NEWS SUMMARY. -o ?Gold dosed at Now York yesterday at 391. ?The Now York eotton market closed dull and a shade lower; sales 900 bales at 33 cents, with sales as low as 32$ cents. ?At Liverpool cotton closed dull and de clined a fraction. Uplands, on the spot, 12|d; to arrive, 13jd; sales 10,000 bales. Manchester advices favorable. ?Anew athletein London swings on the trapeze by his teeth. ?France has given the Arabs $100,000 to keep them from starving. ?It is reported in New York that the well known but unlucky Maison Dore is to b3 con verted into a theatre. ?Prussia is lightening the taxe3 on neces sary articles, and increasing it on tobacco and spirits, wi.'ich it deems luxnries. ?Englaud is to melt and recast the gnus taken in the Crimean war, out of deference to the feelings of viBiting Russians. '?A woman in Brooklyn purchased a quart of milk and found a small fish swimming in it. The milkman stated he thought the cow must have swallowed the fish. ?During his visit to this country, Mr. Dick ens read to audiences that brought less than iwo thousand dollars, in only two places? Rochester and Now Bedford. ?The rascally Johanna men, who ran away from Dr. Livingstone and told such whoppers about him, have had the impudence to send in their claims for payment of wages. ?Six women, in various parts of England, have been elected to parochial boards, and it is becoming not uncommon for women of the Established Church to preach on Sunday. ?We know that acordwainer is a shoemaker, and that a wife is very apt to be as you make her, bat that ia hardly a sufficient reason for making an atrocious conundrum, and we de cline to do it. ?A libel suit is impending over the Chicago Tribune. A reporter brought in at a very late hour a report that a certain well-known firm had failed. It was published as a rumor, and this suit is brought to recover the trifling sum of one hundred thousand dollars. ?A Prussiai) woman has revealed the fact, upon her deathbed, that she substituted her own child for the infant of a countess, in whose employ she was some thirty years ago. Both are alive, and married in accordance with their widely different stations, and the muddle is as bad as can be. ?The Germans are beginning to print their books in Roman type. It is found much clear er and less ttying to the eyes. Ophthalmolo gy?which killed half the poor compositors be fore they had been ten years at the business, and caused a German printing office to be the funniest assemblage of pale faces, small forms, and big green goggles ever seen?will be ban ished by the change. S ?A new machine for navigating the air, in vented by a Scotchman, will be brought out un?er the auspices of the British Aeronautic Society. It is a sort of bird, with a body fif teen feet in length, and wings stretching ou* to the width of thirty-five feet. A tail reaches ont behind to give direction to the movement, while the wings are flapped by an engine of forty horsefpower. This, it is thought, can be made to proceed through the air at the rate of forty miles an hour. ?The devotion of some sacans to science is illustrated by the testimony of a medical expert in a poisoning case lately tried in France. He found no difficulty in detecting poison in the stomach of the deceased, and acknowledged that he had observed symptoms which he at tributed to this cose, before the death of the gentleman, whom he had attended. On beiug asked if he had administered antidotes, he re plied: "No, for their presence in the stomach would have masked the presence of the poison, which could hot, therefore, have been proved at the inquest." ?The result of the election in Chicago last week is peculiarly gratifying when we recall the fact that the Democrats have made a gain of nineteen hundred and four votes over the last Congressional election in 13GG; and in another view, as showing the importance which the Radicals attached to it ; for we learn from the Chicago Republican of Monday that "To morrow's results in Chicago wiil be t&keu as an indication of how the West stands political ly, and how Illinois will go in November. It is the last great election that will take place in the Northwest before the great national con test." ?The subject of impeachment is discussed in an editorial in the Pall Mall Gazette, which says : "The temper of the House of Represen tatives, as exhibited in the managers, hardly professes to rise above excited partisanship To get the President out of office without the loss of a day is their declared object, and their prosecution of it is not retarded by any consid erations of jus,ice or decency. Ic is even doubtful whether the managers have conde scended to noiico the legal points raised in the answer, and their opposition to the very reason able request for delay submitted by the Pre vi ?Lut's counsel certainly shows that they either fail to estimate, or deliberately "'disregard, the importauco of the issues raised." ?Cannibalism continues in A'jeria. Freuen soldiers are waylaid, knocked on the head, and made into broth or potted for future eating. Two women, o.ich having a child, lived with a tribe near Tiaret. These unfortunates did all thoy could for a long time to stave off the hor rors of famine; but at length all their resources being exhausted, and public charity no longer to be relied on, they agreed to eat the children. A bargain was agreed to, and lots were drawn as to which should be first killed. The mother who lost gave up her infant, which was killed and eaten. This served for a few days; but at last the hideous supply came to au eud, and tho woman who had eacrificcd her offspring claimed that tho other shoukl submit to the same bss. Tiio latter refused, being unable to bring her iniud to that extreme measure. After long altercations both mothers at length agreed to submit their differences to the deci sion of the Arab bnre.:u, and in this way the borriblo facts came to light. ?Narvaez, tho Spanish Minister of War, whose death nan been announced by a cable di ipatch, had been four times prime minister and engaged m two rebellions, thus establish ing a claim to be regarded as a geuiiine Span ish statesman. Ho was born in 1800 at Loja in Andaltis.a, and nrst became prominent in the war of liberation against,the First Napoleon. He became brigadier-general by his services to the government during the Carlist civil war. Espousing tlic cause oi the Queen's mother, Christina, he first quarrelled with Espartero in 1340, and in the folio-wing year attempted an insurrection to overthrow him. He failed in this and fled to Paris, but two years later was successful and became Duke of Valencia. His