THE ORANGEBURG NEWS SATURDAY, JUYL 3, 1869. THAD. C. ANDREWS, Editor. MALCOLM I. DROWNING, Atsociat ^jf. FELDER MEYERS, Associate. The Fourth of July. Nations have their birth-days as well as individuals. Time in its progress, . becomes pregnant with great ideas, the germ grows in its seminary womb, and at the proper moment "is born into the world." The anniversary of these birth days are ooeasions of jubilant joy. 4 * The land of Columbus hails among bor memorial days the Fourth of July, as the brightest in the culandcr. Those waifs, floating upon tho bosom of tho untried ocean of experiment, drifting from the over-crowded omporiu of Eu ropean civilisation, germinating iu the virgin soil of a new world, united and attracted by the rympathy of enterprise, of danger and of hope, moulded their in terests into a grand community of des tiny. The wonderful Utopia, of which I* Columbus had told tho gorgeous legend, - bad scarcely been reduced to a reality ; nor the El Dorado of marvellous and superstitious credulity been reduced to its market value by the enterprise and I avarice of astonished Europe, when those 1 ideas of religious and political liberty, which iu the old world were butjnetcoric " gleams or volcanic fires, destructive to . opposition but powerless themselves to live, finding in the forests of America a field for expansion, and a fostcriug "- asylum, astonished men with their logic and their success. Freedom of con science?a pure democracy, coeval with the discovery, grew with the growth of the new creation, and America and po litical and religious liberty became reali ties, simultaneously and together. The fable of a new world was dissipated and the tmth of the existence of another eon - ? tincut took its place, and tho laurels of the discoverer faded aud withered, iu the eommonsense realization of the fact. Aa soon as great blessings becomo wide spread and familiar, men forget that they are blessings or that their di cover . ers or inventors arc benafi?"*^? the universal moral of all nistory. America now became known to Eu rope, aa the rendcz-vous for all that % 'aa acentric, erratic, heretic and new. All of these epithets were odiously ap plied by conservative, bigoted and stag nant Europe. But among the new ele ments that constituted the America of that day were the germs of the grandest and highest principles of Progress aud Freedom that had yet "vi?ited tho groen earth." The growing sense and appreciation of Liberty, exhibiting itself in England in the scenes of the Protectorate, and accepting the return of the Crown, al tered and amended in accordance with man's realization of his right, and in France, in the hollow mutterings and snbteranean reveberations of that unrest and chafing at the deboched and mon strous tyranny of the Bourbons, this sense of Liberty in America unopposed aud un shackled reared its proportions of Majes ty and Beauty, and became the "great spirit" of religious enthusiasm and wor ship. Hero Liberty found her vast and peerless temple, her forest cathedral, "Its dome?the umlimited arch glowing o'or ua; Its sense?yon budding spray, swung by the breeze; Its music?the hymn of the fountain before ua; Its light?heavens smile, stealing 8oft thro' the trees," Md here man's heart worshipped his Ideal God. This was tho idea with which history was pregnant and germin ating to its birth, was ushered into life upon the fourth of July, 1776. The de claration of American Independence? the record of man's resolution to be free, the Magna Charta of Liberty, the appeal of humanity from tyranny, to tho Su preme king of Heaven, this was the event of this day 1 This was the birth of a new nation. Prerogative, Servil edge, avarice, would stifle the infant re public, and mother it in the Tower, but the wrongs of the American pcoplo, and the cause, for which they battled were such as ,4Mak? aa la/tuta'a sinews strong as steel." They passed victoriously through the ordeal which was to purify and to try them, through the bapt ism which should be to them tho pledge of perpetuation and ^""ferity. Again was the heart of Europe thrill cd with great news from across tho At world was reared the proportions of a new and Utopiau governuicut. The land of Columbus, became again now tho laud of Wushingtou and of Lib erty ! At first this was ns tho account of the discovery, a marvellous boyond a startling romance. Monarchical Europo,8chooled in the dogma, of "the divine right of kings." frowned down the idea of dem ocracy as impracticable and transient. Had not Home and Greece tried tho ex periment, and had they not failed ? His tory but repeats itself. The Americans will try und fail. A monarchy is the normal governmcut for man. Wo shall not argue this question, uow. Perhaps they arc right." Perhaps "the king