The Ice crop will be short this Summer. Terrible state of affairs in the Island of Cuba-war and pestilence. Wealthy Cuban familiet are leaving for the States. The Grecian bend has reached Califor. nia, but there it is called the Pacific slope. Brigham Young's seventy wivcs are quite indignant at the report that he is sick. A woman gouged out another woman's eye in Cincinnati last week, and was sned $2 for it. An Ohio farmer, aged 70 years having attempted to marry a girl of 16, his children had him arrested for insanity. Two men, in Dubois county, Ind., re 1's2tUy swapped wives, one paying the other three bushels of corn to boot.

In the Court of Common Pleas in Co lumbia on Monday last, representative Whipper, colored, appeared for Peggy Bolton, colored, charged with assault and battery upon a lady. What the result to Peggy, is not stated. The Phoenix says this is the first appearance of a colored lawyer in the Courts of this St ite. The Marion Star, however, says that J. J. Wright, a colored lawyer, hail ing from Beaufort, was in attendance at Court last week, and succeeded in con vieting two clients whom he defended, Unprecedented. We learn by the Edgefield Advertiser that the trial of Hillery Hardy and Lewis Freeman-two negroes-for the*aurder of Mrs. Elkins, terminated on Thursday in a mis-trial, the jury after three days attention, failing to agree upon a verdict, and on Friday to the astonishment and indignation of the whole community, the prisoners weie released from jail upon their own recognizance, by authority or Judge Platt. An unheard of and most iniquitous proceeding, and one to which the records of this State will not show a parallel. Death of "Ana Hearts." The New Orleans papers chronicle the death of Major George McKnight. He died in that city on the 10th inst., of c)nsumption. Major McKnight wa< a brother of Robt. McKnight, Esq., - d tor and proprietor of the Unionville. Times, and served an apprenticeship at the Printing business in Columbia, S. C., from which city he removed in 1850. Connecting himself with a Louisiana regiment at the breaking out of the war, he was elected -Major, and at length made prisoner, was con#ned on John-. son's Island. During this imprisonment h: became celebrated as a writer eve, the signature of Asa Iieartz. In hi untimely death, the craft, of which be was an ornament, is called upon to mourn. Our sympathies are with he~ afficted family, among whom- is a lovely and accomplished a ife. The legislaure. S-rty and two days, (and how many dollars we have no just- conception of,) have been spent by this superlative body. (begging the S. C. Republican's pardon), and the end is not yet; it still sits in de I ghtful leisure, waxing fat and sleek on h e per diem. Will it Eit forever ? the saints forbid. A proposition was made, or resolution offered, last week, to ad journ on the 25th, but it was tabled ; we trust, however, that a ray of hope mity be based upon that, and that this great indefiniteness will some time come to a close. The Republican objects to the terms scalawags, &'c., as applied to this body, by the "provincial" press so-called, and lest we fall into odium also, we call it a superlative blood-sucking party of leeches or'vamnpires, feeding on the life blood of the State and people they pro fess to represent. That some good has been done cannot be denie-d, and it would be passing strange if it were not so, re membering the wisdom of a.few, and the conservatism of others, who add a por. tion;of dignity to it, that is as far as it gots. But the time, and the money ! There's the rub. One of the few good things is,that on Wed-nesday last, eighty - seven out of the number present, inclu ding our own Newberry worthies, passed the act to-re-enact certain acts lending the name and credit of the State to the Greenville and Oolumbia Railroad Com pany, and to validate the action of the said company thereunder, the act having previous&y passed the Senate. This was right, and good for the road, and better that it was done in the face of Goy. Scott's objections. -But the burden of the song is the same, they sit. ~Among the items of the past week, we notice that Henderson, our Jeems, has "struck ile" or an idea has -struck Jim which gives hope of "ile." Hawing free riding on the brain, the following preamble and r,ssolution were offered : Whereas, That railroad companies of Georgia, either by consent or by action of the General Assembly, are now pass ing members of her Legislature free of charge over all the roads in its State ; therefore be it Resolved,. By the House of Represen tativa,-the Senate concurring, that the General Assembly of Sou0th Carolina take such measures- as may secure the same privilege for her members. A happy idea, but a hat-pier one would be free boarding, and a resolution may soon be looked for askinig action in re gard to free boarding in Hotels and pri vate houses. The v eloci p ed e has appeared in Charleston. Goveri-or Scott has issued an order to Colonel F. J. Moses, Jr., Adjutant and Inspector-General, to organize his de partment and proceed to enlist the force referred to in the joint resolution au thoriaing the Governor to employ an Waiting. In Washington, the other _day,.th.e ?Repu611caCommiitee decided that ne grbes should not be rdmitte l to the rVg ular inauguration ball, except- as. WAIT ERS. ' It always happens so. Every time a Radical is asked to vote for a negro he advises the negro to wait -not to push his claims yet-that the public mind is not- exactly ready. That is to say, the Radicals accord more WAIT to the negro's demand for office, privilege, and place, than is some times tasteful to Cuffee. Cuffee is a man and a brother, no less for all that-isn't he? Some months ago, the State of Iowa voted negro equality. Some weeks ago in that same State, a negro juror was regularly drawn, with other citizens; and a Radical judge ordered him out of the jury-box, saying, "The election was a complimentary affair, not intended to confer actual benefits, and it is presump tuous for any negro to claim a place or position white men only are fit to fill." The negrojuror waits. Menard, a negro, was elected to con gress from Louisiana ; and the Radicals maneuvered him out of his seat. He has gone back home-to wait. The Iowa Radical judge thinks Cuffee ought to wait. The Inauguration Committee are of the same opinion. Mernard got the same advice in Wash ington. And why not? Waiting is a sweet privilege to the negro ; and he appreciates it. He is grateful for the advice. He loves his Radical lords-licks the sweet Radical hands that lash him-whines approving ingly to the Radical mastei that orders him to vote for Radical officers-and thanks the Radical for the glorious privilege of wAITING. Will Cuffee NEVER see how this thing is going? - ' J. W. D. Exchanges The New Eclectic for March Is Just received.

