I see no ii J tico taken in the papers of the Boalbern Review, revived in Baltimore, under the management and supervision of those dis? tinguished scholars, Professor Blodsoe and Major Venable, 1 presume the cause of this omission is that there arc too few Fubsortbers to this Review in our city or St aro to authorise an agency to bo established in Charleston. This is a sad state of thinga. Allow mo. in the abseuce of the usual criticism, to bring to tho notice of your readers the content? ?f. the -J?!y number. 1. Alexauder Hamilton; 2. Ameri? can Dictionaries; 3. Anthropology; 4. Chival? rous Southrons; 5. Theories of Reasoning; 6. Pocahontas; 7. Tho Now Soit-nce; 8. Ibo Solar System. All of these fcubjocta aro ably han? dled, and I propose to make a fe .v observations cu ono of them only, on account of some very gross errors. The article on anthropology is a very interest? ing article, but it is clear that uo statesman wrote it. lt is written by some professor some mco man of science, who does not un? derstand tho affairs of State, even of his own times. Speakmg of this continent, ho says: *'Here, however, our investigations ceaso to be preoise, for h TO tho noil is forever tremb? ling with political as with volcanic earthqu ike?. The white man no longer rules supreme hero; he has been poshed a* ide by the reJskins a d the mestizo, and the tenacity or lower races, both in physical and m psychical ?ito, has been exhibited hero in a frightful manner. Tho new world seems to be destined to evolve and to prove new ideas oy most painful experi? ments aud trials. All the calculations of the wipest of European stetesmon have bben con? founded here by n cent events, and all tho ays terns of the most learned naturalists of the old world seem io bo on the point of being over? thrown in this world, whero revolutions are at home occurring periodically in the southern half ind beooming chronic in our own portion. The bloody tragedy which has been recently emoted on Me nc in soil, brought to light the startling fuct that Juarez, ?he murdarer of Maximilian, was a negro Indu n ot the State of ?a jaca. And the hear ii eu dui g farce ot see? ing untaught negroes eoiemnly isduing decreed and proclaiming laws for the better govern? ment of the descendants of English Cavaliers and French Huguenots, seems to defy the views ot American anthropologists, who. here? tofore, held the negro incapable of a higher culture, and the pride ot the European who believed in his own iosnperable pro-eminence." Here, it is asserted, that the inferiority at? tributed to the Indian and negro races is dis? proved (or at least rendered doubtful) by the overthrow and murder of Maximilian in Mexi? co, and the subjection"of certain Southern States to negro rnlo. Aa to the overthrow of Maximilian, it was produced entirely by the withdrawal of tko French troops. With only tea thousand French troops Maximilian easily conquered the six millions of Indians in Mexico and established his throne. Ibo United States Govornmont intervened, and Napoleon, to avoid war with the,United States, under their threats and re? monstrances, withdrew the french troops. That Maximilian-a foreigner-pot over Mex? ico by foreign troops, could hold bis throne without them against the six millions of In? dians in Mexico, backed by the United States, was next tc au ' impossibility. His fall provoj nothing in fator of Indian efficiency, or the false estimate of Europeans with re? spect to them. With ten thousand troops Gene? ral Scott conquered Morice With the sams rt^ijtftfrfr^ Tfr^fill iwqi?tli?ll it.ARd wUb tneruamuu umber o? Amia.-. -^.^ ul o pt tri. troops it o tn be conquered again'. Ino Indian of Mexico is as weak os he ever was. The only chanoe tor power and prosperity which Majxico hoe had since its mongrelism and its fatal pre? tension to political liberty under the forms of free government, in imitation of the Govern? ment of tho United State a, was tho government of Maximilian. Tho United States has deprived ber of this, and now cho reverts back to the chronic revolution and bloody despotism which has been her fate since her release from the authority cf Spain. Tho wo alt li and civiliza? tion of Mexico under the rule or the white race bas long sinos loft her, by their cmigra t'on, under a despotism with the form1) of freo government, which her people can neither appreciate nor administer. The greatest curse ou this continent has been the United States to the other States in habiting it-offseting a po? litical liberty which waS impossible with their people, and now apparently impossible with the United States themselves. Tho other proof of the faleo estimate of Euro? peans is of the negro in the South. There ought to be a book writ tea on "The Curiosi? ties of Stupidity," and when written, foremost on its pages should ba placed the assertions of this artiole, that "negroes aro solomo, iy issuing decrees and proclaiming laws, of their wisdom and invention, for the better government of the deacon dints of Cavaliers and Huguenots." Is it possible that this writer does not know that the negro, in tho hands of the Yankee, is nothing but a voting machino to give him powor? Docs he not-know that tho greater part of tho la*s, passed in tho Southern Le? gislatures to uphold Yankee role lu the South, were actually concocted in Washington ? And even when this has not been the casa, who but; the white Southern traitor and Yankee carpet? bagger in our State Legislatures have framed the laws passed in these Legislatures? Ia South Carolina, who but Corbin and SoDtt, and Moses, father and sou, and Orr, and - Mackey, and Chamberlain, and the whole orew of rob? bers and tyrants, who now rule the State, have originated the laws which oppress her ? And one step farther back, who supports them in their rule but the Government of the United States? The truth is, they and the negroes are nothing but the instruments of the United Stales to rule and to crush the South. This is the simple truth. The governments in the 8outk, under the Reconstruction laws of Congress, are not governments ot the .people of the South, white or blaok. They ara noth? ing but governments of the United States, resting on the bayonets of the United States soldiery, under the command of President Grant. The United States have sat them up, and if they were to withdraw io morrow their military power, which alone sustains them, they would collapse forthwith, like a iou! blis? ter pierced. Moth)og, therefore, ?an be more surprising and disgusting than to find a leal lng Southern periodical affirming the suprem? acy aad rule of the negro in the affairs and laws of the South. The negro ia a convenient tool to p?.'&?u?te Yankee interests, aad to in? dulge Yankee hate-and, la DO very long timo, to become their vietim. The Worst government on earth, ia a despotism under the forma of free government. Whilst noticing those erroneous viowa, we cannot, however, top highly commend the Boothera Review to the patronage of the South? ern pc?.pie.

