VAlrRY IN SQUAD PRACTICE, A*\
The Fireman's Parade, and the ex?
ercises attendant thereupon, on Friday
afternoon last, constituted quite an oc?
casion of our growing and intelligent
community.
At the designated hoar, tho front of
our stately Court building, embowered,
as it is, in the majestio branches-' of
noble oaks, just now assuming the grand
and gorgeous livery of spring, smiled in
the embrace of Sumter's beauty and
intelligonoe. As DRYDEN'S muse has
sung :
"A oharmiog seeoa of nature was displayed."
And how shall our dull pen describe it ?
Look you!
Prom poreb to steps on either eldo adown,
Fair woman throngs
A wreath of roses forms,
More lovely in its bads and Mooms,
Than spring time garden e'er displayed.
Mail's more stern and study form is
mussed upon the side-walk, forming tho
base upon which this wreath of beauty
resta.
Thc street immediately in front-it?
self a lovely archway, formed by inter?
locking green boughs from either side
is filled by our gal laut boys in red shirts,
out in force, and with their best looks,
surrounding their beautiful machine,
which dazzles the eye as it reflects the
sunlight ot heaven, and stnuds decor?
ated with wreaths and garlands, a thing
of beauty, like "a bride urrayed for her
lord.
Expectation is protracted but a
momeut. A quiet movement umid the
throng, when Capt. JOHN S. RICHARD?
SON, JR., steps forth, and in ono of
those orn?te and graceful little speeohes
for which he has such a-gift, presents
a large and handsome silver pitcher to
Capt. K. C. GREEN, a testimonial of the
esteem and admiration of tho firemen,
whose former president he was. Capt.
GREEN responds, in modest appreciation
of thc beautiful gilt and the complimen
tary way in which it was presented. And
now the beautiful "Eugle" is put to the
test, with a spirit and enthusiasm which
we have rarely seen, evcu under the
inspiration of contending rival organiza?
tions. Now one, now two, and now
three streams of the fire destroying ele?
ment pop and crack as they leap, with
power, from their nozzles, uud driving
their way through thc grceu arches
above and beyond, bcspaukle them with
glittering spray. And ever and anon
the welkin ringa with the plaudits of
the victorious squads.
This practice, throughout, was highly
satisfactory--thc quickest time in which
the engine was put to work being forty
seconds.
Previous to leaving the engtoe house,
un elegunt silver trumpet was presented,
tl.rough Mr. A. W. SUDER, from the
officers of the Company, to President \Y,
II. G i it A un KAU, for his lise1 and the use
of subsequent President.*.
We congratulate President ClRAR
DKAU, and Vice President UREN NAN,
and Directors GltAHAM, TAYLOR, WIL?
LIS and FLOWERS, aud thc officer? and
members all, aud our community, ups-u
the efficiency and Bpirit of their Fire
Company. It is at once the ornament
and security of our town, and we are
justly proud of it.
"?rilli EXCELSIOR MAO.ISMNE.?
Promised by us, some time since, us a
complimentary presentation to those
who paid us in advance for thc Watch?
man, turned out to bo a cunningly
devised New York swindle. The first
number of the Magazine was issued-in
good stylo, ard filled up with interesting
and instructive matter, und contained,
also, a number of advertisements of the
leudiug and most responsible business
houses of the city of New York. It was
offered to editors at very low ratos for
presentation lo their subscribers. Wc
accepted the propositions tundo, after
examining the publication with care,
and after some cautious correspondence
with thu parties, the thing first became
tainted willi the breath of foul suspicion.
After further efforts tosecuro tho Maga?
zine, our letters ?oro roturnod i brough
thu mail, endorsed : "No such conocrn
in New York city." Ono or two num?
bers only of the much-landed ExcMsior
wore issued.
We have thought ic necessary to say
this much in explanation to our readers,
and ospecially to the largo uumbor of kind
and warmly esteemed friends who ro
spooed to tho proposition. 'Tis true, the
terms of tho Watchman' have always been,
and oow-uro, in advance, and that, thc (sup?
posed) Magasine wasdesignedns a purely
complimentary gift; yet, a? honest ?nd

