We are glad to nee that the Newber ry Observer entirely concurrs with ns in the opinion wo have frequently ex- preened, that the Citadel Academy is an unnecessary luxury and the money for its support had better begiven to the £>outh Carolina C^ollege. The course pf study tliere pursued is too angular, it only approximates completeness in pne single direction, and that is j mathematics. ] We havo no opinion of the system, because tlicye is no symmetry about it. A boy is fur better equipped for the general business purposes of life who passes through the entire course of study taught at the Charleston High Hchool, than one who has grad uated at the Citadel Academy with a big diploma, aijd an immense amount pf fuss and feathers. At the High School, the course without aiming at completeness in any qne direction,is yet so harmonized with the general principles of a prac tical education, that if notable to go Po college, the graduate is well equip ped at all points to pursue his future studies with intelligent facility,wheth er they lesul in the direction of litera ture or science, In other words, he Jins the foundation upon wiiich to build a most substantial superstruc ture for any department of knowl edge, It Is not the esse with so-called military educations. They are lopsided atraics th:t£ give especial prominence to mathematics, and the natural sciences to the dwarfing of all other depart ments of learning. The system is a cramping arbitrary curriculum based upon the idea that there is nothing equal to mathematics find brass buttons. It does very well for those who intend to make the imvy and finny their life-time occupations, but for the professions or even for the or dinary business purposes of life it is not the thing, because pot sufficiently Comprehensive. The school ims come to grief, just as was expected, under the management pf Colonel Thomas, and wo think, this is an excellent time to wipe it out of existence, and increase the appro priation for the South Carolina College b<et the barfat-’k^ he sold by the State to the Cjty of Charleston fora station fiouse, and theq Jet us all resolve that the Soutli Carolina College shall he made an institution of learning, which wo can all sustain with a thrill pf genuine State pride. Exposition? Number of Monthly Kepoyt pf Department of Ag riculture of South Carolina, August, 1$85. We havp received from the Pepart- ment, a copy of this very interesting pumber, devoted entirely to a state ment of South Carolina's contribu tion to the New Orleans Exposition. The opening article from the Com missioner ex plains the work of organ ization of the great Industrial Expo sition, and also that of our State made under direotiop of the Legislature. After spvpval meetings of the Board pf Agriculture, held for the purpose pf devising means for having the re- aourccs of the State exhibited at the Exposition, and for consultation as to fhe details, the work was then or ganized with the fpllowing force: “Mr. Jf. W, Bavenel, of Aiken, was assigned to the Botanical Depart ment; Mr. Iy. W. Sims, of Columbia, to the Horticultural; Mr. Arther li. Guerard, of Charleston, the Mineral; Dr. Q. E. Munigault, of Charleston, the Department of Natural History; Mr. C. J. Huske, Superintendent of Fisheries, the collection of Fish, Mr. E. L. Koache, the special Assistant .of the Department, visited the vari ous counties, and urged upon the peo ple tho importance of organized etlort for the formation ot the State’s exhib it. The ooilection of agricultural speci mens was undertaken by tho Com missioner,” Then follow the series of articles il lustrative of the different branches of file exhibit: “Soutli Carolina’s Wonderful Agri cultural Itesourqes,” by J. J. Dargan; ^‘Horticulture in South Carolina,” by U. M. Sims; State Collection of -‘Woods,’” by H. W. Ravenel; “The Agricultural Grasses of the State,” iby H. W, Ravenel; “The Manufac turing Industries of the State,” by JI. P. Hammett; “The Phosphate and Mineral Resources of the State,” by A. R. Guerard; “Introductory Re marks on the Natural History ami ..Collection from the Museum of .Charleston College,” by G. E. Mani- gault; “Fish and Fisheries of Soutli ^Carolina,” by C. J, Huske. Then conies the announcement of the Agricultural Society of South Carolina, at .Charleston, of the open ing of the .entire New Orleans Ex- hitit from this State, in Charleston, on November 25th, 1SS0, with the list of commissioners, <te. The last eight pages are devoted to .full eatalpgues of the whole State Ex hibit, stating every article sent, by ;Wlioni, and from what locality. Accompanying the descriptive text, are engravings taken from photo graphic viewsof various objects as they stood at the exposition. This issue for August is about double the usual size of the Monthly Reports, and the manner of setting .it up is very creditable to the Depart ment. The groat variety and abun- .dance of our natural resources, the wealth pf our agricultural products, and the progress made in manufac- ,taring industries, will probably cause iJis much surprise to our people as ..there .display at New Orleans, did to outsiders. In the language of one of .the articles—“It is doubtful if a single .