This year, 1867, is the three hundred snd fiftieth
anniversary of the Great Protestant Reformation,
when LOTHRA and his coadjutors cast aside the
doctrines of the Osthoho Ch uren, and established

Missouri Synod, snd doubtless many others in
sympathy with them, io celebrate this seventh
jubilee in an appropriate manner. The 81st day of

The Pope's Concordat, with Austria, which be?
came a law on the 6th of November, 1855, bas
been abrogated by tho Austrian Diet, by a vote of
130 to 24. By the terms of the Concordat, every
person, institution sod thing in Austria was sub?
mitted to the Catholic Church, ?ducation was con?
fided to her, worship waa confined to her, every
grand transaction of life-birth, marriage, bahai,
could be iJegalited only by her assent. Every
hospital waa surrendered to nans, every school to
the fathers, every charity to an affiliated order.
AU the German Representatives in the Diet "oted
for the abrogation except one, and this one refused
to vote with the majority, because the act was not
radical enough.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune, August 23d, says : "Since the recent
transactions of the President in removing STAN?

letters liavo been received here by prominent Re?
publican politicians from members of Congress,
whick state that the only remedy leit, to insure
Reconstruction, ia the impeachment of the Presi?
dent. These letters are significant from the fact
that several of them are from members who, st
the last session of Congress, were known ss Con?
servatives and opponents of impeachment They
farther state that the prominent movers in im
pesehment are busy at work, and are already can?
vassing among the members to test the feeling on
the subject.
The Times Paris correspondent says : "A pam?
phlet, which the recent events in Mexico will
canse to be read with some interest, has Just ap?
peared in Paris. It is entitled La Cour de Rome
etCEmpereur Maximilian, and is chiefly occupied
with the negotiations between the Holy Soe and
tho Imperial Government of Mexico on the situa?
tion of the clergy. It contains letters of MAXI
?rnjAN, and lt is evident from these letters that
not oily was the force placed at the disposal of the
Emperor MATIMTLIIN too weak to occupy the coun?
try, but that four times the number would not
have sufficed. The situation of Mexico and the
Ticinity of the United States made the conquest of
the country absolutory impossible, yot this disas
trons expedition which commenced* with the de.
fast before Puebla, and ended with the eyaeaation
of the French army, and finally with the tragedy
of Q^ereiero, has added two to the Hst of the Mar?

AT THE MXETTNO of tho Anv.-rican Association
?br the Advai-ooment of Science in Darlington,
Massachusetts, on Wodncsday last, Professor Lov
EKiNO exhibitod a beautiful apparatus for making
sound visible A gas flame is fed by gaB passing
through a box, of which one side is of rubber,
which rubber is connected with an oigan pipe.
When the p:pe is made to sound a musical note,
the vibrations of the sound are communicated to
tho rubber partition and thence to tho gas, the
flame of which now becomes intermittent. Thu?
the flame vibrates in uniuon with thc sound. But
these vibrations, amounting as they may to hun?
dreds it a socond, the number depending on tho
pitch of the sound, are invisiblo to tho eye, and
when we look directly at tho flame it seems per?
fectly steady. But let us look at thc flamo in a
rapidly revolving mirror. Ao tho mirror revolves
the flame seems to move, and if tho morion is rapid
the flame, owing to the persiste nco of the im?
pression up^- tho eyo, seems drawn out like a rib?
bon. If the flame is not vibrating tho edges of
this ribbon aro smooth. But now sound the or?
gan nip-.-. Instantly the upper edge is cut up with
notches, giving it the appearance of a saw, with
very deep teeth. The number of these teeth de?
pend upon tho pitch of the sound, being greater
as the pitch is higher. The professor then ex?
plained the number of applications of his appara?
tus. The relative velocities of different classes of
vibrations given by the theory were verified. He
showed that two pipes of exactly the same piten,
when placed side by side, tended to silence each
other, the vibration of the one rising while falling
in the other. Why the two pipes should thus act
in antagonism rather than nniabil neithor Profes?
sor LoviBiNO nor his compeers were able to tell.
HOM. A. G. BROWN, formerly U. 3. Senator from
Mississippi, on the 3d instant, made a speech
before a large mass meeting of blacks and whites.
The main features of his address were much like
what Governor OBS has given utterance to within
the past six or eight months. Speaking of social
equality of the two races Governor BEOWN said :
"Men make men equal before the law; that ia,
they confer on them equal civil and political
rights, but they cannot make them of equal stat?
ure, of equal wisdom, or of the same color. No
more can they make them socially equal So?
cial equality depends on agreement. Tho
laws cannot force it. I am no man's equal,
socially, unless he agrees to the equality. No man
has a right to demand against my consent; and this
rule is universal and all pervading among men.
Your race is no exception to the rule. The hon?
est, industrious and frugal among you do not ad?
mit to social equality the dishonest, idle and
wasteful of your own color, nor do white people.
I Social equality is simply a matter of private agree?
ment, and is not to be controlled by any public
lav. Whenever the black people desire social
equality, and the white people agree to yield it,
we shall have it, and not before. It takes two to
make a bargain, and I risk nothing in saying that
neither whites nor blacks in the 8ou*h want to
make this bargain now. I have but one idoa to
add. It is this : there will be social equality in
the Sooth between the races quite as soon as the
same thing occurs at the North; for I happen to
know that the Southern people hare a much
higher appreciation of the black man's honor and
character than the Northern people have."
WE SAID BIOTNTLY that violent times throw vio?
lent men into power. They are "by merit raised
to that bad eminence.'- But such men, when affairs
become quieted, if indeed they escape punisment,
sink out of public sight into profound obscurity.
Bold, bad men know this, and hence they contin?
ually fight against peaoe. They want tumult, tor
moil, agitation, violence, so that they may be ena?
bled to retain place and power. This accounts
for the despera to efforts of the handful of bad
white men among ns who are opposing all who de?
sire to see reconstruction effected by the union
and in the interest of good men of all classes and
colors, and who are endeavoring ti array tho
blacks against the whites. They pretend tobe
the peculiar friends of the blacks, while they arc
mating war upon nearly all of the intelligent and
influential colored men, as they are upon all the
intelligent original Union whites, because these
latter understand their mean natures and selfish
motives, and wfll not be led by them. They are
not, like good Union men, trying to build up Uni?
onism. They care nothing tor Unionism, but are
for building up themselves and getting all the offi?
ces. They know that their only hope to do so is
in continued strife and violence, and heneo their
unremitting efforts in that direction.

