The strange times which have come over our Statu exhibit as the most appal ling feature of this remarkable phase of ourhistory, the utter inability of our poople to realize the significance of the events wluch jiro trjiuspiriug and. to suggest a remedy for their evil results. If is a fact that a change, such as rev olution seldom effects, has passed upon ' USY *' ? ??. ? ? Could the; gentlemen q( 1776 be re surrected, nud could they look npou that, ?sscf?ibly that legislates for u?, eotu ]Kffod bf the foreign adveuturer and the inferior race, tistonisttient would whiten (heir fares with us ghastly a pallor as death itself. Could John C. Calhouu, live again, aud read the reeoustruction aeia, nod ihe amendments to the Consti tution, he would fain confess that Stato Kl",-'ta was as dctid us he is himself. t deems to. us that if these dead worthies could be revived, nnd revisit the scenes of their lives, thoy would re e?gtiiio imiuu visage of the first colored man they met . the history of his mighty change. ?That the ehaugo is startling, and mighty iu our whole fubric of govern ment, civilization and society, need not beicbritcoded. In this change, there are olemeuts of benefi j and blessing to our people at - large, and there aro some ineidontul ro suits'of disadvantage and danger. Intere**,' prejudice, and prido, only can contend that a change, which has prostmtcd tho bulwarked barriers to universal elevation and prosperity, bar riers w'hich coufincd the boons of educa tion, society, comfort, wealth, aspiration to a very sitrull class, and which actually excluded all others, "tho great unwash ed." out'of the pale of civilization, that :a change that has done this is bcnoGcial *to Our State, to tho majority of our p-io j?le. to the cause of progress and liberty. '''Anhange which has torn from labor the contumely with which a false aud silly pride hud clothed it, and which iu elevating the coudition, und \ respects, and rights of the laborer, has placed labor itrfclf, upon its normal basis of dig nity and honor, aud arrayed it in its own [erakliu vestments of nobility, placed [6vc hy~i\:amf?~~ltif? b*y God?sudi a 'c one fiTmgiit witli good* A change which has removed from this fair laud the system of slavery, a moral evil fit itself, and a dark incubus, und^'body of death." upon our advance ment, Is a change for the bettor. A change which has opened the field of aspiration, and the road to happiness nnd wealth, to all alike, and which has rciffoVed the superstition that only to some was it given, as a birthright, to live in elegant refinement, to be book leaf ned- to study tlie professions to be the ruling class socially aud politically, is a great, and mighty change for man. 1 Thcso are elements in the change that has couic upon us, and they arc bcueficial and advhntngcouB. ^u'cideutnl to these changes for good, and among the means by which they are Being consummated and secured, is tho sudden enfranchisement of the colored man, and his investiture with the right offiolding office; and the influx of a UoW'j: bf adventurers, who really havo no politics at all, but, whosceing the chance before them, seeing the apathy of the Southern people, and their unwilling ness to submit to the change in the con dition of the colored man, have consti tuted themselves the tools and agcute of the great Northern party, which has con quered and changed us, aud havo won the confidence, and votes of the colored mail nud rule and live on the Stato. This is the posture of affairs in South Carolin.? iu-d.?y, and these the incidental results in our change, which are fraught with harm and danger There is harm and daugor in this pos ture of affairs, for the true interest and * intelligence of tho State havo excluded thcmflolvcs from tho areuu of roality aud duty, aud the enre of the oommonweulth, in its strange and untried career is left to tho foreigner and the ignorant. The great benefits which have resulted from our revolution aro in danger of be ing lost or prostituted by these iociden t il results. Now it is palpable, that these inciden tal rcsult3,*this loss of tho confidence and votes of the colored man, and this influx of tho adventurers, this usurpa don, i? by the default of our own peo pie. Interest, prejudice, sullenness havo prevented their bravo submission to changes which must bo for tho ultimate *M? "ti* .good of all: and. by their upathy, and lethargy, and polioy of "lotting it work its own .cure," they havo lost the confi dence of the colored man, iu his now position, aud havo deserted their State to be preyed upon by the corrupt and the ignorant. Now the problem for South Carolina, independent of the cocapfes ?Stt?cuJ ipnc- At Stalcc," i? whether this usurpn tioo, brought about at the default of our _i_??._?.. i- ?_ f_r.w mm %tj MiVIl u? ????