$outh Carolinian who visited Ids Plate’s exhibit at the New Orleans Exposition, did not feci a just sense of p/i'le as lie Examined tae specimens of its resources and products; nor was there one who vas not surprised at their number, variety and excellence; or that d'd not ‘specimens of each agricultural, mechanical ami manufacturing product Unit he did not know existed, or was produced in tiie State.” “Grant's Memorial.* what •diull it be? is dlseiiased in the .September mini beroftbe North American Review, by Launt Thompson, Earl Gerhardt, O. It. Warner, and Wilson McDonald, sculptors; W, H, Beard, painter; Calvert Vuijx and Henry Van Brunt, architects; and Clarence Cook, art critic. This symposium is sure to at tract wide attention at this time, wh'.n tiie desire is so general to erect a monument to Grant that shall be worthy of the man, tho nation and American art. The same number of tiie Review contains a consideration of the question, “.Shall our National Banking System be Abolished?,’ by George S. Boutwell, F. J. .Scott, Dana Horton, and Edward H. G. Clark. “Ouida” contributes an essay on “The Tendencies of English Fiction,” and Elizabeth Stewart Phelps writes on “TheGreat Psychical Opportuni ty.” But the most readable article in the number is ex-Sergcnt-at-Arms French’s “Reminiscences of Famous Americans,” wiiich is a series of de lightful anecdotes about the famous war Senators. Mr. French is writing a book of these remiimscenees. If it equals this forestallment in the Re view, it will be one of the famous works of modern literature. The Charleston McKnight murder case is engrossing a large share of public attention. The preliminary examination of Daly, a white man, and Divine, a negro, lias been allowed a latitude which is remarkable and unprecedented. On Saturday last Weber, a dectective belonging to the Pinkerton Agency, was kept dpon the witness stand for seven hours, and his examination not completed. Su- lieifor Jervey represents the State and the Hon. G. Lamb Buist is counsel for the accused. Ont correspondent Tommy Clifton, asks questions concerning violations of the liquor laws, which are too self-evident to require a serious an swer. If he knows of such cases he should invite the co-operation of oth er good citizens, and promptly report the facts to the proper authorities. THF PROGRESS OFTJ1E CHOLERA An Appalling Record Yesterday— Nearly Six Thousand New Cases in Spain. Maprid, August 14.—In Granada the cholera is increasing fearfully. In tho province outside of the city there have been reported to-day 218 deaths from the disease and 4S5 new cases, and in the city 213 deaths and 453 new cases. , «. Popular agitation against sanitary interference has been renewed in Se ville. The local authorities have all resigned and the shops are closed, No business is being done and the scourge <ltt LI ■ M — .. A gratifying decrease is reported in the number of cholera cases in Madrid to-day. In the capital there were 19 new cases and 11 deaths, and in the province 72 new cases and 28 deaths. In Saragossa the epidemic is de creasing slightly. In Granada tiie condition is terrible. Many doctors are dying. Whole streets are infested with the scoqrge, by which entire families have been carried away. The total number of deaths in the infected provinces since tho outbreak of the epidemic is 57.090, and it is es timated that 00,000 persons have lied from tho kingdom. The Gazette says that .during tin* past twenty-four hours 5,000 new cases of cholera and 1,950 deaths from the disease were reported throughout all .Spain. During that period 4? new cases and 88 deatiis were reported in this city. The aspect of allairs is becoming more serious here, the epidemic having appeared in the Founding Hospital and other public establishments and in the best quarters of the city. Cholera in Marseilles.

