In a Fourth of July procession at Boston, Gen. Butler was represented by an individual of "corporosity, strabismus, and baldness," carrying an immense tin spoon. Thus is the Essex statesman insulted on his native heath. Now that the "blue and the "gray" are shaking hands across the bloody chasm, perhaps the next step in recon ciliation will be that of the Grand Army boys taking into their circle the young men who went over to Canada for their health while the draft wheels were turning.

The following notice was posted up in a conspicuous position, and proved to be very effective: ''The manager requests that all good looking ladies will remove their hats for the accommodation of the rest of the au dience. The aged, the bald and the plain are not expected to comply with this request." Europe has five millions of soldiers all ready for fighting, with fifteen thousand cannon and a million ana a quarter of horses; its united fleets consist of 2.039 vessels, manned by 250,000 sailors, and carrying fifteen thousand guns.

LONO, July Ti.-At a public meeting yesterday it was resolved to open a public subscription for ti e erection of a statue of Lord Byron on somie conspicuous place in London. Mr. Disraeli presided. Speeches in favor of the project were made by Earl Marlbury, Earl Stanhope and Gi. A. Sula.

In Sweden, 3,000,000; Norway, 1,500,000; Denmark, the Faroe Isl ands and Jutland, 2,000,000; France, 500,000; the smaller Germanic King. doms and States, 25,000,000; Prus sia, 5,000,000 ; Austria, Hungary, Bohemia and Moravia, 1,500,000; Poland and Russia, 2,500,000; the United States aud Canada, 1,000,000; the West India Islands, 100,000; Brazil, 100,000; the South Ameri can States, 50,000. Total, 42,250, 000. This estimate of the number of those who receive ihe Augsburg Confession, is taken from statistics compiled in 1869. Such has been the progress of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the last six years, that its strength, it is now estimated, cannot be far short of, if it does not reach, 45,000,000. Death of Mr. A. J. Salinas. Mr. A. J. Salinas, a respected citi zen of Charleston, well known all over the State as a successful cotton broker, died at Spartanburg on Wednesday morning last, just before day. He had only arrived the evening before with his wife and two daughters from Cherokee Springs, and took supper at the table of the Palmetto Hotel, and retired to bed without any unusual symptoms, but alas, during the night he became violently ill, and before daylight had ceased to live. It was a sad and sudden death, and the symi pathies of the entire community were warmly and largely expressed to the sorrowing wife and daughters. The deceased was the only living brother of .our townsman, Mr. F. E. Salinas, who was telegraphed to at once and who arrived at 2 o'clock the next night. On Thursday morning the re mains, accompanied by his brother and his brother-in-law, Dr. Gibbes of Union, were taken down the Spartan burg and Greenville roads to the South Carolina railroad for interment in Charleston. Boomerang. "They may seek to disgrace others, but sooner or later, the blow like the Australian boomerang, when thrown by an inexperienced band, will re bound upon themselves." The word "boomerang" is so fre quently used and so often misapplied that we may be excused for giving our readers a description and indicate the proper application of the word. The following is Webster's definition: "bA very singular missile weapon used by the natives of Australia. It is made of hard wood, usually from 20 to 30 inches in length, from 2 to 3 inches wide and half or three quar ters of an inch thiek. It is curved or bent in the middle at an angle from 100 to 140 degrees. When thrown from the hand with a quick rotary motion, it describes very remarkable curves. ac cording to the shape of the instrument and the nwanner of throw ing it, often mov'ing nearly horizontal ly a long distanc~e then curving up ward to a considerable height. and finally taking a retrogade direction so as to fall near the place from which it was thrown, or even far in the rear of it." We were quite familiar with the in strument when a boy, and remember well the feeling of pride we expelri enced when after a long flight it would fall submissively at our feet. It re quires great practice, however, to at tain proficiency. When thrown by ani inex.perienced hand it does nt re turn. Any figures of speech, there fore, based upon that wrong concep tion are necessarily false. IHard Money and4 Injjation. There are no two subjects upon which people think they are better prepared to express an opinion than on Polities and Finance. There arc no two subjects of inquiry on which so1 few are entitled to have any opinion at all. As Sciences, Political Economy and -the Science of Government are in their very infancy. Some of the Natural Sc.iences, as B3otap~y, Chlemis try, Anatomy, Physiology, are ap praching the status of the exact Sinces. But their combinations arc as nothing compared to the infiuite eothbinations of Political Economy. After even Mental Philosophy should shw satisfaictorily how all the opera tions of a4 single nind arp carried on. yu have to calculate how nulli.os .of minds operate one upon another; th1e calculation of the resultant force will be beyond the power of our mathe maticians, for sometime we opine. s But just because we know so little about Polities, we can talk so glibly about it. our neighbor knows uo more, and we iieed not be afraiL Any absurdity may be advauced without any danger of a demolishing reply. . But to come to the point. The question of finance is brought before