of America is already born." If tho experiment of popular and democratic government tried upon this coutincut shall prove to be a failure, the experiment will be none the less memor able; the effort none the less glorious. There aro some enterprises und efforts of man which failure enhances with a melancholy and hallowed iutcrcst. Such was the idea of our Southern Confederacy so lately consigned to its green and loved grave. Its funeral cy press and genus *of roses blighted in their buds, twined with ivy wreaths around its ruined altar, and clustered on its torn, furled banner, will prove as perennial aud utter a voice as thrilling and eloquent, as would have been the effect of Victory's wreath of Laurel. Whatever may be the result of the experiment of the American republic, this da}' should never lose any of the bright associations that unite it nod en swrinc it with tho memories of the past, the mighty dead, and the initiation of a great Idea. Perhaps, like the discovery, American liberty will also become so common place, so familiar that we will forget the glory of its birth aud tho majesty of its importance and value. Aye ! bnvo we not already seen the day when new and complex interests and issues would rise We would look upon tho day from no partisan or interested view, but regard ing it ns one of the groat days in the history of progress, and of human liber ty, would but romind our readers of its recurrence, and its associations. Wush ington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, these arc the names associated with this Anniversary. The declaration of a band of patriots, of their appreciation of their rights, aud of their resolution to maiu tain them, this was the particulai event that occurred upon this day in '70. The birth of an infant republic, since grown to tho gigantic proportions, and perpetuated despite such autagouisms, to the present day?these aro the issues aud results of its events. There was a time when Carolinians loved this republic and obseived this as an holy day of patriotism. That time has passed. Shu 11 we say forever ? The complicated relations aud interests that have arisen?our slaves, and the mandate that man had interpreted the voice of liberty and truth tobe, for their emancipation?the differeut occupations and interests of tho sections, tho ar rangement of a tariff?questions of poli cy and opinions between State rights and centralizing parties?the recent interne cine war widening the breach-?these have almost proved tho ruin of the re public. Hut the hand of fnto, which is ultimately the hand of Cod, holds us still together. May wo not hjpo that a time will come wheu these interests that conflict will be compromised, and that a sympa thy of interest will, like the law of at traction unite and bind this nation to getlicr in perfect unity and community of feeling. Is it not a consummation to be wished for'{ The recurrence of this Anniversary should remind both sections of the country, of these memories and these hopes, aud each should sacrifice much to promote mutual confidence. Is it not a hope of patriotism that the day is near at hand when all these questions that vex and divide us will bo settled, and the spirit of peace, and not its form and semblance, will spread its benign and happy influence upon tho laud of libcr Mcthinks that grand hymn of pa tri '.antic. Upon the shores of tho new tho absorbing topic, ai mi men culled it tyl oti.sin that will rise up from thoso myriad of voices at the national jubilee of peace at Boston?ns it, tones nloug tho corri dors, und amid the vaulted dome of that grand temple of liberty?us its thunder ous symphony reverberates among the eternal hills and valleys of the land?as its ocho surges over the bosom of the deep, toned with tho bourse-sounding ac companiment of Ocean's billowy music, as its mighty voiro of melody risos liko the incense of prayer to I leaven, me thinks, tho shades of the past are ex humed from out its dusky twilight! Liberty holds her high carnival to day in America ! ond hor votaries, and her martyrs appear rcsurged from out their sleep. Rome brings her mangled Tully us a sacrifice to the goddess of liberty ; a clarion voico peals forth?a Donios theno?an echo?and uttors a prayer to the mighty Divinity ; a pillar of stone rises in tho "view, a crumbling pillar of the long t.go, but its letters burn and glow with light, and tell tho thrilling story of Sparta's king : Go strangers to the Spartans tell, That hero, obeying hor, we fell! The martyr, Winkclreid, with those words that shall echo through the Ger man's universal Fatherland in freedom's catholic vernacular, "Mako way for liberty," pours again his heart's libatiou at her shrine. Amid yon cloud of golden associations from out the storied past, appears