The late war has been followed by many strange incidents of. private fortune,- which, af? ford an mexhaustible-mine of wealth tobe worked by the novelist and romancer. One of singular and. varied nqvolty has come to our notice, which baffles the imagination in any effort to surpass it in richness and effectiveness. :We present to the novelty-loving public, for the first' time, the true and wonderful story which follows: ' . - <3oLM. L. DeMahler is the name of the hero, as the reader must confess he is after reading his adventures. - He is a native of London county, Virginia, the scion of a long and hon? ored line oi Huguenots, who first settled in that State about 200 years ago..-. He received a liberal education in Europe, returning to this country just previous- to the' opening of the conflict. He immediately raised a company of infantry, tendered his sword to the Confederate government, and, under Lee, was rapidly pro? moted for gallantry and" meritorious conduct. He received six wounds, all involving serious fractures of bones, thereby so crippling him as "to compel his retirement from the service. In 1865, when Selma was threatened by the Federals under Maj. Gen. Wilson, the Colonel, who was passing through that place, prompted by a sense of patriotic duty, assumed command of a regiment and took part in the terrible bat? tle which resulted in the capitulation of the city. Here he received his seventh and eighth wounds, each more severe than the others. One ball entered his abdomen hear the navel and came out just to the right of the spinal column; the other entered and shattered the left shoul? der, passed through both lungs, and issued un? der tne right arm. From, these he suffered se? verely, and as a consequence, of them and his other wounds, paralysis ensued. The war closing soon, he went to' Paris, and after exhausting ail the ordinary modes of treat? ment, and deriving- no benefit from them, by advice of the members of the faculty or the University of. France hetrndertook walking to obtain relief. He started from Paris in No? vember, i860, so crippled that it was with diffi? culty three-fourths oi a mile was accomplished the first day, ttnd it required four days for him to dear the suburbs -of the city. Taking a southerly direction, he traveled with much dif? ficulty through the vineyards of France and made his way to Spain. JThe exercises now began to develop the most satisfactory results, and it became evident; that a continuation: of his. tour would wholly cestore his lost health and vigor. So he traveled through Spain, the home of romance and ex? citing legends of love and war, passed'.into Ita? ly, through Southern France, taking in his route Florence, with all her learning; Rome, with all her ancient and glorious associations; . Naples, in all her loveliness, with her matchless? ly beautiful bay and awe-inspiring Vesuvius; up the western shore of the Adriatic, stopping at.Venice, and on to Trieste. From thence, making an entire circuit of Austria. Through the marshy districts of. the lower Danube, Transylvania, Gallicia, Moravia, Bohemia, down through mountainous Syria, then up, through unhappy, but proud, Poland, along the north? ern frontier of Prussia, into Hanover and the Rhine country, thence south to Switzerland and on to Verona, thus making a complete circuit of continental Europe, Turkey and Russia ex? cepted. From Verona his travels described a second, though more contracted circle, wjth Frankfort as the central or pivotal point, going through Bavaria, Saxony, Southern Hanover, Westpha? lia and the Palatinate; and a third circuit of still smaller extent, through Baden, Wurtcm berg> Franconia, the land of the Hes3, and then around, entering Frankfort from the northwest?thus making three circuits in spiral form. By this time his health was very near.y re? stored. He had contracted an insatiable pas? sion for traveling, and having exhausted all the enticing portions of Europe, he determined to embark for America. ? With this view he left Frankfort, passing through Strasburg and Paris to Havre, thence sailing for Vera Cruz, Mexico, where he landed in Fel ?ruary, 1867. From here he resumed his foot journey, going southwest, ? then north to the city of Mexico, east to Jalapa, then north? west to Queretero, San Luis Potosi and Monte? rey, striking northward to El Paso. From here his route lav northerly through New Mexico, northwest Texas, the southern portion of the Indian Territory, to Baxter Springs, and thence on to St. Louis, Mo., reaching here in July of the same year. From our city he diverged south to Mississippi,-through the Gulf States sod then along the Atlantic board, risking the principal cities as far as Aujnista, Me. From this point he struck West, following the course of the lakes as far as Minnesota. From .hence he made another