us and we have to decide. What shall I we do? What is the best for us in 1 the South at the present time? We' miust coie to some conclusion. Hun dreds of pages from Say and Adam Smith and Ricardo would leave us no wiser than they found us. There is, however, frequently a practical way of coming to a deeision where a theoreti cal decision cannot be had. Here it is in this case: All the rich bankers and brokers and real estate holders and railroad r kings and their organs are opposed to the expansion of currency. They are rich, and, of course, desire to be richer. We in the South are poor, and do not want to be very poor. What suits the rich does not suit the poor, and if 4 inflatiou-as it is called-does not suit the rich, it is very apt to be of advantage to the poor. That's the whole ground for our being in favor of it. We are an inflationist until we are better informed. a The Reunion of the Hampton o Legion. The reunion of the survivors of this a far-famed gallant corps took place on last Wednesday, the 21st of July, the a fourteenth anniversary of the battle of a Mauassas. To show the spifit of con- t ciliation pervading the meeting we can do nothing better than to copy an editorial of the Union-flerald, in re ference to the proceedings. When t political opponents join in praise with political friends the satisfaction must t be universal. One more link is added to the chain which now promises to bind together for future prosperity the different'parts of our common country t which but a short time ago were ar rayed against each other in deadly feud: The early trains yesterday morning brought in several of the gentlemen who were to take part in the re-union of the leirion. At 11 o'clock the sol-i diers otf the late Confederacy, who fought on many a field under theirt leader General Hampton, assembled in Parker's hail to the number of 150. They were distinguished by a blue 4 ribbon attached to the lappels of theirJ coats, having the words "Hampton Legion' ini gold letters. The meeting was called to order by Ca ptain Bachman nom inatipg General Wade Hampton to the chair and ap pointing Mr. F. E. Taylor and Charles F. Hoke secretaries. The field and staff of the legion were also invited to seats on the platform. Generals James Connor, M. W. Gary, M. C. Butler and T. M. Logan, Colonel B. W. Ball, Captains J. WV. Daily, B. W. Taylor, J. S. Buist and Chaplain Thomas ascended the platform. Prayer was offered by the chaplain. The erollmnent of members by companies, beginning with Company A, Hampton legion infantry. General Hampton read a letter from Robert Burns, 2d Hood's Brigade, Texas association, inviting the legion to Texas. Capt. Waldhami, a one armed soldiei- of the Jeff. Davis legion, was invited on the stage amid ap plause. Telegrams were read from Capt. E. Hunts, of Charleston, re gretting his absence; also, a letter from Julia K. Bachman, on the sub ject of the monument to the Confed erate dead. General Connor then offered the following resolution, which was adopt ed : That all funds raised by tihe legion for tihe purpose of erecting a monu-] ment be contributed to the monument now being erected by the ladies' mon umental association to the Confederate dead of the State; and that the senior oicer of each company, representedi at this meeting, be requested to ob tain contributions from his command for that purpose, and forward them to either of the secretaries of this asso-1 tion. * At S80 last night Parker's hall was crowded to hear the oration of Gen. T. M. Logan. A large propor tion of the audience were ladies. Ly Brand's band occupied the gallery, and played some ie national airs, in luding~ "Dixie," which is now a na-s tional air. Gien. Hampton again pre sded, and tile secretaries of the morn ing were at their tables. Amopg others on the platform we noticed Drs. Darby and Taylor, besides the gentle- I men of the miornling session.i Gien. T. M. Logan bears no resemn blance to his namesake, Gen. John A.1 Loau. of Illinois. The orator of the. Hampton legion is a tall, slender, pale looking gentleman, with a soft, sweet ( voice, and an easy, natural gesticula-a tion. Hie spoke earnestly, eloquently and fervidly for about an hour and a half. R1ifaddress o' oration was cx tremely conservative in the best accep tation of that term. lHe gave the North credit for all that could be just ly claimed for her by any of her best and truest statesmen-her energy, s versevecran co, indgstry and great re-r sores ; for the South, of course, hie r claimed her eminent statesmanship,v great moral qualities, refined culture y and iincible courage. HIe touched the ticklish ggestia of I secesion, under the name of local gov-( ernawnt. with fairy fingers, and pass ed a tribute to General Wade Hamp- s ton that any soldier or gentleman t shoul!d be~ proudl of'. Lee he canonized b as a sa111, haying the yir1tues f all the j \e,adj~sn oimraie h~ egreates Jaio e imm, ortalized a as athderts orf che griat, Tosiere il or a shristian. The ab- a enec of the Confederate ghost was wtably visible. It was easy to ob erve that the orator was a good sol ier, an accomplished scholar and a A incere umon man. 0 The lampton legion survivors t hould bo congratulated for their go,d udgment in selecting so prudent and i ble a spokesman as Gen. Logan. d Aoud calls were made for Generals S arv and Butler, but Gen. Hampton ,ood hunoredly-said his staff had left in and invited all entitled to the col- V ation. The meeting then adjourned.

Arrived at High th WE 'oint at 101 A M., a distance of 13 miles on Co ie road leading to Columbia, via Prosperity. va Ve were welcomed by our friends, Rev. J.

