Mr. Greeley writes from New Orleans
that cotton and corn were never so backward
at this season before. Corn is likely to suffer
from drought, while cotton is exposed to utter
destruction from worms. To-day the prospect
of the average Southern planter is decidedly
not cheering.

The Alexandria (Va.) Gazette mentions
the novel suicide of a little girl twenty-one
months of age, the child of Mr. Wm. Dea-1
vers,.about nine miles below Alexandria, on
the Pohlick road. The child held her breath
while in a pet, as children frequently do, and
died, although she was perfectly well before j
the crying fit An effectual way to prevent
unfortunate results of this kind, is to throw 1
cold water in the face of the child as
soon as it begins to hold its breath. The i
shock of the water will make it gasp, and i
necessarily force it to take its breath, as well J
as divert attention from the fit of anger.
A novel suit was tried in Connecticut
recently?Miss Susie Evans against Curtis i
Cboper, on a contract made fifteen years ago,
Cooper gave her an ewe lamb and its increase
until she was twenty-one years of age, in consideration
of a gold watch key. The suit was
brought before Justice Newell to recover the
sheep or their equivalent. The evidence show- j1
ed that the increase was to be in ewe lambs, ; i
and that the natural increase of a flock of
sheep would double every year. According
to this estimate, Miss Susie would have at the j
end of fifteen years 18,064 ewe lambs, which,
at four dollars per bead, woul4 amount to
$64,526. Justice Newell heard the evidence,
and like a wise man, reserved his decision.
The United States Circuit Court in Savannah,
Judges Wood and Erekine, rendered
a decision which is of general importance. A
promissory note, made payable to bearer, was
given in a business transaction between two
citizens of Georgia, and afterward went into
the hands of a citizen of another State, by
whom suit was brought against the maker.
Defendant offered to prove that the transaction
w?La^ot bona fide and for a valuable consideration^
ut for the sole purpose of giving
jurisdiction to the United States Courts. The
Court excluded the testimony, holding that a ;
note payable to bearer implied an intention
of the contracting parties that it should be
sued by any holder for the tiiite being. _ ^
Hon. J. J. Chappell, formerly a distinguished
citizen of South Carolina, died near

was licensed as an attorney at law in the
spring of 1805, and settled in the citv of Co- i
lumbia. In the year 1808, he was elected a i
member of the House of Representatives of j
the State of South Carolina, and held the po-1
sition for several terms. He was also chosen <
Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the
State University. In October, 1812, he was i
elected a member of Congress from the Co- |
lumbia District, and in May, 1813, took his
seat in the extra session called by President 1
Madison to provide the ways and means for :
conducting the war with Great Britain. He 1
served in Congress for five sessions, having
been re-elected in 1814.

