THE ORANGEBURG NEWS GEORGE BOLIYER, Financial and Business Makaokk. Official Paper of the ?t?te and of Orangeburg County. SATURDAY, MAY 81,1873. 8 .M"JL_1_!_ .'_LLJ* Education with i rflow lamentably many whitq^ujeu in this' county are unablo to" writo*ti*TcS*i names! Village lifo with its small c*on fiue of duties aud ftt> uarrow world of gossip ihuts us out from contact with the rude ignorauce that prevails to an alarming extent. In some parts of this County taniitiea and claus of men lead lives as savage, untamed and heathen as the Indians of the far West. In other parts, witchcraft flourishes ? and the witch doctor plys a paying trade out of the credulity, sup.rslition and ignorance of the neighbors. Of course this is not. general. But the fact of such gross and barbarian ignorauco existing near and around us is startling. Education is too generally neglected. School houses arc wautiug or lire c'osed. Teachers arc out of employment or arc cling out n miserable life upon a salary which is not even courteous thanks for their labor. The fau!t is with the people. The School system is adequnto for the cdu cation of all the indigent children of the County. Compulsion is needed to deal with the b'Udid und insensate ignorance and bullishness that declines to scud the children to school. Let the School Authorities, let the pastors, let the friends of education sec to it that the law is enforced. Every boy nnd girl most go to school so m any mouths in each year.

The Russians are successful in their Asiatic expedition. At last accounts they have not only taken Khiva with out much loss, put have also secured the Khan as prisoner. A London paper States that there is. talk in St. I'etcShurg now of (he annexation cd' Bokhara and Khokaud OS well as Khiva. The Kus sian press represent that Turkey is tot tering with misgovcrnmeut, und predict that a time is coming when her troubles will culminate, and Russia will then be ubre to vindicate her interests. One of the loading oflruors of the Cuban iusurruction, Gen, Agrainonti, was recently killed In an engagement, which will prove a serious blow to the revolutionists. One account states that General sommitted suicide on the Quid when he fouud surrender to the Span ards inevitable. President Thiers has made, several changes iu bis Cabinet, and has thereby apparently strengthened bis bold on the Assembly. The programme of the new Ministry is to organize the Republic by ! she enactment ef oouserva-tivc laws, and wholly reject the Radical plans. The financial crisis iu Vieirot has resulted iu the failure of over one hun dred firms, cau.-ing cenvtcruatinn' in all |btanctns of bmriue?ff. The son of a wealthy banker committed suicide on account of his losses, and the citizens generally arc greatly depressed.