' SpiAaTNO OF "negro supremacy," the Tribune,
HORACE GREELEY'S paper, says: "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-all of
them white?. Europe is sending us a full thou?
sand per day, and the South proffers them cheap
land, a genial clime, and employment for every
sort of industrial capacity. Now, that a good har?
vest has delivered the South from famine, and her
reconstruction is in rapid progress, there is no
region on earth that should attract so many immi?
grants. Twenty years henoe she will have 25,000,
000 to 80,000,000 of people, whereof the blacks will
probably number 5,000,000 or 6,000,000. Unless all
the laws which have hitherto governed the in?
crease of population are subverted, the whites of
the South must increase faster than the, bia oks by
at least four to one. Not that the blacks'fill fail
to increase also, but they are nowise rec. uited by
immigration,'and cannot be. Africa sends forth
no voluntary emigrants; the slave trade is on its
last legs, and no negroes aro coming to this coun?
try from any quarter. How, then, is it possible
that the 4,000,000 of blacks in this country ohould
overbear the 8,000,000 of whites in the South, with
the millions on the point of flocking thither ?"
A CRITICAL COREES PO ND EVT WritCS to the NOW
York Times: "To-day my nerves are again
shaken with 'hors du combat.' Now this means
'out of the fight.' Eut 'hors as combat' moans
disabled, and is not strictly translatable. So with
'esprit de corps, 'tete de pont,' ?So. Do stop this
dreadful du," Another philosophical correspon?
dent writes from New Haven to ask if it be not
possible to provont the creeping into usage of cer
tain substantives y'd into abjectivos. When a re?
porter at Washington, or a reporter of the courts
sends the news that "Mr. C. has a widthy houso,"
or that "K street is breadth}-," or that "Mr. B.
made a lengthy speech," or that "Judge Mc read a
lengthy decision," we ask that your knowlodgo of
pure English may be of use to make progress
(not "to progress") in your clever (not "talented")
way to stop barbarisms and to restore such honest
adjectives as long, broad, wide and high to a pris?
tine and honest uso. Another correspondent re?
quests us to correct a common error in the uso of
the word manor in the Shokesperian quotation
"to the manner born." As tho text of all good
editions shows, the proper word is manner, not
manor. 1

WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 28, 18G7.
JOB WOES.-We have now completed our
office BO aa to execute, in the shortest possible
time, ALL KINDS OF JOB WORK, and we
most respectfully ask the patronage of our
friends.
THE HEALTH OP THE CUTT,
Every year about this time there are a hun?
dred different rumors about sickness and epi?
demics. Through ignorance, or thoughtless?
ness, sometimes through malice, reports of
this character are originated, detrimental to
the commerce of the city. With a view of cor?
recting these irresponsible reports, and remov?
ing every possible cause for doubt or suspicion
in the premises, we learn that, by the order of
the Commanding General, the Chief Health
Officer of the city will hereafter publish a
weekly mortuary report, that every one, near
and far, mny Bee the sanitary oondition of the
city. This is right and eminently proper, for
if the city is healthy, it is proper that it should
be made known, and so, on the other hand, if
there is present any infectious or contagious
disease, the people have a right to be informed
of it at the first possible opportunity ; and we
publish accordingly, in our issue this morning,
the report for the week ending August 24,
1867.
We have taken pains to ascertain some facts
relative to the health of the city, and after
careful inquiry of the City Registrar and the
Military Medical authorities, as well as many
of our private practitioners, we are happy to
have it in our power to state that the city, at
this time of year, was perhaps never more free
of diseases of gravity than it is at present.
This is the more remarkable when we con?
sider the extraordinary amount of rain that
haa fallen the present summer. From every
quarter almost of the United States, we have
reports of the prevalence of epidemic diseases :
In the West cholera, on the Gulf yellow fever,
and the .several types of miasmatic fevers
everywhere. Druggists inform as that never
before has there been such a demand for qui?
nine. The great chemical laboratories of the
North are entirely unable to meet this unprece?
dented demand. We have not remained en?
tirely exempt from this visitation. In the out?
skirts of the city, especially in the northern
and northeastern parts, the physicians report
an unusual number of cases of the several
forms of miasmatic fevers. But the disease is
confined to those localities, and needs must owe
its origin to local causes. The heart of the
city, the entire business portion, has never
been more exempt from every form of disease
than is the case at present.
True, it may be said the summer is not yet
over. There is plenty of time yet for an epi?
demic. In this opinion we cannot concur. The
hot season may be considered over. The days
will be shorter, and the nights cooler, and tho
calorific rays of the sun will have less power
to foment into disease and epidemic any chance
morbific cause found in the atmosphere. With
ordinary caution, euch as we have every rea?
son to believe has been exercised all this sum?
mer, and is still being exercised, wc may con?
fidently hope to "turn the line" in a continuance
of our present immunity from serious disease,
and thus safely run into port-our winter
quarter, where exhilarating breezes and in?
vigorating health await us, to compensate for
tho waste of vital force incurred by our long
and spending summers.
Through the kindness of the City Registrar,
we were permitted to examine the reports of |
the Health Department, Mortuary Reports,
Thermometric Register, etc., etc., from which
we make the following extracts, which, we hope,
may not prove uninteresting to our readers.
The Health Department has charge of the sick
poor of the city, black and white, both in
hospitals and in "private quarters." Under
an agreement with the Freedmen's Bureau, the
city provides them with medical attendance
and hospital room, while the Government abun?
dantly supplies rations, medicines, hospital
stores, etc. The city pays six physicians to
attend them, and enjoys the services of two
additional physicians, paid, we believe,
from the fund of SIURAB'S Dispensary.
All of these make weekly and monthly
reports to the Chief of the Health De?
partment. From an examination of the July
reports, we find there were during that month,
in the boimds of this city, both in hospital and
dispensary practice, among the freedmen, 150
cases of illness, continued from the previous
month, and 749 new cases, giving a total of Odo
cases of sickness treated by the dispensary and
hospital physicians of the city. Among the
"Refugees" (fiction for "white poor"), there
were in July, continued from June, 108; new
cases 534. Total, 642. Total of deaths in
July-whites, 4 ; colored, 36.
The miasmatic diseases in July prevailed
to the following extent among the freedmen,
spoken of in the last paragraph (905 cases,)
Typhoid fever 10 cases, of which four fatal.
Remittent 35, one fatal, quotidian intermittent
76, one fatal; tertian intermittent 68 ; con?
gestive fever 2, of which one fatal. We are
aware that we may be charged with ignorance
or wilful inaccuracy, in enumerating typhoid
J fever nmong the diseases of a malarious origin;
but we hope not ; our reason for so doing
being the fact that classifications thus made
(for thc City Registrar) are seldom very relia?
ble for scientific purposes, and wc therefore
prefer to give the zymotic diseuses, which may
by any possibility owe their origin to local or
malarious causes.
Of refugees, or white poor, ((?42 cases in
July,) 2 are marked typhoid, SI remittent, 76
quotidian intermittent, 89 tertian, I quartan,
and 2 congestive intermittent, one of which
proved fatal.
The mortality reports for July 1867, are as
follows: During the first week in July, there
were 88 deaths from all causes in thc City of
Charleston, 13 whites, and 20 colored ; of
which 4 from miasmatic dise tses. During the
second week 26 deaths, 7 white and 19 colored,
tl from miasmatic diseases. During the third
week 30 deaths, 10 whites and 20 colored-7
from miasmatic diseases. During the fourth
week li8 deaths-7 whites and 21 colored,
from miasmatic diseases.
In August the mortality reports have been
as follows: During the week ending August
8, there were 27 deaths, 6 whites and 21
colored, 6 of which from miasmatic diseases.
Week ending August 10, 34 deaths, 10 white
and 24 colored, of which 6 from miasmatic
diseases. Week ending August 17, 44 deaths,
20 whites and 24 colored, of which 8 from dis?
eases of malarious origin. During the same
week we may mention also, though not perti?
nent to the subject in hand, that there were 5
deaths from trismus nascentium, 4 of which in I
-I
white children; a fact, we believe, unpre?
cedented in the history of Charleston. During
tho week ending Saturday last, August 24,
there were 2U deaths, 14 whites and 15 colored;
of which number there were 7 from miasmatic
diseases.
We have therefore :17 deaths of whites in
July, 1807, and 80 of colored ; against 08
whites in July, i860, and 77 blocks; and
against 104 whites in July, 18?5, and 281
colored ; a remarkably small mortality there?
fore of whites this year.
Considering the first four weeks given
above for August as an average, and having 5
weekly reports this month, we obtain a mor?
tality of 6:^whites and 105 colored in August,
18G7, against 68 whites and 77 colored, in
1806, and 57 whites and 149 colored in 1865.
This, however, we have every reason to believe,
gives the mortality too large for the present
month ; both because it embraces part ol' July,
(4 days) and also because tho unusually large
mortality of the third week enters into the
calculation of the remaining week.
The population of thc city is not ascertained
with any degree of accuracy. It is supposed
to be about 35,000, whites and colored nearly
equally divided. In 1805, there were less
whites and more colored in the city than now.
There is no reason to believe that there has
been any material change either in the number
of the population or in the relative proportion
of the two colors, during the past twelve
months. This is the opinion of those who
should know,
The fall of rain during the summer months
has been as follows in the last three years.

