An aggrcssivo movement upon Canada is probably favored by alargo major ity of tho Irish oitizens of tho United States. Tho Fouiau organization, plodged lo thc work of delivery of Ireland from English rule, hos grown to bo formidable, and in fact its pro portions arc becoming so colossal that, ere many months havo flown, thc attention of our Government will havo to bo seriously called to it. This " Imperium in imperio1' may uot, just now, bo a cause of apprehension, but it is certainly a question fraught with inter est how far it is compatible with tho genius of our freo institutions and a government based upon popular cousont, to ullow hugo military organizations to bc formed within its jurisdic tion-thc open and avowed purpose of which our highost and best interest, commercial and othorwiso, would urge us to cultivate thc most cordial relations. If such a movement can bo stimulated hy tho Radicals, Mr. Johnson, as Chief Executive, charged by tho Consti tution with tl\c enforcement of thc laws, will have to take strong ground and usc vigorous counteractive and suppressive measures.-? Such a courso would rendor him very unpop ular with tho Irish who hold tho balance bf' powor in many sections of tho North. This 'unpopularity, because of his recent identifi cation with thc Democratic Party, could bo, it is fondly hoped by tho Radicals, transferred to our Nominccss,-and this portion of thc forcigu vote, bo in this way, made instrumen tal in aiding to defeat democratic men and measures. --- Yet Another. From an official order from Gen. CANHV, published in another column, it will bc seen that tho Mayor and several Aldermen of the City of Columbia, have been removed and others appointed in their stead, of whom sev eral arc colored.

Wo prefer while as to color, for appearance sake at least. These arbitrary military proceedings, following each other iu such rapid succession, fully and for cibly display thc principle and spirit which actuates tho commander of this Military Dis trict. In the face of all these, we will not re piuc nor complain. Tho mighty Sampson shorn of his strength, and bound by his cow ardly enemies, never furgol thc treatment vo ceived at their hands when in that condition, lind milder or manlier means boon used to humblo him, then perhaps that desperate feel ing of revenge had not possessed him.

A circular before us from this old and once flourishing Institution, show.; us that it is rap idly and fully recuperating its former prosper ity. It now boasts of a full and able corps of regular Professors, with a supplementary corps whose untiring zeal and unflagging ef forts bespeak for them and their College suc cess. The Board of Trustees are gentlemen of known ability and integrity. An appro priation from the Stato has enabled those of ficers to make extensive and thorough build ing improvements, as wei! as largo additions in thc Chemical and Surgical linc.

That military ini..ge, seemingly of symmetri cal and beauteous proportions, where soon through thc soft bozo of eulogy and success, will be found to bo a charred idol of wood, ugly enough to bo tho household god of an Otahcito islander. Time is a great iconoclast or imago breaker. Wo may decoivo our con temporaries for a time, but in this day of in vestigation and freo discussion, no brutal, common place individual, of feeble mental and moral organism, may expect to palm himself off ns a gonuinoly groat mari.

Mr. Editor : As a rambling portrayal of '?times and topics" in this Stato might not provo totally destilutcof intcrost to your North Cnroliua readers, I hereby attempt it : Thc cynosure of nil eyes, nt present, is tho National Democratic party, ita movemonts, designs, &c., as oxprcsscd by newspaper ex ponents; and intelligent men scorn to bo pcr footly indifferent os to who tho Presidential candidate will bc, so bo is the strongest man; and wo aro willing to let tho North and Weat bo thc judges of his qualifications-since tboy, Yi*u.:dly, will fight the battle. Every thing is F Tallowed up in opposition to radical ism, nnd wo aro almost converts to thc Catho lic doctrino of any means justifying tho end, via: Thc defeat of our oppressor and burl ing thom from power. Edgecombe, tho finest agricultural County in tho State, producing moro cotton, abound ing in intelligence and hospitality, aud thor oughly imbued with a spirit of cntorprisc, which her wealth enabled her citizens to car ry out, is now paralyzed uudor tho u blaok hilo" of 12,00 nigger majority, which is fas tened on her fair territory like an incubus-a penumbra-an old-man-on thc-back-of-Sinbad, tho sailor, which wields tho wealth, without paying any part of thc taxes, which steals at night what tho honest man acquires by tho u sweat of his faco " during thc day, which scorns labor, and idly throngs tho "bureau" office drawing bacon and corn, tho pay for whioh is wrung fiom poverty-stricken, suffer ing white tax payers. " O tcvipora" Sic." Can wc not fully cuter into thc spirit with which Cicero exclaimed, " O, Cataliuo, how long wilt thou abuse our patience ?" This section of tho State seems to havo been kept intact from tho scourgings of tho Yankees with guns to reccivo a Ii und red-fold greater damnation from thc mouths of carpet baggers-those wretches from Hades, who swarm tho country, like locusts, devouring thc fat of thc offices and defrauding hon. . ' freed men of their littlo savings. None other have savings. Under these circumstances, wo look to tho Northern Democratic party for succour-it is thc beacon light whore is harvested tho hive of our hopes-thc concentration of all expec tations, and heneo wc feel safo in leaving thc selection of a candidato to thom, our only guardians who can extricate us from our po litical miseries. " Let us never bc confound ed !" Thc cotton crop is unusually fino for the season, and if nothing mars thc present pros pect, the yield will fully realize the most san guino expectations ; thc only misfortune be ing that last year's losses prevented many per sons from planting to any considerable extent.

