Ga.t," The New York Revolution is a great paper. Conducted chiefly by strong minded and strong-bodied women, whose accredited organ it is, it is fighting, the battle out on that line with the ferocity of the. tigress. These women editors in variably "call a spade - a spade," and make no more of bearding a he lion in his den than of walking out on a breezy afternoon. The last Revolution (which is sent to us regularly, in consideration of our de votion to crinoline) has a letter written by Theodore Tilton, from which' we' make the following extract: I believe that wo.ian is a natural physi cian. And I believe, also, that the da- is not fifty years in the future when one-half the ent:re medical profession of this coun try will consist of women. It will then be pleasant for a man to be sick ! On this the Revolution makes the follow ing e-leg-ant comment : Werse and worse. Theodore now post pones the millenium-day fifty years ! He forgets, too, that when women are scien tific physicians there will be no 'sick' men. It will be far more pleasant for us to affi ate with men with sound winds in sound bodies. Of all pitiful sights is a sick man A woman arrayed in a rich dressing gown and cap can look qui'e interesting, pale and thin in an easy chair, "ot a man with his Adam's core. unkept heard, irritable tem per, his hopeless views of tIe future, and his long legs that ato one can lift in bed or out is enough to appal the most patient, and loving of Eve's daughters. Let us have done with sick men. E. C. S. This is written by a woman. These are her initials "E. C. S." representing Eliza beth Cady Stanton. Lizzie's a widow, and has had some experience with a sick man. She therelere speaks "ex cathedra," and she speaks in no evasive or unintelligible terms. Lizzie is horribly "rough" on the men ; and but or the irresistible fact that the sick oneshave long legs, just as narrated by Lzzie, we should most certainly feel it our duty to go to the rescue. There is no denying the fact that a wo man, "pale and thin in an easy chair, can look quite interesting," especially if the "dressing gown and cap" are made up ac cording to the latest mode, and she is as "pale and thin" as the leaf of a water-lily viewed edgewise. "But, a man with his Adam's core, unkept beard, irritable tem per, his hopeless views of the (woman's) future, "and his long legs, that no one can lift in bed or out, is enough to appal the most patient and loving of Eve's daughters." This is all very bad. But, regarding Lizsie as "the most patient and loving of Eve's daughters," we feel inclined to do her a real kindnes; and it she be dispoed to abandon her widowhood and experiment writh just one more sick man we can refer her to an ex-rebel soldier who, though he nce stood iii ?e* four Inches in his stock igs, is "now~" the very man to make Lissie "know no more torever" 'as' Mrs. Stanton. Knowing the cuiosity of -women, we wll inform our cotemnporaryre of the Ro'*h' tien that the gal.nt Knight whose deteise we *oeld ha-ve iher edieoerage lost bothrigs, ct of shove the knee,, at the first battle f Nanassas. This misfortune haa reduced his -stte to scans three feet ; but the greet esideatum is t'eeur,ed, and If he should anfortunate!y be sick, Lissie would have no "ong legs that no one can rift in bed or We commend our suggestion to our sister f the Revolution, and believe shte will adopt It.

A LaDraS Ma.-We asked a friend a day or two ago about a gentleman who had just left him. "Mr.-," he an sered ; "he is one of those fellows that the ladies think so much of-they are all on excellent terms with him, you know -they ask him to go to places with them, and, when they get thcre they talk with somebody else." "Of all the Bourbon Princess and Princessess now in Paris," writes the Paris correspondent of the Turin Gazette, 'there is only one w'ho, if suddenly de prived of his fortune, could makesa good livinr by his own merita. It is Don Sebastin, the Infante, who is a capital portit painter " DLLY RANDALL, who makes "Hash" for the Aurora Beacon, and spices it well, is guilty of the following: As GJolfax had Nellie Wade, why didn't he have her uncle weighed, also?i Because he's Ben Wade.