Scott: HOVBBMOB-AfOr reading your letter call? ing upon all law-abiding citizens to yield to law? passed by tbe Legislature, and aid you in restoring tho -State to its former prosperity, I, with many who are proud of having, for four years, struggled to protect our rights, deter? mined to do all io our power to allay the bad feeling engendered by unjust legislation. So monstrous ie the injustice being practio?J, ?uai we are charitable enough to suppose tbat your Excellency is ignorant Of our. g aie vanees. I, therefore, lay before you facts. When the assessor notified the planters of this river ts meet bis assistant for the purpose ot valuiug property, the land-holders, anxious to da what was right, proposed that those planters familiar with tbe valuation of their lands should, with the assessor, appraise the landed property. This was agreed to. m?. lands ib cultivation were valued at the price of before the war. Unreclaimed lands were re? garded as pasture lands, and vatued at five dol? lars per acre. Although those valuations far ex? ceeded the prese.nt market price, we were astis Qed, believing the justice of our comae would prove our anxiety to comply with the require? ments of law. But to our surprise, wben called upon to pay taxes, we find our returns entirely ' changed. 1 -ands valued at five dollars are as? sessed at figures ranging from twenty to twen? ty-two dollars per aere, and cultivated lands have an addition of from ten to thirteen dollars per aero. Upon this valuation twenty-five per cent, is added for c >unty purposes, and upon the whole, fifty per cent, additional for State pur? poses. If it be law that seventy-five per cent, should be added to our valuation of property, I have nothing to oonplain of, as we know that so long es the State is controlled by s party of non-prbperty-holders, who create useless offices to maintain power, and who do not feel tbe burthen of taxation, which is equal to a confis catioo, we have nothing to hopo for or ex? pect but heavy taxation; but what I do com? plain of is the arbitrary, unjust and tyrannical, Dower vested in your assessor or Board of County Commissioners, who, without ever visiting our property, and in direct violation of this law, has changed tho valuation of the as? sistant assessors, who were sent upon the pro? perty, ana whom we aided m rendering justice to tho State as well as the proprietor. Now, I respectfully ask if this injustice meets your approval? Again, we were requested to notify oar la? borers that the assessor was ready to take their returns, and a day was appointed for tbe pur poso. Only a 'few colored citizens appear? ed. Upon inquiring the canee, we were told that members of Union Leagues had to pay no taxes. Time has passed-we have-been oblig? ed to pay our taxes-and no efforts are being made to collect the taxes from those in our em ploy, or tho many colored farmers around us. Oar people cannot be satisfied with an administration that, to every appearance, doea not intend making State officers collect taxes from colored tren Laws are passed and mani? festoes issued purporting tbat justice shall be done the white citizen as well os the colored. Are these laws and manifestoes intended sim? ply for the public eye ? Are we to infer that tbe non-propertv-holders of the State who con? trol the government have given this unlimited power to assessors and county commissioners, for tbe purpose of so changing tbe valuation ot property, tbat the amount; required for State purposes can be raised, without calling on the colored people for even a poll tax ? ,. . It cannot be disputed that, had State officers compelled the colored citizens to make returns, our laxes would not be such a burthen. Does it meet TOUT Excellency's approval that our la? borers should be exempt from payincr taxes upon their dos*, bogs. cows, end throat fbojjollt, ?r?i^?DM?tfcjse taxes? '(antUfiS edaoatlon TfeytXto be Used for tbe education of oolored children.) . ... If your Excellency will but give us justice, and prove to us that the white man shall be OB fairly dealt with as the ofiorel man, the law abiding citizen will reoogaizo yon as practicing what yon call upoa us to do; and to a man tuev will rally to tho support of laws, when impartially executed. ?ANTEE.