circuit through the more cen? trally located States, which he had gone around in his first or border circuit, reaching St. Louis for the second time in February, 1869, where he stopped for a few days, und then proceeded northwest and made a circuit of the Terr itories east of the Rocky Mountains, going through Texas and Louisiana to New Orleans, an 1 then up the Mississippi, crossing and recrossing it at various places, to St. Louis, arriving hjre for the third time on Eriday last at 4 am. # We have thus followed'the Colonel rather minutely in his travels. To give the reader a more accurate conception of the vastness of the undertaking, it must be borne in mir d that this enormous distance (17,000 miles) was ac? complished on foot by one solitary.man during the short space of four years, and carrying an average weight of forty-five pounds. He was called upon to use almost every civilized longuc ?one night beside the bright blaze of some priucely nearth, the next at the peat or turf fire ?f the humble peasant?to-day in the home and study of the savan, to-morrow in the gilded salon, where "pleasure wakes a delight an keen and fresh as .the breath of spring," and hoping, as it were, against hope, in the effort to carry out his medical advice, traveling alone in the face of usually, unsurmountable obstacles, over remote and trackless regions, day after day, under torrid suns, or through the rigid cold or stormy winds of winter?the Colonel instances in his marvelous experiences what indomitable pluck and courageous perseverance, which nei? ther fatigue, hardship nor. pain cau subdue, may finally accomplish. Aside from the results sought for physically, | and happily found in his complete restoration 1 to health and strength, his scientific data and I practical information that has accrued to his store is well worth a life-time, to say nothing ' of his large contact with the operations of the laws of the social and moral world, as they manifest themselves among the various popula? tions of the world. The Colonel has copious" notes on the manners and customs of the peo? ple among whom he has traveled, and sketches of the most attractive scenery which it has bean his fortune to behold. Ho purposes to give .the results of his observations to the public at no distant day in the form of a book, to be illustrated from the sketches mentioned. The Colonel-is a singularly attractive man in personal appearance?such a man as you'd turn to look at again as you passed him. He is about 30 years of age, a.little over six feet high, square built, lithe and muscular, of fine physique, 4ark brown hair, with Dundreaiy whiskers and moustache a shade lighter, blue eyes and a quick, intelligent expression. He is scholarly and refined in his conversation, and altogether a- most pleasing and fascinating companion. His mind is stored with an inexhaustible fund of classic lore-arid modern Continental, Eng? lish and American literature, and a rich fund of amusing anecdote. His dress, too; deserves a note. His ordinary walking suit is made of corduroy?coat cut short, knee breeches, with woolen hose, Alpine shoes, and corduroy, cap. The Colonel, who is now at the Western House, resumes his march to-day for his home in Virginia, through Illinois and" Kentucky, to settle up his affairs, preparatory to returning West, which he intends making his permanent home, so pleased is he with our country, and so thoroughly convinced of its ultimate greatness ani importance.?St. Louis Democrat. ?o-? Watermelon Culture. J. Wesley Barr, Esq., of Edgefield, a famous watermelon raiser, writes to the Edgefield Ad? vertisergiving his plan as follows: Take a soil that is not too poor. I prefer that of a good character, with a deep sandy soil and. a clay subsoil. In February or March break the land deep with a bull-tongue or small shovel, so as not to turn under the vege? table mould. About.the middle of April break the land again deep and well, to arid across. Then lay off-each way ten feet with along old fashioned shovel plow. In each check draw out all the. loose dirt to. the depth of eight or ten inches, and,twelve in diameter. Then take one peck or ten quarts of the best, strongest and well-rotted stable (horse) manure, particularly avoiding straw or litter, and spread in thqhole. Then with the hoe walk round and round, drawing in the top soil upon the manure, avoid? ing the incorporation or mixture of earth and manure, until you have elevated a hill four inches above the_common surface, and eighteen in diameter. Upon this hill drop four or five seed, and cover one. inch deep. In clay soil it is needless to'open the hole so deep as in sandy; from four inehes to six is enough; all of the other preparations same as in sandy soil. When the seed come up, immediately break the soil around the plant; and when the