*? MJ> UC J/CIJ/ria- 1 afect, and established. This is the ques tion before us, to-day, whom answer will be recorded in thocourse of the present year. Will we by a decotion to names and habits, by prcjuiieo to new and changed facts before us, by sullen apathy, prevent the benefits of our change, from being ac complished, by tho means of theso inciden tal results of disadvantage, or will we by admitting the great facts of our change piouioie and advance their establishment and reap the golden benefits, with which they teem ? Thu is the question for every man iu South Carolina to decide to day. Let us admit ia our own hearts every tight of the colored mao, and guaranty to him this deep admission, und put our selves in a positiou to win him back to our confidence, and adopt the only means under Heaven to day of over-throwing the pr.sent usurpation of our govern ment and of redeem in;; the State? Doings in Columbia. The bill to incorporate the Independent Elliott Hook aud Ladder Company of Orangchurg has passed and has beon ordered to bo engrossed. In the Senate, Hoyt introduced a bill to vest in Clerks of Courts powers and duties of Commissioners iu Equity under the Act of 1859. Tho Hail Road Committee recommend that a bill to prevent exorbitant freight and TaTo on rail reads. The "joint resolution, authorizing tho appointment of contract agents for labor iu each county, has been adopted. Tho sensatiou ou Tuesday was the dis covery of a bold burglary at thu Columbia Hotel, committed by a man named Mar tin, who entered several rooms at night aud abstracted valuables He was arrested by Chief of Police Radcliflc, on tho train? and comuiitcd to jail. Hu howover had given bis carpetbag containing his ill got t et gains to an acconplice who caried them off on tho train. He has since confessed the orimo. A caucus was he d in the State House on Thursday night to bear speeches from candidates for Judge of the Fifth Cir cuit. It is thought that Melton hus the best chance. The Country Schoolmaster. A "KI'.TCH It has been said that the worst hacked pcrsous in this world are the preachers sou the schoolmasters; but it seems to us that the preacher rives iu clover com pared with the country schoolmaster. Of course his conditiou is better now than in days gone by; but even now the country schoolmaster is expected to know everything and to want nothing; that he should do u great deal and eat very little; that his stock of patience should be as inexhaustible as his stock of learn ing ; that he should think every scholar in his school the brightest and best child in the world, or nt least that he should say this of each child to its parents. In- I deed, be must be perfection, very smart, very patient easily satisfied, and a small eater. If company comes to dinner, he must have r.o appetite that day; must refuso all requests to have tuoro, must be I delighted with the worst piece of chick en, smallest piece of meat, worst . sweet-1 ened coffee in tho cup worst off for n handle ; must not talk except when j spoken to, and then must be careful to say what will please his hosts. After dinner he should walk out, or be out of way, so as to permit people to talk about him; at any rate, he should uot keep a comfortable seat near the fire, il anybody else is iu the room. He should uot be retiring in his manners, however, or ho will be considered, a game-maker, or stuck-up. Abovo all, he ought to be a first-rate gossip, aod bo able to tell each family iu the neighborhood some flaw, or error iu tho others. One possessing these talents, will keep his situation, and now aud then got enough to cat, aud a kind word of cn couragmunt; and may live to persouato in himself, the sketch of the South Caro lina schoolmaster in 1800, an old man, teaching iu his lug school house for a dollar a month, often with tho earth for a floor, and a slab along one wall, with a crack hewn between two logs above for light to write by. He wrote well iu a large ion! hand, pronounced at random, aod chastised all parties, sexes, and sizes at pleasure." In morals, ss well as intellect, he should be a model, for no allowance will be made to him for human imporfectioas. He is the target for the gossips of the neighborhood to firo their venomed shaft; in this respect he is a blessing to tho oommunity, for he recoives upon his devptcd head the force and fury of scandal and gossip, that must have some victim and some vout and which other wise would fall upon some of the neigh bors. Ho is considered an outsider, outside of thu influence of sympathy ; a spy fiotu out the world of big-doings and propre?-? who will some day report ?11 the absurdities und ignorance of the iieiguuurhuuu ; a pretender, who -assumes to know every thing; indeed there seems be a kindred between the words, professor aud preteuder. There is cer tainly a similarity in tho effect produced in the minds of bis patrons, as to the two characters. He has to be very courteous how he corrects errors in grammar, spel ling or pronunciation, lest he seem to re buke and ridicule these errors, which the children have learned from these parents, and which he is to unlearn. He in pre sumed at the outset, to be a designing aud evil-minded person, aud this presumption, he has to rebut, despite the greatest, and constant difficulties. Over all these, nnd despite all these he has to acquire an influence over his scholars. How, impossible the task 1 Yet he must do it or be considered a * * ? ? ? failure, a humbug. How heroic, bow self-sacrificing is his field of labor. How many a hero and heroine, have exhibited iu this sphere, qualities of greatness, in the highest and uoblest sense. ?'Honor and fame from no condition risa ' Act woll your part there all tho honor lies" Small, insignificant, vexed with its potty annoyances, the office of teacher may ba magnified; indeed it is tho Uoblest and highest on earth. in the days of Grecian sympathy for learning and let ters, qo office was deemed nobler than that of ' instructor of youth." How this treatment and estimation of the po sition of teacher, shows like an infallible index' the deterioration of our taste for learning ; and our low estimate of the value of education. Yet, there are boiiic wdio have by the heroic and devoted discharge of duty in this most vexing, most ungrateful field