Advices from Nicaragua state that the ravages of the cholera have been distressing. Seven hundred and ninety-four deaths are reported in the * district of Leon. Whole villages on the north - coast were swept away. Cases along the transit route seem to be sporadic, but even this alarming epidemic had passed into Costa Rica, where two hundred ranches among the Mosquito Indians were stripped of inhabitants. A man died of cholera at a hotel in Paris, during the late visitation of the disease; the proprietor of the hotel entered an action against his executors for two thousand francs, as damages for the injury his establishment had sustained owing to the contagious character of the malady. The court deliver? judgement, ordering the payment of the ordinary bill for the expenses, but only allowing 800 francs for the injury done to the establishment by the fact of the death. The Reduction in the superfluous clerks employed in the War Department continues. It ier ' stated that in the Bureau devoted to the exchange of prisoners, the business of which is almost closed up, the cierks have been informed that the funds ' n trrViin'k tVinT. Viotta V*Apn liprptnfnrp nflirl ar*? very nearly exhausted; and those who desire to remain in Government employ, will find it necessary to enlist in the army, and be detailed for clerk duty. General Grant is determined, in his administration of the War Department, to do it as eco- , nomicaDy as possible. It is rumored that Gen. Pope will soon issue a stringent order, restraining hens from setting on pure white eggs, and all whose broods are not equally composed of black and mongrel chicks will be exiled; black pepper is to take the place of red; black mustard ana brown cabbages must be the only kind raised in gardens; abolishing and declaring obsolete the word "'hill," substituting "eminence" and "high mountain" for it, and pig raisers are forbidden to have ' 'Chester county whites'' in their styes. American coin is quite plentiful abroad. It is reported that nearly all foreign countries, especially the British Colonial Possession on this continent, are flooded with American coin. In Canada silver is so abundant as to be regarded a decided nuisance, which the authorities and people are discussing measures to abate. At a special meeting of the London, C. W., Board of Trade, held a few days since, a resolution was passed urging merchants and others to take American silver at four per cent discount, until something definite is done with regard in thp matter, ?? General Grant has issued an order that will strip the feathers of a great many officers who strut in the gorgeous plumage of volunteer rank. He construes the Acts of Congress on the subject to mean that the volunteer rank of officers holding commissions in the regular army shall be duly entered upon the army register. But no officer of the regular army will be officially addressed by any other than the title attached to his lineal or brevet laujk JL1I tuc Jl&guiai aiuiJ , auu uu VUIVA/I nui nuai any other than the uniform prescribed for his lineal or brevet grade in the same. General Pope, Commander of the third Miltary District, having been communicated with in reference to the report that he intended to issue an order staying the collection of debts, replies "no conceivable circumstance could induce me to interfere with the general business of the State, or the relations of debtor and creditor. The only orders issued, or to be issued, are such as are considered ::*l necessary to the execution of the Reconstruction * Acts, which do not warrant violent changes in the ordinaiy course of civil business. The people must look for relief to the State Convention. I do not consider it in my province to adjust such matters." A curious experiment was recently tried by two inhabitants or Vienna, between whom the question arose whether man or woman had the most vanity.

In an hour they had counted out of one hundred women, eighty who had stopped to look at themselves, and out of one hundred men, ninety-five who paused to admire their faces. The New Fork Tribune, the most ultra neSo paper published in the United States, gives e following facts for the consideration of the freedmen : ^ There are 12,000,000 of people in the South, whereof at least 8,000,000 are whites. There is ample room there for 50,000,000 more, < and crowds are flocking in, a. J of them whites.? Europe is sending us a full thousand per day. and the South proffers them cheap land, a genial clime, and employment for every sort of industrial capacity. Now that a good harvest has delivered the South from famine, and her reconstruction is in rapid progress, there is no region on earth that should attract so many immigrants. . Twenty years hence she will have 25,000,000 to 30.000,000 of people, whereof the blacks will pfobably number 5,000.000 or 6,000,000. Unless all the laws which have hitherto governed the increase of population are subverted, the whites of the South must increase faster than the blacks by at least four to one. Not that the blacks will fail to increase also, but thev are nowise recruited by immigration, and cannot be. Africa sends forth no voluntary emigrants; the slave trade is on its last legs; and no negroes are coming to this country from any quarter. How, then, is it possible that the 4,000,000 of blacks in this country should overbear the 8,000,000 of whites in the South, with the millions on the point of flocking thither?" EDITORS: JAS. E.