third leaf begins to make its appearance, plow and hoe, thinning ,to two stalks. The work should be done so as riot to have long intervals from one working to another,carefully keeping down grass and weeds. When the vines commence to run, thin down to one vine in a hill. When the vines have run eighteen inches each way, they should be laid by with a sweep. But keep up. the hoeing constantly, being particular not'to move the.vine nor cut "the clingers, for nature sends them out for a protection to the vine against the storm. When the vines commence bearing, don't stop the hoe; work the surface underneath the vine; and to keep them bearing, it is necessary to keep working them. In this way the same vines will bear for months. I never plant more than one patch, and I generally ? have water-, melons from the 10th of July until, frost. By the above plan, I have raised, in clay land, watermelons weighing forty-odd pounds, and in sandy, sixty pounds. In 1868 I raised them to weigh as high as forty-seven pounds without enough rain from the time they bloom? ed until the melons ripened to wet a cotton handkerchief. ? -?-? ?? Robert E. Lee.?Yesterday it was reported by telegraph that General Lee would pass dou'n the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta railroad, on his way to Florida. Soon the report, spread from mouth to mouth, and by the time the train was due, 5 o'clock p. m., Columbia was alive with the joyful tidings. One and all we::e eager to look again upon the noble features, the com? manding mien, of the mighty champion of the South?the greatest man "of the age. Though' torrents of rain had been falling all day, and continued to fall?and though scarce a fourth of the crowd were enabled to secure conveyances ?yet when the train arrived, the platform and grounds adjoining the depot were thronged with a mass of eager and expectant faces Col. A. C. Haskell waited upon the General, in behalf of the citizens," and* requested his ap? pearance upon the platform?the crowd being arranged in a semi-circle around the hindmost platform of the passenger coach, so that all might see. The noble hero stepped forth, and was greeted with such a shout of joyous recog? nition as no other living man of the age could elicit. Shout after shout arose, so that the in? troductory remarks by Col. Haskell, appropri? ate to the occasion, were almoBt drowned. ;'Our first in war and in peace" he was styled, and upon this the excited throng burst forth again into prolonged hurrahs. The great man modestly raised his hat and bowed, and re? mained for a minute or two with his venerable head uncovered, then quitely withdrew inside the coach. He was, evidently, deeply touched by the manifestations of love and esteem with which he was greeted. The trembling lip and mois? tened eye spoke the emotions that swelled that breast-^so dauntless in war?so responsive to expressions of love. The General is on his way to Florida to recu? perate his health, which is very feeble, though, in appearance, he is said-(by those who were with him then) to be but little changed from what he was on that memorable day at Appo mattox. .We trust that the God of love will 'grant a speedy restoration of strength to him who is so dear to the millions of trulv Southern hearts.? Columbia Guardian, 31st ult. A Fearful Ride.?The Washington Chron? icle has the following: ''Mrs. Pollard, proprie? tress of the St. Cloud Hotel, accompanied oy a lady friend and their gentlemen escort, were out horse-back riding on Thursday evening. Mrs. Pollard rode afine, muscular, spirited an? imal, and when beyond the city limits her saddle-girth became deranged. This caused her horse to become at first restive, and after? wards frightened, concluding the engagement with a very energetic runaway. Darting off at a wild, full speed, the-fair equestrian found her whole strength insufficient to exert the least influence upon him. Mazcppa was no more powerless. For two miles he fled forward at a friglrtful rate, leaving the other three far be? hind, dashing past vehicles with reckless in? difference, and endangering his undaunted mistress' life and limbs. While at full upecd he espied the arched entrance to a cemetery* The gate was open, and through it he bounded, the rider utterly exhausted in her efforts to check him. A few more frantic leaps, and the runaway came in collision with a carriage in which sat two gentlemen, pallid with fright,for they expected every moment to witness a terri? ble accident. But it was their good fortune to aid in averting one. They succeeded in stop? ping the horse just in time to break the force of the fall of. Mrs. Pollard, who was swooning from exhaustion. Had it not been for their Providential presence, she might have been dashed to death on a grave stone. As it was, she was thrown fainting upon a