Whatever may be the short comings of Columbia In the way of vacant lots and cow-swallowing wells, she is clearly In for the "new regitne." We are to have a huge Opera House, un der the managelbent of the Southern Et press Company. 1Th Express itself is no slow coach ; and the Express Opera House may be expected to be a fully-alive if not a gay and festive concern. The plans are matured, and the mammoth building is soon to ascend, on Main-street, nearly oppos(te the just-now-opening Columbia Hotel. This Columbia Hotel, too, is to be bead and shoulders above all predecessors. Then Senator Sprague is, as soon as the swelter of mid-summer abates, to set about buildings his behemoth cotton factory on the Columbia Canal ; and the hum of a hundred thousand spindles is to fall into tune with the musical shoal-roar of the Congaree Rapids. A month or two ago, Louisa Rawlins, a mulattor'ss from Charleston, of voluble tongue, made a speech before tie Judiciary Committee of the Legislature of South Car. olina, upon Woman's Rights. It was not so forci6le as Mts. Becker's in E::gand (i. though thepoints by a singlar coincidence were the same), last Fall ; nor so spicy as Miss Anna Dickenson's generally are ; nor so violent as Mrs. Lucy Stone's ; nor se bold as Mrs. Stanton's ; nor so decant as Mrs. Jane Swisshelm's; nor so funny as Oliver Logan's ; nor so solemn as those of the Rev. Olympi % Brown ; nor so winning as those of Miss Geraldine Hooper ;-but yet, whatever it was, and however poor it was, the great thing about it is, that it is an introduttion of the gigantic Ism of Wo man's kightt . into South Carolina; and, further, into Columbia. And again, Perry Fuller, of this city, on the 11th instant, that same being Sunday, deilvered his first Lecture upon Spiritual. ism ; upon ilitualism and in defence of it. He announces himself as an out-and-out advocate of the Harmonial Philosophy of the Spiritualists ; that philosophy which teaches that the so-called dead can return and commune in language with the living, and do so every-day, Mr. Fulleris fully in earnest, and enjoys the distinction of being the fierst man to unfurl the shadowy banner of the mystic enthusiasts who claim to give as messages fr'om our dear dead-the first to unfurl it in the once conservative and always very Southern city of Columbia. Verily, the "New Regime" is upon us here, and 'at wIth a vengeaece. We look upon these things as wre do upon the growing evidences of a storm when at sea-they heighten theinterest, though they. increase the danger. It Is evident to our nd, that we of the South al11 have to meet the oncoming storm-or, at least, the oncoming swarm f Irss; and our idealis that the faster they come on, the quicker the crisis will be ver. And, haencW *re watch thae gathering points, with very much the feeling of inter et with which .we note the approach of a boominug blow at sea. We must brace.for CoLUMBrA, L. CEtAro;, S.C., Feb 18th, 1869.-To bs Editor of the Gasette.-Wheni about starting from New York on my Southern eorney, -I mde enquiries as to the best otel in your city. Seme recommuended he PaviliQil and some the Charleston lotel. By good luck I chose the former ad must say that i. all my travels through almost every State in the Union, I have never stopped at a hotel that at lords more comforts at a cheap rate than are to he faund atthe Pavilion. -Oneof the, great disadvantages of hotel life is the frequent incivility of both managers nd domnestics. At this hotel you have othing of the kind to annoy yoti. floth managers and domestics, are not only civil but oblhging. The rooms are scru ulously clean, and the table will hear oparison with -any set in the most aristocratic and dearest of Northern otels. In a word, I am better pleased with this one, and felt more at borne here than any hotel 1 have stopped at since I left New York. If the inhabitants of the different towns and cities of this ountry could fully realise how much the prosperity of their native place depended n the hotel accommodation it affords, they would feel the more grateful to those who keep good houses, Inferior botels, nd commercial prosperity never yet went together.