a Scene?'tis at midnight, at the Capital, a death-scene in a grand draped cham ber?upon his dying couch the Senator lies at length. Gods! how pale, how sunken, how near to death ! lie scarce ly breathes. Tho great and good are 'round him. So still! Hush! he rises on bis pillow and the glaze of death is in his eye, and a voice, a spirit voico it is, for 'tis near the confines of a spirit world?in spirit tone* of eloquence? "For ono more hour iu the Senate Chamber to battle for the Constitution and the South !" und, look ! he siuks, he gasps, and OalhoUN is among that spirit land of martyrs who loved aud lived for liberty ! And a lofty spirit, high-ciostcd and kiiigly, i#t.vc*5Binul thatuhaatoiu host, Jiuj^^^iV^dieirns ahme, buTTidl "who* feel the instinct of man's prerogative of freedom, recognize the features, the lineaments, the profile of Washington ! Oh I it may be so, that this is liberty's last revel, freedom's last jubilee. Ours may be thfl last experiment as a people's right to live, but who can fail to see these phantom associations, to feel these historic memories, to be lifted above the monotone of every day drudgery, above the absorbing interest of self, aud feel that this is indeed a day memorable in the annals of humanity?a day prolific in grand recollections, and pregnant with instincts and hopes of a lofty and broad patriotism. [editorial correspondence.] The Grund Concert at Branehvillc. On Monday night last, Miss Floyd, n J blind lady, a pupil of the Blind Asy lum at Jackson, Mississippi, aud gradu ate of the Georgia Institution, gave a Concert at the Branehvillc Academy, the use of which was politely tendered for the occasion by our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr. Jas. B. Berry. Miss Floyd is an object whose condi tion appeals directly to the sympathies of every one in whose breast beats a hu man heart ; and although it is clearly manifest that we have in our midst a few cool and heartless despisors of the com mendable efforts of a poor blind lady, who thus strives to obtain for herself, an honorable livelihood by the -sweat of her own brow," yet wc arc pleased to record the fact, thnt we have also some citizens who aro not hide-bound, but on the con trary, large of soul?citizens who were glud to respond in tho manner they did to the wants of tho subject of this let ter. The merchants took an active part in selling the tickets, and rendering such other assistance as was needed. Many wero in doubt as to the success of the entertainment, and it was not until after it commenced, and one or two lively airs executed, that the audience .seemed to bo satisfied that the enjoyment near by, would be commensurate with the little damage their "coffers" had sustained in the purchase of a "ticket." The aston ishing sweetnessawe1 emotion with which she sung; the rendition would havo done -"t-1-? credit to any one. So calm, bo dignified, nud withal, ho heiutifullv nnrfhrmod in every way, who that saw and heard thnt blind woman on tho night of the 28th ult., can ever forgft it ? Such prccisiou and such u uututal case und graco as characterized the whole affair nie rarely witnessed. Aller the music was over, Miss Floyd exhibited tho bonks used by the blind, slate, fancy work, method of writing, &c. Well ! this was a wonder, n puzzle to many. For a blind woman, one who cannot see tho brightest sunshine, to work out, ami give a correct answer to any problem proposed, was a mystery, oue of tho impossibles. How, by run ning her fiugers over the little type she used, work a sum ? These and similar expressions were used ou the occasion ; though, of course, by tho literati (?) only. We are glad the people manifested so much interest in tryiug to make the Con cert a success, aud we are requested by Miss Floyd to return her grateful thanks to those who assisted in selling her tick ets; Messrs. Recdish & Meadows, and our little go-a-hoad Druggist, Mr. William J. Reeves, we would mention in particular as taking a very active part. Miss Floyd left here for Charleston unattended by any one. She will be at Orangeburg day after to-morrow. (Mon day), and will givo a Concert that night, and we hope tho gentlemanly merchants there may be ns quick in giving their as sistance to Miss-J?loyd as were those of Branchvillo. May God throw his protecting arm over any and every one in the sad condi tion of the subject of this letter, and crown with suctjatB the undertakings of one who, although blind, works to make her own living! - J. F. M. Our New York Fashion Loiter. NtwiYonic, July, 1SC9. Summer has .-??>. in with its usual severity, and as tsuul, the butterflies ot fashion have betake., themselves to the seaside anil the mountain tops?and taken with them such quantities of clothing and it all so new and beautiful and aty lish. .