We are endeavoring still to make

Our oitisens will enjoy the rare privi?
lege of a visit and free lecture from the
eminent scientist and famous African
traveler and explorer, M. PAUL DU*
CHALLU, at the Methodist Church, this
(Wednesday) evening, at 8 o'clock.
Having learned that M. DUCHAILLU
was temporarily the guest of his venera
ted friend of African acquaintance, Rev.
Dr. J. LEIGHTON WILSON, at his resi?
dence near Muycsville, an invitation, in
behalf of our citizens, was sent, inviting
him to visit Sumter, and favor us with a
leoture. That invitation, we aro pleased
to announce, wus accepted, ?ud the
leoture will be given as announced
above.
The presence in our midst of a man
of world'wide fame, aud of distinguish?
ed ability as a lecturer, such* as M. Du
CIIAILLU is said to possess, will no doubt
bring together a large concourse of our
potpie.
It will be remembered by the re aders
of M. DUCIIALLIU'S books, that he made
two bold aud daugcrous journeys
through Equatorial Airicu and the
wilds of the land of tho dwarfs-a strange
and hitherto impenetrable portion of ,
tho Afrioan con ti tient-making hazard? .
ous explorations and cautious investi ,
galions during a series of years.
The publication of the discoveries '
and general results of his first travels j
meeting some unsatisfactory criticisms .
from eminent naturalists of Europe,
with a will indomitable and an energy |
unflagging, ho fitted out a vessel at his
own expense, and undertook and j
accomplished a repetition of his perilous
adventures, this time scuding back ,
specimens of the particular animals,
whose identity as described had been (
disputed, AS well as other specimens,
confirming all tho statements previously '
made, and establishing a fame hitherto
unattained, in this direction, by mortal '
man;
The complete works of M. Du '
CHALLIU, to the present time, comprise
five books, viz : "Explorations in Equa?
torial Africa," "Journey to Vshango
Land," "Stories of the Gorilla Country," !
"Wild Lifo under tho Equator," und (
"Lost in a J ungle," thc last named being ^
now fresh from the press.
His leading Lectures aro three in
number, which may be delivered as a
scries, or separately, under tho follow- (
ing headings :
I. Explorations tn Equatorial Africa 1
-Hunting Adventures-Tho Warrior ,
Auts-Juuruey to the Cannibal Coun?
try.
II. Tho Gorilla, tho Chimpanz?, thc I
Gibbon, the Orung-Outang-thcir anuto- i
my, habits aud habitat. 1
III. 'A Journey to thc Country of the
Dwarfs, (discovered by DUCHAILLU,)
with descriptions of the customs of the j
people. . ,
These lectures, with three prepared
especially for the young, entitled "Under .
tho Equator," "Among tho Cannibals,"
and "Lost in a Jungle," have been
delivered successfully before large Eu?
ropean and American audiences. The
former, before the British Association
for thc Promotion of Science, elicited
commendations frotu Sir RODERICK.
MURCHISON, Dr. MURRAY, and other
scientific Englishmen. They are each
distinct and vivid pictures of savage life
in a wild and barbarous country never 1
trodden by the foot of white man until
discovered by this bold aud adventurous
explorer.

of our children, merits the highest com?

FEMALE EDUCATION".
BY W BEAUMONT CLARKSON.
SP.CT10N 3.
Som? writer has wisely objcrvod that
"a largo proportion ot the men whose
names adorn thc pages of our country's
history, were left at an early age to the
watchful caro of their widowed moth?
ers." First on record is Washington,
loft at tho tender age of ten years, to
his mother's fostering caro ; nud many
others could bo produced us striking
examples, did wo not deem it superflu?
ous to do so.
But, if wo desiro to miso tho standard
of cducution in our midst-if wo de?
siro tho moral and intellectual im
pro vom ont of our beloved country-il
wo desire tho reproduction of Hitch men
as Washington, to pilot us saio!y through
tho storms of political strife, let us
look to tho proper education of our
daughters. #
To tho daughter., of tho South is
intrusted,- in a groat measure, tho future
woal or woe of our country. Thoir in?
fluence upon future events is undoubt?
ed, and powerful boyond oonoeption.
At that tendor age, whon the mind
is pliable and impressible, impressions
aro more easily received and retained,
for there oau bo no donbt aa to th? fact,
that SD wi J youth, th? imprem?*?
received aro. over more Uatiug than ?I
a?y other period o? life.
' The mother bea, through her maier
ntl and undivided influence, at thia
early age, the power to mould her child's
disposition and obaraolor for future
aaefalaeas or the ooo tra ry-to adora or
blot the future pagea of bia country's
history*
Her power is supreme, from the tim*
she guid?e his tottering steps, or teaeh
es him to lisp the name of God-from
that hour e'en to when the grave has
olosed upon her earthly remums, uer
iufluenee is felt, but more especially at
the period above mentioned.
How vastly important, then, is it, that
we should thoroughly eduoate the fe?
males of the South-not the superficial
education, and flimsy accomplishments
too often bestowed, but sound praotical
educations, ornamented by the usual fe?
male accomplishments, not permitting
them to interfere with the practical part
of the training.
Were our females more highly culti?
vated intellectually, there, would be less
frivolity in the association bctwoco the
sexes, and more intellectuality. The en?
tire standard of society would be eleva*
ted morally and intellectually.
Many of the frivolous pastimes of tho
ball roora would be changed for the
pleasures of conversation, more becom?
ing in dignity and morals for the pas?
times of immortal souls.
Would that every one*would view
this subject io all its important bearings
upon society, and that we possessed
space to urge its undoubted importance
upon the minds of our readers.

