita
lion he has, in reference to my speech last i>a!cs
day. Had he pursued this plan, I shnulJ have be
lieved that he at least was free from the charg<
which. I think, so justly lies against the intention
of tlmse interrogatories. But I cnuuot credit tin
(sincerity of hi* denial, .men it is accompanied will
matter unnecessary for his disclaimer, and caleu
latcd to hold inc out iu a disa Ivantageous light he
folo his roftdt rs.
''One ol Many Voters" rcc-ms at a loss to con
ecive "Slow the College question" could be used tc
injure me, when, as he alleges, i have declarer
lime after time, in my speeches, that "n/f the can
didutes occupied the same ground" on the Co 11 eg <
question as myself. I do not wonder at this ex
prcssioli of liis surprise. And when i state tha
no our of the candidates has ettr yet objected ti
my placing them on thr some ground icith myself
I think it will be diflieu'l for an honest man to con
eoivc how, under these circumstances, I hnppcnc.
to he singled out, in certain sections of the Mistriet
uid represented to be the only Candidate not it
fator of destroying the South Carolina College .

?ny "purpnse" of injuring me, should, ill tins satin
.'onimuiiicallon, in the gratuitous inforniatioii whicl
10 so oilioiously volunteered to give his readers ai
0 my priitiiin, w hile profess ng to give the subject!
a Ini*li I thought were of gr ater practical imp..r
inner than the College question?I say honest mei
sill wonder how such a man, professing such iu
ilijict. could have omitted the most important sub
eel ol all?a subject, too, which ho must aeknowl
dgo is, according to Ins own mode of measuring
lie of "Iraiisccn.laiit importance,'' because it inlolves
