VOLUME Vii.-NUMBER 1099. CHARLESTON, S. C., FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1869. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR BY TELEGRAPH. EUROPE. PARALLEL BETWEEN THE BYAN-CUBAN EXPEDI? TION AND THE CASE OF THE ALABAMA. LONDON, Jane 29.-The Star, commenting on the reported departure of Ryan's expedition for Cuba, brings the circumstance to bear upon the claims now pending between the United States and Great Britain. It says: "We are interested in the conduct of the United States Government in this matter. America now stand? in relation to Cuba exactly as Eng? land did in relation to the Southern Confed? eracy. Her neutrality laws mu-t bp thorough? ly and effectively enforced, or she will loee the hold she has gained on public opinion, which insures a fair consideration of the Alabama claims. The Alabama escaped unarmed, with an ordinary merchantman's crew on b>ard, and we are justly held to have incurred a high degree of responsibility for the consequences. The departure of a party of eight hundred men from New York, as far as can be judged from present accounts, appears to be an infraction of the neutrality laws justas flagrant as the escape of the Alabama, and one which could nave been much more easily prevented." THE FENIAN PRISONERS. DUBLIN, Juno 29.-At the meeting held last night to urge upon government the release of the Fenian prisoners, four thousand people were present. Butt, a prominent lawyer, said the mo ito of alt true Irishmen ought to be, "Bid* your time; pnt your trust m God and keep your powder dry." If the British Gov? ernment persisted in keeping these men incar? cerated, all its professions ol conciliation would be useless. Williams, of Dungarvon, declared the Fenian prisoners would not accept mercy. They demanded justice from ministers. If the latter relnsed it, let blood be upon their own heads. He would not, however, advocate a resort to the swoid, for that doctrine was now out of time. AFFAIBS IN SPAIN. MADRID, July 1.-The Corie's have rejected the bill increasing the duty on cereals.

" WASHINGTON, July 1.-The three Cuban crafts captured in New York harbor contained only ona hundred and fifty men. The main expedition has undoubtedly gone to sea.

Bishop While visited the President to-day. Yesterday's Express says that it has leaked out that about,$5.000,090 in greenbacks are locked up by parties manipulating the money market to effect prices generally; the present distress could never have been reached at this season .but fi r remarkable assistance from the Treasury Department. Wall-street has locked up $5,000,000 and Boutwell $30 000,000. ? There was an immense crowd at Gettysburg to-day. The ceremonies took place according to programme. .

Among the Cubans overhauled and captured aro parties bailed to keep the peace for an amount of about seventy-five thousand dollars Colonel Ryan and a large number are still missing. The New York papers convey the impression that the entire expedition failed. Among the American officers captured were Colonels Bryan and Seats, Majors Om ey and Courtenay, Captains T. F. O'Neill, Wm. H. Lindsey. Kearns, M url ha, MoCue, Simonton, Gibbins, Tom Masterton, Dixon, Hoar, Harris and several others; all of whom have acquired a reputation as bravo officers in the late war.

Hardly a cleri? cal advocate of the Irish Church has ventured an an argument stronger than "Sacrilege V' or "Will you rob the Lord of bis inheritance?" But Thirwall laughs at this. Ho reminds hts clerical brethren that'thia idea of proper y be? longing to tbe Lord, aa if hp had need of it, was neitbor Christian^ nor even JudaiO, but simple and pur? heathenism. Ho further re? minds them that St. Ambrose'waa onoe accus? ed by the Arians of sacrilege. And why? Because he iold the vessels pf silver and gold which the faithful had presented to the altar* and with tbe proceeds he released captives of Ina dook from their barbarous masters. Of a class with this sacriioR3 is tit at of the dises tabUahment of the Irish Chun oh.. ?-prent seems to be governed very much by the same principles In the ohoice of his Cabi? net officers that he bi in the selection ot hts horses. The best illustration of this ii f ?und io the case of tho new Secretary cf the Navy, Mr. Robeson, the President met afr. Robeson for the first tims about a year ago, when he was introduced by Senator Cattai). He had mel Him Onoe or twice aluce, but only casually. Whoo Mr. Rorie told tba President that he wanted to retire fron the Cabinet, Grant ask? ed him who? he would recommend as his suc? cessor. Boris mentioned Mr, Robeson. Great a. - he did not know him well enough. This ha cned just before the President's trip to We j Point. He wanted to get a chat, ce to study Robeson's good and bad points with? out le I nit the object of his curiosity know about it. Before starting for West Point, the P.ea. nt said to Borle: "Suppose yon write a n Ao to your friend Robeson, and say you ar J going with mo to West Point, and that as you have the privilege of in? viting a friend you would like him to be one of tbe party. lu that way I will get a ohanoe to seo what kind of a man he is." Bone, who it seems was anxious to place Robeson in his old shoes, readily oomplied with the request. The result of it was, Hr. Robeson made one of the Presidential party av West Point. On the way up and during the time they remained there Grant embraced every opnoxtnnity to draw Robeson out on various topie*.~ Of course Mr. Robeson-who had no idea at that time of being offeted a placo in the Cabinet-felt con? siderably honored in the attentions ho received from the President, and spoke his mind quite freely on every subject introduced. Grant is said to have eyed 'Robeson as a man does a horse he is about to purchase. The President told Borie that Robeson had many good points about him, and ho would appoint bim Secre? tary of tbe Navy, as he guessed he was about as good a man as be could get.