Corn is rather backward, and has suffered from thc ravages of a blue bug, that sapped its found ation, under thc ground ; tho good season, however, has improved its appearance, and caused it to grow rapidly, within the last few days.

Our work uot being confined to tho City, ns inmates from othor Distriots have boan rcoeivod in tho " HOME." As you will seo atprcsont, tho "HOME" nuui bc . 80 inmates, and is quito full. Wo aro, however sadly in need of funds to carry on our noblo work ; wo would, there foro, feel much indebted would you mako an appeal for us through your valuable journ al. Hoping that wo do not ask moro at your hands than you aro at loisuro to bestow, I am Sir, Ho3pootfully, M RH. A. SNOWDEN, Prcsidont Widows' " HOME," Charleston, S. 0, REPOUT. Thc ladies in ,nhargo of tho " HOME," bo lioVing tho publio to bo interested in their mission of lovb and moroy, would lay before those who lin ve SO. kindly aided in this char ity a brief statement of what lins been aecoin complishcd for tho wolf'ro of its iiiumtos. Tho "HOME" has boon in operation for six mouths, and numbers over 80 occupants.

In tho seclusion' of her apartment eaoh moth er oan carry on thc work of training hoi ohil drou with tho same privacy and caro that ?ho could in hor own home ; and tho children oar. still enjoy tho privileges and pleasures of thc domestic circle. Three times a wook soup is supplied in thc Institution j and from time to timo such pro visions ns havo boon sent by friends have been distributed among tho inmates, and most grate fully received. A school numbering over fifty children and constantly increasing, gathered from tho families in tho M HOMB," and from thoso un ablo to soc uro education clswhcre-has boon j organized, and is regularly ond gratuitously taught by young ladies of refincmont and cul turo. Thj progress of tho children in ac quiring knowledge has already been such os to reward and stimulato their disiutcrcsted teachers. Tho large ntid con?f??d?o?s building rented by tho Hoard of control, affording thc facili ties, it is proposed, ns speedily possible, to admit a limited number of girls-daughters of Confederate Soldiers, who have been im poverished by tho War, and to nfford thom a homo, in order to scourc them the moans of thorough education. They will bo placed under tno supervision of a discreet and cx porionccd lady, ns Matron. For tho moans of their oduoation and board, however, thc H-.nrJ 0f Control makes earnest appeal to the liberal and benevolent. Tuition for thom can bc obt-iinod, at somo of tho best schools in thc city of Charleston, atone-half tho usu al rates; and tho /.cal and determination of tho young ladies to secure thc means of self support will, doubtless, ensure double thc or dinnry progress to that coveted rosult. Fortunately, also, tho spacious premises occupied by tho " HOME." has afforded shel ter to persons iu need who do not como with in thc exact letter of tho purpose of the Insti tution, but who have gladly availed them selves of thc privilege of occupying rooms in thc building which wcro uot immediately re quired by those for whom they were original ly designed. Tho oagcrncss with which ladies havo availed themselves of oven a tem porary sholtcr, which they covon..ulcJ cheer fully to resign so soon ns it should bc needed by those having a prior claim, docs but indi cate thc extremity to whioh we aro reduced, thc patiout magnanimity with which it is borne, and thc timeliness, of OVOO thc least effort aud prayer for its relief. While thanking most gratefully all who have assisted us in this undertaking, wc earn estly entreat them not to relax their generous endeavors in behalf of tho " HoMK." There are many wants of its inmates which weare unable to roliovc; and wo foci that our work is incompleto until we pour out thc full mcasuro of comfort, upon those whose protectors yielded up their lives in defence ol their homes and ours. Wo fully realize tho vast importance of oui undertaking-its grave responsibility. Wt know our work to bc n noblo ono-to com furl thc widow aud tho fatherless, and to shcltci tho homeless. Therefore, with an abiding faith in thc kindness of our pceple, and a con fident trust in tho benevolent promptings o humanity, wc earnestly commend thc "il J.MK' to thc liberal and tho philanthropic every where.