administration as the] returned Queen Mother's chief adviser was adverse to progress. In 1S47 he was sent as ambassador to Taris, but returned the same year and was again made president of the council. His second administration ended in 1831, and he remained out of office until 1SC4, when his third term began and lasted about a year, when he made way for Marshal O'Dormell, whom he also suc ceeded in 13CC. CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, AFRIL 29, 18G8. The Latest from the Laureate. We print this morning the long-promised poem for which the literary world has looked with so much eagerness, and which Mr. Texxvsox has been said tobe maturing ever since the publication of "Enoch Ar den.'' It is much shorter than we had been led to expect, and like most long anticipa ted gifts, hardly equals our hopes. The "Lucretius" who is here celebrated is appa rently the famous Latin poet of that name, of whom there is little more to be said than that he was born, probably at Rome, about 90 B. C., and died by his own hand in the forty-fourth year of his age. The aim of the Laureate seems to have been to epito mize the famous poem of Lucretivs, "De Herum Natura,'' in the shape of a dream occurring to the poet, after the manner nar rated in the poem. In dramatic truth and power "Lucretius" is far from defective, and there is much of that felicity of expres sion for which Mr. Texxtsox is so justly renowned. But there are not wanting also affectations and obscurities which we can hardly forgive in so carefully elaborated an effort of so great a poet. The poem will hardly add much to Mr. Texxvsox's fame. His warm admirers, and they are many, will find much to praise and to enjoy; but his critics will find hardly less to censure. If the true measure of the Laureate's great ness be, as has been suggested, "Morte D'Arthur'' and "Guinevere,"' "Lucretius" can hardly be called a step in advance. Pence Prospects. The telegraph informs us that the mili tary establishments of the great European powers are about to experience a reduc tion. It is high time. With Ruseia, Prus sia and France, the army has been a chronic disease, and if it has been true that Austria has but to stamp upon the earth to create an army, the earthquake was certain to be followed by a financial epidemic. France became sick of her army before its reorgan ization had been completed; Italy before the unification of the Peninsula had been ! accomplished; the Pope before the ranks of Catholic chivalry were full; England before the end had been reached by the thousands whom she dispatched into Abyssinia after that foolish Theodorus who ruled the Afri oan Switzerland and Nile-springs, and thence hurled love and defiance?the arrow and the javelin?at Victoria Regixa. Tur key has always been a sick man?that is to say, ever since he could no longer subsist his army upon the spoils of conquered na tions. It is well for Europe's Kings and Princes that the warlike establishments they have been lately maintaining and aug menting, should be promptly and even ; largely reduced. Except for exigencies, which cannot be expected to occur frequently, a standing army is a great evil. It is even a cause rather of weakness than strength. The ! proverb that "Providence always favors the strongest battalions," is by no means a historic axiom. A higher than philosophic wisdom, on the contrary, leads us to expect that "they that take the sword shall perish by the sword." With a few exceptions, a standing army consists of producers who have been drawn away from ihe fields of labor, and made consumers whom other men's labor must feed and clothe. And for the most part, the officers are idlers and loungers?the drones of the human hive. This host is organized to destroy. Destruc tion is its busiuess:?the destruction of ene mies in time of war?the destruction of patrons in time of peace, as some of the African tribes devour the authors of their being:?destruction by the sword that stabs and hacks upon the fields of giorj, or de struction by the knife?or shall we call it the social spade ??that cuts and shovels in upon the fields of bliss. A standing arm; is an immense crowd of poor relations? always on hand at dinner time, and eating on every occasion as if each meal was the last. And the peace which it maintains is not. worth keeping, for it takes out the heart and pride t?nd public spirit of a people. It is worse than war, in perpetuating those evils, which war introduces only as tempo rary measures. A force carefully handled, held back by an unreasoning power, which to all below is iron, and to some inscruta ble influence above is war. leaves all the future in vague uncertainty. A general visits an immense peaceful city, spends a day or two there without observation, goes to church, aud then quietly returns home. Now it is whispered that he went to confer absolute power in such or such an event, upon an inferior officer: to direct where the cannon should be planted and the broad sides of the fl;et should roll. Henceforth., every night, a gloomy spirit floats over thai great city?a world in itself!?brandishing his sword. At a signal, given hundreds and hundreds of miles away, the glittering menace will descend. When government is in weak hands, a political r?volution, or even a civil ?meute, miy effect the changes necessary for the relief of a people. But when a government :s swayed by irresponsible and unscrupu lous strength, change means war; and a standing army threatens the population whom it at the same time slowly consume*. It is a torrent as motionless, jet as mighty ?a, cataract as silent, yet as fraught with ruiu tempest-tongued and resistless?as any which daunted the soul of Coleri?oe from the mid-heaven of Caamounix. Motion less at one instant, at the next it may be sliding down; silent to-day, it may rage like a mountain storm to-night; poising itself, it may let itself go: but when it will slip loose, and how, and why, no man knows; for the creature is as portentous and inscrutable as the fate of a Greek tragedy. Europe is tired of national armies. Sc are we, but with more reason than any peo ple in Europe. For where else in the world are there two armies, the one visible, the other invisible, swaying the same people and consuming their substance and their franchises?one army marching and drilling with bayonets, in the day, and the other meeiing and drilling with dark "lanterns and torches in the vaults of night. Unhappy State! with an army that makes peace, and an army that breaks peace, and a people broken to pieces, when will you enjoy such relief as Austria uni Turkey are giving to their subjects.