M.-The Marshal President or the Republic ol Paraguay might well hold himaett excused from giving a written reply to your excellencies, ibo geuerals-in-chief ol the allied armies engaged in war with the nation over which he pr?sid?e, because of'the tone and language, unusual and inconsistent with the honor of a soldier and the dignity of a cbiel magistrate, with which your excellencies have taken occasion to convey to me the intimation to lay down my arms within tho apace of twelve hours, in order to terminate so prolonged a Btruggle. threatening ti throw upon my head the blood which baa been already spilled, and which has yet to flow, if 1 do uot consent to the laying down of arms, and holding me re? sponsible in person before my country, tho nations which your excellent?' s represent, and the elvi lized world; nevertheless, 1 chose to impose upon mvselr thia duty, rendering thus a taibute to that same blood so gener? ously poored out as well by my people as by those with whom they fight, as also to the sen? timent of religion, humanity and civilization, sv h ic li your excellencies invoke in your de? mand. These same sentiments are precisely those which influenced rae more than two years tn rise above all tho official discourtesy with which the elected ruler of my country bas been treated iu this war. I sought then, at Zataity cora, in a conference with his excellency tho ?eneral-in-chief of the allied armies and Pres dent ot the Argentine Republic, Brigadier SeneralDon Bart ?tem? Mitre, the conciliation >f the four sovereign States of South America, which had already begun to destroy them? selves in a notable manner; and yet my initia? tive and most earnest eflbro met with no other reply than disregard and silence upon the Dart of the allied governments, nd new and sanguinary battles upon the part of their inned repr?sentatives, aa y oat,' excellencies ian bear witness. Since then I bave seen moie clearly the ten? dency of thu war of the allies agams.t >tfhe ex steno? of the Republic of ParagnayA.vnd de? ploring the blood which has bean e.-r 7 in BO nany years of strife, I waa eiloijjfesj^&^aonih .he fate of^my country and nergenerorus sons n the hands of the God of nations, I fought ier anemias with the loyalty and earnestness L have shown, and I am still ready to continue iguting until the same God and our arms de? nde tho definite fate of the cause. Your excellencies are good enough to advise ne of tbe knowled o you possess of the re? sources whish I can actually command, believ ng that I am also aware ot the numerical torce of the allied armies and of their re? sources every day increasing. 1 have no s ach nf irmation; but I have the experience of four t/ears, during wm ch this numerical for?a and hese resources have never prevailed against the self-denial and courage of. the I araguayan soldier, who figota with the resolution of an lonorable citizen and a Christian man, that v narrow grave may open for him in his conn ry before he will see her in any manner hu? nd?a ted. Your excellencies have had tho goodness to remind me that the blood poured out at rJto .ora aud Abay should have decided me to ivoid the bloodshed of the twenty-first of the surrent month; but your excellencies forgot, vithout doubt, that these same actions have lemonetrated in advance bow certain ia the lependence which I place on the self-denial of ny compatriots, and that -each drop of blood which falls to the earth is a new obligation to hoBo who ant vive; and before such an example ?an my poor head be affrighted by the threat 10 very unchivalrous, (permit me to call it so) vhich yon? excellencies have deemed it your lut-y to convey to me. Your excellencies have no right to acouae me aefore tho Republic of Paraguay, my country, jocauae 1 have defended ber. I do defend her. md will yet defend her. She baa imposed ipon me thia duty, and it is my glory to fulfil t to the laat extremity ; and for the rest, leav? ing my deeds to history, 1 have to account only ;o my God; and if it be that b o od must still be ?bed, He will take note of it and where the responsibility rests. 1, for my part, am still 11 apo s ed to treat for tbe termination of tbe war upon basea equally honorable to all the belligerents, but I am not disposed to hear ono word aa to the laying down o' my aims called for by your excellencies in order to treat for peace. Thus in my turn, 1 believe, I comply with my imperative duty to religion, humanity and civilization on the one baud, and with that whioh I owe to tho unanimous cry which I have just heard from my generals, chiefs, officers abd troops, to whom I bave communicated the demand of your excellencies, and with that whioh I owe to my own name and honor.