THE FORT MLL4?Iltf.ILUX.?
Last week, mention was made in "bur collmns,
of a highly colored story published in the ,
Columbia Union, in relation to "Ku-Klux" j
>perations at Fort Mill in this county. As we i
:hea believed, the story turns out to have but ]
ittle foundation, the informer of the Union (
laving attempted to make a mountain of con- 1
siderable size fVom a very small mole hill. {
1 gentleman at Fort Mill, writing to us on ,
private business, under date of the 24th in- $
itant, gives the following version of the affair:
"Doubtless, ere this, you have heard the
mrrent report in regard to the O'Connell af- *
air, viz: that a number of men went to his
louse in open dajrlight, without disguises, and
breed him to resign the position of Trial Justice.
The story is an infamous lie, gotten up
br political purposes. Two of our citizens?
3apt. S. E. White an^ J. H. Faulkner?went ,
JO O'Cfennell and agked him to resign,.which L
iilliiui to demand so expressed himself
;npre8enceuf mom. oj|i tsz u
Mills and surrounding country, and at that
meeting voted for another Trial Justice to be
ippointed." ; \
"NEGATIVE liVlDENCE."
The proceedings of a public meeting held {
it Fort Mill on Monday last, and the extract '
if a letter which we give from a gentleman of (
indoubted veracity residing at that place, ]
would seem to be a sufficient reply .to the de- j
donating fulmination of the Columbia Union '
if Monday, without further allusion to the
subject The Union insinuates that we apply
the term "sensation" to simple news, and de- j
Ses any journal in the State to point out a ,
single instance where it has published the oc- j
iurrence of an outrage that has not happened. ;
It would be a work of supererogation to point
tbe editor ot the union 10 nis own paper ui .
the 22ndf where, as we truthfully stated last
week, it published, under quite a display of
capital letters and sensational headlines an
account of supposed Ku-Klux operations in j ^
the vicinity of Fort Mill, which all theevi- i ,
Jence in the case clearly proves never occurred.
This, according to the Union's definition (
jf the word, may be news; but we respectfully
submit that in its zeal for disseminating
news, it sometimes suffers itself to overgo the
proper bounds, and arrogates to itself for en- j,
terprise and talent, qualities which the public j
regards only as the most unsophisticated verdancy.
,
We decline to make a statement until we 1
have ascertained and satisfied ourself of the
factsin the case, which course our astute contemporary
terms giving negative evidence. ,
The Union jumps at conclusions from hearsay
and irresponsible rumors, and bringing into re
quisition all the job type in his office to give ef- (
fective headings to his statements, gratulates
himself upon the affirmative evidence thereby j
supposed to be conveyed. Applying his own ,
language, with a single amendment, "What ,
a ridiculous position for a newspaper to as- j
sume!"?and how much more ridiculous is it' 1
I 1
in the Union to express surprise at our not j s
having heard of an affair that never took !;
place until we read it in his own veracious
columns!
THE CIVIL WAlTlN FRANCE. 1
Unless new complications shall arise among 1
the adherents of Thiers, who is at the head of
the. legitimate government of France, the
3trife, which for several weeks has been raging 1
with such fearful cruelty among these strange 1
people, may be said to be virtually at an end ,* 1
but not without a erreat destruction of proper
ty and treasure.
The government troops entered Paris meeting
with feeble resistance. The Communists, 1
perceiving their inability to contend with the (
entering forces, commenced firing the city in- i
discriminately. The losses of the Communists
were fearful, the troops giving them no :
quarter, and many of the ringleaders, who !
most everywhere. It is reported that Berger-!
et himself applied the match to the Tuilleries,
after having steeped the floors in petroleum.: i
The Church of St Germain aux Erreurs is j
burned, and the Palace of Justice destroyed, j!
Blood runs in the gutters, and dead Nationals ,
are to be seen everywhere. Many of the,
Nationals who have hidden are found, brought
oat and shot immediately. The slaughter of
them has been frightful, for since Tuesday the
Vereaillists have been killing all prisoners, i
The intention of the insurgents was evidently
to totally destroy the city. It 1b estimated
that one-fourth of Paris is destroyed.
It is calculated that there are 50,000 dead
bodies in the houses and cellars of Paris,
many of them women and childten. Executions
are constant. It is said the women were
perfectly furious during the fighting.
Bv the latest telegrams, we are advised that
fighting continued all day Sunday; but MacMahon
now declares himself absolute master
of the city. The loss of the Versailists during
the struggle in Paris is 2,895. As a sanitary
measure it is proposed to burn the dead bodies
in the city. Executions were progressing
on Monday. From fifty to one hundred were
shot at a time; and nearly every member of
the Commune was executed almost immediately
after being captured.
DAVIDSON COLLEGE.
We have received the annual catalogue,
of Davidson College. This institution is un
der the control and management $f the Presbyterian
church. It is strictly denominational
in its proclivities still, like all other
denominational colleges, it is open to all. It
has six professors and one tutor in languages.
The expenses of the institution, which is a
considerable item these times, are moderate.
The absolute expenses are put dowp at two
hundred dollars; the other expenses depend
on the nature and home training of ([he student.
The course of instruction, as laid down
in the catalogue, ^thorough, aj)d present^
some new features. The New Testament, in
Greek, is mode a text-book through the entire
course. Although the Greek of the New
Testament cannot be called classical in the
strict sense, still boys ought to study it, that
they may master its idioms, and especially
that they may imbibe its heaven-born morality.
There have been one hundred and six
students in attendance during the present
college year, six of whom are from York