CI C. w fo te FOR THE HERALD. se Bethel Academy. er Mn. EDTOR :-Several articles in refer. m :nce to this Academy, situated near Pomaria, ol tave appeared in your columns from time to th ime, and we are inclined to believe that m ood has resulted, judging from the steadily ncreasing interest manifested in the institu ion. Ct For nearly two years this school has been cc n constant operation, and through the skill- ca 'al mannagement and untiring energy of ar "rof. Busby, the people of Pomaria pride st hcmselves upon having an institution see- b3 ond to none of a similar character in our :ountry. The curriculum adopted by the w [rustees is unusually full, and embraces laf hose studies daily taught in onr bestcolleges. St . neat and beautifully arranged catalogue as been published within the psst year, by N eference to which the reader may obtain a 13 rencral knowledge of the system of teaching 4dopted, books used, plan of recitations, &c. l lere the student is most carefully instructed, P< ising by merit from one class to another P hrough the several graduations, until he is er ally prepared to enter the higher classes in ci y of our colleges. The most approved of niethod has been adopted for the pronuncia ion of the Languages; Spencer's system of >enmanship is taught with admirable skill cc mnd success; and even instructions and prac- N ice in vocal music form a beautiful and dis inctive feature in this school. - Under the A nild but determined rule of Prof. B., whose minent abilities as an instructor and dis iplinarian are well known, the strictest bedience and discipline are enforced, and it 1 s indeed a pleasure to observe the perfect ge >rder and harmony maintained during the t laily exercises. Public examinations, occn >ying generally one week each, te place rt close of each term of three months. Comn nittees consisting of the patrons, &c., ares ppointed to conduct these examinations, tud whose prerogative it is to judge of the roficiency attained by each pupil necessary A o enter the next higher class. In fact, too nuch cannot be said of the excellencies of his school, the self-sacr'ficing zeal of the a( acher, the strenuous efforts of the students nC o improve, and the general interest mani- I ested by the patrons and friends. b At the close of each session, an exhibition, onsisting of speeches, dialogues and debartes, n s given for the amusement and gratification Pt f the public, and the encouragement and to mprovenment of the students.E One of these festal days came off on last at Vednesday, the 21st inst.; and as one of the M 'priyileged few" who participated in the Ft estivities, I am happy in being able to fur- in tish a programme of the exercises.

Suffice it to say a' rat the' yotrng men and misses performed eir several duties with admirable success, nd deserve miuch praise for their diligence 15 a preparing themselves for the occasion. Ito etweena the various pieces sweet strains oi the ocal and instruinental music animated th~e thi rge audience, and drew forth mingled ex- ] ressions of.approbation and delight from all resent. The musical department is con ucted by Prof. L. A. Hawkins, and we ut- _ r the opmnion of many who are acquainted gr rith his abilities as a teacher of music when -e affirm that no more successful and effi ient teacher could have been secored. As 'om childishi liys, 'and' echbing from 'the 'oods 'around, our 'old heart throbbed with Ex e feelings of the "oldeni time" when we o engaged in our inerry songs.

We ynsider this a n'arked addition to the regu r routine of'studies, not only in preparing nod music for our Chnrches and Sunday hools, but also for the good influence it erts over the moral character of the young. f a truth it has been said that, "Music hath aarms to soothe the savage breast, $c ," R ad we r.re sure that a wonderful change for oat ytd woulid resuot if all' our public' schopTs ia: onld add this ituportant feature to their list ten studies. not At one o'clock, the ampletg.l.cs wiveaggn ith the good thinugs eha'lacteristic of' Iutch rk, apn a geneirl myriitaiini e:4tenrti to I to'1part.ake.

Ji studies, and with laurels of intellectual umph still fresh upon their brows, much _ erest was excited, and expectations ran ,h as the audience awaited the appearance the youthful orators. The first address s delivered by Mr. Lake. on the "Impor ice of Education;" which was followed by -. Holloway, who chose as his theme, 'lie Value and Means of Obtaining an Ed ation." Mr. Busby closed the exercises of a diiy with an address.upon "The Progres ,e Spirit of the XIX Century." Time and ice will not allow even a brief synopsis of !se excellent addresses, except that they re peculiarly appropriate to the occasion, mbining many points of instruction and lue for all those interested in the cause ot aeating the young. In these days of politi I degeneracy and financial intrigue and ud, we may well be proud of such talented ung men; for in such high intellectual at inments and moral hearing we may behold ,secret of our couns. 's social and political )sperity and success. When we are per itted to listen to such addresses, delivered pe )ut:h they may be by young men, the hopes Gi our people are aroused, and the cause of ini neation receives a fresh impetus from the Ve loubled efforts of our citizens. Would that A. my more could have listened to these eeches, then our people could not fail to ow that education must be the herculean m which shall raise our State from the agmire of corruption and vice into which e has fallen. A committee, consisting of Rev. S. S. hn, Hon. Jno. C. Hope and Rev. Prof. G. . Holland, was appointed to decide the estion for the morning's debate. After - :areful weighing of arguments pro and con, e decision was made in favor of the nega- E re. We congratulate the young men for e able manner in which the debate was nducted. and with their present prospects : cannot but predict an illustrious career r them; several of whom contemplate en ring College at the opening of the Fall ssion.