A most painful case of flogging a little school. girl has just transpired in the town of Medford. It-seems that the un fortunate victim was Annie-E Enright, only thirteen years of age-; that one day she laughed in school, and when asked what she was laughing at, replied, "Ncthing." The teacher, Mrs. Abby-S. Morrill, then niade her hold her upon the desk for half an hour, and afterwards she took a large ruler. and used it upon her hand until it was sore and blistered. She then seized. her by the throat, dragged her across the desk.and threw her upon the platform, and then, putting her knees upon the little-girl's stomach, struck her several times with a larger ruler than before.-During all this the girl's dress was badly torn and also some of her un derclothing. She was then kept after school, and could not get away until afte& she shouted to-a boy from the window to go after her mother, and then it was found necessary to remove her in a carriage. A physician who was called found both arms black and blue from the shoulders to the arm joint ; also-spots on her knees, two blisters on.the left hand, black and blue marks on. the right band and a vio lent pain in her stomach. The little girl was so much exhausted that when the doctor raised ber up she fainted, and she was so mooi1 swollen about the stomach that it was 'necessary to cut her clothing with scissors. Mrs. Morrill, the teacher, was arrested and brought before the Charlestown Police Court, where she set up for defence that the girl was stubborn and she only tried to make her mind. Notwithstanding, however. the extreme cruelty shown towards the little one, and the fact that she was confined to the house two weeks in consequence, Judge Warren held that . the girl was naughty and deserved punishment, and he there fore discharged the teacher. It is evident that there is a demand for other than a Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. ToE APiovCDra COUNCIL IN Roa. At the approach of the Ecumenical Coun cil the following ecclesiastical details will not be devoid of iiterest': The Roman Catholic Church counts 12 Patriarchates, 117 Arch-episcopal Sees, and 905 Episcopal; If .frm this total be deducted 229 prelates In partibus, there remain 188 Archbishops and 657 Bishops of the Latin rite, ami 7 and 63 respectively of the Oriential. This latter comprises Armenians, Greco-Romans, Greco-Ruthenians, Svro-Maronites, Syri ans and Syro Chaldeans. At this mo ment only 982 Sees .are. occupied.

Well, here "w~e" .ared. what...with charging our mind to wake up...soon, which .kep us isain asapsilinight. and .dream'. g-about those good46rbothig exchanges -217 papers-and 11 -magaisiner and-7 - >amphlets'-I'm tired already. This pile o tapers have been accumulating for several lays. the Senior knew he was going off, tnd didn't care much to read-he was think ng about entres and side-1ishes, beef a 1a node, deviled crab and celery-we hope te'Il eat celery, it 'ill do him good. And then tow provoking to think that the junior (he tin't the fighting, editor-ne'er a time-be oves to play with the babies. I don't think hat I'd lke babies--I'd sooner board at the otel,) went and took a chill the very day tefore the senior went off, and not satisfied rith that, took another one to day. Such s life-troubles never come one at a time. f the junior hadn't taken those chills I rouldn't have to read all these Suns and tars, and Comets and Constellations, and *ilots and Posts. Well, if I must I must. They say I belong o the "try family"-so here goes. But be, ore I begin, I wonder when the Senior'll be tack? I'd like to know, too, what gave he Junior tho,e chills-he says that they ire the first he's had since he lived in this teauriful rown. I'll try and find out, and ,et Dr. M., or Dr. R , or Dr. McI., r Dr. G , to give him castor oil and urpentine, and see if that won't help him, tnd if they all fail, I'll get Mr. Ed. Peterson o bring the well,borer. round-they do say hat he goes through chills like p charm. 