WHAT THE FBAT?BES INDICATE.-We are told that the extremes of both largeness and small? ness of stature axe not favorable to strength of intellect. Giants and dwarfs are generally deficient lu thia respect, and excessive corpu? lency or meagreness is seldom associated with mental act vity. Aristotle ml. Napoleon Bo? naparte however, were very short, Charles James Fox was exceedingly Ut, Danie Web? ster bo.h broad and tall, aud Lord Nelson a living skeleton. .

Raphael, Charles XII, Frederick the Great, and Lord Brougham war? ibu ilrations of the latter fust. . .It ia said that say nose whioh ia leas than the height of the forehead ia an indication of defective intellectual power. The eves indi" cate character rather by their color than form. The dark blue are found most oom m only m persons of a gentle and refined character; light bine and gray in the rode and energetic.

The "Little Fellow" Accurately Mea? sured-An Estimate that has More Truth than Poetry about lt. Ex-President Johnson evidently doesn't mince words in expressing his opinion of bia successor in the White House. Tho corres? pondent of the New York Herald, with whom Ur. Johnson hada conversation on Sunday, re? ports him aa saying: You know very well, sir, for yon were fa? miliar with my views, while I was President, what my estimate of Grant waa; and 1 don't know of anything that bas since occurred that has caused ma to change my mind the slight? est. 1 know Grant thc roughly. I had ample opportunity to study him when I was Piesi dent, and I am convinced he is the g.cai cst tai ce that was ever thrust upon a people. Why, the little fellow-excuse me for using the ex? pression, bat I can't help pitying bim-the lit? tle fellow has nothing in him. He hasn't a Bingle idea. He has no policy-no conception of what the country requires. He don't un? derstand the philosophy of a Bingle great question, and is completely lost in trying to understand his situation. He is mendacious, cunning and .treacherous. He lieu to me flagrantly, by*-, and I convicted him by my whole Cabinet; but that even would have been tolerable were it tho only instance; but it was not. He lied on many other occasions. I tell you, sir/ Grant ie nothing more than a hun J Je cf potty spites, jealousies and resentments. And yet they Bay Grant is a second Washington. Only think of it, when yon compare bim with Washing! on or Jeffer? son where is be ? Why he is so small yon most put your Anger on bim. He, a little np hiart, a coward, physically and intellectually, to be compared to George Washington I Why, it makes mo laugh. 1 have more pity for the mao than contempt, for I have no spito against him. Bat 1 fear for the country when such a mania likened to the Father of his Country. Why, just look at the inaugural of Washington. He speaks about his fear and trembling in ac- ; ceptiDg the Presidency, even after all his ex- i ! peneuco and success. But this little fellow i Grant, an upstart, a mere accident of the war, < a creature without the ability to comprehend i the philosophy ot a single great question, says, i in bis inaugural, "I know tho re^poobibility is . rrt at, but I accept it without 'ear/' Is that like Washington or Jefferson ? Pshaw 1 li's mon? strous to think of. Grant, I tell you, sir, has no ideas, no policy. Why, Washington consid? ered that a man's greatness was measured bv ins morality, by the standard of his soul. And \ 1 have always considered that the more soul a < a man had, the more he developer! the soul or < intellect within him, the more Godlike he be- ' . came; Bot, slr, Grant has nothing. Phvsic illy and mentally and morally he is a nonentity. Why, .-ir. bis soul is to small that you could pat it within the periphery of a hazel nutshell and it might float about tor ? thousand years J without knocking against the walls of the sh .