French paper in regard to- the visit of Mr. Davis to the School above named, allow me first to say that the School of St. Cyr, as the Polytechnic School, is un" der the command of the Minister of War. The first Military School established in France, by Lewis XV., in 1731. was located in a spacious, Mon.mental Building, erected at the extremity of the Champ de Mars. (1) Abolished in 1793, the Military School was soon succeeded by that of the "Sons of March." encamped in the field of Sablons, which, however, lasted but a short time, In 1802, Napoleon the 1st, re-established the Military School; this he established in the left wing of the White Horse Yard, in the~ Palace of Fontainebleau. In 1808, he re' moved it to the old Royal House of St. Cyr, erected by Lewis XIV, and it is there that the Military School stands to-day. Every Frenchman from 18 to 21 years of age, who passes the examination held every year by the Minister of War, is admitted to the School. When admitted, he contracts a military engagement of seven years. At the end of three years, the scholars are brought before a board of examiners, and if accepted are sent to different regiments as second Lieutenants, but if rejected, are sent to other regiments as privates. (2) It is to this nursery,the glory and the hope of Prance,. that Jefferson Davis paid a vi-it on the 20th of January last. He was escort ed by two officers of the old army of the South, and by Mr. Slidell, who was the Re presentative of the Confederate States dur, ing the War of Secession. The French Gen eral De Goudrecourt. Director of the Milita ry School, received the distinguished visitors with the most marked courtesy, and the rvgiment of school boys being at the time under arms, one of their number was placed in commana, and the old Minister of the United States the old- Director of West Point, and the gentleman at last, who was for more than four years the soul of one of the greatest struggles recorded in hisrory, exhibited an admiration which he did not try to conceal, while witnessing the admira, ble drilling of these youths, who are the personification of the Military qualities of all Frenchmen. When at rest, Mr. Davis spoke English with a number of the younge men. He then visited the study rooms, the amphitheatres, the collection rooms, and the marble tables on which are engraved, in letters of gold, the names of all the scholars who have been raised to the rank of generals. Thus ended the visit of Mr. Davis, who left the School perfectly satisfied with the proficiency ex hibited. and with the sympathetic welcome of t,e School boys of St. Cyr. (1.) This spacious building retains but one remembrance of what it was before 1789 and that iF a small room occupit-d by the grt at Napoleon, when he was a scholar of that Institution. - (2 ) To the pride of that School I might say, :hat among the best and bravest gener. nlie of France, an immense number come from the scholars of St. Cyr ME. T. Kisy Hobbs Speaketh ,W the Herald. .Mr EDYTUR-Dear Sir: Polka tells me you are a mighty knowin' inan, and can tell any body al! they want to know. Now, there is somethin I want gou to do for me, and you mustn't say I told you. The Scrip. tur says, thar is a marryin and given in marryin, here lately; egaitg some of the old priofts, I believe it was Samon, in the book of Sams, says the labror -i worthy of his h ire. Now you see, I[want you to give these tfellers sut. und row em up Sailt Lake City. You are the man to do it..- A poor pas-on has to ride a hard trottidi boss twenty ori thirty milers a splashin through the mud, and when be gits thar, his nose as red as'a tu. ky gobler's snout, bis years fri: off, and his eyes blowed out - by the cold winds, his . bones t.huck till ther ready to fall together in his skin. and, he stana Op and jines em together, makes em both inter two for life, a'id never as much as hears: heres your dol,. lar. Aint it too bad. I reckon some folks think as hcw a passoni eats his dinner offm his old sarmins; now, I want you to just tell cm what you think about it, in your pa per. You see my darter and Sim Dodson Is promised, and when you tell em about the way some people do, I will give it to Jim to read, and a,x.pim what he thinks, and if -he is one of thein sort, I tell you he dont get K tura Hobbs, and If he does get her and don't pay the passon noth., she shan't live with him a single minit, and he will find a bifly divorce in the sheriff's office by sun up next mornin, 'or my name alnt Kizy Hobbs. .he shall leave his bed and board. But I reckon a man what can't pay the passon haint no bed, nothin but a board. My gran