Gordon Elected General of the United Confederates. The Confederate veterans have organized themselves into a grand army. , The meeting was held in New Orleans, June 10th. On that day the organization was completed by the adoption of a constitution and the election of Governor John B. Gordon as co mmanding general. So the general will cororpand in peace the soldiers lje led in war. The organization is named "United Confederate Veterans, and the letters "U. C. V," will soon be as familiar as household words. Governor Gordon received this morning official notice of his election as general, and a copy of constitution. The object and purposes of the order are sts.ted to be strictly social, literary, histor ical and benevolent. - ? - - i it will endeavor to uuice in a genenu federation all associates of Confederate veterans, soldiers and sailers xnow in existence, or may hereafter to be formed; to gather authentic data for an impartial history of the war between the States; to preserve relics or mementoes of the same; to cherish the ties of friendship that should exist among men who have shared common danger, common sufferings and privations; to care for the disabled, and extend a helping baud to the needy; to protect the widow and orphan; and to make and preserve a record of the .services of every member, and as far as possible those of comrades who have preceeded lis in eternity."

The meeting of the Teachers' Asso- ? iiatioo of South Caroling which be?an in this city yesterday, promises to je interesting and profitable, through-1 >ut. The pWiUflhjfiie; arranged con> ains topics of especial interest to the Profession, and each w ill be ably preented.* Aside from t he more formal jroceedings, the making of acquaintances, the interchange 'of views . >ased on different experiences, and he efforts to extend the usefulness of he association will form important natures of the meeting. In all their endeavors to improve , hemselves and elevate their 'calling, ;he teachers v. deserve the en:oorgement of ^hose who feel an in;erest in education. The purpose of he teachers in thus striving for higher standards and better methods is not a selfish one. The good to be accomplished is the good of the schools?the advantages to be gained ire those which accrue to the pupils. The teachers must find their reward jhiefly, if not wholly, in the consciousness of duty well done and in the benefits conferred on the children of the State. . The people of Columbia heartily welcome the teachers to the city. It is hoped that tbeir stay here may be throughout pleasant, as it must be profitable. The profession of teaching is one in which there are many difficulties and discouragements?some of them peculiar to South Carolina Despite these, the schools have constantly improved, mainly through thfe efforts of the teachers. The people of the State are not unmindful of this. ; Their difficulty lies in their lack of means. As the people become prosperous their contributions to-the scool will increase, so that we may look for better schools, longer terms and better rewards for the teachers. May that time soon come. Mr. Blaine Lcoking Old. Washington Letter to America. A member of tbe House said to me last night: " I met Secretary Blaine . since about a year ago. X saw hira just after be returned from Europe, and he was looking very well, paler certainly and whiter of hair than a few years ago, but alert and vigorous. I saw him yesterday and he seemed languid ; he impressed me as an old man. It seems to me that one year has made a good deal of difference in him/' I suggested that wrestling with the gentlemen who want to be ministers and consuls might be very wearing. My friend of the House of Representatives would not assent to that. "The officeseekers." he said, "never killed or seriously hurt any one yet?they may be a great bore; I have been in politics enoush to appreciate tbe fact that they are a bore. No, neither the office* seekers, nor his years, nor his physical condition explain why the Secretary is aging so fast.

Mr. Hugh Waddle walks up manfully and relieves the fair Arabella's pinin' by a smack which sounds like & three-year old drawing his hoof out of the mud.

