THE FAIRFIED HERALD WINNSBOR0, S. C. Wednesday Morning, June 2, 1809. Dosportes, Williams & Co., Props Blundering into Wa-. No sane man believes that the poo. plo of the United States desire a wat with England or with any Europear State. Still less can he believe tha+ any European State desires a war witi this country. Indeed, it is most evi dent that they are ouio and all unpre pared for it, and have great troubles a bome. But the grasping arroganco and vulgar insolence of the faction it power at present, may provoke a wa of the most serious character; and under the conviction that war, a some day, with this country is inevita ble, the Vestern Powers may sciz the opportunity that wounds inflictci upon their national dignity will offer of diverting attention from domesti dificulties, and of uniting their poo pio in an effort to signalize their arm and maintain their national glory That this it no merely fancy idea, bu a rerious danger, call be inferre from such advice to the administrn tion as is given below, by the Nei York Ilerald: "As for all these Wall street stool 'pigoon rumors and tLecries of war, b which gulls and gudgeons are so read 11 caught, they are utterly absurd Toioro is no danger of war between th United States and any European Pov or or any European coalition. Tb time is eminently inviting to the ai ministration in behalf of a bold, d< cisivo foreign policy touching tb Alabama claims, Cuba and Mexico because we have the game in eac c:1se completely in our hands. Nap< leon's Mexican adventure has satisfie him in reference to armed intervet tions in American affairs directly affei ting the interests of the United State The British reform movement amon the people, including Ireland, is sect rity for England, and in the New De minion we have a hostage next do< for her good behavior. Spain is sti in the labor of a deliverance from quasi state of anarchy ; and neith< England, France nor Spain is in a si nation to propose or entertain a pri position for a triple alliance for tl protection of Cuba. The intorn condition of each of those WVestet Powers is revolutionary, and froi Paris to Romo the Continent is ri1 for combustion. The general feelin in Europa of insecurity is operatin to swell the c,rrents of Europea emigration to the United States, an to give stability to our bonds of a -escriptions. We therefore contend that a vigo oas and progressive foreign polit freom General Grant will not oni meet the general approbation of tI country touching the national hono1 dignity and expansion, but that th policy abroad will be entirely consi tent with the domestic policy of peac eonomy, retrenchlment and refort the payment of the national debt ar the reduction of gold to the level ouir paper money." The Negroc Majority in South Oarolimr .'The Negroes will, for niany yeat have a mlajority of votes in Soun Carolina, owing to causes other the the mnere natural rate of increase alr mortality of the two races. J. Wo< i)avidson, .in an artice publish< i', this issue, figures out that tI t wo races will be equal in nombers 1 875. Asning that, for evot lack child born, there will be eith, a white child born or a white immi grant arriving in the State, he expee the different rates of mortality to r dunce the numbers of races to r egnality in ten years from 1865. Tl difference in '05 was 100,000 each year, 10,000 more blacks (lie thte whites; therefore, in ten years, ti inequality will disappear. Not so, say we. First, there is at itnmnse emigration of whites froi Sonth Carolina. In illustration, n will simply state the fact, that tia EpIscopal Church has lost about thirt onltof ever sixty clergymen, that nearly one.htalf of its clergy, since th close of theo war. What family there that has retained all Its men betrs in the State ? Indeed, if n could do that, South Carolina mnigi be poor for awhile, but soon woul prosper. But too many leave her, try their fortuno elsewhere. Second ly, we are cataln of a lar~ immigration of negroes from I States that surround us. The papa note, that they are leaving Virgin already, and that white immigran are pouring into that grand old Stat which 'will still further acceloral their movement south. To counto act tis almost certain immigration blacks, what step. have been take! only sensible way of testing the mat ter) to introduce white immigrants ? "Ten years !" "In ten years ! I' Is J. W. D. dreaming ?" Does he know nothing of planters ? Why, it takes that time at least for them to wake up, rub their eyes, and ask "what's that J. W. D. is saying