-il. That's the sino of his soul. Just h ok at the , man sitting ut a Cabinet council. Ho has LO . idea, no pol ey, no standard, no creed, no faith. How can he guide the people ? How can he fc impress any great improvements or moral < ideas upon tbe nation ? He has no object to ? look forward to, no leading aim to draw the people towards any particular end. H J sits theie with his Cabinet. Ono member has " bought bim a houso in Philadelphia, another has pi ven him $65 000, another has given him i a carriage, and so on. It is degrading to the L office of President of the United states to have such a man there. They ta'k about his geno- 1 ralsbip. Well, he was a mere inoident of i ho 1 war. Men and arms were supplied in abun? dance, and his forces were so massive that " they simply crushed out the rebellion. It won ld have been done had Grant never been 1 born. Thciefore he was a mere inoident. fc Bat the little f dio JV basc?me to think he s is somebody iealiy. 1 can't help pity- . ing him when 1 think bow well I know him and what an innnitessimal creature ho really is. I often think that about the fit? test place for Grant is at some place in the eonm ry ?rboro there* are cross-roads. I have t--.cn at those placea and have often noticed . c toe scenes. At th?? corner pernaps there ls a v blacksmith's shop. At another corner of the l cross-roads there is a grocery atore, and at ? another a houso where the squite meets to set- - tie cases. Well, I have often notice! at such a junction of sever d roads that wheo the C squire's business is over some fellow will pro- c pose a horse race, and to Rive interest to the thing a barrel ot cider and perhaps a half gal- ? lon ot whiskey will be staked on the result. c Now Grant is just suited to such a situation. His ideas aie of the coes-roads order, and he bas not a thought above that.** Mr. Johnson pays General Butler the com- ( pliment of having a Wonderfully correct idea j of Grant. "He used to, como to seo me much t at one time, and expressed the profoundest ( contempt for Grant. Hts estimate of Grant was about the same as my own. He thought Grant cou'd be made to do anything, that < he could be made a complete tool, and that < if he desired he could have himself invited to i Grao t's house. It happened precisely so, after- ' ward, jost as Butler boasted." 1 HINTS FOR SUMMER. Sea Bat hin g -Dangers ot* Kxeess-Mum? mer Drinks-How to Keep Cool-Diet . for Hot Weather-Fighting the Mos- ( quitoes. Sea and river bathing are now in order, and it is to be hoped that people will not indulge in those lasarles with recklessness. Many con- 1 stitutions are sadly shattered every summer 1 by too much bathing. Bathing is & good thing employed in moder- . ation; but immoderately enjoyed it becomes a very dangerous and damaging thing. Only ' the most robust and souudest system can long : stand daily sea or river immeisions without be? coming impacted. Persons afflicted by organic disabilities should bathe in tue sea or river uot oftener than. overy other day, and in no , event should they remain in the water longer than ten or fifteen minutes. Any indulgence ( in bathing extending to half an. hoar or an boar ( which is more frequently the rale than 1 the exception) is highly injurious, although '. the injury may not be immediately apparent. SUMJtBB DRINKS. .. "What are the beat and most healthful sam - j TOW drinks ... The immediate object of drinking is ta antis- i fy thirst. There is bat one thing capable of ; doing this, ar.d that is water. The principal in? gredient of all the different kind* of drinks used is water, and the parer the water, and the less quantity of Other substances mixed with it, the more perfectly doa? it supply the wants of tho system. This being tbe case, pure water is the best an J most healthful of drinks, not only for sommer, bat for all seasons of the year. The manner in which it is drank ts very im K. taut, if il is swallowed rapidly and in 'ge quantities, it may produce undoo disten? sion and pressure of the stomach, and inter? fere wita its iunotiotis ?*>d thoee of thc sur I rounding organs. It the water thoa swallowed I be very cold, end the system at the same time be su tiering from beat apd fatigue, very seri? ous results are 3 pt to 6 -cur from the sudden shock. Water should alwa\o bo drank slowly. By sipping, the desire for dnuk is more eftV tuafly gratified, and any desirable quantity at anv temperature snav bc drank without it?ri? ons effects. Iee water in summer is not objec? tionable if taken to tins way. Water should not bo drank at or soon after meals, as it in? terferes with the process of digestion. KEES? OWL.'' "It is easy to sav so," says one, " bat how are you going to do lt, this hot weather ?" I will tell you. i he clothing should