grave, from which she soon recovered, and returned to the city without having received material injury. The Veloctpede Eclipsed.?A late num? ber of the Scientific American contains an illus tration and description of a new locomotive in- i vention, called a pedespeed. It consists of a pair of small wheels to do fastened on the.foot, and by their assistance, man, it is claimed, can eclipse the speed of the winged god Mercury. Thos. L. Luders, of Olncy, Illinoin, is the de? signer of this new appliance for locomotion, i Congressional Proceedings. Washington, March 29. In the Senate, the Finance Committee re? ported that the income tax continues during 1870, bat is reduced to three per cent thereaf? ter. \ A Bill was introduced preventing and pun? ishing election frauds. ' The discussion of seating Ames was post? poned in favor of Texas. The Judiciary Com? mittee was discharged from the further consid? eration of Texas. The Texas Bill then came before the Senate, and passed, with the amend? ment striking out the clause regarding the sanctity of terms of the original admission; it goes back to the House for concurrence by a strict party vote. The proceedings in the Senate to-day in the discussion on the Texas Bill were very inter? esting.- Trumbull and Sherman became quite angry. The following report will give some idea: Everything was made to give way to a mo? tion of Sherman to take up the Texas matter. It was taken from the custody of the. Judicia? ry Committee. Trumbull could see no reason for this. The Georgia Bill and case of Ames had both been under discussion for several. days, and should be disposed of. He did not see why the Senator from Ohio wished to take the- Tex? as Bill from the hands of the Judiciary. - Sher? man said he was not to be deterred from his duty by any mere feeling of etiquette. There were important reasons, hoth political and na? tional, why Texas should be admitted at once, so that the Fifteenth Amendment should be officially promulgated, and its disturbing ele? ment should be removed from our midst." He was surprised that the Senator from Illinois should seek to obstruct the will ot the majority of the Senate, and that the majority was anx? ious that the Texas Bill should.be taken up. Trumbull would like to know by what au? thority the Senator from Ohio assumed to speak for the majority of this Body. Never, since he had been in the Senate, had such an act of gross discourtesy been perpetrated towards any committee of this body, as that perpetrated by the Senator from Ohio yesterday, after he had assured Mr. Drake and the Senate that the committee would report upon the Texas Bill as soon as the Senate was ready to consider it. The majority of ^ the Senate last week had a consultation, and the Texas matter had been spoken of, but there was no indication then that they desired to discharge the Judiciary Committee from -the consideration of the bill. Has the Senator from Ohio been around and counted the Senate, that he is justified in as? suming that a majority wanted to take up the Texas Bill. The Senator from Ohio wants to have the Fifteenth Amendment proclaimed. If that Senator had stood by me, and stood by the Georgia Bill, we would have had that amendment proclaimed several days ago. Sherman said his honorable friend could not draw him into a personal controversy. It seemed to be the bent Of his mind to get exci ,ted and make personal remarks upon simple questions of order. He denied that, he had offered any insult to the Judiciary Committee, and he would not surrender his right to the motion or what he might say, and he wished him to understand this, although he certainly would not wrangle about it The wish of the, majority of the Senate was as clearly apparent to the Senator as to him, and he must say the course of the Senator and of the Committee, in resisting the desire of the' majority, was most extraordinary. When he remembered that four millions of people were to be invested with the privileges of citizenship he could not stop for. any petty feelings of etiquette.- After further desultory discussion. Mr. Sherman's motion to postpone the case of General Ames, and all other prior orders was carried by 42 to 18. The question was then taken on motion of Sherman to discharge the Judiciary Committee from the further consideration of the Texas bill; result, ayes 35; nays 15. WASHINGTON, March 30. In his message to Congress to-day the Presi? dent said that it was unusual to notify Congress by a message of-the proclamation of a consti? tutional amendment In view, however of the vast importance of the Fifteenth amendment, this day declared, passed, this departure from the usual custom is justifiable. A measure which makes four millions of people voters, who were heretofore declared by the highest ju? dicial tribunal to be not citizens and