^'i?"?4^ muslin and Swiss 'cuibromcrcd masltti lor morning wear. and silk grenadine fur evening, and the most jaunty ot white pique jackets for cool days, and muslin hats and hoods? think of hoods aud hats of white muslin ?and very charming I csh young luces look in these same h its and hoods when lined with rose colored muslin, and tied with rose-colored ? strings, edged with button hole stitch in white floss. The shape most approved for the hat in muslin is that known as the gardcu shape, small crown, la.'g?. brim. The muslin hood is Nubia shape; a shape as indefin able because as indefinite as a shape can well be?the lining is gencru'ly turned over in Irunt, thus forming a pretty revers, aud if of a becoming color to the complexion, brightens up a bright face admirably. In the tame line but much prettier than muslin hat ot hood, is the white Cashmere summer bonnet. This charming fancy is of English origin and deserves to be considered un indispensa ble appointment of the wardrobe of every lady who spends her summers, or any part of them in the country. It is as simple as it is elegant being first a round piece of cashmere large enough to cover the head well?that is to droop a little on the forehead and fall as low behind as the nape of the neck ; another piece somewhat smaller, cut butterfly shaped, is laid over this, and from under the wings fall two bands of cashmere for strings. All the edges ou every part of the hood are scolloped and worked in button-hole stitch with white needle work silk. W hite is very much worn this summer. Morning, ovouing aud visiting dresses are made in the various white material suitable for each. We have seen at th ! Metropolitan Furnishing Rooms an elegant morning dress in white cashmere made en Wiittean ; that is with u pleat fulling from the back of the neck to the train? it is delicately em broidcred in fern leaves with gold colored sill,; the leaves tire in clusters on the corners id' the front, but art continued singly and sparingly up the points. This is em broidcred on the Grovcr & Baker ma chine ami worn over a white silk petti coat, embroidered in the same pattern, but in white silk, instead o! gold colored silk thread. The petticoat may be of white muslin if very fine, and rendered sufficiently oxpon*tvo by excess of ruffling, tucking, pulling and embroidering?I say cjccexa, bocnusfl so much ornntoness is required, that it approximate very much nearer an excess than the mere sufficiency. Since ladies have discovered the merits of this machine in doing em broidery, tucking, millings, and pulling, u. noil as all kinds of-bine and plain ' sewing, they have fairly revelled in dry goods, uiado up in tho showiest manner imaginable?a child now-a-days goes with more stitches ou its little pinafore than its grandmother hud iu a whole suit of clothes, and prettier stitchcB too than sho put on her ruffled Suuday cap, oven though she was the neatest sewer of all tho country round. But then there is no end to what people will do for their children. A visit to nny of the city Parks where children arc out with their nurses for an airing, will grutify any one in quest of ideas. We notice among tho most aristocratic child ren a gradual return to old shapes, es pecially to the ever interesting corsage known as tho "Infanta Waist." it looks infinitely better than tight fitting, punier humped or gored dresses. The late style seems to be left almost entirely to small boys who have not yet arrived at the dignity of Knickerbockers. Before a suiull boy is indulged with Knicker bockers, he wears drawers just reaching to the knee aud edged with needle-work ed ruffles. Tho boots for boys remain high?the Polish shape?but for little girls and 3'oung ladies the Marie An toinette is the most admired; it is as yet very new and is even regarded by some as an innovation?"not quite decent." Why ? Because it does not cover the ankle. Yet those same ladies were the Pompadour waist, which is cut very low upon the bosom?wear it on the street too, with ouly the thinnest little bit of u laco chemisette?and that no higher than it ought to be. Since the Empress Kngouie has returned from .Jerusalem, burnous have taken the place iu Paris of all other outside wraps, ami that "innova tion" has just been introduced here? whether it will "take" here or not will be decided before my next letter. Cuba and the Situation. The question of the recognition of Cuba as a belligerent power is auain agi tated. It is now being press d very vigorously upon President Grant and bis Cabinet. And this upon the ground that the advocates of independence are not only unsubdued, but increasing in force and numbers. At the first movement for a separate Government, there were 24,000 regular Spanish troops on the