THE CLERGY AND THE MILITARY.
Col. Lewis Merrill, commandant of the military
post at this place, has kindly furnished
us with a copy of the subjoined correspondence
between several of the ministers of the
gospel of our town and himself. The spirit
which dictated the offer on the part of the
ministers is commendable in the highest degree
; and the courteous manner in which the
Dffer is accepted by Col. Merrill, reflects credit
upon him as a gentleman, and indicates his
Stness for the position he occupies. The following
is the correspondence alluded to, which
fully explains itself:

A Healthful Sign.
Our Columbia contemporaries are just
now diverting themselves and the public by a
little game of nicknaming each other, which,
though a naughty practice at the best, is, ns
pursued by them, much less offensive to ears
polite than were the epithets so lavishly bestowed
upon each other by a few of the-a?i*?
ble gentlemen of the State press during the
late gubernatorial canvass. The Phoenix has
dubbed its neighbor the "Ku-Klw Reporter
and the Union, not to be out done in civility,
has generously returned the compliment, by
kindly designating the Phoenix as the "Farmer's
Almanac" Such specimens of civility.^
the State Capital indicate a healthful sign;
and whether the titles bestowed respectively
be appropriate or not, like the old lady's prescription,
if they do no good, they can do no
harm.
Crop Prospects in Sonth Carolina. 4?w
From nearly every section of the State,
the reports received in relation to the condition
of the growing crop, are of an unfavorable
character. In Darlington, the cotton crop
has suffered considerable damage from the
cold rains. Much of it has died out, and that
which remains looks unpromising, and will
rpnnirA Inn or and careful attention to recover
"1 o
fully from the damage which it has sustained.
In Williamsburg, cotton is dying out from the
effects of the cool weather, which, taken uf
connection with the general bad standi will
totally destroy the crop in many instances.
Corn is unusually small, but bears a jtfcltlky:
color, and betokens a good crop. In
cotton has been ."crioasly
weather. Many farmers are without "stands"
and are still replanting. Tbo ChestOrilqWer
says the cotton crop has been severely thro*
aged in that county, replanting being napessary
in some instances. The cotton crop! on
grey lands in Union county, has been Injured
considerably, while upon the red lands little
injury has been done. General complaint is
made throughout the State, of injwy-t?rthe
wheat from the fly and blade rust.
Challenge to Governor Caldwell.
We briefly stated in our column <6t
North Carolina news, last week, that Hon.
Josiah Turner, of the Raleigh Sentinel, h|9
gone to Columbia, from which place tosend a
challenge to Governor Caldwell. Th6 ahSer4
cation originated from the following patagraph,
which appeared in the Sentinel ten days
i ago:
"It is said that Governor Caldwell's biothI
er-in-law declined to allow the GowaraftHK
i make him a railroad director. Whatwillthe
j Governor do when the family turn agaii>j&
him?" . JTo
this, Gov. Caldwell, responded through
the Telegram, closing his communicatioirwith
the following language:
"I now wash my hands of this lying and
filthy slanderer, and beg pardon of eVerxdecent
man in the State for having noticealunr
at all, and promise that no matter'what he'
may hereafter say of me I shall treat him
with silent contempt, relying upon the good
sense of the public to put only such confi-i
denco in his statements as the emanation* of
Josiah Turner's scurrilous pen are entitled-to."
j This, according to the "code," left Turner
no alternative but to fight or run. So, ac|
companied by Gov. Vance, B. S. Guion, and
jH.'C. Jones, hq^ame to tl)is State and sent
IP&ck it challqil^*td the Governor, which,
inside from any other consideration, the laws

letter received last week:
"I heard rather's good story to-day, or
your contribution to the Long Island Historical
Society, as follows: It seems you broke a
part of one of your power presses, and doing
it up carefully in an old doth or duckbag,
.you sent the broken piece to the faotory to be
duplicated. * Mr. A. S. D., manager of the
establishment, examined the bag, and discovered
it to be one which had done good service
for the mess of a South Carolina regiment
during the war. Being an antiquary of the
nMwt positive stamp, and a member of the
aforesaid Society, the bag was carefully cleaned,
and presented as a trophy; and as such,
it hangs in historical splendor beside Indian
scalping-knives, canoes, fossils, &c., and credited,
we understood, to yourself. So you have
unwittingly become a contributor to the most
radical historical body in this country, every
member of which is an admirer of the Rollins