not eligi? ble to become so, is a measure of greater im? portance than any one act since the foundation of our free government. The President calls upon the newly enfranchished to ever make themselves worthy of their new privileges and urges the whites to withold no legal privileges which will tend to their advancement. He quotes some of Washington's remarks re? garding the importance of education, and calls upon Congress to take steps which will promote and make popular education; and upon the people everywhere to see that all who possess political rights shall have an opportunity to ac? quire that knowledge which shall make their share in the government a blessing instead of a danger. Tne message mentions that the fol? lowing States have ratified the amendment: North Carolina, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, J>ouisiana, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Alabama, Wisconsin', Mississippi, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada, Kansas, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Nebraska, Maine and Texas?twenty-, nine in all. The Democrats from New York and Indiana protest against their States being stated as hav? ing ratified the Fifteenth amendment. A meeting of the officers who served with General Thomas was held here to-night to make preparations to do honor to his memory. The President and his Cabinet and the diplomatic corps will be present. lo-night Judge Bradley' received a number of New Jcreeymen, including the Congressional delegation and Secretary Roueson, who called to ofier their congratulation on his appointment to the supreme bench. In the course of his reply, Judge Bradley stated emphatically that he en? teren upon the discharge of his duties without any pledges on any question whatever, and ac? tuated only by a desire to do right. The Senate confirmed Dr. Bard as Governor of Idaho. Senator Revels presented a petition from two thousand Georgians, for an appropriation for Wilberforce College, Ohio. - In the House, Cox and Banks expressed themselves as opposed to the individual disa? bility bill. In reply to a question, Banks said that as soon as the tariff question was out of the way, he would press a general amnesty bill. The bill admitting Texas, as amended by the the Senate, passed by a vote of 130 to 50. Arnell, from-the Committe on Education and Labor, reported a bill to allow the school trus? tees in the State of Massachusetts to enter lands for school purposes under the Homestead law, allowing them to take in, fence and improve fifty acres for each school. The bill was sent to the Speaker's table. Arnell, from the same committe, reported a bill providing that the office of education in the Department of the Interior, shall be hereafter named the Bureau of Education and that all unexpended funds in the Treasury shall be ap? plied to the account of the Freedmen's Bureau for the education arid support of refugees, and that freedmen shall be transferred to the Bu? reau of Education, having special reference to aiding in the erection and establishment and. usefulness of common schools. The bill also provides for the transfer to the War Depart? ment, the other duties of the Freedmen's Bu? reau, thus discontinuing that bureau altogether. Arnell, in explaining the bill, eulogized the Freedmen's Bureau, its chief, General Howard, and Mr. Elliott, member from Massachusetts, who was father of the bureau. McNealy, in minority of the committee, offered a substitute to the bill, which provides for the abolishing of the Freedmen's Bureau; the turning over to the Treasury all its funds; its buildings to the several States ; placing all hospitals and asy lums under the charge of the Secretary of War, directing a final settlement of the accounts of the bureau within one month. Arnell declined to permit the substitute to be offered, and demanded the previous question. Walker protested against any'action being ta? ken on the bill without an opportunity of dis? cussion or amendment. The morning hour ex? piring, the bill went over. Washington*, March 31. The House is discussing the transfer of the Freedmen's Bureau jproperty to the Education? al Bureau. In the Senate, the Texas Senators were seated. Ames' case was up. .The President and several members of the Cabinet attended Thomas' funeral. In the House, after a long argument on the bill transferring the property of the Freedmen's Bureau to the Educational Bureau, and also ac? cepting the amendment that the money be ex? pended under the direction of the President of the United States. A motion to table was lost ?64 to 89. The morning hour expiring, the bill went over. Paine reported a resolution seating the Texas members. Shanks objected to Conner, and read certain expressions of disloyalty. Butler read about Conner's cruelty to soldiers while a Fed? eral captain. Brooks made a point of order that the House has nothing to do with the pre? vious private character of the persons elected. The Chair over-ruled the point. Finally, all the members were seated, viz.: W. T. Clarke, J. C. Conner, E.