Our readers will remember that an order was issued by the President, on the 17 th ult, relieving General Sheridan from the command of the 5th Military District, and appointing Major-General Thomas, as his suocessor. General Grant, as Secretary of War, ad interim, promulgated the order. Owing to physical disability, General Thomas was excused from compliance with this order; and on the 27th ult, the President in another or- ] der directed Gen. Hancock to assume command of Sheridan's District, and transferring the latter ' officer to the Department of Missouri. This order, it is stated, General Grant, declined to enforce, . upon the ground that as Commander of the Army, he was to some extent responsible for the execu- ( tion of the Reconstruction Acts, and that no Dis- ' trict Commander could be relieved by the order of the President, Affairs remained in this attitude ' for a day or two; and the probability of a split up 1 of the most disastrous oharactcr, became hourly ' more imminent Opportune circumstanoes, how- 1 ever, induced General Grant, at this time to alter 1 his opinions as'to the powers of the Executive, 1 and the necessary orders were promulgated through 1 the war office. On the same day, an order was is- * sued by the President, similar in its terms, relicv- ' " 1 " " j _c o j i mg general oickukb iroiu iue uuuiuiuuu ui tuc ^uu District, and assigning Major-General E. R. S. Canby, to the vacant command. The latter officer has, by this time, probably, entered upon the discharge of his duties at Charleston. In the original order issued by Grant, assigning Thomas to the command of the 5th District, he was instructed "to continue in force all orders made by his predecessor, unless directed to alter and revoke the same, by the Commanding GenereraL" In the second batch of orders issued? those assigning Hancock and Canby to vacant commands?this important paragraph is omitted. The President, in his order of the 27th, however, forestalls the necessary continuance of obnoxious orders, by empowering the new Commanders merely to "exercise any and all powers conferred by Acts of Congress upon District Commanders, and any and all authority pertaining to officers in Command of military departments." The immediate cause of General Sickles' removal, grew out of a refusal on his part to rescind so much of Order No. 10, as conflicted with the exercise of authority by the United States Courts. Sickles asked for delay until he could argue the matter, and this being deemed an act of insubordination in a military officer, he was at once relieved. As his rank was only in the volunteer service, it is presumed that he will be mustered out of service, as Major General, and assume the duties of his commission as Colonel in the regular army. These important changes in District Commanders, have not occurred without their attendant shve of excitement to the country. They have developed another of the evils of these military satrapies, found in the circumstance that the orders of the Constitutional Commander-in-Chief of the army, for their removal, can only be obeyed at the imminent peril of a revolution. / NEGRO EDUCATION. The indifference of the white people of the South to the sentiments of the negroes, is really surprising. Little, if any, desire is shown to acquire an influence over their minds, or to teach them that th'e interests of both races are not conflicting. When it is remembered that the political power of this State is to be wielded by an effective majority of black voters, this indifference becomes unwise, not to say criminal. It is indeed strange that men of intelligence are willing to sit calmly down and witness the clothing with power of an ignorant race, without an effort to instruct them as to their new duties, or to secure that power for the benefit of right principles aud proper objects. As things now are, the negroes, without the slightest conception of the purpose for which the ballot system is intended, see in it only a means by which they imagine they can get property. Nor * i . ? ii j A i _u!_. t are tney mucn to De Diamea ior noiamg sucn opin- j ions; for they know nothing at all about the nature of government, and the idea of voting themselves ( rich has been held out to them as a bait, by par- t ties hostile to the Southern white race. This idea J having been seized by their minds, how can they be expected to believe it false, unless those who ^ know better undeceive them ? If Southern men ( scornfully hold themselves aloof, refuse to explain kindly and patiently such errors, and stupidly "let things rir>"?whi1? Radicals send out energetic emissaries, who use every effort fo wiri j the confidence of the negroes, the result can be < easily fore-told. There is yet time for the restora- , tion of the old confidence between the races, if it is j only attempted. But so long as one party cajoles, while the other studiously neglects the negro vote, , it is not in human nature for them to forsake the ] former and take sides with the latter. Whatever may be said to the contrary, negroes are human beings and subject to the same rules of ; influence as the whites. They are easily won by < kindness and sympathy, or repelled by contempt ] and indifference. The only means by which the Radical party has gained converts among them, ( are to boast (falsely) of what they have done for ; them, and to show an interest (sometimes pretended 1 and sometimes