V. L. Walt in Southern Christian Advocate. It may not be entirely nninterestng to the readers of the Advocate to lear something of a new sect that taa spang op in Samfcer and some of he adjoining conn ties. Some years igoamanby the name of Boyle, Woil fioon o Mothn^iot. And nhn fUU UOM WVA4 M UAV vuwv? IWWJ esided near Lynchburg, in Samter (oanty, conceived the idea of foan ring a new sect. His followers were irat called "True Light Baptists," >nt they are commonly known as 'Boyleites." They have spread ap K>th eidesjof Lynch's river through hunter, Darlington, Kershaw and Chesterfield counties, and perhaps arther, taking hold of the lowest and cost ignorant classes. It is not a arge denomination, and, thanks to be intelligence of oar land, never tan be; bat its followers arb very tnbborn in their belief, so tbat it is -lmost impossible to reclaim one of hem. Their most prominent and >opnlar doctrine is that it is an no MB /AM A *-\?AAAUAB (A t>A. HKPUUUttUJtJ KMU xui a poavuci iu *oleive pay for his work, and this closes heir ears to the efforts of the regnar ministry. They have no regular ok- isters, bnt claim that every mem>er of theft1 chnrch is the inspired of }od to interpret the Scriptures, thus caking everyone of both sexes miasters of the gospel It i9 not uncommon for women to preach among he^n. Another favorite dogma is hat* they constitute the only true oliowers of God, and that all other delomioations are heading straight for bedevil. They believe in immersion, of course; bat with this distinction, that t most be administered by one of heir communion to be 5 of any ivaiL Theyk^ct the Old TeetaisAoix.Tiir.1' >or lions/0* the New Testament as 4beir purpose, refecting any 5a8sages that are opposed to. their xoenli&r beliefs as uninspired.

I heard i man say not long since that he had >oce taught school in the neighbor* lood where they now claim the najority of the people as their adlerente, and that only two oat of the lirty pupils in his school knew their etters when they first came to him. Generally they will not permit a minster of the gospel to read the Scriptires or engage in prayer in theii looses; and if they concede that nuch to him, tbey laugh and talk rhile he prays, and pay no attention ffhat ever to him.

The Fall Hirer Herald says and, as we thing, says well: "When the New York World, with righteous indignation, declares that is monstrous to give pensions to millionaires and others who are either earning good wages or enjoying an abundance of this world's goods, it states a disagreeable truth in exceed- ] iogly mild language. The Herald agrees with its contemporary in sayA-l. lL.1 1L. -I 11 i. _ 1.1. i tog loai tuere auouiu ue a complete revision of the whole pension system. The plan of ibis change Is outlined by the World, which urges that every disabled end really needy veteran should have a sufficient pension to keep him decently, and to that end every mere, beggar, every man who has money or the capacity to earn it in sufficient amonnt for his support, should be stricken from the rolls When pensioners are able. to count their dollars by the millions it is abut time fSr the axe of reform to begio operations. Sentiment should be subordinated to public decency." Well, it would seem that any man who had served his country honorably ought to be above asking for a tax of the-women and children and laborers of the country to pnt pension money in his pocket, when be had an ampie means, of support or was ab.und* antly able to support himself. Southern veterans are showing their brave old fellow-soldiers of the Blae agood example in this matter. No man of sufficient means or sonnd health amoDGf them wants to take the small amount of peosioDS the Southern States can afford to gr&i from their disabled comrades in a necessitous oondition or ffcm their widows* Nobody North or Soath begrudges a necesjjjans Federal veteran a cent of th^lensron granted bim. Bat when it comes to taxing onr poor boys who are straggling bard to make both ends meet to bestow gratuities on well-to-do veterans of the Northern army it does look bard, and very hard, too.

A stay of proceedings pending an appeal was asked so that the receiver might not take possession until a decision of the main question shall fca made in the final oourt of resort. This motion was denied by Judge Barrett, and the defendants appealed from the decision of the Judge, both as to the main question and as to the stay of proceedings asked for. The recent decision of the New Ybrk Supreme Court relates only to the order touching the receirer in which it sustains Jodge Barrett's denial of stay of proceedings. i The decision of the General Term on the main question will possibly oot be rendered before October. Should the General Term affirm Judge Barrett's decision an appeal will be taken to the Court of Appeals, the final court resort in New York. Counsel for the State are oonfideut that Judge Barrett's decision will be confirmed by the courts above. Should this be the case, snitc will be broaght against all tho other Ne4r York corporations in the sngtf trust, and against other New York corpora tions that hate, merged in other trusts. Shoold thedeoision of the General Term foreshadow defeat in the court of final resort, it fa pre-, dieted that the trusts will endeavor to escape the punishment of its corporations by the assignment or trans* ferof its interests, just as the "Cotton Seed Oil foist attempted to avoid a decision in Louisiana by proeoriog the sale of its corporations in ite corpor* ; w ?