ny was ninety-five years old when she died, and she told me, after the Revolution war, women was so scace in this country that they brought ship loads of em from some where else, and a man could buy a wife for a bottle of rum, and a few pounds of to backer. I thought that migh ty cheap for a good wife, but law me, now, they aint worth nothin. I think It is puttin a female woman down mightily. I went to the Massisippi once on a visit, way out i'n the Chickisaw nation, and staid three months. When the young folks thar take a notion to marry, they have to wait till the circus rider comes round, and that aint more'n twice a year, when thar will be .half a dozen couples. to marry, and you will see em a comini, some with as meny chrekins s they can tote, some with a pair of turkeys, another cloth for breeches, sotne with a pile of socks, and so on, but all to pay the passon. Well. that was the best they could do-you see that money was scace in theta days in LICK SKILLET?, that was thle name of the lizt.e town noti far off. ' hem peole thought their wives was worth somnethin' and reckon they was harder to get, a'nd not so willin to miarry. as the galls th,esedays. I'hat is what I tell Kitura. The galls ought to know who to get, and he sure to marry a man that will pay the passon. Now, Mr. Edytur, you just give it.to em good; you are smart like, atd kin say right sharp things sometimes, and I haint got nothin to pay the printer, since as how it has tuck all we can rake and scrape to fix Kitura for hous4heepn; but Iaintsuie she WILL keep house. '1 hat is what I[want to find out through your paper If Jim Doda.on dont pay.the passon, Kitura never keeps house with him. If you will sendl the truck, after printin that piece for me, [ will make som e the smartest shirts for you that ever an edytur wore-no disparagement to Mrs. Edytur's wo*-but you see that Is all the wayt I can show my gr-ati'ule. KIZ[A HOBB Mrs. Kizia Hobbs will accept our thanks - for the cou,pliment, equivocil though it be, that we "sometimes say tight stmart things." As she has pretty ably and fully covered the whole ground of argument in the case, and exposed the littleness complained of, it would be fol ly in us to attempt to .say more than that Kizia is right and true as a trivet, and that she bas permission to touch -all small idead people up whenever :s feels disposed.

GooD NUXBER.-The number of busi- i ness places, large and small, in the town a 0 of Newberry, from a recent survey taken a by the local, is set down at eighty, this includes all the various branches ; and r may be considered a favorable ind,x of 0 prosperity. From a birds-eye view, ii each-store or shop presents a map of busy life, while content is marked upon ti the face of the professional man,urerchant e and artizan alike. So mote it be. ONE OF THE BEST.-Sublime and prac- a tically ridiculous, and good for a local, is this appeal of the veteran at tLe foot of the stairs- a "My son, arise and see the newly-risen -2 luminary of day, and hear the sweet s birds singing their matin song of praise to their great Creator, come while the dew is on the grass and the tender lambs are bleating on the hill+side-come, I say, or I'll be up there w ith a sa itch and give you the cussedest licking that f you ever had !" MORE EMIGRANr.-Since our last issue ( some twenty or more emigrants arrived here, the most of them being er.gaged on C farms near town, while others are on the way and will be here during the course of the week. We are pleased to see thi" evidence of progress on the part of the I farmers. and look forward to the day, I which we firmly believe is not far distant, I when these industrious people will be I scattered broadcast over the whole dis trict and State.

SLEEP NO MIoHE.-ADtiCipating the ap proach of sprmng,warm weather, and The disposition to sleep which falls upon some folks while in churcb, we pu'olish t1 e follow ing royal decree which appeared in a Danish journal, issued in 1816:1 "Having learned that the number a who sleep in church during service is' very considerable, we have deceed that every parish of the diocese shall ap- I p,oint certain persons to look after such otfemnders. Fur this purpose, they shall be provided a itht a long rod, having a leather thong attached to it, with which they are to lash on the head all those - who are found sleeping." And a good.idea too, is it, and worthy of adoption. Cannot some of our good t brothers in the church take up this ~ agreeable occupation, and stir up the t sleepers. The time is approaching when f something of this kind would be of ad vantage. ______ PERSONAL-Gen. D. H.