Tho freight was conveyed in the wagons of the company to. the depot of the Central Railroad, where st was deposited in the express oar, and soon afterward tbe train started for Savannah. Be? sides the passengers and employees of tbe railroad on the train that night?*there were also' on board two train bauds,,Francia B. Bland and-Lassitor, both of this city, and a third party, a baggagj-Totntter named Hart-rove, from Savannah. Tbe tran of cars, beside the engine and tender, consisted of a box car, next to this a car divided mt? two compartments, and known as the Macon ex? press and baggage ear-the first compartment being occupied bj the Macon imessenger, while tbe second compartment wak filled with baggage for Macon-a. par'ition, With a door in it, separated the two rooms* coxt to this the Augusta express and baggage .-ur- then a second-class passenger ear; and following this the other passenger sars. ' VTbeai tbe train had arrived at ?Station No. Tvofroin Savannah, Mr. Mays left his oar and weat with the baggage-master, Hargrove, into the soco?d-class passenger oar, ?mere a watermelon was cat and eaten in company, we understand, with Bland and Las&iter. .Not long after this the messenger, feeling sleepy, went back to the Macon baggage car with Hargrove. Arrived there, Hargrove, who kept the key of tho door between the two rooms, opened the door and slays went to bed, beding Hargrove, as the latter turned to leave the exprese for his own ear, to be sure and look the door between them. Thia was done, and Mays went to sleep almost immediate ly af terward. Several hours afterward the (rain anived si Millen, where it m at tue down night train iron this city, and the messenger awoke. Takinc his sate key from his pocket he opened hit money ehest for the purpose of tr*naferrln| the money packages for Augusta and receiving those for Macon. It was at this time that thc loss was first discovered. Wben the sate wat opened the messenger found that four pack ages, containing in the aggregate a great dea more than four thousand dollars, had beai taken from the cheat. While he so s?nndl slambered some person or persons must hav< entered tbe esr, searched his person? withou s waking bim from bia sleep, and taken th? key from toe pocket of the sleeper, robbed th Safe of the four packages and returned the ke. again, getting out undiscovered. inK SVSMOIBD PASTIES. < Wh?n the messenger discovered his loss, h went on to Macon and informed the sampan of tbe robb jr j.

Though .the: men were strongly suspected of baring coe 1 mitted the robbery, .there was no testimony i sustain the charge, and any false movemos any arrest on suspicion alone, would rain ev rything. Accordingly the affair was kept i quiet as possible, that the suspected parti might not become frightened, whilst the poll uov r for a moment ceased their exertions; I to th s first of August, so quiet had the afb been kept, tb st not a ne ve pa per in the Sta had gotten hold of it, and on that morning t robbery was published for the first time lo t columns of the Chronicle and Sentinel. THE AB ?EST MA DI. Thus tho affair progressed until last Satt day morning; the suspicions of the police st resting on tho same parties, but no positi groot, haring been obtained of their gui ?ne of tho men, Frank Bland, was suspect more strongly than either of the others: 1 tnough ot known imnecuniosity, hs was h vi in a very extravagant Style, and seemed to very flush of brads. Oa tbe evening of Batt day. tue three men were all ascertained to ba the city, and it was determined that the til had arrived for striking the blow. Aocoraini a warrant was obtained: and the police offie; sallied out and found and arrested Hsrgr? and Lassitar onT'wtggs-street. Turning ot these two men, os soon as arrested* to soi privates, the officers rodo rapidly to a b room in tho upper part of the city, ?< the comer of Broad and Campbell stree where Bland was also discovered and oapti ed, without offering any resistance, thou bom his well known character for courage fight might bavo been expected.