sincere) in their welfare. And wherever Southern men have used the same | means, their influence is fully equal to that of Radical missionaries, and generally greater; for it i Is strengthed by the additional power of old associ- i ation. Wherever a Southerner has undertaken , the task of teaching a negro school, he has been 1 rewarded by their unlimited confidence and an af- < feetion seldom equalled by white scholars; and this < is so because they appreciate the advantages of j an education more hitrhlv than those* who have | always enjoyed these advantages. i It ought to be a matter of regret that the in- ! stances by which the last assertion is to be proved are so few. But we are convinced, from one case 1 which came under our immediate observation, that t any one who engages faithfully in the honorable work of preparing tbls hitherto untaught race for 1 usefulness as citizens, will have no cause to regret I his labors. And is it not more properly the work of S our own people than of strangers ? We are cer- c tainly more vitally interested in their becoming in- c telligent, industrious and upright members of society than all the world besides. They have been 1 thrown upon our hands, in the new capacity of political equals; their votes count for as much as ours; they are as eligible to office, and having the advantage of numbers, they are likely to be the makers and the un makers of law. Under these circumstances, common prudence dictates that we should use every effort to fit th em for their responsibilities. We are not resposible for the crime of giving the ballot to them while unfit for it, but we are compelled to bear the consequences. Our only chance for good government is to confer intelligence upon them. And for this reason, if for no other, negro schools ought to be enoouraged and sustained. The occupation of a negro teacher may be looked upon as "low," by some persons; but there is none which is more honorable or useful The Southern man who undertakes the charge of a negro school now, is do ing a favor and a service to his country; he is in a position of great influence, and if he uses that influence aright, he is entitled to the gratitude of both whites an (^blacks. v ^ t EDUCATIONAL. We have received from Rev. H. Strong, Superintendent, a catalogue of the Mayesville School, located in Sumter District, S. C. We are always pleased to have the privilege of speaking in behalf of educational institutions; and in this instanoe we are afforded additional gratification by the fact that the institution is a nsw one, that has arisen in tliese sombre days, through the energy of its principal The catalogue of students is large, embracing names from eight or ten Districts in this State.

THE MI8SI88IPPI CENSUS. A recently published census of Mississippi, taken last year, developes the following facts: White. Black. En I860 her population was 353,899 447,404. En 1866 it was. 343,469 381,288. Decrease in six years 10,439 66,116, >r three per cent decrease in the white, and 15 per jent decrease in the black population. This is a somewhat surprising result, when the losses from the casualties of war sustained by the whites, and the exemption of the blacks from those casualties, are taken into consideration. Despite he reducing powers of the battle-field, the hospital, rod the prison, the white race holds its own better han the black. Causes evidently more destructive than these, must have been in operation, to effect the more rapid decrease of the black population. What these causes are, is not easy to decide; but neglect, unoleaness and freedom from restmint ire probably some of them. Unaccustomed to jare for themselves and glorying in unrestrained license, they have not been able to keep themeeves within those bounds to indulgenoe which the laws )f health require. Immigration may possibly have recruited the white race, though we are unaware of any extiraoriinary flow of immigration to Mississippi; and of that which has gone there, a full proportion has insisted of negroes. The result in Misaauippi nay reasonably be assumed as that of the South, [f, then, the negro race is decreasing at the rate of 15 per cent in six years, or 2} per cent annually, ;beir prospect is dark indeed. So far from gov;rning the country by the "decisive ipajoritiea" so feelingly implored by General. Pope, they will toon become a mere remnant like the Indians. The true intest of the black population requires hem to cultivate the friondship of the white peo)Ie of the South. They are the natural friends of he black race. Under their care, it flourished and ncreused. But since their new friends, the Jiadi:als, took charge of the negro race, it is found to >c decreasing. These Radicals boast loudly of vhat tbey have done and are going to do for them; rnt to what does it amount, if they are wasting away inder so much kindness ? They can vote and gloy in being free; but why don't they increase by hese blessings ? Can it be possible that they acually enjoyed life more and therefore lived louger, n a state of slavery ? This cannot be, for Lincoln, md the whole host of "martyrs," said that slavery ras a sin and a curse. It must be that they are lying out generally for joy. ? MERE-MENTION. Louis Napoleon is individually in debt some six nillions of francs. General Sheridan has ap>ointcd Aristide Mary, a mulatto, to be an Aldernan of New Orleans. Ex-Provisional Goverfyr W. W.