-Degencr, G. W. Whitmore. The tariff was resumed, when the House ad? journed. Washington, April I. ? General Young, of Georgia, was on the floor of the Senate yesterday and to-day, urging the passage of the Georgia bill as it came from the House. Young apprehends that the seating of Ames, with the votes of the Texan Senators, will defeat the amendment. ? The Senate discussed a bill to amend the act incorporating the Freedmen's Savings and Trust Society, so as to allow it to loan money on State or city stocks and real estate. 1 Morton introduced a bill enforcing the.fif teenth amendment and prescribing penalties. The first section reads: "That if any person shall prevent, hinder, control or intimidate any person from exercising, or in exercising, the right of suffrage, to whom the right of suffrage is secured or guaranteed by the fifteenth amend? ment to the constitution of the United States, by any means of bribery, treats or threats of depriving such person of employment, or occu? pation, pr ejecting such person from any rented house, lands or other property, or by threats of Tefusing to renew leases or contracts for labor, or by threats of violence to himself or family, such person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor; and upon conviction there? of, shall be imprisoned for not less than sixty days nor more than six months, and fined in any stim not less than $500 nor more than $1,000." The third section gives the United States Courts jurisdiction of such cases. O. B. Heart contests Gilbert's seat as"Senator from Florida. The papers were referred to the Judiciary Committee. Resolution from the California Legislature in favor of the abolition of the income tax was presented. Ames was seated by forty to twelve. In the House, a bill authorizing the return of Thomas Jefferson's papers.to his executors was passed, and goes to the President Governor Orr. * We gave our readers yesterday morning an account of an interview between Governor Orr and a correspondent of the New York Tribune? upon the issues of the day. We shall assume, as we believe, that the opinions there attributed to him truly represent his views of the situation. Governor Orr lias always been clearly in ad. vancc of public opinion ; and the main reason why his advice has had so little influence upon the mass of the anti-Kadical people "of South Carolina has been, that they did not believe his prophetic ^warnings. His foresight and his voice have been those of Cassandra?true, but never believed. It is for this reason, this bitter experience in the past, that his present utterance deserves and commands an attention never before accorded him. * Since we last heard from Governor Orr, our people have stepped forward several paces from the line then held. This advance took its first concerted expression in the resolutions of the press conference, which have been endorsed by . the almost unanimous voice of the press, and the endorsement of the people is well nigh a certainty. "Let us tike up a few of the points in which this advanced public opinion is in accord with the views attributed to Governor Orr. 1. Both accept the fifteenth amendment and its consequences as matters of law and not of sentiment. 2. Both look to immigration as the wie qua non condition of permanent and general resus? citation of the State. 3. Both seek harmony between the races as necessary for both whjtes and blacks. This I spirit of harmony was broken by the incoming of the adventurers between 1866 and 1868 who needed the colored man's vote, and to get it poisoned his mind against the white citizen. 4. Both see that the hand of nature is rapid? ly adjusting the scales of power; and that the fate of the colored race is but a question of time. 5. Both agree in their antagonism to the herd of political adventurers who Lave crowded, by corrupt means, into our public offices?men ig? norant, dishonest, indecent and incompetent. Upon this point the tone of our anti-Radital press is clear and unanimous. Governor Orr lacks none of our earnestness and clearness when he speaks of?we quote this Tribune inter? view?"those who, by accidental circumstances, have been placed in the lead of the Republican party?men who do .not, and never did, en JOY PUBLIC CONFIDENCE; MEN WHO ARE IG? NORANT, CORRUPTj DISHONEST AND UNFIT, BY REASON OF THEIR EARLY ASSOCIATIONS, FOR decent society. They are adroit enough, however, to make the more ignorant among the negroes believe them to be their best friends, and by employing all the arts of the demagogue, and an unscrupulous USE OF' disgraceful