Island. These proved insufficient for success. Since that time about IS.000 more have ar med, and yet the revolution increases. From all accounts, it is as far from being subdued as "ver. i"j?t-n iiic nuiuurtcj urOimin !.?? u\m it cognized. . For the volunteers who are opposed to the independence of the Is land, (as leading to annexation to the United States.) compelled the late Cap- ! tain Gcucrul Dulce to resign, and took the power entirely out of hid bands. There is now r.ctually in Cuba, no le ! gitimato Government. Another important feature is the ac cessions which the Cuban army has re ceived iu materials aud men from this country. The last expedition consisted of about j eight hundred men, and left New York 1 in the Quaker City on Saturday night last. This wen! out in different steam era from different p tints, and embarked on board the Quaker City in the N ;r rows. They carried out live thousand stand of Huntington rifles, two batteries of ar tillery and equipments for a brigade of cavalry, with au abundance of ammuni tion. The importance of such un accession will be readily estimated. The contest as the summer advances assumes a more vigorous and determined shape But much remains yet to be done be fore the Government can, according to international law. lend the aid of its au thority to the establishment of Cuba, as an independent nationality. It may come to this, but it has not yet. The great difficulty here, from the con flicting accounts, is to arrive at the pre cise truth. The same difficulty, from t' e want of a free press prevails also in Havana. The following letter from a highly in fluential, and respectable citiv.cn of Ha vana, received by a merchautile house iu this city, presents as accurate a view of the situation as it is possible to obtain. It will be observed that ho describes all hopes of reconciliation or compromise as past. It will therefore be mouths before it will be ascertained, whether Cuba is to be a portion of the Regency of Spain or whether her people are to rule them selves : Havana, Juno 18G0. The dlscroj ancies between Spanish and Cuban accounts in regard to current events and the general situation arc 80 great, that it is extremely difficult to form au opinion as to real facts. There are mistatements aud inventions of a very gross nature in the accounts brought by the United States papers. But the offi cial statements iu the Islund ure also, in many respects, incredible, oonfusad, and j iucoiihislont. The Cuban reports f? I quuutly announce important rietories over the troops, and yet it docs not up pear tbat the insurgents have been able to hold utiv town, even in thn ii.t^rinr away from the scaeoast. The official ac counts almost invariably represent the rebels us being easily defeated, even when in large numbers. The Government organ is constantly repeating that the insurrection is do minated. Yet the reports of engage ments between tbo troops and the rebels, given by the same journal, are much more numerous now than they were a short time ngo. Some ot the accounts published this week indicate that the rebels are learning to fight, even in the Cetitral District, and arc becoming more during in attack. The lists of pcrsous whose property is embargoed arc swelling up, and the prospect of reconciliation or compromise is as hopeless as ever. In a manifesto which the volunteere lately issued, speak ing iu the name of the Spanish party, there are plausible argu ments for delaying nny concessions to the Cubans, but nothing issaidubout the absolute necessity of administrative rc lorm.s, which might tend to conciliate and to diminish the abuses which pro \oked the insurrection. Numerous ac counts have been published this week, of skirmishes and eucoui ters iu the Oriental Department in the Central Dis trict. One of thorn is of a particularly extravagant uuture, as it represents 1,500 to 2,000 insurgents, well armed and having artillery, as having been ignomin iously defeated by a small force of about 70. men. A lauding is stated to have been made iu the district of Gunutanamc,) of lot) Americans, Dominicans, and Mexicans, and the whole to have been cither killed or taken, with the capcUre of arms, ammunition, and two pieces of artillery. The official journal gives no late in telligence from Puerto Principe, and there is a rumor that the town is threat ened by a large insurgent force, and ihr. the chief authority has expressed his in ability to furnish reinforcements. Yet the Government paper stated recently that the acting Captain-General tele graphed to .Madrid th.it no more troops were required. It is officially announced that General Rodas, the new. Captain General, left Spain on the 10th inst ut Our city has remained quiet, and about U00 more soldiers arrived. ? Chartettoa Cvurier.