P The Charleston papers announce that St ^ ^Michael's Church has again been struck by lightning, breaking the lightning rod in the same place that it did the last time. The current of electrici- T1 ty passed under the door, doing a few slight inju- jP ries to the pavement of the vestibule. The Mer- ^ cury thinks the door of St Michael's is not a safe ^ place in a storm. It seems a pity that the old m spire, which was the untouched target of hostile cfc batteries during a siege of four years, should now el be struck by the thunderbolts of heaven's artillery. w' Why General Siekles was Removed. The Washington correspondent of the New er York Herald, gives the following as the reasons C< why General Sickles was removed: Wl "The cause of the removal of Gen. Sickles is his ot insubordination in disobeving the positive com- , mandsofthe President^ The Order No. 10, resisting the execution of mandates of the United c!C.iwaamo in Pnvnlino ttqu voo. ^ OLiilCd UU|/lCUIu VUUIb Ul Vi ill vui uiliiuj niM ivw cinded by the President some weeks ago; and Gen. cr Grant instructed Gen. Sickles accordingly; but ?? the latter, instead of promptly submitting, ordered his subordihates not to obey the instructions for- . warded by the Attorney-General at the command 10 of the President^ and wrote a very offensive letter ccj to Gen. Grant, in which he alluded in disrespect- w ful terms indirectly to the President, and asked . for a suspension of the order until such time as he mj (Sickles) could write a defence of his course. The President, however, refuses to wait when a plain positive command is recklessly disregarded, and retires Sickles with unusual promptness. The next victim will undoubtedly bo Gen. Pope, who in a J? short time will be removed to make way for Gen. Wager S wayne." Why Gen. Sheridan was Removed. A correspondent of the Boston Pbst, recent- re ly had a talk with President Johnson, and amongst a other things inquired of him why Sheridan was 03 removed. President Johnson gave Kim the fol lowing reasons: w] "There were two good causes, but only one had in been considered; the first one was rather of a per- sh sonal character, and had been overlooked. The m telegram of the 23d of June, which was so disre- lit spcctful to the Executive, had been claimed by ti< General Grant to be a private telegram to himself of and that no official notice of its existence had ever fo vet reached the President. But the second ground ev for the removal of Gen. Sheridan was the exercise se of powers he did not possess, and the exercise of se his legitimate powers in an arbitrary and offensive manner. ~ Tasked if he would behind enough to pi designate what acts he included under the latter fe clause. He said the removal of Gov. Wells was G entirely uncalled for and unjustifiable. Governor m Wells had placed at Gen. Sheridan's disposal the fa whole civil machinery of the State to aid him in the execution of the Reconstruction Acts. Nor so had the latter ever indicated or pointed out a sin- fir fjle act or word of the Governor which 4was calcu- dc ated to embarrass him in the proper execution of re his duty. On the other hand. General Sheridan had endeavored to execute the law as a partisan and had adopted Radicalism as the only true test of loyalty. 0f His sole purpose seemed to be to secure negro su- . Ssemacy and degrade the whites, and for such con- rj: uct I deemed it my duty to relieve him from that " command. I inquired if he did not think Governor Thockmorton had attempted to thwart the General bi in a proper execution of the law. He answered all emphatically, "No, sir; the records prove the re- P< verse. The Governor of Texas also placed the ry whole civil machinery of his State at the disposal fa of the military power, and aided it in every way H possible except in the manufacture of a Radical di majority of voters and in securing negro suprema- cn cy. This was Governor Throckmorton's sinning, on/1 C-vr. V.o g?9 nphifmrilv removed hv Gen- CO nuiui uv ii-w ? ^ --? ?? eral Sheridan." U' Iron vs. Rope Ties. It will be Been from the subjoined paragraph, ^ indicating the action of New York cotton merch- de ants, that the question of iron hoops for cotton bales is no longer one of doubtful utility. The a- ^ greement to make no deduction for tare on this ac- p count, alone equalizes the advantages.

