Bight Exchange on New York ?c. pre? mium Yesterday being the 4th of July, a salute was fired early in the morning by the U. S. troops stationed here, under command of Colonel An? drews. In the morning an extra train on the Sparenburg and Union Railroad left here for Pacolet Depot, where a barbecue and public speaking were the order of the day. We no? ticed in our streets a large number of freed? men, who, we suppose, felt that it was more glorious, if not more profitable, to spend the day in this manner than to attend to farm work. All branches of business in the village were conducted as usual.- Unionville Timee. The New York Christian Advocate, in record? ing a "revival," adds, in italics, as the choicest item in the paragraph, "Brother HINCKLE has powerfully touched the conscience of callous .inners, and succeeded in doubling the list of subscribers to our excellent paper."

SCIENTIFIC. The Richmond Medical Journal for June, 1867, hos reached ns, and in it we find two articles from South Carolina contributors. In former times, Charleston used to have a first class medical journal, but now its late editor is a brilliant contributor to a New Orleans journal. Another South Carolinian is the editor of the Richmond journal, and the two most, interesting original communications iu the present number are those by Dr. BABUGH, of Camden, and Dr. S. LOGAN, late of this city, but now Professor [elect of Surgery in the New Orleans School of Medicine ; all of which shows that if means or energy are lacking, and prevent our having a medical journal of our own, it is gratifying to find such substantial assurance th it it is in the minor and accessory qualities only oar Profession can even be suspected deficient, but that in tho essentials of learning, they are abreast with their brethren elsewhere. Dr. 8. BA Er cu, of Camden, S. C., contributes a very interesting article on Hypodermic Medica? tion. We have _ recd it over carefully, and if a layman may be permitted an .'opinion on a purely professional subject, we should say that Dr. ?. h aa reason to be well satisfied with his production. It is well conceived, well ?[arranged, and admira? bly executed ; and if the little we can say in his commendation can induce him to try his pen again, we know we shalRdo the profession a service. Dr. B. contributed some very interesting observations on " Bayonet Wounds" to the Confederate Medical and Surgical Joui nal, published in Richmond dur? ing the last two years of the war. Dr. B studied medicine in tho Medical College of South Carolina, and entered tho Confederate army as Assistant Surgeon in the 3d S. C. Battalion. This command he accompanied through Virginia and the two Maryland campaigns, during which time he had frequent and abundant opportunity both of acquir? ing large experience and giving proof of proficiency. His early piomotion, notwithstanding bis youth, gives proof that his worth found acknowledgment even in the Surgeon-General's office. In 1864 be was made Surgeon of the 18 th Mississippi Regi? ment, and early in 1865 he was sent to establish hospitals in North Carolina, where tho close of tho war found him. Although a mere country practition? er, we are pleased to see that he keeps up his stu" dies, and still occasionally yields to his writing propensity. Dr. LOGAN'S paper is on an entirely original sub? ject, now probably for the first time published. He entitles it: "Proportionate Length of the Bones of the Extremities, as beating upon Eth? nology and Medical Jurisprudence." He says that the books s peak in a general way of the propor? tions found to obtain between the various parts of the body, but "I know of no accurate admeasure? ments of the bones, nor of any observations show? ing the differences in tb? relativo development of the different bones in the various races, nor even a statement that any such differences exist in the proportions of the two main segments of the ex? tremities." u;1 - In comparing the bones of the various human races, he further says, two kinds of differences are observed, namely, those which are natural and those which are artificial. Examples of the hitter class we find in the cranial bones of some races, while instances of the former class aro seen in the normal differences between the oblique alveolar process of the negro, compared with the perpen? dicular one of the Caucasian race-the different relative development of the cranial and facial bones of the two races, and the defectivo lachrymal bones of the negro, as first noticed by Dr. F. T. MULES, Professor of Anatomy in the Medical Col? lege of South Carolina. Prof. LOGAN than gives several tables of "Osteo? l?gica] Admeasurements,*' stating that the relative length of the individual bones of the extremities, | tho relations between the length of those oom pos? ing respectively the proximal and the distal seg? ment of each extremity, and the differences in those respects found to obl?in?botweeu tho moe* sannot be influenced hy th? customs and habits of -' si tb or. They are essentially natural and not arti- 1 icial differences. The result of these measure- * menta shows that the negro has a shorter humerus t inda longer radius than the white man. The { humerus, by these tables, is shown to be relatively \ to the radius nearly one inch longer in the white ?han in the black race. Dr. LOGAN says : "If the generalization.dcri vod from these admeasurements ( t>e confirmed by farther observation, we may des- ' ignatelae raes to which a given example belongs, 1 provided tho humerus accompanies it. If the ( length of the. radius constitute more, let us say, , :han 42 per cont, of the combined length of the ( aumerus and -radius, according to Table No. S, the bone must belong to the body of a negro ; if it Dears less than that per cen toge, to that of a white 1 nan. I need hardly stop to remark upon the im- ' portance of this fact in its bearing on the identity 1 rf bodies before a court of justice. We might turn fte scales, pro or eon, in a matter of life or death." t Similar d?ductions then follow in regard to the j lina, the femur, the tibia and fibula, into .which, ( xo we ver, it ts unnecessary for us to follow him. We have quoted sufficiently to show both the in rarest and the importan oe of the subject, and sannot but feel highly gratified that one of our , )wn a'umni should havo entered this promising, , litherto untrodden path in the field of scientific ? inquiry. I The Journal has other articles of in' orest, both i original and selected; but we have already tran- 1 Mended the ordinary limits of a newspaper article 1 m such subjects, and, therefore, must forbear speaking further upon it. EUROPEAN INGENUITY.