French Doctors on Cholera. Paris, August 14.—Tiie medical section of the French Science Associ ation, sitting at Grenoble, has de clared that cordons and fumigations are useless and that the cholera should be stopped on its entrance at the Red Sea. MUZZLING THE DRESS. The Colombian Government Finds it has Undertaken too Rig a Job. Panama, August 13.—The editor of the Star and Herald received a notification the other day to tiie ef fect that he should publish no more wan news or matter relating to Government affairs unless tiie same was direct Irom the different secreta ries ot the Government in the public departments to which such matter related. The reason allegod was that tiie sheet was hostile to the Govern ment, and martial law allowed the latter to muzzle the press. The Star and Herald published this notifica tion and informed its readers that hereafter no news ofany sort relating to Colombian affairs, either official or otherwise, favorable or unfavorable, would be admitted to its columns. Denied the right of free speech, no official utterances would be allowed space in its columns. The movers against free press seriously contem plated suppressing that paper but they were told that it belonged to an American company and that they would consult the best interests of the country bv leaving it alone. Christians Murdered- Paris, August 11.—Further advices from Tonquin say that the Bishop of Qninlion reports that over 1,000 Chris tians have been massacred in the Provinces of Biendinli and Phygen.

A young Irish girl, only two weeks landed in this coun try and employed for the last ton days by a farmer in the suburbs of Cam den, became violently ill on Wednes day and died in less than two hours. A physician gave a certificate of death from congestion of the brain induced by cholera morbus. Tiie coroner and the physician who was called to attend the girl express the opinion that the symptoms were those of true Asiatic cholera. The girl died before the physician left her bed side.

Gordon related an incident of his experience in New* York which appeared to have touched him very deeply. He was complimented in the place by being invited to act as aide first upon Gen. Hancock’s staff. When lie called to report for duty he was handed an order which directed stall officers to take their positions in the line according to rank. Gen. Gor don was embarrassed when he read this. He had held one of the highest offices in the Confederate army, but under the existing order of things lie had no rank. Ho he solved the vexed question of his position by going modestly to the end of the line below every one of the regular army officer*?’ down to the humblest. But lie was not permitted to remain there. An aide from Gen. Hancock came gallop ing up and directed Gen. Gordon as the rankiugofficer to take his position at the head of the staff next to Han cock himself. This recognition of ins old grade deeply touched Gen. Gor don, not that he cared anything for the position itself. He is too much of a man of the world to be moved about trifles, but the spirit of courtesy and friendliness that dictated the offer stirred his chivalrous nature to its fullest depths: Again at the tomb Gen. Gordon fell back, deciding to yield tiie place to some of Gen. Han cock’s regular military associates. But even then he was foiled in his at tempt by the watchful courtesy of Gen. Hancock. Word came quickly to Gordon that he was out of position, and lie was directed W) move up above Gen. Roger Jones and hold his place until the close of the ceremony. Retirement orUapTnm rr at iter from the Railroad Commis sion. Columbia Register. Captain Legare J. Walker has ac cepted tho appointment tendered him by Collector Jervey as Deputy Collec tor, and on Friday bade his colleagues an olfieiai adieu. In his retirement the Commission loses one who has largely contributed to whatever busi ness efficiency is to be credited to it, and who has ever been firm, conser vative and intelligent in bis views and administration of the trust committed to the Commission by the State. Col lector Jervey is certainly fortunate in being able to call to his aid a gentle man in every way so well qualified as Captain Walker to meet tire de mands which will be made upon him as the business administrator of the Collector’s office. Captain Walker returned to Charleston on Friday evening and expects to enter on the duties of his office during the present week, South Carolina ut West Point. Nows and Courier. The cadets from South Carolina at tho United States Military Academy at West Point are doing well. In the class recently graduated South Car olina had no representatives. In the present first-class John A. Towers, of South Carolina, the only representa tive from South Carolina, in a class of eighty-three members,stands eighth on the "list. In the present second class, which consists of seventy mem bers, John M. Jenkins, of this State, is seventh, and T. Q. Donaldson is thirtieth. Thomas S. Lucas was on sick leave during the exaTnination and therefore could not be examined. In the present third class Henry Jer vey, of Soutli Carolina, stands first, and M. C. Butler, Jr., thirty-sixth, in a class of eighty-two member*. In the picsent fourth edass the applicants^ have just been examined, and of course, tliere is no standing given. These ratings are taken from the of ficial register of the Academy. $ ggQSO i&DE!