HEAVY BANK ROBBBRY.
COLUMBIA, S C. April 17.
Scott, Williams <?- Co.'s banking house
was entered last night by burglars, the
vault door and inner safe drilled, and
blown open. The robbery was discovered
at 10 o'clock, last evening. A youug
tuan named Gage, a resident of this
oity, was found looked io a closet in the
Bank ; he claims to have been locked
in while drunk, and pretends to know
nothing about the burglary. An ex?
amination of the Bank vault shows with
two exceptions, that the boxes of spe?
cial depositors have been pillaged, and
have suffered heavily, as the boxes
contained gold, currency, bonds, jewelry
and valuable papers. Baldwin, Southern
& Cruwford are the heaviest losers. The
loss by the Bunk, though small,, cannot
be known tint ill a thorough examination.
The principal loss is by special deposit
tors. Tho burglars have probably se?
cured one hundred thousand dollars
(8100,000,) partly in bonds, not believed
negotiable. They left behind all their
implements, and a half keg of powder.
There was no watchman on thc premises
and the burglars had a clear ?eld. Tho
Police and State Constables huvo a clue
and aro aotivcly working. Great
excitement exists hero.
OARING AND S'HI, 1.1/1 I, n>H
BBRY.
Our community was a good dt<il
startled, on Sunday morning, by tho
discovery that the bunk of Messrs.
Scott, Williams & Co., had been robbed
thc uight before. It seems that at a lute
hour ou Saturday night, and under thc
cover of a heavy rain, burglars had
entered thc building by thc front door,
either picking or forcing the lock. A
telegraphic communication was estab?
lished between the landing of the stair?
case, .which leads up through a partition
north of thc bank to oflices above it,
and the closet or vault which was to be
the scene of their operations This was
dono by means of cotton cord, which, let
through thc wall separating tho bunk
and passage by an auger hole, reached
from ono to thc other of these designated
points.
By means of superior tool, several of
which they left as witnesses of their
preparation and shill, they bored holes
through tho iron door of thc closet, and
thus got control of thc bolts and admis?
sion to thc treasure within it. Ono door
of thc safe (which weighs 7,000 pounds)
was forced off at thc hinges, very heavy
tools, apparently, being used for tho
purpose. These were found in great
variety, consisting of slcdiro hammer,
chisels, wedges, auger, and bit and
brace, muffled in rubber to deaden the
sound. Flasks of sweet oil and powder
were also fouud, the latter, apparently,
not used.
It fortunately happend that largo
amounts of money had recently been
s .mt away from the bank to other points
and there was less ou bund than there had
been ot ?ny ono time within thc last six
months. Tho robbers found some coin
pensation for this, however, in tho
large number -40 or 50-of private
boxes and special deposits. Tho most
of these they examined .and rifled of
their bank notes and gold coin. They
wore considerate enough to take no bonds
or stocks of any kind. They helped
themselves in ull to about $40,000, thc
firm of Messrs. Scott, Williams & Co.
being losers to tho amount of between
815,000 and 20,000. An equal, or
perhaps little larger amount of loss was
distributed amongst a considerable'
number of depositors. Mesura. C. II,
Baldwin J. P. Southern, J. P. Adams,
Robertson and Board aro mentioned
among tho losers.
Throughout tho whole of this period
of trial and uncertainty, thc sympathy
of tho whole community flowed in strong
and encouraging currents towards tho
firm of Scott, Williams & Co.
Business was brisk with them yester
day, and they received moro monoy on
deposite (han they woro called on to
pay out. Karly yesterday morning they
issued thc following card, which wo
take pleasure in oopying, as honorable
lo nil concorncd :
To the publio-With roany thonks to
our friends and the community for thoir
manifestations of sympathy on the occa?
sion of our recent loss, wo assure them
of ournrcadinoss and ability to moot all
demands promply on prcsontation.
To tho president and Cashier of the
Carolina National Bank wo aro under
special obligations for thoir kind offer
of assistance, if noeded.