-The old world is try- I Lng its best to keep up with the new in indus- ' trial inventions, and the Paris Exhibition af- ' fords a fine field for ingenuity to display the 1 results nf its talent and perseverance. > There 1 is a machine in operation there at present, from Wurtemburg, for making paper from 1 wood, which is said to be the most extcn- 1 sive apparatus in the whole Exposition. A ! tree cut into convenient blocks, is put in at the ' top of the mountain of continuous and gradu- ' ally descending rollers and grinders, and comes 1 out quite rapidly at your feet in the shape of a ! fine, white, soft pulp, ready to be pressed into tay form of paper desired. A machine accomplishing the same result in 1 a somewhat different manner, as far as may be ' judged from the above vague description of a 1 Paris letter-writer, has been in practical oper- 1 ation for some months-a year or more-in 1 this country. Indeed, there are several facto? ries here where paper is made from woody 1 fibre, and a number of the daily and weekly papers use it exclusively. Whether the Wur- 1 11tuburgers have a just title to the original idea is uncertain. The French were trying a num? ber of similar experiments some years ago, but with what final success we do not know. But at all events the German machine, as de? scribed above, is ahead of any other yet in? vented in simplicity of method and vastness of result, lt reminds the writer of the celebrated "mutton mill," by which, putting a live ram in at the top, you were in a few moments pre? sented at thc bottom of the apparatus with all the "best cuts" of mutton, readily dressed, to? gether with an elegant puir of carved powder horns, a flask of neatsfoot oil, a keg of bone dust, a finely finished dozen of sheep's wool stockings, and a pair of sheepskin breeches of approved pattern and make.-lYew York Post. THE POLES IN VIROINIA.-We have already noticed the forming of a Polish settlement in Spottsylvania county, Virginia. The colonists, one hundred and three in number, arrived in this country last November. They are now compelled to ask assistance. Gen. 0. Toch nian, the recently appointed Immigration Agent of Virginia, is endeavoring to raise for them a sum of four thousand dollars. In their address they say: "Unless we are provided with a sufficient amount of provisions until we raise the spring crops, with the seeds and plants of fruit trees in the early part of the spriug, and with at least twenty additional mules, or horses, and a few cows more, and some wagons, our progress will be abortive and doubtful. On Monday last, salcsdny, there were very few people in town from the country. The day being clear, the farmers were generally at work, killing grass. Two lots of land within the village were sold by the Sheriff. One lot of six acres sold for $1C per acre, the other, of two acres, at $43 per acre.- Uniontille Times. SEVERE STORM.-This place was visited by a ?severe storm on Friday evening last. Shade and fruit trees were blown down in all direc? tions. Rain fell in torrents, accompanied with hail. Considerable damage was done to fenc? ing.-Keowee Courier. THE STATE PENITENTIARY. ITS PROOBESS, PROSPECTS, AC. Knowing that a detailed description of this long desired enterprise would not be uninterest? ing to our readers, we are enabled, through the kindness of an esteemed correspondent, to furnish an account of the proposed building. The grounds are situated in the corporate limits of Columbia, at the foot of Plain street, about twenty minutes walk from the market, and immediately on the Canal, and are at pre? sent enclosed by a high wooden wall twelve feet in height, with only one entrance through which access is gained to the works. All visi? tors are required to enter through the Clerk's office, and there register before being ad? mitted to the prison. As yet, the construction of the cells alone occupies the attention of the architect, but by reference to the draw? ings a good estimate can be formed of the arrangement of the structure. On entering the main archway, large stairways lead from the right and left to the upper stories. The basement is divided into rooms, which will be used as laundry and storerooms, and the large arc in the centre will be devoted to cooking, heating, and like purposes. To the right and left are the north and south wings, where the cells are located. These are isolated, having no connection with the walls of thc building, and are accessible by a stairway and ti balcony. There are fifty cells on every floor in each wing, and they are five tiers high, thus making two hundred and fifty cells in each wing. Each of these cells are five by eight feet in plan, and have a height of seven feet, resting on a stone paving eighteen inches thick, which ex? tends to the outer walls, and would render any escape by that direction impossible. Each cell is provided with all the modern appliances for supplying air, water, &c, and on the top in each wing, large cisterns will be furnished, these will contain the water from the roof, but will be principally supplied from the river by means of a large Turbine wheel. Sewers, drains and pipes are arranged throughout the building, and every attention paid to the hygiene of the establishment. There is a con? dor