about immi gration ?" And it take at leaet ton more years for thom to reply. "Yes, a very good idea, if it will work ; but it won't work." It will, therefore, be some time before white immigra. tion equals or exceeds white emigra. tion from the State, while it is more than probablo, that we shall have an immigration of negroes from Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennes see, and even from Georgia.. Lot them come, say we. We reckon them as one bale of cotton per annum to every two blacks, counting little and big, added to the wealth of the State. The Poverty of the State. The property of the State of South Carolina, by the assessment just made, is only one hundred anti fifteen muil a lions of dollars. The assessment has - been taken by all parties under oath, t and it must be presumed it is very near the reality. Truly,what a pie - Lure of poverty does such a statement V suggcF I Why the gross income of manufactures in tle United States for - the single year of 1860, as it is given V in the census report, if reduced to currency, was over thirty timos the entire present value of the State of 0 South Carolina and all of the in v'estments of her citizens ; and say ? that two-thirds of it must bo sot down to expenses, the Yankees could, never tholess, buy up ten States such as e South Carolina now is, with ihe profits 4 of one year's manufactures. h - -._- . . .- - - War Disastrous to the South, Their necessities have caused the Southern people to rest their immedi. ate hopes of pecuniary prosperity on Cotton, and if the United States goes to war, their cotton will be out off from foreign markets, and must all be sold to Northern speculators or mnnu r facturors. Of course, it will not ! bring its value. It is possible, how. a over, that, in the event of a war, the r currency will be tremendously de prcoiated, so that even speculators may give from fifty to eighty cents in currency for it per pound, and so ena t blo planters to pay their dubts. The n loss, in that case, must fail on th,oso who have advanced funds to plant'irs, and cannot but result disastrorely in the end ; for they are the very !-,et class that the community can afford to n see crippled. d The Oloven Foot, 11 Read carefully the last senteneo of the following paragraph from the -Nowv York Ierald : y "The American people are prepared y firmly,truly, unflinchingly to abide by .e the demands which they have made. r, Why should we tremble .when the is British lion roars ? What have we '- to fear 1 War with England would 0, levelop our resources, would multi.. 'ply our wecalth and might leave us mistress of the seas. War With England. Air. Roebuck, in a recent speech at ~,Leeds, alluded to international affairs hin the following terms: n And as we find in the Ministry an d1 inclination to knuckle down and pros trate themselves before the Pope in d national matters, so we find that in d international relations they are In o clined to bow down and prostrate nthemselves before the power of Amie ice. We are delighted to see that Igreat people, but we don't delight to rsee their feet upon our necks. Dc. i- pond upon it that whatever they do, ta:whatever they say to conciliate the .people of America, they are deter mined n)ot to be conciliated, and no "prostration on our part wvill satisfy .0 them. They are determined to be :dominant on the earth, and, if they n can, they will be. The only chance eof our opposing the Americans is to oppose them niow. The time has gone past when we could have opposed n them more easily--I mean the time ni when I proposed It to Lord Palmnera o ton. Depend upon it, if you don't etake the present opportnnity, the etime Is not far distant when they will Y preparo to place their feet on our ae ks, and when we must follow in the e train of the United State. s Now. I was thought a very danger enos person when I ased Lord Pal. merston--not in this hall, but in the c room of the Cutler's Company--to no t knowledge the Southern States of d A merica ; but what has occurred only ,a very recently in Congress 1 You know that Cuba Is just now in rebel lion against.8pain, and at the present eO moment there is a motion in the Con 0 gress of the United States, referred to ra a committee, and proposing to ao a knoeedge the island o fCuba as a freState. Surely what is sanog for Lthe goose Is sauce for the gander. If - it would have been wrong for us to oe acknowledge the Southern States un r. der the peculiar circutustances' In >fwhich they were placed, how can it be right for Amerioa to