WASHINGTON ITEMS.
The Washington Chronicle stfites that Hon.
A. S. Wallace has returned to that city from
a recent visit to Pennsylvania.
The Senate has finally ratified the recent
Joint High Commission Treaty, by a vote of
50 in favor to 12 against. This settles the
Alabama claims and the fisheries question,
so fer as it can be done by the high contracting
parties acting in their National capacities.
President Grant, on the part of the United
States, has signed the treaty, and we suppose
. nothing now remains but for the arbitrators
to arrange the details. It is said that Secref
tary Fish will shortly retire from tho Cabinet
and'be appointed a member of the tribunal
of arbitration, which is to meet at Geneva.

Governor Scott, who arrived in "Washington
on the 26th, had a long interview with
President Grant on the next day. He said
there was no necessity for puttiug the State

state of feeling among the better class of citizens
to put down Ku-Klux organizations.
Gov. Scott left for New York on Friday night
on business connected with the South Carolina
bonds.

THE FOHT MILL AFFAIB.
Fort-Mill, 8. C., May 28, 1871.
Mr. Editor :?In order that the character
of this community may be ^properly vindi-1
catedagainst the false statements contained
in the columns of the Daily Union, of the
22nd instant,- in. reference* to the resignation
of the Trial Magistrate of this township, we
herewith send you for publication aq abstract
of the nfinutes of the proceedings of a publid'
"meetingjof citizens helc&at this plane inreferpated
in the meeting, but evinced a becoming
public spirit in refer*jnoe to the selection ; and
nomination of a projter andzcompetent person
as his successor. ,, . . .
The charge contained in the Union is
doubtless a wilful fabrication and perversion
of the truth for political effect, and but for the
public good would fbe wholly unworthy of
notice; for it is well known here that Mr.
J0'Connell not only of his own freewill resigned
the office, but likewise expr^sed hjs gratification
at beiqg able to avail himself of .the
opportunity of so doing, stating that it had
been a position'of much perplexity and anoyance,
with very little profit
We can, if necessary, furnish further evidence
to prove the falsity of the slanderous
statements contained in the Union; but at
present deem it unnecessary to say more.

what shall we teach our girls ?
As soon as girls go through Webster's spelling
book, the multiplication table, and Smith's
grammar, it is generally believed by anxious
parents that it is time for them to begin to
take on someof the accomplishments, so-called.
This is known as the cramming system.
Teachers of girls have fallen into this in order
to gratify the aforesaid anxious parents.
Girls grow rapidly, and their education must
be hurried, so that they may "come out" before
they reach the advanced age.of sixteen;
The result of this cramming is that women,
know less of mathematics and music, French
and drawing at thirty than they do at sixteen.
They do not progress. Their school studies
are distasteful because they were superficial.'
. Their whole education, has been - a sham, and-j

to build on it Parents and teachers and society
are all at fault in this matter. These
girls should not be hurried. Give then) good
teachers and plenty of time, and impress on
them the necessity of doing everything well.
Mistakes are often made by forcing music on
girjp whether they have any inclination or talent
for it or not. Music they must learn; it
is the very thing. This one and that one are

not be out of the fashion. And so they are

yet. Study your daughter's peculiarities
of mind. If she will do little with
music, let music alone. There are many other
things which can be taken up. One may
show a taste for pictures and drawing. Give

more agreeable and useful member of society

Sometimes a girl has a fine voice for reading.

consent to read aloud for a few friends. Let
teachers insist on more thoroughness, and let

the standard of female education may be j