Thc prison? w?ro searched for the money, but the seal was nnsucoeestah On Hargove was found o twenty dollars; ca Bland fourteoa dollars a . a quarter, and on Lassiter twenty-five ceo Before Justice Ells nothing concerning 4 robbery was elicited. AU three of them ?to ly protested their innocence, and Bland ss with an oath, that he wa? "none too Hood do it; but that he never would have entered express safe and only taken four thousand c lars." It was remarked, too, that while in : polio? officer's looiu and ?barged with the r bery, be exclaimed tbat "so much money t not taken." Nothing having transpired at t time, tbe accused were committed to Jail dora Jt of four thousand dollars bail which \ demanded. BLABS MAH.es A COOTSASIOX. After an incarceration of the prison* great efforts were made to ioduse one'of three to turn State's evidence; for if that not accomplis ?ed the arrest would have b of no avail. If this was done it must bs d quickly in order that the money might bo covered before it was carried away from city by outside parties who must hare il their possession. These efforts were atten with snob success that on yesterday moro Bland, fearful, it seems, that Hargrove wo leave him in the lurch, determined to ant pate any stop of tbat kind; and turned Sta evidence himself and mpde a confession ot orlme.

A peculiar gloom spread like a poll i over the landscape, while : o ti angin g tints of black, orange, indigo and leaden hues oovered the heavens near the horizon, north and south. Tho spectacle waa magnificent and sublime and tho crowd about the cupola spontaneously burst out with ''Praise Qod from whom all blessings flow." During the totality two blades of crim? son light seemed to out the moon's circumfer? ence, and curved lines were visible across the disc o? the moon, resembling the groined pro? jections of tho top 0! somo gothic cathedral. Ho point conld hare offered betterfacihtioa for taking an observation than ibis, and the cir? cumstances were all that could be wished. Every, facility was extended by Dr. Grissom. of the asylum, and to whom the Washington porty are much indebted. A dispatch from Springfield, Illinois, says : The total ?elipse.at Springfield, Illinois, was a startling and sublime phenomenon. The sky waa peifeotly olear. Professor Pearce, of Har? vard, had charge of the observations which were mode near the city reservoir. A hundred giotographs of the eclipse were taken by Mr. lock, ot Boston. Whan the totil observation took place the heavens and earth presented a scene of awt ul BUbkmity. ? billi lant a niber- col? ored corona appeared around the sun and moon, .hooting rays of light outward in all direc? tions, when the whole horizon was illuminated with light of the same color. The planets Mer? cury and Venus and a number of fixed ttars were distinctly risible, but uo planetoids be? tween Mercury and the sun were discovered. Brilliant rays of colare i flame or protuberances wer? noticed on the western limb ol the sun during the period of total obscuration. The phenomenon known as "Bailey's Beads ' was also distinctly witnessed. The phenome? non, Professor Pearce tb mks, is oooasioued bj I refraction of light. He is imo satisfied that thc corona at the tune of total obscuration was oc? casioned bv the sun's atmosphere. . The moment the eclipse became total, tb? flame-lik" prutnberaneaa WAK? aeon with won dertal distinctness, one very large on tba lowe) I limb of tbe sun, and three nearly as large ot tho upper limb, while at least seven br eight o I them lu all * er * risible.

To the naked eye it seemed os thou gi there were openings of tissures in the moon; tw> on the east side and ooo on the southwest side Just alter the total eclipse, tl-ousdi three opec inge, the lurid glow of the sun was distinotl visible. The corona was not, aa generally do scribed in books, &c, a halo of 1 ght surround ing t he moon, but was distinctly seen to be fine pointed prong on tho lower and two o the upper circumferenca of the moon. Tb points presented a radiant appearance. Tb generally received theory regar Jin ? this cc rona, that lt is tba atmosphere of the sui ' does not seem to be sustained by observation mode at thu point. Ic is conjectured that tu corona is in some wa; caused by the pheootni na of light passing through tho atm isphor Although search was made no planotarv bodu were observed between Mercury and the sm Darin* the totality phase. Mercury, Venu Regulus, Mars, Saturn and other stars wei visible. Temperatura in the shade at the b ginning of the eclipse was 77 degrees; duri? totality 45 degrees, and at the end it bad riss to 70 degrees; at 8.40, in the sun, in tho gras tho thermometer was at 100 degr?s: a fo minutes after 4 o'clock it ro30 to 10- degree while daring tbe total eclipse it fell \? fi? d grecs, bot subsequently roso to 80 dei, rees.

Cupping, leeching, blistering, venesec? tion, calomel, antimony, stnpifying narcotics, and rasping purgatives, once the favorite resourees of tbe faculty, are now rarely resorted to even by tbe most dogmatic members of the profession.