August.6.48 inches. 4.83 9.89
This is only up to August 26 (inclusive.)
The amount of rain for this month may yet
reach that of June, the largest, we believe
ever known here.
The mean temperature, measured by FAH?
RENHEIT'S thermometer, "detached," at 2 P. M.,
is as follows :
1865. 1866. 1867.
May.76.43 77.46 76.70
June.82.23 82.43 80.53
July.89.21 85.32
August.80.96 83.61
We were unable to obtain the mean tempera?
ture for July and August this year; the maxi?
mum for July was 90 ; and for August thus
far only 80 degrees Fahrenheit. We would
observe, however, that in our opini?n, this
scale does not give a proper report of the aver?
age atmospheric temperature of the city, as
the office of the Health Department, corner of j
Calhoun street and Rutledge Avenue, is in a
remarkably cool situation, and the mercury
generally several degrees lower than in other
situations further down town.
We believe we have shown enough, however,
to prove that the city is enjoying a remarkable
immunity from disease this summer ; and that
whatever the common opinion to the contrary,
this has not been either a hot or a sickly
summer.
The health department lias been very active
in doing every thing practicable for the cleans?
ing and disinfecting of the city. Over 10,000
lbs. of copperas and 6000 lbs. of chloride of
lime have been purchased by the city, and
gratuitously distributed in small quantities.
Besides these, from 20 to 30 barrels of freshly
slacked lime are distributed every two weeks
by the city carts to all the openings and gratings
of drains throughout the oity.

YALE COLLEGE, November 16, 1866. J
I have always recommended the Faber Polygrafie
?ad Pencils as the only pencils fitted for botii ornamen
tl and mathematical drawing; but after a tLorough
.tal of the American Polygrade Lead Pencils, man
lactured by the American Lead Pencil Company, New
brk, I lind them superior to any pencil in use, even to
ie Faber or the old English Cumberland Lead Pencil,
eing a superior pencil for sketching, ornamental amt
lechanical drawing, and all the ordin?r}- uses of a lead
encil.
These pencils are very fin ?ly graded and have a very
mooth lead; even the softest pencils hold the point well;
ley are all that can be desired in a pencil. It gives mo
reat pleasure to be able to assure Americans that ther
dil no longer be compelled to depend upon Germany or
ny other foreign market for penc?is.