of labor, won for themselves, the plaudit of "well done," extorted even from those who thus have piled the way with diffi culties, and whispered by the stilly voice of conscience to their heart from Heav en ! We remember th? schoolmaster of the '?Deserted Village," of whom the poet with an exquisite touch of nature, says: "And Htill tbey gaxed, and still the wonder grew That one ntnall head could curry all ho knew." Thin was one of those who had gone through the life long ordeal of most vex ing tiiai. and now iu triumph, a con queror in his old d iys, was doomed au_ oracle, ^wonder. There arc hundreds of yimug men twiOUgh our country to-d ty, earning a pittance, and leading a dull, hard life of ; monotony and trial, who aro the noblest aud best of our sons. How many of our lawyers, poets and writers have had to pass through this or deal -. nnd how terrible an account of their difficulties could some of them tell ' Fur these, reader, would we speak a word of sympathy. Most of theui are strangers, away from homo and its influence and sympathy, out iu contact with the world's hardest and most rugged difficulties, and they need your kindest und most delicate sympathy. They need the sympathy of your heart, and with a bright encouragement which kindness can prompt for the stranger, and one whoso duties are so annoying, and whose difficulties so great, those dif ficulties will bo removed, aud their du ties better, and more happily discharged. Particularly with us at thu South, at this period in our history, should a profound sympathy for the cause of education be felt and extended to its humblest worker. We must admit that in years past we have nutfctakcn that keen interest iu tho development of literature and iu the cause ot education as is exhibited iu the East ern States. Aud this sketch of the treatment of the country school master is a good text, upon which to found u moral essay, whose subject is the neglect of education at the South. Say you, that the coun try school master is generally well paid for what ho docs? Whose fault is it ? Would any ouo go to teaching through tho country, putting up with the hard ships of tho life, and receiving the pit tanoo of pay, if ho could do anything else? The people should want their teachers to do inoro, but they should ro ceivo moro. The position of teacher should be made the most honorable aud most lucrative among our people. Then would the band of teachers bo swelled and filled with the loarned aud the worthy, and our little ones would receive instruc tion from the lips of the noble, the good aod those who finding their labor appreci ated, have bestowed upon it a life of devo tionand study. 'Tis no small matter, for it ia striking at the root of the evil, and applying a sovereign aud radical remedy. Literature, education, need this deep interest, this profound sympathy, aod they droop and die far sooner from neglect, than from opposition. "Let us in elligent mou aud women of South Carolina determine to take a deeper warmer, more systematic interest in these great causes. Since tho transfer of the English tele graph liucs to the government the amount of domestic telegraphing has increased otrC-third. That most intelligent paper, the Lou taville Vv\irier-JbMriial. contains in its issue of Wednesday last a noticeable ar tiele on the political situation? in which occurs the following paragraph: "Every ono of tho Southern States reconstructed under tho fifteenth amend ment will fall into the hands -of the De mocrat io party, ami the Republicans caunot risk a division in the North. On suffrage they cau hold together?not on any other proposition concerning the negro. Suffrage being settled leavos the ultras nothing to do but to ngitatc for so cial equality, which cannot be made to work as a political instrument, Besides, the disappearance of the negro ques tion as a live and progressive element iu our politics will clear the field for ucw di visions and combinations upon financial topics from which the Democrats have everything to hope. So that tho jubi lation in radical circles over tho fif teenth amendment is pure effervcscoucc and eniospt* to nothing at all. A very few months of universal suffrage will develop the truth of this most thorough ty."_ Let c6 Hr.lp one Another.?This little sentence should be written < n every memory. It should be (he golden rule practiced, not ouly iff every hoove hold, but throughout the world. By helping one another, we not ouly remove thorns Irom the puthway, and anxiety from the minds but we feel a sense of pleasure iu our hearts, knowing we are helping a follow creature. A helping hand or an encouraging ward is uo loss to us, yet it is a benefit to others. Who has not needed the encouragement and aid of u kind friend? JJow soothing, whon perplexed with some task that is mysterious aud burdensome, to feel a gentle hand on the shoulder aud hear a kind voico whispering, 'T)o not feel discouraged?I aee your .trouble?let me help you." What strength is inspir ed?what hopo created?what sweet | gratitude is felt, and tho greatest diffi cultuty is dissolved as dew beneath the sunshine. Yes, lot us help one another by endeavoring to strengthen und en courage the weak and lifting the burden of care from the weary and oppressed, that life may glide sr.ioofhly on aud the fount of bitterness yield- sweet waters ; and he whose willing baud is ever ready to aid us. will reward our bumble en drayore.-amr- every gtwtt) d<.ed will be as "bread cast upon the waters, to re turu after many days/" |if net to us, to those we lovo.