'he fact is, the Seniur tbtust either come tack, or the Junior must get well. Be. ause I'm too young a devil to appear in tublic on the (paper) stage. And now, uppose I was to be-personal or put my foot a anything, and somebody was to chal' enge me to fight a duel, and I got killed. Vhat would the'world do with a dead devil? tell you "we" editors must be mighty pru lent; some one says prudence isgreaterthan trength-I believe it. I'll be prudent. Now that the Junior's got chills, I don't now how he'll amuse himself. For he sn't fond of catebing fish or shooting irds; only recreates by playing with the tables and reading newspapers. I can't, or the life of me see what he finds in bas ties to admire. in the first place he loves o bring them bome, then to wash theif aces, &c., what will he do when they all crow up? He'll have to borrow somebody lse's babies. And then, them papers; he eads all day, and then all night, and puts ut his lamp and reads by the rays of the ising sun, till breakfast is ready, and then oes to work and says he ain't tired for he's tse to it. If he don't'mind he'll turn into a tewspaper and blow away. He's thin enough tow. I never saw but one real fat printer, o all my life, and he works on the Charles" on News (the paper that had the talk with ,ov. Scott.) Printers are too lean to be fat. (ever saw a rich one-that's the only rule rithout an exception-they are too poor to >e rich! The devil and Dr. Foster! What will the enior say? I haven't taken that birds-eye" ,iew, yetl I'll be switched, I vow. Well, iere goes-I'll not be personal-I'll be pru lent-and as "wise as a serpent and as armless as a dove " Started at J past 6 and at 4, only 100 read -now, tomorrow there'll be 200 more bought these editors had'a nice time read" ag papers, thought so when we got through 5; but begin to cave in, and now I'm per ctly disgustej. It's worse than cooking on never get one pot off before you have o put on another, and you are in the same tew every day. Have reached the 141st aper and don't see fny current news yet; n my eye it looks. very un-current. Will ry it another day, and if the junior don't et well, I'll quit. My life's too precious to raste it's sweetness on such a desert air as His is-it's a perfect sahara of sand to wade rough. I want to live, if. I am a devil nd board at the hotel. Well I've got through with all the little apers. But the big ones will give me esie. Speaking of little things reminds me a say that somebody has said that little romen are angelic, dear, delicious creatures; ot having arrived at that point, we can't peak experimentally, bu' take it for gtant,. d that all real, live-hearted women are de cions dears .-You bet that was some prae'. cal dollar and cent fellow ('he one that uly took in the "little" women) who was alclating about how Inuch less calico it rod take for a dre's pattern. But I know that little things are remarks le. For instance ll.t'e tongues do all the iking; and little stars all the shining on ark nights; and'Tittle words when sweetly. nc happiness or despair; make empire~ or baos; pl::ce the commonweialth on Parnas ian glory or send it down, down to the Ice. ean waves! Some one, poetically inclined, as said that "true greatness consists in an onest discharge of the little duties of life." ,ttle moments and diamonds, and dew rops and gold dust and violets are precious. low poets don't always saty good thing turns and Byron have both said naughty hings-things that had'tst oughter been aid. Poets are sometimes crank and selfish nd misanthropic and exceedingly crude and btuse, and they have no righ t to put vulgar areasms Into verse, for poetry is essentially roman's language! And, devil as we are, -we love all the ladies, and would.go to be crusades -for their fair fame. W hat was I talking about just now ? I've >st the connectIon. 0 yes. little things ell It's little things that keep the world live. What would we do without the "lita l drops of water antd the little grains of and, that make the mighty ocean and the eatiful la.nd?" And then the little streams make the big rivers, and the little acorns g oaks, and Napoleon aud Alexander were abes. Oh yes, little things are great I do wish the junior would get well-what ould have induced him to take chills, when 11 lisa children, save two, take them frne' ently. I wouldn't take them I'd give em away or let them go. Extremes are aid to be dangerous. But the biggest and ittlest of his children ain't got the chills ely them what comes in between the long d the short ones-so I'd advise everybody a be either very big or very little. Now, I bink the reason why he's got the chills, is ecase lhe lives at Halcyon grove, as he calls t Halcyon, indeed' Better call it Shivery all-and desert it like they did Tarra of Well, I have read all the papers, but I've aid too much already, so I'll have to make resuma next week, and tell my friends hat I've seen in them.