fourteen feet wide passing around the cells and paved with eighteen inch granite blocks, and extends to the wall of the building. The central building combines all the apartments of dining rooms, guard rooms, dispensary, hospital, chapel, parlor, offices, fcc., The Female Department is to the right of the male, and combines all the various divisions of the latter, with the addition of a large work? room, and the cells on the upper floor are some* what larger than those used by the male con* -icts, being Cx8 and 7 feet high. They are 48 in number, which is a fair proportion of females to males.. This proportion is based on the sta? tistics of other prisons in the United States. The pressing want of a habitation and em? ployment for the convicts that were waiting in svory district of the State, rendered it neces? sary to commence the construction of the cells ?rst, and up to this time forty cells have been completed and ready for the reception of con? victs. Each of these cells will accommodate three convicts if the pressure require it. The isolated condition of the cells admits of the construction of the main building at any :irne. Tho architect. Major T. B. LEE, has devoted til of his engineering skill and ingenuity to he interest of the State, and will eventually ? mcceed in erecting a building whose magnit? ude will compare with any in our country, and 1 or economy of construction cannot be excelled >y any that has been erected. The quarry has been located on Broad river, me mile from this work and immediately on he canal. By means of an inolined plane, 300 eet in length, and a chain passing around a Irum the stone is brought into the yard. The vat er of the canal furnishes the motive* power, ind by a skillful arrangement of machinery ? rock is now removed that would formerly have required the labor of twenty horses. At pres- . mt 40,000 lbs. of rock are put into the yard with the assistance of only four laborers. Various temporary shr-ds and buildings for he immediate construction of the building have Decn erected on the grounds, and the labor of 1 he convicts is directed toward the construc ion of the prison. II is Excellency the Governor, in company with General BURTON, visited the Penitentiary in the 29th ult., and were escorted around the extensive grounds by the Architect and Engi? neer, Major THOS. B. LEE.' Up to this date the visitors' register.] shows over 800 visitors since the 11th of May. The roll of convicts now numbers 52, the majority of whom are strong and able bodied hands. They work well, and are well clothed and fed. TnE CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT.-Those peo? ple who imagine that the interest in co-opera? tive industry is a passing spasm of excitement, lue to such incidental causes as high rents, . costly living, expensive materials of labor, or . the failure of eight hour law-in other words, that it is but another kind of conspiracy tgainst wealth-are profoundly mistaken. The movement is no local passion, no momentary darry, but a widespread and steady revolution in the industrial world. It goes on most pow* ?rfully in countries where society is very dif? ferently organised from ours, and where our particular vexations are not acutely felt. In England, for instance, the system spreads so fast and takes such hold, that the regular tra lera are meditating self-defence. A year ago, there were in England four hundred and seven? teen co-operative stores, realizing all together, some $6,000,000 of profits, and dividing thirty five per cent, on investments. In France the papers report still more won? derful successes, and on a higher plan of en- * terprise. The French are the best organizers of industry in the world.* No people are so thrifty, so quick-witted, so scheming, so saga? cious, so pliable, so fond of experiment, so sci? entific in procedure. They are entirely foot? loose and handy, and they have turned over so many theories, that they have learned pretty well what can be done and what cannot. They were not satisfied, as the English were, and as many of our people seem to be, with co-opera? tive shops, which are well enough in their way, but which do very little to exhibit the princi? ple of co-operative labor-but, taking the idea at once in i's full scope, applied it immediately to the reorganization of industry. The city of Paris has thirty industrial associations, the prosperity of which is so immense that all sorts of trades are striking into the system ; the small trades which require but little capital, such as last-making, spectacle-making, chair-making, finding it especially suited to them. The busy city of Lyons has thirty stores conducted on the system, the profits on the capital were sixty per cent. The movement has attracted so much attention, and acquired so much impor? tance in France, that the directors of the Credit au Travail (the Workingmen's Bank) have in? vited a congress of the co-operative societies of all nations to assemble in Paris on the 14th of August for general consultation. Richmond Dispatch. FREEDMEN IN FLORIDA.-Col. Sprague, As? sistant Commissioner of Freedmen's Affairs for Florida, has transmitted the reports of the Sub Assistant Commissioners serving in that State detailing the operations of the Bureau of Gen. Howard. The Sub-Assistant Commissioner for the Sub-District of New Smyrna reports that the colonization of a large number of colored people at New Smyrna by certain parties, with the avowed intention of benefitting them, has, it is feared, been attended with unfortu? nate surroundings and circumstances. The colonists themselves state in almost every par? ticular they have been disappointed and de? ceived. The condition of these colonists is represented as very destitute; and those who still remain-some having left for other por? tions of the State-have neither labor, houses, provisions nor means to get out of the country, and must of necessity for some months to como be a burden to the Goverment.