acknowlede thme " Cuban neote enh - *a' o sa a States I But we all know the differ. once between whet is permitted to a great gentleman, and what is permit ted to a small gentleman. The Uni ted States may do what they like, but poor England, wretched England, can't be permitted to acknowledge as a free State a State that has a Legis ture, an army and victory in the field, My political testimony, then, on all these points is, beware-of' trade unions, beware of Irishmen, -had beware of the United States of Atberica. These three things include the future of England. Our Foreign Oompoei,tion a, That there is a very wide difference of opinion among the members of Gen. Grant's Cabinet in respect to our for-. eign complications. it would be folly in any one to deny. Yet I see great pains -are taken in unexpected' quarters to cover tip the fact. You were advised a week ago that a majority of the Cab. net, including the Seerntary of State, were opposed to the tprMi -eagle pso. gramme of the Seisitp;,- This majority (in all other regsw4 unexceptionally Radical), under th. infinence of the bondliolders, interposed eflectually to prevent, for the present, a collision with important European powers. The snake has been "scotohed, not killed." It is known that bth Pr :;ident aidte with -he minority'0fhis a'lvisars npon all que t.iohs of this-iort. The danger is, there fore, ohly postponed. The "recoustruolioi" of the Cbinet., h:uted at heretofore, is but a matter of time. It is beyond ques'ion that the recent extraordinary rise in gold is th logicimate result of the unsettled condi tion of the country, and e.specially of the well -founded reports of irreconcila ble antagonisms between the najorit.y of the Cabinet and the President upon questions of 'the utmost importance. The critical time has at last arrived when the holders of the public aecurties and the leaders of the Radical party are placed squarely face to face. I learn that the Secret arv of War is anxious to clear his skirts of the brew ing trouble. The position, with its sur roundings, has never suited his taste. Although Gen. Sherman has been most. ly absent., the concurrent j'trisdicti i of the mihitarv and civil power has not worked altogether to the liking of Gen. Rawlins. His principal reason, how ever, for desiring retiracy may easily be guessed when the discordant relations of his collengues is taken into considera tion. Besides, the current fazhion of putting every question to voil in the Cabinet, and abiding by tle decision so made, are not agreeable to this gentle. man's ideas of a systematic administra t.ion of govemnment. le doubtless sees inevitable confuiion, and very frequent changes and bursts tip. as the necessary consequence. His health has nothing to do with his present purposu.--Cor. Baltimore Gazette. Tuta REPUnLUAN PARTY.-The New New York Herald has been for some years a most conspictous And able ad vocate of the R,-publican party. It has particularly distinguished itself by its devotion to Gen. Grant and his admmn. istration. This fact gives point and force to the following, which we select from a late number of our New York cotemporary. It says: "The fact lhas become patent that the Republican party is the most corrupt that ever ctursed our land. During the war its leaders fiell upon the National Treasury and the pubbei credit like so niany ravenous wolves. Their jobs and robberies in the way oif army con tracts, in the building of new war ves sels that proved shells or abortions, and in everything connected with supplies, including provisions, clothing, forage, hospital stores, and so on to the end if the catalogue, for the use of thse army and s.avy, were enough to appal any othier people than the Amerienn. These del raved and hunigry lenders, with ap. pet ites for the spoils of' ollces still hmn gering in their insatinble maw.', have now fastened upon the Senate of the U nited States., and with an ave riotous ness that spurns all compromise, renson and control, demtfand that no appoint ment shall be madli without their having a finger in the selection. In the home ly phrase of a WVestern Senator, they are persistently 'dingdonging' every member of that body ; and, it is morti fying to aeknowledge. they have in that body friends and confreres as cor rnpt as themselves, 'who are ready and are employed to do their budding in making Indian treaties, allowinig enior mocus grants of land for private purpos es and engaging in other scandalous p ract ices, besides enconraging fraudu lent a ppoimatments to offci'."