British M. P. Chased by Indians. An exchange publishes the following account f the adventures of Mr. Thomas Cave, a memsr of the British Parliament, in the Western lains: "While at Julesburg, Colonel CarHn, commandfit of the post, tendered to Mr. Cave the hospiilities of his camp and an invitation for an antepe hunt on the prairies at five o'clock next mortng. The invitation was at once accepted, and itn Colonel Carlio, his orderly, and two scouts, le member of Parliament was accompanied to the ?ld. They were not long in finding antelopes in insiderablenumbers, aDd excellent sport was had. tier a lev hours among these aotierea Deaunes, brace of wolves appeared on the scent, and Mr. ave, being finelv mounted, decided to make a ish at them, ana, after an exciting chase of two iles, came up with the cayota. He found that 3 had left his* rifle with his attendants, and turned i call them to him to procure it, when he was nofied that a band of hostile Indians were mariceuiring to cut hftn off from his party. This was ridentlv no time to fany for the Drush of the wolf, hich had been run down and exhausted. Mr. ave, therefore, reluctantly gave up the chn9e, and atting spurs to his horse soon regained his cominionn with their firearms, when a new difficulty jset them. A scout dashed up with the not very leering intelligence thatanother band of the "gensmen without hats" was approaching from an opisite direction, aud another scout came up with a milar report A council of war was at once held id the party dismounted for a stand-up fight? eing armed with the Henry repeating rifle, they oulu doubtless have rendered a good account of lemselyes, had not the Indians deemed discretion le Better part of valor, and concluded they could ie just as well a little further off. The party aciraingly returned safely to camp." THE NEGRO DEBT QUESTION. In the United States District Court, at Green- ? lie, on the 22d ultimo, Judge Bryan presiding robably the most important case was decided, 1 tat has been before any of our Courts in many jars, being a decision on the question as, to the iDMty oi persons \yno purcnasea negroes previous i emancipation. It will be observed that accord g to this decision, persons who purchased ne- 1 oes previous to the war, and have not paid for lem, are liable to do so. We find a report of the ise in the Greenville Mountaineer : Thomas R. Agnew, Assignee, vs. Simpson Bo). This was an aotion on a note given for the archase money of "a negro slave sold by Mrs. , fofford to the Defendant in 1858. and warranted 7 her at that time to be sound ana a slave for life. ; ote for $1000, interest annually, due in 1860, wag,, tsigned to Plaintiff. The defence relied upon was a failure oLwnsidation in that the negro, warranted to be a slave r life, is still alive, but had been made free. And so upon payment?the debt being sequestered by le Government of the Confederate States as the roperty of an alien enemy, was paid under coraalsion of that Government, while at war with the uited States. Hon. B. F. Perry appeared for the laintiff. The defence was conducted by Messrs. ! P. Reed and Bo bo. The case was referred to a ry and ably and fully argued by the counsel on i >th sides. ! \ In his charge, the Judge said, substantially:? he amount is small, the principle, of overwhelm- , g importance. I should gladly have escaped om the consideration of this case. The settle- 1 ent of the question, however it be settled, will j rry poverty home to some one. Great invest- ( ents lie in bonds and notes given for the pur- 1 iase money of negroes. In these, women and ' lildren have staked their all. The question is, ; ho shall bear the loss ? Poverty and hardship j ust come. In my opinion the hardship must be < irne by those who had the misfortune to be own- ; s.

Who suffered when mules i horses were taken? or cotton burnt or lifted, or , ips captured at sea? Who, but the owner of cn property ? But the laws of property, regulating the relationship of debtor ana creditor, in , e matter of mules, ships or cotton, were not abgated. Debts or balances due on.the purchase { such mules, ships or cotton, were not cancelled. ic debtors were not released. Their obligations ' main in force at this day.

I lliu excreiec ui jus ugui m cuuucui uujjiumi, lould take the fee for public uses, the seller akes do guarantee against the State; he is not ible for the acts of the State or against oonfisca>n of the United States.^ In this case, the ground defence, failure of consideration, does not therere appear to be made out; the warranty was in eiy view good at the time it was given; its subauent failure was due to causes for which the er of the negro was in no wise responsible. The other ground of defence, payment by corailson under the Sequestration Law of the Conderate Government, is equally untenable. That overnment never had a legal existence, and payent of the debt under its-regulations was therere void. Under these instructions the jury retired, and on returned with the following verdict: "We id for the Plaintiff sixteen hundred and fifty-one illars and five cents," the full amount with iuteStk OUR NEW COMMANDER.