be light and ! loose, and ot such a character that the air can readily pana tbrou^ h it. It should be changed often. Clothing worn during the day should not be worn at night. The entire body should ne bathed every day so as to keep the pores open and tho pkin clean. Perspiration should not be checked but encouraged, if one does not perspire easilv. Perspiration necessitates e vaporation, and evaporation cools. Dm, avro. Sat sparingly, and avoid everything of . heating, stimulating, or irritating cb ir actor. a? salts, spices, condiments sweets, fats, tea. coffee, tobacco, alcoholic drinks, Ac. The diet *hon1d consist pttnoioaflv or entirely or fruits terries and vegetables. The only proper drink . water. Especially avoid eating mora can the system requires, aa excess in amount ol food H one of the orinoipal causes of that las/, batlees, uaoomtortaWe feeling experienced by so many during Lot weather. Keep a clean conscience as well as a clean skin and clean clothing, and don't get excited. It uncom? fortably warm at any time, immerse tho bands acd feet in cold water, or lot a .-dream of cold waterrun upon the wrists or ankles for a short time, or hold a piece of ico in tho hands. This will Boon cool the whole body. AN ESCAPE FROM MOSQUITOES. How to ovade the annoyance of mosquitoes is, at tins season, a matter of primary impor? tance. Nettings, tho most impervious appa? rently, fail to keep out tho desperate little buz? zers. We have used every stratagem in vain. They will manage to putin an appearanco, and shortly thereafter a bill, just as we compose ourselves for tho much-needed rest; sloop is out of the question with even one mosquito for a bedfellow, wbilo the one shortly becomes a di zen, for the sly little fellows exhibit a great deal of generosity toward each other, and always reveal to their friends the modus operandi of their entry to our closely screened couch. While puzzling our brains recently tor some efficacious protection against these diminutive enemies of human reposo, we re? ceived the following from a friend, which will be found just the thing and never failing. We give it for the bandit of our rend?is : "Take of gum eamphor a piece about one-third the size of an eeg, and evaporate it by placing in a tin vessel, holding it over a lamp or candle, taking care that it does not ignite. The smoke will soon fill the room and expel the mosqui? toes, who will return no moro, at least for that night, even if tho windows bo left opon.' Try it. SUNSTROKE-HOW TO AVOID IT. The season when the sun's rays pour down with their greatest intensity, and inflict upon the head ot man the dangerous malady known as coup de soteil, is new at hand, aod it is well to remind persans ot the fact. Very simple precautions will save persons from being seized by the malady in question. One of the best preventives is a thin piece of sponge loosely sowed into the top of tho hat, and occasionally moistened with water in the course of the day. We have heard of ? man who walked twenty miles under a hot sun with a damp pocket handkeichief inside the crown of his hat, and did not suffer any inconvenience. The pre oautions are BO obvious and simple that peoplo do not regard them. Were they complicated and expensive, their use would be mote gene? ral. JKaTiirt).

No matter how vigorous by nature the system and the constitution may be, they must necessarily.uffer more or less from the doplet lng, effects of the tempe? rature of midsummer, unless strengthened and tra? tained by wholesome tonie treatment. The extra pressure upon the vital forces most be mot and counterbalanced by an extra resistant power; the un - usual and rapid consumption ot the animal flu dB by prolUse perspiration, must be compensated by the perfect digestion and assimilation of toe food taken into the stomach, from which both the fluids and the solids of the body are derived. Otherwise the physical strength declines, and the mind, sympathis? ing with the machinery through which it acts, be? comes depreesed and enervated. A stimulant ls thereiore absolutely required at this season; not av violent one, orientated to produce febrile excitement, but something which will recruit and reinforce the Whola organisation ia proportion to tho extraordi? n?r y drain to whl h tho tot rid beat subj cts it.
