It is noodless to allude to the revo liution otf sontimeont and poweor in tho lIniht m5atne of A.m.ric a andthi Military Districts. This is tWo patent 1 to nood any claboration. Bat thoro a is a revolution ii sentiment and power p in England and upon the continont ef 'Europo, that deserves our attention. The grand unprecodented Exposl- i tion of 1867 which has called tho ar- t tistio, soientilio and litorary world to Paris, has developed a revolution in v tlhpoentiment and power of the Old t orld that nothing but tho interpre- f tation of anocint prophecy has tlought 0 of.

The Sultan of Turkey, Abdul Azziz, does honor to the Sov croiga of Fraico. And in the visit of thil., ruler of an old power in Europe, we have a remarkable ind ication of tho respect paid to an Emperor whom groat kingdoms sworo should not be an Emperor. It is suicidal to Royalty in the Sublime Porto for its Sovereign to pass the confines of his own dominions.

InMarion there has been a diflionl ty bewoonthe civil and military au-- r thoritios, tinedn a thtpot rhi aSues straugely for the under, tauding.which oxists betwen the 4r1 9d authority th now rles the u ortungto State of South Carolina, In the pleklo South Carolina is now reserved, theoi seems to. be either 00 much salt or too much vinegar. Wo thought that Uonoral Sickles ras to be regarded as the highest au lhority in this State, but if the con ict in Marion is to be governed and ontrolled by Gomioral Scott, then it rill be still more difficult to decide vicro we are. The case we alludo to is reported by lio Marion Star as follows : Thore occurred at this place on aturday last a most unfortunate and iisohievous collision of the military uthority with the regular administra lon ofiustico. A froodman, named hen. Finkloa, had boon arrested and inprisonod, under due process of law, or an assault and battery, with in ent to kill,upon the person of Wil 1am MoClollan. Captain Pingre nd Mr. J. E. Lowis representing the roodninn's Broanu, called upon Mr. 4oody, Clork of our Court, and ro Iuired him to dischargeo the prisoner 1pon his own recognizance. This lie otusod to do, declaring that both the tato law and Order No. 10, of Gone. al Sickles, required in criminal cases hat the usual recognizances should be ovn and that there must be bail, hat in this easo the physician attend uig the assaulted party had informod iiin that lie was In a critical condition, md that his recovery was very doubt 7ul ; that to release tie prisoner un lor these circumstances would violate his sworn duty to the State laws, and the express provisions of paragraph aloven, of Order No. 10, to which he specially called the atteution of the aflicers of the Burnu. They replied that they had nothing to do with General Sickles' orders; that they noted under General Scott, who was the ruling power of this State, and would sustain their action in this case ; that. they had orders from him dclaring that freedmen should not be required to give bail, and that they recognized him only, and that this negro should not give bail ; that Congress would sustain General Scott in what lie did. Mr. Moody still do oliuing to discharge the prisoner upon lils own rocognizance, they called a freednian standing by, Coleman Al ford, and instructed him1 to go to the jail and order the jailor to turn out tile prisoner. Alford started off in hot haste, and on the verbal order do livered by the negro, the jailor turned the prisoner out and Io is now at tho oxdit6nient which this affair has Occasioned, will not assail the motives of the ofilcors of the Bureau. In a colversation with CIIpta in Pingree af terward, in whui.ch we endeavored to convince him of his error, lie assured us that he was acting in accordance with General Scott's decision in a similar ease, and that whatever might be on. Sickles' orders, Gen. Scott would sustain hin. A Welcomo to DeBow's Roview. Te-day, July the 23d, we received the June nmber of DeBow's leview, re vivoed under the auspices of the "Hecirs of J. D. 13. DeBow, Proprietor," and edited by "R. G1. Barnwoll and Ed.. Winl Q. Bell." It is now published in the City of Now York, the office being at No. 80. Broadway. The whole intelligent South will welcomie the revival of so valuable a Poriodical. As its title page de olares, D)oliow's Review is dlcyoted to A griculture, R.0Commerce, Industry, Progress and Resources. It has the talent of the whole country ill its pe auliar departments, to adorn its p~ages. This June nulmber contains a like.. loss of the late J. D. B. iDoBow, to ~ethor with a frc simi/c of his auto raph. The likeness of this distin-. uishecd Editor w'e think is perfect, as ho citizens of this community will -eadily see upon a glance. It is weoll nown that Mr. iDeBow and his famni y were refugees amnong us during a art of the late War. His accomiplishl ud and beautiful wife aided very ma erially with her hlighly cultivated nusical talent, in the concerts thlat vore here (luring the War in aid of lie Confederate soldiers. "James Dun woody Brunson DeBow 'was born at Charleston, S. 0., July '10, 1820, of respectalbloiparents. * * "Mr, DeBow was first married in '1854, to Miss Caroline .Poe, of Georgetown, D. 0., b~y whom he had isssuo. In 1860, lie was again mar r'ied to Martha E. Johns, of Nash villo, Tennessee, by whom lie had four children. Two boys and a girl survive.

Every Board of Registration will choose its presiding officer, who will represent the Board and announce its action upon all matters coming before it. Regulations for the government of Registers in the dischar go of their du ties will be duly published as soon as practicable for general information. Speech of B, 1'. Randolph,-a Colored Man. On Tuesday.night an address was delivered in this place by a colored man, B. F. Randolph, which was lis tened to by a large audience of both white and black. The speaker pro longed his address about ono and throo quartor hours, but during the whole time was listened to with mark od attention. He is the first educated negro we have ever heard in a public address. While we do not endorse all that lie said, wo at the same time give him credit for mental culture and earnest. ness in the position ho occupies upon the issues now before the country. ignores any legislative attempt to foist upon the South a social equality in addition to the political and legal equality, which two last rights this State has voluntarily extended to the colored race. He declared himself a Radical Union Republican, but not of the Thad. Stevens type. The Crops Suffering, We have no very encouraging re port to make of thme crops, since the last we have. In many soetions of thit District there has been no rain for four week., 80mein sections have been blessed with reviving showers. We regrot that other Districts arc in as bad a condition. Yorkvillc En querer says: There has been very little rain in this District for three weeks. In an ordinary season, this circumstance' would not be injurious to the growing crops. Bat coming inmnodiately af. 4 ter the long continued, heavy rains,< the dry season is producing effects of . a drought, burning up the crops sot lately almost drowned out. Unloss we have rain soon, and a good deal of< it, there is great danger that this< year's corn and cotton orops will nott more than equal those of last y ear. Fortunately most of our farmers have made good crops of small grain ; but until the prospect for corn and cottoni imp roves considerably, they will do well1 to hold on to their wheat and miako but a sparing use of their oats. .Look to Your Deeds, By an act of Congress all deeds made subsequent to thme 1st. October, ' 1862, wore required to be stamped to give thorn validity. D ]uring the war nany deeds were executed in the ( southorn States and placed oni record, o which stamps wore not attached,t muoh requirements being unkn~own mn f Dixie.s Congress since the close of the wvar, >assed a law allowing a certain timeo4 .n which those deeds might be stamp- a d, and the penalties of theo law avoid- 11 md. It may not be generally known il hat we are on the eve of the term inn ion of that grace. The privilege wvill ease on the 1st of August, and we 5] n'go on all who have placed on record tU vithout stamps any writing, iMaring ht late since October 1st, 1862, -the i-. iortance of immediate attention to his inatter.