The house was crowded and the audience strongly reminded us of the time when the sun of our old prosperity was bright upon us. Our young men and maidens were bright and cheerful and their sweet ringing laugh was most pleasant to hear. Everything seemed to point to Mirth and good humor, yet there was something to make us sad too. Why sing to us of that heroio struggle, of that worshipped flag now trailed in the dust. "The Conquered B3anner," is in itself a thorough inspiration, and the music seemns the very spirit of the poets soul. Miss Dargan's rendering of it is beyond all praise-the ending of every verse had a "dying fall," and the concluding lines "Touch II not, unfold iI never. I*et it droop there iurl'd forever, For the peoples hope. are dead." like the dying swan, was sweetness and sad ness. The Tableaux were good except MIary of Scotland, which we did not enderstand. The piano Solo by Miss G. would have been creditable in the most critical musical circle, we hope "Niagara'' will be repeated on the next oceasion. The duett by 1Mias 0 and Mrs. B. was as fine a piece of in strumentation, as in our city life, we have ever heard. The duett, by the youthful daugh te of Dr. Robertson, was no less a pleasure than a surprise. The plays were unusually good. Ici on Part. Frnas was partici. pated in by a French gentleman, whose acqualntance we would be most happy to cultivate. Box and Cox, our old friends were on hand as usual--and well they per formed their parts. Mr. W. L. and Win. 0. were in the principal obarao te. By the by, we would like to knew where Mr. C's. versatility will tur old friend Flshel Cohen, bek:g -I on a visit among us, lent his valuable 1 aid, and won cheers and laughter, and I a double en core, by his comio song.1 Fisbel Is an excellent fellow in his I way, but don't try to pass a night inj the same rootn with him, for If ho i don't keep you laughing all night, then, somebody's experience goes for nothing. The acting of our eccentric favorite Jack F., (we moan no offense,) mnade him still more otar Jack F. The Or*hestra, led, we believe, by gallant and the gay Major 'T. W. Woodward, was the best we have over, ended. We hope to see them at ome future time, which will be duly Ldvertised. The Ice Cream and Cakes, were ex ellent, but in the arrangement, for lisponsing, we were cabinod, cribbed, onfined, and we Iheard many deeper to individuals, lapping the Ice dream, and calling for Butler to re tore-them spoons. One word more. We would recom nend a lamp or lantern on that twist od cranky and most dangerous stair Nay. reah Irish Potatoes. Col. Henry Davis has sent us a mess >f excellent Irish potatoes of this rear's growth, raised from seed pur >hased at Mr. Thompson's, and we take )leasure in noting his success in gar ieting. We hear that others have eon eating potatoes for a week, but we will remain altogtber incredulous, intil we see them for ourselvea. We would suggest to our country rionds that such communications as 3ol. Davis has sent us, put us In bet. er-trim for discharging our duties, han the gloomy forebodings that a orrospondent has sent us, for exam le, without even a bunch of turnips 'to light the darkness of the scenery." [f such pictures of the future of the District are really true, what are lanters going to do about our sub. ;criptions ? We begin to tremble in ur shoes. Col. Davis's potatoes, owover, in a measure, reassured us. We had almost supposed that the good >ld outom of remembering the parson ind the editor had died out, but now hat cotton is to be so rare a thing aext winter, (so say the planters,) we bope that the custom will be revived, md that Col. Davis or somebody else will send us the first bale that is pack ad in the District.

Our boat at first goes down the mighty chanu'el--thro' the playful murmurings of the little brook, and the willows upon its gras 9y borders. The treeB shed their blossoms over our young heads, the Dowers on the brink seem to offer themselves to our young hands; we are hua'py in the hope and grasp eagerly at the beauties around us the stream hurried en, and still our hands are empty. Our course in youth and in manhood is along a wid sr, deeper flood, and amid objects more striking and magnificent. We ire animated ly the moving picture of enjoyment and industry passing us; we are excited by our short-lived en loyments. The stream bears us on, and joys and griefs are left behind us. We may be shipwrecked, but we can riot be delayed :for rough or smooth, ~he river hastens toward its home, till bhe roar of the ocean is in our ears, nd the waves beneath our feet, and bhe floods are lifted up around us, und wre take our leaves of earth and ts inhabitants, until of our further royage there is no witness save the [nfinite and Eternal."