C., July 8th, A.\ Lv., 6807, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : Cne of our number baa recently been removed from tho level of time to "that undiscovered country, from whose bourne no traveller returns." We have, with sor? rowful hearts, seen all tbat was mortal of Brother ADAM B. GLOVER (one of tho Stewards of thia Lodge), con? signed to tho tomb, and it becomes us te give some ex? pression of our appreciation of his loss. Ruling his Ufe by the square of virtue, bo sought con? stantly to cultivate those truly Masonic tenets-Faith, Hope and Charity-Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. In his intercourse with his Brother Masons, he ever aimed to spread the cemont of brotherly love and affec? tion. But. it was in the relief of distress and want that his character shone most conspicuously; for he consid? ered no sacrifice of Hmo, money or convenience, too great to be made in the sacred cause of charity; and many a widow and orphan now revorea bis memory, and weep that they will no more be cheered and comforted by bis vial ts of love and sympathy. Of him it may now be truly said that bia faith is lost in sight, the hope of his Ufe bas ended in full fruition, and the blessings of hie charity extend beyond tho grave, into "that temple not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Be it therefore Resolved, That while we are deeply sensible of Ute great loss sustained in bis death by Orange Lodge No. lt, and the Masonic Fraternity of Charleston, wo bow in humble Submission to t li o inscrutable decree of tho Great Architect of the Universe. Resolved, That we offer our tenderest sympathy to the afflicted family of our departed Brother, and that tho Secretar i be instructed to transmit tbem a copy of thia expression of the esteem in which we hold his memory, Resolved, That a page in our Minute Book be inscrib d to his memory, and that these proceedings be published I in the Charleston Courier and DAILY Nxws, Extract from the Minutes.

GREGATION {Benth Shalom) was organized in this city about ten years ago, and for temporary purpos s con? structed a small building near tho corner of St Philip and Calhoun streets In thia humble House of God they have ever since worshipped. It waa their design from the commencement to accumulate fonda toward erecting a largor edifice, more commodious, and mor. in conso? nance with the wants of the present age. But their savings were all swept away by the war, and nearly three thousand dollars, set apart for thia purpose, wero thus lost The new house of worship is much needed, there being constant applications from new members, but no room to accommodate them. The serviced of this congregation are conducted in the German (almost identical with tue Poliah) Minhag. And this ia tho oi ly synagogue in ' Charleston in which Israelites from Continental Europe can worship the God of their fathers in precisely the same forms, language and ceremonies a? their fore? fathers did. Thoy are, however, too poor to carry out such tn en? terprise unaided. They have the ground ?br tho new synagogue, but not the means to construct the building. They therefore solicit assistance from thou* brethren and friends everywhere; both from those of tho House.of Israel, and from all others, of whatever faith or nation; believing that the Great Author of all good wiil prompt many to step forward and help them in thia their time of need. Thoy aro extremely solicitous to finish their now building before next Roth Hashanah (September 30), as thero is every reason to expect a large accession of worshippers, far beyond the capacity of thc pr?sent small building. The new synagogue will be a largo and handsome, though not expensive struct ii ru. Ruitwripnonn or dona? tions will bo gratefully received by any of the undersign? ed officers of the congregation. Mr. B. A.