agencies, they succeeded in being elected to the most important offices in the State." The Radical daily of Charleston thinks that Gov? ernor Orr "traveled out of his way to say un? gracious things of our rulers." How soft and ! soothing the tone of this remarkable comment! What a gentle pat of disapprobation it is! Our idea is that Governor Orr did not travel out of his way an inch; but found the monster curse of our State directly in his path, and met ft kc a man. The press and people of South arolina found it in the same way, and .propose to meet it in the same-spirit.?Columbia Chiar-. dian. ' "^x-Governor Orr.?Judge James L. Orr^s opinions as to the probable fate of political parties in this country (see the graphic and en? tertaining letter on "Progress in the South," published elsewhere) will doubtless be accepted with'some allowance for the fact that he has been largely shut out of national political par? ties for some years past, and is consequently not as thoroughly informed upon their princi Sles and schemes as it was his wont to be in. ays gone by. Not ten years, as he thinks, will serve to raise up the defunct Democracy, or to deprive of its power the Republican party, which has successfully reconstructed the South on the broad -basis of universal suffrage, and which hastens to fund and greatly reduce the national debt. But Judge Orr's representations of the social, industrial and political aspect of his own immediate district are full of truths which will not be doubted, and his more pleas? ant predictions as to the future of his State and people, will be hopefully believed by all per? sons at the North who have closely watched the developments of Southern reconstruction. Not that we share all his opinions, but because we have seen no clearer or more temperate statementof the situation of the South than that of Judge Orr, do we give the letter of our correspondent in full. Readers will. find inrit not only entertainment, but instruction calcu? lated to increase the kindlier feelings toward the Southern people, so absolutely essential to true reconstruction.?N. Y. Tribune. The Views of Judge Ore.?The views.of this gentleman, as reported by the Tribune correspondent, will be read with interest by our readers. Whilst we do not concur in all of the Judge's political speculations, we are free, to say, that we do recognize the truth of much that he suggests. We regard Judge Orr's de? votion to South Carolin? as unquestioned, and we regard him as a man of great good sense, and of considerable sagacity. A politician once, he doubtless aspires now to the heights of a philosophic statesmanship. From that stand? point we helieve that he now views the situa? tion, and we feel that his reflections arg to- be invested with all. the respect due to one who has worthily filled several nigh official stations, and in all has. earnestly labored for the welfare of his native State.?Columbia Phoenix. Rich but Sensible.?Nothing in practical wisdom is more familiar to Americans than that a man's hands are his fortune, and that there is no patrimony better than a good trade. Mon? ey;, however, sometimes turns people's heads so that they forget this ; The late Col. Colt was himself a practical mechanic. By his will he left to his nephew an immense fortune. At the time of Mr. Colt's I death, the nephew was learning his trade in his uncle's shop, working diligently in his over halls by day, subject to the same rules as other apprentices. On his uncle's death he became a millionaire; but choosing a guardian to manage. his prop? erty, he continued his labor and served his ap? prenticeship. Now, as he walks the rooms of his fine house, or drives handsome and costly teams, he has the consciousness that if his rich? es take to Themselves wings and fly away, he is furnished with the means of getting an honest livelihood, and may make a fortune for himself. He was a greasy mechanic, and is not asham? ed of it. Labor and its accompanying dirt are not dishonorable nor degrading ; laziness and its almost necessary evils ate disgusting and destroying. Dirty hands and'a sense of independence are to be preferred .to kid gloves and a conscious? ness of being a mere drone in the human hive. Tools rust from neglect; wear out from use is beneficial-. So with a man's capabilities?bet? ter wear out than let them rust. A Good Hrr.T-Thc Chicago Times gives Congress a good lick over the shoulders of j Senator Revels, as follows: The "maiden speech" of the Ethiopian Sen? ator for Mississippi is said to have Deen "as able and eloquent as anything delivered in Congress for some time." This may be easily believed. If it had not been as able, and as eloquent as anything delivered in Congress for some time, it would have proven that the Leg? islature olf Mississippi chose a very inferior, nigger for Senator.
